 Sitting on top of the World 
#1157491 - 12/20/02 07:42 AM (21 years, 8 months ago) |

Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care,
Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air.
Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you'll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed
She comes skimmin' through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew,
She don't come and I don't follow, waits backstage while I sing to you.
Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive.
She's a summer love for spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive.
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing
I'll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me.
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes
indeed.
Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is half way down,
Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander
'round.

Uh thick cloud caught uh piper clubs tail
The match struck blue on uh railroad rail
The old puff horse was just pullin' thru
'n uh man wore uh peg leg forever
I'm on the bum where the hoboes run
The air breaks with filthy chatter
Oh I don't care there's no place there
I don't think it matters
My skin's blazin' thru
'n my clothes in tatters
'n the railroad looked
Like uh "Y" up the hill of ladders
Ohe shoe fell on the gravel
One stick poked down
Gray of age fell down on uh pair of ears
An eagle shined thru my hole watch pocket
Uh gingham girl baby girl
Passed me by in tears
Uh jack rabbit raised his folded ears
Uh beautiful sagebrush jack rabbit
'n an oriole sang like an orange
His breast full uh worms
'n his tail clawed the evenin' like uh hammer
His wings took t' air like uh bomber
'n my rain can caught me uh cup uh water
When I got into town
Odd jobs mam ah yer horse I'll fodder
I'm the round house man
I once was yer father
Uh little up the road uh wooden
Candy stripe barber pole
'n above it read uh sign "Painless Parker"
Lic-licorice twisted around under uh fly
'n uh youngster cocked 'er eye
God before me if I'm not crazy
Is my daughter
Come little one with yer little dimpled fingers
Gimme one 'n I'll buy you uh cherry phosphate
Take you down t' the foamin' brine 'n water
'n show you the wooden tits
On the Goddess with the pole out s'full sail
That tempted away yer peg legged father
I was shanghaied by uh high hat beaver moustache man
'n his pirate friend
I woke up in vomit 'n beer in uh banana bin
'n uh soft lass with brown skin
Bore me seven babies with snappin' black eyes
'n beautiful ebony skin
'n here it is I'm with you my daughter
Thirty years away can make uh seaman's eyes
Uh round house man's eyes flow out water
Salt water
(Orange Claw Hammer, Captain Beefheart)

Sitting on Top of The World
by Chester Burnett as performed by Cream
One summer day, she went away
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay.
She's gone, but I don't worry,
Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.
All last summer, worked on this farm
Had to take Christmas in my overalls.
She's gone, gone, but I don't worry, no
Cause I'm sittin', sittin' on top of the world.
Going down to the freight yard, yeh, yeh, yeh
Gonna catch me a freight train.
Gonna leave this town, yeh, yeh, yeh
Work done got to hard.
She's gone, but I don't worry,
Cause I'm sittin', I'm sittin'on top of the world.

Stagger Lee
1948, Xmas eve, with a full moon over town
Stagger Lee shot Billy DeLions
And he blew that poor boy down.
Do you know what he shot him for?
What do you make of that?
Cause Billy DeLions threw the lucky dice
Won Stagger Lee's Stetson hat.
Bayo, Bayo, tell me how can this be?
You arrest the girls for turning tricks
But you're scared of Stagger Lee.
Stagger Lee is a madman and he shot my Billy D.
Bayo go get him or give the job to me.
Delia DeLions, dear sweet Delia-D
How the hell can I arrest him? He's twice as big as me.
Well don't ask me to go downtown, I won't come back alive [no more].
Not only is that mother big but he packs a .45 [four].
Bayo, Delia said, just give me a gun
he shot my Billy dead now I'm gonna see him hung.
She went into the DeLion's club through Billy DeLions blood
Stepped up to Stagger Lee at the bar,
Said, "Buy me a gin fizz, love."
As Stagger Lee lit a cigarette she shot him in the balls
Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall
Bayo, Bayo, see you hang him high
He shot my Billy dead and now he's got to die.
Delia went a walking down on Singapore Street
A three-piece band on the corner played "Near My God to Thee"
But Delia whistled a different tune, what tune could it be?
The song that woman sung was "Look Out Stagger Lee".
The song that Delia sung was "Look Out Stagger Lee".

Sitting on Top of the World
Mississippi River so big and wide, blond haired woman on the other side.
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
I worked all summer, spring and fall, blond haired woman the cause of it all.
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
I saw her in Dallas and El Paso. Said come back baby, I need you so.
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
Mississippi River so big and wide, blond haired woman on the other side.
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world.

