Is there anybody out there?
He’s a real nowhere man
Living in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody
Somebody tell me you love me
Somebody tell me you care
I’ve got a heart full of giving
Going nowhere
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Everybody loves Louie,
Louie’s simple and kind.
Everybody loves Louie,
Louie’s lovable.
Seems we never know, do we,
Who we’re going to find?
And Louie the baker is not what I had in mind.
See what I mean
Louie really caused a scene
He did, I tell you
Ain’t no diff’rence 'tween black or white
Brothers, you know what I mean
Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie, Louie you’re gonna cry
Sittin’ here in your room
I’ve been listen’ to the freeway and the moon
Shinin’ through
Broken windows I’ve been waitin’ for ya singin’
Louie louie louie lou-ee
When ya gonna come back home
Louie louie louie lou-ii
You know I hate to see you cry
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well, I know now, that you’re not a plaything
Not a toy, or a puppet on a string
It’s hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path, sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
When you notice a cat in profound meditation
The reason, I tell you, is always the same
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name
His ineffable, effable, effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name
Name, name, name, name, name, name
Like the north wind whistling down the sky
I’ve got a song, I’ve got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the phoebe’s cry
I’ve got a song, I’ve got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I go there proud
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won’t pass me by
[checked, 1st is that Hot Chocolate song from the early 70’s, 2nd is from Fastball, 2004]
OK, that HAS to be plagiarism…jeez…
Movin’ right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends you can’t lose,
This could become a habit
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car;
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
Happiness more or less
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am
But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?
Well, I’m a lucky man
With fire in my hands
He had white horses and ladies by the score
All dressed in satin and waiting by the door
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
It’s a dream come true, which one will it be?
It’s a dream come true, we’ll just wait and see
Only the lucky ones get to steal the show
Only the lucky ones really get to know
Only the lucky, only the lucky ones get lucky
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you’ve ever been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you’ve treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
(Heh heh. The previous poster posted at 4:20 on 4/20 (my time).)
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
