yet another song game.

[sluggish]

We are winners and losers, bed fellow choosers,
Put here to pass by the times.
We are space-age sailors, all had our failures,
Now everybody gonna' shine.


Keep it shinin' on.

"Shinin' On"  -Grand Funk Railroad

[AWMac]

Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
Im your captain, Im your captain,
Although Im feeling mighty sick.

~Grand Funk Railroad~ I'm Your Captain

[sluggish]

The Captain wired in he had water coming in
And the good ship and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went out of sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd fifteen more miles behind her.

They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"  -Gordon Lightfoot

[AWMac]

Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car.
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score.
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.
And the sons of pullman porters
And the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel.
Mothers with their babes asleep,
Are rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

~Arlo Guthrie~  City of New Orleans

ride captain ride, upon your mystery ship.

blues image. ride captain ride.

Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour.
Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour.
Roll up AND THAT'S AN INVITATION, roll up for the mystery tour.
Roll up TO MAKE A RESERVATION, roll up for the mystery tour.
The magical mystery tour is waiting to take you away,
Waiting to take you away.

Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles

[JB88]

Oh, roll on John, and make your time
For I'm broke, and can't make mine.

old folk song, unattributed.

[AWMac]

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home


~Beach Boys~ Sloop John B

[JB88]

home.  where my thoughts escape in
home. where my musics playing
home.  where my love lies waiting
silently for me.

s and g. - homeward bound.

[SD67]

My thoughts give me power.

Die Gedanken Sind Frei - Traditional folk song

[AWMac]

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.


~Neil Young~ Heart of Gold

[JB88]

theres a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

lz. sth.

[Blooz]

And all the gold in California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody elses name
So if you're dreaming of California
It don't natter at all where you've played before
California is a brand new game
