Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Cause you know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can
send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can
Send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can
send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

this one is doubly appropriate since i just read that the singers in this song went to high school together:

"You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come thru the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feelin' alright
Well you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But "used to be's" don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I leared how to love
And I learned how to lie
Well you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
And yYou don't bring me flowers anymore

Well you'd think I could learn
how to tell you 'goodbye'
You don't say you need me
You don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers anymore"

"At the end of the day you're another day older
that's all you can say for the life of the poor
it's a struggle it's a war
and there's nothing that anyone's giving
all the men standing about
what is it for
and you're one day nearer to dying"

"oh, i marched to the battle of new orleans
at the end of the early british war
the young land started growin
the young blood started flowin
but i ain't a-marchin anymore

but i've killed my share of injuns
in a thousand different fights
i was there at the little big horn
i saw many men lyin i saw many more dyin
but i ain't a-marchin anymore

it's always the old to lead us to the war
always the young to fall
now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
tell me, is it worth it all

for i stole california from the mexican land
fought in the bloody civil war
yes i even killed my brothers and so many others
but i ain't a-marchin' anymore

for i marched to the battles of the german trench
in a war that was bound to end all wars
oh, i must have killed a million men and now they want me back again
but i ain't a-marchin anymore

it's always the old to lead us to the war
always the young to fall
now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
tell me, is it worth it all

for i flew the final mission in the japanese sky
set off the mighty mushroom roar
shen i saw the cities burning i knew that i was learnin
that i ain't a-marchin anymore

now the labor leader's screamin when they close the missile plants
united fruit screams at the cuban shore
call it "peace" or call it "treason" call it "love" or call it "reason"
but i ain't a-marchin any more.

no, i ain't a-marchin any more"

And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma,
Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine,

to: Lynyrd Skynyrd

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama

Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer

"Keep On Rockin' In The Free World"

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world

R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A., Yeah, Yeah!
Rockin' in the U.S.A.

Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of Jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Hey!

have to round out the farm aid trio:

"on the road again
just can't wait to get on the road again
my life my love is making music with my friends
and i can't wait to get on the road again

on the road again
seein places that i've never been
seein things that i may never see again
and i can't wait to get on the road again

on the road again
like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
we're the best of friends
insisting that the world keep turning our way
and our way

on the road again
just can't wait to get on the road again
my life my love is making music with my friends
and i can't wait to get on the road again"

And hell toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, well float down in the blue

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

to:

(i cut & pasted this, cause i can't remember all the words )

"It was April the forty-first being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis my barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray and it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station, they said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it okay pal?"

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar,
a real dive
But I knew the owner, he used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck, fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar he poured me the usual
Rusty snail, hold the grunion -- shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna -- Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a . . .
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line:
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab!
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil this guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish what's your name?"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh"

"Never Alone"

You say its becasue we're boisterous
You hate us cause we got our dignity
We stand together proud and strong
This is a place where we belong
We got loyal friends we keep our heads held high,
We'll stick together you and I
Don't need no guns or drugs on our streets
just a place to go and the boots on our feet.
Never alone... The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone... This is Boston its our home.
Never alone... The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone... This is Boston its our home.

"He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him
Clenching his hands
She's just a woman
Never Again

I hear her scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, Go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up
Dead in his hands, She's just a woman
Never Again

Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again

...

Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ... would be a pleasure

He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old .., just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how ...
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger fast as she can
Never Again"

Julie was a lonely girl
She said she was born that way
She always felt that way
She left home at age sixteen
Got a job what you're supposed to do
That's what you've got to do
She fell in love and settled down
In a council place there on the edge of town

She'd feel alone in a crowded room
Cry when she heard a happy tune

It would be nice to holiday
Till they took her job away
They just took her life away
Doing nothing isn't fun
When you've nothing from wich to run
You've nowhere left to run
She'd visit the social every day
Every time be turned away
Every time be turned away

