Girl I already told you I love you; I already loaned you my ring.
So how come just when everything was going so good, you gotta bring up this commitment thing?
You say you ain't gettin' 100% of my love and I admit it's true. But long before today I gave most of it away - so there's hardly any left for you.
I'm saving 4% for a dear, dear friend friend who's lying sick in bed.
And 8% for a pal of mine who fell and hit her head.
6% for my Springsteen tapes; 8% for my car,
12 for the good old U.S.A, and 5% for my guitar!
But I can give you 8% of my love, 8% of my love.
8 hundredths of the time you're the only girl I'm dreaming of.
Yeah yeah yeah! 8% of my heart, 8% of my soul.
Just point-oh-eight, but girl you're great - you're the only one that makes me whole.
(But when you add it up, that only comes to 43 - fourty-three!
That should leave 57 all for me - all for me!)
I'm sorry hon, that's not the situation.
I've just begun, don't spoil my concentration.
Now there's 9% for Miss Snodgrass who tutors me in science. And add another 10% for the New York football Giants. 4% for my mom and dad, 8% for my bike. 18% for my leather jacket baby - if you don't like it you can take a hike!
'Cause you still got 8% of my love! 8% of my love.
8 hundredths of the time you're the only girl I'm dreaming of.
Ye-aaaa-ah.
8% of my love. 8% will have to do.
I already went and spent 92%, but I'm saving all the rest for you.
I already went and spent 92% but I'm saving all the rest for you.

My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide...
'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will.
Ex girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want...
to give her 7 years
For being sad.

And I've got the blues for you
And I've got the blues for you
And I'll bust my brains out for you
And I'll tear my hair out
I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you
If you don't believe what I'm singing
At three o'clock in the morning, babe, well
I'm singing my song for you
(Sorry for the double post)
-
Sometimes you get what you want
sometimes you get what you need
but you're always gonna get what you deserve
It's all about what you want,
if you can get what you need.
But you're always gonna get what you deserve.

Two for today:
Los Refresments:
"There ain't no moral to this story at all, and anything I tell you very well may be a lie. There ain't no moral to these stories at all, and everything I tell you you can bet will be a lie."
It just goes to lend credence to my theory that most poets are less interested in telling the story and more interested in using words.
and Too Much Joy:
"You make me doubt that I'm not stupid."
Just cuz, yeah.
-
THe children are clapping as I fall on the floor
My heart's torn and broken, and they just scream for more
If I'm not the sole fool who pulls his trousers down
then dear Madam Barnum, I resign as clown.
-
Roll us both down a mountain and I'm sure the fat man would win
-
There's an old Virginian vibraphone
With a calculated gait
And a man who thinks he's Al Capone
With a cumberbund and cape
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to the man if you feel he needs talking to
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
There's an orchestra in rococo
and an insulated dwarf
And the ships are sinking in the sea
As they sail from the shores
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
For the grunion in the sand entwining
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to yourself if you feel you need talking to
-
I love that song.
-
Chewing on a piece of grass, walking down the road.
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow.
But you don't care, I know.
Ventura Highway in the sunshine,
Where the days are longer,
the nights are stonger than moonshine.
You're gonna go, I know.
-
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying, no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
-
I love that song.
Mine? If you listen to Toad the Wet Sprocket, then you get some serious groovy points.
-
I used to be a hugemongous fan of theirs. Toad was the last concert I saw before my mission (narrowly beating out Ray Davies, long story, another thread, another time). I still have the T-Shirt, which always raises lots of questions. Have the Space Ghost ep on tape two when what's his bucket appeared and quoted Monty Python
Corporeal Brown has always creaped me out, and lots of hte songs on "Pale" have brilliant mood creation. Very easy to identify with. Very evocative.
Watching me
A bird upon a roof with coal-black feathers
Cocks his head
To catch my eye
Wandering and unfocused I cannot meet his stare
He takes to wing
Silhouette against the sun
Surrounded by the glare
Funny how the days go by invisibly
And faster than I realize the things I think about
Strange to find the calendar my enemy
And scared that when I die so will the things
I think about
-
I have all their cds, and a whole lot of bootlegged concerts. The concerts have been posted on the internet with Glen and the rest of the band's blessings, with the only rule being no videos (on his website Glen said that videos of himself creep him out or something like that). I'll post the link:
http://www.toadbase.com/welcome.aspx
Have you heard any of Glen's solo stuff? I saw him in concert recently, and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Search out one of his solo acoustic sets in the archives on that site, you won't be disappointed.
-
Is Glen's site the best place to get the concerts as well?
-
He doesn't release any concerts directly through his website, except for a live cd he put out. To find his concerts, search the ToadBase archives for concerts that are in MP3 format. If you hit the downloads tab you can find some other stuff, usually recordings that have been cleaned up a bit.

