Walking By Lightning Lyrics
The woman in the window turns to see him wave She says life is like a sailor in a storm Truth knocks once then slips away Love shouts loudly then it fades Like water off a collar slightly worn Walking by lightning Taken by storm Frozen by fire Healed by thorns A flash in the night is always what it seems And memory prides itself on being brave >From the end you see the mean Like a vague forgotten dream Crawling through the mist of yeste

Once upon a time
Way back a long time ago,
When the universe consisted of nothing more elaborate than
Mark Bolman
Oh, thank you Frank
And don't misspell it,
That's not Marc Bolan
that's Mark Volman
Hiya friends
I wanna welcome each and everyone of you
I wanna say to you tonight
I feel great
I mean, I feel great
everywhere I go people are always comin' up to me
and they say Mark, Mark, Mark
Mark are you kiddin'
Lemme tell you this friends:
I am not kiddin'
I mean, I am portly and I am maroon
well, how many people here tonight can guess what I am?
Aaaah
I can't guess what you are
Well, then I'll give you some clues
The Road Not Taken Lyrics
Down in the southwest Virginia town of Richlands I fell in love with an Appalachian girl She lived in a long line of little row houses On the side of an old strip mining hill She walked along on the jagged ridge And looked as far as she could see But the hills out there so up and down You only see as far as the next big ridge Everytime I see her face On the street in the hollow of on the hill Another time and another place I feel her in my heart
I am portly
Does that help?
Not much
No, I don't know who you are
Okay, I got one
Clue number two:
I am double knit
Does that help?
No, not much
Whaddya mean?
Well, then I've to give you one more clue
I know this is gonna give it away
And I hate like damn to tell you this
But clue number three:
Ich bin Maroon!
Ahhhhhhhh you're a sofa!
Once upon a time
Way back a long time ago,
When the universe consisted of nothing more elaborate than
Mark Volman ...
Thank you, Frank
... trying to convince each and every member
of this extremely hip audience here tonight,
that he was nothing more, nothing less
than a fat maroon sofa,
Suspended in the midst of a great emptiness
a light shined down from heaven (* twinkling sounds *)
And there he was ladies and gentleman, the good lord

And he said to himself
"Quite an attractive sofa"
"This sofa could be commercial"
With a few more Margaritas and the right company
However, I digress
"What this sofa needs" said the Big 'G'
"Is a bit of flooring underneath of it"
and so in order to make this construction project possible,
he summoned the assistance of the celestial corp of engineers,
and, by means of a cute little song in the German language
(which is the way he talks whenever it's heavy business)
the Good Lord went something like this:
(take it away Jim Pons!)
Gib zu mir etwas Fussbodenbelag
unter diesen fetten fliessenden Sofa
Everybody!
Gib zu mir etwas Fussbodenbelag
unter diesen fetten fliessenden Sofa
and of course ladies and gentlemen that means:
"give unto me a bit of flooring under this fat floating sofa"
and sure enough boards of oak appeared throughout t

as far as vision permits,
stretching all the way from Belfast to Bogner Regis
and the Lord put aside his huge cigar
and proceeded to deliver unto the charming maroonish sofa
the bulk of his message
with the assistance of a small electric clarinet
and it went something like this...
take it away Jim Pons!
