[COLOR=SandyBrown]Clear light on a slick palm
as I mis-deal the day
Slip the night from a shaved pack
make a marked card play
Call twilight hours down
from a heaven home
high above the highest bidder
for the good Lord's throne

In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill ---
oh, and we'll watch the old gods play
by Dun Ringill


We'll wait in stone circles
`til the force comes through ---
lines joint in faint discord
and the stormwatch brews
a concert of kings
as the white sea snaps
at the heels of a soft prayer
whispered

In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill ---
oh, and I'll take you quickly
by Dun Ringill[/COLOR]

'Locomotive Breath'

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all-time loser,
Headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
Steam breaking on his brow --
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
In bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees --
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling --
Catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideon's Bible --
Open at page one --
God stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.

old skool

I first heard this about 1970 and I've listened to them ever since

Nothing is easy.
Though time gets you worrying
my friend, it's o.k.
Just take your life easy
and stop all that hurrying,
be happy my way.

When tension starts mounting
and you've lost count
of the pennies you've missed,
just try hard and see why they're not worrying me,
they're last on my list.
Nothing's easy.

Nothing is easy, you'll find
that the squeeze won't turn out so bad.
Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea,
there's good times to be had.
So if you're alone and you're down to the bone,
just give us a play.
You'll smile in a while and discover
that I'll get you happy my way --
nothing's easy.


but as soon as I hear
"Really don't mind if you sit this one out."
I reach for the green :D

I find it difficult to understand that you haven't at least heard the radio version of "Thick as a brick" if nothing else

Gnome

Gnome
02-15-2006, 08:02 PM
tull & ZZ top?

She's got legs

she knows how to use them...
Yes, and her legs went on for ever.
Like staring up at infinity
She want a pearl necklace...

and a party on the patio

with a naked cowgirl by an invisable 7-11
like some weird unearthly vision
wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.

/flute solo canceled due to crazy long beard.

Gnome
02-16-2006, 07:49 PM
they need to have a special ministry to remove pixelation from various parts upon leaving Japan.

xen
02-16-2006, 07:52 PM
