death tribble Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 you say I only hear what I want to. you say I talk so all the time so. and I thought what I felt was simple, and I thought that I don't belong, and now that I am leaving, now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you. yeah, I missed you. and you say I only hear what I want to: I don't listen hard, I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running or to anyone, anywhere, I don't understand if you really care, I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no. so I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up, and this woman was singing my song: the lover's in love, and the other's run away, the lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay. some of us hover when we weep for the other who was dying since the day they were born. well, this is not that: I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown. and I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure. you try to tell me that I'm clever, but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you. you said that I was naive, and I thought that I was strong. I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave." but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you. you said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go." "you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose. and you say, "stay." you say I only hear what I want to.

death tribble Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 In tropical climes there are certain times of day When all the citizens retire To take their clothes off and perspire It's one of those rules the greatest fools obey Because the sun is far too sultry and one must avoid its ultra-violet ray The natives grieve when the white men leave their huts Because they're obviously, definitely nuts ! Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun The Japanese don't care to The Chinese wouldn't dare to Hindus and Argentines sleep firmly from twelve 'til one But Englishmen detest a siesta In the Philippines They have lovely screens To protect you from the glare In the Malay States There are hats like plates Which the Britishers won't wear At twelve noon the natives swoon and no further work is done But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun It's such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see That though the English are effete They're quite impervious to heat When the White Man rides every native hides in glee Because the simple creatures hope he Will impale his sola topee on a tree It seems such a shame When the English claim the Earth That they give rise to such hilarity and mirth Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho He-he-he-he-he-he-he Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun The toughest Burmese bandit Can never understand it In Rangoon the heat of noon Is just what the natives shun They put their Scotch or rye down And lie down In a jungle town Where the sun beats down To the rage of man and beast The English garb Of the English sahib Merely gets a bit more creased In Bangkok At twelve o'clock They foam at the mouth and run But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun The smallest Malay rabbit Deplores this foolish habit In Hong Kong They strike a gong And fire off a Noonday Gun To reprimand each inmate Who's in late In the mangrove swamps Where the python romps There is peace from twelve to two Even caribous Lie around and snooze For there's nothing else to do In Bengal To move at all Is seldom if ever done But mad dogs and Englishmen go Out in the midday Out in the midday Out in the midday Out in the midday Out in the midday Out in the midday Out in the midday sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 I met him at a party Just a couple of years ago He was rather over-hearty and ridiculous But as I'd seen him on the screen he cast a certain spell I basked in his attraction For a couple of hours or so His manners were a fraction too meticulous If he was real or not I couldn't tell But like a silly fool I fell Mad about the boy I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy I'm so ashamed of it But must admit The sleepless nights I've had About the boy On the silver screen He melts my foolish heart in every single scene Although I'm quite aware That here and there Are traces of the cad About the boy Lord knows I'm not a fool-girl I really shouldn't care Lord knows I'm not a school-girl In the flurry of her first affair Will it ever cloy This odd diversity of misery and joy I'm feeling quite insane and young again And all because I'm mad about the boy Home work, home work Every night there's homework While Elsie practices the gas goes pop I wish, I wish she'd stop Oh dear, oh dear Here it's always, 'No dear You can't go out again, you must stay home You'd waste your money on that common Picturedrome Don't shirk—stay here and do your work.' Yearning, yearning How my heart is burning I'll see him Saturday in Strong Man's Pain And then on Monday and on Friday week again To me, he is the sole man Who can kiss as well as Coleman I could faint whenever there's a close-up of his lips Though John Barrymore is larger When my hero's on his charger Even Douglass Fairbanks Junior hasn't smaller hips If only he could know That I adore him so Mad about the boy It's simply scrumptous to be mad about the boy I know that quite sincerely Houseman really Wrote The Shropshire Lad about the boy In my English prose I've done a tracing of his forehead and his nose And there is, honour bright A certain slight Effect of Galahad about the boy I've talked to Rosie Hooper She feels the same as me She says that Gary Cooper Doesn't thrill her to the same degree In Can Love Destroy? He meets with Garbo in a suit of corduroy He gives a little frown And knocks her down Oh dear, of dear, I'm mad about the boy Every Wednesday afternoon I get a little time off from three to eleven Then I go to the picture house and taste a little of my particular heaven He appears In a little while Through a mist of tears I can see him smiling Above me Every picture I see him in Every lovers' caress Makes my wonderful dreams begin Makes me long to confess That if he ever looked at me And thought perhaps I was worth the trouble to Love me I'd give in and I wouldn't care However far from the path of virtue he'd Shove me! Just supposing our love was brief If he treated me rough I'd be happy beyond belief Once would be enough Mad about the boy I know I'm potty but I'm mad about the boy! He sets me 'eart on fire With love's desire In fact I've got it bad about the boy! When I do the rooms I see his face in all the brushes and the brooms! Last week I strained me back And got the sack And had a row with dad about the boy I'm finished with Navarro, (He thrills me to the marrow) I'm tired of Richard Dix, (I sit through all his tricks!) I'm pierced by Cupid's arrow Every Wed-nes-day, from four to six! 'Ow I should enjoy To let 'im treat me like a plaything or a toy I'd give my all to 'im And crawl to 'im So 'elp me God, I'm mad about the boy It seems a little silly For a girl my age and weight To walk down Piccadilly In a haze of love It ought to take a good deal more to get a bad girl down I should have been exempt, for My particular kind of fate Has taught me such contempt for Every phase of love And now I've been and spent my last half-crown To weep about a painted clown Mad about the boy It's pretty funny but I'm mad about the boy He has a gay appeal That makes me feel There may be something sad about the boy Walking down the street His eyes look out at me from people that I meet I can't believe it's true But when I'm blue In some strange way I'm glad about the boy I'm hardly sentimental Love isn't so sublime I have to pay my rental And I can't afford to waste much time If I could employ A little magic that would finally destroy This dream that pains me And enchains me But I can't because I'm mad about the boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget the people I met braving those angry sky's I remember well as the shadows fell the light of hope in their eyes and though I'm far away I still can hear them say Sun's up for when the dawn comes up There'll be bluebirds over The white cliffs of Dover, Tomorrow, just you wait and see. There'll be love and laughter And peace ever after. Tomorrow, when the world is free The shepherd will tend his sheep. The valley will bloom again. And Jimmy will go to sleep In his own little room again. There'll be bluebirds over The white cliffs of Dover, Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