Well slow gin fiz goes mighty fast
When you drink it by the pitcher
And not by the glass, uh-huh
-
We hate it when our friends become successful
And if they're northern, that makes it even worse
And if we can destroy them
You bet your life we will
Destroy them
If we can hurt them
Well, we may as well ...
It's really laughable
Ha, ha, ha ...
You see, it should've been me
It could've been me
Everybody knows
Everybody says so
-
bat your eyes girl, be otherwordly
count your blessings, seduce a stranger
what's so wrong with being happy?...
...I suggest we learn to love ourselves
before it's made illegal
when will we learn? when will we change?
just in time to see it all come down
those left standing will make millions
writing books on the way it should have been...
-Warning, Incubus
-
Now I'm calling all citizens from all over the world,
This is Captain America calling.
I picked you up when you were down on your knees,
won't you catch me now? I'm falling.
-
There's a song about my dog?
-
There's a song by Sting called "Conversation With a Dog"
-
Dont it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love forever gone?
We're only just as happy as everyone else seems to think we are.

This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be, So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane, All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best, The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us, The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, C'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end
-
My request is from now on people put the source of the lyrics--i.e. the musician and the name of the song--in case some of us want to find it.
If that's not too much trouble, of course.
-
That is strictly against the rules. No context! No information! The lyrics shall stand alone or they shall not stand at all!
-
Really? Or are you just pulling my leg?
-
I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
I believe you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
...
I really enjoy this song, but it also makes me laugh. When I listen to the lyrics I can't decide whether I find them catchy or they make me want to giggle uncontrollably.
And if you want to know who it is by, I will tell you (whether or not it is against these so-called "rules" Fell mentioned without proof).
-
That's the fourth rule: Fell needs no proof.
-
and I never give it anyway. We've always just kind of posted lyrics here. No further commentary needed.
-
Methinks it is better without. It's nice to appreciate lyrics standing alone as pure poetry, without the prejudice attached to knowing what particular genre of music they have been gleaned from.
-
Ah, I see. Now, what Master Gopher says makes sense. Unlike Fell's "Obey me because I am big and powerful and a moderator and SO THERE!" All you had to do was explain it logically to me. ;)
-
But...my response was perfectly logical.
-
logical. Not accurate. But logical.
-
I think it was the other way: Fell was accurate (it is to be so because ye almighty mods say so - which is true) - but not necessarily logical - because there isn't any actual reason.
Whereas I was logical in my reasoning, but that may not be the *real* reasons why Fell wants it that way.
</end useless elaboration on a boring semantics topic>

How long can we look at each other
down the barrel of a gun?
-
You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand.
-
It's hard to be a man with a gun in your hand.

In a tiny karaoke bar
on the banks of the mighty Bosphorus
a Japanese man in a business suit
sings "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"
And the giant cyborg German dudes
dance with sexy French Canadians
and the overweight Americans
wear their patriotic jumpsuits
-
It's "Muscular Cyborg German dudes", at least in the version I've heard.
-
I'm just a fool learning loving somebody don't make them love you.
-
Jock said no when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use calling 'cause the sky is falling
And I'm getting pretty near the end
-
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.

I sang that song with my class in 4th grade. We had an excellent musically-minded teacher who plays guitar and harmonica. Friday afternoon was singing time. It rocked, man. :) </nostalgia>
-
although things like this make me sick, in a case like this I'll get away with it.
-
I found it hard;
It's hard to find.
Oh well, whatever--
Nevermind.
-
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love an emotion
You've got me suspended motion
-less in time.

