Xanadu, by RUSH:
“To seek the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honey dew
And drink the milk of Paradise...”
Stretching it I know!

The drinking song from Atto Primo of Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata”
Libiam ne’ lieti calici
Che la bellezza infiora,
E la fuggevol ora
S’inebri a volutta’.
Libiam ne’ dolci fremiti
Che suscita l’amore,
Poiche’ quell’occhio al core
(indicando Violetta)
Onnipotente va.
Libiamo, amor fra i calici
Piu’ caldi baci avra’.
Libiamo, amor fra i calici
Piu’ caldi baci avra’.
Tra voi sapro’ dividere
Il tempo mio giocondo;
Tutto e’ follia nel mondo
Cio’ che non e’ piacer.
Godiam, fugace e rapido
E’ il gaudio dell’amore;
E’ un fior che nasce e muore,
Ne’ piu’ si puo’ goder.
Godiam c’invita un fervido
Accento lusinghier.
Godiam la tazza e il cantico
La notte abbella e il riso;
In questo paradiso
Ne scopra il nuovo di’.
You will feel AWESOME!
David Allan Coe - You Never Even Called Me By My Name:
...Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song and he told me it was the perfect country and western song I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect country and western song because he hadn’t said anything about Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin’ drunk.
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes like this here:
Well, I was drunk the day my Momma got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
So I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin’ in the rain.
No, you don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
You never even call me, I wonder why you don’t call me
Why don’t you ever call me by my name?
Mary Gautier -- I Drink
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and START OH VER
