This Song's For You uh huh

Vertical Horizon -- Prayer For An Innocent Man

Oh won't you listen O Lord to my plea for justice
Can't you hear my cry for help
Try to heed my honest prayer
And judge me in my favor

'Cause you know my heart
You have come to me at night
But it's so hard to speak no evil
In a hole deprived of light

So I pray for you to answer
And to turn to me and smile
Shower me with love to save me
From demons deep inside

Protect me as you would your own eyes
In the shadows of your wings
And learn to know the sound that echoes
When an innocent man sings
When an innocent man sings
When he sings

So I lie with all my failures
Praying to my best friend's ghost
Time to kneel instead of sitting
And let me do thy bidding
Won't you let me do thy bidding yeah
Help me do thy bidding

-----And another------

Vertical Horizon -- Lines Upon Your Face

A small group of boys walks down the street
Throwing a ball in the air
One says to another
Hey I'll always be your brother
I'll always be your friend

Do you remember
When we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face

Summer's here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says

Do you remember
When we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face

It's three A.M. and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country
A brother listens to his blues he says

Do you remember
When we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now

Sometimes I wish
That we all were immortal
And the game of life always had a happy end
But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing
But I'm just glad to spend my time
With you

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Mary Hopkins -- Those Were The Days

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older buy no wiser
For in our heart the dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Jim Croce -- Lover's Cross

Guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
But now I've come to my decision
And it's a-one of the painful kind
'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

You really got to hand it to ya
'Cause girl you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughin'
There were two times that I cried
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and memories they join aren't the same

Still I hope that you can find
Another who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
Or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't bout to start nothin' new
And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

-----Yeah, more-----

Jim Croce -- New York's Not My Home

Well things were spinnin' round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me
Been in so many places
You know I've run so many races
And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
And something is just not right, 'cause I know

That I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
'Cause New York's not my home

Though all the streets are crowded
There's somethin' strange about it
I Lived there bout a year and I never once felt at home
I thought I'd make the big time
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
And now I'm tellin' you
That they were not the nice kind
And it's been so long since I have felt fine, that's the reason

That I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
'Cause New York's not my home

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Deep Purple -- Child in Time

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

------That one's too short...-------

Kansas -- Dust in the Wind

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Yeah, I know, sorry....last one.

Fiona Apple -- Sleep To Dream

I tell you how I feel
But you don't care
I say tell me the truth
But you don't dare
You say love is a hell
You cannot bear
And I say gimme mine
Back and then go there
For all I care
I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go to
Sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds
And you're not at
All what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

I have never been
So insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas
To wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool
Just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool
But you just run to hide
And I can't abide

I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go
To sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds and
You're not at all
What you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

Don't make it a big deal
Don't be so sensitive
We're not playing
A game anymore
You don't have
To be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case
Don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face
'Cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock
From under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave
And all the stakes you claim
And don't forget the blame

I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go
To sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds and
You're not at all
What you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget
What I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

Sorry to hear you're going Slowwhand. I've never posted a song before, but I've always enjoyed reading the lyrics which others post here, and quite a few of them I downloaded to listen to myself. There is some really great music out there that I would never have discovered if it hadn't been for this thread. So, in thanks, here's one I hope is appropriate for the occasion.


SALLY MACLENNANE - The Pogues

Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning

Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
When he'd had too many Powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
And he took the road for God knows in the morning

We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew we'd be seeing him again
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane

The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
And ended up a barman in the morning

I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
And some people left for heaven without warning

We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew we'd be seeing him again
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane

When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they were on
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
And he took the road for heaven in the morning

We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew we'd be seeing him again
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane

Over My Head
Lit

I'm in over my head
They wanna try and build me up
So they can tear me down
I wish that I could be back there
But I'm here right now
They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin'
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin' they said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I've got to get away from here
And it couldn't be too soon
Cuz I see the stars are here with me
Like rockets to the moon
You take me everywhere that I've never been and
Show me the meaning of what life had to give and
I don't know what to say, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Lyin' in her bed
Somethin' she said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin'
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin' they said
It makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head

Birds of a Feather
Phish
The Story of the Ghost

It's easy sometimes when you just coast along
But like it or not something always seems to go wrong
Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around

Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea
Perhaps you'll laugh and make them all smile
Or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be
Perhaps you'll forget you forgot for awhile

Birds of a feather are flocking outside
Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance
Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
Of ritual drumming although at first glance
You thought you could run but you won't take a chance

It's not an experience if they can't bring someone along
They hang on emotions they bottle inside
They peck at the ground
And strut out of stride
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got a couple a' Texans, huh?

