New York Fairy Tale by The Pogues

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me,
Won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars
Big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead
On a drip in that bed

You scumbag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams
From me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas day

Merry Christmas

Leif Erikson by Interpol

She says It helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night.
She swears I'm a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care?

The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight.
So that you two can take some time, teach each other to reciprocate.

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I'm just prey to the female,
Well then hook me up and throw me, baby cakes, cuz I like to get hooked.

The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight.
All the people that you've loved they're all bound to leave some keepsakes.
I've been swinging all the time, think it's time to learn your way.
I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok.

I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing you don't sleep tonight

It's like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
You come here to me.
We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down
You come here to me...

She says brief things, her love's a pony
My love's subliminal

JUST FOR MATEO... THE LYRICS IN SPANISH... AND I KNOW YOURE NOT FROM MEXICO... YOU ARE FROM HONDURAS... AND YES THERE IS HONOR IN WORK...

Light from Next to Normal

Natalie:
We need some light.
First of all, we need some light.
You can't sit here in the dark.
And all alone, it's a sorry sight.
It's just you and me.
We'll live, you'll see.

Dan:
Night after night,
We'd sit and wait for the morning light.
But we've waited far too long,
For all that's wrong to be made right.

Diana:
Day after day,
Wishing all our cares away.
Trying to fight the things we feel,
But some hurts never heal.
Some ghost are never gone,
But we go on,
We still go on.

And you find some way to survive
And you find out you don't have to be happy at all,
To be happy you're alive.

Natalie:
Day after day,
Give me clouds, and rain and gray.
Give me pain, if that's what's real.

Henry and Natalie:
It's the price we pay to feel.

Dan and Diana:
The price of love is loss,

Dan:
But still we pay.

Dan and Henry:
We love anyway.

Gabe:
And when the night has finally gone.
And when we see the new day dawn.
We'll wonder how we wandered for so long, so blind.
The wasted world we thought we knew,
The light will make it look brand new.
So

All:
Let it
Let it
Let it
Let it
Let it
Shine, shine, shine.

Day after day (day after day),
We'll find the will to find our way.
Knowing that the darkest skies will someday see the sun.

Dan:
When our long night is done,

Dan and Natalie:
There will be light.

Diana:
(There will be light.
There will be light.)

All:
There will be light.
When we open up our light.
Sons and daughters, husbands, wives.
Can fight that fight.
There will be light.
There will be light.
There will be light.
There will be light.

FOR MY FRIEND THE GREAT MS. LAKE...

A Girl Like You by The Smithereens

I used to travel in the shadows
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you
But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste
There's too much to lose
Girl, you say anything at all, and you know that you can call
And I'll be right there for you
First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake
What else can you do

I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you
A girl like you

People talk and people stare
Tell them I don't really care
This is the place I should be
And if they think it's really strange
For a girl like you to be in love with someone like me
I wanna tell them all to go to hell
That we're doing very well without them you see
That's just the way it is and they will see
I am yours and you are mine the way it should be

I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you

A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you

Now if I seem a little wild
There's no holding back
I'm trying to get a message to you
I won't take anything from anyone
I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you
London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run
Together we'll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won't let him take you from me

I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you

A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you

I'll say anything
I'll take anything
I'll say anything
Almost anything except goodbye

I'll say anything
I'll take anything
I'll say anything
Almost anything except goodbye

WELL, APPARENTLY OUR GENERATION WILL HAVE NO ROCKERS THAT WILL LIVE ON IN SELF MUMMIFIED FORM LIKE KEITH RICHARDS... RIP PAT... GO BLOW HEAVEN TO... WELL SMITHEREENS...

It Ain't Necessarily So by Bill Murray

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.

Now david was small but oh my
Little david was small but oh my
He fought big goliath
Who lay down and dieth
David was small but oh my.

To get into heaven, don't snap for a second
Live clean forget your faults
I take the gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt

Oh jonah he lived in a whale
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
He made his home in
That fishes abdomen
Oh jonah he lived in a whale

To get into heaven, don't snap for a seven
Live clean forget your faults
I take gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt

Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 900 years
Who calls that livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man what's 900 years

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.

Ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily so

WELL... I THINK ROY MOORE WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU BILL... AND HE WOULD DO IT WHILE MESSIN WITH A 14 YEAR OLD...

On Tuesday by Men Without Hats

On tuesday, you came in from the storm.
On tuesday, you came and made me warm,
On tuesday.

On tuesday, you made me fly, much higher than before
On tuesday, you made me cry, and made me smile for more
Cause, love is something I adore
On tuesday.

On tuesday, you saved my life, I was nothing but a wall
On tuesday you made me high, I was flying on the floor
Cause, love is something I adore
On tuesday.

It was only make believe, then along came tuesday
Changed everything, on tuesday

On tuesday, you wave goodby, you step into the storm
On tuesday, you save my life, a smile will keep me warm
On tuesday, you made me cry, like a child being born
On tuesday, you made me high, I'll be flying ever more
Cause, love is something I adore
on tuesday

It was only make believe.
Then along came tuesday
Changed everything

On Tuesday.....

