Conference rdvax::grateful

    Here's a partial answer ...
    
    1.  Wet Willie ... Keep on Smilin'
    2.  Chicago ... Make Me Smile
    3.  Stevie Wonder ... Boogie On Reggae Woman
    4.  Three Dog Night ... can't recall the title
    5.  Chicago ... can't recall the title
    
    						... Bob
    

    5. Only the Beginning.  Nice tune
    
    tim
    

    Both Chicago tunes are very early.  I'm pretty sure Only the Beginning
    is on their first album, Chicago Transit Authority.  The other one may
    be there too.
    
    I gotta go lie down till this flashback is over :-).

    >> I gotta go lie down till this flashback is over :-).
    
    Whoa!  Don't do that! There's still more to come ;^)
    
    Thanks for all the help so far, the album names help too!
    .
     Here's a couple more to work on:
    
    6) Joe Cocker (?), Title
    
       Woman of the country
       now I've found you
       Longin (??? in your softenfortaldinto ;^) ???)
       (??? Somethin somethin ???) to satisfy
       your longing for the warmth and tender shelter
         of my body
    
       Oh your my, yes your my (??? somethin ???) lady
       Me oh my (??? somethin ???) lady
    
    
     7) Elton John (?), Title
    
       I hope the day will bring a lighter highway
       for friends I found and never wrote
       Can you ever think of a better way
       for the lost and weary traveller to go
    
       Makin firends, for the world to see
       let the people know
       you got what they need
       with a friend at hand 
       you will see the light
       if you're friends are there 
       then everything's alright
    
    8) Eric Clapton, title?  (an easy one, I'm embarrassed to be asking ;^)
    
       Tell me that you love me 
       as often as you can
    
    9) Artist? Title? (Still Wine maybe or somethin like that...)
    
       I was outside strolling on a very hot summer day
       when I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
       in a big field of tall grass
       I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
       and I fell asleep and dreamed
       I dreamed I was in a Hlloywood movie
       and I was the star of this movie
       This really blew my mind
       that me, an over-fed, long-haired leapig gnome
       should be the star of a hollywood movie
       hmmm
       but there I was....
    
    10) Jackson Browne (?), Title?
    
       Papers lie there helplessly
       in a pile outside the door
       I tried and tried
       but I just can't remember what they're for
       the world outside is tugging 
       like a beggar at my sleave
       that's much too old a story to believe
       
       You know it's taken it's share of me
       Even though you've taken such gopod care of me
       You say Morocco - that makes me smile
       I haven't seen Morroco for a long long while
       Dreams are rollin gdown the places of my mind 
       and I just had a taste of something fine...
    
    
    Here's some more of what I can make out of 4)
    
    4) Three Dog Night, Title?
    
       Well I never been to Spain
       But I kinda like the music
       Say the ladies are insane there 
       and they sure know how to use it
       they don't abuse it
       never gonna lose it
       I can't refuse it
    
       Well I never been to England,
       but I kinda like the Beatles
       Well I headed to Las Vegas
       Only made it out to ......?
       Can you feel it
       must be music
       feel so good
       feel so good
    
       well I never been to Heaven
       but I've been to Oklahoma
       they tell me I was born there 
       but I really don't remember
       in Oklahoma
       or Arizona
       what does it matter
       what does it matter
    
     
    Have fun!!!  and THANKS!!!

    9 is by War - Spill the wine

    Hi Glenn,
    
    7. (Elton John) is the title song to the album 'Friends', also a
    soundtrack to an obscure (read that 'bad') movie.
    
    Working on the others.
    
    tim
    

    6.  (this is a stretch) Delta Lady?
    
    What the hell, might as well guess, huh?
    
    tim
    

    The Three Dog Night tune is "Never Been to Spain", I think.
    
    The Elton John tune is "Friends", from an album of the same name. I
    think it was the soundtrack to some awful movie in the early 70's.
    
    John

    I was writing .12 while .10 snuck in. What the heck--it proves I'm
    here!
    
    John

    # 10 - The Jackson Browne song is "Something Fine", from his
    first album, I think ("Jackson Browne", aka "Saturate before
    Using").
    
