RESCUE
I know a man who died for his country
But it's probably not quite what you think
Paul was a rescue worker at ground zero
And when he went he was imbibed with drink

You see he drank himself into a stupor
A hundred grand in the hole with medical bills
His country said he had a pre-existing condition
And wouldn't help him cure his ills

For they never asked him for his help
Since He showed up on his own accord
Then He got sick like so many others did
And so this is his reward?

All he got was this song by me
No medal of honor, no key to the city
All he got was a cold shoulder's tarn
Chronic bronchitis and first degree burns

All he got was a name and a date
On a stone that his parents paid for
All he got was a slap in the face
For following the advice of JFK and other great
leaders who came before

---

The lesson I learned is keep walking
The next time you hear a cry for help
As this voice in my ear keeps on talking
Let us go before we fall victim ourself..

I'm here, I'm there
I'm everywhere
Building bridges across the world
Well my boat floats
But everybody gets soaked
The captains floored
Just ignore it
Throw away your rain coats
And hop on board

I'm here, I'm there
I'm everywhere
Building bridges across the world

I walked in and the band was playin' Dylan
So I grabbed a drink and started chillin'
Tonight {struck: I'll call} this place my own
Tonight I'll call this place {struck: ✿} my home
Tonight is what life is all about -> {struck: Take all the bad}
{struck: Because} {struck: and block it out!}
Sometimes life can be so damn depressing
Those deep, dark feelings that there's no surpassing
Sometimes you just have to give yourself a chance
To hear a song, to get up and dance
To just live in the moment
To just ride the wave
'Cause once it starts flowing
It'll take you away
I've had too many days staring at the ceiling
Within the confines of my room
Just holding my head as I was kneeling
Felt like someone broke in and my soul was stealing
Waiting to live just like an unborn child inside
I felt like Ulysses S. Grant inside the womb
But I'm still living {struck: ..} of his tomb...
And I'm still breathing
Get me out of my shell
Just give me a reason
Make one up if you have to
Get me out of my shell

Go away, Don't go away
I don't need you any more
Fly away, Don't fly away
I just opened up my arms
I just opened up the door
Go away, Go away, Go away
Don't go away
(Chorus: 1st 5 lines)
Fly away, come back and stay
I just opened up the door
May be we'll meet up again some day
Should never try to cage the wild
clinging to a teddy bear
clutching like a child
Go away - Don't go away
I won't waste today
like I wasted yesterday
Go away
Go away
Go away

PEABODY & LYNNFIELD WEEKLY NEWS

Ninth Annual Peabody Golf Day

paraphernalia, I looked good.
Broome explained with a big grin while enjoying a hearty meal after the round, "I'm going to have to go home and tell my wife I have been playing well with my irons. I stayed in the middle of the fairway, but I couldn't putt to save my life."
"This is my second year playing the course. It's a great time and it's a chance to meet your neighbors."
Unfortunately, Broome had to let his next-door neighbors win because he had to ride home with them.
"As I said," he said, "Maybe I should have tried to win because it's only a 15-minute walk."

Broome considered this to be the opportunity of a lifetime for any golfer.
"Many friends of mine who I tell about this and that I should move to Peabody just to play this year, well, he said.
Credit has to be given to the Salem Country Club for generating, reaching out to the community.
"We feel very special that we can be involved in the community affairs within Peabody," said Robert P. McCormack, president of the club. "Not that we were the reason, but I understand that now the cities of Beverly and Salem are doing the same thing as us."
McCormack also praised the man who has been behind the organization of Peabody Golf Day.
"Over the past nine years, Joe O'Boyle has gotten the whip out and he's asked these volunteers to help out to make this day a success," McCormack said. "The commitment will always be there for the Salem Country Club to do our part to be part of the community of the city of Peabody."
Commitment to the community is the driving force behind the fundraiser.
"Back in 1995, we were celebrating our centennial just as the city was celebrating their bicentennial," explained the 83-year-old O'Boyle, a Salem CC member since 1967. "I was part of a committee that was brainstorming ideas for how to celebrate the club's centennial. Having a big mouth, I suggested that we try to do something community-related and the committee thought that was a great idea and they elected me chairman.
"We're going to put $21,000 in the bank from this year's tournament, so we're up to $184,000 [overall], and what we do is pay out the interest every year to the students so that if something happens for some reason and we have to discontinue the tournament, the students will still be able to benefit."
In addition to the scholarships, the club picks up all of the costs for the event, ensuring that every nickel goes to

