Song lyric stuck in my head...

[Athena]

It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
the river's going to weep,
and the mountain's going to shout Amen!

-Leonard Cohen

[Demetrius]

She's come undone
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late

-The Guess Who

[Lady Nicolette]

Love all of the last three!  I've had an old song by The Move rustling around, I've been listening to a compilation of their days together long ago...There's some really cool cello and otherwise orchestral parts, and a really bright pop sensibility to the tune, like much of what Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood did together...

Beautiful Daughter

There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again

Blast the world, fruits of the morning...
Carry the weight of the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today, today

Your beautiful daughter made me younger today
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today, today

Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, again

Your beautiful daughter made me younger today
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye
I'm crying, beautiful daughter give me more, open the door

[Rani Zemirah]

DIDN'T LEAVE NOTHING BUT THE BABY

go to sleep you little baby
go to sleep you little baby
your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
don't leave nobody but the baby

go to sleep you little baby
go to sleep you little baby
everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
didn't leave nobody but the baby

your sweet little baby
your sweet little baby
honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop
gonna bring a bottle to the baby

don't you weep pretty baby
don't you weep pretty baby
she's long gone with her red shoes on
gonna need another loving baby

go to sleep little baby
go to sleep little baby
you and me and the devil makes three
don't need no other loving baby

go to sleep you little baby
go to sleep you little baby
come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
and be my ever loving baby

[Welsh Wench]

When I was six or seven, Mama tucked me in
With a lullaby and they made my eyes open wide again
I'd lie awake an' wonder why a boy named Billy Joe,
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge to a river far below

Blame it on Mama, an' the songs she loved singin'
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing
Don't come from Alabama or hail from Tennessee
Just blame it Mama, she sang
The country into me

I just loved to listen as she sang those story songs
'Bout a Coat Of Many Colors, or a girl named Delta Dawn
When The Lights Went out In Georgia, I would beg for just one more
All about Fancy and the pretty red satin dancin' dress she wore

Oh, blame it on Mama, an' the songs she loved singin'
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing
Don't come from Alabama or hail from Tennessee
Just blame it Mama, she sang
The country into me

I'm a Coal Miner's Daughter
Lovin' that preacher's son
I have walked the Streets Of Laredo
Stared down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I've grown roots an' I've got claims
To places I've never been
An' when I sing those songs it takes me
Right back home again

Oh, blame it on Mama, an' the songs she loved singin'
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing
Don't come from Alabama or hail from Tennessee
Just blame it Mama, she sang
The country into me

[Demetrius]

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are

[Taffy Saltwater]

I got a hotrod Ford & a two dollar bill
& I know a place right over the hill

These two lines have been running around my skull like a hamster on a wheel for over a week.  ARRGGHH!

[Malkavian]

Oh, well, who wouldn't be a sailor lad, a sailin'on the main,
To gain the goodwill of his captain's good name
A He came ashore, one evening for to be,
And that was the beginning of my own true love and me, for it's

Chorus:

Home, boys, home, home I'd like to be,
Home for a while in the old Country
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a growing greener in the north Country

Well I asked her for a candle for to light me up to bed,
And likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head,
She tended to me needs like a young maid ought to do,
So then I says to her, now won't you leap in with me too and it's

Chorus

Well she jumped into bed, making no alarm,
Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm.
Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole night long,
Till she wished the short night had been nine years long, and it's

Chorus

Well early next morning the sailor lad arose,
And into Mary's apron threw a handful of gold, saying,
Take this me dear, for the mischief that I've done,
For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a son", and it's

Chorus

Well, if it be a girl child, send her out to nurse,
With gold in her pocket and with silver in her purse,
And if it be a boy child he'll wear the jacket blue
And go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do", and it's

Chorus

Oh come all of you fair maidens, a warning take by me,
And never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee,
For I trusted one and he beguiled me
He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee, and it's

Chorus

[Demetrius]

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I cant, till I cant, till I cant take no more of it
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down


-Talking Heads

[Raibeart OShea]

They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"

WHole wide world....the wreckless eric version...not the monkees....

When I was a young boy, my momma she said to me:
Theres only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in tahiti
Or maybe in the bahamas
Where the caribbean sea is blue
Weepin away in the tropical night
Because nobodys told her bout you

Id go the whole wide world
Id go the whole wide world
Just to find her
Id go the whole wide world
Id go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Yeah!

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Tryin to think of a girl
Why are my eyes fillin up with these lonely tears
When theres girls all over the world?
Or is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneat the tropical sun
Hiding away in the heat wave there
Hopin that I wont be long?

Id go the whole wide world
Id go the whole wide world
Just to find her
Id go the whole wide world
Id go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
[repeat]

Hey, Demetrius---

Life, so they say, is but a game and they let it slip away
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again

Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage
Sail our ships out on the open sea
Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again

So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy
I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby

We may never pass this way again.....

[Lady Nicolette]

The Prince's Panties by Mason Williams

There was once a prince who acted strangely in that
He thought life was stupid and it was for him so
He made up a world in which he liked the things we liked
But he had different reasons why he liked them

He liked butter for its color
He would order toast and color
Waitresses, confused would utter
Sir, I've never heard of toast and color

He'd get angry and begin to choke them
The law would come, and they'd arrest and book him
So his life was a mess of trouble
Still he kept it up

He had dogs, a hundred cocker spaniels and he
Called them panties, 'cause they did that mostly, and he
Did not care at all if they would bark and fetch sticks
Run and jump, roll over, and play dead tricks

No, he liked them only for their panting
So he would run them ragged, but one day they got fed up
And chased the prince right up against the fence
And the prince was eaten by his panties

[Demetrius]

Hey Welsh Wench- (Seals & Crofts- goosebumps  )

The season of life is here
And the reason to live is clear
We've waited 'till who knows when
For the time to begin again
It's more than the change of time
It's something that's in all our minds
That no matter where or when
For endings are only
Places where all things begin
And the end is near
Of things we have grown to fear
We worry and reason why
With the times that change our lives
But more than the changing time
Is the image in all our minds
Of where it should be or when
For endings are always
Places where all things begin
Oh, look at the sun
On every stage, in everyone
Ah, stand in the light
As we get on, we will put up a fight
(Places where) all things begin...

-Ambrosia- Endings

[Sir William Marcus]

All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water
Water, water, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?

Cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water
