    NitrOx is compressed air for diving with elevated levels of oxygen. The air we breathe now is comprised of 21% oxygen, 79% nitrogen, and a few trace gasses. With Nitrox, the o2 is elevated up to but not exceeding 40% and allows you to stay deeper, longer. Life is too short to waste it on drugs.....

    *Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    I know I don't get there often enough

    But God knows I surely try

    It's a magic kind of medicine

    That no doctor could prescribe

    I used to rule my world from a pay phone

    Ships out on the sea

    But now times are rough

    And I got too much stuff

    Can't explain likes of me

    Chorus:

    But there's this one particular harbour

    So far but yet so near

    Where I see the days as they fade away

    And finally disappear

    But now I think about the good times

    Down in the Caribbean sunshine

    In my younger days I was so bad

    Laughin' about all the fun we had

    I seen enough to feel the world spin

    Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins

    Listen to the drummers and the night sounds

    Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

    (pan solo)

    *Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Lakes below the mountain

    Flow into the sea

    Like oils applied to canvas

    They permeate through me

    And there's that one particular harbour

    Sheltered from the wind

    Where the children play on the shore each day

    And all are safe within

    Most mysterious calling harbour

    So far but yet so near

    I can see the day when my hair's full gray

    And I finally disappear

    *Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua)

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua)

    E mea arofa teie ao nei, hey now, hey now, hey now

    Ia ora te natura

    E mea arofa teie ao nei

    Ua pau te maitai no te fenua [bounty of the land is exhausted]

    Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie [but there?s still abundance in the

    sea]

    Ua pau te maitai no te fenua

    Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie

    *Language is Tahitian

    'tis aggravating, though, regardless of when it started. It teaches kids how to spell words incorrectly, and that's why we have such stellar comments left for our Songfacts.

    I can hardly wait until little Johnny grows up and tries to become an attorney, and can't write but for the shorthand he uses in his text messages.

    That's the most intelligent thing I've read all week. Don't challenge the students, lower the standards!

    Pour Me Another Tequila, Sheila

    Bobby Bare

    Pour me another Tequila Sheila,

    Take off that red satin dress

    I crossed the border and I beat the dealer

    For all the damn gold in Juarez.

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila

    and I got the Pesos to spend

    So pour me another Tequilla Sheila

    And lay down n'love me again.

    I can't tell you about it

    But don't mind my gun by the bed

    I feel kind of naked without it

    And it eases the fear in my head.

    Just pass me the salt n'the lemon

    Then bend down n'blow out the light

    I never have trusted a woman

    But Sheila I trust you tonight.

    So you can pour me another Tequila, Sheila

    Take off that red satin dress

    I crossed the border and I beat the dealer

    For all the damn gold in Juarez.

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila

    I got Pesos to spend

    So pour me another Tequilla Sheila,

    And lay down n'love me again..

    Sheila I'm hearin' your heartbeat

    But I'm hearing footsteps outside

    The courtyard is crawling with them Federales

    And Sheila there ain't no place to hide.

    Now, I don't know who could have tipped them

    'Cause nobody knew it but you

    And I can't make love to a squealer, Sheiler so I guess there's just one thing to do.

    Pour me another Tequila Sheila.

    I'm gonna put on your red satin dress, you put on my clothes

    You go out and face the dealer

    And Sheila, I wish you the best.

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila

    I need a fast horse and a friend

    So pour me another Tequila Sheila

    And I'll ride towards the border again...
