There will come a time 
When I no longer am
I will take my last breath
And on that day
I'll be dying

At that time will I feel at ease
Will I dream and be at peace
These are things that no one knows
Come on help me now           

It's Getting OK Now - 311

Slump,
Thanks for that Be Bop Deluxe link.
You are right about that smoke machine   - and the roadies for OK Go!

Leaping back to the 60s:

Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough
What else can you show me ?

Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough
What else can you show me ?

It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)  --  Bob Dylan and a great cover by Roger McGuinn for the film "Easy Rider"


Let's expand on the okay and include alright  Ok? Alright?   

Watching her walking
Like watching a flame
Trying to forget her
Don't mention her name
And I'm alright now
Yeah, I'm alright now     

Watching her walking
Like watching a flame
Trying to forget her
Don't mention her name
And I'm alright now
Yeah, I'm alright now     


Speak Of The Devil - Chris Isaak



I've spent my life travelin'
I've spent my life free
I could not repay all you've done for me

All Right For Now - Tom Petty. Good idea, Slip

Let's move before they raise the parking rate 

"All Right Now" - Free

"And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way..."

Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees. Morning there, Wilbbuuuurrrr!

Nobody worry 'bout me
Why ya gotta give a fight
Can'r you just let it be 

Nobody worry 'bout me
Why ya gotta give a fight
Can't you just let it be

I'm Alright  --  Kenny Loggins


Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need    

Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need    

Saturday Night's Alright - Elton John

DIAPER!!!!

Is that really you?
It's been awhile! How are you? We've missed you around these parts!

Next:
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key.

Felin' Alright - Joe Cocker


That those foo9liosh kids can't be ready
Foer the love that comes their way 

 

That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way

Well All Right  --  Buddy Holly


Oh, I've been thinking about my life
What's been wrong and what's been right
Some say that and some say this
Some say no and some say yes 
  
   

Oh, I've been thinking about my life
What's been wrong and what's been right
Some say that and some say this
Some say no and some say yes

Alright Alright Alright - Mungo Jerry

Yeah, I'd say that one qualifies for this theme!

I guess it's time to use my all time favorite song:

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

Thunder Road  --  Bruce Springsteen   What a great song!  I feel that the longer "live" versions, when Springsteen is playing acoustic guitar or the piano, make this song even more powerful.


Well, now my mama she done told me, papa done told me to
"Son, that gal you're foolin' with she ain't no good for you"     

That's Allright Mama - Elvis Presley

You're lookin' kinda lonely girl
Would you like someone new to talk to, yeh allright
I'm kinda feeling lonely too
If you don't mind can I sit down here beside you, yeh ellright

You're lookin' kinda lonely girl
Would you like someone new to talk to, yeh allright
I'm kinda feeling lonely too
If you don't mind can I sit down here beside you, yeh ellright

Sharing the Night Together - Dr Hook

Thunder Road  --  Bruce Springsteen   What a great song!  I feel that the longer "live" versions, when Springsteen is playing acoustic guitar or the piano, make this song even more powerful.

I totally agree, Cobra. VERY powerful lyrics.
I also love the Unplugged version that he did with Melissa Etheridge back in the 90s.

Next:
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Make me feel alright

You're alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

You're alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Still crazy busy in the wheat fields, but had to sneak in here for a 'quickie'  

Wow, Rhino.......you may have found the song with alright in it the most times!

Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Make me feel alright

You're alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

You're alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

I've Been Working  -  Van Morrison

Now to:

A band we loved in Memphis--in fact one of their album covers is a photo of the crowd at the Overton Park Shell in Memphis.

Next lyrics (connection is in the song title which is repeated several times in the lyrics):

Well thunder bolts
Can't keep me away
You give your love
To which I pay


The lyrics are searchable, but I'll also include a youtube of the song--it has a pretty cool guitar riff in it.
