Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

 

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

 

Folks I'm going down to Saint James infirmary. To see my baby there she sits on a long white table. She's so sweet so cold so fair. Let her go let her go God bless her wherever she may be. She may search the wide world over but she'll never find a sweet man like me. Now when I die bury me my straight leg britches high top stetson hat put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain so you so you can let all the boys know I died standing there. Folks now that you have heard my story. Say boy hand me over another shot of that boo ooze. If any you should ask you tell em I got those Saint James infirmary blues.

 

Did he ever return, no he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned.

 

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

 

People are strange, when your a stranger, faces seem ugly when your alone, ...

 

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games. We got everything you want honey we know the names. We are the people who can find whatever you may need. If you got the money honey we got your disease in the jungle welcome to the jungle watch it bring you to your knees.

 

Who can it be knocking at my door. Go away don't knock no more. Can't you see it's late at night. Pretty tired and I'm not feeling right. All I wish is to be alone. Stay away don't you invade my home. Best off if you hang outside. Don't come in I'll only run and hide.

 

I used to love her, but I had to kill her, I used to love her, but I had to kill her, ...she bitched so much, she drove me nuts, now she's buried right in my front yaa aaa aaaa ard, and I can still hear her complain

 

Take 2...
Okay...

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right

Beatles, White Album, 1968

 

I was thinking to include ALL the lyrics, but I think this gives you the gist of it...

Good evening
You know my name
Look, look, look up the number
You know my name
That's right, look up the number
You, you know, you know my name
You, you know, you know my name
You know my name, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Look up the number
You know my name
That's right, look up the number
Oh, you know, you know, you know my name
You know, you know, you know my name, huh huh huh huh
You know my name, ba ba ba pum
Look up the number
You know my name
Look up the number
You, you know, you know my name, baby
You, you know, you know my name

 

This song runs through my mind several times a week since I was a child. It's here again, but always welcome.


In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

 

In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep

You lie awake and think about the girl,
And never, ever think of counting sheep...
