"Dear Penis"
written by David Allen Coe
Sung by Rodney Carrington

Dear penis
I don't think I like you anymore
You used to watch me shave
Now all you do is stare at the floor
Oh dear penis
I don't like you anymore

It used to be you and me
A paper towel and a dirty magazine
That's all we needed to get by
Now it seems things have changed
And I think that you're the one to blame
Dear penis, I don't like you anymore

He sings

Dear Rodney
I don't think I like you anymore
Cos when you get to drinking
You put me places I've never been before
Dear Rodney, I don't like you anymore

Why can't we just get a grip
On our man to hand relationship
Come to terms with truly how we feel
If we put our heads together
We'd just stay home forever
Dear penis, I think I like you after all

Oh and Rodney
While you're shaving, shave my balls

Fox on the Run

Sweet

I don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
Okay, you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked alright before

Fox on the run
You scream and everybody comes a running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy
Fox on the run
And hide away

You, you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand (second hand)
I've heard it all before
I don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

Fox on the run
You scream and everybody comes a running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy
Fox on the run
And hide away

F-foxy
Fox on the run
You scream and everybody comes a running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy is on the run
F-foxy
Fox on the run
And hide away
(Fox on the run)
(Fox on the run)
(Fox on the run)
(Fox on the run)

Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) -Elton John

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one no one can replace

And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play

And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
Who lived there
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name

Johnny can't you come out to play in your empty garden

 

[With_David_Bowie]

I, oh, want you

I Want You - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Oh my baby baby, I love you more than I can tell
I don't think I can live without you
And I know that I never will
Oh my baby baby, I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath

I want you
You've had your fun, you don't get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful darling, you might fall

I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "Young man I do believe you're dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
I want you
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways

I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
I want you
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing

I want you
He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
"I want you"

I want you
The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling, not with that clown
I want you

I want you
You've had your fun, you don't get well no more
I want you
No one who wants you could want you more
I want you
I want you

I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I'm going to say it again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you
I want you

Blood on the Rooftops
Genesis

Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won't you stay?
Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry
The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain
Saved again.

Let's skip the news boy (I'll make some tea)
The Arabs and the Jews boy (too much for me)
They get me confused boy (puts me off to sleep)
And the thing I hate - Oh Lord!
Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nation's fate.
Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised!
You've won the West in time to be our guest
Name your prize!
Drop of wine, a glass of beer dear what's the time?
The grime on the Tyne is mine all mine all mine
Five past nine.

Blood on the rooftops - Venice in the Spring
Streets of San Francisco - a word from Peking
The trouble was started - by a young Errol Flynn
Better in my day - Oh Lord!
For when we got bored, we'd have a world war, happy but poor

So let's skip the news boy (I'll go make that tea)
Blood on the rooftops (too much for me)
When old Mother Goose stops - they're out for 23
Then the rain at Lords stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again.

"Born In The U.S.A."

Bruce Springsteen

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "Son, don't you understand"

I had a brother at Khe Sanh fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone

He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.

[With_David_Bowie]

Kelly Clarkson - Because of you

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known
Better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
Because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Sturgill Simpson

"Make Art Not Friends"

Looking out the window at a world on fire
It's plain to see the end is near
Seen all the sights
Tired of the lights
So you could let me off right here

This town is getting crowded
Truth's been shrouded
I think it's time to change up the sound
Yeah, the wheels keep turning
The flames gettin' higher
Another cycle goes around

Face in the mirror, all skin and bones
Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone
Never again, rather be alone
Think I'm gonna just stay home
And make art, not friends

I love saying no to all the yes-men
Just to see the look on their face
Love how everybody knows what's best
But nobody knows their place

Sucker ever second, stack 'em up to the sky
For every winner there's a hundred that died
So you get yours and stay outta mine
Here's to the memories, where do I sign?

