always the bridesmaid

And I did not know her name, and I did not know here name

But I sure love the way that she laughed and took my money

And I did not know here name, and I did not know her name

But I sure loved the way that she laughed and called me honey
“Silver Train” by The Rolling [...]

Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The incredible D. Public Enemy number one

We have reached the end of BLT week…

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man

You slide so good with bones so fair

You’ve got the universe reclining in your hair

Cause you’re my baby, yes you’re my love

Oh girl I’m just a jeepster for your love
“Jeepster” by T. Rex

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears

And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair

I hear the sound of a gentle word

On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

And it won’t get more profound

Time is a game, only children play well

How can I love you

If you won’t lie down

Little girl, you’re old enough to understand,

That you’ll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land.

The men are gonna come while you’re fast asleep,

so you better just stay close and hold on to me.

If my little mocking bird don’t sing,

Then daddy won’t buy her no diamond ring.

Lay me on the shores

Of the fiery shores

I don’t want to love

Anymore

Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can’t you hear the steel rail humming
That’s a hobo’s lullaby
“Hobo’s Lullaby” by Woody Guthrie
