Space And Time
There ain't no space and time
To keep our love alive
We have existense and it's all we share
There ain't no real truth
There ain't no real lies
Keep on pushin' 'cause I know it's there
Oh, can you just tell me
It's all right (It's all right)
Let me sleep tonight
Oh, can you comfort me
Tonight (It's all right)
Make it all seem fine
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
There'll be no lullabies
There'll be no tears cried
We feel numb 'cause we don't see
That if we really care
And we really loved
Think of all the joy we'd feel
Oh, can you just tell me
It's all right (It's all right)
Let me sleep tonight
Oh, can you comfort me
Tonight (It's all right)
Make it all seem fine
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
Ain't got no lullaby, no, no
Ain't got no lullaby, oh, no
There is no space and time
Oh lord
There is no space and time
Oh lord
We have existense and it's all we share
We have existense and it's all we share
We have existense and it's all we share
We have existense and it's all we share
We have existense and it's all we share
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there

Somewhere Only We Know
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?
(break)
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
So why don't we go
HmmmaaaAAAA.....Ahhhoooooo....
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?

Truly - Delerium ft. Narina Pallot
I know good things, I know bad as well
Any witness to the world will tell
If there is sorrow, then there is beauty and trust
A secret pearl inside the heart of us...
So truly, if there's light then I want to see it
Now that I know what I am looking for
Truly, if there;s joy then I want to feel it
Here in this world is where I want to be
'Cause I can't cry anymore
And there is magic now, under blood red trees,
All the sky will scream a mystery
And if we're strangers here, from the day we are born
Why be afraid of freedom if it is yours?
So truly, if there's light then I want to see it
Now that I know what I am looking for
Truly, if there;s joy then I want to feel it
Here in this world is where I want to be
'Cause I can't cry anymore
All the world is calling, calling out my name
All the world is saying it won't be the same
All the sky is showing how it;s gonna be
But I'm scared and I'm tired of being like me...
So truly, if there's light then I want to see it
Now that I know what I am looking for
Truly, if there;s joy then I want to feel it
Here in this world is where I want to be
'Cause I can't cry anymore

State Of The Union - David Ford
Sweet dreams all met with derision
This train, it was armed for collision
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Clap your hands in the sparkle and glitter
Shake your heads at the twisted and bitter
Oh they don't know how lucky they are
Foot down for the alienation
Look on as your love, its gets lost in translation
To a language that nobody understands
There are smiles as they erode and corrupt you
Of the great expectations you could never live up to
We are lost, we are lost, we are lost
get you coat, 'cos the righteous are leaving
'Cos they can't work out what the hell to believe in
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
No abandon, no heartfelt desire
No love could be worth getting fired
For real, it's surreal, it's so real
So paint over the cracks and then cover
What you thought was the worst ever pain with another
And the first one, it always comes free
How they love you so cold and so vicious
With friends like these, well who needs politicians
The first one, its always comes free
They tell you heroin takes like ice cream
Clever men know all that and all this
And they will talk and they talk and the don't fucking listen
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
It's no life but God, it's a living
Come on Jesus Christ, come back all is forgiven
We are lost, we are lost, we are lost
Have no fear of the state of the nation
Let the facts have no bearing on public relations
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
What a model of Christian behaviour
Preach on with the message of "go fuck thy neighbour"
it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
it's a shame, it's a shame
Watch your step by the crowd of fanatics
While they kill in the name of applied mathematics
Hate the system even though you invented it
Go kill your brothers and claim self defence of it
Picking up all the secrets and tricks to being
One of the guys whom the shit never sticks to
Take you seats for the final calamity
Don't you look serious, hell, what can the matter be?
Another day and the rot's getting faster
And all the machines started killing the master
it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame

Thanks penguin! I am going out to buy David Ford right now.

Cd So
Don't Give Up
in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong
rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up
'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing
moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs
don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong

Is It Any Wonder
I...
I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
be living in the kingdom of the good and true
It's so long that now I think 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.
Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm
stranded in the wrong time
where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme.
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?
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?

Hoobastank - The Reason
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
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

Who hasnt has a partner, a friend, a lover, boy/girlfriend who was horrible to us and for us.. but for reasons known only to our soul, we resonated to them and gave them all they wanted, even if it was all our money, all our heart, our soul, our health... and sang their praises while they fed on us, and mourned their loss when we were dry and they were gone?
Rufus Wainwright
Song: Hallelujah
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?
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
Hallelu---u---jah
-
jk, that song is one of my favourites...even if I do need to have a box of tissues on standby every time i listen to it!
I like "You Could Be Happy" by Snowpatrol, a very poignant commentary on how love doesn't cease...
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 loops '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
Kate (feeling strangely reflective)

I love that song by snow patrol. Listen to it quite a bit.

Pink
"I'm Not Dead"
Dear Mr. President
Dear Mr. President come take a walk with me
Let's pretend,we're just two people-You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions,if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror-Are you proud
How do sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye,and tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy-Are you a lonely boy
How can you say"no child left behind"We're not dumb,and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells-While you pave the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father would hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'

I really like Pink's latest album...lots of energy and attitude, and honest lyrics! I'm going to see her live (as opposed to dead :) ) in October, which I'm looking forward to.
Thanks for posting that!

Title: Stay
Find the man you want,
Hes got all you need and more,
When I go South again,
Hell be waiting at your door.
And when you breathe that way,
Because you want me to stay up,
Count the lipstick stains,
That you get on all my cups.
And when the right time comes,
Ill be what youve grown to hate,
Like your high school crush,
Made you pass your papers in late.
Well you can stay if you want to,
But you cant sleep in my bed,
Yeah you can stay if you want to,
But you cant sleep in my bed

Yet another floaty female vocal trance track.
"Can't Sleep - Above & Beyond"
Four thirty A.M, I'm awake again
Singing to the dark through open eyes
While dreaming I see only you and me
Stuck between desire and compromise
If I said I want you back I'd be a liar
There's nothing left of us to long for anymore
But inside the ashes burns an endless fire
And every night I can't help reaching out for more
And I can't sleep... You're so far away from me
And I can't sleep... And I can't sleep
And I can't sleep... You're so far away from me
And I can't sleep... And I can't sleep
You're leaving these scars scattered round my heart
A road map of all the places you have been
but I can't escape, can't wash this away
when love has burned your mark so deep within
If I said I want you back I'd be a liar
There's nothing left of us to long for anymore
But inside the ashes burns an endless fire
And every night I can't help reaching out for more
And I can't sleep... You're so far away from me
And I can't sleep... And I can't sleep
And I can't sleep... You're so far away from me
And I can't sleep... And I can't sleep

Can I post another Keane song? My favourite song, maybe ever
"She Has No Time"
You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
Think about the lonely people
Then think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
Lonely people tumble downwards
My heart opens up to you
When she says
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
-
I like Keane a lot. Listen to the cd Hopes & Fears all the time. Anxiously awaiting the relase of Under The Iron Sea on the 20th.
In the meantime here is a blast from the past: WOW! I can't believe this song is 20yrs old!
Artist-The Smiths
Album- The Queen Is Dead (1986)
The Queen Is Dead
Farewell to this land's cheerless marshes
Hemmed in like a boar between arches
Her very lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry - but it sounds like a wonderful thing
Dear Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your mother's bridal veil?
So I checked all the registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
How I'm the 18th pale descendant
Of some old queen or other
Has the world changed or have I changed?
Has the world changed or have I changed?
As some 9-year old tough peddles drugs
(I swear I never even knew what drugs WERE)
And so, I broke into the Palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said, "Eh, I know you and you cannot sing."
I said, "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano."
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
*But when you're tied to your mother's apron
No-one talks about castration*
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
Like love and law and poverty
These are the things that kill me
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
But the rain that flattens my hair
These are things that kill me
Past the Pub that saps your body
And the church who'll snatch your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it's so lonely on a limb
Past the Pub that wrecks your body
And the church - all they want is your money
The Queen is dead, boys
You can trust me, boys
(life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely)

