Flesh & Bone
By: jimmy buffett
If men came from venus
And women came from mars
Then Id be lunching with my boyfriends
While you girls talked about cigars
But thats not how it happened
Evolution took a different turn
We may be creatures with some unique features
But weve still got a lot to learn
We made it nearly 20 centuries
But your monkeys with ph.d.s
Spun a web of communications
But its all still a tangle to me
I cant tell the spiders
From the dangling flies and moths
I feel like like some outsider
Who seems to have his wires all crossed
I cant fax you my love
I cant email my heart
I cant see your face in cyberspace
I dont know where to start
Im light years behind
From the age they call stone
Im a carbon based caveman
Honey just flesh and bone
I aint no clone
Im just flesh and bone
Trying to connect with you
I aint no clone
Im just flesh and bone
Trying to get my message through
Now we live in this age of computers
They run everything in the world
And Im a little behind on this technical climb
And you are an internet girl
Ive got words but no processor
Ive got feelings but I dont know dos
So I just have to go back to basics
To try to get my point across
Desperate for a glimpse of the future
We use crystals and cards and dice
And that y2k is coming our way
Theyre talking about some worldly strife
Its time to think of simpler options
Its time to formulate a big plan b
So if your hard drive does crash
Ive got some kruggerands stashed
Come on and sail away with me
I cant fax you my love
I cant email my heart
I cant see your face in cyberspace
I dont know where to start
Im light years behind
From the age they call stone
Im a carbon based caveman
Honey just flesh and bone
I aint no clone
Im just flesh and bone
Trying to connect with you
I aint no clone
Im just flesh and bone
Lets run away to timbuktu
(spoken) oh yeah baby come on run away
Dont worry I dont byte
I might nip a little bit
Here let me get that

Flesh And Bone
If men came from Venus
And women came from Mars,
Then I'd be lunching with my boyfriends
While you girls talked about cigars.
But that's not how it happened;
Evolution took a different turn.
We may be creatures with some unique features
But we've still got a lot to learn.
We've made it nearly twenty centuries
A bunch of monkeys with PhD's.
Spun a web of communications
But it's all still a tangle to me.
I can't tell the spiders
From the dangling flies and moths.
I fell like some outsider,
Who seems to have his wires all crossed.
[Chorus:]
I can't fax you my love.
I can't e-mail you my heart.
I can't see your face in cyberspace,
I don't know where to start.
I'm light years behind from the age the call stone.
I'm a carbon based caveman honey, just flesh and bone.
I ain't no clone, I'm just flesh and bone
Trying to connect with you.
I ain't no clone, I'm just flesh and bone
Tryin' to get the message through.
Now we live in the age computers.
They run everything in the world.
And I'm a little behind on this technical climb
And your are an Internet girl.
I've got words but no processor.
I've got feelings but I don't know DOS.
So I just have to go back to basics
And try to get my point across.
Desperate for a glimpse of the future.,
We use crystals and cards and dice.
And that Y2K is coming our way.
They're talkin' 'bout some worldly strife.
It's time to think of simpler options.
It's time to formulate a big plan B,
So if your hard drive does crash,
I got some Krugerands stashed.
Come on and sail away with me.

To Avoid Rejection
take a part of your
pelvic bone
close your eyes
let someone take
the flesh
and bone to bone
of your own bone
let it grow
smoothly
to get rid of the pain
and start anew
bone to bone
of my contention
following yours
nothing
opposing
blood following
the flow

High noon
Oh Id sell my soul for water
Nine years worth
Of breakin my back
Theres no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides
Why hes lighter than air
Oh I see his face
Where is your star
Is it far, is it far, is it far
When do we leave
I believe, yes, I believe
* in the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
Dont know why
Now where do we go
Hot wind moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins while we put his wing together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face
Where is your star
It is far, is it far, is it far
When do we leave, yeah
I believe, I believe
*
All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still
Then theres blood on the sand
Oh I see his face
Where was your star
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave
We believe, we believe, we believe
In the heat and rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why, it dont rain
With all our chains,
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now look, look, look, look
Look at this tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And Im coming home
Coming home, Im coming home
Time is standing still
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
Im going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
Im going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh
Take me back, take me back
Back to my home, oh, oh...

