Carolina In My Mind
James Taylor
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?

Karen, she's a silver sun
You'd best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now, well, I'm crying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey, baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?

Dark and silent late last night
Think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say, "I'm Going, I’m Going”
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

It's with a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still, I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it looks like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
I said can't you just feel the moonshine?
And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?

When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Well, I'm already gone, I'm gone
Say nice things about me 'cause I'm gone, South, I'm gone
You got to carry on without me, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind, yeah
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Working Class Man
Jimmy Barnes
Working hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
A father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his veins
Whoa-oh-oh, he's a working class man

Well, he's a STEEL town disciple
He's a legend of his kind
He's running like a cyclone
Across the wild mid-western sky
Oh-oh-oh, he's a working class man

He believes in God and Elvis
He gets out when he can
He did his time in Vietnam
Still mad at Uncle Sam
He's a simple man
With a heart of gold
In a complicated land
Oh, he's a working class man

Well, he loves a little woman
Someday he'll make his wife
Saving all the overtime
For the one love of his life

He ain't worried about tomorrow
Because he just made up his mind
Life's too short for burning bridges
I take it one day at a time

Oh-oh-oh, he's a working class man
Oh-oh-oh, he's a working class man
Oh, yeah
Yes, he is
Well, he's a working class man
Oh
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
I tell you he's a working class man

Working class, working class man
Yes, he is
Working class, working class man
I've got to tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man, oh-oh
Working class, working class man
I tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man
Yes, he is
Working class, working class man

I can hear it calling me the way it used to do
I can hear it calling me back home

Babe, I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it calling me
I said don't you hear it calling me the way it used to do?

I know I know, I know

Alcohol and Pills
Fred Eaglesmith
Hank Williams, he came up from Montgomery
With a heart full of broken country songs
And Nashville Tennessee didn't really understand him
'Cause he did things differently than the way that they were done
When he finally made it to the Grand Ole Opry, he made it stand still
He ended up on alcohol and pills

Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson
With a brand new way of singin', Lord, and a brand new way of dancin'
And even from the waist up, Lord, he gave the world a thrill
He ended up on alcohol and pills

Alcohol and pills, it's a cryin' shame
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
But fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills

Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless
And then there was Gram Parsons,
Lord, and then there was Jimmy Hendrix
The story just goes on and on and I guess it always will
They ended up on alcohol and pills

Alcohol and pills, its a cryin' shame
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
But fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills

Sometimes, somebody just doesn't wake up one day
Sometimes, it's a heart attack, sometimes they just don't say
But they pulled poor old Hank
Williams out of a Cadillac Coupe de Ville
He ended up on alcohol and pills

Alcohol and pills, its a cryin' shame
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
But fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills

Woodstock
Joni Mitchell
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
And this he told me

"I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
I'm gonna try an' get my soul free"

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

"Then can I walk beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning"

"Well, maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who l am
But you know, life is for learning"

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere, there was song and celebration

And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down
Kris Kristofferson
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert

Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoked my brain the night before on
Cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Cussin' at a can that he was kicking

Then I crossed the empty street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin'
That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way

On the Sunday morning sidewalks
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone

And there's nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday mornin' comin' down

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin' little girl who he was swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Listened to the song that they were singin'

Then I headed back for home
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On the Sunday morning sidewalks
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone

And there's nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday mornin' comin' down

Give Me One Reason
Tracy Chapman
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around

Oh and rock me through the night
This youthful heart can love you
Yes and give you what you need
I said this youthful heart can love you

Oh and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasin' you around
Wastin' my precious energy
Give me one reason to stay here

Yes and I'll turn right back around
(You can see me turnin')
Give me one reason to stay here
Oh I'll turn right back around
(You can see me turnin')

Said I don't want leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind
Baby just give me one reason
Oh give me just one reason why

Baby just give me one reason
Oh give me just one reason why I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you
And there ain't no more to say

From St Kilda To Kings Cross
Paul Kelly
From St Kilda to Kings Cross is thirteen hours on a bus
I pressed my face against the glass and watched the white lines rushing past
And all around me felt like all inside me
And my body left me and my soul went running

Have you ever seen Kings Cross when the rain is falling soft?
I came in on the evening bus, from Oxford Street I cut across
And if the rain don't fall too hard
Everything shines just like a postcard
Everything goes on just the same
Fair-weather friends are the hungriest friends
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands

I want to see the sun go down from St Kilda Esplanade
Where the beach needs reconstruction,
where the palm trees have it hard
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour (all that land, all that water)
For that one sweet promenade
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour (all that land, all that water)
For that one sweet promenade

If I Were A Carpenter
Tim Hardin
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me?

