But you crank that CD up in the car and he sounds like a behemoth.

7. The perfect song (even though it was about Nixon really)
Thu Jan 12, 2017, 04:03 PM

Don't lend a hand,
to raise no flag
Atop no ship of fools.....



Might even be more relevant now....

Went to see the captain, strangest I could find,
Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line.
I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels,
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin' of the boat,
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I won't leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild,
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before.
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more.
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few:
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought, when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

The Dark And The Rolling Sea:



Oh, you set your course for the furthest shores,
And you never once looked back.
And the flag you flew was a pirate cross,
On a field of velvet black.
And those landsmen who you but lately knew
Were left stranded on the lea,
Don't call on them when the storm clouds rise
On the dark and the rolling sea.

"Oh, I have no need of a chart or creed,"
You told your waiting crew,
"For the winds of chance, they will bear us straight."
And you spoke as though you knew
So you paid no mind to the warning signs
As you gave your words so free
Don't change your tack when the timbers crack
On the dark and the rolling sea.

Now the thunder rails in the great mainsails,
And the stars desert the skies.
And the rigging strains as the hands of rain
Reach down to wash your eyes
And your oarsmen stands with his knife in hand,
And his eyes spell mutiny.
Don't call my name when your ship goes down
On the dark and the rolling sea.

--Al Stewart

33. "King of Fuh" by Brute Force
Sat Jan 14, 2017, 09:15 PM
Jan 2017

Here's some sample lyrics:

"There was a beautiful land called Fuh
And in this land there was a king
And everybody called him the Fuh King

And the Fuh King did what he wanted to do
I said the Fuh King went where he wanted to go
Wo oh mighty, mighty Fuh King

All hail the Fuh King
The mighty Fuh King
All hail! All hail the Fuh King"

I cannot think of a more appropriate song to dedicate to him.

Masque of the Great Deceiver



(I originally thought this song was about Ronald Reagan (the Great "Communicator&quot , but it certainly appropos of the little donny prick (the Great Prevaricator).)

35. Send in the Clowns -- as sung by Barbra Streisand
Sun Jan 15, 2017, 07:13 AM
Jan 2017
&feature=youtu.be


These are the "new" lyrics:

Is he that rich?
Maybe he’s poor?
‘Til he reveals his returns
Who can be sure?
Who needs this clown?

Something’s amiss
I don’t approve
If he were running the free world,
Where would we move?
Name me a town?
Just who is this clown?

And when we thought we’d heard it all
Huffing and puffing about his big fantasy wall
Making his entrance on stage…
He just shoots from the hip
He’s full of bull
He’s lost his grip!

And if by chance
He gets to heav’n
Even up there he’ll declare…
Chapter Elev’n!
Who’d hire this clown?
This sad vulgar clown…
“You’re fired,” you clown!

Hillary’s kind…
Smart, that’s clear
While she is giving us hope… Trump is selling us fear
Look how he changes his views every time that he speaks
It’s lie after lie
Can’t take eight more weeks!

This is no farce
Maybe he’s broke?
Is this “The Art of His Deal”
Or some awful joke?
You’ve got to admit…
This silly half-wit…
Is so full of…

It's called "Fergus Laing"

Fergus Laing, he builds and builds
Yet small is his erection.
Fergus Laing has a fine head of hair
When the winds in the right direction.
