rock n roll lyrics as philosophy...

Lots of people talk and few of them know

THE SOUL OF A WOMAN WAS CREATED BELOW...

Probably the most profound :

Get It On
Bang a gong

Marc Bolan was an unfulfilled genius.
I believe Bowie was a big fan (and rival).

Anyone remember Bolan's last hit?

I'm going to have this one played at my funeral :

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

a bullet had found him,
his blood ran as he cried...
no money could save him,
so he laid down and he died...

unless of course he could wrangle five deferments and pretend to have sore toes...

You know just the other morning
I was hanging around in my house
I had that old book with picutres of Madonna naked
And I was checkin' it out
Just then a friend of mine came to the door
She said she never pegged me for a scumbag before
Said she didn't ever want to see me no more
And I still don't why/

I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
Well I just want to live until I gotta die
I know I ain't perfect but God knows I try
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm alright

Ain't it funny

how time slips away?

...it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

...I see that there is evil
And I know that there is good
And the in-betweens I never understood...

Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light?
Or just another lost angel, city of night
