I'd like to post the lyrics to one of my favorite instrumentals, Arlo's "Week On The Rag:"


Thank you for your attention.

" Here comes the sun (Du du du du)
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun (Du du du du)
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Here comes the sun (Du du du du)
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right..."

"Well you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back.
Why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone?
Well there's a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and beaten down
Livin' in the hopeless hungry side of town.
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime.
He's there 'cause he's a victim of the times.
I wear the black for those who never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
About the road to happiness through love and charity.
Why, you'd think He's talkin' straight to you and me.
Well we're doin' mighty fine I do suppose,
In our streak-a-lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones that are held back,
Up front there ought to be a Man In Black.
I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold.
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been.
Each week we lose 100 fine young men.
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
Believin' that the Lord was on their side.
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
Believin' that we all were on their side.
Well there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But till we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.
Oh I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back.
Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

--Johnny Cash

"Man In Black"

Rock 'n Roll Suicide
~David Bowie~

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
They're so natural - religiously unkind
Oh no love! you're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on and be not alone
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful
Oh gimme your hands.

*NOWHERE MAN*

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me

Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what your missin
Nowhere man, the world
Is at your command

BEATLES

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinkin of things that I was doing
Tryin to make the best of my time

But Only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start

I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see
If he can come out
Try and loose the down that
He's found

But Only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start

NEIL Y.*

INC Reprise

Don't know much about history
Don't know much about geology
Don't know much about the French I took
Don't know much about a science book

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you loved me to
What a wonderfull world it would be.

You, you, send me, darling you send me
Darling, you, send me, honest you do
honest you do, whoa-whoa

At first I thought it was my imagination
For me, it lasted so long, so long,
Now I find myself loving you
Wanting to marry you and take you home

*Sam Cooke*

Why don't you love me like you used to do
Why do you treat me like a worn out shoe
My hairs still curley and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do

Aint had no lovin, and a kissin, and a huggin
in a long, long time
Can't get closer nearer, than a county mile

Why don't you love me like you used to do
Say all the things that you used to coo
My hairs still curley and my eyes are still blue
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Hank Williams Sr....

My fishin pole is broke, the creek is full of sand
My woman ran away with another man

No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

My distant cousin passed away
and left me quite a batch
****** ******* 8********
Proves I wasn't born, I was only hatched

Ever since she left me I'm so gone-done blue
There really isn't nothing left to do
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive...

H. W. Sr....

stipe:

Now I'm not feeding off you
I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can
Marching to the ocean marching to the sea
Had a hat, it sank, I reached down
Pulled it up, and slapped it on my head

All the people gathered
I experience their burden
We are young despite the years
We are concerned
We are hope despite the times
Oh, oh, sun out on these days
Happy throngs take this joy
Wherever, wherever you go

stipe end

NOWHERE MAN... Cool song. Takes me back to age 6 & bugging my cousin to play his Beatle records...

For Joe Bloggs - It's called Ohio Breeze, but it's about a trip to the Starlake Amphitheatre.

It’s just the sky and you & I
And our two best friends
450 miles of freedom
And nine more hours till it ends
A taste of what life will be like
Just maybe from the other side
But right here and right now
It’s just the sky and you & I

Time brings change
But life breathes love
This you will find
If you look hard enough
With my short time that I have here
I will make that clear.

Anticipation swells throughout
This crowd that has assembled
And the mid July Ohio breeze
Causes me to tremble
There's a silent syncopation
Of clouds blocking the light
And soon our excitement
Is interwoven with the night

Time brings change
But life breathes love
This you will find
If you look hard enough
With my short time that I have here
I will make that clear
-Robert Salzer

stipe:

Birdie in the hand
Full of lifes* rich demand
The insurgency began
And he missed it.

I looked for it
And I found it
Miles Standish proud
Congratulate me

*There is no apostrophe. Nor is there one in the title of the album: Lifes Rich Pageant.

SHAMAN'S BLUES
~The Doors~

"There will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh

Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right

And if you have a certain evenin'
You could lend to me
I'd give it all right back to you
A how it has to be with you
I know your moves and your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind

Will you stop and think and wonder?
Just what you'll see
Out on the train yard
Nursin' penitentiary
It's gone, I cry out long

Go head, brother

Did you stop it to consider?
How it will feel
Cold, grinded grizzly bear jaws
Hot on your heels

Do you often stop and whisper?
It's Saturday's shore
The whole world's a savior
Who could ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever
Ask for more?

Do you remember?
Will you stop?
Will you stop?
The pain

And there will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh

Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right

How you must of think and wondered
How I must feel
Out on the meadows
While you run the field
I'm alone for you
And I cry

The sweat, look at it
Optical promise
Heh, heh, heh
You'll be dead and in hell
Before I'm born
Sure thing
Brides maid
The only solution
Isn't it amazing?"
