Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America

Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America

 

My fave Neil song:


Baby loves me
Yes, yes she does
Ah, the girl's outta sight, yeah
Says she loves me

Yes, yes she does
Gonna show me tonight, yeah

She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me

 

Nibblin' on bacon
Chewin' on cheese
Sam says to Suzie
Honey, would you please be my Mrs
Suzie says, yes, with her kisses
Now, he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle
Now anything goes as they wriggle
Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle
Floatin' like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love

 

Give us any chance we'll take it
Read us any rule we'll break it
We're going to make our dreams come true
Doing it our way

Nothing's going to hold us back now
Straight ahead and on the track now
We're going to make our dreams come true

There ain't nothing we won't try
Never heard the word impossible
This time there's no stopping us
We're going to do it

On your marks, get set, and go now
Got a dream and we must know now
We're going to make our dreams come true

And we'll do it our way, yes our way
Make all our dreams come true
When we do it our way, yes our way
Make all our dreams
Come true
For me and you

​

 

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days.
Thursday, Friday, Happy Days.
The weekend comes,
My cycle hums,
Ready to race to you.

These days are all,
Happy and Free (Those Happy Days)
These days are ours,
Share them with me (oh baby)

Goodbye grey sky, hello blue
There's nothing can hold me when I hold you
Feels so right, can't be wrong
Rockin' and rollin' all week long

These days are all,
Happy and Free (Those Happy Days)
These days are ours,
Share them with me (oh baby)

Hello sunshine, goodbye rain
She’s wearing my school ring on her chain
She’s my steady, I’m her man
I’m gonna love her all I can

These days are all,
Happy and Free (Those Happy Days)
These days are ours,
Share them with me (oh baby)

Gonna cruise her round the town
Show everybody what I found
Rock n roll with all my friends
Prayin' the music never ends!

These days are all,
Happy and Free (Those Happy Days)
These days are ours,
Share them with me (oh baby)

 

I always think about this when I think about the Happy Days song...
One of the early 'KILLER"' guitar solos!

One two three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five six seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine ten eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

So put your glad rags on and join me hon'
We're gonna have some fun when the clock strikes one.

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes two, three and four
When the dance slows down, we're gonna yell for more.

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When the chimes ring five, six and seven
Oh we'll be dancing in seventh heaven.

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too
I'll be going strong so will you.

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes twelve and it's time to end
We'll start to rockin' round the clock again.

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight.

 

Did you see the sky, I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one last time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it's just the farthest that I've ever been

Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far

I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still, I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have come undone

Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
Whoooo!

 

Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say

 

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

 

Well every person you can know,
And every place that you can go,
And any thing that you can show,
You know they're nouns.

A noun's a special kind of word,
It's any name you ever heard.
I find it quite interesting,
A noun's a person, place or thing. . .

— Grammar Rock, 1973

 

These days just bring me back to those early days of the 1970s and The Kinks, with people being called to rat out neighbors with too many guests at Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door,
They're demonstrating outside I think they're gonna start the third world war,
I've been to my local head shrinker,
To help classify my disease,
He said it's one of the cases of acute schizophrenia he sees.

Well the milkman's a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me,
And the woman next door's an undercover for the K.G.B.,
And the man from the Social Security
Keeps on invading my privacy,
Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease.

I've got acute schizophrenia, paranoia too,
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia,
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose,
Acute schizophrenia blues.

 

Roll that tape
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh


Thirty...
Thirty days...
Anyone doin' that one?
Thirty...
I'm doin' that one

30 days in the hole (yeah, that's nice)
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole (Lord have mercy)

(Laughter)
Oh yeah, c'mon in man that's it
Yeah right

All right, all right, all right, all right, yeah

Chicago Green, talkin' 'bout red Lebanese
A dirty room and a silver coke spoon
Give me my release, come on
Black Nepalese, it's got you weak in your knees
Seeds and dust that you got bust on
You know it's hard to believe

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
That's what they give you
30 days in the hole

