Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee

To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

 

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki

Well she was sellin' pineapple, playin' ukulele

And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway

She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay

 

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai

Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

 

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee

To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

 

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee

To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

 

And down on the shore they gather romance

She showed me much more, not only to dance...

And We will die in the class we were born,

thats a class of our own my love,

a class of our own my love"

Don't quite know if this is quite lyrics but l like story songs such as Elvis's In the Ghetto as the song comes full circle from beginning to end. I also like Running Bear by Johnny Preston. Any song that has a story in it the lyrics normally stick especially the sad ones.

"if it wasnt for the nips,being so good at building ships"

the yards would still be open on the clyde.

and it cant be much fun for them under the rising sun

with all their kids commiting suicide

 

what have you done!oh maggie what have we done.

The rain falls down on last year's man

That's a Jew's harp on the table

Thats a crayon in his hand

 

And the corners of the blue print are ruined since they rolled

Far past the stems of thumb-tacks that still throw shadows on the wood

And the skylight is like skin

For a drum I'll never mend

And all the rain falls down Amen

On the works of last year's man

 

I met a lady she was playing with her soldiers in the dark

Oh one by one she had to tell them that her name was Joan Of Arc

I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while

I want to thank you Joan Of Arc for treating me so well

 

And though I wear a uniform

I was not born to fight

All these wounded boys you lye beside

Good night my friends good night

 

I came upon a wedding

That old families had contrived

Bethlehem the bridegroom

Babylon the bride

 

Great Babylon was naked

Oh she stood there trembling for me

And Bethlehem inflamed us both

Like the shy one at some orgy

 

And when we fell together

All our flesh was like a veil

But I had to draw aside to see the serpent eat his tail

 

Some women wait for Jesus

And some women wait for Kane

So I hang upon my alter

And hoist my axe again

 

And I take the one that finds me

Back to where it all began

When Jesus was the honeymoon

And Kane was just a man

 

And we read from pleasant bibles

That are bound in blood and skin

But the wilderness is gathering all

It's children back again

 

The rain falls down on last year's man

An hour has gone by and he has not moved his hand

But Everything will happen

If he only gives his word

 

The lovers will rise up

And the mountains touch the ground

But the skylight is like skin

For a drum I'll never mend

 

And all the rain falls down Amen

On the works of last years man.

 

 

 

First heard these lyrics about fifteen years ago, can't get them out of my head.

Hello?

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me.

Is there anyone home?

Come on, Come on, Come on, now,

I hear you're feeling down.

Well, I can ease your pain

Get you on your feet again.

Relax.

I'll need some information first.

Just the basic facts.

Can you show me where it hurts?

 

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

When I was a child I had a FEVER My hands felt just like two balloons.

Now I've got that feeling once again

I can't explain, you would not understand

This is not how I am.

 

I have become comfortably numb.

(solo)

I have become comfortably numb.

 

O.K.

Just a little pin prick.

There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?

I do believe it's working, good.

That'll keep you going through the show

Come on it's time to go.

 

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown,

The dream is gone.

but I have become comfortably numb.

song about an autistic child

See the child

With the golden hair

Yet eyes that snow the emptiness inside

Do we know

Can we understand just how he feels

Or have we really tried

 

See him now

As he stands alone

And watches children play a children's game

Simple child

He looks almost like the others

Yet they know he's not the same

 

Scorn not his simplicity

But rather try to love him all the more

Scorn not his simplicity

Oh no

Oh no

 

See him stare

Not recognizing the kind face

That only yesterday he loved

The loving face

Of a mother who can't understand what she's been guilty of

 

How she cried tears of happiness

The day the doctor told her it's a boy

Now she cries tears of helplessness

And thinks of all the things he can't enjoy

 

Scorn not his simplicity

But rather try to love him all the more

Scorn not his simplicity

Oh no

Oh no

 

Only he knows how to face the future hopefully

Surrounded by despair

He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy

But surely you should care

 

Scorn not his simplicity

But rather try to love him all the more

Scorn not his simplicity

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no
