not sure how many Dylan fans are here ... To me, he is like an old friend and Im not that old.... Right now "Not Dark Yet" is playing and it is soooo beautiful. Gimme some of your favorite Dylan Songs and Lyrics "Shadows are falling and I've been here all day It's too hot to sleep time is running away Feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal There's not even room enough to be anywhere It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writing what was in her mind I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree I've followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear It's not dark yet, but it's getting there I was born here and I'll die here against my will I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet, but it's getting there." | ||

You Belong To Me See The Pyramids Along the Nile Watch the sun rise On a tropic isle Just remember darling All the while You belong to me... See the market place In old Algiers Send me photographs And souvenirs Just remember 'Til your dream appears You belong to me.... I'll be so alone Without you Maybe You'll be lonesome, too Maybe You'll be lonesome too And blue Fly the ocean In a silver plane See the jungle When its wet with rains Just remember Till you're home again Or until I come home to you You belong to me... | ||

My all-time favorite rhyming couplet in rock 'n roll is the bridge from "Masterpiece" (which, for some inexplicable reason, the Dead always left out when they covered the song) "Sailing 'round the world in a dirty gondola, Oh, to be back in the land of coca-cola" Only Dylan could get away with that and make it work. My other favorite Dylan lyrics? I don't think the server has enough memory for the whole list! Bill, tgo | ||

He covered so much ground Last one for now a verse from Changing of the Guards "Gentlemen, he said, I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes, I've moved your mountains and marked your cards But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards." | ||

While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have To stand naked. Bill, tgo | ||

The only problem with Dylan is not where to start, but, how do you finish? My band has played "Not Dark Yet" many times, the challange is to leave all that space alone. "Nashville Skyline" will always be one of my favorites. | ||

"I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was somebody else instead. Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy, I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory And all your ragin' glory." | ||

Hmmmmmm. Difficult decision, it would have to be pretty much anything he wrote. His best in my opinion would be I Shall Be Released, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, Don't Think Twice It's Alright, I'll be Your Baby Tonight, and Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues. Also, The Girl From North Country with Johnny Cash | ||

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again had been my #1 for a long time However I just recently saw Bobby and Ratdog perform "Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" and that has, for the time being, become the fave. Before that I had not ever heard of it. | ||

My favourite has always been 'Motorpsycho nightmare' from 'Another side of BD'. Wonder if it's based on a true life experience. graeme |
