Rows of lights in a circle of steel
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel.
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round;
Everybody's in step with the season.

--"Circle of Steel" by Gordon Lightfoot

Here is the steeple
Open the doors
And see all the people

Don't want no short people 'round me.

Only want to make you weak enough to crawl.

We'd hear it from the people of the town,
They'd call us
"Gypsies, tramps, and thieves."

And the people all said,

Cherokee people! Cherokee pride!
So proud to live;
So proud to die.

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in

Two sleepy people
By dawn's early light
Much too much in love to say good night

(Carmichael/Loesser)

Deborah in IL said...

Everyone I've ever known has wished me well
Anyway that's how it seems, it's hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how you're doing
Because that's easier than letting on how little they could care

Ellen (nursescrubs) said...

Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love

Faces look ugly
