LYRICS AS AIRED



Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn’t you like to get away?



Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name,

And they’re always glad you came.

You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same

You wanna be where everybody knows your name.



You wanna go where people know, people are all the same,

You wanna go where everybody knows your name.



COMPLETE LYRICS



Singing the blues when the home teams lose it's a crisis in your life
On the run 'cause all your girlfriends wanna be your wife
Wouldn't you like to get away?

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those nights when you've got no lights, the check is in the mail;
And your little angel hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiancé didn't show;

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see, our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Climbing the walls when no one calls; you've lost at love again.
And the more you're down and out, the more you need a friend.
When you long to hear a kind hello.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead; the morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe, and didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;

Be glad there's one place in the world where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know, people are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.



Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came

2. perhaps an instumental?

like the theme from Northern Exposure:shrug:

[KamaAina]

18. "Do Whatcha Wanna": The Rebirth Brass Band

http://www.rebirthbrassband.com/rbb/music.shtml

This was the brass band tune that crashed N.O. commercial radio playlists (both pre-K and pre-CC) in the early '90s, helping pave the way for the recent brass band revival.

Besides. "Do Whatcha Wanna" is pretty much the Lounge code of ethics, anyway, right?

[XemaSab]

3. What's all this crap from the 70's?

I nominate "Prison Sex" by Tool.

[wildhorses]

4. duly noted and thusly nominated

:patriot:

It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young, vestal then, you know it hurt me.
But I’m breathing so I guess I’m still alive
Even the signs seemed to tell me otherwise.
Got my hands down, and my head down,
And my eyes closed, my throat’s wide open.
I do unto others what has been done to me.
Do unto others what has been done to you.
I’m treading water. I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Won’t you, won’t you come a bit closer.
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this. I can’t stand to burn too long.
Release in sodomy. the one sweet moment I’m whole.

I do unto you now what has been to me.
I do unto you now, what has been done.
You’re breathing so I guess you’re still alive.
Even the signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won’t you, won’t you come on up closer.
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this. I need this to make me whole.
Relief in sodomy. have you witnessed that blood and flesh can be trusted. i.
Have you witnessed the blood and, this can’t be trusted. i.
Only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.
Got your hands bound, and your head down,
And your eyes closed, you look so precious now.

I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this.
Shit, blood, and come on my hands. I’ve come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon. you look so precious.
You look so precious now...

[underpants]

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. GD's theme song...

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I seen you around for a long long time, ya
I really remembered you when you drink my wine

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I'd kinda like to be the President
So I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I know you're workin' for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the Ma-fi-a

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

[wildhorses]

[wildhorses]

8. lyrics for Wheel in the Sky

:patriot:


Winter is here again oh lord,
Haven’t been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer

Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
I’ve been runnin’ down this dusty road

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’

I’ve been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can’t take this very much longer
I’m stranded in the sleet and rain
Don’t think I’m ever gonna make it home again
The mornin’ sun is risin’
It’s kissing the day



Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’

[nutsnberries]

10. Knights of the Round Table

definitely :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Wrong Python song

I nominate this one (slightly redacted):

There's everything in this movie forum
Everything that fits
From the Meaning of Life in the universe
To girls with great big tits

We've got movie stars and foreign cars
Explosions and the lot
Filmed Posted as only we know how
On the budget that we've got

We spent a fortune on locations
And quite a bit on drink
And there's ever the odd philosophical joke
Just to make you buggers think

Yet some parts are as serious
And as deep as you could wish
But largely it's all tits and ass
And quite a bit of fish

Other bits are fairly childish
And some are frankly rude
But at least we've got a lot of nice girls
All banging around in the nude

So take your seats, enjoy yourselves
And let's just hope it's funny
Because it's not only done to make you laugh
But to make us lots of money

So sit back and have a good time
With your boyfriend or your wife
Relax and just enjoy yourself
For this is the Meaning of Life



It sounds really neat when played on a mouse organ. :D

[wildhorses]

14. I take it ...that you are the write in???

or as my Dad would say, "you just threw your vote away"








oh well, I always say afterall it is MY vote

[SteppingRazor]

15. Shouldn't it be something Lounge-y?

Like "If you like Pina Coladas" or something by Barry Man-He-Blows or something?

Or better yet, it can be any song, as long as it's sung by this guy:

[wildhorses]

16. who the hell is that?

Yanni???

[SteppingRazor]

17. Bill Murray, actually. From an ancient Saturday Night Live skit n/t

[KamaAina]

19. Locking. No "Prison Sex" threads.

:evilgrin:

[MissMillie]

20. Car Wash!!!

[realisticphish]

21. Monty Python

[elshiva]

24. I LIKE TO PUSH THE PRAM ALOT!

[NJ Democrats]

22. Knights of the Round table!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Just thought of another one

From "Oliver":

Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along

Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares, whatever we've got we share

If it should chance to be we should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse
Always a chance to meet somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house

Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us!



Bonus: It's a hell of a drinking song. :bounce:

[wildhorses]

27. too bad...you can't vote twice

cos that is a GOOD one

CCCONNN---sider yourself
(don't know how to write it like they sing it but, it is a fun song)






:hi:













for once you might wish diebold was counting...then you could get your 2 votes in, huh?

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. I din't vote for it

And there's nothing in Robert's Rules of Order that says one person can't nominate two songs.

[wildhorses]