HERE IS A SONG TO CELEBRATE THIS MONUMENTAL DAY OF THE WEEK

Time to Pretend by MGMT

I'm feeling rough I'm feeling raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars

This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend, to pretend
We were fated to pretend, to pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend, to pretend
We were fated to pretend, to pretend

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

YOU CAN'T REALLY DUST FOR VOMIT.

Uma Therman by Fallout Boy

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath
"May nothing but death do us part..."

She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me 'til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head

The stench, the stench of summer sex
And CK eternity, oh, hell, yes
Divide me down to the smallest I can be
Put your, put your v-v-venom in me

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath
"May nothing but death do us part..."

She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me 'til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head

The blood, the blood, the blood of the lamb
Is worth two lions, but here I am
And I slept in last night’s clothes and tomorrow’s dreams
But they’re not quite what they seem

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath
"May nothing but death do us part..."

You’ll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turned the tide
You’ll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turned the tide

She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me 'til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath
"May nothing but death do us part..."

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
I'll keep you like an oath
"May nothing but death do us part..."

THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIND A GIRL WHO LOOKED LIKE UMA... SAD... THEY DIDNT EVEN TRY.

Night Song by The Lemon Twigs

I think I went a little nuts
At the grocery store
I walked through every aisle
And threw things on the floor
Floor

Well I see that she is trying to get to me
Well I found that she's a liar, liar
God help me turn the light off
It's in my eyes
And turn on the song that's for the nighttime baby

Put on the night song baby
Put it on
Nothing lasts
Forever
Put on the night song baby
Turn it on
Nothing lasts
Forever

I took my short legged woman
To the dance last night
We watched the highway patrol
Well I see that she is trying to get to me
Well I found that she's a liar, liar
God help me turn the light off
It burns my hands
And put on the soul that's for the nighttime baby

Turn on the night song baby
Turn it on
Now, nothing lasts
Forever
Turn on the night song baby
Turn it on (Woah-oh-oh)
Nothing lasts
Forever

Put on the night, on the night song

We are the party police
Put your hands up
Put on the night song
Do the robot, do the other dances
And put on the night song
Cause we're the party police
Freeze!

UM... WTF? OKAY... UH.... WTF?

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life by Monty Python

Some things in life are bad,

They can really make you mad.

Other things just make you swear and curse,

When you're chewing on life's gristle,

Don't grumble, give a whistle,

And this'll help things turn out for the best, hey,

Always look on the bright side of life,

Always look on the light side of life,

If life seems jolly rotten,

There's something you've forgotten,

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

When you're feeling in the dumps,

Don't be silly chumps,

Just purse you're lips and whistle,

That's the thing.

And, always look on the bright side of life,

Always look on the right side of life,

For life is quite absurd,

An. death's the final word,

You must always face the curtain with a bow,

Forget about your sin,

give the audience a grin,

Enjoy it, it's you last chance of the hour.

So, always look on the bright side of death,

Just before you draw your terminal breath,

Life's a piece o' sh*t,

When you look at it,

Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true,

You'll see it's all a show,

Keep 'em laughing as you go,

Remember that the last laugh is on you.

And, always look on the bright side of life,

Always look on the right side of life,

Come on, Brian cheer up,

Always look on the bright side of life,

Always look on the right side of life,

Worse things happen at sea, you know,

Always look on the bright side of life,

I mean, what do you have to lose?

You come from nothing,

You go back to nothing.

What have you lost? Nothing!

Always look on the bright side of life.

WOW... I BET THE CATHOLICS HAD A KANIPTION ABOUT THIS ONE... I MEAN THEY LOST THEIR SHIT OVER 'LAST TEMPTATION' AND THAT WAS AT LEAST A RESPECTFUL PORTRAYAL... AT ANY RATE THIS ONE IS DEDICATED TO DAN

That Old Feeling by Chet Baker

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

MAYBE YOU ARE MISTAKING CONSTIPATION AS THAT OLD FEELING

Deadly Valentine by Charlotte Gainsbourg

With this ring I thee wed with all my body, could tie the end down
To love and to cherish, according to God's holy ordinance

With this ring I thee wed with all my body, could tie the end down
To love and to cherish, according to God's holy ordinance
You have to play organs or play the harp, fill you both with blessings
(From this day forward until death do us part)
From this day forward, for better, for worse, until death do us part
(From this day forward until death do us part)

You have declared your consent, may the Lord fill you both with blessings
From this day forward, for better, for worse, until death do us part

With this ring I thee wed with all my body, could tie the end down
To love and to cherish, according to God's holy ordinance
You have declared your consent, may the Lord fill you both with blessings
(From this day forward until death do us part)
From this day forward, for better, for worse, until death do us part
(From this day forward until death do us part)

