Ken Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Bobby Bare Numbers I was sittin' in a Friday's suckin' on a glass of wine When in walked this chick who almost struck me blind Had wet blue eyes and her legs were long and fine On a scale of one to ten, I'd give her a nine. Now on my scale there ain't no ten's, you know Nine's just as far as any chick can go So I flashed her a smile, but she didn't even look at me So for brains and good judgement, I'd give her a three. I said, "Hey sweet thing, you look like a possible eight You and me could, uh, make eighteen, if your head's on straight." She looked up and down my perfect frame And said these words that burned into my perfect brain. She said, well, another one of those macho-matician men Kind who grade all women on scales of one to ten And, you give me an eight?, well, that's a generous thing to do Now, let's just see, just how much I give you. She said "you comin' on to me with that phony numbers jive Your style makes me smile, I give it a five When you walked up I noticed that suit of yours It's last year's double-knit frayed-cuffs, give it a four. That must be your car parked out on the curb That sixty-nine homemade convertible, a three and a third Now, as for your build, I guess your less than five Except, for your pot belly, I'd give that a ten for size. That wine you're pourin' might be fine to you But I'm used to fine champagne, I give it a two It's hard to tell what your flashin' smile is worth I give it a six, you could use some dental work. But, It's your struttin' rooster act that really makes me laugh It may be a ten to these country hens, but to me a three and a half And there really ain't much to add once the subtractin's done Since there ain't no zeroes, I give you a one!." She walked out, while up and down the line The whole bar was laughin', said' Bare, what happened to your nine? Nine says I, hell soon as she started to talk I knew She didn't have no class, I barely gave her a two. Spoken: Yeah! No matter how good they look at first There's flaws in all of them That's why on a scale of ten to one, friend There ain't no ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 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...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sometimes It Snows in April Prince Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war, Just after I’d wiped away his last tear I guess he’s better off than he was before, A whole lot better off than the fools he left here I used 2 cry 4 tracy because he was my only friend Those kind of cars don’t pass u every day I used 2 cry 4 tracy because I wanted to see him again, But sometimes sometimes life ain’t always the way... Sometimes it snows in april Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad Sometimes I wish life was never ending, And all good things, they say, never last Springtime was always my favorite time of year, A time 4 lovers holding hands in the rain Now springtime only reminds me of tracy’s tears Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain He used 2 say so strong unafraid to die Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized No, staring at his picture I realized No one could cry the way my tracy cried Sometimes it snows in april Sometimes I feel so bad Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending, And all good things, they say, never last I often dream of heaven and I know that tracy’s there I know that he has found another friend Maybe he’s found the answer 2 all the april snow Maybe one day I’ll see my tracy again Sometimes it snows in april Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad Sometimes I wish that life was never ending, But all good things, they say, never last All good things that say, never last And love, it isn’t love until it’s past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 "Kid A" (the album) isn't good because of it's lyrics, but because of the music listen to "OK Computer" instead Subterranean Homesick Alien ~ Radiohead The breath of the morning I keep forgetting The smell of the warm summer air I live in a town Where you can't smell a thing You watch your feet For cracks in the pavement Up above Aliens hover Making home movies For the folks back home Of all these weird creatures Who lock up their spirits Drill holes in themselves And live for their secrets They're all uptight Uptight.. (x7) I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane Late at night when I'm driving Take me on board their beautiful ship Show me the world as I'd love to see it I'd tell all my friends But they'd never believe They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely I'd show them the stars And the meaning of life They'd shut me away But I'd be all right All right..
