"callous" by ani difranco

 

you cried and you cried and you cried wolf

so it took me a minute to understand

that you really were hurt bad

that day you deeply cut your hand

and then that look that you gave me

sent me rushing through guilt's door

i'd already started to feel callous

like i really should care more

 

it was my work that kept me upright

so you called it a crutch

while i drifted off

into dreams of such and such

and by the time we'd come full circle

we knew exactly what to do

just keep looking at the triangle

instead of what it's pointing to

 

but you can't will yourself happy

you can't will your cunt wet

you can't keep standing at the station

pretending you're being met

you can't wear a sign that says 'yours'

when that ain't what you get

 

it flows and flows away from me

my love is a stream

your love is a vaudeville show

so charming and obscene

we both had our moments

we both had our fun

and then i hated to prove 'em all right

all those who said i'd run

 

but you can't will yourself happy

you can't will your cunt wet

you can't keep standing at the station

pretending you're being met

you can't keep wearing a sign that says 'yours'

when that ain't what you get

"i was hoping" by alanis morissette

 

As we were talking outside,

It was cold,

We were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter.

 

My wife is in the next room,

We’ve been having troubles you know,

Please don’t tell her or anyone,

But I need to talk to somebody.

 

You said, ’wouldn’t it be a shame if I knew how great I was

Five minutes before I died? I’d be filled with such regret

Before I took my last breath.’

And I said, ’you’re willing to tell me this now, and you’re not going to die

Anytime soon.’

And I said I haven’t been eating chicken,

Or meat,

Or anything.

 

And you said yes, but you’ve been wearing leather and laughed and said

We’re at the top of the food chain.

And yes you’re still a fine woman,

And I cringed.

 

I was hoping,

I was hoping we could heal each other.

I was hoping,

I was hoping we could be raw together.

 

We left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60’s), said

’good bye, sir. thank you for your business sir. you’re successful and

Established, sir, and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir. and

Your money.’

And when I walked by, they said ’thank you too dear.’

I was all pigtails and cords.

And there was a day when I would’ve said something like,

’hey dude, I could buy and sell this place, so kiss it.’

I too once thought I was owed something.

 

I was hoping,

I was hoping we could challenge each other.

I was hoping,

I was hoping we could crack each other up.

 

I too thought that when proved wrong, I lost somehow.

I too thought life was cruel.

It’s a cycle, really.

You think I’m withdrawing and guilt tripping you.

I think you’re insensitive and I don’t feel heard.

 

And I said ’do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental?

Fundamentally evil? ’

And you said yes.

And I said do you believe in revenge, in right or wrong, good or bad?

And you said ’well, what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency

Room,

Bleeding after beating his kid, and she threw a shoe at his head.

I think what he did was wrong, and I wouldn’t have had a hard time feeling

Compassion for him.’

I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.

 

I was hoping,

I was hoping we could dance together.

I was hoping,

I was hoping we could be creamy together.

"32 flavors" by ani difranco

 

squint your eyes and look closer

i'm not between you and your ambition

i am a poster girl with no poster

i am thirty-two flavors and then some

and i'm beyond your peripheral vision

so you might want to turn your head

cause someday you're going to get hungry

and eat most of the words you just said

 

both my parents taught me about good will

and i have done well by their names

just the kindness i've lavished on strangers

is more than i can explain

still there's many who've turned out their porch lights

just so i would think they were not home

and hid in the dark of their windows

till i'd passed and left them alone

 

and god help you if you are an ugly girl

course too pretty is also your doom

cause everyone harbors a secret hatred

for the prettiest girl in the room

and god help you if you are a phoenix

and you dare to rise up from the ash

a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy

while you are just flying past

 

i'm not trying to give my life meaning

by demeaning you

and i would like to state for the record

i did everything that i could do

i'm not saying that i'm a saint

i just don't want to live that way

no, i will never be a saint

but i will always say

 

squint your eyes and look closer

i'm not between you and your ambition

i am a poster girl with no poster

i am thirty-two flavors and then some

and i'm beyond your peripheral vision

so you might want to turn your head

cause someday you might find you're starving

and eating all of the words you said

Electrical Storm/U2

 