To love and to cherish, according to God's holy ordinance

With this ring I thee wed with all my body, could tie the end down
To love and to cherish, according to God's holy ordinance
You have declared your consent, may the Lord fill you both with blessings
(From this day forward until death do us part)
From this day forward, for better, for worse, until death do us part
(From this day forward until death do us part)

Damn
Can't even remember my name
You are my kingdom and my own shadow
You are my fuel and hurricane
Pictures that have gently left me holy
Somewhere a face that I can't find
You are my deadly valentine

With this ring I thee wed with all my body, could tie the end down
To love and to cherish, according to God's holy ordinance
You have declared your consent, may the Lord fill you both with blessings
From this day forward, for better, for worse, until death do us part

EVERONE SHOULD RUN AROUND.... RUN AROUND GODDAMNIT!!! RUN AROUND....

You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC

She was a fast machine she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it
And you shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long

I'm working double time on the seduction line
She's one of a kind she's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause it's just another course
Made a meal outta me
And come back for more
Had to cool me down to take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
Cause the walls were shaking the earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it

And you shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long
Knocked me out I said you
Shook me all night long
You had me shaking and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
When you took me

You really took me and you
Shook me all night long
You shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you shook me all night long
You really got me and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
Yeah you shook me
All night long

I ONCE DANCED TO THIS SONG WITH A BUTT UGLY GIRL... RIP MALCOM...

Dream Baby by Roy Orbison

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream?

Dream baby got me dreaming sweet dreams, the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreaming sweet dreams, the night-time too
I love you and I'm dreaming of you, that won't do
Dream baby, make me stop my dreaming, you can make my dreams come true

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream?

Dream baby got me dreaming sweet dreams, the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreaming sweet dreams, the night-time too
I love you and I'm dreaming of you, that won't do
Dream baby, make me stop my dreaming, you can make my dreams come true

Oh sweet dream baby
Yeah sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream?

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby

MABYE YOU HAVE NARCALEPSY... YOU SHOULD GET THAT LOOKED AT...

The Sound of Failure by The Flaming Lips

She's starting to live her life
From the inside out
The sound of failure calls her name
She's decided to hear it out

So go tell Britney and go tell Gwen
She's not tryin' to go against all them
'Cause she's too scared and she, she can't pretend
To understand where it begins or ends
Or what it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let them go on
Let them go on

Standing there in the graveyard
While the moon sprays its fireworks in your hair
The sound of failure calls her name
She's decided to hear it out

So go tell Britney and go tell Gwen
She's not tryin' to go against all them
'Cause she's too scared and she, she can't pretend
To understand where it begins or ends
Or what it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let them go on
Let them go on

Where it begins or ends
Or what it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let it go on
Let it go on
Where it begins or ends
Or what it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let it go on
Let it go on

She doesn't know where it will take her
And she's going into the unknown

WELL SHIT... WE TIED THE MOST CONSECUTIVE POSTS... BUT DID NOT BREAK IT... A JACKASS LULLED ME INTO SLEEP WITH TALK OF VINAL FENCES AND CONCRETE WALLS, AND BASEMENT WINDOWS, AND WOMEN BRINGING THE HAMMER DOWN BECAUSE OF INDICISION... WE FAILED...

Ignition by R. Kelly

Now, um, usually I don't do this but uh....
Go head on and break 'em off with a lil' preview of the remix....

No, I'm not trying to be rude,
But hey, pretty girl, I'm feeling you
The way you do the things you do
Reminds me of my Lexus coupe
That's why I'm all up in yo grill
Tryna get you to a hotel
You must be a football coach
The way you got me playing the field

So, baby, gimme that toot toot
Lemme give you that beep beep
Running her hands through my 'fro
Bouncing on 24s
While they say on the radio...

It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend, baby
I'm about to have me some fun

bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
bounce, bounce, bounce

Now it's like "Murder She Wrote"
Once I get you out them clothes
Privacy is on the door
Still they can hear you screaming more
Girl, I'm feeling what you feeling
No more hoping and wishing
I'm 'bout to take my key and
Stick it in the ignition

So, baby, gimme that toot toot
Lemme give you that beep beep
Running her hands through my 'fro
Bouncing on 24s
While they say on the radio...

It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun

Cristal popping in the stretch Navigator
We got food everywhere
As if the party was catered
We got fellas to my left
Hunnies on my right
We bring 'em both together, we got juking all night
Then after the show it's the after-party
And after the party it's the hotel lobby
And round about 4 you gotta clear the lobby
Then head take it to the room and freak somebody

Can I get a toot toot?
Can I get a beep beep?
Running her hands through my 'fro
Bouncing on 24s
While they say on the radio...

It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun

It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun

Girl, we off in this Jeep
Fogging windows up
Blasting the radio
In the back of my truck
Bouncing up and down
Stroke it round and round
To the remix
We just thuggin it out...

MAN... THE POETRY IS SO SUBTILE IT'S HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT... I'M GUESSING HIS CAR.

