missytootsweet Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Harry's House (lyrics and music Joni Mitchell)* Heatwaves on the runway As the wheels set down He takes his baggage off the carousel He takes a taxi into town Yellow schools of taxi fishes Jonah in a ticking whale Caught up at the light in the fishnet windows Of Bloomingdale's Watching those high fashion girls Skinny black models with raven curls Beauty parlor blondes with credit card eyes Looking for the chic and the fancy to buy He opens up his suitcase In the continental suite And people twenty stories down Colored currents in the street A helicopter lands on the Pan Am roof Like a dragonfly on a tomb And business men in button downs Press into conference rooms Battalions of paper minded males Talking commodities and sales While at home their paper wives And paper kids Paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid Yellow checkers for the kitchen Climbing ivy for the bath She is lost in House and Gardens He's caught up in Chief of Staff He drifts off into the memory Of the way she looked in school With her body oiled and shining At the public swimming pool ... ... Shining hair and shining skin Shining as she reeled him in To tell him like she did today Just what he could do with Harry's House And Harry's take home pay...... *Crazy Crow Music Sweet joni and her profound lyrics........ missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Rush - Red Tide Nature has some new plague To run in our streets History some new wrinkle We are doomed to repeat Fugitives at the bedroom door Lovers pause to find an open store Rain is burning on the forest floor And the red tide kisses the shore THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM THIS IS NOT A TEST Stay out of the sun It only burns my skin Sky full of poison And the atmosphere's too thin Bless the sun, the rain no more River running like an open sore Black wind falling to the ocean floor And the red tide washes ashore THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM THIS IS NOT A TEST Nowhere we can fly away Nowhere we can rest The party is disrupted by An uninvited guest Deadline approaches For the weary land It used to be something But we let it run down in our hands Too late for debate, too bad to ignore Quiet rebellion leads to open war Bring a sea-change to the factory floor As the red tide covers the shore Now's the time to turn the tide Now's the time to fight Let us not go gently To the endless winter night Now's the time to make the time While hope is still in sight Let us not go gently To the endless winter night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Rush - Out of the Cradle It's not a place It's a yearning It's not a race It's a journey It's not an act It's attraction It's not a style It's an action It's a dream for the waking It's a flower touched by flame It's a gift for the giving It's a power with a hundred names Surge of energy, spark of inspiration The breath of love is electricity Maybe time is bird in flight Endlessly mocking Here we come out of the cradle Endlessly rocking Endlessly rocking It's a hand That rocks the cradle It's a motion That swings the sky It's method on the edge of madness It's a balance on the edge of a knife It's a smile on the edge of sadness It's a dance on the edge of life Endlessly rocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 "Three Days" Janes Addiction Three days was the morning. My focus three days old. My head, it landed To the sounds of cricket bows... I am proud man anyway... Covered now by three days... Three ways was the morning. Three lovers, in three ways. We knew when she landed, Three days she'd stay. I am a proud man anyway... Covered now by three days... We saw shadows of the morning light the shadows of the evening sun till the shadows and the light were one. Shadows of the morning light the shadows of the evening sun till the shadows and the light were one... True hunting is over. No herds to follow. Without game, men prey on each other. The family weakens by the bite we swallow... True leaders gone, Of land and people. We choose no kin but adopted strangers. The family weakens by the length we travel... All of us with wings... All of us with wings... All of us with wings! All of us with wings! All of us with wings! All of us with wings! Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys. Loves his Marys. Bits of puzzle, Fitting each other. All now with wings! Oh my Marys! Never wonder... Night is shelter For nudity's shiver... All now with wings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Terrapin station - lady with a fan Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm, That will not forsake you, till my tale is told and done. While the firelights aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow, Till things weve never seen will seem familiar. Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair all swarm. Down in carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago. Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him, Who came through many fights, but lost at love. While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks; Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there. Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair, She takes her fan and throws it, in the lions den. Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. The sailor gave at least a try, the soldier being much too wise, Strategy was his strength, and not disaster. The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him. That's how it stands today. you decide if he was wise. The story teller makes no choice. soon you will not hear his voice. His job is to she'd light, and not to master. Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold, In hopes he will return, but he cannot be bought or sold. Terrapin station Inspiration, move me brightly. light the song with sense and color; Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask. Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last. Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to terrapin. Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright; The spiral light of venus, rising first and shining best, On, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon, While crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune, Terrapin station. In the shadow of the moon, terrapin station. And I know well get there soon, terrapin station. I can't figure out, terrapin, if it's the end or beginning, terrapin, But the trains put it's brakes on, terrapin, And the whistle is screaming, terrapin. Terrapin station - at the siding While you were gone, these faces filled with darkness. The obvious was hidden. with nothing to believe in, Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain. Youre back in terrapin for good or I'll again, for good or I'll again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears All I have to give you is a love that never dies The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes Mother goose is calling me back to her silver womb Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb Seventh hundredth unicorn is waiting in the sky The symptom of the universe, a love that never dies Take my hand my child of love come step inside my tears Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years With our love we'll ride away into eternal skies The symptom of the universe, a love that never dies Oh my child of love's creation, come and step inside my dreams In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above We'll find happiness together in the summer skies of love.

paul carruthers Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 When the ebbing tide retreats Along the rocky shoreline It leaves a trail of tidal pools In a short-lived galaxy Each microcosmic planet A complete society A simple kind mirror To reflect upon our own All the busy little creatures Chasing out their destinies Living in their pools They soon forget about the sea... Wheels within wheels in a spiral array A pattern so grand and complex Time after time we lose sight of the way Our causes can't see their effects A quantum leap forward In time and in space The universe learned to expand The mess and the magic Triumphant and tragic A mechanized world out of hand Computerized clinic For superior cynics Who dance to a synthetic band In their own image Their world is fashioned No wonder they don't understand Science, like nature Must also be tamed With a view towards its preservation Given the same State of integrity It will surely serve us well Art as expression Not as market campaigns Will still capture our imaginations Given the same State of integrity It will surely help us along The most endangered species The honest man Will still survive annihilation Forming a world State of integrity Sensitive, open and strong Wave after wave will flow with the tide And bury the world as it does Tide after tide will flow and recede Leaving life to go on as it was...

zepscoda Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Old man lying by the side of the road With the lorries rolling by, Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky, Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn And the morning paper flies, Dead man lying by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Find someone who's turning And you will come around. Blind man running through the light of the night With an answer in his hand, Come on down to the river of sight And you can really understand, Red lights flashing through the window in the rain, Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in a gutter in the lane, If you're walking home alone. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Just find someone who's turning And you will come around. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Just find someone who's turning And you will come around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
