Just carrying on a tradition started by dikhead at the eZBoard -- and continued by biff at the Forumer board.

Feel free to post whatever song lyrics you like.

I'll start with one of my favorites:


"Better Things" by The Kinks

Here's wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

Here's hoping all the days ahead
Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you.
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on the way.

It's really good to see you rocking out
And having fun,
Living like you just begun.
Accept your life and what it brings.
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things.
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.

Here's wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the drudge and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone, it's all been said.
So here's to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
I know tomorrow you'll find better things...

thanks for carrying on the tradition, GR. TMB Giants wouldn't be the same without it. and thanks for remembering dikhead.


i'm gonna post the lyrics i posted when i made my last post at the ezBoard.


"Closing Time"

Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

~ Semisonic ~

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son ?
And where have you been my darling young one ?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son ?
And what did you see, my darling young one ?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand takers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son ?
And what did you hear, my darling young one ?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet my blue-eyed son ?
Who did you meet, my darling young one ?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded and hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son ?
And what'll you do now my darling young one ?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the deepths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are a many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my songs well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

sweet, feels like home! thanks GR

Cold Irons Bound by Bob Dylan

I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around
Well, I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
My love for her is taking such a long time to die

I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
It's almost like, almost like I don't exist
I'm twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound

The walls of pride are high and wide
Can't see over to the other side
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away

One look at you and I'm out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I'm twenty miles out of town in Cold irons bound

There's too many people, too many to recall
I thought some of 'm were friends of mine; I was wrong about 'm all
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world, found my world in you
But your love just hasn't proved true
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
Some things last longer than you think they will
There are some kind of things you can never kill

It's you and you only, I'm been thinking about
But you can't see in and it's hard lookin' out
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Well the fats in the fire and the water's in the tank
The whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
I'm gonna remember forever the joy that we shared

Looking at you and I'm on my bended knee
You have no idea what you do to me
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Great songs, everybody.


"I Don't Wanna Grow Up" by Tom Waits

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up

How do you move in a world of fog
Thats always changing things?
Makes me wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...

I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up

I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well, when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up

I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb
On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up

Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married, then boom,
How the hell did I get here so soon?
I don't wanna grow up

"Fly Trapped in A Jar" by Modest Mouse

Oh pardon, parson
Well we're already dead
Well its probably been said
That its always been said
That

One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough to leave

One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough to leave
(HAHAHA HAAA HAAA HA)

I'm going to shake myself right out the door
I'm going to take myself when it's finally over
I'm going to let my old bad self take over
I'm going to move my arm out with my shoulder
And

One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave

One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave

One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave

First off, Gary was on trial and drunk before we'd left bed
As things got better, wasn't hard to say that he had no idea

Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around
So we all just opened up our mouths and walked to this town
Well I was walking just a little bit sideways and you were walking sideways too
Well I hadn't learned when a front door can be used
Here we go SIR!

We had docked in dark, so we didn't read what the sign read
Though simple enough, to me it was tough, the ground needs to be fed
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around
So not a single one of us would ever leave town!
Here we go SIR!

Our bodies were laid out, they were laid for fifteen yards
Well two feet above each of our heads there was a fly trapped in a jar
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed
That they really didn't want us around so every single one of us fed the ground
HERE WE GO NOW!

ONE WING (One WING!)
Wasn't even enough!
ONE WING (One WING!)
Wasn't even enough!

Oh, pardon parson
Well it's probably been said
That it's always been said
We were already dead

"He's On The Beach" by Kirsty MacColl

He was just a friend of mine
I'd run into from time to time
Long before he moved away,
We used to share a taste for wine
Still I never knew that he was sad back then
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday

And he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
He sends those postcards now
I'm not sure where he is
But he's out of reach

When he called me up one day
And said that he was going away,
I thought he meant a week in France
And not twelve thousand miles to Sydney Bay
Still he had to take his chances
He said the time had come for him to make a move away

And he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
He writes those postcards now
He's on his own again
And he's out of reach
(my baby gets it on the beach)

And I don't blame him
Leaving was the best thing he could do
He longed for changes
I just hope he's happy
When he does the things he thinks he has to do
And he tries, and he tries
Yes, he tries but he's a little bit hard on himself
Somehow he's trying to be someone else

And he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
It's in his postcards now
He's on his own again
So far out of reach

And he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
It's in his postcards now
He's in Australia
So far out of reach...
And he says it's brilliant there

Till I find my Happy Home by Goodtar Jones

I'll be searching all the time
Till I find my happy home
And I find the perfect girl
So I won't have to be alone

I'll be searching all the time
I've got nothing else to do
And I know that no matter how hard it is
It'll be worth it when it's through

I'm looking all the time
Til l find the perfect place
A great place to settle down
That won't take up much space

And maybe I'll have a kid
And I'll find the perfect job
It'll be better than I expected
I can't wait to tell my mom

YaY Goodtar!!!

"LDN" by Lily Allen

Riding through the city on my bike all day
'Cause filth took away my license,
It doesn't get me down and I feel OK
'Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless
Everything seems to look as it should,
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper, but he's sittin' with a slapper,
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore

You might laugh, you might frown
Walking 'round London town

Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes,
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies

There was a little old lady who was walkin' down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city havin' lunch in the park --
I believe that it's called "al fresco" --
When a kid came along to offer a hand
But before she had time to accept it,
Hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead
'Cause he's got all her jewelry and wallet

You might laugh, you might frown
Walking 'round London town

Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes,
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies

Life, yeah, that's city life, yeah, that's city life, yeah, that's city life
Life, yeah, that's city life, yeah, that's city life, yeah, that's city life

Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky -- oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes,
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies

When you look with your eyes,
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies

"Invisible" by Modest Mouse

Oh, well lesson dance
And shoot to god
A storm-suffered owl
You're not invisible inside your car
No matter what stupid sort of mission you're on
Well, you're not invisible inside your car

I go absolutely mental
Good ramblin' George
Well, you're not invisible inside your car
No matter, you could breathe it like your flies in a jar
Yeah, you're not invisible

I like the sailing teeming
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
I should just let it be
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
(And it's sad)

Oh, we had to have some kind
Room shaped like a charm
Well, you weren't invisible
Not all along
No matter how many eagles came in the door
We were not invisible
I knew that

I like the sailing teeming
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
And there's the orphan sea
We were never invisible but that I guess we did not see

Of course this all had been laid down
Way before we lay down for it all
Before we had a course, of course
Of course this all had been laid down

Of course we lay down..
Of course we lay down..
Of course we lay down..
Of course we lay down..
Of course we lay down..
Of course we lay down....

I like the sailing teeming
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back and far away from me
I like the orphan sea
Well, we were never invisible but that I guess we could not see

We'll get crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet
Crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet

"Dum Dum Club" by Joe Strummer

This is New York, boy.
We wanna hear you talk, boy.
This is New York, boy.
You ain't never gonna walk.
Downtown they got some guy,
Shot 47 people on a PCP high.
Uptown they got a team from Queens
Busy beating people through a mean machine, yeoww!

You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills.
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills.

This is New York, boy.
Murder One in court, boy.
This is New York, boy.
You ain't ever gonna walk.
You were a rebel in a drum town, son.
Somebody loaded up a plastic gun,
Seen that monkey got you shooting in your blood,
Using bullets from the dum dum club.

You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills.
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills.

You had a shot at a thing called love,
Like shooting up on pills.
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills.

You can't make a [deal?], son.
Your life is ruined.
You can't play with knives.
The junkie's still alive.

You had a shot at a thing called love
In the Hollywood hills.
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills.

You had a shot at a thing called love,
Like shooting up on pills.
You can't help but follow that love
Even if it kills.

You gotta follow that love,
You gotta follow that love,
Hey, just follow that love,
Follow that love...

Even if it kills.
Even if it kills.
Hey, even if it kills.


* Written and recorded for the film Sid & Nancy, about the Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, his groupie girlfriend. (Sid was accused of murdering Nancy in late 1978, but died of a heroin overdose in early '79 shortly before he was to go on trial.)

"Home for Christmas" by Kate Bush

You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home for Christmas.

Please say you won't forget me
That every moment's empty
But only 'til you're coming home for Christmas.

If I only had wings
Then I would fly to you
Through all the snowy weather
We'd be together
No one makes me feel the way you do.

You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home...

Home for Christmas.

here is a Christmas song i made up, & have been singing ad nauseam for weeks now.

(sung to the tune of Silver Bells)

"Shiny Balls"

see them shining
see them shining
all the big shiny balls!
shiny balls are the meaning of Christmas!

they're so shiny
nice & shiny
all the holiday time.
and on every street corner you see...

shiny balls!
shiny balls!
it's Christmas time, when they're shiny!

see them shine
all the time!
shiny balls mean Christmas day!

shiny balls!
shiny balls!
it's Christmas time, when they're shiny!

see them shine
all the time!
shiny balls mean Christmas day!

ho ho ho.

That's cute!


"Jesus Christ" by Big Star

Angels from the realms of glory
Stars shone bright above
Royal David's city
Was bathed in the light of love

Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born

Lo, they did rejoice,
Fine and pure of voice
And the wrong shall fail,
And the right prevail

Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born

(And we're gonna get born now)

"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am Frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me?
Occupy my brain?
oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now how of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

Ween's The Stallion (pt. 3)

Mach 10 at sudden speed
Flying into the wind now
I'm flowing at my feet
Something of likeness to you now

I spotted you in the sun
I called your name from a distance
I knew you were the one
I called again:

I do declare
I can float in the air
And with some love from above
You must
Don't caress the weasel

And don't fall too soon
Don't seek the blood from the panther
Don't take a trip to you soon
I'm the one holding the time back from the sun
As I scope the lobe

I am the one
Who controls the sun
And I know that things will pass
As time elapse-lapses

Time elapses through the sound of you;
And the things we could do
Is think of the master
Trying to fool the glass man

Check the cards at the table
Scream softly if you are able
To see the sign of thine self
As throughout the ages of time

Things you thought weren't going
To climb the mountain
See the sun

Watch the waves of the earth
Feel the grass softly
And don't think for
The one you know I am
Screaming backwards in the sand

"Hang 'Em High" by My Chemical Romance

Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back!
Throttle the ignition,
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades!

Shotgun sinners
Wild eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on

After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
'Cause she's have nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue!
Call her black Mariah,
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain!

Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on

But don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop,
Bury me, and fade to black


She won't stop me put it down (x3)
So get your gun and leave meby the door

She won't stop me put it down (x3)
So get your gun and leave me by the door

She won't stop me put it down (x3)
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me put it down (x3)
So baby...

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop,
Bury me, and fade to black...

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby, don't stop
Bury me, and fade to black

"Wrap My Head Around That" by Lucinda Williams

You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You looked right into my eyes
Said, "I'm not like the other guys"
You looked right into my eyes
Said, "I'm not like the other guys"

I know what I think I saw
And what I thought I'd seen
And what was coming and what was going
And everything in between

And what I thought I heard you say
And what you really said
And what I thought you thought I thought
Was actually in your head

And what you meant to tell me
And what I meant to say
And what I said you said I said
And what went the other way.

I know what you did to me
And I know what we did
And who did what to who --
And who the hell were you trying to kid?

You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You looked right into my eyes
Said, "I'm not like the other guys"
You looked right into my eyes
Said, "I'm not like the other guys"

I know more than you think I know,
More than you think about
And know and think you know and think
You got it all figured out.

I know I'm missing something,
Or something's missing here and there
And all over and over around
And up and everywhere

And you're just all up in it.
Look out, your zipper is gonna break,
And out pops your little party favor
And you just take the cake.

I can't believe that I believed you
When I found out where you're at
And finding out, wow, you're too much
And trying to wrap my head around that.

You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me

I know what I think I saw
And what I thought I'd seen
And what was coming and what was going
And everything in between
And what I thought I heard you say
And what you really said
And what I thought you thought I thought
Was actually in your head
And what you meant to tell me
And what I meant to say
And what I said you said I said
And what went the other way.
I know what you did to me
And I know what we did
And who did what to who --
And who the hell were you trying to kid?
I know more than you think I know,
More than you think about
And know and think you know and think
You got it all figured out.
I know I'm missing something,
Or something's missing here and there
And all over and over around
And up and everywhere
And you're just all up in it.
Look out, your zipper is gonna break,
And out pops your little party favor
And you just take the cake.
I can't believe that I believed you
When I found out where you're at
And finding out, wow, you're too much
And trying to wrap my head around that.

