[Otis]

Nice work Crystal, two of my favourite Grohl numbers!!

ToO, i have to add another Lenny song now from the days he had long hair, bless his drummer, she rocks!

Is There Any Love In Your Heart - Lenny Kravitz

Tell me baby why can't you see that I'm feeling down
If you open your eyes you'd see that I'm wearing a frown
You'd think about yourself if you thought I was dead
Aw yeah

Baby baby you walk around like you own this town
Your whole life is a fantasy and I'm playing the clown
You talk behind my back and spend up all my bread

Is there any love in your heart oo yeah
Is there any love in your heart oo

Babe you say I'm the only one
But you're *smile* all my friends
Baby all that you care about is Gucci and Mercedes Benz
You're just the kind that's up on all the latest trends

Is there any love in your heart oo yeah
Is there any love in your heart oo

 

[TigerNutt]

Doing nicely their guys - Nirvana and one of my favourites Mr. Lenny Kravitz.

Here's another of Lenny's, maybe for a few of those very happy intoxicated Tige Supporters down at Geelong trying to get a lift home ;D

Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't like my kind of (Tiger) skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win
Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to pick me up
Mr. Cab Driver I might need some help
Mr. Cab Driver only thinks about himself
Here we go

Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver

Mr. Cab Driver don't like the way I look
He don't like dreads he thinks we're all crooks
Mr. Cab Driver reads too many story books
Mr. Cab Driver pass me up with eyes of fire
Mr. Cab Driver thinks we're all one sixty five'ers
Mr. Cab Driver *smile* you I'm a survivor
Oh yeah, one more time, ahah

Let me in

Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver

Artist: Elvis Costello Lyrics
Song: Everyday I Write the Book Lyrics

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions

[Chorus:]
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book

Chapter One we didn't really get along
Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six

[chorus]

The way you walk
The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh
In four or five paragraphs
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks

[chorus]

Don't tell me you don't know the difference
Between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel

[chorus]

 

[Michael]

Oti Boy
Love Big in Japan.

You ever heard the story behind the song?

care to share it with us Mick? 8)

I heard that it had something to do with US stars heading over to Japan to flog everything. They'd endorse and promote all types of crap in Japan yet in their own American market they were too precious to dilute their box office value.

 

[Michael]

Great work Skills.

Shipbuilding - Elvis


Is it worth it
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said 'DAD THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ME TO TASK
BUT I'LL BE BACK BY CHRISTMAS'
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result of this shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
WITH ALL THE WILL IN THE WORLD
DIVING FOR DEAR LIFE
WHEN WE COULD BE DIVING FOR PEARLS

Time for some old Aussie Tunes... 8)

1,000 Miles Away Hoodoo Gurus

Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin.
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see.
I can see.

Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep,
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat.
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away.
Thousand miles away.

Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's cracked up to be.
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say ?
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very next day.
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away.

Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to make sense
Out of all those opportunities I've lost from trying to sit on the fence
(Now you're flying) But right now I've got no time for yesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away.
A thousand miles away.

What was that that you were trying to say ?
I guess I was a thousand miles away.
Sing it again.

[Tigers of Old]

She's the One The Cockroaches Wiggles :hihi

They're on the starting line, doves in the air-air
Eyes on a target, enemy everywhere

Down on my courage
Say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah-yeah

Hey let's go, let's go, let's go
Hey let's go, let's go, let's go - Hey let's go, let's go

She's the one, she's the one, she's the one

Lookin' in the mirror, fix my hair right
Here she comes again now, hear the boys sigh
Feel my heart a-thumpin'
Say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah-yeah

Hey let's go, let's go, let's go
Hey let's go, let's go, let's go - Hey let's go, let's go
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one, she's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one

In my dreams I've seen this, maybe a thousand times
In my dreams I've known that
I've gotta make the girl mine, mine, mine, mine
Gotta stop my tremblin', I've gotta do it right
Feel my heart thumpin'
Say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah-yeah

Hey let's go, let's go, let's go
Hey let's go, let's go, let's go - Hey let's go, let's go
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one, she's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one