Rockin' Chair by Mildred Bailey

Old rockin' chair's got me
(Old rocking chair got you, father)
Cane by my side
(Your cane by your side)

Fetch me that gin, son
(I ain't got no gin, father)
'Fore I tan your hide
(You're gonna tan my hide)

Can't get from this cabin
(Cabin, joking follow)
Ain't go nowhere
(You ain't goin' nowhere?)

Just sittin' me here grabbin'
(Grabbin' )
At the flies 'round my rockin' chair
(Rockin' chair)

Old dear aunt Harriet
(Aunt Harriet)
How long to Heaven she be?
(Heaven she be)

Send me a sweet chariot
(Oh chariot)
For the end of the trouble I see
(My sweet Cherie)

Old rockin' chair gets it
(Rocking chair get it, father)
Judgment Day is almost here
(Judgment Day is here)

Chained to my old
(Sing it pop, sing it)
Rockin' chair
[Incomprehensible]

Old rocking chair got you, father
(Yes, indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed, you got it)
And your cane by your side
(Can't get around no more)

But I ain't got no gin, father
(Well, that's all the sadness)
Oh, you gonna tan my hide, tan my hide
(Yeah, yeah get it)

You can't get from this cabin
(Man, I don't wanna go nowhere)
Oh no, father, but you ain't goin' nowhere
(Aha, aha)

You sittin' here grabbin', you grabbin', you grabbin'
(Grabbin', grabbin')
The flies 'round the old rockin' chair, rockin' chair

My dear old, aunt Harriet
(Yes son, how long to heaven she be?)
May up in heaven she be
(Yeah, you don't like that)

Oh chariot, oh chariot, chariot, chariot, chariot
(Yeah I got your ride, I got your ride, got every chariot)
Once again in the time of trouble, I've seen
(Yeah, nobody knows the trouble I've seen)

Old rockin' chair get it, rockin' chair get it
(Old rockin' chair get it)
And Judgment Day, oh, Judgment Day
(Judgment)
You sittin' here chained to your rockin' chair

TELL HIM TOGET UP OFF HIS ASS AND GET HIS OWN DAMN GIN!

Lord by Young Fathers

[Chorus]
Lord, don’t pay me no mind
Lord, if you choose in time
Lord, don’t pay me no mind
I'll take another one and I'll be yours
Lord, if you choose in time
I'll be the child
Lord, don’t pay me no mind
Lord, if you choose in time
I'll be the child

[Verse]
It's too late, too late
I won't see you later
If you fade, I'll fade
Fading together
Love is blind
Her love is kind
Her love is mine
Her love is mine
Love wants to give
Hate wants the thrills
Joy hates the pain
But pain, we all need
The pain we need to feel
If wishes were horses
Then beggars will ride
This is my cross to bear
This is my cross to bear
This is my cross to bear
This is my cross to bear

UM... NO... NO YOU CAN'T DANCE TO THIS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IF THE CROSS IS TOO HEAVY TO CARRY IT COMFORTABLY, DON'T CARRY IT. ITS THAT SIMPLE. IN FACT HERE'S AN IDEA... DON'T CARRY A CROSS AT ALL.

The Reflex by Duran Duran

The reflex
The reflex
The reflex
The reflex (flex, flex, flex)

"You've gone too far this time"
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it

The reflex is an only child he's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out

So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it

Why don't you use it?

The reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

Reflex

So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is an only child he's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

I USED IT... I BRUISED IT... I LOSED IT.,, QUIT TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.

If I Could Talk I'd Tell You by The Lemonheads

Half past nine, quarter to two, ten fifteen
And we’re coming round again
Hold off, are we going soft
Flushed my Zoloft, and we’re coming round again
Found out and I almost drowned
Walked back down, and we’re coming round again

If I could talk I’d tell you
If I could smile I’d let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

If I could talk I’d tell you
If I could smile I’d let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

Khmer Rouge, je ne sais quo
Your place or mein kampf, now I’m giving the dog a bone
Slight hunch without the vaguest clue
To keep the blood balanced and we’re coming around again
Half past nine, quarter to two, ten fifteen
And we’re coming round again

If I could talk I’d tell you
If I could smile I’d let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

If I could talk I’d tell you
If I could smile I’d let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

KAY... THE VIDEO IS ODDLY DISTURBING... AND NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE CLOWN...

Don't Ask Me No Questions by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Well everytime that I come home nobody wants to let me be
It seems that all the friends I got just got to come interrogate me
Well, I appreciate your feelings and I don't want to pass you by
But I don't ask you about your business, don't ask me about mine

Well its true I love the money and I love my brand new car
I like drinkin' the best of whiskey and playing in a honky tonk bar
But when I come off the road, well I just got to have my time
'Cause I got to find a break in this action, else I'm gonna lose my mind

[Chorus]
So, don't ask me no questions
And I won't tell you no lies
So, don't ask me about my business
And I won't tell you goodbye

That's right

Well, "what's your favorite color and do you dig the brothers," is drivin' me up a wall
And everytime I think I can sleep, some fool has got to call
Well don't you think that when I come home, I just want a little peace of mind
If you want to talk about the business buddy, you're just wastin' time

[Chorus]

I said don't ask no stupid questions and I won't send you away
If you want to talk fishin, well I guess that'll be OK

DON'T MAKE ANY JOKES ABOUT THE BAND GOIN' DOWN IN FLAMES EITHER.

