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 |

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 |
"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... |
"...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! |
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 ;-). |
2channel8, Great song! Check out Roy Buchanan's version. It is fantastic. https://youtu.be/Vq1sm_6Whro N |
My last post to this thread was 14 years ago. Figured it was time to add another. Was listening to The Rainmakers - "The Good News and the Bad News" album tonight and I really enjoy the song "We Walk the Levee". Not many songs out there about long going family feuds. I like this one and here's the hook...... The mud and the guilt and the gun get heavy, We do what we gotta. We walk the levee. |
If you are the tabloid Caught up in this typhoid of cuckoo Still hoarding the butter In the mountains of muttering Voodoo Spreading this gospile According to hostile Well fuck you... fuck you You deserted the spirit forever... sheep Fuck you... for good Why don't you fuck off With your certified culture Whimping away to some Pasturised future Killing the airwaves Gannets for guano Shit for propaganda Radio dumbo |

Oh God, can you feel the sun in your back Oh God, can you see your shadow, inky black on the sand Oh God, can you hear the saltwater drying on your skin Oh God, can you feel my heart beating in my tongue Oh God, by being quiet, I hope to alleviate my debt Oh God, by sitting still, I hope to lighten your load And when your shadow covers me from head to toe And curtonevrae flies tell me it’s my time to go Seven waves of insects make babies in my skin Seven waves of insects make families in my skin It’s just like animals at play And the flesh rotted off my skull And then I will have earned my permanent smile Oh God, I never, never ask why Oh God, I never, never ask why "Permanent Smile" Bill Callahan/Smog (04/03/2000) |