Run through the cold of the night
As passion burns in your heart
Ready to fight, a knife held close by your side
Like a proud wolf alone in the dark
With eyes that watch the world
And my name like a shadow
On the face of the moon
Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer
And then, we can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world
Cold fire clenched to my heart
In the blue of night
Torn by this pain, I paint your name in sound
And the girl of the dawn with eyes of blue, and angel wings
The songs of the season are her only crown
Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer
And then, we can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world
We met in the mist of morning
And parted deep in the night
Broken sword and shield, and tears that never fall
But run through the heart
Washed away by the darkest water
The world is peaceful and still
Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer
And then, we can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

The scary thing is thats video game music.
The scarier thing is I've heard of it.
The scariest thing is I'm listening to eighties music. I'll spare you the cool lyrics...
-
The scary thing is thats video game music.
I know. EUOL has converted me to OCRs and Video Game music--practically full geekdom.
-
EUOL is an OCRer??!?!??!
See, I've been on the site since it was orange and had DJ Pretzels head on the top. I downloaded EVERY MIX on the site. On Dialup.
-
On DIAL-UP??
*Passes Out*
*And Again*
-
What do you think I was doing for those three years at BDC? Hanging out after school with friends?
It wasn't just dialup, it was dialup on a crappy winmodem.
-
uhh...
Optical Character Recognition?
-
I actually don't know what OCR stands for--only that it refers to remixes of music from videogames. They are free, so EUOL has downloaded a ton of them and then gave them to me. What OCR exactly stands for, and why, will have to be explained to you by someone more knowledgeable, like JamPaladin or EUOL.

OCR = OverClocked ReMix
A site that grew out of a comic about emulation written by David "DJ Pretzel" Lloyd" in order to increase and regularly practice his music skills. Though Video Game Music ReMixing sites existed, such as www.kwed.org, OCR was the first to feature and accept music of all genre, not just techno, and from all systems past and present, not just C64.
Since that time several years ago, OCR has gone through around three site redesigns, the creation of a judges panel to accept or reject various mixes, an accepted amount of mixes over 1500 now, (albeit not quite since some were removed), a huge community growth, and a restatement of the sites mission statement, changing the focus of the site from remakes to reintepretation, a move which split the community in two, and ended up with www.vgmix.com forming and eventually also redesigning.
Today, there's the site, the forums, an official podcast and a huge community. OCR doesn't mean video game music remix, but any song bearing the OCR title has been accepted on this particular site, kinda a guaranteee of quality.

