StoneMtn Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hey, buddy do you got the time? No I don't got a watch can you spare a dime, But I got two olives and a couple of limes, Guessin' that means it's martini time. The Martinis that brought you the loss, I didn't even ask or care what they cost, I lost my job for no reason or rhyme, Guessin' that means it's martini time. Martini time (vodka ice shaker!), Martini time (olive or lime!), Martini time (gotta have glasses!), Make it with a layer of ice this time. Dirty, dry up, or in between, From the very first sip you know what I mean, When you're out with a babe you don't nickel or dime, Guessin' that means it's martini time. Martini time (vodka ice shaker!), Martini time (olive or lime!), Martini time (gotta have glasses!), Make it with a layer of ice this time. It's martini time. I live my life for a layer of ice Just like those poured by my bartender vice Any taste of vermouth would be really sublime, When you have a good martini time! It's Martini time (vodka ice shaker!), Martini time (olive or lime!), Martini time (gotta have glasses!), Perfectly poured and top of the line. It's martini time It's martini time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeps Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I love this tune off the Heart of saturday Night Album. TOM WAITS lyrics - "The Ghosts Of Saturday Night (After Hours At Napoleone's Pizza House)" A cab combs the snake, Tryin' to rake in that last night's fare, And a solitary sailor Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers... Paws his inside P-coat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents, And the last bent butt from a package of Kents, As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair. Her rhinestone-studded moniker says, "Irene" As she wipes the wisps of dishwater blonde from her eyes And the Texaco beacon burns on, The steel-belted attendant with a 'Ring and Valve Special'... Cryin' "Fill'er up and check that oil" "You know it could be a distributor and it could be a coil." The early mornin' final edition's on the stands, And that town cryer's cryin' there with nickels in his hands. Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents, Eggs - roll 'em over and a package of Kents, Adam and Eve on a log, you can sink 'em damn straight, Hash browns, hash browns, you know I can't be late. And the early dawn cracks out a carpet of diamond Across a cash crop car lot filled with twilight Coupe Devilles, Leaving the town in a-keeping Of the one who is sweeping Up the ghost of Saturday night...

StoneMtn Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Well, I was workin' on my farm 'bout 1982,Pullin' up some corn and a little carrot, tooWhen two low-flying aeroplanes, 'bout a hundred feet highDropped a bunch o' bales o' somethin', some hit me in the eye...So I cut a bale open, an' man was I surprisedBunch o' large sized baggies, with big white rocks insideSo I took a little sample to my crazy brother JoeHe sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, "Horton, that's some blow!"Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' planeI don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the sameBales of cocaine, fallin' like a foreign rainMy life changed completely by the low-flyin' planesSo I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck,Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luckI didn't have a notion if I could sell 'em there,But, thirty minutes later, I was a millionaire...Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' planeI don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the sameBales of cocaine, fallin' like a foreign rainMy life changed completely by the low-flyin' planesAnd now I am a rich man, but I'm still a farmer, tooBut I sold my farm in Texas, bought a farm down in PeruAnd when get so homesick, I think I'm goin' insane,I travel back to Texas in a low-flyin' plane...Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' planeI don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the sameBales of cocaine, fallin' like a foreign rainMy life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckholes Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I've got a little black book with my poems in. Ive got a bag with a toothbrush and comb in. When im a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in. I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on. Got those swollen hand blues. Got thirteen channels of sh!t on the T.V. to choose from. Ive got electric light and ive got second sight. Ive got amazing powers of observation_ and that is how i know When I try to get through On the telephone to you_ There'll be nobody home. I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm and the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favorite satin shirt. I've got nicotine stains on my fingures, I've got a silver spoon on a chain. I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains. I've got wild staring eyes And ive got a stong urge to fly But I got no-where to fly to, (fly to, fly to, fly to.) Oooooooohhhh babe, when I pick up the phone There's still nobody home. I've got a pair of Go-hill's boots But I've got fading roots._____________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalacePrincess Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, Possessing and caressing me.

MarcO Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Padded with power here they come International loan sharks backed by the guns Of market hungry military profiteers Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared With the blood of the poor Who rob life of its quality Who render rage a necessity By turning countries into labour camps Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom Sinister cynical instrument Who makes the gun into a sacrament -- The only response to the deification Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations' Idolatry of ideology North South East West Kill the best and buy the rest It's just spend a buck to make a buck You don't really give a flying fu©k About the people in misery IMF dirty MF Takes away everything it can get Always making certain that there's one thing left Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt See the paid-off local bottom feeders Passing themselves off as leaders Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows Open for business like a cheap bordello And they call it democracy And they call it democracy And they call it democracy And they call it democracy See the loaded eyes of the children too Trying to make the best of it the way kids do One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast They call the revolution IMF dirty MF Takes away everything it can get Always making certain that there's one thing left Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Rain rings trash can bells And what do you know My alley becomes a cathedral Eyes can be archways To enter or leave by Vacuums replaced by a crystal Jesus don't let Toronto take my song away It's easy to love if You let yourself love it But like a moth's wing it's easily crushed Jesus don't let tomorrow take my love away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaidy Mae Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

Del Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 My mama was the cold North wind, My daddy was the son, of a railroad man from west of hell, Where the trains don’t even run…… Never heard the whistle of a southbound freight, Or the singing of it’s driving wheel, No I, never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ after all They say they highway's just one big road, And it goes from here to there, And they say you carry a heavy load, When you’re rolling down the line somewhere….. Never seen the dance of the telephone poles, As they go whizzin’ by, No I, never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ after all Never did no wanderin’…..high! Never did no wanderin’…..low! Now a sailor’s life is a life for him, But it never was for me, And I never soared where they hawk may soar, Or see what the hawk might see, Never hiked to heaven on a mountain trail, Never rode on a river’s rage…. No I, never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ after all Never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ Never did not wanderin’ after all Never did no wanderin’…after……all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niffermouse Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 seems I was just a bit slow off the mark huh? Oh well, how about this If it were within our power, beyond the reach of slavish pride. To no longer harbour grievances, behind the mask's opportunists facade. We could welcome the responsibilty like a long lost friend, and re-establish the kingdom of laughter in the dolls house once again. For time has imprisoned us in the order of our years, in the discipline of our ways and in the passing of momentary stillness we can view our chaos in motion and the subsequent collisions of fools well versed in the subtle art of slavery. this may be a bit obtuse but I can tell you they have reunited and are going on tour!

StoneMtn Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I used to love every woman I see; Had a whole town of women who were mad at me. But I've gone and changed my evil ways. Met a girl named Mo'reen Who's exactly just what I need, And I won't be usin' my mojo anymore. I've come clean, Ever since I met Mo'reen. You know she Turns my worries into words.
