We fired our guns but the British kept a-comin'.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began a-runnin',
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldnt go,
they ran so fast that the hounds couldnt catch em, down through Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Lol long since forgotten that one MF. Now i cant get it outta my head!

Battle Of New Orleans was one of my late Dad's favourites. Was over the moon when I found a real audio version of it.

Also :
Where the rivers are winding,
Big nuggets they're finding.
North ... to Alaska,
We're goin' north, the rush is on.

A classic from the great Rose Tattoo

Oh babe is such a tramp
Screamer,creamer a trick in the camp
You're sittin' on the fellas faces
Helpin' 'em live their wildest dreams

The seam in your jeans has disappeared
And i know where it's gone
Screamin' and dyin' deep inside
I know it's gone there alone

I know when your wearin' a dress
You're not wearin' nothin' else
Except that cheeky smile on your face
Momma you got a certain sl*ttish grace

You're such a wh*re but your honesty glows
Like a badge you have won
You worn the boards right into the floor
You've only just begun

You're just a rag, but you're not a bag
Indeed what makes me cry
Three hours later i'm a gammy leg
You're still waitin' my balls are dry

The seam in your jeans has disappeared
And i know where it's gone
Screamin' and dyin' deep inside
I know it's gone there alone

Yes i know, yes i know, yes i know
I know it's gone there alone
Yes i know, yes i know, yes i know
I know it's gone there alone

Momma i'm a down
You got me down
Down on my knees and i'm screamin' and dyin'
Down on my knees you got me screamin' and cryin'

Ooh babe, ooh babe
It ain't easy to take it momma
It ain't easy to take it momma

"TRAMP"-ROSE TATTOO

 

[35eye]

I was walking through the music department of Myers recently with my 8 year old niece. This song started playing so I asked her to stop & have a listen to the lyrics. You should have seen the look of delight on her face as she heard this song for the first time. Now she wants to know if I know any other songs that tell good stories.

The devil went down to Georgia He was looking for a soul to steal
And he was in a bind 'Cause he was way behind
And was willin' to make a deal

When he came upon a boy playing on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said,"Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too,
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you

Now you play a pretty good fiddle boy But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you."

The boy said, "My name's Johnny And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret 'Cause I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips As he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished Johnny said, "Well you're pretty good ol' son!
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done!"

Fire on the mountain, run boys run
Devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chickens in the breadpan, picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat,
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again.
I done told you once, You son-of-a-bitch,
I'm the best that's ever been!"

HEY 35 EYE

A TRUE CLASSIC THAT ONE.

------------------
In'65 tension was running high at my high school,There was a lot of fights between the black and white,There was nothin you could do,Two cars at a light on a saturday night in the back seat there was a gun,words were passed in a shot gun blast,Troubled times had come to my hometown

 

[jod23]

Joffa - what was that song you put down

i've looked at clouds from both sides now
from up and down and still somehow
it's clouds illusions i recall
i really dont know clouds at all

35 Eye same for you too.

Please

 

[sandie]

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed neath the Town Hall light
There were a few at the scene & they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
The Judge said son what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friends wife
She walks these hills in here long black veil
She cries over my grave as the cold winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
The scaffold was high as eternity neared
She stood in the crowd & shed not a tear
But some times at night when the cold winds blow she comes to my grave & cries over my bones.
Only part of the song but brilliant lyrics
by The Band, Bob Dylans backing group
That song still sends shivers down my spine

Rolls and flows of angel hair
ice cream castles in the air

i've looked at clouds that way but now they only block the sun
they rain they snow on everyone
so many things i would've done
but clouds got in my way

i've looked at clouds from both sides now
from up and down and still somehow
it's clouds illusions i recall
i really dont know clouds at all

moons and junes and ferris wheels
the dizzy,dancing way you feel
as every fairy tale comes real
i've looked at love that way
but now it's just another show
leave'em laughing when you go
but if you care,dont let em know
dont give yourself away

tears and fears and feeling proud
say i love you right out loud
dreams and schemes and circus crowds
i've looked at life that way
but now old friends are acting strange
they shake their heads and say i've changed
but something's lost when something's gained
livin everyday

i've looked at life from both sides now
from win and lose and still somehow
it's life's illusions i recall
i really dont know life at all.

no probs jod dude
the song is called .....Both sides now.(joni mitchell)I have a version sung by neil diamond which is so excellent,The tape or CD is called 'RAINBOW'-neil diamond and when you listen to it make sure you let me know what you think ok.



