Here is one of my favorites. I use to go out to the bars in Deep Ellum in Dallas and sing this all time.

Screw you, we’re from Texas By Ray Wylie Hubbard


got on my cowboy boots, jeans and Hawaiian shirt, mirrored sunglasses and a mobile phone
I guess I look like some Port Aransas dope dealer that’s out on bail just trying to get home
Well I ain’t in jail and I got a guitar, got a little band that’s hotter than a rocket
Sometimes we’re sloppy, we’re always loud, tonight we’re just ornery and locked in the pocket

So screw you, we’re from Texas
So screw you, we’re from Texas
So screw you, we’re from Texas
We’re from Texas baby, so screw you!

Now I love the USA and the other states they’re OK
Texas is the place I wanna be and I don’t care if I ever go to Delaware anyway
’ Cause we got Stubbs, Gruene Hall and Antones, and John T’s Country Store
We’ve got Willie and Jacky Jack, Robert Earl, Pat, Cory, Charlie and me and so many more.

So screw you, we’re from Texas
So screw you, we’re from Texas
So screw you, we’re from Texas
We’re from Texas, so screw you!

Now Texas has gotten a bad reputation, cause of what happened in Dallas and Waco
Our corporations well they are corrupt and our politicians are swindlers and loco
But when it comes to music my friend, these words are as true as St. John the Revelators
Our Mr. Vaughan was the best there ever was and no band was cooler than the 13th Floor Elevators.

So screw you, we’re from Texas
So screw you, we’re from Texas
So screw you, we’re from Texas
We’re from Texas, so screw you!

Here is A-HA with Hunting High & Low. One of my very favourite songs.

I'M NO ANGEL By Greg Allman

No I'm no angel...
No I'm no stranger to the street...
I've got my label...
so I won't crumble at your feet...
And I know baby...
So I've got scars upon my cheek...
And I'm not crazy...
Come on love me baby...
So you find me hard to handle well I'm easier to hold...
So ya make my spurs a jinglin'...
I'll never leave ya cold...
So I might steal your diamonds...
I'll bring ya back some gold...

I'm no Angel...
No I'm no Angel...
No I'm no stranger to the dark...
Let me rock your cradle...
Let me start a fire with your spark...
Come on baby...
Come on and let me show you my tattoo...
Let me drive ya crazy...
Come on let me love ya baby...
So you don't care a darn about me...
I'll never treat ya bad...
I'll never lift a hand to hurt you...
Oh, I'll leave ya glad...
So I might steal your diamonds and bring ya back some gold...
I'm no Angel...

No, I'm no Angel...
No, I'm no stranger to the dark...
Let me rock your cradle...
Let me start a fire in your heart...
Oh come on baby...
Come and let me show you my tattoo...
Let me drive you crazy...

one of my favourite groups EVER were the jam here is my favourite tune from them ...and i played this last night too

STRANGE TOWN

Found myself in a strange town
Though I've only been here for three weeks now
I've got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in Oxford Street
I bought an A to Z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and YMCAs
But when you ask in a strange town
They say don't know, don't care
And I've got to go, mate

They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know
I'm really a spaceman from those UFOs

You've got to move in a straight line
You've got to walk and talk in four four time
You can't be weird in a strange town
You'll be betrayed by your accent and manners

You've got to wear the right clothes
Be careful not to pick or scratch your nose
You can't be nice in a strange town
'Cause we don't know, don't care
And we got to go, man

Rush my money to the record shops
I stop off in a back street
Buy myself a snort
We got our own manifesto
Be kind to queers
And I'm so glad the revolution's here
It's nice and warm now!

I've finished with clubs where the music's loud
'Cause I don't see a face in a single crowd
There's no one there
I look in the mirror
But I can't be seen
Just a thin, clean layer of Mister Sheen
Looking back at me
Oh, oh

Found myself in a strange town
Though I've only been here for three weeks now
I've got blisters on my feet
Trying find a friend in Oxford Street

I bought an A to Z guide book
Trying to find the clubs and YMCAs
They say don't know, don't care
And I've got to go, mate

They worry themselves about feeling low
They worry themselves about the dreadful snow
They all ignore me 'cause they don't know
I'm really a spaceman from those UFOs

Strange town

Break it up
Burn it down, shake it up
Break it up

Jethro Tull - Life is a long song

When you’re falling awake and you take stock of the new day,
And you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say,
Well, don’t you fret, don’t you fear,
I will give you good cheer.

Life’s a long song.
Life’s a long song.
Life’s a long song.

If you wait then your plate I will fill.

As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day,
And the twelve o’clock gloom spins the room,
You struggle on your way.
Well, don’t you sigh, don’t you cry,
Lick the dust from your eye.

Life’s a long song.
Life’s a long song.
Life’s a long song.

We will meet in the sweet light of dawn.

As the baker street train spills your pain all over your new dress,
And the symphony sounds underground put you under duress,
Well don’t you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel.

Life’s a long song.
Life’s a long song.
Life’s a long song.

But the tune ends too soon for us all.

It Was There...Now It's Gone
You think you can
Depend on tails.
You don't expect tails
To go wrong.
The last time I looked
It was right there.
Now when I look there,
It's gone.

It was always
Just behind me,
Always tagging along.
A little something
at the back...
I thought it was there,
And it's gone.

I assumed it was
Attached to me,
That it actually
Hung true.
I'd hoped it was stuck
Very firmly on.
Maybe we needed
Some glue.

It used to trail
Right behind me,
Always tailing along.
My little extra
At the back...
I thought it was there,
Now it's gone.
Eeyore

for all you girls here from me

Anytime you need a friend

If you're lonely
And need a friend
And troubles seem like
They never end
Just remember to keep the faith
And love will be there to light the way

Anytime you need a friend
I will be here
You'll never be alone again
So don't you fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
Love will make it alright

When the shadows are closing in
And your spirit diminishing
Just remember you're not alone
And love will be there
To guide you home

Anytime you need a friend
I will be here
You'll never be alone again
So don't you fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
Love will make it alright

If you just believe in me
I will love you endlessly
Take my hand
Take me into your heart
I'll be there forever baby
I won't let go
I'll never let go

Anytime you need a friend
I will be here
You'll never be alone again
So don't you fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
It's alright
It's alright

I love this german band

This song has a bit of irony in it too for me !! and could be me talkin to him about my life

Father & son

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not...

How can I try to explain?
When I doit turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go...

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down
and take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy

All the times, that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it

If they were right, I'd agree
But it's them, they know
Not me that I have to go away
I know, I have to go.
