Since I was a kid I have done well if I can grab little snippets of lyrics. Don't think I have ever been able to catch all the words to any song.
Still treasured and enjoyed so many.
One that always was special:
Kasmir :

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
And not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Oh, baby, I been blind
Oh, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, ooh yes, I been blind
Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Try to find, try to find the way I feel
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like sorts inside a dream
Leave the…

Oh, father of the four winds fill my sails
Cross the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
Oh, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
And my feet wear my fickle way to stay
Ooh, yeah yeah, oh, yeah yeah,
But I'm down oh, yeah yeah, oh, yeah
Yeah, but I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oh, my baby
Let me take you there
Come on, oh let me take you there
Let me take you there

One More,
No QuarterLed Zeppelin:

Close the door, put out the light
No, they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through, oh
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter, oh
Walking side-by-side with death
The devil mocks their every step, ooh
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you, oh, oh, oh
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold…

They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
Yeah
Without quarter, quarter, yeah (without quarter)
Without quarter, quarter, quarter
Taking no quarter
Oh, oh, oh (hear the dogs of doom) (no, never quarter)
I hear the dogs of doom are howling more

I was told this was the favorite song of both Charlie Chaplin and Michael Jackson

Smile

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just
Smile

Jeepster ~ T Rex '71

[YOUTUBEIF]eDFBcl--RCM[/YOUTUBEIF]

You're so sweet
You're so fine
I want you all and everything just to be mine
'Cause you're my babe
'Cause you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
You slide so good
With bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
Just like a car
You're pleasing to behold
I'll call you Jaguar if I may be so bold
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
The wild winds blow
Upon your frozen cheeks
The way you flip your hip it always makes me weak
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
Your motivation is so sweet
Your vibrations are burning up my feet
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
I said, girl I'm just a vampire for your love
And I'm going to suck you

English:

Travis (Scottish Band)
Album: 12 Memories

"Somewhere Else"


Home and away
Life goes on the same, bury the pain
And hold on to love
Heal the song, sing along
But what does it change

Oh this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

Come in knowing everything
But don't say a word, till they teach you the way
Words are found too close to the edge
That we don't dare sing

This will turn into something else, something else
And when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?

And you said I should be myself
Despite all the wrong, dragging you back
Forgive and then forgone and on and on and on and on

This life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

And this'll turn into something else, something else
But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?

Gondwana (Chilean Reggae Band) - Pequeña Dama
Album: Resiliente


For those not speaking Spanish, lyrics are basically a love song towards our most beloved plant... chanting to "rolling time" with a romantic twist)



¿Cómo estás pequeña dama?
Qué bueno tenerte aquí
He puesto bella la mesa
Para que puedas venir

Esperaba este momento
De brindarte mi alimento
De mirarnos a la cara
De sentirnos nuestros cuerpos

Arranca de tu piel
Aquel vestido de papel
Déjame verte alegre amor
Atrás otro quedó
Bajo el susurro de tu voz
Mi vida otro rumbo tomó

Espero estés contenta
Supe que te quedarás
Aunque mucho no tenemos
Todo se compartirá

¿Cómo estás pequeña dama?
Puedo dar fe de mi dicha
Tenerte llenó mi alma
Mi espíritu ha volado
Para quedar a tu lado
Para quedar a tu lado...

Arranca de tu piel
Aquel vestido de papel
Déjame verte alegre amor
Atrás otro quedó
Bajo el susurro de tu voz
Mi vida otro rumbo tomó

Arranca de tu piel
Aquel vestido de papel
Déjame verte alegre amor
Atrás otro quedó
Bajo el susurro de tu voz
Mi vida otro rumbo tomó

[YOUTUBEIF]XcATvu5f9vE[/YOUTUBEIF]

[Verse 1]
The lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

[Chorus]
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love

[Verse 2]

Robin Trower
‘Another Time, Another Place’

Wipe away your tears, my precious one
Everyday somewhere, somewhere will fall

The world must turn, that's why
we try to keep movin' on
It's always been that way,
That's all...
Now I'm not sayin' you won't find
something to believe in
Even the search can become the truth

But first time impressions
can be so deceiving
When sometimes does you harm
just turn the leaves

And we will meet another time
The sun upon our faces
And we will meet another time
Another time, another place...

There will be days when you
just wanna give it up
But things do not always have to go away
So take a drink when I pass you the cup
You'd better can sweet the taste
Another day

‘Twice Removed from Yesterday’

"I think I've travelled here before,
And stood upon this velvet shore,
That looks out to the golden ship of Reason."
The man took to the gentle life,
The wind cried to the skies,
I felt that I would cry as I was leaving.

Tomorrow is a step away,
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness.
Still I am a dream away,
Twice removed from yesterday's sweet madness.

And in my dream, I thought I heard
The truth behind the spoken word.
I thought that I had something to believe in."

But all too soon the dream was gone,
And in the dust that lingered on,
The tears that I'd shed tried to free me.
Tomorrow is a step away,
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness.
Still I am a dream away,
Twice removed from yesterday's sweet madness.

Where Is My Mind

Where Is My Mind

Band: Pixies
Album: Surfer Rosa - 1988

This is one of the most creative and better mastered CDs in terms of audio engineering (by "master" audio engineer Steve Albini), specially in the dynamic range department: to see what I mean, leave volume at your usual listening levels (resist the temptation of raising it when the song starts and is perceived as low volume) and notice how wiiiide is the difference between the faintest and loudest sounds... sadly 95% of CDs are mastered abusing of compression, which renders dynamic range to a third of what this album delivers, and one of the reasons why some audiophiles or "connoisseurs" find properly mastered and pressed Vinyls to sound much, much more "lively" and "uncanned" than CDs.

Where Is My Mind

Ooh, stop
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me koi koy

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

Ooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooh
Ooh

Supersonic


I need to be myself
I can't be no-one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your BMW?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine
You need to find out
Cause no-one's gonna tell you
What I'm on about
You need to find a way
For what you want to say
But before tomorrow
Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call
Nobody can ever hear him call
You need to be yourself
You can't be no-one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka-Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
And she makes me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor
On a helicopter
She's sniffing in a tissue
Selling the Big Issue
When she finds out
No-one's gonna tell her what I'm on about
You need to find a way
For what you want to say
But before tomorrow
Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call
Nobody can ever hear him call

Ava Adore

It's you that I adore
You'll always be my whore
You'll be the mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

Lovely girl you're the beauty in my world
Without you there aren't reasons left to find

And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
You'll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart

Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
In time
We must never be apart

And you'll always be my whore
'Cause you're the one that I adore
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty in you I taste god
We must never be apart

Song= when new dawn fades

""" a change of speed,a change of style,a change of scene with no regrets,,,
a chance to watch admire the distance,,still occupied,, will you forgive?,,
Different colours,different shades over each mistakes were made,
i took the blame,,,,
directionless so plain to see,,a loaded gun wont set me free,,
so ya say!
well share a drink and step outside ,an angry voice and one who cried,,i ve give you everything and more,this strains too much!,cant take much more...
ive walked on water and ran through fire ,,
cant seem to feel it anymore,,,
its me,,waiting for me,,hoping for something more
its me,,,,seeing me this time,,hoping for someone else,,,,,

words by Ian Curtis,,,,,,
Lyrics might be a tad inaccurate as reciting from memory,,,,s2

For anyone who’s ever taken a road that changed the course of your life, took you over horizons that lead to the fruition of dreams that preceded your own time…. Lowell George wrote a tribute …

Lowell George & Little Feat

Willin’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txX-kPn3h6s

I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, but don't you know
I'm still willin'

Out on the road, late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice

[Chorus]
And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me...
Weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin'
To be movin'

I been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stove in, but I'm still on my feet
And I'm still willin'

I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun
Every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still

[Chorus]

Acadian Driftwood

The war was over and the spirit was broken
The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew
We stood on the cliffs
Oh, and watched the ships
Slowly sinking to their rendezvous
They signed a treaty and our homes were taken
Loved ones forsaken
They didn't give a damn
Try'n' to raise a family
End up the enemy
Over what went down on the plains of Abraham

Acadian driftwood
Gypsy tail wind
They call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front movin' in
What a way to ride
Oh, what a way to go

Then some returned to the motherland
The high command had them cast away
And some stayed on to finish what they started
They never parted
They're just built that way
We had kin livin' south of the border
They're a little older and they've been around
They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better
So pull up your stakes, children and come on down

Fifteen under zero when the bay became a threat
My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone
Been out ice fishing, too much repetition
Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known
Sailed out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre
Nothin' to declare
All we had was gone
Broke down along the coast
But what hurt the most
When the people there said
"You better keep movin' on"

Everlasting summer filled with ill-content
This government had us walkin' in chains
This isn't my turf
This ain't my season
Can't think of one good reason to remain
We worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans
It was ever green up until the floods
You could call it an omen
Points ya where you're goin'
Set my compass north
I got winter in my blood

Acadian driftwood
Gypsy tail wind
They call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front movin' in
What a way to ride
Ah, what a way to go

I saw the Grisman/Garcia Quartet at the Warfield Theatre on Market St. in San Francisco, while I was down there for a conference in the early 1990s, not too awful long before Jerry passed away. Bought tickets in advance for a former co-worker/ friend from Alaska and his girl friend, who then lived in the Bay area. We sat in the center of the balcony, in decent seats.

