Maynard's musical monstrosity - The last great music game

Hey Ladi · 02-18-2002, 10:11 PM

(Haven't seen the movie, but I did read the book.)

Joni Mitchell
THE MIDNIGHT COWBOY SONG

I was in an all night movie
When I heard the usher say
Here comes the midnight cowboy
Got his gun hired out for pay;
You were walking kind of faded
From the Netherlands Hotel
With your hat tipped off to ladies
Really looking well.

Aw Joe, why don't you go back home?
Really hate to see you falling down
Get out of town.

Well you came to New York City With a calendar full of gold
Now they locked it up in the bedroom
And they kicked you out in the cold;
Now you can't afford a little blanket
You can get one from a friend
You can trick one off the corner
You can even keep the change - to spend.

Hey Joe, why don't you go back home?
Really hate to see you come falling down
Get out of town.

There's a soldier in the depot
He's a fighting nightingale
Wearing western boots and buckskin on
Reading fortunes from the penny scale;
Now today he's got a a quarter
For the photograph machine
But tomorrow he'll be lonely lonely
That's the way it's always been.

Poor Joe, why don't you go back home?
Really hate to see you falling down
Get out of town.

I was in an all night movie
When I heard the usher say
Here comes the midnight cowboy again
Got his gun hired out for pay;
You were walking kind of faded
From the Netherlands hotel
Hat tipped off to ladies
Tipped off to gentlemen as well.

Well Joe, why don't you go back home?
Find yourself a girl and settle down
Get out of town
Get out of town
Find yourself a girl, go and settle down
Hey Joe, looking more lost than found
Get out of town.

Midnight Rider
Allman Brothers

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding,
And I'm bound to keep on riding.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

And I've gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,
And I've got one more silver dollar,

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.

<center>Midnight Rambler
- Rolling Stones

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Ev'ry body got to go.
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler,
The one that shut the kitchen door?
He don't give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak.
He don't go in the light of the morning,
He's split, the time the cock'rel crows.

Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,
The one you never seen before.
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler,
Did you see him jump the garden wall?
Sighin' down the wind so softly,
Listen and you'll hear him moan.
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler,
Ev'rybody got to go!

Did you hear about the midnight gambler?
Well, honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show.
Well, I'm talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler,
The one you've never seen before.

Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that.

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler;
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall.
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Did you see me make my midnight call?
And if you catch the Midnight Rambler,
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose.
Well, go easy with your cold fandango,
I'll stick my knife right down your throat!
Baby, and it hurts!

Sympathy for the Devil
Rolling Stones

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed His fate

{Refrain}
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

{Refrain}

I watched the gleam while your kings and queens
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Fought for ten decades for the Gods they made
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
I shouted out, who killed the Kennedys
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
When after all, it was you and me
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

{Ooh ooh's continue throughout}

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

{Refrain}

Oh yeah, get down, hit it

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah

{Refrain}

Mm mean it, get down

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can you guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo, all right
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo, all right

<center>Devil's Child
Judas Priest

Hypnotize me
Mesmerize me
Feel my willpower slip
Light my fire
With cold desire
Losing all my grip

Eat my diamonds
Drinking all my gin
Feast your eyes on
A whole lotta sin

Oh no you're so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child

Took my dreams
And now it's seems you're nothing but a liar
Smash and grab at all I had
Build my funeral pyre
Stop pretendin'
Got me growin' old
Your tormentin's
Fit to snap my soul

Oh no you're so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child

You took my heart
And left it blown to smithereens
I gave my body as a slave
You cut my flesh
And drank my blood that poured in streams
I'm left here broken and ashamed

Goin' under
Hear the thunder
Death defying grace
Your condition breeds ammuntion
Shoots me in the face
Vicious talkin'
Stabs me like a knife
Scratched and bruised, so abused
I'm a human sacrifice

Oh no you're so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child

Runnin' With The Devil
-Van Halen
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm living at a pace that kills

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waiting at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