Face in the mirror, all skin and bones
Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone
Never again, rather be alone
Think I'm gonna just stay home
And make art, not friends

Oh, it's getting hard to find a good friend
So close the door behind you
Before anymore come in
Nobody writes, nobody calls
Nobody bother 'cause I'm over it all

Face in the mirror, all skin and bones
Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone
Never again, rather be alone
Think I'm gonna just stay home
And make art, not friends

Theory of a deadman - Rx


Wake up to a cloudy day
Dark rolls in and it starts to rain
Staring out to the cage-like walls
Time goes by and the shadows crawl
Crushin' candy crushin' pills
Got no job, mom pays my bills
Textin' ex's get my fill
Sweatin' bullets, Netflix-chills

World's out there singin' the blues
Twenty more dead on the evening news
Think to myself "really, what's the use?"
I'm just like you, I was born to lose
Why oh why can't you just fix me?
When all I want's to feel numb
But the medication's all done

Why oh why does God hate me?
When all I want's to get high
And forget this so-called life
I am so freakin' bored
Nothin' to do today
I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)

I am so freakin' bored
Nothing to do today
I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
Can't wait to feel better than I ever will
Attack that shit like a kid on Benadryl
Chase it down with a hopeful smile
Hate myself, if I can go for miles
They say family's all you need
Someone to trust can help you breathe
Inhale that drug, but you start to choke
You follow the outs of an inside joke

Why oh why can't you just fix me?
When all I want's to feel numb
But the medication's all done

Why oh why does God hate me?
'Cause I've seen enough of it, heard enough of it, felt enough of it
Had enough of it!

Day and Night
- Madchild

It's Madchild
AKA Misguided Angel
AKA Ghost Rider
AKA Silver Surfer
AKA Mr. Lost

[Verse 1]
Day and night, I pray to God I’m not losing my mind
Look in the mirror, I know something’s wrong
Cause my reflection is not quite the same (same)
Now look at me, Madchild I’m not the man I used to be
See I had things popping off in the past
Then I started taking pills that kick my ass (ass)

[Hook 1]
Now he ain’t right, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
There’s people all around but he don’t mind
He’s got no boner when watching porno at night (a-a-at night)
Day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
He’s all alone inside this crowded house
He’s on the couch popping pills till he’s passing out

[Verse 2]
Hey yo I got this crazy habit, this pill I gotta have it
Thank God I got my family, walls closing in around me
I’m trapped, can’t get around it, it get my heart start pounding
Sometimes I just can’t stand it, yup till I re-up I panic
I got to got to get it, this shit is so pathetic
My neck and back is sweating, damn, can’t feel this bad already
Get the word, hands are steady, make the place to meet I’m ready
But I don’t want to look too anxious
Don’t want to have to meet these gangsters
They about as tough as hamsters but they packing, I’ll take my chances
Everything turned out okay, got my pills, I’m on my way
Now I’m ready for the day, I hate having to live this way

[Hook 2]
Pain is deep, I’m self-destructing and my fear is me
My girl’s still hanging but just by a thread
She’s scared that she’ll wake up and I’ll be dead
Cause things ain’t right, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
He’s watching movies till the morning light
He’s popping pills until he’s higher than a kite

[Outro]
Higher than a kite man
That's the way i've been for
The last three and a half years
It's costing me like 4 or 5 hundred dollars a day
To get high everyday. Do the math motherfuckers
I spent a half mil on fuckin' stupid shit
Getting fucking stoned
Spent a half mil on getting high
Don't even get high no more
I just get by. I paid 5 hundred dollars a day
So i'm not sittin'. Fucking retarded trap i'm in man
It's time for things to change. It's time for me to really change
I really wanna fuckin change. I'll see you on celebrity rehab

"Things Will Never Be The Same" - Roxette


Lay it down, pull my heart to the ground
Time's getting cold, now the leaves all turn hard and blue

And I know, when I gaze to the sun
No place to hide I got nowhere to run from you
Away from you

Hold me now, girl, I don't know when,
When we will ever meet again

That was then, baby this is now
I try to get over you

Losing you... things will never be the same
Can you hear me call your name?
If we changed it back again
Things would never be...

In your hand, babe, I don't understand
You've got the eyes of a child but you hurt like a man, always do
Always do

Touch me now, girl I don't know when,
When we will ever meet again
That was then, baby this is now
Time won't get over you

Losing you... things will never be the same
Can you hear me call your name?
If we changed it back again
Things would never be the same

The Song With No Name

It's been years and years but this one still pulls at my heart.


Long years ago I fell in love
With a lady proud and fair
So passionate were she and I
We made fire in the air
I loved her more than life itself
She loved me just the same
And it broke my heart
To think we'd part if she ended the affair

But I was brutal, I was ignorant
I was cruel I, was brash
I never gave a damn about
The beauty that I smashed
No sadist I, I took delight
In making my love cry
Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her
To be lashed and crucified

And now I feel this lady fair
Can never more be mine
Long gone are nights in my lonely bed
All suffering and crying
And though I fear that through this life
She'll only call me only friend
'Till I'm dead and buried in my grave
My Love will never end

SPOOKS ON THE 3rd Floor

Too Much Month:

My baby so delicious, she stop traffic in the streets
She got hair triggered preachers wanna wash and kiss her feet.
I just got paid today and I'll be broke before tonight
But then she's reaching out to hold and I know she'll make it right!

