  3. "It wasn't very large...
    there was just enough room to jam the drums
    in the corner over by the Dodge...
    it was a 54' with a mashed-up door
    and a cheesy little amp...
    with a sign on the front saying Fender Champ
    and a second-hand guitar...
    it was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar..."

  4. Do you come from a land down under?
    Where beer does flow and men chunder.
    Can't you hear, can't you hear, the thunder?
    You'd better run, you'd better take cover.
     
  5. I said " do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich...

  9. "Running On Empty" - Jackson Browne

    Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
    Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
    In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
    I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

    Running on - running on empty
    Running on - running blind
    Running on - running into the sun
    But I'm running behind

    Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
    Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
    In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
    I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on

    Running on - running on empty
    Running on - running blind
    Running on - running into the sun
    But I'm running behind

    Everyone I know, everywhere I go
    People need some reason to believe
    I don't know about anyone but me
    If it takes all night, that'll be all right
    If I can get you to smile before I leave

    Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
    I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
    I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
    Looking into their eyes I see them running too

    Running on - running on empty
    Running on - running blind
    Running on - running into the sun
    But I'm running behind

    Honey you really tempt me
    You know the way you look so kind
    I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
    You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
    Running into the sun but I'm running behind
     
  10. Any tune the BBC played without realizing what it meant whilst banning others. Turning Japanese - wanking, Hotel California - Heroin addiction, Walk on the wild side - transgender sex, and the ultimate, Whole lotta love, Led Zepplin the theme tune for top of the pops for all those years. (you know what that meant).

  11. Into the distance, a ribbon of black
    Stretched to the point of no turning back
    A flight of fancy on a windswept field
    Standing alone my senses reeled
    A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
    How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

    Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
    Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

    Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
    Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything
    No navigator to find my way home
    Unladened, empty and turned to stone
    A soul in tension -- that's learning to fly
    Condition grounded but determined to try

    Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
    Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

    Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
    My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
    Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
    Out of the corner of my watering eye
    A dream unthreatened by the morning light
    Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

    There's no sensation to compare with this
    Suspended animation, a state of bliss

    Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
    Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    I have always been here
    I have always looked out from behind these eyes
    It feels like more than a lifetime
    Feels like more than a lifetime

    Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
    Sometimes I get tired of being in here
    Is this the way it has always been?
    Could it ever have been different?

    Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
    Do you ever get tired of being in there?
    Don’t worry, nobody lives forever
    Nobody lives forever
     
  12. He rides a road, that don't have no end... An open highway, that don't have no bends... Tramp and his stallion, alone in a dream... Proud in his colours, as the chromium gleams... Iron Horse he flies, Iron Horse he'd gladly die... Iron Horse his wife, Iron Horse his life... He rides the roads, he lives his life fast... Don't try to hide, when the dice have been cast... He rides a whirlwind, that cuts to the bone... Wasted forever, and ferociously stoned.. Iron Horse he flies, Iron Horse he'd gladly die... Iron Horse his wife, Iron Horse his life... ( Yeah, slide it to me ! ) One day one day, they'll go for the sun... Together they'll fly, on the eternal run... Wasted forever, on speed bikes and booze... Yeah tramp and the brothers, say they're all born to lose... Iron Horse he flies, Iron Horse he'd gladly die... Iron Horse his wife, Iron Horse his life... (Motorhead - Iron horse, born to lose)
     
  13. john Brown - Dylan

    --------------------

    John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore
    His mama sure was proud of him!
    He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all
    His mama’s face broke out all in a grin
    “Oh son, you look so fine, I’m glad you’re a son of mine
    You make me proud to know you hold a gun
    Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get
    And we’ll put them on the wall when you come home”
    As that old train pulled out, John’s ma began to shout
    Tellin’ ev’ryone in the neighborhood:
    “That’s my son that’s about to go, he’s a soldier now, you know”
    She made well sure her neighbors understood
    She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile
    As she showed them to the people from next door
    And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
    And these things you called a good old-fashioned war
    Oh! Good old-fashioned war!
    Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come
    They ceased to come for about ten months or more
    Then a letter finally came saying, “Go down and meet the train
    Your son’s a-coming home from the war”
    She smiled and went right down, she looked everywhere around
    But she could not see her soldier son in sight
    But as all the people passed, she saw her son at last
    When she did she could hardly believe her eyes
    Oh his face was all shot up and his hand was all blown off
    And he wore a metal brace around his waist
    He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she did not know
    While she couldn’t even recognize his face!
    Oh! Lord! Not even recognize his face
    “Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done
    How is it you come to be this way?”
    He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move
    And the mother had to turn her face away
    “Don’t you remember, Ma, when I went off to war
    You thought it was the best thing I could do?
    I was on the battleground, you were home . . . acting proud
    You wasn’t there standing in my shoes”
    “Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here?
    I’m a-tryin’ to kill somebody or die tryin’
    But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close
    And I saw that his face looked just like mine”
    Oh! Lord! Just like mine!
    “And I couldn’t help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink
    That I was just a puppet in a play
    And through the roar and smoke, this string is finally broke
    And a cannonball blew my eyes away”
    As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock
    At seein’ the metal brace that helped him stand
    But as he turned to go, he called his mother close
    And he dropped his medals down into her hand

  14. When a bullet with my name on it,
    Came buzzin' through a bush,
    And that big marine just swatted it with his hand,
    Just like it was a fly.