Hey let's go, let's go, let's go
Hey let's go, let's go, let's go - Hey let's go, let's go
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one, she's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one

Purple Sneakers You Am I

Had a scratch only you could itch
Underneath the Glebe Point Bridge
And now every boy in a knitted vest
Has got some precedent
So we took a personality pill
And something red to swill
And now every fire has gone out
in every heart that wanted to kill
Let's call it a day
Every thought that once had a sound
We'll have to hide 'til no one is around
'cause there ain't no room in the city today
For explanations that you just can't say
Found out what shame can mean
In purple sneakers and grey jeans
And every walked to a school that once made sense
Sure felt like an accident
Let's call it a day

For every trouble you found
There's a drink to lose it and drown
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

Every day that once had a sound
We'll have to hide 'til no one is in town
I don't hate I just feel better
When no one else is around
So we'll take a personality pill
And something red to swill
And now every fire has gone out
in every heart that wanted to kill
Let's call it a day

For every trouble you found
There's a drink to lose it and drown
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

You can shave a million ways
To make damn sure that the twelve in you stays
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

You Sound Like Louis Burdett The Whitlams

Had a little bit to drink.
There's a little thing I want to do out East.
Nothing too emotional, my good miss.
I couldn't be serious in a room full of jack-knfe eyes.
Stop talking 'bout the years- you sound like Louis Burdett.

And we roll on to my backshed, play some poker, scratch my head.
Look at the sky and spot the planes, where would I go on holidays?
Roll with the punches, down the aisles, and down the street the weeks
roll by.

I'm chewing ice and grinning, I'm spewing up and singing.
It's billiousness as usual in my corner of the kitchen.
Hey you, lose that friend before we go anywhere.
What? Someone wmight see you alone?
Stop baggin' out the band, 'cause you sound like Louis Burdett.

All my friends are *smile*-ups but they're fun to have around, banana
chairs out on the concrete,
telling stories to the stars how Geminis love Wooden Dragons, and how
down the street the weeks roll by.

The moment the night wears off, the bombsite reappears.
They're all asleep but the morning tastes like wine,
It tastes like wine in Tempe.
I feel so good I just might wake him up.
Pat him on th bald head- tell me about a dream Louis, something obscene
Louis, your life's an open magazine Louis.

I'm stoned in a bookshop, sober in a nightclub, sex is everywhere but
nowhere 'round me.
By the time she gets to Marrickville we'll be masturbating.
It never rains in Tempe but the planes remind me of family money and the
lack down here.
Stop talking frustrated, 'cause I sound like Louis Burdett

And we roll on to my backshed, play some poker, scratch my head.
Look at the sky and spot the planes, where would I go on holidays?
Roll with the punches, down the aisles, and down the street the weeks
roll by.

All my friends are *smile*-ups but they're fun to have around, banana
chairs out on the concrete,
telling stories to the stars how Geminis love Wooden Dragons, and how
down the street the weeks roll by.

Most of my friends are very fruity indeed, such fun to have around.
Terror, like charity, begins at home.
Chris don't like the madness, but the madness likes him.
He's got a finger in his chest saying how it should have been.

And we roll on to my backshed, play some poker, scratch my head.
Look at the sky and spot the planes, where would I go on holidays?
Roll with the punches, down the aisles, and down the street the weeks
roll by.

My friends are completely *smile*ed but they're such fun to have around.
Banana chairs out on the concrete,
telling stories to the stars how Geminis love Wooden Dragons, and how
down the street the weeks roll by

:upside Must be feeling homesick for some Aussie Tunes in the KK club tonight.