She'd feel alone in a crowded room
Cry when she heard a happy tune
Julie waits, her world is her window
And Julie hates, she hates the world below

A hundred stairs to her new room
Over glass and blackened spoons
Children grow old so soon
Past the kids who gather there
Pain masked by narcotic stares
But no one really cares
Her dreams were cut up and bled dry
A million voices in her cry

but with all of our enemies becoming our friends
why do i still feel this fear?
the government's broke foreign trade is a joke
our ethics are under attack
it's obvious the cuban backed terrorists
are the sinister force behind crack

they've had something against us from day one
when we took their casino's away
it's true they have health care that's better than ours
that's all the more reason to say
let's give em TV
name it after marti
they're our brand-new, post-cold-war, enemy of the week

there's terrorists out in the jungle
they're shooting our kids up with dope
they want to destroy our democracy
they have no respect for our vote
these mao-ist voodoo drug barons
are directed from a cuban think tank
we'll take them out and restore pluralism
a choice between the IMF and the world bank

let's give em TV then like us they'll be free
they're our brand-new, post-cold-war, recycled, 90's, all-purpose

Finished with my woman
cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think i'm insane
because i'm frowning all the time
all day long i think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy
thinking i'll lose my mind
if i dont find something to pacify
can you help me? are you for my brain?
oh yeah
i need someone to show me
the things in life that i cant find
i cant see the things that make
true happiness i must be blind
paranoid
the walls are closing in
i cant breathe cant sleep
afraid to live another day
too late to bow my head and prey
hate flowing through my veins
i cant change re-arrange
just a victim a casualty
war waged on humanity
lost my way in the darkness of the daylight
cant run cant hide
no love no fight
brought to my knees by this fate i cant avoid
scared of my own shadow its a battle living paranoid
make a joke and i will sigh
and you will laugh and i will cry
happiness i can not feel
so love to me is so unreal
and so as you hear these words
telling you now of my state
i tell you to enjoy life
i wish i could but its too late

evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction

death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds
oh lord yeah

politicians lock themselves away
they only started the whole war
why can't they go out to 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 their judgment day comes

now in fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning
no more war pigs have the power
hand of god has struck the hour
day of judgments god is calling
on their knees the war pigs crawling
begging mercy for their sins
satan laughing spreads his wings

it's All Over And I'm Standin' Pretty
in This Dust That Was A City
if I Could Find A Souvenier
just To Prove The World Was Here...
and Here Is A Red Balloon
i Think Of You And Let It Go.

"until the philosophy
which holds one race superior and another inferior
is finally and permanently
discredited and abandoned
when everywhere is war

and until there's no longer
first class and second class citizens of any nation
until the color of a man's skin
is of no more significance
than the color of the sky
me say war

and until the basic human rights
are equally guaranteed to all
without regard to race
this is war

that until that day
the dream of lasting peace
world citizenship
and the rule of international morality
will remain but a fleeting illusion
to be pursued but never attained
when everywhere is war"

Low rider, is a real goer

Hey

Low rider knows every street, yeah
Low rider, is the one to meet, yeah

Low rider don't use no gas now
The low rider don't drive too fast

Take a little trip and see

"Five State Drive" - Less Than Jake

Got on the 47.
Transfer to the 89.
Left town, east-bound pass,
saw the city size.
You know its hard,
to leave your past behind,
as I pass the crummy bars,
and beat up cars,
nothing will change your mind.
By now, think I've found
Things changed just don't look
that way to me. Or it just looks
that way to me.
By now, think I've found
Things changed just look
re-arranged to me.
Never looked that way to me.

A Half-past 7,
now I'm on the 95.
Sick of malls, and alcohol
just passed the next state line.
I know its hard,
to leave your past behind,
as I think the corner creeps,
and dirty streets
nothing will change your mind.
There's no turning back this time.