Oscar, I have under the iron sea already- I got it a week or so ago
I think its on itunes to download, it is for me anyway, maybe if you are in USA its different
Its not as good as the last album, but it is growing on me
Im quite an avid piano player you see, so I love their style.
I also love the smiths! My favourite song is heaven knows Im miserable now, it totally sums me up!
-
I knew it was on I-tunes but I wanna buy it in the store. I rarely like the new recording of a band I really like until I hear it a couple of times. Hopes & Fears is a such a great album it will be hard for Keane to follow it up with Under The Iron Sea. Listen to the new one a few more times I bet you learn to love it as much as Hopes & Fears. At least I hope you do.
-
Hope so too!
There are quite a lot of good tunes on it, it just doesnt have the rawness of hopes and fears if that makes sense?
I must try to get a ticket to see them playing- I have to admit to having a wee crush on the lead singer :-[

What Hurts The Most
written by: Steve Robson/Jeffrey Steele
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That dont bother me
I can take a few tears that Ive got
And just let them out
But Im not afraid to cry
Every once in a while
Even though going on with you still upsets me
Ever days
Every now and again I pretend Im ok
But thats not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

I have only heard the song "Is It Any Wonder" so I can't comment on the rest of the album yet. God I wish Tuesday would hurry up and get here.
I have a "crush" on the drummer he looks dreamy... I want to see them live too, but I doubt they come anywhere near me.

CD- Under The Iron Sea (2006)
Nothing In My Way
A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
Why do you laugh
When I know you hurt inside ?
And why do you say
" It's just another day
Nothing in my way
I don't want to go
I don't want to stay
So there's nothing left to say?"
And why do you lie
When you want to die
When you hurt inside ?
Don't know why you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line
And why do you say
" It's just another day
Nothing in my way
I don't want to go
I don't want to stay
So there's nothing left to say?"
And why do you lie
When you want to die
When you hurt inside ?
Don't know why you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
Well for a lonely soul you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul it seems to me
that your having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

Album: Eye To The Telescope
Year: 2005
Title: Other Side Of The World
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world to me
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world
Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore
And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
You're on the other side of the world to me

I Love The Rain The Most (When It Stops) - Joe Purdy
Well, I love the rain the most when it stops
We can see the big white houses, yeah, and the docks
And we can jump in the river, don't know if the water or sky is clearer
But I know that I love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah, when it stops
No more grey today, we gonna celebrate
You know Miss Sunshine, she starts to paint a perfect picture of this river parade
And I know that I love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah, when it stops
Well, the dark waves, they start singing together
I can't believe this change in the weather
I start to hum a child's rhyme
And all these boats, they start rocking in time
And I love the rain the most when it stops
Yes, we love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah when it stops
The summer is coming to an end
We ain't gonna let that slow us down one bit
Til that sunset will start to fade
They're gonna drag us screaming from these old riverbanks
We love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah, when it stops
When it stops, when it stops, when it stops...
Yeah, when it stops
I think you've had a little too much too drink
Let me help with that
Don't forget to tie the boat up
Not that way, no it's a figure eight, yeah
Yeah when it stops...
The rain, when it stops...

Rummaging through some old cd's I came across Clannad & Paul Young (the best version of this song!)
Both sides now:
Rolls and flows of angel hair,
Ice cream castles in the air,
Feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun.
They rain, they snow on everyone.
So many things I would've done
But clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real.
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show.
Leave 'em laughin' when you go.
But if you care, don't let em' know
Don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
Say I love you right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange.
They shake their heads and say I've changed.
But something's lost when somethings gained
Living everyday.
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.

Fly Like A Bird
written by: Mariah Carey/Wright, J
Somehow I know that
There's a place up above
With no more hurt and struggling
Free of all atrocities and suffering
Because I feel the unconditional love
From one who cares enough for me
To erase all my burdens
And let me be free to
[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of you by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you'll come and carry me home
Can we recover
Will the world ever be
A place of peace and harmony
With no war and with no brutality
If we loved each other
We would find victory
But in this harsh reality
Sometimes I'm so despondant
That I feel the need to
[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need You now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You'll come and carry me home
Keep your head to the sky
With God's love you'll survive
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You'll come and carry me home
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me home
Higher Jesus
Carry me higher Lord

Against All Odds
written by: Phil Collins *
So take a look at me now
Oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

God's Will
written by: Barry Dean/Tommy Douglas
Hey Jude was his favorite song
At dinner he'd ask to pray
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him
[Chorus:]
I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother's miracle
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah, that was until
I knew God's Will

Rummaging through some old cd's I came across Clannad & Paul Young (the best version of this song!)
Both sides now:
This really is a great song...but the C&PY version is a little too slow for me...I much prefer the version sung by Joan Collins.

Black Magic
I woke up in the morning
and all the bells were ringing
My eyes could see the glory
Baby
Could hear the song they're singing
You only get to see the light
just one time in your life
Oh, black magic
that blows your mind away
and takes you somewhere that you wanna stay
You only get to stay one day
Oh, that cold black magic
Is there anything more wretched
than to just have caught one sight?
The eyes that saw the glory have been
have been blinded by the light
And it's the true believers that crash and burn
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna learn
Black magic
that blows your mind away
and takes you somewhere that you wanna stay
Oh, you only get to stay one day
Oh, that cold black magic
Ow
We can't escape; we're born to die
But I'm gonna give it a real good try
because nothing comes close and nothing can compare
to black magic
Yeah yeah yeah

Heavy Weather
This morning it was summer
By noon a cold front building
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I got to find some shelter
'Cos any minute now
it's gonna blow
It's gonna blow
But I don't mind the rain
So strike me once again:
I've got nothing to lose
And it looks like we are in for stormy weather
with death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you
And watch out 'cos the storm is coming through
But you're so still and silent
Whilst everything's dissolving
Melting away, melting away
But I don't mind the rain
So strike me once again
I got nothing to lose
Yeah, it looks like we are in for stormy weather
with death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you
Oh and it looks like we are in for stormy weather
with death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you
And watch out 'cos this storm is coming through
Yeah, watch out 'cos the storm is coming through

Song: Building A Mystery
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Ooh you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You're building a mystery

Song: Without You
Without you...
Without you...
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
If I could relive my life
I know what I would change
All the times I made you cry
All my thoughts that caused you pain.
I know "I'm sorry" is not big enough
to tell you how wrong I've been
But I don't know where to start
to live my life without you...
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
Without you...
Without you...
As the days go passing by
My feelings stay the same
I have you always on my mind
I'm living constantly in pain
I know I really should be moving on
but the memories won't go away
I have you always in my heart
and when I close my eyes I find you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on (and I can't go on) without you.
Without you...
Without you...

Song: Hash Pipe
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
These players come to get me 'cause they'd like my behind
I can't love my business if I can't get a trick
Down on Santa Monica where tricks are for kids
Oh, come on and kick me
Oh, come on and kick me
Come on and kick me
You've got your problems
I've got my ass wide
You've got your big G's
I've got my hash pipe
I can't help my boogies they get out of control
I know that you don't care but I want you to know
The knee-stocking flavor is a favorite treat
Of men that don't bother with the taste of a teat
Oh, come on and kick me
Oh, come on and kick me
Come on and kick me
You've got your problems
I've got my ass wide
You've got your big G's
I've got my hash pipe
I've got my hash pipe
Oh, come on and kick me
Oh, come on and kick me
Come on and kick me
You've got your problems
I've got my ass wide
You've got your big G's
I've got my hash pipe
I've got my hash pipe
I've got my hash pipe
I've got my hash pipe

OK one more:
Artist: Laurie Anderson
Song: Same time tiomorrow
You know that little clock, the one on your VCR, the one that's always blinking twelve noon 'cause you never figured out how to get in there and change it? So it's always the same time, just the way it came from the factory. Good morning. Good night. Same time tomorrow. We're in record.
Ooohaaa
Ooohaaa
So here are the questions: is time long or is it wide? And the answers? Sometimes the answers just come in the mail. And one day you get that letter you've been waiting for forever. And everything it says is true. And then in the last line it says: burn this.
Ooohaaa
Ooohaaa
Ooohaaa
And I what I really want to know is: are things getting better or are they getting worse?
Stop, stop. Pause, pause. We're in record.
Because history's stories that we have remembered, and most of them never even get written down. And so when they say things like "We're gonna do this by the book", you have to ask "What book?", because it would make a big difference if it was Dostoyevsky or just, you know, Ivanhoe.
Ooohaaa
Ooohaaa
I remember where I came from; there were burning buildings and a fiery red sea. I remember all my lovers. I remember how they held me.
Ooohaaa
Ooohaaa
East, East. The edge of the world.
West, West. Those who came before me.
We're in record.
Ooohaaa
Come here little girl. Get into the car. It's a brand new Cadillac. Bright red.
Come here little girl.
Ooohaaa
Ooohaaa
When my father died we put him in the ground.
When my father died it was like a whole library had burned down.
Stop, stop. Pause, pause.
Ooohaaa
Ooohaaa
Same time tomorrow.
And wild beasts shall rest there
And owls shall answer one another there
And the hairy ones shall dance there
And sirens in the temples of pleasure
Speak my language.
Good night.