  16. Man Of The World - Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac when they were ok)

    Shall I tell you about my life
    They say I'm a man of the world
    I've flown across every tide
    And I've seen lots of pretty girls

    I guess I've got everything I need
    I would't ask for more
    And there's no one I'd rather be
    But I just wish that I'd never been born

    And I need a good woman
    To make me feel like a good man should
    I don't say I'm a good man
    Oh, but I would be if I could

    I could tell you about my life
    And keep you amused I'm sure
    About all the times I've cried
    And how I don't want to be sad anymore
    And how I wish I was in love

  17. More hair on a Polar bear means more to me than a lavatory
    You won't get far in a motor car with my front door key.

  18. It's another lonely evenin'
    In another lonely town
    But I ain't too young to worry
    And I ain't too old to cry
    When a woman gets me down

    Got another empty bottle
    And another empty bed
    Ain't too young to admit it
    And I'm not too old to lie
    I'm just another empty head

    That's why I'm lonely
    I'm so lonely
    But I know what I'm gonna do

    I'm gonna ride on
    Ride on
    Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
    Ride on, thumb in the air
    Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
    Ride on, change my evil ways
    Till then I'll just keep ridin' on

    Broke another promise
    And I broke another heart
    But I ain't too young to realize
    That I ain't too old to try
    Try to get back to the start
    And it's another redlight nightmare
    Another redlight street
    And I ain't too old to hurry
    Cause I ain't too old to die
    But I sure am hard to beat

    But I'm lonely
    Lord I'm lonely
    What am I gonna do

    Ride on
    Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
    Ride on
    Ride on, going the wrong way
    Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
    Ride on, one of these days
    One of these days

    Ride on
    Ride on
    I'm gonna ride on
    Ride on, looking for a truck
    Ride on, hmmmm
    Ride on, keep on riding
    Riding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
    Ride on, gonna have myself a good time
    Ride on, ohh yeah
    Ride on, yeah yeah
    Ride on, one of these days
    Ride on, one of these days
     
  19. The following is a true story
    Only the names have been changed
    To protect the guilty

    Well I left my job in my home town
    And I headed for the smoke
    Got a rock 'n' roll band and a fast right hand
    Gonna get to the top
    Nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing

    So if you've got the money, we've got the sound
    You put it up and we'll put it down
    If you've got the dollar, we've got the song
    Just wanna boogie woogie all night long
    Yeah boogie

    I got holes in my shoes
    I got holes in my teeth
    I got holes in my socks
    I can't get no sleep
    I'm trying to make a million

    And I got patches on the patches
    On my old blue jeans
    Well they used to be blue
    When they used to be new
    When they used to be clean

    But I've got a Mumma who's a hummer
    Just keeping me alive
    While I'm in the band doing drinking with the boys
    She's working 9 to 5
    She knows her place that woman

    Just you wait
    One of these days see me driving round town
    In my Rock 'n' Rolls Royce with the sun roof down
    My bottle of booze, no summer time blues
    Shouting out, "Look at me"
    In my rock 'n' roll voice

    No it ain't no fun, yeah
    Waiting round to be a millionaire
    No it ain't no fun
    Waiting round to be a millionaire

    Do you believe me
    It ain't no fun, no
    Waiting round to be a millionaire
    It ain't no fun, I don't care what they say
    Waiting round to be a millionaire

    Drive a Rolls Royce car
    No it ain't no fun, and you know it
    Waiting round to be a millionaire
    No, no, no, no , no, no, no
    No, ain't no fun
    Waiting round to be a millionaire

    Got a million dollar scream
    But it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), oh no
    No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), that's what I said
    But it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), and I wanna be rich
    No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun), ain't no fun digging this bitch
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire, you better believe me
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
    No it ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
    No it ain't no fun (ain't no fun)
    No it ain't no fun (ain't no fun)
    I ain't having no fun (ain't no fun)
    No it ain't no fun (ain't no fun)
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire, no no
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
    No it ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire

    "Hey Hello Howard, how ya doin'?
    "Next door neighbour?"
    "Oh yeah... Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport"

    (Ain't no fun, ain't no fun)
    No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun)
    Hey it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun)
    No it ain't no fun, (ain't no fun)
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
    Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire
    No it ain't no fun, no it ain't no fun, ain't no fun
    (Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire)
    (Ain't no fun...)
