Come to the dinner gong
The table is laden high
Fat bellies and hungry little ones
Tuck your napkins in
And take your share
Some get the gravy
And some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone
And some get nothing
Though there's plenty to spareI took my share down by the sea
Paper plates and Javex bottles on the tide
Seagulls come down
And they squawk at me
Down where the water-skiers glideSome turn to Jesus
And some turn to heroin
Some turn to rambling round
Looking for a clean sky
And a drinking stream
Some watch the paint peel off
Some watch their kids grow up
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big deal
American DreamI took my dream down by the sea
Yankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
And logs and sails
And Shell Oil pails
Dogs and tugs and summertime
Back in the banquet line
Angry young people cryingWho let the greedy in
And who left the needy out
Who made this salty soup
Tell him we're very hungry now
For a sweeter fare
In the cookie I read
"Some get the gravy
And some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone
And some get nothing
Though there's plenty to spare"

All this talk about holiness now
It must be the start of the latest style
Is it all books and words
Or do you really feel it?
Do you really laugh?
Do you really care?
Do you really smile
When you smile?
You criticize and you flatter
You imitate the best
And the rest you memorize
You know the times you impress me most
Are the times when you don’t try
When you don’t even try

Sesame Street - Lower case n
In a cold and far-off place
There was a lower-case N.
Lonely and cold, she would stare off into space
And it was known that she would cry now and then.Lower-case N, standing on a hill.
The wind is very still, for the lower-case eh-en...(occasional, unearthly "oohs" in background now)
And then one day a rocketship
Came racing from the sky.
It landed on the hill and there opened up a door
And somethin' started comin' outside...A lower-case N!
(She's not lonely anymo-o-re)
They are standing on the hill
(There are two that stand for su-u-ure)
The wind is very still
For the lower-case eh-ens!

you could have been more than a name on the door on the 33rd floor in the air
more than a credit card. swimming pool in the back yard.
while you still the time. you should get away and find a better life. you know the grind is so ungrateful.
racing cars. whisky bars. no one cares who you really are.
you're the keeper of the cards. yes i know it gets hard keeping the wheels turning. and the wife she keeps the keys. she's so pleased to be a part of the arrangement.
you could have been more.

from Kelly's Hero's
a WW2 movie'All those burning bridges'
Friends all tried to warn me but I held my head up high.
All them times they told me, but I only passed them by.
They all tried to tell me but I guess I didn't care.
I turned my back and left them standing there.All those burning bridges that have fallen after me.
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories.
Everyone I left behind each time I closed a door.
Burning bridges lost forever more.Joey tried to help me find a job awhile ago.
When I finally got it, I didn't want to go.
What is there in keep for me when I just walk away?
Now there's nothing left forme to say,All those burning bridges that have fallen after me.
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories.
Everyone I left behind each time I closed a door.
Burning bridges lost forever more.Years have passed and I keep thinking what a fool I've been.
When I look back into the past and think of way back when.
I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win.
I guess I should have listened to my friends.All those burning bridges that have fallen after me.
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories.
Everyone I left behind each time I closed a door.
Burning bridges lost forever more.

The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68, And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday.
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe.
You laugh, he said you think you're immune? Go look at your eyes.
They're full of moon.You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies.
when ya gonna realise they're only pretty lies?

the best ever death metal band out of denton
were a couple of guys
who'd been friends since grade school
one was named sirus
the other was jeff
and they practiced twice a week in jeff's bedroom
the best ever death metal band out of denton
never settled on a name
but the top three contenders
after weeks of debate
were satan's fingers and the killers and the hospital bums
jeff and sirus believed in their hearts
they were headed for stage lights and lear jets
and fortune and fame
so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram
they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names
this is how sirus got sent to the school
where they told him he'd be famous
and this was why jeff
in the letters he'd write to his friend
helped develop a plan to get even
when you punish a person for dreaming his dream
don't expect him to thank or forgive you
the best ever death metal band out of denton
will in time both outpace and outlive you
hail satan
hail satan
tonight
hail satan
hail, hail
