Yes, I know what the site says, and I read it the first time you sent it.  I 
have a friend who is a HUGE Parrott head, and she has both CD versions.  One 
with the 11th hidden track, and one without it.

The name of the song is "That's What Living Means to Me" from the album 
Heat, 1988

That's What Living is to Me
by Jimmy Buffett
Jason Mason hears a sound
A whistle blows in Congo town
And the mail boat's in, the mail boat's in<...here's the line
It brings him things from oh so far
Old magazines and snickers bars
A simple man, a simple land
The world's too big to understand
  Be good and you will be lonesome
  Be lonesome and you will be free
  Live a lie and you'll live to regret it
  That's what living is to me
  That's what living is to me
On a timeless beach on Hispanola
A young sips a diet cola
She's worlds apart, worlds apart
The spirit of the black king still
Reverberates through Haitian hills
He rules the sea and all the fish
What if he had a TV dish?
In some far off regions the foreign legions
Keep the thieves and the predators at bay
While closer to home some bad boys still roam
The streets aren't safe but give it one more day
One more day . . .
The stories from my favorite books
Still take on many different looks
And now I'm gone, home again
The time has come the walrus said
And little oysters hide their head
My Twain of thought is loosely bound
I guess it's time to Mark this down

Re: [SaF] Song Title?

OKI did some research.   This song was a hidden track on some, but not 
all, of the CDs by the name of 'Hot Water.'  Most of the CDs had 10 tracks, 
and only a few had that hidden track named "That's what livin' is to me"

Oh, and it was a live version.

I looked on Napster, and all I found were tracks 1-10.  NO ONE had track 11.

Man, what a bummer.

Thanks anyway, Peace. After much ferreting about I finally found a site
with **all** the lyrics to everything Buffet ever wrote at:

http://www.cobo.org/glc/index.html

This in turn leads one to album listings and lyrics for each and every song
written and recorded. Apparently the one I'm looking for is from the 1988
CD "Hot Water" and it's the last cut - "That's What Living Is to Me".

The first verse is:

Jason Mason hears the sound 
The whistle blows in Congo town 
**And the mail boat's in, mail boat's in** 
Brings him things from oh so far 
Old magazines and Snicker bars 
A simple man, a simple plan 
The world's too big to understand

Thank you to all who had a go at this.

Yes, that is the song, and from what I can find it is sung by Whigfield, a
female solo artist.
I can't find a clip of the song any where, I'll have to do some more
searching at home.

Thanks for the help everybody.

Thanks simon, that's a great link.

I hope this technology continues to evolve and more people start using it to
encourage competition and push the technology farther.
