Here's another great song. All of you older cats should remember this one. And remember...Tony Joe White did it best!

POLK SALAD ANNIE
Tony Joe White
(words & music by Tony Joe White)

(Recitation)

If some of ya'll never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this, so that you'll understand
What I'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the
woods and the fields,
looks somethin' like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it Polk salad. Polk salad.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
she'd go out in the evenings and pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat,
But they did all right.

Down in Louisiana Where the alligators grow so mean
There lived a girl that I swear to the world Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad Annie polk salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang
(a mean, vicious woman)

Everyday 'fore supper time She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess o' Polk salad And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her mama was aworkin' on the chain-gang
(a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
Lord have mercy. Pick a mess of it)

Her daddy was lazy and no count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her mama was a working' on the chain gang
(Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a mess of it)

Our Day Will Come
Ruby & The Romantics

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know (young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me.

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us -
Think love and wear a smile.


Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.
(Our day will come; our day will come.)

[break]

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
Our day will come.
Our day will come.

Blessed Assurance- Fanny Crosby


Fanny Crosby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.
(Refrain)

Evening On The Ground: Iron & Wine
Evening, evening on the ground
And there is no one else around
So you will blame me
Blame me for the rocks
And baby bones and broken lock
On the garden
Garden wall of eden
For the spider bites
And all your love as we were
We were born to fuck each other
One way or another
But Ill only lie
Down by the waterside at night

Hey man, tiny baby tears
I will collect a million years
And you can blame me
Blame me, I will wear it
In the empty, hollow part of my garden
Garden wall of eden
And the clamour as they raise the curtain
You will, you will never make me learn
To lay beneath the mountain
Cause I'll only lie
Down by the waterside at night


This song is brilliant, it has at least three parallell meanings. On the surface it's obviously about the bible story of Lilith. As the story goes Lilith refused to be submissive to Adam and refused to only have sex in the missionary position. Her defiance angered Adam and God, so Eve was created. God sent 3 angels after Lilith, claiming that if she did not comply they would hunt and kill all of her Lilin children. Lilith didnt' bend, and countered that she would hunt down the children of Adam and Eve. Lilith took the blame for the death of infants, and also was often blamed for man's "never ending desire to fuck." If you go a little bit deeper you will see that Lilith is a symbol for female strength and equality. Deeper yet, the song is about standing up for what you believe is right, regardless of how you will be judged for it. This is apparent in the lines: " And you can blame me. Blame me, I will wear it." Again, just a great song. Not one word is wasted.

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
'Til he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes

Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades
And how did I ever fade
Into this life
Into this life

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes

Ane I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find my ground
'Cause I keep on falling as
I try to get away from this crazy world

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Till he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes

February Song. Music by Josh Groban and Marius de Vries. Lyrics by Josh Groban and John Ondrasik.

Carly Simon sings a reworked version of this song on her recent "Into White" CD. She now sings that she loves Mia Farrow instead of Woody Alan and leaves out some of the other verses.

Carly Simon - Love Of My Life Lyrics



I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks
And Woody Allen and walking in the snow
But you've got to know that

You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life

I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread
The Statue Of Liberty and standing ovations
And falling into bed
But get it through your head that

You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life

You can drive me crazy
You can drive me anywhere
Here are the keys
Just do as you please
It may not always be easy

But you're the love of my life
My heart is riding on a runaway train
You are the love of my life
through all the pleasure and pain
From the moment I first saw you
I knew it right away
I knew that you were the love of my life
Simply the love of my life
You are the love
The great love of my life.

Love Can Build A Bridge- Wynonna and Naomi Judd

YouTube - Love Can Build A Bridge Wynonna And Naomi The Judds




I'd gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
Of bread I had to eat
I would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinkin'
Let me show you what love means

(Chorus)

Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?

