Nut Meat
Why are the contents of nuts called nut meat?
Until about 1300 the term 'meat' referred to any solid food, and 'drink' to
liquid food. Around that year, ?meat? began to be used to refer to the
flesh of animals. It wasn't until later that the term took on its modern
meaning - when animal flesh started to become a significant part of the
English diet.

One love! one heart!
Let’s get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin’ (one love!);
Hear the children cryin’ (one heart!),
Sayin’: give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right;
Sayin’: let’s get together and feel all right. wo wo-wo wo-wo!
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love!);
There is one question I’d really love to ask (one heart!):
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?
One love! what about the one heart? one heart!
What about - ? let’s get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (one love!);
So shall it be in the end (one heart!),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right;
Let’s get together and feel all right.
One more thing!
Let’s get together to fight this holy armagiddyon (one love!),
So when the man comes there will be no, no doom (one song!).
Have pity on those whose chances grows t’inner;
There ain’t no hiding place from the father of creation.
Sayin’: one love! what about the one heart? (one heart!)
What about the - ? let’s get together and feel all right.
I’m pleadin’ to mankind! (one love!);
Oh, lord! (one heart) wo-ooh!
Give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right;
Let’s get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right;
Let’s get together and feel all right.

Johnny Cash / Girl In Saskatoon
I left a little town
A little south of Hudson Bay
I couldn't find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay
I fought the wind across the baren waste in the crystal doom
Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon
I'm glad I realized that no one could take her place
My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face
But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
South and West and following the cold December sun
I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done
Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon
A prodical returning to the girl in Saskatoon
Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
I made the final miles where the prairie lillies grow
The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
My journey was forgotten
When I held her in my arms
My wonderlust was stiffled
By possesion of her charms
And even beneath the steeple
Where we couldn't wait till June
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon

After The Rain
If I had my way
I would never go back
with my back to the wall
I just let myself fall
watch the daytimes turn black
but now and again I find
you cross my mind
If I was a train
I would never slow down
with my head in the sky
and the world going by
every nowhere town
as I write one more letter to you
I know I can't change the things that I do
one day
when you discover
just why I ran
ran away from you lover
I know I'm to blame
I feel so ashamed
call out your name
after the rain
what do you want me to do
I've thrown away everything for you
well I've wasted my dreams
each day it seems
I'm losing my way back to you
It's time for a change
what else can I do
the clock ticking time
I better make up my mind
is it me or is it you
yeah tonight as I'm losing control
I will drink to the queen of my soul
one day
when you discover
just why I ran
ran away from you lover
I know I'm to blame
I feel so ashamed
call out your name
after the rain...
