Speaking in Lyrics

[Iowan]

How big a mess today?
Ask Bob and he'll say:
"She's a big one and she's gonna be a lotta"

[cortez the killer]

She ain't exactly pretty
She ain't exactly small
Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six
You could say she's got it all

[Iowan]

Well I guess I might have known from the start
She’d come for a star
Might have told my imagination not to run too far
Of all the times that I’ve been burned
By now you’d think I’d have learned
That it’s who you look like
Not who you are

[John A Arkansawyer]

There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red neck, white socks, and blue-ribbon beer

[bovine knievel]

last night I slept with my boots on again

[Iowan]

if there's one thing I can't take
it's the sound that a woman makes
about 5 seconds after her heart begins to break
that's one thing I can't take

[bovine knievel]

I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

[Smitty]

if there's one thing I can't take
it's the sound that a woman makes
about 5 seconds after her heart begins to break
that's one thing I can't take

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it


trying to say I dig that lyric while still speaking in lyrics, if that makes sense, and that's all i could think of

[cortez the killer]

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke...

[bovine knievel]

But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

[Penny Lane]

Walking down Main Street
getting to know the concrete
Looking for a purpose
from a neon sign
I would meet you anywhere
the western sun meets the air
We'll hit the road
never looking behind

[bovine knievel]

I’ve had strychnine, I thought I was dead
I snorted my father and I’m still alive
I did because that’s how it is done
I’m the same as everyone, just kinda lucky

[bovine knievel]

When I was just a little bitty kid I remembered one time Mama said
Daddy sends you all his love from Frisco Bay
I didn’t understand till I was grown
why my Daddy didn’t spend a little time at home
Instead of runnin’ around the country that way
Now I’m looking at the world through a windshield
And see everything in a little bit different light
I got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in Nashville
And I’m down around Dallas and a’rollin’ on fast tonight
Long strips of rubber that you see
Were burned off of this rig by the likes of me
And they’ll ride along the highways in this land
I’m gonna sign my name in this diesel smoke
And let the ones that come behind me choke
Now I’m looking at the world through a windshield
Watchin’ it a flyin’ by me at the right
I got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in Nashville
And I’m down around Dallas and a’rollin’ on fast tonight
I’ve pushed this rig through sleet and rain
And I’ve driven through the rough terrain
Of the Rockies to the docks of old L.A.
On down that old Pacific shore, sing north and headin’ for Baltimore
Of somethin’ ‘bout two thousand miles away
Now I’m looking at the world through a windshield
Watchin’ it a flyin’ by me at the right
I got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in Nashville
And I’m down around Dallas and a’rollin’ on fast tonight

Son Volt trifecta

[one belt loop]

You're my favorite mista-eyake

[Clams]

But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

good one!

(happy now Cortez?)

[cortez the killer]

Dogs that lick
And dogs that bite
Hounds that howl
Through the night

[Duke Silver]

the wolves howl all night long
they won't stop and they won't go home
beneath my window they run
and probably it'll be alright
keep everything locked up tight
and wait till daylight comes

did i do this right?

[one belt loop]

Eat my plants and steal my things
You're the head of security

[one belt loop]

There are ghosts in here
They are stuck in the middle
Midnight rattling chains
Just like fireworks
Heading straight for the heavens
But explode on the way

Wake up, sweetheart, rise and shine
There are bones to bury and bones to find
This place is coming to life

[one belt loop]

Gimme back my dog
Gimme back my dog
Gimme back my dog
Gimme back my dog

[one belt loop]

Bruno's mom has got it goin' on








we have a lot of doggy songs we sing around my house

[bovine knievel]

gimme back my bullets

[bovine knievel]

Well, I used to wake the mornin'
Before the rooster crowed
Searchin' for soda bottles
To get myself some dough
Brought 'em down to the corner
Down to the country store
Cash 'em in, and give my money
To a man named Curtis Loew

[Penny Lane]

Bruno's mom has got it goin' on








we have a lot of doggy songs we sing around my house

[Penny Lane]

I stand accused just like you
For being born without a silver spoon
Stood at the top of a hill
Over my town I was found
I've been on the shelf too long
Sitting at home in my bed too long
Got my things and now I'm gone
How's the world gonna from take me?

[beantownbubba]

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord don't they help themselves, y'all
but when the tax man comes to the door
Lord their house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, no, it aint me
I aint no millionaire's son
It ain't me, no it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one...

[beantownbubba]

The silver spoon's in the mouth
Baby clothes are baby-blue
Nothing's ever handed down
Everything's brand new
Newspaper notices heralding that great event
Daddy's buddies send the flowers
Mother's friends have baby showers
Welcoming that Heaven sent
That first born son is always the one
The first to be called and the last to come
He's his mother's favorite, his grandmother's too
He'll break their hearts and he'll break yours too
For he's the first to creep and the first to crawl
The first to walk and the first to fall
Every bruise is kissed, every cry is heard
Every doubt's cast out with a soothing word
'Cause he's that first born son, he's that special one
No matter what comes next, no matter what comes along
Be it another boy or a sweet baby girl
The family's the oyster and he is the pearl

[Slipkid42]

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

[Slipkid42]

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.

[bovine knievel]

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon,
Underneath that sky of blue.
All be drinkin' free bubble-up,
An' eatin' that rainbow stew.












sticking with the silver spoon theme
