Lyrics:
ain't much of a livin' for the young
The desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how
Words and music by John Lawry and John Elefante
Based on Psalm 17:15
In the likeness of You
Recreated, renewed
Let me awake forever
In the likeness
Monk's Dream
(as sung by Carmen McRae)
I dreamed of a life that was pure and true.
I dreamed of a job only I could do.
One man beside me, we'd be
roll mercenaries
Soldiers of fortune by some other name
I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
Money is power, 'n' power is fame
Everything

The youngest of three siblings
The only boy so the women's lib thing
Was not a big thing
At least for me
My oldest sister a feminist

I had gotten frozen by the way you walked
By the love that you gave, by that look on your face
It's a cover up, I know everything

They say he's always alone, he rides a horse with no name
His only friend was the devil by his side
desire
This is my desire
Follow your name
The fame lives here
Follow it through the winds
The fame lives here
In the universe we find the food
Days by days
you one now.
Listen Wendy and listen Gloria,
This'll be better tomorrow.
Fortune and fame's such a curious game.
Perfect strangers can call you
Georgie Fame
Oh, I heard him one night quite by chance
Now wherever I'm walking, I dance
And London is not quite the same
'Cause when he sings, the city
Once I had fame
Oh I was full of pride
Had lots of friends
Always here right by my side
Well my fame oh it died
Now my friends all try to hide
From mountains high to valleys low
They speak the name of Jaimie-O
Who with his pa
went searching for that gold in
Old California by riverboat
You live upon a stage, and everyone's agreed
You're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see
So when you take the limelight you can guarantee
I want the world around me
For it to be gone
And it to be free
Dead in the brain
Is your claim to fame
I live by the sound

All the other birds are flocking 'round her
She is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Representing the great church

And they bought his name
Now he looks down from a suite
At the silver limo parked out on the street
And he's not just
heard of
People who worked and suffered
And struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some
Who suffered in vain

Wherever I go they mention my name, and that in itself is some sort of fame,
Come by for a drink, we're having a game,
Is the power in my hands
This baby grands
Been good to me
I've had friends
But they have slipped away
I've had fame
But it doesn't stay
I've

Once I was wading in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it
Once there was a mountain man who couldn't write his name
Yet he deserves the front row seat in History's Hall of Fame
He forgot more about
on the church with the steeple
Down by the village green
(La, la-la, la, la)
'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
And kissed her by the old oak tree

Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
