Familiar story - Some of us shudder While some of us shrug These memories don't seem to add up All numb and blistered By forces telling you to keep small These careful words hold a curse He's not such a tortured soul and He's not mister wonderful He can't excuse all of this with alcohol Familiar story - Read it enough times It starts to sound true These melodies are sick from dread These silent forces Some of us shudder while some of us shrug These dim and dizzy patterns break We should not have left you hanging We had so many tools available We should have used everything in our arsenal All that time you were uncertain But you never were anyone's burden We should have been there to protect you

When the summer lies like a lazy dog And the dust is rising like a fine feathered fog And the hog is sleeping like a log Then the welcome wind like a long lost friend Brings the clouds along And the thunder sits in the rumble seat And the mist comes driftin' on your hot swollen feet And the heat and haze and thunder meet And the rain comes down in her silver gown And simply stands around And the light and the water share the same sky In the same hour Hallelujah It's a sunshower Hallelujah It's a sunshower Such is love my friend in the early days When your hopes are rising through a hole in the haze In a daze but there's a second phase On the second thought when you find you're caught In a moving maze And the sadness comes without your consent And you find yourself explaining all the things that you meant You'll repent, and try to pay the rent But the tears will fall, walkin' down the hall On eviction day And regret and relief share the same sigh In the same hour Hallelujah Love's a sunshower Hallelujah Love’s a sunshower

Wooden Planes (Jimmy Webb) -------------------------- Wooden planes, propellers spinning in the West Texas wind. We ran behind. You know we laughed, we thought our little flight would never end. You were my brother and I, I knew you were my friend. I wish that we were chasing after wooden airplanes once again. The road's been long. You know I've done some good, and yes, I guess I've done some bad. I've sung my song. You know sometimes I swear I think I've gone completely mad. If the story of my life ever makes you sad, remember when we were a-chasing after wooden airplanes. Yes, I believe that was the finest time.

>>WHY "CHECKERS" BECAME "CHESS" How do I get to MacArthur Park? Bake it, man: bake cake How do I get to MacArthur Park? Make it, man: make cake I will take my life in my hands And then I will use it I will win the worship in your eyes And I will have each thing that I desire Then, I’ll lose it My passion will flow like rivers And after all the loves of my life I will be thinking of you And wondering, “Why?” MacArthur Park is melting in the dark And all the sweet, green icing flowing down ‘Cos someone left the cake out in the rain Come over and dance My striped pair of pants In front of the outdoor bakery on display Your sleek cotton dress Old men playing chess In front of the outdoor bakery on display I don't think that I can fake it Took so long to bake it I’ve been dealt the highest stake: How best to bake a cake when that cake takes so long to make? And I have been through the desert On a horse with no name In the desert, you can remember Your name ‘cos there ain’t no one for to give you no more shame You’re special I’m special This cake is On special We don’t wait for spring We’re always the king In front of the outdoor bakery on display MacArthur’s a park Melting in the dark In front of the outdoor bakery on display Don’t think I can fake Takes too long to make To add to the outdoor bakery on display Melting in the rain No recipe, again Goodbye to the outdoor bakery on display!