------------------
I get up in the evening and i ain't got nothing to say,I come home in the morning,I go to bed feeling the same way,I ain't nothing but tired,Man i'm just tired and bored with myself,Hey there baby,I could use just a little help.

 

[walshy1993]

left my heart to the sappers round khe sahn
and sold my soul with my ciggarettes to the black market man
had the vietnam cold turkey
from the ocean to the silver city
and its only other vets could understand


well you all know the rest
one of the greatest aussie rock songs ever

 

[Bernie]

OK .. so who's got the words to Ode to Billy Joe or Harper Valley PTA ?

 

[walshy1993]

one of the greatest ever
really brings on the emotions grand final day
obviously not written about footy but we try to claim it anyway


Woke up this morning from the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army the world had ever seen
We were marching as one on the road to the Holy Grail

Started out seeking fortune and glory
It's a short song but it's a hell of a story
When you spend your lifetime trying to get your hands on the Holy Grail

Well have you heard about the Great Crusade?
We ran into millions but nobody got paid
Yeah we raised four corners of the globe
for the Holy Grail

All the locals scattered... they were hiding in the snow
We were so far from home... so how were we to know?
There'd be nothing left to plunder when we stumbled on the Holy Grail

We were so full of beans but we were dying like flies
And those big black birds... they were circling in the sky
And you know what they say, yeah no body deserves to die

Oh but I've been searching for an easy way
To escape the cold light of day
I've been high and I've been low
But I've got nowhere else to go
There's nowhere else to go!

I followed orders, God knows where I've been
But I woke up alone, all my wounds were clean
I'm still here, I'm a fool for the Holy Grail

 

[elt]

From one of Tom Lehrer's many greats, the father of satire....

So long, mom,I'm off to drop the bomb,
So don't wait up for me.
But though I may roam,
I'll come back to my home
Although it may be
A pile of debris.
Remember, mommy,I'm off to get a commie,
So send me a salami
And try to smile somehow.
I'll look for you when the war is over,
An hour and a half from now!

 

[Bee]

These would certainly have to be the worst lyrics I have ever heard.


Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel, ooh, ooh

That fateful night the car was stalled upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe, but you went running back

Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?

What was it you were looking for that took your life that night?
They said they found my high school ring clutched in your fingers tight

Just sweet sixteen, and now you're gone
They've taken you away.
I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today

Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please

 

[Bee]

Bernie, Do you really want the lyrics to Ode to Billy Joe? I've got them if you do.

Just wanna clear up that "Fish Heads" stuff from earlier. I can confirm that the band was Barnes and Barnes. A couple of really sicko guys. One of them is Billy Mumy, who you might recall as the kid from 'Lost in Space' I've got a song of their's called "Three Dead Newts" somewhere on tape.

"Dead Puppies" was by Ogden Edsel. Now, his crowning glory was "Kinko the Clown":


Kinko, Kinko, the kid loving clown
If the kids just love me back I'll never wear a frown.
Kinko, Kinko, the kid loving clown
If the kids just love me back I'll never wear a frown

Kinko's in his Kinko Car, pockets full of change
Lots of dirty pictures and sticky candy canes
All the kids love Kinko for the presents that they get
Silly leather clothes to wear and happy cigarettes

Hi kids, my name's Kinko the Clown, and I really love you boys and girls. Really, reeaaallly. But my legs get tired standing out in the parking lot handing out steel tootsie rolls to you little rugrats. So if anyone wants to come back to Kinko's trailer and massage his legs he'd really really like it. Really reeeaaallly.

(chorus)

We go to Kinko's club house sometimes after school.
We play in Kinko's crawlspace, there's never any rules.
We have to sit on Kinko's lap, there's never any chairs.
Kinko likes to tickle us and give us funny stares.