Pressed Rat And Warthog
by Ginger Baker and Mike Taylor (Cream again...)
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.
Sadly they left, telling no one goodbye.
Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie.
Between them, they carried a three-legged sack,
Went straight round the corner and never came back.
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
The bad captain madman had told them to stop
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.
The bad captain madman had ordered their fate.
He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate.
The gate turned into a deroga tree
And his pegleg got woodworm and broke into three.
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly
World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
Alvin Lee

Great Song! I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks! 
White Room
by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown (Yet Another Cream Song - YaCS 3.0)
In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

Shine
by Lil Wayne ft. the Hot Boys.
Wha', wha', wha', wha', wha'
What', wha', wha', wha', wha'
Cash Money Millionaires
So take it there. . .
Yellow Viper, yellow Hummer, yellow Benz
Yellow PT Cruiser, yellow 'Lac on rims
Drop yellow 'Vette and a platinum Rolls-Royce
That's seven different cars- everyday I got a choice
On my way to pick up Joyce, she be makin' me moist
Givin' me head while she hummin', she can play with her voice
And she got nice thighs, a big pump ass
She could ride a dick too, make me cum fast
I like them modelin' bitches, I love them swallowin' bitches
Where them hoes? There they at
I'm 'bout to follow them bitches
I know you with your folks but that nigga is broke
You might as well open your legs up and let a nigga poke
I'ma show you what it is not to be a window shopper
Mama, you can have Fendi, mama, you can have Prada
All you gotta do is break a nigga off propuh
You can be with your man, I ain't tryin' ta stop ya
Shine- From my head down to my shoes
Shine- Skrrrrrrtttt on twenty-two's
Shine- Check my babymama
Shine- Pimp Rovers, not Hondas
Shine- I'ma spend it 'til it's gone
Shine- Don't know when I'm comin home
Shine- Pop X and drink Cris'
Shine- My life is the shit
It be me, fire Wayne, ice and change
You can catch me in an aqua Range, smashin' thangs
With them twenty-two inch chopper blades
Diamond face, diamond brace
More colors than the game Simon Says
Go, behind me
And mama on forty-fifth she told me, "I'm a lez"
And she ain't like too much of dick
But yet she promised head and so I took it anyway
But, bitch, I got family, get your pussy anyway
Okay, let's talk about this ice that I'm carryin'
All these karats like I'm a fuckin vegetarian
Niggas play, I bury them, ya'll already knowin'
I threw up my arm and bitches thought it started snowin'
See, I'ma keep it goin', Big Tymin', ya heard me?
Dawg, I got cake like everyday my birfday
Wait, I don't think they heard me
I say, dawg, I got cake like everyday my birthday
Shine- From my head down to my shoes
Shine- Skrrrrrrtttt on twenty-two's
Shine- Check my babymama
Shine- Pimp Rovers, not Hondas
Shine- I'ma spend it 'til it's gone
Shine- Don't know when I'm comin home
Shine- Pop X and drink Cris'
Shine- My life is the shit
I'ma Hot Boy- that's namebrand and top of the line
Ride fly daily, all year 'round I shine
Ain't a nigga and they mama gonna stop me, dawg
Come through on dub-deuces, they jock me, dawg
Glock cocked for haters tryin' ta block me, dawg
Catch 'em so low, they greasy, don't shock me, dawg
Well, get the fuck- slide on out the way
And let BG ease down the shinin' linen
Let the diamonds and the jewellery light shit up
Each piece of jewellery I own, I ice it up
You don't want to put your vehicle next to us
'Cause all of our vehicles, we dress 'em up
With television, Dreamcast, DVD's
Nice sounds, buttons, it's twenties
I'm a Cash Money, Hot Boy, Big Tymer, nigga
That'll hold a pinky finger up and blind you, nigga
Shine- From my head down to my shoes
Shine- Skrrrrrrtttt on twenty-two's
Shine- Check my babymama
Shine- Pimp Rovers, not Hondas
Shine- I'ma spend it 'til it's gone
Shine- Don't know when I'm comin home
Shine- Pop X and drink Cris'
Shine- My life is the shit
I'ma stunt 'til I die, so you better respeck it
'Cause whoever try tessin' is gonna be ressin'
I'm a young millionaire, Hot Boy, nigga
Bling-blingin' everyday- plus I got work
Nigga like me stay in the cut twenty-four-seven
Steady stackin my ends on dubs twenty-four-seven
Every car you wish you had- we got it, we got it
Bentleys, Hummers and Jags, big bodies, big bodies
Love to floss, no secret we stunnas
Niggas steady baller block, can't take nothin' from us
Young nigga, livin' a life surrounded by ice
Hoes be like, Damn, them boys, they're nothin' nicee
They on fire- that must be them Hot Boys
You motherfuckin' right- you think this not, girl?
Better think twice and get it right, dawg
Know you recognize, we got it on lock for all.
Shine- From my head down to my shoes
Shine- Skrrrrrrtttt on twenty-two's
Shine- Check my babymama
Shine- Pimp Rovers, not Hondas
Shine- I'ma spend it 'til it's gone
Shine- Don't know when I'm comin home
Shine- Pop X and drink Cris'
Shine- My life is the shit
Uh-uhhh-uhh
Uh-oh
Two thousand and one. . . my life is the shit- know why?
I'm representing, I'ma spit it
As long as they make that shit- I'ma break that shit
Ya heard me? It's like that- believe that
This year- fuck it - I said it before and I meant it
I'm buying me a city!
New Mannie, Louisianie, ya biotch.

