"More Than A Woman" - written by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb - 1977
“Music Video” from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy0rYUvn7ToLYRICS:
Oh, girl Ive known you very well
Ive seen you growing everyday
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away.Suddenly you're in my life
Part of everything I do
You got me working day and night
Just trying to keep a hold on you.Here in your arms I found my paradise
My only chance for happiness
And if I lose you now I think I would die.Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time.More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, oh, oh, oh.There are stories old and true
Of people so in love like you and me
And I can see myself
Let history repeat itself.Reflecting how I feel for you
Thinking about those people then
I know that in a thousand years
Id fall in love with you again.This is the only way that we should fly
This is the only way to go
And if I lose your love I know I would die.Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time.More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, oh, oh, oh._______________________________________________________________

Regulators
We regulate any stealing of his property
We're damn good too
But you can't be any geek off the street
Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean. Earn your keep!
Regulators! Mount up![G:]
It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G was on the streets, trying to consume
Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some phones
Rolling in my ride, chilling all alone[Nate:]
Just hit the east side of the LBC
On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G
Seen a car full of girls ain't no need to tweak
All you skirts know what's up with 213[G:]
So I hooks a left on 21 and Lewis
Some brothers shooting dice so I said "Let's do this"
I jumped out the ride, and said "What's up?"
Some brothers pulled some gats so I said "I'm stuck."1 hr 3 min - Suzanne Vega / Jimi Hendrix with comedian Kevin Camia

London Calling to the fools in the crowd
I would call it dangerous to gee your weight around
London Calling - we're the kings of the South
Hated all over, kings of the mouth
London calling, and we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
London Calling at the news o'clock nine
Evacuate the city appearing kind
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
The paper is dry, the wheat is getting thin
Meltdown expected reactor turning
London is drowning and I live by the river
London Calling to mods on the run
Stomp out forecast seaside fun
London Calling, the past is a cult
The wrong kind of jacket proof of that (?)
London C-c-c-call...
Ahh-ah-ah-ahhhh!
Never felt so much like..
London Calling_________________________________________________

About Heroin Buttsex and Lord of the Rings
From the publisher's feed
On this evidence-driven debate show, panelists argue controversial theories behind hit songs—from rap to rock to showtunes—exploring three grand themes that weave through all of pop music: Heroin,…
Buttsex, and Lord of the Rings.But what is “Eye of the Tiger” ACTUALLY about?For that matter, what is Sade’s 1985 hit “Sweetest Taboo” really about? -- Heroin? Buttsex? Either seems credible. Perhaps it’s written from the perspective of the wizard Saruman, exulting in the power gained from his secret fealty to the dark lord Sauron.Our goal is to inspire consensus-driven debate, while encouraging a community of pop music and LotR criticism, interpretation, and appreciation.Call 424-209-2071 to contribute, or email at [email protected]
