Heres one for starters, " I spent doing time for some other fuckers crime", or " Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye "

Some folks would be happy
just to have one dream come true
but everything you gather
is just more that you can lose


--------------------
After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus

What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O
What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O
What would your mother think when she hears the guineas clink (1)
And saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-O

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
If ever I return, all your cities I will burn
Destroy all the ladies in the area-O

Come stepping down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come stepping down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
Come stepping down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair
And bid a last farewell to young Willie-O

Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
Sweet William he is dead, and he died for a maid
And buried in the Louisiana country-O




Happy birthday Chinadoll.

Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up to heaven

A broken angel sings

In the end there's just a song
comes crying like the wind
through all the broken dreams
and vanished years

One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you're moving much too slow.

I see your silver shining town, but I know I can't go there --
Your streets run deep with poisoned wine, your doorways crawl with fear.

To answer this thread i pulled out my copy of Robert Hunters Box of Rain. I figured I thumb through it till I found a lyric that ment alot to me. Wasn't long till I realized every fucking word in that book had a very deep meaning to me.

Inspiration, move me brightly
Light the song with sense and color
hold away despair
More than this I will not ask
faced with history's dark and vast
statements just seem vain at last
some rise
some fall
some climb
to get to terrapin!! :heart:

I AGREE MY FRIEND!

Now what's to be found by racing around,
you carry your pain wherever you go,
Full of blues, and tryin' to lose,
You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know.

I like your avatar, mattx.  I like "I will get by.  I will survive."  It's simple, but it always reassures me when I hear it over and over in Touch Of Grey

There's a few that I am fond of.

"I sat down to my supper
T'was a bottle of red whiskey
I said my prayers and went to bed
That's the last they saw of me"

And

"Hello baby, I'm gone, goodbye
Half a cup of rock and rye
Farewell to you old southern sky
I'm on my way - on my way"

as it goes into the solo it makes me rock out so hard I have to punch myself in the face everytime I hear it.

Well, I ain't always right but I've never been wrong.
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

that whole song is sooo F'in sweet


"Comes a Time"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing;

Comes a time
when the blind man takes your hand
says: don't you see?
got to make it somehow
on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up
you've got an empty cup
only love can fill
only love can fill

Been walking all morning
Went walking all night
I can't see much difference between the dark and the light
And I feel the wind
And I taste the rain
Never in my mind
to cause so much pain


Comes a time
when the blind man
takes your hand
says: don't you see?
got to make it somehow
on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up
you've got an empty cup
only love can fill
only love can fill


From day to day
just letting it ride
you get so far away
from how it feels inside
You can't let go
cause you're afraid to fall
till the day may come
when you can't feel at all


Comes a time
when the blind man
takes your hand
says: don't you see?
got to make it somehow
on the things you still believe
Don't give it up
you've got an empty cup
only love can fill
only love can fill


[The following verse was sung in performance at least once, according to Brett Heisler, at the Harding Theater on 11/7/71:]

When the words come out like an angry stream
You hear yourself say things you could never mean
[original line is: When you cool down you find your mind]
sung as When the heat goes down and you find your mind]
You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Comes a Time"
Hunter has posted the manuscript of an early draft of the song in his archives.
Recorded on

Reflections
Hundred Year Hall
First performance: October 19, 1971, at Northrop Auditorium, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Comes a Time" appeared in the first set, following the first ever "Mexicali Blues," and preceding "Playing In the Band." Other firsts in the show, which was Keith Godchaux's first, were "Tennessee Jed," "Jack Straw," "One More Saturday Night," and "Ramble On Rose." The song never made it into a permanent rotation, but reappeared periodically over the years.

All a friend can say is ain?t it a shame?

I think I have a version where they go 'fuckin shame'. I will have to listen carefully next time.

Maybe one of your Deadbase heads can clarify that for me.

You Bastard!!

How the hell am I supposed to pick one, and I am not going to be like ripple and post a bunch. Although, I know its sooo tempting. But I will post one that sums up the feelings I am having at the moment and hasn't been posted yet.

"Tell me the cost
I can pay
Let me go
Tell me love is not lost
Sell everything
Without love, day to day,
insanity is king"

Its from Help on the Way. There is a long Story behind it but my girlfriend has been IP at a psych hospital for an Eating Disorder, she'll be there probably another six or so, and its hard. I love her to no end, and the ED takes away the person I've been feeling like a stranger, and well no love.

The next verse kinda sums up this feeling

I will pay
day by day
anyway
Lock, bolt and key
Crippled but free
I was blind
all the time
I was learning to see

We are taking a break, and I have felt insane lately but I'm settling down, and coming to my senses. I think she needs to just take her time, and get healthy and when she comes back home to the apartment and than maybe I can sing the next verse:

Help on the way
I know only this
I've got you today
Don't fly away
'cause I love what I love
and I want it that way


AH hell, I posted more than one verse would you look at that. Damn! Forgive me, some of dead songs can just take on my life and give me hope where there wasn't any before. I related simular feelings I have in terrapin station about a week ago!

