Triple Shot Thursday; Don Williams

Amanda
(Bob McDill)



I've held it all inward, Lord knows I've tried
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes.


Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

<2nd Verse>
It's a measure of people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding 30 and still wearing jeans.


Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

Louisiana Saturday night
Don Williams

Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log,
Single shot rifle and a one eyed dog.
Yonder come the kinfolk, in the moonlight
Louisiana Saturday night!

chorus: Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
Kick off your shoes and throw 'em on the floor
Dance in the kitchen 'til the morning light,
Louisiana Saturday night!

Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log,
Single shot rifle and a one eyed dog.
Yonder come the kinfolk, in the moonlight
Louisiana Saturday night!

My brother Bill and my other brother Jack,
Belly full o' beer and a possum in a sack.
Fifteen kids in the front porch light,
Louisana Saturday night!

chorus: Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
Kick off your shoes and throw 'em on the floor
Dance in the kitchen 'til the morning light,
Louisiana Saturday night!

When the Kinfolks leave and the kids get fed,
Me an' my woman gonna sneak off to bed.
Have a little fun when we turn off the light,
Louisiana Saturday night!

chorus(2): Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
Kick off your shoes and throw 'em on the floor
Dance in the kitchen 'til the morning light,
Louisiana Saturday night!

I'm Just A Country Boy
(Marshall Barer, Fred Hellerman)


I ain´t gonna marry in the fall
I ain´t gonna marry in the spring
Cause I´m in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring

And I´m just a country boy
Money have I none
But I´ve got silver in the stars
Gold in the mornin´ sun
Gold in the mornin´ sun

Never gonna kiss
The ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
Never gonna ask her if she´d
Marry me
I know she´d turn me down

Cause I´m just a country boy
Money have I none
But I´ve got silver in the stars
Gold in the mornin´ sun
Gold in the mornin´ sun

I never could afford
A store bought ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford
Is a loving heart
The only one I own

Cause I´m just a country boy
Money have I none
But I´ve got silver in the stars
Gold in the mornin´ sun
Gold in the mornin´ sun

The Outsider, A Perfect Circle.


Help me if you can
It's just that this is going away
I want it so quickly please,

Help me understand what
I've given in to all the years
And this darkness I have known

Lying to myself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come on to this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a *****, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one woman at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

Medicated, drawn away, picture perfect, no more legiments
Narcisistic, drawn away, craving fame and all this decadance

Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come to this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a *****, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one woman at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come on to this , why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a *****, come to this, come to this

Disconnect and self destruct, one woman at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your karma prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here



dark milennium, bolt thrower.

You feel confusion and new torment as your mind decays
Devolution of your life - begins today - begins today

Hear the sircas scream in vain
Despair for your life
Hope is futile as missiles strike
A cruel twist of the knife

Those that dominate, direct their hate
Life obliterate, humans terminate

Hope for a future, is what you say
With your world in ruins, what a price to pay

As you crawl through the wreckage - you can't believe
Could mankind really be so naive
This world now twisted, brought to its knees
With the people in power left to oversee

A world totally deformed, no hope of being reborn
The heart from it now torn, this world now we all mourn

Look to the future, on your knees now pray
With this world in ruins, what a price to pay

Your world's now in ruins
What a price you paid


Basking In The Darkness, Hemlock

BASKING IN THE DARKNESS-why?
A black rose-a dead hand
be of the strong seems i cannot stand
Hiding-fighting
just pretending to ignore it all
nightmares-this fear
of the one who has killed you all
closed eyes-a sealed mind

BASKING IN THE DARKNESS
Why?-Dark voice-my head
Be of the strong seems i have not bled
Concave-your trust
your fears come from evil lust
No way-to erase
the vivid pain that lurks inside
the drab skies-the evil lies

BASKING IN THE DARKNESS
Why?
Reflections of the fresh rain on the concrete
My brains all twisted and my life keeps dying
Dilluted dreams floating in
the gutter once glistening
The ones that don't care
were the only ones listening

BASKING IN THE DARKNESS
Why?
BASKING IN THE DARKNESS

Something Else

Look at that
Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
One of the cutest since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outta my class
But that can't stop me from thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man, she's something else

