i can't believe the news today
but i can't close my eyes and make it go away
how long? how long must we sing this song?
how long? how long?

broken bottles under children's feet
bodies strewn across the dead end street
but i won't heed the battle call
it puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

sunday bloody sunday
sunday bloody sunday

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

They say mother earth is breathing
With each wave that finds the shore
Her soul rises in the evening
For to open twilights door
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
Watching o'er us all the while
And her heart it is in Ireland
Deep within the Emerald Isle

We are forty against hundreds
In someone elses bloody war
We know not why were fighting
Or what we're dying for
They will storm us in the morning
When the sunlight turns to sky
Death is waiting for its dance now
Fate has sentenced us to die

Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland

Oh the captian he lay bleeding
I can hear him calling me
These men are yours now for the leading
Show them to their destiny
And as I look up all around me
I see the ragged tired and torn
I tell them to make ready
'Cause we're not waiting for the morn

Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland

Now the fog is deep and heavy
As we forge the dark and fear
We can hear their horses breathing
As in silence we draw near
There are no words to be spoken
Just a look to say good-bye
I draw a breath and night is broken
AsI scream our battle cry

Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland

I am home Ireland


"I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle

In its place grew
an angry festered wound
full of hatered and remourse
where I pick and scratch
till the blood it matched
silent rage that now fills my lungs
for there are many ways
to kill a man they say
with bayonet, axe or sword
but son a bullet fired
from a shapeless guise
just put the shell of a Thompson gun

walk away me boy
walk away me boys
and by morning we'll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what's left
of the flag for me

from the east out to the western shore
where many men and many more will fall
but no angel flys with me tonight
though freedom reigns on all
and curse the name for which
we slaved our days
so every men chose Kingdom Come
But sure as night turns day
it's the passion play
oh my god
what have they done
with madmen rage
well the dogged craze
but the dead rise again you fools

and I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich whille it buries the poor
the power hungry selling soldiers in a human grocery store
ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

"Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I've tried to swim against
Put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I'm beging please, singing

Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a, trouble that can't be named
a tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

Confusion that never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know, singing"

i do believe it's part THREE now babel

generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerors of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred for mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds
oh lord yeah!

politicians lock themselves away
they only started the whole war
why don't they go out into the fight?
they leave that role to the poor

time will tell on their power minds
making war just for fun
treating people just like pawns in chess
wait till judgement day comes

now in darkness world stops turning
ashes where the bodies burning
no more war pigs have the power
hand of god has struck the hour
day of judgements god is calling
on their knees the war pigs crawling
begging mercy for their sins
satan laughing spreads his wings

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

Crazy,but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules

One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

That the grass is always greener on the other side

Yay babel!

My fav 'tones song

Queensbury Number Eight.
Hell Hotel punk rock estate.
Way way back in the day.
One hundred years it seems that way.
Just across from Wayne's Junk Store.
Three floors up then straight ahead.
If someone thought to lock the door,
Use the fire escape instead.
Someone's always up to something, one thing's always understood.
If nothing happened in a minute, wait another, something would.
Avoid the landlord, spend the rent, raising hell with reckless style.
And sure our time was poorly spent, but toxic toast still makes me smile.
Looking back now, not sure how
We made it through, not all of us but most.
Still haunts me, like it wants me.
I remember, I remember, I remember toxic toast.
This stuff's one hundred-thirty proof.
Glue threw the TV off the roof.
The whole damn place just wasn't stable.
Andrew trashed the coffee table.
Rico's here, the party's reeling.
Colam's been spray-painting the ceiling.
Can't make a call and man it's gold,
Alcohol and stranglehold.
Toxic toast, Jake coined the phrase.
Haven't thought about it for a while.
Mindless endless nights and days,
But toxic toast still makes me smile.
Looking back,not sure how
We made it through, not all of us but most.
Still haunts me,like it wants me.
I remember, I remember, I remember toxic toast.

"Someone will fix my broken bones
And I'll feel better in the morning
The pain will fade as time goes by
What was taken,
I won't miss, or I'll replace
Nevermind me, well I'm all right
He seemed to hate what he was doing
He sure knew how to get it done
Possessed by an addiction
I don't have to comprehend
What about me?"

i can't stand here listening to you and your racist friend

it was the lovliest party that i've ever attended
if anything was broken i'm sure it could be mended
my head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
listening to some bullethead and the madness that he's saying

I saw my friend the other day and I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't that long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and
I wanna go home

How have I been, how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong

I knew you back when
And you ... you knew me
And now I think you're sick
I wanna go home

Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren't right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it's true

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

My friend drove off the other day,
And now he's gone and all they say,
Is you gotta live cause life goes on
But now I see i'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on

And I think it's alright
That I do what I like cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And i'm still giving


And now I wonder about my friend
If he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart


And I think it's alright
That I do what I like cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And i'm still giving

do you have the time to listen to me whine
about nothing and everything all at once
i am one of those melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bones no doubt about it

sometimes i give myself the creeps
sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
it all keeps adding up
i think i'm cracking up
am i just paranoid
am i just stoned?