Oh gosh, I haven't had this much fun since last Christmas when I got to play Santa Claus and all the boys and girls got to sit on Kinko's lap. {child's voice: Mummy, Mummy, Kinko hurt me} Aww, but that was in Indianapolis, and thanks to the liberal reciprocity laws Kinko can be with you boys and girls today or anytime.

Jimmy Johnson ran away and didn't say goodbye
Kinko went to look for him and help the FBI
But Kinko had some handcuffs on, his eyes were full of tears.
Said, I'll be back to play with you sometime in twenty years.

Kinko, Kinko, the kid loving clown
Your parents want to beat me up and run me out of town
Kinko, Kinko, the kid loving clown
Tar and feather Kinko and run him out of town

{policeman's voice: OK short eyes, get in the car} Goodbye boys and girls. See you at the turn of the century cause Kinko really loves you boys and girls. Really reeeaaallly.

Pretty sick stuff, but hilarious. You have to hear it to get the full impact.

Joff - interesting but Neil Diamond aint my kind of music. Not terrible but not great.

I wanna tell you all a story bout a harper valley widow wife
She had a teenage daughter
Who attended harper valley junior high
Well her daughter came home one after noon and didn't even stop to say hi

This is going from memory - so I apologize if this is wrong. This is the first few lines but you have to ask yourself do you really want any more ?

 

[Darky]

I cant get a girl cos I aint got a car
I cant get a car cos I aint got a job
I cant get a job cos I aint got a car
So I'm lookin' for a girl with a job and a car

Don't you know where you are

Lost in America, Lost in America
Lost in America, Lost

I got a mom but I aint got a dad
My dad's got a wife but she aint my mom
Mom's lookin for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad
Is that so bad?

I think I've been had

Lost in America, Lost in America
Lost in America, Lost
Lost in America, Lost in America
Lost in America, Lost

I cant go to school cos I aint got a gun
I aint got a gun cos I aint got a job
I aint got a job cos I can't go to school
So I'm lookin for a girl with a gun and a job
And a big house... with cable!

This is a really great song from a band I used to like before they tried to become Australia's Limp Bizkit :


You want so much for everyone
to like you for who you really are
but you care about it so much
you won't be yourself
but I know you feel so much better
than that and I know you
would not have to let someone else
do this bullshit to you
what I want to know is why you let
those ****ing w***ers talk to you like that

what makes you think they are so kool?

you want so much for everyone
to like you for who you really are
but you care about it so much
you won't be yourself
is it because for them
everything seems to go so well
not like you because you struggle
for everything like hell
let me tell you I respect that
because it's easy when it's easy

what makes you think they are so kool?

-28 Days, Kool.

One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there and she almost knocked me dead

Punk rock girl
Please look at me
Punk rock girl
What do you see?
Let's travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock girl

I tapped her on the shoulder
And said do you have a bell?
She looked at me and smiled and said she did not know

Punk rock girl
Give me a chance
Punk rock girl
Let's go slam dance
We'll dress like Minnie Pearl
Just you and me punk rock girl

We went to the Philly Pizza Company
And ordered some hot tea
The waitress said well no, we only have it iced
So we jumped up on the table and shouted anarchy
And someone played a Beach Boys song on the jukebox
It it was "California Dreamin"
So we started screamin
On such a winter's day

She took me to her parents for a Sunday meal
Her father took one look at me and he began to squeal

Punk rock girl
It makes no sense
Punk rock girl
Your dad is vice president
Just like the Duke of Earl
Yeah you're for me punk rock girl

We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us to a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said "he don't work here"
We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin

We got into her car away we started rollin
I said how much you pay for this
Said nothin man it's stolen

Punk rock girl
You look so wild
Punk rock girl
Let's have a child
We'll name her Minnie Pearl
Just you and me
Eat fudge banana swirl
Just you and me
We'll travel round the world
Just you and me
Punk rock girl ----- Dead Milkmen.

It gets played sometimes on Rage, top little song.