    ...Robert
    

    
    A friend of mine has been goin' batty for the past couple of weeks
    trying to figure out what song he has in his head...I think we all know
    the feelin'.  Anyhow here is a note he passed on to me to try and help
    him out.  So if anyone out there knows this song you would make someone
    very happy.
    

	Since I haven't heard the song in a while, I can only remember a few
        of the actual lyrics... I think this chorus is correct though...
        thanks for your help.

	Here are several lines, not necessarily in order...
        

	I hear you're going through some changes.


        You started looking like a burn out,
	You're lookin' like you might have stayed out all night.
	You .................... to drive me crazy.
	You drive a man stark raving wild.

	chorus...?

	       Oh, Nicole'
	       My sweet Nicole'
	       Oh, Nicole'
	       Sweet, Sweet Nicole'


	This has sort of a ZZ TOP sound to it, although I've been told that it
	isn't them. Lead singer is reminiscent of early Steve Winwood. 


    Happy Cheese-
    Jerry

    

    I think this is "Nicole" by an abomination called "Point Blank". It was
    a hit in 1981.
    
    John

I think I overheard someone say that James Brown has been released from prison
... is this true?

HAH!

- Dave

Speaking of James Brown, does anybody know what album has the song "Papa Has
a Brand New Bag"  (or something close to this) ?

Ronnie Earl and his band played this a while back;  something they do not play
very often.... great FUNKy sounding tune!!!!!!!!

He's been out on work-release (what ever that means) for a while but was 
officially paroled this week.

Scott

re JC

>Speaking of James Brown, does anybody know what album has the song "Papa Has

Hmm, not sure ... there's a live version on the "Live at the Apollo" album,
though.

Your note made me think of another FUNKy tune ... "Funky Broadway."  Is this
song by Wilson Pickett?  

re Scott

>He's been out on work-release (what ever that means) for a while but was 

Well, he is the Hardest Working Man in Rock and Roll .... ;^)

    how bout JB's last big hit..."Livin in AmeriKa" (Ow Ow Ow Ow!)

    yeah DC!  James is out!  He was interviewed right away and the press 
    asked. "How do you FEEEEEEL?"  And he chuckled and quietly said, "I
    feel good".

And I hear he's going to warm up for the Dead in NY this month ....

Whoops, we're digressing.

    Does anyone know the lyrics to Stander on the Mountain by Bruce
    Hornsby???
    
    Also is there a way to do a directory of all the entries in a note (to
    see the titles) so I could tell if these lyrics have already been
    posted?
    
    Happy Cheese-
    Jerry

    
    dir 137.* would give you a directory of this note.
    
    

    Jerry, I got the CD at home, I'll type it up and mail it to you
    and anyone else who might like the words to Stander on the Mountain.
    
    Chris

    
    >-< I don't think Hornsby lyrics should printed, yes ? no ? >-
    
    Humm - I didn't think of that.  I was just listening to the Paris show
    where Stander on the Mountain made its debut.  The lyrics sounded
    pretty good but I had a hard time understand Hornsby as some points.  I
    would like to read the lyrics - but please don't thru any trouble.  BTW
    how is the album?  Compared to other Hornsby albums?  Oh no am I
    digressing?
    
    Happy Cheese-
    Jerry

    the rest of the Hornsby album is cool too...  i say check it out but
    then i have liked Hornsby for a long time...  it's like asking a
    deadhead if he should by workingman's or not! :^)
    
    as for printing the lyrics...  strict interpretation of copyright
    laws would probably mean that they should not be posted....  your
    mileage may vary...  da ve's advice in situations like this where
    the legality is questionable (speakin from under the shady visor of my
    big moderator hat from hell) would be not to post...

hey now da ve!

I was thinking of this on the ride to school last night.  The idea I came
up with :) is that since Hornsby played that tune with the dead and the
dead allow taping at shows - and we can post dead lyrics without offending
anyone (moderaters and other such folk) then wouldn't the same thing
apply to Hornsby and any other guest who performs with the Dead with 
an aformentioned knowledge that their material will be taped and traded
and and and...

I dunno - I guess if you are ignorant to all the laws surrounding this
(like me) then you can rationalize anything, anyway you want it to be :)

maybe this note ought to be elsewhere,

My friend Wally asked me to interpret this R.E.M. lyric for him...


