The Coasters "Down in Mexico"

Down in Mexicali
There's a crazy little place that I know
Where the drinks are hotter, than the chili sauce
And the boss is a cat named Joe
He wears a red bandana Plays a cool piana
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
In honky tonk, down in Mexico
Well, the first time that I saw him
He was sittin on a piano stool I said "Tell me man, when does the fun begin?"
He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."
He wears a red bandana
Plays a cool piana In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico In Mexico...
All of a sudden in walks a chick In Mexico...
Joe starts playin on a latin kick In Mexico...
Around her waist she wore three fishnets In Mexico...
She started dancin with the castanets In Mexico...
I didn't know just what to expect In Mexico...
She threw her arms around my neck In Mexico...
We started dancin all around the floor In Mexico...
And then she did a dance I never saw before
So if you're south of the border I mean down in Mexico
And you wanna get straight Man, don't hesitate
Just look up a cat named Joe
He wears a red bandana Plays a cool piana
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico

Yeah, como esta usted senorita
Come with me to the border, south of the border, that is In Mexico, yeah in Mexico You can get your kicks in Mexico Come with me baby, come with me, come with me, crazy, yeah


Ok so everyone has heard of the coasters, maybe all the music I post isn't new but its all good.

Blitzen Trapper "Black River Killer"

It was just a little while past the sunset strip
They found the girl?s body in an open pit
Her mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes were still wide
Gazing through the fog to the other side
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail
With no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall
Remembering the music of my lovers call
So you make no mistake
I know just what it takes
To pull a mans soul back from heavens gates
i've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin
But they say it's never too late to start again

Oh when, oh when
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin
Oh when, oh when
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
It was dark as the grave, it was just about three
When the warden with his key came to set me free
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit
A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute
So I took a bus down to the Rio Grande
And I shot a man down on the edge of town
Then I stole me a horse and I rode it around
Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down
He said, you make no mistake
I know just what it takes
To pull a mans soul back from heavens gates
i've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin
But they say it's never too late to start again
Oh when, oh when
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul to sin
Oh when, Oh when
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?

Well the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song
So I took the first train up to Oregon
And I killed the first man that I came upon
Because the devil works quick, you know it don't take long
Then I went to the river ford to take a swim
You know that black river water is as black as sin
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe
And then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade
Oh when, oh when
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin
Oh when, oh when
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
Oh when, oh when
Will that black river water wash me clean again
Oh when, oh when
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again

Answers to early hours.

This is why I get to work earlier than most. To post endless song lyrics of bands that no one knows but me. Bah.

Winter Gloves "Let Me Drive"

I thought you were ultimately right

I know you're not, come on just let me drive

And I say, You sail me over the world

You sail me over the world I said,

I think I'll never be the same

But you did it over again

And I said

I can't wait till you pick me up tonight

You know I should take the wheel and drive

And I said, I thought you were ultimately right

The streets are empty, come on just let me drive

And you sail me over the world

And you sail me over the world

I said, I think I'll never be the same

But you did it over again

And I said

The Thermals "Now We Can See"

Just like the song Jacque and I conquered our foe. "Love on a Ledge"Jaque then cleaned and rappelled the route. We headed inside away from the approaching weather.

The Thermals "Now We Can See"

Oh way-ow oh-whoa-oh

We were born in the desert

We were reared in a cave

We conquered in the sun but we lived in the shade

Yeah baby we were savage

we existed to kill

Our history is damaged

at least it was a thrill

But now we can see!

Now that our vision is strong

we don't have to admit we were wrong

Now we can see but the images don’t stick

Our enemies lay dead on the ground

and still we kick

Oh way-ow oh-whoa-oh

Now we can see

The warnings and the signs

Reading between the lines

like writing on the wall

Now we can see

What do we need

We should need nothing

Nothing at all

Yeaaah!

We were born on an island

we grew out of the sand

Never saw another creature

never knew another man

Yeah baby we were nothin

we existed for less

Our present was empty

our history a mess

But now we can see

Now we do as we please

Now we do away with our disease

Now we can see

Now the image sticks

We still need the medicine quick

We still take the pill…………..Now we can see

The warnings and the signs

Reading between the lines

like writing on the wall

Now we can see

What do we need

We should need nothing

Nothing at all

Oh way-ow oh-whoa-oh

Yeah now we can see

Point of Conjecture

Is this a "Crash Landing" or a "Crash"?

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Ugh Sunday, last week bueno this week no bueno.  Winter decided to show its ugly face again.  Lightning, wind, hail, and eventually snow.  We tried to make it to the canyon but it was properly socked in.  Food and a home improvement project ensued.  The project didn't go too well.  Three trips to the hardware store and 4 1/2 bottles of wine later progress was made but when the switch was flipped.....nada.  The problem lay within the shite pre-existing wiring.  Ehh, on to red sauce, pasta, more wine and a long nap.  Boy o' boy I hope the winter ends its reign soon.  

I leave you with Elliot.

"Needle In The Hay"
Your hand on his arm
Haystack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friend, trying to cash some check
He's acting dumb
That's what you've come to expect
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
He's wearing your clothes
Head down to toes, a reaction to you
You say you know what he did
But you idiot kid, you don't have a clue
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye, you're pulling him through
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Now on the bus
Nearly touching this dirty retreat
Falling out 6th and powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
Gonna walk walk walk
Four more blocks, plus the one in my brain
Down downstairs to the man, he's gonna make it all okay
I can't be myself
I can't be myself
And I don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure
So I can be quiet whenever I want
So leave me alone
You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks
Needle in the hay

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
