DADDY DON'T LIVE IN THAT NEW YORK CITY NO MORE

Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more
He don't celebrate Sunday on a Saturday night
No more
Daddy don't need no lock and key
For the piece he stowed
Out on Avenue D
Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more
Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado
No more
He don't travel on down to the neighborhood
Liquor store
Lucy still loves her coke and rum
But she sits alone
'Cause her daddy can't come
Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado
No more

Driving like a fool out to Hackensack
Drinking his dinner from a paper sack
He says I gotta see a joker
And I'll be right back

Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more
He can't get tight every night
Pass out on the barroom floor
Daddy can't get no fine cigar
But we know you're smoking
Wherever you are
Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more

1. Hmmmm-

no static. No static at all.

[EC]

2. Drink Scotch whiskey all night long

I'll learn to work the saxaphone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
And I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

4. hard to pick one set of lines

the weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge I don't understand.

very old one, but still very witty.

3. Bodhisattva - won't you take me by the hand?

Bodhisattva - won't you take me by the hand?
And I'll be there
To shine in your Japan
To sparkle in your China
Won't you show me
Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva

6. If I had my way . . . I would move . . . to another lifetime . . .

Diggin' the Dan!

I'm on the job, and despising every minute of it. So for me, it's . . .

ANY WORLD (THAT I'M WELCOME TO)

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime
I'd quit my job
Ride the train through the misty nighttime
I'll be ready when my feet touch ground
Wherever I come down
And if the folks will have me
Then they'll have me
CHORUS:
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from

I can hear your words
When you speak of what you are and have seen
I can see your hand
Reaching out through a shining daydream
Where the days and nights are not the same
Captured happy in a picture frame
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there

CHORUS

I got this thing inside me
That's got to find a place to hide me
I only know I must obey
This feeling I can't explain away

I think I'll go to the park
Watch the children playing
Perhaps I'll find in my head
What my heart is saying
A vision of a child returning
A kingdom where the sky is burning
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there

CHORUS

[redqueen]

7. Yay!

Children we have it right here
It's the light in my eyes
It's perfection and grace
It's the smile on my face

[Itascapark]

8. OK!

[Richardo]

9. I am holding the mystical steeeeeone....it's direct from Lhasa

People are rollin' in the snow...
Far from the world we know.