	Follow me don't follow me
	I've got my spine
	I've got my Orange Crush.

Any clues?  :-)

>Any clues?  :-)

    I hear the first line as "Follow me, don't fall on me," but Stipe
    mumbles so much it's hard to tell.  Lessee, "spine" could refer to
    "backbone" or "balls" in the sense that the singer is a leader, a
    decision maker.  And he's chosen Orange Crush as his soft drink.  As a
    leader, he wants followers, but not those who follow so close that they
    walk, or fall, all over him and impede his progress.  In a time when
    there's little real leadership to be found, Stipe is making the point
    that anyone who stands up and makes a decision, even on a mundane
    matter such as what to drink, becomes a leader.

    I've got my Diet Pepsi; queue up three paces behind, you spineless
    jellyfish who'll drink whatever's handed to you.

    Jamie 

>	Follow me don't follow me
>	I've got my spine
>	I've got my Orange Crush.

I always interpreted this song ("Orange Crush") as being sung by a 
soldier in Viet Nam.  I think he's referring to the defoliant known as 
Agent Orange that the US used to flush out and fight the Viet Cong.  
So what he's saying is, I've got my nerve, I've got my supply of 
deadly toxins, and I've got the backing of good old Uncle Sam, so what 
else do I need here in this lovely jungle setting?  I interpret this 
way from other lyrics in the song:

	We are agents of the free
	...
	I've had my fun
	And now it's time
	To serve your conscience overseas
	Comin' in FAST .... over me

I also get this from the part in the middle of the song where it 
sounds like a soldier talking about fighting in the jungle, while in 
the background is the sound of helicopters (big old Hueys, I guess).

tom

    according to my chronically misfiring brain cells:
    
    it is a Vietnam/Agent Orange tune...  comes from "the horses mouth"
    as it were by way of a radio interview some time ago...  fwiw i think
    Jamie actually has the lyric right "don't fall on me"...  and Tom is
    closer on the interpretation...  there are other references (somewhat
    obscure if i recall) to "don't fall on me"...  if i remember correctly
    there is a connection to the "spine" and other references to the effects 
    of the chemicals on the body (in this case the nervous system)...  the
    "orange cruch" is the agent orange chemical defoliant...
    
    					da ve

    re .37
    
    Tom should be closer -- I couldn't remember any of the other lyrics, so
    I made up my interpretation based on the chorus alone.  Yes, I am
    bored.
    
    Jamie

	Just in hearing that song, I always interpreted it as Agent Orange,
not the soda pop...

	REM has some interesting material...

Anybody know the lyrics to "Simple Twist of Fate"?











Jim

    Bob Dylan does.  Jerry Garcia knows most of 'em.

 I had a feeling that was coming :^)







Jim

	Simple Twist of Fate
	Bob Dylan

	They sat together in the park
	As the evening sky grew dark,
	She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones.
	'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
	And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

	They walked along by the old canal
	A little confused, I remember well
	And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright.
	He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
	Moving with a simple twist of fate.

	A saxophone somewhere far off played
	As she was walkin' by the arcade.
	As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up,
	She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
	And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

	He woke up, the room was bare
	He didn't see her anywhere.
	He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide,
	Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
	Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

	He hears the ticking of the clocks
	And walks along with a parrot that talks,
	Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in.
	Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
	Once more for a simple twist of fate.

	People tell me it's a sin
	To know and feel too much within.
	I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
	She was born in spring, but I was born too late
	Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

Thanks, Debess!

    GRATE LYRICS!!!!!

    Is the message of the song "God Bless the Child" really "don't pinch
    from your parent's stash"?
    
    Also, who did the song "Mindbender," featuring the high-tech talking
    guitar sound?  What's the guitar saying?  I can only make out "my momma
    was a ?????, my daddy was a ????"

Holy moly!  Last access date of the neuron just fired in my brain must've
been like 15 years ago ... why does the brain feel it necessary to store this
stuff, anyways?  Something like 

	"My momma was a Gibson ?
	 My daddy was a Fender
	 That's why they call me
	 Mindbender
	 Mindbender - that's my name
	
	 You better believe it baby
	 it was a mind bendin' thing"

Dear lord ... who did that song ....

    i believe that was Peter Frampton...

