Down by the River, live. (lyrics) Be on my side, I’ll be on your side, baby There is no reason for you to hide It’s so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride. Yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow, send me away Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river, Dead, oh, shot her dead. You take my hand, I’ll take your hand Together we may get […]
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, live. I am not going to include lyrics with the song. If you do not know them by heart, I cannot fathom how you missed it. I told a friend that I like doing Beatle covers. Her reaction was, “Ah gawd, I HATE THEM! I had to take an entire semester course about them in college.” That freaked me out, they teach Beatles in College? What the ‘bleep’? Guess it sounded just as strange when I […]
Heart of Gold, live. Have to do music every so often , to keep that muscle strong. (lyrics) I want to live, I want to give I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold. It’s these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold. And I’m getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. I’ve been to Hollywood I’ve been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of […]
Parachute Woman. No much to say here, other than the song should stomp.
Beast of Burden. (lyrics) I’ll never be your beast of burden My back is broad but it’s a hurting All I want is for you to make love to me I’ll never be your beast of burden I’ve walked for miles my feet are hurting All I want is for you to make love to me Am I hard enough Am I rough enough Am I rich enough I’m not too blind to see I’ll never be your beast of burden So […]
Election Day. From my version of the tune, you would never fathom that the writers were a band called Arcadia, a splinter group of Duran Duran. (lyrics) Wild kind of look to the day Opening eyes impale neon flickers She moon, she turning away The city’s her slave and he’s cheating his mistress She’s moody and grey She’s mean and she’s restless All over you as they say Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force Hi guys, by the way Are […]

(lyrics) In the sweet old country where I come from Nobody ever works Yeah nothing gets done We hang fire, we hang fire You know MARRYING MONEY is a full time JOB I DONT NEED the AGGRAVATION I’m a LAZY SLOB I hang fire, I hang fire Hang fire, put it on the wire I got nothing to eat I got nowhere to work Nothing to drink Just lost my shirts I’m on the dole i ain’t for hire Say […]
Dead Flowers. (lyrics) Well when you’re sitting there in your silk upholstered chair Talkin’ to some rich folk that you know Well I hope you won’t see me in my ragged company Well, you know I could never be alone Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you’re the queen of the underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the mail Send me dead flowers to my wedding And […]
a Woman in Love {It’s Not Me} cover. Here is a thought, “Grief is Love’s Unwillingness TO LET GO!!” (lyrics) She laughed in my face, told me goodbye Said “Don’t think about it, you can go crazy Anything can happen, anything can end Don’t try to fight it, don’t try to save me” She’s a woman in love And he’s gonna break her heart to pieces She don’t wanna see She’s a woman in love, but it’s not me Well alright, do […]
Been a Long While. (lyrics) I can sing of Love and Faith all day. Without Action, the Words are Buried in a Grave. I’m Lucky to be Alive. I’m Lucky to be Sane. Ya know, I earned my seat And I wouldn’t change a thing. When you saw me, you couldn’t believe your eyes. Let’s Breathe in Hope and Look Towards Good Times. I’m Glad to See You Smile. I’m Glad to See You Grin. Ya know, it’s been, It’s Been a […]
Ballad of John. (lyrics) John is like every man. We are all flawed. Nobody’s perfect. He goes to Extremes to Feel anything, Anything but Numbed. Is He so Mean to Her just because It’s Not Him Who She Loves? He wants to be Worshiped. She wants to be Safe. Build them a Castle Made of Mirrors, See Which One Breaks. Is He so Mean to Her just because It’s Not Him Who She Loves? John is like every man. Now he is […]