I would whisper love so loudly
Every heart could understand
That love and only love
Can join the tribes of man
I would give my heart's desire
So that you might see
The first step is to realize
That it all begins with you and me

(Repeat Chorus)

When we stand together
It's our finest hour
We can do anything, anything
Keep believin' in the power

(Repeat Chorus)

Love and only love
Love and only love

YouTube - Plain White Ts - Hey There Delilah - Official (HQ)

"Hey There Delilah"

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

YouTube - Johnny Cash - Hurt

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

YouTube - "Days Go by"- Dirty Vegas

You
You

You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin

You leave me when I'm at my worst
Feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you
Without you

You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin

You leave me when I'm at my worst
Feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you
Without you

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

FANTASY ISLAND – M PEOPLE

Gather round people, I just dreamt of this song
about all the world getting along.
Human rights - no shallow graves
politicians speak the truth, no one's got Aids.
I look at a Muslim embracing a Jew –
everyone's eating everyone's food.
Free from diseases, ain't no Third World
love is the message, love is the word.

Chorus (x2)
This is my island island,
my fantasy my fantasy,
my fantasy fantasy.

There's a welcome mat at the centre of the earth.
No sign of hate - a four-letter word.
The children are playing in air you can breathe
people got dreams, people achieve.
Everywhere's music, sunshine and laughter
we still feel the same the morning after.
Words in the air, love in the heart.
This is my dream, a brand new start.

Chorus (x2)

This is my fantasy (x8)
Believe in me baby.

Say what have we got? oh
We got the power we got the power.
Got sixty seconds oh, got every hour every hour.
Say what have we got? oh
We got the power we got the power.
We are the spark oh to light the fire light the fire.
Got one blood, got one skin
got one soul deep within.
Got a heart beating fast
got a dream - got no past. (x2)

Say what have we got?

This is my, this is my, this is my fantasy. (x2)

Chorus (x2)

This is my fantasy (x8)

Citizen Cope: Sideways

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
These feelings won't go away
It ain't easy
For these thoughts that she leave me
there's no words to describe it in french or in english
Diamonds they fade
flowers they bloom
I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knocking me sideways
They been knocking me out babe
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away

Eternal Flame -The Bangles

YouTube - The Bangles Eternal Flame

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
do you feel my heart beating, do you understand
do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
is this burning an eternal flame.

I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me
do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
or is this burning an eternal flame.

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
a whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling.

Close your eyes, give me your hand
do you feel my heart beating, do you understand
do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
is this burning an eternal flame ...

I heard k.d. lang's version of The Air That I Breathe yesterday.
basketbulge, I LOVE that cover! It's on her "Drag" CD; on the same CD, "Your Smoke Screen" and "My Old Addiction" are incredible. "Hymns of the 49th Parallel" is my favorite of her CDs, though.

Fallen, by Ron Sexsmith

The leaves have lost hold of the branches as always
Which leaves us with gold and win colored pathways
In the same way I've,
In the same way I've fallen for you

You opened your arms like a school door to summer days
And opened my heart to the rumors of a higher place
And where was I
Baby I've fallen for you

Love is always on the go
It never stays in one place
Day by day it changes and it grows
But you always recognize its face

Day by day it changes and it grows
But you always recognize its face

The leaves have lost hold of the branches as always
Which leaves us with gold and wine colored pathways
In the same way I've,
In the same way I've fallen for you

Like a star in the night
Baby I've fallen for you

Bart Simpson, as Mozart, writes a new opera, "The Musical Fruit". This aria is sung to the same melody as the first movement of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik:

Beans, oh beans, delicious in your mouth!
But watch out when beans come out down south.

"Tooting," some call it "pooting"
It's air polluting, the gas comes shooting
Right from your butt-butt-bu-u-u-tt, butt-butt-bu-u-u-tt, butt-butt-bu-u-u-tt, butt!

YouTube - Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileenhttp://www.lyrics007.com/print.php?id=TVRNNU1qa3k

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono.
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them.
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever.
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
and we can sing just like our fathers.

Come on Eileen,
I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything,
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen.

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces they're so resigned to what their fate is,
But not us, no not us we are far too young and clever.
Remember Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever.

Come on Eileen, I swear, well he means
Ah come on let's take off everything,
That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please.
