The Lie - W Ross Campbell "Why, t ell me why won't you take me along?" I heard a young man call He was speaking to a woman in a taxi-cab 'N' for a minute she said nothing at all But the woman wasn't crying, just shaking her head You could tell she was saying goodbye Then she turned and she looked right into his face And said "You never should have told me no lie!" (chorus ) For a lie is for someone you don't really know Or for whom you just don't care Any lover of mine's gotta tell me the truth If he lies, I don't wanna be there Yes a lie is for a stranger or an enemy Or a person who's putting you on But you lied to the woman who was sharing your bed And for that I'll be moving along II Well the man said "Baby, you can't leave now I don't know what I'd do I only lied for the sake of our love And I really do love you!" But the woman smiled hard and tapped on the glass And the taxi started rolling away She said "What kind of fool do you take me for? That's a stupid thing to say." (repeat chorus) Would you lie to your brother when he's counting on you Or your friend who's standing by? You don't lie to your helper, or your Mother who taught you not to lie You wouldn't lie to a blind man or a person who'd helped you to see So why in the name of Sweet Love, Babe, did you have to lie to me? (repeat chorus )

Danceable Love It's Not Over How do you feel as you watch your lover fly away on an international jet, not knowing when you might meet again? Mean words said in haste may ring in your head, along with Pangs of Regret. Future plans may Dissolve in a flash, and Uncertainty may pull at the Heart Strings. In amongst the Shock, Huge waves of Love & Loneliness may wash over you. It's Not Over 00:00 / 03:04 If you like this song, you can DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE HERE DOWNLOAD LYRICS This song was recorded live at Danceland, one of North America's last horsehair-sprung dance halls, built at Little Manitou Lake on the Canadian Prairies in 1927 to the day's highest standards. The dance floor holds 400 dancers, and is a separate structure resting on huge bales of horsehair, which allow the floor to give an inch or so to the beat of the band, while keeping the dancers' feet as fresh as a daisy. This mineral lake is great to swim in--- not only are the minerals good for your health, but because it has three & a half times the salt content of the ocean, you cannot sink.

Nutrition Don't Eat Nuthin' That You Can't Spell In Olden Times, those with least resources, or Peasants, were unable to afford bread made with refined flour, so "peasant bread" was rough & brown & necessarily whole-grain, which, ironically, provided the body with better nutrition than the over-refined white bread of the upper classes. Now, in our era of Corporate Consumerism , so-called Wonder Bread rules, no doubt contributing to our culture's "poor health outcomes". This song addresses this state of affairs, urging us to read product labels in search of preservatives, food additives & other chemicals with tongue-twisting names designed to maximize Profits, often at the expense of Consumers' Health.
