Subject: Lyr Add: COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE (Silverstein)
I like it Shel's Spirit. What if we all post our favourite songs here so we can put one over the selfish bastards who closed down Carol's site?

THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE (by Shel Silverstein)

We're big rock singers we've got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kinds of pills to give us all kinds of thrills
But the one thrill we've never known
Is the thrill which will hit yer when you get yer picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone (Gonna see my face on the cover)
Rolling Stone (Gonna buy five copies for my mother)
Rolling Stone (Gonna see my smiling face on the cover of the Rolling Stone)

I've got a cute little lady called Cocain Sadie
Sewing my old blue jeans
I've got my dear old grey haired Daddy
Driving my limousine
And it's all desigend to blow our minds
But our minds won't truly be blown
Till the thrill that will hit yer when you get yer picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

We've got ten thousand cute little blue eyed girls
Who do anything we say
We've got a genuine Indian guru - who's teaching us a better way
We've got all of the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Others I really like are "I've just got to get rid of this band" and "The ugliest man in the town". Who's got those?