death tribble Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colours on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times. I wear the black for those who never read, Or listened to the words that Jesus said, About the road to happiness through love and charity, Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me. Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black. I wear it for the sick and lonely old, For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men. And, I wear it for the thousands who have died, Believen' that the Lord was on their side, I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died, Believen' that we all were on their side. Well, there's things that never will be right I know, And things need changin' everywhere you go, But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right, You'll never see me wear a suit of white. Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything's OK, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, 'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

death tribble Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 rom the four winds we have come Katie Elder Four brothers on the run Katie Elder All your little ones have grown and we've reaped what we have sown Yes we've reaped what we have sown Katie Elder Oh the wind blows like the devil when it blows And the boy grows up and like the wind he goes So mothers teach your sons to not live by a gun And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder And to not live like the sons of Katie Elder I think you'd understand Katie Elder That a man is just a man Katie Elder They're bound to cut him down if he doesn't stand his ground But they haven't cut us down yet Katie Elder Oh the wind blows...

death tribble Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm He changed his clothes and shined his boots And combed his dark hair down And his mother cried as he walked out Don't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to town He laughed and kissed his mom And said your Billy Joe's a man I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can But I wouldn't shoot without a cause I'd gun nobody down But she cried again as he rode away Don't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to town He sang a song as on he rode His guns hung at his hips He rode into a cattle town A smile upon his lips He stopped and walked into a bar And laid his money down But his mother's words echoed again Don't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to town He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand And tried to tell himself at last, he had become a man A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down And he heard again his mothers words Don't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to town Filled with rage then Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw But the stranger drew his gun and fired Before he even saw As Billy Joe fell to the floor The crowd all gathered 'round And wondered at his final words Don't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
