Sing me a song, you’re a singer
Do me a wrong, you’re a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you’re a taker
So it’s on and on and on, it’s heaven and hell, oh well

RIP Ronnie James Dio

I went to a Dio gig many years ago in Sydney and saw him again when he was here with Black Sabbath a couple of years ago here in newcastle. His voice was still as strong as ever.

He said I was in my early 40’s
With a lot of life before me
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, lookin at the x-rays
Talkin bout the options and talkin bout sweet time.
Asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end.
How’s it hit ya, when you get that kind of news.
Man what ya do
And he says,

I went sky divin
I went rocky mountain climbin
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fumanchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’ve been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin

He said I was finally the husband
That most the time I wasn’t
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all the sudden goin fishing
Wasn’t such an imposition.
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book
And I took a good long hard look at what I’d do
If I could do it all again

I love that Tim McGraw song

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there’s nothing he shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are! :laugh:

What is it that make me just a little be queasy?
There’s a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
I’ve had my lungs checked out with X rays
I’ve smelled the hospital hallways
Someday I’ll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I’ll wear pyjamas in the daytime
Times when the day is like a play be Sartre
When it seems a bookburning’s in perfect order-
I gave the doctor my description
I’ve tried to stick to my persciptions
Someday I’ll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I’ll wear pyjamas in the daytime
Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot
Maybe if I couls do a play-by-playback
I could change the test results that I will get back
I’ve watched the summer evenings pass by
I’ve heard the rattle in my bronchi…

Miniature golf and hondas in the hills

When we rode the horse we got some thrills
Every now and the we hear our song
(every now and the we hear our song)
We’ve been having fun all summer long

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY MOUNTAIN HOME
WHERE ALL THE LADIES NAMES ARE JOAN
WHERE HUSBANDS WORK BACK LATE AT NIGHT
HOPES ARE UP FOR TROUSERS DOWN
WITH HOSTESS ON A BUSINESS FLIGHT
TAXI IN A MERCEDES DRIVE
I HOPE THAT DRIVER’S COMING OUT ALIVE
THE GARDEN IS A DORSETTED
THAT LADY – SHE’S SO CORSETED
SHE’S GOT 15 WAYS TO LEAD THAT BOY ASTRAY
HE THINKS HE’S ONE AND ONLY
BUT THAT LOVELY SHE’S SO LONELY
SHE PUMPS HIM FULL OF BREAKFAST AND SHE SENDS HIM ON HIS WAY
WHAT A SING SONG DANCE
WHAT A PERFORMANCE
WHAT A CHEAP TENT SHOW
OH NO NO NO NO NO

CHORUS
THEN THE BOYS LIGHT UP
THEN THE BOYS LIGHT UP (X2)
THEN THE BOYS LIGHT UP
THEN THE BOYS LIGHT UP – LIGHT UP – LIGHT UP

SILENTLY SHE OPENS THE DRAWER
MOTHERS LITTLE HELPER IS COMING OUT FOR MORE
STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED BEFORE THE MIDDAY SHOW
HER BACK IS ARCHED THOSE LIPS ARE PARCHED
REPEATED BLOW BY BLOW
LATER AT THE PARTY ALL THE MPs RAVE
ABOUT THE HUMMERS SHE’S BEEN GIVING
AND THE MONEY THAT THEY SAVE
TO HER IT IS SKIN LOTION
FOR HIS PROMOTION TO
THAT FLAT IN SURFERS PARADISE WITH THE OCEAN VIEW
WHAT A SING SONG DANCE
WHAT A PERFORMACE
WHAT A CHEAP TEN SHOW
OH NO NO NO NO NO

‘m a road man, a load man, eighteen wheels and a serious plan
Ain’t nothin’ gonna go gettin’ outta hand while I’m behind the wheel
I’m on fire, and I’m wired, full of diesel and ready for hire
I’m buildin’ a rollin’ empire of blood, sweat and steel

I don’t waste time, I make time, tearin’ a strip off the white line
I’m a professional man, I’m one of a kind, and I know how to bring it in
I’ve got a clean slate in five states, and twenty-nine that ain’t so great
Fourteen that’ll have to wait, and two I’ve never been

I’m a road hammer, a white knuckled steel gear jammer
Rig jockey highway slammer, I’m just doin’ what I gotta do
I’m a road hammer, double talkin’ CB grammer
Haul your load from Alabama all the way to Timbuktoo

I’ve hauled the left coast, the west coast
California sun where they’re chillin’ the most
Follow 309 Teddy Bears ghost, All the way to New Orleans
I’ve been from Thunder Bay, to PA
All the way down to FLA, And every little town along the way
There ain’t much that I haven’t seen

I’m a road hammer, a white knuckled steel gear jammer
Rig jockey highway slammer, I’m just doin’ what I gotta do
I’m a road hammer, double talkin’ CB grammer
Haul your load from Alabama all the way to Timbuktoo

Bridge:Another day, another town
Diesel up, and hammer down

Little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got
Little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got

Well I’m not braggin’ babe so don’t put me down
But I’ve got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don’t even try
Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
She’s my little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don’t know what I got)

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she’ll walk a thunderbird like (she’s) it’s standin’ still
She’s ported and relieved and she’s stroked and bored
She’ll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
She’s my little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don’t know what I got)

She’s got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that ain’t enough to make you flip your lid
There’s one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy

And comin’ off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows ’em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it’s hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears

She’s my little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don’t know what I got)
She’s my little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don’t know what I got)
She’s my little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got

My pappy said “Son your gonna drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop drivin’ that Hot Rod Lincoln”

Have you heard the story of the hot rod race
Where the Fords and Lincolns were settin’ the pace?
That story is true I’m here to say
I was drivin’ that model A.

It’s got a Lincoln motor and it’s really souped up
That a Model A body makes it look like a pup
It’s got eight cylinders and uses ’em all
Got overdrive, just won’t stall

With a four barrel carb and dual exhausts
With four-eleven gears you can really get lost
Got safety tubes, but I ain’t scared
The brakes are good, the tires fair

Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
And the moon and the stars were shining bright
We was drivin’ up Grapevine Hill
Passin’ cars like they was standing still

All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said, “Boys, that’s a mark for me!”
By then the tail lights was all you could see

Now the fellas ribbed me for being behind
So thought I’d make the Lincoln unwind
Took my foot of the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into over drive

Wound it up to a-hundred-and-ten
My speedometer said that I hit top end
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
That’s all there is and there ain’t no more

Now the boys all thought that I’d lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said “Slow down, I see spots!”
The lines on the road just looked like dots

Took a corner, Side-Swiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck My Fenders was clickin’ the guard rail posts
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

Smoke was coming from outta of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don’t ya know by then we’d be low on gas?

Had flames comin’ from outta the side
Feel the tension, man what a ride
I said “Look out boys, I’ve got a license to fly”
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

Now all of the sudden she started to knockin’
And down in a dips she started to rockin’
I looked in the mirror, a red light was blinkin’
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln

They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
He said “Son, you’re gonna to drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop drivin’ that Hot Rod Lincoln”

Hey girl, let’s go for a spin
Hop in my hot rod and do it again
You’ve got a greenhouse effect on me
I know a secret spot paradise by the sea
We’ll find a place to park this kinda cool after dark

We’ll take a triop on up to the lake
Down by the river where we can make
Out on the island, pick up on the cape
Punch up your favourite station

When we go cruisin’, well everything is alright
Come on, let’s cruise, you got nothin’ to lose
Baby, when we go cruisin’, yeah

Baby, put your top down, parade around downtown
People tryin’ to cool down, party all summer long

Come on, let’s cruise, you got nothin’ to lose ….

Everybody got a favourite spot, where they like to come a lot

When we go cruisin’, well everything is alright
Come on, let’s cruise, you got nothin’ to lose
Baby, when we go cruisin’, yeah

People dancin’ in the sand, rock into a reggae band
Lovers walkin’ hand in hand, party all summer long

Come on, let’s cruise, you got nothin’ to lose ….
Come on, let’s cruise, you got nothin’ to lose ….

I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun,
youve got your hair pulled back
and those sunglasses on baby
I can say that my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer are gone

what it is a burning flame
a fire out of control
what it is a chance in the world
for sanity down the road
what it is.a simple thing
that everybody needs
what it is the chance to bring
all of us together
LOVE SOMEBODY

[drewMember]

I’ve been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I cant reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you, And all you know, And how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night, while you live it up, I’m off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it’s gonna make you notice
I hope it’s gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody
