This is one of those songs that just gets to me every time I hear it. And I found a really cool video on the 'net where somebody put it to clips from Harry Potter, which I promptly put on my MySpace profile. LOVE IT!

"Waiting" by The Devlins

Waiting at the station,
Waiting for the right moves,
Waiting in the basement,
Waiting for the right cues,
Waiting in a daydream,
Waiting in the slipstream

Waiting...
Waiting in the right bars,
Waiting in the right shoes,
Waiting in a fast car,
Waiting in the airports,

Waiting for my air miles,
Waiting in slow motion,
Coming through the turnstiles.

And if you ever change your mind,
You know I'm hard to find,
And if you ever need someone...

I'll still be waiting...
Waiting with the orphans, waiting for the bee stings, they tell me that success brings,
Waiting in the half light, waiting for your whole life,
Waiting for an ideal...a low deal...a no deal, to play your stereotype.
And if you ever find the time,
You know I'm not far behind,
And if you ever need someone...

I'll still be waiting...
Just waiting for a friend
I say it's alright,
It's alright my friend...just waiting

When the Lady Smiles
(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)

When the lady smiles,
You know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips,
Go drawing circles in the night
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Every time it feels like the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin',
I hear it shatter,
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm a bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feelin' proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact,
She could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'cos I'm walking on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

My friends tell me,
She's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel,
That has got you hypnotized
And that always needs some more, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
She's done nothin' to mislead me
'cos every time we meet,
The earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin'
I hear it shatter , maybe it's rainin'
Faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feeling proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'cos we're walkin' on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo......

I�ve been singing this one to myself a bit lately� figured I might as well get it out�

I told every little star
Just how sweet I think you are
Why haven�t I told you?

I told the ripples in the brook,
Made my heart an open book,
Why haven�t I told you?

Friends ask me
Am I in love?
I always answer yes.
Might as well confess
If the answer�s yes.

Maybe, you may love me too
Oh, my darling, if you do
Why haven�t you told me?

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

Yesterday When I Was Young

Yesterday, when I was young,
The taste of life was sweet, as rain upon my tongue,
I teased at life, as if it were a foolish game,
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned,
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand,
I lived by night, and shunned the naked light of day,
And only now, I see, how the years ran away

Yesterday, when I was young,
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me,
And so much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see

I ran so fast that time, and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think, what life, was all about,
And every conversation, I can now recall,
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all

Yesterday, the moon was blue,
And every crazy day, brought something new to do,
I used my magic age, as if it were a wand,
And never saw the worst, and the emptiness beyond

The game of love I played, with arrogance and pride,
And every flame I lit, too quickly, quickly died,
The friends I made, all seemed somehow to drift away,
And only I am left, on stage to end the play

There are so many songs in me, that won't be sung,
I feel the bitter taste, of tears upon my tongue,
The time has come for me to pay,
For yesterday, when I was young

I Write Sins Not Tragedies
Panic! at the Disco

Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words.
"What a beautiful wedding!", "What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...oh

Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for, a toast so, pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne. ("yes")

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing
the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again...

I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!" No.
It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

This came on right after I got in my car to drive home from The House of Hot tonight, and I about peed my pants. I laughed SO hard. Very therapeutic.

"Bye Bye Bye" by *NSync (or however they write their name...)

(Hey, Hey)
Bye, Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye...
Bye, Bye...
Oh, Oh, Oh..

Hi, I'm doin' this tonight,
You're probably gonna start a fight.
I know this can't be right.
Hey baby come on,
I loved you endlessly,
When you weren't there for me.
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...

(Chorus)
Bye Bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Bye Bye
Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye

(Oh, Oh, Oh)
Hmm, just hit me with the truth,
Now, girl you're more than welcome to.
So give me one good reason,
Baby come on
I live for you and me,
And now I really come to see,
That life would be much better once you're gone.
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie,
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...

(Chorus)

I'm giving up I know for sure
I don't wanna be the reason for your love no more
Bye Bye
I'm checkin' out
I'm signin' off
I don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough

I don't wanna be your fool
In this game for two
So I'm leavin' you behind
Bye, bye, bye...

I don't wanna make it tough (make it tough)
But I had enough
And it ain't no lie (Bye, bye baby...)
Bye, Bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two (I don't wanna be your
fool)
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye, bye, bye...

Don't really wanna make it tough (I don't wanna make it
tough),
I just wanna tell you that I had enough (that I had enough).
Might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Bye, bye, bye
Bye bye

Steady, kids... �this is a long one:

Good Advice
Allan Sherman

I know a man named Otis who invented a room,
And his heart was filled with pride.
I said to Mr. Otis, "What does your room do?"
He said, "It goes from side to side."
So I said, "Mr. Otis, if you take my advice,
You'll be the richest man in town.
You gotta take that room that goes from side to side,
And make it go up and down."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� I sincerely doubt
� That the world could do without
� My good advice.

Sir Isaac Newton came around to my house one day.
His face was all sunburned and red.
He said he didn't want to sleep in the shade of a tree,
Because an apple might fall on his head.
I said, "Sir Isaac, you dumbbell, take my advice.
Go right back there and sleep beneath that tree.
And if you let that rotten apple fall down on your head,
Why you'll discover gravity."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� The world's a better place,
� Since I gave the human race
� My good advice.

A man named Mr. Waterman invented a tube.
He was sad because it sprung a little leak.
He said, "Darn it, when I hold my tube on a piece of paper,
The ink leaks out and makes a little streak."
He said, "I've gotta find a way to stop that leak.
I'll start working on my leakproof tube again."
I said, "Waterman, you idiot, don't stop that leak.
You just invented a fountain pen."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� I'm so worldly wise,
� I should get the Nobel Prize,
� For good advice.

Good old Henry Ford, he was a hardworking man.
He worked all night and all day.
I said, "Henry, watcha doin'?"
And Henry, he said, "I'm inventing the Chevrolet."
He said, "I've already built twenty-five models,
One for each letter from A to Z."
I said, "Henry, you fool, there are twenty-six letters in the alphabet.
He said, "Good heavens, I forgot the Model T."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� It's fruitful as can be,
� And it's absolutely free.
� My good advice.

Wilbur and Orville were two brothers named Wright.
The nicest pair of kids you've ever seen.
They worked twelve years on a secret project.
They thought it was a washing machine.
I said, "Fellas, what are all those wings for?"
They said, "For hanging clothes out to dry."
I said, "You fools, take that washing machine out to Kitty Hawk,
And see if the darn thing'll fly."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� I'm so smart that I'm
� Gonna win a Guggenheim,
� For good advice.

(One more time)
Benjamin Franklin was a charming old man,
He was always flying his kite.
One night I said, "Benjy, why ain't you out with your kite?"
He said, "Because it's raining tonight."
I said, "Benjy, sweety, you go right back out there,
And to your kite string tie a key.
This may shock you, Benjy my boy,
But that's electricity."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� I'll be fond of you
� If you'll only listen to
� My good advice.

Ooga Magoog was a Neanderthal man,
A very poorly educated soul.
He had a great big square thing made of solid stone,
And in the middle of it was a hole.
One day he had to go from his cave in Natchez
To his uncle's cave in Mobile.
I said, "Round off those corners
And buy a set of tires,
And Ooky baby, that's a wheel."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� Harvard offered me
� A Phi Beta Kappa key
� For good advice.

Sigmund Freud, he had an unfurnished house.
He was a very nosy fellow, so it seems.
He had no chairs,
So he made all his friends stand around all day,
And tell him all their secrets and their dreams.
Well, while they stood there talking 'till they got fallen arches,
They yelled, "My feet are killing me. �Ouch!"
I said, "Sigmund, don't you realize you've got a gold mine here.
Go out and buy yourself a leather couch."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� Every word you're told
� Will be 18 karat gold,
� That's good advice.

Alexander Graham Bell was building a fence
With some wood, and a long piece of wire.
He said, "There's something strange going on around here.
I keep hearing the voice of Uncle Myer."
I said, "Mr. Graham Cracker," (that was my little joke)
"With that wire you got the world in your palm.
Just get a mouthpiece, and an earpiece, and a piece in between,
And you'll sponsor The Telephone Hour."
� And that was good advice, good advice.
� Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
� Every word ya hear
� Is the message of the year,
� It's good advice.

Christopher Columbus was a seaman second class
When I told him that the Indies could be found
By sailing to the West instead of sailing to the East.
I advised him that I thought the world was round.
� (I really thought so.)
And then I sent him down to ask good Queen Isabella
To pawn her jewels for all their worth.
Next day he set sail, and as everyone knows,
He fell off the edge of the Earth.
� And that was bad advice, bad advice.
� Bad advice is just the same as good advice.
� Everybody makes
� Occasional mistakes,
� And that was bad advice.

DREAMER - OZZY OSBOURNE

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering if mother earth will survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

After all theres just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
Im hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time

Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or jesus christ
It doesnt really matter much to me
Without each others help there aint no hope for us
Im living in a dream, a fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away, today
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days, ok
Im just a dreamer, whos searching for the way, today
Im just a dreamer, dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

A few samplings from one of my favorite bands of all time--

DON'T STOP ME NOW

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out Yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time...

SOMEBODY TO LOVE

I work hard (he works hard) everyday of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (please)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE

There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock'n'Roll
She drives my crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax get hip!
Get on my track's
Take a back seat
Hitch hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I'M GOING SLIGHTLY MAD

I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh dear

MADE IN HEAVEN

When stormy weather comes around
It was made in heaven
When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
I wish it could last forever, yeah
Wish it could last forever, forever

ONE YEAR OF LOVE

Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah
My heart cries out to your heart
I'm lonely but you can save me
My hand reaches for to your hand
I'm cold but you light the fire in me
My lips search for your lips
I'm hungry for your touch
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Another hero another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore

The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

SAVE ME

The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love?...
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me save me save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me save me save me...
I'm naked and I'm far from home

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Too much sanity may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Perhaps to be too practical is madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is, and not as it ought to be!&&&&&&&&You looked at me...

"Barcelona"
Jewel

Barcelona where the winds all blew
And the churches don't have windows but the graveyards do
Me and my shadow are wrestling again
Look out stranger, there's a dark cloud moving in
But if you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
I'm afraid I am alone
Won't somebody please hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Fly, let me fly, let me fly
Super paranoid, I'm blending, I'm blurring, I'm bleeding into the scenery
Loving someone else is always so much easier
But I hole my self hostage in the mirror
But If you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
I'm tired of feeling this way
God, won't you please hold me, release me
show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Let me fly, let me fly
I won't be held down, I wont be held back
I will lead with my faith
The red light had been following me
But don't worry mother
It's no longer my gravity
hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Say you don't know me
Or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes
To that kind of place
Knee-deep in the hooplah
Sinking in your fight
Too many runaways
Heating up the night!

Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock & roll

We built this city
We built this city on rock & roll
We built this city
We built this city on rock & roll

Answer Me, My Love

Answer me
Oh, my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart

You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray
Please answer me, my love

If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer

You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love

I make pretty things.

Mixtape
Butch Walker

You say hello, inside I'm screaming I love you
You say goodnight, in my mind
I'm sleeping next to you
You drive away from my car crash of a heart
And I don't know

But you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you

You talk to him, and it burns me like the sun
You talk to her, and you say that you feel like he's the one
I talk to me, but you can't hear the pain I feel
You don't know

Cause you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the sad songs ain't so sad
I only wish that there was more than that
About me and you

[Bridge]
Oh, don't turn around and say bye again
Yeah it crushes my head when you call me
Your friend and I'm not the same person
From back in the day in the back of the class
That you thought was gay
No I can't find the words cause I lost them
The minute they fell out of my mouth
And it's love and I'm in it, so give me your lips
And just let me kiss 'em
And let's get messed up and listen to probably...

The best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

This song nearly always makes me weep when I hear it, no matter who sings it...although I enjoy the Jeff Buckley version quite a bit and I just bought the KD Lang version in sheet music. Closer to my range, that.

Anyway. It just kills me and I love it.

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord,
but you don't really care for music, do you?
well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth,
the minor fall and the major lift,
the baffled king composing--hallelujah.

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof--
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.
she tied you to her kitchen chair;
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before--
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you.
i've seen your flag on the marble arch,
but love is not a victory march;
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below;
but now you never show that to me do you?
but remember when i moved in you,
and the holy dove was moving too,
and every breath we drew was hallelujah.

well, maybe there's a god above,
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
it's not a cry that you hear at night,
it's not somebody who's seen the light,
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

hallelujah...

You have no power over me!

Ye have not applied your hearts to understanding, therefore ye have not been wise.

I have got to get myself out of this mood.

I'LL NEVER SMILE AGAIN
- words and music by Ruth Lowe

I'll never smile again
Until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do?
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through

I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

Pray tell WHY I feel inclined to listen to Nirvana on rainy mornings...ah, the 90's...where are my plaid shirts and dirty jeans?

"Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Nirvana

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

I totally dig this song right now. Snow Patrol is love. Song wins bonus points for referencing Sufjan Stevens, who is even more love.

Hands Open
Snow Patrol

It's hard to argue when
you won't stop making sense
But my tongue still misbehaves and it
keeps digging my own grave with my

Hands open, and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens

Why would I sabotage
the best thing that I have
Well, it makes it easier to know
exactly what I want with my...

Hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
that your heart opens

It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy

[x2]

Put Sufjan Stevens on
and we'll play your favorite song
"Chicago" bursts to life and your
sweet smile remembers you, my

Hands open, and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens

It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy

[x3]

"More Than Anyone"
Gavin DeGraw

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?

I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try

I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together, baby
Free together, baby

I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone

I'm going to love you more than anyone

"Who Loves You?" - Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons

Who loves you pretty baby,
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama,
Who's always there to make it right?

Who loves you pretty baby,
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama,
Who's always there to make it right?

Who loves you,
Who loves you pretty baby?
Who's gonna love you mama?

Who loves you,
Who loves you pretty baby?

When tears are in your eyes,
And you can't find the way.

It's hard to make believe,
You're happy when you're gray.

Baby when you're feelin' like,
You'll never see the mornin' light.

Come to me,
Baby, you'll see.

Who loves you pretty baby,
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama,
Who's always there to make it?

Who loves you,
Who loves you pretty baby?
Who's gonna love you mama?

Who loves you,
Who loves you pretty baby?

And when you think,
The whole wide world has passed you by.

You keep on tryin',
But you really don't know why.

Baby when you need a smile,
To help the shadows drift away.

Come to me,
Baby, you'll see.

Who loves you pretty baby,
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama,
Who's always there to make it?

Who loves you,
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?

Who loves you,
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?

Baby,
Baby,
Doot-doo-doot.

Come to me,
Baby, you'll see.

Who loves you pretty baby,
Who's gonna help you through the night?

Who loves you pretty mama,
Who's always there to make it?

Who loves you,
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you?

Who loves you,
Who's gonna love you, love you?
Who's gonna love you

ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE
(Alan J. Lerner - Frederick Loewe)

What a day this has been what a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face for the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be like a bell that is ringin' for me
And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling swear I was falling almost like being in love

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

"I'll Never Fall in Love Again" - Burt Bacharach

What do you get when you fall in love?
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That�s what you get for all your troubble
I�ll never fall in love again
I�ll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she�ll never phone ya
I�ll never fall in love again
I�ll never fall in love again

Don�t tell me what it�s all about
�cause I�ve been there and I�m glad I�m not
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I�m here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I�ll never fall in love a- gain
I�ll never fall in love a- gain

I thought i had posted this song, but I dont see it. It's very me today.

"Breathe Me"
Sia

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is there's no one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me

Ouch, I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah, I think I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me

I Can't Get Behind That
William Shatner and Henry Rollins

(BILL: Let's go. Ready? From the top.)

BILL: My favorite shows on TV have twelve minutes of advertising. I can't get
behind that kind of time!
ROLLINS: Eat quickly. Drive faster. Make more money now! I can't get behind
that.
BILL: My kids say: He said to me, and I'm like... and he's like... and she's
like...
ROLLINS: It's all... He's all... She's all...
BILL: I can't get behind that kind of like, English!
BILL: That'll be six to eight weeks before delivery.
ROLLINS: The rising oceans, the warming temperatures!
BILL: The dying polar bears - no, tigers - in fifty years!
ROLLINS: Rising poison in the air and water!
BILL: I can't understand why the price of gas suddenly rises when oil goes up...
ROLLINS: ...but takes months to go down long after oil falls!
BILL: I can't get behind any of that!
BILL: I can't get behind the Gods, who are more vengeful, angry, and dangerous
if you don't believe in them!
ROLLINS: Why can't all these Gods just get along? I mean, they're omnipotent and
omnipresent, what's the problem?
BILL: What's the problem?
BILL: What about the men who say 'Do as I do. Believe in what I say, for your
own good, or I'll kill you!' I can't get behind that!
ROLLINS: I can't get behind that! Everybody knows everything about all of us!
BILL: That's too much knowledge!
BOTH: I can't get behind that!
BILL: Yeah! And what about student drivers using my streets to learn? If you
learn to play the drums you got to go to a studio! Go to a parking lot, for
God's sake! Why are you jeopardizing my life? I can't get behind a student
driver!
ROLLINS: I can't behind a driver who drives like a student driver! If you're
going to drive an urban assault vehicle then get off the phone and keep your
eyes on the road!
ROLLINS: Lifetime guarantee?
BILL: Who's lifetime? Not mine! I haven't that much time left. Let's make it
yours. Everybody's got a longer life than me!
BILL: The leaf blowers, is there anything more futile?
ROLLINS: Car alarms.
BILL: Clap off.
ROLLINS: Clap on.
BILL: Spam.
ROLLINS: Size matters.
BILL: No, it doesn't!
ROLLINS: Yes, it does!
BILL: No, it doesn't.
ROLLINS: Yes, it does!
BILL: No, it doesn't!
ROLLINS: Yes, it does!
BILL: No, it doesn't! No, it doesn't!
ROLLINS: Yes, it does! Yes, it does!
BILL: My phone rings!
ROLLINS: Make millions in minutes!
BILL: It's a computer!
ROLLINS: Lose inches in hours!
BILL: Leave me the Hell alone!
ROLLINS: Eat more! Spend less!
BILL: The Colonel is breakdancing! Give me a break!
ROLLINS: Credit terms raised!
BILL: I can't get behind any of that!
BILL: I can't get behind so-called singers that can't carry a tune, get paid for
talking, how easy is that? Well, maybe I could get behind that!
ROLLINS: Well, I can't! If you have to fix it with a computer: quantized, pitch
corrected, and overly inspected, then you can't do it, and I can't get behind
that!
BILL: I...can't...get behind...a fat ass!

(ROLLINS: Yeah, Bill, can you turn around and do one more?
BILL: Always can do one more.
ROLLINS: Let's hit it!)

Ain�t There Anyone Here For Love?

I can't play tennis,
My golf's a menace,
I just can't do the Australian crawl.
And I'm no better at volleyball
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love,
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm apathetic,
and non-athletic,
Can't keep up in a marathon.
I need some shoulder to lean upon
And a couple of arms to hold me
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I'm not in condition to wrestle,
I've never trained in a gym.
Show me a man who can nestle
And I'll pin a medal on him.

I need some chappy
To make me happy
And he don't need to be Hercules.
Don't anyone know about birds and bees
Ain't there anyone here for love, sweet love,
Ain't there anyone here for love?

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

I was listening to this CD today, and the lyrics reminded me of somebody. It made me laugh. I love Lit. Grin

"Addicted" by Lit

She calls me up
Says she's comin' over
So I run home
(oooh-ooh)
Just to wait around
She calls me names
Then we play some mind games
And I don't know
(oooh-ooh)
But I think I like it

Now she's the only one
Who blocks my number
And she's the only one call

[CHORUS:]
(Yeah, oh yeah)
What's wrong with me?
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Why can't I see?
(Yeah, oh yeah)
I'm so addicted to you...and you're such a dick to me

She flies me out
Got a big surprise planned
In Chicago
(oooh-ooh)
That's my kinda town

She says she's been a ho
Had to let me know
On the Jerry Springer Show

[CHORUS]

I wrap myself
Around her little finger
And she gives me the middle one

[CHORUS]

She calls and I come runnin' back
I call, she never calls me back
What's wrong with me
I'm so addicted to you...and you're such a dick to me

I've been listening to this song all night. It's making me cry so much (because of my parents selling my home). It has a beautiful Irish lilt to it that's only making me cry more.

Half Acre
Hem

I am holding half an acre
torn from the map of Michigan
and folded in this scrap of paper
is a land I grew in

Think of every town you've lived in
every room you lay your head
and what is it that you remember?

Do you carry every sadness with you
every hour your heart was broken
every night the fear and darkness
lay down with you

A man is walking on the highway
A woman stares out at the sea
and light is only now just breaking

So we carry every sadness with us
every hour our hearts were broken
every night the fear and darkness
lay down with us

But I am holding half an acre
torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper
that can crack the darkest sky wide open
every burden taken from me
every night my heart unfolding
my home

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

There's something comforting and wistful about this song. I could listen to it over and over.

Nightswimming
R.E.M.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Still, its so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the waters edge.
The moon is low tonight.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
Im not sure all these people understand.
Its not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.

Nightswimming, remembering that night.
Septembers coming soon.
Im pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming.

You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.

The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.

For some reason, this song just popped into my head this morning. �If you're into off-beat folk music, you should check out these guys! �http://www.troutmusic.com

Pico de Gallo
Trout Fishing In America

Chorus:
Pico de gallo, you oughta give it a try-o
Even if you're from Ohio, it'll get you by-o.
Don't get it in your eye-o unless you want to cry-o
So come on, don't be shy-o, eat some pico de gallo!

It's got jalapenos, I reckon y'all have seen those.
They're kinda hot for gringos and probably flamingos.
Just add some tomatillos, onions and cilantro,
Lime juice and tomato, you got pico de gallo!

Chorus

It was Cinco de Mayo, and I was down on the bayou
With my good friend Venus de Milo,
We were watchin' Hawaii Five-O
She wanted some French fry-o's, or maybe apple pie-o
And I said why, oh, why-o? We got pico de gallo!

Pico de gallo, you oughta give it a try-o
Even if you're from Ontari-i-o, it'll get you by-o.
Don't get it in your eye-o unless you want to cry-o
So come on, don't be shy-o, eat some pico de gallo!
So come on, don't be shy-o, eat some pico de gallo!

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Next Time
Barenaked Ladies

CHORUS:
You can always get it right next time, next time
You can always get it right next time
You can always get it right next time, next time
You can always get it right next time

You can count on me to mess it up
You can count on me to let you down again
And in time you'll see that I'm your only friend

CHORUS

Comfort in community obliterated
Given opportunity I hesitated
Even my humility's humiliated

CHORUS

Next time, next time

When you die they make a list of every love you never kissed
Of each regret and each mistake
Every choice you'll fail to make
Oh well...
Oh well...
Oh well...

It's a shame I have to wait until the ending
Everything I've yet to break is surely bending
Every vow I ever take is just pretending
That this mess I make is worth defending

CHORUS

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

"Kick Start"
Lisa Loeb

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

We sit on our couch
While we watch our TV
And the phone doesn't ring
And it's perfect

To be here playing house
Is no comfort to me
It's just more of the same
Again and again and again

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

Trying so hard
To dig ourselves out
Cause we're stuck and we're scared
And we're thinking
Things have to change
It's the thoughts that don't count
Can something be done?
Don't let this decision drag on

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

We need a big push
To reach the right conclusion
So we can get there
If we're really going
If we're really going
Let's go.

We need a quick solution
We need a next step
To reach the right conclusion
We need a kick start
We need a kick start

"I Shall Believe" by Sheryl Crow

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
And I shall believe

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

You won't admit you love me
And so, how am I ever to know
You only tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
A million times I ask you, and then
I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't want to wind up
Being parted, broken hearted
So if you really love me, say yes
But if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

"Evaporated"
Ben Folds 5

What I've kept with me
And what I've thrown away
And where the hell I've ended up
On this glary random day
Were the things I really cared about
Just left along the way
For being too pent up and proud

Woke up way too late
Feeling hung over and old
And the sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot down the road
Started thing about my old man
It seems that all men
Wanna get into a car and go
Anywhere

Here I stand--sad & free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
God...What have I done

So don't you know I'm numb, man
No I don't feel a thing at all
Cause its all smiles & business these days
and I am indifferent to the loss
I've faith that there's a soul
whose leading me around
I wonder if she knows
Which way is down...
I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
it evaporated...see?

Blind man on a canyon's edge
of a Panoramic scene
Or maybe I'm a kite
That's flying high & random
Dangling a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home
They think I've lost my mind.

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

"Evaporated"
Ben Folds 5

I LOVE this song. One of my favorite Ben Folds songs. Here's another--

Best Imitation of Myself

I feel like a quote out of context withholding the rest,
So I can be for you what you want to see,
I got the gesture and sounds, got the timing down,
It's uncanny, yeah you think it was me

Do you think I should take a class
to lose my southern accent?

Did I make me up or make the face till it stuck?
I do the best imitation of myself

The "Problem with you" speech you gave me was fine,
I liked the theories about my little stage,
And I swore I was listening but I started drifting,
around the part about me acting my age

So now if it's all the same,
I've people to entertain,

You know I juggle one handed, do some magic tricks and
I do the best imitation of myself.

Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole,
Wondering who I am when I ought to know,
Straighten up now time to go
fool somebody else

Last night I was east with them and west within,
Sometimes I wanna be what they wanna see,
But I can't help it with you,
The good and the bad comes through,

Don't want you hanging out with no one but me
Oh, but it's all the same, It comes from the same place,

And if my mind's somewhere else you won't be able to tell,
I do the best imitation of myself
Yes it's uncanny to see, You'd really think it was me,

The best imitation of myself,
The best imitation of myself,
The best imitation of myself

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Too much sanity may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Perhaps to be too practical is madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is, and not as it ought to be!&&&&&&&&You looked at me...

It's a peculiar kind of day. I don't know how I feel. There is no reason to be sad, but somehow I do feel sad. And this song has been making me cry since I listened to it at four this morning.

A Little Over Zero
Elisa

What shall I do, just to feel
A little over zero, a little over
Now that I'm sadness
Now that I'm weakness
Gonna walk like it's for ever
Gonna walk because it would save me
And my fragility could kill me

Is this the best I can be?
Is this the best I can give?

'Cause I wanna break out and
just live my life
I wanna wake up and
find out I'm alive

A saint for each bone
Would be magical
It would feel so all consuming
That I burn out just like paper
And my serenity it will kill me, so?

Is this the best I can be ?
Is this the best I can give

'Cause I wanna break out and
just live my life
I wanna wake up and
find out I'm alive
I wanna break out
and just live my life
I wanna wake up and
find out I'm alive

Is this the best I can be?
Is this the best I can give
Is this the best I can give to you?

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

"You Set The Scene"
by Love

Where are you walking, I've seen you walking
Have you been there before?
Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps
What did you take them for?

There's a private in my boat and he wears
Pins instead of medals on his coat
There's a chicken in my nest and she won't
Lay until I've given her my best

At her request she asks for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you want she brings you water
If you don't then you will burn

You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what you're put here for?
You think you're happy and you are happy
That's what you're happy for

There's a man who can't decide if he should
Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up
But they would rather screw you down

At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you're nice she'll bring me water
If you're not then I will burn

This is the time and life that I am living
And I'll face each day with a smile
For the time that I've been given's such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
There are places that I am going
There'll be time for you to start all over

This is the only thing that I am sure of
And that's all that lives is gonna die
And there'll always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
There'll be time for you to put yourself on

Everything I've seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks it's strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part you're playing?

I see your picture
It's in the same old frame
We meet again

You look so lovely
You with the same old smile
Stay for a while
I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh

And if you take it easy
I'm still teethin'
I wanna love you, but
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is the time and life that I am living
And I'll face each day with a smile
For the time that I've been given's such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
There are places that I am going
There'll be time for you to start all over

This is the time and this is the time and
It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...

This just came to mind today, for some strange reason.... Roll Eyes

La Marseillaise
Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arriv�!
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'�tendard sanglant est lev�,
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces farouches soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
�gorger vos fils, vos compagnes!

Refrain
Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons!
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!

Couplet II
Que veut cette horde d'esclaves,
De tra�tres, de rois conjur�s?
Pour qui ces ignobles entraves,
Ces fers d�s longtemps pr�par�s?
Fran�ais, pour nous, ah! quel outrage
Quels transports il doit exciter!
C'est nous qu'on ose m�diter
De rendre � l'antique esclavage!

Refrain

Couplet III

Quoi! des cohortes �trang�res
Feraient la loi dans nos foyers!
Quoi! ces phalanges mercenaires
Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers!
Grand Dieu! par des mains encha�n�es
Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient
De vils despotes deviendraient
Les ma�tres de nos destin�es!

Refrain

Couplet IV

Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides
L'opprobre de tous les partis,
Tremblez! vos projets parricides
Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix!
Tout est soldat pour vous combattre,
S'ils tombent, nos jeunes h�ros,
La terre en produit de nouveaux,
Contre vous tout pr�ts � se battre!

Refrain

Couplet V

Fran�ais, en guerriers magnanimes,
Portez ou retenez vos coups!
�pargnez ces tristes victimes,
� regret s'armant contre nous.
Mais ces despotes sanguinaires,
Mais ces complices de Bouill�,
Tous ces tigres qui, sans piti�,
D�chirent le sein de leur m�re!

Refrain

Couplet VI

Amour sacr� de la Patrie,
Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs
Libert�, Libert� ch�rie,
Combats avec tes d�fenseurs!
Sous nos drapeaux que la victoire
Accoure � tes m�les accents,
Que tes ennemis expirants
Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!

Refrain

Couplet VII (Couplet des enfants)

Nous entrerons dans la carri�re
Quand nos a�n�s n'y seront plus,
Nous y trouverons leur poussi�re
Et la trace de leurs vertus
Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre
Que de partager leur cercueil,
Nous aurons le sublime orgueil
De les venger ou de les suivre!

Refrain

Oh yeah? Well, take THIS:

Der er et yndigt land
Adam Oehlenschl�ger og H.E. Kr�yer

Der er et yndigt land,
det st�r med brede b�ge
n�r salten �sterstrand;
n�r salten �sterstrand;
det bugter sig i bakke, dal,
det hedder gamle Danmark,
og det er Frejas Sal
og det er Frejas Sal

Der sad i fordums tid
de harniskkl�dte k�mper,
udhvilede fra strid;
udhvilede fra strid;
s� drog de frem til fjenders m�n
nu hvile deres bene
bag h�jens bautasten
bag h�jens bautasten

Det land endnu er sk�nt,
thi bl� sig s�en b�lter,
og l�vet st�r s� gr�nt;
og l�vet st�r s� gr�nt;
og �dle kvinder, sk�nne m�'r
og m�nd og raske svende
bebo de danskes �er
bebo de danskes �er

Hil drot og f�dreland!
Hil hver en danneborger,
som virker, hvad han kan!
som virker, hvad han kan!
Vort gamle Danmark skal best�,
s� l�nge b�gen spejler
sin top i b�lgen bl�
sin top i b�lgen bl�

... and THIS!

Kong Kristian stod ved h�jen mast
Johannes Ewald og Ditlev Ludvig Rogert

Kong Kristian stod ved h�jen mast
i r�g og damp;
hans v�rge hamrede s� fast,
at gotens hjelm og hjerne brast.
Da sank hvert fjendtligt spejl og mast
i r�g og damp.
Fly, skreg de, fly, hvad flygte kan!
hvo st�r for Danmarks Kristian
hvo st�r for Danmarks Kristian
i kamp?
Niels Juel gav agt p� stormens brag.
Nu er det tid.
Han hejsede det r�de flag
og slog p� fjenden slag i slag.
Da skreg de h�jt blandt stormens brag:
Nu er det tid!
Fly, skreg de, hver, som v�d et skjul!
hvo kan best� mod Danmarks Juel
hvo kan best� mod Danmarks Juel
i strid?
O, Nordhav! Glimt af Wessel br�d
din m�rke sky.
Da ty'de k�mper til dit sk�d;
thi med ham lynte skr�k og d�d.
Fra vallen h�rtes vr�l, som br�d
den tykke sky.
Fra Danmark lyner Tordenskjold;
hver give sig i himlens vold
hver give sig i himlens vold
og fly!
Du danskes vej til ros og magt,
sortladne hav!
Modtag din ven, som uforsagt
t�r m�de faren med foragt
s� stolt som du mod stormens magt,
sortladne hav!
Og rask igennem larm og spil
og kamp og sejer f�r mig til
og kamp og sejer f�r mig til
min grav!

O.K., if you insist, Wildcard. I'd be happy to. Not that I immediately associate Denmark with Bastille Day, but I certainly enjoyed the all-too-brief time I spent there.

And for further enjoyment and edification:

Land der Berge, Land am Strome
Paula von Paradovic

Land der Berge, Land am Strome,
Land der �cker, Land der Dome,
Land der H�mmer zukunftsreich!
Heimat bist du gro�er S�hne,
Volk begnadet f�r das Sch�ne,
Vielger�hmtes �sterreich,
Vielger�hmtes �sterreic

Hei� umfehdet, wild umstritten,
Liegst dem Erdteil du inmitten
Einem starken Herzen gleich.
Hast seit fr�hen Ahnentagen
Hoher Sendung Last getragen,
Vielgepr�ftes �sterreich,
Vielgepr�ftes �sterreich.

Mutig in die neuen Zeiten,
Frei und gl�ubig sieh uns schreiten,
Arbeitsfroh und hoffnungsreich.
Einig la� in Bruderch�ren,
Vaterland, dir Treue schw�ren.
Vielgeliebtes �sterreich,
Vielgeliebtes �sterreich.

Himnusz
FERENC K�LCSEY

Isten, �ldd meg a magyart
J� kedvvel, bős�ggel,
Ny�jts fel�je v�dő kart,
Ha k�zd ellens�ggel;
Bal sors akit r�gen t�p,
Hozz r� v�g esztendőt,

Hajh, de bűneink miatt
Gy�lt harag kebledben,

Most rabl� mongol nyil�t
Z�gattad felett�nk,
Majd t�r�ktől rabig�t

And we certainly couldn't overlook this (the oldest national anthem in the world):

Het Wilhelmus
Philips van Marnix

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij, onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd ge�erd.

In Godes vrees te leven
heb ik altijd betracht,
daarom ben ik verdreven,
om land, om luid gebracht.
Maar God zal mij regeren
als een goed instrument,
dat ik zal wederkeren
in mijnen regiment.

Lijdt u, mijn onderzaten
die oprecht zijt van aard,
God zal u niet verlaten,
al zijt gij nu bezwaard.
Die vroom begeert te leven,
bidt God nacht ende dag,
dat Hij mij kracht zal geven,
dat ik u helpen mag.

Lijf en goed al te samen
heb ik u niet verschoond,
mijn broeders hoog van namen
hebben 't u ook vertoond:
Graaf Adolf is gebleven
in Friesland in den slag,
zijn ziel in 't eeuwig leven
verwacht den jongsten dag.

Edel en hooggeboren,
van keizerlijken stam,
een vorst des rijks verkoren,
als een vroom christenman,
voor Godes woord geprezen,
heb ik, vrij onversaagd,
als een held zonder vreden
mijn edel bloed gewaagd.

Mijn schild ende betrouwen
zijt Gij, o God mijn Heer,
op U zo wil ik bouwen,
Verlaat mij nimmermeer.
Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven,
uw dienaar t'aller stond,
de tirannie verdrijven
die mij mijn hart doorwondt.

Van al die mij bezwaren
en mijn vervolgers zijn,
mijn God, wil doch bewaren
den trouwen dienaar dijn,
dat zij mij niet verrassen
in hunnen bozen moed,
hun handen niet en wassen
in mijn onschuldig bloed.

Als David moeste vluchten
voor Sauel den tiran,
zo heb ik moeten zuchten
als menig edelman.
Maar God heeft hem verheven,
verlost uit alder nood,
een koninkrijk gegeven
in Isra�l zeer groot.

Na 't zuur zal ik ontvangen
van God mijn Heer dat zoet,
daarnaar zo doet verlangen
mijn vorstelijk gemoed:
dat is, dat ik mag sterven
met eren in dat veld,
een eeuwig rijk verwerven
als een getrouwen held.

Niet doet mij meer erbarmen
in mijnen wederspoed
dan dat men ziet verarmen
des Konings landen goed.
Dat u de Spanjaards krenken,
o edel Neerland zoet,
als ik daaraan gedenke,
mijn edel hart dat bloedt.

Als een prins opgezeten
met mijner heireskracht,
van den tiran vermeten
heb ik den slag verwacht,
die, bij Maastricht begraven,
bevreesde mijn geweld;
mijn ruiters zag men draven
zeer moedig door dat veld.

Zo het den wil des Heren
op dien tijd had geweest,
had ik geern willen keren
van u dit zwaar tempeest.
Maar de Heer van hierboven,
die alle ding regeert,
die men altijd moet loven,
en heeft het niet begeerd.

Zeer christlijk was gedreven
mijn prinselijk gemoed,
standvastig is gebleven
mijn hart in tegenspoed.
Den Heer heb ik gebeden
uit mijnes harten grond,
dat Hij mijn zaak wil redden,
mijn onschuld maken kond.

Oorlof, mijn arme schapen
die zijt in groten nood,
uw herder zal niet slapen,
al zijt gij nu verstrooid.
Tot God wilt u begeven,
zijn heilzaam woord neemt aan,
als vrome christen leven,-
't zal hier haast zijn gedaan.

Voor God wil ik belijden
en zijner groten macht,
dat ik tot genen tijden
den Koning heb veracht,
dan dat ik God den Heere,
der hoogsten Majesteit,
heb moeten obedi�ren
in der gerechtigheid.

Il Canto degli Italiani (L�inno de Mameli)

Fratelli d'Italia,

Inno e Marcia Pontificale
Antonio Allegra

O felix Roma - O Roma nobilis.
Sedes es Petri, qui Romae effudit sanguinem,
Petri, cui claves datae sunt regni caelorum.
Pontifex, Tu successor es Petri;
Pontifex, Tu magister es tuos confirmas fratres;
Pontifex, Tu qui Servus servorum Dei,
hominumque piscator, pastor es gregis,
ligans caelum et terram.
Pontifex, Tu Christi es vicarius super terram,
rupes inter fluctus, Tu es pharus in tenebris;
Tu pacis es vindex, Tu es unitatis custos,
vigil libertatis defensor; in Te potestas.
Tu Pontifex, firma es petra, et super petram
hanc aedificata est Ecclesia Dei.
O felix Roma - O Roma nobilis.

Math Suks
Jimmy Buffett

If necessity is the mother of invention
Then I'd like to kill the guy who invented this
The numbers come together in some kind of a third dimension
A regular algebraic bliss.

Let's start with something simple, like one and one ain't three
Any two plus two will never get you five.
There are fractions in my subtraction and x don't equal y
But my homework is bound to multiply.

Math suks math suks
I'd like to burn this textbook, I hate this stuff so much.
Math suks math suks
Sometimes I think that I don't know that much
But math suks.

I got so bored with my homework, I turned on the TV.
The beauty contest winners were all smiling through their teeth.
Then they asked the new Miss America
Hey babe can you add up all those bucks?
She looked puzzled, then just said
"Math Suks".

Math suks math suks
You don't even have to spell it,
All you have to do is yell it...
Math suks math suks
Sometime times I think that I don't know that much
But math suks.

Geometry, trigonometry and if that don't tax your brain
There are numbers to big to be named
Numerical precision is a science with a mission
And I think it's gonna drive me insane.

Parents fighting with their children, and the Congress can't agree
Teachers and their students are all jousting constantly.
Management and labor keep rattling old sabers
Quacking like those Peabody ducks.

Math suks math suks
You don't even have to spell it,
All you have to do is yell it...
Math suks math suks
Sometime times I think that I don't know that much
But math suks.

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Hey little buddy
Don't even worry
Everything is gonna be O.K.

I could have told you when you started making
Money that the world was going to treat you This way.
Forget your first wife, she was no good for You,
she was a gold-digging bitch and her mom Was too.

Hey, Iron Mike... don't let them get you down

Hey, little buddy
Don't look uneasy
You just keep your eyes fixed on this fight
If that mean 'old Don King
Don't give you back all of your money
I say you and I, we go and take it back some night.

Your still the champion and everybody knows you are.
Come on Iron Mike, let's take the Porsche to the titty-bar.

Come on champ! Come on champ!

All i'm asking for is 300 dollars and that's
Only til my brother straightens out
I would do this for you if I could and you
Needed me to... ain't that what friendships all about?

Hey, little buddy
Don't get angry
God please at least not a me
You know that i am right behind you
All the way, old 'compadre
You just say whatever you want to, and i'll Agree

Who washed every car in this 10 car garage?
Who caries the boombox and the entourage?
Me Mike... me!

BITE ME all you Neil haters!

"Play Me"
Neil Diamond

She was morning
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
Come take me

For Ive been lonely
In need of someone
As though Id done
Someone wrong somewhere
I dont know where
Come lately

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon the road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

For all the days this week that kept dragging slowly onward.

You're older that you've ever been
and now you're even older
and now you're even older

You're older that you've ever been
and now you're even older
and now you're older still

I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.

You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.

Come on tell me

You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading crappity smacking reminder of who I used to be.

Come on tell me

You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

I just want something I can never have

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

Sorry, i know some may consider this song overplayed, but it's very much in my head today:

ONE
by U2

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One

One

"It's Too Late" - Carole King

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

I've posted this one before... but it's how I really feel at this very moment.

Grey
Sarah Bettens

this is what i've learned so far
everything is grey
few things are forever
and it hurts when good things fade

you can't be my everything
and i am not half you
but you can make it all worthwhile
and that's why i love you...

when you look at me
am i incomplete
am i missing something
everybody else can clearly see
when you look at me...

i have tasted happiness
the innocence of joy
do we pay a price for every moment we enjoy

i could make you promises
but even i can't say
if everything I feel for you
will never go away

when you look at me
am i incomplete
am i missing something
everybody else can clearly see
when you look at me...

will you be my everything?
maybe just this time
we can really think that i am yours
and you are mine

i am yours and you are mine...

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I think I might have posted this one before, but I don't have the time to go looking for it. So, all together Finnophiles!

Finland
Monty Python

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
It's the country for me.

You're so near to Russia,
So far from Japan.
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

You're so sadly neglected,
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.

This came up on shuffle on the way to school this morning. LOVE.

"Love and Memories" by O.A.R.

Lovely, you're always lovely
A vision
You were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me
Didn�t you?

Didn�t you
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

You�re always floating
A vapor
That I couldn�t see
Here I am stuck inside a yesterday
Everything has given way
You fell from me
Didn�t you?

Didn�t you
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

Maybe I am a crowded mind
I watch your eyes glaze over
Stare down at the floor
You were amazing to me
I was amazing to you
But here we go again

Didn�t you
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

A little twofer from Blue October

18th Floor Balcony

I Close my eyes
And I smile, knowing that everything's alright
To the core, close that door
Is this happening?

My breath on your head, I'm unaware
That you opened the blind to let the city in
Dark, you held my hand as we stand
Taking in everything

And I knew it from the start
So our arms are opened wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
We're both flying away...

We talked, moms and dads
Family past
Getting to know where we came from
Hearts were on display
Go off to sleep
I can't believe this is happening to us

I raised my hands as if to show you I was yours
That I was so yours for the taking
And I'm still so yours for the taking
And that's when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while choking up
No words to say, And then you kissed me....

And I knew it from the start
So our arms are opened wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
We're both flying away...

Could you make it snow?...

It's Just Me

I lost a piece of me in you;
I think I left it in your arms.
I forget the reasons I got scared,
But remember that I cared quite a lot.

You see but lately I've been on my own.
Yeah one, but one by choice.
You see, thats a first for me,
There's only me, yeah theres only me,
And now I realize for once,
It's just me.
It's just me.
It's just me,
And I'll find a way to make it,
There's noone left to stop me.
Here I go.
Can we take it from the top?

So why so long?
So sad, I wanna be strong.
Don't try to take this from me.
I'm already spent living half my life undone
So why so long?
So sad, I wanna be strong.
Don't try to take this from me.
I've already spent my life living half undone.

I've been talking to my aunts and uncles, mom and dad again.
I've been finding out that I have what this world calls friends.
I've tried to push them all away,
They push me back and wanna stay
And that's one good thing I have.

I'm gonna feel a peace in me,
I'm gonna feel at home.
I'm gonna make this cloud above me disappear, be gone.
I wanna feel a punch inside, my heart beat on the floor.
I don't wanna hurt no more.

Yeah it's just me.
It's just me
And i'll find a way to make it.
There's noone left to stop me.
Here i go, can we take it from the top?

So why so long?
So sad, I wanna be strong.
Don't try to take her from me.
I've already spent my life living half undone.

So why so long?
So sad, i wanna be strong.
Don't try to take her from me.
I've already spent my life living half undone.

I used to be the one who won before.
I used to smile but dont no more.
I'm living just to watch it all go by.

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Who You Fighting For?

Queen & Country, freedom cry
God & Glory, Do or Die
Propaganda, Spin and Lie
Who are you fighting for.

CHORUS
You do the shooting - they do the looting
You do the killing - they do the drilling
You do the dying - they do the lying
All the way to the Bank
You can hear them crying

Sell the arms, suppress the truth
Create the fear, invent the proof
Wave the flag - don't tell the youth
Who they are fighting for

CHORUS

Weapon dealing, profiteering
Country stealing, ethnic clearing
Asset stripping, oil dripping
Architects of War.

This song has a completely different meaning to me now than it did yesterday.

See I'm Smiling
from The Last Five Years

I guess I can't believe you really came
And that we're sitting on this pier
See, I'm smiling
That means I'm happy that you're here

I stole this sweater from a costume shop
It makes me look like Daisy Mae
See, we're laughing
I think we're gonna be okay
I mean, we'll have to try a little harder
And bend things to and fro
To make this love as special
As it was five years ago
I mean, you made it to Ohio!
Who knows where else we can go

I think you're really gonna like this show
I'm pretty sure it doesn't suck
See, you're laughing and I'm smiling
By a river in Ohio
And you're mine
We're doing fine

I think we both can see what could be better
I'll own when I was wrong
With all we've had to go through
We'll end up twice as strong
And so we'll start again this weekend
And just keep rolling along

I didn't know you had to go so soon
I thought we had a little time
Look, whatever, if you have to
Then you have to, so whatever
It's all right
We'll have tonight

You know what makes me crazy?
I'm sorry, can I say this?
You know what makes me nuts?
The fact that we could be together
Here together
Sharing our night
Spending our time
And you are gonna choose someone else to be with
No, you are
Yes, Jamie, that's exactly what you're doing:
You could be here with me
Or be there with them
As usual, guess which you pick

No, Jamie, you do not have to go to another party
With the same twenty jerks you already know
You could stay with your wife on her crappity smacking birthday
And you could, God forbid, even see my show
And I know in your soul it must drive you crazy
That you won't get to play with your little girlfriends
No, I'm not, no I'm not!
And the point is, Jamie,
That you can't spend a single day that's not about

You and you and nothing but you
"Mahvelous" novelist, you!
Isn't he wonderful, just twenty-eight
The savior of writing
You and you and nothing but you
Miles and piles of you
Pushing through windows and bursting through walls
En route to the sky
And I...

I swear to God I'll never understand
How you can stand there straight and tall
And see I'm crying
And not do anything at all

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Oh the things I find in my library:

No Going Steady for Me

Men and Women:

Complete independence is the life for me!

Men:

Too long I've been misunderstood by girls who are glum,

Women:

And boys who are numb

Both:

Who chuckle and chase,
Who stand and stare,
Who snub you with a gleeful air.

Men:

No steady girls for me.
I'd much rather fly to the moon and back
Or take a little walk down the railroad track.

Women: � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Men:
Too long I've been misunderstood � � � � � � � � � � � � �Girls, girls, girls, girls,
by boys who are tough � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �girls, girls, girls, girls, girls,
and boys who are rough � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �girls, girls

Men:

By girls who can think, and girls who just wink.