I got too much month, at the end of my money. (I got too much month...)
I got too much month, at the end of my dough.

Gas bill, electric bill and water wanting cash
Coming at me like marines thinking I got me some stash.
Final shut off notices, my landlord at the door
But my baby's needing lipstick and that's what she got me for!!!

I got too much month at the end of my money. (they ought to be a law...)
I got too much month at the end of my dough.

Her telephone, her gym, her orthodontist needing paid
People look at her with me and thinking--, that I got it made.
But when my money comes there someone new I gotta give,
I know I gotta give her up, cuz else-, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE!!!?

I got too much month at the end of my money. (I got too much month..)
I got too much month at the end of my dough.

James Reyne - Hammerhead

Be my ritual
Be my one desire
Be my light be my pure delight
Be my purifier
You'll never know what you do to me
Five times a day
My self destruction you'll over see
Don't go don't go away

Just a touch of you
Just a taste
Like kissing God is what we do
Let's go to waste
You'll never know what you do to me
So sublime
You're like the Devil in Heaven
Every every time

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil
Hammerhead

Take food from my mouth
Take my sex
Take my friends take my lovers
Here take this
You'll never know what you do to me
Maybe I'm wrong
Let's take this journey together
Please come please come along
Please come please come along

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil
Hammerhead
Oohh ooooohhhhh

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil
Hammerhead

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil
Hammerhead

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil
Hammerhead

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil
Hammerhead

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil
Hammerhead

You've been hanging with the nicest people
Hammerhead
Some silken slip of evil

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream

I can make you mine taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

Northwest Passage

Stan Rogers or an excellent cover by Unleash The Archers

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.

Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died;
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.

Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.

And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea.

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.

How then am I so different from the first men through this way?
Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away.
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again.

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.

The Wet Spots - Do You Take it in the Ass?

Well, my father says you're nifty
and you've heard of Baudelaire
and we both agree that human rights abuses are unfair

You understand your feelings
and you're not afraid to share
and I think I could do something with your hair

You smell nice and you're groovy
and we both like foreign movies
my mother says you have that touch of class

Well I can see a shining future
where we'll dialog and nuture
but there's one last thing I feel I need to ask:

Do you take it in the ass?
Do you take it in the ass?
'Cause you're beautiful and curvy
but unless you're kind of pervy
there's no way you and me are gonna last

Do you take it in the ass?
Do you take it in the ass?
When it comes to brains you're got 'em
but unless you'll play the bottom
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take a pass

Well you're adorable, reliable,
but is your anus pliable?
That's the information that I need

You would do it if you love if you love me
If you're nervous, squat above me
You'll be able to control the depth and speed

Do you take it in the ass?
Do you take it in the ass?
'Cause I've ordered in a shipment of the relavent equipment
I've got lubricant and poppers and some grass

Do you take it in the ass?
Do you take it in the ass?
If you need more information on this type of penetration
we could always take a correspondence class

You see, I'm not the kinda fella
who can get off on vanilla
No, I need a little color in my sex

Well, honey pie it just so happens
that I brought my day-glo strap on
and some mescaline to heighten the effect

Ready?
*moan*

Do you take it in the ass?
Do you take it in the ass?
Oooooo oooooo
Do you take it in the ass?

Love and War - Fleurie

I'm next in line and my supply is running out
It's time to leave, the clouds are hanging low
The truth begins to show

Lover, hunter, friend and enemy
You will always be every one of these
Lover, hunter, friend and enemy
You will always be every one of these
Nothing's fair in love and war

In life, in love, this time I can't afford to lose
For one, for all, I'll do what I have to do
You can't understand, it's all part of the plan

Broken pieces of the night
Sing like hollow lullabies
You and I, always in disguises

Lover, hunter, friend and enemy
You will always be every one of these
Lover, hunter, friend and enemy
You will always be every one of these
Nothing's fair in love and war

Adore You - Harry Styles

Walk in your rainbow paradise
Strawberry lipstick state of mind
I get so lost inside your eyes
Would you believe it?