Newcastle Brown, I'm tellin' ya, it can sure smack you down
Take a greasy whore and a rollin' dance floor
It's got your head spinnin' round
If you live on the road, well there's a new highway code
You take the urban noise with some durban poison
It's gonna lessen your load

30 days in the hole
That's what they give you now
30 days in the hole
Oh, yeah
30 days in the hole
All right, all right
30 days in the hole

Well how you doin' boy?
You here for 30 days
Get, get, get your long hair cut
And cut out your ways

Black Nepalese, it got you weak in your knees
Only seeds and dust that you got bust on
You know it's so hard to please
Newcastle Brown can sure smack you down
You take a greasy whore and a rollin' dance floor
You know you're jailhouse-bound

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
Ohoooohooohooooo
30 days in the hole
30 days, 30 days, 30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole

 

I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome, I'm getting closer to my hoome,.....

 

... I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye!


(good night all)

 

Well, they've started the "non-stop, put a .45 in your mouth to escape it'" pervasive Christmas music.

Here's one I can stand (The Yobs):

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve smelly cunts **(sung to tune of "Five golden rings")**
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Eleven buggered ends
Ten turd burglars
Nine ways of wanking
Eight posing pouches
Seven strap-on dildos
Six soapy gussets
Five fucking whores
One, two, three, four urine samples
Three rubber johnnies
Two blow-up dolls
And a vibrator with a battery

 

It's a long day Friday its like movin on this weight's
Got me all up tight, right
Partner came through with two white boys
(duuude)
Talkin noise bout a hot spot
Where bitches come alone and mother fucker's dont cock block
Let the top drop and we out hit the liquor store
Give me O.E. and three blunts no make it four
Anything else?
(Vitamin C pills and orange juice)
What are you drinking gin?
(no dude its the shroomz)
The shroomz? (what?)

Yeah thats some other shit
One of the reasons why George Clinton sees the mother ship
How high it make you get, fucked up?
Throw it up, guts?
Or do it have you stuck with soft dick and cant fuck
Hold up...

Now chew 'em up and slam the orange juice
Vitamin c chase kill the taste
You can tell its nasty by the look on my face
Dont get it twisted like you be all coked up and druggied down
See cannibus and mushrooms be comin from the ground
All natural

Post it at the club looking funny style
Tight slack, pimp feather hat where the bitches at?
Here we giving orders at the bar holding money
When all of a sudden, all the people started looking funny
And started lookin runny, and liquified
Right before my very eye this is a different kind of high

(Ohh shit, You see this shit...
These mother fuckers be melting and shit)
Ha ha ha ha!

So many bitches walkin by that i recognize
Feeling hypnotized pupils dialated changing size
Thats when i heard the battle cries from across the room
See these crooks with straight nickel proof, activate
It's on! A bunch of wild triggers smashing dudes
Came crashing through, elbows and right hooks for you

We got thrown out, by this time my shit is blown out
Pull the phone out, accelleration and we bone out
In the zone out beyond Captain Kirk and Klingons
The Shit that im on be high powered like a Yukon
Back to my house, fucked up
Trying to see straight
How much of that bullshit did I actually take
(2 grams duuude)

God damn no wonder why
I feel like the other meat told white boy
Mother fucker we got beef
Over did it homes
People playin bones in the living room
Restless, try to find anything to mess with
Where my keys at?
Pickin up clothes, trying to fold this shit
See my 12 gauge on the wall, better unload this shit

Fucked up people and fire arms dont mix right
Cocked back the chamber dumping shells till it felt light
Thought I dumped'em all, counted 7 but it was 8
Straight gone point the barrel at the flow and let it go
BANG!

 

Keep the ball rollin', Keep the ball rollin'.
Girl, the name of the game is love.
On your mark, get set, let the kissin' start,
and just Keep the ball rollin' baby,
right into my heart...


— Jay & the Techniques, 1966

 

She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
I would have run away but I was on my own
She told me later she's a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone

I said my, my, like the spider to the fly
Jump right ahead in my web

 

Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by
(Passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try
(Let me try)

Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is

La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, baby please now
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
