Come to think of it, Gord doesn't have any lawyer songs! There's a judge and a jailor in DonQ, but I refuse to be one of the "wise and wicked ones who feed upon life's sacred fire." LOL.

I am certainly asking to be raked across the coals here, but "I'd Rather Press On." Can you think of any Gord lyrics that describe lawyers? Other than "Beautiful" and "Fine As Fine Can Be"?

2Much2Loose,

Could you have asked a more challenging and
difficult question?!

In the meantime, while I search like crazy
for an answer and trying to catch up to your
"off the charts" I.Q. I'll be pretending to
be away on vacation in Katmandu until I come up with an answer for this one.

OK!

But this is not for really fine attorneys, such as yourself! So don't be offended! It's for the "ambulance chaser" variety lawyers.

"I'll Tag Along"

off to Katmandu, now, *poof*!

Or the song about the untimely appeal, "It's Too Late, He Wins." And paying off an unfavorable judgment, "Bitter Green."

ROTFLMAO. You guys are great! And Char, maybe you are "Beautiful" because you were a lawyer in a previous life? LOL (email coming to thank you more fully than I can here).

How about, "I never was a thief"? (if not "Beautiful" I must be that Same Old Loverman!)


Never Say Trust Me - get it in writing!

Momma said "Son be your own big gun!"

This is all fine until someone says, "He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew!"

2Much2Loose:

Are ANY lyrics of Gord's acceptable even if
they were to refer to those not so ethical lawyers? Because I have a WILD one, but I need a permission slip from you first! Until then,.....I must say no more....

still hiding out in Katmandu, but "Rangoon"
is my next destination!