The sea, it swells like a sore head

And the night, it is aching

Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed

And the day, it is breaking

On rainy days we go swimming out

On rainy days swimming in the sound

On rainy days we go swimming out

 

You’re in my mind all of the time

I know that’s not enough

If the sky can crack there must be some way back

For love and only love

Electrical storm

Electrical storm

Baby don’t cry

 

Car alarm won’t let you back to sleep

You’re kept awake dreaming someone else’s dream

Coffee’s cold but it’ll get you through

Compromise, that’s nothing new to you

Let’s see colours that have never been seen

Let’s go to places no one else has been

 

You’re in my mind all of the time

I know that’s not enough

Well, if the sky can crack there must be some way back

To love and only love

Electrical storm

Electrical storm

Electrical storm

Baby don’t cry

 

It’s hot as hell, honey, in this room

Sure hope the weather will break soon

The air is heavy, heavy as a truck

Need the rain to wash away our bad luck

 

Well, if the sky can crack there must be some way back

To love and only love

Electrical storm

Electrical storm

Electrical storm

 

Baby don’t cry

Baby don’t cry

Baby don’t cry

Baby don’t cry

"monty got a raw deal" by r.e.m.

 

Monty this seems strange to me

The movies had that movie thing,

But nonsense has a welcome ring

And heroes don't come easy

 

Now nonsense isn't new to me

I know my head, I know my feet,

But mischief knocked me in the knees

Said, Just let go, just let go

 

I saw the ocean meet the man

I saw you buried in the sand

A friend was there to hold your hand,

Said, Walk on by

 

So, I went walking through the street

I saw you strung up in a tree

A woman knelt there said to me,

Said, Hold your tongue, ma, hold your tongue

 

You don't owe me anything

You don't want this sympathy (waste your breath)

Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)

For the silver screen

 

That nonsense doesn't mean a thing,

They tried to bust you in a sting,

But virtue isn't everything

So, don't waste time

 

Now, here's a rhyme that you can steal

Put this on your reel to reel

Mischief threw a rotten deal

Monty's laying low, man

He is laying low

Just let go, y'all

Just let go

 

You don't owe me anything

You don't want this sympathy (waste your breath)

Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)

Monty this seems strange to me

mxpx-andrea (my name!! :lol: )

 

"Andrea"

 

Meeting you was just so unexpected

I guess I was scared of being rejected

 

Since you were so nice

I wouldn't think twice

I'd give it all away for one more day with you

 

If ever there was a girl to be engaged to

That amazing girl would have to be you

 

Before we hung out

Don't know how I lived without

Your beautiful face - like God's amazing grace

 

Andrea, I say your name and all I can do is

Think about the way you smiled

And kinda sorta held my hand

Went out for coffee in what must have been the smallest town in Kentucky

 

Andrea, we walked together

Down the dirt road by the bridge

That we sat by each other

Talked about a few things

You looked at me I looked at you

Before you know, it's time to go!

Do You Want To

Take Me Out

 

So if you're lonely,

You know I'm here waiting for you.

I'm just a cross-hair;

I'm just a shot away from you,

And if you leave here,

You leave me broken; shattered I lie.

We’re just a cross-hair,

We're just a shot then we can die.

Aa-aa-aaaah.

I know I won’t be leaving here

With you.

 

I say, "Don't you know?"

You say, "You don't know."

I say, "Take me out."

 

I say, "You don't show.

"Don't move time is slow,"

I say, "Take me out."

 

I say, "You don't know."

You say, "You don't go."

I say, "Take me out."

 

If I move this could die,

Eyes move this could die;

I want you to take me out.

 

I know I won't be leaving here (with you).

I know I won't be leaving here.

I know I won't be leaving here (with you).

I know I won't be leaving here

With you.

 

I say, "Don't you know?"

You say, "You don't know."

I say, "Take me out."

 

If I wane this could die,

I wait this could die;

I want you to take me out.

 

If I move this could die,

Eyes move this can die;

Come on; take me out.

 

I know I won't be leaving here.(with you)

I know I won't be leaving here.(with you)

I know I won't be leaving here.(with you)

I know I won't be leaving here.(with you)

With you.

