Song(s) of the Day

[1hooper]

You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place.
You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place.
People say they hate you, try to kill you, while they're grinning in your face.
You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place.
Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one.
Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one.
You gotta do the right things, gotta jump on in and see that it gets done.
Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.
He's not playing games; he's taking names; he is bullet proof.
Everything's gonna change, everything but the truth.

[PonyGirlJCM]

[1hooper]

You are a man without truth
A man of greed, a man of hate
A man of envy and doubt
You're a man without a soul
All the money in the world
Will never fill that hole
You're a man bought and sold
You're a man without a soul
You bring nothing good to this world
Beyond a web of cheating and stealing
You hide behind your wall of lies
But it's coming down, yeah, it's coming down

The World Is Changing Hands

Dave Davies

There is a war going on,
A Spiritual change,
There is a world going wrong,
Don't ya want to run away and hide,
And it seems so hard.
We're on a psychic battlefield,
Fighting for our souls,
To make us free,
You and me.
[Chorus]
The world is changing hands,
There will be a bright tomorrow,
The world is in our hands,
We are Spirit,
We are free.
[Repeat]
There is a world going on,
And it won't go away,
There is a love going on,
That's stronger than all these silly words
I say,
Yes it's true.
Think of the most selfless thing to be,
Send it,
To the whole humanity,
You and me.
[Chorus]
The world is changing hands,
There will be a bright tomorrow,
The world is in our hands,
We are Spirit,
We are free.
[Repeat]

[1hooper]

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

We took each day and made it shine.......

Nobody Gives Lyrics
Sung by The Tramp

I can't understand why everybody's quarreling
Nobody gives in case they lose face
And everybody's guilty and everybody's innocent
And the fact of it is nobody gives any more

It's the same throughout all history
Nobody gives unless they receive
And nobody trusts or is willing to believe
And nobody gives or is willing to concede
Back in nineteen hundred and twenty-five
There were thousands of people struggling to survive
There was hunger, unemployment and poverty
Then in 1926 they decided to be free
So they all went on strike and
The workers told the unions, who blamed it on the government
The politicians blamed it on the strikers and the militants
Every one is guilty and everybody's innocent
But the fact of it is nobody gives any more

Back in nineteen hundred and thirty-nine
There were scores of German military waiting in a line
And the Fatherland wanted what the world wouldn't give
And then Hitler decided he could take what was his
So they all went to war and said
Kill all the left-wing intellectuals
Annihilate the Jews and wipe out their race
Eliminate the weak because they're ineffectual
And the fact of it is nobody gives any more

I'm only sitting here watching it all go on
And listening to both sides
Yeah, why can't we talk it out
Why can't we sort it out
We'll work it out if we try
Why can't we sit down and work out a compromise
Why not negotiate and try to be civilised?
I'll tell you why, because nobody gives a damn
Nobody listens and no one will understand
Yet I'm wondering, sitting here wondering
And listening to both sides
Why can't we work it out?
Why can't we sort it out?
We'll work it out if we try
Why can't we sit down and work out a compromise
Why not negotiate and try to be civilised?
I'll tell you why, because nobody gives a damn
Nobody listens and no one will understand
Yet, I'm wondering, sitting here wondering
Yet I'm wondering, sitting here wondering
Listening to both sides
Nobody gives, nobody gives, nobody gives.

The workers told the unions who blamed it on the government
The politicians blamed it on the strikers and the militants
Everybody's guilty and everybody's innocent

Nobody gives. Nobody gives a damn any more
The politicians, unions, workers and the militants
The fact of it is nobody gives any more.

[1hooper]

The reasons why
Oh, I can't say
I have to let you go, baby
And run away
After what you did
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone

[ziggy]

(1976)
Something's wrong from the moon, my friends
Something's wrong from the moon
As I look down at you my friends
Something's wrong from the moon
Poor little man
You been run down
Poor little man
You're all run down
I can see right through your eyes
I can see right through your weary eyes
I can hear right through your cries
I can hear right through your drunken cries
When they spit, do you wash their floors
And pray that they don't spit no more
Or, rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on
In the dark you cannot see
In the dark the victory is fear
Like a fool you follow fools
Like a fool you follow what you hear
Will they blow us all apart
Or kill us all with virus darts
Or, rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on
On the moon they're laughing hard
On the moon they're falling off their seats
From the moon we're comedy
From the moon we're really quite a treat
Shall we have another beer
And slobber through another year
Or rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on
Rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up
Something's wrong from the moon my friend
Something's wrong from the moon
As I look down at you my friends
Something's wrong from the moon

Two members barefoot. About 1/3 of the last 20 shows that I've seen somebody has been barefoot.... Julie slick 3x's (Adrian Belew's Power Trio)

[1hooper]

Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Cause you know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie take me down
Cause I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
You can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on your Kentucky derby days
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
With another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie take me down
Cause I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
Send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

[1hooper]

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

[1hooper]

Here they come again, mhm
Catch us if you can, mhm
Time to get a move on, mhm
We will yell with all of our might
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Now we gotta run, mhm
No more time for fun, mhm
When we're getting angry, mhm
We will yell with all of our might

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away

[spiderjohn]

very entertaining movie

Waiting for the hurricane
To hit New York City
Somebody said it's hit the bay
This is the nitty gritty
And all the bag ladies
Better put their acts together
We're near the eye of the storm
This is really heavy weather
We were lost and found, in the nick of time
While the ship was going down
We were lost and found, just in time
With the hurricane crossing the coast line
We were lost and found, just in time
Oh
This thing is bigger than the both of us
It's gonna put us in our place
We were lost and found, just in time
Now we've got no time to waste
They're putting up the barricades
Because the hurricane is heading up this way
So won't you come in from the cold and the pouring rain
And the old see dog says shiver me timbers
The sky's gone black
And it's like the dead of winter
We were lost and found in the pouring rain
When the hurricane swept across the coast line
This thing is bigger than the both of us
It's gonna put us in our place
We're gonna see what really matters
When you see that storm stare us in the face
We were lost and found
And we beat the fear
We came through the storm
Now it all seems clear
We were lost and found, standing here
Looking at the new frontier
Lost and found, just in time
With the hurricane crossing the coast line
Lost and found, just in time
With the hurricane crossing the coast line

[1hooper]

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?

[1hooper]

Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must've thought you'd always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found

[1hooper]

Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge

[1hooper]

Dry your eyes, my little friend
Let me take you by the hand
Freddie, get ready, rock steady
When Johnny strikes up the band

[1hooper]

Good cover of an old Shirelles song.

Covering Aretha.

[1hooper]

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there's no England now (there's no England now)
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
All the lies of the people running round
Their castles have burned
I see change
But inside we're the same
As we ever were

[1hooper]
