As Long As I Shall Live
As long as I shall live I shall live with other people
And god will be there for me
As long as I shall sleep in a warm bed during the winter
I shall have my dreams
As long as I live I shall have friends
As long as I live I will listen to music because music is healing
And sometimes I feel tha my sould and me can benefit withthe music
As long as I live I shall see some Clear blue sky
As long as I live I shall have friends
As long as I live I will try to end my depression
As long as I live I shall sing the blues
As long as I live I shall have no depression anymore because there will Be people to support me in my daily life
As long as I live I shall be hungry for God's word

Long Live Rock
Down at the astoria the scene was changing,
Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating,
We were the first band to vomit in the bar,
And find the distance to the stage too far,
Meanwhile its getting late at ten oclock,
Rock is dead they say,
Long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night,
Long live rock, come on and join the line,
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
People walk in sideways pretending that theyre leaving,
We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins,
Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in hong kong,
Promoters in the pay box wondering where the bands gone,
Back in the pub the governor stops the clock,
Rock is dead, they say,
Long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night,
Long live rock, come on and join the line,
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
Landslide, rocks are falling,
Falling down round our very heads,
We tried but you were yawning,
Look again, rock is dead, rock is dead, rock is dead.
The place is really jumping to the high-watt amps,
til a 20-inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps,
In the blackout they dance right into the aisle,
And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles,
Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock,
Rock is dead, they say,
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock.
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock,
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night,
Long live rock, come on and join the line,
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.

The Pawi
The Trinidad Piping Guan or Pawi
Is a large turkey-like looking bird
With a long slender neck and long tail feathers
That gives it a majestic appearance when perched
Pawi can be found in the Northern Range
And in remote forested regions
They feed on fruit and seeds
And live with little human interactions
The Pawi is threatened by habitat loss
And continuing illegal hunting by you and me
The responsibility is up to us
Protect the Pawi

0005 The Poetry Reading
You’re two-thirds the way through.
The corners of their mouths are turning down.
Their eyes are filming over.
Their shoulders are stiffening.
They’re in defensive-polite posture.
They feel threatened by poetry.
But isn’t this just what they should be?
Their little worlds, threatened by the greater world out there?
Didn’t you have to go through this yourself?
For their sake, those who follow, wish to follow?
Isn’t this the proof that
Poetry Matters? ..
Sure – on paper – but not, please,
so visibly, and not right now…
the carer in you winces;
the poet, calls the self to duty;
the teacher in you, piercing of eye and human perception,
marks them off, one by one –
the officers of the poetry society,
impassively attentive, have
the easiest job – they don’t have to
like your poems – just approve,
clear up after, lock the hall…
and some look just simply hungry;
traffic bad in getting here
so get home first, then eat;
some find it just too long;
a little poetry goes a long way for them;
some are here because they think
you’ll notice if they aren’t…
some have just combined you
with a shopping trip to town; culture
a kinda penance for the overspend..
yup, time to flip over the pages
to the funnies, and the family ones;
turn up the volume of your voice, speed up a little
as if you too, are glad it’s ending soon;
with a bit of luck, you’ll get them
smiling at each other at each poem’s end, towards the end..
The applause is warm with virtue and relief.
but at least you threatened them a while -
if not with boredom, perhaps with poetry.

Long Live Love
(valerie avon/harold spiro)
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love
All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister anna carrying the banner for the sally annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love
On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the sally annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love

He's a good tough producer, yes. But I don't think that he's unreasonable unless he feels threatened. And when somebody's in your home, I think everybody in the home gets threatened.

One Day (a song)
I never expected to live so long
In those shell-shocked years when lymphoma came
In the proliferate shadow of the nuclear bomb
With wars fanning out like toxic flowers
It was hard to believe and grow up tall
Without a shield or a place to fall.
I never thought I'd live to see
The days of crowds so dense and wild
In processionals of liberty
Nelson Mandela strolling free
Lands governed by people, not big men
Exulting the power of ballot and pen.
I'm still waiting to walk that country of dreams
Where no child stays hungry, no baby weeps
While the waiting is longer than it seems
The poems in my head will send me to sleep
I never thought to live so long
With the taunts and screams assailing us
The acts of violence carrying on
And it threatened the heart, to look around
And see the mass of impunity
But I held my immunity, tight and strong
In the certainty that you would come
And one day listen to my song.

Long live the new flesh!
Where evil dwells
Northport, l.i.
Mutilation murder
Grisly sacrificial slaughter
Knights of the black circle
Stabbed him in the woods
At the sound of crow-call (croak-all)
He said, "i love thee, satan" (satin)
Half burnt body found
Buried in a shallow grave
Stabbed him in the throat
Stab!
Kasso killer... long live the new flesh
Where evil dwells
Northport, long island
Mutilation moider
Grisly sacrificial slaughter
Forsake your homosexuality
Half burnt body found
Kasso killer... long live the new flesh, kasso killer... long live the new flesh
Kasso killer... long live the new flesh, kasso killer... long live the new flesh
Where evil dwells
Northport long island
Half burnt body found
Naked in a leather mask
Mutilation murder
Kasso killer... long live the new flesh, kasso killer... long live the new flesh
Kasso killer... long live the new flesh, kasso killer... long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh... long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh... long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh... long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh... long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh... long live the new flesh