the community.
The Mayor of Peabody, Mike Bonfanti, does not golf, but was one of those attending the luncheon.
"I was here today to honor the two young people being given scholarships and also to show support for Salem Country Club for the good work that they do in having the Peabody Golf Day, which benefits the residents in two ways: to play golf on a private course and also to raise funds for the kids," Bonfanti said. "It's a win win situation."
The recipients of the George Memorial Scholarship Fund were Jessica Cyr and Jesse Correia. Cyr will attend the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth while double majoring in Portuguese and Political Science while Correia will be enrolling at Merrimack College.
"I had a great day as usual," added Peabody resident Tom Moran, who has played in all nine Peabody Golf Days.
"It's a great course and I can't say enough about it. We're lucky to be able to take advantage of it. It's nice of the club to do it for us and the kids."

FACTS TO HELP YOU HELP YOURSELF
SCAR TISSUE
Injuries, no matter how minor, heal with scar tissue.
Excessive scar tissue formation may lead to muscle stiffness,
limited range of motion, spinal misalignments and chronic pain.
To an active, athletic person, this means compromised performance
be it golf, tennis, biking, skiing or whatever your activity.
Chiropractic adjustments, in combination with Active Release
Technique (or ART), is a highly effective approach to reducing
scar tissue and increasing overall health and performance.

Well, its not who you know its who
you don't
If you never see it will you ever do it?
I bet you wont
Hide in the shadows
Hide within the cracks
Hide because if they catch you
You're probably never coming back
Run when you hear footsteps
And don't forget to pull down the
shades
And definately lock the door
You know that they been comin' 'round
here for days
and days
and days

All dark and depressing thoughts fade away
I sense the voices but I can't hear a word they say
Yeah, I hit rock bottom - but that was yesterday
Evil thoughts, yeah I fought em, Now I'm livin in a brand new day
Now of course I still sing the blues
I still tell the stories but they're not my shoes
And though I might not win
At least now I know I'm not gonna lose
And I did it all by my self
Without any help from you
And now I've found someone else
Someone who'll see me through
I said hello to her
Once & said good bye to you

I spent a week inside an empty room
Just to see if I could take it
I built a house in the middle of the woods
Just to see if I could make it
I spent another week inside an empty room
Just to see if it would break me
I cut my arm only to watch it bleed
Just to see if anyone would take me

Just my luck right back here
Exactly where I didn't wanna be
Thought of my cross as too much to bear
If not for the nails then I'd be free
that
I would have thought that religion (with OLD widened to: that
I would have thought religion - found once)
would have at least asked my name
Another outcasted pidgeon
who thought that only doves play the game

G G to E
The more I get to know myself
The more I'm falling in love
Should I give thanks to Charles Darwin
Or to the Lord Above?
No matter, for later
Be it Adam & Eve or an alligator
I'm god's gift to evolution
To any problem I'll find a solution

8 While others stand without their hands of their pockets
8 Sadly walking with their heads down

8 I'm searching for one special face amongst the crowd
8 though I mistake for
8 From a distance I saw someone that sticks out

13 Songs
My own father wants me to get a steady
nine to five
Buy a little house with a white picket fence
to Raise a family collect social security
Become a corporate slave 'til they put me in
my grave
And this is what he answered when I asked
him why:
He said son you're getting kind of old
To put your all faith in rock n' roll
I think it's time you give something else a try
But dad I feel it in my soul
It's out of my control
I may be living in a dream
But it's this dream that's keeping me alive
Aren't you a little long in the tooth
To still be going that route?
Every body grows up
Everyone gives in
This was his reply
Pop, haven't you heard (Little Bird) (Last cup of
Coffee and (Let Down)
Oh that's right... You were gone on your
business meeting out of town
How about (Unity) (Water flesh and Bone
or (In the pouring Rain
Oh that's right... you were a thousand miles
and a thousand miles away on a plane
---
and a thousand miles away on a plane
He said son that's not fair of you
to say that to me...
Someone's got to pay the bills and feed
the family
I said dad that might be right for you
But what if it doesn't work for me?

