This is from his last CD:
Young Abdel Mahdi (Shahmay) was only 18 years old, He was the youngest of nine children, never spent a night away from home. And his mother held his photograph, opening the New York Times To see the killing has intensified along the road to peace
There was a tall, thin boy with a whispy moustache disguised as an orthodox Jew On a crowded bus in Jerusalem, some had survived World War Two And the thunderous explosion blew out windows 200 yards away With more retribution and seventeen dead along the road to peace
Now at King George Ave and Jaffa Road passengers boarded bus 14a In the aisle next to the driver Abdel Mahdi (Shahmay) And the last thing that he said on earth is "God is great and God is good" And he blew them all to kingdom come upon the road to peace
Now in response to this another kiss of death was visited upon Yasser Taha, Israel says is an Hamas senior militant And Israel sent four choppers in, flames engulfed, tears wide open And it killed his wife and his three year old child leaving only blackened skeletons
It's found his toddlers bottle and a pair of small shoes and they waved them in front of the cameras But Israel says they did not know that his wife and child were in the car There are roadblocks everywhere and only suffering on TV Neither side will ever give up their smallest right along the road to peace
Israel launched it's latest campaign against Hamas on Tuesday Two days later Hamas shot back and killed five Israeli soldiers So thousands dead and wounded on both sides most of them middle eastern civilians They fill the children full of hate to fight an old man's war and die upon the road to peace
"And this is our land we will fight with all our force" say the Palastinians and the Jews Each side will cut off the hand of anyone who tries to stop the resistance If the right eye offends thee then you must pluck it out And Mahmoud Abbas said Sharon had been lost out along the road to peace
Once Kissinger said "we have no friends, America only has interests" Now our president wants to be seen as a hero and he's hungry for re-election But Bush is reluctant to risk his future in the fear of his political failures So he plays chess at his desk and poses for the press 10,000 miles from the road to peace
In the video that they found at the home of Abdel Mahdi (Shahmay) He held a Kalashnikov rifle and he spoke with a voice like a boy He was an excellent student, he studied so hard, it was as if he had a future He told his mother that he had a test that day out along the road to peace
The fundamentalist killing on both sides is standing in the path of peace But tell me why are we arming the Israeli army with guns and tanks and bullets? And if God is great and God is good why can't he change the hearts of men? Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help Maybe God himself he needs all of our help Maybe God himself is lost and needs help He's out upon the road to peace
Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help Maybe God himself he needs all of our help And he's lost upon the road to peace And he's lost upon the road to peace Out upon the road to peace.
I was asking the same question.
Sad. Readin' the wrong newspapers and tryin' to stay relevant.
"Step Right Up" was the first TW song I ever heard. It was on the radio back in late 70's-early 80's and to this day the only time I have heard a TW song on the radio. His "One from the Heart" soundtrack w/Crystal Gale is grossly under appreciated.
Edward Hopper good.
This clown not so good.
... thought it was coke, but heroin seems likely as well, since he was living with Rickie Lee Jones in those days."
Probably both. We used to play his music late nights while everyone was wasted. Seemed appropriate. Glad I'm still alive with a few brain cells left. Apparently he has used up his last one with 'The Road to Peace' crap.
I would like to tell Tom:
We arming the Israeli army with guns and tanks and bullets so they can defend themselves against the genocidal maniacs whom you idolize.
Tom, you are the problem. Not the solution.
I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt we send any money to Iran or Syria. However, lets give the Democrats a few more years in control and we probably will.
Have a Merry Christmas in Europa-stan!
Drop dead troll.
One of my all time favorites...did you see the movie SMOKE???? The last scenes about AUGIE'S CHRISTMAS STORY as re-enacted to this song is unforgettable!
Mr. Sweden- 12/24/2006.
"Frank's Wild Years" ... very funny.
So what about his world peace ramblings; he has no effect on anything...
Eventually, we all want Peace.
Glade Jul!!
Skoal!!
With Crystal Gayle...? Sounds interesting.
Frank's Theme
Dream away the tears in your eyes
Dream away your sorrows
Dream away all your goodbyes
Dream away tomorrow
I promise when the sun comes up
I promise I'll be true
and just like before the band starts to play
they always play your favorite tune
and dream awawy when everyone's gone
dream away your grey skies tooo
dream away and nothing is wrong
dreams have wishes that are waiting for you
and up ahead the road is turning
turning for you and me
and just like before
the band starts to play
now there's that twinkle in your eye
and dream away
We eat crappy little nations like yours for breakfast and dump 'em out before lunch.
We walk taller, fight harder, and f*** longer than the next 6 nations full of inbred Eurotrash could ever dream of doing.
Merry Christmas a**hole.

Yes, I agree, the scenes were really a great tie in to the song. Loved it.
