Re: Favorite Lyrics

All the snow has turned to water
Christmas days have come and gone
Broken toys and faded colors
Are all that's left to linger on

I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they rob me
Of my childhood souvenirs

Memories they can't be bottled
They can't be won at carnivals for free
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me

Broken hearts and dirty windows
Make life difficult to see
That's why last night and this mornin'
Always look the same to me

I hate reading old love letters
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they rob me
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs

Memories they can't be bottled
They can't be won at carnivals for free
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me

Re: Favorite Lyrics

Why Do you stare
Do you think that I care
You've been mislead
By the thoughts in your head
Your words waste and decay
Nothing you say
Reaches my ears anyway!
You never spoke a word of truth...

Re: Favorite Lyrics

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes,

And I knew without askin' she was into the blues.

She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls,

I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.

Some people's hot
Some people's cold
Some people's not very
Swift to behold
Some people do it
Some see right through it
Some wear pyjamas
If only they knew it

Santa Claus wears a red suit
He's a Communist.

Has a bear and long hair
Must be a pacifist.

And what's in the pipe that he's smoking?

Re: Favorite Lyrics

There's a few old corny country tunes that I always found funny ( I guess that could make them a favorite)

*You're the reason our kids are ugly - Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn

*Work your fingers to the bone- whadda ya get...bony fingers...bony fingers - Hoyt Axton

I know someone can help me.  What are Joe's lyrics in Slow Train, in the line after "Eighteen days in the cotton field"??

Appreciate the reply!  Yeah, thanks.  It's the "(?)" I'm looking for.  Even searches on Lyrics sites don't have it, that I can find so far.  Listened a hundred times and can't yet make it out.

The last phrase of that line sounded like it was French to me.

Re: Favorite Lyrics

Another that came to mind after listening to the Beacon show:

The radio is busted, down around my place
Every tool is rusted, down around my place
Creeks and rivers dried up, down around my place
My woman's tears are cried up, down around my place

Slow Train:     Hey Bill S, you're right!  No wonder couldn't make it out.  I finally found it:
"Eighteen days in the cottonfield,  enough to put a man out of COUP D'AMOUR".

Yikes!  Can anyone translate??

OK, I pulled Coach's trick.  Google Translate says "shot of love"...

Literal translation is "shot of love".
I actually hear something that sounds like "coup de vour"...but the translation doesn't make sense.

Re: Favorite Lyrics

Hendrix's Hear my train a coming.....This is also one of my favorite Guitar Riffs out there...
.
Well, I wait around the train station
Waitin' for that train
Waitin' for the train, yeah
Take me home, yeah
From this lonesome place
Well, now a while lotta people put me down a lotta changes
My girl had called me a disgrace...etc.

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually.........
