You seem so sad...why not smile

Things ain’t cookin’ in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn’t conquer the blue sky’

  • Crowded House

Came to Western isles and the Greek young men
And with their silver beards
They laughed at the unknown of the Universe
They could just sit and guess God’s name

World Party

All the gifts that God had gave
And those by fate denied
Gone to where all treasures laid
And where the raven flies

  • Patti Smith

Reverend Bill Funderburk
Sings “He Cared That Much For Me
Charles Surratt introduces
His own composition

“The Joy of Knowing Jesus”
Is a song of pure delight
Featuring John Barbee

R.E.M. feat the Revelaires liner notes

I can’t say that I love Jesus
That would be a hollow claim
He did make some observations
And I’m quoting them today
“Judge not lest ye be judged”
What a beautiful refrain
The studio audience disagrees
Have His lambs all gone astray?

  • R.E.M.

He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones

Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water

Pink Floyd

The lightning, strikes cracking the night
It feels like never before
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I hear a rising force

  • Yngwie Malmsteen

It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shopwindows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio

Paul Simon

Pick yourself up off the side of the road
With your elevator bones and your whip-flash tones
Members only hypnotizers
Move through the room like ambulance drivers

I think I’m sophisticated 'cause I’m living my life
Like a good homo sapiens
But all around me everybody’s multiplying and
They’re walking round like flies man
So I’m no better than the animals sitting
In the cages in the zoo man
'Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
goo-goo-ga-joob

I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

  • Led Zeppelin

I stand atop a spiral stair, an oracle confronts me there
He leads me on light years away
Through astral nights, galactic days
I see the works of gifted hands
That grace this strange and wondrous land
I see the hand of man arise with hungry mind and open eyes

They left our planets long ago
The elder race still learn and grow
Their power grows with purpose strong
To claim the home where they belong
Home to tear the Temples down, home to change

(Rush)

There’s no one left to take the lead
But I tell you and you can see
We’re closer now than light years to go
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
Fall into the ocean

  • R.E.M.

Man, man, your time is sand, your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus, all your ways are known to me

Al Stewart

Far away past a star into the void inside of me
Or smaller past the atoms that have nothing inside
Just the same as a car or a leaf or a star
Cannot move without command
Something moves me and without it I’d be no more living
Than a hole in the sand
Hold my hand, feel its warm touch from the fire inside
Hold my heart, feel its beating, how I can’t decide
I don’t control my sleeping or when I dream away
But there must be something to it
For I wake up everyday

Graeme Edge (The Moody Blues)

White sands, crystal waters
You imagine a world without borders
Imagination don’t cave to gravity
These dreams pale this insane reality
Let the pressure come, we shine like a settin’ sun
Like the good times never done

  • Illy

All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh, we’ll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

Steve Winwood

The other night I lay sleeping
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I called up my pal Jack Daniels
And his partner Jimmy Beam

And we drank alone
Yeah, with nobody else
You know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself

(George Thorogood and the Destroyers)

The last horizons I can see
Are filled with bars and factories
And in them all we fight to stay awake
I drink enough of anything
To make this world look new again
Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

Gin Blossoms
