Money,
so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
It's no surprise that their giving
none away
away
away
away
away
away

Stop wasting my time
You know what I want
You know what I need
Or maybe you don't
Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything

Gimme some money
Gimme some money

Don't get me wrong
Try getting me right
Your face is o.k.
But your purse is too tight
I'm looking for pound notes loose change bad checks, anything

Gimme some money


[Spinal Tap - Gimme Some Money]

I been laid off from work my rent is due
My kids all need brand new shoes
So I went to the bank to see what they could do
They said: son look like bad luck got a hold on you

Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an unemployment extension
Money's too tight to mention

Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round.

A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around,
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round.

Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
Money money

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together,
I've got some real estate here in my bag,
So we bought a pack of cigarettes - and Mrs Wagner Pie's
And Walked off to look for America,

Kathy I said as we borded a Greyhound in Pittsburg
Michigan seems like a dream to me now,
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saganaw
I've come to look for America.

Truckin' got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin', like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on.

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street.
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

Truckin', up to Buffalo. Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin' on.

Now, I just want to keep my name, not bother anybody’s game
Without ideas of gold or fame or insane heights.
I don’t want a lot of money, I don’t want a playboy bunny,
Just a love to call me honey late at night,
In my arms, by my side, in my arms late at night.

But I don’t know, I ain’t been told,
Ev’rybody wants a hand to hold.
They’re so afraid of being old,
So scared of dying, so unknown
And so alone, rollin’ home.

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
As for friends, you don't have any.

When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend.
It's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out,
When you're down and out.

When you're down and out
when you're on the street
when evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
oh when darkness comes
and pain is all around
like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons we must die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee


[Nirvana]

The sun is out, the sky is blue.
There's not a cloud,that spoils the
view.
But it's raining,
Raining in my heart.

Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears.
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand,
You got all the love, honey baby,
I can stand.

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows
Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
have fallen from her curls...



(to continue the Dylan connection)

A song of love is a sad song,
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe
Don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song
For I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain,
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again,
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo.

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Ah, it's a blue world

It's a new world
You need somebody to love somebody
Ah, it's a blue world

Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Five foot two, eyes of blue,
oh, what those five feet could do:
has anybody seen my gal?

Turned-up nose, turned-down hose
Flapper? Yes sir, one of those
Has anybody seen my gal?

[Pretty good soundtrack - Quicktime: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stage/1430/Jbrenner/seen_my_gal.html]

Met a gal in calico
Down in Santa Fe
Used to be her Sunday beau
'Til I rode away
Do I want her
Do I want her love - yes, siree
Will I win her
Will I win her love - wait and see

Just love Manhattan Transfer but they're on vinyl here - may have to invest in a CD.
