"You see the world through your cynical eyes


you're a troubled man I can tell


you've got it all in the palm of your hand


but your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest.. "

"Watch closely now - are you watching me now?


your eyes are like fingers


They're touching my body and arousing my soul


Ridin' the passion arisin' inside me


How high can I go?.."

Kris Kristofferson (what ever happened to that guy?)

And yet letting our grown-up pride

Hide all the need inside

The Hooters?  (I never heard of them.  Were you a groupie, Barry?)


A local band from San Fran, though I did not grow up with them.  It would have been a blast if I had.  LOL


"Well I was drinkin' last night with a biker

And I showed him a picture of you

I said, "Pal get to know her, you'll like her

Seemed like the least I could do.

Cause when he's chargin' his chopper

Up and down your carpeted halls

You will think I am dressed up quite proper

Never mind how I stumble and fall...."

The Grateful Dead


 



But, look at all those idiots,
ooh, look at all those boobs.
An office full of morons,
A factory fulll of fools.
Is it any wonder that I'm singing,
Singing the blu-u-ues.

( You are correct, Enabler! Not so much a groupie, we followed a lot of really good bands at really good bars and we did it a lot! Yee Haw... )


The Simpsons


Through all of my life

In spite of all the pain

You know people are funny sometimes

'cos they just can't wait

To get hurt again

Yes


There is nothing fair in this world


There is nothing safe in this world


And there's nothing sure in this world


And there's nothing pure in this world


Look for something left in this world...


(Take your pick, but I prefer the first version.)

Genesis


"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,

"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.

Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,

None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

The Doors


 


Got a barrel by the face should the order release

Should the bullet in your pocket turn away and retreat

See the terror in the eye of a bloodshot child

Only bubble in his belly and the promise of lies

Operation, liberation, tell me, you can decide

Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud,

So good you can't believe it screaming with the crowd,

Don't sweat it, get it back to you,

Overkill, Overkill, Overkill

Paul Simon (Bridge Over Troubled Water)


The reason why, Oh I can say

I have to let you go , and right away

After what you did, I can't stay on

And I'll probably feel a whole lot better

When you're gone


(I can still hear this one in my head.  Ahhhhhh.....)

Hey mama, mama, come a look at sister,

She’s a-standing on the levee trying to do that twist,

But easy rider don’t you deny my name,

Oh no, oh no.
