Sometimes it isn't the song but the version...

Would you like to swing on a star
carry moonbeams home in a jar

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

My baby is American made.
Born and bred in the USA.

Mama, just killed a man, put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again

Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood

Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
Don't disturb me now I can see the answers
Till this evening is this morning life is fine
Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll still talk about us when we've died

That last one, for some reason, dropped in to this one:

that deaf, dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pinball

I know this is about the lyrics, but in your head is it the Who or Elton John singing them? It actually changes the direction my head takes...

The Who

The end...is just a little harder, when brought about by friends.

I'm thankful you didn't say Rod Stewart.


When I first read it, my head jumped all over:

Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet


After I stopped to think about it, I ended up in some dark New York alley in the '70's...it was ugly:

I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet
Down where Lexington cross 47th Street
She's a big girl, she's standing six foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city

I used to be a rolling stone you know
If a cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beating for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say the more my work gets done

^ Never seen that. When it started, I planned to hate it...my plan failed. Two thumbs up

I hear the music daylight disc
Three men in black said, "Don't report this...
Ascension," and that's all they said
Sickness now the hour of dread

Don't think it was ignited from something posted above, but at any rate, this is burning a hole in my head:

I stepped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said "You must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes?"

One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Close the door, put out the light.
You know they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold.
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through.

They choose the path where no-one goes.
