"I've been drivin' all night, My hand's wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head That drives my heel It's my baby callin', Says: I need you here And it's a half past four And I'm shifting gear"
Here's another one;
"Jackie is just speeding away Thought she was James Dean for a day Then I guess she had to crash Valium would have helped that bash Said, "Hey, babe, Take a walk on the wild side." I said, "Hey, honey, Take a walk on the wild side." And the coloured girls say, "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
And then there was this cracker;
"Come on baby, eat the rich, Put the bite on the son of a bitch, Don't mess around, don't give me no switch, C'mon baby eat the rich C'mon baby eat the rich"
Jimi doing his stuff as only Jimi could;
"Oh! Move over, Rover and let Jimi take over Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout Yeah, get on with it, baby That's what I'm talking 'bout Now dig this! Ha! Now listen, baby"
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Wise yet haunting words from a rock band which broke the mould:
In another life You might have been a genius In another life You might have been a star In another life Your face might have been perfect In another life You'd drive a better car
In another life All your jokes are funny In another life Your heart is free from fear In another life You make a lot of money In this other life Everything is clear
In another life You're always the hero In another life You always win the game In another life No one ever cheats you In another life You never have to change
In another life Your friends never desert you In another life You never have to cry In another life No one ever hurts you In this other life Your loved-ones never die
But this is the life you have This is the life you have This is the life you have This is the life
In another life You're always the victim In another life You're always the thief In another life You are always lonely In this other life There is no relief
In your real life Treat it like it's special In your real life Try to be more kind In your real life Think of those that love you In this real life Try to be less blind
THIS IS THE LIFE YOU HAVE

Im Funky like a train Im funky like a train IM FUNKY LIKE A TRAIN.
@The Equals 'Funky like a train' 1976 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three nights ago I was at a disco Man I wanted bump I was rearing to go. This big fat woman bumped me on the floor. She was rearing to go. That chick was rearing to go. Then she did a dip, Almost broke my hip She was getting down. That chick was getting down. She wanted to bump some mo, But I told her no. You done knocked me down once. You done knocked me down once. Said if you want to dance Find you a big fat man. Y'all gone and get on down. Y'all gone and get on down.
Chorus: I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman. I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman. I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman. I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman. I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman. I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman. I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman. I ain't gone bump no mo with no big fat woman.
Somebody take her. She's too big for me. She done knocked me down once, down once.
Somebody take her. I don't want her. She done hurt my hip. She done knocked down. Done hurt my hip. She done knocked down Somebody take her. I don't want her. Say LeRoy, You can have this one too. This big fat woman I don't want her
joe tex 'aint gonna bump no more with no big fat woman' 1976 -----------------------------------------------------

Ah, much maligned disco! (the genre, not the poster) A couple of my favorites, first from Heatwave and the pen of the might Rod Temperton:
If the heat gets out of hand. There sure nuff be a fire. Cause you can't stop a blazing band. They'll only take you higher! You got to step out of the shoes. Cause the beat will make you blister. And it can burn up, burn up all your fuel. And blow out your resistor(sister)
And my all time favorite band EWF:
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many bets The mirror stares you in the face and says,"Baby, uh, uh, it don't work" You say your prayers though you don't care; you dance and shake the hurt

I've got the same shirt on for two days in a row With a soya sauce stain so everyone knows Can shower and scrub Still smell like the smoking bit in a Weatherspoons pub
I'll have my lunch early, get some sugar in my blood My clothes still smell of last night I've got to clear my head

She says, "Look at this town, son Take a good luck around, son, Why should anyone here be saved?
So he says, "Every crooked lane that you can see Every open home, every hollow tree Is a home for creatures loved by me, And oh to be counted among them"
- Villagers.
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
Mose Allison baby yeah. Like a lot of the incredible suggestions on this thread, lyrics that very much resonate today:
I can't believe the things I'm seeing I wonder 'bout some things I've heard Everybody's Crying Mercy When they don't know the meaning of the word
A bad enough situation It's sure enough getting worse Everybody's Crying Justice Just as long as it's business first
Toe to toe Touch and go Give a cheer Get your souvenir
People running 'round in circles Don't know what they're headed for Everybody's Crying Peace on Earth Just as soon as we win this war
Straight ahead Knock 'em dead Pack your kit Choose your hypocrite
Well you don't have to go to off-Broadway To see something plain absurd Everybody's Crying Mercy When they don't know the meaning of the word Nobody knows the meaning of the word
Fill your heart with love today Don't play the game of time Things that happened in the past Only happened in your Mind Only in your Mind-Forget your Mind And you'll be free-yea' The writing's on the wall Free-yea'. And you can know it all If you choose. Just remember Lovers never lose 'Cause they are Free of thoughts unpure [sic] And of thoughts unkind Gentleness clears the soul Love cleans the mind And makes it Free.

You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials, Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In 4 parts without commercial interruptions. The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams and Mendel Rivers to eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia. The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal. The revolution will not get rid of the nubs. The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, the revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run, or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance. NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 on reports from 29 districts. The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process. There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving For just the right occasion.
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so god damned relevant, and women will not care if Dick finally screwed Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose. The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash or Englebert Humperdink. The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised. The revolution will be no re-run brothers; The revolution will be live.

on a more lighthearted note - my hip hop karaoke party piece...
I wanna rock right now I'm Rob Base and I came to get down I'm not internationally known But I'm known to rock the microphone Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous Stay away from me if you're contagious 'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a Ladies love me, girls adore me I mean even the ones who never saw me Like the way that I rhyme at a show The reason why, man, I don't know So let's go,

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore I put it on when I go lonely Will you take off your dress and send it to me
sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore Bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe'em on your dress and send it to me Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that i had just something you wore
Just run outside in the desert heat Make your dress all wet and send it to me

lyrics/e/elvis_costello/radio_s Okay, so the Fcker won't work Here we go, by hand
My head is spinning and my legs are weak Goose step dancing, can't hear myself speak Hope in the eyes of the ugly girls that settle for the eyes of the last chancers when slow motion drunks pick wallflower dancers Go back home with a hard luck story I can hardly wait around until the weekend comes to town