hen you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
and how you built a tower tumbling thru the trees
in holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
and your mom would stick a fork right into daddys shoulder and your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor as we would lay and learn what each others bodies were for
-
Do some people wind up with the one that they adore
In a heart-shaped hotel room it?s what a heart is for
The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high?
Hello partner, kiss your name bye-bye
Ooh sometimes...
Romantic piscean seeks angel in disguise
Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes
Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male
Hello partner, tell me love can?t fail
& it?s you and me in the summertime
We?ll be hand in hand down in the park
With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
& all the sunshine banishes the dark
Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor
In a distant hell-hole room, the third world war
But all I see is films where colourless despair
Meant angry young men with immaculate hair
Ooh sometimes...
Get up a voice inside says there?s no time for looking down
Only a pound a word & you?re talking to the town
But how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart
Just to touch a lonely heart
-
by three a.m. all the morning birds will be crying
and that old highway will be sighing
and my dreams feel as cold as my bones on the long walk home.
And my coat is old and growin thin
and my feet are numb and stumbling
and its many the thought of a long lost friend that comes to me again and again.
And I want to thank my Sarah Bell who blessed me more than words can tell and who picked me straight up out of hell,
and I miss her real bad but I love her well.
And I remember Don Clancy as a wild young man,
but I haven't seen hide nor hair of him since he lost his mind and was born again off the coast of Oregon.
Oh where are you now, oh where are you now and do you even think of me?
I'm telling you now,
you are the stars that I'll follow endlessly, endlessly, endlessly, oh....well,
I'm singin this song but it won't take long.
On these frozen streets I'm half way home and the sky above me forms a beautiful dome, of blue and pink and starry gold.
-
Oh my God, I've gotta gotta gotta gotta move on
Where do you move when what you're moving from
Is yourself? (Is yourself?)
The universe works on a math equation
that never even ever really even is any end
Infinity spirals out creation
We're on the tip of its tongue, and it is saying
We aint sure where you stand
You ain't machines and you ain't land
And the plants and the animals, they are linked
And the plants and the animals eat each other
-
When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
And your mom would sink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
-
I love you so dearly
I love you so clearly
I wake your up in the morning, so early
Just to tell you I've got the wandering blues
I've got the wandering blues
And I'm going to quit these rambling ways
Someday soon.
The littlist birds
Sing the prettiest songs
-
I really don't mind what happens now and then
as long as you'll be my friend in the end
if I go crazy then will you still call me superman
If I'm alive then will you be there holding my hand
-
Can you see the line where the water ends?
Throws itself off into oblivion.
As sky goes so complacent
And then spits a little compassion.
Dusk approaches, the city's carnivorous.
*Moisture's* sweat like it wants to eat us
And devour everything but this mouth
Sings of this glorious fetus.
Tucked deep inside the rafts of blood.
Everywhere it seemed that there's a memory.
Sometimes memories kill me.
As I travel the avenues of the streets
And shadowed alleys of this %&*ing city.
Everyday day it seem to love a little less.
Seem to love to chew on my calmness.
And drive me to the end of myself
Where he is.
Dispose of me.
You're like a man without skin.
Everything he touches seems to hurt him .
And he says maybe I'm just a person.
But I'll be for you if you let me.
All I want is animals to be free.
Run around and #)*% right out in the street.
Every day they're gonna wanna eat me.
But I'll try not to take it personally.

Here's one of the reasons we love Bob Dylan so much:
She said, "You look different."
I said, "Well, I guess."

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong... this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer, I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines...the tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi...hurryin' into spring
The moonlight on the bayou.......a Creole tune.... that fills the air
I dream... about Magnolias in bloom......and I'm wishin' I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more...I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
(instrumental break)
The moonlight on the bayou.......a Creole tune.... that fills the air
I dream... about Magnolias in bloom......and I'm wishin' I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more...I miss the one I care for
More.....more than I miss.......New Orleans

Mother mary, quite contrary
kiss the boys and make them wary
things are getting just a little bit scary
it's a wonder I can still breathe
never been much of a doubting thomas
but nothing breaks like a broken promise
-
"... there as a moment of silence. And then, instead of a crash, and instead of a screech of tires, or a scream, there was just one very loud tick of a clock, and then a crazy symphony of grinding bone and metal. Wrists, snapping like toothpicks, broken legs flailing out at weird angles as she smashed throught the windshield in an explosive shower of glass and blood."
Wow. There's a man who knows how to use words. The earlier lines makd the tick of the clock even more impressive, and the closing lines following it are incredible.

Oh no, I've said too much;
I haven't said enough.

I guess I'll have to rent it.

All I want is to be your harbor!
The light in me will guide you home;
All I want is to be your harbor!

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when.
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend,
Which came as some surprise. I spoke into his eyes:
"I thought you died alone, a long long time ago."
"Oh no, not me, I never lost control.
You're face to face with the man who sold the world"

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.
So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.
The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.
Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.
The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."
So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds
-
'Twas in the early evening
Near the presence of the moon
You told me you would meet me here
Well now is not too soon
This dagger twisting in my back
Tells me I never should
Have trusted everything to fall
From beggar to the fool
I see your face like every race
A serpent with two arms
Devouring me while rains the sun
With dreams in foreign lands
This cold and dark tormented hell
Is all I'll ever know
So when you get to heaven
May the devil be the judge
With another bag of bricks
(Edited b/c my copy-and-paste did somthing weird and I didn't notice it before.)