Almost Cut My Hair
Almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
It's getting? kinda long, I coulda said it wasn't in my way.
But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly,
cause I feel like I owe it to someone.
Must be because I had the flu' for Christmas and I'm not feeling up to par.
It increases my paranoia, like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car.
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear cause I missed myself this year.
I feel like I owe it to someone.
When I finally get myself together, I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather.
And I find a place inside to laugh, separate the wheat from the chaff.
I feel like I owe it to someone.

china cat sunflower by the good ole grateful dead
look for awhile at the china cat sunflower
proud walking jingle in the midnight sun
copper dome bodhi drip a silver kimono
like a crazy quilt stargown
through a dream night wind
crazy cat peekin through a lace bandana
like a one eyed cheshire
like a diamond eye jack
a leaf of all colors plays
a golden string fiddle
to a double e waterfall over my back
comic book colors on a violin river
crying leonardo words
from a silk trombone
i rang a silent bell
beneath a shower of pearls
in the eagle wing palace
of the queen chinese
--------------------
Some rise
Some fall
Some climb

yah it`s dank
robert hunter wrote it after he i.v.`d some DMT
one more of my favorites
THE ELEVEN
no more time to tell how
this is the season of what
now is the time of returning
with thought jewels polished and gleaming
now is the time of believing
the child has relinquished the riegns
now is the test of the boomerang
tossed in the night of redeeming
eight sided whispering hallelujah hatreack
seven faced marble eye transitory dream doll
six proud walkers on jingle bell rainbow
five men writing with fingers of gold

Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below.

Another Good One!
The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded,
Solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die."
All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin',
Every leaf was turnin' ; to watch him die, you know he had to die.
The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him,
And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter.
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended,
His mind remained unbended, he had to die, you know he had to die.
Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this roes.
It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes.
It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away.
But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day.
Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space,
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place.
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began,
There was cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land.
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended,
Their minds remained unbended,
He had to die, Oh, you know he had to die.

saint stephen with a rose
in and out of the garden he goes
country garland in the wind and the rain
wherever he goes the people always complain
stephen prosper in his time
well he may and he may decline
did it matter, does it now
stephen would answer if he only knew how
wishing well with a golden bell
bucket hanging clear to hell
hell halfway twixt now and then
stephen fill it up and lower down
and lower down again
lady finger dipped in moonlight
writing what for across the morning sky
sunlight splatters dawn with answers
darkness shrugs abd bids the day good by
speeding arrow ,sharp and narrow
what alot of fleeting matters you have spurned
several seasons with there treasons
wrap the babe in scarlet covers call it your own
did he doubt or did he try
answers a plenty in the by and by
talk about your plenty`s, talf about your ill`s
one man gathers what another man spills
st. stephen will remain
all he lost he shall regain
seashoe washed in the suds and the foam
been here so long he`s got to callin it home
fortune come crawling, calliope woman
spinning that courias sense of your own
can you answer, yes i can
what would be the answer to the answer man
high green chilly winds and windy vines and loopes around the twisted shafts of lavender, there crawling to the sun
underfoot the ground is patched with climbing arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the breeze
wonder who will water all the children in the garden when they sigh about the barren lack of rain and drop so hungry from the sky
william tell has stretched his bow till it won`t stretch no further more and/ or it may require a that hasn`t come before

Sitting On Top Of The World
by Cream (Wheels Of Fire)
written by Chester Burnett
In reply to:
One summer day, she went away;
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.
All the summer, worked all this fall.
Had to take Christmas in my overalls.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.
Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.
Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on top of the world.
