Spill the Wine


I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me an overfed long haired leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie, hmmm
But there I was
I was taken to a place
The hall of the mountain kings
I stood high by the mountain tops

Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl
There was long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said,


Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl

I thought to myself, what could that mean
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream
Now wait a minute
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere

So it's all in my head
And then I heard her say one more time

Spill the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine dig that girl

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned

In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said

Take the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl

Spill the wine, dig that girl
Take that girl, yeah!
It's on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! yeah!
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
Dig that girl!

Back To The Future Part1: The Power Of Love





The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love


Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus 1 :
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go'round


[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/h/huey+lewis+and+the+news/the+power+of+love_20066339.html ]
Chorus 2 :
And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm



Chorus 3 :
It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

Mike & The Mechanics - Silent Running

Take your children and yourself and hide out in the cellar.
By now the fighting will be close at hand.
Don't believe the church and state
and everything they tell you.
Believe in me
I'm with the high command.

Can you hear me?
can you hear me running?
Can you heal me running?
can you hear me calling you?
Can you heal me?
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
can you hear me calling you?

There's a gun and amnunition just inside the doorway;
Use it only in emergency.
Better you should pray to God
the father and the spirit.
Will guide you and protect you from up here.
Can you hear me
can you hear me running? . . .

Show allegiance to the flag whatever flag they offer.
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for some day sons and daughters.
Will rise up and fight where we stood still.

Can you hear me?
can you hear me running?
Can you heal me running?
can you hear me calling you?
Can you heal me?
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running?
hear me running?
babe!
Can you hear me running?
hear me running!
Calling you...
calling you!

Basically close to the entire Kinks catalog! Powerman, for sure, but also most of the songs from Preservation, Preservation II, and many, many others.

Powerman

I know a man, he’s a powerful man
He’s got the people in his power
In the palm of his hand.
He started at the bottom and he worked his way up
Now he’s never going to stop
Until he reaches the top.
It’s the same old story, it’s the same old dream,
It’s power man, power man, and all that it can bring.
If you want your money, you better stand in the line
‘Cos you’ll only end up picking up nickels and dimes.
You call him names and he sits and grins
‘Cos everybody else is just a sucker to him.
And he’s got my money, but I’ve got my faith
And powerman, powerman, I’ll never be your slave.
It’s the same old story, it’s the same old game
It’s power man, power man, driving me insane
People tried to conquer the world Napoleon and Genghis Khan
Hitler tried and Mussolini too
Powerman don’t need to fight, powerman don’t need no guns
Powerman got money on his side
Well I’m not rich and I’m not free
But I’ve got my girl and she got me
He’s got my money and my publishing rights
But I’ve got my girl and I’m alright
And she got me going, and she keeps me sane
But powerman, powerman, got money on the brain
It’s the same old story it’s the same old game
Powerman, powerman driving me insane

Money Talks from Preservation Act II

Show me a man who says he can live without bread
And I’ll show you a man who’s a liar and in debt.
There’s no one alive who can’t be purchased or enticed
There’s no man alive who wouldn’t sell for a price,
Money talks and we’re the living proof,
There ain’t no limit to what money can do
Money talks, money talks.

Money can’t breathe and money can’t see,
But when I pull out a fiver people listen to me.
Money can’t run and money can’t walk,
But when I write out a cheque I swear to God I hear money talk.
Money talks and, baby, when you’ve been bought
You pay attention everytime money talks.
Money talks, money talks.

Money talks and there’s no doubt about it
Money talks and we can’t live without it,
What’s the point of living unless you’ve got money?
I just couldn’t function without money.
Money talks, money talks,
Money talks, money talks.

Show me an upright respected man
And I’ll have him licking my boots when I put money in his hand.
It rots your heart, it gets to your soul,
Before you know where you are you’re a slave to the green gold.
Money talks and we’re the living proof
There ain’t no limit to what money can do.
Money talks you out of your self-respect,
The more you crave it the cheaper you get.
Money talks, money talks.

Money buys you time and people listen,
Money can buy a smile and make life worth living.
If you’re ugly money can improve you.
I just couldn’t face the world without mazuma.
Money talks, money talks.

Thanks....I made it home, but it was not a fun drive. The wind is blowing like crazy. Anywhere there is snow on the roads either the blowing snow makes driving interesting, OR it has made them a sheet of ice.

I saw 2 cars stuck in the roadside snowbanks.

((HUGS))

The Hard Way - the Headmaster has summoned the Schoolboy to his office for a caning - this is the lecture that precedes the caning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFC4WFytP0o

Boys like you were born to waste,
You never listen to a word I say
And if you think you’re here to mess around,
You’re making a big mistake,
‘Cos you’re gonna find out the hard way,
You gonna find out the hard way.

No matter what I do or say,
You’re much too dumb to educate.
One day life’s going to turn around and slap you in the face,
Then you’re gonna find out the hard way.
You’ll take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.

Well, you’ll do it your way and I’ll do it my way,
And we’ll see who’s the one to survive.
You’ll find that with no foundation
Or qualifications
There’s no way that you can get by,
No, there’s no way you can get by.

Why don’t you take the easy way?
Why don’t you co-operate?
Don’t just sit there and vegetate.
Do you want to end up illiterate?
You think that life’s a vacation
And you’ve no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind.
Now it’s time for confrontation
And I’m tired of being patient,
So I’ve got to be cruel to be kind.
Yeah, I’ve got to be cruel to be kind.

I’m wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat
When you’re only fit to sweep the streets.
Your intellect is such
That it requires a killer’s touch.

So I’m going to play it your way,
We’ll take the hard way.
Going to take the hard way,
You can take the hard way.
Gonna take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.
