Music lyric quote for the day

[moslowjj]

Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs



Eicay varé, eisé nardé
Can you dig it, yes I can
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday


Another day in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Another day in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing his guitar
And singing for us all

Will you help him change the world
Can you dig it, yes I can
And I've been waiting such a long time
For today

Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children all is not lost
All is not lost, oh no, no



Funny days in the park
And every day's the Fourth of July
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration
Waiting for us all

If we want it, really want it
Can you dig it, yes I can
And I've been waiting such a long time
For the day

 

[CALizzz]

CAN YOU DIG IT? YES I CAN!


Speaking of the 4th of July....

She's waiting for me
when I get home from work,
oh but things just aint the same
She turns out the lights and crys in the dark
and she wont answer when I call her name

On the stairs I smoke a ciggerate alone-
Mexican kids are shootin fire-works below

And hey baby it's the FOURTH OF JULY
hey baby it's the foruth of July

Whatever happened I appolgize,
dry your tears and baby, walk out side
IT'S THE FOURTH OF JULY

Neal Young wrote this after 4 students were MURDERD at Kent State in what Shoud have been a peacful protest....

"Ohio"

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

COMES A TIME


From day to day
just letting it ride
you get so far away
from how it feels inside
You can't let go
cause you're afraid to fall
till the day may come
when you can't feel at all

Now I'm falling into your eye's
They're two glittering stones in sidewalk snow
And about a 1000 miles deep.
It seems I can't keep my mind on what you just said
Stairing straight ahead, so help me god,
Though your lips didn't move, they told nothing but the truth.

And I wanna be like you -
Crawl into your skin, feel your clothes from the inside
But then you'll think that I'm a FREAK
You'll push back your chair say "I'm going out for air"
And then you'll just leave,
And I don't want you to leave

Forever For You

I have to hear the music with this one.. IT GAVE ME CHILLS. I had a stalker that left me notes simalar to this years ago. She was a real freaky gal. She took me being nice as I was her boy friend and the freaky part was she was my girl friends friend...........until I showed her the notes....Wow poopski hit the fan but she would'nt stop until I had a cop friend have a talk with her.
But anyway I will check it out Miss lyrics cause you hav'nt steered me wrong yet........

 

[CALizzz]

Oh nothing to do with stalking. You need to hear it!! I just posted one part.

John wrote this shortly after 9/11... He says part of his inspiration was the tragedy, and love and then as John is want to be a smart ass, he says and the rest of the song just falls apart!

The chorus goes--- Were not united, but we stand for each other-
When the whole worlds let us down, no red white and blue, no more undergroud standing up for you.... Forever for you...

Totally well written. And John has SUCH a great voice, it's really a sweet song!

I need to send you a couple CD's with some of my favorite bands and songs. Probably 2 cd's worth and you can tell me what ya like!!

Old 97's just released a new cd called BLAME IT ON GRAVITY, thats on my list to buy. And Dead Rock West's cd. Murry Hamond of the Old 97's has a solo release. I had the chance to talk with him during the vid. shoot and I have all kinds of respect and admiration for him. Oh and D.J. Bonebrake- the drummer from X released a solo cd- The Bonebrake Cyncopaters. He truly is amazing on the drums and well respected by those who've heard and know him, and he's been married to Diane or Dinky for 20 years, she's a brillant painter!

Your in my blood like
Holy wine. You taste so bitter,
Bitter and soo sweet-

Oh I could drink a Case Of You darlin'
And still I'd be on my feet, I would still be on my feet.


Joni Mitchell

A CASE OF YOU

DANI CALIFORNIA- Chilli Peppers

This is an ode to L.A... Local boys done good! IMO. I saw them 25 years ago, the band X always brought out new bands, they still do. The boys barely knew how to play!! It was like- ok, lets go to the beer garden!!


Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin; baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded, she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew that others died to prove
Too true to say good bye to you
Too true to say say say..

Push the fader gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunning for the border

Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast..

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release,
California show your teeth,
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release,
California show your teeth,
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

ugly OMG where did you find that morning shot of me???

 

[CALizzz]

I'm posting this song in celebration of my trip. A trip to the lake with a few bands playing and camping out over night!

THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED


There's mosquitoes on the river Fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now,
Too hot to even speak now, Did you hear what I just heard?

Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind
But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now
Listen here it comes again!

There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town
It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands.

Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine,
You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord
The band kept us too busy we forgot about the time.

They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir
People joining hand in hand While the music played the band, Lord
They're setting us on fire.

Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, Greet the mornin' air with song
No ones's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone. Was it ever there at all?
But they keep on dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands

SPOKEN: Yeah, I did. I's standin' over there by the tomaters and here he comes-
runnin' through the pole beans, through the fruits ''n' vegetables, nekked as a
jaybird. 'n' I hollered over t'Ethel, I said "DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!!" 'n' it's too late-
she'd already been INcensed.

(Here he comes)
Looka dat, looka dat
(There he goes)
Looka dat, looka dat
(And he ain't wearin' no clothes)

Whoa, yes they call him The Streak
(Looka dat, looka dat)
Fastest thing on two feet
Looka dat, looka dat
He's just as proud as he can be of his anatomy
He gun give us a peek
Oh, yes they call him The Streak
(Looka dat, looka dat)
He likes to show off his physique
(Looka dat, looka dat)
If there's an audience to be found
He'll be streakin' A-round invitin' public critique

A song about a lucky gambler from Des Moines, The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines to be exact..

The late Grate Charles Mingus wrote the music, Joni Mitchell wrote the lyrics.

I'm down to a roll of dimes
I'm stalking the slot that's hot
I keep hearing bells all around me
Jingling in the lucky jackpots
They keep you tantalized
They keep you reaching for your wallet
Here in fools' paradise!

I talked to a cat from Des Moines
He said he ran a cleaning plant
That cat was clanking with coin
Well, he must have had a genie in a lamp
'Cause every time--I dropped a dime--I blew it
He kept ringing bells
Nothing to it!

He got three oranges
Three lemons
Three cherries
Three plums
I'm losing my taste for fruit
Watching the dry cleaner do it
Like Midas in a polyester suit
It's all luck!
It's just luck!
You get a little lucky and you make a little money!

I followed him down the strip
He picked out a booth at Circus Circus
Where the cowgirls fill the room
With their big balloons
The Cleaner was pitching with purpose!
He had Dinos and Pooh Bears
And lions--pink and blue there
He couldn't lose there!

Des Moines was stacking the chips
Raking off the tables
Ringing the bandit's bells
This is a story that's a drag to tell
(In some ways)
Since I lost every dime
I laid on the line
But the cleaner from Des Moines
Could put a coin
In the door of a John
And get twenty for one
It's just luck!