You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You told me you loved me
You told me you loved me
You told me you loved me

"Rock You Like A Hurricane" by The Scorpions

It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin

The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose

The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin

The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am

The Porpoise Song as performed by the Monkees - written by Carole King

My, my
The clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice
And overdub has no choice
An image cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs
Is alright for awhile
The ego sings of castles and kings
And things that go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
The porpoise is waiting, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye...

"Portrait Of Authority" by Bad Religion

Nothing more
Nothing less
An icon on the wall
Decoration and duress
That which many
Strive to be
It's the marble statue
Starring over me

And nobody has the will to tear it down
It determines wrong and right
But to me it's just a stereotype
And it makes us lose our sight

The Portrait of Authority
Portrait of Authority
You tell me that's what I'm supposed to be
Portrait of Authority

You tell me that's what I'm supposed to be!

Another time
Another man
An oppressive intrusion
And a plague across his land
And it haunts
Him every day
It tells him he has no chance
His hopes just fade away

And he lives his life prepared to tear it down
But he can't muster the support
And to him it's just a stereotype
Of his life-long fight

The Portrait of Authority
Portrait of Authority
It embodies what he cannot be
Portrait of Authority

It's what he cannot be!

The Portrait of Authority!
Portrait of Authority

Portrait of Authority!

"I Trained Her To Love Me" by Nick Lowe

Do you see the way she lights up
When I walk in the room? That's good.
And the skip in her step
When we're both out walking in the neighborhood.
This one's almost done --
Now, to watch her fall apart.
I trained her to love me
So I can go ahead and break her heart.

If you think that it's depraved
And I should be ashamed, so what?
I'm only paying back womankind
For all the grief I got.
I've got the latest believing
Forever I'll be true.
I trained her to love me --
Now excuse me, I've got work to do.

I trained her to love me,
And I'm gonna start working on another after this,
And when I get that one in a state of bliss,
Betray her with a kiss.

Well, one time, one cut up rough
And said I only do this 'cause I can,
And I'm bound to wind up
One lonely twisted old man.
But look out -- here comes a prime contender for my agenda,
If ever there is one,
And I'm gonna train her to love me
Until it's time to do what must be done.

Trained her to love me,
And I'm gonna start working on another after this,
And when I get that one in a state of bliss,
Betray her with a kiss.
And I'm gonna start working on another after this,
And when I get that one in a state of bliss,
Betray her with a kiss.

I trained her to love me.
Too late to stop now.

"One" by Metallica

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this LIFE off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me

Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh god, help me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmines has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

Here's one from the Dead Milkmen: Big Deal

Life sucks, then you die
And your soul gets sucked into the sky
Birds sing, I wonder why
You eat a bowl of cereal and sigh
You're late for your class
You're walkin' the halls without a pass

Big deal!

Time flies, time crawls
You're a prisoner trapped between its claws
Life sucks, sometimes
You gotta learn to live between the lines
Your feet are on the ground
But the world keeps spinning you around

Big deal!

Don't be worried, don't be down
I'll be your stupid happy clown
Keep your chin up in the air
Shake your body like you just don't care
Birds sing, babies cry
Life sucks and then you die

Big deal!

"New Routine" by Fountains Of Wayne

Two men sit in the corner of a diner
Both of them look quite a bit like Carl Reiner
One of them is smoking even though the sign says not to
The waitress says to stop, he says, "I'm sorry, but I've got to"
They tell each other jokes that they both know that they both know,
They talk about real estate, prostates, Costco
And when they finish up, they leave a $20 on the table
The waitress picks it up with their half-eaten bagels

And when her shift is over, she goes back to Mineola,
Sits on the couch, opens up a diet cola
And says:
"I'm so, I'm so sick of this place,
I'm so ready for a change of pace,
I'm just looking for a new routine"
So she spins her globe, and the next thing you know
She's living in Liechtenstein

She doesn't speak German, only high-school Spanish
But within a few weeks she discovers she can manage
But there's not much going on except for banking and skiing,
So she breaks up with the man that she just started seeing

He drops her off at the airport in a diesel Mercedes,
Thinks to himself, "I'm so feeble with the ladies
And I --
I'm so, I'm so sick of this place,
I'm so ready for a change of pace,
I'm just looking for a new routine"
So he grabs his cap, throws a dart at a map
And now he's living in Bowling Green

He talks his way inta
A job at La Quinta,
Falls for the manager
Who's moving back to Canada
She's tried Roanoke, Rekjavik, Rome,
Says, "You're really sweet, but I just wanna go home"

Two men sit in the corner of a diner
One of them says, "I might take a trip to China --
It's one of those things we should do before we're too old"
"Thanks but no thanks, bring me back an egg roll"

Bring it back...

"In The Mouth of a Desert" by Pavement


Can you treat it like an oil well
When it's underground, out of sight?
And if the sight is just a whore sign
Can it make enough sense to me?

Pretend the table is a trust knot
We'll put our labels down, faith is down
I'll watch some yards of twine unravel
And you'll never get it back

It's what i want (it's what i want)
It's what i want (twine comes down)
It's what i want (it's what i want)
Don't you know, i could make you try
Make you try

I've been crowned the king of it, and it is all we have
So wait to hear my words and they're diamond sharp
I can open it up and it's up and down

It's what i want (it's what i want)
I see your bag like a little dog (ball of twine)
Don't you know that it's what i want (it's what i want)
I'll see your bag and it makes you try
Makes you try

I've been down, the king of it, is all we have
I've been down and i could wait to hear the words
They're diamond sharp today

"Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light,
In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight.
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right.
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight.

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore,
The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shore.
On the blackest plains in Hell's domain, we watch them as they go,
Through fire and pain, and once again we know...

So now we're flying we're free, we're free before the thunderstorm,
On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on.
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight,
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls...

So far away we wait for the day,
For the light source so wasted and gone;
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days-
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!

[Small interlude]

As the red day is dawning, and the lightning cracks the sky,
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment in their eyes.
Running back through the midmorning light, there's a burning in my heart;
We're banished from a time in a fallen land, to a life beyond the stars.

In your darkest dreams see to believe, our destiny is time,
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight...!

And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality;
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone.
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind,
Day after day this misery must go on!

So far away we wait for the day,
For the light source so wasted and gone,
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!

[Big interlude]

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands,
We fought so hard now can we understand
Ill break the seal of this curse if i possibly can
For freedom of every man!

