Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals.
I get my back into my living.
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right.
I don't need to be forgiven.

I wanna tell you all a story 'bout
A Harper Valley widowed wife
Who had a teenage daughter
Who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well, her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
And she said, "mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA"...

 

[playtime]

I am a man of constant sorrow,
I've seen trouble all of my days;
I'll bid farewell to old Kentucky,
The place where I was born and raised.

Oh, six long year I've been blind, friends.
My pleasures here on earth are done,
In this world I have to ramble,
For I have no parents to help me now....

 

[Rawley]

Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

I thought love was only true in fairy tales.

Hi everybody
I'm Archie Bell of the Drells
Of Houston, Texas
We don't only sing but we dance
Just as good as we walk
In Houston we just started a new dance
Called the Tighten Up
This is the music
We tighten up with

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one, its the loneliest number since the number one

 

[leftwinger]

All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

Snow, cement and ivory young towers
Someone called us Babylon
Those hungry hunters
Tracking down the hours

But where were all your shoulders when we cried
Were the darlings on the sideline
Dreaming up such cherished lies
To whisper in your ear before you die
It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Abel
Have a ball y'all

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

Ha! It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony

If the rain comes
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes - If the rain comes
When the sun shines
They slip into the shade (when the sun shines down)
And sip their lemonade (when the sun shines down)
When the sun shines - When the sun shines
Rain
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine..............................

"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical"

The Logical Song - Supertramp

People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warnin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Powers keep on lyin', yeah
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long ~ Oh, no........................

 

[playtime]

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest...........


they STILL sounded perfect.

 

[Alan Stallion]

I woke up this morning
With a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again
This happens all the time
It's detachable


Detachable Penis - King Missile

"Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way..."