Women:

By boys who are small,

Men:

And girls who are tall,

Women:

By boys who are neat,

Men:

and girls with big feet,

Women:

By boys who have wit,

Men:

and girls who can knit,

Both:

Who chuckle and chase,
Who stand and stare,
Who snub you with a gleeful air.
No steady boys/girls for me.

Women:

I'd much rather read a book at night,
Or gaze at the sun instead of candlelight.

Both:

No going steady for me.
Oh, let me be free!

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

Fragile Heart
by Jewel

If you want my heart
You have to promise not to tear it apart
'Cause my heart
Has been hurt a lot
And it always seems
Love is not sweet, like in dreams
Something falls through
But I don't want that to happen to me and you

So be
Careful, warning
Fragile heart

Last Saturday
We ate dinner at your parents' place
Last Saturday, you said
How you feel will not go away
Well, all the fishes in the sea
Could not be happier than me

So be
Careful, warning
Fragile heart

Only fools believe that
Nothing changes, nothing leaves
But I need to believe that we at least
Will have some dignity
'Cause everything changes
Nothing stays the same
But that's no excuse to be casual
Or to place the blame
You have to be careful with me

So be
Careful, warning
Fragile heart

You Could Be Happy
Snow Patrol

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
no longer lend your voice to that which you wish to be free from
fill your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon..

there are plenty of people who pray for peace
but if praying were enough it would have come to be, so let your words
enslave no one and have voices ring out loud
with songs of freedom

I can't stop listening to this song. I end up with tears rolling down my face every time I do. I feel like it's something that someone has been trying to tell me and I'm only now just hearing.

If I Didn't Believe in You
from The Last Five Years

If I didn't believe in you
We'd never have gotten this far
If I didn't believe in you
And all of the ten thousand women you are
If I didn't think you could do
Anything you ever wanted to
If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow
The fact of the matter is, Cathy
I wouldn't be standing here now

If I didn't believe in you
We wouldn't be having this fight
If I didn't believe in you
I'd walk out the door and say,
"Cathy, you're right"
But I never could let that go
Knowing the things about you I know
Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew
It never took much convincing
To make me believe in you

Don't we get to be happy, Cathy?
At some point down the line

Don't we get to relax?
Without some new tsuris
To push me yet further from you?
If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy
Why can't you support mine?
Why do I have to feel
I've committed some felony
Doing what I always swore I would do?

I don't want you to hurt
I don't want you to sink
But you know what I think?
I think you'll be fine!
Just hang on and you'll see-
But don't make me wait till you do
To be happy with you
Will you listen to me?
No one can give you courage
No one can thicken your skin
I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy
I will not lose because you can't win

If I didn't believe in your
Then here's where the travelogue ends
If I didn't believe in you
I couldn't have stood before all of our friends
And said, "This is the life I choose-
This is the thing I can't bear to lose
Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall"
That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy
If I hadn't believed in you
I wouldn't have loved you at all

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I think I've posted this one before, but every now and then, it just smacks me upside the head...

Fly Away by Poe

It makes sense that it should happen this way
That the sky should break, and the earth should shake
As if to say: Sure it all matters but in such an
unimportant way
As if to say:

Fly away, sweet bird of prey
Fly fly away
Nothing can stand in your way
Sweet bird, if you knew the words
I know you'd say: fly, fly away

It makes sense that it should hurt in this way
That my heart should break, and my hands should shake
As if to say: Sure it don't matter except in the most
important way
As if to say:

Fly away, sweet bird of prey
Fly fly away
I won't stand in your way
Sweet bird, if you knew the words
I know that you'd say: fly, fly away

It makes sense that it should feel just this way
That you slowly fade and yet still remain
As if to say: Everything matter in such an invisible way
As if to say: It's O.K.
Fly...away

Why does this seem especially poignant today?

the main attraction

i'm off to the ladies, she's off to the gents...
a curious relationship.
it'll end in tedium or it'll end in bed.
we're commonly crossed legged but regally spread.

we're like the carpet-burned knees of desire
both of us are blushing
both of us are skint (again)
get up and throw another plug on the fire
don't blow a hole in the royal mint
(these suckers are skint)

you can fool some people all the time
and you can suffer fools some of the time
you can even fool all the people
all of the time...
but you cannae kid yourself

you're the main attraction
and you'll get your hands on her
off to the trough and the cubicle
to get pharmaceutically full of yourself

i'm pushing my boat out
to greet your ship coming in

don't kid yourself
you're the main attraction
that i won't get my hands on her
between the trough and the cubicle
just stop for a bloody good look at yourself...

i'm pushing my boat out
to greet your ship coming in

between the trough and the cubicle
you sure made a bloody good fool of yourself

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

Is It Any Wonder
Keane

I
I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
and so on

but now I think how I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I'm tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

Sometimes
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand

But sometimes
I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children rhyme, a soundbite

Is it any wonder that I'm tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right
oh, these days
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed

Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad lonely spires
How do you make it right

Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right
oh, these days
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS

My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away The myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say.

Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found the new Messiah.
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.

I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.

Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?

I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
If they go too far....

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...

PILATE'S DREAM

I dreamed I met a Galilean;
A most amazing man.
He had that look you very rarely find:
The haunting, hunted kind.
I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began.
I asked again, he never said a word.
As if he hadn't heard.
And next, the room was full of wild and angry men.
They seemed to hate this man.
They fell on him, and then
Disappeared again.
Then I saw thousands of millions
Crying for this man.
And then I heard them mentioning my name,
And leaving me the blame.

JUDAS' DEATH

JUDAS

My God! I saw him.
He looked three-quarters dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head.
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame,
And I know who everybody's going to blame.
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good.
I'd save him all this suffering if I could.
Don't believe...our good...
And I'd save him if I could...

ANNAS

Cut the confessions, forget the excuses.
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance.
The mob turned against him, you backed the right horse.

CAIAPHAS

What you have done will be the saving of everyone.
You'll be remembered forever for this.
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.
Pretty good wages for one little kiss.

JUDAS

Christ, I know you can't hear me,
But I only did what you wanted me too.
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!
I don't know how to love him.
I don't know why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
He is not a king. He is just the same
As anyone I know.
He scares me so!
When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is in darkness.
God, God I'm sick. I've been used,
And you knew all the time.
God, God I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime.
You're so bloody, Christ.

CHOIR

Poor old Judas. So long Judas.

JUDAS

You have murdered me.

This came up on my playlist, and it made me think of someone, and it felt good to think this way.

Angel Standing By
Jewel

All through the night
I'll be watching over you
And all through the night
I'll be standing over you
And through bad dreams
I'll be right there baby
telling you everything's going to be all right
When you cry I'll be there baby
telling you were never nothing less than beautiful
So don't you worry
I'm your Angel, standing by

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

I love this song, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. In fact, I'm proud of my "Weird Al" collection, which includes every album he's released.

Yoda
"Wierd Al" Yankovic

I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Too much sanity may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Perhaps to be too practical is madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is, and not as it ought to be!&&&&&&&&You looked at me...

A couple of great Pearl Jam tracks off their latest album (which I really like)

Come Back

If I keep holding out
Will the light shine through
Under this broken roof
Its only rain that I feel
I've been wishing out the days
Ohh ohh oh come back

I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
I've been wishing out the days
Please say that if you hadn't gone now
I wouldnt have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Ohhhh ohh ohh oh oh come back

And these days they linger on
And in the night I've been waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep
If I dont fall apart, will my memory stay clear
So you had to go, And I had to remain here

But the strangest thing today
So far away and yet you feel so close
And I'm not gonna question any other way
There must be an open door
For you uhh uhh uhh.... To come back

And the days they linger on
And every night when Im waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I can swear that you're next to me
And its okayyyyyy

It's ok...it's ok

Ohhh I need you....come back, come back
Ahhhhh I need you come back, come back
Ohhhh I need you come back, come back

Whoooo whooo whooo whoo

Whoooo whooo whooo whoo

Whoooo whooo whooo whoo

Whoooo whooo whooo whoo

Life Wasted
You're always saying that there's something wrong.
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along.
Death came around, forced to hear it's song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on

Seen the home inside your head.
All locked doors and unmade beds

Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that

I have faced it, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
having tasted, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.

The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behind?

You're always saying you're too weak to be strong.
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone

Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves...tell me,
Why invite it to stay?

You're one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?? ???

I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

Oh I escaped it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

Having tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Oh I erased it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Too much sanity may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Perhaps to be too practical is madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is, and not as it ought to be!&&&&&&&&You looked at me...

This song is really beautiful and wistful. It feels how I feel right now, at the very purest and most basic level.

Falling
Keri Noble

Standing here outside your door
Not sure if you're home
Wondering if I'm a fool
Maybe I should go

Usually I'm fearless
But I've become undone
A clown without even a disguise
Now everyone will know that I've�

Fallen�fallen�I've fallen in love
And I can't make sense of it

Don't know how this happened
I can't say for sure
But suddenly I'm incomplete
Sustaining on the hope

If you should see me face to face
If you could hear my heart
You might feel this terrifying something rising up and you've�

Fallen�fallen�you've fallen in love
And you can't make sense of it

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

O.K. this on is P.I.T.'s Fault her post sparked it

BOOT TO THE HEAD/Ti Kwan Leap

performed by the Frantics

PART I : THE LESSON

MASTER: Approach student, close the circle at the feet of the master. You
have come to me asking that I be your guide along the path of Tae Kwon
Leap. But, be warned: To learn its ways, you must learn the ways of your
own soul. Let us meditate on this wisdom now. So: Ohhhhmmmmm...

STUDENT1 (Ed Gruberman): Uh, sir! Sir! (Oo!, Oo!) Sir!

MASTER: Who disturbs our meditation, as a pebble disturbs the stillness of
the pond?

EG: Me! Ed Gruberman!

MASTER: E-Ed Gruberman.

EG: Yeah, uh, no disrespect or nuthin', but, uh, how long is this gonna take?

MASTER: Tae Kwon Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading
forever towards the horizon.

EG: So like, what, an hour or so?

MASTER: No, no, we have not even begun upon the path. Ed Gruberman, you
must learn patience.

EG: Yeah yeah yeah, patience. How long will that take?

MASTER: Time has no meaning. To a true student, a year is as a day.

EG: A YEAR??? I wanna beat people up right now! I got the pajamas! Yah
yah yah hwoom!

MASTER: 'Beat people up'...

EG: Yeah! Just show me all those nifty moves so I can start trashing
bozos! That's all I came here for! YO ASTA STA STA!!! Pretty good, ey?

MASTER: The only use of Tae Kwon Leap is self-defense. Do you know who
said that? Ki Lo Ni, the great teacher.

EG: Yeah? Well the best defense is a good offense, you know who said
that? Mel, the cook on 'Alice'.

MASTER: Tae Kwon Leap is the wine of purity, not the vinegar of
hostility. Meditate upon this truth with us. Ohmmmmmm.....

EG: Listen, shrimp! Now are you gonna show me some fancy moves, or am I
gonna start wipin' the walls with you?

MASTER: Ed Gruberman, you fail to grasp Tae Kwon Leap. Approach me that
you might see.

EG: All right! Finally some action!

MASTER: Observe closely, class. Boot to the Head! (SH-ZOOMP!)

EG (drunkenly): Owww! You booted me in the head!

MASTER: You are lucky, Ed Gruberman. Few novices experience so much of
Tae Kwon Leap so soon.

EG (quietly, to himself): Ow, oh, my head!

MASTER: Now we continue. Ohhhmmmmm...

EG: Hey! I wasn't ready! Come and get me now shorty, hah? Come on, are
ya chicken?

MASTER: Boot to the head! (SH-ZOOMP!)

EG (again, drunkenly): Oww! Okay, now I'm ready, okay, now, come on, try it
now.

MASTER: Boot to the head! (SH-ZOOMP!)
12 CD's for the Price of 1

EG: Mind if I just lie down here for a minute?

MASTER: Now class, we shall return to our..

STUDENT2: Master?

MASTER: It is wrong to tip the vessel of knowledge, student.

STUDENT2: Many apologies, master. But I feel Ed Gruberman is not wholly wrong.

MASTER: What do you mean?

STUDENT2: I want to boot some head, too.

MASTER: Have you learned nothing from the lesson of Ed Gruberman?

STUDENT2: Yes, master. I have learned two things. First, that anger
is a weapon only to one's opponent.

MASTER: Very good.

STUDENT2: And secondly, get in the first shot. Boot to the head. (SH-ZOOMP!)

MASTER: You missed.

STUDENT2: Yeah. Well...

MASTER: You too shall be honored to learn a lesson...

STUDENT2: You don't have to, you know. I gotta be going...

MASTER: Boot to the head! (SH-ZOOMP!)

STUDENT2 (agonizing pain): Oyyy oy oyyyy.... Oh....

MASTER: Can anyone tell us what lesson has been learned here?

STUDENT3: Yes, master. Not a single one of us could defeat you.

MASTER: You gain wisdom, child.

STUDENT3: So we'll hafta gang up on ya! Get 'im guys!

(Master throws many Boot-to-the-head's and SH-ZOOMP's, and people are groaning
in pain)

MASTER: And now class, let us rejoin the mind to the body and gaze into
the heart of the candle of meditation.

UNISON: Ohhhmmmm....

MASTER: Very good, class.

PART II : THE SONG

Yi yi yai yi....

People talking in movie shows,
People smoking in bed!
People voting Republican,
Give them a boot to the head!

Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...
Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...
Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...
Boot to the Head! Yah yah yah.. yah. yah yah yah...

Mechanics who can't fix a car,
Politicians who can't think!
The salesman who won't leave me alone,
The waiter who forgot my drink!

(Refrain)
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
BOOT TO THE HEAD

The Promise
When in Rome

If you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.

And when you're in doubt,
and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
and I'll be there.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.

When your day is through,
and so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.

Sometimes if I shout,
it's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I have to walk the world to make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will...

Bitch
Meredith Brooks

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
Chorus:
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

Chorus

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

Chorus

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Sometimes my baby sang this for me at karaoke last night. Love my britney's pears!

Bed of Roses
Bon Jovi

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While were talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A kings ransom in dimes Id given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or its hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskeys gone dry
The barkeepers wigs crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

"Almost Honest" by Josh Kelley

So in the meantime
You'll be resting on my mind
For the last time
I will leave myself behind
In the evening
Raise a glass and tell some lies
Make a pass, impress another girl
She's easy on the eyes

She was easy
And so was I

My reflection
In the window when I ride for Chicago
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love

Well I was almost honest
I was almost honest

Been a long time
Since I lay with you in bed
Conversations, full of words you never said
I got your message
But I didn't hear the ringing bell
I gave into the loneliness
But I didn't give them nothing else

Which direction
Down this highway that I ride to Atlanta
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love

I was almost honest
Well, I was almost honest

My reflection
In the window when I ride
Could not save us
But I swear to God I tried
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love

I was almost honest
But I was almost honest
Cause I was almost honest

This one's for P.I.T.:
I love you for reminding me of one of my all time favoritos:

Sea and Sand

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned,
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own.
They finally threw me out
My mother got drunk on stout,
My dad couldn't stand on two feet,
As he lectured about morality.
Now I guess the families complete,
With me hanging round on the street
Or here on the beach.

The girl I love
Is a perfect dresser,
Wears every fashion
Gets it to the tee.
Heavens above,
I got to match her
She knows just how
She wants her man to be
Leave it to me.

My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a G S scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.

I see her dancing
Across the ballroom
U V light making starshine
Of her smile.
I am the face,
She has to know me,
I'm dressed up better than anyone
Within a mile.

So how come the other tickets look much better?
Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter.
How come the girls come on oh so cool
Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool.

Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
I just want to die with you near
I'm feeling so high with you here.
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
I should have split home at fifteen
Why didn't I ever say what I mean?
There's a story that the grass is so green,
What did I see?
Where have I been?

Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand

Circle
Edie Brickell and New Bohemians

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us.
But, I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.
And I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say goodbye.

Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet --
the color slip into the sky.
But I don't know why that means you and I are
- that means you and....
I quit -- I give up.
Nothin's good enough for anybody else it seems.
But I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say...

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around.

The lyrics to this song suddenly made sense today.

Elaborate Lives
Aida

We all lead such elaborate lives
wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
days apart and hurried nights
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to live like that
seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to love like that
I just want our time to be
slower and gentler, wiser, free

We all live in extravagant times
playing games we can't all win
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out, take others in

I'm so tired of all were going through
I don't want to live like that
I'm so tired of all were going through
I don't want to love like that
I just want to be with you
Now and forever , peaceful, true
This may not be the moment
to tell you face to face
But I could wait forever
for the perfect time and place

AIDA & RADAMES
We all lead such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
Hard to know who's loving who

AIDA
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that

RADAMES
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to touch your heart
May this confession

RADAMES & AIDA
Be the start

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I can't remember if I've posted this or not, but it makes me laugh, so here it is--

Bob
by Weird Al Yankovic

I, man, am regal - a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see God?
"Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi," I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Too much sanity may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Perhaps to be too practical is madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is, and not as it ought to be!&&&&&&&&You looked at me...

Alone in the Crowd

What do you do when you think the whole world is laughin' at you?
Do you cry, or take a walk and wonder why?
Do �you ever ask as the twilight brush our faces passed,
Am I small,
Or can I fly above and conquer them all?
City sounds form a music in my mind.
Ev'ry melody I pull from the air makes me stronger ev'ry time.
Just bein' alone in the crowd with a song.
Singing, alone in the crowd
Nothin's wrong.

I've posted it before, and it's not applying to me today...but it just gets me every. time. i hear it.

Evaporated
Ben Folds

What Ive kept with me
And what Ive thrown away
Dont know where the hell Ive ended up
On this glary, random day
Were the things I really cared about
Just left along the way
For being to pent up and proud

Woke up way too late
Feeling hung over and old
And the sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot
Down the road
Started thinking about
My old man
It seems that all men
Wanna get into a car and go
Anywhere

Here I stand - sad and free
I cant cry and I cant see
What Ive done
God. . .what have I done

Dont you know Im numb, man
No I cant feel a thing at all
cause its all smiles and business
These days
And Im indifferent to the loss
Ive faith that theres a soul somewhere
Whos leading me around
I wonder if she knows
Which way is down. . .

Here I stand - sad and free
I cant cry and I cant see
What Ive done
God. . .what have I done

I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
It evaporated. . .see?

Blind man on a canyons edge
Of a panoramic scene
Or maybe Im a kite
Thats flying high and random
Dangling a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a strangers knee
Im sure back home
They think Ive lost my mind.

Here I stand - sad and free
I cant cry and I cant see
What Ive done
God. . .what have I done

"March Of The Pigs"

step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
I want a little bit I want a piece of it I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down
don't like the look of it don't like the taste of it don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down
all the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?
shove it up inside surprise! lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts
I want to break it up I want to smash it up I want to crappity smack it up
I want to watch it come down
maybe afraid of it let's discredit it let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
now doesn't that make you feel better?
the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is all right

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

This one goes to... she knows who she is...

Mystery
Can you hear me
Can you see
There's a storm on the edge of the sky
Does it matter
It does to me, I can tell you why

When there's thunder, there should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule
And is the wise man always right? No he can play the fool

It's always a Mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a Mystery, just like you and me

We are lightning
We are flame
And we burn at the touch of a spark
If there's fire, but no one sees
The there's only the dark

Just imagine, will you try
I can see that you've opened your mind
Silver linings can disappear, but they always shine

It's always a Mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a Mystery, just like you and me

Why do I like this song so much?

Whiskey Lullaby
Brad Paisley, Featuring Alison Krauss

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

I don't know if anyone else is familiar with this song but it's very catchy and I don't mind that fact that it's been stuck in my head for a solid week now.

Artist: Alice Peacock Lyrics
�Leading With My Heart Lyrics

Leading with my heart again,
I'm leading with my heart again.
I don't know if I'll lose or win,
But I'm leading with my heart again.

Putting my mind on hold.
Yeah, I'm putting my mind on hold.
I could be risking my very soul,
But I'm putting my mind on hold.

Yeah, I must admit,
There's just something about your kiss.
An' I can't explain;
Wouldn't want to if I could anyway.

I'm leaping before I look.
Yeah, I'm leaping before I look.
It may not be the same chance you took,
But I'm leaping before I look.

Walking before I crawl. (Walking before you crawl.)
Yeah, I'm walking before I crawl. (Walking before.)
I might tumble, I might fall.
But I'm walking before I crawl.

I know it's dangerous.
I know it's foolish.
But thinking it over,
You can't make me do it.

Sometimes I feel like this, when I'm not doing quite okay. It's just a plaintive sort of song.

Am I Crazy
Rebecca Lavelle

Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I'm to blame
I thought I'd see you and it would be the same
When I look at you
Don't know who I see
It is someone new
Or just a memory?

Days drift by
Sometimes I cry
Never really understood
I always thought that you'd be there
Was I crazy, crazy?
Sometimes it's so unfair

Don't know where I am
Don't know where is home
Don't know much at all
But it ain't much fun alone
Guess I'll work it out
What else can you do
Maybe life goes on with one instead of two

Days drift by
Sometimes I cry
I never really understood
I always thought that you'd be there
Was I crazy, crazy?
Sometimes it's so unfair

and was I crazy, crazy?
Sometimes it's so unfair

This one is for Xena, my most beautiful sister. Keep dreaming... we'll be it:

The Time Warp

It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control

I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again

I know that everyone knows this song and it's overplayed, but I love it. And today the lyrics really meant something to me when they've always just been nice before. Today it seemed way more plaintive and almost... just that kind of sad where you know you'll never get what you long for, no matter how simple it should be. It made me cry.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So, tell me when you gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
And if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, so why don't we go,

Hmmm yea,

This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Oh, Lucy. I'm so depressed. I don't know what to do.

[LUCY]
I think what you need most of all, Charlie Brown, is to come
right out and admit all of the things that are wrong with you.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
All right, I'll try
I'm not very handsome or clever, or lucid,
I've always been stupid at spelling and numbers.
I've never been much playing football ir baseball
Or stickball, or checkers, or marbles, or ping-pong

I'm usually awful at parties and dances,
I stand like a stick or I cough, or I laugh,
Or I don't bring a present, or I spill the ice cream
Or I get so depressed that I stand and I scream...

Oh, how could there possibly be
One small person as thoroughly, totally, uttlerly
Blah as me.

[LUCY]
Well, that's ok for a starter.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
A starter?

[LUCY]
Certainly. You don't think that mentioning these few superficial
failings is going to do you any good, do you? Why, Charlie Brown,
You really have to delve.

You're stupid, self-centered and moody

[CHARLIE BROWN]
I'm moody

[LUCY]
You're terribly dull to be with

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Yes I am.
And nobody likes me,
Not Frieda, or Shermy, or Linus, or Schroeder-

[LUCY]
Or Lucy.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Or Lucy.

[LUCY]
Or Snoopy.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Or Sn-
Wait a minute. Snoopy likes me.

[LUCY]
He only pretends to like you becaus eyou feed him.
That doesn't count.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Or Snoopy.
Oh why- was I born just to be
One small person as thoroughly, totally, utterly-

[LUCY]
Wait!
You're not very much of a person...

[CHARLIE BROWN]
That's certain

[LUCY]
And yet there's a reason for hope.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
There's hope?

[LUCY]
For although you are no good at music,
Like Schroeder, or happy like Snoopy,
Or lovely like me,
You have the distinction to be
No one else but the singular, remarkable, unique
Charlie Brown.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
I'm me!

[LUCY]
Yes- it's amazingly true,
For whatever it's worth, Charlie Brown,
You're you.

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Gosh, Lucy you know something. I'm beginning to feel better already.
You're a true friend, Lucy, a true friend.

[LUCY]
That'll be five cents, please

See Her Smile
tick . . . tick . . . BOOM

[JONATHAN]
It's not you, she says
It's just that life's so hard
We all get through, I say
Hang on tight
I'll be your bodyguard

Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Oh, oh, I just wanna see her smile

It's such a drag, she says
When the world's so mean
It's just a red flag, I say
Gotta look for the green

Oh, oh, oh
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Oh, oh, I just wanna see her smile

Cynical town can be tough on an angel
Clip her wings baby, one, two, three
I'm her clown cause I laugh at
Angels richer than kings
Oh, baby, don't you see?
Baby, don't you agree?

Wish I knew why, she says
But on a sunny day, I find the rain
Let's give it a try, I say
We can dance all through the pain

Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart

Oh, oh
Oh,oh
Oh,oh
Ooooh, oh, oh
I just wanna see her smile
I just wanna see her smile
I just wanna see her smile
I just wanna see her
Just wanna see her...smile

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Hey You
Pink Floyd

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Dont give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, Im coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
Always doing what youre told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

[click of tv being turned on]
Well, only got an hour of daylight left. better get started
Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?
Itll be a lot less safe to stay here. youre fathers gunna pick up our trail before long
Can loca ride?
Yeah, I can ride... magaret, time to go! maigret, thank you for everything
Goodbye chenga
Goodbye miss ...
Ill be back

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Thank you, Evil for introducing me to obsure English bands such as the TCS.

what women do to men
Trashcan Sinatras

someone else will meet her
stay awake and read to her
someone else will love her
did you forget to make up?
did you suppose your lovers' quarrel
would bring a renewal of your love
and then forget to make up?

and you don't know if it's right or wrong
what women do to men

the room is cluttered up with christmas cards
i can just barely see you
the room swirls around me

it's magic
it's magic
it's magic
what women do to men

or is it all just a trend?
the breeze carries summer scent
well maybe that's why she laughs a lot
do you still think we're all just
magic apes and trick dust?
well someone else will love her...

and you don't know if it's right or wrong
and you don't know if it's right or wrong
and you don't know if it's right or wrong
what women do to men

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Speaking of obscure English bands... I love these guys.

XTC
I'm The Man Who Murdered Love
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

He was begging on his bended knee
For me to put him from his misery
He hadn't worked at all this century
Said I'd do a job for all humanity

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

I put a bullet in his sugar head
He thanked me kindly
then he layed down dead
Phoney roses blossomed where he bled
Then all the cheering angels shook my
hand and said

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

Oh it's the middle of the song
I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty
And then I turned and said

There'll be no more pain
from broken hearts
And no more lovers to be torn apart
Before you throw me
in your dungeon dark
Your honour, they'll be putting statues up
In every park

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

So dear public I'm here to confess
That I'm the one who freed us from this mess
Love won't be calling at your adress
'Cause what you never had you never miss,
I guess

I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah, what do you think to that?

If you never, ever use it
You know you're gonna lose it
If you never, ever kiss it
How you ever gonna miss it?

How about obscure brazilian bands?

Faroeste Cabloco
Legiao Urbana

N�o tinha medo o tal Jo�o de Santo Cristo
Era o que todos diziam quando ele se perdeu
Deixou pr� tr�s todo o marasmo da fazenda
S� pr� sentir no seu sangue o �dio que Jesus lhe deu
Quando crian�a s� pensava em ser bandido
Ainda mais quando com tiro de soldado o pai morreu
Era o terror da cercania onde morava
E na escola at� o professor com ele aprendeu
Ia pr� igreja s� pr� roubar o dinheiro
Que as velhinhas colocavam na caixinha do altar
Sentia mesmo que era mesmo diferente
Sentia que aquilo ali n�o era o seu lugar
Ele queria sair para ver o mar
E as coisas que ele via na televis�o
Juntou dinheiro para poder viajar
E de escolha pr�pria escolheu a solid�o
Comia todas as menininhas da cidade
De tanto brincar de m�dico aos doze era professor
Aos quinze foi mandado pro reformat�rio
Onde aumentou seu �dio diante de tanto terror
N�o entendia como a vida funcionava
Descrimina��o por causa da sua classe e sua cor
Ficou cansado de tentar achar resposta
E comprou uma passagem foi direto a Salvador
E l� chegando foi tomar um cafezinho
E encontrou um boiadeiro com quem foi falar
E o boiadeiro tinha uma passagem
Ia perder a viagem mas Jo�o foi lhe salvar:
Dizia ele - Estou indo pr� Bras�lia
Nesse pa�s lugar melhor n�o h�
T� precisando visitar a minha filha
Eu fico aqui e voc� vai no meu lugar
E Jo�o aceitou sua proposta
E num �nibus entrou no Planalto Central
Ele ficou bestificado com a cidade
Saindo da rodovi�ria viu as luzes de natal
- Meu Deus mas que cidade linda!
No Ano Novo eu come�o a trabalhar
Cortar madeira aprendiz de carpinteiro
Ganhava cem mil pro m�s em Taguatinga
Na sexta feira foi pr� zona da cidade
Gastar todo o seu dinheiro de rapaz trabalhador
E conhecia muita gente interessante
At� um neto bastardo do seu bisav�
Um peruano que vivia na Bol�via
E muitas coisas trazia de l
Seu nome era Pablo e ele dizia
Que um neg�cio ele ia come�ar
E Santo Cristo at� a morte trabalhava
Mas o dinheiro n�o dava pr� ele se alimentar
E ouvia �s sete horas o notici�rio
Que dizia sempre que seu ministro ia ajudar
Mas ele n�o queria mais conversa
E decidiu que como Pablo ele ia se virar
Elaborou mais uma vez seu plano santo
E sem ser crucificado a planta��o foi come�ar
Logo, logo os maluco da cidade
Souberam da novidade
- Tem bagulho bom ai!
E Jo�o de Santo Cristo ficou rico
E acabou com todos os traficantes dali
Fez amigos, freq�entava a Asa Norte
Ia pr� festa de Rock pr� se libertar
Mas de repente
Sob um m� influ�ncia dos boyzinhos da cidade
Come�ou a roubar
J� no primeiro roubo ele dan�ou
E pro inferno ele foi pela primeira vez
Viol�ncia e estupro do seu corpo
- Voc�s v�o ver, eu vou pegar voc�s!
Agora Santo Cristo era bandido
Destemido e temido no Distrito Federal
N�o tinha nenhum medo de pol�cia
Capit�o ou traficante, Playboy ou general
Foi quando conheceu uma menina
E de todos os seus pecados ele se arrependeu
Maria L�cia era uma menina linda
E o cora��o dele pr� ela o Santo Cristo prometeu
Ele dizia que queria se casar
E carpinteiro ele voltou a ser
- Maria L�cia eu pr� sempre vou te amar
E um filho com voc� eu quero ter
O tempo passa
E um dia vem na porta um senhor de alta classe com dinheiro na m�o
E ele faz uma proposta indecorosa
E diz que espera uma resposta, uma resposta de Jo�o
- N�o boto bomba em banca de jornal
E nem em col�gio de crian�a
Isso eu n�o fa�o n�o
E n�o protejo general de dez estrelas
Que fica atr�s da mesa com o c� na m�o
E � melhor o senhor sair da minha casa
Nunca brinque com um peixe de ascendente escorpi�o
Mas antes de sair, com �dio no olhar
O velho disse:
- Voc� perdeu a sua vida, meu irm�o!
- Voc� perdeu a sua vida, meu irm�o
- Voc� perdeu a sua vida, meu irm�o
Essas palavras v�o entrar no cora��o
- Eu vou sofrer as conseq��ncias como um c�o.
N�o � que o Santo Cristo estava certo
Seu futuro era incerto
E ele n�o foi trabalhar
Se embebedou e no meio da bebedeira
Descobriu que tinha outro trabalhando em seu lugar
Falou com Pablo que queria um parceiro
Que tamb�m tinha dinheiro e queria se armar
Pablo trazia o contrabando da Bol�via
E Santo Cristo revendia em Planaltina
Mas acontece que um tal de Jeremias
Traficante de renome apareceu por l
Ficou sabendo dos planos de Santo Cristo
E decidiu que com Jo�o ele ia acabar.
Mas Pablo trouxe uma Winchester 22
E Santo Cristo j� sabia atirar
E decidiu usar a arma s� depois
Que Jeremias come�asse a brigar
Jeremias maconheiro sem vergonha
Organizou a Roconha e fez todo mundo dan�ar
Desvirginava mocinhas inocentes
E dizia que era crente mas n�o sabia rezar
E Santo Cristo h� muito n�o ia pr� casa
E a saudade come�ou a apertar
- Eu vou me embora, eu vou ver Maria L�cia
J� est� em tempo de a gente se casar
Chegando em casa ent�o ele chorou
E pro inferno ele foi pela segunda vez
Com Maria L�cia Jeremias se casou
E um filho nela ele fez
Santo Cristo era s� �dio pro dentro
E ent�o o Jeremias pr� um duelo ele chamou
- Amanh�, as duas horas na Ceil�ndia
Em frente ao lote catorze � pr� l� que eu vou
E voc� pode escolher as suas armas
Que eu acabo com voc�, seu porco traidor
E mato tamb�m Maria L�cia
Aquela menina falsa pr� que jurei o meu amor
E Santo Cristo n�o sabia o que fazer
Quando viu o rep�rter da televis�o
Que a not�cia do duelo na TV
Dizendo a hora o local e a raz�o
No s�bado, ent�o as duas horas
Todo o povo sem demora
Foi l� s� pr� assistir
Um homem que atirava pelas costas
E acertou o Santo Cristo
E come�ou a sorrir
Sentindo o sangue na garganta
Jo�o olhou as bandeirinhas
E o povo a aplaudir
E olhou pro sorveteiro
E pr�s c�meras e a gente da TV que filmava tudo ali
E se lembrou de quando era uma crian�a
E de tudo o que viveu at� aqui
E decidiu entrar de vez naquela dan�a
- Se a via-crucis virou circo, estou aqui.
E nisso o sol cegou seus olhos
E ent�o Maria L�cia ele reconheceu
Ela trazia a Winchester 22
A arma que seu primo Pablo lhe deu
- Jeremias, eu sou homem. Coisa que voc� n�o �
Eu n�o atiro pelas costas, n�o.
Olha pr� c� filha da puta sem vergonha
D uma olhada no meu sangue
E vem sentir o teu perd�o
E Santo Cristo com a Winchester 22
Deu cinco tiros no bandido traidor
Maria L�cia se arrependeu depois
E morreu junto com Jo�o, seu protetor
O povo declarava que Jo�o de Santo Cristo
Era santo porque sabia morrer
E a alta burgesia da cidade n�o acreditava na hist�ria
Que ele viram da TV
E Jo�o n�o conseguiu o que queria
Quando veio pr� Bras�lia com o diabo ter
Ele queria era falar com o presidente
Pr� ajudar toda essa gente que s� faz
Sofrer

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

I have recently fallen in love with Regina Spektor. This song is so beautiful-- I love it for no other reason than because it touches my heart.

Samson
Regina Spektor

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread and
Went right back to bed
And the history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us
Not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me i was beautiful and
Came into my bed
Oh i cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that i'd done alright
And kissed me till the morning light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread and
Went right back to bed
Oh we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us
Not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

theme song from Caisno Royale. Really loved the movie.

You know my Name

Chris Cornell

If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name

If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we all been playing

I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins

Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
Forget how to feel

Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
Spin of the wheel

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you ready to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name

This is dedicated to nobody in particular....

"You Suck" by The Murmurs

No one hurt my fragile little mind right now
It's tangled up and don't you know
The pussycat in me is curling up right now
But I'll bloom from the inside out

But right now there's dust on my guitar you ****
And it's all your fault
You paralyze my mind and for that you suck oh ho oh ho

Freedom's on my list today and I'm feeling pissed
But my timeless thoughts and ageless mind
Won't let you get away (let you get away)
And your guilty little conscience won't either

But right now there's dust on my guitar you ****
And it's all your fault
You paralyze my mind and for that you suck Oh ho oh ho

We all take risks we all fall hard
But you you went too far
And I'm to plush for your pathetic digs
And you're the only one you'll scar

But right now there's dust on my guitar you ****
And it's all your fault
You paralyze my mind and for that you suck
And for that you suck oh ho oh ho
Oh ho oh ho
Oh ho oh ho

That Old Black Magic
Harold Arlen & Johnny Mercer

That old black magic has me in its spell,
That old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine,
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.

The same old tingle that I feel inside,
And then that elevator starts its ride.
And down and down I go; round and round I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide.

I should stay away, but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm aflame.
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire.

For you're the lover I have waited for,
The mate that Fate had me created for.
And ev'ry time your lips meet mine,

Darling, down and down I go; round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love.

Wise Up
Aimee Mann

It's not
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop

It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just...give up

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

"Ribbons Undone"
Tori Amos

She's a girl
Rising from a shell
Running to spring
It is her time it is her time
Watch her run with ribbons undone

She's a rose in a lily's cloak
She can hide her charms
It is her right there will be time
To chase the sun with ribbons undone

She runs like a fire does
Just picking up daises
Comes in for a landing
A pure flash of lightening
Past alice blue blossoms
You follow her laughter
And then she'll surprise you
Arms filled with lavender

Yes my little pony is growing up fast
She corrects me and says
"You mean a thoroughbred"
A look in her eyes says the battle's beginning
From school she comes home and cries
I don't want to grow up Mom at least not tonight

You're a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through spring
With summer's hand in reach now
It is your time
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone
It is your time yes my angel
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone

Run run darlin'
Ribbons undone

Vienna
Billy Joel

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize,. Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Just when I think i know everthing Tori, I go and discover this gem of a song. Now, I knew this song, and have always loved it; HOWEVER, the version that on her B*side myself album is...haunting and beautiful, and I just have it on repeat.

Sugar
Tori Amos

Dont say mornings come
Dont say its up to me
If I could take twenty five minutes
Out of the record books
Sugar, he brings me sugar

Bobbys collecting bees
And hammers, he used one on me
Cold war with little boys
Get in with a bubble gum trade and

Sugar, bring me sugar
And all the robins bring, bring me many things but
Sugar, he brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
Ive been gone for miles now

You know, and I know I dont know me very well
And I know, and you know if they found me out
Sugar, he brings me sugar
I know the robins bring, they bring me many things
But sugar, he brings me sugar

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"

Tenderness on the Block
Warren Zevon

Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight
Trying to run before she can walk - that's right
She's growing up
She has a young man waiting
She's growing up
She has a young man waiting
Wide-eyes
She'll be street-wise
To the lies
And the jive talk
She'll find true love
And tenderness on the block

Daddy, don't you ask her when she's coming in
And when she's home don't ask her where she's been
She's going out
She has a young man waiting
She's going out
Can't keep her young man waiting
She'll be okay
Let her have her day
It's a long way
It's a long walk
She'll find true love
And tenderness on the block

I know how much it hurts to see her go
She has a mind of her own, you know
She's all grown up
She has a young man waiting
She's all grown up
She has a young man waiting
She was wide-eyed
Now she's street-wise
To the lies
And the jive talk
She'll find true love
And tenderness on the block
She'll find true love
And tenderness on the block

i also have recently fallen in love with Regina Spektor. my signature is from her song "On the Radio." i wish i could fit the whole second verse on there. ah well. here's the whole thing.

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

This song makes me wish I were in love with someone. It came into my head last night and I hummed it all night long.

When the Stars Go Blue
Ryan Adams

Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars, when the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue, blue, blue
Stars go blue
When the stars go blue

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue, yeah
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow you
I'll follow you, I'll follow you, yeah
Where do you go, yeah
Where do you go
Where do you go

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

For Stretch, especially since she has a Jimmy Buffett quote in her signature (I should have thought of this last month, but I'm old and my mind is mush):

Love In The Library
Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally

On the corner of Government and Bay Avenue
The old doomsday fanatic wore a crown of kudzu
Sirens where wailing in the gulf coastal heat
And it seemed like the whole world was in forced retreat
I paid no attention, revolved through the door
Passed the newspaper rack on the worn marble floor
Near civil war history my heart skipped a beat
She was standing on fiction stretched high on bare feet

Chorus
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time

I was the pirate and she was the queen
Sir Francis and Elizabeth the best there's ever been
Then she strolled past my table and stopped at the stairs
Then sent me a smile as she reached for Flaubert

Chorus
She gathered her books, walked while she read
Words never spoken but so much was said
You can read all you want into this rendezvous
But it's safer than most things that lovers can do
Well stories have endings and fantasies fade
The guard by the door starts drawing the shade
So write your own ending and hope they come true
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue
Chorus

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

One of those songs that just came along and fits so perfectly how I feel right now.

Your Battlefield
Susie Suh

Someday I will ask you if I was a disappointment
And I will ask you if you put your hard earned money
into a bad investment
You will tell me that there are no guarantees
But you've got solutions for securities
And I will ask you, I will ask you
How about my dreams

But you say life is a battlefield.
And you have given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

Someday I will ask myself if I was disillusioned
I will ask myself if I have proven
And I've made it on my own terms
May have suffered some burns
But I am living my dreams
And I am who I wanna be

But you say life is a battlefield
And you have given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

On this path that you've tread
On this map that is yours
Well I have to say, I have to say for sake
That I can't fight your war
I can't fight your war

But you say life is a battlefield
And you have given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

Heya ooohhh �

This is your battlefield
This is my life that you're asking for
This is my life that you're wanting much more than yours

But you say life is a battlefield
And you have given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

This is your battlefield
This is your, this is your �

You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Great band, great song. A little Evanescence-y. My brother is actually acquaintances with Meg. They are so gonna be famous; they're from Salt Lake area.

Monster
Meg and Dia

His little whispers.
Love Me. Love Me.
That's all I ask for.
Love Me. Love Me.
He battered his tiny fists to feel something.
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the window...
That night he caged her.
Bruised and broke her.
He struggled closer.
Then he stole her.
Violet wrists and then her ankles.
Silent Pain.
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the windows.
I will.
Hear their voices.
I'm a glass child.
I am Hannah's regrets.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down.
Murder ears with pillow lace.
There's bath tubs.
Full of glow flies.
Bathe in kerosene.
Their words tattoed in his veins.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

i so so love this song. and i adore the Corrs cover that they did with Bono. when they do the musical break and Bono and the singer dance, it is such an awkward but poetic moment. *sigh*

Oh wow, this one is old memories...

Sparks
by Coldplay

Did I drive you away?
I know what you�ll say,
You say, �Oh, sing one we know,�
But I promise you this,
I�ll always look out for you,
That�s what I�ll do.

I say �oh,�
I say �oh.�

My heart is yours,
It�s you that I hold on to,
That�s what I do,
And I know I was wrong,
But I won�t let you down,

(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will�)

I say �oh,�
I cry �oh.�

Yeah I saw sparks,
Yeah I saw sparks,
And I saw sparks,
Yeah I saw sparks,

Sing it out.

La, la, la, la, oh�
La, la, la, la, oh�
La, la, la, la, oh�

American Dreaming (Dead Can Dance)

I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself.
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land.

We've been too long American Dreaming
I think we've all lost the way.
Fare along somnambulistic, maniacal in the dark.

I'm in love with an American girl
Well she's my best friend.
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her.

And we'll go dancing beside desert waters
Where love is so wastefully spent.
And dine upon the crumbs of faith
Most lovers often reject.

I believe the rising wind blows.
I believe the rising wind blows.
How long, how long?

Fare along in our dark driven ways
Where safety is sat by the fire.
Spare a thought for the unfortunate man
Who must choose between love and desire.

We've been too long American Dreaming
I think we've all lost the heart.
Fare along somnambulistic, maniacal in the dark.

I believe the rising wind blows.
I believe the rising wind blows.
How long, how long?

Yeah...not gonna lie. This about sums it up.

Everything

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it�s going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you�ve never met anyone
who is as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met.
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected.
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
Who's as positive as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can�t relate
And you�re still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you�ve never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can�t relate
And you�re still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

I'm the funniest woman you've ever known.
I am the dullest woman you've ever known.
I'm the most gorgeous woman you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as, as everything as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can�t relate
And you�re still here

And you�re still here
And you're still here...

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"

I Could Be Santa (from The Year Without A Santa Claus)

Who would know the difference
if Santa Claus was me
Yes, who would know the difference
Just Santa Claus and me!

Anyone can be Santa
Why can't a lady like me?
I admit I'm under fed
but with a pillow from the bed
I could be Santa Claus

Oh, anyone can play Santa
I've fantasized it a lot
With his hat upon my head
and his suit of Christmas red
I could be Santa Claus

And with his HO HO HO
I'd be going down the chimneys with his sack
And although my curls may be showing
I'll make sure they only see me from the back

Yes, anyone can be Santa
A tantalizing remark
Though his boots are not my size
With a twinkle in my eyes
I could be Santa Claus

With his reindeer and his sleigh
I'd be up, up and away
Yes, I could be Santa
I could be Santa
I could be Santa Claus

Because it's true.

Surrounded
Chantal Kreviazuk

I was there
When you shone as bright as Bethlehem
from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong
And perverted
And everything that makes a young man
A star
Oh you were a star

I was there
And I swear to god
And on my mother�s grave
On everything I have
Or ever will embrace
I was there
And I saw it with my own two eyes

And now it�s all around me
It�s all around me
I�m surrounded
Now it�s all around me
It�s all around me
You surround me like a circle

I was there
C�mon and tell me I wasn�t worth
Sticking it out for
Well I was there
And I know I was worth it
Cause if I wasn�t worth it
That makes me worse off than you are

But don�t lose sight of me now
Don�t lose sight of me now

I was there
When you dropped the bomb
You know I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb
And I still fight the bomb
You know I still fear the bomb
You know I still hate the bomb
Sometimes I still get the call

So don�t lose sight of me now
You know you�re all around me
I�m surrounded
You surround me like a circle

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Ispired by the color scheme:

Snowblind
Dennis DeYoung and James Young

Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face you�ve shown me scares me so
I thought that I could call your bluff
But now the lines are clear enough
Life�s not pretty even though
Vie tried so hard to make it so
Mornings are such cold distress
How did I ever get into this mess

I�m snow-blind, cant live without you
So fine I just cant get away
Now I'm snow-blind, snow-blind, snow-blind

Harmless and innocent you devil in white
You stole my will without a fight
You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes
You tricked me with visions of paradise
Now I realize I�m

Snow-blind, cant live without you
So fine I just cant get away
Now I�m snow-blind, snow-blind, snow-blind

Mirror, mirror I confess
I cant escape this emptiness
No more reason to pretend
Here comes that same old feeling again

Snow-blind, cant live without you
So fine I just cant get away
Wont you throw me a lifeline
I�m going down for the third time
I�m snow-blind, and I cant get away

For Stretch:

Jet Airliner
Steve Miller

Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home
But my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Touchin' down in New England town
Feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's there that I belong

*sigh* It's good. It feels good.

The Captain
Ingram Hill

Let the captain take you home
Pack it up and you'll be gone
Make it warmer in the back
You'll never be left here alone

Grab a blanket and rest your head
shift around in your so-called bed
'Cause tonight I am your captain
I hold your life inside my hands

Ride along these empty streets
Wind's blowin, no shoes on my feet
Crazy life fueled by crazy dreams
and all along, you were waiting for me
The Captain

Let the captain take you home
Fend away those sticks and stones
Mold your life the best I can
'Cause soon you'll be on your own

Sleep between us in the bed
Guess we'll stay in Memphis instead
'Cause for now I am your captain
I hold your life in my hands

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Good Morning, Good Morning
Lennon et McCartney

Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah

Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day how's your boy been
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's OK

Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah

Going to work don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own you're in the street

After a while you start to smile now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school
Nothing is changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's OK

Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah

People running round it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town is getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the wife

Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear
Go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say but it's OK

Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good

The Next Ten Minutes
from The Last Five Years

JAMIE
No, that one's Jerry Seinfeld
That one's John Lennon there
No, the Dakota
The San Remo is up a few blocks
Have you been inside the Museum?
We should go
Meet the dinosaurs
cathy

Will you share your life with me
For the next ten minutes?
For the next ten minutes
We can handle that
We could watch the waves
We could watch the sky
Or just sit and wait
As the time ticks by
And if we make it till then
Can I ask you again
For another ten?

