happyheathen, I think my average is higher than that! Which of the songs I posted would you put in the non-dreck category? Heartlight? Love is a Battlefield? DIVORCE? Relax? He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)? Nah, dreck, all of 'em.
One more:
In touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf
“I look over yonder, what do I see?
The sun is risin’, most definately.
A new day’s comin’, people are changin’,
Ain’t it beautiful?
Crystal Blue Persuasion…”
Don’t look so sad, I know it’s over
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning
Let’s just be glad we had some time to spend together
There’s no need to watch the bridges that we’re burning.
Lay you head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me, one more time
For the good times.
"The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails.
Way down below the ocean where I want to be
She made me…"
A.K.A. The song that plays in the background as Billy Bats gets beaten to deathin a bar. (If you’ve seen the movie I’m referencing, you’ll know what I’m talking about.)
Anyway…don’t want to leave out lip-synched dreck:
“Girl you know it’s true
Ooh, ooh, ohh, I love you”
::deb once again enters with another current song that is dreck::
So I cried, I prayed and I begged
Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
Big ole Ruby Red Dress, wanders ‘round the town
Talkin’ to herself now, sometimes sittin’ down
Don’t you get too close now, Ruby runs away
Poor ole Ruby red dress, born a sorry day
I can hear her say
Leave me alone, won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Please leave me alone, yes leave me alone
Leave me alone, won’t you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, oh leave me
sure smells like c/w manure in here, all of a sudden
“You fill up my senses like a night in a forest,
Like the mountains in springtime,
Like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.”
Told you once before
And I won´t tell you no more
Get down, get down, get down
You´re a bad dog baby
But I still want you ´round
You give me the creeps
When you jump on your feet
So get down, get down, get down
Keep your hands to yourself
I´m strictly out of bounds
Once upon a time I drank a little wine
Was as happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I´m just like a cat on a hot tin roof
Baby what do you think you´re doin´ to me
“Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday a Monday a Monday; is very very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday a Tuesday a Tuesday; in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday a Thursday a
Friday and Saturday is best
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday a Sunday
'Cause that’s my day of rest…”
I got a letter from back home the other day –
They’re all fine, and the crops is high –
And down at the end, my Mama said,
“You know, Old Rivers died.”
I’m just sitting here on this new-plowed earth,
Tryin’ to find me a little shade.
And with the sun beating down, 'cross the field I see
That mule, Old Rivers…and me.
Say, one of these days I’m gonna climb that Mountain;
Walk up there among them clouds,
Where the cotton’s high and the corn’s a-growin’,
And there ain’t no fields to plow.
Old Rivers Walter Brennan
"Last Saturday evenin’ came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found
With a note addressed to me
It read “Dear love, I’ve done you wrong”
“Now I must set you free”
“No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin”
“I just couldn’t tell you that guy was just a friend”
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy water took my baby’s life"
