LAY LADY LAY lyrics by Bob Dylan, from Nashville Skyline (1969)
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he’s standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

DIRE STRAITS: “Romeo And Juliet” Lyrics
A love struck Romeo, sings a streets a serenade
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
‘n’ says something like, “You and me babe, how about it?”
Juliet says, “Hey it’s Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack”
He’s underneath the window, she’s singing, ‘Hey la, my boyfriend’s back
You shouldn’t come around here, singing up at people like that’
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame,
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same,
And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say, “Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him”
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said “I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I die”
There’s a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
I can’t do the talks, like they talk on the TV
And I can’t do a love song, like the way it’s meant to be
I can’t do everything, but I’ll do anything for you
I can’t do anything ‘cept be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, ‘n bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I’d do the stars with you, anytime
Ah Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I die
There’s a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
And a love struck Romeo, sings a streets a serenade,
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
‘n’ says something like, “You and me babe, how about it?”
“You and me babe, how about it?”

SANDBOX by Michael Houser / Widespread Panic
What a place to hang out is a sandbox
Bury things you don’t want
And dig up things you do want
And the sun is on your face
I’m in love with a girl that I met in a bar [ a park -DG ]
She’s brought me this far, yeah
Such a beautiful face
And I know I’m in the right place
So won’t you come with me now girl
We’re gonna show all the world how
The candle and the wine
Can bring a song to mind
Well the barstool rodeo’s in town
And I know all of our friends will be going down
Hey, girl we might catch a ride downtown tonight
Hey, girl do you wanna go downtown tonight
That’s the smile that I like
Well it’s so hard for me to say
But that’s just for today now
When it gets dark outside
Then I can speak my mind
This town has always been my friend
I guess I’ll try again now
To get that number right
So I can hold that line
I’m in love with a girl that I met in the bar
She’s brought me this far, yeah
And all I did was say
Can I get you a drink

I’M NOT FIT (Don’t Be Down) by Trevor Garrod / Coffee Bean Brown / Tea Leaf Green
I’m not fit,
to be in the company of women.
I drink a bit,
smell like the jungles of India
I curse and I spit,
I know I’m gonna be mean to ya
I’m not fit,
To even be anywhere near ya
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down, down on me
Don’t be down on me
I had a gal,
I left her on strawberry hill
I Should’ve stuck around,
And help to pay her electric bill
I left her light,
Burning all night long down there
And it ain’t right if you ain’t gonna pay your share
Now,
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down, down on me
Don’t be down on me
I’ve had my fortunes told,
I’ve had my time unrolled,
I don’t want to die alone, no
So, take me home, you take me home,
You take me home… tonight
I’m no good,
at asking please or saying thank you
I’ll lick your knife,
and I’ll butter your toast with a rusty spoon
I’ll talk all night and
I won’t even tell you how pretty you are
I’m impolite, I’ll drink you up in a dirty jar
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down, down on me
Don’t be down on me
