Good Girl or Bad Girl?
Sparky, Girl, you are AMAZING, and on a roll, I see!
John Lennon is one of my all-time faves and now I'm listening to that first track (Give Peace a Chance) on repeat. We need these kinds of reminders when we get moving too fast to realize what we really want in the end all along anyway.
Great thread.

Good Girl or Bad Girl?
One of my other favorites:
Michael Franti, East To The West Lyrics Woo-hoo!
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
One to creation, one to the sun
One to the mornin, one to the one
One to the air and the freshness we breathe and
One to the force of the change in the seasons
One to the mother from which all things come
One to the daughters and one to the sons
One to the Father who helps us believe that
Nothin's ever gonna harm you see and
One to the soldier who walks city streets and
One to the soldier who fights overseas and
One to the man who gets down on his knees and
Prays for god and send protection please and
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
One to the woman one to the man
One to the culture from the time when it began
One to destruction one to birth
One to the people who still fight for the earth
One to the people who suffer for the needs and
One to the rebels who love rockin to the beats and
One to the healer who fights our disease and
One to the Lorax who speaks for the trees
Cause no amount of money and no amount of man
Can bring back to life what's gone when it's done and
One to the people who rise with the sun and
One to the people who sleep when it's down cause
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
This whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin around
This whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin around
Life is too short to make just one decision
Musics too large for just one station
Love is too big for just one nation and
God is too big for just one religion
One to the practice of bein in the flow and
One to the tears of the things we let go and
One to the moment we live in right now and
One to the East West North and South
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stop
*Sing!*
This whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin around
This whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin around
*Hip-Hoppers* *Punk Rockers*
This whole things seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin around
*Woodstockers & loose rockers*
This whole things seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin around -

HAL9000
Mike & the Mechanics - The Living Years. Has resonance with my wife's family
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So Don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be OK.
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye -

JOHN FOGERTY - Deja Vu (All Over Again)
Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you try to read the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again
Day by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score
Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again
One by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Momma's crying
She's lost her precious child
To a war that has no end
Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you stop to read the writing at The Wall
Did that voice inside you say
I've seen this all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again
It's like Deja Vu all over again -

Whats So Funny Bout Peace Love and Understanding
Elvis Costello
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?For Nvrgnbk~Most excellent choice!