Look at that
'Cross the street
There's a car built just for me
To own a car would be a luxury
But right now I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that can't stop me from thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin', man, it's something else

Hey, look at that
Just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I buy that car and then I roll up with Joe
Get me that girl and we go ridin' around
We look real sharp with the wide top down
I keep on dreamin' and thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true, man, that's something else

Hey, look at that
What's all this?
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I'm a-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
It's a '41 job not a '59
I got that girl and I'm thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man, she's something else

Smoke Buddha
Muddy Waters

Verse One:

Aiyyo I got a slight problem I smoke weed too much
Knees buckle the uck up when I'm splittin my dutch
Back up back up! Ain't nobody hittin for free
It's just E Doubl E Keith Murray and me
It cost twenty if you're down with it
Aiyyo son I ride around with my hooptie tinted
to ride around blitted
Cause I be feenin for that pookie
I smoke the good shhh save the backyard boogie for all groupies
And I be, smokin up the hotel lobby
Between mo' sheets than the Isleys, I'm high G
I'm holdin it down for the B-Rrrah-I-C
K, blaze, tell you to get bluhh politely
(Hit the funky if you're riding around gettin blitz)
Ask me if I love the rap game -- I, I'm loving it
Cause I can do what the OWW/-uck I feel is real
Blaze the poot with D. Don and tell UHH to get the dillz

Chorus: repeat 2X

I smoke on and on on, ya don't stop
I'm gettin mad -ucked up and ya don't stop
To all my real dogs, all my real pals
who ain't smokin, get the -uck owwwwt

Verse Two:

I just love tokin, blackin out like Tame in the open
Of course I got the raw dog no need to stick your nose in
Gave you a straight up shotgun when we was smokin
Froze you so fast -- you looked it like Madonna Vogue-in
AwwwwuhhhhH! I got the shhh to get your whole click high
We can get high, but act funny and I'ma whip out
And they gon' whip out, and blow notes like Michel'le
Cause you tried to jump the cipher and it goes THISSAWAY

Chorus

My Way

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain (Ha ha ha!)
You cvnt, I'm not a queer
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
And each and every highway
And much, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
But I did .. what I had to do
I'll see it through without devotion

I planned, each chartered course
Be careful thought along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

There were times, I'm sure you knew
When there was ****, **** **** else to do

But through it all, when there was doubt
I shot it up, or kicked it out
I faced the wall .. and .. the wall
And did it my way

I've loved in bed last night
I've had my fill, my share of looting
And now, the tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think, I killed a cat
And may I say .. not in the way
"But no, no, not me"
"I did it my way"

For what is a brat, what has he got
When he wears hats that he cannot
Say the things he truly thinks
But only the words, not what he feels

The record shows, I've got no clothes
And did it my way

unkle ft. richard ashcroft - lonely soul

God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah, yeah

I believe there's a time and a place
To let your mind drift and get out of this place
I believe there's a day and a place
That we will go to, and I know you wanna share.

There's no secret to living (There's no secret to living)
Just keep on walking
There's no secret to dying (There's no secret to dying)
Just keep on flying.

I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a space that don't hold my fame.

God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls.

I believe there's a time when the cord of life
Should be cut, my friends (Cut the cord, my friend)
I believe there's a time when the cord can be cut
And this vision ends (Let this vision end).

But I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
And I'm gonna cry in a space that don't hold my fame.

Walking in the cold
Just keep on flying
There'll be a searchlight
On the mountain high
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm a lonely soul.

I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name.

God knows you are lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
I'm a lonely soul.

