Know what The Lounge needs?!? More Cash!
For reals!

Johnny Cash - The Man Who Couldn't Cry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgK-1mpSljI

There once was a man who just couldn't cry
He hadn't cried for years and for years
Napalmed babies and the movie love story
For instance could not produce tears
As a child he had cried as all children will
Then at some point his tear ducts all ran dry
He grew to be a man, it all hit the fan
Things got bad, but he couldn't cry

His dog got run over, his wife up and left him
And after that he got sacked from his job
Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore
Ah, but still not a sniffle or sob

His novel was refused, his movie was panned
And his big Broadway show was a flop

He got sent off to jail; you guessed it, no bail
Oh, but still not a dribble or drop

In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered
And made to make license plates
Water and bread was all he was fed
But not once did a tear stain his face

Doctors were called in, scientists, too
Theologians were last and practically least

They all agreed sure enough; this was sure no cream puff
But in fact an insensitive beast

He was removed from jail and placed in a place
For the insensitive and the insane
He played lots of chess and made lots of friends
And he cried every time it would rain

Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights
And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried

On the forty-first day, he passed away
He just dehydrated and died

He went up to heaven, located his dog
After that, but he rejoined his arm
Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back
Cancer robbed the whore of her charm

His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke
The theologians were finally found out

Right down to the ground, that jail house burned down
The earth suffered perpetual drought

:patriot:

3. "If you're travvlin' ..."
mix it up with some Dylan...

ahh.. The Girl from North Country
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkaS4MKDBPw

If you're travelin' to the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

See for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
See for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes fall,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see for me if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

If you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

awesome...

:hug:

8. How bout some drug festered sores?
:cry:

I love anyone who understands teh song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9dbmJ_2zU

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real

the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt


I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

:*
