Copperhead Road - Steve Earle

Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
When the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Columbia and Mexico
I just plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
And now the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Well I know the words, but I can't really speak them
To you
And I hide all the pain that I've gained with my wisdom
From you
And I'm eaten alive by what I hold inside
All the things that I live with I can't easily hide
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you
It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
Until I'm not alive
When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly?
To you?
I can't seem to erase all the scars I have lived with
From you...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XXAaACch-Bw

I Fall to Pieces
Patsy Cline
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget (to forget)
Pretend we've never met (never met)
And I've tried and I've tried
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name (speaks your name)
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who love me too (love me too)
The way you used to do (used to do)
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces

'The Rapper' by The Jaggerz


Hey girl, I bet ya
There's someone out to get you
You'll find him anywhere
On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store
He'll say "Excuse me, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after

So, he starts his rappin'
Hoping something will happen
He'll say he needs you
A companion, a girl he can talk to
He's made up his mind
He needs someone to sock it to

Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after

He's made an impression
So he makes a suggestion
"Come up to my place
For some coffee or tea or me"

He's got you where he wants you
Girl, you've gotta face reality

Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper

Pink floyd- Eclipse

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

Lyrics:

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
(All of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

" . . . to divide and rule, could only tear us apart.

In every man's chest, there beats a heart.

Soon we'll find out who is, the REAL revolutionary. . .

Currently listening to Curtis Mayfield, but lyrically, anything by Iron and Wine. The imagery in his lyrics really sets the mood for a peaceful day ahead. I used to listen to "Our Endless Numbered Days" every day on the way to work for about a year, and it truly improved my outlook each day. The album cover is an impressionist painting of Sam Beam laying his head down on the grass, and it couldn't be a more perfect image to sum up the entire theme of the album.. a lazy summer day.

A song I find lyrically genius though: The White Stripes - Effect and Cause https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATy5mGrpUxQ This song sums up the plight of basically every old hand on these forums. Listen to it, and let it remind you that you're fighting the good fight.

Bonus song for every love lost: David Bowie - Letter To Hermione https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw3BcdtGnFg Really kills me to listen to this one, always brings out deep memories. RIP. :')

'Dreamer'
Tommy Bolin (R.I. P.)



Halfway gone, and halfway back,
You're always dreaming' 'bout what you lack.
You're takin' your time from your busy day,
To sit by the track and watch the train roll away.
Dreamer I know what you're thinkin',
I can see it in your face.
Maybe before you were happy,
But now your thoughts aren't of this place.
You've begun to change now baby, I don't see.
Oh but I know you well and it's clear to me.
You think chains hold you here now baby, but they don't exist.
You don't have to stay mama, I won't insist.
Dreamer I know what you're thinkin',
I can see it in your face.
Maybe before you were happy,
But now your thoughts aren't of this place.
So take the train today, and don't look back again.
Live the dreams you have, don't dwell on what has been.
Your future's…

So take the train today, and don't look back again.
Live the dreams you have, don't dwell on what has been.
Your future's brighter now, there's brighter days ahead.
Any sad farewell words, better left unsaid.
Dreamer I know what you're thinkin',
I can see it in your face.
Maybe before you were happy,
But now your thoughts aren't of this place.
Maybe before you were happy, but now your thoughts aren't of this place.
I only wish you were with me, someone like you can't be replaced.

Indigo Girls – Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Lyrics

Translation in progress. Please wait...
loader.gif



Indian legislation's on the desk of a do right congressman
And he don't know much about the issues so he picks up the phone
And asks the advice of the senator out in Indian country
A darling of the energy companies ripping off
What's left of the reservation

I learned the safety rule
I don't know who to thank
Don't stand between the reservation
And the corporate bank
They're sending federal tanks
It isn't nice but it's reality

Bury my heart at wounded knee
I said deep in the earth
Won't you cover me with pretty lies
Bury my heart at wounded knee

We got these energy companies
Who want to take the land
And we got churches by the dozens
Trying to guide our hands
And turn our mother earth
Over to pollution war and greed
No no

Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee
I said deep in the earth
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Won't you cover me with pretty lies
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee

We got the federal marshals
We got the covert spies
We got the liars by fire
And the FBI
They lie in court and get nailed
And still Leonard Peltier goes off to jail
(the bullets don't match the gun)

Bury my heart at wounded knee
An eighth of the reservation
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Was transferred in secret
Bury my heart at wounded knee
We got your murder and intimidation
Bury my heart at wounded knee