 

 

 

 

The Dark of The Matinee

 

You take your white finger

Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer

Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties

And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes, find the eyes

 

Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files

You must follow, leave this academic factory

You will find me in the matinee

The dark of the matinee

It's better in the matinee

The dark of the matinee is mine

Yes it's mine

 

Time every journey to bump into you, accidentally

i charm you and tell you of the boys I hate

All the girls I hate

All the words I hate

All the clothes I hate

How I'll never be anything I hate

You smile, mention something that you like

oh, How you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like

 

Find me and follow me through corridors refectories and files

You must follow, leave this academic factory

You will find me in the matinee

The dark of the matinee

It's better in the matinee

The dark of the matinee is mine

Yes it's mine

 

So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it and

What I made is unclear now, but his deference is and his laughter is

My words and smile are so easy now

Yes, It's easy now

Yes, It's easy now

 

Find me and follow me through corridors refectories and files

You must follow, leave this academic factory

You will find me in the matinee

The dark of the matinee

It's better in the matinee

The dark of the matinee

Find me and follow me through corridors or fectories and files

You must follow, leave this academic factory

You will find me in the matinee

The dark of the matinee

It's better in the matinee

The dark of the matinee is mine

Yes it's mine

The Beatles - She Said She Said

 

She said I know what it's like to be dead

I know what it is to be sad

And she's making me feel

Like I've never been born

 

I said who put all those things in your head?

Things that make me feel like I'm mad

And they're making me feel

Like I've never been born

 

She said you don't understand what I said

I said no, no, no you're wrong

When I was a boy

Everything was right

Everything was right

 

I said even though you know what you know

I know that I'm ready to leave

Cos you're making me feel

Like I've never been born

 

She said you don't understand what I said

I said no, no, no you're wrong

When I was a boy

Everything was right

Everything was right

 

I said even though you know what you know

I know that I'm ready to leave

Cos you're making me feel

Like I've never been born

 

She said, she said

I know what it's like to be dead

I know what it's like to be dead

I know what it is to be sad

I know what it is to be sad

Swithfoot=Stars!

 

 

Maybe I've been the problem

Maybe I'm the one to blame

But even when I turn it off and blame myself

The outcome feels the same

 

I've been thinkin' maybe I've been partly cloudy

Maybe I'm the chance of rain

And maybe I'm overcast and maybe

All my luck's washed down the drain

 

I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely

But when I look at the stars,

When I look at the stars,

When I look at the stars

I see someone else

When I look at the stars, the stars

I feel like myself

 

Stars looking at our planet,

Watching entropy and pain

And maybe startin' to wonder

How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane

 

I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance

Of a world beyond our own

And suddenly the infinite and penitent

Began to look like home

 

I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so empty

But when I look at the stars,

When I look at the stars,

When I look at the stars

I see someone else

When I look at the stars, the stars

I feel like myself

 

Everyone, everyone you feel so lonely

Everyone, ya everyone you feel so empty

When I look at the stars,

When I look at the stars,

When I look at the stars

I feel like myself

When I look at the stars, the stars

I see someone

"there but for fortune" by phil ochs

 

Show me a prison, show me a jail

Show me a pris'ner whose face has grown pale

 

And I'll show you a young man

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

 

Show me an alley, show me a train

Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain

 

And I'll show you a young man

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

 

Show me the whiskey stains on the floor

Show me a drunk as he stumbles out the door

 

And I'll show you a young man

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

 

Show me a country where the bombs had to fall

Show me the ruins of buildings so tall

 

And I'll show you a young land

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

You or I

"i don't believe you (she acts like we never have met)" by bob dylan

 

 

I can't understand,

She let go of my hand

An' left me here facing the wall.

I'd sure like t' know

Why she did go,

But I can't get close t' her at all.

Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime,

She said she would never forget.

But now mornin's clear,

It's like I ain't here,

She just acts like we never have met.

 

It's all new t' me,

Like some mystery,

It could even be like a myth.

Yet it's hard t' think on,

That she's the same one

That last night I was with.

From darkness, dreams're deserted,

Am I still dreamin' yet?