My music is my legacy
I didn't choose it - it selected me
Sure it might be a dead end
And it might be a war
But it's the only thing I have
That's truely mine and worth fighting for

And to give in and to give up
After so many years
Honesty, honestly never again
would my eyes be at loss for tears
I have to see this thru
this is the promise I made to myself the other day
yes, I can see your point of view
But so I guess there's nothing more to say
Here's to my failure
or success

FIRST YOU BECOME A
READER...
THEN YOU BECOME A
BELIEVER...
THEN WE ALL GET TOGETHER
...
Decide what we gotta do
to make this world
better

This is a new song my latest hit
I didn't want to write it
But I don't know how to quit
I found the time to pen this rhyme
During my self-exhile from the house
After I screamed bitter words of anger
When I should have stayed as quiet as a mouse
Now I'm a king without a castle
A husband missing his spouse
What was once buried so deep
Finally found its way out
As it seems that the preacher who was teaching
Had no idea what he was talking about
And I believed his every word
Listened to all of his lies
Somehow I {struck: turned} changed the happiest girl in the world
Now she's got tears running down her eyes

Secret room
I have turned the knob that opens up a door
to a secret room that doesn't have a floor
Where the walls are bare and there is just
a folding chair
Floating in both space and time and on
it reads a sign
That states: This is the thrown to a Kingdom
which awaits any man who creates
A way to rise up above the fray
And reach the seat hanging below this archway
for he is the next protege who can free this world
from its everpresent pain, block out
the sun, turn off and on the rain...

Your big brother even tied the bows on your shoes
But your getting now sonny boy

Maybe then you'd understand why when my
name gets mentioned people usually say

Life is 10 percent what happens
And 90 percent how we [crossed out: xxxxxx] deal with it

Some people save lives.
Others live to save coins

I see a rose with its thorns

My inspiration is fleeting

My head is so deep in the sand
I know how to say hello in Afghan,
Iraq, Iran and Pakistan

Oh the pain
Oh the humanity
When a man
Loses his sanity
Especially when that man is me
And I'm lacking a family
One that could potentially

From all you corporate kids
Who've thusfar failed to see
There's is more than just negative energy
Coming from your cries of Me Me Me
Surely it's no surprise {struck}
that we'll see {struck} worse than hurt {struck} pride
If we just let things be
{struck: Since we're} in those of us in the know
Will get swallowed whole
By the status Quo if we don't go
And tell everyone we know
That there's something better
waiting down the road...
Just what... I can't wait to
see...

Now I pray to take away letters from your mailbox and your name! / Sometimes without warning comes the hurting / From laughing too much inside

IF YOU EVER LISTEN TO OUR SONG / Someday after
I have gone
It's like I never left you...
But if you wallow in pity & misery
With every thought you think of me
Just know I'm sorry to have upset you

There's only one way to [?]
Stop loving you...
And that's for me to say goodbye
I've been asking around and
[?] it seems to be true...
Never seen so many
[?] hearts
or men who have cried

And I thought...
I was gonna be different
So I fought...
And lost [?] in
Love's war

I'm a Rhode's Scholar
of the soul
Got a PhD in Rock n'
Roll
Everyone that reads
{struck: seems to agree}
(at least secretly)
that I {struck: am the man}
Put the "man"
in human ity,
So... Yeah...
it {struck: it} feels good to
be me
I admit that
surely and freely
That there's a few
who'd like to be me
{struck: }Mostly those who
find beauty
in the quietness
of the soul
{struck: Benca} For it's in the
forrest and the trees
where one can go
and still find
peace - that's where
those in the know
know where I'll be.

