(12,132 posts)actually, it's mine and my wife's. We used to skip class and go shoot pool and smoke at a near by dive bar and we'd play this on the jukebox.
we didn't think too hard about the actual lyrics, lol, we just both thought we got lucky. still do.

(54,770 posts)These are my favorite verses:
And the workings of sunshine and rain
And the visions they paint that remain
Pulsate from my soul through my brain
In a Spanish guitar
The beggar whom sits in the street
On his miserable throne of defeat
Envisions no wealth there to meet
Thinking nowhere is far
And the laughter of children employed
By the fantasies not yet destroyed
By the dogmas of those they avoid
Knowing not what they are
And the right and the wrong and insane
And the answers they cannot explain
Pulsate from my soul through my brain
In a Spanish guitar
To play on a Spanish guitar
With the sun shining down where you are
Skipping and singing a bar
From the music around
Just to laugh through the columns of trees
To soar like a seagull in breeze
To stand in the rain if you please
Or to never be found

Had I not fallen in love with her, and had she not reciprocated, I would not have survived these last 35 years.

(9,129 posts)"Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of them dream, most of them dream
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last"

(23,105 posts)The track for my 20s and 30s is "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles.
I got smarter, moved away from our druggie friends and quit the coke at 40. My life since then is mainly "Our House" by CSNY.
When I had cancer and was struggling with a 6 month staph infection and non-stop excruciating pain, my life was Lenny Kravitzs I Want to Get Away". Thank God that nightmare ended after 2 years and I was able to return back to "Our House".

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared,
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know.
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie la la lie
