Joseph Arthur:History

You´re the shaded sun
You´re daddy´s broken gun
You´re the loneliest moon
You are a butterfly dreaming about your cocoon
You´re the only sound when I am blind
So I label you mine

You´re the house you grew up in
You´re always just arriving at your end
You´re your mama´s shit eatin´ grin and your daddy´s double chin
You´re the first pair of shoes you ever went to school in
And you´re the kid pretending she´s in prison
Behind the bars of a jungle gym

Someone´s gonna give you wings
And you´ll think it´s what you need
And you´ll fly
You´ll be so high

But you´re history acts as your gravity
Your history acts as your gravity
Acts as your history acts as your gravity

You´re the only one you ever believe in
You´re the solution and you are the problem
You´re a rapist and your only victim
You are fact and you are fiction
ou´re the only one you´ve considered a friend
And now you´re alive
Waiting for your life to begin
Again

You try to find you, you who is lost
But your hooked to the rush of approaching chaos
You´re king for a minute but a fool for an hour
Alone in your room
You are a closed flower
Dreams of your shadow you´re going to destroy
The way you handle yourself
Like an unbreakable toy


The guy rocks your socks.. Check him out.

Written by peter green.

I can’t help about the shape I’m in
I can’t sing, I ain’t pretty and my legs are thin
But don’t ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

Now, when I talked to God I knew he’d understand
He said, stick by my side and I’ll be your guiding hand
But don’t ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

My Ding A Ling

When I was a little bitty boyMy grandmother bought me a cute little toy.Silver bells hanging on a string,She told me it was my ding a ling a ling.Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.My ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.And then mama took me took me to grammar school,But I stopped off in the vestibue.Every time that bell would ring,Catch me playing with my ding a ling a ling.Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.My ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.Once I was climbing the garden wall.I slipped and had a terrible fall.I fell so hard I heard bells ring,But held on to my ding a ling.Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.My ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.Once I was swimming across turtle creek,Man, them snappers all around my feet.Sure was hard swimming across that thingWith both hands holding my ding a ling.Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.My ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.This here so song, it ain´t so sad.The cutest little song you ever had.Those of you who will not sing,You must be playing with your own ding a ling.Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.My ding a ling, my ding a ling,I want you to play with my ding a ling.Your ding a ling, your ding a ling,We saw you playing with your ding a ling.My ding a ling, everybody sing,I want to play with my ding,Everybody, my ding a ling,Oh my ding a ling,I want to play with my ding a ling.

Ain´t Nothing Gonna Hold Me Down
Men At Work

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I sailed away to China in a little rowboat to find you
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned
Didn´t want no one to hold you, what does that mean?

And you said
Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody´s gonna slow me down
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving
Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
I´m running and I won´t touch ground
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving

You´re on the road and now you pray you´ll last
The road behind you was rocky
But now you´re feeling cocky
You look at me and you´ll see your past
Is that the reason you´re running so fast?

And he said
Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody´s gonna slow me down
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving
Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
I´m running and I won´t touch ground
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving

Never let another guy like you, whip me over
Never let another guy like you, drag me under
If I meet another guy like you, I will tell him
Never want another guy like you, have to say

Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody´s gonna slow me down
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving
Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
I´m running and I won´t touch ground
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving

Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody´s gonna slow me down
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving
Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
I´m running and I won´t touch ground
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving

Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody´s gonna slow me down
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving
Ain´t nothing gonna break my stride
I´m running and I won´t touch ground
Oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving

My Dingaling
LOL. I play that song for family when we get together... It´s a classic among us.. Fun stuff!

Green-eyed Lady
Sugarloaf

Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green-eyed lady, ocean lady
Soothing every ragin´ wave that comes
Green-eyed lady, passions´ lady
Dressed in love
She lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life
I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free.

Green-eyed lady, wind swept lady
Rules the night, the waves, the sand
Green-eyed lady, ocean lady
Child of nature, friend of man
Green-eyed lady, passions´ lady
Dressed in love
She lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free.

Making Love Out of Nothing at All
Air Supply

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie

I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
And I know the time´s gonna fly
And I´m never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break ´em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don´t know how to leave you
And I´ll never let you fall
And I don´t know how you do it
Making love out nothing at all

Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun are all
Streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it´s lost
And it´s looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright

I´ve gotta follow it ´cause everything I know
Well it´s nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle,
I can make all the stadiums rock

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone

But I´m never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl
And I´m never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) Out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all (Making love)
Out of nothing at all (Making love)
Out of nothing at all (Making love, love)

Eagles Lyrics
Song: Desperado Lyrics


Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow

Don’ you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t get

Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re loosin’ all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away

Is it cloak ’n dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away

There’s something out there
I can’t resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There’s something out there
I can’t resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I’ve ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away



heart

Let me take you to the movies. can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly. can I make your garden grow

From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes satan’s daughter, and it only goes to show. you know.

There’s an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden. and the seeds of love I’ll sow. you know.

So the world is spinning faster. are you dizzy when you’re stoned
Let the music be your master. will you heed the master’s call
Oh... satan and man.

Said there ain’t no use in crying. cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying? was this the only world you had? oh-oh

So let me take you, take you to the movie. can I take you, baby, to the show.
Why don’t you let me be yours ever truly. can I make your garden grow
You know.

"Desolation Row"

They´re selling postcards of the hanging
They´re painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They´ve got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they´re restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row.

Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he´s moaning
"You belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says, "You´re in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that´s left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row.

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he´s dressing
He´s getting ready for the show
He´s going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row.
Now Ophelia, she´s ´neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession´s her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah´s great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row.

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
You would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row.

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They´re trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She´s in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row.
Across the street they´ve nailed the curtains
They´re getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
In a perfect image of a priest
They´re spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they´ll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom´s shouting to skinny girls
"Get outa here if you don´t know"
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row.

At midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row.

They be to Nero´s Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
Everybody´s shouting
"Which side are you on ?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain´s tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row.
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
About the time the door knob broke
When you asked me how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke ?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they´re quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can´t read too good
Dont send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row.

Karma police
arrest this man,
he talks in maths,
he buzzes like a fridge,
he´s like a detuned radio.

Karma police
arrest this girl,
her Hitler hairdo
is making me feel ill
and we have crashed her party.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

Karma police
I´ve given all I can,
it´s not enough,
I´ve given all I can
but we´re still on the payroll.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.
