Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

a whole lot to choose from!!
And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Doin' the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill
Just jammin' to some Feat tonite:smokingbo

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Eagles "Desperado"

I know your fear of loss
And your struggles with faith
And how it takes everything that you have to face the day
The virtues you possess now bring you eternal pain
All you have is contempt for a life you can't obtain
All your heroes have failed you
Yet you try and prevail
Face your torment and dismantle your doubt
Refuse this legacy of shame and deceit
Cause the only real truth in your life that you know is hostility

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...

As Call was getting into his wagon, a newspaperman ran up, a red-headed boy scarcely twenty years old, white with excitement and what he had just seen.
"Captain Call?" he asked. "I write for the Denver paper. They pointed you out to me. Can I speak to you for a minute?"
Call mounted the dun and caught the mule's lead rope. "I have to ride, " he said. "It's still a ways to Texas."
He started to go, but the boy would not give up. He strode beside the dun, talking, much as Clara had, except that the boy was merely excited. Call thought it strange that two people on one trip would follow him off.
"But, Captain, " the boy said. "They say you were the most famous Ranger. They say you've carried Captain McCrae three thousand miles just to bury him. They say you started the first ranch in Montana. My boss will fire me if I don't talk to you. They say you're a man of vision."
"Yes, a hell of vision, " Call said. He was forced to put spurs to the dun to get away from the boy, who stood scribbling on a pad.

Was listening to this song today. I used to LOVE this song. It's been so long since i've heard it, so, here i post.
Seal- Kiss from a Rose.
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

And now that your rose is in bloom.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.
Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrows just another day
And I dont believe in time
- Hootie & the Blowfish

This song always reminds me of my first few years out of school working. Needless to say I may not have been the most responsible.
eace:
I can’t find my bicycle how did I get home
It hurts to hold my head to the phone
Where’d all my money go can you tell me did I lose it
Lose it all don’t you know
Man I feel so used up
But if I slowed down would it all catch up
Yeah at least I see the sunrise
Oh it eats up my mind
Yeah just like her at my side
And by the way what’s going on tonight
Think I gotta go to work Jesus Christ I’m late
Oh man oh man I gotta go
Thanks for all your help last night
Don’t you worry everything will be alright

Though I thoroughly enjoy this one, I've always found more romantic The Rain Song.
The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime.

That paragraph means a lot to me because i first heard them around the time when my grandpa was talking crazy in the nursing home about 6 months before he died. He's tell these ridiculous stories about running a horse off a bridge, the sheriff chasing him through town and other crazy things that made no sense to me at the time...
Then i heard those words and i realized he was telling me stories from his childhood days.

Pressed Rat & Wart Hog
By ginger baker and mike taylor (Cream)
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didnt want to; twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rats collection of dog legs and feet.
Sadly they left, telling no one goodbye.
Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie.
Between them, they carried a three-legged sack,
Went straight round the corner and never came back

I would like to share something with you guys. I wrote these lyrics with the help of some tumb-stones-sayings.
I named it, The beautiful city of the Dead.
Weep not for me, my friends so dear.
I am not dead, just sleeping here.
My grassy bed, my grave you see.
Prepare for life to follow me.
We see our friends are around us falling.
We see them buried deep in dust.
In solemn silence yet they're calling.
Prepare for death, for die you must.
A law eternal does decree
that all things born should mortal be.
Though worms my poor body
may claim as their prey,
Twill outshine when rising
the sun at midday.
Be wise ye living while you may
Prepare against the coming day
When you as low as I must lay
Your souls from hence be called away.
Now deep in earth this bed of sighs,
I wait till i, like fire, shall rise.
In latter days, the healing rain
shall wash away these tears of pain.
Then will my voice in great goodbye's
join to the chorus of the skies.
…And that's the end of it. The last paragraph is my fav.
Hope you guys like it too.

I used to love her,
but i had to kill her
I used to love her,
but i had to kill her
I had to put her, six feet under
and I can still hear her complain
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her,
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I used to love her,
but i had to kill her
She bitched so much,
she drove me nuts
And now we're happier this way, alright
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I used to love her
but I had to kill her
She bitched so much,
she drove me nuts
and I can still hear her complain
but i had to kill her
I used to love her,
but i had to kill her
I had to put her, six feet under
and I can still hear her complain
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her,
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I used to love her,
but i had to kill her
She bitched so much,
she drove me nuts
And now we're happier this way, alright
I used to love her,
but I had to kill her
I used to love her
but I had to kill her
She bitched so much,
she drove me nuts
and I can still hear her complain

Matchbox 20: "How Far We've Come"
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every other morning before,
now i wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
the cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that
and I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
chorus:
but i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
i think it turned ten o'clock but i don't really know
then i can't remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and i couldn't stop myself
i started running but there's no where to run to
i sat down on the street and took a look at myself
said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to
i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