Blood From A Clone
They say they like it, now, but in the market it
May not go well as its too laid back.
You need some oomph-papa, nothing like
Frank zappa
And not new wave they dont play that crap
Tyr beating your head on a brick wall
Hard like a stone
Dont have time for the music
They want the blood from a clone
I hear a clock ticking
I feel the nitpicking
I almost quit kicking at the wall
There seems a confusion, under the illusion
That they know just what will suit you all
Beating my head on a brick wall
Hard like a stone
Aint got time for the music
They want the blood from a clone
There is no sense to it
Pure pounds and pence to it
Theyre so intense too makes me amazed
Dont want no music but, theyre making you
Sick with
Some awful noises that may get played
By beating their heads on a brick wall
Hard like a stone
Aint no messing round with music
Give them the blood from a clone
Where will it all lead us
I thought we had freed us
From the mundane seems Im wrong again
Could be they lack roots, theyre still wearing
Jack boots theyre
Marching somewhere in the pouring rain
Beating my head on a brick wall
Hard like a stone
Dont have time for the music
They want the blood from a clone

Its Gone
I dont know how it happened but it did
I dont know why its over but it is
I dont know where it comes from when its on
I dont know where it goes to but its gone.
You used to brush my mind with tender thoughts
We could say it all and never talk
But lately our loves only flesh and bone
I dont know where it went to but its gone
Chorus
We used to light the darkness up,
Make love without a touch
Be ourselves and never be alone,
Somethin lived between us then
I always thought would never end
But like the wind I guess it just moved on
I dont know where it went to
But its gone.
I dont understand it but I know
The blush of love once bright no longer glows
And I cant put it back by hangin on
I dont know where it went to but its gone.
Chorus
I dont know where it went to but its gone.

I Think Im A Clone Now
Isnt it strange
Feels like Im lookin in the mirror
What would people say
If only they knew that I was
Part of some geneticists plan (plan-plan-plan)
Born to be a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
There in a petri dish late one night
They took a donors body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say
I think Im a clone now
Theres always two of me just a-hangin around
I think Im a clone now
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
Look at the way
We go out walking close together
I guess you could say
Im really beside myself
I still remember how it began (gan-gan-gan)
They produced a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
Born in a science lab late one night
Without a mother or a father, just a test tube and a womb with a view
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
Theres always two of me just a-hangin around
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
And I can stay at home while Im out of town
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
cause every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
Signing autographs for my fans
Come and meet the carbon copy man
Livin in stereo, its all right
Well I can be my own best friend and I can send myself for pizza so I say
I think Im a clone now
Another one of mes always hangin around
I think Im a clone now
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
Ive been on oprah winfrey - Im world renowned
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
And every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
Thats my genetic twin always hangin around
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)

The Bone Of The House
in the house
he is a bone,
not a flesh on
the side
dogs outside are
waiting
he is not the
kind of bone
that any dog
wants,
the useless bone
in the kitchen
mere shadow of
the soup-stock
left-over of the flesh
inside the garbage can.

One Good Man
Honey, I love to go to parties
And I like to have a good time,
But if it gets too pale after a while
Honey and I start looking to find
One good man.
Hmm, dont you know Ive been searching,
Oh yes I have!
One good man,
Oh aint much, honey aint much,
Its only everything, whoa.
An I dont want much outa life,
I never wanted a mansion in the south.
I just-a want to find someone sincere
Whod treat me like he talks,
One good man.
Oh honey dont you know that Ive been looking.
Oh, one good man
Aint much, honey it aint much,
Oh, its only everything.
All right.
Some girls they want to collect their men,
They wear em like notches on a gun.
Oh honey, but I know better than that,
I know that a woman only needs one.
One good man, oh,
Oh baby dont you know Ive been looking, hmm.
One good man,
It aint much, no, no honey it aint much,
Oh, its only every little thing,
Just-a everything, everything
Ah yeah.