"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 my hand in your 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 these streets with these names
as i run every stop light on memory lane
i seen 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

Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder

Well if you do, then forgive me

Make the world go away

Now Im sorry if I hurt you
Let me make it up to you day by day

Ohhh Yeah

Remember we'd be up all night
Talking 'til the morning light, yeah
Like the way it used to be
Those simple days
Just you and me, mmmm

I tell ya baby I know
What's on your mind
Cuz you look like you've
Got something to say
I may not say those words anymore
But maybe it just ain't my way

You ask me do I love you but
Do you remember
Why I walked on water for you
Do you remember
My first steps on the moon
Have you ever wondered why
I gave three wishes to you
You asked the question
But the answer lies
In you, in you
The answer lies in you

Remember we used to laugh and say
No one understood our way
And there were times
When you would cry
While knocking
On my door and I was there
To shelter your pain

I feel you baby so
Get that off your mind
We can make it to
A brighter day
I may not say those words anymore
But maybe I can make it my way

ohhhhhhhh

BNL - the old apartment


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

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

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
these things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back

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

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

How is the neighbour downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I'm happy here
But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back

memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - would we? could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

to

I'll paint my mood in shades of blue
Paint my soul to be with you
I'll sketch your lips in shaded tones
Draw your mouth to my own

I'll draw your arms around my waist
Then all doubt I shall erase
I'll paint the rain that softly lands on your wind-blown hair

I'll trace a hand to wipe out your tears
A look to calm your fears
A silhouette of dark and light
While we hold each other oh so tight

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we'll never part
That's the colour of my love

I'll paint the truth
Show how I feel
Try to make you completely real
I'll use a brush so light and fine
To draw you close and make you mine

"starry starry night
portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes that know the world and can't forget
like the strangers that you've met
the ragged man in ragged clothes
a silver thorn a bloody rose
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

now i think i know
what you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free
they would not listen they're not listening still
perhaps they never will"

"sanity"

There's a watch in my pocket and its hands are broken.
The face is blank but the gears are turning.
Confusion is a fundamental state of mind.
It doesn't really matter what I'm figuring out.
I'm guaranteed to wind up in a state of doubt
And sanity is a full-time job
In a world that is always changing,
And sanity is a state of mind
That you believe in, sanity.
There's a shadow on the wall where the paint is peeling.
My body's moving forward but my mind is reeling.
Depression is a fundamental state of mind.
It doesn't really matter how my day has turned out.
I always end up living in this world of doubt
And sanity is a full-time job
In a world that is always changing,
And sanity will make you strong
If you believe in sanity.
And sanity is a full-time job
In a world that is always changing,
And sanity is a state of mind
That you believe in, sanity.

This song is cool

Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
Then baby I'm moving way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
I keep getting chills
When I think your love is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say--bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

Chorus cont.

where angels fear to tread

my heart above my head

if theres a chance for me

but wise men never fall in love
so how are they to know

when we met
i felt my life begin
so open up your heart and let
this fool rush in"

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

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

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

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

"bent double like old beggars in sacks
knockkneed and cursing or coughing like hags
men marched on sleeping some without boots
fatigue drunken deaf still to the hoots
of breaking gas shells
dropping softly behind
but limped on bloodshod
all went lame all went blind

gas gas quick boys fumbling helmets in time
someone still screaming a man in fire or lime
under a grey cloud dim dark through green light
in all my dreaming before my helpless sight
he plunges at me
choking guttering drowning
put in a wagon he had to keep pace
as his eyes melt to his face

if you could hear blood
gurgling from ruptured lungs
if you could witness
vile sores on innocent tongues
you would not tell me
not with such pride and such zest
the lies of history
dulce et decorum est
pro patria mori
some desperate glory
pro patria mori
as witness disturbs the story
pro patria mori
stand firm boys breathe the glory"

Moondog - you'll recognize this one....

There was a time
when lonely men would wander
thru this land
rolling aimlessly along
so many times
I've heard of their sad story
written in the words
of dead men's songs.

Down through the years
many men have yearned
for freedom
some found it
only on the open road
so many tears of blood
have fell around us
'cause you can't always do what you are told.

