Tom Strange Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 try this one on... But music was his life, it was not his livelihood, and it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good. And he sang from his heart and he sang from his soul. He did not know how well he sang; It just made him whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

This one should be easy cause I'm just going to go ahead and post the best lines in the song:
But Ive done a bit of smugglin, Ive run my share of grass
Made enough money to buy miami, but I pi$$ed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

OK... I'll take it (even though wasway got it first)... "A Pirate Looks at 40" by Jimmy Buffet...
Here's another from our youth:
If you smile at me I will understand

If you smile at me I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won?
Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them
For six or seven weeks now haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us
Aaaah ...
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us
And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go
You are correct my son...

This one should take about a minute to get
But what an anthem it was!!!
The old get old,
and the young get stronger;
may take a week,
and it may take longer.
They got the guns,
but we got the numbers.
Gonna win, yeah;
We're takin' over.
Come on!

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime
(paw flipped the switch that is my dormant memory)

All right then, I don't believe we've had one from this group yet:
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