And if you in turn agree
To the next ten minutes
And the next ten minutes
Till the morning comes
Then just holding you
Might compel me to
Ask you for more
There are so many lives I want to share with you
I will never be complete until I do

CATHY
I'm not always on time
Please don't expect that from me
I will be late
But if you can just wait
I will make it eventually
Not like it's in my control
Not like I'm proud of the fact
But anything other than being exactly on time
I can do

I don't know why people run
I don't know why things fall through
I don't know how anybody survives in this life
Without someone like you
I could protect and preserve
I could say no and goodbye
But why, Jamie, why?
I want to be your wife
I want to bear your child
I want to die
Knowing I
Had a long, full life in your arms
That I can do
Forever, with you

JAMIE
Will you share your life with me

CATHY
Forever

JAMIE
For the next ten lifetimes?

CATHY
Forever, Jamie

JAMIE
For a million summers

BOTH
Till the world explodes
Till there's no one left
Who has ever known us apart

JAMIE
There are so many dreams
I need to see with you...

CATHY
There are so many years
I need to be with you...

JAMIE
I will never be complete

CATHY
I will never be alive

JAMIE
I will never change the world
Until I do

CATHY
I do

JAMIE
I do

CATHY
I do

BOTH
I do...

CATHY
Is that one John Lennon?
That's the San Remo
Isn't that the Museum?
Can we go see the dinosaurs?

Songs With Meanings

Artist: Queensryche
Album: Greatest Hits
Title: Eyes Of A Stranger

[ page ]: dr. david, telephone please. dr. david
Dr. blair, dr. blair, dr. j. hamilton, dr. j hamilton

All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime i try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me

And i raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And i raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare [lies behind my stare]

How many times must i live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All i want is the same as everyone
Why am i here, and for how long

And i raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

From Where I'm Standing
Schuyler Fisk

from where i'm standing
you're the quiet side of the road
you're looking so lonely
and i can't stop looking at you
your head is hanging
trying to beat those goodbye blues
i bet you'll be fine
i bet you'll be fine

i guess it's not the way
you always planned it
looks like you're heading for a
crash landing
that's just the way it looks
from where i'm standing
from where i'm standing

from where i'm standing
i think i caught your eye
are you looking at me
cause i swear i saw you smile
and i'm coming over
gonna take things off your mind
and i bet you'll be fine
and i bet you'll be fine

i guess it's not the way
you always planned it
looks like you're heading for a
crash landing
that's just the way it looks
from where i'm standing

from where i'm standing
let it fall
let it come down
let it crash around you
around you

i guess it's not the way
you always planned it
looks like you're heading for a
crash landing
that's just the way it looks
from where i'm standing
that's just the way it looks
from where i'm standing
from where i'm standing
i might make you mine
i might make you mine
from where i'm standing

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Oh my gosh, I love this song. They use it in one of my favorite episodes so far of Grey's Anatomy . I. Love. It. It's so spunky and heartfelt and good.

Where Does the Good Go
Tegan and Sara

Where do you go with your broken heart in tow?
What do you do with the left over you?
And how do you know, when to let go?
Where does the good go? Where does the good go?

Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go
Look me in the eye and promise no love's like our love
Look me in the heart and un break broken, it won't happen

It's love that leaves that breaks the seal of always thinking you would be
Real happy and healthy, strong and calm
Where does the good go? Where does the good go?

Where do you go when you're in love and the world knows?
How do you live so happily while I am sad and broken down?
What do you say it's up for grabs now that you're on your way down?
Where does the good go? Where does the good go?

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

All of the Good Ones Are Taken
Ian Hunter

Girl-things aint been goin too good for me
Girl-Im living in the middle of a mystery
Youre the only one that can turn me on

n now that youre gone I said
Girl-Im livin in the middle of your memory
Girl-youre still the figure in my favorite fantasy

I know you know
Thats the way it goes
And still my love grows-i said

All o the good, all o the good ones are taken
All o the good, all o the good ones are taken

Im hangin around with my head in the air
Watchin the lovers go by
I had a lover-but she never cared
All you could say was goodbye

Maybe I was mistaken
Maybe I got it wrong

But all of the good ones are taken from now on
n girl-Im livin in the middle of a broken dream
I said girl-all this fallin in love aint like it seems

Out in the rain-cant you feel my pain
Again n again n again n again n again

All of the good, all o the good ones are taken
Maybe I was mistaken-maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken in my song

To my friends... of course I'll play...

Masquerade
Berlin

The painted faces on the street
caricatures of long ago
oh they were young and oh so sweet
down beyond the boulevard
knock on doors and empty halls
and still sometimes remember
the masquerade's forever

when you see the price they paid
i'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

the reeling figurtes pass on by
like ghosts in some forgotten play
beneath the black and empty sky
music plays and figures dance
with partners chosen by chance
and still some times remember
the masquerade's forever

they reached for tomorrow
but tomorrows, more of the same
so they reached for tomorrow
but tomorrow never came

when you hear the price they paid
i'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

one by one and two by two
past eight by tens in shattered frames
the players try to leave the room
frantic puppets on a string
and all the while the music sings
and still sometimes remember
the masquerade's forever

Ooooooooohhhhhhh...this song is so ass creepy and hot all at the same time! I LOVE IT!

Psychobabble
by FrouFrou

How did you get this number?
I can't get my head 'round you
Of course you're not coming over
Snap out of it
You're not making any sense

You couldn't be more wrong, darling
I never gave out these signs
You misunderstand all meaning
Snap out of it
I'm not falling for this one

If love is surrender
Then whose war is it anyway?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

If you think that it's so damn easy
Then what do you need me for?
Just look at the state of you
Babe, snap out of it
You're not listening to this

And just for once could you
Let me finish my sentence?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

Make no sudden movements
And no one will get hurt
You're not coming over
If you know what's good for me
Why would I be leaving you?

Now, I've had it up to here
Don't ever try that again
Why are you so quiet so suddenly?
Go on, have it
You're just dying to try me

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

So, what do we do now?
What do we do now?
What do we do now?
What do we do now?

Corner of the Sky
Pippin

Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the windowsill
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have
Of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life to be
Something more than long....

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn:

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

This one can never be posted too many times:

HALLELUJAH
by Leonard Cohen

heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Maybe I have been here before, I know this room; I have walked this floor, I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march, it's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

There was a time you let me know whats really going on below, but now you never show it to me, do you? (and)
Remember when I moved in you; the holy dark was moving too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And its not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody who's seen the light, its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu--jah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu---u---jah

I think I posted this a while back. But apparently my idiot tolerance level is pretty low today, so this fits my mood:

The Ass and the Hole in the Ground
Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson

This modern age we live in
It's hard to figure out
Is anybody out there talkin'
Has a clue what they're talkin' about?
There's twisted trends and psychic friends and tabloid UFOs
The wisest man with the best laid plans might
Still say I don't know
What do you think? I say well....

They must not be that different
The ass and the hole in the ground
They often are mistaken for each other I have found
Oh and life rewards the ones who try until they got it down
The difference between the ass and the hole in the ground

Politics and O.J., everybody's heard enough
But no amount of talking can change a mind that's been made up
We got presidential pillow talk, they know just what to say
Whatever side you're on, one thing's for certain either way....

They must not be that different
The ass and the hole in the ground
They often are mistaken for each other I have found
Oh and life rewards the ones who try until they got it down
The difference between the ass and the hole in the ground

In the morning paper, in the evening news
It seem so easy to tell
When the Lord looks down on the things we do
He might get angry and He might say well....

They must not be that different
(instrumental)
Oh and life rewards the ones who try until they got it down
The difference between the ass and the hole in the ground

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Straighten Up and Fly Right--Nat King Cole

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,
The monkey thought that ev' - ry - thing was on the square.
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off of his back,
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now list - en, Jack.

Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and fly right, --
Cool down, Papa, don't you blow your top.
Ain't no use in divin', what's the use in drivin'?
Straighten up and fly right, --
Cool down, Papa, don't you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey, "You are chokin' me;
Release your holt and I will set you free."
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye,
And said, "Your story's so touchin' it sounds just like a lie."

Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and fly right, --
Cool down, Papa, don't you blow your top.
Ain't no use in divin', what's the use in drivin'?
Straighten up and fly right, --
Cool down, Papa, don't you blow your top.

"Numb"
Portishead

Unable so lost
I can't find my way
Been searching, but I have never seen
A turning, a turning from deceit

Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel

I can't understand myself anymore
But I m still feeling lonely
Feeling so unholy

Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
But this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone

I'm fooling somebody
A faithless path to roam
Deceiving to breath this secretly
This silence, a silence I can't bear

Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone, ohh no

A lady of war

I have several versions of that song on my iPod (Rufus Wainwright, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Elisa), but I don't have that one... I need to find it. It's one of my favorite songs in the whole entire world. Rufus Wainwright's version is my favorite, closely followed by Elisa's.

Angel of Sadness - A Camp

Something's watching over me
There's someone in my house that I can't see
I've asked her many times to leave
She tells me she's not evil
In my hours of confidence
When feeling real and worthy of my friends
When I let go of my defence
She's waiting in a corner

Angel of sadness
Leave me alone
Save me some hours
To try on my own
When the music is over
The silence is on
You know I will be yours alone
So pick me up
And carry me home

Life with her is getting hard
It's like I'm not the driver of my own car
I'm not the holder of my credit card
Oh Jesus, make me sober
Misery comes and lovers go
I lose myself and sometimes I don't know
She says I've always told you so
But I'll stay with you forever

Angel of sadness
Leave me alone
Save me some hours
To try on my own
When the music is over
The silence is on
You know I will be yours alone
So pick me up
And carry me home

Angel of sadness
Angel of grief
Save me some hours
Then please can you leave
When the music is over
The silence is on
I'll be completely on my own
But I'll work it out
And find me a home

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

You and Me
The Delays

To the bitter end I have fought alone,
Now this cavalry is coming home,

Like a motorcade lost in tickertape,
I have felt my way to you again,
On any other day there�d be a marching band,
But I stole away before they cut me down,

What say we go, meet by the well?
Don�t tell a soul, this is our time�

And we can lay low tonight; no I don�t have the will to fight,
My president or his designs; you & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna be fine�

Cos you knew me when I was wide awake,
Now I sleep all day, oh my mistake!

Oh any other day, there�d be a marching band,
But I stole away before the curtain fell,

What say we go, meet by the well?
Don�t tell a soul, this is our time�

Yeah we can lay low tonight; no I don�t have the will to fight
My President or his designs; you & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna be fine

In time, inside, here comes the falling rain,
In time, inside, here comes the pouring rain,
In time, inside, here comes the falling rain,
In time, inside, here comes the poison rain,

Yeah we can lay low tonight; no I don�t have the will to fight
My President or his denials; you & me coulda been fine,

Oh we can lay low tonight; we can set the flag alight,
We�re clawing back the time, when youth was on our side,

You & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna be fine

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
by John Mayer

It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of
this love we've been workin on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
so I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
we pulled too many false alarms

We're goin down
and you can see it too
We're goin down
and you know that we're doomed
my dear
we're slow dancing in a burnin room

I was the one you always dreamed of
you were the one i tried to draw
how dare you say it's nothin to me
baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I make the most of all the sadness
you'll be a bitch because you can
you try to hit me just hurt me
so you leave me feelin dirty cuz you can't understand

We're goin down
and you can see it too
We're goin down
and you know that we're doomed
my dear
we're slow dancing in a burnin room

Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
my dear, we're slow dancin in a burnin room
burnin room, burnin room
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

to today. �and driving and doing sev runs and singing sillily along and laughing.

Song Beneath the Song

- Maria Taylor

Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern its true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

Oh now the roots are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metred time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
The cymbals swell
High notes flail into reach

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

It's not a love, it's not a love,
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

(ps- yes, chels, i said "sillily." deal with it.)

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

It's not for anyone but the person it should be for.

Scratch
Kendall Payne

It's a big girl world now
Full of big girl things
And everyday I wish I was small
I've been counting on nothing
But he keeps giving me his word
And I am tired of hearing myself speak
Do you ever get weary?
Do you ever get weak?
How do you dream
When you can't fall asleep?

I've been wondering what you're thinking
And if you like my dress tonight?
Would you still say you love me
Under this ordinary moonlight?
I'm so afraid of what you'll say.

Chorus
I'd like to know if you'd be open
To starting over from scratch
I'd like to know if you'd be open
To giving me a second chance

I used to think I was special
And only I have proved me wrong
I thought I could change
The world with a song
But I have ended up in India
With no lamp to guide me home.
The strangest place I think
I have ever been
And all this time
I thought that we were friends
My stubborn will is learning to bend.

I'd like to know if you'd be open
To starting over from scratch
I'd like to know if you'd be open
To giving me a second chance

I'd like to know if you'd be open
To starting over from scratch
I'd like to know if you'd be open
To giving me a second chance

It's a big girl world now
Full of big girl things

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Yo', Kaylee. This one is for you:

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Young, Young, and Scott

If you're havin' trouble with your high school head
He's givin' you the blues
You wanna graduate but not in 'is bed
Here's what you gotta do -
Pick up the phone
I'm always home
Call me any time
Just dial
36 24 36 hey
I lead a life of crime

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

You got problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
He's double dealin' with your best friend
That's when the teardrops start -
Pick up the phone
I'm here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We'll have ourselves a ball

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

If you got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain't got the guts
She keeps naggin' at you night and day
Enough to drive you nuts -
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It's time you made a stand
For a fee
I'm happy to be
Your back door man

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

Concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT
Done Dirt Cheap
Neckties, contracts, high voltage
Done Dirt Cheap

I Will Follow You Into the Dark
Death Cab For Cutie

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Alles nur geklaut
Die Prinzen

Ich schreibe einen Hit,
die ganze Nation kennt ihn schon,
alle singen mit,
ganz laut im Chor, das geht ins Ohr.
Keiner kriegt davon genug,
alle halten mich f�r klug,
hoffentlich merkt keiner den Betrug.

Denn das ist alles nur geklaut,
das ist alles gar nicht meine,
das ist alles nur geklaut,
doch das wei� ich nur ganz alleine,
das ist alles nur geklaut
und gestohlen,
nur gezogen
und geraubt.
Entschuldigung, das hab' ich mir erlaubt.

Ich bin tierisch reich,
ich fahre einen Benz, der in der Sonne gl�nzt.
Ich hab 'n gro�en Teich,
und davor ein Schloss und ein wei�es Ross,
ich bin ein gro�er Held,
und ich reise um die Welt,
ich werde immer sch�ner durch mein Geld.

Und das ist alles nur geklaut...

Ich will dich gern verf�hr'n,
doch bald schon merke ich:
das wird nicht leicht f�r mich.
Ich geh' mit dir spazier'n
und spreche ein Gedicht in dein Gesicht.
Ich sag, ich schrieb es nur f�r dich,
und dann k�sst du mich,
denn zu meinem Gl�ck wei�t du nicht:

Das ist alles nur geklaut...

Auf deinen Heiligenschein
fall' ich auch nicht mehr rein,
denn auch du hast, Gott sei Dank,
garantiert noch was im Schrank.

Und das ist alles nur geklaut
das ist alles gar nicht deine,
das ist alles nur geklaut,
doch das wei�t du nur ganz alleine,
das ist alles nur geklaut
und gestohlen
nur gezogen
und geraubt.
Wer hat dir das erlaubt?
Wer hat dir das erlaubt?

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

O� ES-TU PASS� MON SAINT GERMAIN DES PR�S
Album : Caf� De Flore - Rendez-Vous � Saint-Germain Des Pr�s
(Michel Legrand)

Nicoletta (France)

Que s'est-il pass� mon Saint Germain Des Pr�s
Non, rien ne peut plus masquer tes yeux cern�s
On te lumi�rise, on te concertise
Mais ton cour s'�bat, ne bat plus du bon c�t�

O� es-tu pass� mon Saint Germain Des Pr�s
Toi qui m'a donn� la main pour me trouver
M�me tes fen�tres ouvertes sont closes
Qui a bien pu t'emmener

Un soir, il pleuvait, moi je te d�couvrais
Et je d�couvre qu'on s'�tait mis l'amiti�, l'amour,

Et encore mieux que �a,
Un monde � moi, dans ce monde

O� tu es pass� mon Saint Germain Des Pr�s
Ma jeunesse appelle, elle ne veut plus penser
Qu'il pleut sur la ville,

Qu'une fille titube, d�route, avec sa solitude

Why yes, I AM the Mekong River Commission!

One Line
PJ Harvey

Do you remember the first kiss?
Star shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind

I'm watching from the wall
As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight

And I draw a line
To your heart today
To heart from mine
A line to keep us safe

All through the rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only one
Who could have brought me here

And I draw a line
To your heart today
To heart from mine
A line to keep us safe
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To heart from mine
And pray to keep us safe

Watch the stars now moving
Across the sky
Keep this feeling
Safe tonight

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Last night, BP fully made me burst into tears at karaoke with this number. Seriously. Tears streaming down my face in the middle of the bar.

Love Of A Lifetime
Firehouse

I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true
With love that we can share

With you I never wonder - Will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - You're the right one for me

I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) We know that we will be together
Because our love is strong

I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

It was one of those Gino's moments where I knew Tara was behind me pitching a fit about the girl at the bar to Sanctuary and Spiker, Tammy was over cackling with Brett at the pool tables, the plastic surgeon was picking up on a different girl to take home this week, Doug was over humming his next song to himself in the corner, but i could swear there was NO one else in the bar!

Just my BP locking eyes with me, and singing to me.

Tears. Down. My. Face.

This song came up on my playlist just now and it ALWAYS makes me cry, so I'm crying at work. Way to be, huh?

Nightminds
Missy Higgins

Just lay it all down.
Put your face into my neck and let it fall out.
I know
I know
I know.
I knew before you got home.
This world you're in now,
It doesn't have to be alone,
I'll get there somehow, 'cos
I know I know I know
When, even springtime feels cold.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise,
Out of our nightminds, and into the light
At the end of the fight...

You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified.
The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die.
And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
So I know
I know
I know,
It's easier to let go.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
And into the light at the end of the fight.

...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
And into the light... at the end of the fight...

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

i have this song stuck in my head today.

in this heart - sinead o connor

In this heart lies for you
A lark born only for you
Who sings only to you
My love
My love
My love

I am waiting for you
For only to adore you
My heart is for you
My love
My love
My love

This is my grief for you
For only the loss of you
The hurting of you
My love
My love
My love

There are rays on the weather
Soon these tears will have cried
All loneliness have died
My love
My love
My love

I will have you with me
In my arms only
For you are only
My love
My love
My love

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
by John Mayer

It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of
this love we've been workin on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
so I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
we pulled too many false alarms

We're goin down
and you can see it too
We're goin down
and you know that we're doomed
my dear
we're slow dancing in a burnin room

I was the one you always dreamed of
you were the one i tried to draw
how dare you say it's nothin to me
baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I make the most of all the sadness
you'll be a bitch because you can
you try to hit me just hurt me
so you leave me feelin dirty cuz you can't understand

We're goin down
and you can see it too
We're goin down
and you know that we're doomed
my dear
we're slow dancing in a burnin room

Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
my dear, we're slow dancin in a burnin room
burnin room, burnin room
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

This song came on in my car last night and I sat at a stoplight and sobbed. Think I'm cycling back down again, but only a little. I'm really okay most of the time. But this song just gets to me bigtime... for some reason it seems to be the sort of song that would play over a funeral or a death in a TV series. It's just so spare and haunting.

Hide and Seek
Imogen Heap

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to fall
crop circles in the carpet
sinking, feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears
they were here first

Mmmm what do you say,
Mmmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm what do you say,
Mmmm that's all for the best?
ah of course it is
Mmmm what do you say?
Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
Mmmm what do you say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling
no I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
midsweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling
no, I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
oh no, you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit

"The Reason" Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

You can't get a "yes" if you never ask the question.

Fools in Love
Inara George

Fools in love, well are there any other kinds of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your baby love
Your baby love your baby
Love your baby love...

Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your baby love
Your baby love your baby
Love your baby, love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing except you and your baby love
Your baby love your baby
Love your baby love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

RIDE ON
(Young, Young, Scott)
It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down.
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head.
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -

I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on
Standing on the edge of the road
Ride on
Thumb in the air
Ride on
One of these days
Ride on
I'm gonna change my evil ways
Ride on
Till then I'll just keep riding on.

Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat.
But I'm lonely
God I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -
Ride on
Ride on
Got my self a one way ticket
Ride on
Ride on
Going the wrong way
Ride on
Gonna change my evil ways
Ride on
One of these days
One of these days
Ride on
Ride on
Gonna ride on
Ride on
Looking for a truck
Ride on

oh, such sighs to this song

'Amazing' by BLUE OCTOBER

How am I supposed to breathe?
I try to relax. I touch your still frame
So I can watch you closer
And study the ways I believe I belong to you
I scratch at your waist line... your doll hair
I dig up the thought of how your eyes glow
So I make you my religion, my collision, an escape goat
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?

Can you pretend I'm amazing?
I can pretend I'm amazing...
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can you pretend I'm amazing
Instead of what we both know

Now our history is for sale
And for that I apologize
You see you're my only know how
The study of when I believe I belonged to you
You see I've made you into something delicious,
My sweet ghost
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?

Can you pretend I'm amazing?
I can pretend I'm amazing...
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can you pretend I'm amazing
Instead of what we both know

oh... wow. this song just pulls at me.

space they cannot touch

kate miller-heidke

How's my luck � But somehow I'm with you � Let's leave now � Let's leave them � And their point of view � My favourite place is me and you � I wake up in darkest night � Watch you breathe in shadow light � A perfect world lies next to me � And I don't need to sleep to dream

I just hope I am good enough to keep you

Morning sun warms our skin � Distant sounds � The day begins � Soon their world will come calling for us � But this is space they cannot touch

I just hope I am good enough to keep you

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

I have only the vaguest idea what this song means. But it makes me cry. I wish I knew what it talked about, or understood it fully, but I do know that it's something beautiful.

Una Poesia Anche Per Te
Elisa

Forse non sai quel che darei
Perch� tu sia felice
Piangi lacrime di aria
Lacrime invisibili
Che solamente gli angeli
san portar via

Ma cambier� stagione
ci saranno nuove rose

E ci sar�
dentro te e al di l�
dell�orizzonte
una piccola
poesia

Ci sar�
forse esiste gi� al di l�
dell�orizzonte
una poesia anche per te

Vorrei rinascere per te
e ricominciare insieme come se
non sentissi pi� dolore
ma tu hai tessuto sogni di cristallo troppo coraggiosi e
fragili
per morire adesso
solo per un rimpianto

Ci sar�
dentro e te e al di l�
dell�orizzonte
una piccola poesia

Ci sar�
dentro e te e al di l�
dell�orizzonte
una poesia anche per te

Perdona e dimenticherai
per quanto possa fare male in fondo sai
che sei ancora qui
e dare tutto e dare tanto quanto il tempo in cui il tuo segno rimarr�
questo nodo lo sciolga il sole come sa fare con la neve

Ci sar�
dentro e te e al di l�
dell�orizzonte
una piccola poesia

Ci sar�
forse esiste gi� al di l�
dell�orizzonte
una poesia anche per te
anche per te
per te

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Because I can

Artist: Tone Loc
Album: Loc'ed After Dark
Title: Funky Cold Medina

cold cooling at a ball
looking for some action
but like Mick Jagger said
I can't get no satisfaction
the girls are all around
but none of them wanna get with me
my threads are fresh and I'm looking def
yo, wassup with the l-o-c
the girls are all jocking
at the other end of the bar
having drinks with some no-name chump
when they know that I'm the star
so I got up and strolled over
to the other side of the cantina
I asked the guy, "why you so fly?"
he said "funky cold medina"

this brother told me a secret
on how to get more chicks
put a little medina in your glass
and the girls'll come real quick
it's better than any alcohol
or afrodesiac
a couple of sips of this love potion and she'll be on your lap
so I gave some to my dog, when he began to big
and then he licked his bowl and he looked at me
and did the wild thing on my leg
he used to scratch and bite me
before he was much much meaner
but now all the poodles run to my house for the funky cold medina

you know what I'm saying
I got every dog in my neighborhood breaking down my door
I got Spuds McKenzie, Alex from Strolls
they won't leave my dog alone with that medina thing

I went up to this girl
she said "Hi, my name Sheena"
I thought she'd be good to go with a little funk cold medina,
she said "I'd like a drink", I said "ok, I'll go get it"
and then a couple of sips, she cold licked her lips and I knew that she was
with it
so I took her to my crib
and everything went well as planned
but when she got undressed it was big old mess
Sheena was a man
so I threw him out
I don't fool around with no Oscar Meyer weiner
you must be sure that the girl is pure for the funky cold medina

you know,
ain't no plans with a man,
this is the 80s and I'm down the ladies,

break it down,

back in the saddle, looking for a little affection
I took a shot, I thought I'd test it on the Love Connection
the audience guests voted, and you know, they picked a winner
I took my date to the Hilton ford
media had some dinner
she had a few drinks, I'm thinking soon what I'd be getting,
but that's when she starting talking 'bout plans for a wedding,
I said "wait, slow down love, not so fast, I'll be seeing ya",
that's why I found you don't play around with the funky cold medina

you know what I'm saying
that medina's a monster y'all

And

Artist: Kris Kross
Album: Totally Krossed Out
Title: Jump

Jump Jump
You should know, you should know that ahhh
Kris Kross is not having anything today
As we stand there totally krossed out
We commence to make you

Jump Jump
The Mac Dad will make you Jump Jump
The Daddy Mac will make you Jump Jump
Kris Kross will make you Jump Jump

Don't try to compare us to another bad little fad
I'm the Mac and I'm bad give you something that you never had
I'll make ya Jump Jump wiggle and shake your rump
Cause I'll be kicking the flavor that makes you wanna Jump
How high? Real high
Cause I'm just so fly
A young loveable, hugable type of guy
And everything is the back with a little slack
And inside-out is wiggida wiggida wack
I come stompin' with somethi' to keep you jumpin
R&B abd bullcrap is what I'm dumpin'
And ain't something about Kris Kross we all that
So when they ask to the rocks they believe that

Jump Jump
The Mac Dad will make you Jump Jump
The Daddy Mac will make you Jump Jump
Kris Kross will make you Jump Jump
uh huh uh huh
Jump Jump
The Mac Dad will make you Jump Jump
The Daddy Mac will make you Jump Jump
Kris Kross will make you Jump Jump

I let myself knockin' knockin'
I love it when a girl is play jockin' jockin'
The D-A-double D-Y-M-A-C
Ya you know me
I got you jumpin' an' pumpin' an' movin' all around G
In the mix I make ya take a step back
They try to step to the Mac then they got jacked
To the back you'll be sportin' the gear that's coincidental
And like you knowit so don't be claiming that it's mental

Two lil' kids with a flow you ain't ever heard
And none faking you can understyand every word
As you listen to my cool school melody
The Daddy makes you J-U-M-P

Jump Jump
The Mac Dad will make you Jump Jump
The Daddy Mac will make you Jump Jump
Kris Kross will make you Jump Jump
uh huh uh huh
Jump Jump
The Mac Dad will make you Jump Jump
The Daddy Mac will make you Jump Jump
Kris Kross will make you Jump Jump

Now, the formalities of this and that
Is that Kris Kross ain't comin' off wack
And for all ya'll sucks that don't know
Check it out

Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this Go Go
Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this Go Go
Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this Go Go

Fools in Love
Inara George

Fools in love, well are there any other kinds of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your baby love
Your baby love your baby
Love your baby love...

Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your baby love
Your baby love your baby
Love your baby, love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing except you and your baby love
Your baby love your baby
Love your baby love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

As an FYI: This is a Joe Jackson song, off of his first album Look Sharp, which also had the hit song "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" on it. Having not heard this version, I can't comment on its quality, but I know the original is grrrrreat!

Hallelujah is a great song. I absolutely love KD langs version.

I have several versions of that song on my iPod (Rufus Wainwright, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Elisa), but I don't have that one... I need to find it. It's one of my favorite songs in the whole entire world. Rufus Wainwright's version is my favorite, closely followed by Elisa's.

Jeff Buckley's version is the slice-open-an-artery-est version, IMHO.

A contribution, which fell into my head this morning for no reason I can think of...

Shoplifters of the World, Unite! (Morrissey/Marr) - The Smiths

Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crime
My only weakness is ... well, never mind, never mind

Oh, shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over
Hand it over
Hand it over

Learn to love me
And assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow, and always
My only weakness is a listed crime
But last night the plans of a future war
Was all I saw on Channel Four

Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over
Hand it over
Hand it over

A heartless hand on my shoulder
A push - and it's over
Alabaster crashes down
(Six months is a long time)
Tried living in the real world
Instead of a shell
But before I began ...
I was bored before I even began

Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Take over

And, in the spirit of musicals and foreign languages, is anyone familiar with this one?:

Marieke - Jaques Brel

Ay, Marieke, Marieke
The Flanders sun burns the sky
Since you are gone
Ay, Marieke, Marieke
In Flanders field the poppies die
Since you are gone
Zonder liefde, warme liefde
Waait de wind, de stomme wind
Zonder leifde, warme liefde
Weent de zee, de grijze zee
Zonder liefde, warme leifde
Lijdt het licht, het donk're licht
En schuurt het zand over mijn land
Mijn platte land, mijn Vlanderland

Ay, Marieke, Marieke
The stars look down, so soon, so soon
The day is done
Ay, Marieke, Marieke
The Flanders moon won't light your way
The day is done
Zonder liefde, warme liefde
Waait de wind, c'est fini
Zonder liefde, warme liefde
Weent de zee, d�j� fini
Zonder liefde, warme liefde
Lidjt het licht tout est fini
En schuurt het zand over mijn land
Mijn platte land, mijn Vlanderland

Ay, Marieke, Marieke
The bells have rung, the echoes sound
The day is gone
Ay, Marieke, Marieke
In Flanders field the echoes sound
The day is gone
Zonder liefde, warme liefde
Lacht duivel, de zwarte duivel
Zonder liefde, warme liefde
Brandt mijn hart, mijn oude hart
Zonder lifde, warme liefde
Sterft de zomer, de droeve zomer
En schuurt het zand over mijn land
Mijn platte land, mijn Vlanderland

Ay, Marieke, Marieke
Come back again, come back again
The day is gone
Ay, Marieke, Marieke
Your love alone, your love alone
The day is gone
Ay, Marieke, Marieke
Come back again, come back again
The day is gone
Ay, Marieke, Marieke
Your love alone, your love alone
The day is gone, the day is gone, the day is gone

(PSSSSST. If you aren't, you should become so.)

Man. I put in Grey's when I got home tonight, and this song was in the episode. It's one I'm familiar with, but it really hit home under the circumstances.

Wreck of the Day
Anna Nalick

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And the light's always red in the rear-view
Desperately close to a coffin of hope
I'd cheat destiny just to be near you
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, On love

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And I'm thinking 'bout calling on Jesus
'Cause love doesn't hurt so I know I'm not falling in love
I'm just falling to pieces

And if this is giving up then I'm giving up
If this is giving up then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, On love

And maybe I'm not up for being a victim of love
When all my resistance will never be distance enough

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And it's finally quiet in my head
Driving alone, finally on my way home to the comfort of my bed
And if this is giving up, then I'm giving up
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, On love

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

WAKKO'S AMERICA
by Wakko Warner

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Indianapolis, Indiana,
and Columbus is the capital of Ohio
there's Montgomery, Alabama, south of Helena, Montana
then there's Denver, Colorado, under Boise, Idaho.
Texas has Austin, then we go north,
to Massachusetts, Boston, and Albany, New York
Tallahassee, Florida, and Washington, D.C.,
Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Nashville, Tennessee.
Elvis used to hang out there a lot, ya' know?
Trenton's in New Jersey north of Jefferson, Missouri
you've got Richmond in Virginia, South Dakota has Pierre
Harrisburg's in Pennsylvania and Augusta's up in Maine,
and here is Providence, Rhode Island, next to Dover, Delaware.
Concord, New Hampshire, just a quick jaunt,
to Montpelier, which is up in Vermont
Hartford's in Connecticut, so pretty in the fall,
and Kansas has Topeka, Minnesota has St. Paul.
Juneau's in Alaska and there's Lincoln in Nebraska,
and it's Raleigh out in North Carolina, and then
there's Madison, Wisconsin, and Olympia in Washington,
Phoenix, Arizona, and Lansing, Michigan.
Here's Honolulu, Hawaii's a joy,
Jackson, Mississippi, and Springfield, Illinois
South Carolina with Columbia down the way,
and Annapolis in Maryland on Chesapeake Bay.
They have wonderful clam chowder.
Cheyenne is in Wyomin' and perhaps you make your home in,
Salt Lake City out in Utah, where the buffalo roam
Atlanta's down in Georgia, and there's Bismarck, North Dakota
and you can live in Frankfort in your old Kentucky home.
Salem in Oregon, from there we join,
Little Rock in Arkansas, Iowa's got Des Moines
Sacramento, California, Oklahoma, and its city,
Charleston, West Virginia and Nevada, Carson City.
That's all the capitals there are.

   You say I only hear what I want to
   And you say I talk so all the time-so

   And I thought what I felt was simple
   And I thought that I don't belong
   And now that I am leaving
   Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
   Yeah, I missed you

   And you say I only hear what I want to
   I don't listen hard
   I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running or to
   Anyone, anywhere
   I don't understand if you really care
   I'm only hearing negative, no no no - bad

   So I turned the radio on I turned the radio up
   And this woman was singing my song
   The lover's in love and the other's run away
   The lover is crying cause the other won't stay
   And some of us hover when we weep for the other who
   was dying
   Since the day they were born well
   Well this is not that
   I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown

   And I thought I'd live forever but now I'm not so sure
   You try to tell me that I'm clever but that won't take me anyhow
   Or anywhere with you

   And you said that I was naive
   And I thought that I was strong
   I thought "hey I can leave, I can leave"
   But now I know that I was wrong cause I missed you
   Yeah I missed you

   You said "you caught me cause you want me
   And one day I'll let you go"
   You try to give away a keeper or keep me cause you're know
   you're
   just too scared to lose

   And you say, "stay"

   You say I only hear what I want to.

This is a girl who has had her heart broken
Cried for continuous hours
Yelled and screamed for help
A girl who turned her back on the world
and a girl who did nothing but love someone.

randomly found this song. and the sound of it nearly made Kaylee and i cry. so i found the lyrics. and then i did cry.

Franklin

Paramore

hen we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

For a certain J-person (and not the one you freaks are thinking) on a certain V-Day. The sweetest song I know.

Wishful Thinking
The Ditty Bops

Why does blood turn brown when it dries?
Why do the tears well up in your eyes?
Why didn't I learn to ride my bike
When it was warm and sunny outside?

Why can't little kids tie their shoes?
Why can't the white people play the blues?
Why can't I fall in love with you?
It must be because of the seasons.

When the leaves start falling from the trees,
When the birds start flirting with the bees,
When the wind starts blowing from the East to the West;
Maybe you'll be the one that I like best.

Clouds start forming I can't complain,
'Cause I think we might be in need of some rain.
When it starts pouring
Don't hide away without me.

I bought an umbrella big enough for two,
But it feels pretty empty under here without you.
Dry as a bone but I'm still alone
I'm so grey..

When you're standing in a puddle with wet feet;
And your head is sore from pounding drops of sleet.
When the cold and lonely hours put your heart to the test..
Maybe I'll be the one that you like best.

If the sky can open its eyes
And cry from up above..
Let's shed some tears of joy
And fall in love

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Wildcard's Double Feature, Part II:

The Time Warp
It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control

I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let's do the Time Warp again!

the world spins madly on

the weepies

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you'd gone
And the world spins madly on.

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

This song moved my to tears tonight. Absolutely heartwrenching, and Jane performed it breathtakingly...

Alfie
Word by Burt Bacharach, but sung by Jane Monheit

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
Whats it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess its wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe theres a heaven above, Alfie,
I know theres something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

it just figures that this song would come up on my ipod tonight.

Since You've Asked

sung by Jane Monheit

What I�ll give you
Since you�ve asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow�s time
Peace of mind

As your life spills into mine
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time
Change time to flowers
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to someone before.

We have seen a million stars
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taking off the days
One by one
Setting them to breath
In the sun.

Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give
This is what I ask you for
Nothing more.

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Grace Kelly
Mika

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why dont you like me

Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

This one is for all of you.

If you don't get it, I love you. If you DO get it, I love you, and, my God, you of all people understand me.

Limelight
Words by Neil Peart

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem

Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in a fisheye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I cant pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the worlds indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each anothers audience
Outside the gilded cage

For A.

Ten Days
Missy Higgins

So we've put an end to it this time.
I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine.
You said this hill looks far too steep
If I'm not even sure it's me you wanna keep.
And it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.

But time has changed nothing at all -
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes and
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.

You won't talk me into it next time,
If I'm going away your hearts coming too.
'Cos I miss your hands I miss your face.
When I get back let's disappear without a trace.

'Cos it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.

But time has changed nothing at all -
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes,
Tried letting go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.

So tell me, did you really think...
Oh tell me, did you really think
I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore?
When you couldn't...

'Cos baby time has changed nothing at all -
You're still the only one that feels like home.
And I've tried cutting the ropes,
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home, yeah,
You're still the only one that feels like home,
You're still the only one I've gotta love.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

The Fear You Won't Fall
Joshua Radin

Digging a hole and the walls are caving in
Behind me
Air's getting thin but I'm trying
I'm breathing in
Come find me

It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you

And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you
Is the fear you won't fall

It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you

And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

And I hate the phone
But I wish you'd call
Thought being alone
Was better than was better than

And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
Can't get my mind off of you

And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Because I hear it a lot and it gets stuck in my head, and it's really lovely in an obvious kind of way.

Ever the Same
Rob Thomas

We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same

We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Hey, look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

And because Elle didn't believe me when I told her the words were cooler than the song is (even if I like Fallout Boy):

This Ain't A Scene (It's An Arms Race)
Fallout Boy

I am an arms dealer.
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And I don't really care, which side wins
As long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I'm in

This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

I wrote the gospel of giving up
(You look pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk
(prima donnas of the gutter)
At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hearts or cars
No, more like p-p-p-parties

This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race

Bandwagon's full. Please, catch another

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

All the boys on the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
Sing until your lungs give out

This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
(Now you)
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
(Wear out the groove)
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
(Sing out loud)
This ain't a scene, it�s a god damn arms race
(Oh, oh)
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

Join the Circus
Barnum
When the pill the doctor gave you turns your cold to the grippe.
When a stitch to save nine others comes apart with a rip.
When the rats invade your attic and start leaving you ship.
Follow my tip, come away on a trip.

Just join the circus like you wanted to, when you were a kid.
Climb aboard before it moves on and you�ll thank your lucky stars you did.
Go to bed in Minneapolis, wake up in PA.
Pack your roll, your brush and your comb again,
Ready to roll again, ready to stray.
Bless your soul; you�ll never go home again,
When the circus comes your way.

When you�ve patches in your trousers and hole in you purse.
When your nine to five it boarding and your five to nine�s worse.
When you sneeze instead of bless you, you get jeers and a curse.
Don�t call a hearse, while you still got a cherce.

Just join the circus like you meant to do, when you were so high.
Pitch your troubles under a tent and you�re bound to loose �em by and by.
Say so long to fair Schenectady greet sweet Santa Fe.
Toss your hat and cane in a sack again,
Shoulder your pack and then hitch up the shay.
Kiss the cat and never look back again,
When the circus comes your way.

When the lady you�ve been courtin� weds your brother instead.
When he sooner gives you thirty days on water and bread.
When your bank accounts a million, but its all in the red.
Don�t loose your head, pin this note to the bed.

Ive joined the circus like I wanted to, when I was a kid.
Climbed aboard before it moved on and you bet your life im glad I did.
Went to bed in Minneapolis, woke up in PA.
Packed my roll, my brush and my comb again,
Ready to roll again, ready to stray.
Bless my soul; I�ll never go home again,
When the circus comes your way.

See that tent pole slowly start to rise,
Circus � circus.
Just to say the word electrifies,
Circus � circus.
Watch that tiger shaking hands like a pup there,
That lady dancin� on a wire a million mile up there.
That string of painted cars down Railroad Avenue,
Circus � circus.
Two pink paste boards say you�re going to,
Circus � circus.
Share the glad time and the woe with us,
Pack you�re trunk and join the show with us.
Roll from Maine to Kokomo with us,
Mister Barnum say you�ll go with us.

I�ve joined the circus like I wanted to, when I was a kid.
Climbed aboard before it moved on and you bet your life im glad I did.
Went to bed in Minneapolis, woke up in PA.
Packed my roll, my brush and my comb again,
Ready to roll again, show me the way
Bless my soul; I�ll never go home again,
From the day you join the circus!

Be proud to join the circus!
Step right this way and join the circus!
Just stick a banner in your hand � and,
Join the circus like you wanted to,
Like you always wanted to run � a � way!

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

This song just seems to fit today, for some reason.

Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
(Jimmy Buffett/Matt Betton)

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man
Floating down Canal
It doesn�t use numbers or moving hands
It always just says "now"
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And if I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe in, breathe out, move on.

And it rained
It was nothing really new
And it blew
We�ve seen all that before
And it poured
The earth began to strain
Ponchartrain
Leaking through the door
Tides at war

If a hurricane doesn�t leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don�t try to explain just nod your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on.

And it rained
It was nothing really new
And it blew
We�ve seen all that before
And it poured
The earth began to strain
Ponchartrain
Buried the Ninth Ward
To the second floor

According to my watch the time is "now"
The past is dead and gone
Don�t try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on
Don�t try to explain it just bow your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Fear
by Sarah McLachlan

Morning smiles
Like the face of a newborn child
Innocent unknowing
Winter�s end
Promises of a long lost friend
Speaks to me of comfort

But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
Here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There�s nothing I�d like
Better than to fall
But I fear I have nothing to give

Wind in time
Rapes the flower trembling on the vine
Nothing yields to shelter it
From above
They say temptation will destroy our love
The never ending hunger

But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
Here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There�s nothing I�d like
Better than to fall
But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
I have nothing to give
We have so much to lose...

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

This song took my breath away when I heard it. Knocked it straight out of me.

Don't Forget Me
Way Out West

There's just one thing that I need to say
Before I close my eyes and walk away
There's just one thing that I need to feel
Before I walk away against my will

There's just one thing that I need to hear
Before I walk away for the last time
There's just one thing that I need to see
Before I take this chance and set us free

Don't forget me
Don't regret me
Don't suspect me
Don't neglect me

The memory of this still reminds me of you
The memory of this still reminds
The memory of this still reminds me of you
And that is where you'll find me

Stars in your eyes
Did you take the time to realize

Can you count the stars in your eyes?
Did you take the time to realize?

There's just one thing that I need to say
Before I close my eyeas and walk away
There's just one thing that I need to feel
Before I walk away against my will

Don't forget me
Don't regret me
The memory of this still reminds me of you
Don't suspect me
The memory of this still reminds me
Don't neglect me
The memory of this still reminds me of you

The memory of this still reminds me
Stars in your eyes
Did you take the time to realize?

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I've posted it before, but this song is my anthem right now and it's getting me through this week.

The Remedy by Jason Mraz

I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
Now something on the surface it stings
I said something on the surface
Well it kind of makes me nervous
Who says that you deserve this
And what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
If you've got the poison I've got the remedy

The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.

I won't worry my life away.

I heard two men talking on the radio
In a cross fire kind of reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
They were counting down the ways to stab
The brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh
Death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophy
Dance with me, because if you've got the poison,
I've got the remedy

The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.

I won't worry my life away.

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why

Because

The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.

I won't worry my life away.

I won't and I won't and I won't

I dont wanna talk about it
By Rod Stewart . . . or the better version by the Indigo Girls

I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'bly been cryin' forever,
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart;
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart.

If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart.

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

Now and Forever
Richard Marx

Whenever Im weary
From the battles that raged in my head
You made sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way, but still you
Seem to understand
Now & forever,
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
Im holding a fortune
That heaven has given to me
Ill try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now & forever,
I will be your man

Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I wont be alone, anymore
If Id only known you were there
All the time,
All this time. . .

Until the day the ocean
Doesnt touch the sand
Now & forever
I will be your man

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

Washing of the Water

Peter Gabriel

so deep, so wide
will you take me on your back for a ride?
if i should fall, would you swallow me deep inside?
river, show me how to float
i feel like i'm sinking down
thought that i could get along
but here in this water, my feet won't touch the ground
i need something to turn myself around

going away- away to other seas
river deep, can you lift up and carry me?
roll on, roll on through the heartland
'til the sun has left the sky
river, river, carry me high
'til the washing of the water will make it all alright
let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight

letting go is hard, the way it's hurting now to get this love untied
so tough to stay with this thing, 'cause if i follow through...
i'll face what i denied
i'll pull these hooks out of me
and i'll take out the hooks that i sunk deep in your side
kill this pain with emptiness and lonliness i hide

river, oh river, river running deep
bring me something that will let me get to sleep
in the washing of the water, will you take it all away?
bring me something to take this pain away.

Three Days

Jane's Addiction

Three days was the morning.
My focus three days old.
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows...

I am proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...

Three ways was the morning.
Three lovers, in three ways.
We knew when she landed,
Three days she'd stay.

I am a proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...

We saw shadows of the morning light
the shadows of the evening sun
till the shadows and the light were one.

Shadows of the morning light
the shadows of the evening sun
till the shadows and the light were one...

True hunting is over.
No herds to follow.
Without game, men prey on each other.
The family weakens by the bite we swallow...

True leaders gone,
Of land and people.
We choose no kin but adopted strangers.
The family weakens by the length we travel...

All of us with wings...
All of us with wings...
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!

Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys.
Loves his Marys.
Bits of puzzle,
Fitting each other.

All now with wings!

Oh my Marys!
Never wonder...
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver...

All now with wings...

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

Square One

Tom Petty

Had to find some higher ground
Had some fear to get around
You can't say what you don't know
Later on won�t work no more
Last time though I hid my tracks
So well I could not get back
Yeah my way was hard to find
Can't sell your soul for peace of mind

Square one, my slate is clear
Rest your head on me my dear
It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears
It took a long time to get back here

Try so hard to stand alone
Struggle to see past my nose
Always had more dogs than bones
I could never wear those clothes
It's a dark victory
You won and you are so lost
Told her you were satisfied
But it never came across

Square one, my slate is clear
Rest your head on me my dear
It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears
It took a long time to get back here

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Silver Moon
Michael Nesmith

See the lazy windmills slowly turning
Cutting up the marble canyons of the sky
See the dust around my feet go churning
Moving with the winds down the highways
Of goodbyes

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
With the unexpected destination of my home

Half the thoughts I'm thinking speak in sighs
As that same old wave of lonliness returns
And I can see you when I close my eyes
Speaking very softly as you turned

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
With the unexpected destination of my home

Now I must go
Go and let go

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon
With the unexpected destination of my home

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

I want to jump up and down and sing this at the top of my lungs right now.

"I'm Free" by The Rolling Stones

I'm free to do what I want any old time
I'm free to do what I want any old time
So love me, hold me, love me, hold me
I'm free any old time to get what I want

I'm free to sing my song though it gets out of time
I'm free to sing my song though it gets out of time
So love me, hold me, love me, hold me
And I'm free any old time to get what I want

Love me, hold me, love me, hold me
But I'm free any old time to get what I want

I'm free to choose what I please any old time
I'm free to choose what I please any old time
So hold me, love me, love me, hold me
I'm free any old time to get what I want, yes I am �

Girl Anachronism
Dresden Dolls

you can tell
from the scars on my arms
and cracks in my hips
and the dents in my car
and the blisters on my lips
that i'm not the carefullest of girls

you can tell
from the glass on the floor
and the strings that're breaking
and i keep on breaking more
and it looks like i am shaking
but it's just the temperature
and then again
if it were any colder i could disengage
if i were any older i could act my age
but i dont think that youd believe me
it's
not
the
way
i'm
meant
to
be
it's just the way the operation made me

and you can tell
from the state of my room
that they let me out too soon
and the pills that i ate
came a couple years too late
and ive got some issues to work through
there i go again
pretending to be you
make-believing
that i have a soul beneath the surface
trying to convince you
it was accidentally on purpose

i am not so serious
this passion is a plagiarism
i might join your century
but only on a rare occasion
i was taken out
before the labor pains set in and now
behold the world's worst accident
i am the girl anachronism

and you can tell
by the red in my eyes
and the bruises on my thighs
and the knots in my hair
and the bathtub full of flies
that i'm not right now at all
there i go again
pretending that i'll fall
don't call the doctors
cause they've seen it all before
they'll say just
let
her
crash
and
burn
she'll learn
the attention just encourages her

and you can tell
from the full-body cast
that you're sorry that you asked
though you did everything you could
(like any decent person would)
but i might be catching so don't touch
you'll start believeing youre immune to gravity and stuff
don't get me wet
because the bandages will all come off

and you can tell
from the smoke at the stake
that the current state is critical
well it is the little things, for instance:
in the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses:
please excuse her for the day, its just the way the medication makes her...

i dont necessarily believe there is a cure for this
so i might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
i was too precarious removed as a caesarian
behold the worlds worst accident
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

displaced

- azure ray

It's just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If i can just hold on tonight
I know that nothing
Nothing survives
Nothing survives
I think i'm turned around
I'm looking up
Not looking down
And when i'm standing still
Watching you run
Watching you fall
Fall into me

Am i making something worthwhile out of this place
Am i making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced

And she's my friend of all friends
She's still here when everyone's gone
She doesn't have to say a thing
We'll just keep laughing all night long
All night long

Am i making something worthwhile out of this place
Am i making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced

It's just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If i can just hold on tonight
I know that no one
No one survives
No one survives.

