Weak-end thread June 4-6.


Recommended Posts

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,

Think I see my friends coming,

Riding a many mile.

Friends, did you get a little silver?

Did you get a little gold?

What did you bring me, my dear friends,

To keep me from the Gallows Pole?

What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

 

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,

You know that we're too damn poor

To keep you from the Gallows Pole.

 

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,

I think I see my brother coming,

Riding a many mile.

Brother, did you get me some silver?

Did you get a little gold?

What did you bring me, my brother,

To keep me from the Gallows Pole?

 

Brother, I brought you some silver,

I brought a little gold,

I brought a little of ev'ry thing

To keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

 

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,

I think I see my sister coming,

Riding a many mile, mile, mile, mile, mile.

Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,

Take him to some shady bower,

Save me from the wrath of this man,

Please take him,

Save me from the wrath of this man, man.

 

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,

Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,

Ride for many mile, mile, mile.

 

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister,

She warmed my blood from cold,

Brought my face to boiling hot

To keep you from the Gallows Pole,

Your brother brought me silver,

Your sister warmed my soul,

But now I laugh and pull so hard

And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole

Doors - The Wasp Corrected the rueful/ ruthfull typo.

 

 

I wanna tell you ?bout texas radio and the big beat

Comes out of the virginia swamps

Cool and slow with plenty of precision

With a back beat narrow and hard to master

 

Some call it heavenly in it?s brilliance

Others, mean and rueful of the western dream

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft

We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping

This is the land where the pharaoh died

 

 

The negroes in the forest brightly feathered

They are saying, "forget the night

Live with us in forests of azure

Out here on the perimeter there are no stars

Out here we is stoned - immaculate."

 

 

Listen to this, and I?ll tell you ?bout the heartache

I?ll tell you ?bout the heartache and the lose of god

I?ll tell you ?bout the hopeless night

The meager food for souls forgot

I?ll tell you ?bout the maiden with rought iron soul

 

 

I?ll tell you this

No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

 

 

I?ll tell you ?bout texas radio and the big beat

Soft drivin?, slow and mad, like some new language

 

 

Now, listen to this, and I?ll tell you ?bout the texas

I?ll tell you ?bout the texas radio

I?ll tell you ?bout the hopeless night

Wandering the western dream

Tell you ?bout the maiden with rought iron soul

For Captain's log U2/ Bullet the blue sky.

 

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain

See it driving nails

Into the souls on the tree of pain

From the firefly, a red orange glow

See the face of fear

Running scared in the valley below

 

 

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue

Bullet the blue

 

 

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum

Jacob wrestled the angel

And the angel was overcome

You plant a demon seed

You raise a flower of fire

See them burning crosses

See the flames higher and higher

 

 

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue

Bullet the blue

 

 

This guy comes up to me

His face red like a rose on a thorn bush

Like all the colors of a royal flush

And he's peeling off those dollar bills

Slapping them down

One hundred, two hundred

And I can see those fighter planes

And I can see those fighter planes

Across the mud huts where the children sleep

Through the alleys of a quiet city street

You take the staircase to the first floor

Turn the key and slowly unlock the door

As a man breathes into a saxophone

And through the walls you hear the city groan

Outside is America

Outside is America

 

 

Across the field you see the sky ripped open

See the rain through a gaping wound

Pounding on the women and children

Who run

Into the arms

Of America

Re all those job cuts: I just brought in the mail. I've never before actually gotten a real chain letter from a total stranger asking me to send money. This particular one is filled with testimonials supposedly from laid-off workers who used the chain letter to get out of debt. Anecdotally that just seems to confirm to me how desperate things are getting for some.

One astrologer had predicted that Bush would not participate in

the coming election but not due to death.

I will see if I can still find it.

 

Interesting to compare the different viewpoints. :o
