Hey all, I'm doing some research on one of or erlier, very active members "Tampa Stan" Good. I've tried searching fro his lyrics but am coming up empty. Is there a way to search that I'm missing? Whenever I put Stan Good into the search bar it comes up with reviews that use the word "good" in it.
Any assistance or suggestion is appreciated.
Thanx
Midnite

Folksy-Funky Blues, Bob Dylanesque Vocals...

USED t' Flash Some THIGH.. & Now You FLASH-A-Frown, You HAVEN'T Flashed a SMILE Since this WHOLE THANG Cooled DOWN-- I'm TIRED of "COLD PO-TATOES" (Yeah!) I Wanna "HOME-COOKED MEAL!" Hey HONEY, THIS Ain't RIGHT (That Wasn't PART OF THE DEAL!)
(BRIDGE) I WORK Each DAY BRING You HOME My PAY Then YOU Take The LOOT..And SCOOT--
Well, Baby, It Ain't RIGHT I Stay LONELY At NIGHT, With ALLA Your SWEETNESS.."VAMOOSED!"
(VERSE) What Started Out SWEET You KNOW..It's Gettin' TART Our Lovin' Flame's DE-RANGED BY That ICE In YOUR HEART... I'm Like a CON-DEMNED PRISONER Who Gets..NO.."LAST MEAL!" Hey, HONEY, THIS AIN'T RIGHT.. This WASN'T "PART-Of-THE-DEAL"
(TAGS) While OUR LOVE's Headin' DOWNHILL I Watch You GREASIN' The WHEELS!... Hey Baby, This AIN'T RIGHT (That Wasn't PART OF THE DEAL!)---
So HONEY, GET CLOSER Tonight.... (REMEMBER..."SEX-APPEAL?"...) The WAY you Been DOIN'..Sure AIN'T RIGHT That WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL...
Thanks, John. Is there a way to search going back through the years?...He was quite the prolific one, wasn't he? orking on a play about his clock shop and thoght tossing in some of his own songs might be fun.

Depends on what forum you click on. I clicked on the first Lyric Forum and got over 900 pages. Next to each forum you'll see the number of pages in that forum. Top right will show the pages. You can also set it to go back to any number. I went back to 600 pages. It will also show the year the page was on.

Havin' avoided "Love Lyrics" quite a-While, I got this, I think, kinda Universal Angle this AM, appreciate your Comments.
I'm filled with Uncertainty Like a Cloud, It covers me Since that Day..You Said "I Do" I Wondered if This was.."Too Good to be True"
Now Years have Passed, We're Still In Love But I have to Ask..To Get Enough Sometimes..You're Never in The Mood But when You Are..Is It.."Too Good to be True?"
(CHORUS) Am I Just Being Tolerated? Or..Am I Appreciated? When I'm Makin' Love..with You?
Am I bein' A Bother? Or..Do You Have..Another? Sometimes Love Seems Like it's Too Good to Be True....
(BRIDGE) This Isn't what Everyone Said it Would Be So Many Times..Uncertainty There's Reassurance..in Your Arms But So Many Times..They're Far from Warm
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(OUTRO CHORUS) Am I Bein' Tolerated? Or am I Appreciated? When I'm makin' Love with You...
How Come You're Always Tired When I'm at My Most-Inspired? Sometimes Love seems like it's Too Good To Be True.....
(TAG) Sometimes Love seems like.. It's..Too Good to Be True----
(ADD) Baby, Tell Me if It's... Too Good to be True....

Musicated Stan's great anthem. Considering the subject matter, it had to be Death Metal--but since whatever I do comes out country, it's probably Country Death Metal. Just a draft, here--the band'll hear it this weekend. (That's an acoustic guitar doing all the parts, by the way.) It's on my "Wrabek's Works In Progress" page, link to which is:
And the lyrics follow, as usual. Thanks, Stan, for the opportunity to play with this.

Reminiscing is what humans do. Don't you reminisce Fde?
Yea lol. But whom are they reminiscing with?
Come to a site were 10 active people who don't even know him, and say " yeah im not here cause I care sboit Brian's site, im here to ask people out loud about stans lyric, ...
When a private message or email would done the trick.
And actually, if it were reminiscing, John, that be fine .
Unless this is his way of shaking up the old team, I dunno.
But if your lurking and seeing how dead the site is, don't care about Brian enough to try and help build it back.
Not sure what that makes you.
And you must know others are lurking too to make an announcement
Hey John. Yeah, I've got the stage play with Stan out front of his clock shop with Bertie, an ancient grandfather clock that's right twice a day and a mechanic named Manny who is lamenting the loss carberators as a rollerblader swings by while delivering food to an office worker down the block and I wanted to blend in a few of Stan's lyrics...It's just a side project, but it's fun track down Stan' old stuff.

The part of the story that's starting to make sense, is that the old members had strong friendships. Little by little some have died, some have left for Facebook, so the remaining ones come here to read.
It reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode, I think there was an actress clinging to her time as a Hollywood star, I forget the premise.
But yeah, it makes absolutely no sense to come here, where non of those members are still here, a couple msybe, and talk about Stan as if he's a household name.
Bizarre for sure,.
He would have no interest in anybody else, cause his mind is set on that old group.
Hes definitely one of the many people here reading.
I think they are all waiting for the return of any or all members, like the second coming of Jesus.
I mean, im sure theyd pass the rorschach test for mental health, and don't have any major maladies.
But its almost as if we are supposed ro jump on board and say...yea yeah give me Stans lyrics lol
The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine" (Season 1, Episode 4), which originally aired on October 23, 1959. It stars Ida Lupino as Barbara Jean Trenton, a faded 1930s Hollywood actress who lives in the past by obsessively watching her old films.
Key Details of "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine": Plot: Unable to accept aging and her faded fame, Barbara refuses to take modern "mother" roles. Escapism: She spends all her time in her projection room, surrounded by stills of her younger self. Ending: She escapes into her own movies, physically entering a world where she is young and beloved forever.
Theme: The episode, written by Rod Serling, focuses on the dangers of living in the past rather than facing reality.
Another episode featuring time travel to the past is "No Time Like the Past," but "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine" perfectly fits the Hollywood actress scenario.