You don’t have to say you love me
You don’t have to say nothing
You don’t have to say you’re mine

Honey
I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh honey
I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do

Your wonder under summer skies
Brown skin and lemon over ice
Would you believe it?

You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna tell you something
Lately you’ve been on my mind

Honey
I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh honey
I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do

It’s the only thing I’ll ever do

I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh honey
I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do

I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh honey
Oh honey

I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do

It Takes Time - Fleetwood Mac

Baby, I've just been holding out too long
Maybe I couldn't admit I was wrong
And maybe I've just been lying to myself
And no one else

Slow down, baby
Cross that line
If you want to save me
It takes time
It takes time

Maybe I've wasted all this precious time
I'm trying to prove what is and isn't mine
Wondering to myself if you knew
It was all for you

Slow down, baby
Cross that line
If you want to save me
It takes time
It takes time
It takes time
It takes time​

Bridges by Aisha Badru

We were worlds apart
So I fell from the stars
I travelled long and I travelled far
Then deep in the dark
I followed a spark
And it led straight to your heart
There'll be oceans for us to tread
There'll be bridges for us to mend
But I'll stick through it
Oh, I swear
There'll be mountains for us to climb
There'll be days when the sun won't shine
But I'll stick through it
Oh, I swear
I've got scars by great white sharks
But I swam fast and I swam hard
All these miles I've walked
All these stumbles and falls
They led me straight to your arms
But there'll be oceans for us to tread
There'll be bridges for us to mend
But I'll stick through it
Oh, I swear
There'll be mountains for us to climb
There'll be days when the sun won't shine
But I'll stick through it
Oh, I swear
There'll be so many years that pass
There'll be others with greener grass
But I'll stick through it
Oh, I swear
There'll be exits along the road
There'll be so many ways to go
But I'll stick through it
Oh, I swear
Oh, I swear​

L.A. proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
So he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh
(He said he's going)
He said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago

He's leaving
(Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah
(Leaving on the midnight train)
Said he's going back
(Going back to find)
To a simpler place and time, oh yes he is
(Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I'll be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo woo)
I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(Her world is his, his and hers alone)

He kept dreaming
(Dreaming)
Ooh, that some day he'd be a star
(A superstar, but he didn't get far)
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true, oh no, uh uh
(Dreams don't always come true, uh uh, no, uh uh)
So he pawned down his hopes
(Woo, woo, woo-woo)
And even sold his old car
(Woo, woo, woo-woo)
Bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew
Oh yes he did, he said he would

Oh-oh, he's leaving
(Leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah
(Leaving on a midnight train)
Said he's going back to find, ooh
(Going back to find)
A simpler place and time, ooh, yeah
(Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I'm gonna be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo woo)
I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(Her world is his, his and hers alone)

Ooh, he's leaving
(Leaving)
On the midnight train to Georgia, yeah, ooh y'all
(Leaving on the midnight train)
Said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh y'all, uh-huh
(Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I've got to be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, woo woo)
I'd rather live in his world
(Live in his world)
Than live without him in mine
(Her world is his, his and hers alone)

For love, gonna board the midnight train to ride
For love, gonna board, gotta board the midnight train to go
For love, gonna board, uh huh, the midnight train to go
My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
My world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
I got to go
I got to go
I got to go, hey
I got to go
I got to go
My world, his world, my man, his girl
I got to go
I got to go, oh
I got to go
My world, his world, our world, his girl

I have always loved this song. My dad is a huge Gladys Knight fan and I can remember this song being played a lot. Great song. Beautiful memories.

I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery - Woods Of Ypres

I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously
... Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken from me
Our tree was full and green, I had to leave it
The sadness was overwhelming, to be alone beneath it
The sun came down hot and hard, I could never sleep
To disappear was the only way I could find relief
When I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously
... Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken so suddenly
First I paid my respects to Glenn Gould
And then I visited the grave of Alexander Muir
Next to Eaton's tomb, I hung my head and cried
Looking for Joseph Mulgrew, I gave up and died
When I was buried...
The birds sang for the flowers in bloom, spring had just begun
Recently fitted for a suit, now lying in a box
By summer, I was gone, my remains stolen from the ground
My body never recovered and I was never found
... Until now
I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously
Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, between the monuments and trees
At the heart of the city, Amongst the statues and fountains
New life could begin, where the old path I ran came to an end