My girlfriend anna may
Talked about uranium
Her head was full of bullets
And her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands
And told us she died of exposure

To bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee
I said deep in the earth
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Won't you cover me with your pretty lies
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Talk about a revolution
They stole my land
They won't steal my soul

We had the gold rush wars
Why didn't we learn to crawl'
And now our history gets written in a liar's scrawl
They tell me "don't be so uptight
I mean honey you can still be an Indian
Down at the y on saturday night''

Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee
I said deep in the earth
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Won't you cover me with your pretty lies
Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart at wounded knee

Bury my heart
It was an eighth of the reservation
Bury my heart
Yeah was transferred in secret
Bury my heart
Got your murder, murder, murder and intimidation
Bury me
Bury me
Bury me
Bury my heart
Bury my heart
Bury my heart
Bury my heart

Everybody's Talkin' [From Midnight Cowboy]

Harry Nilsson


Harry Nilsson




Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the Northeast wind Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the Northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Everybody's talking at me Can't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind I won't let you leave my love behind No, I won't let you leave I won't let you leave my love behind I won't let you leave

Stephen Stills – Treetop Flyer Lyrics


Translation in progress. Please wait...
loader.gif



I could be a rambler from The Seven Dials
I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file
I don't do business that don't make me smile
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style
I'm a treetop flyer

I will fly any cargo that you can pay to run
These bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done
Got to fly down into the canyons, you'll never see the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run
For a treetop flyer

I'm flyin' low, I'm in high demand
Go fifteen feet over the Rio Grande
I'll blow the mesquite right up of off the sand
Seldom seen, especially when I land
I'm a treetop flyer
Born Survivor

People been asking me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
Was over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA
The government taught me, and they taught me right,
Stay down, under the treeline, you might be alright
Treetop flyer

So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
I promised my woman this is gonna be my last
I get the shit down, I tie it fast
Then some old boy walks up, and he says
"Hey son want to make some fast cash?"
I'm a treetop flyer

Well there's things I am, and there's things I'm not
I am a smuggler and I could get shot
Aint going to die, I ain't goin' to get caught,
See I'm a flyin' fool, in an aeroplane, just too hot
I'm a treetop flyer
Born survivor

Usually work alone

I find my mind falling like rainbows
Casting sweet shadows over the long time moon glow
Unicorns prancing in my mind, aligned
Sweet lady dancing here and I keep the time
I love you
My long-haired lady

Following gardens down to some soft stream
Falling down rivers, swirling on by downstream
Sweet honey dripping in the afternoon
High, lonely, flying, cries the sad, silver loon
I love you
My long-haired lady

Do you believe love at first sight lasts forever?
And can you know I loved you for life, in this hour?
And sometimes it gets a little shaky, huh
That's when you got to carry on; it'll be all right
It will be all right
My long-haired lady

Fairy moon maiden, won't you come by me
I have been waiting by the long, dark, cold sea
My ship is laden with sweet gifts for thee
My lovely lady, won't you dance by me
I love you
My long-haired lady

Do you believe love at first sight lasts forever?
And can you know I loved you for life, in this hour?
And sometimes it gets a little crazy, huh
That's when you got to hang on to me; it'll be all right
It will be all right
It'll be all right
My long-haired lady

TEMPTATIONS

Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)

People movin' out
People movin' in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, and I'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on
Well, the only person talkin'
'Bout love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems,
Nobody is interested in learnin'
But the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration,
Integration, aggravation,
Humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today, hey-hey

The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walkin' around with
Their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time
And, the beat goes on

Air pollution, revolution, gun control,
Sound of soul
Shootin' rockets to the moon
Kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will
Solve everything
And the band played on
So round 'n' round 'n' round we go
Where the world's headed, sayin' nobody knows
Great googa-mooga can't you hear me talkin' to you?
It's just a Ball of Confusion
Oh yea, that's what the world is today, hey-hey

Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast,
The Beatles' new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is
On an indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand,
Population out of hand
Suicide, too many bills, hippies movin'
To the hills
People all over the world, are shoutin'
End the war
And the band played on.

Great googa-mooga can't you hear me talkin' to you?
It's just a Ball of Confusion
Oh yea, that's what the world is today, hey-hey
Lemme hear ya, lemme hear ya, lemme hear ya say
Ball Of Confusion - that's what the world is today, hey-hey
