john mellankamp - cherry bomb

http://youtu.be/KF0gsbQKhD8



well . . . i lived on the outskirts of town
in an eight room farmhouse, baby
when my brothers and friends were around
there was always somethin' doin'
had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
stopped by to see me every once in a while
when i think back about those days
all i can do is sit and smile

that's when a sport was a sport
and groovin' was groovin'
and dancin' meant everything
we were young and we were improvin'
laughin', laughin' with our friends
holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
outside the club "cherry bomb"
our hearts were really thumpin'
say yeah yeah yeah
say yeah yeah yeah

the winter days they last forever
but the weekends went by so quick
went ridin' around this little country town
we were goin' nuts, girl, out in the sticks
one night, me with my big mouth
a couple guys had to put me in my place
when i see those guys these days
we just laugh and say do you remember when

that's when a sport was a sport
and groovin' was groovin'
and dancin' meant everything
we were young and we were improvin'
laughin', laughin' with our friends
holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
outside the club "cherry bomb"
our hearts were really thumpin'
say yeah yeah yeah
say yeah yeah yeah

say yeah yeah yeah
say yeah yeah yeah

seventeen has turned thirty-five
i'm surprised that we're still livin'
if we've done any wrong
i hope that we're forgiven
got a few kids of my own
and some days i still don't know what to do
i hope that they're not laughing too loud
when they hear me talkin'
like this to you

that's when a sport was a sport
and groovin' was groovin'
and dancin' meant everything
we were young and we were improvin'
laughin', laughin' with our friends
holdin' hands meant so much, baby
outside the club "cherry bomb"
our hearts were really thumpin'
say yeah yeah yeah
say yeah yeah yeah

Eagles with Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne - Take It Easy

1974 . . . ooohhhhhhh the memorys . . .

http://youtu.be/vQjH1EADMp0



Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord
In a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
And take it easy

Well I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

ooh ooh ooh . . .
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy . . .

Santana - Smooth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXp413NynFk





Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cold
My mu equita
My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove, yeah

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out
Well out from the barrio you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it
(Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it)
Oh, let's don't forget about it
Let's don't forget about it, yeah
Oh, no, no
Oh, let's don't forget about it . . .

Eric Clapton - White Room

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvnWuOjJDh4





In the white room with black curtains near the station
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWnapx502uQ





Hello,
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?

Come on
Now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like
Two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You would not understand
This is not how I am

I . . . Have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working
Good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on
It's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone

I . . . Have become comfortably numb