He expects you'll let him off the hook.
Something that you heard
While you were sleeping
Left you shaken while he stirred.
When you awaken you will
Make him eat his words--
Right off the hook.

Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
-
And if a double-decker bus
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Is a wonderful way to di
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure and the privelege is mine
There's a light that never goes out.

Can I smell your gasoline?
Can I pet your wolverine?
On the day my best friend died, I could not get my carpet clean.
-
I never thought it would end like this
Just because I've got no t*ts
I'll shave my legs, I'll wear a bra
I'll even cut my pen*s off for you...
(Aw, that's so sweet)
She has a girlfriend now.
-
I'm gnawing on the knowledge
That I have been burnt
And I'm learning things that I
Should've already learnt
Everyone I ever knew
Was so kind and coy
I was with a girl
But it felt like I was with a boy
I can't even remember
If we were lovers
Or if I just wanted to
But I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
But it wasn't you
-
you don't remember me but i remember you
i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
but who can decide what they dream?
and dream i do...
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
have you forgotten all i know
and all we had?
you saw me mourning my love for you
and touched my hand
i knew you loved me then
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
i look in the mirror and see your face
if i look deep enough
so many things inside that are just like you are taking over
-
I told you that we could fly
because well have wings
but some of us don't know why
-
Don't need no lava lamps.
Don't need no soap on a rope--
No pictures of Mexican kids with those really big eyes
Or the dogs playing poker.
-
People you love
Will turn their backs on you
You'll lose your hair
Your teeth
Your knife will fall out of its sheath
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
-
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries: did he hear a good-bye?
Or even "hello?"
-
You can't fool me, I saw you when you came out
You got your momma's taste but you got my mouth
And you will always have a part of me
Nobody else is ever going to see
Gracie girl
With your cards to your chest walking on your toes
What you got in the box only Gracie knows
And I would never try to make you be
Anything you didn't really want to be
Gracie girl
Life flies by in seconds
You're not a baby Gracie, you're my friend
You'll be a lady soon but until then
You gotta do what I say
You nodded off in my arms watching TV
I won't move you an inch even thought my arm's asleep
One day you're gonna want to go
I hope we taught you everything you need to know
Gracie girl
And there will always be a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see but you and me
My little girl
My Gracie girl
-
So what you had didn't fit
Among the pretty things
Never fear, never fear
I now know where you've been
Braids have been un-tied
As ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
But my tears you'll taste
Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson?
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
-
Soldier of fortune, open your cookie,
Unfold the paper, stop, lookie lookie
Take an order to march to the kitchen,
Food For the Masses, that's the new mission.
-
Bye bye baby don't be long
I worry about you while you're gone
-
Someone's in the backyard, banging on the door,
daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more,
his baby's curled up on a stranger's floor
momma's thinking that family dinners weren't too much to ask for
Everybody here has got a story to tell,
everybody's been through their own hell
there's nothing special about getting hurt,
getting over it, that takes the work
because one way or another, we all need each other
nothing's going to turn out the way you thought it would
friends and lovers don't you duck and cover
because everything comes out the way it should
blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek
blessed are the hungry, blessed are the weak
blessed are the ones on the other side
blessed are we for just being alive
one day I stopped wanting anything at all
the heavens opened up like a waterfall
no use in worrying about when it ends
just for now, be thankful for what I get
because one way or another, man's going to suffer
makes no difference the way you want it
friends and lovers don't you duck and cover
because everything comes out the way it should in the end
seems like life is a palindrome,
cry when you die, cry when you're born
in between a song about the ups and downs
add them all together, cancel each other out
because one way or another, one way or another
You won't get what you wanted, but you'll get enough for sure
One way or another, the winter pays for the summer
Won't get what you wanted, but what you got'll be good
Someone's in the backyard banging on the door
Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more
His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor
Momma's thinking happy endings weren't too much to ask for
-
I try to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like i'm falling in the ocean, let the waves up and take me down.
-
See them driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain.
-
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me.
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee.
You're an ocean
You're an ocean
Settle down. Settle down. What's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean.
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion.
You've got me suspended motionless in time.
-
HAHA! it's about Santa Barbara, no seriously it is.
Sunsets lost in
Skies of hazy greys
June gloom sets in
Puts me in a daze
Nothing changes
All we do is wait
Our heads hanging
Shaking in dismay
Cuz everyone's afraid
Looks like the end of days
But it takes so much more
For anyone to say
We need another way
But if we wanted one
We'd do it just the same
Winter's coming
Still we're soaked in sun
Summer somehow
Split us one by one
Days are darker
Than they've ever been
But who could tell when
Summer never ends
(we've capsized in our end)
Looks like the end of days
But it takes so much more
For anyone to say
We need another way
But if we wanted one
We'd do it just the same
Words don't change a thing
Sun disguises darkness
Wish that I could save you
Wish that I could stop this
Looks like the end of days
But it takes so much more
For anyone to say
We need another way
But if we wanted one
We'd do it just the same
This song is called june gloom, it's by the like.

