Forty Hour Week - Alabama

There are people in this country who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay
And it's time a few of them were recognized

Hello Detroit auto workers, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty HOUR week for a livin' just to send it on down the line
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty HOUR week for a livin', a-just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who swings the hammer, driving home the nail
Or the one behind the counter, ringing up the sale
Or the one who fights the fires, the one who brings the mail
For everyone who works behind the scenes

You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields
In the city streets and the quiet country towns
Working together like spokes inside a wheel
They keep this country turning around

Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty HOUR week for a livin',a-just to send it on down the line
Hello West Virginia coal miner, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty HOUR week for a livin', just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the road
Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load
Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol
For everyone who works behind the scenes

With a spirit you can't replace with no machine
Hello America let me thank you for your time

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight HOUR
That's when my love come tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
And do all things I told you, in the midnight hour
Yes I am, oh, yes I am
One more thing I just wanna say right here
I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl I know
That really love me so, in the midnight hour
Oh yeah, in the midnight hour
Yeah, alright, play it for me one time now
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love come tumbling down
I'm gonna wait, way in the midnight hour
That's when my love begin to shine, just you and I
Oh, baby, huh, just you and I
Nobody around, baby, just you and I
Alright, you know what?
I'm gonna hold you in my arms, just you and I
Oh yeah, in the midnight hour
Oh baby, in the midnight hour

Jackie - Scott Walker

And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I borrowed from a coffee bar
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And when I gave them some they'd know
I'd expect something in return
I'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about virility
With some old grandmama
That might be decked out like a Christmas tree
And though pink elephants I'd see
Though I'd be drunk as I could be
Still I would sing my song to me
About the time they called me "Jackie"
If I could be for only an HOUR
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
A cute cute, in a stupid-ass way
And if I joined the social whirl
Became procurer of young girls
Then I would have my own bordellos
My record would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whiskey that came from Twickenham
Authentic queers and phony virgins
If I had banks on every finger
A finger in every country
And all the countries ruled by me
I'd still know where I'd want to be
Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some china men
I'd sing the song that I sang then
About the time they called me "Jackie"
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
A cute cute, in a stupid-ass way
Now, tell me, wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies up there
And they would sing along with me
And we be so happy there to be
'Cause down below is really nowhere
And if my name were Juniper
Then I would know where I was going
And then I would become all knowing
My beard so very long and flowing
If I became deaf, dumb and blind
Because I pitied all mankind
And broke my heart to make things right
I'd know that every single night
When my angelic work was through
The angels and the Devil too
Would sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me "Jackie"
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
A cute cute, in a stupid-ass way

Gene Pitney, 24 HOURS FROM TULSA

Dearest darling I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
cause something happened to me while I was driving home
And I'm not the same anymore
Oh I was only 24 HOURS from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I saw her
As I pulled in outside of a small motel
She was there and so I walked up to her
Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where
Oh I was only 24 HOURS from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms
She took me to a cafe I asked her if she would stay
She said okay
Oh I was only 24 HOURS from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms
Oh the jukebox started to play
And night time turned into day as we were dancing closely
All of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms
And I caressed her, kissed her
Told her I'd die before I let her out of my arms
Oh I was only 24 HOURS from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But I love somebody new
What can I do
And I can never never never go home again

Last night a little dancer, she came dancing to my door
Last night, that little angel, she came pumping on my floor
She said, "Come on, baby, you got a license for love
And if it expires, I pray help from above"
Because
In the midnight HOUR she cried more, more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight HOUR, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell more, more, more
More, more, more!
She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely, yeah, she gives me head
I said, "What set you free and brought you to me, babe?"
"What set you free? I need you here by me"
Because
In the midnight HOUR she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell more, more, more, yow!
In the midnight HOUR, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell
More
I live in my own heaven
I collect it to go at the 7-11
Yes, I'm out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long as it don't fuck up my hair
I walked the ward for you, babe
A thousand miles for you
Now who dried my tears of pain, babe?
A million times for you, for you
I'd sell my soul for you, babe
What's money to burn for you, for you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Justa, justa have you here by me
Because
In the midnight HOUR she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more, yow!
In the midnight HOUR, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell more
More, more, more!
Ooh yeah, my little dancer
She want more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
She want more
More, more, more, more
Yeah!

