Here's a blast from the past I always loved because it was one of my old man's favorites.

COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
(Boyce / Hart/ Farrell )
In a little cafe; just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to that man, Jose;
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamoose, José's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
------ instrumental break ------
Then the music stopped
When I looked the cafe; was empty
Then I heard José say
"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to Jose; yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
La la-la-la la-la
La la-la-la la-la
Ho ho la-la
La la la-la |

I didn't even know it was a cover!

I guess I should include some stuff off of what was probably the first "progressive" rock album: Freak Out! by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention:
"Who Are the Brain Police?"
"Help, I'm a Rock!"
"It Can't Happen Here..."
"The Return of the Son of the Monster Magnet"
And - from We're Only In It For the Money:
"Absolutely Free"
"Concentration Moon"
"Who Needs the Peace Corps?"
"Flower Punk"
"What's the Ugliest Part of your Body?"
...Can't leave out these from Absolutely Free:
"Plastic People"
"Call Any Vegetable"
"Brown Shoes Don't Make It"
"Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin"
- And, you certainly don't hear the great "Weasels Rip My Flesh" very often... |

How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?
New Orleans '06
This song was written by Blind Alfred Reed and recorded a month after the crash of '29 that heralded the Great Depression. I first heard it on Ry Cooder's self - titled debut album (1970). To his arrangement we owe a debt. I kept the "doctor" first verse by Reed then wrote three others with a mind to the great trials the people of New Orleans have faced this year.
http://www.sonybmgemail.com/arch/Hit?m=o3zcm9m3o&u=oqqjt
Here are the full lyrics:
Well, the doctor comes 'round here with his face all bright
And he says "in a little while you'll be alright"
All he gives is a humbug pill, a dose of dope and a great big bill
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
He says "me and my old school pals had some might high times down here
And what happened to you poor black folks, well it just ain't fair"
He took a look around gave a little pep talk, said "I'm with you" then he took a little walk
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
There's bodies floatin' on Canal and the levees gone to Hell
Martha, get me my sixteen gauge and some dry shells 
Them who's got got out of town
And them who ain't got left to drown
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
I got family scattered from Texas all the way to Baltimore
And I ain't got no home in this world no more
Gonna be a judgment that's a fact, a righteous train rollin' down this track
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
- Bruce Springsteen, April 27, 2006 |

Your old man was full of taste. That is 'Jay and the Americans' circa 1968. A sweet tune indeed. Some songs never get old..(If you're a player, you can google up the tablature.) |
