The Song That Best Sums Up Your Life
 
As of today...Tears of Rage (it's why I'm move from Chicago)


We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you’d throw us all aside
And put us on our way
Oh what dear daughter ’neath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always tell him, “No?”
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief

We pointed out the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
Now, I want you to know that while we watched
You discover there was no one true
Most ev’rybody really thought
It was a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so low
And life is brief

It was all very painless
When you went out to receive
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so low
And life is brief

Mine also. I was going to joke and say "I'm a Loser" But "In My Life" fits all of us who live in The Villages.

The Beat Brothers were just another of those back up bands that didn't attain much success. They would never amount to being another Tony Sheridan. Just four guys from Britan tring to make a few bucks in Germany. Although I did hear that they did have a hit or two.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfRs0-hPbhA]With One More Look At You/Watch Closely Now - Barbra S. - YouTube[/ame]

With one more look at you
I could learn to tame the clouds
And let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past and I might start anew
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize

Refresh these tired eyes

With one more look at you

I might overcome the anger

That I learned to know

Find a piece of mind I lost so long ago

Your gentle touch has made me strong again

And I belong again

For when you look at me

I'm everything and more that I had dreamed I'd be

My spirit feels a promise

I won't be alone

We'll love and live more

Love and live forever

With one more look at you

I'd learn to change the stars

And change our fortunes too

I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too

So all the world might share this wonderous sight

The world could end each night

With one more look at you

With one more look at you

I want one more look at you

Are you watching me now?

Watch closely now

Your eyes are like fingers

Touching my body

Arousing me so

I'm riding the passion arising inside me

How high can I go?

You're coming with me: I'm gonna show you how

And when it's scary, I won't look down


Are you watching me now?

Watch closely now

I see the hunger arise in your eyes

And it's urging me on

Higher and harder and it's faster and farther

Than I've ever gone

Your pleasure is part of the secret

Of flight that I found

When I feel like an eagle

My soul has no place on the ground

Born out of madness

I'll double the danger with no net at all,

If you don't look away I'm secure

In the fact that you won't let me fall

Watch closely now

Are you watching me now?

I'm the master magician

Who'll help you escape

From the lies you've been told

When they're breaking your back

Bring the last straw to me

I turn straw into glod

I break chains made of boredom that others have lived with for years

I leave good news on doorsteps

And laughs where there used to be tears

I'm gonna need you later

When you're not around

But I can take it

I won't look down

Watch closely now

Are you watching me now?

Watch me now

Are you watching me now?

Are you watching me now?

Like that one. I cannot really think of one song that sums up my life in the Villages.

We saw the Annie production in Los Angeles about 30 years ago. Excellent.
