| Hey swimmer, this is where you give us a little bit more of a hint, maybe a few more lyrics. |

sorry jason. not an iota.
try these (not too hard)
1. She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost
2. Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade
3. Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes dark, relentless, frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Be left a blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight
4. I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
1,2 and 4 should be easy.
3 is a toughie!
should keep you lot busy!
cheers

One from the collection...
Another lonely night, a nameless town
If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around
'Cause I know I can always count on you............
Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But you're the only sure thing that I've found
No matter what I do I'll never lose...........

| Do not ask me why I thought of this. But I wondered if the Rodeo song is universal or is it only known to Canadians? Probably only Canadians hey? |