WOW... THIS IS ONE OF THE RADDEST SONGS I'VE HEARD... AND CHECK OUT THE STICKER ON HIS GUITAR... T WOLD LOVE THAT SHIT...

Kept It All To Myself by The Weather Station

Kept it all to myself
Kept it all to myself
Kept it all to myself

There were days
When the luminescence of the skies
Or the deep brown grasses
Struck me so hard
In the early evening
I can hardly take it
That light feeling

I rode up past St. Clair
Same old city
But it could have been anywhere
And the scent of the air so exotic
Every thought like I never have thought it
And I felt that confidence in me
Like a child in a strange new body

I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself

Sometimes I loved you unadulterated, purely
Untouched by doubt or by my memory
Sometimes I loved you
In a shadowed way
Windscreen clearing but still
Streaked with grey

I'VE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE... WHERE SUDDENLY SOMETHING IN THE WORLD IS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT IT IS ALMOST PAINFUL TO LOOK AT... THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO... A CROW EYED ME SUSPICIOUSLY IN THE PARKING LOT LEXT TO WORK... I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT GUY EVERY DAY AFTER UNTIL MY OFFICE MOVED...

Denis by Blondie

Oh Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you, Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you, Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you
Denis Denis, oh with your eyes so blue
Denis Denis, I've got a crush on you
Denis Denis, I'm so in love with you

Oh when we walk it always feels so nice
And when we talk it seems like paradise
Denis Denis I'm so in love with you

You're my king and I'm in heaven every time I look at you
When you smile it's like a dream
And I'm so lucky 'cause I found a boy like you

Denis Denis, avec tes yeux si bleux
Denis Denis, moi j'ai flashe a nous deux
Denis Denis, un grand baiser d'eternite

Denis Denis, je suis si folle de toi
Denis Denis, oh embrasse-moi ce soir
Denis Denis, un grand baiser d'eternite

Oh Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you, Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you, Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you

YOU GOT TO ADMIT SOME OF THE LOOKS IN THE 70'S WERE PRETTY HOT... THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE 80'S WHERE I GUESS PEOPLE DECIDED 'WE ARE GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO APPEAR UNATTRACTIVE TO THE OPPOSITE SEX'

My Fist Your Face by Arrowsmith

Wake up baby, what you in for
Start the day upon your knees
What you pissin' in the wind for
You musta snorted too much blees
East house pinball wizard
Full tilt bozo played
Second floor trekkie
Makin' warp speed out the door
Julio Anpacolucci
He the only one who stayed
Countin' up the days
Please no more

My Fist Your Face
That's for sure

Hey Betty Boop you got me droolin'
I'm buzzin' 'round your hive tonight
You played the hooky 'stead of schoolin'
Son of a bitch put out the light
Thirteen year old hookers
Drag yourself right through the thorns
You wonder why the man's outside your door
Junior achievers, got the old bull by the horns
Back in the saddle get ya s'more (some more)

My Fist Your Face
That's for sure
Yeah!

East house pinball wizard
Full tilt bozo played
Second floor trekkie's

Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now

Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you... how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a... just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

IM JUST GUESSING HERE BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT MICK IS USING BROWN SUGAR AS A METAPHORE HERE

November Has Come by Gorillaz

Slow it down some
No split clown
Bum, your old hit sound dumb
Hold it now, crown 'im
Where you found them at
Got 'em 'round town
Coulda drowned in it
Woulda floated bloated
Voted sugar coated
Loaded hip shooter
Draw for the poor
Free coffee at the banks
Hit through the straw
None more for me, thanks
That blanks the raw
That dank sure stank lit
Sank passed the pit for more hardcore prank spit
Crank it on blast
Roll past front street
Blew the whole spot
Like some old ass with skunk meat
These kids is too fast
Juiced off a junk treat
Who could get looser off a crunk or a funk beat?

[CHORUS 2x:]
Something's starting today
Where did he go? why you wanted to be?
Well you know, november has come
When it's gone away..

(baha) Can you dig it like a spigot
My guess is yes you can like, can I kick it? wicked
Liquor shot
If u happy and u know it
As you clap your hands to the thick snot of a poet flow it
Broke a pen and i'm in cope hymen
Dope or rhymin all worth it then
The hope diamond
Required off the blackmarket
Or wire tappin
Couldn't target a jar of spit
The rapid fire spark lit
zzzzt!
A rapper bug zapper
And it don't matter after if they's a thug or a dapper.
Plug yer trap or it's maximum exposure
The beast got family in numbers asking 'em for closure
Aw, send 'em a gun an tell em clean it
Then go get the nun who said her son didn't mean it
She wore a filled-in thong
A billabong
And said, nah, fo'realla
The Villain on a Gorilla jawn?

