The word for Thursday, November 21, PLEA or PLEAD

Billy Joel, AN INNOCENT MAN

Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie

I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you

But I'm not above making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an INNOCENT man

I am an INNOCENT man
Oh, yes I am

Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore

I know you don't wanna hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there

And if I can survive I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me, I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an INNOCENT man

I am an INNOCENT man
Oh, yes I am
An INNOCENT man

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision

But I'm not below anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an INNOCENT man

I am an INNOCENT man
Oh, yes I am
An INNOCENT man

Oh ho ho ho

Don Henley, THE END OF THE INNOCENCE

Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly

But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the INNOCENCE

O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie

But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the INNOCENCE

Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye

Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the INNOCENCE

Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, THE GAME OF LOVE

The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The GAME of love, love, la la la la la love
It started long ago in the Garden of Eden
When Adam said to Eve, "Baby, you're for me"
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The GAME of love, love, la la la la la love
Come on baby 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the GAME of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The GAME of love, love, la la la la la love
Come on baby 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the GAME of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The GAME of love, love, la la la la la love
The GAME of love baby, the GAME of la la la la love
The GAME of love baby, the GAME of la la la la love
The GAME of love baby

Uh, I think she ought to consider shaving her shoulders.

For anyone that has the opportunity to order and eat Unicorn fish, do it! I had never heard of it and was skeptical about ordering it the other day for lunch. Thought that the name was some "cutsie" name assigned to disguise something that might be unsavory or disgusting. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised!

Ricky Nelson, GARDEN PARTY

I went to a garden party
To reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
And play our songs again
When I got to the garden party
They all knew my name
But no one recognized me
I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
And over in the corner
Much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes
Wearing his disguise
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
I played them all the old songs
I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music
We didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou"
She belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk
It was time to leave
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a ringing a bell
And lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang
I'd rather drive a truck
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
And it's all right now, yeah
Learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself

Elvis, DON'T BE CRUEL

You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
Please, let's forget my past
The FUTURE looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of, mmh
Don't stop thinking of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart
Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I'll know that I'll have you
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of

The word for Thursday, November 14, FOCUS

Genesis, LAND OF CONFUSION

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of CONFUSION?
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, Superman, where are you now?
When every thing's gone wrong somehow?
Men of steel, these men of power
I'm losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of CONFUSION
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake up this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of CONFUSION?
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

Led Zeppelin, DAZED AND CONFUSED

Been dazed and CONFUSED for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talkin', few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
You hurt and abuse, tellin' all of your lies
Run 'round, sweet baby, Lord, how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you been
Gonna love you, baby, here I come again
Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard-earned pay
Try to love you, baby
But you push me away
Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby
I want you again
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Did you ever look up my woman?)
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Aah-ah, aah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Aah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aah
Oh, yeah, alright
Been dazed and CONFUSED
For so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman
Never bargained for you
Take it easy, baby
Let them say what they will
Tongue wag so much
When I send you the bill
Oh yeah, alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Led Zeppelin, ALL OF MY LOVE

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you, now

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Arianne one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin

Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love for you now
All of my love, all of my love, yes
All of my love to you, child

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the FORCE that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, oh yes
All of my love to you
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love!
Sometimes, sometimes
Hey hey hey hey, ooh yeah
It's all all all
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you, now
I get a little bit lonely
Just a little, just a little
Just a little bit lonely
Just a little bit lonely

Robert Palmer, SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE

How can it be permissible?
She compromise my principle, yeah, yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical

She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful FORCE
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other course
She used to look good to me
But now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

Her loving is so powerful
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible

She's a natural law
And she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause
I surrender because
She used to look good to me
But now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)

She's unavoidable
I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I'm breaking promises
She's breaking every law
She used to look good to me
Now I find her

Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)

Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable
She's so completely kissable
Our lives are indivisible

She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other course
She used to look good to me
But now I find her

Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)
Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)

Simply irresistible!

The word for Tuesday, November 12, FORCE

Bee Gees, HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE

I know your eyes in the mornin' sun
I feel you touch me in the pourin' rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breakin' us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall

And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breakin' us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na

And you come to me on a summer BREEZE
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn (I really mean to learn)
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breakin' us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
(Na-na-na-na-na)

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breakin' us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
(Na-na-na-na-na)

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breakin' us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Harry Nilsson, EVERYBODY'S TALKIN'

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer BREEZE
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer BREEZE
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
Wah, wah
I won't let you leave my love behind

John Denver, COUNTRY ROAD

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a BREEZE

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

I didn't see this until now. Me and my stolen cat with one on her kittens were on the road first thing Friday morning and making our way to Florida. We arrived in LaBelle about 4pm yesterday, 91 degrees and humid as heck!

Actually, I know her!

I meant to post this hours ago, on November 10....... November 10, 1975, forty-nine years ago, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior.

"SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes and remains the largest to have sunk there. She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975, by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces."

