Saturday song - Week 21

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple man

Mama told me when I was young 

"Come sit beside me, my only son 

And listen closely to what I say 

And if you do this it will help you some sunny day" 

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast 

Troubles will come and they will pass 

You'll find a woman and you'll find love 

And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man 

Oh, be something you love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of man 

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can" 

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold 

All that you need is in your soul 

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try 

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied" 

"And be a simple kind of man 

Oh, be something you love and understand 

Baby be a simple kind of man 

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

Saturday song - Week 20

Slipknot - Before I forget

Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm 

Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home 

Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm 

Catastrophic, not again

I'm smeared across the page, and doused in gasoline 

I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene 

Catch me up on all your sordid little insurrections, 

I've got no time to lose, and I'm just caught up in all the cattle 

Fray the strings 

Throw the shapes 

Hold your breath 

Listen! 

I am a world before I am a man 

I was a creature before I could stand 

I will remember before I forget 

BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
