I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall Yes I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall Long John they call him, and he answers every call Well I went to Long John's office and told him the pain was killin' Yes I went to Long John's office and told him the pain was killin' He told me not to worry, that my cavity just needed fillin' He said "when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine" He said, "Yes, when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine Cause ev'ry woman just can't stand the pain" He took out his trusted drill And he told me to open wide He said he wouldn't hurt me But he'd fill my hole inside Long John, Long John, you've got that golden touch You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much When he got through, he said "Baby that will cost you ten" Yes when he got through, he said "Baby that will cost you ten Six months from now, come back and see me again" Say you're supposed to see your dentist 'Bout twice a year, that's right But I think I feel it bobbin' Yes I'll go back there tonight Long John, Long John, don't ever move away Say I hope I keep on achin' so I can see you every day.

Yes, I've been listening to the Bob Dylan show on XM.

"...But I think I feel it bobbin'..."
Are you sure you've got that right? Seems like "throbbin'" would make more sense.

No, it's correct, but the Bette Midler version says "But if it ever starts in to throbbing..."
So there you have it.

I'll give this a try. I just heard this song and saw the video for the first time last night on Youtube. Johnny Cash is basically calling his whole life an empire of dirt and that in the end everyone goes away. It was very moving to me.
JOHNNY CASH
"Hurt"
I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything
[Chorus:] What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here
[Chorus:] What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way

I Get Wild/Wild Gravity
Fooled around enough with numbers Let's not be ourselves today Is it just my imagination Is it just someone's fave Pleasantly out of proportion It's hard to hold on to the ground Now I didn't come to run And this is everything And gravity lets you down
I get wild, wizing up I just can't let go I get wild when I get ready I can hardly talk Living lights Special lights Yellow turns blue I get wild It's automatic I can hardly move
Go ahead and pull the curtains Check to see if I'm still here Let me lose my perspective Something worth waiting for Somewhere in South Carolina And gravity don't mean a thing And all around the world Each and ev'ryone Playing with a heart of steel
I get up climbing out How did I get home? I'll survive the situation Somebody shut the door Beautiful Beautiful Climbing up the wall I get by on automatic No surprise at all
No one here can recognize you Here is ev'rything that you like Feelings without explanations Somethings are hard to describe The sound of a cigarette burning A place there where ev'rything spins And the sounds inside your mind Is playing all the time Playing with a heart of steel
I get wild, wizing up I just can't let go I get wild when I get ready I can hardly talk Red 'n' white black to gold Yellow turns blue I get wild It's automatic I can hardly move
I get up pushing up How did I get home? I'll survive the situation Somebody shut the door Shut the door Shut the door Climbing up the wall I get by on automatic No surprise at all

I have watched you on the shore Standing by the ocean's roar Do you love me do you surfer girl Surfer girl surfer girl
We could ride the surf together While our love would grow In my Woody I would take you everywhere I go So I say from me to you I will make your dreams come true Do you love me do you surfer girl Surfer girl my little surfer girl
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl

and in regards to my signature:
If there is a god, the smashing pumpkins
If there is a God I know he likes to rock He likes his loud guitars And his spiders from Mars And if there is a God I know he's watching me He likes what he sees But there's trouble on the breeze Who are you this time? Are you one of us flying blind? Because we're down here throwing stones While you're so far from home And if there is a God He's a spy with bedroom eyes And covers in our sky Who are you this time? Are you one of us flying blind? Because we're down here throwing stones While you're so far from home And If there is a God If there is a God
If there is a God, I know he likes to rock.

Holding on to the Earth
If I close my eyes I'm afraid I won't wake up If I stop and listen I'm afraid I'll hear too much
Trying to hold on to the earth Holding on for what it's worth
I've got a long black Cadillac Marble hot tub in the back Champagne waterfall Solid gold question mark twenty feet tall
Try to paint a world of shapes Over the holes as were falling The tightened grip is our mistake As we're trying to hold on to the earth
Looking for his name Wet on brave lips carved on road Look for flame and mercy Hope that tired hands can hold

For warmongers everywhere:
Masters of War
Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins
How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead

You know how it's sometimes difficult to actually understand the lyrics?...
I know! And isn't it interesting how they usually are fairly easy to understand on record (Dylan, Cocker, etc), but live on stage it's nearly impossible?
I've seen Dylan live twice now, and he could really be saying anything on stage and I wouldn't know the difference. Good show, tho.

I'm a Lumberjack
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch I go to the lavat'ry On Wednesdays I go shopping And have buttered scones for tea
I cut down trees, I skip and jump I love to press wild flow'rs I put on women's clothing And hang around in bars
I cut down trees, I wear high heels Suspendies and a bra I wish I'd been a girlie Just like my dear papa