Please tell me where
have all the hobos gone to
I see no fire burning down
by the rusty railroad track
could it be that time
has gone and left them
tied up in life's eternal traveling sack.

Last Sunday night
I wrote a letter
to my loved one
I signed my name
and knew I'd stayed away
too long
there was a time
when my heart was free to wander
and I remember as I sing
this hobo song.

actually no, but that's what google is for i only have the missing years and what i've heard from 2 shows can't say i remember hearing that one, but just another song to hunt down now

to:

"on the highway 30 people lost their lives
on the highway 30 people lost their lives
well i had some words to holler
and my rosie took a ride

in the moonlight see the greyhound rollin on
in the moonlight see the greyhound rollin on
flyin through the crossroads
rosie ran into the hound

for the graveyard 30 boxes made of bone
for the graveyard 30 boxes made of bone
oh mister undertaker
take this coffin from my home

in the midnight hear me cryin out her name
in the midnight hear me cryin out her name
i'm standing on the railroad
waiting for the graveyard train

on the highway 30 people turned to stone
on the highway 30 people turned to stone
take me to the station
cause i'm number 31"

"86"

What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep with your identity

So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the butt

There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try...

Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket
And quickly take the last train out of town

So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't ket the door kick you in the butt

There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try...

There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try...

The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped our clutch when the light turned green
You should have heard the wine from my screamin' machine
I flew past La Brea, down to Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights
He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve
Deadman's Curve is no place to play
Deadman's Curve
Well, the last thing I remember Doc.
I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the curb
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
I found out for myself, that everyone was right
Won't come back from Deadman's Curve
Deadman's Curve is no place to play
Deadman's Curve you best keep away
Deadman's Curve I can hear them say
Won't come back from Deadman's Curve

i did this one already, but today is the anniversary of this event:

"tin soldiers and nixon's coming
we're finally on our own

i left alone, my mind was blank
i needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
what did i see? can i believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?

just what i saw in my own dreams
were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
cause in my dreams it's always there
the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

the night was black was no use holding back
cause i just had to see was someone watching me
in the mist dark figures move and twist
was all this for real or just some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
hell and fire was born to be released

torches blazed and sacred chants were raised
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
in the night the fires are burning bright
the ritual has begun satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
sacrifice is going on tonight

this can't go on i must inform the law
can this still be real or some crazy dream
but i feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerise me ...can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast

cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little to far
Youre telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You cant catch me cause the rabbit gone died
Yes it is

You stand in the front just a shakin your
Ill take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about somehting you can sure understand
cause a month on the road an Ill be eating from your hand

Another Aerosmith song....

Sweet Emotion to :

A baby's born in the middle of the night
In the local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack him till he cries

He goes home the next afternoon
Before you know it, he's off to school
And then he graduates in May
Goes out and gets a Ph.D.
And then cures all sorts of things
Wins the Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives

The world's a better place for all he's done
It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive
Is all because two people fell in (love*)

to:

"my child arrived just the other day
came to the world in the usual way
but there were planes to catch and bills to pay
he learned to walk while there was a way
and he was talking before i knew it
and as he grew he said
"i'm gonna be like you dad. you know i'm gonna be like you"

and the cat's in the cradle
and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man on the moon
when you comin home dad
i don't know when
but we'll get together then yeah
you know we'll have a good time then"

"that's right it starts with an earthquake
birds and snakes and airplanes
lenny bruce is not afraid
eye of a hurricane listen to yourself churn
world serves its own needs
don't misserve your own needs

ladder structure clatter with fear of height down height
wire in a fire, represent the seven games
in a government for hire and a combat site
left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck
team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop
look at that low plane, fine then
uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do
save yourself, serve yourself
world serves its own needs
listen to your heart bleed
tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right
right.
you vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

hmmm, since it's been almost 36 hours, i guess i'll give the next one. connection is "rock n roll":

