It's A Man's Man's Man's World
James Brown
Words & Music: James Brown - B. Newsome

Notes : first record on June 6th, 1964

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, mn made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the world of man
He's lost in bitterness

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Aah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Aah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

Everybody Partys on a New Year's Eve
Waitin' for the countdown
Make alot of promises they never keep
Party with the lights on

Standing still, dressed to kill, holding a glass of champagne
Everyone having fun tryin' to get out of there brain

Everybody partys on a New Year's Eve
Party with the light's on
(Tell me what you see)Bringin' in a New Year
(Everything's alright with me)Party on New Years Eve!
(Tell me what you see) The peak of the Holiday Season
(Everythings alright with me) Bringin in the New Year

Guitar Solo

(Tell me what you see)Bringin' in a New Year

Everybody parties on a New Year's Eve

Everybody lookin at the big tv, talkin' at the same time
bongin smokes, telling jokes, standin' in the punchline
everybody parties in the new years eve gonna have a good time (X's 2)

(Tell me what you see)Bringin' in a New Year

All is quiet on New Year's Day.
A world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you, be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day.

I... will be with you again.
I... will be with you again.

Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
Say it's true, it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.

I... I will begin again
I... I will begin again.

Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Oh, maybe the time is right.
Oh, maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.

And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day

Are you breathing
What I'm breathing
Are your wishes
The same as mine

Are you needing
What I'm needing
I'm waiting for a sign

My hands tremble
My heart aches
Is it you calling
Is it you calling

If I'm alone in this
I don't think I can face
The consequences of falling

...

Are you thinking
What I'm thinking
Does your pulse
Quicken like mine

Are you dreaming
What I'm dreaming
I can't read your mind
One step towards you
Two steps back
Feels like I'm crawling
Feels like I'm crawling

If I'm alone in this
I don't think I can face
The consequences of falling

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe, and how.

Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe and how.

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
You stick around now, it may show,
I don't know, I don't know.

Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don't wanna leave her now.
You know I believe and how.

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on (hoo-hoo), feet of clay (hoo-hoo)
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You...
And I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say (hoo-hoo) what we'll find (hoo-hoo)
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You...

The morning comes with such pain but it's nothing like
The dose I get when it's night
And I can't help but wonderin' just what it is
Ain't I living my life right?
The cigarettes I'm smoking don't realize
Nor does the glass from which I drink
For how are they to know just, just what it is
To be a man about to sink?
Oh-oh-oh-no, it's not my time to go
Oh-oh-oh-no, before I go I've got to show...something
The lights keep getting dimmer, hey but what's that to me?
The morning comes with each night
A voice keeps calling my name so loud and so clear
I'll pretend I'm not here
No I can't go yet no, I've something to do
And it may take a bit more time
The time it takes to get up and walk out that door
And see the world as before.

I keep thinking of you

what can I do?

I scare myself
and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself
it can get frightenin'
I scare myself
to think what I could do
I scare myself
it's some kinda voodoo

and with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
and with that voodoo
what can I do?

but it's oh so, so, so different
when we're together
and I'm oh so so much calmer, I feel better
for the stars have crossed our paths forever
and the sooner that you realize it, the better

then I'll be with you
and I won't scare myself
and I'll know what to do
and I won't scare myself
and then I'll think of you
and I won't scare myself

Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye, let my people go
Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
He's just gonna break them in half
All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you
No one ever spoke to Noah
They all laughed at him instead
Working on his ark, working all by himself
Only Noah saw it coming
Forty days and forty nights
Took his sons and daughters with him
Yeah, they were the Israelites
All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The rain's gonna fall on you
Holy Father, what's the matter
Where have all your children gone
Sitting in the dark, living all by themselves
You don't have to hide anymore
All you zombies show your faces...

Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
and i kind of like it

I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is

Musical: Grease
Song: Beauty School Dropout

Your story's sad to tell, a teenage ne'er-do-well
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block
Your future's so unclear now,
what's left of your career now
Can't even get a trade-in on your smile

Beauty school drop-out, no graduation day for you
Beauty school drop-out, missed your midterms and flunked shampoo
Well at least you could have taken time
to wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough to have
the doctor fix your nose up

Baby get moving (better get moving),
why keep your feeble hopes alive
What are you proving (what are you proving)?
You've got the dream, but not the drive
If you go for your diploma, you could join a steno pool
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to highschool

Beauty school drop-out, hangin' around the corner store
Beauty school drop-out, it's about time you knew the score
Well they couldn't teach you anything,
you think you're such a looker
But no customer would go to you,
unless she was a hooker!

Baby don't sweat it (don't sweat it),
You're not cut out to hold the job
Better forget it (forget it),
Who wants their hair done by a slob??
Now your bangs are curled, your lashes twirled, and still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to highschool

Baby don't blow it, don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it, even Dear Abby's say the same
Now I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
Gotta be goin' to that maltshop in the sky

Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool

Cowboys Are Secretly Frequently Fond Of Each Other
Willie Nelson





Listen to the entire song:
Click here to hear "Cowboys Are Secretly Frequently Fond Of Each Other"


There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he can't comprehend.
Well small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes,
No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.

Well I believe to my soul that inside every man there's a feminine,
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women,
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
Say what did you think those saddles and boots was about?
And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother,
And inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.

Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper,
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:
When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister
You can't fuck with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
Say what did you think those saddles and boots was about?
And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother,
And inside every lady there's a cowboy who'd love to come out.
And inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.

As soon as youre born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if youre clever and they despise a fool
Till youre so fucking crazy you cant follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When theyve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you cant really function youre so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv
And you think youre so clever and classless and free
But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Theres room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

Pushin' you away each time I pull up that old bar stool.
Drownin' you in every drop I drink.
I'm tellin' you to go to hell but i'm talkin' to myself.
Cause your not around to hear what I think.
I'm tryin' to teach my heart to hate you.
But it aint workin' right
Now the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight.

(Chorus)
Lord it's more than just thirsty that I'm feelin' inside.
Cause these tears that I've been cryin' have left me bone dry.
I wished the bar tender had a cure I could buy.
But the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight.

You said that I had to choose between your love and this old bar room.
I just laughed but I guess you knew best
Who cares who's right or wrong tonight my better half is gone.
And this whiskey is laying clinged to all that's left.
So I'll just order up another
and pretend that I'm alright.
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight.

(Chorus)
Lord it's more than just thirsty that I'm feelin' inside.
Cause these tears that I've been cryin' have left me bone dry.
I wish the bar tender had a cure I could buy.
But the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight.

I sit alone in my room at night
trying to figure out how to make my life right
all this hate inside my head
and all my life i am seeing red
i tell myself there's a better way
that maybe tomorrow will bring a better day
i just need to figure it out
what is happiness all about?

[Chorus]
if society doesn't kill me -
then it will be my mind!

i look at people walking down the street
they look content, and their lives complete
maybe it's me, maybe i can't relate
and maybe misery has sealed my fate
i look at my life with a magnifying glass
i think of the future, then i look at my past
find all the demons infecting my brain
gotta kill em now before i go insane!

why don't ya take a chance on me?

why don't ya take a chance, come and take a chance on me.

you're lookin so good with your girl by your side
the world doesn't matter to you tonight ...
so let's live our lives like we're living in sin ...
... just need you to let me in
there's no need to think about anyone else
cause tonight little girl i got you all to myself
there's no need to say goodnight -
when you're lookin so outta sight ....

In an upstairs room in Blackpool
By the side of a northern sea
The army had my father
And my mother was having me
Military Madness was killing my country
Solitary Sadness comes over me

After the school was over and I moved
To the other side
I found a different country but I never
Lost my pride
Military Madness was killing the country
Solitary sadness creeps over me

And after the wars are over
And the body count is finally filed
I hope that The Man discovers
What's driving the people wild
Military madness is killing your country
So much sadness, between you and me
War, War, War, War, War, War

You are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star

You lift me up from above
Your unconditional love
Takes me to paradise

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

You make me feel so divine
Your soul and mine are entwined
Before you I was blind

But since I've opened my eyes
And with you there's no disguise
So I could open up my mind

I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out
That I had to do it everyday

So I put away the fight
Now I'm gonna live my life
Giving you the most in every way

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you

And you, you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

Oh I belong to you

And you, and you

Nat King Cole

Time and the river
Will bring my love to me
If I must, Ill wait forever
By the river that took her to the sea.
Here by the river
We loved, we laughed, we cried
But with time, my love, my darling,
Left my arms and was gone with the tides.

*How long Ive been lonely, star of love; shine bright.
I need her, oh, lead her to my arms tonight.
Time and the river,
How swiftly they go by.
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)

*How long Ive been lonely, star of love; shine bright.
I need her, oh, lead her to my arms tonight.
Time and the river,
How swiftly they go by.
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry.

The rain, the rein?
Fly, fly away home
Fly, or you'll turn to stone
Oh, you foolish pretender
Why do you remain?
Foolish pretender, oh won't you surrender

Silence of stone
Memory of shame
Fly away home

Moody Blues

Click here to hear "The Land Of Make Believe"


We're living in a land of make believe
And trying no to let it show
Maybe in that land of make believe
Heartaches can turn into joy

We're breathing in the smoke of high and low
We're taking up a lot of room
Somewhere in the dark and silent night
Our prayer will be heard
Make it soon

So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why

Open all the shutters on your windows
Unlock all the locks upon your doors
Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams
No secrets come between us anymore
Oh, say it's true
Only love can see you through
You know what love can do to you

We're living in a land of make believe
And trying no to let it show...
Maybe in that land of make believe
Heartaches can turn into joy

We're breathing in the smoke of high and low
We're taking up a lot of room
Somewhere in the dark and lonely night
Our prayer will be heard
Make it soon

So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why...

Open all the shutters on your windows
Unlock all the locks upon your doors
Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams
No secrets come between us anymore
Oh, say it's true
Only love can see you through
You know what love can do to you

"I'm ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."
Way to go Dixie Chicks!
5 Grammy Awards!

After death threats, boycotts and a cold shoulder from the country
music establishment, the Dixie Chicks gained sweet vindication Sunday night
at the 49th annual Grammy Awards, capturing honors in all five of the
categories in which they were nominated.


Not Ready TO Make Nice

Listen to the 'Not Ready To Make Nice'


Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

I'm through, with doubt,
The re's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
and i kind of like it

I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back dow n,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well I do
Hey, who's in charge here
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
Do you know what's in the water that you drink
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so
'Cause there's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there

Click here To Hear 'Money Makes The Monkey Dance'



I look around and all I see are politicians on the take
I look at me I am the same but I don't notice
And I have learned that everybody has a price tag on his head

Though it's money that will make the monkey dance
Yes it's money that will make the monkey dance
And it's money that will make the monkey dance
Yes it's money that will make the monkey, monkey, monkey dance...

On Sunday mornings when I went went to church a buck was always made
A true parade to pave the way into the glory
And 30 coins was all they paid for all the ways I should behave

Though it's money that will make the monkey dance
Yes it's money that will make the monkey dance
And it's money that will make the monkey dance
Yes it's money that will make the monkey dance

Aye, awa ko ako...

And I have paid my way through life I've kept myself so far removed
From everyone and everything that could be purchased
I will collect what I've put in my piggy bank is locked within

Though it's money that will make the monkey dance
Yes it's money that will make the monkey dance
And it's money that will make the monkey dance
Oh I want money
Give me money
So much money
Tender money
Cause it's money that will make the monkey dance
I'm the monkey, I'm the monkey
Eh marar� i...

And though my pockets have a hole I feel content within my soul
I've been sincere with all the customers encountered
I can't complain I'm rich in love and I must thank my God above

Though it's money that will make the monkey dance
Yes it's money that will make the monkey dance
And it's money that will make the monkey dance
Yes it's money that will make the monkey dance

I'll always think of you
Inside of my private thoughts
I can imagine you
Touching my private parts
With just the thought of you
I can't help but touch my self
That's why I want you so bad
Just one night of
Moonlights, with you there beside me
All night, doin' it again and again
You know I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oooh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise
You're makin me high

Can't get my mind off you
I think I might be obsessed
The very thought of you
Makes me want to get undressed
I wanna be with you
In spite of that my heart says
I guess I want you to bad
All i want is
Moonlights, with you there inside me
All night, doin it again and again
You know i want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oooh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise
You're makin me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby

I want to feel your heart and soul inside of me
Let's make a deal you roll, I lick
And we can go flying into ecstasy
Oh Darlin' you and me
Light my fire
Blow my flame
Take me, take me, take me away

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

Thats o-kay!
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains it pours
People on streets
People on streets

Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
People people on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love
But its so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure were cracking
Cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love one more chance?
Why cant we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause loves such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

Illusions in my mind
Like that picture when you feel you can't go on

Take me to that funky place where you and I were born.
Carry on, now

Bring it on

Don't wait until tomorrow
Bring it on

Bring it on
Give me something for the dream that I am in
You know I love the way you save me
A broken pawn,
I depended on.
Was only life, I was feeling
It goes on, now
Take me to that funky place where you and I were born
Carry on, now
Ain't no reason you should feel for shorn,
Unconditioned love will bring it on
Bring it on

Don't wait until tomorrow
Wait until tomorrow

So what lies under.
Is your kingdom come?

Thousand Years
From the album Brand New Day
Words by Sting, music by Sting and Kipper


A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Til you love me

why am I so shy when I'm beside you

Why should I feel the way I do
It's only love and that is all
But it's so hard loving you

Is it right that you and I should fight, every night
just the sight of you makes nighttime bright, very bright
haven't I the right to make up girl

It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do
It's only love and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you

My offer to save "The Guy James Show"

Don't let this great, passionate
Liberal voice (The Guy James Show)
dissappear!



When Mike Malloy was fired from AAR, I could not believe how
that happened. I only knew that I was prepared to help Mike & Kathy
any way I could to get them back on the air. As Guy James and
Bob Kincaid both will agree, Mike Malloy IS the king of Liberal Radio.

In my search to fill the void of Mike's message I remembered Mike
talking about this radio network called the H.O.R.N. I tracked it down
and the first show I heard was Guy James, WOW, I thought this
guy is really, really good! Suddenly, Guy James went into this
rant about how unfair and ridiculous it was for AAR to silence
and just take Mike's voice away. He didn't stop at just one mention,
Guy James was on this daily! For THAT I will remain loyal to
the Guy James show as long as I am able to breath. I also want
to say that Bob Kincaid was just as outraged over Mike's firing.
I NEVER miss a Guy James, Bob Kincaid and a Mike Malloy show.

I've become not only a loyal listener of Guy James, but a friend.
We communicate daily. Some of you may know that I offered to
help Guy out with the music on his show. Guy does everything
to keep the show on. He has no producer, he does his own show
research and show prep. There are no paid body's, including Guy.
In fact Guy James has poured his own money in the effort.
He can no longer sustain the expense.

If you listen to a NovaM show that airs at 3:00 pm, keep listening.
Or if you love Randi Rhodes, keep listening. Just do yourself a favor
and go to 'The White Rose Society" and download "The Guy James Show"
AFTER listening to NovaM or Randi.

http://www.whiterosesociety.org/

Now here's my offer!

I am looking for sixty supporters for the show. All we need
is 60 (sixty!) people to donate $10 per month. Now I'll
go even further. PayPal will only take a $10 minumum.
IF, you will commit to just $5 per month, I'll trust that
you will send the donation directly to "the Guy James Show"

Simply go to Guys website and help out.
http://www.theguyjamesshow.com/

After Guy James confirms your participation, I will produce
a Guy James Show CD. It will include Guy's intro music,
some of Guy's wonderful rants and selected songs that has
aired on the show. If will be done with crossfades to make it
flow as seemlessly as possible. There will be a nice CD cover with
the content listed on the inside. Guy will even personally
write a message to you (and sign it) to each supporter.
I will then mail it to you when you give Guy your address.

So, come on LET'S SAVE LIBERAL RADIO!

No reply
They said it wasn't you
but I saw you peep through
your window

I saw the light
I saw the light
I know that you saw me
'cause I looked up to see
your face

I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
that's a lie
'cause I know where you've been
I saw you walk in
your door

I nearly died
I nearly died
'cause you walked hand in hand
with another man
in my place

If I were you
I'd realize that I
love you more

And I'll forgive
the lies that I

There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind
Perhaps there's a thing or two
I think of lying in bed
I shouldn't have said
But there it is

You see, it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all

You see, it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning
