Tenacious_Peaches Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Five Pound Box of Money Pearl Bailey Hey Santa Claus You want to make me happy this year? Listen to me, honey Give Pearl something that would be of some use to me Like a five pound box of money Now there’s a little gift That’s loaded with Lots of sentiment See, when I get blue, Santa I’m gonna think of you But at the same time have a little change to pay my rent Now, money isn’t everything There’s no two ways about it But while we’re here, Santa dear It’s much better with it than without it So really, I could be real good And not do nothin’ funny If you do like I ask you Stop by right on Christmas night And try me, try me, try me on that money Just try me, honey Santa, can you hear me? Have you listened to everything I’ve been asking you about? Listen honey, Santa dear, The New Year would be so bright and sunny Just bring me that simple thing that I’ve been speaking to you about And bring me a five pound box of money That’s all, that’s all It would be so heavenly And help me meet both ends, yes indeed But old Pearl been needin’ bad A five pound box of tens Really, how much could that weigh? I don’t want the whole money tree What good is that big thing to me? You keep the branches, the trunk, and the roots ‘Cause all I want is just a little bit of the fruit So if you wanna be sure I’ll be yours Little old honey, honey bunny You can start me off on Christmas night With a five pound – no, I better increase that, ten pounds No, I better beg big while I’m beggin’ ‘Cause you know, I might not catch you next year ‘Cause sometimes people go out and you don’t see them no more So bring the money Santa!

TheLizard Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 "Thunder Road"- Bruce Springsteen The screen door slams Mary's dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside Darling you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me You can hide 'neath your covers And study your pain Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a savior to rise from these streets Well now I'm no hero That's understood All the redemption I can offer girl Is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now Except roll down the window And let the wind blow back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks Oh oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road Oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back If you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely For words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone On the wind, so Mary climb in It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win File that under "songs I wish I wrote".

Farin Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 It's Like That ~ Run D.M.C Unemployment at a record highs People coming, people going, people born to die Don't ask me, because I don't know why But it's like that, and that's the way it is People in the world tryin to make ends meet You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet I said you got to work hard, you want to compete It's like that, and that's the way it is Huh! Money is the key to end all your woes Your ups, your downs, your highs and your lows Won't you tell me the last time that love bought you clothes? It's like that, and that's the way it is Bills rise higher every day We receive much lower pay I'd rather stay young, go out and play It's like that, and that's the way it is Huh! Wars going on across the sea Street soldiers killing the elderly Whatever happened to unity? It's like that, and that's the way it is Disillusion is the word That's used by me when I'm not heard I just go through life with my glasses blurred It's like that, and that's the way it is Huh! You can see a lot in this lifespan Like a bum eating out of a garbage can You noticed one time he was your man It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is You should have gone to school, you could've learned a trade But you laid in the bed where the bums have laid Now all the time you're crying that you're underpaid It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is Huh! One thing I know is that life is short So listen up homeboy, give this a thought The next time someone's teaching why don't you get taught? It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is If you really think about it times aren't that bad The one that flexes with successes will make you glad Stop playing start praying, you won't be sad It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is Huh! When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts For a meaning in life is why you search Take the bus or the train, drive to school or the church It's like that, and that's the way it is Here's another point in life you should not miss Do not be a fool who's prejudiced Because we're all written down on the same list It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is Huh! You know it's like that, and that's the way it is Because it's like that, and that's the way it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 It's fastly approaching 4:30pm here on the East Coast, nearly time for me to bug on out of here. So, I'll leave you all with this one-hit wonder from that Minnesota-based punk trio, Semisonic. From 1998, this is.... "CLOSING TIME" "Closing time Open all the doors and let you out into the world Closing time Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl Closing time One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer Closing time You don't have to go home but you can't stay here I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Closing time Time for you to go out to the places you will be from Closing time This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits I hope you have found a friend Closing time Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 "Bob Dylan´s Dream" - Bob Dylan, yes... While riding on a train goin' west, I fell asleep for to take my rest. I dreamed a dream that made me sad, Concerning myself and the first few friends I had. With half-damp eyes I stared to the room Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon, Where we together weathered many a storm, Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn. By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung, Our words were told, our songs were sung, Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside. With haunted hearts through the heat and cold, We never thought we could ever get old. We thought we could sit forever in fun But our chances really was a million to one. As easy it was to tell black from white, It was all that easy to tell wrong from right. And our choices were few and the thought never hit That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split. How many a year has passed and gone, And many a gamble has been lost and won, And many a road taken by many a friend, And each one I've never seen again. I wish, I wish, I wish in vain, That we could sit simply in that room again. Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat, I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that. Yes, it´s raining today, and I got e-mails from my friends from school and... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Who Knew - Pink You took my hand, you showed me how You promised me you'd be around Uh huh that's right I took your words and I believed In everything you said to me Yah huh that's right If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out 'Cause they're all wrong I know better 'Cause you said forever And ever....who knew? Remember when we were such fools And so convinced and just too cool Oh no no no I wish I could touch you again I wish I could still call you friend I'd give anything When someone said count your blessings now 'Fore they're long gone I guess I just didn't know how I was all wrong But they knew better Still you said forever And ever...who knew? I'll keep you locked in my head Until we meet again Until we, until we meet again And I won't forget you my friend What happened? If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out 'Cause they're all wrong That last kiss, I'll cherish Until we meet again And time makes it harder I wish I could remember But I keep your memory You visit me in my sleep My darling Who knew?

Earth-Angel Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 This is the life - Amy Macdonald Oh the wind whistles down The cold dark street tonight And the people they were dancing to the music vibe And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair While the shy tormented youth sit way over there And the songs they get louder Each one better than before And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four So you're sitting there with nothing to do Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad How clearly I first saw you smilin’ in the sun Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I’m so tired but I can’t sleep Standin’ on the edge of something much too deep It’s funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard But I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I’m so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose Clinging to a past that doesn’t let me choose Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Weep not for the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