    Grinderswitch I'd guess or someother southern band of the mid to late
    70's...

    Grand Funk Railroad did a song call Mindbender. Don't know if it was
    the same one though.

    any grunge listeners have the words to the Pearl Jam song
    "evenflow"???? Thanks, I can't understand what they are sayin!!!!

  re: .18 (long time ago, but FWIW...)


   There's a recording of "I've got a bag of my own" on James Brown's "Do it to
   Death" album.  1973??

   The whole album is good (I especially like "I got ants in my pants and I 
   need to dance"). There are some nifty bass-lines on this album, as well
   as some pretty hot horns. 

   Here are some incomplete lyrics from "I got a bag of my own".


   I got a bag of my own!
 
   Now baby, stop all that gabbin'
   We don't need no back stabbin'

   ...

   Wait a minute!
   
   I sweat all day 
   and half of the night
   Take care of it 
   and handle it right
   My body's built like a 32-24-45 frame
   Don't shoot nothin', but ball and chain

   ...
  
   Don't knock it
   if you don't want to rock it

   I got a bag of my own

   (Lots of shrieking, hooting and hollering included, of course)

"HAH!"
	-- James Brown

JB just played GW last week - sorta bombed according to the reviews in the
Globe and the Phoenix.

NEway, I was listening to Beggars Banquet on the drive in this AM and
figured out some of the words to Street Fightin' Man that I never got before:

	"aayyyy, an' the neighbors call, disturb us"
	                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

but there's still a bunch more lines in S.F.M. I don't get.
 
I also am not sure the last line in Dear Doctor:

	"Oh mama, I'm cryin tears of relief
	 and my ???? is now under control."

where ???? sounds like "pus" !!! (Bleahgh!)  Anyone know?

Josh

Come down off your thrown
And leave you body alone

I Just ain't got the time,			
And I'm wasted and I 
Can't find my way home.

Could be. Its a distinct "m"-sounding syllable, though, I thought.

    I always heard it as 
    
    	"Well I'm near the end"
    
    It almost seems to fit in context as well.

    Sid,
    
    just jumping in for a moment to say that while i can't help you with 
    your missing lyrics, i very much like your personal name!  :^) :^)

    I'm glad there are still those that recognize that classic comic.  From
    faded and otherwise impaired memory:
    
    I was born down south on a chicken farm
    Near Nashville, Tennessee.
    Tweren't nobody there but a sky full of air,
    Seventeen billion chickens and me.
    Then one day I said "Hey, hey, hey"
    "I think I'll take some LSD."
    It blew my mind; it made me kind.
    So I set my chickens free.
    There were chickens in ????
    Chickens in the barn,
    Chickens in the cauliflower,
    Chickens in the corn.
    Chickens driving Cadillacs to Washington, D.C.
    When I set my chickens free.
    
    Sid

Great song by Gil Scott-Heron.  I've got the album but haven't listened
to it in years. Now that I've moved the stereo downstairs, maybe I'll locate
and see if I can help you out here.  Unfortunately, after seeing the LA
riots a few years ago, and the fires, and OJ's ride, and all sorts of 
other things, it is quite apparent that the revolution, if indeed it ever
comes about, will be very well televised!

    so who does "set my chickens free", Sid??
    BTW -HOWDY and WELCOME!

Welcome to the file!  I wonder if I had anything to do with your motivation to
complete the lyrics? :-)  Sorry I can't fill in the blanks, though.

For those of you wondering about the missing 'L' from my p-name, it's because
it would get truncated if the number of lines in my note took more than 2
digits to print, so I chose a letter to delete that would have minimal
emotional impact and not make me look like a total spelling-bee reject. :-)

My only exposure to this song was a video on the PBS show "the 90's" about 4
years ago.  I thought it was a real cool song, with a good message.

Sometimes I can't help but think the revolution *will* be televised :-(

    Peter...that's the sad thing...the revolution's already here and we
    don't even know it...just look at the inner cities and you'll know
    what i mean...
    
    			Dugo                          

    
>    so who does "set my chickens free", Sid??
    
