August Song Themes -- Peoples Names « Thread Started on Jul 30, 2012, 6:50am »
For August theme we can do peoples names...
Here are a few to start
Cross Eyed Mary
Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief -- if he had a rich man in his hand. And who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth if he could take it from the money man. Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again. She signs no contract but she always plays the game. Dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel, and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school. Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys: would rather make it with a letching grey. Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung, who watches through the railings as they play. Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along. She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song. She's a rich man stealer but her favour's good and strong: She's the Robin Hood of Highgate -- helps the poor man get along.
Locomotive Breath
In the shuffling madness Of the locomotive breath Runs the all time loser Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle And the train, it won't stop going No way to slow down Oh, oh
He sees his children jumping off At stations one by one His woman and his best friend In bed an' having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle And the train, it won't stop going No way to slow down Yeah, yeah
He hears the silence howling And catches angels as they fall And the all time winner Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible Open at page one
I thank God, he stole the handle And the train, it won't stop going No way to slow down
No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down
Elizabeth
Dressed in dreams for me You were what I wished to see Elizabeth, Elizabeth Love was very new Make believe was coming true Elizabeth, Elizabeth You were all much too much Out of reach and out of touch When you came to me I found it could never be Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth So a dream has to end When it's real Not pretend Dressed in memories You are what you used to be Elizabeth, Elizabeth Elizabeth .....for a friend

Bob Dylan - The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest
Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest They were the best of friends So when Frankie Lee needed more money one day Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens And placed them on a footstool Just above the plotted plain Sayin', "Take your pick, Frankie Boy My loss will be your gain".

'Big Riff and Mando' ~ Jethro Tull
Marty loved the sound of the stolen mandolin. Somebody took it on a dare in the night-time. Run up to the radio, calling out to the wind. Now, bring it, bring it back at least an hour before flight time. It was a souvenir, but it was a right arm missing. Swap a woodwork rhythm for a humbucking top line. Big Riff, rough boy, wants to be a singer in a band. A little slow in the brain box, but he had a quick right hand. Run left, run right everywhere he look nobody watching, no, but that was all he took last night.

Jethro Tull Hymn 43 1977
Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son whose busy with his money games -- his women and his gun. Oh Jesus save me! And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free. Oh Jesus save me! If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself from the gory glory seekers who use His name in death. Oh Jesus save me! I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon -- His cross was rather bloody -- He could hardly roll His stone. Oh Jesus save me!
