Quote from: Blues Traveler, The Best PartWell what do you know here we are again
Been a long time I
can't remember when
Well I wrote another one and guess
who it's for
Don't mind if I'm embarrassed I
can't take it anymore
You know I travel the world but
I don't go no place
And I got you to blame and the
smile on your face
You know I look in your eyes I see a
part of me there
So excuse my directness, but I just
don't care

What I think I'm talking about
is a last ditch chance
Don't care about the likelihood
or circumstance
It seems I am still here and I am waiting
for you
And I've no reason no time and an excellent
view
Of your eyes in my head and it's killing me
But the possibilities are thrilling me
So I guess
I'll sit right here with nothing better to do
And to
top it all of you know the best part is...


I'm
gonna let you on in on a big surprise
My heart is where the
eagle flies
Yeah I'm the master of my destiny
That's why I need you right here with me
You see
I've come to learn that without you around
I might as
well be standing on the ground
And with you with me and
with me with you
There's not a goddamn thing that we
could not do

I'm not talking about us never
being alone
I'm just suggesting we make the world our
home
You've got to fly free and so do I
And this
way we'd never need to say good-bye
But instead things
like "see you soon"
And "explore and play"
And "the
one you love is not far away
But safe in your heart to see
you through"
And to top it all of you know the best part is
that I

I'm gonna take you take you by the hand
You
know even General Custer had to make a stand
I'll drop
in from the skies or I'll move in slow
But
there's so damn much that I want you to know
So take a
look around you tell me what do you see?
Then take those
eyes and take a look at me
You know you see things that
others don't
So if you think I'll go away, I
won't

You see my engine's blown and it is
time to punt
And there's an element of danger pulling
off this stunt
But the survey says that I don't seem
to mind
And you're the adventure I'm trying to
find
There's a whole lot of things that other people
have said
But I don't care if I'm correct or if
it's all in my head
So damn the torpedoes and cock a
doodle-doo!
And to top it all of you know the best part
is...
That I love you

I'm singing I love
you
Please, I'm down on my knees
In the north and
the south and the east and the west
Make it the very, very,
very
best best part best part

Quote from: Violent Femmes, Gone Daddy GoneBeautiful girl lovely dress
High school smiles oh yes
Beautiful girl lovely dress
Where she is now I can only guess
Cause its gone daddy gone
Your love is gone
Gone daddy gone
The love is gone away
When I see you
Eyes will turn blue
When I see you
Thousand eyes turnin blue
Tell by the way you that you switch and walk
I can see by the way that you baby talk
I can know by the way you treat your man
I can love you baby til its a cryin
Beatiful girl lovely dress
15 smiles oh yes
Beautiful girl lovely dress
Where she is now I can only guess

I always thought it was "love the dress"

When I was a teenager, I made my poor mom listen to Violent Femmes whenever we were in the car.  Got so she loved them.  When she moved to Europe, she stole my tape.

I'm old, but I'm not that old.  I never had an 8-track.

I'm younger than you, and we had a car with an 8track player.  We had Elvis and REO Speedwagon 8 tracks.
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

My dad gave my brother some stereo system he bought at a garage sale that had an 8-track player.  But we didn't have any 8 tracks.

Quote from: Cary Bros - Blue EyesWish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You're the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you...

Quote from: Lucky Boys Confusion - BewareCut the engine when I'm all revved up, pull the rug beneath my feet.
Pull the trigger when I'm wound up, then you turn your back on me.
Then you say that I'm talking too much, but I'm just talking to myself.
And whether you like it or not you'll never ask for help.

Breathing for you
Can't be all in my head.
Changing scares you
This is all in your head
Beware I swear, I will be waiting there
Beware I swear, I will be waiting there

Draw the battlelines and back me down to the corner with such ease.
Turn the knife til I'm so worked up all I do is aim to please.
The power balance is now upside down with a sudden change of gears.
Every single word is now washed up by your crocodile tears.

Breathing for you
Can't be all in my head.
Changing scares you
This is all in your head
Beware I swear, I will be waiting there
Beware I swear, I will be waiting there

The setting sun crumbles in the distance.
Feeble words meeting new resistance.
Tired games to they make a difference.
Tired games, tired games

Beware I swear, I will be waiting there
Beware I swear, I will be waiting there
Beware I swear, I will be waiting there
Beware I swear, I will be waiting there

Raconteurs Level

My baby's on the level
I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessing all the time

But I can't see the road
If I'm looking at the signs
I'm carrying a load
And stepping out of line

My baby's on the level
I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessing all the time

Oh well how can I see the road
If I'm looking at the signs?
I'm carrying a load
And stepping out of line
16:15:43 [Gamplayerx] Juneau, I could really go for some pie. You better Belize it!

I like the Raconteurs.

I can't stand the White Stripes, though.

QuoteBilly Liar's got his hands in his pockets
Staring over at the neighbor's, knickers down.
He's got his knickers down.

So the summer is eternity for you?
Sleeping in until your father's shaking you down,
He's shaking you down.

And the mailroom shift gets a real short shrift
As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around,
All skulking around.

Let your legs loll on the lino
'Til your sinews spoil.
Will you stay here for a while, dear,
'Til the radio plays something familiar?
Plays something familiar.

All a-drifting, he's a no-good boyo
Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame
(His only catch all day)

So he sits and lets the current take him
A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray
And at his ankles lain.

As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep.
He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls.
How she twists and twirls!

Let you legs loll on the lino
'Til your sinews spoil.
Will you stay here for a while, dear,
'Til the radio plays something familiar?
Plays something familiar.

QuoteLookin' back on the track for a little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.
Lookin' back

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind, yeah!

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind.

Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Lookin' back on the track for a little little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind,
Alright.

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind.
A clever man commits no minor blunders.

Galileo Galileo!
What have you done?
To say that the Earth
Revolves around the Sun.

Everybody knows
The Earth is flat.
Sure as the Pope wears a pointy hat.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

Quote from: Moody Blues, Your Wildest DreamsOnce upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams

Good song.  Much better than what's in my head:

Duff beer for me!
Duff beer for you!
You have a Duff!
I'll have one too!

ad nauseum.
