I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island

Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will be the day that I die

Alioop Sat 26-Nov-22 18:16:36

I tried to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I tried to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take
But her mind has been made up
Plenty more fish in the sea.

dayvidg Sat 26-Nov-22 22:02:09

We walked alone, sometimes hand in hand,
Between the thin lines marking sea and sand;
Smiling very peacefully,
We began to notice that we could be free,
And we moved together to the West.

LadyHonoriaDedlock Sat 26-Nov-22 22:05:43

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warning
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing
I heard ten-thousand whispering and nobody listening
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing
I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
It’s a hard rain’s a-going to fall

dayvidg Sun 27-Nov-22 12:54:18

So let's all drink to the death of a clown
Won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown

pandapatch Sun 27-Nov-22 14:10:00

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case.

dayvidg Sun 27-Nov-22 18:00:15

Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what's behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I'm blind
But I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Alioop Sun 27-Nov-22 19:53:41

How can I blame you
For showin up at the party
Lookin through me in that way
Saw somethin inside of me break
Saw me wanna make a mistake
How can I blame you
For takin over my daydream
I wanna scream I'm sorry
But I can't cos I'm long overdue
Oh I wanna blame it on you

LadyHonoriaDedlock Sun 27-Nov-22 21:54:14

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

dayvidg Sun 27-Nov-22 22:20:31

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin' joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Grannmarie Sun 27-Nov-22 23:53:34

I bring joy and I can take you through
All those days when people seem to get to you
I bring joy and I bring it to you.

Thank you for The Lovin' Spoonful, LadyHD!

dayvidg Mon 28-Nov-22 15:06:16

One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces

Alioop Mon 28-Nov-22 15:11:44

Soldier is turning
See him through white light
Running from strangers
See you in the valley
War upon war
Heat upon heat
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind

dayvidg Mon 28-Nov-22 16:27:14

Finished with my woman 'cause
She couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because
I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify

baubles Mon 28-Nov-22 22:14:19

I left a woman waiting
I met her sometime later
She said, I see your eyes are dead
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you, my lover?

dayvidg Mon 28-Nov-22 22:46:28

I'm waiting for my man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 125
Feel sick and dirty
more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

LadyHonoriaDedlock Mon 28-Nov-22 23:10:38

Baby, I've been waiting
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time
I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some
But I was waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
I know you really loved me
But, you see, my hands were tied
And I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
And me I'm up there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Caleo Tue 29-Nov-22 00:07:03

Gonna take a miracle top save us this time (ooh...)
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle 'cause your heart's on the line
And your heartbeat is slowing down (heartbeat's blowing, ooh...)
Your feet are grounded still you're reaching for the sky
You can let 'em clip your wings 'cause I believe that you can fl

Alioop Tue 29-Nov-22 07:21:51

On the wings of love up and above the clouds
The only way to fly is on the wings of love
On the wings of love, only the two of us
Together flying high
Flying high up above the wings of love

baubles Tue 29-Nov-22 09:32:08

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

dayvidg Tue 29-Nov-22 12:13:21

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion

Caleo Tue 29-Nov-22 13:02:15

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (You got to sing a song)
Ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
When we remembered Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Letitbleed Tue 29-Nov-22 13:57:43

Saw you stretched out in room ten o'nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
Oh couldn't seem to get a line on you
My sweet honey love
Berber jewelry jangling down the street
Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet
Could not seem to get a high on you
My-my sweet honey love
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun

dayvidg Tue 29-Nov-22 17:10:15

One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved
