Boston Rag

Any news was good news, and the feeling was bad at home
I was out of my mind and you were on the phone
Lonnie was the kingpin back in nineteen sixty five
I was singing this song when Lonnie came alive
Bring back the Boston Rag,
Tell all your buddies that it aint no drag
Bring back the Boston Rag
You were Lady Bayside, there was nothing that I could do
So I pointed my car down Seventh Avenue
Lonnie swept the playroom and he swallowed up all he found
It was fourty eight hours till Lonnie came around
[Chorus]
[Chorus and fade

Dont Nobody Bring Me No Bad News

(charlie smalls)
When I wake up in the afternoon
Which it pleases me to do
Dont nobody bring me no bad news
cause I wake up already negative
And Ive wired up my fuse
So dont nobody bring me no bad news
If were going to be buddies
Better bone up on the rules
cause dont nobody bring me no bad news
You can be my best of friends
As opposed to payin dues
But dont nobody bring me no bad news
No bad news
No bad news
Dont you ever bring me no bad news
cause Ill make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So dont nobody bring me no bad news
When youre talking to me
Dont be cryin the blues
cause dont nobody bring me no bad news
You can verbalize and vocalize
But just bring me the clues
But dont nobody bring me no bad news
Bring some message in your head
Or in something you cant lose
But dont you ever bring me no bad news
If youre gonna bring me something
Bring me, something I can use
But dont you bring me no bad news

Please Come To Boston

(dave loggins)
He said please come to boston
For the springtime
Im stayin here with some friends
And theyve got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin soon
Please come to boston
I said no, boy would you come home to me
Chorus:
(and) I said, ramblin boy
Why dont you settle down
(boston, denver, l.a.) aint your kind of town
There aint no gold
And there aint nobody like me
Im the number one fan
Of the man from tennessee
He said, please come to denver
With the snowfall
Well move up into the mountains
So far we cant be found
And throw I love you echos
Down the canyons
And then lie awake at night
Until they come back around
Please come to denver
I just said no boy wont you come home to me
Repeat chorus:
Now that drifters word
Goes round and round
And I doubt if its ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams
Hes lost or found
And all that I aint got
Hes still needs to lean to
Somebody he can sing to
He said please come to l.a.
To live forever
A california life alone
Is just too hard to build
I live in a house that
Looks out over the ocean
And theres some stars
That fell from the sky
Livin up on the hill
Please come to l.a.
I just said no
Boy, wont you come home to me
Repeat chorus
Im the number one fan
Of the man from tennessee

Roll On

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)
Its monday morning, hes kissin momma goodbye
Hes up and gone with the sun
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And hes off on a midwest run
As three sad faces gather round momma
They ask her when daddys comin home
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And they sure miss him when hes gone (yeah they do)
Ah, but he calls them everynight and he tells them that he loves them
And he taught them this song to sing
(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)
Its wednesday evening, mommas waitin by the phone
It rings but its not his voice
Seems the highway patrol has found a jacknifed rig
In a snow bank in illinois
But the driver was missin and the search had been abandoned
For the weather had everything strong
And they had checked all the houses and local motels
When they had somemore news theyd call
And she told them when they found him to tell him that she loved him
And she hung up the phone singin
(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on
Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long
Thinkin nothing but the words just comin
With the ringin of the telephone
Oh, but the man upstairs was listening
When momma asked him to bring daddy home
And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end
Askin her if she had been singin the song, singin
(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler
(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)
Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Roll on
Roll on

On The Same Page

Some of you have questioned the necessity,
Of this morning's meeting.
And as C.E.O. of Rapid Mess Industries...
I felt it my duty and extreme importance,
That we all are on the same page as we move forward...
With our set agenda.

Now,
Before we begin...
Are there any questions?
No questions?
Great.
Lonnie?
'Yes, Mister Duke? '
Lonnie, I am going to list our accomplishments,
And you concur.
Understood?
'Yes, Mister Duke.'

Creation of environmental hazards?
'Check! '
Successful depletion of the middle class?
'Check! '
Ignoring the infrastructure?
'Check! '
The marketing of expicit decadence?
'Check! '
Creation of conflicts wherever they can be created?
'Check! '
Ruining the economy?
'Check! '
Devastation of race relations?
'Check! '
Imprisoning our citizens at alarming rates?
'Check! '
AND...
Last but not least,
Promoting our arrogance globally...
To ensure our policies are understood?
'And...
Check! '

'Oh...
Mister Duke?
There is one more thing not mentioned.'

And what would that be, Lonnie?

'Propaganda!
You did not mention any of it! '

No Lonnie.
It has been determined,
Our successes speak for themselves!

