Monday Playlist week of 3/7/2022

My cousin Dave is a proud Liverpudlian, and a big Beatles fan. He grew up in Liverpool in the 50s and 60s, and could tell you anything you want to know about his beloved City Liverpool!
He sent me some great lyrics, and the music was born as a sister to "Screaming Leg Blues", which I was working on at the time. Big thanks Cuz, love ya! <3

Lyrics
If there were a Rock 'N' Roll Heaven
What a place it would be
John, Jimi, and Janis
All singing in harmony
Oh Yeh, Oh Yeh, what a place it would be

I see them all in the Chelsea Hotel
Jammin so free and easy
Shootin the breeze
As the candy goes round
Oh Yeh, Oh Yeh, as the candy goes round

ROCK 'N' ROLL HEAVEN (For Dave)

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
(break)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
TAKE ME

A STREET OF LIFE

Roses and a Thirty-Eight       c. 2021 by M. A. Manetz

V1
Long hot summer of '99, half boy, half man, half out of my mind.
The summer I wrecked my dad's Corvette, the summer...when we first met.
First for you, first for me, fruit from that forbidden tree,
We picked all we could get, love without a safety net...

Chorus
I've lived in shame and sorrow,
Only one chance left to make it right.
I'll trade all my tomorrows,
Gonna make it up to you tonight.

V2
Your pa said, “boy, better mind your ways, hurt my girl I'll make you pay”.
But the seed was sown, sealed our fate, October came and you were late.
I got scared, ran that day, joined the army, went away.
Left you there to bear our sin, never saw your face again.

Chorus

V3
It's been nearly twenty years, now you're gone and I'm still here,
Of all the things that I regret, that's the one that haunts me yet...              
Not much left for me to say, I'll lay these flowers at your grave.
Now I'm gonna set things straight with roses and this thirty-eight...roses and a thirty-eight...

Chorus

Roses And A Thirty - Eight

A newly recorded Cover take on this one in AcoustaTroninc Style. It's an Alt-verison of a Favorite recorded previously from the amazing Civil Wars. What a sound they created. Massive Kudo's to JPW and JW. Just sketched here with all due love and respect in my own way. Used some new mics and the Martin 'Black Smoke' 000 and Classic Vibe 50's Tele to shape this creative interpretation.
Dust To Dust
(The Civil Wars)
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
All your acting, your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You're like a mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely too long

In 2021 there were 2,755 billionaires in the world. They are guilty of committing ECOCIDE - yet they continue to choose profit over battling climate change.

Billionaires are the leading cause of climate change. More than 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies as stated by the Carbon Majors Report.

Amazon alone emitted 61 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 - the equivalent of 16 coal-burning power plants running for a year.

Some of America’s most prominent companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Disney are backing business and lobbying groups that are fighting landmark climate legislation despite their promises to combat the climate crisis.

Time is running short - THERE IS NO PLANET B


                             Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Billionaires are destroying the planet
just so they can make a profit
pollution is killing Dear Mother Nature
melting - wiping out all our glaciers.

CHORUS
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan.

Heat waves are killing more and more people
we keep on burning more and more diesel
you don't have to be a rocket scientist
to know why fires destroy our forests.
Politicians are climate change deniers
in the meantime, our homes are on fire
the air we breathe smell like hell
thanks to the coal and oil cartels.

CHORUS

MONOLOGUE

Rising sea levels from China to California
causing devastation - Hallelujah
writings on the wall with plastic in our seas
welcome to the world of climate refugees.
Every year when it's hurricane season
the rains and floods are beyond reason
subways flooding thanks to carbon emissions
now our planet is in remission!

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

So start listening to the children
and heed the words of Mr. Bob Dylan
or it's a "Hard Reigns Gonna Fall"
your need for greed will be our downfall.

CHORUS

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

Automatic Karma Situation

The Old Water Wheel

World Gone Bad - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

I was born downtown on a bed of rats
From a dirty faced kid to a mean ol’ cat
Mama said son you look just like your dad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Don’t wanna go where I don’t want to be
Don’t want to say what I don’t really mean
What a lowdown rotten life I had
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Gonna pull up my boots
Pick up my cane
Put on my hat
Get on the road again
Hit that trail before the break of dawn
You can wait all you want but baby I’ll be gone

Some get their kicks in the back of a hearse
Some drink blood just to quench their thirst
Me I’m on the edge going mad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad 


World Gone Bad

Sometimes we just need to get away...
Lyrics:
Got to get out of the City
Need to leave here right away
I can’t take it any longer
I can’t stand another day
Chorus:
If I come up to your Mountain
Can I stay with you for just a little while?
Could you teach me some of your Country ways?
I’ve always loved your laid-back Country style

Gonna pack it up, pack it out, Yes, I’m gonna leave today
I just have to get on out of this place
Can’t think of one good reason that would make me stay here
Traffic, all the sirens, crowds of people and the violence
Chorus:
If I come up to your Mountain
Can I stay with you for just a little while?
Could you teach me some of your Country ways?
I’ve always admired your laid-back Country style

Country Ways (w/lyrics)

Broke Down in Tupelo
John Delk 2015

She took the high road out of Memphis
She had all that she could take
She called off the wedding
An her heart was about to break

Now he use to be a better man
But the whiskey changed  it all
She got tired of picking him up
Every time he'd fall

She drove a while in a pouring rain
Got as far as she could go
Stopped the car and started crying
She broke down in Tupelo

