29 Jun 99 - 12:05 PM (#90719) Subject: Your song for the end of the world -July 4th From: The Shambles According to Nostradamus, the 16th century French astrologer and physician, the world is due to come to an end on July 4th 1999. Apart from Skeeter Davis, singing 'The End Of The World' and Nostradamus's own version of 'Ho Ho Ho, Who's Got The Last Laugh Now', what would be your choice to mark this occasion and be the last song the world ever heard? I think my vote has to be for Monty Python's, 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life'. |

Once Was The Time of Man - performed by the Limelighters, circa 1960, can't remember the author Chorus: Once there were trees and a river. Once there was grass where you stand. Once there were songs about rights instead of wrongs. Once was the time of Man. Grass doesn't grow on the hillside. Trees shrink and die in the sun. No place to hide my little baby's eyes From the damage the dead have done. (Chorus) They didn't know in the old times, The earth and the seas were to share. They didn't know in the old times, For there... Once were trees and a river. Once there was grass where you stand. Once there were songs about rights instead of wrongs. Once was the time of Man. Once was the time of Man. |

My favorite of his -- in keeping with the stream-of-consciousness nature of my recent postings and having nothing to do with the end of the world -- is "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park." Lovely little ditty for this time of the year. As for the end o' world stuff, maybe "Fixing to Die Rag" from Country Joe McDonald. (Whom I had the displeasure to interview some years back in a small roadhouse in Albuquerque and found to be most unpleasant, by the way.) KC |