    It's not a song (but there may be potential there).  Again, my memory
    is hazy on this (anyone who claims to remember anything about the 60s
    wasn't really there), but I think it was an R. Crumb comic strip.  It
    was probably in ZAP.  I can picture the comic and the style was
    definitely R. Crumb.  If anyone happens to have this particular strip
    somewhere, I would love to get a copy of it.  Another comic strip that
    I'd really like to get my hands on (for personal reasons) is "Mr.
    Natural Does the Dishes."  Any hope?

    Sid, I have stack of those old comix books, and may have the strip
    with the chicken stuff: I'll check my Zap's when I can get a chance.
    I probably do have the Mr. Natch strip, too.

  

    So, nobody knows the missing lyrics?
    
    Not long ago, I overheard a piece of a hallway conversation that led me
    to believe that there might be some sort of lyrics database somewhere
    out there on the internet.  Does anyone know if this was an auditory
    hallucination (Guatemalan floripondia, for those of you who may be
    familiar with this most bizarre flower) or if such a thing really
    exists?
    
    Sid

    There is a lyrics database available via ftp from cs.uwp.edu.  It also
    has gifs and jpegs of album cover art.  To get to the lyrics go to
    pub/music/lyrics  The lyrics are also mirrored at ftp.sunet.se in
    pub/music/lyrics and at ftp.informatik.tu-muenschen.de in
    pub/rec/music/vocal/lyrics.  There are in text file format at cs.uwp
    and in .gz format at ftp.informatik.
     
    its pretty neat...

How about the first few words to the first two verses of "Duncan" by Paul Simon?

Jim

    
    the couple in the next room are bound to win a prize
    they've been going at it all night long...
    well, i'm trying to get some sleep but these hotel walls are cheap
    lincoln duncan is my namer and here's my song...
    	here's my song....
    
    
    my father was a fisherman, my mother was a fisherman's friend
    and i was born in the boredom and the chowder...
    when i reached my prime, i left my home inthe maritimes and headed down
    the turnpike to new england
    	sweet new england....
    
    holes in my confidence, holes in the knees of my jeans...
    i was left without a penny in my pocket...
    whoooooeeee i's about as deperate as a kid could be 
    and i wished i'd wore a ring so i could hock it
    	i'd like to hock it...
    
    young girl in a parking lot, preaching to a crowd
    singing holy songs and reading fromthe bible
    i told her i was lost and she told me all about the pentacost 
    and i seen that girl as the road to my revival...
    
    later on that very same night when she crept to my tent with her
    flashlight, my long years of innocence ended...
    she took me to the woods saying "here comes something and it feels so
    good" and just like a dog i was befriended..
    	was befriended...
    
    oh what a night, what a garden of delight
    even now that sweet memory lingers...
    i was playing my guitar, laying underneath the stars
    and thankin' the lord for my fingers...
    	for my fingers....
    
    

    %^)...always liked that song...
    
    rfb

 and it is fun to play.

Jim

    what's the song Simon does that has the lyric "one and one-half
    wandering jews..." about him and a girl traveling out west??? I have
    the best of CD that also has Lincoln Duncun on it, haven't played it 
    in years.

    Someone way back when (was it you rfb?) asked about lyrics to Matt 
    Kelly's "Every Little Light" - his dedication to Jerry. Well, I 
    just happened to be listening to the tape of 8/9/95 Ratdog and tried 
    to figger 'em out as best I can - please feel free to add/correct. 
    But anyway here's my take:
    
    Every Little Light - Matt Kelly
    ---------------------------------
    Well there in starlight
    Bound by our love
    It's time to remember
    That love is alive
    
    It's day and night time
    There's joy and sorrow
    There's black and white
    This time we have is borrowed
    
    Cuz Every Little Light
    It shines on me
    Cuz Every Little Light
    It shines on me
    Oh sets me free
    Oh yes it does
    Every Little Light
    
    And yes we loved you
    From a long time ago
    And this is something
    We really wanted you to know
    And yes we're all ramblers
    And we just wanna be free
    And this is something
    I hope we can be
    
    Cuz Every Little Light
    It shines on me
    Every Little Light
    Lord, It shines on me
    Oh sets me free
    Oh yes it does
    Cuz Every Little Light
    

    thanks..........