Title: Better Than Me

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I wouldn't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend that I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)

Just have to post this because it has been causing much hilarity at work ever since our most rabid country music hater (NOT me) heard it on the radio this morning:

Ticks
Brad Paisley

Every time you take a sip
In this smoky atmosphere
You press that bottle to your lips
And I wish I was your beer
In the small there of your back
Your jeans are playing peekaboo
I'd like to see the other half of your butterfly tattoo.

Hey that gives me an idea
Let's get out of this bar
Drive out into the country
And find a place to park.

'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks.

I know the perfect little path
Out in these woods I used to hunt
Don't worry babe I've got your back
And I've also got your front
Now, I'd hate to waste a night like this
I'll keep you safe you wait and see
The only thing allowed to crawl all over you when we get there is me.

You know every guy in here tonight
Would like to take you home
But I've got way more class than them
Babe that ain't what I want.

'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks.

You never know where one might be
There's lots of place that are hard to reach
I gotcha.

I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you baby way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks.

I'd sure like to check you for ticks...

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

I really love this song, even if some of the lyrics are kind of... er. Rough. And it feels like my heart shouldn't feel right now.

Come Pick Me Up
Ryan Adams

When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Or will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter

I wish you would
I wish you would

Come pick me up
Take me out
F*** me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They�re all full of s***
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

When you�re walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear and the mannequins' eyes
Do they all look like mine

You know you could
I wish you would

Come pick me up
Take me out
F*** me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again

I wish you would

I wish you�d make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you�ll rest sometime
I wish I could

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Two groups i love doing a song together.

Artist: Run-d.m.c.
Album: Raising Hell
Title: Walk This Way

[run-d.m.c.]
Now there's a backseat/lover
That's always under/cover
And i talk til my daddy say
Said you ain't seen/nuthin
Til you're down on her/muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheer/leader
That's a real big/pleaser
As far as i can remi/nisce
But the best thing/love it
Was her sister and her/cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this

She starts/swingin
With the boys in/tune
And her feet just fly up in the air
Singin hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
And they swingin like it just don't care
So i took a big/chance
At the high school/dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was/foolin
Cause she knew what was she was/doin
When she told me how to walk this way

Chorus: run-d.m.c. and aerosmith

She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
(repeat 2x)
(repeat all 2x)
Well just gimme a kiss/some head!
Oooh, a-like this!

[run-d.m.c.]
School girl/sleazy
With a/classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin way up her knee
It was three young ladies
In the school gym/locker
And they find they were lookin d
I was high school/loser
Never made it with a/lady
Til a boy told me somethin i missed
That my next door/neighbor
Had a daughter/had a favor
And i gave the girl just a little kiss, like this

[aerosmith]
She starts swingin with the boys in the school
With her feet flyin up in the air
Singing hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
I was swingin like i didn't care
So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a miss who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin cause she knew what she was doin
When she told me how to walk this way

Chorus

some of you seem to need this...

"One More Minute"
Weird Al Yankovic

Aahh....

Well I heard that youre leavin (leavin)
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that Im not your kind (aahh..)

So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my rolodex (oohh..)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)

Thats right (thats right) you aint gonna see me cryin
Im glad (Im glad) that you found somebody new
cause Id rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
cause Im stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps

Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You aint (you aint) gonna break my heart in two
cause Id rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

Id rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
Id rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)
Again and again and again and again and again

Oh, cant you see what Im tryin to say, darlin...

Id rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
Id rather clean all the bathroom in grand central station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you

Yes, Id rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
Id rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you

Id rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands
And then throw it on the floor and stomp on it till I die
Than spend one more minute with you

I have no idea why this is stuck in my head....

The Way You Look Tonight
Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields

Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh..wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely ... Never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Next

Artist: Blue October �
Album: Foiled
Title: Hate Me [size]

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don�t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I�m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me so you can finally see what�s good for you

I�m sober now for 3 whole months it�s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won�t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I�ll drive so crappity smacking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn�t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what�s good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes crying and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling �make it go away!�
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered �How can you do this to me?�

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn�t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what�s good for you

Last

[size=16]Artist: Dido
Album: Highbury Fields EP
Title: Worthless

I know what you came for
and I know when you'll leave
You came for my heart
and it's lost to me
For I won't stop you, I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
I know why you're leaving
and I'll just let it be
I am left with nothing and now you're lost to me
For I can't stop you, I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

I know why you're waiting
Give me time to breathe
Before you take my heart now, and just get up and leave
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a clown of me
Yes it does, Yes it does, Yes it does- Yes it does

You know it's worthless, as worthless can be

For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a clown of me
Yes it does, Yes it does, Yes it does- Yes it does

You know it's worthless, as worthless can be

This Is My Time
Raven

At times I felt like I had lost myself,
'Cause people try to make you someone else,
I had to learn to trust my heart so things can change

I came to a point where I could speak my mind
And not feel I'm living in a box and keep the girl I am concealed
I finally found the strength so I can leave it all behind

This is my time to shine
This is my place to find all that I have inside I never knew
This is my time to show
What I must have always known that nothings impossible
And dreams come true

Everybody's got the strength inside all it takes is time to realize
That you and only you can be the one to decide

I can, I will, I know that everything I want I can do,
Believing in myself that every wish I make will come true
I took a while to get this far, but I'm here now

This is my time to shine
This is my place to find all that I have inside I never knew
This is my time to show
What I must have always known that nothings impossible
And dreams come true

Overcoming all these things �
Here I finally found my wings
Now I know I'm ready to fly!

This is my time to shine
This is my place to find all that I have inside I never knew
This is my time to show
What I must have always known
That nothings impossible and dreams come true

This is my time to shine
This is my place to find all that I have inside I never knew
This is my time to show
What I must have always known
That nothings impossible and dreams come true

Charity is kind...Doth not behave itself unseemly...is not easily provoked...and is not sleep deprived.

*giggle* this song is nearly the most fun i've had in weeks. ps- don't try to read too much into it.

Merry Happy

Kate Nash

Watching me like you never watched no one
Don't tell me that you didn't try to check out my bum
'Cause I know that you did 'cause your friend told me that you liked it
Gave me those pearls and I thought they were ugly
Don't you try to tell me that you never loved me
I know that you did 'cause you said it and you wrote it down

Dancing at discos, eating cheese on toast
Yeah, you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

Dancing at discos, eating cheese on toast
Yeah, you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around
So I learned from you

I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own

Sitting in restaraunts, thought we were so grown up
But I know now that we were not the people
That we turned out to be
Chatting on the phone, can't take back those hours
But I won't regret 'cause you can grow flowers
From where dirt used to be

Dancing at discos, eating cheese on toast
Yeah, you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

Dancing at discos, eating cheese on toast
Yeah, you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

I can be alone

Hot summer night, storm clouds in the air
My eyes a little heavy, I'm feeling in the past tense
I'm hardly aware
I don't want you on the phone
Don't ya play good girl with me
Why must I always say it again

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now and she's a lot like you

Tried to wash my face, but my head felt too low
I tried to bury myself, but my mind wouldn't stay at home
I don't care if you're sitting at home
Somebody's broken into me
Why must I always say it again

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now and she's a lot like you

(Guitar solo)

I don't want you on the phone
Don't you play good girl with me
Why must I always say it again

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now and she's a lot like you

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now and she's a lot like you
Lot like you, just like you

In The Midnight Hour
Wilson Pickett

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
Yes I am
Ooh yes I am
One more thing I just want to say right here

I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl I know
That can really love me so
In the midnight hour
Oh yeah ..In the midnight hour
Yeah, alright, play it for me one time

***horn solo***

I'm gonna wait till midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait, way in the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
Just you and I
Ooh Baby
Just you and I
Nobody around baby, Just, you and I
I'm gonna hold you, In my arms.

I can't stop listening to this song. It's so infectious and spooky and awesome.

Airport Song
Guster

Glad you made it
Welcome to the farm
Who�s your daddy?
I�m your daddy now
I�m here seeking only what i need
In your mind is where I'll plant my seed
It�s for sure

Let me keep you in this place
You�ll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe
You�ll be better off this way
You learn to love the price you pay
Trust me dear you�re better off this way

Put to bed the son and sister moon
I'll be hiding in your dirty room
I'll go there seeking only what I need
La ti da we�ll stay there till we bleed
It�s for sure

Let me keep you in this place
You�ll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe
You�ll be better off this way

I will not wake you from your sleep
Leave you wandering counting sheep
No more sad and sunshine days
Trust me dear you�re better off this way

You�ll be selling books at the airport

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

This ones growing on me.

Artist - Last Five Years soundtrack
Album - Last Five Years
Lyrics - I Can Do Better Than That

CATHERINE

My best friend had a little situation

At the end of our senior year

And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer

Carolann getting bigger every minute

Thinking, 'What am I doing here?'

While Mitchell's out every night

Being a heavy-metal drummer

They got a little cute house on a little cute street

With a crucifix on the door

Mitchell got a job at a record store in the mall

Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore

I thought about what I wanted

It wasn't like that at all

Made Carolann a cute baby sweater

Thinking 'I can do better than that'

In a year or so, I moved to the city

Thinking 'What have I got to lose?'

Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner

Met a guy in a class I was taking who you might say

Looked like Tom Cruise

He wouldn't leave me alone unless I went with him to dinner

And I guess he was cute

And I guess he was sweet

And I guess he was good in bed

I gave up my life for the better part of a year

And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might work

And the second it entered my head

He needed to take some time off

Focus on his 'career'

He blew me off with a heartfelt letter

I thought 'I can do better than that'

You don't have to get a haircut

You don't have to change your shoes

You don't have to like Duran Duran

Just love me

You don't have to put the seat down

You don't have to watch the news

You dont' have to learn to tango

You don't have to eat prosciutto

You don't have to change a thing

Just stay with me

I want you and you and nothing but you

Miles and piles of you

Finally I'll have something worthwhile

To think of each morning

You and you and nothing but you

No substitution will do

Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure

Top of the line and totally mine!

I don't need any lifetime commitments

I don't need to get hitched tonight

I don't want you to throw up all your walls and defenses

I don't mean to put on any pressure

But I know what a thing is right

And I spend every day reconfiguring my senses

When we get to my house, take a look at that town

Take a look at how far I've gone

I will never go back

Never look back anymore

And it feels like my life led right to your side

And will keep me there from now on

Think about what you wanted

Think about what could be

Think about how I love you

Say you'll move in with me

Think of what's great about me and you

Think of the bullshit we've both been through

Think of what's past because we can do better!

We can do better!

We can do better than that!

We can do better than that!

Being Alive

Stephen Sondheim

Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
And ruin your sleep
And make you aware of being alive

Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell
And give you support for being alive - being alive
Make me alive, make me confused
Mock me with praise, let me be used
Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive.

Somebody hold me too close
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you of being alive
Being alive, being alive

Someone you have to let in
Someone whose feelings you spare
Someone who, like it or not
Will want you to share a little, a lot of being alive
Make me alive, make me confused
Mock me with praise, let me be used
Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive

Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you to help us survive
Being alive, being alive,
Being alive, being alive

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

A Praise Chorus
Jimmy Eat World

Are you going to live your life wondering
standing in the back, looking around?
are you gonna waste your time thinking
how you've grown up
or how you missed out?
things are never going be the way you want
where's it gonna to get you acting serious?
things are never gonna be quite what you want
even at twenty five you got to start sometime

i'm on my feet
i'm on the floor
i'm good to go
all i need is just to hear a song i know
i wanna always feel like part of this was mine
i wanna fall in love tonight

are you gonna live your life standing in the back lookingaround?
are you going to waste your time?
got to make a move or you'll miss out
someone's gonna ask you what it's all about
stick around nostalgia won't let you down
someone's gonna ask you what it's all about
what are you going to have to say for yourself?

i'm on my feet
i'm on the floor
i'm good to go
all i need is just to hear a song i know
i wanna always feel like part of this was mine
i wanna fall in love tonight

crimson and clover
over and over
crimson and clover
over and over

our house, in the middle of the street
why did we ever meet

start in by rockin my fantasy
don't don't don't let start
why did we ever part
kickstart my rock n roll heart

i'm on my feet
i'm on the floor
i'm good to go
so come on davey, sing me something that i know
i want to always feel like part of this was mine
i want to fall in love tonight
here, tonight
i want to fall in love tonight
here, tonight
i want to always feel like part of this was mine
i want to fall in love tonight
i want to fall in love tonight

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last, till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face...

This song made me cry yesterday. I came home late and sat in my driveway and cried to it, and then I came inside and washed my face.

Inside My Head
Ellery

It�s just a fear, unnamed
We shouldn�t have to do this to ourselves
we shouldn�t have to do it this way

You weren�t the first, allowed
To blow in like a wind over my soul
To roll in like a thundercloud

It�s all the same, who knows
I came in with a heavy, hollow hand
I came out with a brittle hope

And with my walls defined
More surely I could shake away my pain
More confidently draw the lines

So you will never get inside my,
See inside my head
You will never get inside my,
See inside my head

You took my hand, we sat down
You told me this was different than before
You told me you would stick around

But good intentions lie
Beneath the sacrifice they take,
Behind the guarded look in your eyes

So you will never get inside my,
See inside my head
You will never get inside my,
See inside my head

I came prepared to fight
We shouldn�t have to do this to ourselves
I�m choking on what�s left of my pride

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Song: I'm All Alone Lyrics
King Arthur:
I'm all alone
all by myself
there is no one here beside me
im all alone
quite, all alone
no one to comfort me or guide me
why is there no one here with me
on the long and winding road
to lift my heavy load
if there were someone here with me
how happy i would be
but im alone
quite all alone
all by myself im all alone

I'm all alone
(Patsy: he's all alone)
All by myself
(Patsy: except for me)
I cannot face tomorrow
(Patsy: he cannot face it)
I'm all alone
(Patsy: Though i am here)
So all alone
(Patsy: so very near)
No one to share my sorrow

Patsy:
You know it seems quite clear to me
because im working class
i am just the horses ass
he sells me down the river
so what am i, chopped liver?

Arthur:
But i'm alone
(Patsy: oh no you're not!)
So all alone
(Patsy: I'm here you thingy!)
All by myself im all alone

Knitghts: he's all alone
Arthur: i'm all alone
Knights: all by himself
Arthur: all by myself
Knights: there is no one here beside him, He's all alone
Arthur: so all alone
Knights: apart from us,
No one to comfort him or guide him

Arthur: each one of us is all alone
so what are we to do
in order to get through
we must be lonely side by side
it's a perfect way to hide

Knights: we're all alone
Arthur: we're all alone
Knights: yes all alone
Arthur: so all alone,
each by ourselves
we're all alone.

How
Lisa Loeb

i didn't come this far for you to make this hard for me.
and now you want to ask me "how?"
it's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?

why did you come here?
you weren't invited.
and you're on the outside - stay on the outside.
and now you want to ask me "why?"
it's like - why does your heart beat, and how do you cry?
how does your heart beat?

and there are some things that i'd like to figure out.
there are some things that i can do without -
like you and your letters that go on forever,
and you, and the people that were never friends.

with all the things that you could be,
you never could learn how to be me.
and now you want to ask me "how?"
it's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
how does you heart beat, and why do you breathe?

What are we gonna do now?

Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew? 'Cause they're (Working for The Clampdown)
They put up a poster saying, "We earn more than you!" When we're (Working for The Clampdown)

We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers

The judge said five-to-ten, but I say double that again, I'm not (Working for The Clampdown)
No man born with a living soul, can be (Working for The Clampdown)

Kick over the wall
Cause governments to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour
Anger can be power!
D'you know that you can use it?

The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal

You grow up and you calm down, and you're (Working for The Clampdown)
You start wearing blue and brown, you're (Working for The Clampdown)

So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
You made your first kill now

In these days of evil Presidentes (Working for The Clampdown)
But lately one or two has fully paid their due, for (Working for The Clampdown)

But ha! Gitalong! Gitalong! (Working for The Clampdown)
Beggin' to be melted down! (Working for The Clampdown)

Response to the R/E/P topic: [url="http://www.playersanonymous.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1177109765"]"Why Get Riled Up?"[/url]

Uncle Jack Sez "Relax"
Charles Webb & Tom Bolton

Well, people, got my mojo workin'
Thought you might like to know....

Pal, how are ya? It's Uncle Jack
Don't have a spasm or a heart attack
You're too tense, gotta relax
Take my opinion, it's the facts
Listen, pal, you worry too much
Pretty soon you'll be losin' touch
Take time for fun. It ain't a crime
Don't be serious all the time

Uncle Jack says relax
Uncle Jack says relax

Try to be perfect. What's the point?
You're just gettin' your nose outta joint
What's all the hype about workin' out and runnin'?
I prefer layin' out and sunnin'
I know dancing gives you good effects, but,
screw aerobics, save your thighs for sex
Wanna be athletic? Do it like me
Grab a beer, sit down, watch some sports on TV

Uncle Jack says relax
Uncle Jack says relax

Quit throwin' parties ya' can't afford
Invitin' jerks you'd rather ignore
Standin' around, feelin' bored
Just to be big on the social score?
Why need toys like a Cuisinart?
Wanna cook at home? Toast a Pop-Tart
Quit cleanin' so much, turn the lights down low
If they can't see the dust, who's gonna know

Better Homes and Gardens is just a magazine
It's not reality
Clean all you want
It just gets dirty again
Think about it...

Break it down!

Career, career, shoot for the top
Climb the corporate ladder
Where ya gonna stop
Dress for success, 60 hour weeks
The old nerdy book is now called "chic"
Three piece suits, briefcases
Slicked back hair, serious faces
Quit chasing the bucks, don't be a chump
Why you wanna be another Donald Trump?

Uncle Jack says relax
Uncle Jack says relax

What's that? You say you enjoy the rat race?
Yeah, right. Okay, stay on that treadmill, sport
When you keel over, you'll get your picture
on the cover of "Executive Sucker" magazine
All your colleagues will buy a copy
and put it in their briefcases next to their ulcer medicine

The American and Florence / Nobody's Side

[FLORENCE]
You want to lose your only friend?
Well, keep it up, you're doing fine
Why this humiliation?
Why treat me like a fool?
I've taken shit for seven years
And I won't take it anymore

[THE AMERICAN]
I'm only teasing Soviets
With gentle bonhomie
And you've a better reason to be anti-them than me.

[FLORENCE]
There's a time and there's a place.

[THE AMERICAN]
Is this the girl who always said
She wants to know the truth?

[FLORENCE]
There's a time and there's a place...

[CHORUS]
1956 -- Budapest is rising
1956 -- Budapest is fighting
1956 -- Budapest is falling
1956 -- Budapest is dying

[THE AMERICAN]
I'd have thought you'd support
Any attack on these people
On the people who ran
Mindlessly over your childhood
Don't let them fool you for
Thirty years on they're the same

They see chess as a war
Playing with pawns just like Poland
If you walk out on me
They will have won their first battle
Wouldn't your father
Have begged you to stay in the game?

[FLORENCE]
He would -- but he didn't know you
He'd loathe your behaviour and so do I --
Why'd you have to do this to me?

What's going on around me
Is barely making sense
I need some explanations fast
I see my present partner
In the imperfect tense
And I don't see how we can last
I feel I need a change of cast
Maybe I'm on nobody's side

And when he gives me reasons
To justify each move
They're getting harder to believe
I know this can't continue
I've still a lot to prove
There must be more I could achieve
But I don't have the nerve to leave

Everybody's playing the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side

The one I should not think of
Keeps rolling through my mind
And I don't want to let that go
No lovers ever faithful
No contract truly signed
There's nothing certain left to know
And how the cracks begin to show!

Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head
Nobody's on nobody's side

Never take a stranger's advice
Never let a friend fool you twice
Nobody's on nobody's side
Everybody's playing the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side

Never leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay a minute too long
Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side

Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never make a promise or plan...

I sat on the back side of a rock in Yosemite Park this weekend. I was alone; I didn't go on the long hike because I wanted to wander by myself. I listened to this song and cried. The lyrics probably mean something different to me than they would to anyone else right now.

Rain
Patty Griffin

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb

Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
But I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

It's hard to know when to give up the fight
Some things you want will just never be right
It's never rained like it has to night before

Now I won't beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
But I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
But I'm still in love underneath this shroud
Rain

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I really Love this Group

Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Album: Unknown
Title: Mcdonald's Girl

I leave from softball practice every night
It's getting dark, but the "golden arches" light up the way
I turn the corner at the traffic light
I count my money and then i rehearse what i'm going to say

"i'd like an order of fries, a quarter-pounder with cheese,
I love the light in your eyes, will you go out with me please?"

Chorus:
I am in love with a mcdonalds girl
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm
I am in love with a mcdonalds girl
She is an angel in a polyester uniform

She doesn't try to impress anyone
She doesn't act all tough like all the other girls that i know
She don't treat me like a simpleton
She's not ashamed to be the only other virgin i know
When my hamburger's cold, i get up ready to go,
She's only fifteen years old, and i'm in love with her soul

She's got a gold tooth, you know she's hardcore
She'll show you a good time, then she'll show you the door...boy!

Chorus

There she stands behind the register
She's taking orders from the saddle river little league
If they knew how much i wanted her
Their home-room teachers would have to send them home for a week

As i head through the door, the movement catches her eye,
My heart begins to soar, she smiles, she waves good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Chorus

Uno, dos, tres, quatro
Big mac, filet o fish, quarter pounder, french fries
Icey coke, thick shakes, sundaes and apple pies
Sing that song of taste
You can only find at one place: mcdonalds

Chorus

And this One

Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Album: Rock Spectacle
Title: When I Fall

Words by Steven Page & Ed Robertson
Music by Ed Robertson

I look straight in the window, try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees.

Chorus:
I wish I could fly
From this building, from this wall
And if I should try,
would you catch me if I fall?

My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
Can't look below me, or something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings.

I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive.

I wish I could step from this scaffold
onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead

Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece

Chorus

Time
Tori Amos

Well, the smart money's on Harlow
And the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you're east of East St. Louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His invisible fiance is in the mirror
The band is going home
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
Yes, it's true, there's nothing left for him down here

[Chorus:]
And it's Time Time Time
And it's Time Time Time
And it's Time Time Time
That you love
And it's Time Time Time
And they all pretend they're Orphans
And their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember
Tell the things you can't forget that
History puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd stick around
Until the bandages came off
But these mamas boys just don't know when to quit
And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams
Or are those prayers
So just close your eyes, son
And this won't hurt a bit
[Chorus]
Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the streets
And when she's on a roll she pulls a razor
From her boot and a thousand
Pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window
And a kiss upon his lips
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off till I come back again

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
(currently listening to the Tori Amos version)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

"Signal Fire" by Snow Patrol

The perfect words never crossed my mind
'cause there was nothing in there but you
I felt every ounce of me screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me
All I wanted just sped right past me
While I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out

There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety

No I don't want to wait forever
No I don't want to wait forever

In the confusion and the aftermath
You are my signal fire
The only resolution and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes

There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety

There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety

No I don't want to wait forever
No I don't want to wait forever
No I don't want to wait forever

In honor of Big Monkey's birthday:

Who Stole My Monkey
Zachary Richard

I woke up this morning,
And I looked all around.
I was looking for my monkey,
My monkey couldn�t be found.

I called the police department,
Put out an APB.
So if you find my monkey,
Send her on home to me.

Who stole my monkey, my monkey, my monkey?
Somebody stole my monkey, stole my monkey from me.
Who stole my monkey, my monkey, my monkey?
Somebody stole that funky ole monkey from me.

So I moved to California,
Way down in Hollywood.
I got a brand new monkey
And we was doing real good.
Standing on the corner,
Singing a monkey grinding song.
When the next thing I new,
Somebody played me for a fool.
She took my money and was long gone.

Bridge:

My monkey got a cue ball head,
She got a good attitude
And them long skinny legs.
When we get back to the motel room,
The way she shakes her tail
It makes my heart go boom, boom, boom

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Extraordinary
Mandy Moore

I was a bay tree
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody�s darling
Flying in perfect circles
Desperate company

[Chorus]
And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready to be
Extraordinary

A midnight airplane
A window blowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
Still undiscovered
But you must see me in the corner of your eye

[Chorus]
And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready to be
Extraordinary

Waking up to wake up some day
I am my own prey
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
The wind is playing up in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
Sings as if it�s all to say

[Chorus]
And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready to be
Extraordinary

And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready
And now I�m ready to be
Extraordinary

Shame on YOU

The Indigo Girls

My friends they wash the windows
And they shine in the sun
They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime
See what a beautiful job weve done

I say lets put on some tunes
Sing a long and dolittle all day
Go down to the riverside take off our shoes
And wash these sins away

And the river said
La la la it said shame on you
And the river said
La la la it said shame on you

I go down to chicano city park
Cause it makes me feel so fine
And when the weeds go down you can see up close
In the dead of the winter time

But when the summer comes everythings in bloom
And you wouldnt know its there
And the white folks like to pretend its not
But their musics in the air

And you can hear em singing
La la la they said shame on you
You can feel em dancing
La la la they said shame on you

My friend tanner she says you know
Me and jesus were of the same heart
The only thing that keeps us distant
Is that I keep crappity smackin up

I said come on down to chicano city park
And wash your blues away
The beautiful ladies walk right by
You know I never know what to say

And theyll be singing
Oo la la la la la la la la shame on you
And theyll be dancing
Ooo la la la they said shame on you
Shame on you

Lets go road block trippin in the middle of the night
Up in gainesville town
Therell be blue lights flashin down the long dirt road
When they ask me to step out

They say weve been looking for illegal immigrants
Can we check your car
I say you know its funny
I think we were on the same boat back in 1694

And I said
Oo la la la la la la la la shame on you
Theyll be dancing
La la la I said shame on you
I said
Oo la la la la la la la la la la shame on you
Shame on you la la
La la la la la shame on you
I said
I said
La la la shame on you
Ill be dancing
And theyll be singing
La la la I said shame on you
Shame on you

Road block trippin in the middle of the night
Gainesville town
Blue lights flashin down the long dirt road

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

WHERE I STOOD
by missy higgins

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Cabaret
Fred Ebb

What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday.
Life is Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow your horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table's waiting

No use permitting
soem prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend
known as Elsie
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea

She wasn't what you'd call
A blushing flower...
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.

The day she died the neighbors
came to snicker:
"Well, thats what comes
from to much pills and liquor."

But when I saw her laid out like a Queen
She was the happiest...corpse...
I'd ever seen.

I think of Elsie to this very day.
I'd remember how'd she turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret."

And as for me,
I made up my mind back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.

Start by admitting
From cradle to tomb
Isn't that long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabaret, old chum,
And I love a Cabaret!

CRUISIN' (LUCY AND RAMONA)
by Michael Nesmith

Lucy and Ramona cruisin' thru the jungles of L.A.
Hopin' to promote a dream somewhere along the way.
(They're) Rollin' thru the streets looking for a disco,
Passin' up the treats from a kid named Cisco
Trying to make connections
With their blemish-free complexions.
And just as fate would have it,
They ended up with Sunset Sam.

Sam was sellin' watches from a suitcase on a TV tray,
And Lucy and Ramona were tryin' to figure out if he was gay.
The three of them were standing staring at each other,
When the light behind their eyes blew each other's cover.
The ancient code was branded.
And each of them was handed
A ticket to their kingdom
'Cause they saw their brother Sunset Sam.

Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
People on the streets lookin' for the land
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

Lucy was from Compton and she met Ramona at a zoo.
Ramona was from Brooklyn, but she left when she was twenty-two.
Sam was a native of the Arizona desert
But he split when he was slated for some governmental make-work.
Their differences subsided when the common bond was sighted:
They were all from the same place
That made the famous Sunset Sam.

Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
People on the streets lookin' for the land
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

(Yes it is) Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
People on the streets just lookin' for the land
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

I've had this song stuck in my head all week.

Pepper
Butthole Surfers

Marky got with Sharon
And Sharon got Sharice
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar
And Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano
Like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes
Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Another Mikey took a knife
While arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
He caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
Football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Polly caught a bullet
But it only hit his leg
Well it should have been a better shot
And got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Mister Blue Sky
Electric Light Orchestra

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.

Runnin' down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

(Chorus:
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

(Chorus)

Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this way.

(Chorus)

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Ever Present Past
Paul McCartney

I've got too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it isn't too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My Ever Present Past

I've got too much on my mind
I think of everything to be discovered
I hope there's something to find
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My Ever Present Past

[Chorus:]
The things I think I did
I do, I think I did
The things I think I did
When I was a kid

[Bridge:]
I couldn't understand a word that they were saying
But still I hung around and took it all in
I wouldn't join in with the games that they were playing
It went by, it went by, in a flash
It flew by, it flew by, in a flash

[Guitar solo]

There's far too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it's never too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My Ever Present Past

The things I think I did
I do, I think I did
The things I think I did
When I was a kid

The things I think I did
I do, I think I did
The things I think I did
When I was a kid, when I was a kid

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Call Me The Breeze
(J.J. Cale)

Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way its supposed to be

Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia
I don't know

Well I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in Georgia long

Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Oooh Mr Breeze

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Elle told me this song sounds like the things I tell her.

It scared me how much it's true.

The Wrong Girl
Missy Higgins

So the floodgates open but nothing comes out
I'm feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
But my heart keeps telling me 'hold your ground
You'll never learn a thing if you bail out now'

And I'm lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I'm not getting stronger

Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn't find one if you magnified
Because you've got the wrong girl

Had my fingers around the back of your chair
You'd never miss a thing but you missed me there
And I just keeping thinking 'Am I prepared
To pull it out from under your trusting stare?'

Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
And I'm walking round bumping into things you said
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
I'd be cooling down the fire if I thought I could

And I'm lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I'm not getting stronger

Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn't find one if you magnified
Because you've got the wrong girl

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

The Battle of New Orleans

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus:]
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

[Chorus]

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well.
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

Usually NOT a band I would listen to, but this new album is AMAZING. Completely different sound then what you expect from Linkin Park

Linkin Park
"In Between"

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say

But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed
But somehow I got caught up in between

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say

But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between

Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way

And things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say

But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed
But somehow I got caught up in between

Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way

The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none

And I cannot explain to you
And anything I say or do or plan

Fear is not afraid of you
But guilt's a language you can understand

I cannot explain to you
And anything I say or do
I hope the actions speak the words they can

For my pride and my promise
For my lies and how the truth gets in the way

The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse is

Pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way

The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

I want to slow-dance with someone to this song. It's so perfect for that. (And also, I love it, because I just started re-reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being and I identify so much with how he talks about gravity and vertigo. This song does too, in a really similar way.)

Gravity
John Mayer

Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees

Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me
(Now how can that be?)

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Keep you all where the light is
Just keep us where the light is
Oh where the light is

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Keep you all where the light is
Just keep us where the light is
Oh where the light is

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Maybe one of the best, if not the best, love song(s) ever.

I Will Keep the Bad Things From You
The Damnwells

I will keep the bad things from you
I will keep a straight face honey
you can keep your last name if you want to
and I will give you all my money
I could take a plane right to you
if i could just stop running
what if all this was true?

I will keep the bank from calling
I will keep those bastards from you
I will keep your smile from falling
this time the casualties were few
'cause we kept the bastards brawling
we kept our hearts from view
this time we're problem solving

catch it while you can
its the feel good hit of the summer
catch it while you can
'cause there won't be another

you keep the band names coming
I'll make the jokes real funny
we'll keep the skeptics humming
and someone else will take the money
we'll keep the hamsters running
I'll be the sour in your tummy
who'll wipe the nose that's running

catch it while you can
its the feel good hit of the summer
catch it while you can
'cause there won't be another

I will sleep above the covers
I will love you like no other
I will be your dad and mother
I will give you older brothers
I will feed you fries with steak sauce
I will keep the price below the cost
I will lead the way from all is lost
I will keep the bad things from you

catch it while you can
its the feel good hit of the summer
catch it while you can
'cause there won't be another... won't be another...

I'll keep the bad things from you...
I'll keep the bad things from you...
I'll keep the bad things from you...

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

EVERY LITTLE SHE DOES IS MAGIC
by Sting

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolved to call her up
A thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me
In some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, yeah

Every little thing, every little thing
Every little thing, every little thing
Every li'le, every li'le, every li'le
Every little thing she does
Every little thing, every little thing
Every little thing, every little thing
Every li'le, every li'le, every li'le
Every little thing she does

Holy hell, I love this song.

Ramalama (Bang Bang)
Roisin Murphy

Bang, bang !

Could a body close the mind out
Stitch a seam across the eye
If you can be good, you�ll live forever
If you�re bad, you�ll die when you die

Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body
Take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune

Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of

Oh the body swayed to music
Oh the lightning glance
If I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me
Ask for half a chance

Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound

Unzip my heart

And if I need a rhythm
It�ll be to my heart I listen
If it don�t get me too far wrong

And if I
And if I
And if I need a rhythm
It�s gonna be to my heart I listen
If it don�t take me too far gone

Everybody smile please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography

Taking a picture of you
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture

Ramalama Bang Bang
Flash Bang Big Bang

my heart aches a little with knowing that this feeling exists in the world. i can't be so optimistic in hoping that someone would want to share their world with me this way. but it makes me feel a little better about the world just knowing that something like this is in it.

Look After You

The Fray

If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Oh, oh,
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I'll look after you
And I'll look after you

If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly

Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh

It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

You are so beautiful to me

*sigh*

I've posted it before, but it needs to be posted again.

"Slow Dancing In A Burning Room"
John Mayer

It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of,
This love that we've been working on.

Can't seem to hold you like I want to,
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.

We're going down and you can see it too.
We're going down and you know that we're doomed.
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me,
Baby you're the only light I ever saw.

I'll make the most of all the saddness.
You be a bitch because you can.
You'll try to hit me just to hurt me,

So you leave me feeling dirty cause you can't understand.

We're going down
And you can see it too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed.

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.

Go cry about it
why don't you?

Go cry about it
why don't you?

Go cry about it
why don't you?

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.

Don't you think we ought to know by now?
Don't you think we should've learned somehow?

Shelter

Ray LaMontagne

I guess you don't need it
I guess you don't want me to repeat it
But everything I have to give I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
You tried to stay, but you could not stand it
To see me shut down slow
as though it was an easy thing to do

Listen when all of this around us will fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
And I will shelter you
I will shelter you

I left you heartbroken, but not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you
It's hard to believe it
Even as my eyes do see it
The very things that make you live are killing you

Listen when all of this around us will fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
I will shelter you

Listen when all of this around us will fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
Hey you will shelter me my love
I will shelter you
If you shelter me too
I will shelter you
I will shelter you

And Dream of Sheep
Kate Bush

Little light shining,
Little light will guide them to me.
My face is all lit up,
My face is all lit up.
If they find me racing white horses,
Theyll not take me for a buoy.

Let me be weak,
Let me sleep
And dream of sheep.

Attention shipping information in sea areas...bell rock, tiree,
Cromaty, gale east...malin, sellafield...

Come here with me now.

Oh, Ill wake up
To any sound of engines,
Evry gull a seeking craft.
I cant keep my eyes open--
Wish I had my radio.

I tune in to some friendly voices
Talking bout stupid things.
I cant be left to my imagination.

Let me be weak,
Let me sleep
And dream of sheep.

Ooh, their breath is warm
And they smell like sleep,
And they say they take me home.
Like poppies heavy with seed
They take me deeper and deeper.

Why yes, I AM the Mekong River Commission!

Yes
by Amber

Ohhh yeah

yeah

Saw him once in the hills
Water in the canyon
walked by the sun
I brushed up against him
Wild flowers on fire

And then I asked him with my eyes
To ask again (yes)
And then he asked me would I?
Yes, Yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes, I mean yes...

The moon rose in the sky
As we lay together
One second goes by
Then becomes forever
Come to you by desire

And then I asked him with my eyes
To ask again (yes)
And then he asked me would I?
Yes, Yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes, I will yes
Yes
Yes
Ohhh yes

I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he could feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes, I will yes...

Why yes, I AM the Mekong River Commission!

Scarlet
Brooke Fraser

Middle of nowhere
Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name
It's easier

Shut your eyes tightly
Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently expose what's underneath

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in your day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...

So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good

Your mind is swollen
From months of thought without release
They've taken their toll on you
This very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty
Is precious and rare and fleeting

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in your day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...

So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good

I can't get over how beautiful this song is. It makes me feel a lot like "New Slang" by the Shins makes me feel.

Empty
Ray LaMontagne

she lifts her skirt up to her knees,
walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing.
i never learned to count my blessings,
i choose instead to dwell in my disasters.
i walk on down a hill,
through grass, grown tall and brown
and still its hard somehow to let go of my pain.
on past the busted back of that old and rusted cadillac
that sinks into this field, collecting rain.
will i always feel this way?
so empty, so estranged

and of these cut- throat busted sunsets,
these cold and damp white mornings
i have grown weary.
if through my cracked and dusted dime-store lips
i spoke these words out loud would no one hear me?
lay your blouse across the chair,
let fall the flowers from from your hair
and kiss me with that country mouth, so plain.
outside, the rain is tapping on the leaves,
to me it sounds like they're applauding us, the quiet love we made.
will i always feel this way?
so empty, so estranged

well i looked my demons in the eyes,
laid bare my chest, said do your best, destroy me.
you see, i've been to hell and back so many times,
i must admit you kind of bore me.
there's a lot of things that can kill a man,
there's a lot of ways to die,
listen, some already did that walked beside me.
there's alot of things i don't understand,
why so many people lie.
its the hurt i have inside that fuels the fire inside me.
will i always feel this way?
so empty, so estranged

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Breakable
Ingrid Michaelson

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So its fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

And we are so fragile
And our cracking bones make noise
And we are just
Breakable breakable breakable girls and boys

You fasten my seatbelt because it is the law
In your two ton death trap I finally saw
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret
Then you drove me to places Ill never forget

And we are so fragile
And our cracking bones make noise
And we are just
Breakable breakable breakable girls and boys

And we are so fragile
And our cracking bones make noise
And we are just
Breakable breakable breakable girls-
Breakable breakable breakable girls-
Breakable breakable breakable girls and boys

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

I so love this song I heat the repeat everytime the shuffle finds it

Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Album: Born On A Pirate Ship
Title: When I Fall

Words by Steven Page & Ed Robertson
Music by Ed Robertson

I look straight in the window, try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees.

Chorus:
I wish I could fly
From this building, from this wall
And if I should try,
would you catch me if I fall?

My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
Can't look below me, or something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings.

I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive.

I wish I could step from this scaffold
onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead

Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece

Chorus

"Better That We Break" by Maroon 5

I never knew perfection 'til
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
Just to hear you say the simple things
Now waking up is hard to do
And sleeping is impossible too
Everything is reminding me of you
What can I do?

It's not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we're better off this way?
I'm not fine, I'm in pain
It's harder everyday
Maybe we're better off this way?
It's better that we break?

A fool to let you slip away
I chase you just to hear you say
You're scared and that you think that I'm insane

The city look so nice from here
Pity I can't see it clearly
While you're standing there, it disappears
It disappears

It's not right, not OK
Say the word it should say
Maybe we're better off this way?
I'm not fine, I'm in pain
It's harder everyday
Maybe we're better off this way?
It's better that we break

Saw you sitting all alone
You're fragile and you're cold, but that's all right
Life these days is getting rough
They've knocked you down and beat you up
But it's just a rollercoaster anyway, yeah

It's not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we're better off this way?
I'm not fine, I'm in pain
It's harder everyday
Maybe we're better off this way?

I'm not fine, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we're better off this way?

I'm not fine, I'm in pain
It's harder everyday
Maybe we're better off this way?
It's better that we break, baby

WHERE I STOOD

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun

And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood

yup.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

This song is like a weird dream I had once. I can't even describe it... it sounds to me like the soundtrack to some black-and-white talky about mermaids, where the ocean is made out of cardboard and there are tin-foil stars in the sky. I know that's really pretentious, but seriously, it's what it makes me imagine.

Ships in the Night
Brazilian Girls

Now that your leave is over
Let�s down our drinks and say goodnight
to this illusion

Bell-bottom Casanova
The silhouettes that pass us by

Are ships in the night
Ships in the night,
in the night, in the night

When you alight, mein Lieber
Whether its Hamburg or New york
I�ll still be sleeping

Look in your wallet all you�ll find
A little note I�ve left behind
Oh, I hope you don�t mind

We�re Ships in the night
Ships in the night
Ships in the night,
in the night

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Keep Breathing
Ingrid Michaelson

The storm is coming, but I don't mind.
People are dying, I close my blinds.

All that I know is I'm breathing now.

I want to change the world, instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.

But all that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing. [8x]

All we can do is keep breathing now.

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Losing My Mind
Sondhiem/Curry

The sun comes up, I think about you.
The coffee cup, I think about you.
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind.
The morning ends, I think about you.
I talk to friends, and think about you,
And do they know, it's like I'm losing my mind.

All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right.

I dim the lights, and think about you.
Spend sleepless nights, and think about you.
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind.
Does no one know, it's like I'm losing my mind.

All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor,
Not going left, not going right.

I dim the lights, and think about you.
Spend sleepless nights to dream about you.
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
It's like I'm losing my mind.

Mikey got with Sharon, Sharon got Sheriee
She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love dyin' they were doin' it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain then he lost his leg in Dallas he was dancin' with the train
They were all in love with dyin' they were drinkin' from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugar-y and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
Some will die in hot pursuit and fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain

I'd do a happy dance to this, but it involves many people throwing their whole weight into each other, trying to take out the nearest wall.

Fun stuff.

They'll kill the actor in the end
Shannon Wright

If not for you
I'd be lost
And with too much to repay
With one lace and one shoe

If not for you
I would be a broken bird with broken wings
That won�t move
That won�t mend

Everything must come to an end
Let's stay as long as we can
Everything must come to an end
They'll kill the actor in the end

If not for you
I'd be cast
With my tail between my legs
Without you
There'd be no rest

Everything must come to an end
Let's stay as long as we can
Everything must come to an end
They'll kill the actor in the end

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU?
by Sting

Under the dog-star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North-north-west, the stones of Faroe

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?
Why should I, why should I cry for you?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?
Why should I, why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless fog
For all my days remaining

What would be true?
Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I? Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
'I loved you in my fashion?'
What would be true?
Why should I, why should I cry for you?
Why should I cry?

It's OK Love
Saybia

Caught in a well
between heaven and hell
it's getting lonely out here
highways and hotels
and head liner shows
it's all just making me sad

Sorry if I ever let you down
I never meant to
stayed inside the only world I knew
'till I forgot
that nothing is as beautiful as when
I am with you
and life isn't life out there
without you here

Just when I thought
there was nobody out there
no one who quite understood me
I glanced to the side
and I found you there smiling
patiently holding my hand
saying over and over
it's ok love
easy love
I'm here

So finally I'm ready to reveal
what my heart tells me
bring out all that's good inside of me
and let it shine
knowing that I'll never be alone
while I'm with you
and life isn't life out there
without you here

Just when I thought
there was nobody out there
no one who quite understood me
I glanced to the side
and I found you there smiling
patiently holding my hand
saying over and over
it's ok love
easy love
I'm yours

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

As promised - the lyrics!

Cowboy Love - The Rev. Horton Heat

I wanna go two steppin',
With a good lookin' big black buck,
I want him to come and pick me up in his chevrolet pick-up truck,
And when we're on the dance floor his hat will rise high above,
It's inter-racial cowboy homo kind of love.

Tall of course dark and handsome,
A gentleman in every way,
A true cow poke in every sense of the word,
We really go to work in the hay.

A bronc bustin' bull ridin' tiger,
Yet peaceful as a dove,
It's inter-racial cowboy homo kind of love,

I know that us as a couple,
Will cause talk but I wouldn't mind,
Those cowboys will be pea green with envy,
When they see his cute behind.

That's why each night by the campfire,
I thank my lucky stars above,
For inter-racial cowboy homo kind of love.

Yeah I know that us as a couple,
Will cause talk but I wouldn't mind,
Those cowboys will be pea green with envy,
When they see his cute behind.

That's why each night by the campfire,
I thank my lucky stars above,
For inter-racial cowboy homo kind of love.
Kind of love,
Kind of love.

beautiful song. it's the first verse that gets to me.

The Story

Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
Yeah you do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
Is hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through but you do
And I was made for you...

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

WONDER WHY WE EVER GO HOME
Jimmy Buffett

Years grow shorter, not longer,
the more you've been on your own.
Feelin's for movin' grow stronger'
so you wonder why you ever go home,
wonder why you ever go home.

People are movin' so quickly.
Humor's in need of repair.
Same occupations and same obligations;
they've really got nothing to share,
like drivin' around with no spare.

River gets deeper not shallow,
the further you move down the stream.
Wonderin'if I can keep her as I
race to keep up with my dreams.
How they shine and glitter and gleam.

Years grow shorter, not longer,
the more you've been on your own.
Feelin's for movin' grow stronger'
so you wonder why you ever go home,
wonder why you ever go home.

HALLELUJAH
by LEonard Cohen

I've heard there was a secretl chord
that David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, Do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor Fall, The major lift,
The baffled king composing, hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne
she cut your hair and from your lips she drew a halleujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone here before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
No it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
Ah but now you never show it to me, do ya?
Well remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath that we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
All I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
No, it's a cold and it's a lonely Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch
I told the truth; I didn't come (all this way) to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the lord of song
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah�

This Just Doesn't Seem to Be My Day

By Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
(perfromed by The Monkees)

I guess I should have stayed in bed,
My pillow wrapped 'round my head.
Instead of waking up to find
A nightmare of a different kind.
She went away,
This just doesn't seem to be my day.

She didn't have to say a lot,
Her pretty eyes revealed the plot.
'Twas someone else she want more,
And so I walked her to the door.
What can I say?
This just doesn't seem to be my day.

My, oh my, how sad am I.
How I wish she would have stayed
This just doesn't seem to be my day.

My whole world is upside down,
She turned my smile into a frown.
It's such a pity the shape I'm in,
I must get on my feet again.
Can't stay this way
This just doesn't seem to be my day.