I wish she'd unlock

Her voice once an' talk,

'Stead of acting like we never have met.

 

If she ain't feelin' well,

Then why don't she tell

'Stead of turnin' her back t' my face?

Without any doubt,

She seems too far out

For me t' return t' her chase.

Though the night ran swirling an' whirling,

I remember her whispering yet.

But evidently she don't

An' evidently she won't,

She just acts like we never have met.

 

If I didn't have t' guess,

I'd gladly confess

T' anything I might've tried.

If I was with 'er too long

Or have done something wrong,

I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run an' hide.

Though her skirt it swayed as a guitar played,

Her mouth was watery and wet.

But now something has changed

For she ain't the same,

She just acts like we never have met.

 

I'm leavin' today,

I'll be on my way

Of this I can't say very much.

But if you want me to,

I can be just like you

An' pretend that we never have touched.

An' if anybody asks me, "Is it easy to forget?"

I'll say, "It's easily done,

You just pick anyone,

An' pretend that you never have met!"

"visions of johanna" by bob dylan

 

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it

And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it

Lights flicker from the opposite loft

In this room the heat pipes just cough

The country music station plays soft

But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off

Just Louise and her lover so entwined

And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind

 

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain

And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train

We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight

Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane

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

 

Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously

He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously

And when bringing her name up

He speaks of a farewell kiss to me

He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all

Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall

How can I explain?

Oh, it's so hard to get on

And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn

 

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial

Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while

But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues

You can tell by the way she smiles

See the primitive wallflower freeze

When the jelly-faced women all sneeze

Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze

I can't find my knees"

Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule

But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

 

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him

Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"

But like Louise always says

"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"

As she, herself, prepares for him

And Madonna, she still has not showed

We see this empty cage now corrode

Where her cape of the stage once had flowed

The fiddler, he now steps to the road

He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed

On the back of the fish truck that loads

While my conscience explodes

The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain

And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

 

 

 

i'm a bling whore :/

SONG 2 - Blur

 

 

 

I got my head checked

 

By a jumbo jet

 

It wasn't easy but nothing is

"'tis of thee" by ani difranco

 

they caught the last poor man on a poor man's vacation

they cuffed him and they confiscated his stuff

and they dragged his black ass down to the station

and said "ok the streets are safe now.

all your pretty white children can come out to see spot run

and they came out of their houses and they looked around

but they didn't see no one.

 

and my country tis of thee

to take swings at each other on talk show tv

why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

'cause we'll never live long enough to

undo everything they've done to you

undo everything they've done to you

 

and above 96th street,

they're handing out smallpox blankets

so people don't freeze

the old dogs they got a new trick

it's called criminalize the symptoms

while you spread the disease

i hold on hard to something

between my teeth when i'm sleeping

and i wake up and my jaw aches

and the earth is full of earthquakes

 

and my country tis of thee

to take shots at each other on prime time tv

why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

'cause we'll never live long enough to

undo everything they've done to you

undo everything they've done to you

 

they caught the last poor man

flying away in a shiny red cape

and they brought him down to the station

and they said "boy you should know better

than to try and escape"

and i ran away with the circus

'cause there's still some honest work left for bearded ladies

but it's not the same goin' town to town

since they put everyone in jail 'cept

the cleavers and the bradys

 

and my country tis of thee

to take swings at each other on talk show tv

why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

'cause we'll never live long enough to

undo everything they've done to you

undo everything they've done to you

"the day the world gets 'round" by george harrison

 

The day the world gets 'round

to understanding where it is,

Using all it's found,

to help each other, hand in hand

 

The day the world gets 'round

to understanding where it's gone

Losing so much ground

killing each other, hand in hand

Such foolishness in man

I want no part of their plan - OH NO

 

If you're the destructive kind

Now I'm working from day to day

As I don't want to be like you

I look for the pure of heart

And the ones that have made a start,

 

But Lord, there are just a few

who bow before you,

in silence they pray,

 

Oh how they pray for the day the

world gets 'round

 

Using all they've found

To help each other, hand in hand

 

The Day The World Gets 'Round

"cross-eyed mary" by jethro tull

 

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --

If he had a rich man in his hand.