"janie said when she was just five years old
there was nothing happening at all
every time she turned on the radio there was nothing going down at all
not at all

then one fine morning she turns on a new york station
she couldn't believe what she heard at all
she started jamming to that fine fine music
you know her life was saved by rock and roll
despite all the amputations
you know you could just go out and dance to that rock and roll station
and it was alright

janie said when she was just five years old
you know my parents are gonna be the death of us all
two tv sets and two cadillac cars
you know that ain't gonna help me at all
not at all

then one fine morning she turns on a new york station
she can't believe what she hears at all
she started shaking to that fine fine music
you know her life was saved by rock and roll
despite all the computations
you know you could just dance to that rock and roll station
and it was alright"

Allllright, Matt is back into the lyrical action...check me out(somebody had to help out moondog).

"I'll Never Be"

everybody's lookin' at me
thought i saw my face on mtv
or a magazine that she won't read,
stole her heart, but it's not my
fault, lookin' at
my picture she forgot about her
boyfriend, yea.

i'll never be...a rock and roll star
i'll never be...anything, anything at all,
drives me crazy, can't get away,
somebody tell me...when do we get paid?

everybody's lookin' at me
thought by now i'd be on mtv
or a magazine like seventeen or rolling stone,
and i won't be alone with your
money in my pocket and face on your t-shirt yea.

i'll never be...a rock and roll star
i'll never be...anything, anything at all,
drives me crazy, can't get away,
but i try and i try and i try and i try
every day
every day
said i'll never be,
a rock and roll star
i'll never be...
anything, anything at all.

If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band.
Jimmy gave us rainbows,
And Janis took a piece of our hearts,
And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay.
Sing a song to light my fire,
Remember Jim that way,
They've all found another place, another place to play.

to:

We can turn it around
We can do it again
We can go back in time
Through the canyons of your mind
On the eve of destruction
We can act like we are
Something really special
You just jump in the bath-tub
With that other guy jim
And make him be more careful
We can visit big mama
And wrap her on the back
When she eats her sandwich
(la la la la)
We can take care of janis
When she gets so depressed
She cant take it no more
We can laugh at keith moons jokes
(ha ha ha ha ha)
And the colour tv
(ha ha)
He threw out the windum
From the second floor
Everybody come back
No one can do it like you used to
If you listen to the radio
And what they play today
You can tell right away:
All those ***holes really need you!

to:

"now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
you play the guitar on the mtv
that ain't workin that's the way you do it
get your money for nothing and your chicks for free

now that ain't workin that's the way you do it
lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
you maybe get a blister on your little finger
maybe get a blister on your thumb

we got to install microwave ovens
custom kitchen deliveries
we got to move these refridgerators
we got to move these color tv's

i should have learned to play the guitar
i shoulda learned to play them drums
oh look at that momma stickin it in the camera man
and we could have some fun

and who's up there? what's that? hawaiian noises?
you're banging on them bongos like a chimpanzee
oh that ain't workin that's the way you do it
money for nothing and your chicks for free

we got to install microwave ovens
custom kitchen deliveries
we got to move these refridgerators
we got to move these color tv's"

TV to TV


Checked the clock when I got home and realized I was alone Sat for hours by
The window wonderin' where did ya go? Couldn't eat or sleep at all took the
Pictures off the wall Paced the place as time moves slow and I'm wondering
Where did ya go?
Where'd ya go?
Where'd ya go?
I wanna know!
Lit a cigarette I couldn't smoke wind the clock until it broke Went to bed
Then took a shower stared at TV for an hour Did the dishes made the bed Read
A book I never read Any minute you will show and I'm wondering where did ya go?
Where'd ya go?
Where'd ya go?
I wanna know!
I opened the fridge I opened a beer Played a tape I couldn't hear Emptiness
Began to grow and I'm wondering where did ya go? Watched the sun come up from
The back stairs Though about the last few years
I lost control
I screamed, I cried
I punched a hole and went inside Packed my things called a friend Wished this
Emptiness would end Wrote a note then tore it up poured the beer into a cup
Sat on the couch drank it slow wondering where did ya go Realized I couldn't
Stay I grabbed my things and I went away
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
I wanna know!