Save my love for sorrow
Save my love for lonely
I've given you my tomorrow
And love you always

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me quick, "Tim how could? How could I put you above me?"

If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colour box
Soft shoes shining

Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my only-ness
Give me your tomorrow

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

Sorry about the absence of lyrics but they are on the video .

From Galway to Graceland
Richard Thompson
Oh she dressed in the dark
and she whispered amen
she was pretty in pink
like a young girl again
twenty years married
and she never thought twice
she sneaked out the door
and walked into the night
and silver wings carried her
over the sea
from the west coast of ireland
to west tennessee
to be with her sweetheart,
oh she left everything
from galway to graceland to be with the king
She was humming suspicion,
that's the song she liked best
she had elvis i love you
tattooed on her breast
when they landed in memphis,
well, her heart beat so fast
she'd dreamed for so long,
now she'd see him at last
she was down by his graveside
day after day
come closing time they
would pull her away
ah to be with her sweetheart,
oh she'd left everything
from galway to graceland to be with the king
Ah, they came in their thousands
from the whole human race
to pay their respects
at his last resting place
but blindly she knelt there
and she told him her dreams
and she thought that he answered
or that's how it seems
then they dragged her away
it was handcuffs this time
she said "my good man are you out of your mind?"
don't you know that we're married?
see, i'm wearing his ring.
from galway to graceland to be with the king.
i come from galway to graceland to be with the king.

That’s a very good song

May You Never
John Martyn
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold

Are you mean like a sweet and crazy brother to me
You know I love you like I should
And you never talk dirty behind my back
Know that there's ways who would

Oh please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
And please won't you, please won't
You bear it in mind, just for me.

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold

Are you're just like a sweet and simple sister to me
You know I love you like I should
You hold no blade to stab me in my back
You know that there's some of them that would

Oh please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
And please won't you,
Please won't you bear it in mind for me.

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold.

Are you mean like a sweet, crazy brother to me
I try to love you like I should
And you hold an old blade to stab me in my heart
And I know that there's some of them that would

Oh please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
And please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind for me.

And may you never lose your temper
If you get in a bar room fight
May you never lose your lover overnight
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold.

May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down

Goldwatch Blues
Donovan

I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July
Personnel man, he questioned me until I nearly cried
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer

"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"

He asked me how many jobs I'd had before
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered, "Four"
"Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be"
"We only take on men who work until they die"

"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"

He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line
"This is where we bury them, in quick-stone and in lime"
"And if you come to work for us, on this you must agree
That if you're going to die, please, do it during tea break"

"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"

This story that you heard you may think rather queer
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear
I did not want no job upon the board
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor

"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"

Great song

‘ ‘Willin'"
Little Feat
I been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know
And I'm still... willin'

And I was out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice

I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin'... to be movin'

Well, I've been kicked by the wind
Robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in
But I'm still on my feet
And I'm still... willin'

I smuggled some smokes
And folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun
Every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still...

And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin'... to be movin'

I thought so too

Dizzy
Tommy Roe
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy

First time that I saw you, girl
I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you
With fellas hanging 'round you all the time
I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playing hard to get
I'm going around in circles all the time

Dizzy
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy

I finally got to talk to you
And I told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me
And kissed you and my heart began to melt
Girl, you've got control of me
'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help

Dizzy
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it's you girl making it spin
You're making me dizzy
You're making me dizzy
I'm so dizzy
You're making me dizzy

The Second Time Around
Frank Sinatra
Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
It makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm, oh, so glad we met the second time around

Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm very glad we met the second time around

As a youth I tasted my cum twice, then married and never tried it again until I was about 60, I liked it.
Then I had surgery, and no more cum, but I still get precum

One Magic Moment
Bad Suns
Man walking a tightrope
Girl and her high hopes
Fall from the sky
Change of plans
Riding a cyclone
Dodging a headstone
I want what's mine

Right then the walls came falling
A voice came calling
The night it rained in LA
Mirror, ask me why
I don't act surprised

I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates
I'm on my way

Smoke smothers a hillside
Blind in my mind's eye
My city's on fire
One more joke
Lacking a punchline
Realized sci-fi
I'm in denial

Right then the walls came falling
A voice came calling
The night it rained in your eyes
Mirror, ask me why
I don't act surprised

I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates
I'm on my way

We go on about nothing
Just to talk about something
I'm on my way

I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates
I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates
I'm on my way

Ooh-ooh, yeah yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah yeah