Summer in the City
Lovin' Spoonful

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

Summer
WAR

Ridin' 'round town with all the windows down
Eight track playin' all your fav'rite sounds
The rhythm of the bongos fill the park
The street musicians tryin' to get a start

'Cause it's summer
Summer time is here
Yes, it's summer
My time of year
Yes, it's summer
My time of year

Stretched out on a blanket in the sand
Kids of all ages diggin' Disneyland
Rappin' on the C B radio in your van
We'll give a big "ten four" to the truckin' man

'Cause it's summer
Summer time is here
Yes, it's summer
My time of year

In Atlantic City or out in Malibu
Or any where between, I'm telling you
When you feel those balmy breezes on your face
Summer time is the best time any place

Cause it's summer
Summer time is here
Yes, it's summer
My time of year

I WILL GO SAILING NO MORE
by Randy Newman

Out among the stars I sail
Way beyond the moon
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
Now I know exactly who I am
And what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more

All the things I thought I'd be
All the brave things I'd done
Vanished like a snowflake
With the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship
Where no man has gone before
And I will go sailing no more

No it can't be true
I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky
I believe I can fly
Why I'd fly

Clearly I will go sailing, no more

The Great Sense of Passing Through
Paolo Nutini

I have returned to the northern skies,
Where the summer had not touched
The clouds that pass above.
Oh, and I have returned to the somber grace
Of the days too early to come and too early to stay.
And I have left a million stars,
And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue.
And I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun.
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through.
Oh, for once there was beauty here for me
Under these white, northern skies.
I felt the green was blacker
And the blue was darker still.
My roots are lying deeper than I ever think they will again.
Heartache and poverty under these northern skies.
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

WHEN SHE LOVED ME
by Randy Newman

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy
So was I
When she loved me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be

And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say I will always love you

Lonely and forgotten,
I'd never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me and held me just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart

When she loved me

MISSING YOU
by David Wilcox

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left

And there's a storm that's ragin'
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you
And it's almost drivin' me wild
And there's a heart that's breakin'
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missin' you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missin' you at all
No matter what my friends say

There's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losin' this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
But it's my heart that's breakin'
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missin' you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missin' you at all
No matter what I might say

But there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
If I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heart break overload

I ain't missin' you
I ain't missin' you

I can lie to myself
But there's a storm that's ragin'
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missin' you at all
I ain't missin' you
I ain't missin' you
I ain't missin' you
Missin' you

Hit the nail right on the head.

Never Again
Kelly Clarkson

I hope the ring you gave to her
Turns her finger green
I hope when you�re in bed with her
you think of me
I would never wish bad things
But I don�t wish you well
Could you tell
By the flames that burned your words

I never read your letter
Cause I knew what you�d say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try to make it all okay

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
bet it sucks
to see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
you knew
exactly what you would do
And don�t say
You simply lost your way
She may believe you
But I never will
Never again

If she really knows the truth
She deserves you
A trophy wife
Oh, how cute
Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes
And he�s through with you
And he�ll be through with you
You�ll die together, but alone

You wrote me in a letter
You couldn�t say it right to my face
Well, give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
bet it sucks to see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
you knew
exactly what you would do
And don't say
You simply lost your way
They may believe you
But I never will
Never again

Never again will I hear you
Never again will I miss you
Never again will I fall to you
Never
Never again will I kiss you
Never again will I want to
Never again will I love you
Never!

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
Bet it sucks
To see my face everywhere
It was you

This song is so splendidly catchy-- I've been singing it for the past three days, non-stop. And it's not annoying at all. I just really love it.

Alloway Grove
Paolo Nutini

Coming home again
To see a girl thats prettier than a diamond shining in the sun
Oh what fun
I wonder if she's been naked in her room since I've been gone
I wonder if she's said to them as she said to me before

However much you use me baby, come on use me more
However much you use me baby, come on use me more

Getting off the train
To see a girl that's sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree
Oh glory be
And I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall
And said to all those men as she said to me before

However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
and more and more and more

La-la-la, la la la la

Arriving at the door
Just to be told that the girl I'm missing has been in London for a while
No more northern skies for her
They say she's left a letter up the stair for everyone
It's pinned against her bedroom door for all the world to see and she says

However much I love you, you will always love me more
However much I love you, you will always love me more
And I guess it's true
However much she loves me I will always love her more

La-la-la la la la la

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
and more and more....

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Scarlet
Brooke Fraser

Middle of nowhere
Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name
It's easier

Shut your eyes tightly
Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently expose what's underneath

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in your day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...

So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good

Your mind is swollen
From months of thought without release
They've taken their toll on you
This very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty
Is precious and rare and fleeting

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in your day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...

So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good

oh my word. seriously.

Nice
from Lucky Stiff

I have a toast to make.
It's the first one I've ever made.

As long as its goodbye and knowing this is it,
I have a little something to admit.

It was
Nice fighting you, nice hating you
Nice knowing I was aggravating you.
Amazing, but true. It was

Nice

You were impossible,
Unbearable,
My nerves were almost
unrepairable.
But now that it's through,
It was nice

From now on I'll have no one to ruin my day
A view won't be a view without you in my way

And no sleepless nights,
No heart attacks,
No need to bring along your battleaxe
No way I would do this twice,
but once, just once,
it was nice

From now on I'll have no one to ruin my day
A view won't be a view without you in my way

So nice knowing you, nice meeting you
Nice knowing there'll be no repeating you
And won't life be paradise,
So sane and calm, and plain, and much too nice

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

"Just a Little Girl" by Trading Yesterday

You never cared to hear the other side
So why would you care to keep this thing alive
You made me into the memory of all your pain
But I will not be drawn into the past again

Cuz all of this is all that I can take
And you will never understand the demons that I face
So go ahead and bat your eyes and lie right to the world
Cuz for everything you are, you're just a little girl

I never meant for you to feel this way
But decembers were never meant to be our graves
It's not a question of who was wrong and what is right
And time cannot heal and you will never recognize

Cuz all of this is all that I can take
And you will never understand the demons that I face
So go ahead and bat your eyes and lie right to the world
Cuz for everything you are, you're just a little girl

So go ahead and cry
Go ahead believe that you were right
Don't keep away the dark
Help you sleep tonight

Who are you to decide
Who is wrong and who is right
Because you know inside

Cuz all of this is all that I can take
And you will never understand the demons that I face
So go ahead and bat your eyes and lie right to the world
Cuz for everything you are, you're just a little girl

Once again, Kelly is singing my life...

Be Still

Far, away from it all
You and me with no one else around
A brand new start
Is all we need, it�s all we need to mend these hearts
Back to the beginning

Be still
Let it go

Before we lost hope
When we still touched and love wasn�t so hard

Be still
I already know

Foolish one with the smile
You don�t have to be brave
Every time we fall down
But we�re falling from grace
I�ll gladly climb your walls if you�ll meet me halfway

Slow, slow it down
Why do we run, we�re missing so much babe
Just lay in my arms for a while

Be still

We should�ve known

Foolish one with the smile
You don�t have to be brave
I�ll gladly climb your walls
If you�ll meet me halfway
Every time we fall down
But we�re falling from grace
Here�s my hand and my heart
It�s yours to take

Be still

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

The Girl From Ipanema
(Garota de Ipanema)

(music: Antonio Carlos Jobim
Portuguese lyrics: Vinicius de Moraes
English lyrics: Norman Gimbel)

Olha que coisa mas linda mas cheia
De graca e ela menina que vem
E que passa num doce balanco a caminho do mar

Moca do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balancado e mais que um poema
E a coisa mais linda que eu ja vi passar

Ah! Por que estou tao sozinho?
Ah! Por que tudo e tao triste?
Ah! A beleza que existe
A beleza que nao e so minha
Que tambem passa sozinha

Ah! se ela soubesse que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graca
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes "ahh"

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes "ahh"

Oh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at he

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see

She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see
She doesn't see
No, she doesn't see

I just heard a cool version on Radio Margaritaville. I missed who did it, unfortunately.

Reading it just now, I like the Portuguese lyrics better than the English ones.

Well, the Portuguese lyrics were first, then they had to fit the English ones to it later (as I understand it).

Yup. But the story in Portuguese is just a bit better, in my opinion. Portuguese is a beautiful language. I've seen a few songs that were originally written in English but that I liked so much better after they'd been translated to Portuguese. Someone who learns a few key phrases in Portuguese can easily get at my heart.

I'll bear that in mind for future reference. Wink

Firefly Theme Song
Main Title Theme Written by: Joss Whedon
Performed by: Sonny Rhodes

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

How Much It Hurts
Just Off Turner

Speak. Speak your mind
You're always telling me I need to open mine
And wait, wait your turn
Then shut me out cuz' you've got nothing left to learn

You say there's nothing wrong with being proud
So, tell me what you love and say it loud
Now here's the dose that you've been dishing out:

If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts

Oh, I'm wrong - I'm wrong again
But not because of where I stand but where I've been
And it burns, you know it burns like hell
To know there's nothing left to do but wish you well

You say there's nothing wrong with being proud
So, tell me what you love and say it loud
I've been good enough to stay and hear you out

But you're wrong - You're never wrong

You say there's nothing wrong with being proud
So, tell me what you love and say it loud
I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt

If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts
If you're listening this is how much it hurts

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

This song is stuck in my head and it cheers me up, because it's so ridiculously goofy-cute and I can't wait to feel this way about somebody again.

Bubbly
Colbie Caillat

I've been awake for a while now
You make me feel like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

It starts in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I going to say
When you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm

And it starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it stats in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever wherever wherever you go
Wherever wherever wherever you go

wherever you go
I always know
'Cause you make me smile
Even just for a while

This is where I am today... The music in this song by Gordon Lightfoot is some of the most pretty music I have heard... but then again it's part of my history with my dad.

If you could read my mind

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as Im a ghost that you cant see
If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you wont read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take

Id walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, lets be real
I never thought I could act this way
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
Youll know that Im just tryin to understand
The feelins that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And Ive got to say that I just to get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

Paolo. Paolo, I'd marry you. I sincerely would. Oh how much do I love this song lately. I can't stop listening to it. I think it may be my favorite so far, just because it's so... it's so... it reminds me of "Jessie's Girl" or something.

Jenny Don't Be Hasty
Paolo Nutini

You said you'd marry me
if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see
if I'm only 18
Tell me who made these rules
Obviously not you
Who are you answering to?

Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me

I'll be around again
to see the other men
They're more adequate
in the age department
I did not think you cared.
There'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
Then I'm definitely waiting for you to smile
and change your mind
Then I'll say I'm sorry and
I'll wrap my arms 'round your body
I really hope that you forgive in a hurry
And don't just ask me to leave

Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
Don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me

Oh, Jenny you are crazy
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby

And it kills me

Shores of California
The Dresden Dolls

he�s been trying with limited success
to get this girl let him get into her dress
but every time he thinks he�s getting close
she threatens death before he gets a chance

and that�s the way it is in minnesota
that�s the way it is in Oklahoma
that�s the way it�s been since protozoa
first climbed onto the shores of California

she�s been trying with limited success
to get him to turn out the lights and dance
cause like any girl all she really wants
is that fickle little bitch romance
that fickle little bitch romance

and that is why a girl is called a tease
and that is why a guy is called a sleaze
and that�s why god made escort agencies
one life to live and mace and GHB

and that�s the way it is in minnesota
that�s the way it is in Oklahoma homa
that�s the way since the animals and noah
first climbed onto shores of California

must not be too kind
stop thinking love is blind
clench your fists, yeah write
"she's just not my type"

why all these conflicting specifications
maybe to prevent overpopulation
all I know is that all around the nation
the girls are cryin� the boys are masturbatin�
the girls are cryin� the boys are masturbatin�

and that�s the way it is in Minnesota
that�s the way it is in Oklahoma homa
the way since Aristophanes and homer
wrote the iliad and lysistrata

that�s the way it is in minnesota
that�s the way it is in Oklahoma homa
that�s the way since the ancient protozoa
first climbed onto the shores of California

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

My Mindy-Smith-and-Patty-Griffin-sad-country-girl phase is only getting worse. Seriously.

This song is so appropriate for about four different people right now.

Hurricane
Mindy Smith

I felt the
Faint trace of thunder
Rattle this old house
I saw the fire light the sky
But there's no sign of rain anywhere

I need a hurricane
To empty out this place
Seems it's the only way
To salvage any sense I have left
To move on

I'm waiting
To hear your voice again
And lighten up this heart
I'm holding on to stupid memories
But I see you in every little thing

I need a hurricane
To straighten out this place
It maybe the only way
To salvage any sense I have left
To move on

I need a hurricane
To ravage through place
I think it's the only way
To salvage any sense
I have left
To move on

I felt the
Faint trace of thunder
But there's no sign of rain anywhere
No, there's no sign of you anywhere

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Love Song For No One
John Mayer

Staying home alone on a Friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
Get here

Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking for
I'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
Staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?
Oh no way

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me
Oh You'll be so good

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Callin' In Gone
Jim Hoehn
(Performed by the Boat Drunks)

Dead stuck in traffic, you know I'm headed for a job I hate
Ain't nothing movin' but the hands on my watch
Full throttle hurry up and wait
I'm sick of the ratrace, I can't take one more day
My life is too short to live it this way
I'm dialin' the office, put the bossman on
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone

I'm callin' in gone, full-fledged adios
I'm leavin' this cubilce for a spot on the coast
Gonna find me a beach, that's where I belong
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone

"What the hell are you doin'?"
I keep asking myself
Only I know the answer, there's nobody else
Like a rat on a wheel, that's how I compare
I'm running all day and getting nowhere
So enough is enough
I'm saying so long
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone

No jacket and tie, no morning commute
I'm waving goodby
A one finger salute
Going down to the ocean, gonna lay in the sun
The only boss I'll hear is singing Born To Run
I've got plenty of room, why don't you come along
We won't be callin' in sick, we're callin' in gone

I'm callin' in gone, full-fledged adios
I'm leavin' this cubicle for a spot on the coast
Gonna find me a beach, that's where I belong
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Half of Him
The Beautiful South

Why forbidden fruit always looks so sweet
Hanging down like devil's food, from highest branch on tree
Yes, woman should be satisfied
Be happy with her lot
But sometimes half of him
Seems better than the whole I've got
Yes, sometimes half of hell right here
Is better than a heaven forgot

Yeild not to temptation is only good advice
If true love happens just the once and never ever twice
Yes, woman should be satisfied
Be happy with her lot
But sometimes half of him
Seems better than the whole I've got
Yes, sometimes half of hell right here
Seems better than a heaven forgot

We were happy with happily ever after
But only if the plot
Had bad guys we could boo and hiss
And good guys we could not
We probably feel that second best
Could actually be much worse
But you're kind of drawn to chocolate
When you've tasted wafer first
Yes you're kind of drawn to chocolate
When you've tasted wafer first

Hunt me down like your other prey let your claws take hold
If what I've chosen's truly grey, make tiger black and gold
Yes, woman should be satisfied
Be happy with her lot
But sometimes half of him
Seems better than the whole I've got
Yes, sometimes half of hell right here
Is better than a heaven forgot

We were happy with happily ever after
But only if the plot
Had bad guys we could boo and hiss
And good guys we could not
We probably feel that second best
Could actually be much worse
But you're kinda drawn to chocolate
When you've tasted wafer first
Yes, you're kinda drawn to chocolate
When you've tasted wafer first

'I Can't Get No Satisfaction'
so sang all the guys
The biggest single breeding ground
For a girls 'I Will Survive'

We'll be happy with happily ever after
But only when the song
Admits 'Can't Get No Satisfaction'
Wasn't all our wrong
We probably feel that second best
Could actually be much worse
But you're kind of put off wafer
When you've tasted chocolate first
Yes, you're kinda put off wafer
When you've tasted chocolate first

Why forbidden fruit always looks so sweet

"Rump Shaker" by Wreckx-N-Effect

Yeah

All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump
All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump

Check, baby, check, baby, 1-2-3-4
Check, baby, check, baby, 1-2-3
Check, baby, check, baby, 1-2
Check, baby, check, baby, 1

It's called rump shaker, the piece is like sweeter than candy
I'm feelin' manly and you say it's comin' in handy
Slidin' my claws from New York down by N. Virginia
Ticklin' you around Delaware before I enter
Total seduction, from face, hips, to feet
A wiggle and jiggle can make the night complete
Now since you got the body of the year, come and get the award
Here's a hint, it's like a long chop sword
Flip town, so let me see you shake it up like dice
The way you shake your rump is turnin' mighty men to mice
But A+ got a surprise that's a back breaker
Now let me see you shake your rump like a rump shaker

All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump

Wreckx-N-Effect is in effect, but I'm the wrecker
Off the track, 'bout the honey shakin' rumps and they backs in
Booties of the cuties steady shakin' but relaxin'
The action is packed than a jam like the kinds of beat
Bound to get you up, cold flowin' like a faucet
Not meant to make you sit, Not meant to make you jump
But Jet make the hotties in the parties shake your rump
I like the way you comb your hair, uh
I like the stylish clothes you wear, uh
It's just the little things you do, uh
That makes me wanna get with you, uh

All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump
All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump

All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump
All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump

Shake it, shake it, shake it, now shake it
She could spend every birthday butt naked
Body and soul, makin' me wanna squish her
More just in the game a rumper like a sub-woofer
Shake it to the left, shake it to the right
I don't mind stickin' it to her every single night
Come on pass the poom-poom, send it to papa
Shake it, baby, shake it, baby, shake it, don't stoppa
Let me see you do the booty hock, and now I'll make the booty stock
Now drop and do the booty rock
The way you're shakin' your grill's really kill
It's makin' broth' ills up a whole lot of pills
But I ain't into trickin' just to treatin'
And I ain't into treatin' every trick that I'm meetin'
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah, shake it, baby, shake it down, shake it like that

All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump
All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump

All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom

I love this band! My brother introduced me to them yesterday. If Mika and the Rocket Summer had a baby and that baby made an album, I think it might sound kinda like this.

Meaningless Love
Under the Influence of Giants

I like you better
In any weather
When you're not trying
It's so inviting
I don't deserve you
I can't afford you
Unless you're timeless

I wanted to say that I had nothing to do with
The meaning of love
So you can't say that ( )
I wanted to hide but I had nothing to do with
The meaningless loving ahead

I find that letter
We wrote together
When time was fearless
Nobody's mistress
I tried to tell you
I can't afford you
Unless you're timeless

I wanted to say that I had nothing to with
The meaning of love
So you can't say that ( )
I wanted to hide but I had nothing to do with
The meaningingless loving ahead

I wanted to say that I had nothing to do with
The meaning of love
So you can't say that ( )
I wanted to hide but I had nothing to do with
The meaningless loving ahead

Said you can walk with me
You can walk with me

You can walk with me
You can walk with me
Oh, oh
You can walk with me
You can walk with me

You can walk with me
You can walk with me
(Come sit closer, yeah)

You can walk with me
You can walk with me

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

The Story

Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
Yeah you do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
Is hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through but you do
And I was made for you...

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Marry Me a Little
Company

Marry me a little,
Love me just enough.
Cry, but not too often,
Play, but not too rough.
Keep a tender distance
so we'll both be free.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!
Marry me a little,
Do it with a will.
Make a few demands
I'm able to fulfill.
Want me more than others,
Not exclusively.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!

You can be my best friend,
I can be your right arm.
We'll go through a fight or two--
No harm, no harm.
We'll look not too deep,
We'll go not too far.
We won't have to give up a thing,
We'll stay who we are.
Right?
Okay, then.
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!

Someone--
Marry me a little,
Love me just enough.
Warm and sweet and easy,
Just the simple stuff.
Keep a tender distance
So we'll both be free.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!

Marry me a little,
Body, heart, and soul.
Passionate as hell
But always in control.
Want me first and foremost,
Keep me company.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!

Oh, how gently we'll talk,
Oh, how softly we'll tread.
All the stings,
The ugly things
We'll keep unsaid.
We'll build a cocoon
Of love and respect.
You promise whatever you like,
I'll never collect.
Right?
Okay, then.
I'm ready.
I'm ready now.
Someone--

I'm ready!

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

This is one of my favorite peaceful songs. It put me to sleep last night, finally. (That and a shipload of chamomile tea.)

God In My Bed
k's Choice

Before last night my heart was grey
Like my country is today
Big kaleidoscope I see
A thousand people gaze at me
To break the ice I start to sing
About a cell called everything
A cell so big a word like small
Is suitable to say it all
Is the fighting over?
I lost track
Like a wave it all comes back
Same kaleidoscope I see
Someone standing next to me
It's hard to do, it's hard to try
Hard to stop wondering why
Do I keep filing every case
When the answer's on your face
You can't see her but you do
Music is transparent too
So join me, sing with all your might
Hallelujah, praise tonight
Far away and long ago
Wintertime meant feeling low
Now every single star looks bright
God was in my bed last night

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Save Me

Aimee Mann

You look like a perfect fit
For a girl in need of a tourniquet

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

'Cause I can tell
You know what it's like
The long farewell of the hunger strike

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

You struck me dumb like radium
Like Peter Pan or Superman

You will come to save me
C'mon and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
'Cept the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
But the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

C'mon and save me
Why don't you save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks who could never love anyone

This describes how i feel this week. Don't ask why.

BLAZE OF GLORY
by Jon Bon Jovi

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind

When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can

I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun

You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I've known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun

Solo

Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a bullet
Let me make my final stand

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun

When DAMN THE TORPEDOS first came out many years ago, I thought this song was what love was all about.

I was right.

"Here Comes My Girl"
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

You know sometimes, I don't know why,
But this old town seems so hopeless.
Yeah, I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more... in focus.

But when she puts her arms around me
I can somehow rise above it.
Yeah, man when I got that little girl standin' right by my side,
You know, I can tell the whole wide world "SHOVE IT!" Hey!

Here comes my girl. Here comes my girl.
Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight.

Every now and then I come down to the end of the day
And I have to stop and ask myself why I've done it.
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard
And nothin' ever really seems to come from it.

But then she looks me in the eye and says,
"We're gonna last forever."
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it.
No, . cause it just feels so good and so free and so right.
I know we ain't never goin' to change our minds about it - Hey!

Here comes my girl. Here comes my girl.
Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight. (Watch her walk.)

Every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more,
I find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something.
Yeah, I just catch myself waiting, wondering, worrying
About some silly little thing that don't add up to nothin'.

But then she looks me in the eye and says,
"We're gonna last forever."
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it.
No, . cause it just feels so good and so free and so right.
I know we ain't never gonna' to change our minds about it - Yeah!

Here comes my girl. Here comes my girl.
Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight.

This song came up on random today. It feels right, except for the actual "stand still look pretty" part.

Stand Still, Look Pretty
The Wreckers

I want to paint my face
And pretend that I am someone else
Sometimes I get so fed up
I don't even want to look at myself

But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I hate the way you look at me I have to say
I wish I could start over

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty

Sometimes I find myself shaking
In the middle of the night
And then it hits me and I can't
Even believe this is my life

But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouths
I'm not strong enough to deal with it

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I would kill to play this role. I love this show so much.

Stranger to the Rain
from Children of Eden

Shed no tears for me
There'll be rain enough today
I'm wishing you godspeed
As I wave you on your way
This won't be the first time
I've stayed behind to face
The bitter consequences
Of an ancient fall from grace
I'm a daughter of the race of Cain
I am not a stranger to the rain

Orphan in the storm
That's a role I've played before
I've learned not to tremble
When I hear the thunder roar
I don't curse what I can't change
I just play the hand I'm dealt
When they lighten up the rations
I tighten up my belt
I won't say I've never felt the pain
But I am not a stranger to the rain

And somewhere far from safety
There's a man who's walking free
His story isn't mine
But he's as much alone as me
He has left his home to walk among
The wounded and the slain
And when the storm comes crashing on the plain
He will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane

Oh, shed no tears for me
Light no candle for my sake
This journey I'll be making
Is one we all must make
Shoulder to the wind
I'll turn my face into the spray
And when the heavens open
Let the drops fall where they may
If they finally wash away the stain
From a daughter of the race of Cain
I am not a stranger to the rain

Let it rain

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

wild anticipation for the new Tegan and Sara album that comes out tomorrow!

Soil, Soil
Tegan and Sara

Oh and I'm feeling directionless yes
But that's to be expected
And I know that best
And in creeps the morning
And another day's lost
You've just written wondering
And I reply fast

All you need to save me
All you need to save me
Call(call)
And I'll be curled on the floor hiding out from it all
And I won't take any other call

I feel like a fool
So I'm going to stop troubling you
Buried in my yard
A letter to send to you
And if I forget
Or God Forbid
Die too soon
Hope that you'll hear me
Know that I wrote to you

All you need to say to me
All you need to say to me
Is call(call)
And I'll be curled on the floor hiding out from it all
And I won't take any other call

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

The lyrics are super-simple, but this song makes me cry like a little girl. It's really hearts-and-flowers love song, but honestly, if I were in unrequited love right now, I would me more messed up than I already am, listening it. It's so PRETTY.

What You Never Know (Won't Hurt You)
Hayley Westenra

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't say goodbye

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't make you cry

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
My heart's torn in two
I'm falling for you

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't make you try

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

this song in particular has been on repeat for the past two days. love this album. also, i just realized that this album was co-produced by Chris Walla from Death Cab For Cutie. nice.

Dark Come Soon
Tegan and Sara

Dark, you can't come soon enough for me.
Saved from one more day of misery.
Everything I love get back from me now.
Everyone I love, I need you now.
Don't forget a million miles from me.
Safe, and another day can pass by me.

So what, I lied. I lie to me too.
So what, I lied. I lie to me too.

Hold out for the ones you know will love you.
Hide out from the ones you know will love you too.

Right to the edge I'm barely there.
Slow to make my move, I'm almost there.
Everything I say, I say to me first.
Everything I do, I do to me first.

So what, I lied. I lie to me too.
So what, I lied. I lie to me too.

Hold out for the ones you know will love you.
Hide out from the ones you know will love you too.

Dark, you can't come soon enough for me.

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Is That All There Is? �
Peggy Lee �

SPOKEN:
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

SPOKEN:
And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle.
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over,
I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus?

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

SPOKEN:
Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't,
and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?"

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

SPOKEN:
I know what you must be saying to yourselves,
if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment,
for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Why Don't You and I
Nickelback

Since the moment I spotted you,
Like walking around with little wings on my shoes,
My stomach's filled with the butterflies,

Ooh, and it's all right,
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud,
I'd got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I'd said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied,

Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.

So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.

When's this fever going to break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take,
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around,

Ooh, and it's all right,
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I'd said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied.

Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.

So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.

Slowly I begin to realize,
This is never going to end
Right about the same time you walk by,
And I say 'Oh here we go again',
Oh!

Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.

So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.

So I'll say why don't You and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say you why don't You and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.

"One Moment More"
Mindy Smith

Hold me
Even though I know you're leaving
And show me
All the reasons you would stay
It's just enough to feel your breath on mine
To warm my soul and ease my mind
You've got to hold me and show me now

Give me
Just one part of you to cling to
And keep me
Everywhere you are
It's just enough to steal my heart and run
And fade out with the falling sun

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and keep me

Tell me that someday you'll be returning
And maybe
Maybe I'll believe
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really far
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really gone

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and maybe I'll believe

So hold me
Even though I know you're leaving

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

The cow is the cleverest creature I've seen
The cow is a real live milking machine
She chews on her cud while she's resting at ease
But she's really making milk, butter and cheese

There are beauties and there are beasts...then there is me the "beauty with a beastly side!!!"

The Atlantic was born today, and I'll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere when the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean, making islands where no islands should go.

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake, and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row- it seems farther than ever before.

I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.

I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.
I need you so much closer.

So come on
Come on.
So come on
Come on.
So come on
Come on.
So come on
Come on.

Song of Purple Summer

Spring Awakening

And all shall fade
The flowers of spring
The world and all the sorrow
At the heart of everything

But still it stays
The butterflies sings
And opens purple summer
With the flutter of its wings

The Earth will wave with corn
The gray-fly choir will mourn
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they've borne

And all shall know the wonder of purple summer

And yet I wait
The swallow brings
A song too hard to follow

That no one else can sing
The fences sway
The porches swing
The clouds begin to thunder
Crickets wander, murmuring

The Earth will wave with corn
The gray-fly choir will mourn
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they've borne

And all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer
All shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer

All shall know the wonder of purple summer.

All shall know the wonder of purple summer.

Why yes, I AM the Mekong River Commission!

For driving late at night through the city.

Sleep
Azure Ray

Fill these spaces up with days
In my room you can go you can stay

I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

Now these years locked on my drawer
I'll open to see just to be sure

I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes to shift my point of view
And watching through my own light
As it tints the shade of you

Hold my wine hold it in
Nobody's lost but nobody wins

And I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes to shift my point of view
And watching through my own light
As it tints the shade of you

I can't sleep, I can't speak to you
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

This has been stuck in my head all week.

EXTREME WAYS
by Moby

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me

Extreme ways that help me
That help me out at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned

I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along

I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe

I would stand in line for this
It's always good in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Sleep
Garbage

In the middle of the night
Head on my pillow
Looking like a little ghost

Seems like all of the things
That you gave your mother
Have all gone up in smoke

In the middle of the night
You don't know what I'm thinking
But still the stars still sparkle and shine

Seems like all of the time
Our boat was slowly sinking
You didn't even seem to mind

Now all I want to do is sleep
Now all I want to do is sleep
Now all I want to do is sleep

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Cardiac Arrest
Madness

Papers in the morning
Bowler hat on head
Walking to the bus stop
He's longing for his bed
Waiting with his neighbours
In the rush-hour queue
Got to get the first bus
So much for him to do
He's got to hurry got to get his seat
Can't miss his place, got to rest his feet

Ten more minutes till he gets there
The crossword's nearly done
It's getting so hard these days
Not nearly so much fun
His mind wanders to the office
His telephone, desk and chair
He's been happy with the company
They've treated him real fair
Think of seven letters begin and end in 'C'
Like a big American car but misspelt with a 'D'

I wish this bus'd get a move on
Driver's taking his time
I just don't know I'll be late
Oh dear, what will the boss say?
Pull yourself together now
Don't get in a state

Don't you worry, there's no hurry
It's a lovely day
Could all be going your way
Take the doc's advice
Let up, enjoy your life
Listen to what they say
It's not a game they play

Never get there at this rate
He's caught up in a jam
There's a meeting this morning
It's just his luck, oh damn
His hand dives in his pocket
For his handkerchief
Pearls of sweat on his bowler
His pulse-beat seems so brief
Eyes fall on his wrist-watch, the seconds pass real slow
Gasping for the hot air but the chest pain it won't go

Tried to ask for help
But can't seem to speak a word
Words are whispered frantically
But don't seem to be heard
What about the wife and kids?
They all depend on me

We're so sorry, we told you not to hurry
Now it's just too late
You've got a certain date
We thought we made it clear
We all voiced our inner fears
We left it up to you
There's nothing we can do

A goodbye waltz.

Quiet
Rachael Yamagata

Baby says I can't come with him
And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

Take care
I've been hurt before
Too much time spend on closing doors
You may hate me, but I'll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don't cry
You know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything to change when I leave

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Holy hell. This woman's voice is amazing. It's like you can hear her heart breaking.

I Still Cry
Ilse de Lange

I'm making flowers out of paper
While darkness takes the afternoon
I know that they won't last forever
But real ones fade away to soon

Chorus :
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry

It's just that I recall September
It's just that I still hear your song
It's just I can't seem to remember
Forever more those days are gone

Chorus :
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry

I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and i know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Just because I'm in a weird mood today (O.K., a weirder mood):

Let's Talk Dirty In Hawaiian
John Prine

Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
For the land of the tall palm tree.
Aloha ol� Milwaukee,
Hello Waikiki
I just stepped down from the airplane
When I heard her say.
�Wacka Wacka, nuka, licka
Wacka Wacka nuka licka
Would you like a ��Lay

Hey, Let�s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka puka maka waawaa heenee
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my tickie
Whata hecka mooka mooka dear.
Let�s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear.

It�s a ukulele Honolulu sunset
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from the pineapple
Out on Honolulu Bay
The steel guitars are playin�
While she�s talking with her hands
Gimme gimme oaka doaka
Make a wish and wanta poka
Words I understand.

Let�s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka puka maaka waawaa heenee
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my ticky
Whata hecka mooka mooka dear.
Let�s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear.

(There�s more)

Well, I bought a lota junka with my moola
And I sent it to the folks back home
I never had a chance to dance the hula
Well, I guess I should have known
When you start talkin�
To the sweet wahenie
Walkin� in the pale moonlight
Oaka Noaka what I said
Naaka Waaka Siscum baakas
Hope I said it right.

Lets� talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka puka maaka waawaa heenee
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my ticky
Whata hecka mooka mooka dear.
Let�s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear.
Let�s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear.

Aloha

I think this song was written to speak directly to me, and I have to be reminded once in a hile. Thanks, Bono.

U2

"Stuck In A Moment"

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

I've been listening to the Tori Amos cover of this song pretty much on repeat since InternetWifeAlex gave it to me yesterday. "Joni Mitchell is the woman who taught your cold English wife how to feel."

A Case of You
Joni Mitchell

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constant in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
And I sketched your face on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

god, this song is amazing.

We're Both So Sorry
Mirah

I know you didn't mean it and you're sorry that I left
I'll go right on pretending I've got nothing to regret
Except all of the times we wasted giving only second best
You always seemed to lose the spark when I was only half undressed
I drove across a sea of ice to find my own command
The distance paid a lonesome price to see its motherland
Now if you would unbuckle sir, receive your reprimand
And hey, I'm sorry 'bout so much baby, but I know you'll understand
I'm sorry 'bout so much baby, but I know you'll understand

How can I ever apologize? I meant you no such harm
I never knew I could possess that fatal kind of charm
I just wanted to be good to you but I found I was disarmed
By a lifetime of disillusionment and the distraction of the stars
I abdicated now I'm just a prince without a land
My subjects all adore me but for this I had them banned
Now could I trade my guilt for a good flogging by your hand?
And hey, I'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand
I'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand

I can't understand why you refuse my one request
Just to press against my weaponry and then lay bare your chest
Challenges like these can be won or lost or laid to rest
Now we both agree to separate from the lonely castle steps
The kingdom is destabilized, the watchtower unmanned
The bedroom lies abandoned and the future is unplanned
But we've got the past to remind us of love chivalrous and grand
And hey, I'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand
I'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

KITE
by U2

Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it means
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did

'cause hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin

I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone, or anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know, which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me

I'm a man, I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know, where the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Roof top to the basement
The last of the rocks stars
When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
What was the big idea

This sums up my feelings of joy at the monet (note: no one died. Something bad just went away and made me happy).

DING DONG, THE WITCH IS DEAD

Ding-dong the witch is dead
Which old witch? The wicked witch
Ding-dong the wicked witch is dead
Wake up you sleepyhead
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up the wicked witch is dead
She's gone where the goblins go
Below - below - below
Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't remember if I've posted this song before, but it just came up on random play, and is such a fun, bouncy song I felt like posting it.

Angry People
Barenaked Ladies

That's the problem, dear, with angry people
They try to go it alone
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas
That other angries disown
Angry people think a good solution
Is getting others involved
So they surround themselves with happy people
And watch their smiles dissolve

We just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us

Angry people get so sanctimonious
Telling us what to do
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause
We are all phonies too
And those of us who once had wives and families
Understand what I mean
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge
Is overtaken by spleen

Cause we just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us

I am the singer in the band
We're only trying to lend a hand
And though it's not what we had planned
We understand

That we just drag you down
We just drag you down
We just drag you down
Until you're just like us

In a square, a thousand angry people
Are waving signs in the air (hey!)
While a million other happy people
Are trying hard not to care (back off!)
You see, the happy people's biggest problem
Is they're never fearing the worst
While the rest of us will never sleep until
Your happy bubbles are burst

Yeah, we just drag them down
Didn't I just drag you down
Just watch me drag you down
Until you're just like us
Until you're just like us
Oh, until you're just like us
Until you're just like us

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

The Middle Ages
Scott Kirby

I ain't young and I ain't old
I'm not too hot and I'm not yet cold
Standing in the middle of life
Stuck in these worn out shoes
Should I turn left, should I walk right?
Into the sunshine or into the night?
My vision is a little bit fuzzy
My feet are cold

When Mickey Mantle was this age
He was retired
His legs were gone
His belly had lost the fire
If I said I felt much different
I'd be a liar

I ain't fresh and I ain't spoiled
I'm a little bit rusty and I need to get oiled
Grinding along on a
Downhill secion fo track
My cotton ain't high and I'm riding low
My sails are luffing, need a southeast blow
Ghosting along getting nowhere
Kind of tack

When Ali was this age
He was retired
His sting was gone
His belly had lost the fire
If I said I felt much different
I'd be a liar

I'm a little bit blue I'm a little bit gray
I make the same old mistakes
It just takes me all damn day.

When Vincent was this age
He was retired
His mind was gone
His belly had lost the fire
If I said I felt much different
If I said I felt much different
If I said I felt much diferent
I'd be a liar

Burning Bridges

Jason Mraz

I know exactly how you feel
you were this close to closing deals
when everything fell from out your hands
you were forced to decide on other plans now
you figured it best to just to ignore it
otherwise you're only living for it
and if anyone ever wondered why you did it
you'd swear they never knew you sold your soul to the
burning, burning, burning bridges

you know exactly what I want so
I don't have to be so damn upfront
no matter the moment we decide to make our minds up
I know a man who may need a new assignment
to hand in his heart and take his last vacation
attempting to spoil imagination
if anyone ever wonders where he went
I wouldn't say that he spent his time driving over
burning, burning, burning bridges

burning, burning which is
nothing more than a longing for being uninvolved
uninvolved
uninvolved
uninvolved

oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire, it won't bring you back

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Rain
Breaking Benjamin

Take a photograph,
It'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,

I don't have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Is it you I want,
Or just the notion
Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around

Safe to say from here,
Your getting closer now,
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

To lie here under you,
Is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,
To lie here under you is all that i could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

The Rodeo Song (as sung by The Last Outlaw Band)

Well it's forty below and I don't give a f*ck
Got a heater in my truck and I'm off to the rodeo
And it's Allemande left and Allemande right
Come on ya mother f*cker, get your right step right
Get off the stage ya goddam jerk, ya know

Ya piss me off, ya f*ckin' jerk, get on my nerves

Well here comes Johnny with his pecker in his hand
He's a one ball man and he's off to the rodeo
And it's Allemande left and Allemande right
Come on ya mother f*cker get your right step right
Get off the stage ya goddam jerk, ya know

Ya piss me off, f*ckin' jerk, get on my nerves

We saw Stardust last night and then this came up on my iPod on the drive home and it just seemed SO totally perfect.

And A Tear Isn't Such A Bad Thing
The Guggenheim Grotto

Time will heal, all wait and see
My love, my weeping willow tree
The stars are calling your name
Saying, "Weep for us, weep for us
For we cannot weep. Cruel fate."

To be racing, racing through the night
Like a star all alone, it's so hard
Racing, racing, never home
Ever far from the one who holds your heart
"Weep for us, weep for us, little stars."

Don't hold your tears, little tree
Rather shed them for those who cannot weep
The stars are calling your name
Saying, "Weep for us, weep for us
For we cannot weep. Cruel fate."

To be racing, racing through the night
Like a star all alone it's so hard
Racing, racing, never home
Ever far from the one who holds your heart
"Weep for us, weep for us, little stars."

To be racing, racing through the night
Like a star all alone it's so hard
Racing, racing, never home

This is the current song on my mySpace profile.

Like A Child Again- The Mission UK (Wayne Hussey)
I'm not scared anymore
I'm not scared of the dark when I sleep with you
And I'm feeling alive
And I'm feeling strong again when I'm with you
And it hits me
Just like a runaway train
And it blows me away
Just like a hurricane
You can make me happy and I hope you feel the same
You make me feel just like a child, a child again
I'm not trapped anymore
Between Madonna and the whore when I lay with you
And the days run away
Like wild horses run away when I'm with you
And I'm breathing you in
just like the morning air
And I'm wrapping you around
Just like a skin to wear
Oh sweet thing
I'm born once again
For you sweet thing
just like a baby again
You make me happy and I hope you feel the same
And I'm in Heaven and it feels like a gentle rain
You make me happy and I want you to feel the same
You make me feel just like a child
A child again

ITS HARD
(Pete Townshend)

Any tough can fight - few can play
Any fool can fall - few can lay
Any stud can reproduce - few can please
Anyone can pay - few can lease

It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Any man can claim - few can find
Any girl can blink - few can lie
Anyone can promise - few can raise
Anyone can try - but a few can stay

Any brain can hide - few can stand
Any kid can fly - few can land
Any gang can scatter - few can form
Any kid can chatter - few can inform

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so very hard

It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Any soul can sleep - few can die
Any wimp can weep - few can cry
Everyone complains - few can state
Anyone can stop - few can wait

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so hard

Anyone can do anything if they hold the right card
So I'm thinking about my life now
I'm thinking very hard
Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard
Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard

WHO ARE YOU
(Pete Townshend)

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Ah, who the crappity smack are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

Whoooooooo are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, tell me who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, come on, who? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Ah, who the crappity smack are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Ah tell me who are you? (Who are you? Who........)
I really wanna know (Who........)
Oh I really wanna know (Who........)
Come on tell me, who are you? (Who........)
You
You
Are you?

Love Reign O'er Me
Pete Townshend

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields.

Love, Reign o'er me
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

Love Reign O'er me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

My crazy brother Pete saw them on one of their first U.S. tours. Incredible as it may seem, they played at Lagoon, and were the opening act for...wait for it...Herman's Hermits.

You kid me!

My dad spoke often and fondly about how he somehow got backstage and had a beer with Eric Burdon of The Animals when THEY opened for Herman's Hermits.

I kid you not! He says it was probably around '67 or so. The Who finished their set with typical Who abandond, breaking insturments, blowing up the drum set, etc., and the crowd went wild. Then the bandstand revolved, and Peter Noone started singing Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter. And the crowd poured toward the exits. Herman's Hermits got about halfway through the song, then just sort of gave up, since everyone left. Kinda sad, really.

But think about it. How in the world do you transition from My Generation to Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter without blowing a mental gasket?

Really. I think my dad related that yes, actually, The Animals blew them away, too.

You don't. Rather like downshifting from overdrive to first at 180 mph.

this is what it felt like.

The First Day Of My Life
-Bright Eyes

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don�t know where I am
I don�t know where I�ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I�d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said �This is the first day of my life
I�m glad I didn�t die before I met you
But now I don�t care I could go anywhere with you
And I�d probably be happy�

So if you want to be with me
With these things there�s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I�d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

This sums up my attitude toward a lot of things/people right now:

MY LIFE
by Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(I never said)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Of cirumstance)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)

It's still how I feel about him.

Corner of Your Heart
Ingrid Michaelson

There's a corner of your heart for me.
There's a corner of your heart just for me.
I will pack my bags just to stay in the corner of your heart.
Just to stay in the corner of your heart.

There is room beneath your bed for me.
There is room beneath your bed just for me.
I will leave this town just to sleep underneath your bed.
Just to sleep underneath your bed.

There's one minute of your day.
There's one minute of your day.
I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day.
Just to occupy one minute of your day.

Just to sleep underneath your bed.

Just to stay in the corner of your heart.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

This really, really, describes my feelings toward a particular person right now.

ONE
by U2

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame?

You say
One love
One life
When its one need
In the night
Its one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you dont care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well its too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We're one
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Havew you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now its all I got
We're one
But were not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I cant be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

So, this song has been my song since...forever. I love it, I think it's beautiful, it stirs emotions in me that make me cry tears of happiness. I have said, since the beginning of time, that I want it sung at my wedding. Foxx, bless his heart, sings it to me at karaoke...and I just stand there and get lost in it.
BP was asking me about it over the weekend. What is was specifically about the song...and I realized, it's the music, not the lyrics necessarily, that pulls the emotion from me. I also realized I didn't really know the words, so I pulled them today.
The song isn't tied any person or event or relationship of the past, and I like that....to me it's how i want to be loved.

I'll Be

by Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Yo Ho ho and a bottle of Rum
Robert Louis Stevenson

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrawise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of 'em good and true'
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

More was seen through a sternlight screen
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Better Far to Live and Die
Gilbert and Sullivan

Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart.

Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I�ll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King.

For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!

Chorus
You are!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!

King
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.

Chorus
It is!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!

King & Chorus
Hurrah for the/our Pirate King!

When I sally forth to seek my prey
I help myself in a royal way.
I sink a few more ships, it�s true,
Than a well-bred monarch ought to do;

But many a king on a first-class throne,
If he wants to call his crown his own,
Must manage somehow to get through
More dirty work than ever I do,

For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!

Chorus
You are!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!

King
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.

Chorus
It is!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!

King & Chorus
Hurrah for the/our Pirate King! �

She Wants To Play Hearts
Ryan Adams

I am a broken toy
For a lonely girl
Use once and destroy
And go find some more
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
She wants to play a game of hearts

I'm the rag doll boy
With broken eyes
She only comes to me
When it's raining outside
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
She wants to play a game of hearts

I fell for you
I fell for you
Why?
I guess I wanted to play too.

Here's the lonely strings
Playing along in my head
For only just my arms
Are dancing marionettes
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
And she wants to play a game of hearts

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Out Here On My Own
Music by Michael Gore, Lyrics by Lesley Gore

Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
Make-believing is hard alone
Out here, on my own

We're always proving
Who we are
Always reaching
For that rising star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own

When I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears
I dry the tears I've never shown
out here on my own

But when I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
I may not win
But I can't be thrown
Out here on my own
On my own

A song for everyone on PA today:

Why Can't We Be Friends
War

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I seen ya around for a long long time
I really remember you when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I'd seen ya walkin' down in Chinatown
I called ya but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I pay my money to the welfare line
I see ya standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I'd kinda' like to be the president
So I could show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the mafia

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Pretty much where I've been since we went to Oktoberfest (which I've finally accepted is not a good place for me).

American Jesus (Bad Religion)

I don't need to be a global citizen,
'Cause I'm blessed by nationality,
I'm a member of a growing populace,
We enforce our popularity
There are things that seem to pull us under and
There are things that drag us down,
But there's a power and a vital presence
That's lurking all around

We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate,
We've got the American Jesus
He helped build the president's estate

I feel sorry for the earth's population
'Cause so few live in the U.S.A,
At least the foreigners can copy our morality,
They can visit but they cannot stay,
Only precious few can garner our prosperity,
It makes us walk with renewed confidence,
We've got a place to go when we die
And the architect resides right here

We've got the American Jesus
Bolstering national faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day

He's the farmers' barren fields, (In God)
He's the force the army wields, (We trust)
He's the expression on the faces of the starving millions, (Because he's one of us)
The power of the man. (Break down)
He's the fuel that drives the Klan, (Cave in)
He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer (He can redeem your sin)
He's the preacher on TV, (Strong heart)
He's the false sincerity, (Clear mind)
He's the form letter that's written by the big computer, (And infinitely kind)
He's the nuclear bombs, (You lose)
He's the kids with no moms (We win)
And I'm fearful that he's inside ME (He is our champion)

We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
Exercising his authority
We've got the American Jesus
Bolstering National faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day

One nation under God(x10)

(a personal plea)

Ahem. �Maestro, sil vous plais...

Well I'm upper upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest B.A.L.L.S. of all

I've got big B.A.L.L.S.

They're such big B.A.L.L.S.
And they're dirty big B.A.L.L.S.
And he's got big B.A.L.L.S.
And she's got big B.A.L.L.S.
(But we've got the biggest B.A.L.L.S. of them all)

And my B.A.L.L.S. are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great B.A.L.L.S. of fire

I've got big B.A.L.L.S.
Oh I've got big B.A.L.L.S.
And they're such big B.A.L.L.S.
Dirty big B.A.L.L.S.
And he's got big B.A.L.L.S.
And she's got big B.A.L.L.S.
(But we've got the biggest B.A.L.L.S. of them all)

Some B.A.L.L.S. are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the B.A.L.L.S. that I like best
My B.A.L.L.S. are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big B.A.L.L.S.
Should be held every night

We've got big B.A.L.L.S.
We've got big B.A.L.L.S.
We've got big B.A.L.L.S.
Dirty big B.A.L.L.S.
He's got big B.A.L.L.S.
She's got big B.A.L.L.S.
(But we've got the biggest B.A.L.L.S. of them all)

(We've got big B.A.L.L.S.)
(We've got big B.A.L.L.S.)

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish
(But we've got the biggest B.A.L.L.S. of them all)

Between the Lines
Sara Bareilles

Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth with what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
These opposite sides on which we fall
The loving-you-laters if at all
No right minds could be wrong this many times

My memory is cruel
I'm queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only I had been listening

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines

I thought I thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I've learned to listen through silence

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me be
You and me always be

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me i'm almost ready
When he meant let go

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
always be
You and me
Always between the lines

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Wow.

