2channel8, Great song! Check out Roy Buchanan's version. It is fantastic. https://youtu.be/Vq1sm_6Whro N |
In one of the sexiest songs I’ve ever heard (it makes Prince sound like a Jr. High School boy), Lucinda Williams in her song "Essence" sings: "Baby, sweet baby.........you’re my drug come on and let me..........taste your stuff" "Baby, sweet baby..........bring me your gift what surprise you gonna.........help me with?" "Baby, sweet baby.........whisper my name shoot your love..........into my vein" "Baby, sweet baby..........kiss me hard make me wonder..........who’s in charge" "Baby, sweet baby..........I wanna feel your breath even though you like to..........flirt with death" "Baby, sweet baby..........can’t get enough please come find me (or does she say confine me?)..........and help me get f*cked up" Those are the verses; there are also the choruses. Yes, in the literal sense it's about shooting up, but that's also a metaphor. Drummer Jim Keltner and the rest of her band create an absolutely killer groove to match the lyrics. This song is a masterpiece! Excuse me, I hafta go wake up my girlfriend ;-). |
"...and you know that you're over the hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill...". Little Feat - "Old Folks Boogie" "...if you were a pill I'd take a handful at my will and knock you back with something sweet and strong...". The Replacements - "Valentine" ..."they got rats on the west side, bed bugs uptown...". The Rolling Stones - "Shattered" ...she was sharp as a razor, soft as a prayer..." Tom Waits - "Bad Liver And A Broken Heart" Just a few of the gems revisited during the weekend. Next weekend? Alice's Restaurant and The Last Waltz on infinite rotation for a day. Following day is Christmas tree hunting with a healthy dose of Vince Guaraldi's now timeless soundtrack in the background. Enjoy Thanksgiving, folks! |
"Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream" -Roger Waters "No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn" -Jim Morrison "The wheel is turning and you can't slow down, You can't let go and you can't hold on, You can't go back and you can't stand still, If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will." -Robert Hunter Too many more... |
Now open wide, the doctor's here Everything is fine, got nothing to fear Strap 'em down, we're outta gas Stop your bawling, you little brat Let's get this over with, I tee off in a hour Didn't wash up, yesterday I took a shower Get this over with, I tee off in an hour My Cadillac's running Let's.. Rip, rip, we're gonna rip 'em out now Rip, rip, we're gonna rip 'em out now Rip, rip, we're gonna rip 'em out now Rip, rip, we're gonna rip 'em out now |

An elegant song won't hold up long When the palace falls and the parlour's gone We all must leave but it's not the end We'll meet again at the festival of friends. Smiles and laughter and pleasant times There's love in the world but it's hard to find I'm so glad I found you - I'd just like to extend An invitation to the festival of friends. Some of us live and some of us die Someday God's going to tell us why Open your heart and grow with what life sends That's your ticket to the festival of friends. Like an imitation of a good thing past These days of darkness surely will not last Jesus was here and he's coming again To lead us to his festival of friends. Black snake highway - sheet metal ballet It's just so much snow on a summer day Whatever happens, it's not the end We'll meet again at the festival of friends. - Bruce Cockburn, Festival of Friends And in the end, the love you take Is equal to the love you make - the Beatles |
Can I interest you in a lychee nut? Through your decadent yearnings they say Rome is still burning There's a perfect view when your eyes are shut Please ignore the warning, there's no law against yawning When your rice wined eyes meet the Rising Sun You'll forget you're in prison as The Paddy Fields glisten Spring in Peking where the land meets the sea, just follow me to the land of the free Spring in Peking ahhh Now you're free to move any place you want But if ever we lost ya there's a bug in your nostril Consider what it would cost ya if the other side got ya Here's your home from home, called the Gilded cage All at peace and contented, these are words we invented😎 |
I know your life is empty And you hate to face this world alone So you're searching for an angel Someone who can make you whole I can not save you I can't even save myself So just save yourself I know that you've been damaged Your soul has suffered such abuse But I am not your savior I am just as fucked as you I am just as fucked as you I can not save you I can't even save myself So just save yourself Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me My life has been a nightmare My soul is fractured to the bone And if I must be lonely, I think I'd rather be alone I think I'd rather be alone You can not save me You can't even save yourself I can not save you I can't even save myself Save yourself So just save yourself Stabbing Westward, "Save Yourself" Good advice, and a great bass riff. Play Really Loud. ;) |
All of mine are from Leonard Cohen. Here's one: you try the handle of the road it opens, do not be afraid it's you my love, you who are the stranger it is you my love, you who ae the stranger Or how about: and just when I was sure that his teaching was pure, he drowned himself in the pool. his body is gone but out here on the lawn his spirit continues to drool ouch. |
"...Can you feel it, see it, hear it today? if you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway you will never understand it cuz it happens too fast and it feels so good, it’s like walking on glass it’s so cool, it’s so hip, it’s alright it’s so groovy, it’s outta sight you can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet but it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet You want it all but you can’t have it. it's crying', bleedin’, lying on the floor so you lay down on it and you do it some more you’ve got to share it, so you dare it then you bare it and you tear it You want it all but you can’t have it. It’s in your face but you can’t grab it It’s alive, afraid, a lie, a sin it’s magic, it’s tragic, it’s a loss, it’s a win it's dark, it’s moist, it’s a bitter pain it’s sad it happened and it’s a shame You want it all but you can’t have it. It’s in your face but you can’t grab it What is it? It’s it What is it?..." FAITH NO MORE, EPIC. N |
"...The word was comin’ down, down on Lonely Street. That the bad man was a dead man if he crossed my trail. Every night I’d walk up and down this Lonely Street. I get stinkin’ drunk, and always in jail. One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler, he was caught on the street makin’ some old whore. I remember he was quite proud of that,,,So half-crazed I shot him, And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor..." KANSAS, "Lonely Street"- Song for America |
