John Simkin Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Waltzing my Matildahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kki1kpFCBh0 I first heard this song performed by June Tabor without music at a folk club about 35 years ago. It was one of the most powerful musical experiences of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dolva Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I was at a party and this fella said to me "Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree, people care for nothing, no respect for human rights. Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights" I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?" He got kinda wary as he looked around the room. He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state" I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great, Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?" He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone Over in the corner I could see this other guy He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar And as sure as hell this guy was coming on to me He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we? What's our situation, do we have some time for us?" I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?" I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone Standing up is scary if you think you're gonna fall. Like a Humpty Dumpty, 'fraid of falling off the wall. I say if you ever want to know what's going on gotta keep on rockin baby till the night is gone...

John Dolva Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Must have left my house at eight, because I always do My train, Im certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this Im pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, theres no exception to the rule A matter of routine, Ive done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Oh yes, Im sure my life was well within its usual frame The day before you came Must have opened my front door at eight oclock or so And stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go Im sure I had my dinner watching something on tv Theres not, I think, a single episode of dallas that I didnt see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by marilyn french or something in that style Its funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came _____________________ Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill Birds of passage, you and me We fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex We're still striving for the sky No taste for humble pie Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more Clear-headed and open-eyed With nothing left untried Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