You know I, I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waiting at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

<center> Devil Inside - INXS

Here come the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
Other half die
Here come the man
With the look in his eye
Fed on nothing
But full of pride
Look at them go
Look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside

Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces
Listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell</center>

<center> L.a. Guns - Ballad Of Jayne

She was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know how much I loved ya so

Chorus
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne

U were always on my mind
A childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let u go
Hear me now cause I want ya to know

Chorus

Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shining bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still thing of u in the night
Well I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so

Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll

Says I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or just
Try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
She knows
They all want her to go
But thats O.K.
She dont like them anyway
Jane says
She's goin away to spain
When she gets my money saved
She's gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

She gets mad
Starts to cry
She takes a swing but
She cant hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at 8:00
She walk up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
She's never been in love
No, she don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing man
She cant hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just dont know
What else to do about it

Wouldn't turn around and break it
and anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it

You're waiting for Jimmy down in the alley
Waiting there for him to come back home
Waiting down on the corner
And thinking of ways to get back home

Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's ever been lonely

One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces:
Ben Folds Five

September '75 I was 47
inches high
Mom said someday I would have
A badass mother G.I. Joe
for your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class

Now I'm big and important
one angry dwarf
and 200 solemn face
are you
If you want to see me
check your papers and your T.V.
Look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss ass my ass good-bye

Don't give me that bullshit
you know who I am
I'm your nightmare little man
Vic you stole my lunch money.
made me cry.
Jane remember second grade
Said you couldn't stand my face
Rather than kiss me you said
you'd rather die

You'll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn't push me around
Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I'm big
Yes you will be sorry

The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair

Was dazzled by her smile while I shopped there

It wasn't long before I lived with her

I sang her songs while she dyed my hair

Jane, divided, but I can't decide which side I'm on

Jane decided only cowards stay, while traitors run

Jane, Jane

I'd bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh

She thought that I was making fun of her

She made me feel I was fourteen again

That's why she thinks it's cooler if we'd just stay friends

Jane doesn't think a man could ever be faithful

Jane isn't giving me a chance to be shameful

Jane, Jane

I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday

That life could be better by being together

Is what I cannot explain to Jane

The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair

Still dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there

No promises as vague as Heaven

No Juliana next to my Evan

Jane, desired by the people at her school and work

Jane is tired 'cause every man becomes a lovesick jerk

roll up a spliff and drowse the day away
with marihuana inna your brain
i'm knocking on your door

you're stoned (so stoned)

fluffy clouds are passing by
so stoned (so stoned)
strange weeds a flutter in your mind
worn out jeans are showing your behind
spake cake out with a bit of whipped cream
herbal tea and patchouli
marihuana inna your brain....
Franky boy lie in the grass with me
moon over Woodstock underneath the tree
just blow (just blow)
shockheaded yogi meditate all day
flowerchild chase the war away
just blow (just blow)
revolution make your mind flow free
peace and freedom in a love community
psychadelic posters on your wall
Jimmy, Janice, yes you knew them all
marijuana inna your brain....
one lazy summer at a festival
in open air, not at a concerthall
no way (no way)
a spacey mushroom landed in your mouth
you couldn't tell the north from the south
no way (no way)
a Hare Krishna member stole your car
right after you made love under a star
a junkie robbed you with a silver spoon
the golden sixties was a time of doom

<center>MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE - TOM PETTY

She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night

Well she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'" ...on, keep movin' on

Chorus:
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Tired of this town again

Well I don't know but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwing up, I'm tired of bein' down
I'm tire of myself, I'm tired of this town
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Honey put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long

Repeat chorus:

There's pidgeons down in Market Square
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
Nightfall will be comin' soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
You've got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit the last number, I walked to the road

Repeat chorus and fade:

I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance-ûl hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'
Lovin'might be a mistake but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin'out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance-ûl hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance-ûl hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years
have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance-ûl hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance-ûl hope you dance

The Dance
-Garth Brooks

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
