    Parliament - P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)

    Parliament - P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)



    "P.Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up)"
    Good evening.
    Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong.
    We have taken control as to bring you this special show.
    We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving.

    Welcome to station wefunk, better known as We-Funk,
    Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection.
    Home of the extraterrestrial brothers,
    Dealers of funky music.
    P. Funk, uncut funk, The Bomb.

    Coming to you directly from the Mothership
    Top of the Chocolate Milky Way, 500, 000 kilowatts of P. Funk-power.
    So kick back, dig, while we do it to you in your eardrums.
    And me? I'm known as Lollipop Man, alias the Long-Haired Sucker.
    My motto is:

    Make my funk the P. Funk
    I want my funk uncut (make mine the P)
    Make my funk the P. Funk
    I wants to get funked up. (wants to get funked up)
    I want the bomb,
    I want the P. Funk (yeah)
    I want my funk uncut. (make mine the P)
    Make my funk the P. Funk
    I wants to get funked up.

    Wefunk, y'all.
    Now this is what I want you all to do:
    If you got faults, defects or shortcomings,
    You know, like arthritis, rheumatism or migraines,
    Whatever part of your body it is,
    I want you to lay it on your radio, let the vibes flow through.
    Funk not only moves, it can re-move, dig?
    The desired effect is what you get
    When you improve your Interplanetary Funksmanship.
    Sir Lollipop Man! Chocolate coated, freaky and and habit forming.
    Doin' it to you in 3-D,
    So groovy that I dig me.
    Once upon a time called Now!
    Somebody say, "Is there funk after death?"
    I say, "Is Seven Up?"
    Yeah, P. Funk!

    Make my funk the P. Funk (uncut funk!)

    So you can feel cool.
    Gangster lean.
    Y'all should dig my sun-rooftop.
    Well, allright. Hey I was diggin' on y'alls funk for awhile.
    Sounds like it got a three on it though, to me.
    Then I was down south and I heard some funk with some main ingredients
    Like Doobie Brothers, Blue Magic, David Bowie.

    Ferron - Girl On a Road

    Ferron - Girl On a Road



    My momma was a waitress, my daddy a truckdriver. The
    thing that kept their power from them slowed me down
    awhile. I remember the morning that was the closing of
    my youth, when I said goodbye to no one and in that way
    faced my truth...and a walk along the river... and a
    rain a'coming down...and a girl on a road.

    There's a rhythm to a highway to match the rhythm of
    your fears. My shopping bag possessions scattered with
    my splattered tears. A string of nights in truck stops
    and in darkness and in lies and a man they all called
    Tigerboy...he just had to show me why. He just had to
    give me something I'd forever understand...as a girl on
    a road.

    Rain upon the water makes footprints sunk in sand.
    Anger upon angry hurt, take me by the hand. Take me by
    the heartstrings and pull me deep inside and say I'm
    one with your forgiveness and separate from my pride.

    I don't know what it's like for you but here's what
    it's like for me... I wanted to turn beautiful and
    serve Eternity and never follow money or love with
    greasy hands, or move the earth and waters just to make
    it fit my plans. My eyes would be the harbor, my words
    the perfect place for a girl on a road.

    I met you in the Summer, I left you in the Fall. In
    between we did some living...I like to think that's
    all...but now I see words can be like weapons no matter
    that they're small, and I used three tiny words on you
    and then beat it down the hall. Does this road go on
    forever? Does this terror know no end...for a girl on a
    road? Would you like to sing it with me? Rain upon the
    water makes footprints sunk in sand. Anger upon angry
    hurt, take me by the hand. Take me by the heartstrings
    and pull me deep inside and say I'm one with your
    forgiveness and separate from my pride.

    You cannot measure what it takes to mend a withered
    heart. They'll tell you at the onset everybody does
    their part. I did my best to follow the calling of my
    soul. But, it's like that first guitar I played...at
    the center is a hole, at the center is a...longing...
    that I cannot understand as a girl on a road.

    But if music be a boulder, let me carry it a long
    while. Let it turn into a feather, let it brush against
    my smile. Let the life be somewhat settled with the
    life that song has made. Let there be nothing I am
    longing for in some plan I may have made, in some story
    quickly written during a long forgotten time as a girl
    on a road. Sing it with me...Rain upon the...

    Ferron - Our Purpose Here

    Ferron - Our Purpose Here



    It's a quiet street in someone's town
    On stranger's feet I mark my ground
    I trace my circles round and round
    I'm sworn to find me
    In a party scene and I'd just got loose
    Its my devil's luck to be introduced
    To one who takes their shape like you
    It unbinds me

    We knew we wouIdn't have everything
    And time proves it true
    I've got a flat-top six dressed in steel strings
    And I don't have you
    You wouIdn't like the life
    And I wouIdn't want you to

    There's a secret in this solitude
    As my love unfolds I find it's often crude
    I call you late and my words intrude
    And I falter
    But the miles don't shrink by telephone
    The crackling wire becomes our home
    I tell you I'm okay alone
    And then I wonder
    I've got towns ahead
    And shows behind
    And I won't be lost

    I join my name to that solid line
    Though it always costs
    But it takes my time
    And it fills my mind
    And it feeds the ghost of
    Memories in the quiet heat
    When our words were trim
    And our hope was neat
    We said our purpose here
    Was to be complete with 'I want you'
    It's a woman's dream this autonomy
    Where the lines connect
    And the points stay free
    We said passion as an open sea
    Would only haunt you
    I watch the last cab
    Turn its headlights down
    To today's sunrise
    I must have wanted you in every town
    And it's no surprise
    That want alone don't sit you down
    By my love eyes
    I've got memories in the quiet heat
    When our words were trim
    And our hope was neat
    We said our purpose here
    Was to be complete with 'I want you'

    Supertramp - The Logical Song

    Supertramp - The Logical Song



    "Logical Song"

    When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
    A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
    And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
    Joyfully, playfully watching me.
    But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
    Logical, responsible, practical.
    And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
    Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

    There are times when all the world's asleep,
    The questions run too deep
    For such a simple man.
    Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
    I know it sounds absurd
    But please tell me who I am.

    Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
    Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
    Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
    Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

    At night, when all the world's asleep,
    The questions run so deep
    For such a simple man.
    Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
    I know it sounds absurd
    But please tell me who I am.

    REM - South Central Rain

    REM - South Central Rain



    "So. Central Rain"

    Did you never call? I waited for your call
    These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
    The trees will bend, the cities wash away
    The city on the river there is a girl without a dream
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

    Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
    The wise man built his words upon the rocks
    But I'm not bound to follow suit
    The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed
    Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

    Did you never call? I waited for your call
    These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
    The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
    Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

    REM - Fall On Me

    REM - Fall On Me



    "Fall On Me"

    There's a problem, feathers, iron
    Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys
    Feathers hit the ground
    Before the weight can leave the air

    Buy the sky and sell the sky
    And tell the sky, and tell the sky
    Fall on me (what is it up in the air for)
    Fall on me (if it's there for long)
    Fall on me (it's over, it's over me)

    There's the progress
    We have found a way to talk around the problem
    Building towers
    Foresight isn't anything at all

    Buy the sky and sell the sky
    And bleed the sky and tell the sky
    Fall on me (what is it up in the air for)
    Fall on me (if it's there for long)
    Fall on me (it's over, it's over me)
    Fall on me
    (Well I would keep it above but then it wouldn't be sky any more)
    (So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it home)

    Buy the sky and sell the sky
    And lift your arms up to the sky
    And ask the sky, and ask the sky
    Fall on me (what is it up in the air for)
    Fall on me (if it's there for long)
    Fall on me (it's over, it's over me)

    Ferron - Misty Mountain

    Ferron - Misty Mountain




    1. Up the misty mountain
      Wild flowers bind the ground
      Down by the rushing river
      Force will wear those boulders down
      Me I'm underneath my covers
      Me I'm trapped inside my brain
      While up above the misty mountain
      Up above the rushing river
      Up above the bed of longing
      The eagle takes the wind
      The eagle takes the wind my friend
      The eagle takes the wind
      It makes me think of this my friend
      Where does the eagle live in me?
      O I am crawling through this city
      I say the city will be my home
      I say Ferron you are halfway pretty
      And may you never be alone
      Be it scorn or be it favour
      Be it but a moment gone
      But I stood before the mirror
      Like an open-ended cavern
      Like a breath held inhaled, holding,
      And I barely knew my name
      I barely knew my name my friend
      I barely knew my name
      It makes me think of this my friend
      Where do I live in me?

      O it's a planet of resistance
      It's a whirling flame of choice
      Are you my comrades in persistence
      I swear they'll know us by our voice
      Though we lay down in dusty corners
      We are ragged as a scar
      And when we rest our eyes stay open
      We are always off to war
      We're always off to war my friend
      We're always off to war
      And it makes my think of this my friend
      Where can the quiet be?

      O is it up the misty mountain
      Where wild flowers bind the ground
      Is it down by the rushing river
      Where force wears those boulders down
      Is it underneath my covers
      Is it trapped inside my brain
      Is it up above the misty mountain
      Is it up above the rushing river
      Is it up above the bed of longing
      Where the eagle takes the wind?

    Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

    Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

    "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."



    "Subterranean Homesick Blues"

    Johnny's in the basement
    Mixing up the medicine
    I'm on the pavement
    Thinking about the government
    The man in a trench coat
    Badge out, laid off
    Says he's got a bad cough
    Wants to get it paid off

    Look out, kid
    It's somethin' you did
    God knows when
    But you're doin' it again
    You better duck down the alley way
    Lookin' for a new friend
    A man in a coon-skin cap
    In a pig pen
    Wants eleven dollar bills
    You only got ten.

    Maggie comes fleet foot
    Face full of black soot
    Talkin' that the heat put
    Plants in the bed but
    The phone's tapped anyway
    Maggie says that many say
    They must bust in early May
    Orders from the DA

    Look out, kid
    Don't matter what you did
    Walk on your tip toes
    Don't tie no bows
    Better stay away from those
    That carry around a fire hose
    Keep a clean nose
    Watch the plainclothes
    You don't need a weather man
    To know which way the wind blows.

    Ah, get sick, get well
    Hang around an ink well
    Ring bell, hard to tell
    If anything is gonna sell
    Try hard, get barred
    Get back, write Braille
    Get jailed, jump bail
    Join the army, if you fail

    Look out kid
    You're gonna get hit
    By losers, cheaters
    Six-time users
    Hanging 'round the theaters
    Girl by the whirlpool is
    Lookin' for a new fool
    Don't follow leaders
    Watch the parkin' meters.

    Ah, get born, keep warm
    Short pants, romance, learn to dance
    Get dressed, get blessed
    Try to be a success
    Please her, please him, buy gifts
    Don't steal, don't lift
    Twenty years of schoolin'
    And they put you on the day shift

    Look out kid
    They keep it all hid
    Better jump down a manhole
    Light yourself a candle
    Don't wear sandals
    Try to avoid the scandals
    Don't wanna be a bum
    You better chew gum
    The pump don't work
    'Cause the vandals took the handles.
