Van Halen - Best of Both Worlds.



"Well, there's a picture in a gallery
Fallen angel, looked a lot like you
We forget where we come from sometimes
I had a dream it was really you"

He used to say soulshine

It's better than sunshine

Damn sure better than rain

Not that it's my favorite but, it's been stuck in my head all day.

Snake Farm – it just sounds nasty
Snake Farm – well it pretty much is
Snake Farm – it's a reptile house
Snake Farm – Uuuggghhhhh...

It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford.

Slowin' down to take a look at me.

The (now) Bald Eagles Take it Easy

"And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"

One of my favorite by John Prine and Iris Dement

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go

John Prine was truly one of the greats! It was sad to see him go.
He does a good rendition of Blaze Foley's "Clay Pigeons"

Favorite line, " and get along with it all"

Another vote for John Prine.

There's a hole in Daddy's arm where the money goes. Sam Sloan.

Hello in there-Prine

"You know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder every day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."

So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."

Hey OffRoadrolls...

That song makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up...that harmonica solo is straight from the heavens....

That man and his band were legendary...

One of the best there ever was...

Thanks for chiming in...

Here's another and it's full of great lines like....

This old porch is like a steaming plate of greasy enchiladas

''Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder''

Nightwish. Wish I had an angel.

Cold hearted orb rules the night
removes the colours from our sight

Red is grey and yellow white
but we decide which is right
and which is...an illusion..

moody blues

Silent night Holy night
All is calm All is bright

Perfect timing Bob
I remember singing Silent Night in the pre-school choir and wondering why anyone would want to sleep heavenly peas. Eating them was bad enough!

The Story
"Silent Night" is about a calm and bright silent night, and the wonder of a tender and mild newborn child, words written in 1816 by a young priest in Austria, Joseph Mohr, not long after the Napoleonic wars had taken their toll.
