Something Fine
The papers lie there helplessly
In a pile outside the door
Ive tried and tried, but I just cant remember what theyre for
The world outside is tugging like a beggar at my sleeve
Oh, thats much too old a story to believe
And you know that its taken its share of me
Even though you take such good care of me
Now you say morocco and that makes me smile
I havent seen morocco in a long, long while
The dreams are rolling down across the places in my mind
And Ive just had a taste of something fine
The future hides and the past just slides
England lies between
Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean
Californias shaking like an angry child will
Who has asked for love and is unanswered still
And you know that Im looking back carefully
ôcause I know that theres still something there for me
But you said morocco and you made me smile
And it hasnt been that easy for a long, long while
And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine
Giving me a taste of something fine
Something fine
Now if you see morocco I know youll go in style
I may not see morocco for a little while
But while youre there I was hoping you might keep it in your mind
To save me just a taste of something fine

Something Fine
Writers: jackson browne
The papers lie there hopelessly
In a pile outside the door
I tried and tried, but I just cant remember
What theyre for
The world outside is tugging
Like a beggar at my sleeve
Ah, thats much too old a story to believe
And you know, that its taken its share of me
Even though you take such good care of me
Now you say morocco, and that makes me smile
I havent seen morocco for a long, long while
The dreams are rolling down
Across the places in my mind
And I just had a taste of something fine
The future hides and the past just slides
England lies between
Floating in a silver mist, so cold and so clean
Californias shading like some angry child will
Who has asked for love and isnt answered still
And you know that Im looking back carefully
cause I know that theres still something there for me
But you said morocco and it made me smile
And it hasnt been that easy for a long, long while
Looking back into your eyes
Oh, I saw them really shine
And giving me a taste of something fine
Something fine
Now if you see morocco, oh I know youll go in style
I may not see morocco for a little while
But while youre there I was hoping you
Might keep it in your mind
To save me a taste of something fine

We are very anxious to bring the Jews of Morocco over and we are doing all we can to achieve this. But we cannot count on the Jews of Morocco alone to build the country, because they have not been educated for this.

Tonight Will Be Fine
Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
We swore to each other then that our love would surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
Now I am too thin and your love is too vast.
But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.
I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
Theres only one bed and theres only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.
But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.
Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me,
Shes the soft naked lady love meant her to be
And shes moving her body so brave and so free.
If Ive got to remember thats a fine memory.
And I know from her eyes
And I know from her smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.

Beans Taste Fine
Now a friend of mine, way back in Chicago
You know, he finally made his pile.
Well he got himself a mansion on Butler and Sheff
An' he was livin' in the latest style;
But I run into him, he was eatin' in a greasy spoon
While parkled in front was his big limousine.
I said, 'Buddy, you've got so much money
How come youre in here, eatin' beans?'
An' he said
'After you've been havin' steak for a long time,
Beans, beans taste fine.
An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and brandy
You gonna settle for wine.'
He said 'The world is funny, and people are strange,
And man is a creature of constant change, and
After you've been havin' steak for a long time
Beans, beans taste fine.'
Now, you know I ran into another friend of mine
In a rowdy old Clark Street Bar.
I said, 'Friend, is it true what I heard about you?
I heard you married a beautiful 18-year-old shapely movie star,
Yet here you sit, tryin' to make out with some barfly
Who's too old and ugly to be true.'
He said, 'Shelley, you're still a very young man
So sit down. I'll explain it all to you.
He said
'After you've been havin' steak for a long time
Beans, beans taste fine.
An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and Chivas Regal
You gonna settle for Thunderbird wine.'
He said 'The world is funny, and people are strange,
And man is a creature of constant change, and
After you've been havin' steak for a long time
Beans, beans taste fine.'

Very Fine Love
(bob dipiero / jim photoglo)
I never knew how good love could be
All Id ever known was make believe
So many times Ive played the fool
Baby, til I met you
Now everything has fallen in place
You can tell by the smile on my face
For every lonely tear that Ive cried
Im that much satisfied
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
You know it when you find one
Shining like a diamond
Its so fine, fine, very fine love
How did I ever live without your love?
Its the only thing Im certain of
No matter what Im going through
I know I can count on you
You are more precious to me every day
Life is better now in every way
You dont have to lay the world at my feet
You have made my world complete
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love, oh, oh
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
You know it when you find one
Shining like a diamond
Its so fine, so fine, very fine love
Ive got no apprehensions
Youve got the best intentions
Weve got a, weve got a, weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
A very fine
A very fine love
Very fine love, ah, ha, ooh, hoo
So fine, hey, so fine
So good, so good love