Good News- Bad News

Bad news-I am driving along and a car is bearing down me from the rear.
It keeps coming.

Bad news-The car hits my little car at 60 miles an hour-bam!

Good news-I keep control of the car for a second or two
then the car begins to skid.

Bad news-The car skids, swerves and overturns, flipping, flipping.
The world outside the wind shield revolves upside down.

Bad news-Things go blank and I see water coming into the car;
I had landed in the river.

Good news-I am sinking but not yet under water.

Bad news- The water starts to come in faster and faster.

Bad news- The water keeps coming in the car. It is sinking.
It is over my head.
I am drowning.

Bad news- I hold my breath for 30 seconds and decide that I will die here.
I regret that it has to be in the mud and silt of the river. Undignified. I take a deep breath ready to go.

Good news, The car suddenly bobs to the surface from an air bubble
inside just as I take that breath.

Bad news-I look around and notice that the car is sinking again
this time even faster.

Bad news- I look around to try to open a door. But the door won't open.

Good news- I hear voices above. Someone saw me go in.

Bad news- The water is rising so fast I am sure they won't get me in time.

Bad news- I bang on the wind shield but it does not break

Good news- Someone from the outside breaks the wind shield and asks
if I can get out.

Bad news- I drag myself out over the cut glass-
blood in the water, gasoline and mud.,

Good news-Outside, there are men with a floating flat board and they float me to the shore.

Bad news-They ask me who is President and what is today's date.
And they are my rescuers, I think, and don't know this stuff?

Good news- The helicopter air-lifts me to the hospital with broken ribs, eye
smashed, blood everywhere.

Good news- I recover and can't get a cigarette and thereafter quit for good
as a way of thanking God that I lived.

Bad news- Broken ribs lead to pleurisy and later pneumonia.

Good news- I recover.

Good news-People at work give me a snorkel for my birthday; lol.

Stay Alive

Listen up, child, theres one thing Ive got to make clear
Yeah, I do
You dont see it coming
Hear it coming
Acting like you know nothing
About that strange rumor going on around here
Take me back to the land of the living
Take me down where the sun do shine
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, ooooh, you better get it now
Chorus:
Stay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, dont let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it dont do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, dont let it take you down for the very last time
You talk about lies and pain
It dont do you no good with your face in the cocaine
Love, hate, watch that mother
Shell bring you down like no other Ive seen
If you know what I mean
Take me back, got to face that demon
Take me down, dont play its fool
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, ooooh, you better get it now
Chorus
No, I aint seen nothin
No, I aint seen nothin
No, I aint seen nothin like you before

Truck

Children all have saviours
Children don't care who saves us
Round the corner, round the bend
Fingernails torn to the end
Bring back, bring back
Bring back, bring back on me
On me
I told them, we scold them
Can't console them always
Toy soldiers falling
Dominoes, but who knows?
Bring back, bring back
Bring back, bring back on me
On me
Yeah and I dream of falling stars
And tokes for all my friends
And I will live forever
Yeah and I dream of all I'm worth
And all along the way
And I will never even
Yeah and I will coast through falling prayers
And all along the way
And I will always listen
Bring back, bring back (I)
Bring back, bring back (Or)
Bring back, bring back (We)
On me....
Bring it back, bring it back on
Bring it back, bring it back on
Bring it back, bring it back on

News From Nowhere

(graham russell)
I never saw it happen
I never saw the flame
I never new how much there was
To lose and gain
But when the sun was taken
You never shone so bright
And from a place wed long forgotten
The blind were given sight
If theres one thing I must do
Its to say I love you to
Its the one thing Im so sure of
(chorus)
If I hold you now from my point of view
Will you show me how to be close to you
If the dawn should break and youre
Far away
Can you ever know what I need to say
I can see how much I was taking it all
For granted
Among the silent victims
Only the wind would moan
And for a time I felt us touch
The great unknown
For that eternal moment
Oh what a price to pay
With nothing left but all we have
We slowly walked away
If theres one thing I must do
Its to say I love you too
Its the one thing Im so sure of
(chorus)
So give life to your dreams
For there lies your survival
And cast your heart beyond those
Faded scenes
And Ill bring you through that storm
Yes Ill bring you back
(chorus)
News from nowhere

Bring Him Back

(pomus / shuman)
Oh, bring him back
If hes too much for you
And you dont know just what to do
Just send him right on back to me
cause Im still the fool I used to be
If its only just for a day
Ill take him back any old kinda way
I aint fooling anymore
Been crying since he walked out the door
Dont know what to do
Dont know where to go
You know I love him so
You know so wont you
(bring him back), mmm
(bring him back)
You know you gotta bring him back
(bring him back), ooh, yeah
(bring him back), mmm
Just bring him back to me
(I want you to bring him back)
(I want you to bring him back)
(I want you to bring him back)
Oh, bring him back to me
My life is full of misery
Let me play with the boy
Let me be his little toy
Oh, bring him back to me
My life is full of misery
You know you gotta bring him back
Ah, ha, youve gotta bring him back
Oh, bring him back to me
Oh, my life is full of misery

Led to over 2,000 passengers being held up

By the justice computer to be banished for life
To the prison satellite penal one...)