So far away we wait for the day,
For the light source so wasted and gone,
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!

Camper Van Beethoven: I'm Not Like Everybody Else

I don't take clothes that are hand-me-downs
I don't smile
'Cause I wear a frown
Once I get started you can't hold me down
Once I get going then I go to town
I'm not like everybody else

I don't want to walk around like everybody else
I don't want to live my life like everybody else
I don't want to seek around like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else

Darling, you know that I love you true
Confess all my sins if you want me to
But there's just one thing I wanna say to you
If you're gonna love me my whole life through
And that's

I'm not like everybody else
Like everybody else

"Education" by Modest Mouse

call it education, it was somewhere inbetween
you gave me some sound advice, but i wasn't listening
after we had capsized, i couldnt tell you how you found
well Im not sure if I lay to rest, on the ceiling or the wall

not quite conversation, it was somewhere inbetween
you said everything you thought and i listened patiently
all this dog and pony,we're still monkeys the whole time,
we could not help from flinging shit in our modern suits and ties

our instincts they were cringing, 'bout how we'd lived our lives
it didnt seem we lived enough to even get to die
all these dense distractions, so beautifully complex
i love lifes surprises so much i dont want to know whats ahead

Stubborn shouting he said
"dont do what you do"
i dont know, could'nt really hear. Highly
if you highly care
and you dont stubborn beauty stubborn beauty. ah very well

hardly education it was somewhere inbetween
oh, i hit the roof, but i had aimed for the ceiling

hardly education all them books I didnt read
they just sat there on my shelf, looking much smarter than me
good 'ol nostradamus, he knew the whole damn time
there'd always be an east from west and someone in them fighting
stubborn thru it, stubborn thru it

"Is There Life After Breakfast?" by Ray Davies

Lift yourself out of the doldrums
Make yourself a cuppa tea
Drag your emotions out of the gutter
Don't wallow in self-pity

When you wake up, all of a fluster
Thinking life has passed you by,
Give yourself a kick up the backside
Jump out of bed and punch the sky

Is there life after breakfast
Full of possibilities?
Is there life after breakfast?
Yes, there is, after breakfast
So don't live in agony
Is there life after breakfast?
Yes, there is, after breakfast

Cheer up, son, put on the kettle
There's no point in being glum
Make your mind up, try to forget her
Boil the tea and I'll be mum

Is there life after breakfast?
Yes, there is, after breakfast
So don't live in agony
Is there life after breakfast?
Yes, there is, after breakfast

After breakfast
Life after breakfast
After breakfast

Just because all of the plumbing
Isn't all it used to be,
Turn the tap, see, a little bit's coming
That must make you feel relieved

Don't turn into a total embarrassment
To your friends and family
Get out of bed, the whole day's ahead
So take the pills and drink your tea

Is there life after breakfast
Full of possibilities?
Is there life after breakfast?
Yes, there is, after breakfast
So don't be so depressive
Is there life after breakfast?
Yes, there is, after breakfast

Is there life after breakfast
Full of possibilities?
Is there life after breakfast?
Yes, there is, after breakfast
Is there life after breakfast?
Is there life after breakfast?

(Put the kettle on, mate)

"Barracuda" by Heart

So, this ain't the end - I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
smile like the sun - kisses for ev--eryone
And tails - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now, wouldn't you, Barracuda? Oh-oh-ohh

Back over time we were all trying for free
You met the porpoise and me, uh huh
No right no wrong, selling a song -
A name whisper game.

And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You’re gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ooh, Barracuda! Oh-oh-ohh…yeah

"Sell me, sell you," the porpoise said
Dive down deep down save my head
You...I think that you got the blues, too.

All that night and all the next, swam without looking back
Made it to the western pools - silly, silly fools!

The real thing don't do the trick, no
You better make up something quick
You’re gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ohhh, Barra…barracuda! Yeah

Ooohhhhhh-ah!

"Never Said" by Liz Phair

I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing

I don't know where you heard it
Don't know who's spreadin' it 'round
All I know is I'm clean as a whistle, baby
I didn't utter a sound

I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing

I don't know what they told you
Don't even care what about
All I know is I'm clean as a whistle, baby
I didn't let the cat out

So don't look at me sideways
Don't even look me straight on
And don't worry, I've got my hands in my pockets, baby
I ain't done anything wrong

I never said nothing
No, baby, I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
No, not to anyone
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing

"Knights of Cydonia" by Muse

Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

(repeat, soprano)

Come ride with me,
Through the veins of history,
I'll show you how god,
Falls asleep on the job.

And how can we win,
When fools can be kings,
Don't waste your time,
Or time will waste you,

Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

(repeat, soprano)

No one's gonna take me alive,
The time has come to make things right,
You and I must fight for our rights,
You and I must fight to survive,

No one's gonna take me alive,
The time has come to make things right,
You and I must fight for our rights,
You and I must fight to survive

(solo)

No one's going to take me alive,
The time has come to make things right,
You and I must fight for our rights,
You and I must fight to survive.

(solo to outro)

"Criminal" by Fiona Apple

I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy just because she can

Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
But I keep living this day like the next will never come

Oh, help me, but don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies 'till I'm good enough for him
I've got a lot to lose, and I'm bettin' high so I'm begging you
Before it ends, just tell me where to begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say, the devil wants to know

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

"Empty Walls" by Serj Tankian (from System of a Down)

Your empty walls...
Your empty walls...
Pretentious attention
Dismissive aprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls

Those empty walls
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls

I loved you yesterday
Before you killed my family

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Told you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be, left behind those empty walls
Told you
To see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those god damn walls
Those walls...
Those walls...

Tonight, Tonight Lyrics ~ West Side Story

Maria:
Only you,
you're the only thing I'll see forever.
In my eyes,
In my words and in everything I do,
nothing else but you ever

Tony:
And there's nothing for me but Maria,
every sight that I see is Maria.

Maria:
Tony, Tony...