Ringfinger
Well youve got me working so heard lately.
Working my hands until they bleed.
If I was twice the man I could be.
Id still be half of what you need
Still you lead me and I follow
Anything you ask you know Ill do.
But this one act of consecration is what I ask of you
Ringfinger.
Promise carved in stone.
Deeper than the sea.
Ringfinger.
Sever flesh and bone
And offer it to me.
You just left me nailed here.
Hanging like jesus on the cross.
Ill be dying for your sins.
And aiding to the cause.
Ringfinger.
Promise carved in stone.
Deeper than the sea.
Ringfinger.
Sever flesh and bone
And offer it to me.
Wrap my eyes in bandages.
Confessions I see through.
I get everything I want.
When I get part of you.
Ringfinger.
Promise carved in stone.
Deeper than the sea.
Ringfinger.
Sever flesh and bone
And offer it to me.
Ringfinger.
Promise carved in stone.
Deeper than the sea.
Ringfinger.
Devils flesh and bone
Do something for me.

Blood From A Stone
Well Ive been walkin
Down a one way dirty street
Tryin to find the answers
And Ive been hopin
For a chance to meet
The rat that spread the cancer
And the lies theyve been spinnin
And the smiles theyve been grinnin
There sure has been some sinnin
But nobodys winnin
When the walls start to crumblin
You feel like youre stumblin
And nobody wants you when youre down
They took the boy from the city
But they cant take the city from the
Boys lookin pretty
Now hes lookin like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you cant get
You cant get blood from a stone
You cant get blood from a stone
Well Im a rollin
But my trains gone off the tracks
And my wheels are spinnin
And Im a walkin
Down a one way dirty street
But my hearts not sinkin
From the love theyve been buyin
And the blues theyve been cryin
Now the time keeps a flyin
But nobodys tryin
Cause the love of the money
Didnt turn out so sunny
When the wells dry
No one comes around
They took the boy from the city
But they cant take the city from the
Boys lookin pretty
Now hes lookin like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you cant get
You cant get blood from a stone
You can try
But I still got the fight in my eyes
Suck it dry
Cause Ive had about enough of your lies
They took the boy from the city
But they cant take the city from the
Boys lookin pretty
Now hes lookin like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you cant get blood from a stone
They took the boy from the city
But they cant take the city from the
Boys lookin pretty
Now hes lookin like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you cant get
You cant get blood from a stone, no
You cant get blood from a stone
You cant get blood from a stone
You cant get blood from a stone
You cant get blood from a stone
You cant get blood from a stone

To Love Somebody
(barry and robin gibb)
With booker t. & the mgs (1975)
Theres a light,
A certain kind a light
That never shone on me.
I want my life to be, to live with you.
To live with you.
And theres a way, evrybody says,
To do each and evry little thing.
But what does it mean
If I aint got you, if aint got you?
cause you dont know what its like
You dont know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you.
If I pray
I see your face again;
But I know not where to find
You aint got to be so blind
Im blind, so very very blind
Im a man,
Cant you see what I am?
I move heaven and earth for you
But what does this man do
If he aint got you, if he aint got you?
cause you dont know what its like, baby,
You dont know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you
cause you dont know what its like, baby,
You dont know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you, ha
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Oh baby
You dont know what its like
You never never know what its like
To love somebody,
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you
Yeah
You never, never know what its like,
Honey
Ooh baby
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya
God almighty, I love ya

Dont Call It Love
Nobody believes that I really care for you
They dont think my heart is true
I dont think you agree
You know Im a lifetime gaurantee
So if they ask you what you mean to me
Dont call it love
Heavens above
We got a better thing, baby
Dont call it love
cause that aint enough
Just tell em youre my everything
Go on and tell em baby
Nobody believes we got somethin they aint got
Theyve never seen a fire this hot
They never got that far
Were burning as bright as any star
So if they ask you what your feelings are
Dont call it love
Heavens above
Weve got a better thing, baby
Dont call it love
cause that aint enough
Just tell em youre my everything
Go ahead and tell em baby
Feels so good, holding tight
Loving you through the night
Oh and they can call it what they like
But they aint got it right
No, no, no
Dont call it love
Heavens above
Weve got a better thing, baby
Dont call it love
cause that aint enough
Just tell them youre my everything
Oooo...
Dont call it love
Heavens above
We got a better thing, baby
Dont call it love
cause that aint enough
Just tell em youre my everything