And who would steal the candy

From a laughing baby’s mouth

If he could take it from the money man.

Cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again.

She signs no contract

But she always plays the game.

Dines in hampstead village

On expense accounted gruel,

And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.

Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:

Would rather make it with a letching grey.

Or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung,

Who watches through the railings as they play.

Cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along.

She’s a poor man’s rich girl

And she’ll do it for a song.

She’s a rich man stealer

But her favour’s good and strong:

She’s the robin hood of highgate --

Helps the poor man get along.

"wond-ring aloud" by jethro tull

 

Wond’ring aloud --

How we feel today.

Last night sipped the sunset --

My hands in her hair.

We are our own saviours

As we start both our hearts beating life

Into each other.

Wond’ring aloud --

Will the years treat us well.

As she floats in the kitchen,

I’m tasting the smell

Of toast as the butter runs.

Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed

And I shake my head.

And it’s only the giving

That makes you what you are.

The Verve: Bittersweet Symphony

 

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try to make ends meet

Your a slave to money then you die

But I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

 

Well I never pray

But tonight I'm on my knees yeah

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now

But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

 

No change, I can't change

I can't change, I can't change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

I can't change

I can't change

 

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try to make ends meet

Try to find some money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

You know the one that takes you to the places

where all the things meet yeah

 

You know I can't change, I can't change

I can't change, I can't change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

 

I can't change my mold

I can't change

Can't change my body,

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

Been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

That you've ever been down

That you've ever been down

"last thoughts on woody guthrie" by bob dylan

 

When yer head gets twisted and yer mind grows numb

When you think you're too old, too young, too smart or too dumb

When yer laggin' behind an' losin' yer pace

In a slow-motion crawl of life's busy race

No matter what yer doing if you start givin' up

If the wine don't come to the top of yer cup

If the wind's got you sideways with with one hand holdin' on

And the other starts slipping and the feeling is gone

And yer train engine fire needs a new spark to catch it

And the wood's easy findin' but yer lazy to fetch it

And yer sidewalk starts curlin' and the street gets too long

And you start walkin' backwards though you know its wrong

And lonesome comes up as down goes the day

And tomorrow's mornin' seems so far away

And you feel the reins from yer pony are slippin'

And yer rope is a-slidin' 'cause yer hands are a-drippin'

And yer sun-decked desert and evergreen valleys

Turn to broken down slums and trash-can alleys

And yer sky cries water and yer drain pipe's a-pourin'

And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's a-crashin'

And the windows are rattlin' and breakin' and the roof tops a-shakin'

And yer whole world's a-slammin' and bangin'

And yer minutes of sun turn to hours of storm

And to yourself you sometimes say

"I never knew it was gonna be this way

Why didn't they tell me the day I was born"

And you start gettin' chills and yer jumping from sweat

And you're lookin' for somethin' you ain't quite found yet

And yer knee-deep in the dark water with yer hands in the air

And the whole world's a-watchin' with a window peek stare

And yer good gal leaves and she's long gone a-flying

And yer heart feels sick like fish when they're fryin'

And yer jackhammer falls from yer hand to yer feet

And you need it badly but it lays on the street

And yer bell's bangin' loudly but you can't hear its beat

And you think yer ears might a been hurt

Or yer eyes've turned filthy from the sight-blindin' dirt

And you figured you failed in yesterdays rush

When you were faked out an' fooled white facing a four flush

And all the time you were holdin' three queens

And it's makin you mad, it's makin' you mean

Like in the middle of Life magazine

Bouncin' around a pinball machine

And there's something on yer mind you wanna be saying

That somebody someplace oughta be hearin'

But it's trapped on yer tongue and sealed in yer head

And it bothers you badly when your layin' in bed

And no matter how you try you just can't say it

And yer scared to yer soul you just might forget it

And yer eyes get swimmy from the tears in yer head

And yer pillows of feathers turn to blankets of lead

And the lion's mouth opens and yer staring at his teeth

And his jaws start closin with you underneath

And yer flat on your belly with yer hands tied behind

And you wish you'd never taken that last detour sign

And you say to yourself just what am I doin'

On this road I'm walkin', on this trail I'm turnin'

On this curve I'm hanging

On this pathway I'm strolling, in the space I'm taking

In this air I'm inhaling

Am I mixed up too much, am I mixed up too hard

Why am I walking, where am I running

What am I saying, what am I knowing

On this guitar I'm playing, on this banjo I'm frailin'

On this mandolin I'm strummin', in the song I'm singin'

In the tune I'm hummin', in the words I'm writin'

In the words that I'm thinkin'

In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinkin'

Who am I helping, what am I breaking

What am I giving, what am I taking

But you try with your whole soul best

Never to think these thoughts and never to let

Them kind of thoughts gain ground

Or make yer heart pound

But then again you know why they're around

Just waiting for a chance to slip and drop down

"Cause sometimes you hear'em when the night times comes creeping

And you fear that they might catch you a-sleeping

And you jump from yer bed, from yer last chapter of dreamin'

And you can't remember for the best of yer thinking

If that was you in the dream that was screaming

And you know that it's something special you're needin'

And you know that there's no drug that'll do for the healin'

And no liquor in the land to stop yer brain from bleeding

And you need something special

Yeah, you need something special all right

You need a fast flyin' train on a tornado track

To shoot you someplace and shoot you back

You need a cyclone wind on a stream engine howler

That's been banging and booming and blowing forever

That knows yer troubles a hundred times over

You need a Greyhound bus that don't bar no race

That won't laugh at yer looks

Your voice or your face

And by any number of bets in the book

Will be rollin' long after the bubblegum craze

You need something to open up a new door

To show you something you seen before

But overlooked a hundred times or more

You need something to open your eyes

You need something to make it known

That it's you and no one else that owns

That spot that yer standing, that space that you're sitting

That the world ain't got you beat

That it ain't got you licked

It can't get you crazy no matter how many

Times you might get kicked

You need something special all right

You need something special to give you hope

But hope's just a word

That maybe you said or maybe you heard

On some windy corner 'round a wide-angled curve

 

But that's what you need man, and you need it bad

And yer trouble is you know it too good

"Cause you look an' you start getting the chills

 

"Cause you can't find it on a dollar bill

And it ain't on Macy's window sill

And it ain't on no rich kid's road map

And it ain't in no fat kid's fraternity house

And it ain't made in no Hollywood wheat germ

And it ain't on that dimlit stage

With that half-wit comedian on it

Ranting and raving and taking yer money

And you thinks it's funny

No you can't find it in no night club or no yacht club

And it ain't in the seats of a supper club

And sure as hell you're bound to tell

That no matter how hard you rub

You just ain't a-gonna find it on yer ticket stub

No, and it ain't in the rumors people're tellin' you

And it ain't in the pimple-lotion people are sellin' you

And it ain't in no cardboard-box house

Or down any movie star's blouse

And you can't find it on the golf course

And Uncle Remus can't tell you and neither can Santa Claus

And it ain't in the cream puff hair-do or cotton candy clothes

And it ain't in the dime store dummies or bubblegum goons

And it ain't in the marshmallow noises of the chocolate cake voices

That come knockin' and tappin' in Christmas wrappin'

Sayin' ain't I pretty and ain't I cute and look at my skin

Look at my skin shine, look at my skin glow

Look at my skin laugh, look at my skin cry

When you can't even sense if they got any insides

These people so pretty in their ribbons and bows

No you'll not now or no other day

Find it on the doorsteps made out-a paper mache´

And inside it the people made of molasses

That every other day buy a new pair of sunglasses

And it ain't in the fifty-star generals and flipped-out phonies

Who'd turn yuh in for a tenth of a penny

Who breathe and burp and bend and crack

And before you can count from one to ten

Do it all over again but this time behind yer back

My friend

The ones that wheel and deal and whirl and twirl

And play games with each other in their sand-box world

And you can't find it either in the no-talent fools

That run around gallant

And make all rules for the ones that got talent

And it ain't in the ones that ain't got any talent but think they do

And think they're foolin' you

The ones who jump on the wagon

Just for a while 'cause they know it's in style

To get their kicks, get out of it quick

And make all kinds of money and chicks

And you yell to yourself and you throw down yer hat

Sayin', "Christ do I gotta be like that

Ain't there no one here that knows where I'm at

Ain't there no one here that knows how I feel

Good God Almighty

THAT STUFF AIN'T REAL"

