RealKedah - one letter posts like that are not acceptable, they’re meaningless spam. Maybe a refresher on the RMB Rules is required.

"Oleo" - Cactus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd04Ve9gO7M

I was up this morning
Rocking with the rising sun
I was up this morning
Rocking with the rising sun
Cause I got to find my baby
And all the wrongdoing she's done

Well I should've known she'd leave me
I should've known she'd slip away
Well I should've known she'd leave me
I should've known she'd slip away
Too bad woman's like that
Be greasy both night and day
I handle it night and day baby

Well I miss that woman
And Lord knows I love her so
Well I miss that baby
And Lord knows I love her so
She's my greased-down mama
And I call her Oleo
Oleo that's what I call her
Grease me

Well I was up this morning
Rocking with the rising sun
I was up this morning
Rocking with the rising sun
Cause I got to find my baby
And all the wrongdoing she's done

Well I love that woman
And Lord knows I love her so
Well I miss my baby
And Lord knows I love her so
She's my greased-down baby
And I call her Oleo
Oleooooo

"The Court of The Crimson King" - James LaBrie · Carmine Appice · Steve Hillage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ytm8HQ3CtA

The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue

For the court of the crimson king, aah
Aah, aah

The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
With insufficient schemes
The black queen chants the funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch

To the court of the crimson king, aah
Aah, aah

Aah, aah
Aah, aah

The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower
I chase the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
The orchestra begin
As slowly turns the grinding wheel

In the court of the crimson king, aah
Aah, aah

On soft gray mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance

In the court of the crimson king, aah
Aah, aah
Aah, aah

I'm not done with new music.

"Gonna Need Someone" - Ringo Starr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r0NthMLvtQ

Hard to feel when you can't love
Hard to see when you've given up
Getting lost like a big black dog
Chasing down old memories
The ones buried underneath
Retribution for the cause

Gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love

It becomes the overkill
Leaving all your love in the dust
Breaking down on the way
No one left for you to trust

Gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love

[Bridge]
Black dog in the rain
Black dog in the rain
Black dog in the rain

You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love

"Payback Time" - The Fabulous Thunderbirds (featuring Billy Gibbons)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRBCTe4kfW4

Watching her
Strolling in the night so white
Wondering why
It's only after dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light burns bright
Wondering why
It's only after dark
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I'm knocking on the devil's door, yeah
In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
And the note
Says, "Only after dark"
Burning, burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she'll be back and rule again, yeah
In my heart
A deep and dark and lonely part
Wants her
And waits for after dark
After dark
After dark
After dark

New Deep Purple song.

When it came to me one day in Jerksville
Man, I was right on the edge
And that jacket's too small for a man of your size
And those socks are too big for your head
My eyes glaze at whatever you say
I'm listening, do tell me more
It goes under the bridge, right over my head
And out through my portable door
I was trapped in a dire situation
Between reason and someone-in-law
The winner takes all and runs off with the ball
Nothing could pleasure me more
Times were, I'd have spoken my piece
For a minute or two held the floor
But I can't get a word in, so here I am hurtling
Right out through my portable door
The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad
For once in my life, I am bored
The public house beckons, I follow the call
Slip in through my portable door
The unlikely event came upon me
I wasn't prepared for the shock
Once 'round my neck and twice 'round the deck
And the rest disappeared up the block
So here we are, and everything's changed
Faster than ever before
You gotta be joking, man, what are you smoking?
Blow it out through my portable door

Somerville, Pernice Brothers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_q9RrAQb8

I'm sick of the cynical
I'm sick of the fashion show
The vapid and overblown someone someone tells me I ought to know
I wouldn't stay around if the money let me linger on 'til the end of December
And waste another year like a minute, trying to forget, 'cause I remember my home

I left there with bitter words
I'll go back with cap in hand, and launder the bed I made, hurtful things said, and pick up where I began
The penny lost its shine
Dirty ankles on the promenade in rubber flip-flop sandals
Give me back the rags, the neurotic and the sweet lament, 'cause I can't handle it

I'm gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to Somerville
Show her around the neighborhood, re-case the place and settle down

Gonna take a lover
Gonna take her back to Somerville
Don't care if she's pretty as we leave Suck City

Yep. More new music.

"We Stay Loud" - Mandoki Soulmates
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq179GC9ahs

Alright,
we’re rewinding, we’re reloaded
for restart, we stay loud!
full circle to our past
back where we come from

bang it out!
and stay loud!

Like a ticking clock in the midnight fog
drown in a silent dialog
painful avant-garde
revenge of analog

so bang it out!
and stay loud
and stay loud!

We’ve got what we wanted
but not we needed
there’s nothing we didn’t do
to make these dreams come true

bang it out!
and stay loud!

Naked strangers, paradise
black tie devil’s masquerade
this is no peaceful resistance

no love parade
I don’t care about extra time
Just faith in this fickle life
Let’s swim against the current

Be different!
Let’s bang it out!
and stay loud!
stay loud!

Alright, we’re rewinding, we’re reloaded
for restart, we stay loud!
full circles to our past
back where we come from

bang it out!
and stay loud!

Like a ticking clock in the midnight fog
drown in a silent dialog
painful avant-garde
revenge of analog

so bang it out!
and stay loud

so bang it out!
and stay loud

so bang it out!
and stay loud

stay loud!
