Not Dark Yet - Bob Dylan
"Not Dark Yet"
Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.
Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin' what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.
Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.
I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.The Wind Cries Mary - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Angels Rejoiced Last Night - The Louvin Brothers

Never Go Walking Without Your Hat Pin was written by Forman Brown (aka Richard Meeker) for Elsa Lanchester while he help run the Turnabout Theatre - http://dbase1.lapl.org/turnabout/page_8.html from 1941 - 1956.
Elsa Lanchester http://www.panicresearch.com/elsa_lanchester.html performed there for 12 years.
She first recorded the song in a 1957 album called "Songs In A Smoke-Filled Room". I couldn't find any sheet music for the song.

Besides the usual suspects of the rock photography world (which we will probably get to later) Herb Greene's photos one day during Led Zeppelin's first U.S.Tour back in 1969 are really unique.
Norman Seeff has many different 1960's, 70's... rock photos.

Ten reasons only 2 Songfactors participated in the last Top Ten List game.
10. All other songfactors were hungover for the past month.
9. Probably because there are alot better places to eat than McDonald's.
8. I felt compelled to complete it, so I participated.
7. Canadians are always polite & lovable so McDonald's didn't run that campaign here in fear of going bankrupt.
6. The others were too busy standing in line at McDonalds
5. I prefer the In N Out burger.
4. I never post anything on Songfacts as I'm new here.
3. Sometimes I get writer's block.

Short Fat Fannie (1957) - Larry Williams
Tired of slippin' and slidin' with a long tall Sally
Peekin' and a hidin', duckin' back in the alley
Don't wanna rip it up, don't wanna dance with Annie
I've got a brand new lover name is Short Fat Fannie
One day while I was visit'n at Heartbreak Hotel
That's where I met Fannie and she sure looked swell
I told her that I loved her I'd never leave
She put her arms around me, gave me fever
She's my tutti fruiti, I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's
She might step on my blue suede shoes
Well at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight
'Cause I was dancin' with Marylou
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue
Short Fat Fannie she's my hearts desire
Short Fat Fannie sets my soul on fire
On Monday we were married on Blueberry Hill
Now we're so happy and I love her still
[instrumental Interlude]
She's my feedback tutti fruiti and I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's
She might step on my blue suede shoes
Well at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight
'Cause I was dancin' with Marylou
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue
Short Fat Fannie is my hearts desire
Got the kind of lovin' sets my soul on fire
Short Fat Fannie well I love her so
I'll never let Short Fat Fannie go

Anywhere I Lay My Head - Tom Waits
"Anywhere I Lay My Head"
My heart is in my shoes
I went and set the Thames on fire
Now I must come back down
She's laughing in her sleeve at me
I can feel it in my bones
But anywhere I'm gonna
Lay my head, boys
I'm will call my home
Well I see that
The world is upside down
My pockets were filled up with gold
Now the clouds have covered o'er
And the wind is blowing cold
I don't need anybody
Because I learned to be alone
And anywhere
I lay my head, boys
I will call my home
