    "Going to California"

    Spend my days with a woman unkind
    Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
    Made up my mind, make a new start
    Going to California with an aching in my heart
    Someone told me there's a girl out there
    With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

    Took my chances on a big jet plane
    Never let 'em tell you that they're all all the same
    Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
    I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
    The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
    As the children of the sun began to awake, watch out

    Seems that the wrath of the Gods
    Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow
    I think I might be sinking
    Throw me a line if I reach it in time
    I'll meet you up there where the path
    Runs straight and high

    To find a queen without a king
    They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la la la la
    Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
    Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
    Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams
    Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems, mmm huh-uh

    She's got everything she needs,
    She's an artist, she don't look back.
    She's got everything she needs,
    She's an artist, she don't look back.
    She can take the dark out of the nighttime
    And paint the daytime black.

    You will start out standing
    Proud to steal her anything she sees.
    You will start out standing
    Proud to steal her anything she sees.
    But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
    Down upon your knees.

    She never stumbles,
    She's got no place to fall.
    She never stumbles,
    She's got no place to fall.
    She's nobody's child,
    The Law can't touch her at all.

    She wears an Egyptian ring
    That sparkles before she speaks.
    She wears an Egyptian ring
    That sparkles before she speaks.
    She's a hypnotist collector,
    You are a walking antique.

    Bow down to her on Sunday,
    Salute her when her birthday comes.
    Bow down to her on Sunday,
    Salute her when her birthday comes.
    For Halloween give her a trumpet
    And for Christmas, buy her a drum

    mine's definetly Mexicali Blues / Grateful Dead ... if this song isn't my life, i don't know what is.

    Laid back in an old saloon, with a peso in my hand,
    Watchin’ flies and children on the street,
    And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile,
    There’s a little boy who wants to shine my feet.

    And it’s three days ride from bakersfield and I don’t know why I came.
    I guess I came to keep from payin’ dues.
    So instead I’ve got a bottle and a girl who’s just fourteen,
    And a damn good case of the mexicali blues. yeh!

    Is there anything a man don’t stand to lose,
    When the devil wants to take it all away?
    Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze,
    Cause thinkin’ and drinkin’ are all I have today.

    She said her name was billy jean and she was fresh in town.
    I didn’t know a stage line ran from hell.
    She had raven hair, a ruffled dress, a necklace made of gold,
    All the french perfume you’d care to smell.

    She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear,
    Go on, my friend, do anything you choose.
    Now I’m payin’ for those happy hours I spent there in her arms,
    With a lifetime’s worth of the mexicali blues.

    Is there anything a man don’t stand to lose,
    When the devil wants to take it all away?
    Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze
    Cause thinkin’ and drinkin’ are all I have today.

    And then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law.
    Billy jean was waitin’ when he came.
    She told me he would take her, if I didn’t use my gun,
    I’d have no one but myself to blame.

    I went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind.
    I guess that stranger hadn’t heard the news
    Cause I shot first and killed him, lord, he didn’t even draw
    And he made me trade the gallows for the mexicali blues.

    Is there anything a man don’t stand to lose
    When he lets a woman hold him in her hands?
    He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark
    Just ridin’ and runnin’ across those desert sands.

    I'm not from here
    I just live here
    grew up somewhere far away
    come here thinking I'd never stay long
    I'd be going back soon someday

    it's been a few years
    since I got here
    seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go
    crowds assemble, they hang out awhile
    then they melt away like an early snow

    onto some bright future somewhere
    down the road to points unknown
    sending postcards when they get there
    wherever it is they think they're goin'

    I'm not from here
    I just live here
    can't see that it matters much
    I read the papers and I watch the nightly news
    who's to say I'm out of touch

    nobody's from here
    most of us just live here
    locals long since moved away
    sold the played-out farms for parking lots
    went off looking for a better way

    onto some bright future somewhere
    better times on down the road
    wonder if they ever got there
    wherever it was they thought they'd go

    hit my home town
    a couple years back
    hard to say just how it felt
    but it looked like so many towns I might've been through
    on my way to somewhere else

    I'm not from here
    but people tell me
    it's not like it used to be
    they say I should have been here
    back about ten years
    before it got ruined by folks like me

    we can't help it
    we just keep moving
    it's been that way since long ago
    since the stone age, chasing the great herds
    we mostly go where we have to go

    onto some bright future somewhere
    down the road to points unknown
    sending post cards when we get there
    wherever it is we think we'll go

    If I leave here tomorrow
    Would you still remember me?
    For I must be travelling on, now,
    There's too many places I haven't seen
    And if I stayed here with you, now
    Things just wouldn't be the same
    Well I'm as free as a bird now,
    And a bird you can not change.
    And a bird you can not change.
    And a bird you can not change.
    Lord knows I can't change

    Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
    And though this feeling I can't change.
    Please don't take it badly,
    The Lord knows I'm to blame.
    And, if I stayed here with you now
    Things just wouldn't be the same.
    For I'm as free as a bird now,
    And this bird you'll never change.
    And the bird you can not change.
    And the bird you can not change.
    Lord knows, I can't change.
    Lord help me, I can't change.

    Yeah, man! Freebird rules.

    If I had to pick a theme song, as I already did it'd be "More than a Feeling" and "Bad Company". These songs just express me.

    for me,now, it's this-liigua....
    that's a finnish song from Värttinä, a group with amazing women chants..;)
    so there's also a translation,it isn't exact,but the basic is there

    Tahtoisin tasaista miestä, liigua liigua miestä mielehistä
    kuletella komiaista, liigua liigua komiammanlaista
    Vaan en löydä lemminkäistä, liigua liigua lemmenlohdullista
    komiaista kulkemahan, liigua liigua viereen kulkemahan
    Tahtoisin tasaista miestä, liigua liigua miestä mielehistä
    kuletella komiaista, liigua liigua komiammanlaista

    Tuomikosta tuomen, tuomen torkian
    Varvikosta virven vihannomman



    Vaan en löydä lemminkäistä, liigua liigua lemmenlohdullista
    komiaista kulkemahan, liigua liigua viereen kulkemahan

    Sain suolta suovariksen, aijalta ajoharakan
    lepän pökkelön lehosta, haapakannon kankahalta
    Tervaskannon tien kylestä, katajaisen kuusikosta
    pihkapölkyn pellon päältä, käpykämmin kiven alta

    Suostuin suolavaivasehen, liigua liigua suolavaivasehen
    rajakenkähän rakastuin, liigua liigua rangaton rakastuin
    En kätehen saanut kultaa kulkemaan
    En kätehen saanut kulkemahan

    Mitähän minäkin mietin, liigua liigua mietin mielessäni
    ketä kurja toivottelin, liigua liigua toivoin tosissani
    En kätehen saanut kultaa kulkemaan
    En kätehen saanut kulkemahan

    I want a man to be my match, a man who pleases me.
    I want him to be handsome; he needs to have the looks to walk beside me.
    But I can't find a lover, can't be satisfied.
    I found a bird-cherry twig and a sappy green sprig,
    but I can't find a lover, can't be satisfied.
    I met a crow in the marshes, a magpie on the fence;
    I found a block of alder and an aspen log,
    I found a pine stump by the road and a juniper in the woods;
    I found a fencepost where the field ends and a cone beneath a stone.
    But the one I accepted was a destitute fellow,
    and the one I fell in love with walked in worn-out shoes.
    Now, whatever could I have been thinking,
    who was I really wishing for, who did I hope would come?
    I never found a sweetheart to walk hand in hand with me.
