In response to Seth Jackson's article ...

Well, by god, this has fairly driven me mad!!  What ARE the lyrics after

   It's a lesson to me ...

In touch of gray??  SOMEBODY HELP!!!!


Now, I have a guess at the ... keroseen... verse (albeit not complete):

   ????     keroseen
   He can read at seventeen
   The words he knows are all obscene
   But, it's alright


As for Day Job, I also have a guess ...


   Steady boy starting that eight day hour
   Never underrate that paycheck power
   Now that you know that the face on your dollar
   Got a thumb to his nose and a hand on your collar
   Which is to say, hey, hey, hey.

Part of the problem here is that, especially with Garcia, the order of the
lines to the newer songs get switched around a lot.  For instance, the above
sometimes starts:

   Never underrate that paycheck power
   Steady boy starting that eight day hour

Day Job and Touch of Gray are notorious for this.

Anyone else have better suggestions for these?  Lets hear it!
