We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise, I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched a foreign land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless star, we walked a million hills
I must have died alone, a long long time ago
Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me.
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for me.

My Immortal (Evanescence)
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds don't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Dancing robustly sideways

They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone...
But Hey! Don't listen to me!
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I want to take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory...
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom...
Freedom

When I was a child
Running in the night
Afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the street
And of what was following me
Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
And I don't know what's good for me
Here I go
It's coming for me thro' the trees
Help me someone, help me please
Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake.
And I'll be 2 steps on the water.
I found a fox caught by dogs
He let me take him in my hands
His little heart beats so fast
And I'm ashamed of running away,
From nothing real, I just can't deal with this
But I'm still afraid to be there,
Among your hounds of love.
And feel yours arms surround me
I've always been a coward
And never know what's good for me.
Here I go - Don't let me go - Hold me down
It's coming for me through the trees
Help me darling, help me please
Take my shores off and throw them in the lake
And I'll be two steps on the water
I don't know what's good for me,
I don't know what's good for me,
I need love, love, love, love, yeah -
your love.
Take your shoes off and throw them in the lake,
Do you know what I really need
Do you know what I really need
I need love, love, love, love.....
--Kate Bush
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

If you really want to get all miserable...
Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones
now gone
Talking aloud as they sit
round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury
that burns from inside
Cry like a child though
these years make me older
With children my time
is so wastefully spent
Burden to keep, though their
inner communion
Accept like a curse
an unlucky deal
Laid by the gate at the foot
of the garden
My view stretches out
from the fence to the wall
No words could explain,
no actions determine
Just watching the trees
and the leaves as they fall

No Panties - Trina
No panties coming off
my love is gonna cost
cause ain't no way
that you gonna get up
in this for free
Look boo what da deal

I know you be packing the steel
but I can't suck yo dick
and get my lipstick smeared

takes see i'll be comin all night
and all day Miss Trina zem zema

tinted windows and some tens
I tell you time again I fine enough
to even f**k your mens look a here
slim I swear the South Beach let me
speak for you f**k me gonna treat
and put some sandtins on my feet
take me to the beach
now crall up in my wall real deep

No panties coming off
my love is gonna cost
cause ain't no way
that you gonna get up
in this for free
No panties comeing off
my love is gonna cost
cause ain't no way
that you gonna get up
in this for free
b**ch you ain't gotta like me
Oh you his wifey
I think your man like me
he had me in the car
with his hand on my bra
breathing in my face
saying
TRI-NA
I ain't trying a disrespect
I'm just trying to keep you in check
see I ain't done yet
s**t I'm the type of b**ch break
up happy homes like Trick
so mo easy joe you so and so
I'm a superwoman ask mo don't know
Damn I look good
Talk trash in your hood
and if you man want you

Slip and slide Miss Trina

all up in my gut nigga what
No panties coming off

cause ain't no way
that you gonna get up
in this for free
No panties comeing off
my love is gonna cost
cause ain't no way
that you gonna get up
in this for free
Hey nigga whats the word
watch my hips don't you like these curves
I wanna crib in the deep suburbs
2 dogs and a mocking bird
Versae sprad on my water bed
and give me some head give me some head
Miss Trina likes kicks all red and I'm the first to say
I'm the badest b**ch

Still one of my all-time favs:
Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...
I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...
I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...
I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...
Some son of a b**ch would die..
~ Bruce c**kburn - 1983 ~
.
Even sick puppies need love...

Something ever so cheerful:
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
In my life
Why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do i smile
At people who i'd much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now
"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled
In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time

Do you fancy a drink
Just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long
It's a beautiful day
To waste away
There's plenty of time
For another one
You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind
Make mine a short
I'm getting there
But where there is
I couldn't care
There must be something
I haven't tried
Perhaps that bottle
before my eyes
Through the haze
The sun goes down
It's getting late
Let's hit the town
Call some friends
To paint it red
Feed the animal
In your head
They throw you out
You hit the night
Go to a club
You feel alright
You get a pill
Take just half
Then take the rest of it
For a laugh
Across the floor
You think you see
The one in your drams
Your fantasy
But that last drink
Has made you blind
You need the bar
But it's hard to find
You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind
There's a brand new game
You want to try
Called "lining them up"
It's the first to die
You think you've won
but it's time to leave
All back to yours
for a cup of tea
You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind
When you find your keys
You all fall in
And spend an hour
In search of skins
When all seems lost
And looking grim
You find a bottle
Of christmas gin
You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind
The rest is blank
And that's the worst
An empty head
For an empty purse
You had a laugh
Or so you think
But in the morning
You just stink
You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind
So you fancy a drink
It's just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long

I saw Morrissey get hit in the face with a sausage in '85 at the Vicky Hall - he wasn't happy about that at all - right at the beginning of Meat is Murder too.

Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, But I've been seen with Farrah.
I've never been with anything less than a nine, so fine.
I've been on fire with Sally Field, gone fast with a girl named Bo (Bo).
But somehow they just don't end up as mine...
It's a death-defying life I lead, I'll take my chances.
I've died for a living in the movies and tv.
But the hardest thing I'll ever do is watch my leading ladies,
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandaging my knee.
I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand-new car,
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.
...
yaba...

And when we get pished we always sing this together to make ourselves feel even older
quote:
I found my love by the gasworks croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring in the smokey wind
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
I'm going to make a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
We'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town.

An antidote to Morrissey:
quote:
The world around gotcha down
You got high blood pressure people pushin' you around
And some wanna tell you how you should behave
Cut your hair the right way tell you what to say hang
Out with the right folks become a fashion slave
But do you wanna feel free, and I said again now
But do you wanna feel freaky and free
But do you wanna feel free, I don't care where you come from
Do you wanna feel, free, free, free freaky and free
Take ya time, unwind ya mind
We all need a little soulshine
Take ya time, go and take it, unwind ya mind
We could use a little soulshine
9 to 5 people tryin'a stay alive, hard livin' in the city
Find a diamond in the sewer but the gas bills rise
But I got to say to them what's in all mean
Ya got a take a loan to pay the bill on the phone
Educated graduated but you can't get a job, no
But do you wanna feel free, and I said again now
But do you wanna feel freaky and free
But do you wanna feel free, I don't care where you come from
Do you wanna feel, free, free, free freaky and free
Take ya time, unwind ya mind
We all need a little soulshine
Take ya time, go and take it, unwind ya mind
We could use a little soulshine
Go on you know we can use it
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
It's lovely
Take ya time go and take it, unwind ya mind
We all need a little soulshine
Take ya time, go and take it, unwind ya mind
We could use a little soulshine
Take ya time go and take it, unwind ya mind
We all need a little soulshine
Take ya time, go and take it, unwind ya mind
We could use a little soulshine
A little soulshine, a little soulshine
Oh we could, oh we could, oh we could
Oh we could, oh we could use a little soulshine
[Michael Franti & Spearhead: Soulshine]

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love
(Copa Copacabana)
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love
(Copa. . Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love