So long, little chapel

Pack up your light
Pack up your light
Say goodbye to the holy water life
Ohhh.....
Ahhh.....

unkle ft. badly drawn boy - nursrey rhyme breather

Does it mean I never let you know
Each time I turn inside
When I fully grow I'll outsize you
But I won't let you fall in love
You know it flows over me
And you won't let me drown inside

Sing a nursery rhyme to keep me quiet
Sing a nursery rhyme to keep me quiet
Woman please stay close to me, close to me
Carried through your ecstasy

You can't stop me breathing
Even when you're on fire
Know that you're weaving
With my emotional wires
Flows through me, in through me, out through me
Over me, feeling me, feeding me electrically

It's electric ballroom love X7

Do do do do, do do do do
I have to breathe the air you breathe
I'm inside you
In a room inside a room, I'm inside you
The colour changes follow your emotion
I can see when you're feeling desire
I feel him close to you
While I just walk around inside you
Don't let him close to me
Not when you know it's not the one
The one X6 that you love
It's electric ballroom love X7
Keep me quiet

Won't you sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while you're on fire
X3
Please just sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet, while I'm inside
X2
I won't let you fall in love
You know inside, the baby knows
X4
Your baby knows X4
You're on fire, you're on fire
Keep me quiet, keep me angry

Screaming Trees

Witness

It’s taken everything
Everything I got and it’s hung me on the line
Water rising up over me
And I think I’m gonna die
Think I’m gonna die

I told a lie
That’s what I said
I told the one you know I’ll always keep
Whose God is mine (3x’s)
Whose God is
The one with the witness

Shine your lonely light on me
I’ll be there to hold the mirror
I can take you down with me
Show you lonely, lonely, lonely

Death wastes no time it seems
And it’s hung me on the line
Hung me on the line
Hard rain falling all over me
And I think I’m gonna die
Think I’m gonna die

I told a lie
That’s what I said
I told the one you know I’ll always keep
Whose God is mine (3x’s)
Whose God is
The one with the witness
Shine.......

Throwing Muses
Bright Yellow Gun

With your bright yellow gun, You own the sun
And I think I need a little poison
To keep me tame Keep me awake
I have nothing to offer but confusion
And the circus in my head, And the middle of the bed
In the middle of the night

With your bright silver frown, You own the town
And I think I need a little poison
I have no secrets I have no lies
I have nothing to offer but the middle of the night
And I think you need a little poison

You leak one apple a week to survive
And you still have to ask if you're alive
You have nothing to offer but police my dreams
Keep me clean Keep me awake

With your bright yellow gun, You own the sun
And I think I need a little poison
With your bright silver grin, You own sin
And I think I need a little poison
Bright yellow gun

Taste of Cindy

Crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Til she's had her fun

She has me
We twist the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun

Though I've heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day

And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy

Throwing Muses
Not too soon

She
colourblind
tired eyes
Her hallway aching
She'll never move him - likes it that way
He's just a walker and he'll never stop walking away
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said -
I know her
She said -
Why do you stare so hard
Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms
Make these old bones shiver
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said -
I know her
The last time I saw you,
You were standing in the dark
And with a freezing face,
I watched you fall apart
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said,
done your time
been in your place
I couldn't look you in the face
and tell you that it turns me on
it makes my stomach turn
I know her

I Love This Bar
Toby Keith

We got winners; we got losers;
Chain smokers and boozers.
An' we got yuppies; we got bikers;
An' we got, thirsty hitchhikers.
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars:
Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar.
We got cowboys; we got truckers;
Broken hearted fools and suckers.
An' we got husslers; we got fighters;
Early birds and all nighters.
And the veterans talk about their battle scars:
Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar.

I love this bar,
It's my kind place.
Just walk in through the front door,
Puts a big smile on my face.
It ain't too far; come as you are.
Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar.

I've seen short skirts; we've got high-techs;
Blue collar boys and rednecks.
An' we got lovers; lots of lookers;
I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers.
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar:
Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar, yes I do!

I like my truck, (I like my truck),
An' I like my girlfriend, (I like my girlfriend),
I like to take her out to dinner;
I like a movie now and then:

But I love this bar,
It's my kind place.
Just toeing around the dance floor,
Puts a big smile on my face.
No cover charge; come as you are.
Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar.
Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I just love this ol' bar.

Bangles - Manic Monday

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

[Blackwidow24]

Sol

Can you see me?
Rising fast against the sea.
Can you feel me?
Burning Luminously.