Just like Tom Thumb's Blues....Robert Zimmerman
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don't pull you through
Don't put on any airs
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess outa you
Now if you see Saint Annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
My fingers are all in a knot
I don't have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend, my doctor
Won't even say what it is I've got
Sweet Melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
And she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon
Up on Housing Project Hill
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
If you're lookin' to get silly
You better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don't need you
And man they expect the same
Now all the authorities
They just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
Into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who
Just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking just like a ghost
I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
When the game got rough
But the joke was on me
There was nobody even there to call my bluff
I'm going back to New York City
I do believe I've had enough
-
Laurie Anderson - Walking & Falling
I wanted you.
And I was looking for you.
But I couldn't find you.
I wanted you.
And I was looking for you all day.
But I couldn't find you.
I couldn't find you.
You're walking.
And you don't always realize it, but you're always falling.
With each step you fall forward slightly.
And then catch yourself from falling.
Over and over, you're falling.
And then catching yourself from falling.
And this is how you can be walking and falling at the same time.

Flickering Flame
(Roger Waters)
When my neurons conspire to direct my thoughts
Away from divorce and competitive sports
Back to the place where all rivers run to the sea
Then I shall be free
Yes I shall be free
On a see-saw in a strange land
The jackdaw sat on the Cardinal's hand
And the fiddlers played
And the planners plan what would be
On a back seat in a court room
Sat Molly Malone and Leopold Bloom
Until the police came down with a new broom
And swept them clean
Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
Like the Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho
Like Crazy Horse
I'll be the last one to lay down my gun
On the open road in a bar room
A pick up band plays a new tune
When the coloured girls sing
I feel my heart boom
When a new song hits the right note
When a clearing sky saves an old boat
When an insight strikes the mote
From mine own eye
Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
Like the Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho
Like Crazy Horse
I'll be the last one to lay down my gun
Just out of sight
Beyond the next range
I'll feel the heat of a flickering flame
On an African Plain by a thorn tree
My old friend Philippe is waiting for me
Que cera, cera
What ever will be will be
When a friend dies and the tears rise
From that deep well that never runs dry
And the women break their bracelets
And the men take their whisky outside
In a pied-a-terre on the rue St Denis
The red velvet curtain pulls back to reveal
The place where the dark side meets the angel in me
The angel in me
When my synapses pause in my quest for applause
When my ego lets go of my end of the bone
To focus instead on the love that is precious to me
Then I shall be free
I shall be free
-
Wooly Muffler
(Harvey Danger)
All I ever wanted to be was a woolly muffler on your naked neck
Double wrap me when it's cold
But you pulled a little tight just now
And I'm afraid I feel a choke hold coming on
All I ever thought we might come to was second dates
And flirting eyebrows
Or maybe even psychic friends
And we could share a secret language
And almost definitely make more of it
Than it was
But everyone around us would know
Everyone watching would know
This is not a walk with walking wounded
Here's the ball, here's the pole, now where's the tether?
Where's the tether?
Hands can grow together
If you're not careful or grateful or whatever
And I never much cared much too much to begin with
I will not take your possibilities under my care
I will not see you on the bus
You want me to hold your hand
It's a courtship I can't stand
And here I thought you were crying because you were happy
But no no no
Friends will turn against you
People disappoint you every time
So if you've got greatness in you would you do us all a favor
And keep it to yourself?
Keep it
Keep it to yourself
A labored expat fantasy:
Quit your job and move away with me
Oh what bliss it would be
To pretend we never met
I'm elated now
I'm elated now
I'm elated now
I'm elated now

The Life Is The Red Wagon
(Jane Siberry)
you watch the slow train moving
through the city late at night
adjusting back and forth
against the darkness and street lights
I know that you're feeling bad
but I'm glad you didn't lie
easy to get caught up...but you know
you can always you can always
you can always walk away
the life is the red wagon rolling along
the life is the red wagon simple and strong
the life is the red...is the red...
oh, it's no big deal
but when the feet are draggin'
you pull me
and I pull for you
you pull me
and I pull for you
past the teeming marketplace
and the blur of faces there
past the silent dockyards
and the darkness looming there
maybe it won't work this time
but that's the risk you take
(and you want to take it)
and just as long as it feels right
doesn't matter just as long as...
doesn't matter ...gotta feel good
even though you don't know why
the life is the red wagon rolling along
the life is the red wagon simple and strong
the life is the red...is the red...
oh, it's no big deal
but when the feet are draggin'
you pull me
and i pull for you
you pull me
and i pull for you
the life is the red wagon
simple and strong.

Everything Must Change
(Oleta Adams- in this case...originally from Babs?)
Everything must change
nothing stays the same
everyone must change
no one stays the same
the young become the old
and mysteries do unfold
cause that's the way of time
nothing and no one goes unchanged
there are not many things in life
you can be sure of
except rain comes from the clouds
sun lights up the sky
and hummingbirds do fly
winter turns to spring
a wounded heart will heal
but never much too soon
yes
everything must change
the young become the old
and mysteries do unfold
cause that's the way of time
nothing and no one goes unchanged
there are not many things in life
you can be sure of
except rain comes from the clouds
sun lights up the sky
and butterflies do fly
rain comes from the clouds
sun lights up the sky
and music
and music
makes me cry
-
We are ALL a part of the unfolding.

Flower
(Liz Phair. Also done by Pansy Division)
Every time I see your face
I get all wet between my legs
Every time you pass me by
I heave a sigh of pain
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
Ill take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of is
Everything Ill do to you Ill fuck you and your minions too
Your face reminds me of a flower
Kind of like youre underwater
Hairs too long and in your eyes
Your lips- a perfect suck me size
You act like youre fourteen years old
Everything you say is so
Obnoxious, funny, rude and mean
I want to be your blowjob queen
Youre probably shy and introspective
Thats not part of my objective
I just want your fresh young jimmy
Jamming slamming ramming in me
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog Ill take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of is
Everything Ill do to you
Ill fuck you til your dick is blue

How Can You Live In The Northeast?
We heard the fireworks
Rushed out to watch the sky,
Happy go lucky, fourth of July
How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river
When the flood water pours from the mouth?
How can you be a Christian?
How can you be a Jew?
How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?
How can you?
Weak as the winter sun, we enter life on earth.
Names and religion comes just after date of birth.
Then everybody gets a tongue to speak,
And everyone hears an inner voice,
A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoice.
If the answer is infinite light
Why do we sleep in the dark?
How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river?
When the flood water pours from the mouth?
How can you tattoo your body?
Why do you cover your head?
How can you eat from a rice bowl
The holy man only breaks bread?
We watched the fireworks 'til they were fireflies.
Followed a path of stars over the endless skies.
How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river
When the flood water pours from the mouth, from the mouth?
I've been given all I wanted,
Only three generations off the boat.
I've harvested and I've planted.
I'm wearing my father's old coat

Outrageous
It's outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor.
Outrageous the crime some human beings must endure.
It's a blessing to wash your face in the summer solstice rain.
It's outrageous a man like me stand here and complain.
But I'm tired, nine hundred sit-ups a day.
I'm painting my hair the colour of mud, mud, okay?
I'm tired, tired
Anybody care what I say? No!
I'm painting my hair the colour of mud.
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Aw, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
It's outrageous the food they try to serve in a public school.
Outrageous, the way they talk to you like you're some kind of clinical fool
It's a blessing to rest my head in the circle of your love.
It's outrageous I can't stop thinking about the things I'm thinking of.
And I'm tired, nine hundred sit-ups a day.
I'm painting my hair the colour of mud, mud, okay?
I'm tired, tired, anybody care what I say? No!
Painting my hair the colour of mud.
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
God will,
Like he waters the flowers on your window sill.
Take me, I'm an ordinary player in the key of C,
And my will was broken by my pride and my vanity
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
God will,
Like he waters the flowers on your window sill.