Tony:
Always you, every thought I'll ever know,
every where I go,
you'll be-----------------. (All the world is only you and me!)
you and me-----------------------

Maria:
Tonight, tonight, it all began to night
I saw you and the world went away
tonight, tonight,
there's only you tonight,
what you are what you do, what you say.---------------

Tony:
Today,
all day I had the feeling a miracle would happen
I know now I was right
for here you are and what was just a world is a star tonight!-----------

Tony and Maria:
Tonight, tonight,
the world is full of light,
with suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight, the world is wild and bright,
going mad shooting sparks into space.
Today,
the world was just an address,
a place for me to live in,
no better than all right,
but here you are,
and what was just a world is a star
Tonight....--------------

Tony and Maria:

...Goodnight, goodnight
sleep well and when you dream,
dream of me
tonight

"The Old Apartment" by the Barenaked Ladies

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine --
I guess they're still, I want them back

Broke into the old apartment
42 stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord,
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live

Why did they pave the lawn?
Why did they change the lock?
Why did I have to break it? I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

How is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun

I know we don’t live here anymore
We bought an old house on the danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I’m happy there
But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux
I want them back
(I want them back)
This is where we used to live
(I want them back)
This is where we used to live
(I want them back)
This is where we used to live
(I want them back)

The Cribs - You're Gonna Lose Us

By the time they lost him,
They'd realised he was a good lad.
He no longer goes to parties,
cos last time hurt bad.
Yeah they were all laughing,
Talking behind his back.
They said he'd been asking strange things like this
'Do you love me?' No
Well don't say that cos
shit on your doorstep and you'll lose us.

This drivers clueless, he stopped outside the station and said
'Let's be having you out, you can't do that son'
When I'm drunk I can be an arsehole,
But that don't mean I've got no class no,
Why can't we have something going on?

You think about others too much,
Well that's a strange put down.
cos no-one has the same opinions, so where's the harm in asking
'Do you love me?' No
Well don't say that cos
shit on your doorstep and you'll lose us.

This drivers clueless, he stopped outside the station and said
'Let's be having you out, put that back son'
When I'm drunk I can be an arsehole,
But that don't mean I've got no class no,
Why can't we have something going on?

And i dont know if anyone cares or not,
But i have never liked you idiots,
Why can't we have something going on?

You're gonna lose us

This drivers clueless, he stopped outside the station and said
'Let's be having you out, you can't do that son'
When I'm drunk I can be an arsehole,
But that don't mean I've got no class no,
Why can't we have something going on?

"Stricken" by Disturbed

AH! AH! AH! OW!

You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now to tell me why
You come along, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken another time

You come on like a bloodstained hurricane
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am Stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run!-

AH! AH! AH! OW!

You don't know what your power has done to me
I want to know if I'll heal inside
I can't go on with a holocaust about to happen
Seeing you laughing another time

You'll never know why your face has haunted me
My very soul has to bleed this time
Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses
Leaving me breathless, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run!-

Into the abyss will I run!

[guitar solo]

AHHHHHH!

You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now to tell me why
You come along, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken another time

You come on like a bloodstained hurricane
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
No One to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run!-

Into the abyss will I run!-
I can't let you go!
Yes I am stricken and can't let you go!!

"Answering Machine" by The Replacements

Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never gonna be together
My courage is at its peak,
You know what I mean
How do you say you're OK
To an answering machine?
How do you say "good night" to
An answering machine?

Big time's got its losers,
Small town's got its vices
A handful of friends --
One needs a match, one needs some ice
Call-waiting phone in another time zone
How do you say "I miss you"
To an answering machine?
How do say "good night" to
An answering machine?

("If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again.
If you need help, dial the number...")

"I get enough of that..."

Try to free a slave of ignorance
Try and teach a whore about romance

How do you say "I miss you"
To an answering machine?
How do you say "good night" to
An answering machine?
How do you say "I'm lonely"
To an answering machine?
The message is very plain,
Oh, I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine...

("If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again...
If you need help...")

Collideascope
Careful, don't look down the wrong end
You will see ships that fall out of the sky
Who put that nail in your eye
You make me want to cry with your...

Collideascope
Everything looks smashed and broken
You will see fishes that drown in the sea
If you don't alter your mind
I'd hate you to go blind why don't you

Wakey Wakey Wakey

If you doze much longer
Then life turns to dreaming
Wakey Wakey Wakey
Little Sleeper
If you doze much longer
Then dreams turn to nightmares

You will see one young girl split into two
One half who's false one half true
You better get your glue ready

Careful don't look down the wrong end
All the world's colours will crash into one
Monochrome living's no fun
You're staring down a gun with your

"Crush With Eyeliner" by REM

I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman child
Oh, my kiss breath turpentine

I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
My crush with eyeliner

I'm in like
I'm in-fatuated
It's all too much -- the pressure
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?
Cop an attitude? -- You faker
How can I convince her -- Faker --
That I'm invented too? Yeah

I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves and,
Uh, you know me

She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
Life is strange, yeah, life is strange
What can I make myself be -- Faker --
To make her mine?

I am smitten
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
Oh, kiss breath turpentine
My crush with eyeliner

I am smitten
And you know me, yeah, you know me
I could be your Frankenstein
My crush with eyeliner

I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner

"Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relay, the story was quite clear
Ohh
(Chorus)

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oooh, baby I've been Flying... Mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oooh yeah, I've been Flying, Mama ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm that leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
You've the map that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that blows high in June, when moving through Kashmir.


Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
ohh
(Chorus)

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way they stay, yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there
Let me take you there

"I Am A Scientist" by Guided By Voices

I am a scientist --
I seek to understand me,
All of my impurities and evils yet unknown
I am a journalist --
I write to you to show you
I am an incurable, and nothing else behaves like me

And I know what's right,
But I'm losing sight
Of the clues for which I search and choose
To abuse
To just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a pharmacist,
Prescriptions I will fill you,
Potions, pills and medicines to ease your painful lives
I am a lost soul,
I shoot myself with rock & roll
The hole I dig is bottomless, but nothing else can set me free

And I know what's right,
But I'm losing sight
Of the clues for which I search and choose
To abuse
To just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a scientist -- I seek to understand me
I am an incurable, and nothing else behaves like me

Everything is right
Everything works out right
Everything fades from sight
Because that's all right with me

"BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)" by Nuclear Bubble Wrap

I GOTTA CALL UP TECH SUPPORT!

