Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson

---

Long distance runner, what you standin there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
Your playin cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.

Long distance runner, what you standin there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
Your playin cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.

Fire On The Mountain - The Grateful Dead


From the 80's

Thought I saw your face in the fire
But it's so hard to remember
Even an inferno can cool down to an ember

Thanks Rhino. 

I am very honored, sir, but completely undeserving. 

Wow!
I am completely flattered!
Thanks, Rock!
And believe me, you are VERY worthy!
We are truly a band of brothers here on the music threads.
And I am glad to see that my disease of calling people by the wrong names is contagious!



I feel so humble with you tonight,
Just sitting in front of the fire.
See your face dancing in the flame,

I feel so humble with you tonight,
Just sitting in front of the fire.
See your face dancing in the flame

Loving Cup  --  Rolling Stones 

Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Born To Be Wild - Steppnwolf


Well, you think you're sitting pretty,
But you're sitting on a powder keg.
Well, you think you're standing steady,
But you're weak as a matchstick leg.

Well, you think you're sitting pretty,
But you're sitting on a powder keg.
Well, you think you're standing steady,
But you're weak as a matchstick leg.

Big Guns  --  Rory Gallagher  Good one packerz!

In the southern part of Texas
Near the town of San Antone
Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone
And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before
Santa Anna's guns were blazing and the cannons used to 'roar'

And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before

"Battle Of The Alamo"  by  Bud & Travis  

But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down

But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down

Sink The Bismarck  --  Johnny Horton



In and out of honky tonks from one town to the next
But anything worth loving, Lord, just too hard to forget
Everyday's another way of feeling more  the same
Looks like I'll run out of highway before I out run the rain

Ya beat me to it.

In and out of honky tonks from one town to the next
But anything worth loving, Lord, just too hard to forget
Everyday's another way of feeling more  the same
Looks like I'll run out of highway before I out run the rain

Fire And Smoke - Earl Thomas Conley

But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down

Sink The Bismark - Johnny Horton


This is from one of my favorite cult acts from the 80's. Great party music.


She makes champagne out of 7-Up and cheap wine
Like a chemist
Next to one of those insect electric chairs
Her skin gleaming blue everytime a fly died
I read in the funnies, I laughed anyway
"Someting's burning somewhere" I said
"Yeah, it's us" she says

She makes champagne out of 7-Up and cheap wine

Earth To Doris   --  Was (Not Was) 



It was a night like this forty million years ago
I lit a cigarette, picked  up a monkey skull to go
The sun was spitting fire, the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired, so I watched Miami Vice

Thanks Rhino. 

I am very honored, sir, but completely undeserving.
