To the tune of jungle bells:
Hack it up, hack it up, hack it up, oh man. There's stuff on my hand.

Flu Ride. Bob Rivers.

https://youtu.be/csJ1t0KyhSc. “Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says, "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
That only love can fill, only love can fill"
Been walkin' all mornin', went walkin' all night
I can't see much difference between the dark and light
And I feel the wind and I taste the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much pain
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says, "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
Only love can fill, only love can fill"
From day to day just letting it ride
You get so far away from how it feels inside
You can't let go 'cause you're afraid to fall
But the day may come when you can't feel at all
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says, "Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
That only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill"

cold beer

Well I'm sitting on my stoop feelin' kinda lonely
Me and Brenda fightin' so I call up the homies
But guys busy hangin' out in front of Sobey's
There's only one little fella who really knows me
He comes in a little brown, bottle or can
Sits in my hand til I can barely stand
He's part of the family, he's part of the team
Took me under his wing when I was just a teen
Every time he comes around he always
Takes me back to when I had a fake ID, and a little dirt stash
Get a road soak, cold pop, two-four
Wob pop, pop top, twist top, tall boy, cold shot

pretty much any daniel dumile

half up front, half upon mastering.
would you like that in cash?
last thing you should ask the king.
you don't have to be a crystal ball reader,
allergic to saltpeter;
used to be a wallbeater.

later for the date than the hadron collider

one for the money,
two for the better green
3,4-methylene-dioxy-methamphetamine

he's like worf,
some say stronger though.
off top, jay strongbow...
play along, bro.
wear a mask like yo off the gong show.
flow's slow as mongo.

don't mind me,
i wrote this rhyme lightly
off of 2 or 3 heinies,
and boy was they fine g...
one black, one spanish, one chinee
it keeps the woody shiny year round
like a pine tree.

~~~~~

no prob,
got the job;
hot bard
heart throb.
scotch guard the bar
with cotton swabs;
dart lob.

~~~~~

still back in the game
like jack lalane,
think you know the name?
don't rack your brain;
on a fast track to half sane,
either on a slow beat,
or that the speed
of 'wrath of kane';
laughter, pain.



i dunno if they're my all time favorites, just a grab bag of ones i remember at the moment

i also really love leonard cohen's "who by fire"

"Box of Rain"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Phil Lesh

“Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A a box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there”

Scrapper Blackwell - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money and I did not care
Carryin' my friends out for the good time
Buyin' bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Lord, but I got busted and I fell so low
Didn't have no money and nowhere to go
This is the truth, Lord, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down

I mean, nobody wants you when you're down

Lord, the other day I asked the man for my rent
He told me, boy, the money he had spent
But I tried my best to try one or two
That's everything that I could do

Lord, nobody let me have one lousy dime
I'm out there worryin' now all the time
But I'm gonna tell you this is true, Lord, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down
Nobody wants you when you're down

Lord, if I could get my hands on a dollar again
I would hold it 'til that eagle grins
I would try him just for one little house
Nobody knows me when I'm down and out

Lord, I'll try for another day
To make my troubles in my own way
But I'm gon' tell you the truth, Lord, without a doubt
Nobody knows me when you're down
I mean nobody knows me when you're down

And a good 2021 for one and all! :tiphat:

Kiss My Ring
Veteran
Well, it won't be long now
Until that 'ol sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with the hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstair
--- Instrumental ---
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with the hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs...

Like Houdini in the river with a lock he couldn't see
When you think you hit the bottom then you better find the key
Like Custer at the Horn when he turned around and said
When you think you finally got 'em, you're just as good as dead

It's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
It's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
It's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
It's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise

Like Ponce De Leon speakin' Spanish in the swamp
I was lookin' for a fountain, but it's water that I want
Like Pike at the top and every other freak
I was lookin' for a mountain, I took a little peak

It's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
It's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
It's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
It's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise

Like Buddah at the sermon when he didn't say a word
If you think you hear a flower, it's a flower that you heard
Like Da Vinci on the roof with his arm in a sling
A man's got the power, but a bird's got the wing

It's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
It's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
It's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
It's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise

Like Vincent Van Gogh when he chopped off his ear
I'd like to give her twenty, but I still gotta hear
Like Crockett at the wall lookin' back to Tennessee
The livin' costs you plenty, but the dyin's still for free

It's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
It's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
It's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
It's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise

And let me see what spring is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words
Hold my hand
In other words
Baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words
Please be true
In other words
I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words
Please be true
In other words
In other words
I love you