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero HOUR: 9:00 AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man!
Burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man!
Burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all the science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man!
Burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man!
Burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

I can't stop loving you - Ray Charles

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy HOURS that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(Sing a song, children)
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

Valerie June - The Hour

I was on my way back home
My heart was like a stone
With the stars up in the sky
As they watched us say goodbye
It won't hide or disguise my love
You cry as we say goodbye
The time was slow
I didn't want to see you go
Oh no, oh no

The hour won't tell you no lies
The hour won't tell you no lies
Tell you no lies for the sky
The hour won't tell you no lies

There were times he raised his hand
And I could not understand
But you know my memory
We never could agree
It won't hide or disguise time
Sweet time keeping me and mine
You stay true in spite of all of you
Oh wait, oh wait

The hour won't tell you no lies
The hour won't tell you no lies
Tell you no lies for the sky
The hour won't tell you no lies

The hour won't tell you no lies
The hour won't tell you no lies
Tell you no lies for the sky
The hour won't tell you no lies

Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour

In my hour of need
Ha, no, you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand
Through the darkest hour
Your grace did not shine on me
Feels so cold
Very cold, no one cares for me

Did you ever think I'd get lonely?
Did you ever think that I needed love?
Did you ever think to stop thinking?
You're the only one that I'm thinking of
You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better (Better, better)
When I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand
Knowing you, I'm probably wrong

But, oh, how I lived my life for you
'Til you turned away
Now, as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years, I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head
Raise your face, your eyes, tell me who you think you are

I walk, I walk alone
To the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please, God, send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone, I call to ease the pain, yearning to be held by you, alone
So alone, I'm lost, consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain; won't you hold me again?
You just laughed, ha-ha, bitch
Whole life is work built on the past, time has come
When all things shall pass, this good thing passed away

Small Faces - Song of a Baker

There's wheat in the field
And water in the stream
And salt in the mine
And an aching in me

I can longer stand and wonder
Cos I'm driven by this hunger

So I'll jug some water, bake some flour
Store some salt and wait the hour

When thinking of love
Love is thinking for me
And the baker will come
And the baker I'll be

I'm depending on my labour
The texture and the flavour

Hey!

I can no longer stand and wonder
Cos I'm driven by this hunger

So I'll jug some water, bake some flour
Store some salt and wait the hour

If I should stay, I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

AND I will always love you
I will always love you
You, my darling you, hm

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So, goodbye
Please, don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need

AND I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
AND I hope you have all you've dreamed of
AND I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

AND I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you

You, darling, I love you
Oh, I'll always, I'll always love you

A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash

only registered users can see external links

Well, my daddy left home when I was three
Didn't leave very much to my mom and me
Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that my daddy ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue
Well, he must've thought that it was quite a joke
AND I got a lot of laughs from a lots of folk
Seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
But I grew up quick AND I grew up mean
My fist got hard and my wits got keener
Roam from town to town to hide my shame
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
I'd search the honky tonks and bars
And kill that man that gave me that awful name
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
AND I just hit town and my throat was dry
Thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealing stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn out picture that my mother had
Knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent and gray and old
AND I looked at him and my blood ran cold
AND I said, "My name is Sue, how do you do?
Now you gonna die", that's what I told him
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
Then I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the walls and into the street
Kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer
Well, I tell you, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
Well, I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
And he reached for his gun but I pulled mine first
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along
So I give you that name, and I said goodbye
AND I knew you'd have to get tough or die
It's that name that helped to make you strong"
He said, "Now you just fought one heck of a fight
AND I know you hate me, and you got the right to kill me now
AND I wouldn't blame you if you do
But you ought to thank me, before I die
For the gravel in ya gut and the spit in ya eye
'Cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue"
What could I do?
Well, I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
I called him my pa, and he called me his son
Come away with a different point of view
AND I think about him, now and then
Every time I try and every time I win, and if I ever have a-
Well, if I ever have a boy, I'll name him
Frank or George or Bill or Tom, anything but Sue
I don't want him go around, man call him Sue all his life
That's a horrible thing to do to a boy trying to get a hold in the world
Named a boy a Sue

AndI Love You So - Perry Como

only registered users can see external links

AND I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me 'n' the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me, too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but life is dead
That is my belief
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming 'round

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then
I fall apart

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit helpless
And I'm lying like a child in your arms

I get a little bit angry
And I know I've got to get out and cry

AND I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
(Forever's gonna start tonight)

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know you'll never be the boy
You always wanted to be

(Turn around)
But every now and then
I know you'll always be the only boy
Who wanted me the way that I am

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know there's no one in the universe
As magical and wondrous as you

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know there's nothing any better
There's nothing that I just wouldn't do

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right

Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

You AND I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other

Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together

You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together

The impossible dream - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march, march into Hell
For that Heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable
The unreachable
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream the impossible dream
Yes, and I'll reach the unreachable star

Coming out of my cage AND I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his

Chest now, he takes off her
Dress now, let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
They're taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage AND I've been doing just fine

That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Friends In Low Places - Garth Brooks

(I had to pick a link with the 3rd verse)

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know, the last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
AND I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
AND I toasted you, said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong
But then I've been there before
Everything's all right, I'll just say good night
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK

Ooh yes we're comin' in loaded, Ooh yes we're comin' in loaded
I'll hold the boat steady brother like a rock

Oh well now yeah!
Oh well now yeah!
Yeah! we're comin' in loaded

I'm Gonna Miss Her - Brad Paisley

only registered users can see external links

Well I love her
And I love to FISH
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lake shore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

So I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lake shore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, another bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Fish on the table and FISH on the fire,
Fried fish hanging on the tree
Everything here that your heart desires,

We owe all this to the salty brine,
Thanks to the rolling sea

We work all day but our hearts are gay
And while we work we sing
The mighty sea is good to us
And we've got everything
Abalone steaks and tuna fish cakes,
Taste so heavenly
We know who we owe it to,
Thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling,
Thanks to the rolling sea
Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling,
Thanks to the rolling sea

This thing called love, I just can't handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly FISH
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my track's
Take a back seat (ah hum), hitch-hike (ah hum)
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love, I just can't handle it

I know jellyfish is one word, but I found the lyrics where it is two seperate words.

You judge, does this qualify as a song?

Redneck Stomp - Jeff Foxworthy

If you've ever been on television more than five times
Describing what the tornadoes sounded like
You might be a redneck.
If you've ever cut your grass and found a car
You might be a redneck.
If your dad walks you to school because your in the same grade
You might be a redneck.
If you've ever been too drunk to FISH...

If somebody asks to see your ID and you show them your belt buckle

If every day somebody comes to your house mistakenly thinking your having a
Yard sale.

If you've ever had to haul a can of paint to the top of a water tower to defend
Your sister's honor
You might be a redneck.
If your dog and your wallet are both on a chain.
You might be a redneck.

They always make fun of the way I talk, I keep telling them I said your gonna be
Real surprised when you get into the habit in St. Petersburg and say,
"Y'all get into the truck, we goin up to the big house."

If you've ever financed a tattoo

If you've ever made change in the offering plate
You might be a redneck.

We have words in the south they don't have in other parts of the country
Now, you come to the south, we have words like, yu'nt to.
We goin to the mall, yu'nt to?
What letter does that start with, does anybody know?
I like this word alot, aight.
That's a word in Texas, aight.
Round lunch time every day, you'll hear somebody say,
"Hey jeet yet, naw, dju? Yu'nt to? Aight."

