And so is the chrome?

Aahh ah ahahahaaa, aahh ah ahahahaaa

And the plastic's all melted,
And the chrome is too soft?

Aaahhh!

I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die

I get paid for loving
Oh yes girl, I'm loving all the time
I get paid for loving because your love is mine
Because you love is mine, because your love is mine
I get paid for loving
Not with nickels and dimes
I get paid for loving because your love is mine
Because your love is mine
Because your love is mine
Your kisses make me richer
Richer all the time
Your loving is so much sweeter
Like berries from the vine
Paid for loving every day
Paid for loving every mother freaking (sic) day

100 Years

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you?re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you?re on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live

Five for Fighting

"Figured You Out"

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While your looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self-respect
While you passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before, you never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While your looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

Some people's hot
Some people's cold
Some people's not very
Swift to behold
Some people do it
Some see right through it
Some wear pojamas
If only they knew it

The pojama people are boring me to pieces
They make me feel like I am wasting my time
They all got flannel up 'n down 'em
A little trap-door back aroun' 'em
An' some cozy little footies on their mind

Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Lawd, they make you sleepy
With the things they might say
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Mother, Mary 'n Jozuf, wish they'd all go away!

Po-jama people!
It's a po-jama people special...
Take one home with you & save a dollar today
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Wrap 'em up
Roll 'em out
Get 'em out of my way

HEY! enna-hey enna-hey enna-hey!
Hoy! Hoy! Hoy!

Wrap 'em up
Roll 'em out
Get 'em out of my way

HEY! enna-hey enna-hey enna-hey!

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the lights from the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours.

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down the stream;
There the graceful, white swan goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free,
The breezes so balmy and light,
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright.

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Oh, I love those wild flowers in this dear land of ours,
The curlew I love to hear scream,
And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks
That graze on the mountain tops green.

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

The music was added by the Harlan Bros. in 1873.

Talk about biting that hand that feeds
Sitting there watching as it bleeds
Try your best in the winter light
When it really should be summer night

Is it too late baby?
Too late now
Too late baby?
Too late now
Too late for you to realise
Everything could have been alright

Has it been to long? yeh
Is it too long now
Is it too long for you to make the change
Gotta love yourself to make a better day

I hate the way you don't want to move
What's the matter?
Money rules the groove now
What we're doing here today
won't make the bad life go away
You gotta grow the beard
Find the doubt
And maybe you'll work everything out hey!

Is it too long baby?
Too long now yeh
Too long for you to make the change
U got to love yourself to make a better day, better day

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Look out
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Recognise your soul
And everythng's alright
You gotta see the whole
And everything's alright
C'mon give yourself a break
Everything's alright
We'll be breathng deep and everything's alright
Well c'mon c'mon c'mon everything's alright

In a dream I was crossing African plains
And elephant's graveyard
a bone dry place
And I was wondering why there was no more rain
And in a pile of bones I saw your face
Is it too late baby?
Is it too late now yeh

It's aright
It's alright

laqtis, the Motor City's on a hot streak musically again, what with the White Stripes, etc., from the new "garage'" scene. Sounding like the late 60s again. Saw MC5, Iggy & Stooges, SRC, etc. back then, and those bands all liked to tear it up.

I have the Paybacks CD in the truck right now -- like taking a 35 year trip back in time. Detroit rocks and the nation's getting hip. My wife heard a Detroit Cobras song on a car commercial the other day. That's a cool band if you get a chance to see them -- we caught them in Milwaukee and Madison back to back a few months ago. Saw the Von Bondies in Madison two weekends ago, but they weren't hitting on all cylinders -- maybe that's why Jack White punched their frontman.

Right now (I'm at home on a sick day) I've got digital cable radio on the Electronica channel, which has the Freestylers playing at the moment.

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaven'
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should

Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile

When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile

There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile

You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Hold me in your thoughts, keep me in your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you

Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile

These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Maynard Sings!
Tilt mentioned this one earlier...

Maynard Ferguson does an awesome cover with his signature stratospheric trumpet-wailing;


I’ve flown around the world in a plane
Settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
Still I can’t get started with you

On the golf course, I’m under par
Stan Kenton, he made me a star
Still I’m broken hearted
Cause I can’t get started with you

You're so supreme
Mmm, lyrics I write of you
Dream day and night of you
And I scream just for the sight of you

But what good does it do?

I’ve been invited to tea by the Queen
Linda Lovelace, she thinks I’m obscene
Still I’m broken hearted
Cause I cant get started with you

pekka - It does seem at times that Detroit is gettin back musically, then it takes two steps back.


I used to play in the scene a while back and there was five other bands like the "stripes". Trouble is that down here, there is a lack of good venues to play and you have to be able to bring a crowd, not like how it used to be with the venue already having a crowd and you played to it.

Anyhoo - Good to see that we will LOTS to talk about the next time we see each other......:)

One for Treebeard
"The Weight"

I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head

"Hey, Mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said

{Refrain}
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"

{Refrain}

Go down, miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"

{Refrain}

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
Said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute Chester, you know, I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's OK, boy, won't you feed him when you can"

{Refrain}

Catch a Cannonball, now take me down the line
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
To get back to miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

{Refrain}
