[AngryAmish]

2. Walk This Way

[CanuckAmok]

3. "I Ate Your Horse"

YOUR DAD TOOK OUT A SECOND MORTGAGE TO BUY YOU A HORSE
YOU LOVED IT, AND TOOK BETTER CARE FOR IT THAN YOURSELF
YOU COMMAND IT, CLEANED IT, AND FED IT APPLES EVERY DAY
I WAS BROKE, DRUNK, AND HUNGRY, SO I KILLED YOUR HORSE, AND ATE IT

I ATE YOUR HORSE
I ATE YOUR HORSE
I ATE YOUR HORSE
I ATE YOUR HORSE

WHEN YOU CAME TO THE STABLE NEXT MORNING
YOU FOUND A PILE OF HAIR, TEETH, AND HOOVES
I HID AROUND THE BACK, TO LISTEN TO YOU CRY
THEN I BEAT AN OLD LADY TO DEATH WHIT THE LEG BONE

I ATE YOUR HORSE
I ATE YOUR HORSE
I ATE YOUR HORSE
I ATE YOUR HORSE

11. Whenever I see your smiling face,

I have to smile myself
because I love yoouuuuuu, yes I do
And when you give me that pretty little pout, it turns me inside out
It's something about you baby, I don't know
Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
If it grows stronger everyday
Oh, how much longer?

I thought I was in love a couple of times before with the girl next door
But that was long before I met ya, now I'm sure that I won't forget ya
And I thank my lucky stars that you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady sent down to break my heart

Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way
Tell me how much longer, if it grows stronger everyday
How much longer?

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today

HEY...
Can anyone tell me whether it's "tell me how much longer, if it grows stronger everyday"? Because I'm reading fifty different things online. "IT can grow stronger every day." "I can grow stronger everyday." "It COULD grow..."

Also, his official site has a HOT pic of him when he was younger. Growl.

12. "Have yourself a merry little Christmas"

[northzax]

13. a littly ditty I like to call:

400 minutes of ear splitting, psychosis-inducing white noise. It's still better than "Fire and Rain"

16. Secret of Life

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
Any fool can do it, there ain't nothing to it.
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill.
But since we're on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.

The secret of love is in opening up your heart.
It's okay to feel afraid, but don't let that stand in your way.
Cause anyone knows that love is the only road.
And since we're only here for a while, might as well show some style. Give us a smile.

Isn't it a lovely ride? Sliding down, gliding down,
try not to try too hard, it's just a lovely ride.

Now the thing about time is that time isn't really real.
It's just your point of view, how does it feel for you?
Einstein said he could never understand it all.
Planets spinning through space, the smile upon your face, welcome to the human race.

Some kind of lovely ride. I'll be sliding down, I'll be gliding down.
Try not to try too hard, it's just a lovely ride.
Isn't it a lovely ride? Sliding down, gliding down,
try not to try too hard, it's just a lovely ride.
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.

Not so sure about the Jimmy Buffay part, and I'm even a Parrothead. Some things should be left be.
