(6,039 posts)This was a top 40 hit nearly 57 years ago around the height of the Cold War. It was, of course, about the Berlin Wall.
West of the wall I'll wait for you
West of the wall our dreams can all come true
Though we're apart a little while
My heart will wait until we both can smile
That wall built of our sorrow
We know must have an end
Till then dream of tomorrow
When we meet again
[Chorus]
West of the wall where hearts are free
West of the wall your heart can come to me
And in my arms that hold you tight
You will forget the darkness of the night
The world knows about sadness and we are not alone
West of the wall that soon will fall and you'll come home
Wall built upon sorrow
One day you will end
Hearts true to each other
Will not break
They will not bend
In our hour of sadness
How clearly we can see
Tomorrow's gladness
Free, free, free, free
[Chorus]
Come home
(West of the wall)

(7,220 posts)If these walls could talk they'd tell me to swim good
No boat I float better than he would
No life jacket I'm not the God of Nazareth
But your flood can be misunderstood
Wall telling me they full of pain, resentment
Need someone to live in them just to relieve tension
Me, I'm just a tenant
My Lord said these walls vacant more than a minute
These walls are vulnerable, exclamation
Interior pink, color coordinated
I interrogated every nook and cranny
I mean its still amazing before they couldn't stand me
These walls want to cry tears
These walls happier when I'm here
These walls never could hold up
Every time I come around demolition might crush
If these walls could talk

(7,939 posts)On a day hot enough to make the Devil cuss
I walked into a bar so thirsty I was spittin' dust
Barkeep asked me what'll it be?
I said whatcha got? He said well let's see, we got
Lone star, PBR, Rolling Rock, Shiner Bock
Moose Drool, O'Doul's, Hefeweizen, Ziegenbock,
Keystone, Coors Light, 'course we got Red Stripe
Amstel, Amsterdam in the tall can,
Michelob, Miller Light, Guinness by the pint glass
Doppelbock Lager, take a swaller 'cause it's goin' fast
Oatmeal stout and a lot of Leinenkugel's
Open up your wallet, no time to be frugal there's
99 bottles of beer on the wall
99 bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around
98 bottles of beer on the wall
Well needless to say I was pretty impressed
As he handed me an ice cold beer from a chest
I said, Not bad for a hole in the wall
Barkeep grinned, said That ain't all, we got
Rio Grande, River Rock, Tecate with a twist top
Dos Perros, Dos Equis, Foster if yer Aussie
Bud Light in the new Zane Williams coozie
A dozen wheat beers on tap if you're choosy, got
Heineken, Killian's, Labatt's and Beck's
Ice cold Corona with the limes in the necks
Yuengling chilling with the Old Milwaukee's best
Sam Adams and that ain't even half of the rest of them
98 bottles of beer on the wall
98 bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around
97 bottles of beer on the wall
Well I settled down with my favorite brew
I ordered me another and before I knew
It was 2 AM and I was under a table
Bein' choked by a dude that smelled like a stable
And finally I was able to throw him through the screen door
Pick up my hat off the hardwood floor
Get on back to the barkeep's daughter who was
Puttin' "Pop a Top" on the jukebox, dancin' non-stop
And sippin' on a beer that I bought her
We were drinkin' it like it was water
There were cowgirls everywhere wearin' their
Pretty hair down to their derriere and there were
2 more bottles of beer on the wall
2 more bottles of beer
Took one down and passed it around
1 more bottle of beer on the wall
1 more bottle of beer on the wall
1 more bottle of beer
We raised it up high and drained it dry and there were
No more bottles of beer on the wall
So we started on the
Cuervo, Bacardi Gold, margaritas, straight tequila
Jim Beam, George Dickel, then we wet our whistle with a
single malt scotch, peach schnapps in a jello shot
Captain Morgan, pour some more of them
Cider Sliders, Flyin' Tigers
Dr Pepper for the designated drivers
Everclear, Absolut and Amaretto
I don't remember much but I never will forget those
99 bottles of beer on the wall
99 bottles of beer
There ain't nothin' finer than an ice-cold Shiner and
99 bottles of beer on the wall
