How about colors? :>
Brian William
Anybody for colors? I haven't counted them up, but there must be
twenty or thirty references to different colors in Paul's lyrics.
List the name of the song, the lyric it comes from, and the color.
I'll start...
Leaves that Are Green
"And the leaves that are green turn to brown..."
green, brown.
I dunno, I'd just rather check the newsgroup and find a bunch of
messages waiting to read instead of the two or three that have
been here recently. :>

A few off the top of my head:
Kodachrome: greens of summer, black and white
Under African Skies: black as night, pale yellow moon
Proof: silver bells, silver foil
For Emily: smoky burgundy, honey hair
Night Game: white as bones
Red Rubber Ball
Big Bright Green ....
One Man's Ceiling: bloody purple
Seems to be a lot of blacks, whites, browns, and greens.

Patterns: Like the color of my skin (okay, that one's a little loose,
but he does mention color!!)

Okay, that's a few. I could easily find others, but I'm tired. :-)

Me too, so, here's one I know I tried to start in the old days on Prodigy, but
I don't remember if I ever tried it here. I thought it was one that could go on
for quite a while. Paul says "There must be 50 ways to leave your lover," but
then only mentions, what, about half a dozen? So, I think we need to fill in
the rest...

O.K., O.K. - I'm certainly slow on the take today - gotta have a cup of

Wish the choices were as clear cut for me as they would be if PS was truly
in the running! Personally, I think PS would be a great candidate - let's
see who would be a good VP... my personal choice would be James Taylor!
Between the two we might actually see a renewed interest in the political

made! Still think the harmonies of a Simon/Taylor ticket would make this
world a better place. I remember reading that Paul said he cried when
Goldwater (yes, I remember this too) lost the election. With Paul's "maybe
not in my lifetime, but in yours I feel sure" attitude and Taylors stand on
ecology ... well, it's nice to dream now & then...

Would have been my first guess, but I wasn't sure. I was sure, however, that he
would shed no tears for a Goldwater loss. BTW, did you ever hear Tom Paxton's
"Lament for a Lost Election," written after the congressional elections fo
1994? Has a little guitar intro, followed by a chorus that chants one word,
"shit!"

that one - sad that Paxton's "chant" pretty much reflects the attitude
toward politics as much today as it did then..

I'll probably get told off but this reminds me of a joke I just read on the
arthritis newsgroup:
Bill Clinton steps out onto the upstairs White House porch in the dead of
winter.
Right in front of him, on the White House lawn, he sees "The President
Must Die" written in urine across the snow. Well, old Bill is pretty
ticked off. He storms into his security staff's HQ, and yells "Somebody
wrote a death threat in the snow on the front damn lawn! And they wrote
it in urine! Son-of-a-bitch had to be standing right on the porch when
he did it! Where were you guys?!"
The security guys stay silent and stare ashamedly at the floor. Bill hollers
"Well damm it, don't just sit there! Get out and FIND OUT WHO DID IT! I want
an
answer, and I want it TONIGHT!"
The entire staff immediately jumps up and races for the exits. Later that
evening, his chief security officer approaches him and says "Well Mr.
President, we have some bad news and we have some really bad news. Which do
you
want first?"
Clinton says "Oh hell, give me the bad news first." The officer says "Well,
we
took a sample of the urine and tested it. The results just came back, and it
was Al Gore's urine." Clinton says "Oh my god, I feel so... so... betrayed!
My
own
Vice President! Damn....Well, what's the really bad news?"
The officer replies "Well, it's Hillary's handwriting."