Oh, oh, oh
Dont call it love

Dont call it love

Outside
I think Im done with the sofa
I think Im done with the hall
I think Im done with the kitchen table, baby
Lets go outside (lets go outside)
In the sunshine
I know you want to, but you cant say yes
Lets go outside
In the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best
So my angel she says, dont you worry
bout the things theyre saying, yeah
Got no friends in high places
And the game that you gave away
Wasnt worth playing
Lets go outside
In the sunshine
I know you want to, but you cant say yes
Lets go outside
In the meantime
Take me to the places that I love best
And yes Ive been bad
Doctor wont you do with me what you can
You see I think about it all the time
Twenty four seven
You say you want it, you got it
I never really said it before
There s nothing here but flesh and bone
Theres nothing more nothing more
Theres nothing more
Back to nature, just human nature
Getting on back to
I think I m done with the sofa
I think I m done with the hall
I think Im done with the kitchen table, baby
Lets go outside
In the sunshine
I know you want to, but you cant say yes
Lets go outside
In the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best
And yes Ive been bad
Doctor wont you do with me what you can
You see I think about it all the time
Id service the community
(but I already have you see!)
I never really said it before
Theres nothing here but flesh and bone
Theres nothing more, nothing more
Theres nothing more
Lets go outside
Dancing on the d-train baby
When the moon is high
And the grass is jumpin
Come on, just keep on funkin
Keep on funkin, just keep on funkin

Be there an introspection
Parents type I:
You feed the dog;
It guards the yard.
You pay the maid;
She is your aid.
Bone and flesh,
Parents gave you.
Without their nod
You flee with a lad.
You are ungrateful;
Parents are indignant.
Parents type II:
Plants give flowers
For bees to hover.
Moon sends light
For lovers to delight.
Cow yields calf.
Calf selects the bull.
Your bone and flesh-
Out of parents’ blush.
Give bone and flesh,
With one you wish.
Your joy parents cherish.
They have no remorse.
Which parents are you-
The one demanding a return
Or the one retaining the love?

Janie, Dont Take Your Love To Town
J. bon jovi
Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be
In some technicolor dream
But the airs too thick for one of us to breathe
Im not fool enough to think
You couldnt live life without me
I didnt come this far to throw the towel in
I didnt fight this hard to walk away
If I aint smart enough to say Im sorry
Its just because the words got in the way
I remember how it used to be
I was you and you were me
We were more than just the same
Now these shoes dont fit, my skins too tight
When you want a kiss, I take a bite
Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drak enough to drown
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health
Look, we both know how much Ive let you down
Janie dont you take your love to town
Janie dont you take your love to town
Janie dont you take your love to town
If Ive got to beg, Ill beg, just dont walk away
Janie dont you take your love to town
You deserve a shooter, a saint
Someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul throught flesh and bone
My lifes a treasure, full of sunny weather
But its left me feeling cold
Now all you want to do is take me home
I hated you, the night you said you loved me
I hated you, cause I couldnt love myself
Im begging you now, baby please just hold me
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground
Janie dont you take your love to town
Janie dont you take your love to town
If Ive got to beg, Ill beg, just dont walk away
Janie dont you take your love to town
Sitting here while youre fast asleep
In the bathroom by the sink
Trying to write the right words down
I turn out the lights, close my eyes
There aint no prayers or kiss goodnight
What Ill forget to say tomorrow, Ill say now
Janie dont you take your love to town
Janie dont you take your love to town
Janie dont you take your love to town
If Ive got to beg, Ill beg, just dont walk away
Janie dont you take your love to town

Dont Bring Me Down
Well I dont drive a fast car
You know it just aint my style
And I dont give a damn about that
You know it aint worth my while
And Ive been known to run around
Burned some bridges in my time
You know those girls tried to tie me down
But my heart is still all mine
Well elvis had his blue suede shoes and samson had his hair
You know I got my music baby
And my dreams will take me there
You know I dont smoke cigarettes I dont see the point
And if youre gonna put smoke in your lungs
Might as well smoke a joint
Well I dont mind if you hang around
Just dont start talking that love talk baby
Dont bring me down
Well dont call me a scoundrel
Baby dont call me a thief
Dont look down your nose at me
I dont need all your grief
Join me and the jesters, singing for today
Live life at its fullest
Before it slips away
Well I dont mind if you hang around
Just dont start talking that love talk baby
Dont bring me down
Why you want to shoot me down
Im just trying to be your friend now baby
But you lock the door, hide the key, hide under the bed
Youre gonna hide from me
Come on baby, let me in ...