Artist: Abc
Song: Hey citizen
Album: Beauty Stab
[" Beauty Stab " CD]
Here they come,
Slumming their way outta the Jacuzzi,
Well, I've lived in a slum, sugar plum,
Hit and run
And it did not amuse me
There they go,
Moving around on the radio,
Well I've been on that show,
Reap and sow, feed and grow
And it did not amuse me
Hey Citizen! Hey American!
Hey Russian! Hey Citizen!
Beauty stab,
When the good things in life
Have all grown bad,
The cat's out the bag
Smash and grab, burn the flag
And didn't it fool me throw it out,
It's not worth the paper it's written on
No ifs and buts,
Spending cuts, cheaper smut,
They say they could use me
All through summer,
There's no glamour in the slammer,
No glamour in the slammer,
Until you make a run
All through summer, the splendours
Pretty slender
The splendours pretty slender
Until you make a run
Here they come,
Slumming their way out of the Jacuzzi,
Well I've lived in a slum, sugar plum,
Hit and run and it did not amuse me
There they go,
Grooving around on the radio
Well I've been on that show, reap and sow
Feed and grow, and it didn't amuse me
Hey villager! Hey Citizen!
Hey Countryman! Hey, now listen!
Hey Chinaman! Hey European!
Hey Russian! Hey American!
Hey Cowboy! Hey Indian!
Hey anyway! Hey, hey, hey Citizen!

Snow In San Anselmo
(Van Morrison)
Snow in San Anselmo
The deer cross by the lights
The mission down in old San Rafael
A madman looking for a fight
A madman looking for a fight
The massage parlor's open
The clientele come and they go
The classic music station
Plays in the background soft and low
Plays in the background soft and low
The silence round the cascades
The ice crisp and clear
The beginning of the opera
Seem to suddenly appear
Seem to suddenly appear
The pancake house is always crowded
Open 24 hours of every day
And if you suffer from insomnia
You can speed your time away
You can speed your time away
Snow in San Anselmo
My waitress my waitress my waitress
Said it was coming down
Said it hadn't happened in over 30 years
But it was laying on the ground
But it was laying on the ground

Cunts Are Still Running The World
Well did you hear, theres a natural order.
Those most deserving will end up with the most.
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top,
Well I say: Shit floats.
If you thought things had changed,
Friend youd better think again,
Bluntly put in the fewest of words,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Now the working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to societies needs,
So let em all kill each other,
And get it made overseas.
Thats the word dont you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Oh feed your children on Cray fish and Lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill ya if you move in next to me,
Ah it stinks, it sucks, its anthropologically unjust,
But the takings are up by a third, Oh So
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Your free market is perfectly natural,
Or do you think that Im some kind of dummy,
Its the ideal way to order the world,
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?
And if you dont like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your rights but dont imagine that its heard, Oh no no,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

My roommate and I have made this our "driving home from the bars" song. We play it very loudly... even when we're not riding home from the bars. We danced in the car to it this afternoon.
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin, joined the ice capades
And oh, I don't know why oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Second verse, same as the first
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin, joined the ice capades
And oh, I don't know why oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Third verse, different from the first
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Frisco, joined the SLA
And oh, I don't know why oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah perhaps they'll die, oh yeah

(Dead Kennedys)
Peggy Sue
Got pregnant
And was addicted to fifteen drugs
She went down
To the abortion clinic
And was accosted
By right wing thugs
Oh will the fetus
Be aborted

Home awaiting
In the sky Lord

"Have that baby"
But another choice
She had
Oh will the fetus
Be aborted
By and by Lord
By and by
There's a better
Home awaiting
In the sky Lord

Would kill her
Doctor's warning

My right to life"
Oh will the fetus
Be aborted

There's a better
Home awaiting

1967
(Adrian Belew)
Last night
I took a walk into the back of my mind
Through the trash and the warning signs
There was a party full of jokes and cliche's
I couldn't think of anything to say
And so I slipped into the men's room there
I saw my hair a way it's never been before
I took the stairs from my head to my heart
I didn't know they were so far apart
The heart is like a little chapel somewhere,
The pretty lights and the empty chairs
But I'm gonna bring a broom next time
I'll sweep out all the broken strings I find
She walks me down to my private train
And lays me down in my sleeping car
She keeps my elephant out of the rain
And sees to the care of my vintage cars
She is the blood of my life
Without her I would starve
Who you gonna run to?
Who you gonna hide behind?
Who you gonna turn to
When there's nobody home but you?
What's a father to do
With all theses school-less injuns
Running in circles around the wagons?
What's a father to do
With all these monster debts
Around my neck
On a sad sun deck?
Oh, my children, the times are jaded
The simple life is complicated
Oh, my children
Now if the dark of the night
Arrives in the middle of the day
I'm gonna say my prayer
For sweetness and light,
Gonna fix myself a coke,
And hope it's alright
If the bat-winged beast sweep down
For a feast on me
I'm gonna pin my soul
To a hot-air balloon
Gonna make it pop
And shoot me to the moon
Now you've had another piece of my mind,
A cup of coffee and a slice of time
If you'll excuse me I should say goodbye
I gotta go now.

I Been Redeemed
(Meryn Cadell)
1974: the year I found God
and lost him
I been redeemed
by the blood of the lamb
I been redeemed by the blood of the lamb
filled with the Holy Ghost I am
I been redeemed
by the blood of the lamb
Let it be known that I was fairly young
and the indoctrination was very strong
It was in my homeroom class every day that I heard about living in torment if I didn't walk with Jesus
Old Satan's mad
But I'm so glad
Old Satan's mad but I'm so glad 'cause he lost another soul that he thought he had
Old Satan's mad
But I'm so glad
It was a public school with a science teacher
Hardly the right place but who was to tell
Would you go home and tell your atheist parents
and risk the wrath of God?
Jesus loves you
Jesus loves me
Jesus loves you, Jesus loves me and I know that he loves everybody
Jesus loves you
Jesus loves me
So I started to go to pioneer girls in my little blue uniform that I've since lost
And a Christian Fellowship
And I started to see a movie star in Pat Boone at church in the evening
I don't even know what church it was or what faith
But I do remember the time I fell at the altar weeping on my knees
Somebody's mother hovering, crouching beside me asking if I was really ready to accept Christ in to my heart
Yes, I cried and wept, Yes!
Won't you make him
Your savior too
Won't you make him your savior too eternal life he'll give to you
Won't you make him
Your savior too
Then later in the car my hot-from-crying face against the window shutting out the conversation around me
I thought about what I said and
I already doubted it
So intangible so surreal
letting Christ in to my heart
I didn't even know the man
And then summer came and the fervor died
And the following year I fell in love with a red-haired boy two rows over
And that was much less painful
I been redeemed
by the blood of the lamb
I been redeemed by the blood of the lamb
filled with the Holy Ghost I am
I been redeemed
by the blood of the lamb

I like the way that you don't talk
I like the way that you don't walk
I like the way you do nothin' at all
I like the way you don't fuss and squeal.
I like the way your skin don't feel
I like the way you just lay there so still
I'm glad I chose to date you
It didn't take long to inflate you
I wish I'd known you long ago!
Polly Urethane, that's a purty name
I know you won't play games
Play games with my heart
You're adorable
And you're portable
Polly Urethane, you're everything to me!
I like the way your eyes don't blink
I like the way that you don't think
I like the way you look when you're wearin' hot pink
I like the way you don't stare at me
I like the way you don't disagree
I like the way you leave all decisions to me.
You're soft and yet resilient
Your colors are so brilliant
It says here you're also waterproof!
Polly Urethane, that's a purty name
I know you won't play games
Play games with my heart
You're adorable
And you're portable
Polly Urethane, you're everything to me!
Polly Urethane, you're everything to me!

