Ring Brave New World - Bill Ring Page 1 of 2 I woke up this morning and I opened my eyes, Took a long look around and to my surprise, I don't know how and I don't know why, But I’m living in a brave new world. There was nothing very special on the early bird news, No scientist discovering a cure for the blues. There was no explanation and I didn’t have a clue Why I’m living in a brave new world. ‘Cause we are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl We are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl I switched on my computer and I liked me some links To save all the needy, show the world what I think, Then I did my calisthenics, and I threw up in the sink, Thinking ‘bout your brave new world. My face in the mirror looked just like chalk, I had a cup of coffee and went out for a walk. I asked a lot of questions, but nobody wants to talk About living in a brave new world. ‘Cause we are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl We are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl There were people with diplomas standing out in the street, Searching for democracy or something to eat. But a passing politician said it’s indiscrete To complain about a brave new world Brave New World - Bill Ring Page 2 of 2 While the bankers and the businessmen are having a blast Selling tickets to a carnival to celebrate the past, And laughing at the pessimist who said it couldn’t last To be living in a brave new world. ‘Cause we are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl We are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl Man on the corner with his hand in a fist Said I’m lost in a fantasy that doesn’t exist, But responsible authorities continue to insist That we’re living in a brave new world. I came home this evening and I went to bed With a pill and a whiskey and a pain in my head, . Then I woke up remembering what you said About living in a brave new world. You said … [Bridge] Have I walked this winding way Only to return, To dance on the edge of a shattered cliff While the city beneath me burns? I might be right and I could be wrong, But the same old places and the same old songs Look nothing like they used to do all along, Now we’re living in a brave new world. ‘Cause we are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl We are living in a brave new world And I am a brave new girl Cool To Black – Bill Ring In an air conditioned trailer on the Death Valley sand We pressed our buttons with a trembling hand. Warriors by remote control Infrared eyes and an algorithmic soul, I saw blood cool to black on the video screen And silent mouths that would scream in my dreams. The video games that I played as a kid Never prepared me for the things that we did; Push a button, and half a world away A missile from a Predator blew strangers away. I saw blood cool to black on the video screen And silent mouths that would scream in my dreams. We’d drink our morning coffee and joke in our way: “Which one of these suckers is getting his today?” But the alien faces up on the wall Just stared down and said nothing at all. And their blood cooled to black on the video screen And silent mouths screamed in my dreams. I’d go drinking in Las Vegas on a Saturday night, Play a little blackjack and look at the lights. I used to date a dealer ‘til I told her ‘bout it all, Now she won’t let me touch her and she won’t return my calls. I saw blood cool to black on the video screen And silent mouths screamed in my dreams. They tallied my total when my tour was through; I killed 1600 ‘cause it’s what I had to do. I thought I saw a child, but they said it was a dog, And I passed that night in an alcoholic fog. I saw blood cool to black on the video screen And silent mouths screamed in my dreams. I went home to Montana to stay with my folks To see my old buddies, try to laugh at their jokes. They tell me I’m a hero, but I don’t know what to say About the stain in my mind that I can’t wash away. I see blood cool to black on the video screen I see silent mouths scream in my dreams. That VA shrink calls it PTSD, But it only feels like guilt to me. I knew it was a child when they said it was a dog, Now my only comfort is that alcoholic fog. I see blood cool to black on the video screen And silent mouths scream in my dreams; Blood cools to black on the video screen And silent mouths still scream in my dreams; Silent mouths scream in my dreams. The End of History - Bill Ring The end of history came and went And nobody noticed at all. Put a little money in your IRA And turn your face to the wall. Turn your face to the wall my buddy, Isn’t it a little absurd? The end of history came and went And nobody uttered a word. The end of history came and went And it’s just like it was before. The rich stay rich and your mouths stay shut And the poor stay quietly poor. The poor stay quietly poor, my buddy ‘Cause that’s the way the game’ll get played. The end of history came and went And we didn’t even get a parade. Oh... that’s the beauty of history You... can always find a new enemy Or two or three. The end of history came and went And now we get to be the police, Bringing freedom and democracy to all the world Wherever they have oil we can lease. As long as they have oil we can lease, my buddy, There ain’t nothing we won’t do for a friend. The end of history came and went, But bullshit never does end. The end of history came and went, But bullshit never does end. Faithless Angels - Bill Ring Heroes huddled in the hall harmonize with ruined voices, Resting on a cardboard pall, out of luck and out of choices. I have heard them singing sweet in the fullness of the spring, Free of fear with joy complete, calling every bell to ring. Weary armies of the night, marching toward the break of day, Heavy hearts and burdens light, silent with too much to say. I have seen you draw the line, step across with hopeful heart, Proud and strong and feeling fine, to find yourself back at the start. Victors in your strange, sad war, where victory was never the point, You asked for love but wanted more, time on your side but out of joint. I have known your joy and rage, raised the empty parting glass, Burned the book and turned the page that only says, "This too shall pass." Faithless angels stand in line for the cup that quenches doubt, Madder music, stronger wine, still afraid to be left out. I have loved you from afar, watching silent in the dark, Waiting on the morning star, hoping for a distant spark. Tell me stories, tell me lies, anything but bitter truth, Drown me in your haunted eyes; let me dream of joyful youth. I have sought you all of my days, still in sight but out of reach, Yearned to walk your secret ways, longed to learn what none can teach Ghost In The Road - Bill Ring It might have been a deer in my headlights, It could have been a trick of the light, Or some solitary dog lost out in the fog, With a coat that looked peculiarly fuzzy and white.

