Johnny Cash was a class act. He struggled with drugs, and his own human weakness. He kept up with the times and wrote sngs that caused people to reflect. I have his "personal jesus" originally done by Depche mode. it sounds very good. One of his CD's "the man comes around" is so true, johnny cash was not lost in the past, he was current and fresh the day he died. Another i love is Ira hayes
| Johnny Cash Lyrics The Ballad Of Ira Hayes Lyrics Ira Hayes, |
He died drunk one mornin'
Alone in the land he fought to save
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch
Was a grave for Ira Hayes
That's a very profound song, Wednesday. Very moving and very sad. This excerpt makes me think of this song by Neil Young:
After The Gold Rush
Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

| Imagine Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one. |
yes yes yes
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
I Lost the Right to Sing the Blues © 2000 Karen Drucker/John Hoy/Rita Abrams
I woke up this mornin? -- and somethin? was not right
My poor head was a-throbbin? -- cause I tossed and turned all night
This unfamiliar feelin? it shook me up inside
The truth it was revealin? -- that part of me had died
So I called my higher self -- and she gave me the bad news
She said ?Your life is just too good -- you lost the right to sing the blues!?
That broken down old Chevy -- that was eatin? me alive
I visualized a Lexus -- and now it?s sitting in my drive
And that man of mine -- that scoundrel that rotten low down bum
I?ve transformed him into a love-God -- with a sizable trust fund
Everywhere I looked -- I was confronted with the clues
My life was just so good ?- I lost the right to sing the blues?
You can sing the blues ?- if you can?t pay the rent
And you can sing the blues -- if all your money?s been spent
But how can I sing the blues -- I ain?t got no excuse
when I?m driving my Porsche -- on the way to my masseuse?
So you won?t find me wailing late at night -- in some smokey bar
And you won?t see me cryin? tears into my old guitar
I?m too busy cleaning my charkas -- and chasing bad karma
And fluffing up my aura -? well that could take all day
Now that I?m enlightened ?- I gotta spread the news
When life gets this darn good -- you?ve lost the right to sing the blues?
You can sing the blues -- when your best friend puts you down
You can sing the blues -- if your man has done left town
But what gives me the right to sing that mournful tune
When I?m steamin? with my honey -- in my sauna in Cancun?
So now you?ve heard my story -- and you understand the pain
Of searching and not finding -- any reason to complain
'Cause my stars are in alignment -? my house is all feng shui-ed
I?m filled with peace and harmony -? my bills have all been paid
I?ve let go of the struggle ? you know I?ve paid my dues
When life is this darn good -- I?ve lost the right to sing the blues?
hehehe!!!
ESTEE
PleasureDome, Imagine is a song I agreed with before it was ever written. Later, I thought the JWs wanted a world like the one in Imagine. But it always troubled me that they wanted it basically for themselves excluding anyone who did not want to listen to their message and give into their control. Glad I know better now.
Estee, I know people like that, their lives are good but they complain. I do have many reasons to sing the blues but I don't. I look at mostly the blessings. Counting blessings is a very healthy thing to do.
Hey French, glad you joined John Lennon.

Modest Mouse - Float On
I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off sometimes life¹s ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?
Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on anyway.
Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on sadly the same day, that we were going to quit it anyways
And we¹ll all float on OK.
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on
Alright already, we'll all float on
No don't you worry we'll all float on
Alright I¹m ready. We'll all float on
Alright don't worry we'll all float on
Alright, alright, we¹ll all float on.
Alright already, we¹ll all float on OK.
Don¹t worry, we¹ll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we¹ll all float on.
Alright already, we¹ll all float on alright.
Don¹t you worry, we¹ll all float on.
We¹ll all float on.
We met as soul mates
On Parris Island
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives
We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight
We had no home front
We had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy
They gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all of our might
We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Remember Charlie
Remember Baker
They left their childhood
On every acre
And who was wrong?
And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day
In the palm
Of our hand
They ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks
On Parris Island
We held the coastline
They held the highlands
And they were sharp
As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
OOORAH We love this song ......a DI at Parris Island use to play this for the boys at night.......
We are scanning the scene
In the city tonight
We are looking for you
To start up a fight
There is an evil feeling
In our brains
But it is nothing new
You know it drives us insane
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
There is no escape
And that is for sure
This is the end we won?t take any more
Say goodbye
To the world you live in
You have always been taking
But now you?re giving
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Our brains are on fire
With the feeling to kill
And it will not go away
Until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing
On our minds
Don?t try running away
`cause you?re the one we will find
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Hmmmm any black sabbath song really.....