How can one man stop his ending?

Toot sweet
Toot sweet
The candy you whistle
the whistle you eat

someone's been watching too much Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
as graceful as a newborn
he waves his chubby fists
like blades of chubby windmills
he chops the sky to bits.
Watch the fat man swing!
-
My two year old loves Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and has started to sing the songs. Sigh.
Dont want to be a fat man,
People would think that I was
Just good fun.
Would rather be a thin man,
I am so glad to go on being one.
Too much to carry around with you,
No chance of finding a woman who
Will love you in the morning and all the night time too.
Dont want to be a fat man,
Have not the patience to ignore all that.
Hate to admit to myself half of my problems
Came from being fat.
Wont waste my time feeling sorry for him,
I seen the other side to being thin.
Roll us both down a mountain
And Im sure the fat man would win.

Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again.
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that funny day,
And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because
Its bound to be less boring than today;
Its bound to be less boring than tomorrow.
-
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind when you called on the angels above for the six hundred sixty-sixth time?
-
This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
---Muse
Apparitions still won't leave me alone
It's as if you never left
How am I supposed to remember you
When you won't let me forget?
---Bare Naked Ladies

A politician looks me in the eye
and says to me,
"There is no crisis here.
There's no conspiracy."
-
You've got the touch
You've got the power
You never bend you never break, you seam to know what it takes
you're a fighter
-
And ya have no reason,
to be so insolent to me.
You're so pretty the way you are.
-
Can you tell that I'm planning prevenge?
Read my mind, yes, I'm planning prevenge
At the freak show,
in the front row,
mi amigo,
lost in the sound.
Now you know that the girls are just making it up,
Now you know that the boys are just pushing their luck
Now you know that my ride doesn't really exist,
and my name's not really on that list.

Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig
För det jag bjuder så gerna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej
…
Sådana gåfvor toge jag väl emot
Om du vore en kristelig qvinna
Men nu så är du det värsta bergatroll
Af Neckens och djävulens stämma
Bergatrollet ut på dörren sprang
Hon rister och jämrar sig svåra
Hade jag fått den fager ungersven
Så hade jag mistat min plåga

June: A woman's place is in the home.

June: And home is where you hang your hat.
John: And that is where you hang your spouse.

My step-mom
We did everything to hate her
She took us down to the edge of Decatur
-
Hm, a triple post.
Patrick, you see, I'm growing a mustache
And though I know I must ask you
Does it really make me look like a man?
Spongebob, being a man is just a tough job
I hope you're picked to be the best spongebobs ever had
Working like a dog at the Krusty Krab
Now wait a minute
I think we hit a wall
I think we hit a psychic wall
Maybe we're just young and we won't know 'til we're old
Too young to free ourselves from this lonely fish bowl
Some kind of wall
Some kind of psychic wall
Some kind of wall
Some kind of psychic wall
We can get a burn
Come on, let's find a way to be happy
Not like Plankton, he will never be satisfied
Always complaining about his life
To his computer wife
You think he would've found by now
To be sought as a king
We don't need a burn

"Put down your chainsaw and listen to me
It's time for us to join in the fight
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It's time to let the bedbugs bite"
-- Nil

That's the kind of guy I am
The kind of guy who needs a girl
who hates guys like me
That's the kind of world this is
The kind of world that spins
to spite you and me.

