Hey fellow PHs and RMers...I'm compiling a list of songs for the ipod from songs I've heard on RM and I'm stuck on 3 of them...any help would be appreciated on who sings the songs and the titles!! Songs as follows:

1) Lyrics go "So if anyone asks you don't have to lie, life's too short to work all the time." and I think they sing "Manny's gone fishing in the middle of the week".

2) Lyrics go "(something) forces of nature"...and "no matter which way I look, here comes a storm, yeah, it's just like a storm"...toward the end of the song, the singer is talking about the girl walking out and he says something to the effect "like when that door closes and you know she's gone and she's not coming back"

3) The final song I thought was either Jim Morris or Sunny Jim, but I can't find it...it's an upbeat song and the lyrics include the lines "rum is flowing all day", "sail away", "too many dues to pay" and "life is happy always" (not sure if he says always or alway or something else).

Thanks again!!

By the way....if you hear a song on Radio Margaritaville, or any other Sirius station, use this link to find out what it is....

Sounds like "Sail Away" by Hanna's Reef

You guys ROCK...Thanks so much for the info. I'm down to one last song...#2 above. If anybody can assist, please let me know. Thanks again...appreciate the help!!!

#2 sounds like the Larry Joe Taylor song calle Heart of the Matter...I think.

Hope these lyrics are close:

Heart of the Matter
by Larry Joe Taylor

The heart of the matter
Is the heart don't matter at all
And the charts don't tell you
That there ain't no safe port of call
I could stand some pleasure with the pain
And I could take some sun with the rain

Predicting the forces of nature
Is like predicting a woman's behavior
No matter which way I turn
Here comes the storm
Oh here comes the storm
Yeah just like a storm
It feels like a storm

There was a time
When I thought I knew just what to do
There was a time
When I thought I knew you
But your peace of mind seems to be so hard to find
More nautical miles seems to be the answer for mine

It's like when you're sitting on the back porch
And you look out to the west
and you see the storm clouds start rolling in
And you know no matter what you do
There is nothin' you can do to keep that storm from coming
It's the same when she's walking out the front door
And she's got her suitcase in her hand
When that car door slams
She's leavin' and there ain't nothin' you can do about it.

Here comes the storm
Oh here comes the storm
Yeah just like a storm
It feels like a storm

When I left the island
Man, my heart was on fire
So I bet my future
On the light of St. Christopher's star.

Thanks much...that is it...you hit it on the head!! Thanks again to all for their help!!
