    Cool

    She Wants To Sell My Monkey
    --Junior Wells


    Me and my baby keep falling out
    let me tell you what it's all about
    She wanna sell my monkey
    She wanna sell my monkey
    She wanna sell my monkey but that won't do

    It used to be hers but she gave him to me
    why she wanna sell him I just can't see
    She wanna sell my monkey
    She wanna sell my monkey
    She wanna sell my monkey but that won't do

    I got to stay home both day and night
    can't trust that girl out of my sight
    She wanna sell my monkey
    She wanna sell my monkey
    She wanna sell my monkey but that won't do

    Love Her Madly--The [i]mighty[/i] Doors

    Don't ya love her madly
    Don't ya need her badly
    Don't ya love her ways
    Tell me what you say

    Don't ya love her madly
    Wanna be her daddy
    Don't ya love her face
    Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door
    Like she did one thousand times before

    Don't ya love her ways
    Tell me what you say
    Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door

    All your love
    All your love
    All your love
    All your love

    All your love is gone
    So sing a lonely song
    Of a deep blue dream
    Seven horses seem to be on the mark

    Yeah, don't you love her
    Don't you love her as she's walkin' out the door

    All your love
    All your love
    All your love

    Yeah, all your love is gone
    So sing a lonely song
    Of a deep blue dream
    Seven horses seem to be on the mark

    Well, don't ya love her madly
    Don't ya love her madly
    Don't ya love her madly

    You know what song I love? and everytime I hear it, i think of dave singing it...

    its the theme to the Sopranos "Woke Up This Morning"

    Woke up this morning. Got yourself a gun.
    Mama always said you'd be the Chosen One.

    She said: You're one in a million you've got to burn to shine,
    But you were born under a bad sign, with a blue moon in your eyes.

    Woke up this morning all the love has gone,
    Your Papa never told you about right and wrong.

    But you're looking good, baby, I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
    Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes.

    Woke up this morning the world turned upside down,
    Thing's ain't been the same since the Blues walked into town.

    But you're one in a million you've got that shotgun shine.
    Born under a bad sign, with a blue moon in your eyes.

    Woke up this morning, when you woke up this morning,
    When you woke up this morning, you got yourself a gun.

    Down Brownie--ZZ Top

    When I woke up this mornin'
    had a smile run across my face.
    My baby from town just had to get down,
    come and drag me all over the place.

    Gonta drive on a flatbed trailer truck
    down on highway fifty-nine.
    I had the blues and my baby, she knew
    she's holdin' little piece of mind.

    Down brownie,
    my brownie downtown,
    down brownie.

    Got my share and I'm a black hand cottonfield
    just to try and keep myself alive.
    Eatin' red beans and rice with the right sauce, it's nice
    or anything you wanna try.

    Now I'm hitchin' a ride back from Brownie's,
    I'm kind of sad but I feel alright.
    The cold night it stings but I got me some wings,
    I'll be flyin' into Houston tonight.

    She Loves my Automobile--ZZ TOP

    She don't love me, she love my automobile.
    She don't love me, she love my automobile.
    Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.
    She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
    She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
    I said honey why don't you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.

    Well now she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk.
    Well she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk,
    Long as she got the keys and there's a spare wheel in her trunk.

    A little less conversation, a little more action please
    All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
    A little more bite and a little less bark
    A little less fight and a little more spark
    Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
    Satisfy me baby

    Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
    Drifting through a summer breeze
    Its a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
    Come along with me and put your mind at ease

    A little less conversation, a little more action please
    All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
    A little more bite and a little less bark
    A little less fight and a little more spark
    Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
    Satisfy me baby

    Come on baby Im tired of talking
    Grab your coat and lets start walking
    Come on, come on
    Come on, come on

    Girl its getting late, gettin upset waitin around

    A little less conversation, a little more action please
    All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
    A little more bite and a little less bark
    A little less fight and a little more spark
    Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me

    The Pusher

    You know I smoked a lot of grass.
    Oh Lord! I popped a lot of pills.
    But I've never touched nothin'
    That my spirit couldn't kill.
    You know I've seen a lot of people walking 'round
    With tombstones in their eyes.
    But the pusher don't care
    If you live -- or if you die.
    God Damn! The pusher.
    God Damn! The pusher.
    I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.
    You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
    With a lump of grass in his hand.
    But the pusher is a monster
    Not a natural man.
    The dealer for a nickel
    Goin to sell you lots of sweet dreams.
    Ah...but the pusher will ruin your body;
    Lord he'll leave your mind to scream.
    God Damn! The pusher.
    God Damn! God damn the pusher.
    I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.
    Well now if I were the president of this land
    You know I'd declare total war on the pusher man.
    I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he run,
    And I'd kill him with my bible, and my razor and my gun....
    GOD DAMN! The pusher
    God damn the pusher.

    Cool My Head's In Mississippi...a how how how how...

    I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand,
    but my head's in Mississippi.
    I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand,
    but my head's in Mississippi.
    The blues has got a hold of me.
    I believe I'm gettin' dizzy. (Spoken: Help me now.)

    I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
    Lord, I thought I was in Heaven.
    I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
    I thought I was in Heaven.
    But I was stumblin' thru the parking lot
    of an invisible seven eleven. (Spoken: What was I doin out there?)

    Where's my head baby?
    Somewhere in Mississippi.

