    I got to bet
    that your old man
    Became fascinated
    with his own plan
    Turned you loose,
    your mama too
    There wasn't a thing
    that you could do.

    But I got faith in you,
    It's a razor love
    that cuts clean through.
    I got faith in you,
    It's a razor love
    that cuts clean through.

    You really make my day
    With the little things you say

    Looking through
    the window at a silhouette
    Trying to find something
    I can't find yet
    Imagination is my best friend
    Got to look out for
    the greedy hand, greedy hand
    Make a living like a rolling stone
    On the road
    there's no place like home
    Silhouettes on the window.

    Who was it made
    your eyes flicker like that
    Tell me baby,
    how'd you get the knack
    You came to me with open arms
    And I really
    took you down the track

    Now all I've got for you,
    Is the kind of love
    that cuts clean through.
    All I got for you is razor love
    It cuts clean through.

    You really make my day
    With the little things you say

    you forgot 'out of control,' which is one of his greatest songs to date. it's available on the silver & gold live dvd.

    it's just that i was listening to it this morning... not trying to scold you... :p


    i like without rings, too:

    i'm waiting for a sign
    i'm standing on the road, my mind outstretched to you
    i'm picking something up
    i'm letting something go
    like a dog I'm fetching this for you

    I have narrowed my songs down to 105 selections. I obviously need to trim off five more ...... then i need to put them in order. Quite a task ahead of me.

    I feel bad leaving off some good songs.

    There were four albums with 6 selections from them and one album (tonights the night) with 7. Oddly thought the album i consider to be my favorite was not one of those 5 albums. On the beach will have 4 or 5 representitives on the list. I think i just love the overall feel of that album.

    It's coming... it is just taking a while to get it together
