Which leaves me here in Atlanta to
Since it is Friday, it’s time to see what Random Madness the iPod d’Elisson is spewing forth. And this time, I’ll tease you with a few (excerpted) lyrics. Lessee...
- House Where Nobody Lives - Tom Waits
There’s a house on my block
That’s abandoned and cold
Folks moved out of it a
Long time ago
And they took all their things
And they never came back
Looks like it’s haunted
With the windows all cracked
And everyone call it
The house, the house where
Nobody lives
Once it held laughter
Once it held dreams
Did they throw it away
Did they know what it means
Did someone’s heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong... - Uf Dem Anger - Were Diu Werlt Alle Min - Christian Thielemann, Orff: Carmina Burana
Were diu werlt alle min
von deme mere unze an den Rin,
des wolt ih mih darben,
daz diu chunegin von Engellant
lege an minen armen. - Cabin Essence - Brian Wilson
Light the lamp and fire mellow,
Cabin essence timely hello,
Welcomes the time for a change.
Lost and found, you still remain there.
You’ll find a meadow filled with grain there.
I’ll give you a home on the range... - Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - Ben Folds Five
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’
So I just did me some talkin’ to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin’ on the job
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’
But there’s one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won’t defeat me
It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me... - Junco Partner - Professor Longhair
Oh, down the road came a poor little Junco
Boys, he was loaded as can be
The poor man was knocked out, knocked out and loaded
And he was wobblin’ all over the street
I heard him singing 6 months was no sentence
He said one year was not no time
He said he had friends still in Angola
Serving from 14 to 99... - Poor Thing - Stephen Sondheim, Sweeney Todd Original Broadway Cast
There was a barber and his wife.
And he was beautiful...
A proper artist with a knife,
but they transported him for life.
And he was beautiful...
(spoken)
Barker his name was.
Benjamin Barker... - Oy Chanukah, Oy Chanukah - The Klezmer Conservatory Band
Oy Chanukah, Oy Chanukah
A Yom Tov a shayner
A lustikher, a freylekher
Nitav nukh asayner... - Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi - Christian Thielemann, Orff: Carmina Burana
O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris... - All Along The Watchtower - Dave Mason
“There must be some way out of here,” said the joker to the thief,
“There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth...” - The Gulag Orkester - Beirut