To put up with the output
I don't think about it,
Hold on and hold out
Or I'd be left out without it
Things better get better
I gotta get
Thing's should get good
But they haven't yet
While these things keep bringing
And bringing me grief
I've got that one something
That still brings relief

Cowboy coffee and chemical cream
Ride, ride, ride on my stallion of green
Midnight shower, sleep in the flowers
And dream, hurricane, breakneck speed, rapid fire, dreams

It's not that it's boggin' or cloggin' my head
It's not that I'm swamped
Buried under near dead
It's just the daily grind
To bring the daily bread
I wasn't born rich
I'm good looking instead
While these dailys "dille-dallie"
And I'm daily employed
I've got that daily something
That's daily enjoyed

Cowboy coffee and chemical cream
Ride, ride, ride on my stallion of green
Midnight shower, sleep in the flowers
And dream, hurricane, breakneck speed, rapid fire, dreams

hot coffee on the dashboard a cold front on the way
last night i was in oregon tomorrow santa fe
up for two days running i'm feelin tired inside
down to my last dollar but tonight i'm gonna ride

silver spurs and gold tequila
you know they keep me hanging on
pretty girls in old cantinas
give me shelter from the storm
the miles that i have traveled
the places i have seen
just won't let me put a saddle on this crazy cowboy dream

a gold watch in my pocket my daddy gave to me
spent his lifetime working for a home and family
i call him on the phone sometimes i see him when i can
just long enough to check the binds and jump the fence again

silver spurs and gold tequila
you know they keep me hanging on
pretty girls in old cantinas
give me shelter from the storm
the miles that i have traveled
the places i have seen
just won't let me put a saddle on this crazy cowboy dream
and i'll never put a saddle on this crazy cowboy dream

silver spurs and gold tequila
you know they keep me hanging on

Circumnavigate these lands.

"The rain is falling down like silence in a shroud"[/font]

i'd sooner forget but i remember those nights
when life was just a bet on the race between the lights
you had your head on my shoulder had your hand in my hair
now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
well just stay with me baby and i'll take you away
from out of this darkness and into the day
from these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
from the anger that lives on the streets with these names
as i run every red light on memory lane
i seek desperation explode into flames
and i don't wanna see it again
from all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
all the way down the telegraph road

These days go by like trucks and trains
Some hit so hard you barely feel a thing
Lights out right now back then and forevermore
Lights out left now these robots marching
To the nearest liquor store
There's something green that's leaving town
Always thought it was blue
Always knew I was wrong
Where it goes who knows
maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other sides true
Too much time looking up is turning everything blue
Including me - including you
Including you

These times count down like boats and planes
Some wash away in undertow
Some plummet down in flames
Lights out right now back then and forevermore
With sirens on this ambulance is racing
to the west coast shore
There's something blue that's leaving town
We always talked about black we're considering brown
Where it goes who knows
Maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other sides true
Too much time looking up's turning everything blue
Including me, including the ocean, including you

"And I said What about Breakfast at Tiffany's"

continuing the "line" theme:

sweet surrender on the quayside
you remember we used to run and hide
in the shadows of the cargos i take you one time
and we're countin all the numbers down to the waterline

near misses on the dog leap stairways
french kisses in the darkened doorways
foghorn blowing out wild and cold
policeman he shines a light on my shoulder

up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night
over my shoulder all you can see are pilot lights
no money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
your hands are cold but your lips are warm

she can see him on the jetty where they used to go
she can feel him in the places where they used to know
when she's walking by the river or the railway line
she can still hear him whisper
let's go down to the waterline

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

"My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Im walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line, not the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines what’s *** up and everything’s alright
Check my vital signs and know im still alive and I walk alone"



^_^

"And I said What about Breakfast at Tiffany's"

i keep a close watch on this heart of mine
i keep my eyes wide open all the time
i keep the ends out for the tie that binds
because you're mine, i walk the line

i find it very very easy to be true
i find myself alone when each day's through
yes i'll admit that i'm a fool for you
because you're mine, i walk the line

as sure as night is dark and day is light
i keep you on my mind both day and night
and happiness i've known proves that it's right
because you're mine, i walk the line

Walk away if you want to
It's ok, if you need to
You can run, but you can never hide
See my shadow come creeping up beside you
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all

Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.

Take the time
and think about it
Walk the line, you just can't fight it
Look around and see what you can find
Like a fire that's burning up inside me,
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all

Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.

There's a magic running through your soul
but you can't have it all, no,

Whatever you do

to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.

Just turn around, I'll be two steps behind
I'll be two steps behind you
and I'll be there to remind you

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace
must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all

Kiss me
Pplease kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me"
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying
"maybe, you didn't know him at all"

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that "it's over, it's over"


Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

-- Gomer

i remember the thirty five sweet goodbyes
when you put me on the wolverine up to annandale
it was still september
when your daddy was quite surprised
to find you with the working girls in the county jail
i was smoking with the boys upstairs
when i heard about the whole affair
i said oh no
william and mary won’t do

well i did not think the girl could be so cruel
and i’m never going back to my old school

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

Dust falls on the empty halls of my old school
Where the memories fade like the casualty, a forgotten fool
Now wide-eyed has become the blind of spoken rule
As equal only deep is now the word
The lesson's not the answer you once heard

"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"
She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground
Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you
And the darkness that you left is overstepped aside
Will disappear in clouds, the sun arrives
Within a mile of home, within a mile of home"

Oh worry, oh my worry has it been that long?
The whistle keeps on blowing but the chills all gone
His empty frame cannot explain, there's nothing left inside
So sing to me a song from yesterday
When laughter filled the tears that we now make

"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"
She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground
Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you
If only you had seen what I now see
And turned the corner where you would of been
Within a mile of home, within a mile of home"

So sing to me, sing me a song, a song from yesterday
And when the laughter turned these tears before the promises, then they'll slip away
Don't turn your back on me, dont't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down
We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of home
We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of home

inviting and inciting me to rise

a million bright ambassadors of morning

and no one makes me close my eyes
so i throw the windows wide
and call to you across the skies

Outside the sun rose you stayed inside
You kept your eyes closed
And pulled down the shades
On your windows
You decided to hideout from the sunlight
It's too bright and it just doesn't sit right

You're cloudy and gray
Hey! You're chasing the sun away
Hey! You're chasing the sun