Took my new computer out of the box
Then set it up
Installing it but get pop up
It’s brand new and corrupt

I’ll tell Bill Gates where to stick it!
I just got this computer!
The hard drive cannot be detected!
I think the problem lies within Microsoft

La la la la la la la la, ooh
Everybody’s gettin’ mad because this happens all the time
Want to smash their PC’s cause of bugs in the design

Scream and kick the PC and then bad words come out of my mouth
Cannot get the thing to run the installation
Can’t detect the keyboard now
I’M SCREAMING!!!
Press any key to continue!
Still the problem lies within Microsoft

La la la la la la la la, ooh
Everybody’s gettin’ mad because this happens all the time
Want to smash their PC’s cause of bugs in the design
Everybody’s gettin’ mad because this happens all the time
Installation disc in the shredder, it feels so fine

Shut off!!!
Restarting time!!!
Could not complete the installation!
Shut off!!!
Takes too much time!!!
The screen just turned to blue!!!
SCREEN JUST TURNED TO BLUE!!!
SCREEN JUST TURNED TO BLUE!!!
Threw some stuff and yelled and swore!
I gotta call up tech support!
Makes me wanna shred some gore!
I gotta call up tech support!
I gotta call up tech support!
I gotta call up tech support!

I’M GONNA YELL AT TECH SUPPORT!

Dial number, I am holding, more swears come out of my mouth
Now I cannot even get the thing to turn on!
So mad my face popped a vessel
HEAD’S STEAMING!
Hammer is my solution!
Stupid problem lies within Microsoft

La la la la la la la la, ooh
Everybody’s gettin’ mad because this happens all the time
Want to smash their PC’s cause of bugs in the design
Everybody’s gettin’ mad because this happens all the time
Throw the CPU out the window, it feels so—

SCREEN JUST TURNS TO BLUE!
SCREEN JUST TURNS TO BLUE!
I’ve had it with tech support!
This will not happen anymore!!!

A poet really..
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick


Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
the tidal destruction
the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
the newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
your suntan does rapidly peel and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.

And the love that I feel is so far away:
I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- and you
shake your head and
say it's a shame.

Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth.
Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.

See there! A son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight.
There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night.
We'll
make a man of him
put him to trade
teach him
to play Monopoly and
to sing in the rain.

The Poet and the painter casting shadows on the water --
as the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea.
The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other --
as the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed.
The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling --
but the master of the house is far away.
The horses stamping -- their warm breath clouding
in the sharp and frosty morning of the day.
And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword.

And the youngest of the family is moving with authority.
Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside.

The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river
where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea:
the builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose
and contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need.
The young men of the household have
all gone into service and
are not to be expected for a year.
The innocent young master -- thoughts moving ever faster --
has formed the plan to change the man he seems.
And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword.

And the oldest of the family is moving with authority.
Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son who puts him to the run.

What do you do when
the old man's gone -- do you want to be him? And
your real self sings the song.
Do you want to free him?
No one to help you get up steam --
and the whirlpool turns you `way off-beam.

LATER.
I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways.
My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed.
So come on all you criminals!
I've got to put you straight just like I did with my old man --
twenty years too late.
Your bread and water's going cold.
Your hair is too short and neat.
I'll judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me.

You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone -- you meet the stares.
You're unaware that your doings aren't done.
And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be.
But how are we supposed to see where we should run?
I see you shuffle in the courtroom with
your rings upon your fingers and
your downy little sidies and
your silver-buckle shoes.
Playing at the hard case, you follow the example of the comic-paper idol
who lets you bend the rules.

So!
Come on ye childhood heroes!
Won't you rise up from the pages of your comic-books
your super crooks
and show us all the way.
Well! Make your will and testament. Won't you?
Join your local government.
We'll have Superman for president
let Robin save the day.

You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time.
The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line.
And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are --
and take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars.
And you wonder who to call on.

So! Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
They're all resting down in Cornwall --
writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual.

LATER.
See there! A man born -- and we pronounce him fit for peace.
There's a load lifted from his shoulders with the discovery of his disease.
We'll
take the child from him
put it to the test
teach it
to be a wise man
how to fool the rest.

QUOTE
We will be geared to the average rather than the exceptional
God is an overwhelming responsibility
we walked through the maternity ward and saw 218 babies wearing nylons
cats are on the upgrade
upgrade? Hipgrave. Oh, Mac.

LATER
In the clear white circles of morning wonder,
I take my place with the lord of the hills.
And the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloured (in neat little rows)
sporting canvas frills.
With their jock-straps pinching, they slouch to attention,
while queueing for sarnies at the office canteen.
Saying -- how's your granny and
good old Ernie: he coughed up a tenner on a premium bond win.

The legends (worded in the ancient tribal hymn) lie cradled
in the seagull's call.
And all the promises they made are ground beneath the sadist's fall.
The poet and the wise man stand behind the gun,
and signal for the crack of dawn.
Light the sun.

Do you believe in the day? Do you?
Believe in the day! The Dawn Creation of the Kings has begun.
Soft Venus (lonely maiden) brings the ageless one.
Do you believe in the day?
The fading hero has returned to the night -- and fully pregnant with the day,
wise men endorse the poet's sight.
Do you believe in the day? Do you? Believe in the day!

Let me tell you the tales of your life of
your love and the cut of the knife
the tireless oppression
the wisdom instilled
the desire to kill or be killed.
Let me sing of the losers who lie in the street as the last bus goes by.
The pavements ar empty: the gutters run red -- while the fool
toasts his god in the sky.

So come all ye young men who are building castles!
Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus.
Mark the precise nature of your fear.
Let me help you pick up your dead as the sins of the father are fed
with
the blood of the fools and
the thoughts of the wise and
from the pan under your bed.
Let me make you a present of song as
the wise man breaks wind and is gone while
the fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and
the nursery rhyme winds along.

So! Come all ye young men who are building castles!
Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus.
Mark the precise nature of your fear.
See! The summer lightning casts its bolts upon you
and the hour of judgement draweth near.
Would you be
the fool stood in his suit of armour or
the wiser man who rushes clear.
So! Come on ye childhood heroes!
Won't your rise up from the pages of your comic-books
your super-crooks and
show us all the way.
Well! Make your will and testament.
Won't you? Join your local government.
We'll have Superman for president
let Robin save the day.
So! Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you through?
They're all resting down in Cornwall -- writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition of the Boy Scout Manual.

OF COURSE
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.

"Hey" by The Pixies

Hey
Been trying to meet you
Hey
Must be a devil between us,
Or whores in my head,
Whores at my door,
Whores in my bed,
But hey,
Where
Have you
Been?
If you go, I will surely die
We're chained {14x}

"Uh!"
Said the man to the lady
"Uh!"
Said the lady to the man she adored
And the whores, like a choir,
Go "Uh" all night
And Mary, ain't you tired to this?
"Uh"
Is
The
Sound
That the mother makes when the baby breaks
We're chained {17x}

Time for a Beatles Song: Only A Northern Song

If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not;
He just wrote it like that.

