So c’mon Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'cause
Fire is the devil’s only friend…
FREEBIRD
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown!
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan’s spell
As the flames rose high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The Day
The Music
Died…
Jeeze! If threads keep on dying right after I post, I’m going to get a complex!
Well we can’t have that…I highly recommend single-family homes myself.
He was singin’…
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove my Chevy to the levy
but the levy was dry.
Them good ol’ boys were drinking
whiskey and rye, singing
This’ll be the day that I die,
Yeah, this’ll be the day that I die…
(piano bridge, ritardando)
I met a girl who sang the blues…
And I asked her for some happy news…
But she just smiled and walked away.
(to add how we used to sing it in the bar: “what a bitch!”)
And I went down to the sacred store, where I’d heard the music years before…
But the man there said the music wouldn’t plaaa-aa-aa-aaaay,
And in the streets the children screamed,
the lovers cried and the poets dreamed,
not a word was spoken,
the church bells all were broken…
[sub]C’mon Tenar, I backed you up before…help me out on this one, ok?[/sub]
And the three men I admired most,
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day
The music…died…
And they were singing…
Bye Bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good ol’ boys were drinking whisky and rye
Singing this’ll be the day that i die
This’ll be the day that i die
And they were singing
Bye Bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good ol’ boys were drinking whisky and rye
Singing this’ll be the day that i die