       Too many times changed her mind
       Made her question what she knows
       They broke up in Memphis
       She broke down in Tupelo


Now she don't know why
But when she stopped  to cry
She thought about going back

But she said right then
He's probly drunk again
An she ain't looking for that

       chorus

He use to be a better man
But the whiskey changed  it all
She got tired of picking him up
Every time he'd fall

She drove awhile in a pouring rain
She got as far as she could go
Stopped the car and started crying
Broke down in Tupelo

 chorus

Broke Down In Tupelo

Wrong Turn

Out Law

This started with one of Tom's Open Collabs
Guitar by Tom Adams
Lyrics by Tony's Lyrics
Vocal and Mix by Riff Beach

WELL, I WAS WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR…
JUST WHAT DID I FEEL?
YOU KNOW I FELT THE RAIN
IT WAS POURIN' DOWN ON ME
JUST POURIN' DOWN ON ME… OH, YEAH!  
THEN I JUMPED IN MY CAR…..
WELL, I TURNED ON THE KEY
OF COURSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START
HOW COULD THIS BE
…..HAPPENIN’ TO ME?
JUMPED THE CAR OFF
…….AS I WAS DRIVIN' DOWN THE ROAD
I HEARD A BUMPIN' SOUND
A TIRE BLEW OUT 
WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT……IMAGINE THAT?
…..WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
I REACHED FOR MY CELL
TO CALL OUT FOR HELP 
OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT 
FLAGGED A CAR DOWN
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
BLEW HIS HORN
AS THEY DROVE ON BY
(CHORUS )
WELL, I WAS HAVIN'
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
WHEN NOTHIN'S RIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
NO HELP IN SIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
OH YEAH, ONE OF THOSE DAYS
(BRIDGE AND OUT)
HAVE YOU EVER HAD 
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE
(OH…. BRING IT ON HOME, TOM!!!)
(CHORUS)

Feels Like Rain

Well Hello... Winter's been holding on here for this past week in late April. It was 12 degrees the other night and we had quite a bit of new snow. I've been snow shoveling several times this week. It has slowly been warming up though and I have been outside gardening when I can. I also got the chance to play some slide guitar, after taking a break from attempting to learn clawhammer banjo. Yes, banjo! I dusted off the old thing, and struggled to get it in tune. I have the basic 'claw' down now, and I am relearning some basic banjo chords I had forgotten. Surprisingly, I came to this song by way of the banjo. (Thank you banjo!) I had been stuck on this one claw movement, so I tried some slide banjo, which was a noisy venture at best. That is when I put the banjo down and recorded this song. (My roundabout way of creating music.) So now I am off to plant several flats of vegetable seeds. I moved a bunch of houseplants so I could put the seed-growing table by the largest window. It can hold 120 plant pots in 6 flats containing tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, kale, squash, cucumbers, some flowers and assorted others. I transplant them outside when the weather warms up. I just realized I have been planting like this for almost 30 years. Wish me luck... Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Administration's Album

Just Play Your Slide Guitar... Would Ya?

Remembering old friends and places with such great images.  This song
was written by Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Jr,. while they attended
Texas A&M in the late 70's. It was released by Lyle in 1986.  What an American singer and songwriter.  A gem of a song

This Old Porch   (  cover - Lyle Lovett)

Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocals, Music & Mix by Glen Granthem
The lyrics below inspired Glen to produce this track.

JOHNNY WASEN'T A PREACHER MAN	
OR THE LEADER OF A WORSHIP BAND	
HE WASEN'T A BIG TIME MINISTER	
OR EVEN A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER	
	
HE NEVER EVER PRAYED OUT LOUD	
OR TRIED TO STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
HE WAS NO STRANGER TO LUST OR SIN	
NEVER AFRAID TO SAY AMEN	
	
(CHORUS)	
JOHNNY LOVED JESUS, MUSIC AND FAMILY  	
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY HIS OWN WORST ENEMY	
HE LOVED SINGIN' PRAISES TO HIS LORD	
PRAYED THAT HEAVEN WOULD BE HIS REWARD	
	
	
HE DIDN'T LIVE IN A MANSION	
OR NEED LOTS OF  ATTENTION	
HE DIDN'T DRIVE A FANCY CAR	
OR OWN ANY RARE GUITARS	
	
HE LOVED HIS OLD FLAT TOP	
AND HE PLAYED IT NONSTOP	
HE WAS A TRUE DISCIPLE	
OF THAT OLD TIME COUNTRY GOSPEL	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
NOW HE'S SINGIN' WITH THE ANGEL'S	
AND WALKIN' THE STREETS OF GOLD	
	
(GUITAR SOLO)	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS )

Be Still (ORIGINAL)

There's no running from the blue these days, probably get shot at the border the way things are going.  Here we are, hitching a ride with the Maestro Keton again, having a bash at singing the blues.  Be well. https://soundcloud.com/keitblues

I have heard rumours and I think they might be true,
all about a friend of mine who was stealing time from you.
etc
I bought myself a ticket for a trip around the world,
was I looking for that inner light, was I looking for a girl..etc

I've slept on beaches and I've danced beneath the stars,
dreaming a thousand dreams in a thousand different bars etc

Running  from the Blue. ( Keiton-steve killingbeck) Collab.

Love country, folk, rock, gospel, blues and 60's style rock/pop music. I also post a Monday Playlist each week. My main page is Tony's Lyrics https://soundcloud.com/tonyslyrics