When you're listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are, they just play it like that

It doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song.

It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
As it's only a Northern song.

If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct, there's nobody there.

And I told you there's no one there.

"Scatterbrained" by Lemon Demon

Lately, I’ve not been feeling so good.
Like I’m just random knots in the wood.
I’m careful where I crawl
If nothing else at all.

Some friends come by at seven o’ clock.
They ask if I’ll go out for a walk.
I tell them, “Not today,”
But they take me anyway.

Now, won’t you tell me why I feel so scatterbrained?
The moon still hasn’t come back since it’s waned.
It can’t be what I’m looking for… I’m thinking but I don’t know.

"My Back Pages" by Bob Dylan

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Department S - "Is Vic There?"

The night is young,
The moon is mellow
And there's music in my ears saying
Is Vic there?

I hear ringin' in the air,
So I answer the phone
A voice comes over clear saying
Is Vic there?

The night is young,
The moon is mellow
And there's music in my ears saying
Is Vic there?

I hear ringin' in the air,
So I answer the phone,
And a voice comes over clear saying
Is Vic There?

The night is young,
The moon is mellow
And there's music in my ears.
Is Vic there?

Is Vic there?

Is Vic there?

"Valley of the Damned" by Dragonforce

On a cold dark winter night, hidden by the stormy light
A battle rages for the right, for what will become
In the valley of the damned, a warrior with sword in hand
He travels fast across the land, for freedom he rides

And the sign from the master on high
He screams aloud and across, hear the cry
For the kingdom of fire and ice
And the power to be alive

Be strong ride on, carry on through the war
Come along carry on, living for ever more

On the wings of death, by the hands of doom
By the darkest light, from the darkest moon
Crossing silent seas, over mountains high
all will stand as one tonight

(Chorus)
On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will call us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendor
Our swords will shine over the light

In the valley of the damned
Day breaks with golden strand
Over pastures green it glows
To where night returns

In the shadows faces appear
Warriors wearing full metal gear
Join together one and all before the glorious light
Rise up, gather round, come and hear what is said
Use your senses open your mind don't you ever forget

On the wings of life, by the hands of hope
By the brightest light from the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
To the valley of the damned!

(Chorus x3)

"Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks

Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H Club,
Both active in the FFA
After graduation Mary Anne went out
Lookin' for a bright new world,
Wanda looked all around this town
And all she found was Earl

Well, it wasn't two weeks after she got married
That Wanda started gettin' abused
She put on dark glasses and long-sleeved blouses
And makeup to cover a bruise
Well, she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there,
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in Intensive Care

Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red-eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan,
And it didn't take them long to decide...
That Earl had to die

Goodbye, Earl
Those black-eyes peas,
They tasted all right to me, Earl
You're feelin' weak?
Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl?
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp, Earl?

The cops came by to bring Earl in,
They searched the house high and low
Then they tipped their hats and said, "Thank you, ladies.
If you hear from him, let us know."
Well, the weeks went by and Spring turned to Summer,
And Summer faded into Fall,
And it turns out he was a missing person
Who nobody missed at all

So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand
Out on High 109
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam,
And they don't lose any sleep at night...
'Cause Earl had to die

Goodbye, Earl
We need a break
Let's go out to the lake, Earl
We'll pack a lunch,
And stuff you in the trunk, Earl
Well, is that all right?
Good! Let's go for a ride, Earl
Hey!



* (Note: The Dixie Chicks do not advocate premeditated murder, but love getting even.)

"Lost Souls in Endless Times" by Dragonforce

Spend all our lives on what we believe in
Struggle day by day but never retrieving
Taking our chances and follow the footsteps
Ancestors will take us to this fight
At the time it was blistering snowing

Never really know about where we were going
Time is coming now to cross over
Here and now until the curtain lowers

Slaying all the evil down below
Onwards we ride now to what we know
Strong enough to stay and carry on forever
Brace your soul to fight whenever

Never know how far we travelled we will have our stand
Across the deepest oceans gold is in our hands
Good things will come for those who wait we can’t deny
Still the battle raging and the fire burns inside

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail till the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind
For the souls lost in endless time

Searching never ending for the chaos ascending
You forgot the spirits all times pretending
Passing shades of darkness in the world around you
Finally insanity in death has found you.

On the edge of life trying to pull you under
Deep inside the storm there’s a raging thunder
Sacrifice your innocence for persecution
As we now prepare for the revolution

Slaying all the evil down below
Onwards we ride now to what we know
Strong enough to stay and carry on forever
Brace your soul to fight whenever

In a time of fire we’re searching blind inside the mind
Run away to hell’s damnation one day we will find
Suddenly the skies are falling too late for us all
Crashing down on all creation as the towers fall

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind
For the souls lost in endless time

Stand Before the worlds of freedom
Rise above them all
Ride towards the battle raging
Victory behold
Blackened Steel of death tonight
Our legions now descend
Far Beyond the gates of glory
Time to rise again

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind

For the souls lost in endless time (x3)

"Lubbock or Leave It" by the Dixie Chicks

Dust bowl, Bible belt
Got more churches than trees
Raise me, praise me, couldn't save me
Couldn't keep me on my knees
"Oh Boy,"
"Rave On" down loop 289
That'll be the day you see me back
In this fools' paradise

Temptation's strong
(Salvation's gone)
I'm on my way
To hell's half acre
How will I ever,
How will I ever
Get to Heaven now?

Throwin' stones from the top of your rock,
Thinkin' no one can see
The secrets you hide behind
Your southern hospitality
On the strip the kids get lit
So they can have a real good time,
Come Sunday they can just take their pick
From the crucifix skyline

Temptation's strong
(Salvation's gone)
I'm on my way
To hell's half acre
How will I ever,
How will I ever
Get to Heaven now?
Get to Heaven now...

Paris, Texas, Athens, Georgia's
Not what I had in mind
As I'm getting out, I laugh to myself
'Cause this is the only place
Where, as you're gettin' on the plane,
You can see Buddy Holly's face

I hear they hate me now,
Just like they hated you
Maybe when I'm dead and gone,
I'm gonna get a statue, too

Temptation's strong

To hell's half acre
How will I ever,
How will I ever
Get to Heaven now?
Get to Heaven now...