Hotel California The Eagles

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

Feels a bit like PRE some times.... >

Jesus Was Way Cool

Jesus was way cool
Everybody liked Jesus
Everybody wanted to hang out with him
Anything he wanted to do, he did
He turned water into wine,
And if he had wanted to,
He could have turned wheat into marijuana,
Sugar into cocaine,
Or vitamin pills into amphetamines
He walked on the water and swam on the land
He would tell these stories and people would listen
He was really cool
If you were blind, or lame,
You just went up to Jesus*
And he would put his hands on you and you would be healed
That's so cool

He could have played guitar better than Hendrix
He could have told the future
He could have baked the most delicious cake in the world
He could have scored more goals than Wayne Gretsky
He could have danced better than Barishnikof
Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of

Jesus told people to eat his body and drink his blood
That's so cool Jesus was so cool
But then some people got jealous of how cool he was,
So they killed him
But then he rose from the dead!
He rose from the dead,
Danced around and went up to heaven
I mean, that's so cool
Jesus was way cool
No wonder there are so many Christians

Chris Knox, Not Given Lightly
Inspired by 8ace

Hello my friend
Its morning, time to wake now
In body, in mind
Entwined will have to break now
But I need your flesh
Your warmth to stay beside me
Oh how I wish
You could be deep inside me
Show me your eyes
Your low most tender feeling
And Ill give you mine
Be truthful and revealing

And its you that I love
And its true that I love
And its love not given lightly
But I knew that its love
And its you that I love
And its more than what it might be

When were alone
I cannot always face you
Maybe my mood
Wont let these arms embrace you
But that doesnt mean
My loves somehow diminished
Give me the time
To show our loves unfinished

And its you that I love
And its true that I love
And its love not given lightly
But I know that its love
And its you that I love
And its more than what it might be

And every word I say is true

What can I say?
The words destroy all meaning
Theres only cliches
To get across this feeling

This is a love song
For john and (? )s mother
This isnt easy
I might not write another

And its you that I love
And its true that I love
And its love not given lightly
But I knew that its love
And its you that I love
And its more than what it might

 

[Ready]

Whatever happened around here? Time, perhaps, for a singalong classic...

I never thought I'd miss you
Half as much
As I do

And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel
About you

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away

It must be LOVE LOVE LOVE
It must be LOVE LOVE LOVE
Nothing more, nothing less, LOVE is the best...

How can it be that we can
Say so much
Without words?

Bless you and bless me
Bless the bees
And the birds

I've got to be near you
Every night, every day
I couldn't be happy
Any other way

It must be LOVE LOVE LOVE
It must be LOVE LOVE LOVE
Nothing more, nothing less, LOVE is the best...

*

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away

It must be LOVE LOVE LOVE
It must be LOVE LOVE LOVE....

[Rosy]

In my best Jimmy Buffett voice, wearing a loud tropical shirt, sipping a margharita.....

I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night

Chorus:
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places i've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than i can recall

Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

I think about paris when i'm high on red wine
I wish i could jump on a plane
So many nights i just dream of the ocean
God i wish i was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
So i can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And i know that i just can't go wrong

Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If i couldn't laugh i just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

...it may be xmas season but sad songs are for all seasons...He Stopped Loving Her Today, by George Jones


He said "I'll love you till I die",
she told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by,
she still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall,
went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all,
hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red
every single "I love you"

I went to see him just today,
oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away, first time
I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know,
she came to see him one last time.
Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would.
And it kept runnin' through my mind
"this time he's over her for good."

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

 

[Tigers of Old]

Time to get some fun back into the general section.
I'm resurecting one of my alltime favourite theads started by our good friend Dyer'ere after a few beers. 8)

What I Got - Sublime

Early in the mornin'
Risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
Reason things went wrong.
Got to find the reason why my money's all gone.

I got a dalmation
And i can still get high.
I can play the guitar like a mother *smile*ing riot.

Life is too short so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get shot.
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest.
Never start no static I just get it off my (chest).
Take a small example, a tip from me...
Take all of your money and give it up to charity.
Lovin's what I got, it's within my reach
(and the sublime style is still straight from long beach)
It all comes back to you you're going to get what you deserve.
Try and test that, you're bound to get served.
Love's what I got, don't start a riot,
You feel it when the dance gets hot.

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.

Why I don't cry when my dog runs away.
I don't get angry at the bills i have to pay.
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot,
Hits that bottle and goes right to the rock.
*smile*in and fighting, it's all the same.
To live with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane.
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me.

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
