Rockin' across America

[scandal 951]

New York, New York Frank Sinatra

Start spreading the news, Im leaving today

I want to be a part of it - new york, new york

These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep

And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away

Ill make a brand new start of it - in old new york

If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere

Its up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york

I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps

And find Im a number one top of the list, king of the hill

A number one

These little town blues, are melting away

Im gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york

And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york

Sinatra - Chicago! (My kind of town)

Now this could only happen to a guy like me

And only happen in a town like this

So may I say to each of you most gratefully

As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town, chicago is

My kind of town, chicago is

My kind of people too

People who smile at you

And each time I roam, chicago is

Calling me home, chicago is

Why I just brim like a cload

Its my kind of town

My kind of town, chicago is

My kind of town, chicago is

My kind of razzmatazz

And it has, all that jazz

And each time I leave, chicago is

Tuggin my sleeve, chicago is

The wrigley building, chicago is

The union stockyard, chicago is

One town that wont let you down

Its my kind of town

Dirty Water - The Standells

I'm gonna tell you a story

I'm gonna tell you about my town

I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby

Aww, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river

Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby)

That's where you'll find me

Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves (aw, but they're cool people)

Well I love that dirty water

Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place)

Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated)

Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame)

But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh

That just once those doors weren't locked (I like to save time for

my baby to walk around)

Well I love that dirty water

Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Because I love that dirty water

Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)

I love that dirty water (Come on, come on)

"Ohio" Neil Young

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,

We're finally on our own.

This summer I hear the drumming,

Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it

Soldiers are cutting us down

Should have been done long ago.

What if you knew her

And found her dead on the ground

How can you run when you know?

Gotta get down to it

Soldiers are cutting us down

Should have been done long ago.

What if you knew her

And found her dead on the ground

How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,

We're finally on our own.

This summer I hear the drumming,

Four dead in Ohio.

[NArocks 13]

He was born in the summer of his 27th year

Comin home to a place hed never been before

He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again

You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away

On the road and hangin by a song

But the strings already broken and he doesnt really care

It keeps changin fast and it dont last for long

But the colorado rocky mountain high

Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky

The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye

Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below

He saw everything as far as you can see

And they say he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun

And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams

Seeking grace in every step he takes

His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand

The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the colorado rocky mountain high

Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky

You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply

Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear

Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend

Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more

More people, more scars upon the land

And the colorado rocky mountain high

Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky

I know hed be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly

Rocky mountain high

Its a colorado rocky mountain high

Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky

Friends around the campfire and everybodys high

Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)

Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high do de do

Charlie Daniels, Devil Went Down to Georgia

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.

He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.

When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.

And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:

"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.

"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:

"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."

The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,

"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.

'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard.

And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.

But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

I think there should be a prize for the most cities mentioned in a song, everybody donate a dollar.

Its the second song on the video.

I don't know if you can,

but can you get an owner for Ons,

that's O-N-S,Junior Market,

the address is 1934 East Aneheim,

all the windows are busted out,

and it's like a free-for-all in here

and uh the owner should at least come

down here and see if he can secure his business,

if he wants to...

April 26th, 1992,

there was a riot on the streets,

tell me where were you?

You were sittin' home watchin' your TV,

while I was paticipatin' in some anarchy.

First spot we hit it was my liqour store.

I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford.

With red lights flashin' time to retire,

And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire.

Next stop we hit it was the music shop,

It only took one brick to make that window drop.

Finally we got our own p.a.

Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today?

Hey!

(call fire, respond mobil station.

alamidos in Anahiem,

its uhh flamin up good.

10-4 Alamidos in Anaheim)

Never doin no time

When we returned to the pad to unload everything,

It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings.

So once again we filled the van until it was full,

since that day my livin' room's been more comfortable.

Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here,

It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year.

Some kids went in a store with thier mother,

I saw her when she came out she was gettin some pampers.

They said it was for the black man,

they said it was for the mexican,

and not for the white man.

But if you look at the streets it wasn't about Rodney King,

It's bout this ###### up situation and these ###### up police.

It's about coming up and staying on top

and screamin' 187 on a mother fuckin' cop.

It's not written on the paper it's on the wall.

National guard??!

Smoke from all around,

bo! bo! bo!

to keep in the charlie daniels family

Vidoe stinks

If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son you better not go at night

There's things out there in the middle of them woods

That'd make a strong man die from fright

There's things that crawl and things that fly

And things that creep around on the ground

And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around.

CHORUS:

But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself

And I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody else

No I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself

That there's some things in this world you just can't explain.

The old man lived in the Wooly Swamp way back in the gurgling woods

And he never did do a lot of harm in the world

But he never did do no good

People didn't think too much of him

They all thought he acted funny

The old man didn't care about people anyway

All he cared about was his money.

He'd stuff it all down in Mason jars and bury it all around

But on certain nights if the moon was right

He'd dig it up out of the ground.

He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack

And run his fingers through it.

Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man

And that's all there ever was to it.

CHORUS

The Crayton boys were white trash they lived over on Parvis Creek

They were a real snake and sneaky as a cat

And belligerent when they'd speak.

One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet in the Wooly Swamp later

We'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators.

They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand

And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand.

And they all went crazy and they beat the old man

Then they picked him up off the ground

Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed

Till the black water sucked him down.

Then they turned around and went back to the shack

And they picked up the money and ran.

But they hadn't gone nowheres when they realized

They were running in quicksand.

And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away

Then just before they were gone

They could hear that old man laughing

In a voice that was loud and strong.

Now that's been fifty years ago an' if you go back by there again

There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack

Where the ground is always wet.

And on certain nights if the moon is right

And you're down by the dark footpath

You can hear three yound men screaming

And you can hear that old man laugh.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

She's not a girl who misses much

Do do do do do do, oh yeah

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand

Like a lizard on a window pane

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors

On his hobnail boots

Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy

Working overtime

A soap impression of his wife which he ate

And donated to the National Trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Down to the bits that I left uptown

I need a fix cause I'm going down