"Satellite"
-Guster
Shining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars
Are you what I think you are?
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Elevator to the moon
Whistling our favorite tune
Trying to get a closer view
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Maybe you will always be
Just a little out of reach
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
You're my satellite

Cello Song
(Nick Drake)
Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere.
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear.
For the dreams that came to you when so young
Told of a life
Where spring is sprung.
You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight.
But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave.
So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song.
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the clouds.

A waste of time
A waste of time
Another sort of step along the way
A waste of time
A wasted but an interesting delay
Was it all of a waste
Or was it fun
People fly far away
A waste of time
Almost too clear a lesson not to play
Exercise, perhaps in sensual decay
How to love and to see how the land lay
How to love, what to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say
A waste of time
At least some company along the way
Great visions
Perhaps too fast, too bright, but anyway
And I'll be what you think
You want to say
You think you want to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say
How to love and to see how the land lay
How to love, what to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say

Here's the hott new song from American Idol winner Carrie Underwood...."Wasted" is the next release from her phenomenal smash debut albut titled "Some Hearts!"
Carrie Underwood - Wasted
written by: Marvin Green/Hillary Lindsey/Troy Verges
Standing at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood
It felt like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just can't get it back
Let's face it
For one split second
She almost turned around
But that would be like pouring rain drops
Back into a cloud
So she took another step and said
I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it
I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waitin' to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Another glass of whisky but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He says it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it.
Cause' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waitin' to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missin'
But still every morning' the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted
She kept drivin' along
Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while
Hey, yeah,
Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waitin' to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
But still every morning' the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted
Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waitin' to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Yeah, yeah
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
But still every morning' the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted

All Along the Watchtower -- Robert Zimmerman
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Boo
P.S. I am quite pissed that no one jumped for Punjabi Joy when I posted Chaiyya Chaiyya, one of the best songs ever from Bollywood.

Who Wants To Live Forever
by Queen
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever . . . . . ?
Oh ooo oh
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Ooh
Who dares to love forever
Oh oo woh, when love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway ?

I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window,
staring out at the sun.
So I chose freedom
Running around,
trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
- from "Evita"

Folk Song
(Bongwater)
I met an anarchist in Tompkins Square Park
He was an angry man, spinning words so dark
He called for death to rich men
Death to Yuppies, too
Death to art fags, bourgeois blacks, death to landlord Jews!
Kill the bankers, kill the cops,
Kill him her and me
Kill them all for CBS, NBC, ABC, TBN,
CNN, HBO, "Life At Five", MTV Spring Break Party
Weekend, Sally Jesse Raphael, Geraldo, Oprah, Arsenio,
Regis and Kathy Lee...
And I said, "Hey, I admire your get up and go
Your youthful brooding and sexually charged enthusiasm
And all your other utterly nave and thoroughly endearing
Adolescent qualities
And I bet you can keep it up all night, can't you?
Oh, I bet you don't even use a rubber, no you don't
even use a rubber... do you?
Because you think you'r gonna live forever.
Or do you have this adorable and misguided notion
That death is something really radical and cool?
But I still can help being wildly attracted to your
Fresh-faced uncompromised tattoo'd rebel stance and
Goddamn! I'd like to help you sing your tune."
But I've been making friends with this here death
And it seems a might too soon.
And I said, "Hello death, goodbye Avenue A
I'm getting tired of waiting, tired of being afraid.
Joseph Campbell gave me hope and now I have been saved.
So I sing, ''Hello death, goodbye Avenue A.''
Now I'm not trying to be flippant here,
Or irreverent, or exploitive, or sarcastic, or
Ironic, or post-modern, and this is not a parody.
Get it? Got it? Good.
I've been thinking what he told me, that it's okay to cry
When we held the crystal Tina Chow spent 12 Grand to buy
Homeopathic mantras, fresh-squeezed wheat grass juice
Doctors up in Bellevue, Doctors Salk and Suess.
And it's time we'll all be going home, if you can find the way
Yes, everyone is going home, going home to stay.
And it's time we find a way to cope, a way to find some hope
For some it's the Bible or Buddha or
Mohammed or Krishna or cheesecake or the Butthole
Surfers or Giorgio Armani or Romeo Gigli
And you really can't afford it but it looks so fabulous on you
So why dont you take it on home, and speaking of home, isn't
It about time you move out of that East Village hellhole,
The one with the Honeymooners view of the brick wall out the window
Because you deserve something more life affirming
Like a tree, or a flower, or a patch of grass, or a singing little bluebird
Or maybe you just want to take your boyfriend to Europe because he's never been
Or quit the job you always hated
Or learn how to play the guitar (it's easy)
Or get obscenely drunk in a piano bar and sing show tunes... show tunes!
And dont be embarrassed, because at this point
I'd rather see "Brigadoon" than "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer"
Or maybe you'd like to get politically active so you disrupt a Presidential press conference
By shoving a 5 pound week old stalk of broccoli between those thin lying lizard lips
That no one can read anyway
Because half the country is illiterate and the other half is apathetic
Including the First Lady who couldn't step just 500 feet out
Of the overdecorated White House to visit the goddamn Quilt
Or maybe you'd like to put a bullet into Jesse Helms' peabrain
But you know when you start thinking like that, when you start thinking like they do,
Then it's time to let go of the material world
So mabe you'd like to get yourself some religion because
"Jesus is the Way, Jesus is the Way, Jesus is the
Way, Jesus is the Way, Jesus is the Way."
...Besides, it's a lot easier to accept Jesus Christ
as your personal Lord and Savior when He looks like
Willem DaFoe.
But maybe that stuff turns you off, so you rent
"Power of Myth"
It made me feel really good (for about ten minutes)
Or maybe you'd rather do acid and listen to Led Zeppelin...
Then again, the last time I took hallucinogenic drugs was about five years ago
I took mushrooms in Joshua Tree, looking for that Carlos Castaneda kind of experience.
I got off, my boyfriend didn't
He fell asleep, left me alone with the TV
Turned on PBS
You know what was on? ..."Berlin Alexanderplatz".
So I started watching it, and you know what...?
I got really bummed out.
And that's when I said "No to Drugs", "No to Drugs",
No no no...Hell, no to drugs!
And maybe you'd like to say no to drugs, too
Or maybe you want to join Atheists of America or the Madonna Fan Club
Or watch Richard Gere follow the Dali Lama around the world
And then do those oh-so-Zen like movies with those oh-so-Zen like messages
Like, "Hey! It's fun to be a prostitute!"
I can't wait to spread my legs across Hollywood Blvd.
Because then maybe some rich, handsome billionaire
In a Jag will come driving up and take me shopping on Rodeo Drive
And that's what a woman's all about anyway, right?
Sucking and shopping and sucking and
shopping and sucking and shopping
But hey, who am I to argue?
Because it's the feel good movie of the summer
It's the feel good movie of the year,
It's the feel good movie of the Nineties
It's the feel good movie of the Millennium
And you know what?
If it puts a spring in your step and a song in your heart,
Well... whatever makes you happy
Whatever makes you happy,
Whatever makes you happy,
Whatever makes you happy,
Whatever gives you hope.
Even if it's a truly tasteless joke.
So...
Fax a manifesto.
Pencil in a date.
Let me know when something gives I hope it's not too late
Because I'm getting tired of waiting, tired of being afraid.
Joseph Campbell gave me hope and now I have been saved.
So I sing, "Hello death, goodbye Avenue A..."
"Hello, Death. Goodbye, Avenue A..."

