Chinese Cafe (Unchained Melody)

Caught in the middle
Carol we're middle class
We're middle aged
We were wild in the old days
Birth of rock 'n' roll days

Now your kids are coming up straight
And my child's a stranger
I bore her

But I could not raise her
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing "Oh my love, my darling"
One more time

Uranium money
Is booming in the old home town now
It's putting up sleek concrete
Tearing the old landmarks down now
Paving over brave little parks
Ripping off Indian land again
How long how long
Short sighted business men
Ah nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing "You give your love, so sweetly"
One more time
Christmas is sparkling
Out on Carol's lawn
This girl of my childhood games
With kids nearly grown and gone
Grown so fast
Like the turn of a page
We look like our mothers did now
When we were those kids' age
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing
"Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me"

Dennis Hopper RIP.

Dennis Hopper was the heart and soul of Easy Rider.

This is us

This is us down at the Mardi Gras
This is us in your Daddy's car
You and the missing link
Yeah, I'd had a little too much to drink now

Too long in the sun
Having too much fun
You and me and our memories
This is us

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us

You're rocking at the barbecue
Yeah, when we said, "I do"
Hand jiving on the Ballroom floor
You in that wedding coat you wore

And you in that amazing dress
I was stoned on love I guess
You and me, we were meant to be
This is us

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us

This is us on our honeymoon
In our hotel room
Sitting by the wishing well
Checking out of the love motel

Making plans for the sunshine state
Waiting at the terminal gate
You and me making history
This is us

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us

And our baby boy
With our pride and joy
You at the Sunday game
Standing next to, "What's his name?"

On our anniversary
With the family
You and me and our memories
This is us

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us

All the road running

A million miles our vagabond wheels
Clocked up beneath the clouds
They’re counting down to show time
When we do it for real with the crowds
Air miles are owing but they don’t come for free
And they don’t give you any for pain
But if it’s all for nothing
All the road running has been in vain

The rim shots come down like cannon fire
And thunder off the wall
There’s a man in every corner
And each one is giving his all
But this is my piper, this is my drum
So you’ll never hear me complain
And if it’s all for nothing
All the road running has been in vain

All the road running
All the road running

Well if you’re inclined to go up on the wall
It can only be fast and high
And those who don’t like the danger soon
Find something different to try
And when there is only a ring in your ears
And an echo down memory lane
Then if it’s all for nothing
All the road running has been in vain

All the road running
All the road running

The show’s packing up, i sit and I watch
The carnival eaving town
There’s no pretending that I’m not a fool
For riding around and around

Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
You showed me one time on the plane
But if it’s all for nothing
All the road running,it’s been in vain

I've a million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
And i’m still your man for the roaming
For as long as there's roaming allowed
There’ll be a rider and there’ll be a wall
As long as the dream remains
And if it’s all for nothing
All the road running it’s been in vain

All the road running
All the road running
