Everytime you go away - Hall and Oates

Babe if we can't solve any problems
Why do we loose so many tears
Whoa, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same things
But can't you see we've got everything
Going on and on and on

And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you you

Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move
But doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on singing the same theme
'Cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby even though you know

That everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Just don't care girl
Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you you

'Cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know
That everytime you go away
(Everytime you go away)
(Everytime you go away)

Why you have to go away right now
(Everytime you go away)
(Everytime you go away)
Go on and go away girl
(Everytime you go away)
I don't understand why you gotta go girl
(Everytime you go away)

Go on and go free even though you mean so much to me
(Everytime you go away)
I don't understand baby
(Everytime you go away)
Oh baby, baby, baby everytime you go
(Everytime you go away)
You don't know, you don't know
Beause you never understand girl
(Everytime you go away)

Why you have to go away right now
(Everytime you go away)
Everytime you go girl
(Everytime you go away)
Go on, go on and go free
(Everytime you go away)
Baby you mean so much to me
I'll never understand why you gotta go girl
(Everytime you go away)

I don't understand girl
(Everytime you go away)
I don't know go, I don't know go
I don't know go, I don't know go
I don't know go, I don't know go
(Everytime you go away)
Go girl, go girl, gotta go girl, you won babe
(Everytime you go away)
Baby, baby, baby
(Everytime you go away)

Hall and Oates


Not my favourite one by them, but good nonetheless

Hall and Oates


Not my favourite one by them, but good nonetheless
- Eggshmeg

That song has bittersweet memories... It was out when Pelle Lindbergh was killed in that tragic car accident in '86; because of it being on the air often at that time, everytime I hear it, I think of him and that sad time.

Hall and Oates is of course a local Philly duo, with that 'Blue Eyed Soul' sound... They had many great ones and, while this might not be their best, it is one that I'll always remember fondly.

It's been a while since I posted a Billy Joel song... so I thought that I might be able to get away with one here:



We Didn‚t Start The Fire - Billy Joel


Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnny Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio

Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe

Rosenbergs, H Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye

Eisenhower, Vaccine, England's got a new queen
Maciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Joseph Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev
Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc

Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, Dancron
Dien Bien Phu Falls, Rock Around the Clock

Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland

Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Khrushchev
Princess Grace, Peyton Place, Trouble in the Suez

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Little Rock, Pasternak, Mickey Mantle, Kerouac
Sputnik, Chou En-Lai, Bridge On The River Kwai

Lebanon, Charles de Gaulle, California baseball
Starkwether, Homicide, Children of Thalidomide
Buddy Holly, Ben Hur, Space Monkey, Mafia
Hula Hoops, Castro, Edsel is a no-go

U2, Syngman Rhee, payola and Kennedy
Chubby Checker, Psycho, Belgians in the Congo

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Hemingway, Eichman, Stranger in a Strange Land
Dylan, Berlin, Bay of Pigs invasion

Lawrence of Arabia, British Beatlemania
Ole Miss, John Glenn, Liston beats Patterson

Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British Politician sex
J.F.K. blown away, what else do I have to say

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Birth control, Ho Chi Minh, Richard Nixon back again
Moonshot, Woodstock, Watergate, punk rock
Begin, Reagan, Palestine, Terror on the airline
Ayatollah's in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan

Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide
Foreign debts, homeless Vets, AIDS, Crack, Bernie Goetz
Hypodermics on the shores, China's under martial law
Rock and Roller cola wars, I can't take it anymore

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

CHORUS:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

CHORUS

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

CHORUS

The eye of the tiger...



do not like green day's version



a shaggy mashup of it

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

....................................................

do not like green day's version

....................................................

- tessie

Survivor version =
... When hearing it I can actually see Rocky training on the bags.

Green Day =
... Much like the Hendrix version of 'The Star Spangled Banner'; two pitchers of strong ales does wonders for the enjoyment of it.

EDIT:
Shaggy =
... One pitcher and a party atmosphere would allow me to really get into it... once I got past the rap part and into the good Shaggy stuff, that is.

I know no one will like this song except maybe nightmare3020 so..

Slipknot- (sic)

Enemy - Show me what you wanna be
I can handle anything
Even if I can't handle you
Readily - Either way it better be
Don't you f***in' pity me
Get up, get off...
What the h*** am I sayin'?
I don't know about malevolent
Sure as h*** decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls! Let me fall! F*** you all!
Get a grip, don't let me slip 'til I drop the ball

I - I want it all!
F*** this s***, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!

Who the f*** am I to criticize your twisted state of mind?
You're leavin' me suspect, I'm leavin' you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn
Cause and effect, you jealous a**
Press your face against the glass - suffer

I want it all!
F*** this s***, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!
I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get mine

You can't kill me
Cuz I'm already inside you

Sick
Sick

Speaking of Hendrix, here's my all time favorite by him. His bluesy stuff was the best.