In 1980, as I was making my way back to my tent on the banks of the river at the Talkeetna Blue Grass Festival, I encountered a fellow cannabis enthusiast, J.P., and his then-significant other, L, playing this same tune in the middle of the trail that led to my ‘home’ for the evening. A small camp fire, acoustic guitars, beautiful harmony, and a fine Alaska night, involving this tune.

We were all young, inspired, outlaws, following our visions, or just bobbing up and down in the ocean of life..

An anthem for those who live the ‘Bohemian lifestyle,’ hunted, sometimes eating hand-to-mouth, and as often as can be achieved, living as freely as possible.

Jerry Garcia

Friend of the Devil

I lit it out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
'Til the morning came around


I set out runnin' but I’ll take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight


Well, I ran into the devil babe
And he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills


I set out runnin' but I’ll take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight


I ran down to the levee
But the devil caught me there
he took my twenty dollars
And he vanished in the air


I set out runnin' but I’ll take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight


I've got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail


Well, I got a wife in Chino, babe
And one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child
but it don't look like me

I set out runnin' but I’ll take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD
"Mr. Soul"
Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on

I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, you're strange, but don't change and I let her

In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Chewy boy doobie with the buddha cess
I'm like the Lion King cause everything I see is mines
And Tommy Tuckers man they stop and fuck us like a sign
So read my mind, the situation's critical
And off that chewy man shit can get like (? britical?)
You think you know me? Well test your luck and try me out
And watch me treat you like a cow in a slaughterhouse
That cutty chrome, that microphone
That new Jim Jones, that indo zone
That watch that valium on your dome
I'm putting beary fairy niggas in a state of shock (shock!)
And I'm a killa whale but nigga check my pimp block
So bust that, crush that, crush that
Cuh-crack crack!
That's how that nigga's neck snap
I'm harmon like that (?'move a ree?)
Deadly like that Octagon
Fillmoe to the fuckin heart
Crooked like the Pentagon
Recka! Niggas get jumped like checkers
So what's the use if fuckin Salt if I can't fuck with Pepper
So check my rep, survival tech, and hit man killa tactics
Niggas get berry faced down on silver plastic
Mothafucka, niggas get split like a wishbone
Dank or dope, bank or cope, Nigga Mista Jim Jones
The fat rat dominator, microphone terminator
Quick to break the neck of an E-40 imitator
Nigga don't front, you know I got you open
With more Raider in me than they ever had in Oakland
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
PLOT!
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
And I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
(Dre Dog)
Nigga check my Ike Turner way of doin things
Not out for peace, Dre Dog is out to ruin things
The most hated mothafuck in the Frisco park
And Tommy Tuckers that talk foo I watch like a hawk
So strike a pole, strike a deer when you see me bitch
And like a hound on a fox fool I'm on your scent
You fuckin skunk
Some sugar red some chocolate tai skunk (what?)
These niggas step up and get hung like a duck
Cause I'm the dirty worm hunter
The catterpiller killer
Attitude juss like a ruthless Cuban coke dealer
In Miami, nothin but the money and the power
A deadly mix at 6 foot 6 I'm sorta like a tower
Or a tanker, a mothafuckin Iraq tanker
Nigga raise up and get (dropped!) dropped (dropped!) like an anchor
The Gaurdian Angels lookin straight to rip right on the spot
Cause all you are are voluntary unpaid rent a cops
And I'm a factor, better yet a motherfuckin force
Now I gotta shoot you like a broke legged horse
In pain, nigga break me off beneficial
Mothafuckas praise Nino Brown and Felix Mitchell
Big bread, too mothafuckin smart for the feds
These niggas try to raise up (what you say?) but I heard (what i said)
what
you said
I'm like woof, I know foo but you don't have a clue
(Fuck you!) Nigga fuck me? NO NIGGA FUCK YOU!
Fuck them mothafuckas I don't duck them mothafuckas
I say fuck them mothafuckas I don't trust them mothafuckas
So without a doubt I'll turn it out I ain't got no time to clown
My first words are to the point-nigga lay it down
So rock me up cause I'm dope and triple beam to scale
311 is my block but nigga I'm a killa whale
CAUGHT!
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces but I'd rather be a killa whale
To all you mothafuckas that juss can't tell
I'm a Pisces mothafucka