 

No but that ain't yer game, it ain't even yer race

You can't hear yer name, you can't see yer face

You gotta look some other place

And where do you look for this hope that yer seekin'

Where do you look for this lamp that's a-burnin'

Where do you look for this oil well gushin'

Where do you look for this candle that's glowin'

Where do you look for this hope that you know is there

And out there somewhere

And your feet can only walk down two kinds of roads

Your eyes can only look through two kinds of windows

Your nose can only smell two kinds of hallways

You can touch and twist

And turn two kinds of doorknobs

You can either go to the church of your choice

Or you can go to Brooklyn State Hospital

You'll find God in the church of your choice

You'll find Woody Guthrie in Brooklyn State Hospital

 

And though it's only my opinion

I may be right or wrong

You'll find them both

In the Grand Canyon

At sundown

Radiohead - We Suck Young Blood

 

Are you hungry?

Are you sick?

Are you begging for a break?

 

Are you sweet?

Are you fresh?

Are you strung up by the wrists?

 

We want the young blood

 

Are you fracturing?

Are you torn at the seams?

Would you do anything?

Flea-bitten, moth-eaten?

 

We suck young blood

We suck young blood

 

Won't let the creeping ivy

Won't let the nervous bury me

Our veins are thin

Our rivers poisoned

 

We want the sweet meat

We suck young blood

Travis - WHY DOES IT ALWAYS RAIN ON ME?

 

I can't sleep tonight

everybody's saying everything is alright

still I can't close my eyes

I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights

sunny days, where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

 

(chorus)

why does it always rain on me?

is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

why does it always rain on me?

even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

 

I can't stand myself

I'm being held up by invisible men

still life on a shelf when

I've got my mind on something else

sunny days, oh where have you gone

I get the strangest feeling you belong

 

why does it always rain on me?

is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

why does it always rain on me?

even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

 

 

middle eight

oh where did the blue sky go?

oh why is it raining so?

it's so cold

 

repeat 1st verse and chorus

 

oh where did the blue sky go? oh why is it raining so?

it's so cold

 

why does it always rain on me?

is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

why does it always rain on me?

even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

why does it always rain on me?

why does it always rain on

travis - TURN

 

 

I want to see what people saw

I want to feel like I felt before

I want to see the kingdom come

I want to feel forever young

I want to sing

To sing my song

I want to live in a world where I belong

I want to live I will survive

And I believe that it won't be very long

 

If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn

Then we might learn

 

So where's the stars?

Up in the sky And what's the moon?

A big balloon?

We'll never know unless we grow

There's so much world outside the door

I want to sing

To sing my song

I want to live in a world where I'll be strong

I want to live I will survive

And I believe that it won't be very long

 

If we turn, turn, turn, turn

And if we turn, turn, turn, turn

Then we might learn

Turn, turn, turn, turn Turn, turn, turn

And if we turn, turn, turn, turn

Then we might learn

Learn to turn

travis - WRITING TO REACH YOU

 

Every day I wake up and it's Sunday

Whatever's in my eye wont go away

The radio is playing all the usual

And what's a wonderwall anyway

 

(chorus)

Because my inside is outside

My right side's on the left side

Because I'm writing to reach you now but

I might never reach you

Only want to teach you

About you

But that's not you

 

It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting

It's good to know that you are doing well

It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting

It's good to know I'm feeling not so well

 

Because my inside is outside

My right side's on the left side

Because I'm writing to reach you now but

I might never reach you

Only want to teach you about you

But that's not you

Do you know its true

But that wont do

 

Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday

And whatever's in my eye should go away

But still the radio is playing all the usual

And what's a wonderwall anyway

 

Because my inside is outside

My right side's on the left side

Cause I'm writing to reach you now but

I might never reach you

Only want to teach you

 

 

About you

But that's not you

Do you know it's true

But that wont do

And you know it's you

I'm talking to