South texas deathride
The union underground

Take a look in my mind and justify
Hell, I might even sympathize
But why must you **** with these things
In my head for so long that I feel I could break
Never forget your lies
Hypocrisize
Five million might change your mind
But why must you **** with these things
In my head for so long that I feel I could break

So c'mon c'mon c'mon get up get up
South Texas deathride you mother****
So c'mon c'mon c'mon get up get up
South Texas man I'm livin' it up

So what if I was your guide
South Texas deathride
Like I said I might sympathize
But why must you **** with these things I believe
Man it's guilt by association
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't wait to see what the censors do to this! They'll overload!
Closer
Nine Inch Nails
The Downward Spiral (1994)

you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
help me i broke apart my insides, help me i've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
i want to **** you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to **** you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex i can smell
help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else
i want to **** you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to **** you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
i drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason i stay alive
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll end it light-hearted.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
They might be giants

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've got a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it, I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks'

Istanbul, Istanbul
Istanbul, Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amesterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just like it better that way

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, Not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's busuiness but the Turks'

So take me back to Constantinople
No you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks'

Istanbul

[Zopperoni]

A Dutch song...

Van Dik Hout - Stil in mij

Kom bij me zitten
sla je arm om me heen
en houd me stevig vast
Al die gezichten bekend
maar beleefd of ik een vreemde was
Vanavond toont het leven zijn ware gezicht

Kom bij me liggen
sla je lijf om me heen
ik heb het koud gehad
We moeten winnen,
de schijn is gemeen en wordt van ons verwacht
Vanavond toont de liefde haar ware gezicht

Het is zo stil in mij
ik heb nergens woorden voor
Het is zo stil in mij
en de wereld draait maar door

Kom bij me zitten
sla je arm om me heen
en houd me stevig vast
Al die gezichten
en jij alleen zoals je gister was
Vanavond toon jij je ware gezicht

Kom bij me liggen
sla je lijf om me heen
ik heb het koud gehad
Je hoeft niks meer te zeggen
de waarheid spreekt al uit ons oogcontact
Vanavond tonen wij ons ware gezicht

Het is zo stil in mij
ik heb nergens woorden voor
Het is zo stil in mij
en de wereld draait maar door

Iedereen kijkt
maar niemand zegt wat hij denkt
Iedereen kijkt maar niemand is wie je denkt
en het is zo ......... stil in mij

MAc: TMBG rock! our tastes are so alike it's scary!

Dancing Days by Stone Temple Pilots

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
If that's the way it should start

Crazy ways are evident
In the way you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
If that's the way it should start

I told your mama I'd get you home
But you didn't say I got no car
I saw a lion, he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar

I know it's all right
You said it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only
my one and only
If that's the way it should start

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
If that the way it should start

ANimal by Def Leppard
A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame
I burn for you

I gotta feel it in my blood whoa oh
I need your touch don't need your love whoa oh

And I want and I need
And I lust animal
And I want and I need
And I lust animal

Cry wolf, given mouth to mouth
Like a movin' heartbeat in the witching hour
I'm runnin' with the wind, a shadow in the dust
And like the drivin' rain, yeah, like the restless rust
I never sleep

Huh!
Ah!
Cry wolf, baby cry tough
Gonna hunt you like an, an, an, an, an, animal
Gonna take your love 'n' run

And I want and I need
And I lust animal
Take me, ame me
Make me your animal
Show me stroke me
Let me be your animal
I want, ooh yeah, animal

[Ramo]

Hey dm, "Dancing Days" is actually a Zeppelin song.

With a Little Help From My Friends
The Beatles

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?

No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know it's mine

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

"Smoke on the Water"
Deep Purple

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
The funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids outa the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

[devilmunchkin]

ramo: yeah, i know, but i like this version best

Bi-Polar Bear by stone temple pilots
So I'm letting it go again
I'm halfway full on
Left my meds on the sink today
My head will be racing by lunchtime

So I'm holding her hand again
My palm sweats
Hold on
Think I've had too much coffee
I'm manic as hell
But I'm goin' strong
Left my meds on the sink again
My head will be racing by lunchtime

Don't sleep behind the wheel at the stoplight
Can't sleep behind the wheel as you're drivin' home
You keep comin' down the hill as you're fallin'
You keep fallin' from the hill as you're comin' down

SUnday Bloody SUNday by U2
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long

'Cause tonight
We can be as one tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long

'Cause tonight
We can be as one tonight
Tonight

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink, while tomorrow they die

The real battle is begun
To claim the victory Jesus won

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

[Ramo]

"Guilty Of Being White"
Minor Threat

Guilty of Being White

I'm sorry
For something that I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born

Guilty of being white

I'm a convict
Of a racist crime
I've only served
Nineteen years of my time

Guilty of being white.

[Ramo]

"...And Justice For All"
Metallica

Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

Apathy their stepping stone
So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity
So deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
With prying minds

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

Lady justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth?i cannot tell
Cannot feel

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price we pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

Yeah, I just don't like rap, country, and pop. Other than that I'm pretty open.

Time to bust out some RCR, Royal Crown Revue for all youse. Why can't I live near San Diego? They play there all the time.

This on'e about the Zoot Suit Riots...

Hey Pachuco!
Royal Crown Revue

Summer '43 the man's gunnin' for me
Blue and white mean war tonight
They say damn my pride and all
The other cats livin' down the east side
Tonight there's no place to hide

Hey Marie you better grab my jack
And zip gun for me
'Cause I'll face no shame
Tonight's the night I die for our name

Well when we hit downtown
We start to throw down
We end up doing time
Soon as they've met us
They're out to get us
So I stick with that gang of mine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahhhh, a standard

Beyond The Sea
RCR

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waitin' for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And she watches the ships that go
Sailin' sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere watchin' for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to your arms
I go sailin'

And somewhere beyond the sea
Well she's there watchin' for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to your arms
I go sailin' sailin'

Well it's far beyond the stars
And it's clear beyond the moon

And I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
And we'll meet I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore and we'll kiss just as before

Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go
Sailin' sailin'

And I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
And we'll meet I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore and we'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go
Sailin'

RCR

Ladies and gents
Your attention please
Let's look to the flying trapeze
The great Mondello will take to the sky
Watch him go-see him fly!

Now this wonder will start with some flips
While the ladies are bitin' their lips
Now the tension is high
As it gets, ÑThat's right folks no netsæ

This cat was flying through with
The greatest of ease
All of a sudden he missed the trapeze
Down and down, down and down
Kersplatty on the ground

Come and see where Mondello did land
The poor fellow is in the Lord's hands
Oh me oh my what a shame
Nothing left
Just a stain

Ladies and gents your attention please
The service will be held at three
Invite the trainers, the clowns and the geeks
That's all folks go home see you next week

This one's sung to Sing, Sing, Sing

Barflies at the Beach
RCR

Alright all you swing cats
Let's try something new
Drag your elbows off the bar
Move your can from the old barstool

There's a place called the ocean
Probably heard about in school
Well, they ain't got no martinis there
But man, that water's cool

And guess what my bar clad buddies
They got women down there too
But that's for rope soap romeo
That bum ain't got a clue

Just for viewin' pleasure
Head down by the pier
Think of all the dough you'll save
On whisky, gin and beer

Now the moral of this story
There's more to life than jazz and bars
So plop your ass down in the sand
And look up at the stars

And if you're feelin' homesick
Bring a showgirl or two
Toss 'em out a volleyball
And hey baby, enjoy the view
