I feel great. I had a triple bypass in 1976 and a quadruple bypass in 1984.

Please Bypass This Heart
Please bypass this heart
By: jimmy buffett, will jennings, michael utley
1985
Close your eyes and click your heels, think of skating rinks and
Spinning wheels. of those who will and those who wont, some
Hearts break while others dont.
Every day I read about these operations
That make a heart thats weak so strong again
I relate it to my own situation
And now I know just what to say to you
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart
In simpler times I didnt need a lotta healin
My heart was young and strong and worked just fine
But now youve shown me theres a hurtin side of feelin
Theres just one cure and heres what you must do
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart
-- spoken:
Skaters reverse
Couples only
All skate, all skate
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart

The cardiologist-surgeon
Operates on a poem
with a heart disease
a Bypass
Quadruple in fact
Since then heartless poem is born and
Becomes a trend
metaphor-less
dead poem
hardly beating.

Even when you write it, someone's got to play it. So if you can play it and bypass all the rest of the things, you're still doing as great as someone that has spent forty years trying to find out how to do that. I'm really pro-human beings, pro-expression of everything.

Bypass monks with a big stride; have nothing to do with priests, except at Mass.
If you run too fast you bypass a safe place you would have hidden yourself.
What's different here is that we have now technologies that allow these life science companies to bypass classical breeding. That's what makes it both powerful and exciting.

Surgery
Surgery
I sat on the bed in the hospital bed, dressed in a new pajama-
shiny and with dragons on-my wife had bought just for this
hospitalization, reading a newspaper, the surgeon came in,
said halloo told me his team was the best, reassuring smile
told me not to worry. A girl, in blue came, served me soup
and there was a sign on my bed that the patient should have
no breakfast. Triple bypass I struggled to think of something
grim like the hereafter and god, but was more alarmed about
this stupid war in Iraq. At dawn they gave me a pill, I read
a poem I had written about Marilyn Monroe which I liked;
then of for hours I was suspended in dreamless nothingness.
When I awoke I had lost the last trace of any religious beliefs.

1984
Someday they wont let you, now you must agree
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isnt free
Youve read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on tv
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Theyll split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that youre eighty, but brother, you wont care
Youll be shooting up on anything, tomorrows never there
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore)
(mor-or-or-or-ore)
Im looking for a vehicle, Im looking for a ride
Im looking for a party, Im looking for a side
Im looking for the treason that I knew in 65
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore)

Do Something
he has never seen
yet it can't be prevented
sounds all bypass her
doesn't know what that is
if there is any justice
in the world
it would not be like this
you would love them
coz to lose them
and for them to lose
there is not much justice
in the world
do something......
please......
Cinema
a face hangs at a parted curtain
across a landing
rain drips from the knife-slits of red lips
he smears the pock-marked door
with the juice of bitter fruit
in the street outside
would any of it seep sliverlike
even if somehow
it could bypass the tumblers in the lock
from his mouth a cry
and how ankle-deep
it ranalong
the gutters of his grief

Oddities
We know simply
by the grace of God
humanity continues
with most of us odd.
The humor of God
amuses me so
as I watch the oddities
come and go.
Each one is so different
and yet the same.
And what is the reason
is God to blame?
He gave us the mold
which none of us fit.
We try to fit into it
bit by bit.
It's a task so humorous.
It's beyond belief.
For our short trip through life
is much too brief.
We try to conform
but most of us fail.
And the insignificant differences
really just pale.
We've a life to live
and so much to give
that the oddities we've developed
we must forgive.
God's humor is ours.
It's part of his plan
to bypass the oddities
and do what we can
to laugh.

1984/do Do
Someday they wont let you, now you must agree
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isnt free
Youve read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on tv
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Theyll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that youre eighty, but lover you wont care
Youll be shooting up this huge world, like tomorrows wasnt there
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
(come see, come see, remember me? )
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess weve grown
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)
Now we can talk in confidence
Did you guess that weve been done wrong
Lies jumped the queue to be first in line
Such a shameless design
He thinks hes well screened from the man at the top
Its a shame that his children disagree
They cooly decide to sell him down the line
Daddys brainwashing time
Hes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
Hes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
She doesnt recall her blessed childhood out of yore
When a unit was a figure not a she
When lovers chose each other seems the perks are due
Another memo to screw
Shes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
Shes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
Can you wipe your nose my child without them slotting in your file a photograph
Will you sleep in fear tonight wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jim
Come to, turn you in
But the do do, no no, didnt hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didnt hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didnt hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didnt hear from me
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled

Comparing Notes and Sharing Agonies
Not into the emotionally needy types.
You know...
The kind that want others to understand,
Where they are coming from.
And not listen at all to recommendations.
But would call to shower their emotions...
Without hesitation!
Luckily I was able to pull myself out of quicksand,
While those folks stood around...
Comparing notes and sharing agonies!
Self preservation I had to grasp early.
And this was done,
When I was extremely young!
If I had not...
I would have long been forgotten.
But those into gossip and good meals,
Would 'still' be in discussion years later...
About the food served at my repast.
Those are the folks,
I have learned to bypass!
Very early when I knew,
I had to pass my own tasks!

It's just a song
It's just a song
I can do it right
Make it sing like heaven
Hidden all about
Absolutely useless
For a twisted mind
Just a hollow sound
Or a bypass field
That remained unploughed
It's just a song
Let me take a tune
Simple hands playing
A very simple mind
So don't be afraid
Next time it comes to you
Just a song that's made
For a day to pull through
It's just a song
I can do it right
Make it sing like heaven
Hidden all about