Your Eyes
(written by natalie cole)
Do you realize that I could see the windows of the world through your eyes?
Pretty eyes
(da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
(your eyes)
Your eyes that (da, da, da, da, da, da)
Mesmorize and hypnotize
(la, la, da, la, da, da, da)
(your eyes)
(da, da, da, da)
They can tell no lies
Hm, little adelines, (da, da, da, da, da, da)
Youre so fine
(your eyes)
(da, da, da, da, la, la)
Even your wrinkles shine
(even your wrinkles shine)
Pretty, pretty eyes. uh
(your eyes)
(da, da, da, da, da, da)
Pretty, pretty eyes, uh
Da, da
Your so fine; I just hope theres time
cause your eyes are so kind
I feel like theyre a friend of mine
Although theres pain behind
And its so far away
But they just seem to say
Its okay, cause the rain must fall every now and then
But oh, ho, ho
Everythings gonna be alright again
(there goes that smile again)
There goes that smile again
The one that shines through Ill defend
Never have I seen eyes like yours
That smile much better than any I know
(even your wrinkles shine)
Even your wrinkles shine
(your eyes that smile are fine)
Wont you stay awhile
Wont you look through me
So I can be what you see
Youre so fine
(your eyes)
(la, da, da, da, da, da...)
Your eyes are so kind
(la, da, da)
(your eyes)
I never would have known
It never would have shown
That you were blind

I Write Because....
I write because i am glad in my life,
I write because i am very glad in my heart,
I write because i am fine with my mind,
I write because i want you to learn from me as well;
But 2010 was the hottest year in Morocco! !
And the mountain of storm came and exposed my nakedness,
For many want to know my identity!
But keep watch over the doors of my lips for the answer.

As Long As You Smile
I would dig my own grave,
And lay to rest alive,
As long as you smile,
Taking a long thin blade,
Stabbing it through my chest,
As long as you smile,
Shedding out tears,
Like the clouds pour rain,
As long as you smile,
Because as long as you smile,
The sun will shine,
As long as you smile,
The stars will light up the night,
And as long as you smile,
I will be here,
But when that apocalyptic day comes,
And your smile fades away,
There will be nothing left for me,
As your smile means the world to me,
So smile,
If not for you,
For me
As long as you smile,
I will smile,
And join you,
In a place where there is only you and I,
Together like spring and flowers,
Never without one another,
Alone in the light rain showers,
We shall stand,
And if we are ever torn apart,
Searching for each other,
Till found,
Reunited,
So smile,
Just smile,
And as long as you smile,
All will be fine

Oooooooooh. ooooooooooooh. oooooooooooh. oooooooooooh.
Oooooooooh. ooooooooooooh. oooooooooooh. oooooooooooh.
Oooooooooh. ooooooooooooh. oooooooooooh. oooooooooooh.
We came out before.
Now were back again.
Singin the kinda girls we like
Now is this the end
Were about to blast off
So hold on real tight.
While michael tells you
The kinda girl he likes.
Hey, I like a girl who likes to tease
Not the kinda girl whos always there to please
The kinda girl who makes up her mind
When she ...(I never knew this part)...her given time.
The kinda girl whom you always think about.
Thats the kinda girl whom you cant be without.
Im michael b. thats the girl for me.
Shes the only girl I could never leave.
Youve heard one description
Now listen to this.
Because this one for sure
You cant afford to miss.
So turn up the volume
And open your ears.
Because this next description
Is for you my dear.
Well, my friends call me flash b (is that right)
And heres the kinda girl thats just for me.
I like a girl that is right on time.
Shes also sweet and shes oh so fine.
I like a nice young lady with beautiful hair
So if you want to be with bob you gotta care
She give me her love.
She give me her time.
This kinda girl is mine all mine.
Youve heard two descriptions
Now here comes the third.
And its flyer (is that a word? from the word: fly :-) havent heard that one in a long time) than anything
That youve ever heard.
We love all you girls without any doubt.
And as long as you know this,
Yyou wont feel left out.
I like a nice young lady with class and style
And when Im with her she makes it worth my while.
You know that...(what? )..has to be
Just the right girl for ricky.
I like a nice young lady who likes to have fun
So if you fit this description
I said, hey girl, dont hesitate.
If you want me, Ill be your playmate.
Im ronnie d and Id love to meet.
A girl that would knock me off my feet.
A girl thats fine and divine.
A girl that wants to be all mine.
A girl that can grant my every wish
Is the girl I want to love and cherish.
I promise you that if you are true.
Tell me girl if it could be you.
Youve heard the last.
Were running out of time.
But wait just a minute theres one last line.
Now listen to this
And keep that in mind.
And were sure that this next rap
Will blow your mind.
Yes, I like a girl that will stay with me.
A girl thats a pretty sight to see.
A girl with style and much finesse.
A girl thats smart and wants the best.
I like a girl with a pretty smile.
A girl that stands out in a pile.
But most of all on top of all above.
Ralph needs a girl that he can love.
We came out before.
Now were back again.
Singin the kinda girls we like
Now is this the end
Now Im sure youll agree
Our deep words are divine.
But if you fit the description ,
Youll do just fine fine fine fine fine fine

Groundhogs Day
When I woke up this mornin I felt a pang.
I was hungerin for some apple pie.
Stumble in the bathroom, hung my hog a little bit.
Washed the sleep out of my eye.
Oh yeah, its gonna be a fine day.
Scratched myself a bit.
Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex.
Closest thing I could find to apple pie.
Lingerin taste of toothpaste
Made the milk go down a bit funny.
But you know, them chex they do satisfy.
Oh yeah, thisll be a fine day.
So, after my mornin rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean.
Had my mind set to hit them streets.
Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out.
Had my black stomp-boots on my feet.
Its my day.
Since I was in kneepants my pop had tried to make me realize. if i
Set my mind down to it I could be a big man in the public eye. so
With my big blue collar on, I set out to find the easy way. what an
Ice cold bath it was when I found you had to pay to play. to taste
The taste its a tease that never would subside. the taste is strong
But soured by my learned eyes. well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood,
Hed get down on his knees to pray. this little snappy boy might see
The light this ground hogs day.

Wine can only be drunk once
Fine wine, unlike fine poetry.
Must be given time to mature,
selected for its quality.
You must be absolutely sure.
To store it very carefully
undisturbed perhaps for years.
I much prefer fine poetry
which rings like music in my ears.
Dependent on your taste of course.
My ears drink in well spoken verse.
My taste in wine is rather coarse
but it is easy on my purse.
I read fine poetry for free
from books stored in my library.

Pearls Girl
Rioja. rioja. reverend al green.
Deep blue morocco. the water on stone.
The water on concrete. the water on sand.
The water on fire. smoke.
The wind. the salt. the bride boat coming.
Dave in the water. old man.
Einstein on top of his house. white deep blue
Andalusia red yellow red yellow black car.
Red light. far. black place. walls. blue chair.
Morocco. hamburg. paris.
The pieces of the puzzle are waiting.
The water of the dark boats gliding.
The bride boats gone out to sea and
Dave is floating. dave is floating.
And old man einstein crazy in his attic.
Crazy.
White room. sun room. shadow room.
Night transmitting cars across the room.
These things sent to dance across the room.
Eye watching from your bed. returning to you.

One Fine Day
One fine day
Youll look at me
And you will know our love was
Meant to be
One fine day
Youre gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for
Will open wide
And youll be proud to have me
Right by your side
One fine day
Youre gonna want me for your girl
One fine day...

Ill Be Fine
Day and night I wonder how youre feeling
I wonder if youll ever change your mind
I dont know just what it is youre dealing
But I know youve got me in a bind
Day and night I wonder how you do it
Put me in this awful state of mind
How on earth can you be so unfeeling
How on earth can you be so unkind
Well Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
You never want to sit and talk it over
You always want to run right out the door
Come and sit right down here on the sofa
Tell me baby right now whats the score
Dont you tell me there aint nothing doing
There aint nothing else thats true to say
I just wanna hear my baby cooing
I dont wanna hear our love is dead
I will be fine with you if you be good to me
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
If youll be good to me, Ill be fine with you
If youll be good to me then we just cant lose
If youll be good to me, Ill be happy for all of my days
Day and night I wonder how youre feeling
I wonder if youll ever change your mind
I dont know just what it is youre dealing
But I know youve got me in a bind
Day and night I wonder how you do it
Put me in this awful state of mind
How on earth can you be so unfeeling
How on earth can you be so unkind
Well Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning

Under Construction
His accent serenades me
And presses at the door
Broken promise to be
Around for my mind war
And my accomplishments interrogating me
Todays become tomorrow
Before I wanted it to be
And desperate discussions
The start of the destruction
Our sign, in my mind
Ill be fine
Ill be fine
cause Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
I always had to try harder
I never really could keep up
Sitting in the corner
With my illness and bad luck
But in this humble place Im feeling like red wine
And I hope to get better
With some time
Ill be fine
With some time
Ill be fine
cause Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
Confection
Modification
Motivation
Of construction
And the rituals that soothe
And disgust me will be gone
With some time
Ill be fine
With some time
Ill be fine
Ill be fine
Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
Under construction
Construction
Feel better with some construction