Such A Common Bird
Ane Brun

I am a lone wolf
a beauty and a beast
both hunter and hunted
soft tongue and sharp teeth
I'm toned from my travels
yet raw from this road
as I drink from storm puddles
and the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out
help me figure you in
you're a shadow to me
that I echo when I sing
Help me figure this out
help me figure you in
To this simple little melody

I have seen angels
they were sleeping in gutters
they were standing in bank lines
they were jumping from towers
they were calling like seagulls
but nobody heard
such a beautiful message
from such a common bird

We want freedom for ourselves
but we can't give it to each other
We want peace between nations
yet we battle with our lovers
we�re blinded by billboards
and trying to get ahead
choking on ambition
and the words left unsaid

I am a lone wolf
a beauty and a beast
both hunter and hunted
soft tongue and sharp teeth
I'm toned from my travels
yet raw from this road
as I drink from storm puddles
and the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out
help me figure you in
you're a shadow to me
that I echo when I sing
help me figure this out
help me figure you in

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Man, when this song gets stuck in your head it STAYS stuck! Thank goodness it's an amazingly fun song.

Daft Punk Is Playing At My House
LCD Soundsystem

Daft Punk is playing at my house, my house
I�ll show you the ropes, kid, show you the ropes
Got a bus and a trailer at my house, my house
I�ll show you the ropes kid, show you the ropes
I bought fifteen cases for my house, my house
And all the furniture is in the garage
Well, Daft Punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up

You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set them up, set them up

You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set them up, set them up

[Cow bell solo!]

Well, everybody�s lined up in my house, my house
And Sarah�s girlfriend is working the door
Got everybody�s PA in my house, my house
All the robots descend from the bus
There�s a freakout brewing in my house, my house
In the basement
�Cause Daft Punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up

You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set them up, set them up

You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set �em up, ooh ooh, yeah
You got to set them up, set them up

And never, never let them go
No never, never, never let them go
Never, never, never let them go
Let them go
Downtown

So WHAT if i like Mandy Moore? Back off!

Most of Me

I�m not ready to confront
I�d rather cement my words this way
This could be the easy road out
But I�m just not all that happy
So I�m writing all this down
And I�ll file it in a drawer someday
In lieu of a conversation
We�d probably forget to have anyway

I won�t hold anything back
And I won�t hold anything in
Feel like I know where this is going
And I might know how it ends
But I�m still
Willing to begin

You should know my story by now
And why I�m optimistic cautiously
I understand it�s not your fault
But I�m not takin� anything back
You still end up with
Most of me

I expect you to fly from NY to LA
And land on my doorstep
And smile at me and say
It was worth it to see most of me
Do you love most of me?

You�re just crossing paths
With the way he left me
I�m not sayin� a word
But I�m watching you quietly
You�re gonna have to prove me wrong
Before I know this is right
We don�t have to decide tonight
Just wait for me patiently
And you�ll get all of me

You should know my story by now
And why I�m optimistic cautiously
I understand it�s not your fault
But I�m not takin� anything back
You still end up with
Most of me

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Okay, I have had part of this song stuck in my head ever since some time last night.
From Iolanthe by Gilbert and Sullivan:

When all night long a chap remains
On sentry-go, to chase monotony
He exercises of his brains,
That is, assuming that he�s got any.
Though never nurtured in the lap
Of luxury, yet I admonish you,
I am an intellectual chap,
And think of things that would astonish you.
I often think it�s comical � Fal, lal, la!
How Nature always does contrive � Fal, lal, la!
That every boy and every gal
That�s born into the world alive
Is either a little Liberal
Or else a little Conservative!
Fal, lal, la!

When in that House M.P.�s divide,
If they�ve a brain and cerebellum, too,
They�ve got to leave that brain outside,
And vote just as their leaders tell �em to.
But then the prospect of a lot
Of dull M. P.�s in close proximity,
All thinking for themselves, is what
No man can face with equanimity.
Then let�s rejoice with loud Fal la � Fal la la!
That Nature always does contrive � Fal lal la!
That every boy and every gal
That�s born into the world alive
Is either a little Liberal
Or else a little Conservative!
Fal lal la!

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

I was a good kid, I wouldn't do you no harm, I was a nice kid, With a nice paper
round
Forgive me any pain, I may have brung to ya, With God's help I know, I'll
always be near to ya

But Jesus hurt me, When he deserted me, but, I have forgiven you Jesus
For all the desire, You placed in me when there's nothing I can do with this desire

I was a good kid, Through hail and snow, I'd go just to moon you, I carried my heart in my hand
Do you understand, Do you understand

But Jesus hurt me, When he deserted me, but, I have forgiven you Jesus
For all of the love, You placed in me when there's no one I can turn to with
this love

Monday - humiliation, Tuesday - suffocation, Wednesday - condescension, Thursday
- is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me, By Friday life has killed me, Oh pretty one, Oh pretty one

Why did you give me so much desire, when there is nowhere I can go to offload this desire?
And why did you give me so much love in a loveless world, when there's no one I can turn to to unlock all this love?
And why did you stick me in self deprecating bones and skin?, Jesus do you hate me?
Why did you stick me in self deprecating bones and skin?
Do you hate me?, Do you hate me? Do you hate me? Do you hate me? Do you hate me?

New Song
Pete Townsend

You need a new song
I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
Don't take me too long
But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old

My fingers kill me as I play my guitar
'Cause I've been chewing down at my nails
My hairline ain't exactly superstar
But there's one thing that never fails
This never fails

I write the same old song with a few new lines
And everybody wants to cheer it
I write the same old song you heard a good few times
Admit you really want to hear it

Whenever I see you
You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man
Just 'cause I please you
You explain, but you don't think I can understand

My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen
'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul
Nothing really ever changes my friend
New lamps for old
New lamps for old

We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car
You can look but you won't ever drive it
We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar
We get hung over, but we always survive it

Turn on the radio
Love is proclaimed
Again and again and again
Join in and sing
Now, don't be ashamed
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain

We hum the same old lines to a different crowd
And everybody wants to cheer it
We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud
But we never ever seem to get near it

We sing the same old song

Mr. W. Card from Clearfield, Utah phoned in this request, and would like to dedicate it to Bobbie Coray...

Insanity
Oingo Boingo

I'm so sorry, please forgive me
Who do I pray to to straighten out this problem?
Straighten out this problem, straighten out my mind.
Straighten out this crooked toungue...
My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow.
My mind has wandered from the flock you see.
My mind has wandered, the man just said so.
My mind has wandered, I heard it on TV.
And the flock has wandered away from me.
-CHORUS-
All around the world now
Like a big bright cherry cloud
Traveling from home to home
TV sets and telephones
Here it comes just like a storm
Bathe in it and be reborn
Time to let the world know
Welcome madness, say hello
Like a wave we cannot see
Washing over you and me
Hiding here and hiding there
Madness hiding everywhere
Such a curiosity
Here it comes to set us free
Plenty left for you and me
Say hello insanity
I am the virus, are you the cure?
I am morally, I'm morally impure
I am a disease and I am unclean
I am not part of God's well oiled machine
Christian nation, assimilate me
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the streeet
Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
The man just told me, he told me on TV
Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me
And the alchoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evanglical glee
Sipping down his gin and tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sex, and the wages of sin
While he mental fondles his next of kin
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me
Let's imitate reality
Let's strive for mediocrity
Let's make believe we're all the same
Let's sanitize our little brains
I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
Christian sons, christian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfection, perfection is my goal
Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me
Christian nation, make us alright
Put us through the filter and make us pure and white
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
Let's talk of family falues while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're on the top ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle
(chorus)
I'd love to take you home with me, I'd love to tuck you in
I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
I'd love to hear you scream tonight, I'd love to hear you cry
Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky
(chorus)
I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
On Sundays I would pray for you so it would never stop
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take your hand in mine
I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
I'd love to mess your pretty hair, I'd love to see you dead.

White Lies
Paolo Nutini

there's a heart
on the line
and it rests with your eyes
please don't fade
and please don't cry
'cause it's all white lies

take a chance
watch it fall
grab too much and lose it all
now i've lost my disguise
it was all white lies

stay here, lie with me here
oh lo-fi lonely sighs
I will roam
lost but never alone
hide with me
hide

would it help if I tried
or has it sailed
and passed me by
first love grows then it dies
and it's all white lies

stay here, lie with me here
oh lo-fi lonely sighs
I will roam
lost but never alone
hide with me
hide with me

now you move with the tide
and i've heard you've found
peace of mind
and i know that life's design
moves around white lies

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

For Mr. A. Wink

Birdhouse In Your Soul
They Might Be Giants

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(and while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Butterfly on a Wheel (The Mission UK)

Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone
'Cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns
Your heart to stone

The heat of your breath carving shadows on the mist
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed

A broken dream haunting in your sleep
And hiding in your smile a secret you must keep
Love cuts you deep

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as God made wine, you can't wrap your arms
Around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold Autumn winds cut sharp as a knife
And in the dark for me, you're the candle flame that
Flickers to life

Love breaks the wings of a butterlfy on a wheel
Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Wise men say all is fair in love and war
There's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn crushed like the flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings

Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

After a storm there must be a calm.
They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Poor me, the Israelite.
I wonder who I'm working for.
Poor me, Israelite,
I look a-down and out, sir.

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

...yeah, i think i DO want to post it

Wait

Under a blackened sky
far beyond the glaring streetlights
sleeping on empty dreams
the vultures lie in wait
You lay down beside me then
you were with me every waking hour
so close I could feel your breath

When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the new born hope unjaded by their years

Pressed up against the glass
I found myself wanting sympathy
but to be consumed again
oh I know would be the death of me
and there is a love that's inherently given
a kind of blindness offered to appease
and in that light of forbidden joy
oh I know I won't receive it

When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the newborn hope unjaded by their years

You know if I leave you now
it doesn't mean that I love you any less
it's just the state I'm in
I can't be good to anyone else like this

When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the new born hope unjaded by their years...

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande

Well, he started with a bank in Colorado
In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid
And his age and his size
Took the teller by surprise
And the word spread of Billy the Kid

Well, he never traveled heavy
Yes, he always rode alone
And he soon put many older guns to shame
And he never had a sweetheart
And he never had a home
But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name

Well, he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma
And the law just could not seem to track him down
And it served his legend well
For the folks, they'd love to tell
'Bout when Billy the Kid came to town

Well, one cold day a posse captured Billy
And the judge said, "String 'im up for what he did!"
And the cowboys and their kin
Like the sea came pourin' in
To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid

Well, he never traveled heavy
Yes, he always rode alone
And he soon put many older guns to shame
And he never had a sweetheart
But he finally found a home
Underneath the boothill grave that bears his name

From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island
Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande

It's The Little Things
Robert Earl Keen

It's the way you stroke my hair while I am sleepin'
It's the way you tell me things I don't know
It's the way you remember I came home late for dinner
Eleven months and fourteen days ago

It's the little things the little bitty things
Like the way that you remind me I've been growin soft
It's the little things the itty bitty things
It's the little things
That piss me off

It's the note that you leave on the breakfast table
With a list of things to help me plan my day
It's the way you say we could have If you'd done the things you should have
It's the little things Darlin that make me feel this way

It's the little things the little bitty things
like the way that you remind me I've been growin soft
It's the little things the itty bitty things
It's the little things
That piss me off

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Ah, Missy...I'm rediscovering you all over again this week. Missy Higgins, ladies and gents. She was very important to me back 2006.

"They Weren't There"

You breathed infinity into my world
And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
Then you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind,
We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him" but oh,
Now my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong...

But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of
Any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand
And led through fields of naked land
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
So I couldn't say "no".

You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could've past for all I knew.
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say,
I wouldn't say "no". But they all said, "you're too young to even know,
Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
But oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong...

But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...

But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
So I couldn't say "no".

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

oh, baby...

Faithfully

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Aint no place to start a family
Right down the line
Its been you and me
And lovin a music man
Aint always what its supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
Im forever yours...faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart aint easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
Im forever yours...faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?

The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on
The story is old - I KNOW

Oh, GOES ON

She'd given everything she could give
Twenty years of kindness made her sad
Kindness never made enough to live
So she sold the very last thing that she had

As she held her hand out to him
As he drove around the block
He mouthed through the window 'just hold on'
'I've held on many years now and I haven't found a lot'
Hold on, hold on to what?

So hold on to what? Hold on to what?
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
So hold on! Hold on to what?

Many years of service with a smile
Up shit creek and down the Rhine
Gibraltar Rock and now the Emerald Isle
He'd shined every shoe that he could shine

And as he lay in his own blood
Screaming 'I've been shot'
He heard the Major whisper 'just hold on'
'I've held on all these years now, now what medal have I got?'
Hold on, hold on to what?

So hold on to what? Hold on to what?
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
So hold on! Hold on to what?

So hold on to what? Hold on to what?
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
So hold on! Hold on to what?

Sixty years and he's looking his worst
Sitting in the park where she'd died
Running hands through his final hair
These are the words that he cried

To achieve the American dream
You need a trampoline
To achieve the counter effect
Get that whisky down your neck'
And hold on, hold on to what?

Chamberlain had his paper
Jesus had his cross
They held on
We held on to what?

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

Come now, come and mourn me
It's so easy
Now I'm gone
My old bones are growing new bones
All the moments
That you send

I say that I don't need you
Don't come and tell you
What I should
And I'll break all our babies
Before they happen
Before they would

Do not fret 'cause I won't come back
I know my place
And it's not here
Come now, come and mourn me

Near To You
A Fine Frenzy

He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
'Cause I knew he'd never love me back

Such pain as this
Shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss,
Still a little bit delirious

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

You and I have something different
And I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be

He's disappearing
Fading suddelly
I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me
Please

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I belong
Where you are

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
Though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

Yet, I'm better near to you.

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Well, I'm just about out of here for the day, and I won't be online tomorrow, so, in honor of Thanksgiving, I proudly give you:

Alice's Restaurant
By Arlo Guthrie

This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's
Restaurant.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on
Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the
restaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the
church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and
Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of
room downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room,
seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn't
have to take out their garbage for a long time.

We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd be
a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So
we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW
microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed
on toward the city dump.

Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the
dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a dump
closed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes we drove off
into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.

We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the
side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of the
cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pile
is better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up we
decided to throw our's down.

That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving
dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the
next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,
we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
under that garbage."

After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone we
finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down
and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the
police officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with the
shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the
police officer's station.

Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at
the police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal for
being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, and
we didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us out
and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again,
which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was
both immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think I
can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid.
Get in the back of the patrol car."

And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the
quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town of
Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stop
signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the
Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,
being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to
get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of
cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
mention the aerial photography.

After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was going to put
us in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your
wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my
wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you
want my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." I
said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"
Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out the
toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took
out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll the
toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obie
was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice
(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), Alice came by and with a few
nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back
to the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat,
and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back
of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he
sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the
twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And
we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but thats not
what I came to tell you about.

Came to talk about the draft.

They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,
where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,
neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination one
day, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so
I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. `Cause I wanted to
look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wanted
to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York,
and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all
kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gave
me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604."

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I
wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and
guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,
KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and
he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down
yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,
sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

Didn't feel too good about it.

Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections,
detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me
at the thing there, and I was there for two hours, three hours, four
hours, I was there for a long time going through all kinds of mean nasty
ugly things and I was just having a tough time there, and they was
inspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving no
part untouched. Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see the
last man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big thing there,
and I walked up and said, "What do you want?" He said, "Kid, we only got
one question. Have you ever been arrested?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre,
with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and all
the phenome... - and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you ever
go to court?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on
the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I want
you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... NOW kid!!"

And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's
where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after
committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest
father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly
'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the
bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of
things, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it
up and said.

"Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-
know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-
you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-
officer's-name-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked for
forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we had
fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there,
and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it
down there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down the
pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the
other side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on
the other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the
following words:

("KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?")

I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to
ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm
sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women,
kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and
said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints
off to Washington."

And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
sing it when it does. Here it comes.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud.
I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it
for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part
harmony and feeling.

We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.

All right now.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

Da da da da da da da dum
At Alice's Restaurant

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Joey, baby - don't get crazy
Detours. Fences... I get defensive
I know you've heard it all before -
so I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
fight your secret war.
And though I used to wonder why -
I used to cry till I was dry.
Still sometimes I get a strange pain
inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I.

Joey, honey - I got the money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen
And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you,
well I guess you scared me too.
But we got lucky once before
And I don't wanna close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
passed out on the floor.
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore.

and if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
and when you said I scared you,
well I guess you scared me too.
Well if its love you're looking for
Then i can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
passed out on the floor.
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore.

Angry anymore..
Angry anymore..

This is the song that knocked the damn Kristin Chenoweth song out of my head, AND HOW. So good. I am sad I don't like most of Vanessa Carlton's stuff, because when she hits it right, she really does it for me.

Put Your Hands on Me
Vanessa Carlton

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart, and it will never change
This temp work would be all right if you'd call me
you'd call me
I lie awake at night for you and I pray

We cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me,
just put your hands on me

The subway radiates with heat
We've barely met, and still,
I cross the street
To your door

We cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me,
just put your hands on me

We cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me,
just put your hands on me

Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendants are all growing old
A thousand years we'll be singing

We climb Tibetan mountains, where we can barely breathe
I see the Dalai Lama, I feel him blessing me
and all the constellations, shine down for us to see
and if you don't believe me, just put your hands on me

I first saw you at the video exchange

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Fascinating new thing
you delight me
and I know you're speaking of me
Fascinating new thing
get beside me,
I want you to love me

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
that you're lovely and you're perfect
and that somebody wants you

Fascinating new thing
you seem naked
on a temporary circuit

Fascinating new thing
don't betray them
by becoming familiar

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
that you're lovely and you're perfect
and that somebody wants you

I'm suprised that you've never been told before
that you're priceless
yeah, you're precious
even when you are not new

La, la, la...

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
that you're lovely
and you're perfect
and that somebody wants you
that you're priceless
yeah you're holy

Even when you are not new

Alright

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

Muskrat, Muskrat, candle light
Doin' the town and doin' it right in the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug at a Muskrat Land
And they shimmy, Sam is so skinny

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle
Float like the heavens above
Looks like Muskrat Love

Nibblin' on bacon
Chewin' on cheese
Sam says to Suzie
Honey, would you please be my Mrs
Suzie says, yes, with her kisses
Now, he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle
Now anything goes as they wriggle
Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle
Floatin' like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love

I came across Kristin Chenoweth's cover of this while I was searching for various songs of hers, and I couldn't help it-- I sat there totally stunned and then proceeded to bawl my eyes out. I remember hearing this song when I was small and wondering what it must be like to feel that way, and thinking it must be so sad. And now I know. It's such a strange, heartbreaking sort of thing. This betrays my country background hardcore, but I think a beautiful song is a beautiful song. I can't stop listening to the Kristin version today.

The Song Remembers When
Trisha Yearwood

I was standing at the counter
I was waiting for the change
When I heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when

We were rolling through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when

I guess something must have happened
And we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though I can't recall just why
The song remembers when

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned
Still I guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten

The song remembers when
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Now, with me, age don't make much difference.

but if it did...

Older Woman

Now I'm known as Dapper Dan, the lady killer man,
And those that I don't kill I wound a bit.
I run a fancy car, I call it the Mayflower,
On account of all the Puritans that've come across in it.
Now I took 20-year-old Pam up to the wood near Boulder Dam,
Stopped the car and thought that she'd know what to do.
I said, "Get in the back now, Pam," she said, "What the heck do you think I am?"
I wanna stay in the front seat here with you."

[chorus]

Oh, give me an older woman every time, every time,
Give me an older woman every time.
They don't yell, and they don't tell, and oh, they're grateful as hell,
So give me an older woman every time.

Now the day that my Uncle Joe married my Aunt Flo,
He was forty-four and she was sixty-nine,
That night as I lay on my bed, I heard every word they said,
I couldn't help it, 'cause their room was next to mine.
He said, "How about it, dear," she pretended not to hear,
He begged and pleaded 'til his voice was hoarse and deep,
He said, "Oh how about it, Flo," she said, "How about what, Joe,"
He said, "How about packin' this in and the pair of us gettin' some sleep."

[chorus]

Now last year I divorced Maureen, she was just nineteen,
The day that she became my bony bride.
She was as cold as charity, just as frigid as could be,
When she opened her mouth a little light came on inside.
Now last week I met her at a party, I was feelin' kinda gay kinda hearty,
And several whiskeys had sharpened up my wit.
I said, "How about a bit of whoppee," she said, "Over my dead body,"
I said, "Maureen, gal, you haven't changed a bit."

[chorus]

Now when I was just a boy I took a little gal called Joy,
Down to the meadow where we laid down by a hedge.
I said, "Do you know, my pretty little squaw, what your lovely lips are for?"
She said, "To stop my mouth from fraying 'round the edge."
Now I tell you my wife's fifty-three, but you know she still suits me,
Though of late her hearing ain't so hot,
But at night as we lay on our bed, I put my lips close to her head,
And I say, "Well are you going to sleep or what?" and she says, "What?"

Oh, give me an older woman every time, every time,
Give me an older woman every time.
They don't yell, and they don't tell, and oh, they're grateful as hell,
So give me an older woman,
A real hot-blooded woman,
A ripe 'n' peachy woman,
Give me an older woman every time.

I Don't Like It Like This
The Radio Dept.

words fail me all the time
I don�t even feel like talking
still I go on and on
I�m dying here and you keep walking

why are you asking me this?
can�t you see I�m trying?
I don�t like it like this
no I think I�m dying

I can�t calm down at all
panic is what panic feels like
can�t we just stay silent?
speaking now seems far too violent

why are you asking me this?
can�t you see I�m trying?
I don�t like it like this
no I think I�m dying

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I'll Fly Away
Albert E. Brumley

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Fold his hands, you smooth his tie, you gently lift his chin.
Were you really so blind, and unkind to him?
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss, to hold him once again.
Now to close his eyes--never open them....

A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning,
For the fool it called a home.

All things he never did are left behind.
All the things his mama wished he'd bear in mind,
And all his dad had hoped he'd know.

The talks you never had, the saturdays you never spent.
All the 'grown-up' places you never went.
And all of the crying you wouldn't understand.
You just let him cry, 'make a man out of him.'

A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning
For a fool it called a home.

All things he ever wished are left behind.
All the things his mama did to make him mind,
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow.

All things he ever lived are left behind.
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind.
All the sadness that he'd come to know.

A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning
For a fool it called a home.

And it whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
Whistles through the ghosts still left behind.

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

I Don't Want To Be Me
Amanda Clemens

I'm not feeling so bold
Can't you see I don't wanna grow old?
And my photograph's an epitaph of parody
I don't wanna be me

I'm not feeling so sure
It would help if you offered a cure
If I wait, it's too late for the remedy
I don't wanna be me

You won't save me
'Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So, don't blame me
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run

I'm not feeling so well
Maybe we could just sit for a spell?
And make amends, it depends on my injury
I don't wanna be me, I don't wanna be me
I don't wanna be me

You won't save me
'Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So, don't blame me
If I decide to just run

You won't save me
'Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So, don't blame me
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run

If I decide to go hide or instead to just run...
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I thought a heartwarming Christmas song would be appropriate today. But I'll post this instead....

Father Christmas
The Kinks

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or Monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a Merry Merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While youre drinkin' down your wine

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

I had this turned up loud and had my earbuds in while I was writing-- I got stuck writing, and so and I started kind of shaking my head and playing air guitar, just trying to ease myself up. My brother came in the room and I didn't realize it until he started laughing at me, and then he wanted to hear it. He says I play air guitar to weird songs.

Whatever. I LOVE THIS SONG, OKAY.

King of Pain
Sting/The Police (and Alanis Morrisette, in my version--MTV Unplugged)

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That`s my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That`s my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb
(That`s my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That`s my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain

Queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

For some reason I really like this song.

Homecoming
Kanye West w/ Chris Martin

[Intro - Kanye West]
Yeah.
And you say Chi city,
Chi city, Chi city

[Hook - Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I�m coming home again
Comin home again.

[Verse One - Kanye West]
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don�t know me, but
My name is Wendy and, I like to blow trees and,
From that point I never blow her off
Niggaz come from outta town I like to show her off
They like to act tough, she like to tow em off
And make em straighten up they (act/hat), cause she know they soft
And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
And at night time my face lit up, so astounding
I told her in my heart is where she always be
She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave
She said it felt like they walked and drove on me
Knew I was gang affiliated, got on TV and told on me
I guess that�s why last winter she got so cold on me
She said, 'Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me

[Hook x2]
Maybe we can start again

[Verse 2 - Kanye West]
But if you really care for her
Then you would have never hit the airport to follow your dream
Sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her
It always seems like she talking about me
She said you left your kids and they just like you
They wanna rap and make soul beats just like you
But they just not you, and I just got through
Talking bout what niggaz tryin' to do, just not new
Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong
I guess you never know what you got till its gone
I guess this is why I�m here and I can't come back home
And guess when I heard that? When I was back home
Every interview I�m representing you making you proud
Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud
Jump in the crowd, spark your lighters, wave 'em around,
And if you don�t know by now, I�m talking about Chi town,

[Hook]

Babe, do you remember when?
Fireworks at Lake Michigan
Oooh, now I�m coming home again
Comin home again
Baby, do you remember when?
Fireworks at Lake Michigan
Oooh, now I�m coming home again
Maybe we can start again

[Chris Martin]
Comin home again
Maybe we can start again

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Wondering Where The Lions Are
Bruce Cockburn

Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as frightening as they were before
But I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You be in me and I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

And I'm wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...

Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun,
Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun
(Should be!) they got me thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

And I'm wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...

Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days we're going to sail away,
Going to sail into eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

And I'm wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...

Nothings gone the way I'd planned
My life has taken turns I don't begin to understand
I hear the drum
My time is come
The play's about to start
But I can't recall my part
Is the mask I'm wearing
Comical
or tragic?

Something precious has been lost
I find I'm going over all the bridges I have crossed
Yet strange to say
As dark and grey
And hopeless as it seems
I am not without my dreams
Though it sounds naive
I still believe
in magic.

Why is it too late
for falling in love
Isn't there some chance
For finding romance
With someone young and sweet
Someone I have yet to meet
There's a voice inside my head that keeps repeating
It's not too late!
It's not too late!

Lately I've been taking stock
I find I'm growing weary of the ticking of the clock
The years have passed
And I've amassed
My share of souvenirs
Yet each day
the dawn appears
And this hope within me
just continues growing

Why is it too late
for falling in love
Isn't there some chance
For finding romance
With someone young and sweet
Someone I have yet to meet
There's a voice inside my head that keeps repeating
It's not too late!
It's not too late!

There's no reason not to try
Don't ever give up hoping and your dreams will never die
There's still a chance
to find romance
with someone young and sweet
Someone you have yet to meet
Just as long as there's a heart within you beating!

It's not too late.
It's
Not
too late.

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

I finally stopped and heard the words to this song that has been playing nonstop for a few weeks:

"Won't Go Home Without You"
Maroon 5

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say
Oh
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of her breath, I'll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake
Oh
The weight of things that remain unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Snoopy's Christmas

The news it came out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied Command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again

Was the night before Christmas and forty below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron and fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings, Snoopy knew he was caught

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man

The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man

The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out "Merry Christmas, mein friend!"

The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy our hero saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns had been pounding all through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once laid
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

And if I have built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

John,
I'm sorry I missed your annivesary, but I'm not sure you'd have wanted it remembered anyway, at least not like that. Anyway, I don't know that I understand you, but I appreciate you now more than ever before.

May I borrow this song?

Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean.

Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
John Lennon

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

R.I.P. Dan Fogelberg (1951-2007)

Along The Road
Dan Fogelberg

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Along the road your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Darkness obscures the trail

Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forbode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road
Along the road your steps may stumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

I could not tell you how this song got on my iPod, but I am giggling so hard over it and I AM IN LOVE because it is the perfect twangy country song. It is no lie. It is so awesome that I can't even handle it.

Hillbilly Highway
Steve Earl

My grandaddy was a miner, but he finally saw the light
He didn't have much, just a beat-up truck and a dream about a better life
Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye, never heard such a lonesome sound
Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop, Detroit City bound
Down that hillbilly highway
That hillbilly highway
Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on

He worked and saved his money so that one day he might send
My old man off to college, to use his brains and not his hands
Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye, never heard such a lonesome sound
But daddy had himself a good job in Houston, one more rollin' down

Down that hillbilly highway
That hillbilly highway
Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on

Grandaddy rolled over in his grave the day that I quit school
I just sat around the house playin' my guitar, Daddy said I was a fool
My mama cried when I said goodbye, I never heard such a lonesome sound
Now I'm standin' on this highway and if you're going my way
You know where I'm bound

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

You pick it out
He picks you up
He drives it out
They wander back

The shelf is home
but not for now
Alive and well
but not for long

Running out of options
Gath'ring up the censures
Purest form of tortures
Wrenching out the goodbyes
Ceasing all the cogs and wheels and all

He puts you down
You let him go
He doesn't say
You take the slack

The shelf is home
On its way to here
Much is lost on purpose
The dirge your only song

Missing the connections
Tearing off the permits
Purest form of tortures
Holding in, but barely
Tenderness abandoned now you've failed

He doesn't ask
You wouldn't dare
The shelf is home
Bare and black

The shelf is home
Bare
The shelf is home
Black

Usable and all used up
And worn and pale
To feel the shock
It's all been wrong

The shelf is home
Bare
The shelf is home
Black
and you're all wrong

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

The Luckiest
Ben Folds Five

I dont get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if Id been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe Id be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door theres an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

Im sorry, I know thats a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

Gardenia

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know that was the best part
It�s so easy to get caught up in what I�m regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heart

I�m the one who likes Gardenia
I�m the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don�t want to hang up the phone yet
It�s been good
Getting to know me more

I�ve been seeing all my old friends in the city
Walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that I�ve neglected
Traded �em all in
To be in your arms

I�m the one who likes Gardenia
I�m the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don�t want to hang up the phone yet
It�s been good
Getting to know me more

Well, I hear my own voice
Sounds so silly
Keep on telling my story all around
Everything I lost seems so different
Well, this is how everybody gets found

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

High Anxiety
Mel Brooks

High Anxiety -- whenever you're near,
High Anxiety -- it's you that I fear.
My heart's afraid to fly, it's crashed before.
But then you take my hand, and my heart starts to soar
Once more. . . Key change!

High Anxiety -- it's always the same.
High Anxiety -- it's you that I blame.
It's very clear to me, I've got to give in!
High Anxiety --
-- and remember, kids, be good to your folks - they've
been good to you --
-- you win!

I have served a full life sentence as a prisoner of my past,
As a victim of a victim of a victim.
Seems my parents' parents' parents left traps that held me fast,
and they still catch me even when I think I've licked 'em.

Well, I have blamed them,
I have fought them,
but I never understood.
All they really did was did the best they could.

Is there a way to rise above,
If I look at them with love,
Though I look at them full honest in the face?
Can I make my peace at last
With the pieces of my past
And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace?
And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace.

I forgive my poor flawed parents for the things they could not be.
I forgive my valiant lovers for not completing me.
And the hardest thing of all now,
I forgive myself the sin of not being all I planned
And all I thought I should have been.

But there's an alchemy in time,
transforms each grief and loss and scar
Into the precious stuff of who we are.

And there's a way to rise above,
If I look at them with love.
Though I don't deny that harm has taken place.
I can make my peace at last,
With the pieces of my past
And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace

Some call it wisdom, and some just call it grace.
When we make our peace at last
With the pieces of the past
And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace,
And enfold them.
I will enfold them.
Now I enfold them in forgiveness's embrace.

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

Artist: Imogen Heap
Album: Speak For Yourself
Title: Hide And Seek

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah off course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Jim Steinman

I. Paradise

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...

Radio Broadcast:

Okay, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

II. Let Me Sleep On It

Girl:
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further--!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me!?
Will you love me forever!?
Do you need me!?
Will you never leave me!?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me!!!?
Will you love me forever!!!?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Girl:
I gotta know right now!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
And will you love me forever?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever!!!

III. Praying for the End of Time

Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today

Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

And since I'm on that theme:

Mediocre Fred
The Smothers Brothers

There once was a man who was none too good,
And then I'd say he was none too bad.
Times he'd be mighty good for a spell,
Times he'd go out and he'd raise a little hell.

Mediocre Fred,
Mediocre Fred.

Fred went to the movies every Saturday night,
He liked to watch T.V. and the Western fights.
He paid his taxes most every year,
And on a hot summer night, why, he'd drink a little beer.

Exciting Mediocre Fred,
Mediocre, Dull Fred.

Well, the years went by all dull and gray,
And he didn't think much and had little to say.
AND WHEN THE FULL MOON ROSE HE CLIMBED OVER THE MOAT
FOUND SOME PEOPLE SLEEPING AND HE SLIT THEIR THROATS!!!!!

Mediocre Fred,
Mediocre, Dull Fred.

LAUGH, CLOWN, LAUGH !
(Ted Fiorito / Samuel M. Lewis / Joseph Young)

Life is a play and we all play a part
The Lover, the Dreamer, the Clown
The Dreamer and Lover are always in tears
The Clown spreads sunshine around
The life with a smile is the life worthwhile
The Clown till the curtain comes down

Even though you're only make believing
Laugh, Clown, laugh!
Even though something inside is grieving
Laugh, Clown, laugh!
Don't let your heart grow too mellow
Just be a real Punchinello, fellow

You're supposed to brighten up a place
And laugh, Clown, laugh!
Paint a lot of smiles around your face
And laugh, Clown, don't frown
Dressed in your best coloured humour
Be a pallietto and laugh, Clown, laugh!

Okay, it mentions Christmas Eve, but I don't care. I'm still singing this song to myself today.

Footprints
Barenaked Ladies

I followed footprints in the snow,
Never knowing if I was right behind you,
Looking down no one would know,
I wasn't walking hand in hand beside you.

For your footprints lead the way,
To a hearth where hearts we made surround you,
You're awash in all its glow,
And I'm still standing in the snow.

I stood and watched the lights go out,
While the snowflakes settled all around me,
And though it filled my heart with doubt,
Couldn't move and this is where you found me.

As our footprints disappear,
Snow erasing how I came to be here,
I've got nowhere else to go,
Now you're standing in the snow.

Look for understanding in the snow,
You look just outstanding in the snow,
Standing in the snow.

Now it's almost Christmas Eve,
And I'm surrounded with the sound of laughter,
To give is better than to deceive,
For I received a happy ever after.

You might have left me in the cold,
A fitting ending for the fool that I was,
But you'd be cuddled up alone,
And I'd still be standing in the snow.

I make pretty things.

Though she lived alone, apart, hope lay nestling at her heart.

Light in Your Eyes
Blessid Union of Souls

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our "I love you's" were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now too plain to see
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
And I'm free
I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known girl
It was time and not space you would need
Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know
But would you believe

There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me

Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you
Constant reminder of all the things you get used to
Is there a chance in hell or heaven
That there's still something here to build on
Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall
But after all

There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
And a song in the words that you spoke to me
Was I wrong to believe in your melody
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me

Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away
Fading away

It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been
Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong

There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

I CAN GO THE DISTANCE
by Alan Menken & Stephen �Schwartz*

I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a hero's welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while

When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though that road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
A hero's strength is measured by his heart
Ooooooooooooooooooo
( guitar solo )

Like a shooting star
I will go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its heart
I dont care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my heros welcome
Waiting In your arms

I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find mt hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms

*NOT being sung by Ricky Martin

can't get the damn thing out of my CD player. almost 11 days straight.

Even So
by Rachael Yamagata

You're gonna hate me when I tell you everything
You're gonna question whether you really know me at all
You will revisit every smile, and where it fit into the day
I know this is how it will play
And I try, oh I try to think of all the things
That I could do to let you know that I love you

Even so

I was not looking to do you wrong
Was not looking for a change of scenery
Don't remember where, or when, or how I did
But I'm hoping you'll forgive me
And I try, oh I try to think of all the things
That I could do to let you know that I love you

Do you remember how we'd run in the summertime
Do you remember how we'd run in the summertime

Oh I try, I try so very hard
And I cry, I cry so very much
For I love you like you'll never let yourself feel again
I love you like a brother and a friend
I love you with my whole heart until it bends
I love you like a lover until the very end

And I'll always think of all the things you did
To let me know that you love me
But you're leaving

Even so

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

"I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts"
- X

the facts we hate:
we'll never meet
walking down the road
everybody yelling "hurry up, hurry up!"
but i'm waiting for you
i must go slow
i must not think bad thoughts
what is this world coming to?
both sides are right
but both sides murder
i give up
why can't they?

i must not think bad thoughts
i must not think bad thoughts
i must not think bad thoughts

the civil wars
and the uncivilized wars
conflagrations leap out
of every poor furnace
the food cooks poorly
and everyone goes hungry
from then on it's dog eat dog
dog eat body, body eat dog
i can't go down there
i can't understand it
i'm a no-good coward
and an american, too
a north american. that is
(not a south or a central or a native american)
oh i must not think bad thoughts
i'm guilty of murder of innocent men
innocent women, innocent children
thousands of 'em!
my planes! my guns! my money! my soul!
there's blood on my hands...
it's all my fault!

i must not think bad thoughts
i must not think bad thoughts
i must not think bad thoughts

the facts we hate:
you'll never hear us
i hear the radio is finally gonna play "new music"
you know, the "british invasion"?
but what about the minutemen,
fleasheaters, doa
big boys and the black flag?
will the last american bands to get played on the radio
please bring the flag?
please bring the flag!
glitter-disco-synthesizer night school
all this noble savage drum, drum, drum
astronauts go back in time to hang out with the cave people
it's about time
it's about space
it's about some people in the strangest place
woody guthrie sang about b-e-e-t-s
not b-e-a-t-s

i must not think bad thoughts
i must not think bad thoughts
i must not think bad thoughts

the facts we hate:
we'll never meet
walking down the road
everybody yelling "hurry up!
hurry up, hurry up!"
but i'm waiting for you
i must go slow
i must not think bad thoughts
what is this world coming to?
both sides are right
but both sides murder

why can't they?

The Mistress Witch From McClure
by Sufjan Stevens

And the winter moves about Illinois
When my sister picks a fight
With the Alexander boy
And my father locks the car
By the store
Still we figure out the keys
And follow him once more

Oh my God
We see it on the floor
The woman on the bed
The ankle brace she wore
Stones and sled
It could have been some other
The mind that knows itself
Has a mind to serve the other
And we run back
Scratching at the door
Scratching at the door

If I'm hiding in the sleeves
Of my coat
When my father runs undressed
He's pointing at my throat
And my brother has a fit
In the snow
And the traffic stops for miles
We take him by the elbow

Oh my God
The shuffling at the floor
A mind that knows itself
Is a mind that knows much more

So we run back
Scrambling for cover
A mind that knows itself
Has a mind to kill the other

(Oh my God
No one came to our side
To carry us away from danger)

Oh my God
He left us now for dead
He left us now for dead

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

"The Trail Of Time"
- The Delmore Brothers (as covered by The Knitters)

Down the trail of time
there's many sorrows
and a worried mind
can't be at rest

for everything
i've ever wanted
i did not find
but i done my best

i can see the stars
in the wild blue yonder
and i counted one
up in the sky

i've got them named
but when it comes to yours, dear
i remember things
and i start to cry

Down the trail of time
the way is crooked
i've left behind
many pleasures, too

i've also left
my share of sorrows
and that is why
i feel so blue

i remember two
blue eyes that loved me
when a thousand tears
i couldn't forget

now i'm left alone
to face the future
sometimes i wish
we'd never met

This has got to rank right up there with the saddest gol-durned songs I ever done heard. Can you hear the old man, aged and regretful, alone on his porch in a rocking chair, missing his dead wife so much he wishes he'd never met her because he hurts so bad without her? Does it GET any more tear-jerky than that?

The Arizona Killer
(Katie Lee)

I killed a man in Dallas,
And another in Cheyenne
But when I killed the man in Tombstone
I overplayed my hand

I rode all night for Tucson
To rob the Robles Mine
And I left old Arizona
With a posse right behind

I rode across the border
And there it did not fail
The men that was a-follerin' me
They soon did lose my trail; they lost my trail

They galloped back to Tucson
To get the Cavalry
While I stayed on in Mexico
Enjoying liberty; Ayi-ha, enjoyed my liberty

I promised my Rosita
A pretty dress of blue
She said, "You'd go and get it
If you really loved me true; did love me true"

So I went back to the border
Just to get that gal a dress
I killed a man in Guaymas
And two in Nogales; killed two in Nogales

But the posse was a-waitin'
To get me on the trail
Now in Tombstone I'm a layin'
In the Cochise County jail; the Cochise County jail

They-re gonna hang me in the morning
A'fore this night is done
They're gonna hang me in the mornin'
And I'll never see the sun

I want to warn you fellers
And tell you one by one
What makes a gallows rope to swing
A woman and a gun

i loved the movie "once" and since i got the soundrack, i can't get this song out of my head. its some of the best music i have heard in years.

Falling Slowly - by Glen Hansard

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

the other white meat

I was at a private event in Park City yesterday, four feet from Missy Higgins, who I first saw when she opened for Howie Day back in 2005. This song hit me harder than ever. It sucks trying to be swanky cool among the Park City elite when you are crying.

Where I Stood

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
LIttle voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood

Al Otro Lado Del Rio
Jorge Drexler

Clavo mi remo en el agua
llevo tu remo en el m�o.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del r�o.

El d�a le ir� pudiendo
poco a poco al fr�o.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del r�o.

Sobre todo, creo que no todo est� perdido.
Tanta l�grima, tanta l�grima,
y yo soy un vaso vasio

Oigo una voz que me llama,
casi un suspiro:
�Rema, rema, rema!
�Rema, rema, rema!

En esta orilla del mundo
lo que nos es presa es bald�o.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del r�o.

Yo, muy serio, voy remando,
muy adentro y sonr�o.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del r�o.

Sobre todo, creo que
no todo est� perdido.
Tanta l�grima, tanta l�grima, y yo
soy un vaso vac�o...

Oigo una voz que me llama,
casi un suspiro:
�Rema, rema, rema!
�Rema, rema, rema!

Clavo mi remo en el agua
llevo tu remo en el m�o.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del r�o.

this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be

I know you don't love me anymore
you used to hold my hand when the plane took off
two years ago there just seemed so much more
and I don't know what happened to our love

today's the day
our friendship has been stale
and we will meet later to finalise the details
two years ago the seed was planted
and since then you have taken me for granted

but this is the last day of our acquintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already

for I have wings, and I can fly&&

Opening: A New World
Jason Robert Brown

WOMAN 1:
A new world calls across the ocean
A new world calls across the sky
A new world whispers in the shadows
Time to fly, time to fly

MAN 2:
It's about one moment
The moment before it all becomes clear
And in that one moment
You start to believe there's nothing to fear
It's about one second
And just when you're on the verge of success
The sky starts to change
And the wind starts to blow
And you're suddenly a stranger
There's no explaining where you stand
And you didn't know
That you sometimes have to go
�Round an unexpected bend
And the road will end
In a new world

WOMAN 1:
A new world calls for me to follow
A new world waits for my reply
A new world holds me to a promise
Standing by, standing by

WOMAN 2:
It's about one moment
That moment you think you know where you stand
And in that one moment
The things that you're sure of slip from your hand
And you've got one second
To try to be clear, to try to stand tall
But nothing's the same
And the wind starts to blow
And you're suddenly a stranger
In some completely different land
And you thought you knew
But you didn't have a clue
That the surface sometimes cracks
To reveal the tracks
To a new world

MAN 1:
You have a house in the hills

WOMAN 2:
You have a job on the coast

MAN 2:
You find a lover you're sure you believe in

MAN 1:
You've got a pool in the back

WOMAN 2:
You get to the part of your life

MAN 2:
You hold the ring in your hand

MAN 1:
But then the earthquake hits

WOMAN 2:
And the bank closes in

MAN 2:
Then you realize you didn't know anything

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2:
Nobody told you the best way to steer
When the wind starts to blow

MAN 1:
And you're suddenly a stranger

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:
All of a sudden

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2:
You life is different than you planned

MAN 1:
And you'll have to stay �til you somehow find a way

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2:
To be sure of what will be
Then you might be free

WOMAN 1:
A new world crashes down like thunder
A new world charging through the air

WOMAN 1 & MAN 1:
A new world just beyond the mountain

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 1:
Waiting there, waiting there

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2:
A new world shattering the silence
There's a new world I'm afraid to see
A new world louder every moment
Come to me, come to me!

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

The Cask of Amontillado
Alan Parsons Project

By the last breath of the four winds that blow
I'll have revenge upon Fortunato
Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go
I've a cask of Amontillado"

Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault down below
Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly slow

(What are these chains binding my arms)
Part of you dies each passing day
(Say it's a game and I'll come to no harm)
You'll feel your life slipping away

You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to see my point of view
What price the crown of a King on his throne
When you're chained in the dark all alone

(Spare me my life only name your reward)
Part of you dies each brick I lay
(Bring back some light in the name of the Lord)
You'll feel your mind slipping away

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

Heretics
Andrew Bird

Born host to a tongue
So sing a song about it
Held a breath for too long
Till we're half sick about it
Tell us what we did wrong
Then you can blame us for it
Turn the clamp on our thumbs
So we're down about it
And tell us all about it
We're so in doubt about it

How about some credit now
Where credit is due
For the damage that was done
We have wrought upon ourselves and others
With this blow, and vicious gun
And although pratfalls can be fun,
Encores can be fatal

And then I hear you say,
Thank God it's fatal. Thank God it's fatal.
Not shy
Not shy and fatal, not shy and fatal. Thank God.
Thank God it's fatal. Thank God it's fatal.
Not shy
Not shy and fatal, not shy and fatal.

Wait just a second now
It's not all that bad
Are we not having fun?
You make your mountains of handkerchiefs
Where the mascara always runs
So be careful when you're done
You're bound to get post natal
Wait, did I just hear you say...

Thank God it's fatal
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw
And we don't want to hear the signs that your bore
You know the kind of sign you hang on a door
Saying, "We'll be back. We're a crack."

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

KING OF PAIN - Sting

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
That's my soul up there
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
That's my soul up there
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
That's my soul up there
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I always thought you could end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
I'll always be king of pain

Answer - Sarah McLachlan

I will be the answer at the end of the line
I will be there for you why take the time
In the burning of uncertainty, I will be your solid ground
I, I will hold the balance if you can't look down

If it takes my whole life, I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it, worth it in the end
Because I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out you'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a, a place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
And break and choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life, I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it, worth it in the end
Because I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out you'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind

WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME, lyrics by Bono

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

My love for Lifehouse is... it's ridiculous. They have some of the best love songs in the world. This one makes me cry.

Storm
Lifehouse

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be all right
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be all right
and everything will be all right

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be all right
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be all right

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be all right
I know everything is all right
everything's all right

I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here
felt the joy and the fear
finding myself making every possible mistake

I'm a young soul in this very strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate.
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

This is a happy end
'cause you don't understand everything you have done
why's everything so wrong

this is a happy end
come and give me your hand I'll take you far away.

I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world
hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
but since I came here
felt the joy and the fear
finding myself making every possible mistake

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

THE SOUL CAGES, Sting

The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
A shoal of nightstars hang fire in the nets
And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie

Where is the fisherman, where is the goat?
Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?
Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
Where is the child with his father's eyes?

