[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 456, member: 1"] [B]Bastille Day[/B] Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart There's no bread, let them eat cake There's no end to what they'll take Flaunt the fruits of noble birth Wash the salt into the earth But they're marching to bastille day la guillotine will claim Her bloody prize free the dungeons of the innocent the king Will kneel, and let his kingdom rise Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace Naked fear on every face See them bow their heads to die As we would bow as they rode by And we're marching to bastille day la guillotine will claim Her bloody prize sing, o choirs of cacophony the king has Kneeled, to let his kingdom rise Lessons taught but never learned All around us anger burns Guide the future by the past Long ago the mould was cast For they marched up to bastille day la guillotine -- claimed Her bloody prize hear the echoes of the centuries power isn't All that money buys [B]I Think I'm Going Bald[/B] Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart I looked in the mirror today My eyes just didn't seem so bright I've lost a few more hairs I think I'm going bald I think I'm going bald! Seems like only yesterday We would sit and talk of dreams all night Dreams of youth And simple truths Now we're so involved So involved with life Walk down vanity fair Memory lane everywhere Wall street shuffles there Dressed in flowing hair The wire! Once we loved the flowers Now we ask the price of the land Once we would take water But now it must be wine Now we've been And now we've seen what price, peace of mind Take a piece of my mind My life is slipping away I'm aging every day But even when I'm grey I'll still be grey my way [B]Lakeside Park[/B] Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart Midway hawkers calling Try your luck with me Merry-go-round wheezing The same old melody A thousand ten cent wonders Who could ask for more A pocketful of silver The key to heaven's door Lakeside park Willows in the breeze Lakeside park So many memories Laughing rides Midway lights Shining stars on summer nights Days of barefoot freedom Racing with the waves Nights of starlit secrets Crackling driftwood flames Drinking by the lighthouse Smoking on the pier Still we saw the magic Fading every year Everyone would gather on the twenty-fourth of may sitting In the sand to watch the fireworks display dancing fires on The beach singing songs together though it's just a memory Some memories last forever [/QUOTE]
