Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good

I have a mansion forget the price Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice I live in hotels tear out the walls I have accountants pay for it all

They say I'm crazy but I have a good time I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime Life's been good to me so far

My Maserati does 185 I lost my license now I don't drive I have a limo ride in the back I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

I'm making records my fans they can't wait They write me letters tell me I'm great [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lifes-been-good-lyrics-joe-walsh.html ] So I got me an office gold records on the wall Just leave a message maybe I'll call

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through Everybody says I'm cool (He's cool) I can't complain but sometimes I still do Life's been good to me so far

I go to parties sometimes until four It's hard to leave when you can't find the door It's tough to handle this fortune and fame Everybody's so different I haven't changed

They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time Everybody says Oh yeah (Oh yeah) I keep on going guess I'll never know why Life's been good to me so far

David Essex - Rock On

Hey kid, rock and roll Rock on, ooh, my soul Hey kid, boogey too, did ya

Hey shout, summertime blues Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes Hey kid, rock and roll, rock on

And where do we go from here Which is the way that's clear

Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen Prettiest girl I ever seen See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean (James Dean)

[Instrumental Interlude]

And where do we go from here Which is the way that's clear

Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen Prettiest girl I ever seen See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean Rock on Rock on Rock on

Hey, hey Rock and roll Rock on

Rock on Hey, hey Rock and roll Rock on

Rock on Hey, hey Rock and roll Rock on

Rock on Hey, hey Rock and roll Rock on........

Sapulpa, OK checking in. Safe for now, but there’s a bear of a storm just to our west. The next hour should prove interesting.

[acad1228]

Nope! My storm just collapsed and petered out. All’s well in Sapulpa, OK. Prayers up for OKC!

How ‘bout Turn The Page?

[Revolting cat!]

Don’t you hate songs about songs, that is about theirselves? I do. If you don’t, then explain to me this typical of this subgenre lyric from “Fire and Rain”: “I woke up this morning and I wrote down this song”. What did he write down after waking up? I read it as that he wrote down “I woke up this morning and I wrote down this song”. Does this make sense? Does “This is your song” makes sense? What exactly is “your song”, “this is”? Please help, or Help please!

Thanks Kathy! Appreciate your posts and also your going back to find links for several of the songs I had posted... :-) I saw those earlier posts this a.m., but didn’t get a chance to actually post anything else until tonight. Haven’t heard anything news-wise all day— time to catch up.

Take care!

[Kathy in Alaska]

That’s what I’m doing...trying to catch up and listen to tornado coverage and pay attention to tonight’s music thread.

You take care as well.

[green pastures]

There’s another music thread?

I don’t get out much... ;-)

[green pastures]

Not sure I can speak to the specific songs, but, have you ever taken a couple mirrors and positioned them so they have that “endless” sort of tunnel look with a juxtaposition that approaches infinity?

I tried to find an example, but the one that I could find that shows it best I have to link to because it’s copyrighted:

I think, the song within a song thing is kind of like that. Either that, or those Russian nesting dolls.

Glad I could clear that up for you!

:-)

[Revolting cat!]

Well, exactly. “And you can tell everybody this is your song”. What is she (or he, since the author is Elton John) going to tell everybody is his song? Well, he can tell everybody that “You can tell everybody this is your song”. Everybody will be real confused, me thinks.

Please don’t make me post a picture of Captain Obvious.

What happened to #310?

“It shows you how desperate you are to be listening to all this”

He should have used this line in his introduction for The Plastic Ono Band in Toronto.

Have you ever had the misfortune to attend a Barry Manilow recital? I haven’t either, but I can imagine an audience singalong during one of those historic events - 10,000 people singing along with Barry: “I write the songs, I write the songs”. 10,000 people writing the songs, writing the songs. Fun!