Ease Your Feet Off in the Sea
(Belle and Sebastian)
Ease you're feet off in the sea
My darling, it's the place to be
Take your shoes off, curl your toes
And I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go
The trouble that we've come to know
Will stay with us till we get old
Will stay with us till somebody decides to go
Decides to go
Soberly, without regret, I make another sandwich
And I fill my face, I know that things have got to you
But what can I do?
Suddenly, without a warning
On a pale blue morning
You decide your time is wearing thin
A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
Hovering
It's an emergency
There's no more "wait and see"
Maybe if I shut my eves
Your trouble will be split between us
People come and people go
You're scouring everybodies face
For some small flicker of the truth
To what it is that you are going through, my boy
I left you dry
The signs were clear that you were not going anywhere
Anywhere
Save for a falling down
Everything's going wrong
Later on, as I walked home
The plough was showing, and Orion
I could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people
Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you
They spoke in turn
But their eyes would pass over you
Over you
Who's seeing you at all?
Who's seeing You at all?

3 pigs >ICP<
Once upon a time there were three little pigs
who went out into the big world
to build thier homes and seek thier fortunes.
The first little piggy, his house is made of wood
He lives in a chicken turkey piggy neighborhood
He likes to fuck his sister and drink his moonshine
A typical redneck filthy fuckin' swine!
I rode into town with my axe in my holster
Everybody knows about the wicked piggy boaster
The sherrif at the border ,he tried to take me out
I drew my axe with the quickness-and cut his adam's apple out!
Walked in the village and to the piggy's place
He opened up his door and shot me in the face
And blew me off the porch-and blew my head in half
But I'm a Juggalo so it only made me laugh (ha ha!)
Axe in hand, I rose like the dead
And swung with all my might- made a thump noise in his head
Since we out west, I grabbed a shotgun
And blew his fuckin tounge out the back of his cranium!!
[CHORUS:]
Three little piggies, to make a piggy pie
There's nothing like a sound when you hear a piggy die
I might choose a gun (NO!)
I might choose an axe (YES!)
The Carnival's in town- come and get your piggy snacks
The second little piggy, his house is made of brick
And this little piggy is a mother fuckin dick
He lays down his rules and reads you your rights
In that funny lookin car with the little blinkin lights
I drive a volkswagon bug 17 deep
Packed fulla Juggalos, lights out and we creep
To the piggy station and lay on the horn
First piggy out- we blow his lungs out his uniform
Now they in persuit like Starski and Hutch
But theres only two of them-the rest are out to lunch
They call up Dunkon Doughnuts to gather up the rest
25 piggies with they bullet-proof vests
We lead them in a chase,they bustin off rounds
But now they all fucked cuz we at the Carney grounds
And they gettin swallowed by their very on breed
DARK CARNIVAL and wicked clowns because we need....
[CHORUS 2x]
The last little piggy, his house is made of gold
He lives in a mansion on his own private road
I started walking down it- the gaurd he told me wait
I snapped his fuckin neck in two and slammed his nuts in the gate
Cuz this little piggy must defianatly die!
I'm a lop his nugget off and toss it in the sky
And then I watch the moon take the form of the devil
And pull it out the sky and beat it with a shovel
People in my city, they fightin for they meals
He sleeps on a matress stuffed with hundered dollar bills
A richey is the devil- he never will admit it
So I'm 'a cut his hand off and slap his face wit' it
Opened up his door, he sleeping in his bed
I grabbed a brick of gold and slapped it upside his head
He begged for his life, I told him its too late
And tied his neck in a knot and watch him suffocate
Cuz I need...

Whores (Live) Lyrics
Way down low where the streets are littered
I find my fun with the freaks and the niggers
I don't want much man give me a little
Or I'm gonna take my chances if i get em
I love them whores they never judge you
They cast that pearl and it don't upset 'em
They take their chances if they get 'em
Hear me go off!
Give me some more!
Motherfucker!
Need a little more!
Goddamn you!
Give me some more!
Motherfucker!
Give me some more!
You give me breadcrubme uh-ho
I'm tired of living the bosses dream
They'll squeeze you dry man if you let 'em
Better take your-take your -take your chances
If you get 'em
Her me go off!
Give me some more!
Mother fucker!
Need a little more!
Goddamn you!
Give me some more!
Motherfucker!
Give me some more!

Tomorrow Never Knows Lennon & McCartney
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning

It's Not Easy Being Green
(as done by Van Morrison or Kermit the Frog- your pick)
It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
--- Happy Saint Pat's, ya'll.

In the interests of Celtic paganism... I submit this song from The Wicker Man.
You can check it out as "How Do" on the Sneaker Pimps album "Becoming X" as well. I heart the Sneaker Pimps.
Heigh ho! Who is there?
No one but me, my dear.
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll give to you.
By stroke as gentle as a feather
I'll catch a rainbow from the sky
And tie the ends together.
Heigh ho! I am here
Am I not young and fair?
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll show to you.
Would you have a wond'rous sight
The midday sun at midnight?
Fair maid, white and red,
Comb you smooth and stroke your head
How a maid can milk a bull!
And every stroke a bucketful.
- "Willow's Song"
Watch "The Wicker Man!" But only the original British version! Watch it as much as I do! Five times a week!
You think I'm kidding. I'm not.

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

I'm Going Slightly Mad
(Queen)
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad
Oh dear!
I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not at 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, I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh huh
It finally happened I'm slightly mad - oh dear!
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast its true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you?
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened oh yes
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad!
And there you have it!

Straight Lines
(Wood)
Well, I tried so hard
But it was not enough
I guessed wrong
And I messed up
But I think I still believe....
When you're walking a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you're walking a straight lline
Things get out of your way
When you're walking a straight line
You don't have to hurry
When you're walking a straight line
You can face the day
Down by the river
Stands a man
Trouble on his mind
Running out of plans
But I think I still believe...
When you're walking a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you're walking a straight lline
Things get out of your way
When you're walking a straight line
You don't have to hurry
When you're walking a straight line
You can face the day

Knock It On The Head
(Wood)
I'm gonna to give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that, I'll knock it on the head
I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that, I'll knock it on the head
You can be sure I'm trying my best
I could stay in every night and still fail the test
I won't let on
Say everything's fine
The walls are closing in, but I do not mind
I'm gonna to give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that, I'll knock it on the head
I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that, I'll knock it on the head
Make the phone ring
Bring me good news
I live in deep freeze
But I thaw out for you
God only knows what I'm gonna do now
I could get on-
But I don't know how
I'm gonna to give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that, I'll knock it on the head
I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that, I'll knock it on the head
And I see they're slipping by
And every day that passes, I-
I want 'em right back now
I want 'em right back now
I'm gonna to give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that, I'll knock it on the head
I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that, I'll knock it on the head
After that, I'll knock it on the head
I've gotta get somewhere
I've gotta get somewhere

When the Sun Comes Out
(John Wesley Harding)
It's been raining for a million years
And the weather just won't turn
Try to build a fire round your place
And the damned logs refuse to burn
The braindead have been sitting on their sunbeds
Where's heaven for its own sake?
Lying dead or half-forgotten
At the bottom of a bottomless lake
But when the sun comes out
The world's gonna go crazy
Everybody's gonna move their arms about
Cos what they believed is turned inside-out
When the sun comes out
It's been raining since I don't know when
We're all in for a big surprise
Go to the woods in your dreams tonight
And when you awake you won't believe your eyes
It's all the rage, it'll make the front page
Gotta get the gutter press going down the drain
Butter melts if you leave it near the window
And it's time to try and use a deckchair again
But when the sun comes out....
When the sun comes out
His pa will be so disappointed
To find out his son was double-jointed
Some will flounder
Some will be anointed
The son couldn't wait to do a turn-about
It's been raining but it's gonna stop
Cats and dogs will shake themselves
Time to work, time to pick those hops
I gotta go and mend the greenhouse shelves
This was meant, well, it's all heaven-sent
Go out naked and have no fear
One boy spent a little life in torment
But now he's grinning from ear to ear
Now he's grinning from here to here...

