SoTD: Song of The Day

Well the moon is high and so am I
the stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you’re mad at me — there you stand tellin’ me goodbye
And I say no you can’t go I love you so much I can’t let you get away
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you’re gone

Uhhuhhuh, love don’t leave me! Don’t leave me laying here!
This ground is cold and chilly really don’t leave your charming Billy
Way out here, you hear, well the moon is high and so am I
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you’re gone

Well the moon is high and so am I
the stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you’re mad at me — there you stand tellin’ me goodbye
And I say no you can’t go I love you so much I can’t let you get away
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you’re gone

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
your heart is true you’re a pal and a confidant

I’m not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won’t you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see, the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it’s a car you lack
I’d surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need, anytime of the day or night

I’m not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won’t you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear, even though it’s hard to hear
I will stand real close and say,
Thank you for being a friend

(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Let me tell you bout a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend

And when we die and float away
Into the night, the Milky Way
You’ll hear me call, as we ascend
I’ll see you there, then once again
Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
Whoa, tell you about a friend
(Thank you right now, for being a friend)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna tell you right now, and tell you again)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna thank you, thank you, for being a friend)
Thank you for being a friend

Through the storms and the light
Baby, you stood by my side
And life is wine
But there are days in this life
When you see the teeth marks of time
Two lovers divide
Sound meets sound, babe
The echoes the surround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow?
Babe, it’s time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So, just let us be free
And baby tonight
I see your lips are on fire
And life is wine
Now the windows are open the moon is so bright
There’s no one can tell us what love brings, you and I
Sound meets sound, babe

The echoes they surround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow
Babe, it’s time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So just let us be free, tonight
Through the storms and the light
Baby you stood by my side
And life is wine
You feel the sweet breath of time
It’s whispering, its truth not mine
There’s no I in threesome
And I am all for it
Babe, it’s time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
And feathers bend like trees in the moonlight
Babe, it’s time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So just let us be free tonight

A scary conversations,
Shut my eyes, can’t find the brake
What if they say that you’re a climber?

Naturally I’m worried if I do it alone
Who really cares cuz it’s your life
You never know, it could be great
Take a chance cuz you might grow
Oh… oh ohhh

Take a chance you stupid ho

Like an echo pedal, you’re repeating yourself
You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place?
Born to blossom, bloom to perish

Your moment will run out
Cuz of your sex chromosome
I know it’s so messed up how our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you’re capable (uh huh)
Oh… oh ohhh

She wanted to test her husband.
She knew exactly what to do:
A pseudonym to fool him.
She couldn’t have made a worse move.

She sent him scented letters,
And he received them with a strange delight.
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears,
And how she was before the years flew by,
And how she was when she was beautiful.
She signed the letter

All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!

She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go,
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito.
And when he laid eyes on her,
He got the feeling they had met before.
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady,
Capacity to give him all he needs,
Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
He shouted out, im

All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president

Carter power will soon go away
I will be Fuehrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school

California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can’t happen here
Big Bro’ on white horse is near
The hippies won’t come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay

California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California

Now it is 1984
Knock knock at your front door
It’s the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
You’d look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes here’s a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas
Serpent’s egg’s already hatched
You will crack, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown

When you mess with President Brown

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith

I was ’round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
“Who killed the Kennedys?”
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Tell me baby, what’s my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what’s my name
I tell you one time, you’re to blame

Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What’s my name
Tell me, baby, what’s my name
Tell me, sweetie, what’s my name

See the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I dont know,
But he waits everyday now.
Hes just waiting for something to show.

And nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
’cause there’s no hiding place,
There’s no hiding place – for you.

Looking everywhere at no one,
He sees everything and nothing at all – oh.
When he shouts nobody listens,
Where he leads no one will go – oh.

Hes a lonely man, there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I dont know,
But he waits everyday now.
And he’s just waiting for something to show – oh.

Nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
’cause there’s no hiding place,
There’s no hiding place – for you and me.

Are we just like all the rest,
Were looking too hard for something he’s got
Or moving too fast to rest.
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
But do you love it enough to leave it – ah.

Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I dont know – oh.
But he waits every day now.
Hes just waiting for that something to show – oh.

Who’s the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I dont know.
But he’s there every day now.
And he’s just waiting for something to show – oh.

Who’s the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I dont know.
Oh but he waits every day now.
Hes just waiting for that something to show.

I wish I would’ve met you;
now it’s a little late.
What you could’ve taught me,
I could’ve saved some face.
They think that your early ending was all wrong;
for the most part they’re right,
but look how they all got strong.

That’s why I say, “Hey man, nice shot.”
“… a good shot, man.”

That’s why I say, “Hey man, nice shot.”
“… a good shot, man.”

A man has gun -
A man, have fun.
Nice shot!

Now that the smokes gone,
and the air is all clear:
those who were right there
had a new kind of fear.
You’d fight and you were right -
but, they were just too strong.
They’d stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong.

That’s why I say “Hey man, nice shot.”
“…a good shot, man.”
That’s why I say “Hey man, nice shot.”
“…what a good shot, man.”

A man has gun -
A man, have fun.

A man has gun -
A man, have fun.

Oh, nice shot man!
Oh, nice shot man!

Oh, I wish I would’ve met you.
I wish I would’ve met you, oh.
I wish I would’ve met you, oh.
I wish I would’ve met you,
I’d say, “Nice shot.”

Thinkin’ ’bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin’ that I might have drove you too far.
And I’m thinkin’ bout the love that you laid on my table.

I told you not to wander round in the dark.
I told you ’bout the swans, that they live in the park.
Then I told you bout our kid, now he’s married to Mabel.

Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
Don’t you notice how the wheel goes round?
And you better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.

Talkin’ ’bout a girl that looks quite like you.
She didn’t have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.