These are the soul cages These are the soul cages

He's the king of the ninth world
The twisted son of the fog bells toll
In each and every lobster cage
A tortured human soul

These are the souls of the broken factories
The subject slaves of the broken crown
The dead accounting of old guilty promises
These are the souls of the broken town

These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages

'I have a wager' the brave child spoke
The fisherman laughed, though disturbed at the joke.
'You will drink what I drink but you must equal me
And if the drink leaves me standing,
A soul shall go free'

'I have here a cask of most magical wine
[The Soul Cages lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
Young white body adrift in the tide'

'And what's in it for me my pretty young thing?
Why should I whistle, when the caged bird sings?
If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'

These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages

A body lies open in the fisherman's yard
Like the side of a ship where the iceberg rips
One less soul in the soul cages
One last curse on the fisherman's lips

These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages

Swim to the light
Swim to the light

He dreamed of the ship on the sea
It would carry his father and he
To a place they could never be found
To a place far away from this town
A Newcastle ship without coals
They would sail to the island of souls

Hell.

Gardenia
Mandy Moore

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know that was the best part
It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heart

I'm the one who likes gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more

I've been seeing all my old friends in the city
Walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that I've neglected
Traded them all in
To be in your arms

I'm the one who likes gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more

Well, I hear my own voice
It sounds so silly
I keep on telling my story all around
Everything I lost seems so different
Well, this is how everybody gets found

I'm the one who likes gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

SLOW ME DOWN- EMMY ROSSUM

rushing and racing and running in circles
moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
getting nowhere

my head and my heart are colliding chaotic
pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart

save me
somebody take my hand and lead me
slow me down
don't let love pass me by
just show me how
cause I'm ready to fall

slow me down
don't let me live a lie
before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

sometimes I fear that I might disappear
in the blur of fast forward I falter again
forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere

all that I've missed I see in the reflection
pass me while I wasn't paying attention
tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart

tell me
oh won't you take my hand and lead me
slow me down
don't let love pass me by
just show me how
cause I'm ready to fall

slow me down
don't let me live a lie
before my life flies by
i need you to slow me down

just show me
i need you to slow me down
slow me down
slow me down

the noise of the world is getting me caught up
chasing the clock and i wish i could stop it
just need to breathe
somebody please
slow me down

Reason Why
by Rachael Yamagata

I think about how it might have been
We'd spend out days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang out heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radios, and
I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I come to you
It's not the same

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
As say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show, and do your best
To cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find
Whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind,
But you only showed me the door

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
And say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I, you and I know the reason why

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

I am so in love with this artist right now.

Artist: Kate Voegele
Album: Don't Look Away
Title: Kindly Unspoken

As high as the moon
So high were my spirits
When you sang out my name

And coming from you
It was enough just to hear it
Oh, it rang like the bells did today

But even the sturdiest ground
Can shift and can tremble and let us fall down

Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It's lucky I'm clever
If I didn't know better
I'd believe only that which I'd heard

In the days of my folly
I followed your lead
Did what Simon Said to do

But I won't let melancholy
Play me for a fool
Oh, no I'm on my way somewhere new

And as far as your lack of something to say
Well, to tell me goodbye there was no better way

Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It's lucky I'm clever
If I didn't know better
I'd believe only that which I'd heard

So don't keep me up till the dawn
With words that'll keep leading me on
I know much better than to wait for an answer from you

Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It's lucky I'm clever
If I didn't know better
I'd believe only that which I'd heard

Artist: Kate Voegele
Album: Don't Look Away
Title: One Way or Another

I can tell by the way you been yelling her name that it's more than a friendly game
With a smile and that I'm-gonna-fight-to-the-death expression in her eye

You think I'm so dramatic, just imagining again
You come to her defense, insisting that she's innocent

Well excuse me for wanting to be the one and only lock to fit your key
You believe there's nothing up her sleeve, but baby just wait and see

You say that love is blind, well I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind, she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?
I'll be gone one way or another

Take a minute to see it from my side of things; don't you think you
would feel the same?
Like you still gotta play for the victory in a game you won yesterday

I shouldn't have to fight for something that's already mine
But her pursuit of you has undermined my peace of mind

But it's no use crying to you, you're who her plan has done the damage to
What's done is done, I should just hold my tongue- but someone has got me outdone

You say that love is blind, well I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind, she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?
I'll be gone one way or another

You're going under
And baby its no wonder
She's stepping up her game
Making you a prisoner of her hall of fame
Looking for a winner for her trophy case
You need to consider what you think you deserve
Is that all that you're worth? No, no, no, no, no

You say that love is blind, well I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind, she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?
I'll be gone one way or another

Oh...how I *heart* the U2. This hit me on the way home this morning, so very 2003 for me, yet still applicable in so many different ways. Love this song!

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left in a beach
Well, you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends?

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close

Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back
Come on now love, don't you look back!

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"

To my new friend.
Human Touch
Bruce Springsteen

You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don't surrender
Well the world just strips away

Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darlin'
But I got a deal for you right here

I ain't lookin' for praise or pity
I ain't comin' 'round searchin' for a crush
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that Human Touch
Just a little of that Human Touch

Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain't no bread from heavenly skies
Ain't nobody drawin' wine from this blood
It's just you and me tonight

Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askin's too much
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that Human Touch
Just a little of that Human Touch

Oh girl that feeling of safety you prize
Well it comes at a hard hard price
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losin' the love that remains
We're all riders on this train

So you've been broken and you've been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah, I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But, hell, a little touchup
and a little paint...

You might need somethin' to hold on to
When all the answers, they don't amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that Human Touch

Baby, in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askin's too much
I just want to feel you in my arms
Share a little of that Human Touch
Share a little of that Human Touch
Feel a little of that Human Touch

BAD
by U2

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

To let it go! And so to fade away
To let it go!
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flack
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desparation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation

Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah
And so fade away
To let it go, oh No
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping oh no no

Not the Doctor
Alanis Morissette

I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don't want to be the bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I don't want to be to be your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
I don't want to be you mother
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door

(chorus)
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at half past six
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see its too much to ask for and I'm not the doctor

I don't want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon
I don't want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge
On your face at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window

(repeat chorus)

I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart
And its wounded beat
I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for

(repeat chorus)

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

The Immigrant Song
Led Zepplin

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now youd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

Pinball Wizard
(Elton John cover)
Pete Townshend

Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall,
That deaf, dumb and blind kid,
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He's a pinball wizard,
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it?
I don't know
What makes him so good?

He ain't got no distractions,
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a-flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay
Never tilts atall...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He can't beat me now
I've always been the champ
I know every trick
No freak's gonna beat my hand

Even at my usual table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
An' he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
I've never seen him fall...
That deaf dumb and blind kid,
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He's a pinball wizard,
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

He's a pinball wizard
He scores a trillion more
A pinball wizard
The worlds new pinball lord
He's scoring more
He's scoring more!

I thought I was
The Bally Table king
But I just handed my Pinball crown to him!
to him,
to hi-i-i-m

Trust in Me

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around

Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me

(Happy Birthday to my Wildcat, who always bops me in the nose before I can get to the second stanza.)

This song has been making me dance since last Thursday. It brings me joy down to my toes, and completely describes it. *sigh*

The Hat
by Ingrid Michaelson

I knitted you a hat all blue and gold
To keep your ears warm from the Binghamton cold.
It was my first one and it was too small.
It didn't fit you at all, but you wore it just the same.

I remember the first time we danced.
I remember tunneling through the snow like ants.
What I don't recall is why I said,
"I simply can't sleep in this tiny bed with you anymore.".

I should tell you that you were my first love.

So it's Christmas time, it's been three years.
And someone else is knitting things for your ears.

I have come to learn I'll only see you interrupting my dreams at night
And that's alright. And that's alright. And that's alright. And that's alright.

I should tell you that you were my first love.

And it's alright. And it's alright. And it's alright.

(And it's alright.) We were seventeen again together.
(And it's alright.) We were seventeen again together.
(And it's alright.) We were seventeen again together.

I should tell you that you were my first love.
I should tell you that you were my first love.

We were seventeen again.
We were seventeen again.
We were seventeen again.

*breathe*

Keep Breathing

The storm is coming but I don't mind.
People are dying, I close my blinds.

All that i know is I'm breathing now.

I want to change the world...instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.

But all that I know is I'm breathing.
All i can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

Empty Glass
Pete Townshend

Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But opportunity's now in my hands

I stand with my guitar
All I need's a mirror
Then I'm a Star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me . . . what a thrill for you

I've been there and gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there

I've had enough of the way things have been done
Every man on a razers edge
Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
Killing each other by driving a wedge

My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

Don't worry smile and dance
You just can't work life out
Don't let down moods entrance you
Take the wine and shout

My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

I Love P.A.!

PIANO MAN - BILLY JOEL

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while

And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man what are you doing here?"

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

You Won't See Me
Daughter Darling

All the worlds that I turn towards
Won't look me in the eye
Somethings hiding from the truth that ever was
And slipping into a lie

I won't be the one to stay
I'll run into a brand new day
And I'll leave before the sky is grey
And you won't see me no you won't see me again

Keep hiding your shameful face
Blushed in the guilt of what you did
Know I will put you in your place
This lie I refuse to live

And I'll become so brave
I'll walk into a brand new day
And I'll leave before your sky is grey
No you won't see me oh you won't see me again
No suffering no you wont see me again

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I Love P.A.!

BEAUTIFUL BOY - JOHN LENNON

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean

Storm
Lifehouse

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

This song is making me smile today. It's not all crushed out of me.

The Minnow & The Trout
A Fine Frenzy

Help me out said the minnow to the trout
I was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth
Help me chief
I've got to plans for you and me
I swear upon this riverbed
I'll help you feel young again

Not your every day circumstance
Hummingbird taking coffee with the ants

Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
We're not that different after all

Help me out said the eagle to the dove
I've fallen from my nest so high above
Help me fly
I am too afraid try
Now saddled with a fear of heights
I'm praying you can set me right

Not your everyday circumstance
Elephant sharing peanuts with the rats
And I said

Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
We're not that different after all

We are tied in history
Connected like a family

Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
All the same
We're not that different after all

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say that...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...

Subterranean Homesick Blues
Bob Dylan

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

The Walk
Imogen Heap

Inside-out, upside-down,
Twisting beside myself.
Stop that now,
'Cause you and I were never meant to be.
I think you'd better leave.
It's not safe in here.
I feel a weakness coming on.

Alright then, (alright then.)
I could keep your number for a rainy day.
That's where this ends.
No mistakes no misbehaving.
I was doing so well.
Could we just be friends?
I feel a weakness coming on.

It's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
Yeah.
No it's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
So that makes it all your fault.

Inside-out, upside-down,
Twisting beside myself.
Stop that now.
You're as close as it gets
Without touching me.
Oh now don't make it harder
Than it already is.
I feel a weakness coming on.

It's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
Yeah.
No it's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
So that makes it all your fault.

Big trouble losing control.
Primary resistance at a critical low.
on the double gotta get a hold.
Point of no return one second to go.

No response on any level,
Red-alert this vessel's under siege.
Total overload all systems down they've got control.
There's no way out.
We are surrounded.
Give in, give in and relish every minute of it.

Freeze or make it forever.
I feel a weakness coming on.

It�s not meant to be like this,
Not what I planned at all.
I don�t want to feel like this.
Yeah.
No it�s not meant to be like this,
It's just what I don't need.
Why make me feel like this?
It's definitely all your fault.

I canNOT stop listening to this song.

Nine in the Afternoon
Panic! At the Disco

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah we're feeling so good

Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could you can

Into a place, where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon and
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon and
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good

Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do ya know what I mean?

Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place
Back to the room where it all began
Back to the room where it all began

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

"Hallelujah"
by Leonard Cohen

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above,
And all I ever learned from love,
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you,
It's not a cry you can hear at night,
It's not somebody who's seen the light,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Pardon Me
Incubus

A decade ago,
I never thought I would be,
at twenty-three, on the verge of
spontaneous combustion. -Woe-is-me.-
But I guess that it comes
with the territory,
An ominous landscape of
never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear,
I need you to see
that I have had all I can take and
exploding seems like a (not an) DEFINITE possibility
to me.

So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Not two days ago,
I was having a look
in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy
fried up above his knee.
I said, "I can relate,"
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcome (not welcomed) vacation from
the burdens of
the planet Earth.
like gravity, hypocrisy (not hypocracy),
and the perils of being in 3-D...
but thinking so much differently.

Pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Never be the same, yeah...
Pardon me, while I burst into flames...
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.

So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Never be the same, yeahh!!

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

WHY SHOULD I CRYFORYOU?
by Sting

Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of Faroe

Under the Artic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining

But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over the godless sea
Mountains of endless falling
For all my days remaining

What would be true?

Sometimes I see your face
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?

Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say
That, "I loved you in my fashion"?

What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?

Between the Lines
By Benoit Jutras

between the rain lines
years of memories etched in every heart
between the lines
see the scars, see the light open doors
see the scars, see the light, private wars

look at these arms
within them the strength of a thousand men
the world so changed
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
reaching up, so unsure what will come

how long is time?
can I still dream myself awake?
my shadow haunts the sky at night

from seeds we've grown
rooted to earth and soothed by the rain
climb up and sit
for a while in my arms you can stay
for a while in my arms you can stay
for a while in my arms you can stay

(shadows in the rain lines)

how long is time?
can I still dream myself awake?
my shadow haunts the sky at night

look at these arms
within them the strength of a thousand men
the world so changed
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun

In honor of Anthouny Minghella

"You Will Be My Ain Ture Love"
By Sting and Allison Krause

Yea,I'll walk unscathed through musket fire
No ploughman's blade will cut thee down
No cutlass wound will mar thy face
And you will be my ain true love
And you will be my ain true love

And as ye walk through death's dark vale
The cannon's thunder can't prevail
And those who hunt thee down will fail
And you will be my ain true love
And you will be my ain true love

Asleep inside the cannon's mouth
The captain cries here comes the rout
They'll seek to blind me North and South
I've gone to find my ain true love

The field is cut and bleeds to red
The cannonballs fly round my head
The infirmary man may count me dead
But I've gone to find my ain true love
I've gone to find my ain true love

Monkey Wrench
Foo Fighters

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent Resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten 3x

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten 3x

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Temper 3x

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit
Into my head I still remember every single word
You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was
Always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench

Stepping out of the shadows
I'm blinded by the light
there'll be no more wasted days
No more sleepless nights

Stepping out of your shadow
I finally see the light
No more little nice girl
I'm ready for the fight
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken now
I see through your disguise

I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
Do you really think I'd just lay down and die

No infatuation
I don't believe your lies
I can see clearly now
The truth behind your eyes
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken
I see through your disguise

I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
No more angry words, no chance for you to lie
Did you really think I'd just lay down and die

Passion fades away
Love can turn to hate
And all the words I want to say
Are left in the hands of fate

I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
No more angry words, no chance for you to lie
Did you really think I'd just lay down and die

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

Hang On Little Tomato-Pink Martini

The sun has left and forgotten me
It's dark, I cannot see
Why does this rain pour down
I'm gonna drown
In a sea
Of deep confusion

Somebody told me, I don't know who
Whenever you are sad and blue
And you're feelin' all alone and left behind
Just take a look inside and you will find

You gotta hold on, hold on through the night
Hang on, things will be all right
Even when it's dark
And not a bit of sparkling
Sing-song sunshine from above
Spreading rays of sunny love

Just hang on, hang on to the vine
Stay on, soon you'll be divine
If you start to cry, look up to the sky
Something's coming up ahead
To turn your tears to dew instead

And so I hold on to his advice
When change is hard and not so nice
You listen to your heart the whole night through
Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you

Rich Girl
Hall & Oates

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

You can rely on the old man's money

You can rely on the old man's money

I t's a bitch girl but it's gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

Say money but it won't get you too far,

Get you too far

And don't you know, don't you know

That it's wrong to take what is given you

So far gone, on your own

You can get along if you try to be strong

But you'll never be strong

'Cause

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

You can rely on the old man's money

You can rely on the old man's money

It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

Say money but it won't get you too far,

Get you too far

High and dry, out of the rain

It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain

And don't you know that a love can't grow

'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live

For the thrill of it all, oh

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

You can rely on the old man's money

You can rely on the old man's money

It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

Say money but it won't get you too far,

Say money but it won't get you too far,

Say money but it won't get you too far,

Get you too far

And you say

You can rely on the old man's money

You can rely on the old man's money

You're a rich girl, a rich girl

Oh, you're a rich rich girl yeah

Say money but it won't get you too far,

Oh, get ya too far

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

It sure is mellow grazin' in the grass

(
Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?

What a trip just watchin' as the world goes past

(
Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?

There are so many good things to see while grazin' in the grass

(
Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it

Flowers with colours for takin' -- everything outtasite! -- in the grass

(
Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?

The sun beaming down between the leaves

(
Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?

And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees

(
Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?
)

Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it

And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real (
Sock it to me, rock it to me, sock it to me, rock it to me
)
Can you dig it?
Whooo-oooh!

I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?

I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?

Because of You
sung by Kelly Clarkson

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
'Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eye

I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When if wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

I watched you die, I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young, you should have known
Better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt

Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because if you
I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you, I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

ONE
by U2

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame?

You say
One love
One life
When its one need
In the night
Its one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you dont care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well its too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Havew you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now its all I got
We're one
But were not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I cant be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.

Fragilidad
Sting

Ma�ana ya la sangre no estar�
Al caer la lluvia se la llevar�
Acero y piel combinaci�n tan cruel
Pero algo en nuestras mentes quedar�

Un acto as� terminar�
Con una vida y nada m�s
Nada se logra con violencia
Ni se lograr�
Aquellos que han nacido en un mundo as�

Que fragilidad, que fragilidad

MY LIFE
by Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm allright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong
Don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm allright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

I'm trying hard to be happy today, and this is my ultimate happy song:

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
by Kermit the Frog

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic...

... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...

ARTIST: Rod Stewart and Dianne Warren
TITLE: Faith of the Heart

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel a change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not going to hold me down no more
No they're not going to hold me down

{Refrain}
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I've got faith
Faith of the heart

It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not going to hold me down no more
No, they're not going to change my mind

{Refrain}

I've known a wind so cold, seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine, oh yeah

{Refrain}

It's been a long road

Junior's Farm
Paul McCartney & Wings

You should have seem me with the poker man
I had a honey and I bet a grand
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand
I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow
When up popped a sea lion ready to go

Chorus
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm

At the Houses of Parliament
Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President
We all chip in for a bag of cement
Ollie Hardy should have had more sense
He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence
All for the sake of a couple of pence

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm
Let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm
Everybody tag along

I took my bag into a grocer's store
The price is higher than the time before
Old man asked me "Why is it more?"
I said "You should have seem me with the poker man
I had a honey and I bet a grand
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm

Let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm
Everybody tag along
Take me down to Junior's Farm

Take me back, take me back
I wanna go there...

Be courteous, kind and forgiving,
Be gentle and peaceful each day,
Be warm and human and grateful,
And have a good thing to say.

Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike,
Be witty and happy and wise,
Be honest and love all your neighbors,
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant.

Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus,
Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent,
Criticize things you don't know about,
Be oblong and have your knees removed.

Be tasteless, rude, and offensive,
Live in a swamp and be three dimensional,
Put a live chicken in your underwear,
Get all excited and go to a yawning festival.

O.K. everybody!

Be courteous, kind and forgiving,
Be gentle and peaceful each day,
Be warm and human and grateful,
And have a good thing to say.

Be honest and love all your neighbors,
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant.

Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus,

Criticize things you don't know about,

Live in a swamp and be three dimensional,

Put a live chicken in your underwear,
Go into a closet and suck eggs.

NATIONAL BROTHERHOOD WEEK
byTom Lehrer

One week of every year is designated National Brotherhood Week. This is just one of many such weeks honoring various worthy causes. One of my favorites is National Make-fun-of-the-handicapped Week which Frank Fontaine and Jerry Lewis are in charge of as you know. During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood. This year, for example, on the first day of the week Malcolm X was killed which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is. I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that. Here's a song about National Brotherhood Week.

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Muslims,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

How You Remind Me
by Nickelback

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of livin' like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waitin' on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head scream: are we havin' fun yet?

yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no

It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear i still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause livin' with me must have damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
[How You Remind Me lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head scream are we havin' fun yet?

Yet yet yet no no
Yet yet yet no no
Yet yet yet no no
Yet yet yet no no

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'

And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waitin' on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handin' you a heart worth breakin
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head scream are we havin' fun yet.

yet, yet

are we havin' fun yet, yet...
are we havin' fun yet, yet...
are we havin' fun yet, yet...

No, No

I can't stop listening to this song.

Doctor Blind
Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton

The lack of light, hollow sea
Poison beaches, limousines
Toothless dentists, cops that kill

My baby's got the lonesome lows, don't quite go away overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the blue ones
If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the red ones

Da da-da, da-da da-dum, da da-da
Ah ah-ah, ah-ah da-dum, ah-da-da da

Hard to hold, cold to touch
Fall to pieces, treat the rush
In hindsight, primetime talk
All your pain will end here
Let the doctor soothe your brain, dear

My baby's got the lonesome lows, don't quite go away overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the blue ones
If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the red ones

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Bless you, alcohol bloodstream
Save me, nicotine lung steam

Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

The Seven Deadly Finns
by Brian Eno

Oh, the French girls with their strings of pearls
Think it's such a burning shame
That the local boys with their country joys
Never make them daisy chains.

They're swapping disappointing incidents
While at the dock another ship pulls in
And suddenly the door breaks down (Ooh la la!)
It's the Seven Deadly Finns!

Oh, soldiers and sailors
Have all been there before:
Gigolos and governments
Have tumbled through that door.

Because they need those French girls
With all their kiss-curls
And powder in their guns
And the Seven Finns with the deadly grins
Tend to measure beauty in tons!

The first is a freak with a masochistic streak
And the second is a kitten up a tree
The third is a flirt with an awful print skirt
And the fourth is pretending to be me
The fifth wears a mac and never turns his back
And the sixth never shows his eyes
But the Seventh Deadly Finn is so tall and slim,
He should have never been with those guys

Although variety is the spice of life,
A steady rhythm is the source
Simplicity is the crucial thing
Systemically of course
So when those French Girls say to you
"Would you like your ashes raked?"
You'll have to take their word for it:
It's the only thing to take...

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park
Tom Lehrer
Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? 'Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes every Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Everything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel* or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment,
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strych'nine
We feed to a pigeon.
(It just takes a smidgin!)
To poison a pigeon in the park.

...and this:

Yoda
"Weird Al" Yankovic

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S-O-D-A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him for his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y-O-D-A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
but, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
Oh with my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

...and maybe this:
Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
Alan Sherman

Hello muddah, hello faddah,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining,
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining!

I went hiking with Joe Spivey,
He developed poison ivy.
You remember Lennard Skinard,
He got ptomain poisoning last night after dinner!

All the counselors hate the waiters,
And the lake has alligators!
And the head coach wants no sissies,
So he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses'.

No, I don't want this should scare ya,
But my bunkmate has malaria!
You remember Jeffrey Hardy,
They're about to organize a searching party!

Take me home, oh muddah, faddah.
Take me home, I hate Granada.
Don't leave me out in the forest,
Where I might get eaten by a bear!

Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,
Or mess the house with other boys.
Oh please don't make me stay;
I've been here one whole day!

Dearest faddah, darling muddah,
How's my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home if you miss me;
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me!

Wait a minute; it stopped hailing.
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's better.
Muddah, faddah, kindly disregard this letter!

I've had this in my head for DAYS, and finally looked up the lyrics... I remembered quite a bit, actually!

Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? theme song

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
So let it be
So let it be

And may your dreams

Let it rain
Rain on him

PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)
by U2

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...

Her music is amazing, but seeing her live, we leave half in love with her and wanting to be her best friend. She is just so fabulous. And this song makes my heart smile just a little.

FAR AWAY

Ingrid Michaelson

I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay.
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,
And close to my heart he'll always stay.

I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and
Nelly and Faye.
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
On our island in the blue bay.

Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life.

There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar.
And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops.
How I love to love him from afar.

When he walks right pass me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't stay.
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
On an island in the blue bay.

Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life.

I want to go far away.
Away away, I want to go far away, away, away
I want to go far away, far away.

Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another life, to another life.
To another shore line
In another life.

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

This song...so many emotions. I couldn't not post it today, it had me in tears last night. Tears of happiness that this wasn't the end, like I thought it would be back then.

Blue Eyes
Cary Brothers

Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You�re the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes
You�re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes
You�re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you�

"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Blaze Of Glory
by Jon Bon Jovi

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind
When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
You ask about my consience
And I offer you my soul
You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well,I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord,I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man
Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
and I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun

You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Lennon/McCartney (Do you still doubt? � Wink

)

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
"Love will find a way?"
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

One of the least depressing songs I know; sing it yourself and see if you don't get into the spirit of the thing!

Oh, the wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy;
Fun fun fun fun fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one!
Oh, IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm
The only one!

This song is so comforting to me, always.

Blackbird
The Beatles

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

yeah, i'm just glad I made it through today

The Hill

Walking up the hill tonight
and you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn't have to make
all those mistakes and be wise
Please try to be patient
and know that I'm still learning
I'm sorry that you have to see
the strength inside me burning

Where are you my angel now
don't you see me crying?
And I know that you can't do it all
but you can't say I'm not trying
I'm on my knees in front of him
but he doesn't seem to see me
But all his troubles on his mind
he's looking right through me
And I'm letting myself down
beside this fire in you
And I wish that you could see
that half my troubles too

Looking at you sleeping
I'm with the man I love
I'm sitting here weeping
while the hours pass so slow
And I know that in the morning
I'll have to let you go
And you'll be just a man
once I used to know
And for these past few days
someone I don't recognise
This isn't all my fault
when will you realise

Looking at you leaving, I'm looking for a sign

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

I discovered her a good year ago, but didn't expand enough to consider her entire repertoire. She is my new obsession.

Mouthwash

Kate Nash

This is my face
Covered in freckles
With the occasional spot
And some veins

This is my body
Covered in skin
And not all of it
You can see

And this is my mind
It goes over and over
The same old lines

And this is my brain
It's torturous analytical thoughts
Make me go insane

And I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

And I'm singing "oh oh"
on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh"
on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh"
on a Friday night
And I hope everything's
gonna be alright
And I'm singing "oh oh"
on a Friday night
And I hope everything's
gonna be alright

This is my face
I've got a thousand opinions
And not the time to explain

And this is my body
And no matter how you
try and disable it
Yes I'll still be here

And this is my mind
And although you try to infringe
You cannot confine

And this is my brain
And even if you try and hold me back
There's nothing that you can gain

'Cause I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I've got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh"
on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh"
on a Friday night
And I hope everything's
gonna be alright
And I'm singing "oh oh"
on a Friday night
And I hope everything's
gonna be alright
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness

She may be waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
And while she's without them
Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental
She has her grief
And her cares
But a word
Soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy
to try a little tenderness

You've gotta try
You've gotta hold 'er
You've got ta squeeze her
You have to try
You've got ta try
And always please her
You won't regret it
You won't regret it
Oh
Try a little tender-ness

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

Ferry 'Cross The Mersey
Gerry Marsden

Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay

People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
and always take me there
The place I love

People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away

So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
and here I'll stay
Here I'll stay

The Ballad of Jayne

Jayne, the man they call Jayne

He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne

Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'
He saw the mudders' lament
And he saw the magistrate takin'
Every dollar and leavin' five cents
So he said "you can't do that to my people"
He said "you can't crush them under your heel"
So Jayne strapped on his hat
And in 5 seconds flat
Stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal

He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne

Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
The man they called Jayne
He stole away our pain
And headed out for the stars

He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne.

The Ballad of Irving
Frank Gallop

He was short and fat, and rode out of the West
With a Mogen David on his silver vest.
He was mean and nasty right clear through,
Which was kinda weird, 'cause he was yellow too.

They called him Irving.
Big Irving.
Big, short Irving.
Big, short, fat Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

He came from the old Bar Mitzvah spread,
With a 10-gallon yarmulke on his head.
He always followed his mother's wishes,
Even on the range he used two sets of dishes.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sissy Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he,
But Irving was looking for one forty-three.
Walked into Sol's Saloon like a man insane,
And ordered three fingers of two cents plain.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sport Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

One day Bad Max happened into town.
His aim was to shoot fat Irving down.
Bad Max said, "Draw, and draw right now!"
And Irving drew, drew a picture of a cow.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big gunfighter Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

The James Boys was comin' on a train at first sun,
And the town said, "Irving, we need your gun."
When that train pulled in at the break of dawn,
Irving's gun was there, but Irving was gone.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big help, Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

Well, finally Irving got three slugs in the belly.
It was right outside the Frontier Deli.
He was sittin' there twirlin' his gun around,
And butterfingers Irving gunned himself down!

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big dum-dum Irving.
Big dum-dum dead Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
Really.

Your Song
Elton John

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

LOVING LOVERS LOVE

When loving lovers love, When loving love on wings of gold In loving love we fly above, Their love is such a soft and precious love.

It's love.

A lovely love is all we seem to need when We're in loving love. But then, it's gone, It is nothing but a memory.

Memory.

Memory.

Memory.

And then it's back, And loving lovers love again.

Who knows where it flies?

The lustrous love must rise,

Into the endless skies.

A new day shining bright,

Your heart has wings to fly,

And no one else can fly.

I really can't say why,

I really do like pie.

I know a couple of guys,

They really do like pie.

And loving lovers love as loving lovers love, Golden, shimmering, lustrous, lovely, loving, Loving love.

Can i get up in the moming
Put the kettle on
Make us some coffee, say "hey" to the sun...
Is it enough to write a song and sing it to the birds?
They'd hear just the tune
Not understand my love for words
But you would hear me and know

I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life.

I dreamed you first
But not so real
And everyday since I've found you
Such moments we steal
Like little thieves, we rub our hands
We hold our hearts between them.
But will you hear me and know?

I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life.

Move on, move on
Time is accelerating.
Drive on all night
Traffic lights and one-ways.
Move on, move on
Parking violations waiting
Turn off the car, breathe the air
Let's stay here.

I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
To know our neighbors all by name
And every star at night.
We'll weave our days together like waves
And particles of light.

I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life.

Happiness is not a destination, it's a manner of travel.

Nobody Does It Better
Carly Simon

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best

I wasn't looking
but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your lovelight
but like heaven above me
the spy who loved me
is keeping all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone would
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why d'you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me
whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
that keeps me from runnning
but just keep it coming
how'd you learn to do the things you do

And nobody does it better
makes me feel sad for the rest
nobody does it half as good as you
baby baby darling
you're the best
baby you're the best

In Memory of Captain Winifred Nips

"OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY"

When evil stalks upon the land,
I'll neither hold nor stay me hand.
But fight to win a better day,
Over the hills and far away.

Here's forty shillings on the drum
For those who'll volunteer to come
To 'list and fight the foe today.
Over the hills and far away.

(Chorus)
O'er the hills and o'er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
King George commands and we obey.
Over the hills and far away.

When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe.
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away.

If I should fall to rise no more,
As many comrades did before,
Then ask the fifes and drums to play.
Over the hills and far away.

Then fall in lads behind the drum,
With colours blazing like the sun.
Along the road to come-what may.
Over the hills and far away.

After all that you put me through,
You think I'd despise you,
But in the end I wanna thank you,
'Cause you've made me that much stronger

Well I thought I knew you
thinkin' that you were true
Guess I
I couldnt trust
called your bluff time is up
Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side
always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames
cause your greed sold me out in shame

After all of the stealing and cheating
you probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
Cause if it wasnt for all that you tried to do
I wouldnt know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it
Makes me that much stonger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Never saw it coming
all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing
before I'd realize your game
I heard you're going round play
the victim now
But don't even begin feeling
I'm the one to blame
Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies
cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that wont work anymore, no more,
It's over
Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way
now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it
Makes me that much stonger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretend not to know the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You
won't
stop
me

I am a fighter and I
I ain't gonna stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

You thought I would forget
But I remembered
Cause I remembered
I remembered

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

MORITAT
(Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill)

See the shark with teeth like razors
You can read his open face
And Macheath, he's got a knife, and
In such an obvious place

On a beautiful blue Sunday,
See a corpse stretched in the Strand
See a man dodge 'round the corner...
Mackie's friends will understand.

Mr. Meier reported missing
Like so many wealthy men:
Mack the knife acquired his cashbox
God alone knows how or when

Jenny Towler, she turned up lately
With a knife stuck through her breast
While Macheath, he walks the embankment,
Nonchalantly unimpressed

And the ghastly fire in Soho,
Seven children at a go--
In the crowd stands Mac the knife, but
He isn't asked, he doesn't know

And the child bride in her nightgown,
Whose assailants still at large
Violated in her slumbers
Mackie how much did you charge?

Yes, the child bride in her nightgown
Whose assailants still at large
Violated in her slumbers
Mackie how much did you charge?

Mackie how much did you charge?
How much did you charge?
How much did you charge?
How much did you charge?
How much did you charge?

[THE AMERICAN]
So you got what you want
What a nasty ambition!
Set me up, pull me down
Then exploit my condition
I should have guessed, woman
That if pressed, woman
You're on nobody's side but your own
And you're behaving
Like a mere woman
It's so clear, woman --
It's your sex!
Once they start getting old and getting worried
They let fly, take it out
On the one who supports them --
That's you I'm talking about

[THE AMERICAN & FLORENCE]
Who'd ever think it?
Such a squalid little ending
Watching you descending
Just as far as you can go
I'm learning things I didn't want to know
Who'd ever guess it?
This would be the situation --
One more observation --
How'd we ever get this far
Before you showed me what you really are?

[FLORENCE]
You'll be lost without me
To abuse like you're used to

[THE AMERICAN]
Go away! Just get out! Be someone else's parasite!

I'm not the kind to be vindictive
Holding some childish grudge
How could I be? I'm in the spotlight
Half of the world my judge

All I demand is those I work for
Those I give all my skills
All my time and pain
Those that I entertain
Give me the same compassion in return
But the fools never learn!

Let me make one thing quite clear: I never explain anything.

YELLOW BOAT

I think back to my days in school,
I know now I was such a fool,
Yellow is just another shade of blue.

We're makin'a stand,
In a Yellow Boat, a Yellow Boat, a Yellow Boat,
(A Yellow Boat)

We're movin' along,
In a Yellow Boat, a Yellow Boat, a Yellow Boat,

This song has about the silliest hook ever... who wants to be somebody's junk? But despite that I like it. It fits.

My Junk
Spring Awakening

In the midst of this nothing. This mess of a life.
Still there's this one thing: just to see you go by.
It's almost like lovin', sad as that is.
May not be cool, but it's so where I live.

It's like I'm your lover or more like your ghost.
I spend the day wondering what you do, where you go.
I try and just kick it but then what can I do?
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

See us, winter walking after a storm.
It's chill in the wind but it's warm in your arms.
We stumble snowblind, may not be true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

Well, you�ll have to excuse me, I know it�s so off.
I love when you do stuff that�s rude and so wrong.
I go up to my room, turn the stereo on�
Shoot up some you, and the you is some song.

I lie back just driftin' and play out these scenes
I ride on the rush, all the hopes all the dreams.
I may be neglecting the things I should do.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

See we still keep talkin' after you're gone.
You still with me then, feels so good in my arms.
They say you go blind, maybe it's true.
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.

It's like we stop time. What can I do?
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you.
My junk is you.
My junk is you.
You. You. You.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

December Baby

The colored lights, they brightly shine.
Unlike your eyes avoiding mine.
The snow is folding sheet upon sheet.
Our hands not holding as we cross the street.

You have had your fill your fill of me.
You have had your fill your fill of me.

I wore the dress I thought you loved.
But my boots are filling with snow you shoved
Off of the car we climb into.
You finished first, I must catch up to you.

You have had your fill your fill of me.
You have had your fill your fill of me.

How can I catch up when I don't don't want to?
How can I catch up when I still want you?

You have had your fill your fill of me.
You have had your fill your fill of me.

December baby, you are my,
December baby, you are my,
December baby, you are my,
December baby, you are mine.

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Hope for the best, expect the worst,
Some drink champagne, some die of thirst,
No way of knowing
Which way it�s going,
Hope for the best, expect the worst
!
Hope for the best, expect the worst,
The world�s a stage, we�re unrehearsed,
Some reach the top, friends,While others drop, friends,
Hope for the best, expect the worst
!
I knew a man who made a fortune that was splendid
Then he died the day he�d planned to go and spend it
Shouting �Live while you�re alive! No one will survive!�
Life is sorrow � here today and gone tomorrow.
Live while you�re alive, no one will survive �There�s no guarantee.

Hope for the best, expect the worst,
You could be Tolstoy or Fanny Hurst.
You take your chances,There are no answers,
Hope for the best expect the worst!

I knew a man who made a fortune that was splendid
Then he died the day he�d planned to go and spend it
Shouting �Live while you�re alive! No one will survive!�
Life is funny � spend your money! Spend your money!

Live while you�re alive, no one will survive �There�s no guarantee.

Hope for the best, expect the worst,
The rich are blessed, the poor are cursed,
That is a fact, friends,The deck is stacked, friends,
Hope for the best, expect the �

(even with a good beginning, it�s not certain that you�re winning;
even with the best of chances,they can kick you in the pantses)
Look out for the, watch out for the worst! Hey!

Razor Valentine
Thea Gilmore

I love you like a whisper
I love you all alone
I love you like a murder babe
I'm burying the bones
I love you like the last shot
At the bottom of the bottle
I love you, razor valentine

I love you like the dancing dust
I love you like the static
I love you like the tarmac
Loves the kiss of morning traffic
I love you like the factory smoke
Wraps it arms around the sky
I love you, razor valentine

Oh I've been moving kind of slow don't you think so
Oh I've been taming bloody hearts into valentines

I love you like a ruin babe
I love you like a crime
I love you like a drunk
At the sound of closing time
I love you as the seconds on my tongue
Are running wild
I love you, razor valentine.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Lawyers, Guns, and Money
Warren Zevon

I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns and money...

FREE LOVE FREEWAY
by Ricky Gervais/David Brent

Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah....
She�s broken down on freeway nine.
I take a look and her engine�s started,
I leave her purring and I roll on by....bye bye

Free love on the free love freeway,
The love is free and the freeway�s long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain�t going home cos� my baby�s gone
A little while later, see a senorita,
She�s caught a flat trying to make it home,
She says "Por favor, can you pump me up?"
I say "Muchos gracias, adios. Bye Bye."

Free love on the freelove freeway,
The love is free and the freeway�s long
I got some hot love on the hotlove highway,
Ain't going home �cause my baby's gone.

Little while later I see a cowboy crying,
"Hey buddy, what can I do?"
He says "I lived a good life, had about a thousand women."
I said "Why the tears?", he says "�cause none of them was you."
Free love on the free love freeway,
where the love is free and the freeway is long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain�t going home cos� my baby�s gone

I hate when things get true.

Be Here Now
Ray LaMontagne

Don't let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there's a strength that lies

Don't let your soul get lonely child
It's only time, it will go by
Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

Nine freaking years.

Cathedrals
Jump, Little Children

In the shadows of tall buildings
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
The line moves slowly past the electric fence
Across the borders between continents

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

In the shadows of tall buildings
The architecture is slowly peeling
Marble statues and glass dividers
Someone is watching all of the outsiders
The line moves slowly through the numbered gate
Past the mosaic of the head of state

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

In the shadows of tall buildings
Of open arches endlessly kneeling
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
Someone is listening from a safe distance
The line moves slowly into a fading light
A final moment in the dead of the night

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Elevator Love Letter
Stars

(her: )
I'm so hard for a rich girl
My heels are high, my eyes cast low
And I don't know how to love
I get so tired after midday, lately
I take it out on my good friends
But the worst stays in, or where would I begin?

My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home

(him: )
I'm so hot for the rich girl
Her heels so high, and my hopes so low
'Cause I don't know how to love
I'll take her home after midnight
And if she likes, I'll tell her lies
How we'll be in love by the morning
I don't think she knows
That I'm saying good bye

My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home

My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home

Don't go, say you'll stay
Spend a lazy Sunday
In my arms, I won't take
Anything away

Don't go, say you'll stay
Spend a lazy Sunday
In my arms, don't take
Anything away

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

P.B.E.
John Forte

I encourage everyone to sing along...
Unh huh with the song...
Yo you can bump this on every side of the compass
You know the crew you can ask Grady
We not playin' baby
We just Nutzbaby
Can you dig it lady? yo....

I'm Powerful man... (Powerful)
Yo I'm Beautiful man...(Beautiful)
Yo I'm Excellent man...(Excellent)
Come on man you really can't even dig it baby come on now...
I'm...

[Forte - Chorus]

Powerful, Beautiful, Excellent!
You the little thing that I want!

Powerful, Beautiful, Excellent!
You the dime piece that I want!

Come on now again...
Powerful, Beautiful, Excellent!
You the little wiz that I want!

Powerful, Beautiful, Excellent!
It's too much iron that I want! (P.B.E.!)

[Forte' - Verse One]

MmHmm....Shorty got a little walk wit' her
Spread the word I wanna have a little talk wit' her
I heard a few cats dealed out and forked with her
Sure... She knew my name, looking cute, acting awkwarder
Yo D, double park the B outside
I ain't even take a step yet, she's alkaline!
But I don't sweat it though
Some brothers'll never know
Kids know my style, matico!
And with a short stay, at the crib of John Forte'
I leave that body shook like your first court date
Ooo, You is so fine!
Amongst the best, you a diamond in the gold mine
I turn it and have you digging it in no time
Why you laughing at the captain, that ain't no lyin' ?
As if I said this before, who'd be foolish to ask for mo' ?
As if you didn't know!

[Chorus]

Well yea Dad, I travel 'round
Ran through many towns
I met too many clowns, on many grounds
Although I love women-kind
A devil comes in all forms, shape, colours, of many minds
Seductive, your G's tight love, but destructive
The type to throw a fit to keep your man pussy-whipped
Baby, who you think you dealin' wit' ?
I was schooled by the same vets who used the same game
to put your moms and your aunts in check
And still feelin' it, you dig?
Now think hard, before you say another word
Actin' like you never heard of this P.B.E.
F-O-R-T-E, asking over he--
That little diplomat, who can break yo' back
So where your head at? You want a li'l beef? Tat-tat!
Worldwide, allegience, stick it, and respect that
Bet that Brownsvillie hard love, and silly
Twenty slash twenty (20/20), Barbara, call me honey
Show me yo' money
My crew though paid, stay hungry
I still let a shorty fund me
You a dummy, I'll report if you want me!

[Chorus]

[Forte' - Verse Three]

You want something to relieve, and royally, we're the kings
"And Bat-Man don't wear G-strings!" (Imitating Wyclef dissing LL Cool J)
You a baby, still teething
My crew, sneak up on you like a bee-sting
Oysters, touting ginseng
You've got a private invi - to - the - tation
Wasting my time and your time, makes me impatient
So listen to the tracks as the lights go out
Wild cats clear the front, turn your thang - thangs out! (No Doubt!)

P.B.E. !

P.B.E. !

Pardon the interruption
But I was just discussing
Your fine figures, won't you hang out with my n*****
We 'gon', party until the daybreak
And do whatever it takes
To satisfy your appetite and treat you right, baby!

Powerful, Beautiful, Excellent! ....... P.B.E.! (Repeat 5x)

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Heart and Shoulder
Heather Nova

Wanna cry for you
Would it do any good?
If I rained for you
It would just be water

And the nights with you
And the storms in your hand
And youre down, and youre down
And I cant lift you

Im powerless to change your world
Im powerless to stop the hurt

But Ill give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
Over and over

Wanna run for you
Would it do any good?
If I flew for you
You would still be standing

And its hard watching
cause Im part of you
And its hard not to
Not to know what I can do

Im powerless to change your world
Im powerless to stop the hurt

Im trying hard to be your tower of strength
Im trying hard to bring you back to joy

Ill give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder

When the night just cuts you through
And the dream is lost to you
When youre worried and confused

I will give you my heart give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
Over and over

Time and again
Give you my shoulder
I will
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I will
Time and again
Over and over
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder

"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Sex Is Beautiful
By Simon Carpentier

do it again
I'll build a stairway
to the silver moon
why talk about sex
you can do no wrong
because it's sweet and low down

in this whorehouse of love
my body's a paradise
all through the night

that's the way it goes
sex is beautiful

through the day and through the night
I'm gonna make it better
gonna make it all right
let me move so we can lose the groove
that got us [rootin], got us uptight

secret kisses, a parasite
masturbating secrets, desire
a controversy with no returns
in this garden of earthly delights

Every Sperm Is Sacred
Monty Python (Eric Idle, really)

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

MEN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
WOMEN:
If a sperm is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...God get quite irate.

PRIEST:
Every sperm is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every sperm is good.
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed...
CARDINALS:
...In your neighbourhood!

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!

NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

EVERYONE:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!

ONE
by U2

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When its one need
In the night
Its one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you dont care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well its too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now its all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.

I'm seeing Missy Higgins tonight! ghee!!!

Also, this song makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it.

Where I Stood

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run, and honey
You know me, it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
And little voices whispering
That I should go, and this should
Oh and I found myself listening

'Cause I don't know who I am
Who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand
Another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See, I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you aren't leaving without a fight,
And I think I am just as torn inside

'Cause I don't know who I am
Who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand
Another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself, and so I say to you
This what I have to do

'Cause I don't know who I am
Who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I know if I could stand
Another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

She who dares to stand where I stood

OMG!!! This song is so me and the wife!!!

I Kissed A Girl
by Katy Perry

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
Your my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

There are times I think that song was the only thing that saved me during my last breakup. It was on repeat for about a month.

Is there a time for keeping a distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to walk for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for east 17
Is there a time to turn the mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume
trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
come fiume
L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare

Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze

My Funny Friend And Me
by Sting

In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened
To the life we knew before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me and you reminded me
That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
And when a simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know was upside down
And now the world and me, I know you carry me

You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost we could refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
Would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me

I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And you could've made it through
But your funny friend and me

You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet in a bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We'll be together till the end is nigh
Don't know the answer or the reason why
We'll stick together till the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
When the angels sing that that unlikely blend
Are those two funny friends
That's us

This song has bee stuck in my head since Sydney Pollack died.

IT MIGHT BE YOU/ALL OF MY LIFE (Theme from "Tootise")

Time...
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand watching sea birds fly
Wishing there would be someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
Yes, it's telling me it might be you
All of my life

Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognize the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to make
And with so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time...
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you all of my life

Yeah, maybe it's you, maybe it's you
I've been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it's you, maybe it's you
I've been waiting for you all of my life
Maybe it's you, maybe it's you
I've been waiting for all of my life

Secret

You were from the North, I was from the South
We were form opposite places, different towns
But I knew it was good and you knew it was too
So we moved together like a ball and chain
Minds becoming two halves of the same
It was real, but in shadows it grew

Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?

I would've shouted loud and broken through
I would've given it all to belong to you
But there were different plans, different rules
You said "where I'm from there is a lock and key
If you'd be so kind as to follow me
I will show you the way to the rest of my sins"

Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't ya babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know

So this room was damp where your sins laid
There was that smell in the air of an old place
That hadn't seen much daylight in years
And you threw me down, said, "If ya don't mind
I'm gonna leave you here until night time
Then we can do what we want my baby out of the spotlight."

Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't ya babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know
For I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Yeah I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Aren't I babe?

Take Your Carriage Clock And Shove It
by Belle & Sebastian

In the board room
the quiet man
takes a second to think what to do.
He's out of his seat
and he's starting to speak
and he hears his own voice.

For years and years
he's done nothing
but bow down
and put up
with all their demands.
She sits like a viper
and offers the clock
without giving a damn.

He takes it...
"Honor forbids me
but honor be damned;
You have whined
'til you got what you want.
I did the work
and when things would go badly
You left us to rot."

He locked the
door of the boardroom
and turned,
like the scene
from the old country song.
Towering over the table,
he is lost --
he is drunk with it all.

"You only
came back to us
when we'd turned it around,
when we'd rescued your arse
from the fire.
Your contribution
to all that we did
was to say it was dire."

"Night
after day
after night
I've been working
despite of your crappity smacking us all.
Now I'm gonna die,
I don't care if you cry,
just please leave me alone.
And spare those tears for yourself;
we've had those 'til we're sick!
You should leave
while you still have the chance."

The others were shocked
at this shameful display
at the end of an honored career.
He paused in the silence
to pull down his tie
and observe the melee.

For some reason, I have always associated this song with a particular person, and probably always will.