Threatened folks may live the longest: they take numerous precautions.
Help In Long Run
Go slow with head down
Till whistle is not blown
No reaction until result is known
Head high and never claim until you own
Say for example about your life
It is taken on loan and is like knife
Very sharp and may cut both the ways
So take full stock and remain away
Adjust with the wind when it blows
Swim in water when in favor it flows
Glide the path in air and look down
Acquaintance it fast be fully known
Love to live and allow others also to live
Trust the words and try to believe
Be cautious when threatened with deception
Alertness and vigilance right from the inception
All these steps help in long run
Even if some one pulls the gun
He may aim wrongly and fled away
You may remain there and permanently stay

Death Drugs
Long live the legend.
Long live the legend.
Long live the legend.
Itll out live us.
Aw mom, I need some long sleeved shirts.
You got to get me some long sleeved shirts.
Mom mom, I need some long sleeved shirts.
You gotta hide the marks where I stick the works.
The things we were doing got me under the rugs.
Were doin the death drugs.
How come bobby dilan and louie reed
Theyre never seen in short sleeves.
Hey the sixties everybodys going to heaven.
Sixty-nine, sixty-eight, sixty-seven.
The things we were doing got me under the rugs.
We be doing the death drugs.
Long live the legend.
Its not for everyone.
Long live the legend.
Its not for everyone.
Long live the legend.
Its not for everyone.
Long live the legend.
Its not for everyone.
Long live the legend.
Long live the legend.
Long live the legend.

Long As I Live
(rick bowles/will robinson)
The worlds been spinning round since time began
An when it stops, its out of my hands
So I could swear forever for all its worth
Or give you every day I have on earth
Long as I live
Long as I breathe
With every heartbeat
Ill need you near me
I wont leave you behind
til the lord says its time to go with him
Im yours long as I live
No matter if theres mountains you cant move
Or harder times then you thought youd go through
And the weight of your worlds too much to bear
Just remember Ill always be there
Long as I live
Long as I breathe
With every heartbeat
Ill need you near me
I wont leave you behind
til the lord says its time to go with him
Im yours long as I live
The moon and stars arent mine to give
Neither is eternity
But Ill give you a promise tonight
That I can keep
Long as I live
Long as I breathe
With every heartbeat
Ill need you near me
I wont leave you behind
til the lord says its time to go with him
Im yours long as I live
Im yours long as I live

for Cory
i was startled
about your death
i am amazed.
your funeral so grand
the people are in deep mourning
i, too.
in you the presidency
has tripled its value
destiny brought you there
on that chair
God speaks
in yellow colors since then
its voice
is still the voice of the people.
Like Ninoy
forever you shall live
in our hearts.
Long live goodness
Long live dignity
Long live humility
Long live Godliness
In you Cory, we shall ponder
upon the next presidency.

Long Live Rock n Roll
At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way
At the end of today
I could feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
Its the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin in my mind
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n roll
Long live rock and roll
In a different time
When the words didnt rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
It cries for you
Its the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin in my mind
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n roll
Long live rock and roll
If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here
That its perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what theyve found
It cries for you
Its the best that you can do
Like a sound thats everywhere
I can hear it screaming through the air
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n roll
Long live rock and roll

To live long is not a blessing.
The ignorant live long.
Ignorance has no fear
And hence no worry.
The gutless live long.
Grass succumb not
Even to storm.
Do you want
To live long?

Radio
Its 9 oclock shes late for work
She hates her job, her boss is a jerk
Her boyfriend never lets her play
She thinks shes wasting life away
At 5 oclock she gets in her car
Shes driving fast but never goes far
Parked on the freeway, slips in a rage
Time to ride the airwaves
Long live my radio it never lets me down,
Long live my radio give me sound!
Nothin to do nothin to say
Just try to find another way
To a different world some other plane
Where I can be myself without going insane
This little place that we call life
Its more to it than just pain and strife
Gotta find that somewhere in your brain
Gotta ride the airwaves
Long live my radio it never lets me down,
Long live my radio give me sound!
Long live my radio please make it alright
Long live my radio tonight
And when the statics screamin louder than your life
Just try to ride the waves in the air tonight
I make a dedication and try to get it right
So you can hear it on the airwaves...airwaves!
Long live my radio it never lets me down
Long live my radio tonight..tonight!
Long live my radio it never lets me down
Long live my radio give me sound!
Long live my radio make it alright
Long live my radio tonight!
Tonight!
Long live my radio tonight!

How Long
2+2,
Me and you,
Strollin' down the avenue,
I never knew that this was meant to be.....
And all those times we looked into each other's eyes,
I did it again, I did it again, I did it for you!
Holding on,
To a song,
I guess it's time we passed it on.....
Because one of us keeps changing everyday...
And all those times we told each other little lies....
I did it again, i did it again, I did it for you!
How long before we learn to live and fly away?
How long before we learn to live another day?
Woah-oah....
And all those times we broke our hearts despite ourselves......
I did it again, I did it again, I did it for you!
How long before we learn to live and fly away?
How long before we learn to live another day?
Woah-oah......
