Subject: Lyr Add: GUANTANAMO BAY (Barry Finn)
Well I don't know what happened to me. This morning the words Guantanamo Bay jump up & whacked me in the face & about an hour later when I stopped writting this was written on the paper (after a bit of reworking). I'm still not to sure if it's a bit to long for the modern attention span, I'll have to consult Bert about his 3 minute rule & see if this sides by. The tune is a little strange as you can see it's not that easy to scan but believe me it works. I'm sorry I don't know how to write muce or how to put it up on a post. If anyone wants to here it or sing it PM me & I'll send you my tel# & would be happy to sing it to you or to your answering machine.

       Guantanamo Bay (words & tune by Barry Finn 2/24/06)


Guantanamo Bay, hey, I'm on my way
I won't be coming back from there, not in manys a day
Guantanamo Bay, I'm here to stay

Chorus:
Where the sun shines hard on the dogs in the yard
An I'm here to say there's no place in the world like Guantanamo Bay

Let's all get naked, in Guantanamo Bay
Lie in the sand; put our tush in a Bush, where the nights are gay
Let's all get cute with the girls in the suits

I can't believe it, that I made it here
I'm a lazy do nothing, no good to no one, without a care
My luck's so fine, who could be so kind, to land me here in a spa so far from grit & grime

I'm getting island fever, I can't handle the truth
I'm getting buggered all day, can't get from the 'Git', I'm so young I'm a youth
Where the akee & rice, & salt fish is nice

I'm dying here, I live in fear
I don't think I've done wrong, I just wrote a song of a place so fair
This ain't what I thought, this ain't what I bought

I must be mad; I know I've just been had
I'm told to go, I no longer know what I knowed, it's sad
I know now I've no home, no home to roam, can you just send me away

To where the sun shines hard on the dogs in the yard
An I'm here to say there's no place in the world like Guantanamo Bay


Comments would be greatly appricated. Thanks