Also, my sig has one of my favorite dead lyrics: especialy for those acid filled days! <3


--------------------

Calico Kahlia come tell me the news
Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her
Rosy red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe

Say you'll come back when you can
Whenever your airplane happens to land
Maybe I'll be back here too
It all depends on what's with you

Saw my baby down by the river
Knew she'd half 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
Rollin in the rushes down by the riverside

Paradise waits
on the crest of a wave
her angels in flame
She has no pain
Like a child, she is pure
She is not to blame

Poised for flight
Wings spread bright
Spring from night
into the sun
Don't stop to run
She can fly like a lie
She cannot be outdone


Tell me the cost
I can pay
Let me go
Tell me love is not lost
Sell everything
Without love, day to day,
insanity is king


I will pay
day by day
anyway
Lock, bolt and key
Crippled but free
I was blind
all the time
I was learning to see


Help on the way
I know only this
I've got you today
Don't fly away
'cause I love what I love
and I want it that way


I will stay
one more day
Like I say
Honey, it's you
Without love in the dream
It will never come true

Arabian wind, The needle's eye is thin, The ships of state sail on mirage,
And drown in sand, Out in no-man's land where Allah does command.

What good is spilling blood? It will not grow a thing;
Taste eternity the swords sing: Blues of Allah In 'sh'Allah.

They lie where they fall, There's nothing more to say,
The desert stars are bright tonight lets meet as friends,
The Flower of Islam, The Fruit of Abraham.

The thousand stories have come round to one again,
Arabian night, Our Gods pursue their fight,
What fatal flowers of darkness spring from seeds of light.

Bird of paradise fly in white sky, Blues for Allah In 'sh'Allah,
Let's see with our heart, These things our eyes have seen,
And know the truth must still lie somewhere in between.

Under eternity, under eternity, under eternity blue,
Bird of paradise fly in white sky, Blues for Allah In 'sh'Allah.


Blues for Allah---check the version from "One from the Vault" amazing stuff!!

Julie catch a rabbit by his tail
Come back steppin' like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And don't you run off no more.

Don't hang your head, let the two time roll
Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
Ask the time baby I don't know
Come back later, gonna let it show.

I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

Here's a half dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air,
Look at Julie down below,
The levee doin' the do-pas-o.

I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

Broken heart don't feel so bad,
You ain't got half of what you thought you had.
Rock you baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow.

I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

That's the way it's been in town,
Ever since they tore the jukebox down.
Two bit piece don't buy no more,
Not so much as it done before.

I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there I don't know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

Pride of Cucamonga is a great one!
Out on the edge of the empty highway
Howling at the blood on the moon
Big diesel Mack rolling down my way
Can't hit that border too soon

Running hard out of Muskrat Flats
It was sixty days or double life
Hail at my back like a shotgun blast
High wind chimes in the night

Oh, oh, pride of Cucamonga
Oh, oh, bitter olives in the sun
Oh, oh, I had me some loving
And I done some time

Since I came down from Oregon
There's a lesson or two I've learned
By standing in the road alone
Standing watching the fires burn

The northern sky it stinks with greed
You can smell it for miles around
Good old boys in the Greystone Hotel
Sitting doing that git-on-down

Oh, oh, pride of Cucamonga
Oh, oh, silver apples in the sun
Oh, oh, I had me some loving
And I done some time

I see your silver shining town
But I know I can't go there
Your streets run deep with poisoned wine
Your doorways crawl with fear

So I think I'll drift for old where it's at
Where the weed grows green and fine
And wrap myself around a bush
Of that bright whoa, oh, Oaxaca vine

Yes it's me, I'm the pride of Cucamonga
I can see golden forests in the sun
Oh, oh, I had me some loving
And I done some time
And I done some time
And I done some time

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear


There are way too many to pick a favorite though. Ripple, Eyes, Other one, UJB, etc.

And then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law.
Billy Jean was waitin' when he came.
She told me he would take her, if I didn't use my gun,
I'd have no one but myself to blame.

I went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind.
I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news
Cause I shot first and killed him, Lord, he didn't even draw
And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues.

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose
When he lets a woman hold him in her hands?
He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark
Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands.

This IS truly relevant!

All the years combine, they melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end there's just a song comes cryin up the night
Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years.

I love GD, but that song always sings me back home. :shrug:
but in my defense there is a very good reason involving an amazing weeping willow and agreat friend. it sealed the deal.

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 rose.
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.

Oh my god, these are the lyrics I tried to post 2 years ago!  But it seems instead of hitting ctrl-v, I hit shift-v and wound up not posting the lyrics.  Must of been on a ton of drugs. :lol:  This is my favorite song of all time, by any band or musician on the planet.
