Can You Do Better?

Jack and Diane

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
2 American kids growin up in the heartland
Jacky's gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of Jacky's car

Suckin' on chili dogs outside the Tastee Freeze
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap
He's got his hand between her knees
Jacky say "Hey Diane lets run off
Behind a shady tree"
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please.
And Jacky Say

Chorus:
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeay say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone, they walk on

Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean.
Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city
Diane says "Baby, you aint missin' no-thing"
Jacky say a

Chorus:
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeay say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone, they walk on

Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come down
And Save My soul
Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids doing the best they can

Can you top this?


They Come No More, Those Birds, Those Finches

Oh when you're young
And the words to your tongue
Like the birds to Saint Frances
With darting, with dances--
Sing Late! Late!
Wait! you say, Wait!
There's still time! It's not late!

And the next day you're old
And the words all as cold
As the birds in October
Sing over, Sing over,
And wait, you say. Wait!

-Archibald MacLeish

ok i want to play too...this was composed while listening to "Attics of my Life" by the Grateful Dead off American Beauty.

easing into this sweet cloudy thing
like a nice hot bath...i can taste fresh lemons
as an angel wraps me in her amorous arms
and theres still so much to say that never gets said...
but all in good time and loves dreams...
and it has all been written somewhere before
but tonight i am half submerged in steam
and sprouting wings and i am flying to you too...
and now the secrets float like rose petals
as i sink into your thoughts.
 
 
 
 
  Slavonic dance

 
 
 
                too far from Baltic sea
                your red stream carries blue
                commit your suicide
                dream dream green land anew

                your blood plays in your ears
                a song of million birds
                a tune of million years
                for love for youth

                the Gypsy wagon left
                for the Carpatian trail
                commit your suicide
                to this Slavonic dance