Red House
Jimi Hendrix
There’s a Red House over yonder
That’s where my baby stays
There’s a Red House over yonder, baby
That’s where my baby stays

Well, I ain’t been home to see my baby,
in ninety nine and one half days.
'Bout time I see her,
Wait a minute something’s wrong here
The key won’t unlock the door.

Wait a minute something’s wrong baby,
Lord, have mercy, this key won’t unlock this door,
something’s goin’ on here.
I have a bad bad feeling
that my baby don’t live here no more.

That’s all right, I still got my guitar
Look out now...

I might as well go on back down
go back 'cross yonder over the hill
I might as well go back over yonder
way back over yonder 'cross the hill,
That’s where I came from.

‘Cause if my baby don’t love me no more,
I know her sister will

Speaking of Hendrix, here's my all time favorite by him. His bluesy stuff was the best.

this should help make you feel better while you are singing the blues of recovery and too much work to catch up on !

Route 66 - Chuck Berry

Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way thats the highway thats the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it goes from St Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
Youll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona dont forget Winona
Kingsman, Barstaw, San Bernadino

Would you get hip to this kindly trip
And go take that California trip
Get your kick on Route 66
Well it goes from St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
Youll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona dont forget Winona
Kingsman, Barstaw, San Bernadino

Would you get hip to this kindly trip
And go take that California trip
Get your kick on Route 66
Get your kick on Route 66?

Everytime you go away - Hall and Oates

Why do we loose so many tears
Whoa, so you go again

Always the same things
But can't you see we've got everything
Going on and on and on

And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you you

Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move

I can't go on singing the same theme

That everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Okay... that may have been the version that was on the radio a lot when Pelle died, I'm not sure of it either way... Obviously they both released it... and they are so simular, and it was 20 years ago.

I like them both.

Maybe I'll Catch Fire



This house is full of ears,
but I can't talk to anyone.
They've heard this one a thousand times.
most exciting thing I do,
hang half way out a third floor window,

Maybe throw lit cigarettes down.
and maybe I'll catch fire. something warm to hold me,
something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind.
all that evil poop's not hard to find.
I guess I only claim to be nice.

This house is full of eyes,
but I can't look at anyone.
they've seen this face a thousand times.
most relaxing thing I do,
hang half way out a third floor window,

And look at rocks if I fall out.
and maybe I'll fall hard.
something tough to break me,
something sharp to rip into my insides and bleed out all that pain.

Sorry I don't even know your name.
I guess for me it's easy this way.
maybe I'll catch fire.
something warm to hold me,
something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind.

All that evil poop's not hard to find.
I guess I only claim to be nice.

Rehab - Sittin in a Bar

Bar tender I really did it this time
Broke my parole to have a good time
When I got home it was 6 a.m.
The door was locked so I kicked it in
She was trippin' on the bills
I think she was high on some pills
She through my sh!t out into the yard
Called me a bum and smacked me real hard
And in my drunkin' stooper
I did what I should of never done
Now I'm sittin' here talking to you
Drunk and on the run

I'm sittin' at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the outside
She broke my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the keys to her fin' car
Crashed that piece of sh!t and then stepped away

You know mo I'll probably get ten years
So just give me beers til they get here
Yeah I know the sun is comin' up
And ya'll are probably gettin' ready for closin' up
But I'm trying to drown my soul
I'm tired of this life on a dirt road
And everythang that I love is gone
And I'm tired of hangin' on

She got me sittin' at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the outside
She broke my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the keys to her fin' car
Crashed that piece of poop and then stepped away

I guess it's meant to be
Romance is misery
So much for memories
And now I'm headed to the Penitentary
See me on T.V.
The next cop series
I am a danger
I guess I shoul've done something about my anger
But I'll never learn
Real things I don't concern
I poor kerosene on everything I love and watch it burn
I know it's my fault
But I wasn't happy it was over
She through a fit so I crashed that piece a sh!t nova

And now I'm goin' back again
Back to the pin to see my friends
And when we all pile out that county van
They'll ask me where I've been

I've been at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the outside
She broke my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the keys to her f'in' car
Crashed that piece of sh!t and then stepped away

Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs

LI'L RED RIDING HOOD

Owoooooooo!
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Listen to me.

Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone.
Owoooooooo!

What big eyes you have,
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.

What full lips you have.
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone.
Owoooooooo!

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't.
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side.
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place.

Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want.
Owoooooooo! I mean baaaaaa! Baaa?



and .. Bowling for Soup

I was a BudGirl this year at the Superbowl .. the Bears didn't win .. but i thought I'd post this tribute to the '85 Bears .. (they didn't sign Flutie til '86)




(CHORUS)
We're the Bears Shufflin' Crew.
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you.
We're so bad we know we're good.
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff for everyone.
We're not here to start no trouble.
We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Well, they call me Sweetness,
and I like to dance.
Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance
We've had the goal since training camp
To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ.
And we're not doing this because we're greedy.
The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy.
We didn't come here to look for trouble,
We just came here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle.

