Johnny’s got high expectations
He’s going to rise
Everyone knows that Johnny is ready
He’s ready to fly
Up on the rooftop he turns to the crowd
No one is waiting
Because no one is thereNobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world that’s clear and bright
You could be packed up and ready
Knowing exactly where to go
How come you miss the connection?
No use in asking
The answer is nobody knows
No use in asking
The answer is nobody knowsJohnny will keep his illusions
What else can he do?
And you can pretend that it would be different
If it happened to you
But up on the rooftop it’s a whole other world
And who could see heaven and not want to stay?Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world that’s clear and bright
You could be packed up and ready
Knowing exactly where to go
How come you miss the connection?
No use in asking
The answer is nobody knows
No use in asking
The answer is nobody knows
The answer is nobody knows30 August, 2012 at 8:18 pm #140223O My O My
What a wretched life
I was born on the day
That my poor mother died
I was cut from her belly
With a stanley knife
My daddy did a jig
With the drunk midwifeWho’s that yonder all in flames
Dragging behind him a sack of chains
Who’s that yonder all in flames
Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claimO poor heart
I was doomed from the start
Doomed to play
The villians part
I was the baddest Johnny
In the apple cart
My blood was blacker
Than the chambers of a dead nun’s heartWho’s that milling on the courthouse steps
Nailing my face to the hitching fence
Who’s that milling on the courthouse steps
Up jumped the Devil and off we creptO no O no
Where could I go
With my hump of trouble
And my sack of woe
To the digs and deserts of Mexico
Where my neck was safe from the lynching ropeWho’s that yonder laughing at me
Like I was the brunt of some hilarity
Who’s that yonder laughing at me
Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3Ha-Ha Ha Ha
How lucky we were
We hit the cathouse
And sampled their whares
We got as drunk
As a couple of Czars
One night I swallowed
My lucky starWho’s that dancing on the jailhouse roof
Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof
Who’s that dancing on the jailhouse roof
Up jumped the Devil and said “Here is your man and I got proof”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J3QHzbK9jY

30 August, 2012 at 8:28 pm #140224no don’t go O no
O slow down Joe
The righteous part
I straight as an arrow
Take a walk
And you’ll find it too narrow
Too narrow for the likes of meWho’s that hanging from the gallow tree
His eyes are hollow but he looks like me
Who’s that swinging from the gallow tree
Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from meDown we go Down we go Down we go
The Devil and me Down we go down down down
Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go
To Eternity Down we go We go down down down
Down we go we go down down down
Down we go the Devil and me to Eternity
We go down down down down down ad inferno:lol:

You’ve got your
Hell’s teeth
smiling at you.
It keeps your brain safe,
as it all eats at your face…
And don’t worry,
we’ll ‘blur it out’
and no one
ever will know,
oh
no, oh oh oh
This is my beautiful show
and everything is shot
in slo-motion
This is my beautiful show
and everything is shot
in slo-motion
SLO-MO-TION
Pump in the laughter
of dead-audience applause
and TEENAGE RAPE candidates
I think we got ourselves
a ‘real hit’
Don’t we wish
that we could feel something
more than
hate and morbid panic
morbid panic
hate and morbid panic
This is my beautiful show
and everything is shot
in slo-motion
This is my beautiful show
and everything is shot
in slo-motion
SLO-MO-TION
I’m the host with Vaseline
I hide behind bulletproof glass
and I can feel your ****
with my brand new camera
(equipped with a flash)
fast-food-nude
I hate you all
but somehow
you find me…
incredibly charming
This is my beautiful show
and everything is shot
in slo-motion
(incredibly charming)
This is my beautiful show
and everything is shot
in slo-motion
SLO-MO-TION

This is my beautiful show

But you just can’t eat
You can feel the cushions
But you can’t have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool
But you can’t have a swim
You can feel the punishment
But you can’t commit the sinAnd you want her
And she wants you
We want everyoneAnd you want her
And she wants you
No one
No one
No one ever..
Is to blameYou can build a mansion
But you just can’t live in it
You’re the fastest runner
But you’re not allowed to win
Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won’t get lostAnd you want her
And she wants you
We want everyoneAnd you want her
And she wants you
No one
No one
No one ever..
Is to blameYou can see the summit
But you can’t reach it
It’s the last piece of the puzzle
But you just can’t make it fit
Doctor says you’re cured
But you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds
But your hopes go down the drainAnd you want her
And she wants you
We want everyoneAnd you want her
And she wants you
No one
No one
No one ever..
Is to blameNo one ever..
Is to blameNo One Ever..
Is
To
Blame

26 September, 2012 at 10:06 pm #140227Somewhere out there,
Beneath the pale moonlight,
Someone’s thinking of me,
And loving me tonight.Somewhere out there,
Someone’s saying a prayer,
That we’ll find one another,
In that big somewhere out there.And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star,
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky!Somewhere out there,
If love can see us through,
Then we’ll be together,
Somewhere out there,
Out where dreams
Come true…Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram
11 October, 2012 at 9:30 pm #140228These arms of mine they are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue, these arms of mine
They are yearning, yearning from wanting youAnd if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will beThese arms of mine they are burning
Burning from wanting you, these arms of mine
They are wanting, wanting to hold youAnd if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will beCome on now, baby
Come on, come on baby, now
Just be my little woman, just be my lover
Oh, I need your warmth
I need your loving arms to hold me tight.

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breathTeardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breathNine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breathTeardrop on the fire
Fearless on my…Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breathTeardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breathYou’re stumbling down
You’re stumbling down12 December, 2012 at 5:46 pm #140230Within you without you
We were talking – about the space between us all
And the people – who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far too late when they pass awayWe were talking – about the love we all could share
When we find it – to try our best to hold it there – with our love
With our love we could save the world – if they only knew
Try to realise it’s all within yourself – no-one else can make you change
And to see you’re really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.We were talking – about the love that’s gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don’t know, they can’t see – are you one of them ?When you’ve seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we’re all one
And life flows on within you and without you.24 December, 2012 at 9:44 pm #140231Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
