'Black Girls' by Violent Femmes.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
~~~~~Led Zeppelin


Another sleepless night.  I'm out of ambien bullets.  Watching the daybreak and enjoying a toke.  Like I've done a million times before.

There is way too many to even start to recall what I think would be my favorites.

Dutch & Goose

Sportsfan  that's a winner.

 

Here is a fun lyric by Rick Nielson of Cheap Trick from the song Surrender.

But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my KISS records out

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth. - The Who, Substitute

Fountains of Wayne - Radiation Vibe

Are you alone now? Did you lose the monkey?

He gave you back aches and now you slouch

He didn't mean it, he's just a dumb ape

Reading Playboy on your couch

 

James McMurtry - Leveland

Mama used to roll her hair, back before the central air

And sit outside and watch the stars at night

She'd tell me to make a wish, I'd wish we both could fly

Don't think she's seen the sky since we got the satellite dish

And I can hear the marching band doing the best they can to play Smoke on the Water and Joy to the World

I've paid up all my debts got same change left over yet, I'm gettin' on a whisper jet, gonna' fly as far as I can get from Levelland

 

Glossary - Little Caney

Come on little Caney you know the sun is sinking now

We got to make it on out to where your branches lay

Marked by stones, covered by wildflowers is family you've never known

Rotten old clothes lying in boxes of bones

I wish that you could have been here when they all had soul

So much soul

 

Hank Williams Jr.

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't want to go

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I just assume stay home

"Wasn't easy to wake up I guess, shake the embers from my hands and my brain."

'Enough' - Jonathon Keevil

Discovered this dude on the soundtrack to a kinda bizarre indie flick called 'Bellflower'.

I really dig his stuff, but I can only find 4 songs by him.

"And low and behold
As life takes it's toll
And I thought
Oh I'll never
Grow old"

'Bland' - Keevil

Can you remember, remember my name?
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life I am the echo of your past

People are lonely....great line 

On the day after a sad and apparent suicide by Robin Williams. A line from the Elton John/Bernie Taupin song-  "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"

But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself.

If you had only loved yourself more. He suffered a life of substance abuse and depression. Very sad for the ones he left behind.

 RIP Robin Williams

Guiding your vision to Heaven
And Heaven is in your mind
~Traffic

We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school. - Bruce Springsteen, No Surrender

" I'd like to meet his tailor "

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

Carole King- It's too Late

 

 

Mama's got a squeeze box daddy never sleeps at night.

Joe, Springsteen is called the Boss and for a good reason amazing songs he penned. I love that No Surrender lyric.

 

 

What would you do if I sang out of tune would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lennon / McCartney

 

Oh oh I need you by me
Beside me, to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I'm bad
I'm so, so bad

Donna Summer- Last Dance

 

We in the building like 2 planes girl-Big Sean

Fred Eaglesmith- "Alcohol and Pills"

"Fame doesn't ease the pain...it just pays the bills."

Alice in Chains- "Junkhead"

"What's my drug of choice? Well what have you got? If I don't go broke can I do it a lot?....I do it a lot yeah!"

Layne Staley lived it, that is for sure.

Some great lines in songs...

hmmm...
O.K.
I go about this the wrong way -
I am human and I need to be loved
just like anybody else does

 I wanna put my log in your fireplace!