This is Speedy Willie, and I'm world class.
I like runnin', but I love to get the pass.
I practice all day and dance all night,
I got to get ready for the Sunday fight.
Now I'm smooth as a chocolate swirl,
I dance a little funky, so watch me girl.
There's no one here that does it like me,
My Superbowl Shuffle will set you free.

I'm Samurai Mike. I stop 'em cold.
Part of the defense, big and bold.
I've been jammin' for quite a while,
Doin' what's right and settin' the style.
Give me a chance , I'll rock you good,
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood.
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came to do the Superbowl Shuffle.

(CHORUS)
I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon.
When I hit the turf, I've got no plan.
I just throw my body all over the field.
I can't dance, but, I can throw the pill.
I motivate the cats, I like to tease.
I play so cool, I aim to please.
That's why you all got here on the double,
To catch me doin' the Superbowl Shuffle.

I'm mama's boy Otis, one of a kind.
The ladies all love me
For my body and my mind.
I'm slick on the floor as I can be.
But ain't no sucker gonna get past me.
Some guys are jealous
Of my style and class.
That's why some end up on their (bleep).
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just get down to the Superbowl Shuffle.

They say Jimbo is our man.
If he can't do it, I sure can.
This is Steve, and it's no wonder.
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder.
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas.
This is for Mike and Papa Bear Halas.
I'm not here to feather this ruffle,
I just came here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle.

I'm L.A. Mike and I play it cool.
They don't sneak by me 'cause I'm no fool.
I fly on the field and get on down.
Everybody knows I don't mess around.
I can break 'em, shake 'em,
Any time of day.
I like to steal it and make 'em pay.
So please don't try to beat my hustle,
'Cause I'm just here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle.

(CHORUS)
The sackman's comin', I'm your man Dent.
If the quarterback's slow,
He's gonna get bent.
We stop the run, we stop the pass.
I like to dump guys on their (bleep).
We love to play for the world's best fans.
You better start makin'
Your Superbowl plans.
But don't get ready or go to any trouble,
Unless you practice
The Superbowl Shuffle.

It's Gary here, I'm Mr. Clean.
They call me "hit man"
Don't know what they mean.
They throw it long and watch me run.
I'm on my man, one on one.
Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone.
That's why they call us the 46 zone.
Come on everybody, let's scream and yell.
We're goin' to do the Shuffle,
Then ring your bell.

You're lookin' at the Fridge,
I'm the rookie.
I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.
You've seen me hit, you've seen me run.
When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun.
I can dance, you will see.
The others, they all learn from me.
I don't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle!

(CHORUS)

Priceless... thanks for that... as well as all the work it took for the presentation.

... With all the E-A-G-L-E-S on the local radio with the start of camp, the timing could not be better.

I like this better by B. B. King, but another great version is:

Stormy Monday
Allman Brothers
They call it stormy monday
But tuesday’s just as bad.
They call it stormy monday
But tuesday’s just as bad.
Lord, and wednesday’s worse
And thursday’s all so sad.

The eagle flies on friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church,
Gonna kneel down and pray.

Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Though I’m tryin’ and tryin’ to find my baby,
Won’t someone please send her home to me.

I like this better by B. B. King, but another great version is:

Disturbed/Genesis - "Land of Confusion"

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night.

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh Superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.

Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.





Both versions are very good

Lydia, the Tattooed Lady Groucho marx


My life was wrapped around the circus. Her name was Lydia.
I met her at the world's fair in 1900, marked down from
1940. Ah, Lydia.

She was the most glorious creature
Under the su-un.
Guiess. DuBarry. Garbo.
Rolled into one.

Oooooooh
Lydia oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia,
Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
And a torso even more so.

Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia,
Oh Lydia the Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is the Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it the wreck of the Hespherous, too.
And proudly above waves the Red, White, and Blue,
You can learn a lot from Lydia.

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world,
If you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paris,
Or Washington crossing the Delaware.

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

Oh Lydia oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia,
Oh Lydia the Tattooed Lady
When her muscles start relaxing,
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson

Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia,
oh Lydia the queen of them all!
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,
With a view of Niagara that nobody has.
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia.

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

Come along and see Buff'lo Bill with his lasso.
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso.
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.
Here's Godiva but with her pajamas on.

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

Here is Grover Whalen unveilin' the Trilon.
Over on the West Coast we have Treaure Island.
Here's Najinsky a-doin' the rumba.
Here's her social security numba.

(whistles)

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia that encyclopedia,
Oh Lydia the champ of them all.
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet.
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet,
For he went and married Lydia.

I said Lydia (He said Lydia)
I said Lydia (We said Lydia)

La La!

You know what's funny about that, FF? I was thinking of doing the same song.
