Rumor Has It
(bruce burch/vern dant/larry shell)
I overheard a conservation your name was mentioned in
But they didnt talk about us, only her again
I didnt want to listen but I hung on every word
They said some things I wish I hadnt heard
Chorus:
Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when its true
Rumor has it she has you
This towns so small a whisper can be heard a mile away
And people here will gossip when theres nothing else to say
I wouldnt have believed my ears but I see it in your eyes
The stories going round this town arent lies
Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when its true
Rumor has it she has you
Whoa...rumor has it she has you

I Turn Everything Over
Monday found me on my knees
again
Breathing You in
To blur the lines that mark where I
begin
And where You end
No use in trying to pretend
Come take me again
'Cause rumor has it I'm not who
I've been
Come define me
Chorus:
What can we do
If these rumors are true?
I turn everything over
I turn myself in
I turn everything over
I turn myself in
There's nothing left to me to
defend
I turn everything over
I turn myself in, yeah
The evidence convicts the hollow
men
After looking inside
To my dismay I find I'm just one of
them
'Cause I'm already but not yet
resurrected fallen man
Come break this limbo
And I know You know just who
I've been
Come define me
Chorus
Rumor has it you love me
Rumor has it the world spins
upside down
Rumor has it my only hope is in You
And the rumors are true
I turn everything over
Chorus (2x)

I Got The Same Old Blues
(j.j. cale)
Have you heard that rumor thats goin around
My babys got a man, lord way across town
Its the same old story
Tell me where will it end
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again
Well I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong
Stood at the doorway and baby you was gone
Took a lot of courage
To let the telephone ring
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Well you gave me the business, though I didnt mind
cause I got a lot of patience, lord got a lot of time
Its the same old story
Tell me where will it end
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Here come my blues
Gonna find me a mountain and gonna hide out
Aint talkin to you babe, lord I aint comin back
Well I heard that rumor, tell where will it end
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Have you heard that rumor thats goin around
My babys got a man, lord way across town
Its the same old story
Tell me where will this end
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
I got the blues... same old blues

Self Promotion
The best why to get a rumor started,
Especially when one lives in a small town environment...
And depending on publicity for a charity event.
Or something that requires the attendance of an audience.
One should select someone known to spread juicy gossip.
Tell them something outlandish,
Believed in the strictest of confidence.
Add tasty flavor to it!
And...
There you are.
What was said to them,
Will travel faster than any advertising campaign.
And to ears near and those perked up listening far.
'I don't believe this!
Are you serious? '
~Uh huh.
'Mos Def'.
But please, please...
Don't say a 'thing' to anyone.
That was just between you and me.~
However...
One must be timely AND clever.
Start this rumor at least six months before the due date,
Of the actual occurrence of the occasion.
Save a few dollars on that self promotion.

Counting On You
I want you to be my little lover
I want you to be my power glide
Oh, oh, oh, little girl, dont misunderstand me
Cuz theres a rumor going round
Somebodys gonna let me down
And I dont know what its all about
Or if its true
Im counting on you
I want you to drive my el dorado
I want you to fly my aeroplane

Nothing I Could Say
I remember the first time,
I confronted someone...
Reacting to a rumor.
And from a third person heard.
I shouted obscenities,
In the face of this person.
Only to discover...
The rumor I heard,
Had been about another.
Years has passed.
And I have seen again,
That person I offended.
And with friends that person said to me...
'Are you still that fool I remembered?
And are you still as ignorant,
As you impressed me first to be? '
There was nothing I could say.
I had learned to keep my mouth shut.
And from those wishing to start confrontations...
I don't acknowledge this.
I simply walk away.
Growing older to wisen up,
Has its benefits.

Spicy With A Little Bit Of Raunch
I am not a rumor.
Nor am I a page from a script,
To overdo as rehearsed.
I am who I am with no excuses,
To create on the spot or make up...
With a hiding of my flaws.
I have been through too much in my life,
To solicit from anyone an attention to me given.
I am motivated and obsessed by initiative I can't rid.
I am not a rumor.
Although some told on me I have heard are very good.
Spicy with a little bit of raunch.
Nor am I a page from a script.
I live to adventure and not to be limited.
And rehearsed?
I offend too many who are pretentious.

Emotional Highway
Heard youre up to no good
Doin everything I never would
Shakes me up
Brings me down
Puts my world six feet underground
Well I need to know whats going on
Before I lose my mind
If I catch you with her I dont know what Ill do
When I get home what will I find
Whoa emotional highway
Driving all night and day through the pouring rain
Ive heard a rumor now

If my babys giving his heart to someone else
Well my minds playing tricks
To think of you and her just makes me sick
Every mile that I go

Well the road is long and conditions are bad
And all I think about is you

Got to get back, get back to my baby

And lord Ive heard it all
A rumors not a stranger in this town
Now me, I pay no mind
But its hittin home this time
Now Ive been told youve gone and let me down

Dont Make Me Come To Tulsa
(don cook)
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know I hate the flight
I aint been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to God its a lie
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa
You had me eatin right out of your hand
I was your genuine cowboy man
You threw me over for another guy
I ran dallas on a one way flight
Now Im accustomed to the shape Im in
Dont take me down again
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know I hate the flight
I aint been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to God its a lie
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa
Id love to hold you in my arms tonight
Id like to think that youd treat me right
If I believed youd really wanted me
Id crawl to tulsa on my achin knees
But youd just hurt me like you did before
Cant take them blues no more
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know I hate the flight
I aint been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to God its a lie
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa

Secrets
The silent tears of a woman make a warrior cry.
But little did the warrior know that the woman was hiding something.
Something bigger then he could ever imagine it would be.
She wanted to tell him, but she could never find the words to say.
So she hid it under looser clothes.
One day she decided to tell him, but it was to late for he had gone off to battle.
When he came home, he found his love and she told him they had a beautiful baby girl.
At first he didn't believe her until she put the baby girl in his arms.
Wen he saw the beautiful baby girl he cried and promised her he will never leave her.
Now that's the last they heard from them.
Rumors has it that they left Greece and went to Ireland.
Rumor also has it they're expecting a baby boy.
Another rumor is they getting married on the 14th.

What Are You Saying?
Why are the people looking shocked and stunned?
'The one they elected to public office,
To represent their interests.
Has actually confessed to making a mistake,
Without it being yet formally acknowledged.'
NO! ?
'Yes!
And on top of it,
He is holding himself accountable...
For his own actions.'
WHAT?
What on Earth did he do?
'He was seen early this morning.
Jogging.
And without a jockstrap! '
So...
What do you suspect will happen next?
'Well,
It is just a rumor.
No one yet has had this confirmed.
Or has come forward with any evidence.'
Who started the rumor?
'I have my own suspicions.
And these politicians today will do anything,
To get re-elected.'
What are you saying?
'Look!
Would you be that concerned,
About who had a jockstrap on jogging...
At 5: 30 in the morning?
It's not like he's a member of the royal family.
No one cares to spot his jewels.'
What time in the morning does he jog?
And where?

All I Can Say
The rumor spreads as fast as lighting.
The rumor of me being abusive to my brother.
So far, five other have come to me and asked if this was true.
I wanted to cry for I have never lay a hand on him.
But, I just looked at them with my deep brown eyes and said,
'All I can say is that the day I hurt him is the day when I die.'
The bullying spreads faster that an angry bull.
They bully me like we were little children.
I've already been called a loser, ugly, whore, and freak.
I try not to listen, but it grows harder and harder the more they do it.
But, I just looked at them with a silly look in my eyes and said,
'All I can say is that its your opinion of what I am.'
The pain grows larger inside of me.
The pain of a broken heart from losing my dear friend.
I've been holding back the tears so long.
Holding back just feel wrong.
So I burst into tears, while other in voices so cruel as me what's wrong. I just look at them, smile and say,
'All I can say is I'm tired of holding back the pain and the tears. So please, just leave me here.'
The day was long and trying.
My work was done.
Later that week people are crying over me.
I can not see but I can hear how they describe me.
With words that seemed like they never hurt me, I just lay motionless in that box and said in the sky,
'All I can say is, goodbye.'

You Always Need a Friend
You always need a friend
Someone to be by your side
From beginning to the end
Through the ups and downs of this roller coaster ride
You always need a friend
That is generous and caring
Who will help you fix what's ruined
And laugh at what you're wearing
You always need a friend
Who has a good sense of humor
And will put to an end
If they heard wrong of you in a rumor
You always need a friend
That you can trust with anything
Someone that you could depend
On and talk to about everything
This person should be treasured
Because they are your best friend
Their friendship doesn't have to be measured
Since they will be there until the end

Carbon Dating
Are we not in the first years of dating
Does a boy know how to handle
While his hands are yet fumbling
Didn't he promise to make her honest
And the next hour change his mind
This is the scientist's suicide
Carbon dating
i heard rumors of a set date
And while the rumor was yet being spread
It was proclaimed the truth
And this truth was spread all throughout
School
And by the evening another rumor was brewed
And the next day of school yeasterday's
Truth was a lie
You see how school and scientists lack
The knowledge of basic english
A new date is set
Thou the date is different from yesterday's
Today it is printed and pressed
Insomuch that children are pronounced dunce
If they do not subscribe the new date on a a test
The scientist is school's hero
Once it was God
Once children were caresed by the truth
But school has wanted a divorce
And now our children are handled by scientist boy's
Fumbling hands
And they ask
Why is our nation broken?