I've Always Been Crazy
(Waylon Jennings)
I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say Im proud of all of the things that Ive done
But I can say Ive never intentionally hurt anyone
I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Beautiful lady are you sure that you understand
The chances your taking loving a free living man
Are you really sure you really want what you see
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Passionate Kisses
Lucinda Williams
Is it too much to ask?
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff
Shouldn't I have this,
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you
Is it much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't I have this,
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you
Do I want too much?
Am I going overboard to want that touch?
I shouted out to the night:
"Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right"
Shouldn't I have this,
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Kiss Me On The Bus
(The Replacements)
On the bus that's where we're ridin'
On the bus okay don't say hi then
Your tongue, your transfer, your hand, your answer
On the bus everyone's lookin' forward
On the bus I am lookin' forward
And it really ain't okay
I might die 'fore Monday
They're all watching us
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus
Ooh if you knew how I felt now
You wouldn't act so adult now
Hurry, hurry, here comes my stop
On the bus, watch our reflection
On the bus, I can't stand no rejection
C'mon let's make a scene
Ooh baby don't be so mean
They're all watching us
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus
Ooh if you knew how I felt now
You wouldn't act so adult now
Hurry, hurry, here comes my stop
Ooh if you knew how I felt now
You wouldn't act so adult now
They're all watching us
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus

Artist: Joni Mitchell
Song: Amelia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmdfB6w2JSo
I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
It was the strings of my guitar
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru to you
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Of picture-post-card-charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
People will tell you where theyve gone
Theyll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Others just come to harm
Oh Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I wish that he was here tonight
Its so hard to obey
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
So this is how I hide the hurt
As the road leads cursed and charmed
I tell Amelia, it was just a false alarm
A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea, like me she had a dream to fly
Like icarus ascending
On beautiful foolish arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Maybe Ive never really loved
I guess that is the truth
Ive spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
And looking down on everything
I crashed into his arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I pulled into the cactus tree motel
To shower off the dust
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747s
Over geometric farms
Dreams, Amelia, dreams and false alarms
For Billy Kelly, who'll never be mine.

What If?
(Bongwater)
What if I baked you a coconut cake
With lots of nuts....the kind that you hate?
What if I threw your car keys in the lake?
Would you still love me?
What if I took you to the edge?
What if I pushed you off the ledge?
What if I scratched all your Sister Sledge?
Would you still love me?
What if made you get me a tab?
And made you pay for all of my cabs?
What if I gave you all of my crabs?
Would you still love me?
What if I had PMS all my life?
And told you you look just like Barney Fife?
What if I twisted it in like a knife?
Would you still love me?
Would you still love me?

It's My Party
written by Wally Gold, John Gluck, and Herb Weiner
recorded by Lesley Gore
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Playin' my records, keep dancin' all night
Leave me alone for a while
'Till Johnny's dancin' with me
I've got no reason to smile
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearin' his ring
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.

Palm Sunday
(Jerry Garcia/Grateful Dead)
The river so white, the mountain so red
And with the sunshine over my head
The honky-tonks are all closed and hushed
It looks like Palm Sunday again
It looks like Palm Sunday again
It looks like Palm Sunday again
The sky is so green, clouds of canary
Blood moon rise like a fat ripe cherry
Sunset quiet as a benediction
One true love, the rest is fiction
If I stay longer, trouble will find me
An epitaph and a sheet to wind me
A passable day for the least of men
It must be Palm Sunday again
It must be Palm Sunday again

April Fools
(Rufus Wainwright)
Oh, what a shame that your pockets did bleed on St. Valentine's
And you sat in a chair thinking: "Boy, I'm such a prince!"
Well, life's a train that goes from February on
Day by day
But it's making a stop on April first
And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
But just until the fish start to smell
And you're struck down by a hammer
Sure, you were swift
When the handsome greek boys dropped by with gifts
You are suave
Thanks to ribbons that open sesame
But in the stars and closer to home, in every planet
It ain't hard for me and dear jo jo to see
That you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
But just until the fish start to smell
And you're struck down by a hammer
So let it all go by
Looking at the sky
Wondering if there's clouds and stuff in hell
And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
But just until the fish start to smell
And you're struck down by a hammer

You'll Have Time
(William Shatner / Ben Folds)
Live life
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you're gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?"
Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
Because you're gonna die.
Yes it's gonna happen because it's happened to a lot of people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The president, the kings and the pope
They all had hope
And they muttered just before they went
"Maybe, I won't let go"
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you are
Maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die
I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it's time
You're gonna die
You're gonna die
By the time you hear this I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
'Cause we're all gonna die
Yeah, oh maybe you won't suffer and maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
You'll have time cause you're gonna die
Yes, you're gonna die
You're gonna die, I tell you
You're gonna die
You are gonna die
'Cause maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die
Live Life
Life life like you're gonna die
Because you're going to
Oh yes
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?"
You'll have time, baby
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die
You are gonna die
Oh yeah
(the sung part in the background)
Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E-G-O-double-N-A-DIE Die!
You are gonna diiiiiie
Lung cancer, heart attack, diabetes, drug overdose
Choke on a chicken bone
Hit by a lightning bolt
Heart attack
Airplane crash
Car wreck
F*cked up in your aaaaa---s-s-s-s!

Song: That's Just The Way It Is
Lyric:
All day long he was fighting for you
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same
And I don't know why
Why do we keep holding on
I don't know why
Pretending to be oh so strong
Oh why
Is there something I don't know
Or something very wrong, with you and me
or maybe
That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
That's just the way it is.
They've been waiting for word to come down
They've been waiting for you night and day
They won't wait any longer for you
It may already be too late
And I don't know why...
You see the dying, you feel the pain
What have you got to say
If we agree that we can disagree
We could stop all of this today
It's been your life for as long as you can remember
But you cannot fight no more
You must want to look your son in the eyes
When he asks you what you did it for
'Cos all day long he was fighting for you
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same

Song: Son Of Man
Lyric:
Oh, the power to be strong
And the wisdom to be wise
All these things willcome to you in time
On this journey that you're making
There'll be answers that you'll seek
And it's you who'll climb the mountain
It's you who'll reach the peak
Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
Though there's no one there to guide you
No one to take your hand
But with faith and understanding
You will journey from boy to man
Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
In learning you will teach
And teaching you will learn
You'll find your place beside the
ones you love
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of
The visions that you saw
Well, the is drawing near now
It's yours toclaim it all
Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
Son of Man
Son of Man's a man for all to see

Song: There's A Place For Us
Lyric:
So here we are together
just you and me
sitting side by side
don't know why
with time just racing by
but I don't want to go
Well I don't know much about it
'cos all I am is what you see
in front of you
there's no more
feels so close and yet so far
but I don't want to go
Here I am, take my hand
here I am, please take my hand
I'd like to sit here with you if that's all right
if you don't mind I could sit and stare all night
sit here waiting for you to hold me tight
It's sad but I know it's true
you see I know you well
you'd only laugh at me
and that would hurt me so
just look at me here
you've got me pleading with you
but I don't want to go
'Cos you know that I love you so
yes you know that I love you so
Here, I will be here love
for you love, I will always be here love
If you look real close
you'll see my heart is on my sleeve
and it'll be here waiting
waiting for you, waiting for me
someone once said that if you truly, truly believe
you can make things happen
make things appear to be all that they seem
tell me do you believe?
We'll find a hideaway
together we'll find a way
somewhere, somehow, we'll find some way
there must be somewhere
there must be someplace
we can find somewhere
where they don't know my face
believe me we can find it
yes we can find it
somewhere, there's a place for us
somewhere, a time and a place for us
somewhere

Song: All Of My Life
Lyric:
All of my life Ive been searching
for the words to say how I feel
Id spend my time, thinking to much
and leave a little to say what I meanIve tried to understand the best I canAll of my life
All of my life Ive been saying sorry
for the things I know I schould have done
all the things i could have said, come back to me
sometimes I wish it had just begun
seems Im always that little too late
Set 'Em Up, I'll take a drink with you
pul up a chair, I think I'll stay
set 'em up, 'cos I'm going nowhere
there's too much I need to remember, too much I need to say
All of my life. I've been lokingbut it's hard to find the way
reaching past the goal in front of me
while whats important just slips away
it doesnt come back, burt I'll be looking
All of my life
Set 'Em Up, I'll take a drink with you
pul up a chair, I'll think I'll stay
set 'em up, 'cos Im going nowhere
there's too much I need to remember,too much I need to stay

that I dont do all I couldplaying records upstairs, while he watched T.V.
I didn't spend the time I shouldit's a memory, I will live with

Song: Find A Way To My Heart
Lyric:
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you
This journey's not easyfor you, I know
If your footsteps get too faint to hear, I'll go
Cos you know, quesations are never that easy
And never the same
You have the answer believe me
If you have the faith
Find a way to my heart...
Time may come, and time may go, I know
If you should call out for me, I'll go
But you know, there is a code to be broken
I wrap it around
Without a word being spoken
Without a sound
Ther's a reason I hide my heart
Out of sight out of mind
And when I find out just who you are
The door will be open for you to..
Find a way to my heart...