    Last night I saw a cowgirl.
    She was floatin' across the ceiling.
    And last night I saw a naked cowgirl.
    She was floatin' across the ceiling.

    I met thiz chick way back in June
    Tol' her dat I'd buy her the moon
    Slipped, tripped, fell in love and she's the onliest one dat nebah gib me dem blues
    She says I howl like a wolf, sing like a bird, she called me Loons
    She likes to boogie real low, favourite position is the spoon
    I'm all o'er her like a hound dog chasin' a coon
    She wrecked my life like a God damn monsoon
    I'd follow her anywhere even Saskatoon or de moon
    I'd fight a shark with a toothpick, battle a whole platoon
    For her, I'd kill the devil with a harpoon
    Become an oil tycoon
    Love her all afternoon
    Buy her 99,000 balloons
    Kill off every Gambino goon
    Open a salloon
    watch all the National lampoons
    ...an' that's why they call me the lowdown Loons
    ...

    Everything Is Broken--Bob Dylan

    Broken lines, broken strings,
    Broken threads, broken springs,
    Broken idols, broken heads,
    People sleeping in broken beds.
    Ain't no use jiving
    Ain't no use joking
    Everything is broken.

    Broken bottles, broken plates,
    Broken switches, broken gates,
    Broken dishes, broken parts,
    Streets are filled with broken hearts.
    Broken words never meant to be spoken,
    Everything is broken.

    Seem like every time you stop and turn around
    Something else just hit the ground

    Broken cutters, broken saws,
    Broken buckles, broken laws,
    Broken bodies, broken bones,
    Broken voices on broken phones.
    Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
    Everything is broken.

    Every time you leave and go off someplace
    Things fall to pieces in my face

    Broken hands on broken ploughs,
    Broken treaties, broken vows,
    Broken pipes, broken tools,
    People bending broken rules.
    Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking,
    Everything is broken.

    Tombstone Blues--Bob Dylan

    The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
    The city fathers they're trying to endorse
    The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
    But the town has no need to be nervous

    The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
    To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
    A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
    At the head of the chamber of commerce

    Mama's in the fact'ry
    She ain't got no shoes
    Daddy's in the alley
    He's lookin' for the fuse
    I'm in the streets
    With the tombstone blues

    The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
    Screaming she moans, "I've just been made"
    Then sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade
    Says, "My advice is to not let the boys in"

    Now the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
    He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
    "Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
    You will not die, it's not poison"

    Mama's in the fact'ry
    She ain't got no shoes
    Daddy's in the alley
    He's lookin' for the fuse
    I'm in the streets
    With the tombstone blues

    Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
    Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
    Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
    Is there a hole for me to get sick in?"

    The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
    Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
    And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
    Saving, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken"

    Mama's in the fact'ry
    She ain't got no shoes
    Daddy's in the alley
    He's lookin' for the fuse
    I'm in the streets
    With the tombstone blues

    The king of the Philistines his soldiers to save
    Put jawbones on their tombstones and flatters their graves
    Puts the pied pipers in prison and fattens the slaves
    Then sends them out to the jungle

    Gypsy Davey with a blowtorch he burns out their camps
    With his faithful slave Pedro behind him he tramps
    With a fantastic collection of stamps
    To win friends and influence his uncle

    Mama's in the fact'ry
    She ain't got no shoes
    Daddy's in the alley
    He's lookin' for the fuse
    I'm in the streets
    With the tombstone blues

    The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone
    Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
    At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
    But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter

    Now I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill
    I would set him in chains at the top of the hill
    Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille
    He could die happily ever after

    Mama's in the fact'ry
    She ain't got no shoes
    Daddy's in the alley
    He's lookin' for the fuse
    I'm in the streets
    With the tombstone blues

    Where Ma Raney and Beethoven once unwrapped their bed roll
    Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole
    And the National Bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul
    To the old folks home and the college

    Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain
    That could hold you dear lady from going insane
    That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
    Of your useless and pointless knowledge

    Mama's in the fact'ry
    She ain't got no shoes
    Daddy's in the alley
    He's lookin' for the fuse
    I'm in the streets
    With the tombstone blues

    Happy Rovin' Cowboy--Bob Nolan

    Hear my song as I ride along
    I'm a happy rovin' cowboy
    Herdin' the dark clouds out of the sky
    Keepin' the heavens blue

    No where to go nothing to do
    I'm a happy rovin' cowboy
    Let me ride that long trail down to the end
    Where the skies are always blue

    I aint got a dime; I'm just spendin' my time
    I'm a happy rovin' cowboy
    Let me sing my song till they call me home
    To the land beyond the blue

    Cool Water--Sons Of The Pioneers

    All day I face the barren waste without the taste of water,
    Cool water.
    Old Dan and I with throats burned dry and souls that cry for water,
    Cool water.

    The night are cool and I'm a fool each stars a pool of water,
    Cool water.
    But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn and carry on to water,
    Cool water.

    (Chorus)
    Keep a movin' Dan, don't you listen to him Dan, he's a devil not a man
    and he spreads the burnin' sand with water.
    Dan can't you see that big green tree where the waters runnin' free
    and it's waiting there for me and you.
    Water, cool water.

    The shadows sway and seem to say tonight we pray for water,
    Cool water.
    And way up there He'll hear our prayer and show us where there's water,
    Cool Water.

    Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for just one thing more than water,
    Cool water.
    Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest where there's no quest for water,
    Cool water.
