Eat a cow, eat a cow 'cause it's good for you
Eat a cow, eat a cow it's the thing that goes "Mooooo"
Look at all the cows in the slaughterhouse yard
Gotta hit'em in the head, gotta hit'em real hard
First you gotta clean'em then the butcher cuts'em up
Throws it on a scale throws an eyeball in a cup :geek:

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a
flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me

Spent the day listening to music...if there are four lines of music better than this I've yet to hear them from the song " You could be happy: by Snow Patrol

You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to

It just describes my love for my wife.

I know I'm a soppy git 😢

The more I search, the more my need for you.
The more I bless, the more I bleed for you.
You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel.
Time was never on my side,
So on I wait my whole lifetime.

(Written in memory of his friend who died in a bus crash).

Now the damage's done and we're back out on the run
Funny how everything was roses when we held onto the guns.
Just because you're winning don't mean you're the lucky one.

You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
And everybody's fighting for their promised land.

Captain America's been torn apart,
Now he's just a court jester with a broken heart.

Today it is:
Look off down the highway at the glittering lights
like windshield glass on the shoulder tonight
as the diesels all grind up from the plains
bunched like pearls on a string.

Previously it was:
I quit talking to myself
a long long time ago
Listening to the radio
damn near strangled by my appetite
Ybor City on a Friday night
could'nt even stand upright
so high the street girls wouldn't take my pay
said come back 'n see me on a better day
she just smiled and danced away

Hey you out there in the cold
Getting lonely getting old can you feel me
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles can you feel me
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey you out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
Hey you with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me

Hey you, The Wall
Pink Floyd

Well we know where we're going
but we don't know where we've been,
and we know what we're knowing,
but we can't say what we've seen,
and were not little children, and
we know what we want,
and the future is certain,
give us time to work it out.
Yeah...

And a big bright healthy smile

Of our trials worthwhile

Use to be a sweet boy

And I’m not to blame

But something wet wrong

Something went wrong

Grandpa die last week

And now he’s buried in the rocks

But everybody still says

How badly they were shocked

But me, I expected it to happen

I knew he’d lost control

When he built a fire on Main Street

And shot it full of holes
