Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for a train...

I figured BROBS would go for "Well tell you what I want what I really really want"

Here is a song that will keep you interested I hope.
From the album Tales From Topographic Oceans.
The song is called The Revealing Science of God.

 

[haparnold]

"Early one morning the sun was shining, I was laying in bed. Wonderin' if she had changed at all, if her hair was still red"

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen / Pour myself a cup of ambition...

 

[bullet08]

"Well, it was all that I could do to keep from crying'"

The only two things in life that make it worth livin', is guitars that tune good and firm-feelin' women...

This is a ghetto public announcement:
Weed smokers, roll your blunts tight
and light your joints.
inhale... slowly exhale.
that’s how you get high.
Master P- Pass Me Da Green

 

[Old School 3319]

Hey Jude dont make it bad

Race against race, such a foolish waste, it’s like cuttin’ off your nose to spite your face...

 

[Old School 3319]

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

 

[Old School 3319]

Hey Jude dont make it bad

only the beatles could repeat the same 2 words for fifteen minutes with na na na na and have a hit

"I'm just a middle-aged middle-eastern camel herdin' man.."

 

[cosmicfolklore]

You wake up late for school, man, you don't wanna go; you ask your mom, "Please?" but she still says, "No!"

 

[bullet08]

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

I'm listening to it right now ?

 

[mso489]

If you knew Tootsie like I know Tootsie,
Oh, oh, oh what a gal.


Mine eyes have seen the coming of
the glory of the Lord ...

Be it ever so humble
There's no place like home.

One for the money, two for the show,
three to get ready then go cat go,
but don't you step on my blue suede shoes...

Yesterday, trouble seemed so far away ...

We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout,
we been taking about Jackson ever since the fire went out

You load sixteen tons and what do you get,
another day older and you're deeper in debt,
St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store.

I'm still trying to think of what my favorite is, and I haven't come to it yet.