Hello everyone. A question for those willing to answer: could you give me some lyrics that talk about what you might have done with some friends or a lover? Lyrics that don't easily give away the song, but if someone were to be looking they could find them.
Thanks!
-
i'm not sure I get what you mean by don't easily give away the song, but here's one of my favorites:
We could write our names here in the mud
No one's around to see them
We could hang our shoes here in a tree
No one's around to steal them
I could give you a star
You could give me one too
And that way we'd be even
And I could sing a song way out of tune
And not care a bit about it
We could both wear cowboy hats
And pretend that we could speak Italian
I could eat some gum
And make my breath so minty fresh
To kiss you
Your breath will smell like wine
I like that a lot
Especially when I kiss you
And I could hit my funny bone real hard
And you could call me sweetheart
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about individuals
But he's dead anyway
Let's go down together
Down together
Let's go down
let's go...
We could all wear ripped up clothes
And pretend that we were Dead Hot Workshop
I could drive a long long way
And not even have the gas to make it
We could chase our shadows around the lawn
until we're both exhausted
I could forget the words just one more time
and hope that none of yous notices
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about me
What's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me
and What's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me
and as long as I'm going to stand here to have an aneurism for thirty dollars an hour, somebody please pass me another beer
let's go
we could find a speck of dust and scribble down our life stories
-
unrelated to gemm's request just some cool lyrics
You said the cinders are falling like snow.
there is poetry in despair
And we sang with unrivaled beauty.
bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.
Of blue and grey.
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in
the flesh of the city.
The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
into the earth like a message.
-
The best thing you ever did for me
Was to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life, after all.
-
There's just a little bit of dust in my eye
It's from the path that you made when you said your goodbyes
I'm not weeping 'cause you won't be here to hold my hand
For your information there's an inflamation in my tear gland
I'm not upset because you left me this way
My eyes are just a little sweaty today
They've been looking around
But not looking for you
They've been looking for you
Even though I told 'em not to
-
Catch your breath.
Hit the wall.
Scream out loud,
As you start to crawl
Back in your cage
The only place
Where they will
Leave you alone.
Cause the weak will seek the weaker till they've broken them.
Could you get it back again?
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down.
-
When you're there
I sleep lengthwise
And when you're gone
I sleep diagonal in my bed.
-
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Troublemaker:
I want to marry your son.
-
What a day, you should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
you should think next time before you start to play,
I wonder what will happen today.
Rub your eyes from no sleep this week, tap your heels home then fall asleep,
asleep in bed you'll do something tomorrow instead.
-
I hope the next boy that you kiss
Has something terribly contagious on his lips
-
I'm the pretty prince of parties
You're a tasty piece of pastry
You're so lighty flighty flakey
I go where the party takes me

Looking at a picture, in a magazine
staring at what they call a beauty queen
you want to, be like her..
losing all the weight to fit in that skirt...
clutching your stomach, letting it all go
telling your self that your an ugly girl..
you are, so lost
you cry tonite
but you dont know why
can you realize,
that that mirror lies
then you'll find the strength, to be alive
yeah youll find the strength, to be alive...
starving yourself in pity and self denial
telling everyone your alrite with your fake smile
thinking your ugly, thinking that you should
when all this time your so beautiful..
you cry tonite
but you dont know why
can you realize,
that that mirror lies
then you'll find the strength, to be alive
yeah youll find the strength, to be alive...
you gotta breakaway, you gotta breakaway
from all of this uncertainty..
why can't you see....
you cry tonite
but you dont know why
can you realize,
that that mirror lies
then you'll find the strength, to be alive
yeah youll find the strength, to be alive...
take all your magazines, toss them in a pile,
followed by your misery and your false style
now she's smiling, holding her head high,
this brand new world is her's tonite...
you cry tonite but you now know why
cause you realize that that mirror lies
and youve found the strength, to be alive
yeah youve found the strength, to be alive...

She went to her closet
and threw away the color
because wearing black is mysterious
but it didn't impress her mother
