[Peter Bro10]

Once again to delve deep into a Lightfoot tune!!! Thanks for the thread Anthony.

I've often thought of this tune, and it's a catchy one for me, and thought of the "drinking connections".

boiled down, I"ve considered a song of hope... of loves (lifes) return and such....

As for whether Mr. Lightfoot is an alcoholic or not is entirely his business, as is my alcoholism mine. The difference is that Mr. Lightfoot is a celebrity, and should maintain anonymity, if he is an AA member. (remember it's Alcoholics Anonymous! with emphisis on Anonymous.)

But try to bear in mind that when it comes to alcoholism, willpower and resolve really are meaningless... It's about a "Higher Power" and "fellowship", and things like that. I don't speak for AA, but as a member, active in the fellowship for 27 years... I know what I'm talking about.

But back to the tune... It is sometimes frustrating for me if tunes, like this one, are too deep for me to figure out. But it makes for good theads on Corfid!!!!! ha ha.

Don't forget to lighten up now and then....

just for giggles I'll paste the lyrics below ---


Salute (A Lot More Livin' To Do) (Salute) 4:22

Listen mister I won't waste your time
I hope all the mistakes you made were a lot like mine
Lovin' girls too much sometimes they made you cry
Maybe we've got more livin' to do with a lot less pain
Here, let's drink to you

These are the words I knew would break the ice
I held my hand out and he shook it twice
It seemed to me like I'd been here before
Deja vu, familiar voice
And the salute of my choice

Salute gentlemen of days gone by
Ladies of leisure and of flashing eye
May some romantic fool turn on your light
As for me I'm in between
All that I can do is dream

You got a lot more livin' to do
And a lot more lovin' too
When you make it through the night with no end in sight
And the dawn peeks through
You got a lot more livin' to do

Salute nightingales upon the tide
Brothers of the cloth tonight who must be tried
May all of your martinis be forever dry
As for me I'm in between
All that I can do is dream

You got a lot more livin' to do
And a lot more lovin' too
When you make it through the night with no end in sight
And the dawn peeks through
You got a lot more livin' to do
And a lot more lovin' too
You got a lot more livin' to do
And a lot more lovin' too


Now try to figure out Biscuit City!!!!