*Wonders about all the walls with holes punched in them*

~To

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

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

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dish rack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want em back

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

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

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

I know we dont live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I am happy here
This is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back
I want them back
But this is where we used to live
I want them back
This is where we used to live
I want them back
But this is where we used to live
I want them back "

even when the condition is critical
when the livin is miserable
your position is pivotal
i ain't bulls@#!%in you now
why would i lie just to get by
just to get by we get fly
the tv got us reaching for stars
not the ones between venus and mars
but the ones who be readin for parts
some people get breast enhancements and penis enlarger
saturday sinners sunday morning at the feet of the father
we need someone to relie on
we get high on all types of drugs
when all you really need is love

just to get by

our parents sing like john lennon "imagine all the people watch"
we rock like paul mccartney from now until the last beatle drop"

OOHHH Beautiful song Babel...

to:

I walked in the city at midday
It was empty and bare
I looked in the mirror at midnight
There was nobody there
You had become the very breath that I breathed
You were all I desired, my will to succeed
But now I know how it feels to be old
Out in the cold.

Cold to Hot(fire) - a bit of a stretch I know.


This house is full of ears but I can't talk to anyone
They've heard this one a thousand times
Most exciting thing I do
Hang half way out a third floor window,
Maybe throw lit cigarettes down
And maybe I'll catch fire,
Something warm to hold me,
Something pure to burn away the darkness
That hides inside my mind
All that evil stuff's not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice

This house is full of eyes but I can't look at anyone
They've seen this face a thousand times
Most relaxing thing I do
Hang half way out a third floor window,
And look at rocks if I fall out,
And maybe I'll fall hard,
Something tough to break me,
Something sharp to rip into my insides
And bleed out all that pain
Sorry I don't even know your name
I guess for me it's easy this way

Maybe I'll catch fire,
Something warm to hold me,
Something pure to burn away the darkness
That hides inside my mind
All that evil stuff's not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice

"my mental stability reaches its bitter end
and all my senses are coming unglued
is there any cure for this disease someone called love
not as long as there are girls like you

everything she does questions my mental health
it makes me lose control i just cant trust myself
if anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
(but you turn your head)
and I end up talking to myself
anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
(so i lose my head)
or i bang it up against the wall

sometimes i wonder if i should be left alone
and lock myself up in a padded room
i sit and spew my guts out to the open air
but no one wants to hear a drunken fool

it makes me lose control i want to hurt myself

Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh but then again it seems
Much more than that but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking

Well,I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of effection
But to find that it's not different at all
I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say...
What the hey!

Would I last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away (far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can
give that comes my way (far away)

free to freedom

A christian an anarchist slash prostitute figures out the true meaning of freedom
Not freedom like america freedom like a shopping cart
Kick back no tense you got a bag of grub cost you about 50 cents
No fear no freakin feat malt liquor tastes much better on the street
Crustin, a way of life for heroines and heroes had hitchike the rorad to eden
Not eden like the garden state eden like the state of mind
Kick back cheap thrills youll do anything for a laugh even if it kills you
The bridge you took it out the ticket takers suddenly lost count
Sleeping under rays your teeth crumbling away say goodbye
To all responsibility you never wanted it man
Wasting time whenever you get the chance
Which happens to be all the time
Kick back free meals
A couple of times a day you make a coupe if shady deals
No work no freakin pay
Cardboard condiminium by the bay
Youre between the red and black and youre never goin back
To all responsibilty cause
You never wanted it man

How did you get your noose so tight?

Gonna be dead before your gone

And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing

How many feelings can you steal?
Gotta be part of your appeal
I can see through you cause you're wearing thin
Like chewing on tinfoil once again

Ha Ha you're dead
And I'm so happy
In loving memory
Of your demise

When your ship is going down
I'll go out and paint the town
Ha Ha you're dead
