Favorite Song/Lyrics That GET You

[bovine knievel]

If you ever get famous
Don't forget about me
I hope it's everything that you
Thought it would be

If you ever get famous
Don't forget about her
She was there boy before
Anybody cared who you were
You better remember

If you ever get famous
I say a prayer for your heart
You keep your eyes open wide and
Beware the sharks
Cause they come out in the dark

If you ever get famous
Show your face now and then
Cause all our days are so many
Ways in the wind
And we can't get them back again

So many days in the week
Let them roll on by
So many days in the week
Roll on, roll on, roll on
So many days in the week
Let them roll on by

If you ever get famous
In your white limosine
It's a rainy night and your
Headlights hit the water in the streets
And the rain beats down

And keep an eye on the driver
Cause as the highway unwinds,
Boy, the way home fades and can
Be so hard to find
Oh my oh my, oh my

So many days in the week
You keep on running round
So many days in the week
You've been running all your life
So many days in the week
In the hope to fnid what you're looking for
So many days

If you ever get famous
Don't forget about me
I hope it's everything that you
Thought it would be

I dont know how to tell her
That I didnt get that raise in pay today.
And I know how much she wanted the dress
In Macy's window, and it breaks my heart
To see her have to wait
And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate.

But I can count on her to take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life
Has its little ups and downs,
Like ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one grabs the brass ring every time,
But she dont mind.

She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And its mine.

The new house plans we've had so long,
I guess will gather dust another year.
And the daffodils are blooming
that she planted way last fall
Upon the hill, and over by the gate.
Lord knows I hate to say again well have to wait.

But you can bet that she'll just take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life has its little ups and downs,
Like ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one grabs the brass ring every time,
But she dont mind.

She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And I'm so glad that its mine!

She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And I'm so glad that its mine!

If anyone doesnt know about the Silver Fox, look him up (start with his Sun & RCA material)

[Zip City]

Just do your best
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe I don't have to be good, but I can try to be
At least a little better than I've been so far

"I still taste that God-awful perfume you wore" {insert sweet little jam}
Lucero~ Darken My Door

Take my hand, we’ll go slow so don’t you worry, you ain’t gotta hurry
You’ll be safe with me
I hope you understand, sometimes life ain’t like the movies,
So do your best to prove me wrong
If we take our time, and feel each other out right
And make out in this moonlit night
We can just be high, without drinks or pills or powders
And everything that’s louder
Just quietens with your smile

If there’s a million fish that’s in the sea
The same ones keep on catchin’ me
And I wear those rusty hooks in me
Like medals from a war
If a picture’s worth a thousand words
How come I keep burnin’ hers,
And the words she said just echo in my head?

"Prove Me Wrong"~ Doc Dailey
Had to throw the lyrics in besides the vid I put in the other day. like 2 minutes of brutal truth.

[Smitty]

I've been trying to find what's heavy that's been messing up my mind
I think I found the answer, 'cause it was right there all the time

Heavy makes you happy, I just got to say
Put on your heavy, if I can't feel this way

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Come on, come on
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Do it, do it, do it, do it
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)

By talking to my people, you know that it occurred to me
It's more than just a feeling--it must be some kind philoso(g)phy

Heavy makes you happy, drying up your drink
Oh, spread a little heavy and it makes somebody say

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Come on, y'all
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Right on, right on, right on
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
A little bit softer, now
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Oh, do it easy, now
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Lay it on down
(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)

(repeat to fade)


eddie hinton version

[BrittO787]

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.

Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me,
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"Maybe, you didn't know him at all,
you didn't know him at all,
oh, you didn't know"?

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over.

*Special Thanks to 'Smitty' for burning me Jeff Buckley when I was 15.

Overnight bag, he was gone too soon!!!

[Smitty]

Well, daddy joined the Air Force
Said, it was a good source
Danger, love, and money, but it
only led to divorce
Ended up in Abilene
Working at a Dairy Queen
Put me in the Army on the
day that I turned seventeen
Here I am standin’ in the
desert with a gun
Thought of going AWOL but I’m
too afraid to run
So I got myself a new plan
Stealin’ from the Taliban
Make a little money turning
poppies into heroin
Sergeant didn’t like it so they
put me in a hole
I said, “It’s easy shootin’ when they
don’t know where to go.”
Threw me on a lily pad
Sent me home to NORAD.
I knew I’d be in trouble but I
didn’t think it be this bad.

Stranger wearin’ all black
Met me on the tarmac
Told him I was sorry but
I ain’t ever going back
He said, you ain’t in trouble son
Learn to fight without a gun
Got a new assignment now, you’re
working for the Pentagon
Gonna take a trip, wouldn’t
tell me what it’s for
Gotta serve your country, gonna
help us win the war
MIT, Ph.D.’s,
night and day, they’re testing me
Ain’t what I was thinking but I’m
being all that I can be
I ain’t no genius but I
knew it wasn’t right
Eating uppers in the morning
and LSD at night
Send me off to deep space
Help ‘em win the arms race
Ola me, oh mighty, but this
shit has got a funny taste.