How will I ever
Get to Heaven now?

"Long Train Runnin'" by Doobie Brothers

Down around the corner
A half a mile from here
You CAN see them LONG trains RUN
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love

You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be comin' back
Without love
Where would you be RIGHT now
Without love

Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' Mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love
Where would you be now - now, now, now
Without love

WELL THE pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Where would you be now

"Mama, You Been on My Mind" by Bob Dylan

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset,
I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget."
I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet,
Mama, you been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
It don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow,
But mama, you're just on my mind.

I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I got no place for you t' go.
I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know,
Mama, you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror.
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind.

"Ten Thousand Fists" by Disturbed

Survivor!!
Survivor!!

One more god damn day
When I know what I want
And my want will be considered tonight
(Ah-Ah)
Considered tonight
(Ah-Ah)
Just another day
When all that I want will
Mark me as a sinner tonight
(Ah-Ah)
I'm a sinner tonight
Yeah

People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you
Then walk away
You will remember
The night you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air

Power un-restrained dead on the mark
Is what we will deliver tonight
(Ah-Ah)
deliver tonight
(Ah-Ah)
Pleasure fused with pain
This triumph of the soul
Will make you shiver tonight
(Ah-Ah)
Will Make you shiver tonight
Yeah

People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you
Then walk away
You will remember
The night you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air

We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and haunted behind (x4)

People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you
Then walk away
You will remember
The night you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air
Ten thousand fists in the air
Ten thousand fists in the air

"Sat In Your Lap" by Kate Bush

I see the people working,
And see it working for them.
And so I want to join in,
But then I find it hurts me.

Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.

I see the people happy,
So can it happen for me?
'Cause when I am unhappy,
There's nothing that can move me.

Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that heaven is hell.
Some say that hell is heaven.

I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think I'm king,
(I just begin.)

I've been doing it for years.
My goal is moving near.
It says, "Look! I'm over here."
Then it up and disappears.

Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that knowledge is ho-ho-ho-ho.

I want to be a lawyer.
I want to be a scholar.
But I really can't be bothered.
Ooh, just gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme gimme gimme gimme!

Some say that knowledge is ho, ho, ho.
Some say that knowledge is ho, ho, ho.
Some say that heaven is hell.
Some say that hell is heaven.

I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think everything's going great,
(I just begin,)
Hey, I get the break,
Hey, I'm gonna take it all--
(I just begin.)
When I'm king--
(-- just begin.)

In my dome of ivory,
A home of activity,
I want the answers quickly,
But I don't have no energy.

I hold a cup of wisdom,
But there is nothing within.
My cup, she never overfloweth,
And 'tis I that moan- and groaneth.

Some grey and white matter,
"Give me the karma, mama!"
I'm coming up the ladder,
"A jet to Mecca,"
I'm coming up the ladder,
"Tibet or Jeddah,"
Up the ladder...
"To Salisbury,
A monastery,
The longest journey,
Across the desert,
Across the weather,
Across the elements,
Across the water!"

"Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins

Freak out
And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'cause they know
Who is righteous, What is bold
So I'm told
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?

Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
'cause deep down
They are frightened and they're scared
If you don't stare

Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know,
Should have listened when I was told

Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
let me out

"Positively 4th Street" by Bob Dylan

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down,
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt,
Why then don't you show it?

You say you lost your faith,
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose,
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with?

You see me on the street,
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you? Good luck,"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it?

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief,
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem?

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes,
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

"Loser" by Beck

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control
Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin’ I’m insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don’t believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park

Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

(double barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
’cuz one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag
One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hangin’ from a pigeon wing
You can’t write if you can’t relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite
who's chokin’ on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(drive-by body-pierce)
(yo bring it on down)
Soooooooyy....

?em llik uoy t'nod yhw os ,ybab resol a m'I rodedrep nu yoS
[You can hear hear it if you reverse it.]

(I’m a driver, I’m a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(I can’t believe you)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(Sprechen Sie Deutsch hier, Baby!)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(know what I’m sayin’? )

I love that song.


"There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" by Kirsty MacColl

Oh darling, why'd you talk so fast?
Another evening just flew past tonight
And now the daybreak's coming in,
And I can't win and it ain't right

You tell me all you've done and seen
And all the places you have been without me
Well, I don't really want to know
But I'll stay quiet, and then I'll go
And you won't have no cause to think about me

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis,
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis,
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

Oh darling, you're so popular
You were the best thing new in Hicksville ...
With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
News is you changed your Pick-up for a Seville

And now I'm lying here alone
'Cause you're out there on the phone to some star in New York
I can hear you laughing now,
And I can't help feeling that somehow
You don't mean anything you say at all

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis,
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis,
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis,
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis,
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

I said he's a liar and I'm not sure about you
I said he's a liar and I'm not sure about you
He's a liar and I'm not sure about you

My one friend says every time he hears it, he thinks of me like it's my theme song.

"Mama" by My Chemical Romance

Mama we all go to hell.
Mama we all go to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well.
Mama we all go to hell.

Oh well now, Mama we're all gonna die-hii.
Mama we're all gonna die-ie-ie.
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry.
Mama we're all gonna die.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah,
We let the fires just bathe us, yeah,
You made us oh so famous
We’ll never let you goooooo.
And when you go don't return to me my love.

Mama we're all full of lies.
Mama we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size.
Mama we're all full of lies.

Well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should've raised a baby girl
I should've been a better son
If you can coddle the infection they can amputate at once,
You should've been!
I could've been a better son.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah,
We let the fires just bathe us yeah,
You made us oh so famous,
We'll never let you go.

She said "you aint no son of mine"
For what you done they're gonna find
A place for you and just your mind
Your manners when you go.

And when you go don't return to me my love,
That's right.

Mama we all go to hell,
Mama we all go to hell,
It’s really quite pleasant except for the smell,
Mama we all go to hell.

Mama, Mama, Mama, ohhhh.
Mama, Mama, Mama.

Liza: And If you would call me your sweet heart, I'd maybe then sing you a song

Gerard: But there's shit that I've done with this FUCK of a gun,
You would cry out your eyes all along.

We’re damned after all.
Through fortune and flame we fall.
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way
To return FROM the ashes you call.

We all carry on
when our brothers in arms are gone
So raise your glass high for tomorrow we die
And ret