Song: Feel
Lyric:
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This rope I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running thru my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
Scare myself to dead
That's why I keep on running
Before I roll eye
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running thru my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I can not get enough
I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running thru my veins
To go to waste
I just wanna feel
Real love and the love ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place
Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This rope I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

Two much different songs from my new favorite film, lt's a Boy Girl Thing:
"Filthy / Gorgeous" Scissors Sisters
When you're walkin' down the street
And the man tries to get your business
And the people that you meet
Want to open you up like Christmas
You gotta wrap your fuzzy with a big red bow
Ain't no sum bitch gonna treat me like a ho
I'm a classy honey kissy huggy lovey dovey ghetto princess
Cause you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous [x2]
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, cause you're nasty
When you're runnin' from a trick
And you trip on a hit of acid
You gotta work for the man
But your biggest moneymakers' flaccid
You gotta keep your shit together
With your feet on the ground
There ain't no one gonna listen
If you haven't made a sound
You're an acid junkie college flunky dirty puppy daddy bastard
Cause you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous [x2]
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, cause you're nasty
Cause you're filthy, oooh, and I'm gorgeous
Cause you're filthy, oooh, and I'm gorgeous
You're disgusting, oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me, oooh, cause you're nasty
"High" James Blunt
Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

Inner Glow
Performed by Blue October
Written by Justin Furstenfeld
I'm like a storm cloud eager when you go out
Calm again
I'll ask permission for the wrong to win
Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on
In a haze the beginning of your days
Gonna fall down
Got to get back up but at your own pace
Got to fill your cup and find the way
Out of your own maze
Yeah boy what you said now
And hide the rule book throw it in the waste
Look strong
Like you belong cause you do belong
Whether right or wrong you belong
I'm on your side if you fail at least you tried
To keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alive
Yeah and pride don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alone
Write you own song
Whatever happened to our inner glow
Whatever happened to the song the soul the me i used to know
Whatever happened to my radio
Whatever happened to my song
It is my song
So here's a preview shove it under old-new
Or call it rock or pop or bach or fuck
Goddamn where did we go wrong
Now there's a catergory for every song
Yeah we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side making love to the rhythm be a jeckyl and a hyde
Yeah we only want a field we can run through
Yeah we only want a beat we can drum to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side making love to the rhythm be a jeckyl and a hyde
So stride if you fail at least you tried
To keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alive
And pride don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alone
Write your own song
Whatever happened to our inner glow
Whatever happened to the song the soul the me i used to know
Whatever happened to my radio
Whatever happened to the song
Gonna wake up strong ya we're all gonna wake up strong...

Here's a little chestnut that I just can't get off my brain today for some reason.
Hope you like it.
You Can Call Me Al
(Paul Simon)
A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All alone alone
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al
A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

(Burt Bacharach)
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's 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 it's 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 there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's 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
would you tell me what's it all about?
what's it all about? Alfie, Alfie, Alfie.
What's it all about? Whats this all about?
what's it all about Alfie? tell me
what's it all about Alfie? what's it all about Alfie?
just tell me yeah. what's it all about?
what's it all about?

By my side,
You'll never be.
By my side,
You'll never be.
Cos I'm fake at the seams,
I'm lost in my dreams.
I want you to know,
That I can't let you go.
And you're never coming home again,
And you're never coming home again.
By my side,
You'll never be.
By my side,
You'll never be.
I wanted to tell you I'd changed.
I wanted to tell you that things would be different this time.
But I see you, you see me,
Differently.
I see you, you see me,
Differently.
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again

band: Travis
song: Sing
Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately nothing seems to be going right
Solo, why do you have to get so low
You're so...
You've been waiting in the sun too long
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Colder, crying over your shoulder
Hold her, tell her everything's gonna be fine
Surely, you've been going too early
Hurry 'cos no-one's gonna be stopped
Na na na na
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
Uhhh...Ahh ahh..uhhh
Baby, there's something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing(fades out)
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Ohh baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

Happy Ending
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love [repeat]
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Bob Dylan
The Times They are A Changin'
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Your Guardian Angel
by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's ok. It's ok. It's ok.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,
Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Communion Lyrics
- Deborah Harry
I've touched some objects of faith more precious than pieces of eight.
Seen sacred places and ritual ways, but for communion let's go to my place.
I learned to pray on my knees.
Been taken in hand, if you please.
Had my own revelations, ideas about fate, but for communion let's go to my place.
So as the body, so as the blood, sacred as the soul is to love.
Don't be mistaken if you don't understand, divinely simple.
Part of the plan.
Take!
Eat!
This is my body!
I give it to you.
Take!
Drink!
This is my blood.
Do it in remembrance of me (so you won't forget me).
Now, I've been a witness of grace.
I've stared sacred days in the face.
The long long parade of ritual ways, but for communion let's go to my place.
Sacred stories are told.
They're passed on like pieces of gold.
So make your conclusions, consider your fate, and for communion let's go to my place.
Are you ready?
Are you ready for communion?

Seether - Empty
I see you
I want you
I Need you
Confront you
I love you to rape me
I need you to break me
Tell me how to sit around
Making my life so empty
Tell me how to sit around
Cause' I don't think you wanna know me now
Know me now
I feel you
Conceal you
I hear you
I fear you
I steal you to heal you
I feed you and milk you
Tell me how to sit around
Making my life so empty
Tell me how to sit around
Cause' I don't think you wanna know me now
Know me now
I can't be
I can't be
What you want
I can't be
What you want
I can't be
I can't be
What you want
I can't be
What you want
Tell me how to sit around
Making my life so empty
Tell me how to sit around
Cause' I don't think you wanna
know (13x)

Nobody Wants To
Down On The Ocean Floor
That's Where I"m Heading For
Hold On To A Sinking Stone
Untill The Worst Is Known
Nobody Wants To Think About
Nobody Wants To Talk About It
No one Protects You
They Make It Go Away
Pretending That Its All Ok
Broken Pieces On The Ground
Everyones Tiptoeing Round
Nobody Wants To Think About It
Nobody Wants To Talk About It
No one Protects You
Are We Losing Something
We Used To Cry
We Used To Say Why
For All I Know
We Might Not Get Home
But I Found Out
If We Open It Up
We Could Work This Out
Nobody Wants To Think About It
Nobody Wants To Talk About It Now
What You Suspected All Along
Everything He Told You Was Wrong
And You Can See It If You Want
But Nobody Wants To

Inspired by Thunter's 'Who I appreciate and Why' thread
Testify to Love
By: Wynona Judd, as performed on Touched by an Angel
All the colors of the rainbow,
All the voices of the wind;
Every dream that reaches out,
That reaches out to find where love begins;
Every word of every story,
Every star in every sky,
Every corner of creation
Lives to testify
For as long as I shall live,
I will testify to love.
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough.
With every breath I take,
I will give thanks to God above.
For as long as I shall live,
I will testify to love.
From the mountains to the valleys,
From the rivers to the sea;
Every hand that reaches out,
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace;
Every simple act of mercy,
Every step to kingdom come;
All the hope in every heart
Will speak what love has done.
For as long as I shall live,
I will testify to love.
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough.
With every breath I take,
I will give thanks to God above.
For as long as I shall live,
I will testify to love.
