Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul (born August 20, 1935) is an American politician who has been the U.S. Representative for Texas's 14th congressional district, which includes Galveston, since 1997, and a three-time candidate for President of the United States, as a Libertarian in 1988 and as a Republican in 2008 and currently 2012. He is an outspoken critic of American foreign and monetary policies, including the Military–industrial complex and the Federal Reserve, and is known for his libertarian-leaning views, often differing from his own party on certain issues.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Paul is a graduate of Gettysburg College and Duke University School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree. He served as a medical officer in the United States Air Force from 1963 until 1968. He worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist from the 1960s to the 1980s, delivering more than 4,000 babies. He became the first Representative in history to serve concurrently with a child in the Senate when his son Rand Paul was elected to the United States Senate for Kentucky in 2010.
Alan Greenspan (/ˈælɨn ˈɡriːnspæn/; born March 6, 1926) is an American economist who served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006. He currently works as a private adviser and provides consulting for firms through his company, Greenspan Associates LLC. First appointed Federal Reserve chairman by President Ronald Reagan in August 1987, he was reappointed at successive four-year intervals until retiring on January 31, 2006 after the second-longest tenure in the position.
Greenspan came to the Federal Reserve Board from a successful consulting career, holding political views influenced by Ayn Rand. Although he was subdued in his public appearances, favorable media coverage raised his profile to a point that several observers likened him to a "rock star". Democratic leaders of Congress criticized him for politicizing his office because of his support for Social Security privatization and tax cuts that they felt would increase the deficit. The easy-money policies of the Fed during Greenspan's tenure has been suggested to be a leading cause of the subprime mortgage crisis, which occurred within months of his departure from the Fed, and has, said the Wall Street Journal, "tarnished his image".
Be my, be my baby
Yesterday, I was watching the turning tide, of a memories of a changing shore line
Otherwise, was nevermore. Life was different, you closed the door
Still in all my heart is true, there's no forgetting you, what can I do?
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Memories, change with every passing day, change with every word you stay
Lost in love without a trace, find myself, in a different place
Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find a way, come back to me
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Now the flame is burning, but the fire is gone
This love that's haunting me, but I still push on
You touched controls, and they're moving me
And I can't break away, no.
Solo
Today, I sat and watched the setting sun, sit and think of only love,
A distance shore, a far away, restless heart so hard to tame
Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find you're way, come back to me
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Girl, don't you close your eyes and walk away
Let me down and just fade away, oh, girl.
Don't you feel those things you do, don't you feel those things you do to me,
Oh, yeah, I said girl, girl, yeah
What you've done, don't you feel those feelings there