YOU'LL BE IN MY HEART
by Phil Collins

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
believe me you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

I associate this one with my nephew and neice. They are My "happy thought".

When You're Alone
Music By John Williams, Lyrics By Leslie Bricusse

When you're all alone
Far away from home
There's a gift the angels
send
When you're alone

Everyday must end
But the night's our friend
Angels always send a
star
When you're alone

At night when I'm alone
I lie awake and wonder
Which of them
belongs to me
Which one I wonder?

And any star I choose
Watches over me
So I know I'm not alone
When I'm here on my own

Isn't that a wonder?
When you're alone
You're not alone
Not really alone

The stars are all my friends
Till the night time ends
So I know �I'm not alone
When I'm here on my own

Isn't that a wonder?
When you're alone
You're not alone
Not �really alone....

I've got to see you again
Norah Jones

Lines on your face don't bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

Late in the night when I'm all alone
And I look at the clock and I know you're not home
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream

But no I won't go for any of those things
To not touch your skin is not why I sing
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream

No I won't go to share you with them
But oh even though I know where
you've been
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

Waterloo
Bj�rn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson

My my, at waterloo napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldnt escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo

My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldnt escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you

And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldnt escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo

INTO THE WEST

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Until the world of night
Through shadows' falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

As Lovers Go
Dashbooard Confessional

She said, "I've got to be honest,
You're wasting your time if you're fishin' around here."
And I said, "You must be mistaken,
I'm not foolin', this feelin' is real."
She said, "You've gotta be crazy!
What do you take me for? Some kinda of easy mark?"

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But I swear that you've got me all wrong."

All wrong
All wrong
But you've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier,
I'll be yours my dear
And I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go.
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made,
What's the sense in waiting?

I said, "I've got to be honest,
I've been waiting for you all of my life."
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane.
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?"

Tonight
Tonight
You've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier,
I'll be yours my dear
I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.

Be Mine
Robyn

It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain
As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain
There'll be no last chance to promise to never mess it up again
Just the sweet pain of watching your back as you walk
As I'm watching you walk away
And now you're gone, there's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said

It's a cruel thing you'll never know all the ways I tried
It's a hard thing, faking a smile when I feel
like I'm falling apart inside
And now you're gone, there's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said

But you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine

For the first time, there is no mercy in your eyes
And the cold wind is hitting my face and you're gone
And you're walking away (away)
And now I'm helpless sometimes
Wishing's just no good
'Cause you don't see me like I wish you would

'Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine

There's a moment to seize everytime that we meet
But you always keep passing me by

No, you never were, and you never will be mine

(I saw you at the station,
You had your arm around what's-her-name
She had on that scarf I gave you
And you got down to tie her laces)

'Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
(You looked happy, and that's great)
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
(I just miss you, that's all)

'Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine

There's a moment to seize everytime that we meet (hey, yeah)
But you always keep passing me by

No, you never were, and you never will be mine
'Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
(You never were, and you never will)
You never were and you never will be mine

There's a moment to seize everytime that we meet
But you always keep passing me by

No, you never were, and you never will be mine

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

How about some Friday hotness?

Bodies
Soul Miner's Daughter

Well I drove home late last evenin'
My good friends came along
My sweet soul sister smilin' at
The way I sing my songs

And we celebrated, hallelujah
Like we often do
But I never thought this night would have me
Layin' down with you

And we stepped to my soul kitchen side by side
To get another drink and get as cloudy as the sky was
And we stepped outside to have a smoke
Light your cigarette and let your thoughts pour down my throat

And I said "Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?"

Well don't burden me with those hypothetic questions in your eyes
And time's already stood still long enough to make you cry
Are you thinking what I think you're thinking, drive me mad

Wet my lips with teardrops, or moisture not so sad

And I said "Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?"

As a point of creature comfort I lay down next to you
Unexpecting unprepared for what you want to do
And I tried to keep my wits about me for some time
But when your fingers ran across my stomach thoughts ran through my mind

And then you rolled your body over and put your lips on mine
Resolving any doubt I had of what you had in mind
We both got hot and bothered, pet me heavy hands all over
Won't you take me for a ride (and I'm just goin' ...)

And I said "Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, where's it gonna..."

We'd better stop
My apprehension's growin'
You know what that means
Well I can take you places
Show you things you've never seen before
Well, if I take you and you take me
What happens when we're through?
You said, "I'll probably have a cigarette and fall asleep with you"

So move to me and shake the heavens
Shake the sky
Your salty sweet ambition layin' down
A rhythm like your favorite song
And this is sin and this is good
Now lover don't regress to shame
I know that god was with us girl,
I heard you call his name (Oh. My. God.)

And I said "Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, where's it gonna go?
Hey, oh no, Hey...."

Through the highest parts of heaven
Down the sweetest parts of hell
You come to me like visions girl
I promise I don't kiss and tell
Your skinny lips, your sweat and sex,
Your breath it covets me
You know I like my body best when it is
on your body

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

The Land Of Might-Have Been

Lyrics: Edward Moore
Music: Ivor Novello

Somewhere there's another land
different from this world below,
far more mercifully planned
than the cruel place we know.
Innocence and peace are there--
all is good that is desired.
Faces there are always fair;
love grows never old nor tired.

We shall never find that lovely
land of might-have-been.
I can never be your king nor
you can be my queen.
Days may pass and years may pass
and seas may lie between--
We shall never find that lovely
land of might-have-been.

Sometimes on the rarest nights
comes the vision calm and clear,
gleaming with unearthly lights
on our path of doubt and fear.
Winds from that far land are blown,
whispering with secret breath--
hope that plays a tune alone,
love that conquers pain and death.

Shall we ever find that lovely
land of might-have-been?
Will I ever be your king or you
at last my queen?
Days may pass and years may pass
and seas may lie between--
Shall we ever find that lovely
land of might-have-been?

The Walk
Imogen Heap

Inside-out, upside-down,
Twisting beside myself.
Stop that now,
'Cause you and I were never meant to be.
I think you'd better leave.
It's not safe in here.
I feel a weakness coming on.

All right then (all right then.)
I could keep your number for a rainy day.
That's where this ends.
No mistakes no misbehaving.
I was doing so well.
Could we just be friends?
I feel a weakness coming on.

It's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
No it's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
So that makes it all your fault.

Inside-out, upside-down,
Twisting beside myself.
Stop that now.
You're as close as it gets
Without touching me.
Oh now don't make it harder
Than it already is.
I feel a weakness coming on.

It's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
No it's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
So that makes it all your fault.

Big trouble losing control.
Primary resistance at a critical low.
on the double gotta get a hold.
Point of no return one second to go.

No response on any level,
Red-alert this vessel's under siege.
Total overload all systems down they've got control.
There's no way out.
We are surrounded.
Give in, give in and relish every minute of it.

Freeze, awake here forever.
I feel a weakness coming on.

It�s not meant to be like this,
Not what I planned at all.
I don�t want to feel like this.
Yeah.
No it�s not meant to be like this,
It's just what I don't need.
Why make me feel like this?
It's definitely all your fault.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

And I am also enormously back into the Damien Rice lately. I forget sometimes how much I really love his music, and this is one of my favorites. It's so... I don't even know. I just love it.

Cheers Darlin'
Damien Rice

Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin'
I got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin'
I've got your wedding bells in my ear
Cheers darlin'
You gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away

And I die when you mention his name
And I lied, I should have kissed you
When we were runnin' in the rain

What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover man
Cheers darlin'
I just hang around and eat from a can
Cheers darlin'
I got a ribbon of green on my guitar
Cheers darlin'
I got a beauty queen
To sit not very far from me

I die when he comes around
To take you home
I'm too shy
I should have kissed you when we were alone

What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

Oh what am I? What am I darlin'?
I got years to wait...

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I even missed the show, but a friend recently turned me back on to her big time. Sometimes I forget... but wow.

I Loved You, So What?
Ani DiFranco

Who's gonna give a shit?
Who's gonna take the call?
Find out that the road ahead
Is painted on the wall
And you're turned up to top-volume
You're just sitting there in pause
With your feral little secret
Scratching at you with its claws
And you're trying hard to figure out
Just exactly how you feel
Before you end up parked and sobbing
Forehead on the steering wheel

And who are you now?
And who were you then?
That you thought somehow
You could just pretend
You could figure it all out
The mathematics of regret
It's two beers to remember, now
And five to forget
I loved you, so what?
Yeah, I loved you, so what?
I loved you, so what?

How many times undone
Can one person be
As they're careening through the facade
Of their favorite fantasy
You just close your eyes slowly
Like you're waiting for a kiss
And hope some lowly little power
Will pull you out of this
But none comes at first
And little comes at all
When inspiration finally hits you
It barely even breaks your fall

And who were you then?
And who are you now?
That you can't pretend
That it'll all work out
Subtract out the impact
And the fall is all you get
So here's two beers to remember why
And three more to forget
I loved you so...
I loved you, so what?
I loved you, so what?

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

Ah....a whole new breakup album to commisserate to...

Incomplete
Alanis

One day I'll find relief
I'll be arrived and I'll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends

One day I'll be at peace
I�ll be enlightened and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt

One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

One day, my mind will retreat, and I'll know god and I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I'll be secure, like the women I see on their 30th anniversaries

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous and torturous
But never done

One day, I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filled
I'll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and whole

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"

Because Spencer reminded me and now I can't stop listening to it.

Are We Different
Priscilla Ahn

Come on,
the day is ending.
And we are tired from walking
over and under this town.

Look here,
the fight is starting.
As we near the people are parting.
Oh my, my tired soul

Are we shy?, are we setting new ground?
Are we high when we're watching downtown?
Are we different?

Look close,
your face is changing.
Like most its only aging from all these tired tears.

Come on,
its getting better.
Looks like we're in for warm weather
for the next three billion years.

Are we shy?, are we setting new ground?
Are we high when we're watching downtown?
Are we different?
Are we different?
Are we different?

Are we gonna figure this out?
Are we gonna figure this out?

Are we shy?, are we setting new ground?
Are we high when we're watching downtown?
Are we different?

i love this song SO much.

Both Hands
Ani DiFranco

I am walking
Out in the rain
And I am listening to the low moan
Of the dial tone again
And I am getting
Nowhere with you
And I can't let it go
And I can't get through...

The old woman behind the pink curtains
And the closed door
On the first floor
She's listening through the air shaft
To see how long our swan song can last

And both hands
Now use both hands
Oh, no don't close your eyes
I am writing
Graffitti on your body
I am drawing the story of
How hard we tried

I am watching your chest rise and fall
Like the tides of my life,
And the rest of it all
And your bones have been my bedframe
And your flesh has been my pillow
I've been waiting for sleep
To offer up the deep
With both hands

In each other's shadow we grew less and less tall
And eventually our theories couldn't explain it all
And I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall
And when we leave, the landlord will come
And paint over it all

And I am walking
Out in the rain
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
And I am getting nowhere with you
And I can't let it go
And I can't get though

Oh, both hands
Now use both hands
Oh, no don't close your eyes
I am writing graffitti on your body
I am drawing the story of
How hard we tried

"God got a virgin pregnant by magic. �God is not playing by the rules."
"now that it's raining more than ever..." �LOVE YOU, WIFE!

I'M SO WORRIED

Monty Python

I'm so worried about what's hapenin' today, in the middle east, you know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow
I'm so worried about the fashions today, I don't think they're good for your feet
And I'm so worried about the shows on TV that sometimes they want to repeat

I'm so worried about what's happenin' today, you know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow
I'm so worried about my hair falling out and the state of the world today
And I'm so worried about bein' so full of doubt about everything, anyway

I'm so worried about modern technology
I'm so worried about all the things that they dump in the sea
I'm so worried about it, worried about it, worried, worried, worried

I'm so worried about everything that can go wrong
I'm so worried about whether people like this song
I'm so worried about this very next verse, it isn't the best that I've got
And I'm so worried about whether I should go on, or whether I should just stop

I'm worried about whether I ought to have stopped
And I'm worried about, it's the sort of thing I ought to know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow

I'm so worried about whether I should have stopped then
I'm so worried that I'm driving everyone 'round the bend
I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow

Ice Box
Omarion

Fussin' and fightin', we back at it again
I know that, its my fault, but you don't understand (no)
I got memories, this is crazy
You ain't nothing like the girl I used to know
Good with ma, good with pa, cool with all my n*****
I should try to decide, wanna let u in, but no
That means memories, and its crazy
You ain't nothing like the girl I used to know

[Bridge]
Girl I really wanna work this out, cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm tryin'
Its no excuse, no excuse
But I got this

[Chorus]
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got this)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold

Why cant I get it right, just cant let it go
I opened up, she let me down, I wont feel that no more
I got memories, this is crazy
She ain't nothing like the girl I used to know
I don't mean to take it out on you baby but I cant help it
Cause my heart is in the same ol' condition that baby left it
And I, I apologize, for makin' you cry
Look me in my eye and promise you won't do me the same

[Bridge]
Girl I really wanna work this out, cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm tryin'
Its no excuse, no excuse
But I got this

[Chorus]
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got this)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold

I don't wanna be stuck up in this cold cold world
Don't wanna mess this up better keep your eye on me girl [3x]

[Bridge]
Girl I really wanna work this out, cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm tryin'
Its no excuse, no excuse
But I got this

[Chorus]
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got this)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

London, You're A Lady
�-- The Pogues

Ah, London you're a lady
Laid out before my eyes
Your golden heart is pulsing
Between your scarlet thighs
Your eyes are full of sadness
Red buses skirt your hem
Your headdress is a ring of lights
But I would not follow them
Your architects were madmen
And your builders, sane but drunk
But I miss your fading jewels
Shine acid house and punk

You are a scarred lady
Your streets run red with blood
My darling, they have used you
And covered you with mud
It was deep down in your womb, my love,
I drank my quart of sin
While Chinamen played cards and draughts
And knocked back mickey finns

Your blood runs like a river
And its scent is beer and gin
Your hell is in the summer
And you blossom in the spring
September is your purgatory
Christmas is your heaven
When the stinking streets of summer
Are washed away by the rain
At the dark end of a lonely street
That's where you lose your pain
'Tis then your eyes light up, my love,
And sparkle once again

Occasional postings, frequent absences, never dull

ONE MORE!

The Irish Rover (Traditional)

On the Fourth of July, 1806
We set sail from the sweet Cobh of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft
She was rigged fore and aft
And oh, how the wild wind drove her
She stood several blasts
She had twenty seven masts
And they called her The Irish Rover

We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stones
We had three million sides of old blind horses' hides
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs
Six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million bales of old nanny goats' tails
In the hold of the Irish Rover

There was auld Mickey Coote
Who played hard on his flute
And the ladies lined up for a set
He would tootle with skill
For each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
With his smart, witty talk
He was thingy of the walk
As he rolled the dames under and over
They all knew at a glance
When he took up his stance
That he sailed in The Irish Rover

There was Barney McGee
From the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Johnny McGurk
Who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole
Who was drunk as a rule
And Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover
And your man, Mick McCann
From the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper on the Irish Rover

For a sailor it's always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
That he longs for the shore
and a charming young whore
Who will melt all his troubles away
Oh, the noise and the rout
Swillin' poteen and stout
For him soon the torment's over
Of the love of a maid he is never afraid
An old salt from the Irish Rover

We had sailed seven years
When the measles broke out
And the ship lost its way in the fog
And that whale of a crew
Was reduced down to two
Just meself and the Captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock
Oh Lord! what a shock
The bulkhead was turned right over
Turned nine times around
And the poor old dog was drowned (2,3)
I'm the last of The Irish Rover

The Garden of Allah
Don Henley

It was a pretty big year for fashion
A lousy year for rock and roll
The people gave their blessing to crimes of passion
It was a dark, dark night for the collective soul
I was somewhere out on Riverside
By the El Royale Hotel
When a stranger appeared in a cloud of smoke
I thought I knew him all too well

He said, "Now that I have your attention
I got somethin' I wanna say
You may not wanna hear it
I'm gonna tell it to ya anyway
You know, I've always liked you, boy
'Cause you were not afraid of me
But things are gonna get mighty rough
Here in Gomorrah-By-The-Sea"

He said, "It's just like home
It's so damned hot, I can't stand it
My fine seersucker suit is all soakin' wet"

And the hills are burning
The wind is raging
And the clock strikes midnight
In the Garden of Allah

"Nice car.........
I love those Bavarians.....so meticulous
Y'know, I remember a time when things were a lot more fun around here
When good was good, and evil was evil
Before things got so.......fuzzy
Yeah, I was once a golden boy like you
I was summoned to the halls of power in the heavenly court
And I dined with the deities who looked upon me with favor
For my talents; my creativity
We sat beneath the palms in the warm afternoon
And drank the wine with Fitzgerald and Huxley

They pawned a biting phrase
From tongues hot with blood
And drained their pens of bitter ink
Vainly reaching for the bottle of empty Edens
Branded specially for the ones
Who had come with great expectations
To the perfumed halls of Allah
For their time in the sun

We were stokin' the fires
And oilin' up the machinery
Until the gods found out we had ideas of our own"

And the war was coming
The earth was shakiung
And there was no more room
In the Garden of Allah

"Today I made and appearance downtown
I am an expert witness, because I say I am
And I said, 'Gentleman....and I use that word loosely...I will testify for you
I'm a gun for hire, I'm a saint, I'm a liar
Because there are no facts, no truth, just data to be manipulated
I can get you any result you like....what's it worth to ya?
Because there is no wrong, there is no right
And I sleep very well at night
No shame, no solution
No remorse, no retribution
Just people selling t-shirts
just opportunity t participate in this pathetic little circus
And winning, winning, winning' "

It was a pretty big year for predators
The marketplace was on a roll
And the land of opportunity
Spawned a whole new breed of men without souls
This year, notoriety got all confused with fame
And the devil is downhearted
Because there's nothing left for him to claim

He said, "It's just like home
It's so low-down, I can't stand it
I guess my work around here has all been done

And the fruit is rotten
The serpent's eyes shine
As he wraps around the vine
In the Garden of Allah

This one has been stuck in my head since I watched Act II last night. I actually really love it. The songs from Act II are my favorites so far.

On the Rise
from Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Horrible: Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don�t know if I�ll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the watermain.

Listen close to everybody�s heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground

I cannot believe my eyes
How the world�s filled with filth and lies
but it�s plain to see evil inside of me
is on the rise.

Penny: Look around
We�re living with the lost and found
Just when you feel you�ve almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground

And you believe there�s good in everybody�s heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope you can do your part
To turn a life around

I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise
Because it seems to me some kind of harmony
Is on the rise

H: Anyone with half a brain
P: Take it slow

H: Could spend their whole life howling in pain
P: He looks at me and seems to know

H: Because the dark is everywhere and
P: The things that I�m afraid to show

H: and he doesn�t seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain
P: and suddenly I feel this glow

H: Listen close to everybody�s heart
P: And I believe there�s good in everybody�s heart

H: and hear that breaking sound
P: keep it safe and sound

H: Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
P: With hope you can do your part

H: And crashing to the ground
P: To turn a life around

H: I cannot believe my eyes how the world�s filled with filth and lies
P:I cannot believe my eyes how the world�s finally growing wise

H: But it�s plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise
P: And it�s plain to see rapture inside of me is on the rise

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I haven't been able to get either of these songs out of my head since The Police concert Saturday:

I CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU
by Sting

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride

I can't stand losing you

KING OF PAIN
by Sting
There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there.
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there.
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
That's my soul up there.
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my soul up there.

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today.
It's the same old thing as yesterday,
That's my soul up there.......................

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I always thought you could end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.............

I'll always be king of pain

Myphilosophy
Inner

love, prepare yourself to shine
i have no other way
you should know by now

no, theres no reason to hide
we all know youve got pain
we all know youve got pride
i really love your pride

as i see my reflection
shining from the corners of your eyes

yes, its my philosophy
that when i believe in you,
i believe in me, i believe in me

love, im tired of nostalgia,
its just trapped imagination
im happy with right now

no, its not that im afraid
of something i may find
its just all those designs
we put on everything

once weve had the experience
romanticized until its worth a while

my love, i want to know the truth
i want an empty room that i can scream in
dont have to believe in

my love, i want to be myself
but not all by myself, not all by myself

yes, its my philosophy
that when i believe in you,
i believe in me, i believe in me

love, i dont know how to say
it felt good to walk away
take back some of what is mine
cause its hard to see you shine
cause it hard to see you shining (e)
when im here slowly dying

you know i dont feel proud to be so selfish
i dont really mean to bring you down

(yes, its my philosophy
that if i'm accepting you
you're accepting me......)

yes, its my philosophy
that when i believe in you,
i believe in me, i believe in

yes, its my philosophy
that when i believe in you,
i believe in me, i believe in

yes, its my philosophy
that when i believe in you,
i believe in me, i believe in me..

Yeah, I'm with you DK...after Sat, Roxanne is a whole new song to me:

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW
by Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It�s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I�ve been prayin' for
It�s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there�s nothin?but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It�s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I just found this "song"; sorry it's so long, but it's effin' brilliant!

Underwear Goes Inside The Pants - by Lazyboy

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal?
It's a natural plant that grows in the dirt.
You know what's not natural?
80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That's not natural.
But we got pills for that.
We're dedicating all our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect,
but we're putting people in jail for something that grows in the dirt?

You know we have more prescription drugs now, then...
Every commercial on TV's a prescription drug ad.
I can't watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases.
Like: "Do you ever wake up tired in the morning?"
Oh my god I have this, write this down. Whatever it is, I have it.
Half the time you don't even know what the commercial is:
There's people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.
I'm like that is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.

The schools now: It is all about self-esteem in the schools now.
Build the kids' self-esteem, make them feel good about themselves.
If everybody grows up with high self-esteem, who is going to dance in our strip clubs?
What's going to happen to our p*rno industry?
These women don't just grown on trees.
It takes lots of drunk dads missing dance recitals before you decide to blow a goat on the internet for fifty bucks.
And if that disappears, where does that leave me on a Friday night with my new high speed connection?

Masterminds are another word that comes up all the time.
You keep hearing about these terrorists masterminds that are being killed over in the middle east.
Terrorists masterminds.
Mastermind is sort of a lofty way to describe what these guys do, don't you think?
They're not masterminds.
"OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in backpack. And you get on the bus and you blow yourself up."
"Why do I have to blow myself up? Why don't I put..."
"Who's the f**king mastermind here? Me or you?"
http://www.rare-lyrics.com

Americans, let's face it: We've been a spoiled country for a long time.
You know what the number one health risk in America is?
Obesity. They say we're in the middle of an obesity epidemic.
An epidemic like it is polio. Like we'll be telling our grand kids about it one day.
The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004.
"How'd you get through it grandpa?"
"Oh, it was horrible Johnny, there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere."

Nobody knows why were getting fatter? Look at our lifestyle.
I'll sit at a drive thru.
I'll sit there behind fifteen other cars instead of getting up to make the eight foot walk to the totally empty counter.
Everything is mega meal, super sized. Want biggie fries, super sized, want to go large.
You want to have thirty burgers for a nickel you fat mother f**ker. There's room in the bag. Take it!
Want a 55 gallon drum of Coke with that? It's only three more cents.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.
Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft?
Of course not.
You got to spend a lot of time stuffed in your own locker with your underwear wedged up your ass before you start thinking,
"You'll see. I'm going to take of the world of computers! I'll show them."

We're in one of the richest countries in the world,
but the minimum wage is lower than it was thirty five years ago.
There are homeless people everywhere.
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.
I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.
And then I thought, that's what I'm going to use it on.
Why am I judging this poor bastard.
People love to judge homeless guys. Like if you give them money they're just going to waste it.
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save it up and buy a wall unit?
Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He's homeless.
I walked behind this guy the other day.
A homeless guy asked him for money.
He looks right at the homeless guy and says why don't you go get a job you bum.
People always say that to homeless guys like it's allways that easy.
This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants.
I'm guessing his resume isn't all up to date.
I'm predicting some problems during the interview process.
I'm pretty sure even McDonalds has a "underwear goes inside the pants" policy.
Not that they enforce it very strictly, but technically I'm sure it's on the books

In honor of my last day shooting my King Arthur movie:

CAMLEOT
by Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Lowe

It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.

A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Dream Catch Me
Newton Faulkner

Every time I close my eyes
It�s you and I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea and I know now

There�s a place I go
When I�m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I�m fallin
That�s where I�m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won�t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won�t come back at all

You do so much
That you don�t know
It�s true
And I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea
And I know now

There�s a place I go
When I�m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I�m fallin
That�s where I�m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won�t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won�t come back at all

See you as a mountain
A fountain of God
See you as as a descant soul
in the setting sun
You as the sound

I�m young
There�s a place I go
When I�m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I�m fallin

There�s a place I go
When I�m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I�m fallin
That�s where I�m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won�t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won�t come back at all

This is one of the most amazing songs ever, by damien rice, one of the most amazing artists ever.
This song breaks my heart.
it is from his album "9", which is just as good as his first album "O".

"Accidental Babies"

Well I held you like a lover
Happy hands and your elbow in the appropriate place

And we ignored our others, happy plans
For that delicate look upon your face

Our bodies moved and hardened
Hurting parts of your garden
With no room for a pardon
In a place where no one knows what we have done

Do you come
Together ever with him?
And is he dark enough?
Enough to see your light?
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
Do you miss my smell?
And is he bold enough to take you on?
Do you feel like you belong?
And does he drive you wild?
Or just mildly free?
What about me?

Well you held me like a lover
Sweaty hands
And my foot in the appropriate place

And we use cushions to cover
Happy glands
In the mild issue of our disgrace

Our minds pressed and guarded
While our flesh disregarded
The lack of space for the light-hearted
In the boom that beats our drum

Well I know I make you cry
And I know sometimes you wanna die
But do you really feel alive without me?
If so, be free
If not, leave him for me
Before one of us has accidental babies
For we are in love

Do you come
Together ever with him?
Is he dark enough?
Enough to see your light?
Do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
Do you miss my smell?
And is he bold enough to take you on?
Do you feel like you belong?
And does he drive you wild?
Or just mildly free?

Come On Get Higher
Matt Nathanson

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
Make you believe
Make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the pull of your heart
I could taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Sing sha la la la
Sing sha la la la la

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love

It's all wrong, it's all wrong,
it's so right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

For anyone

else

with a birthday in August:

Trip Around The Sun
Jimmy Buffett and Martina McBride

Here I�m singin� happy birthday
Better think about the about the wish I make
This year gone by ain�t been a piece of cake
Everyday�s a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun

CHORUS

I�m just hangin� on while this old world keeps spinning
And it�s good to know it�s out of my control
If there�s one thing that I�ve learned from all this livin�
Is that it wouldn�t change a thing if I let go

No you never see it comin�
Always wind up wonderin� where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It�s another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun

CHORUS

I�m just hangin� on while this old world keeps spinning
And it�s good to know it�s out of my control
If there�s one thing that I�ve learned from all this livin�
Is that it wouldn�t change a thing if I let go

Yes I�ll make a resolution
That I�ll never make another one
Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun
Just enjoy this ride

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

I love this song a lot. It's my special song from Wife by her favorite band, and I've been listening to it non-stop since before Midsummer closed. It's so pretty and dreamy.

Row
The Rheostatics

All the clouds get together and watch.
All the trees gather around us
And grow up together and watch.
A stream, a succession, a parade
Of fists before teeth,
Before eyes and ideas are made.
... But the eyes that are borrowed are weak.
It's the ones that can't see
Are the ones who will know I am weak.

While the fighting gets done,
Nothing gets won.

And it is my nature to fight.
Whatever I've said is a challenge,
And it must be denied.
But it's easy to see no one wins.
If someone had won, we'd have heard long ago.
No one wins.

While the fighting gets done,
Nothing ever gets won.

All in a row
We will go.

Now there's nothing more to do.
Whatever I say,
I hear it fade away.

All the clouds get together and cry.
All the trees in the wind wave good-bye.
Bye, bye. All in a row.

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

Somethings Happening Here

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

MY LIFE
by Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(I never said)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Of cirumstance)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)

Sometimes it hurts me that he's so far away. This song reminds me of him.

In the Red
Tina Dico

It doesn�t matter where you�ve been � how far
It doesn�t matter how run down you are
Or if there�s nothing perfect left in your heart
No, it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all

I�ve told you every selfish lie I know
I�ve taken falls from dizzy heights - I�ve let go
But there is a simple truth to find below
Where it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all

I�m on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I�m in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There�s nothing else I can do
I�m in the red for you
Tonight, tonight
I�m on a rescue

Love is a thousand shades of grey � and we know
There�s not a safe or certain way to go
But when we�ve seen all, uneasiness and hate, it will show
That it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all

I�m on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I�m in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There�s nothing else I can do
I�m in the red for you
Tonight, tonight

Until my hopes fall through
There�s nothing else I can do I�m in the red for you
Tonight
I�m on a rescue....

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

And now, for something completely different...

Junior Birdman
Campfire Song

Up in the air junior birdman
Up in the air upside down
Up in the air junior birdman
Keep your noses off the ground

When you hear the grand announcement
that your wings are made of tin.
Then you know that Junior Birdman,
has turned his box tops in.

For it takes: 5 box tops,
4 bottle bottoms,
3 coupons,
2 wrappers,
and one thin dime!

B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d-m-a-n
Birdman, Birdman, Birdman
Buzzzzzzzz!

Revolution
John Lennon/Paul McCartney

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

This one's for Cranberry and the National City Bank

My City Was Gone
Crissy Hinde

I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
A, o, way to go Ohio

Well I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
A, o, oh way to go Ohio

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, a, o, oh way to go Ohio

This song was on the radio this morning. I love it. It is super depressing but it is the story of my life:

AND SO IT GOES

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time Ive held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
Its just as well for all Ive seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And youre the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
Thats if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And youre the only one who knows

Love if you can and be loved.&&&&You see what you look for, ya know?&&&&I like smiling, smiling's my favorite!

HEARTSICK

by No Vacancy

Heal me, I'm heartsick
I'm hungry and i'm broken
I'm haunted, and weeping
Theblood of heaven flowing like a river tonite, tears i can't fight on my own
I'm a haunted, heaving, i'm hung and barely breathing
The drowning ocean, snuff the sun in motion.
Theres a pill on my tongue, a shot from a gun , the bottles bottom
I'm lonely as a star

(Chorus)
So heal me, I'm heart sick
Hungry, but I can survive on you
Heal my heartsick hungry cries
I'm heartsick

Father, free me. Mama , woman, feed me.
Child of fury, lost his way but don't worry.
I won't stop til the dawn,
İ've been too long on the road I grow strong and restless as a stone

(Chorus)

*guitar solo*

Heal me
I'm heart sick
I'm hungry and I'm broken
I'm haunted, and weeping
The blood of heaven flowing like a river tonight
Tears I can't fight on my own

My Back Pages
Bob Dylan

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

TIME OF YOUR LIFE
by Green Day

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

(music break)

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

THE BALLAD OF THE THREE AMIGOS
by Randy Newman

One for each other
And all for one
The three
Brave Amigos are we
Brother to brother
And every one
A brave Amigo
We're fighting
For justice
And liberty
Wherever you find us
Is where we will be
For the three
Brave Amigos are we

We are the three Amigos
We are the three Amigos

Over the mountains,
Across the plains
The three
Brave Amigos are we
Stamping out evil
'Til none remains
The brave Amigos
The three brave Amigos
Wherever they need us,
Our destinies lead us
Amigos
We're always together
And wherever we go,
We're three brave Amigos
And we'll be
Amigos forever

We are the three Amigos
We are the three Amigos
We are the three Amigos
And Amigos forever
We'll be

Hair
Rado, Ragni

She asks me why, I'm just a hairy guy.
I'm hairy noon and night, hair that's a fright.
I'm hairy high and low, don't ask me why, don't know.
It's not for lack of bread, like the Grateful Dead.
Darlin'

Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair.
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen.
Give me down to there hair, shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there, momma, ev'rywhere, daddy, daddy.

hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair.Flow it, show it,long
as God can grow it, my hair.

Let it fly in the breeze and get
caught in the trees,give a home to the
fleas in my hair.
A home for fleas (yeah) a hive for bees (yeah),
a nest for birds, there ain't no words
for the beauty, the splendor, the
wonder of my:

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it,long as God can grow it, my hair

I want long, straight, curly, fuzzy,
snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty,
oily, greasy, fleecy, shining,
gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen,
knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided,
powered, flowered and confettied, bangled,
tangled, spangled and spaghettied.

HAIR!

O, Say, can you see my eyes?
If you can, then my hair's too short!
Down Here!
Down to There!
Down to Here!
Down to Where?
It stops by itself!

They'll be ga-ga at the go-go when they see me in my toga,
my toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair.
My hair like Jesus wore it, Hallelujah I
adore it, Hallelujah Mary loved her son,why
don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
long as God can grow it, my hair

"Older Chests" by Damien Rice

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line

Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same

Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems,
Louder than before
Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races too many times

She broke down the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
But some things they stay the same

Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time
Time, there's always time
On my mind
Pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Love if you can and be loved.&&&&You see what you look for, ya know?&&&&I like smiling, smiling's my favorite!

Holiday In Spain
by Counting Crows

Got no place to go
but there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico
She's got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin
And if I bring a little music I can fit right in
We've got airplane rides
We got California drowning out the window side
We've got big black cars
And we've got stories how we slept with all the movie stars
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drink my worries down the drain
And fly away to somewhere new
Hop on my choo-choo
I'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit
If you dress me up in pink and white
We may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight
She's my angel
She's a little better than the one that used to be with me
Cause she liked to scream at me
Man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
And fly away to someone new
Everybody's gone
They left the television screaming that the radio's on
Someone stole my shoes
But there's a couple of bananas and a bottle of booze
Oh, well happy new year's baby
We could probably fix it if we clean it up all day
Or we could simply pack our bags
And catch a plane to Barcelona 'cause this city's a drag
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Flush my worries down the drain
And fly away to somewhere new
Take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new

"sometimes our networks FAIL us!"
"Now that it's raining more that ever, know that we'll still have each other. Said I'd always be your friend, took an oath i'm gonna stick it out to the end"

"Dress Rehearsal Rag"
- Leonard Cohen

Four o'clock in the afternoon
and I didn't feel like very much.
I said to myself, "Where are you golden boy,
where is your famous golden touch?"
I thought you knew where
all of the elephants lie down,
I thought you were the crown prince
of all the wheels in Ivory Town.
Just take a look at your body now,
there's nothing much to save
and a bitter voice in the mirror cries,
"Hey, Prince, you need a shave."
Now if you can manage to get
your trembling fingers to behave,
why don't you try unwrapping
a stainless steel razor blade?

That's right, it's come to this,
yes it's come to this,
and wasn't it a long way down,
wasn't it a strange way down?

There's no hot water
and the cold is running thin.
Well, what do you expect from
the kind of places you've been living in?
Don't drink from that cup,
it's all caked and cracked along the rim.
That's not the electric light, my friend,
that is your vision growing dim.
Cover up your face with soap, there,
now you're Santa Claus.
And you've got a gift for anyone
who will give you his applause.
I thought you were a racing man,
ah, but you couldn't take the pace.
That's a funeral in the mirror
and it's stopping at your face.

That's right, it's come to this,
yes it's come to this,
and wasn't it a long way down,
ah wasn't it a strange way down?

Once there was a path
and a girl with chestnut hair,
and you passed the summers
picking all of the berries that grew there;
there were times she was a woman,
oh, there were times she was just a child,
and you held her in the shadows
where the raspberries grow wild.
And you climbed the twilight mountains
and you sang about the view,
and everywhere that you wandered
love seemed to go along with you.

That's a hard one to remember,
yes it makes you clench your fist.
And then the veins stand out like highways,
all along your wrist.

And yes it's come to this,
it's come to this,
and wasn't it a long way down,
wasn't it a strange way down?

You can still find a job,
go out and talk to a friend.
On the back of every magazine
there are those coupons you can send.
Why don't you join the Rosicrucians,
they can give you back your hope,
you can find your love with diagrams
on a plain brown envelope.
But you've used up all your coupons
except the one that seems
to be written on your wrist
along with several thousand dreams.
Now Santa Claus comes forward,
that's a razor in his mit;
and he puts on his dark glasses
and he shows you where to hit;
and then the cameras pan,
the stand in stunt man,

dress rehearsal rag,
it's just the dress rehearsal rag,
you know this dress rehearsal rag,
it's just a dress rehearsal rag.

I know these guys have been around for a good chunk of time, but I only just now sat down and really listened. So unbelievably good-- it strikes kind of a nostalgic chord with me for some reason as well as being AMAZING on its own.

Use Somebody
Kings of Leon

I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you,
And all you know,
And how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night,
while you live it up,
I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

I seen a girl on a one way corridor
Stealing down a wrong way street
For all the world like an urban toreador
She had wheels on on her feet
Well the cars do the usual dances
Sames old cruise and the kerbside crawl
But the rollergirl shes taking chances
They just love to see her take them all

No fears alone at night shes sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the musics playing loud

Hallelujah here she comes queens rollerball
Enchante what can I say dont care at all
You know she used to have to wait around
She used to be the lonely one
But now that she can skate around town
Shes the only one

No fears alone at night shes sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the musics playing loud

She gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
And a rock n roll dream
Shes making movies on location
She dont know what it means
But the music make her wanna be the story
And the story was whatever was the song what it was
Rollergirl dont worry
D.j. play the movies all night long

She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
She like to read their lips
Says toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my son
I swear she let a big truck graze her hip
She got her own world in the city
You cant intrude on her
She got her own world in the city
Cos the citys been so rude to her

Come slippin and a slidin
Lifes a rollerball
Slippin and a slidin
Skateaway thats all
Shala shalay hey hey skateaway
Shes singing shala shalay hey hey
Skateaway

For Iain:

Well I started out down a dirty r oad
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
The town lit up the world got still

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing

Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I started out for God kno ws where
But I guess Ill know when I get there

Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

Okay, another one for the boy:

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone

A soul intention, that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My brother Haley, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

I know I'm a little late, but once again, in honor of Thanksgiving, I offer the following:

Alice's Restaurant
By Arlo Guthrie

This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on
Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the
restaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the
church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of room downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room, seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time.

We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the city dump.

Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes we drove off into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.

We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of the cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pile is better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up we decided to throw our's down.

That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope under that garbage."

After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone we finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the police officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the police officer's station.

Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at the police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal for being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, and we didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us out and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again, which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was both immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid. Get in the back of the patrol car."

And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town of Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars, being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station. They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to mention the aerial photography.

After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was going to put us in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you want my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." I said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?" Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out the toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll the toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obie
was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice
(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), Alice came by....

Alice's Restaurant
By Arlo Guthrie

PART II

(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), Alice came by and with a few nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back to the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog. And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry, 'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but that's not what I came to tell you about.

Came to talk about the draft.

They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,
where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,
neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination one day, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. `Cause I wanted to look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wanted to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York, and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gave
me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604."

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

Didn't feel too good about it.

Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections,
detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me at the thing there, and I was there for two hours, three hours, four hours, I was there for a long time going through all kinds of mean nasty ugly things and I was just having a tough time there, and they was inspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving no part untouched. Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see the last man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big thing there, and I walked up and said, "What do you want?" He said, "Kid, we only got one question. Have you ever been arrested?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre, with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and all the phenome... - and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you ever go to court?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I want you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... NOW kid!!"

And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of
things, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it up and said:....

Alice's Restaurant
By Arlo Guthrie

PART III

"Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-know-details-o
f-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say-pertaini
ng-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-officer's-name-and-any-other-
kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we had fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there, and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it
down there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down the pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the other side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on the other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the following words:

("KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?")

I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington."

And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and sing it when it does. Here it comes.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud. I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part
harmony and feeling.

We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.

All right now.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

Da da da da da da da dum
At Alice's Restaurant

Happy Belated Thanksgiving, PAers one and all! Cheesy

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream (Bom bom bom bom)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (Bom bom bom bom)
Give him two lips like roses in clover (Bom bom bom bom)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I'm so alone (Bom bom bom bom)
Don't have nobody to call my own (Bom bom bom bom)
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom

Give him a pair of eyes with a "come hither" gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberacci!

Mister Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring us
Please, please, please
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream

We'd like to thank you: Herbert Hoover

We'd like to thank you: Herbert Hoover
You made us what we are today

Prosperity was 'round the corner
The cozy cottage built for two
In this blue heaven
That you

Yes! We're turning blue!

They offered us Al Smith and Hoover
We paid attention and we chose
Not only did we pay attention
We paid through the nose.

In ev'ry pt he said 'a chicken'
But Herbert Hoover he forgot
Not only don't we have the chicken
We ain't got the pot!

Hey Herbie

Women:
You left behind a grateful nation

All:
So, Herb, our hats are off to you
We're up to here with admiration

Sophie:
Come down and have a little stew

Come down and share some Christmas dinner
Be sure to bring the missus too
We got no turkey for our stuffing
Why don't we stuff you!

We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover
For really showing us the way
You dirty rat, you
Bureaucrat, you
Made us what we are today

Come and get it, Herb!

My mind is clearer now
At last
All too well
I can see
Where we all
Soon will be
If you strip away
The myth
From the man
You will see
Where we all
Soon will be

Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you
You really do believe
This talk of God is true

And all the good you've done
Will soon be swept away
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say

Listen Jesus
I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remember
I've been your right hand man all along
You have set them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong

I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then, we called you a man
And believe me
My admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

Nazareth's most famous son
Should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood
He'd have made good
Tables, chairs and oaken chests
Would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody harm
No one alarm

Listen Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied
Have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go too far
If we go too far

Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with ev'ry hour
All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful, but now it's sour
Yes it's all gone sour
Ah --- ah ah ah --- ah
God Jesus, it's all gone sour

Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
So come on, come on, listen to me.
Ah --- ah
Come on, listen, listen to me.
Come on and listen to me.
Ah --- ah

We have cobalt,
It's full of mercury,
Too many fumes in our oxygen,
And the smog, now
Is killing you and me,
Good Lord, when is it going to end?

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Bless you, alcohol bloodstream
Save me, nicotine lung steam

Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide

Where there's a whip,
There's a way.

Where's there's a whip,
There's a way.

We don't wanna go to war today,
But the Lord of the Nazgul
Says "Nay! Nay! Nay!"
We're gonna march
All day, all day, all day . . .

Where there's a whip there's a way.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives

We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot

It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.

The sun is large

If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away

About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

And even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day

The sun gives heat
The sun gives light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?

   Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
   Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
   Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
   And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

   Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,

Little Victories
Matt Nathanson

This time, I'll be sailing
No more bailing boats for me
I'll be out here on the sea
Just my confidence and me

And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
But I'll learn to get by
On the little victories

This time, I'll have no fear
I'll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all

And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
I'll learn to get by
And I'll learn to get by
On the little victories
And if the world decides to catch up with me
It's a little victory.

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

On a scale of one to awesome, I'm the shit.

Into The West

Lay down,
your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey�s end.

Sleep now, and dream
of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across a distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see.
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
you�re only sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
All souls pass.

Hope fades,
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.

Don�t say,
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.
And you�ll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
Grey ships pass
Into the West.

I can't stop listening to this song but I cry every time I hear it. Who knows.

Girl In the War
Josh Ritter

Peter said to Paul you know all those words we wrote
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go
But now talking to God is Laurel begging Hardy for a gun
I got a girl in the war man I wonder what it is we done

Paul said to Peter you got to rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
But I got a girl in the war Paul the only thing I know to do
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

Because the keys to the Kingdom got lost inside the Kingdom
And the angels fly around in there but we can�t see them
I got a girl in the war Paul I know that they can hear me yell
If they can�t find a way to help her they can go to Hell
If they can�t find a way to help her they can go to Hell

Paul said to Peter you got to rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
But I got a girl in the war Paul her eyes are like champagne
They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain
They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain
They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

"Vanilla Ice Cream" by Steven Lynch

Have a seat and listen, please don't say a thing.
In matters of the heart, sometimes the truth will have a sting.
Just don't take it personally, this is no attack,
But we will never last, because I'm white, and you are...

ALSO WHITE!!!

I only like black girls, the brown girls, the cafe ole.
The caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away.
If you are nubian
I want you to be in
Every fantasy,
But if you're a whitey,
Say nightey-nightey,
You're just not the girl for me.

Oh, I hate vanilla ice cream, I like chocolate instead.
I hope she likes her soul food with a little wonder bread!
Don't call it Jungle Fever, cause that just isn't right.
I am NOT a racist; some of my best friends are white.

I just prefer black girls, and brown girls, the cafe ole.
The caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away.
If you're a cracker,
You'd better get blacker,
Or else you'd best get out!
It is no mystery,
I like the sisters, see,
That's what I'm talkin' about...

Oh, our wedding song will be "Ebony and Ivory",
And we'll sing Christmas carols 'round the old Quanza tree.
But color is not the issue here; it's dignity, it's class.
It's all about her heart... OK, it's partly about that ass!

I want me some black girls, and brown girls, the cafe ole.
The caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away.
Get off your knees, honky please! That is SO uncouth.
The skin that she's dwellin' in MUST contain mellanin, that is the fountain of youth.

"The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty and to someone else if she is plain."

Her Morning Elegance
Oren Lavie

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in it's case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

Sunday Morning
Maroon 5

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

And you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. �Cuz how can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum?!

Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother
Jerry Jeff Walker

He was born in Oklahoma,
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is.

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for REDNECK.

Up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Uncomfortably Slow
Newton Faulkner

Travelling again
I know exactly how it's gonna end
The routine day dream starts as I get off
I'm holding up the queue
Because my ticket won't go through
I know it should be simple but it's not

So don't take my photograph
'Cause I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I'm just moving uncomfortably slow

Something's gotta change
I know i'm lucky in a lot of ways
So why do I want more
Than what I have?
Brace myself to hear the lies
I wonder if they know that I
Don't get the jokes but I just
Need to laugh

So don't take my photograph
'Cause I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I'm just moving uncomfortably slow

I'm just moving uncomfortably
Slow down
There's infinite detail
When you break it down
It all becomes simple how
It all becomes clearer now

So don't take my photograph
'Cause I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I'm just moving sub-consciously
One day I guess i'll be
The man that you think you see
I'm just moving uncomfortably slow

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello".
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so,
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well -
Well, you don't know me.

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night,
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight.
Oh-oh, I'm just a friend,
That's all I've ever been -
'Cause you don't know me.

For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I-I've let my chance go by,
A chance that you might love me too.

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Goodbye".
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy.
Oh, to never, never know
The one who loves you so -
Well, you don't know me.

Love if you can and be loved.&&&&You see what you look for, ya know?&&&&I like smiling, smiling's my favorite!

This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, and yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent
and just like that river, I've been runnin' ever since.

It's been a long, long time coming,
but I know
Change gonna come.
Yes it will.

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
because I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.

It's been a long, long time coming,
but I know
Change gonna come.
Yes it will.

Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother, help me please."
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees.

There've been times I thought I couldn't last for long,
But now I think I'm able to carry on.

It's been a long, long time coming
but I know
Change gonna come.
Yes it will.

Time Will Welcome Anything
The Whispertown 2000

Nothing stays the same as it was
It gets better, it gets worse, yes it does
There's a time to take a punch
There's a time to take a swing
But time will welcome anything

And though giving in has never been my calling,
I have hung onto the wildest of my falling
I could keep on hanging on
Like rope, and turn to string
'Cause time will welcome anything

And I'm sorry for my friends that know my shadows
But I'm grateful that there's nothing I can hide
You can write it off and give it up,
Let it go, swallow the key
But time will welcome anything

'Aint nobody gonna tell you right from wrong,
'Aint nobody gonna be there when they're done
But time will welcome anything
Yes, time will welcome anything

Nothing stays the same as it was
It gets better, it gets better, yes it does
There's a time to take a punch
There's a time to take a swing
But time will welcome anything

Yes, time will welcome everything

Viva la Vida
Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I haven't a clue what it's about, but I think they mean me.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying around with in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up!

As long as I don't bleed or cry, I'll do it!

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round round
Look around round round
Oh look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