  • "The Who Sings My Generation" (Album)
    “The Who Sings My Generation”—The Who (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label The Who Founded in England in 1964, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon are, collectively, better known as The Who. As a group on the pop-rock landscape, it’s been said that The Who occupy a rebel ground somewhere between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while, at the same time, proving to be innovative, iconoclastic and progressive all on their own. We can thank them for various now- standard rock affectations: the heightened level of decadence in rock (smashed guitars and exploding drum kits, among other now almost clichéd antics); making greater use of synthesizers in popular music; taking American R&B into a decidedly punk direction; and even formulating the idea of the once oxymoronic sounding “rock opera.” Almost all these elements are evident on The Who’s debut album, 1966’s “The Who Sings My Generation.” Though the band—back when they were known as The High Numbers—had a minor English hit in 1964 with the singles “I’m the Face”/”Zoot Suit,” it wouldn’t be until ’66 and the release of “My Generation” that the world got a true what’s what from The Who. “Generation,” steam- powered by its title tune and timeless lyric of “I hope I die before I get old,” “Generation” is a song cycle worthy of its inclusive name. Twelve tracks make up the album: “I Don’t Mind,” “The Good’s Gone,” “La-La-La Lies,” “Much Too Much,” “My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Please, Please, Please,” “It’s Not True,” “The Ox,” “A Legal Matter” and “Instant Party.” Allmusic.com summarizes the album appropriately: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone.

  • "The Culture of the 1970S Reflected Through Bruce Springsteen's Music"
    "The Culture of the 1970s Reflected Through Bruce Springsteen's Music" Senior Honors Thesis Presented To The Honors College Written By Melody S. Jackson Spring, 1983 Advised By Dr. Anthony Edmonds .;,- () -- "The Culture of the 1970s Reflected Through Bruce Springsteen's Music" I have seen the future of rock and roll and it is Bruce Springsteen. Jon Landau the advent of Bruce Springsteen, who made rock and roll a matter of life and death again, seemed nothing short of a miracle to me . Bruce Springsteen is the last of rock's great innocents. Dave Marsh Whether these respected critics see Springsteen as the future of great rock or the end of it, they do regard him with respect for his ability to convey the basic feeling of rock. And they are not alone in this opinion. From the start of his career, Springsteen has received a great deal of critical acclaim. This acclaim, in part because of his performing ability, seems quite fitting since his shows usually last for two and a half hours and often continue for four or even five hours. Relentlessly, he gives of himself to the thousands of fans -- his cult following -- who have come to see their own Rock Messiah. Upon analysis of the lyrics of Springsteen's songs, lyrics which he has written, one sees that he has a unique talent f()r reflecting the situation of the lower-middle class which he grew up in. In fact, in all of the albums he has released up to this time, he has written about the culture of the lower-middle class.

