say that there isn't. Why don'tyou come on back to the war.
That's right getting in. Why don'tyou come on back to the war.

(15:46):
It's just beginning. When I livehere with a woman and a childish situation
makes me kind of nervous. YearsI rise up from her arms. She
says, I guess you call thislove. I call it service. Why

(16:07):

don't you come on back to thewar before? In her time? Why
don't you come on back to thewall. That's all getting nervous. You

(16:33):
can't understand what I become. Youmuch prefer the gentleman I was before.
I was so easy to defeat,I was so easy to control. I
didn't even know there was a war. Why don't you come on back to
the war. Don't be embarrassed.Why don't you come on back to the

(17:00):
war. You can still get married. There is a war between the rich
and poor, a war between theman and the warman. There is a
war between the left and right,a war between the black and white,
a war between the heart and theeven. Why don't you come on back

(17:26):
to the war, pick up yourtiny burden. Why don't you come on

back to the war. You hearme speaking my name, It is not

(18:08):
thing my agent means. Lands.The country I come from is a part
of the Free West. I wastaught and brought up there. It's lost

(18:29):
to abide and that the land thatI live in has God on its side.
Oh, the history books tell it, They tell it so well.
The cavalry is charged, the Indian'sfair, the cow I've always charged,

(19:03):
then then stared, for the countrywas yard with God on its side.
Oh. The First World War itcame and it went. The reason for

(19:30):
finding I never could get, butI learned to accept it, accepted with
pride, for you don't count thedead wind. God's on your side.

(19:52):
And then the Second World ward itcame to him. We forgive the Germans
and now we are friends. Gothe murders, its men in the ovens.

(20:15):
They fried the Germans now to haveGod on their side. But now
we have warvens of camy gold dust, and if fire them, we're force

(20:41):
too. Why then fight them?We must one push off far and I
shot the worldwide, And you neverasked questions when darts on your side?

(21:03):
Any along, I fall honess thatJesus Christ was retreat back kids, But
I can't think, for you willhave to decide whether Judas his sky had

(21:30):
bought on his side. And nowas I leave you, I'm weary as
hell the confusion I'm feeling. Thereain't no tongue can tell. The words

(21:56):
fill my head, drop to thefloor that have gone on our side.
He'll stop the next wombo. Thesunlies in the field. Someone has killed

(22:41):
some another sun today as then loveb somesoulders gone, while the mother's side
way, the mother sun coming summer, the sunny god down. Two sondiers

(23:10):
fighting in a trench. One soldierglances up to see the sun and dreams
of gains he bade when he wantsyou, And then his friend calls it

(23:33):
starts to dream that as it isa second later, mother sunlies in a
field back o bay for his bigchild mans a friend. But all day

(24:00):
soldiers look the same. Why areto me the ch coming home from school.
Some mother sun is lie, someoneis crying, someone is trying to

(24:33):
be so bright. That's study.I gotta lie. Some mother sun lies
in a field, but in hismothers eyes is the same the picture some

(25:18):
mother's mam. Wow, there weresome powerful songs in that set with some

(25:42):
outstanding songwriting. That was The Kinkswith Some Mother's Son from their album Arthur
Parentheses or The Decline and Fall ofthe British Empire, often referred simply as
Arthur. It's their seventh studio release, released in nineteen sixty seven, and
that is a killer record, whichI say about just every Kinks song and

(26:06):
every Kink's record that has Changar Lawon it, and it's it's a good
one. Boy, does Ray Daviesknow how to write a song? And
before that another powerful song entitled withGod on Our Side, which is a
Bob Dylan penned song that was writtenin nineteen sixty four and released on Bob

(26:26):
Dylan's album The Times They Are AChange in that version was covered by Manford
Mann on their ap The One inthe Middle nineteen sixty five, and I
just loved the piano on that andwow, those lyrics that's a tear jerker.
Before that, we had Leonard Cohenwith there Is a War from his

(26:48):
album four studio album, New Skinfor the Old Ceremony, released in nineteen
seventy four. And Wow, LeonardCohen, another powerful songwriter, ned by
a song simply entitled War from BobMarley and it first appeared on his nineteen
seventy six album Rosta Mann Vibration.That was his eighth studio album released in

(27:14):
seventy six, and it was hisonly top ten album in the USA.
So if you liked anything you heard, I highly recommend exploring all those records.

(51:19):
Orleans. At the end of theEarly British Wars, a young man started
growing, the young blood started blowing. But I am a merchant anymore.
For a kiln share of vengeance anda thousand different fights, I was there
at a little big horn. Iheard many mettle I and I saw many

(51:43):
more and I in But I ama merchant anymore. It's always the old
to lead us to the wars,always the young to fall. Now look

(52:04):
For? I stole California from theMexican land. But in the bloody
Civil War, yes, I evenkilled my brothers and so many others that
I had a merchant anymore. ForI marched to the battles of the German
trench in a war that was bound. When all warms, Oh, I

(52:29):
must have killed a million man,and now they want me back again.
But I ad a merchant anymore.It's always the old to lead us to
the wars, always the young toall. Now look at alway want we're
the same Errand the gun jill isn'tworth at all. For I flew the

(52:52):
final mission in the Japanese guys setoff the mighty mushroom roar. When I
the city's burning, I knew thatI was learning that I an't a marchin
anymore. All the labor leaders screamingwhen they close the missile plant, United

(53:13):
Fruit screams out the Cuban shore,call it visa, call of treason,
called it labor, call it treason. But I at a marchin anymore.
I ain't a margin anymore. Lovedoes all doesn't send the suns you master,

(54:02):
get that play, says the wallba death, And then bring the
boy fall bring the bars on,bringing bars and brings to tire the ships,

see them trying crying your hold?Try She saw all the bad, the

(55:10):
man, my friend, the mothat I came, breaking boys, break
breaks, the bay back the time, trying to ho capt sitting try try

(56:09):
try breaking, break breed. Doingthat was Free to Pain with her nighteen

(57:00):
seventy one single Bringing the Boys Home. Before that, we had a debut
artist here at rabbit Hole Radio,Phil Oaks with his song I Ain't Marching
Anymore from his first official LP release, All the News That's Fit to Sing,
That was recorded in nineteen sixty fourand released on Electra Records. If

(57:24):
you ever see anything on electric recordElectra Records. Also Doors were put out
on Electra Records a host of othersRhinoceros and buy it well, it'll be
an eye opener for sure. Beforethat, we had Neil Young with a
live performance of his classic nineteen seventyrecording of Ohio about the massacre in Kent

(57:49):
State. Before that, we hadCredence Clearwater Revival one of my faves with
their nineteen seventy song who Will Stopthe Rain from their break a huge album
Cosmos Factory in nineteen seventy On thatone. For that, we had the
Darlings from San Francisco, The DeadKennedy's with Holiday in Cambodia released in nineteen

(58:13):
eighty from their album Fresh Fruit forRotting Vegetables. Although not so much of
the era when the Vietnam War wastaking place, I think they captured the
spirit of things. And before thatwe had Where Have all the Flowers Gone?
That was originally written by Pete Seegerin nineteen fifty five, and that

(58:34):
was a beautiful cover of Where ofAll the Flowers Gone? By the Kingston
Trio. And like I said earlier, that one's dedicated to my friends Claudette
and Alice and their classmate in collegeDave Guard, who was a founding member
of the Kingston Trio. So sadlywe've reached the end of the show.
