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?