[CHORUS 2x]

IT IS INDEED NOVEMBER, SLIDING INTO ANOTHER BROWN GLOBAL WARMED WINTER

Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

GOODBYE FATS. WE ARE SORRY TO SEE YOU GO BUT YOU GOT OUT WHILE THE GETTIN WAS GOOD

Steal My Sunshine by Len

I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week
Indulging in my self defeat
My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat
A comfortable three feet deep
Now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning week
Impaired my tribal lunar speak
And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done
So I missed a million miles of fun

I know it's up for me
If you steal my sunshine
Making sure I'm not in too deep
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping versed and on my feet
If you steal my sunshine

Check, come here come here, come here
Wow, look at her
I know
I've never seen Sharon look so bad before
I did once before, but this is pretty bad
Yeah, what do you think she got up to last night?
Ha ha ha
Tell, I, Karen I love you

I was lying on the bench slide in the park across the street
L-a-t-e-are that week
My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats
An incredible eight foot heap
Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat
Involved an under usual feet
And I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come
So I missed a million miles of fun

I know it's up for me
If you steal my sunshine
Making sure I'm not in too deep
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping versed and on my feet
If you steal my sunshine

I know it's done for me
If you steal my sunshine
Not some and hard to see
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping dumb and built to beat
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO I MADE ON MY VIAO OF MY VACATION IN LOS ANGELES

Wordy Rappinghood by Tom Tom Club

What are words worth?
What are words worth? Words

Words in papers, words in books
Words on TV, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but don't go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me

What are words worth?
What are words worth? Words

Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

Mots press?X, mots sens?X,
Mots qui disent la vâÝit?Mots maudits, mots mentis,
Mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

Its a rap race, with a fast pace
Concrete words, abstract words
Crazy words and lying words
Hazy words and dying words
Words of faith and tell me straight
Rare words and swear words
Good words and bad words

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

Words can make you pay and pay
Four-letter words I cannot say
Panty, toilet, dirty devil
Words are trouble, words are subtle
Words of anger, words of hate
Words over here, words out there
In the air and everywhere
Words of wisdom, words of strife
Words that write the book I like
Words won't find no right solution
To the planet earth's pollution
Say the right word, make a million
Words are like a certain person
Who can't say what they mean
Don't mean what they say
With a rap rap here and a rap rap there
Here a rap, there a rap
Everywhere a rap rap

Rap it up for the common good
Let us enlist the neighbourhood
It's okay, I've overstood
This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - Words

He'll stop Don't stop Stop

WORDS ARE INDEED POWERFUL. I RECENTLY HEARD AN INTERVIEW WITH A LINGUIST WHO KNEW A MAN WHO HAD LIVED THE FIRST 21 YEARS OF HIS LIFE WITHOUT LANGUAGUE BECAUSE HE WAS DEAF LIVING IN A HEARING FAMILY AND THE PARENTS HAD NEVER BOTHERED TO TEACH HIM SIGN LANGUAGE. SO THIS WOMAN GRADUALLY TAUGHT HIM LANGUAGE. LATER SHE ASKED HIM WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO LIVE WITHOUT WORDS WITOUT LANGUAGE. HE SAID HE COULDNT REMEMBER. ONCE HE HAD WORDS TO DESCRIBE THINGS IT SHATTERED THAT OTHER WORLD. HE JUST KNEW THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE WORLD HE LIVED IN WITH WORDS.

The KKK Took My Baby Away by The Ramones

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me

Now I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me

Ring me, ring me ring me
Up the President
And find out
Where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the FBI
And find out if
My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She went away for the holidays

The KKK took my baby away

They took my girl
They took my baby away

MAYBE THEY ARE HOLDING HER AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Wonder Why by Juliana Hatfield

The living room
The curly sheepskin rug we called “the furry”
And sometimes I wonder why
The plastic clock, the macrame owl, and the butcher block couch are on my mind

I wonder why my parents chose a brown and orange scheme
And why that seemed okay to me
I wonder why the kitchen was an avocado green
And the upstairs bathroom was peach

The northern lights
We saw them in Vermont one night from the car
But only once, I wonder why
The aliens who landed on the roof, they left me there
And didn’t take me to the sky
I’ve escaped into my childhood memories tonight

I wonder why my corduroys were always light blue
And I never had a TV in my bedroom
Just a flame from an electric candle on my windowsill
And I dreamed of my melodies touching you

I wonder why the marimekko fabric on the wall was ever taken down
I wonder how a transistor radio held up to my ear
Brought me to heaven
And it’s still leading me here

YES... AND GREEN SHAG CARPET... WHEN WE MOVED IN THERE WAS ACTUALLY A RAKE FOR THE GREEN SHAG CARPET...