I think I hear the countdown
Hundred feet above the ground
Told me when I’m leavin’ but
a’nothing ‘bout a’coming down
Sittin’ on a bad dream
Thousand pounds of gasoline
Ain’t leavin’ nothing but some
rubble and my slipstream
Mama always said, I should be
aimin’ for the moon
Never would’ve guessed that I’d be
passin’ by soon
How the hell’d I get here?
Blastin’ through the atmosphere
Drop the rocket boosters and I’m
shiftin’ into high gear.

Bowie on the system and a
bottle on my knee
Armstrong ain’t got nothing on me
Hey ho, here we go
KMAG YOYO
Someone wanna get me, gotta
come up where the sun don’t go.

I think I see a bright light
Something ‘bout it ain’t right
I laid down in a space ship
Woke up in a fire-fight
Trippin’ from the morphine
Came down in a bad scene
God, don’t let me die here,
I ain’t even 19
I won’t ever ask you, Lord for
anything again
I’ll swear it on the Bible,
Torah or Koran
Lyin’ in a rhino track
‘Bout to have a heart attack
IED got to me,
someone call the Medevac
I need some fixin’ after
where it is I’ve been
Never wanna go and try and
shoot a gun again
Slippin’ out the back door
Gonna join the Peace Corps
Tell me, I’m a hero now, so
Someone else can fight this war.*

[Smitty]

first love feels like the last love in the world
in our hometown sewage ditch I found my punk rock pearl
if you never need a boyfriend again, I’ll always be your girl
when you come dragging in
I’ll just say, Baby how you been

[mhc]

Come down off the cross, we can use the wood

[Tequila Cowboy]

Are you out there
Can you hear me
Can you see me in the dark

I don't believe it's all for nothing
It's not just written in the sand
Sometimes I thought you felt too much
And you crossed into the shadowland

And the river was overflowing
And the sky was fiery red
You gotta play the hand that's dealt ya
That's what the old man always said

Fallen Angel
Casts a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes could see
The spirit of the chosen one

In my dream the pipes were playing
In my dream I lost a friend
Come down Gabriel and blow your horn
'Cause some day we will meet again

Fallen Angel
Casts a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes could see
The spirit of the chosen one

All the tears
All the rage
All the blues in the night
If my eyes could see
You kneeling in the silver light

Fallin', fallin', fallin' down
Fallin', fallin' down
Fallin', fallin', fallin' down
Fallin', fallin' down

Fallen Angel
Casts a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes could see
The spirit of the chosen one

All the tears
All the rage
All the blues in the night
If my eyes could see
You kneeling in the silver light

If you're out there can you touch me
Can you see me I don't know
If you're out there can you reach me
Lay a flower in the snow

You think you know somebody
You think they know you
You think you know somebody
But man you never do

Jackie used to live 3 blocks away from me
We used to throw the baseball
We would climb his old oak tree
We would sneak his old mans ciggarettes out behind the picket fence
Swore that we would always be the best of friends
We used to sit out on the curb and talk on summer nights
Till Jackies daddy called him and Jackie took off like a light

Friday niights were all the same
Our high school senior year
Hung out at by the river
Drank black label beer
We'd listen to the stones with all of our old friends
Maybe sneak a toke or two down where the river bends

I remember how I said one I'd drive him home one Friday night
He said go on without me budy I'll be alright

We went off to college to start our freshman year
I went to college about an hour away from here
But you know Jackie he took off
Went to school out of state

He would call me all the time and tell me it was great
Said I'm coming home for christmas I hope you'll do the same
He said he would but Jackie never came

You think you know somebody
You think that they know you
You think that you know somebody
But man you never know

The night he got married I was his best man
He's moved back to town and were neighbors again
I've since found myself a wife so now I'm married too.
Our families get together every Sunday afternoon
His boy and my boy they sit out and talk at night
Till Jackie calls for his boy and he takes off like a light

Last night I saw the flashing lights
I quickly ran outside
Neighbor lady told me that Jackies youngets boy had died
I was shocked to see the cops had Jackie handcuffed in the car
Till the mornings paper told me that Jackied gone too far
And now their saying Jackie, he ain't the only one to blame
Cause battered children almost always grow up to do the same

You think you know somebody
You think they know you
You think you know somebody
But man you never do.

^^^ heartbreaking. One of my fav Todd songs.

[njMark]

I really really love this song and at the same time really have a hard time listening to it.only been able to find one youtube clip of him playing it, never played it the few times I've seen him. But its a downer and maybe wouldn't fit a setlist well.

[Smitty]

The way I treated you so cruel,
The way I ran around and played you for a fool,
The way I chose to set you free,
Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.

The way I ran you deep in debt,
The anniversaries and birthdays I'd forget,
The way I'd always disagree,
Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.

Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.
Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.

The way I always doubted you,
Dreams we shared that I never made come true,
The way I wrecked your LTD,
Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.

The way I laid your sister Pam,
The way I never bought you earrings down at Sam's,
Leave the seat up when I'd pee,
Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.

Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.
Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.
Makes you wanna grudge fuck me.