  • Runaway American Dream, Hope and Disillusion in the Early Work
    Runaway American Dream HOPE AND DISILLUSION IN THE EARLY WORK OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Two young Mexican immigrants who risk their lives trying to cross the border; thousands of factory workers losing their jobs when the Ohio steel industry collapsed; a Vietnam veteran who returns to his hometown, only to discover that he has none anymore; and young lovers learning the hard way that romance is a luxury they cannot afford. All of these people have two things in common. First, they are all disappointed that, for them, the American dream has failed. Rather, it has become a bitter nightmare from which there is no waking up. Secondly, their stories have all been documented by the same artist – a poet of the poor as it were – from New Jersey. Over the span of his 43-year career, Bruce Springsteen has captured the very essence of what it means to dream, fight and fail in America. That journey, from dreaming of success to accepting one’s sour destiny, will be the main subject of this paper. While the majority of themes have remained present in Springsteen’s work up until today, the way in which they have been treated has varied dramatically in the course of those more than forty years. It is this evolution that I will demonstrate in the following chapters. But before looking at something as extensive as a life-long career, one should first try to create some order in the large bulk of material. Many critics have tried to categorize Springsteen’s work in numerous ‘phases’. Some of them have reasonable arguments, but most of them made the mistake of creating strict chronological boundaries between relatively short periods of time1, unfortunately failing to see the numerous connections between chronologically remote works2 and the continuity that Springsteen himself has pointed out repeatedly.

  • 1) Jungleland
    60) Murder Incorporated So the comfort that you keep's a gold-plated, snub-nosed .32 Not quite sure why this doesn’t get more plays. It is a real belter, pumps you up, would be a great show opener. Would have been right at home on Darkness. Has you rocking from go to woe. Bruce leaves nobody behind on this and you’re taken on a six minute power ride, and there is no time for stopping. This was initially recorded back in 1982 with the Born In The USA sessions, but did not see an official release until the release of greatest hits in 1995. From the get go it sounds like classic Springsteen. The thud of Max’s drums, followed with the intro of the guitars. The organs feature prominently too. And for the next six minutes, you feel compelled to tap your foot to the beat and fill with anger, because let’s face it, this song doesn’t exactly put a smile on your face. That’s not to say songs need to have a happy vibe about them to enjoy them. The sax solo feels like it’s just been shoved in for the sake of it. But somehow Bruce managed to make it work. Nils’ wows us with a blistering solo before the bridge and we are treated to one final verse and raspy Bruce belts out a “I could tell you were just frustrated livin with Murder Incoporated.” Bruce struts his stuff and nearly sets his guitar on fire, Stevie throws a punch back (much like the Saint duel at Hammersmith), but Bruce shows why he’s Boss.

  • BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Bobby Charles was born Robert Charles Guidry on 21st February 1938 in Abbeville, Louisiana. A native Cajun himself, he recalled that his life “changed for ever” when he re-tuned his parents’ radio set from a local Cajun station to one playing records by Fats Domino. Most successful as a songwriter, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of swamp pop. His own vocal style was laidback and drawling. His biggest successes were songs other artists covered, such as ‘See You Later Alligator’ by Bill Haley & His Comets; ‘Walking To New Orleans’ by Fats Domino – with whom he recorded a duet of the same song in the 1990s – and ‘(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do’ by Clarence “Frogman” Henry. It allowed him to live off the songwriting royalties for the rest of his life! Two other well-known compositions are ‘The Jealous Kind’, recorded by Joe Cocker, and ‘Tennessee Blues’ which Kris Kristofferson committed to record. Disenchanted with the music business, Bobby disappeared from the music scene in the mid-1960s but returned in 1972 with a self-titled album on the Bearsville label on which he was accompanied by Rick Danko and several other members of the Band and Dr John. Bobby later made a rare live appearance as a guest singer on stage at The Last Waltz, the 1976 farewell concert of the Band, although his contribution was cut from Martin Scorsese’s film of the event. Bobby Charles returned to the studio in later years, recording a European-only album called Clean Water in 1987.

  • Bruce Springsteen, Jungleland
    Bruce Springsteen, Jungleland The rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine over the Jersey state line Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane Well the Maximum Lawman run down Flamingo chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world As we take our stand down in Jungleland The midnight gang's assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night They'll meet `neath that giant Exxon sign that brings this fair city light Man there's an opera out on the Turnpike There's a ballet being fought out in the alley Until the local cops, Cherry Tops, rips this holy night The street's alive as secret debts are paid Contacts made, they vanished unseen Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine The hungry and the hunted explode into rock'n'roll bands That face off against each other out in the street down in Jungleland In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the D.J. plays Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and they're gone Beneath the city two hearts beat Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked In whispers of
