And the next line of same song:
"The future's uncertain, and the end is always near"

"It’s just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn’t pay it any mind
It’s just a shadow you’re seein’ that he’s chasing"

"Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan

"All Along the Watchtower" Bob Dylan.
"There must be some way out of here" said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion", I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late".

Danny Boy is another one. It's terribly sentimental and many people can't listen without shedding a tear. Often only the first 2 verse are sung but here's the full 4 verses.

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From glen to glen and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling.
It's you, It's you, must go, and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow.
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

But if you come, and all the flowers are dying,
And I am dead, as dead I well may be.
You'll come and find the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I will know, tho' soft ye tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be.
And you'll bend down and tell me that you love me
And I will rest in peace until you come to me.

Bodies revvin' in leather heaven in wonder
Lights are dimmin' and heads are swimmin'
As thunder hits the STAGE
Hell breaks loose turn on the juice get stronger
We metal maniacs begin to RAVE!

Well, I just roll them dice
And I pray for stray guns
Lonely war zone that I defend
Lonely war zone, my only friend....

TERRITORY - It's just the body of a nation
The people that inhabit it make its configuration
PREJUDICE - Something we all can do without
'Cause a flag of many colors is what this land is all ABOUT!

False sense of pride - satisfies
There's no reason for suicide
Use your mind and hope to find
Find the meaning of existence

I'm liking House of Memories a lot right now. Discovered it when they played it at the openings of the Rockies games this season.

"And when your fantasies become your legacy,
promise me a place in your house of memories."

Here's some grade A ear candy from a guy who can deliver, and the lyrics are very cool throughout the whole song, not just this first part. Dial it up and listen to it! Not metal, just a little punch-in-the-mouth blues rock!


Life in London is bittersweet
Spray can slogans along the street
Some kind of revolution in the town
Aw, razor blades and safety pins, you look like a clown

What's goin' down?
It's just the same ol' sound
You know that energy
Has always been the drug for meeeeeeeee, yeah!

Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes

Judas Priest - Hell Bent For Leather




You see, that last line is the key to the whole thing.........."Yet know one knows......from......where.... he......comes" Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

"Wide-angle watcher
On life's ancient tales
Steeped in the history of London
Green and Grey washes
In a wispy white veil
Mist in the streets of Westminster
Wistful and weathered
The pride still prevails
Alive in the streets of the city"

Metalhead. Is it possible that Ted Nugent was a Gary Glitter fan? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hPoOOhXg-k

No-one is these days, due to his criminal record.

P.S It could be that certain minds think alike - bet they sat up all night thinking up the lyrics anyway.

Sorry, I meant Metalmad, I'm a bit woozy celebrating in the run up to New Year's Day.