When you forget then I forget
When you remember I turn my head
Away in [?] shame as I gaze up
Candle light flickers - ...
As my eyes tear up

Sitting here and holding you
Learning life's lessons - a new point of view
Yet I'm alone or so it seems
Inside your mind [?] you see
All these unlived dreams

It's not me who you want to be with
You wish to run free - like a little kid
I'm a mother - same as the Earth
Whose {struck: [?]} {struck: second} greatest ever joy was giving birth
To a baby boy who'll I'll always put first

You could have been second
Had you given me just a little more time
I impatience again is what wrecked it
And yet just like I expected to find / {struck: Sabotage}
Sabotage
It was just another case of
Sabotage by design

We are the New Rome / The legions are cheering killing /// Oh... this is what we call Entertainment... when in ages past there'd be mass crying

One hundred percent genuine
Lyrical gold is what you'll find
I'm the creator of worlds
And I mold mankind

When they see my face
People form a line
To see one of the greatest
of all of time

Yes, I'm the best
A living legend
Within my own mind
I'm the king of rhyme

No, I never rest
In playing pretend
Now I can do it
Without even trying

see my face
one guy says high
yeah I'm pretty good
sometimes I'm awake other times I day dream
I can be fake sometimes real
sometimes I hide the truth
sometimes it gets revealed

word of bronze
see me keep walking by
Okay I suck

let the truth be heard
I can no longer kid myself
I'm no better than anyone else.

I just lost another dealer
I coulda stopped after I copped
a cheap feel
and all would have been forgiven
But of course - I mounted the horse -
which means I didn't
So thus I {struck: for} ve just been questioned
Almost damn near arrested

First we took a drink / And then the drink took us / And we used to drive ourselves / And now we take the bus

Imagine a prejudiced kid
Slowly uniting the races
Yeah, I've kept some of my {struck: [?]} feelings hid
In regards to people's faces
Sure, I could speak of what I've thought or did

I'm a democrat... held a sign that said Obama / Finally a black cat... with no baby mama drama /// Bill Clinton saw Michelle / he said hubba hubba / But that's just bubba being bubba

Free Masons want to rule the world
But I can't say I really blame them
Bilderberg wants control over all the earth
{struck: these ruthless lions no one can tame them}
The illuminati believe they're the only souls of worth
For what they strive is either feast or famine
Such a tangled web of truth and lies
Who can't we trust? Let us {struck: make our last} name some names and examine ...

He holds the power... to relieve pain
He holds the power... to heal the lame
He holds the reigns
God stands above you... [scribbled out]
He doesn't love you... says Let it rain

for forty days and forty nights
God got real pissed yet I'm not sure why?
Hellfire and brimstoned every thing in sight
Blacked out the sun
so now we have no light
Left everyone here swimming for their life
Now [?:] the water getting cold and turning to ice
[crossed out word] left everyone here swimming around
Smoke in their eyes From all the shit he hurld down

Thought I'd get to live for another Fifty years
Really thought he loved me but the fucker doesn't care
Thought I heard a cry for help but it's really hard to hear
Just another little kid crying his eyes filled with
smoke and tears

Ah that's better now I can't hear him any more
Little sucker sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor
Now I'm sure alot of you are thinking that that's not
fair
Think of the bright side he'll have a lot of friends
to play with down there

She melts carbon
steal when ever
she walks by
Take over your
mind when she
doesn't even try
{struck: When she smiles}
{struck: Meanwhile}
She could end a war
just by her smile

Meanwhile, her
Nick named for me is
EYE CANDY for
the blind

They let me hold a gun
'Cause I'm good at serving power
They said shoot anything that runs
As they placed me in this tower

Finally a job that's fun
[crossed out text] They said they pay by the hour
Used get cash per metric ton
But when they lost money their faces soured

Guess that's about what you'd expect
From a peasantry gone crazy
Due to mistreatment and neglect
