death tribble Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Virgil Caine is the name And I served on the Danville train 'Till Stoneman's cavalry came And tore up the tracks again In the winter of '65 We were hungry, just barely alive By May the 10th, Richmond had fell It's a time I remember, oh so well The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na" Back with my wife in Tennessee When one day she called to me Said "Virgil, quick, come see, There goes the Robert E. Lee!" Now, I don't mind chopping wood And I don't care if the money's no good You take what you need And you leave the rest But they should never Have taken the very best The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singing They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na" Like my father before me I will work the land And like my brother above me Who took a rebel stand He was just 18, proud and brave But a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a Caine back up When he's in defeat The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singing They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na" The night they drove old Dixie down And all the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, na" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armory Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Some days you dream, some days it seems There's nothing there at all. You just seem older than yesterday and you're waiting for tomorrow to call. I draw to the curtains and one thing's for certain, You're cozy in your little room. The carpet's all paid for, God bless the TV, Let's go shoot a hole in the moon. Roy Rogers is riding tonight, Returning to our silver screens. Comic book characters never grow old, Evergreen heroes whose stories are told. Oh the great sequined cowboy who sings of the plains, Of roundups, and rustlers, and home on the range. Turn on the TV, shut out the lights, Roy Rogers is riding tonight. Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings, I'd liven the pace if I could. I'd rather have ham in my sandwich than cheese But complaining wouldn't do any good. Lay back in my arm chair, close eyes and think clear, I can hear hoofbeats ahead. Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop While the wife and the kids are in bed. Oh and Roy Rogers is riding tonight, Returning to our silver screens. Comic book characters never grow old, Evergreen heroes whose stories are told. Oh the great sequined cowboy who sings of the plains, Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range Turn on the TV, shut out the lights, Roy Rogers is riding tonight.

Greywind Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar And you'll live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly, music shall caress you Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind In this darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Let your soul take you where you long to go Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the harmony which dreams alone can write The power of the music of the night You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywind Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 For your eyes only, can see me through the night. For your eyes only, I never need to hide. You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new. I never felt until I looked at you. For your eyes only, only for you. You'll see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free. For your eyes only, only for you. The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me. Only for you, only for you. For your eyes only, the nights are never cold. You really know me, that's all I need to know. Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine, But you won't need to read between the lines. For your eyes only, only for you. You see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free. For your eyes only, only for you. The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me. Only for you, for your eyes only.

Mum and dad and Danny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal It was a long march from cadets The sixth battalion was the next to tour and it was me who drew the card We did Canungra and Shoalwater before we left And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean And there's me in me slouch hat with me SLR and greens God help me I was only nineteen From Vung Tau riding Chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat I'd been in and out of choppers now for months And we made our tents a home, V.B. and pinups on the lockers And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep? And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M.16? And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means? God help me I was only nineteen A four week operation, when each step can mean your last one on two legs It was a war within yourself But you wouldn't let your mates down 'til they had you dusted off So you closed your eyes and thought about somethin' else And then someone yelled out contact, and the bloke behind me swore We hooked in there for hours, then a God almighty roar And Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon God help me He was goin' home in June And I can still see Frankie, drinkin' tinnies in the Grand Hotel On a thirty-six hour rec. leave in Vung Tau And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle 'Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel God help me I was only nineteen And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
