Miss Nickelodeon

(jay wise)
Kinda like an indian beatin on his mandolin
Lucky paul and his asian friend,
Smilin back from the place theyre in.
Heros mother hides in austin waitin for a loan
Preachers teachers boogie down in saigon,
Tryin to make it on their own.
Injun ladies with their cement hair,
Snub ulysses on the stair
I believe hes up there sellin kitchen wares,
Tryin to make it back to sweden.
Ah, kinda like an indian beatin on his mandolin
Lucky paul and his asian friend,
Smilin back from the place theyre in.
Glad to see you on the mend,
Oh, miss nickelodeon,
Guess you got the stuff I could not send,
Roll it over again.
Trip in from 43,
A magic boy, his dog and me.

Action This Day

Action
This street honey is a mean street
Living in thsi street honey needsa a mean
Streak
Weve got criminals living in this street
But theres a heartbeet pulse that keeps on
Pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling, this world is using me
This town honey is a dead town
Living in this town honey is a showdown
But theres a heartbeat pulse that keep in
Pumping
Some sunshine ray through a crack in a
Shutter
Or a sight of a light at
The end of a tunnel
Still theres a feeling, this world is using me
Action this day

Waitret, Please, Waitret

(kinky friedman, major boles, roscoe west)
Well, I pulled into dallat on a cold december day
Bought coffee and a doughnut at the greasy spoon caf,
Spied me a pretty young waitret standing by her tray,
But she couldnt believe her sweet young ears when the waitret heard me say:
Oh, waitret, please, waitret, come sit down on my fate,
Eatin aint cheatin, lord it aint no disgrace.
Oh, bring me a lone star, make it a case
And waitret, please, waitret, come sit down on my fate.
Well, I walked up to the jukebox feeling kind of mean,
The waitret said, hey, stupid, thats a cigarette machine!
well, look-a here, young waitret, would you care to make a bet,
And if that there aint a jukebox, you can smoke my cigarette!
Oh, waitret, please, waitret, come sit down on my fate,
Eatin aint cheatin, lord it aint no disgrace.
Oh, bring me a lone star, make it a case
And waitret, please, waitret, come sit down on my fate.
Youre the prettiest thing in dallat, is dallat your home ?
No, I come all the way from houton and I feel so all alone.
I used to live in autin then I come up to big d

When the darkness robbed the light in happy hour

The Corsican Brothers (French: Les Frères corses) is a novella by Alexandre Dumas, père first published in 1844. It has been adapted many times on the stage and in film.

Jukebox goes on in the dim light restaurant
And the protagonist realized
When they danced Ballroom
To the tune of The Blue Danube Waltz
By John Strauss II, changing their precious wives.
Really hard to recognize each other?
Happiness & Sorrow
They're Siamese twins unchangeable.

For Alexandre Dumas!

Amarillo

(emmylou harris/rodney crowell)
My baby never was the cheatin kind
But it wasnt cause the ladies didnt try
Now everywhere we go
Theyre walkin round him slow
Givin him a flutter and a sigh
Now I got him past that redhead in atlanta
Lord I walked all over that black-eyed cajun queen
But outside of amarillo, he found his thrill, Ill tell you
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
Oh amarillo whatd you want my baby for
Oh amarillo now he wont come home no more
You done played a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
While he put another quarter
Push dolly and then porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
If we only hadnt stopped in there for coffee
If someone hadnt played the window up above
Hed still be mine today

Break Ups, Teardrops, and Lies.

Don’t play sad songs on the jukebox
I’ve got enough misery in my heart.
I’m drowning in a sea of fallen teardrops
and I don’t want my crying to restart.

I guess that I’m an emotional kind of lover
who takes being jilted harder than most men.
It doesn’t take many sad words to upset me
and tear jerker songs do it time and again.

Play something that’s tuneful and happy,
something to take my mind off cloudy skies.
I don’t want to listen to lonely hearts music
full of break ups, teardrops, and lies.

Rock Hose

Blue light, big crowd
Jukebox plays loud
No fear, no care
Everybody's rockin' everywhere
Rockhouse, rockhouse, rockhouse
We're goin' to the rockhouse
Well rock it in the mornin'
Rock it in daylight
Rockin' through the evening
And I won't be home at night
Rockhouse, we're goin' to the rockhouse
Rock-a-rockhouse
Heartache, you lose
No trouble, no booze
Come one, come all
Well rock it up and have a ball
Rockhouse, rockhouse, rockhouse
We're goin' to the rockhouse

S i m i l e

‘A golden evening; and we watched
the sun sink slowly below the horizon
like a golden dime
into a flaming jukebox’..

well, yes and no… similes –
one thing likened to another –
are sacred food: gifts
that we give to one another’s mind
to lift it with a sudden joy;
expand it so that all the world
is made afresh, anew, and
full of wonder and of praise..
a world whose unity becomes
in a moment, here and now, forever…

give a simile in words as if – like -
the most careful choice of gift of love
to the one you love the most:
to say, this is to show how much

Lets Fall To Pieces Together

Pardon me, you left your tears on the jukebox
And Im afraid they got mixed up with mine
I dont mean to pry, its just that i
Noticed you goin out of your mind
It looks like were two of a kind
Chorus
Lets fall to pieces together
Why should we both fall apart
Lets fall to pieces together
Right here in each others arms
Alone is much better together
When the worst is still yet to come
So lets share the rest, of the tears that are left
From two hearts that just came undone
Why should we go crazy alone
Chorus

I Love Rock 'n' Roll

Hey is this thing on?
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about 17
The beat was going strong
Playin' my favorite song
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'till he was with me (yeah me)
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'till he was with me (yeah me) singin'

Chorus
I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock 'n' roll
So come and take the time and dance with me OW!

He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
But that don't matter he said

My-My Kind Of Girl

When I saw you on 8th street
You could make my ife complete, baly
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You're my-my kind of a girl
And when I saw you by
The jukebox, ow-ow
You put a quarter in and played
My favorite song too, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You're my-my kind of a girl
I think we'd look pretty good together,
Walking through a winter wonderland
And this time I think it's forever
I hope your parents understand
When I saw you by the Peppermint Lounge
You were lost but you've been found, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You're my-my kind of a girl

Long, Long Day

Its been a long, long day
I got some run-down shoes
Aint got no place to stay
But any old place will be okay
Its been a long, long day
I sure been on this road
Done nearly fourteen years
Cant say my names well known
You dont see my face in rolling stone
But I sure been on this road
Slow motion
Half a dollar bill
Jukebox in the corner
Shooting to kill
And its been a...
Its been a long, long day
I sure could use a friend
Dont know what else to say
I hate to abuse an old cliche
But its been a long, long day

Build A Fire

Pulled up to rest, let the engine cool awhile.
Open the beans, gather wood for the fire.
I hum this tune, to all the girls Ive known.
Should I care, about the chances Ive blown?
Build a fire, theyre gonna build a fire
Build a fire, theyre gonna build a fire
Theyre gonna build a fire
Theyre gonna build a fire
When daylight breaks, Ill be down that road.
Rockman an me, with a lighter load.
Well stop for lunch, in some taco bar.
Lee marvin on the jukebox, wanderin star.
Build a fire, theyre gonna build a fire
Build a fire, theyre gonna build a fire

Kindly Keep It Country

If youre gonna play the jukebox
Would you kindly keep it country
cause Im feelin so lonely tonight
Oh please play a sad song about a heart thats just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight
Id get up off this bar stool if youd play something we could dance to
Oh, a song about a love thats gone astray
Oh I love to hear em sing about the misery and pain
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight
Oh please play a sad song about a heart thats just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight
Would you kindly keep it country for me tonight

Hot Mango Flush

Hot mango flush.
Ladies with ice cream hair -
Gyroscopic pink neon beams -
Everybodys happy about something.
The crowd moves like a flock of startings: they
Switch direction as one.
Jive on the jukebox - jack and joker
Split the night air with whoop and holler.
Faint aroma - wood smoke, old fish,
Diesel harbour, roadside mongrel,
Painted man with buttons barely
Holding, bursting belly bulging.
Doe-eyed ragamuffin mumbling -
Scolded for some vague infraction.
Stole a penny candy-coloured
Sweetheart kiss down at the market.
Down at the market all the world
Seems to simmer:
Hot mango flush.

Honkytonkville

Thought Id go crazy when you said goodbye
I didnt have that far to go
But I made a wrong turn somewhere in the night
Down a long and lonely road
Chorus:
To Honkytonkville, an ideal
Home away from home sweet home
Honkytonkville where I dont feel
A thing since youve been gone
Where the futures always bright
In the glow of neon lights
Livin high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville
Theres friendly faces everywhere I turn
Droppin quarters in the slot
Lord knows that weve all got memories to burn
And thats why that jukebox plays around the clock
Repeat Chorus
Livin high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville

A Spit And Sawdust Pub

Jukebox on in the corner
a group of lads playing Pool
arrows being thrown at a dartboard
and a drunk acting the fool.
Loads of blokes in football shirts
watching a live game on the T.V.
a woman sipping at her Orange juice
while her partner knocks back Whisky.
Four chaps sit around a table
there playing three card brag
as one of them counts his winnings
the others go outside for a fag.
The pub gets noisier by the hour
words are now slurred due to the drink
some customers are now so drunk
they don't care what anyone may think.
Last orders is shouted out loudly
the landlord wants to call it a night
but before he can close the doors
he has to break up a drunken fight.

A Cowboy Like You

(tompall glaser)
Well theres a jukebox in my ear
Playing so loud I can hardly hear
And its telling a story
About a boy like you
And each selection that I make
Tells me how my heart will break
Falling in love with a cowboy like you
When its just an old machine
Without a heart but oh so mean
Says Ill probably spend my whole life feeling blue
So Ill just put in one more dime
And play that same song one more time
Cause I want to hear about a cowboy like you
Repeat verse #3
I guess that I should go on home
But I cant stand to be alone
Cause Ill only dream about
A cowboy like you
Yeah Ill only dream about