I push away the darkness
I bring you to the light
Lord of all creation
I chase away the night

If you are lost
I will help you find a way
Believe in yourself
and you will never fail

Can you see me?
You say there's no one left
It's 2a.m. and your still clinging to the remanence.
Shake off the dust
Lay aside you fears
Feel me burning deep and they will dissappear

I push away the darkness
I bring you to the light
Lord of all creation
I chase away the night

If you are lost
I will help you find a way
Believe in yourself
and you will never fail

Heat Of The Moment Lyrics
Asia


I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

Chorus:
It was the heat of the moment
telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't cincern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings

Chorus

And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many night's you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

Chorus
(2 times)

Two for Tuesday: Belinda Carlisle

Runaway Horses

Can't sleep tonight
I feel so shaken
Baby the wind has changed again
You come to me
Straight out of nowhere
Taking me where I've never been

Suddenly all of my fences have broken
I'm cutting the reins of my life

Runaway horses
Take us through the night
Runaway horses
Baby hold on tight
Racing through the darkness
Trying to find a light
You and I on Runaway horses
Baby hold on tight

Stars guide us now
The whole world is sleeping
10 million dreams will soon be told
Out on this road
I'll share your secrets
I'm not afraid of where we'll go

I want you here with me
Pray for our destiny
Here on this mystery ride

Runaway horses
Take us through our life
Runaway horses
Baby hold on tight
Racing through the darkness
Trying to find a light
You and I on Runaway horses
Baby hold on tight

Open my eyes, there's so much light
I feel alive when I'm with you
With every end we'll begin again...


Summer Rain

Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying
Nothing will change
Come dancing with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than the
Santa Ana winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain

I remember laughing til we almost cried
(There at station that night)
I remember looking in his eyes

Oh my love, it's you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Doesn't matter what I do now
Doesn't matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

I can hear the whistle
Military train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can here him singing
Ooh "Love Is Strange"
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out
As the train pulled out
I can see my baby
Waving from the train
It was last time that I saw him
In the summer rain

Every time I see the lightning
Every time I hear the thunder
Every time I close the window
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows
Blows right through my heart

Every night and every day now
Though I know you've gone away
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

[SlowwHand]

Two For Tuesday; Les Dudek

Old Judge Jones

Old Judge Jones never gave a man a break
And on his hanging tree the leaves don’t shake
That man in black… what did he say?
A hundred years in one dark day

A widow’s tale filled with pain
Can make the blue sky shed some rain
You people think that you’ve got the blues
But do you read our everyday news?

One more hung from the tree last night
Old Judge Jones done took another life
Folks keep praying it would end
But sad as it is… it’ll happen again

(solos)

You think we wouldn’t put up with it?
He busts an old lady for a sidewalk spit
Church on Sunday - he’s the first in line
Last week he gave the preacher a fine

Can’t hang a man for what he must do
But if his cause ain’t just and his word untrue…
That man in the robe, a devil in disguise
The bantam’s books are filled with lies

Election time, ol’ Jones’ll never lose
With a gun at your back in the voting booth
You can’t do what you think is right
Sad as it is… another hanging tonight

1st verse

Tell me the truth Avatar
What to do
Don’t let these people bring me down
I’ve got so much to do
Sometimes I forget
The ways of love that I found
It’s hard to spread the words
When your tongue is tied
By petty ways of mans life
I know the time is near
When we will be equal
This day for truth is now


2nd verse

Don’t you know I feel
Like I’m sinking in deep mire
Where there’s no, no place for standing
Yeah I’m drownin’ in deep waters
Where the floods overflow me
And I’m weary of my cryin’
And my eyes have yet to see
So save me oh Lord
From the power of the dogs
I know this evils wrong
But my heart is melting
So stay away from me
All you workers of iniquity
‘Cause the Lord has heard my voice
My voice a weapin’


chorus
I’ll follow you to the train
Shovel my soul to the flame
Ride these rails to where I came

Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Simon and Garfunkel


When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you (ooh)
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Every Rose Has its Thorn
Poison

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
we feel miles apart, inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say
CHORUS:
Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every Roes Has It's Thorn

I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
if I could have let you known somehow, I guess

CHORUS

Though it's been a while now
I still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you
the wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

SOLO

I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of making love
we both made our seprate ways

Now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

CHORUS