American Girl by Tom Petty

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well it was kind of cold that night,
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

OH MY MY, OH HELL YES... WE WILL MISS YOU BROTHER

End of the World by Skeeter Davis

Why does the sun go on shining

Why does the sea rush to shore

Don't they know it's the end of the world

'Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing

Why do the stars glow above

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder

Why everything's the same as it was

I can't understand, no, I can't understand

How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating

Why do these eyes of mine cry

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye

Why does my heart go on beating

Why do these eyes of mine cry

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye

IN HONOR, OR, IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE, IN MEMORY, OF THOSE FOLKS WHO FOUND OUT THAT TODAY IS THE END OF THE WORLD BY FIGURING OUT SOME CODE IN THE BIBLE

Running on Empty by Jackson Browne

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running into the sun but I'm running behind

HERE'S THE THING... YOU MAY FEEL THAT YOU ARE RUNNING ON EMPTY... BUT YOU AIN'T... YOU JUST KEEP GOING, DAY AFTER DAY... AND SOMETIMES YOU FEEL YOU'RE ABOUT TO DROP OFF... BUT YOU DON'T... YOU JUST KEEP GOING...AND THIS IS WHY OLD DUDES DON'T WRITE SONGS LIKE THIS... BECAUSE THINGS BECOME LESS DRAMATIC... AND YOU KEEP MOVING...

What a Difference a Day Makes by Dinah Washington

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

NAH... IT WAS NO BETTER THAN, SAY, MOWING THE LAWN

Fools Errand by Fleet Foxes

I knew you fine, sight dream of mine
But I know my eyes they've often lied
And I move like blood, like fire and flood
Despite you

Blind love couldn't win
As the facts all came in
But I know I'll again chase after wind
What have I got if not a thought?

I knew, oh I knew
I knew

It was a fool's errand
Waiting for a sign
I can't leave until the sight comes to mind
A fool's errand

Life will repeat
Vision I see
The mouth and the teeth
That's fine with me
What have I got if not a thought?

I knew, oh I knew
I knew

It was a fool's errand
Waiting for a sign
But I can't leave until the sign comes to mind
A fool's errand

But I can make it through
I was thin and I saw All Life in you
A fool's errand

UH, HONEY... GET THE KIDS. LETS GET OFF THIS BEACH... THERE ARE SOME FLIPPING WIERD PEOPLE HERE.

Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry

Hey, do it now

Yeah, hey

Hey, Once I was a boogie singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh ya, ya

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish (How could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, ya
Till you die

(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah)

(Hey, wait a minute)
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock and Roll and minds and things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now it's so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh' till you die

They shouted play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(You Gotta keep on playin' funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Come and take you higher, ya)
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, ya
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right

WELL... IT WAS THE 70S

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen

Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile line

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

I see you Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line

Sky of blackness and sorrow (a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness (a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear (a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow (a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life (a dream of life)

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

I REMEMBER WHENTHIS SONG CAME OUT... IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO... ITS BEEN FIFTEEN YEARS... TIME IS FLYING BY...

Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap

Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one's watching you

A moment of love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment of love
A dream
A laugh
A moment of love
A dream
A laugh

So stay there
'Cause I'll be coming over
While our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop to surrender

Songs of desperation
I played them for you

A moment of love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment of love
A dream
A laugh
A moment of love
A dream
A laugh

Stay there
'Cause I'll be coming over
While our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop to surrender

Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop to surrender


A moment of love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment of love
A dream
A laugh
A moment of love
A dream
A laugh

Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop to surrender

WON'T STOP TILL IT'S OVER? WOW HOW FRIGGIN PROFOUND. MAYBE IT WILL STOP FIRST AND THEN BE OVER. OR MAYBE IT WILL BE OVER BUT IT WONT STOP. OR MAYBE THEY SHOULD WIN A PRIZE FOR MOST PROFOUND LYRIC EVER.

 

Walking in the Rain by The Ronettes

I want him, and I need him
And someday someday wooo I'll meet him
He'll be kind of shy, and real good lookin' too
And I'll be certain he's my guy by the things he'll like to do..

Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love

When he's near me, I'll kiss him,
And when he leaves me woo I'll miss him
Though somethimes we'll fight, I won't really care
And I'll know it's gonna be alright cause we've got so much we share

Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love

(Johnny) no no he'll never do
(Bobby) no it isn't him too
They would never no they'd never never ever love
Walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars (and wishing on the stars) up above
And being so in love

Oh Oh Oh Where can he be oh oh

KAY, SO THIS SONG AND THE ONE FROM YESTERDAY CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW GIRLS VIEW A RELATIONSHIP AND THE WAY DUDES VIEW THEM...

Miss You by The Rolling Stones

I've been holding out so long

I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you.
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

You've been strung up for her too long,
You know - girls will come and go -
They're just like streetcars...
I've been staying here too long,
Sometimes I feel so
Abandoned...

Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah

Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! Come on!

I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
People ask me, "What's the matter with you boy?"

Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won't miss you child

I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah

I DON'T KNOW, THE PUERTO RICAN THING SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD...

My Ding-a-Ling by Chuck Berry

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

You know, then mama took me to Sunday school
They tried to teach me the golden rule
Everytime that choir would sing
Watch me playin' with my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard, I heard bells ring
But held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

Once, I was swimmin' 'cross Turtle Creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing
With both hands holdin' my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

This little song, it ain't so sad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
You must be playin' with your own ding-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

Your own ding-a-ling, your own ding-a-ling
We saw you playin' with your own ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, everybody sing
I wanna play with my ding-a-ling
I wanna play with my ding-a-ling

I ACHE IN THE PLACES THAT I USED TO PLAY....

ONE OF THE VERY BEST ROCK SONGS EVER... AND ONE OF THE BEST COVERS EVER... AND COMRAD DETECTIVE IS AWESOME!

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL

Shop Around by The Miricles

When I became of age my mother called me to her side,
She said,"Son, you're growing up now pretty soon you'll take a bride.
And then she said, "Just because you've become a young man now,
There's still somethings that you don't understand now,
Before you ask some girl for her hand now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now."

My mama told me, "You better shop around, (shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around." (shop, shop around)

Aha, got some things that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
The women come and the women gonna go now
Before you tell em that you love em so now.

My mama told me, "You better shop around, (shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around." (shop, shop around)

A try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
A try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'

Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
Make sure she's in love with-a you now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around."

[Instrumental]

Ooh yeah, you try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
I gotta find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.

Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
Make sure she's in love with you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now."

My mama told me, "You better shop around (shop, shop)
Aha, Don't let the first one get you
Oh no cause I don't want to see her with you
Aha, Before you let her hold you tight, ah yeah yeah make sure shes alright
Before you let her take your hand my son
Understand my son, be a man my son I know you can my son

YES.... SHOP AROUND. BUT WEAR A CONDOM.

Die Young by Sylvan Esso

I had it all planned that way before you met me
Was gonna leave early and so swiftly
Maybe in a fire or crash off a ravine
People would weep, "How tragic, so early"

I was gonna die young
Now I gotta wait for you, hun
Now I gotta wait for you, hun
Now I gotta wait for you, hun

I was a firecracker, baby, with something to prove
Now I gotta contend with the living blues
I could've missed it, and never knew
Chain reaction but you're holding the fuse

I was gonna die young
Now I gotta wait for you, hun
Now I gotta wait for you, hun (honey)
Now I gotta wait for you, hun

Oh, I don't mind
I got the fire
Electric life
So high, so wild
It's not like I chose
Not like I tried
But now I gotta wait around
And watch you burn so bright
I was gonna die

I had it all planned that way before you met me
I had a plan, you ruined it completely
I had it all planned that way before you met me
I had a plan, you ruined it completely

I was gonna die young
(I had it all planned that way before you met me)
Now I gotta wait for you, hun
(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)
Now I gotta wait for you, hun (honey)
(I had it all planned that way before you met me)
Now I gotta wait for you, hun
(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)

I was gonna die young (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I gotta wait for you, hun (I was gonna, I was gonna)
Now I gotta wait for you, hun (oh, oh)
Now I gotta wait for you, hun (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)

I had it all planned that way before you met me
I had a plan, you ruined it completely
I had it all planned that way before you met me
I had a plan, you ruined it completely

OKAY... NOT SURE WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT BUT MORE POWER TO EM

What's Going On? by Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

A SONG FOR THE EVENTS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE

Achin' to Be by The Replacements

Well she's kind of like an artist
Sittin' on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul

And she's kind of like a movie
Everyone rushes to see
And no one understands it
Sittin' in their seats

She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She's achin' to be

Well she dances alone in nightclubs
Every other day of the week
People look right through her
Baby doll, check your cheek

And she's kind of like a poet
Who finds it hard to speak
Poems come so slowly
Like the colors down a sheet

She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She's achin' to be

I've been achin' for a while now, friend
I've been achin' hard for years

Well she's kind of like an artist
Who uses paints no more
You never show me what you're doing
Never show a soul

Well, I saw one of your pictures
There was nothin' that I could see
If no one's on your canvas
Well, I'm achin' to be

She closes her mouth to speak and
Closes her eyes to see
Thought about an' only loved
She's achin' to be
Just like me

THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE PLAY 'ART' WHERE A DUDE BUYS A BLANK CANVASS FOR A HUGE CHUCNK OF CHANGE BECAUSE THE 'ARTIST' CALLS IT 'ART'. HIS FRIENDS COME OVER AND ENLIGNTEN HIM ON WHAT A DUMB ASS HE IS. ACTUALLY, ONE THINKS HE'S A DUMB ASS AND THE OTHER TRIES TO UNDERSTAND THE ART. SO... I GUESS IT IS ART BECAUSE IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT GOOD ART SHOULD, GET PEOPLE THINKING, GET PEOPLE TALKING.
