From 'Echoes' by Pink Floyd Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks And no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky.

Both Sides the Tweed by Dick Gaughan What's the spring-breathing jasmine and rose? What's the summer with all its gay train Or the splendour of autumn to those Who've bartered their freedom for gain? Let the love of our land's sacred rights To the love of our people succeed Let friendship and honour unite And flourish on both sides the Tweed. No sweetness the senses can cheer Which corruption and bribery bind No brightness that gloom can e'er clear For honour's the sum of the mind Let virtue distinguish the brave Place riches in lowest degree Think them poorest who can be a slave Them richest who dare to be free Reply #202.

'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Someday you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn to be Brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering As the battle raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell and The moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line in your palm We are fools to make war On our brothers in arms Reply #203.

I can't think of one song by Bob Seger that isn't just great, but this one is my favorite: "Turn The Page" by Bob Seger On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha You can listen to the engine Moanin' out his one-note song You can think about the woman Or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wandering The way they always do When you're ridin' sixteen hours And there's nothin' much to do And you don't feel much like ridin' You just wish the trip was through Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Well you walk into a restaurant Strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you As you're shakin' off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you But you just want to explode Most times you can't hear 'em talk, Other times you can All the same old cliches, "Is that a woman or a man?" And you always seem outnumbered, You don't dare make a stand Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Out there in the spotlight You're a million miles away Every ounce of energy You try to give away As the sweat pours out your body Like the music that you play Later in the evening As you lie awake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiers Ringin' in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette, Rememberin' what she said Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go There I go Songwriters: Bob Seger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GONmFCkCGCc Reply #204.

sadwings, that's stealing. I'm fairly certain Stagedork is the one who came up with your one fish, two fish song. Expect to hear from their lawyer soon, mister! :) "Then the conversation stopped, and I looked down at the ring Your folks were next to you, and you were right there next to me And I said girl!

Ha! Stagedork! As long as I live, I really don't think I'll ever make up a name for a band that I like better than that one, and I've made up a bunch of them, believe me! :-p Yo, Mix, which one is Pink and which one is Floyd in that Pink Floyd band? :-p Okay, here's one that I really believe changed the world - at least for a little while. Went to a party the other night All the ladies were treating me right Moving my feet to the disco beat How in the world could I keep my seat? All of a sudden I began to change I was on the dance floor acting strange Flapping my arms I began to cluck Look at me.....I'm the Disco Duck! :-) Disco Duck - Rick Dees Reply #206.

Well, I'm scared, scared out of my mind Got Duels to fight and triv hounds are all that I'll find Hold on! Who goes there?! I'm scared of every move Gotta calm myself down, gotta get in the groove I'm talkin' Duels I'm being put to the test These ain't no fools Gotta give it my best...….

You won't hear me But you'll feel me Without warning, something's dawning Listen... Then within your senses You'll know you're defenseless How your heart beats When you run for cover You can't retreat I spy like no other Then we'll race together We can ride forever Wrapped in horsepower Driving into fury Changing gear I pull you tighter to me I'm your turbo lover Tell me there's no other I'm your turbo lover Better run for cover We hold each other closer As we shift to overdrive And everything goes rushing by With every nerve alive We move so fast it seems as though We've taken to the sky Love machines in harmony We hear the engine's cry.... On and on we're charging To the place so many seek In perfect synchronicity Of which so many speak We feel so close to heaven In this roaring heavy load And then in sheer abandonment We shatter and explode I'm your turbo lover Tell me there's no other I'm your turbo lover Better run for cover Turbo Lover - Judas Priest Just another rocky and rolly tune brought to you by the crazy leather rebel warlord on the Harley. :-) Reply #209.

I watched my worlds collide It drove me underground I've been to hell and back And BEAT THE DEVIL DOWN I'm all I have I'm all I need The last survivor I fought and won And now I'm free The last survivor...... Hell's Last Survivor - Halford Reply #211. Feb 25 19, 6:12 PM |

I posted some of the words to this amazing song on page 10, post #188 of this thread, but here is the actual video which happens to be a live performance, and I just really can't believe I have not posted this before now. If any of you would like to see the true birth of rock and roll performed live in front of a lot of people, this is it right here. And Rock is gonna roll....

"We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our honour, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds....we shall fight in the fields and in the streets....we shall fight in the hills....we shall never surrender!" Winston Churchill **************************************************************** There goes the siren that warns of the air raid Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheel blocks, there's no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Got to get airborne before it's too late Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blind side and firing again Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us Ten ME 109s out of the sun Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high Aces High - Iron Maiden Reply #213.

Excellent tune, Jen. Excellent band. Here's a memorable little duet for the pages of the great history book of rock and roll...… You may not like the future And we're not here to preach to you We'll take you to the killing floor You think you want to know me You think you want to own me But I have nothing you can buy I can break you I can raise you Bring you to your knees 'Cause I'm the one you love to hate You can't fool me You can't rule me You only wanna hang around 'Cause I'm the one you love to hate So come on get a load of this Something you can't afford to miss You're just a vulture on my veins Your nails won't crucify me Got money, but you can't see Your only future is your past I can break you I can raise you Bring you to your knees 'Cause I'm the one you love to hate You can't fool me You can't rule me You only wanna hang around 'Cause I'm the one you love to hate The One You Love to Hate - Rob Halford with Bruce Dickinson What a rockin' combo, ay? :-) Always wondered what it would be like if those two cats paired up, but never thought I would see the day until it happened. Comes from Halfords solo debut, Resurrection. Man, what a hellhammer that one is. A straight up no game-player for sure. Good for ya. Good for the heart and the circulation. Reply #215.

Seven years of hard luck comin' down on me From the Florida border, yeah, up to Nashville, Tennessee I worked in every joint you can name, every honky tonk Along come Mr. Yankee Slicker sayin' maybe you're what I want Want you to sign your contract Want you to sign today Gonna give you lots of money Workin' for MCA Nine thousand dollars, that's all we could win But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker with a big ol' Southern grin They're gonna take me out to California Gonna make me a superstar Just pay me all of my money And mister maybe you won't get a scar....

When I dream I see movies in my head I always have the starring role But the scenery is never quite clear 'Cause the film is growing old But I just roll them dice And I pray for snake eyes Lonely warzone That I defend Lonely warzone My only friend Insanity is what I plead 'Cause the trenches are all filled up With the bodies of men who used to laugh with me They just got shot like sitting ducks But I just roll them dice And I pray for snake eyes Lonely warzone That I defend Lonely warzone My only friend....

God in heaven, my only friend Will I live to see my journey's end? As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed I make a promise to myself: Never again A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way.....
