Classic Neil....

Hello Ruby in the dust

Has your band begun to rust?

After all the sin we've had

I was hopin' that we'd turn bad...

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you

Is it the same?

It's the woman in you that makes you want

To play this game.....

The Frost King has come and with a flick of his thumb turned the windows to Renaissance art

As we sit round the fire with no need to enquire about the ways of the soul and the heart

Years passed us by like a soft whispered sigh not noticing youth as it flew

It's easy to tell that you wear your age well not trying to prove you're still you.....

Let's dance that old dance once more, we still move as smooth on the old ballroom floor

I'll wear my Sunday best and you wear your favourite dress

Lock up the door, lets dance that old dance once more.....

I've seen him several times in concert now and he comes to play in Wells/Barkerville almost every fall! He's signed several of my old vinyl Valdy albums for me......he's a really great guy. one of the 'originals'. His music is roots music. ::D

Here is one of australia's best roots music practitioners

All you want is

What you can't have

And if you just look around man

You see you got magic

So just sit back relax

Enjoy it while you still have it

Don't look back on life man and only see tragic

Because you could be better than that

Don't let it get the better of you

What could be better than now

Life's not about what's better than

You can be better than that

Don't let it get the better of you

What could be better than now

Life's not about what's better

All the time while you're looking away

There are things you can do man

There's things you can say

To the the ones you're with

With whom you're spending your today

Get your gaze off tomorrow

And let come what may

Because you could be better than that

Don't let it get the better of you

What could be better than now

Life's not about what's better than

You can be better than that

Don't let it get the better of you

What could be better than now

Life's not about what's better

All I know is sometimes things can be hard

But you should know by now

They come and they go

So why, oh why

Do I look to the other side

'Cause I know the grass is greener but

Just as hard to mow

Life's not about what's better than.

All you want is

What you can't have

And if you just look around man

You see you got magic

So just sit back relax

Enjoy it while you still have it

Don't look back on life man and only see tragic

Because

You could be better than that

Don't let it get the better of you

What could be better than now

Life's not about what's better than

You can be better than that

Don't let it get the better of you

What could be better than now

Life's not about what's better than

Dedicated to all the optimists on CDC .. with the dawning of a new year comes hope ..

Love this song ..

Very seldomly is a cover miles ahead of an original...this is one of those cases.

A bit of humour(?) as an aside...

A man cheated on his girlfriend named Lorraine with a girl named Clearly. Suddenly, Lorraine died. At the funeral when his brother asked him how he was getting along...the man replied.."Oh, just great man...I can see Clearly now, Lorraine is gone." ;)

The eastern world it is explodin',

violence flarin', bullets loadin',

you're old enough to kill but not for votin',

you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',

and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',

but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,

ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?

Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?

If the button is pushed, there's no running away,

There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,

take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,

but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,

ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',

I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',

I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,

handful of Senators don't pass legislation,

and marches alone can't bring integration,

when human respect is disintegratin',

this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',

and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,

ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China!

Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!

Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,

but when you return, it's the same old place,

the poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace,

you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,

hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,

and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,

ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