If you go to the family reunion to meet women.

If you smoked during your wedding
You might be a redneck.
And last but not least
If you see a sign that says say no to crack,
And it reminds you to pull your jeans up
You might be a redneck.

Lazybones - Hoagy Carmichael

Oh-oh, you a good-for-nothing lazybones
Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice
Everything is nice
As long as there's a watermelon on the vine
Everything is fine
You got no time to work, you got no time to play
You're busy doin' nothing all the livelong day
But you won't ever change, no matter what I say
You're just made that way
Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
You'll never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the noonday sun
Lazy bones, sleeping in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your corn meal made
Sleeping in the evening shade
Now when them 'taters need sprayin' I know you keep prayin'
That the bugs fall off their vine
And when you go FISHing I bet you keep wishing
That the FISH won't grab at your line
You know, lazybones, loafin' all the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
You'll ever make a dime that way
You never hear a word I say
Now when them 'taters need sprayin' I know you keep prayin'
That the bugs fall off their vine
And when you go FISHing, I know you keep wishing
That the FISH won't grab at your line
You know, lazybones, loafin' all the day, tell me
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Oh, you'll ever make a dime that way, well lookee here
You never heared a word I say
A-sleepin' all the day, you a good-for-nothing lazybones

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a FISH could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight!

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

only registered users can see external links

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a FISH bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

hmmm....the song "John the fisherman" by Primus has been in my head all day...how strange

​The Jam - Smithers-Jones

Here we go again, it's Monday at last
He's heading for the Waterloo line
To catch the 8 a.m. fast, its usually dead on time
Hope it isn't late, got to be there by nine

Pin stripe suit, clean shirt and tie
Stops off at the corner shop, to buy The Times
'Good Morning Smithers-Jones'
'How's the wife and home?'
'Did you get the car you've been looking for?'
Let me get inside you, let me take control of you
We could have some good times
All this worry will get you down
I'll give you a new meaning to life - I don't think so

Sitting on the train, you're nearly there
You're part of the production line
You're the same as him, you're like tin-sardines
Get out of the pack, before they peel you back

Arrive at the office, spot on time
The clock on the wall hasn't yet struck nine
'Good Morning Smithers Jones'
'The boss wants to see you alone'
'I hope its the promotion you've been looking for'

Let me get inside you, let me take control of you
We could have some good times
All this worry will get you down
I'll give you a new meaning to life - I don't think so

'Come in Smithers old boy'
'Take a seat, take the weight off your feet'
'I've some news to tell you'
'There's no longer a position for you' -

Put on the kettle and make some tea
It's all a part of feeling groovy
Put on your slippers turn on the TV
It's all a part of feeling groovy
It's time to relax, now you've worked your arse off
But the only one smilin' is the sun tanned boss
Work and work and work and work till you die
There's plenty more fish in the sea to fry

Primus - Fish On (Fisherman Chronicles, Chapter II)

Felt a pang late one afternoon
I was fishin' off Muir beach with Larry LaLonde
Grabbed a tuna salad sandwich and I started to chew
Pretty soon Ler's yellin', "Fish on"
Fish on

I was just a little pup and it was derby day
It was dad and me and Darrell out in San Pablo bay
Taco-flavored Doritos and my orange life vest
Dad caught a hundred pound sturgeon on twenty-pound test
Now he fought that fish for 'bout an hour and a half
Darrell'd say "Jump ya sons a bitch" and he grabbed for the gaff
When we got him in the boat he measured six foot long
I was so danged impressed I had to write this song called "Fish On"
Fish on
Fish on
Fish on

T'was a bright and sunny day, it was me and Todd Huth
Fishin' shark and stingray out of Bolinas Lagoon
Well, hey, hey, hey, I'll be screwed, blued and tattooed
Looks like I got me one of them fish on
Fish on
Fish on
Fish on
Fish on
Fish on
Fish on
Fish on
Fish on