Bring It Home To Mama

She knows all about me
She knows all my felonies
She got the moves to-a-make me tremble
Shes got me on my knees
Shes got life-time guarantees
aint got no time for my innuendos
I dont mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump n? grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
She say Im to blame
She say men are all the same
She got the signed, sealed, testimony
She knows a womans place
She knows where to rest her case
She got her mind on alimony
I dont mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump n? grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
Hey, baby, bring it on home to mama
Hey, hay-makin? baby, bring it on home to mama
She wears a heart of gold
Says her needs are many fold
I got no reason or need to doubt it
She knows she leads the dance
She knows how twear those pants
She got the full metal matching outfit
I dont mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump n? grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
I dont mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump n? grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
You can go blind, gimme whats mine
If ywanna keep this love alive, (keep this love alive)
Bring it on home to mama
Dont talk back, just get another kick-back
This aint no jive, (this aint no jive!)
Bring it on home to mama
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it on home, bring it on home to mama
Bring it on home!

Good News

Something to begin with
That's easy said than done
You'll see me rolling home
But I don't understand why
Still there's nothing at all
Time is on my side
But we mustn't let our disappointment show
But I will, and you will go on
All I need is some good news (some good news)
All I need is some good news (just some good news)
To put me on my feet (to put me on my feet)
To put me at my ease (at my ease)
All I need is some good news (all I need is some good news)
All I need is some good news (some good news)
To put me at my ease (to put me at my ease)

Fade To Black

You can break my heart
but it is a heart
only you can fix.

You can cut me with a word
but ironically
only your words can heal.

You can walk away
and you can come back.

I can talk insistently
but you can sooth
my rough talk.

I sometimes curse the thought of you
and you can make that curse turn to honey.

Solving this dilemma though
only I can do that.

Only I can pick up this canvass
look at the scene
and paint you out.

Only I can go to my mental closet
of memories
take out your mental photograph
and make it fade to black.
Only I can do that.

And I will one day;
just not today.

I still want
you back.

I still want
you back.

Not ready
to fade
to black.

The Old Songs

Candles burning
Glasses are chilled and soon
Shell be by
Hope and pray
Shell say that shes willing to give us
Another try
And if all those plans Ive made
Dont melt the ladys heart
Ill put on the old 45s
And maybe the old songs
Will bring back the old times
Maybe the old lines will sound new
Maybe shell lay her head on my shoulder
Maybe old feelings will come through
Maybe well start to cry
And wonder why
We ever walked away
Maybe the old songs
Will bring back the old times
And make her want to stay
Its been too long since ive
Seen her face light up
When I come home
Its been too many
Hours Ive wasted staring
At the phone
Sweet old songs Im counting on you
To bring her back to me
Im tired of listening alone

I Wish I Could Go Back Home

Chorus:
I wish I could go back home
I'm so tired of living all alone
I left to sow my wilder seeds
Now look at all the pain I've grown
I wish I could go back home
It breaks my heart to see her cry
That's how I left her when I said good bye
I never meant to be so cruel
How could I have been such a fool
I got scared when love drew close
Turns out her love is what i'm needing most
Instead I'm back out on my own
Wishing I could go back home
Chorus
She waited as long as she could stand
Finally gave up and found another man
And he's getting love that once was mine
I can't believe I've been so blind
What goes around comes back they say
But I'd trade my future for one yesterday
We had a good thing now it's gone
Lord, I wish I could go back home

We had a good thing now it's gone
Lord, I wish I could go back home

Mine Again

I remember when you used to be mine
Way back when
I was too naive to love you right
But now if I only had the opportunity
I would do anything
Because my heart still believes
[chorus]
Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life
It's irrelevant to dwell on the past
I'm accountable for what went bad
And I mean that
But I keep on praying for another chance
Just to have you back
Cause I've grown
And I know how to be your everything
[chorus]
Maybe you could be mind again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life
No, no it ain't over yet
I just can't accept the possibility
We weren't made for each other's arms
I know you're my destiny
We can't erase what was meant to be
Part of you and part of me
If we try one more time
Maybe somehow we'll survive
Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Boy maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back to...
Life
Maybe you could be mine
