Dave Matthews Band - "Bartender"

If I go,
Before I'm old.
Oh, brother of mine,
Please don't forget me if I go.

Bartender, please,
Fill my glass for me.
With the wine you gave Jesus,
That set him free after three days in the ground.

Oh, and if I die,
Before my time.
Oh, sweet sister of mine,
Please don't regret me if I die.

Bartender, please,
Fill my glass for me.
With the wine you gave Jesus,
That set him free after three days in the ground.

Bartender, please,
Fill my glass for me.
With the wine you gave Jesus,
That set him free after three days in the ground.

I'm on bended knees,
I pray bartender please

When I was young,
I didn't think about it.
Now I can't get it out of my mind.

I'm on bended knees,
Father, please.

Oh, and if all this gold,
Should steal my soul away.
Oh, dear mother of mine,
Please redirect me if this gold...

Bartender, you see,
The wine that's drinking me,
Came from the vine that strung Judas,
From the Devil's tree.
His roots deep, deep in the ground.

Bartender, you see,
The wine that's drinking me,
Came from the vine that strung Judas,
From the Devil's tree,
It's roots deep, deep in the ground, ground.

I'm on bended knees,
Oh, Bartender, please.

I'm on bended knees
Father, please.

When I was young,
I didn't think about it.
Now I just want to run and hide.

I'm on bended knees, oh Bartender, please,
Bartender, please...

PUFF
Peter, Paul, and Mary

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff oh!

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name oh!

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

A dragon lives forever but not so littles boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
One grey night it happened Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon he ceased his fearless roar

His head was bent in sorrow green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his life-long friend Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave oh!

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Done by many

IF I WERE A CARPENTER

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby
If you were a carpenter and I were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby
If a tinker was my trade would I still find you
I'd be carrying the pots you made
Following behind you

Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller and a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
And your soft shoes shinning
If you were a miller and a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my colored blouse
And my soft shoes shinning

Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me
I'd answer you yes I would
And would you not be above me

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
I'd marry you anyway
I'd have your baby

Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrow

FINALLY, success !

I've been looking for this a lonnnggg time.
My main problem was the mistaken belief it was titled "Dew Drop Inn", when it's actually listed as "Uneasy Rider".
Anyway, this is a song about me talking to, Brother Bob Dornan and his buddies.



Uneasy Rider
Charlie Daniels

I was takin' a trip out to LA
toolin' along in my Chevrolet

tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio

jes' as I cross the Mississippi line I heard that highway start to whine

and I knew that left rear tire was about to go

well the spare was flat and I got uptight 'cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight

so I jes' limped down the shoulder on the rim

I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car

it was right in front of this little bar

a kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn

well I stuffed my hair up under my hat

and told the bartender that I had a flat

and would he be kind enough to give me change for a one

there was one thing I was sure proud to see

there wasn't a soul in the place 'cept for him an' me

and he jest looked disgusted an' pointed toward the telephone

I called up the station down the road a ways

and he said he wasn't very busy t'day

and he could have somebody there in jest 'bout ten minutes or so

he said now you jes' stay right where yer at

and I didn't bother tellin' the durn fool I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go

I jes ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar

when some guy walked in an' said who owns this car

with the peace sign the mag wheels and four on the floor

well he looked at me and I damn near died

and I decided that I'd jus wait outside

so I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door

jes' when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin

these five big dudes come strollin' in

with this one old drunk chick

and some fella with green teeth

an' I was almost to the door when the biggest one

said you tip your hat to this lady son

an' when I did all that hair fell out from underneath

now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight

in Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night

'specially when there was three of them and only one of me

well they all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick

and I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick

so I jes' reached out an' kicked ol' green-teeth right in the knee

he let out a yell that'd curl your hair

but before he could move I grabbed me a chair

and said watch him folks 'cause he's a fairly dangerous man

well you may not know it but this man's a spy

he's an undercover agent for the FBI

and he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan

he was still bent over holdin' on to his knee

but everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me

and I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went

I said would you believe this man has gone as far

as tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars

and he voted for George McGovern for president

well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags

I betcha he's even got a Commie flag Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage

he's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys

he may look dumb but that's jus a disguise

he's a mastermind in the ways of espionage

they all started lookin' real suspicious at him

and he jumped up an' said jes' wait a minute jim

you know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life

I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Birch

and I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church

and I ain't even got a garage -- you can call home and ask my wife

then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed

but I didn't wait around to hear the rest

I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck

and when I hit the ground I was makin' tracks

and they were jes' takin' my car down off the jacks

so I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud

of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd

comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot

an' I guess I shoulda gone ahead an' run

but somehow I couldn't resist the fun

of chasin' them jes' once around the parkin' lot

well they're headin' for their car but I hit the gas

and spun around and headed them off at the pass

well I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air

well I had them all out there steppin' an' a fetchin'

like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'

but I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there

when I hit the road I was really wheelin'

had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin'

an' I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas

I think I'm gonna re-route my trip

I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped

if I went to LA via Omaha

THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS
Johnny Rivers

People say I'm the life of the party
'cause I tell a joke or two
Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, need you

If you see me with another girl
Actin' like I'm havin' fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Girl you're the permanent one

Ah, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
Now look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my heart is fading
I'm just a clown
Since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my breakup with you

Baby, baby, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face
My smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

[Berzerker]

YES! Uneasy Rider, that sure was a brain teaser trying to remember that one, nice job Slow!

Did you see "Meet the Parents" with Ben Stiller and Robert Deniro? Deniro plays an ex-CIA agent and Stiller his soon-to-be son-in-law. Deniro is playing Puff the Magic Dragon on the car stereo system - a song he really likes - and Stiller starts explaining to him how puffing the magic dragon is a reference to drugs, lol.

Try explaining to a social conservative about how "The Wizard of Oz" contains several references to drugs The Wicked Witch causes the group of heroes to fall asleep by sending them across a poppy field (heroin) and the Good Witch sends "snow" (cocaine) to revive them from their sleep.

Btw, where are you people finding these lyrics?

Landslide

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down


=================================
Leather And Lace

Is love so fragile...
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words...
Impossible to follow
You're saying I'm fragile... I try not to be
I search only... for something I can't see

I have my own life... and I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door

Lovers forever... face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me... my lace

You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I'd never want to leave
Sometimes I'm a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I'd get by
First time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I would get by

Lovers forever... face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me... my lace

Lovers forever... face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you to stay
Give to me your leather
Take from me... my lace
Take from me... my lace
Take from me... my lace


================================


Take You Around The World (In My Arms)

Baby I'm free
Free to be with you tonight
Look into my eyes and say that it' alright
Come and love me for a while
I wanna see you smile
'Cause I wanna take you - take you around
the world in my arms
I wanna take you where you've never
been before
I wanna hear you say I'm what you're
lookin' for
'Cause it ain't that far to reach and touch
a star
Girl I wanna take you - take you around the world in
my arms
And where I wanna take you is right here
where we are
Babe I wanna take you - take you around
the world in my arms

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT
The Five Satins

In the still of the night
I held you held you tight
Cause I really love you
Promise I'll never let you go
In the still of the night

I remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love

Well before the dawn's light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night

I remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love

Well before the dawn's light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night

You're My Home
by Billy Joel

When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well, I never had a place that I could call my very own
But that's alright, my love, 'cause you're my home
When you touch my weary head
And you tell me ev'rything will be alright
You say, use my body for your bed
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night
Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Wherever we're together, that's my home
Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early morning too
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you
If I travel all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home

Channel Z by the b52's

I am livin' on Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static.
Static filling my attic from Channel Z

I don't know---I feel like something's happening
Something good is happening!
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely

I want the world to change for me! Gotta get away
Away from Z---Living on the edge of Z
Space junk---laser bombs---ozone holes
Better put up my umbrella!
Giant stacks blowin' smoke
Politicrits pushin' dope

All I know---we've got to change what's happening
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through---and I need it
Something big and lovely

I want the world to change for me---gotta get away---away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Waste dumps---toxic fog---irradiate---and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys---tellin' lies
'Bout time---I got wise
Getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z

Gotta tune in---pico waves. Gotta tune out---PCB's
Gotta tune in---market crash. Gotta tune out---polar shift
Gotta tune in---narrow minds. Gotta tune out---space junk

Gotta tune in---pico waves. Gotta tune out---PCB's
Gotta tune in---market crash. Gotta tune out---polar shift
Gotta tune in---narrow minds. Gotta tune out---space junk
Gotta tune in---bombs. Gotta turn out---atomic lasers falling from the sky

Where's my umbrella?
Gonna shoot that static down the drain
Gonna put that static out of my brain
Gonna put up my antennae. FREE!

Hamburger ads!---Pop up in my head---
On the edge of Aquarius---I'm living on the edge
Secret wars!---Take my money away!

I know I feel a change is happening---Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen

I want the world to change for me---gotta get away---away from Z
Living on the edge of---ZZZZZZZZ

Channel Z's all static all day forever---time to open your windows,
Let in better weather

I've Got A Rock 'n' Roll Heart
Eric Clapton


I've got a feeling we could be serious, girl;
Right at this moment, I could promise you the world.
Before we go crazy, before we explode,
There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know, you got to know.

I get off on 57 Chevys;
I get off on screaming guitar.
Like the way it hits me every time it hits me.
I've got a rock and roll, I've got a rock and roll heart.

Feels like we're falling into the arms of the night,
So if you're not ready, don't be holdin' me so tight.
I guess there's nothing left for me to explain;
Here's what you're gettin' and I don't want to change, I don't want to change.

Chorus

I don't need to glitter, no Hollywood,
All you got to do is lay it down and you lay it down good.

Chorus

[reismark]

Great song, greater message. What makes it even better is that the mesh of styles doesn't ruin the original since the song bears a message of tolerance.

What's Going On
All-Star Tribute: Artists Against AIDS Worldwide

What's going on (Tell me)
People dying
People crying
Lord help us

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Oh, brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying (That's right)
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Oh my father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Barricades, can't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me so you can see
Oh what's going on
What's going on
Yeah what's going on (Tell me)
Ahh what's going on

What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
The homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we're politically blind
We can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on

Tell me
What's going on in the world today
I'd rather be dead than turn my head away
We got a first world vision too comfy
To lift our hands in the air
And cry for a switch

Father, father (Father help us, come on)
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Together we can all be strong (United we stand, divided we fall)
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Barricades can't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Baby talk to me so you can see
Yeah, what's going on
Hey, what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on

What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got mommas crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected, too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together, let's fight
We better unite
As genocide, chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure

It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
And dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life

Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die (die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and for me
There's plenty of room for some humanity

You got to tell me
What's going on...