SS Edmund Fitzgerald was immortalized in a song by Gordon Lightfoot, THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
[Former version:] That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
[Latter version:] That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early

The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
Then later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
When the wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too
'Twas the witch of November come stealin'
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashin'
When afternoon came it was freezing rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck
Saying, "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya."
[Former version:] At seven PM a main hatchway caved in
[Latter version:] At seven PM it grew dark, it was then
He said, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya."
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went out of sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below, Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered

[Former version:] In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
[Latter version:] In a rustic old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early

The word for Sunday, November 10, CHURCH

Eagles, TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT

All alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the LIMIT one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the LIMIT one more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT one more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
One more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
Come on and
Take it to the LIMIT
One more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
You got to
Take it to the LIMIT
One more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
One more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
Come on and
Take it to the LIMIT
One more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
One more time

Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
Take it to the LIMIT
One more time

Fleetwood Mac, SILVER SPRINGS

You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashin'
I would be your only dream
Your shinin' autumn ocean crashin'
Don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't want to know
So I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me, no
Don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't want to know
Oh no
And can you tell me was it worth it?
Baby, I don't want to know
Time cast a SPELL on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
Time cast a SPELL on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you
Give me just a chance
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you
Was I such a fool?
I'll follow you down til' the sound of my voice will haunt you
Give me just a chance
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you
Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice

Annie Lenox, I PUT A SPELL ON YOU

I put a SPELL on you
Because you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I tell you, I ain't lying
I ain't lying
You know I can't stand it
You're running around
You know better, daddy
I can't stand it 'cause you put me down
Oh, no
I put a SPELL on you
Because you're mine
You know I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care
If you don't want me
I'm yours right now
I put a SPELL on you
Because you're mine
You know I can't stand it
You're running around
You know better, daddy
I can't stand it 'cause you put me down
Ooh-hoo-ooh
I put a SPELL on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine
Because you're mine
Oh
Yeah

Blues Brothers, EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART

I've been trying to get to you for a long time
Cause constantly you've been on my mind
I was thinking 'bout a short cut that I could take
But I found I made a mistake

I was wrong
It took too long
I got caught in a rush hour
Fellows started to SHOWER
you with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way

At five o'clock it's much too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Too crowded for me
Couldn't get through to you baby
Oh, it's too crowded

Well there're too many in back of me
And they're all tryin' to get in front of me
I was thinking I saw a road up ahead
But I saw a stoplight instead

I was wrong
It took too long
I got caught in a rush hour
Fellows started to SHOWER
you with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way

I was wrong
It took too long
I got caught a rush hour
Fellows started to SHOWER
you with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way
That expressway to your heart
That espressway that's the best way

At five o'clock it's too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Too crowded
Too crowded for me
Just couldn't get through baby
Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded
Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded

Dolly Parton, 9 TO 5

Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch
And try to come to life

Jump in the SHOWER
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street
The traffic starts jumpin'
The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5,
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

They let you dream
Just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams
He'll never take away

You're in the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'N' the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

9 to 5, whoa
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

Working 9 to 5

The word for Thursday, November 7, SHOWER

I prefer the version recorded by the Troggs.

Art Garfunkel, ALL I KNOW

I bruise you, you bruise me
We both bruise too easily
Too easily to let it show
I love you, and that's all I know

All my plans have fallen through
All my plans DEPEND on you
DEPEND on you to help them grow
I love you, and that's all I know

When the singer's gone
Let the song go on...

But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast, but they pass too slow
I love you, and that's all I know

When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn
They say the darkest night
There's a light beyond

But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast, but they pass too slow
I love you, and that's all I know
That's all I know
That's all I know

Supertramp, BLOODY WELL RIGHT

So you think your schooling is phony
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all DEPENDS on money
And who is in your family tree

Right, (Right), you're bloody well right
You got a bloody right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Ha-ha, you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Yeah, yeah, you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway

Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry, no, I shouldn't say wail
In the meantime, hush your face

Right, (Quite right), you're bloody well right
You got a bloody right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Ha-ha, you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Yeah, yeah, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say

You got a bloody right to say
You got a bloody right to say
You got a bloody right to say
You got a bloody right to say, yeah

That's an odd supposition, what makes you believe that?

What do her proposals do for those folks no longer working?

Who is leading at the polls?

The Cars, LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them BRUSH your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll, oh
Let the good times roll

Let the stories be told
Let them say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll, oh
Won't you let the good times roll

Good times roll

If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll, oh
Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll
Well, let the good times roll
Let 'em roll
Good times roll

Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Ooh, let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (Good times roll)

Well, let the good times roll (Let the good times roll)
Let the good times roll (Good times roll)
(Let the good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Let 'em roll

Bruce Springsteen, PINK CADILLAC

Well now you may think I'm foolish
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby you know you bug me
There ain't no secret 'bout that
Well come on over here and hug me
Baby I'll spill the facts
Well honey it ain't your money
'Cause baby I got plenty of that
I love you for your PINK Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Cruising down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
Well now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you, man, with silver
And they tempt you, sir, with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures
That the flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
But man I ain't going for that
I know it was her PINK Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what it feels like in the back
Of your PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
Now some folks say it's too big
And uses too much gas
Some folks say it's too old
And that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a Honda
Yeah, it's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it
Honey we can park it out in the back
And have a party in your PINK Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Cruising down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
PINK Cadillac
Pink Cadillac
PINK Cadillac

Eagles, HOTEL CALIFORNIA

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine."
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine."
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The PINK champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave!"

This is a very interesting and useful hack!

The word for Monday, November 4, PINK

Rod Stewart, TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door, too
Disconnect the telephone line
RELAX baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Come on angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Mon Dieu, qu'est-ce qu'il va devenir?
Mon amour viens, putain, embrasse-moi
Oh, je t'adore beaucoup
Ça veut rien donner
Ah oui, c'est pénible, hein?
Oh, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime beacoup
Et cette nuit, oh...
Ah, cette nuit, oh...

And that was my "immediate choice".

Oh.
