MR. WILLIAMS
Is so cool and has
amazing fashion sense
Broke-Down Palace - The
Grateful
Dead
Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true
one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Goin to leave this Broke-down
Palace
On my hands and my knees I
will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the
waterside In my time - in
my time - I will roll roll roll
In a bed, in a bed by the
waterside I will lay my
head
Listen to the river sing sweet
songs to rock my soul
River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all
the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby sung
many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds
I've come since I first left
home
Goin’ home, goin’ home by
the waterside
I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet
songs to rock my soul
Goin’ to plant a weeping
willow
On the banks green edge it
will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the
Tonight - Elton John
Tonight
Do we have to fight again
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
Turn out the light
But you want to carry grudges
Nine times out of ten
I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling
Tonight
Does it have to be the old thing
Tonight
It's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're
after
I'd like to find a compromise
And place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears
can't hear
And i cannot find the time
Tonight
Just let the curtains close in
silence
Tonight
Why not approach with less
defiance
The man who'd love to see
you smile
Who'd love to see you smile
Tonight
Piano Man - Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to
me
Making love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son can you play me a
memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's
clothes"
Sing us a song you're the piano
man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a
melody
And you've got us feeling alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of
mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to
light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd
rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is
killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a
movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy,
who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life.
Lose Yourself - Eminem
His palms are sweaty, knees
weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater
already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface
he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on
forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole
crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the
words won't come out
He's chokin’, how everybody's
chokin’ now
The clock's run out, time's up
over, bloah!
Snap back to reality,
Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up
that easy
No, he won't have it , he knows
his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile
home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap city
He better go capture this moment
and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the
music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it
go
You only get one shot, do not
miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a
lifetime.
Holiday - Green Day
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an
Armageddon flame (Hey!)
Ashamed
The ones who die without a name
Hear the dogs howlin' out of key
To a hymn called
Faith and Misery (Hey!)
And plead, the company lost the
war today
I beg to dream and differ from the
hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of
our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of
time
Another protestor has crossed the
line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the
other side
Can I get another Amen
(Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around
the score of men (Hey!)
A gag,
A plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from
the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest
of our lives
On holiday.
The Thunder Rolls - Garth Brooks
Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost
town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from
somewhere
That he never should have
been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
Come
Together
The
Beatles
Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joojoo eyeballs
He want holy rollers
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know
me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me
He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is
three
Got to be good looking 'cause
he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me
