Suspended under a twilight canopy
We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We’ll find a cloud to hide us
We’ll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you’ll hold my hand we’ll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly
It’s Soooo difficult to rumble when all you’ve got is fluff… :rolleyes:
I should’ve known
You’d bid me farewell
There’s a lesson to be learned from this
And I’ve learned it very well.
Now I know you’re not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it’s all the same to me…
(written by P. Simon, btw)
One line:
“All we are saying, is give peace a chance”
repeated over and over and over, ad nauseum…
Back in my previous life as a DJ, I would use any excuse possible NOT to play that song…
HERETIC!!!
and re-introduce you to dreck (small doses, you S Cal types are so VERY delicate)
“Red was the color
Of his blood flowing thin;
Pallid white was the color
Of his lifeless skin.
Blue was the color
Of the morning sky,
He saw looking up
From the ground where he died.
It was the last thing ever seen by him”
Forget fluff, I’m back to 70’s dreck
*Girl you’re a hot-blooded woman child
And it’s warm wear you’re touching me
But * [lyrics mercifully forgotten]
You’re seeing way too much in me.
Baby, baby don’t get hooked on me
Baby, baby don’t get hooked on me
Cause I’ll just use you then I’ll set you free
Baby, baby don’t get hooked on me.
Maybe I shouldn’t have gotten hooked on this thread (shudder).

The Newbie Who Refuses To Die!
There is but one remaining challenger?
And a newbie at that?
It would be so sad to use the heavy artillery on such an innocent…
Let’s see if any of the pretenders slink their ways back…
“One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line…”
or not.
This, however is part I, The Curtain:
“Yes it always whispers to me
Of the days of long ago
When the settlers and the miners
Fought the crafty Navajo
How the cattle roamed the valley
Happy people worked the land
And now everything is covered
By the shifting, whispering sand…”
obscure, but one of the truly GREAT bits of dreck ever released (think “Ringo”, but without the humor)
:EXCEEDINGLY evil smiley here:
Yeah right - one Doper’s dreck is another person’s sacred cow 
I can tell that you’ve been hurt
By that look on your face, girl
Some guy brought safety to your happy world
You need love but you’re afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to you again
One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch girl
Ooooo, give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch girl
Ooooo, I don’t care what they say I care what you’ve heard
Any more BIG GUNS out there?
Wow! the 46[sup]th[/sup] song magically reappears!
Do, Please, let me know if/when you are ready to resume combat.
I would hate to fire on an unarmed person.
OK, Miss Communication, try this on for size…
Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight
I got a feelin’ that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m wonderin’ how I’ll get down those stairs
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
Here am I stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you
And I’m wonderin’ what it is I should do
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losin’ control, I’m all over the place
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
And if you’re going to berate us about duplicating in a 325+ post thread, I think you should post an updated list say, every 50 posts? Everyone else ok with that? All in favor?
(Heathen, I hope you know I hold you in the highest respect! If we ever do meet, you’re in for a HUGE hug!)
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you
Is breaking all the rules
Mona -
Commendable first effort!
can’t believe nobody’s done this:
"America: The Good Neighbor.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don’t think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I’m one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."
GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
Rico - if and when you learn to use the lists already provided, we can discuss update rates
Hey, hey we’re the Monkees…
and on that note:
Anyone remember Daydream Believer?
as in:
Cheer up, sleepy Jean,
Oh, what can it mean
To a Daydream believer
and a homecoming queen?
yeah, go it 
Some really great bad lyrical selections. I really loved:[ul]
[li]Why A Duck’s Mr. Jaws (My 1st record I ever bought, in the 2 grade) and ** Run, Joey Run ** (Utterly awful!) Hometownboy’s ** Elusive Butterfly ** (Ex-wife won the argument of not making that our wedding song)[/ul][/li]I nominate two (that I can’t believe haven’t been mentioned yet):
[list=1][li] Byrds: Chestnut Mare: A mix of stupidity (as bad as the afore mentioned “Wildfire”) and implied bestiality[/li]
I’m going to catch that horse if I can
and when I do I’ll give her my brand
Well I was up on Stony Ridge
after this chestnut mare, been chasing her for weeks
Oh I’d catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
taking her meal, bathing, fine lady
This one day I happen to be real close to her
and I saw her standing over there
so I snuck up on her nice and easy
got my rope out
and I flung it in the air!
I’m going to catch that horse if I can
and when I do I’ll give her my brand
And we’ll be friends for life
She’ll be just like a wife
I’m going to catch that horse if I can
And I got her and I’m pulling on her
And she’s pulling back like this mule going up a ladder
And I take a choice and I jump right up on her
Damned if I don’t land right on top of her
And she takes off, running up onto the ridge
higher than I’ve ever been before
She’s running along just fine
'til she stops and something spooked her
it’s a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
she doesn’t know what to do for a second,
but then, she jumps off the edge, me holding on
Above the hills, higher than eagles were gliding
suspended in the sky
over the hill
straight for the sun we were riding
my eyes were filled with light
behind those black walls
below was a bottomless canyon
floating with no sound
ghosts far below
seemed to be suddenly rising
exploding all around
I’m going to catch that horse if I can
and when I do I’ll give her my brand
And we’ll be friends for life
She’ll be just like a wife
I’m going to catch that horse if I can
We were falling
down this crevice
about about a mile down it seem
and I looked down
And I see this red thing below us coming up real fast
and it’s our reflection that’s
this little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep
We’re falling down right through it
We hit, we splashed it dry
that’s when I lost my hold
and she got away
but I’m gonna try and get her again some day
I’m going to catch that horse if I can
and when I do I’ll give her my brand
And we’ll be friends for life
She’ll be just like a wife
I’m going to catch that horse if I can
[li] Harry Nillsson’s: My & My Arrow: Cornier than the afore mentioned Coconut[/li]
*Me and My Arrow
Harry Nilsson
Me and my arrow
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It’s me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Taking the high road
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It’s me and my arrow
And in the morning when I wake up
She may be gone, I don’t know
And we make up just to break up
I’ll carry on, oh yes I will
{refrain}
Me and my arrow
(do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It’s me and my arrow
Me and my arrow (5X)*[/list=1]

Let’s slap Maurice and Barry some more…
“And Massachusetts is one place I have seen…”
let’s re-acquaint y’all with
*Ode To Billy Joe
A year has come ‘n’ gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going ‘round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama doesn’t seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin’ flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge*
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
When you’re busy making other plans.
Beautiful,beautiful beautiful, beautiful boy.
Gah.
John Lennon, how could you?
