Sculpture by Skalpel

Here I am again on the brink of destruction
Lost all senses of comprehension
What I have seen is cold reality
The stage has frozenb but still approaching
Death takes its toll on me
Mind decay
Disminded energy
Haunted by yesterday
Don’t want my soul to bleed
Senses astray
Lost sanity
Time to pay
Hidden in this world that was made for me
Standing alone, I am freezing
The door is locked now, I’m trapped in me
One-way path and a missing key
Chaos in my mind, I am lost in thought
Never an end, why won’t it stop?
A sculpture ideal to be perfect in all ways
But what I see is a statue with no face
Death takes its toll on me
Mind decay
Disminded energy
Haunted by yesterday
Don’t want my soul to bleed
Senses astray
Lost sanity
Time to pay
Hidden in this world that was made for me
Standing alone, I am freezing
The door is locked now, I’m trapped in me
One-way path and a missing key
Looking down at the past forgotten
Undying memory of what was and that should have been
You’re not the fear, it’s me
Is there something here that is pulling me back?
Did I lose myself in this attack?
Arranging my mind’s complex thoughts
To be released from this predestined loss
Death takes its toll on me
Mind decay
Disminded energy
Haunted by yesterday
Don’t want my soul to bleed
Senses astray
Lost sanity
Time to pay
Hidden in this world that was made for me
Standing alone, I am freezing
The door is locked now, I’m trapped in me
One-way path that no one can see

WELL DUDE YOU NEED TO SEE THAT MOVIE THE BUTTERFLY AND THE DIVING BELL OR THAT ONE ON THAT SMART MATH DUDE FROM ENGLAND. YOU CAN BECOME A GENIOUS. MOSTLY THOUGH YOU ARE RIGHT YOU JUST END UP LAYING IN YOUR FILTH UNTIL SOME DISGRUNTLED WORKER GETTING PAID 8 DOLLARS AN HOUR SCRAPES YOU OFF AND PUTS YOU TO BED.

The American Way by The Simpsons

[Shary Bobbins]
If there's a task that must be done,
Don't turn your tail and run
Don't pout! Don't sob!
Just do a half-assed job!
If you cut every corner,
It's really not so bad.
Everybody does it,
Even Mum and Dad.
If nobody see it, then nobody gets mad!
[Bart] It's the American way!
[Shary Bobbins] The policeman on the beat needs some time to rest his feet.
[Chief Wiggum] Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!
[Shary Bobbins] And the clerk who runs the store can charge a little more for meat!
[Apu] For meat
[Shary Bobbins] And milk
[Apu] And milk!
[Shary Bobbins & Apu]
From nineteen-eighty-four!
[Shary Bobbins] If you cut every corner, you'll have more time for play!
[Shary Bobbins & the Simpsons] It's the American way!

I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying by Sting

Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
And she shows her face to ask me how I am.
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me,
Maybe I could come and babysit sometime.

She says "Are you ok? I was worried about you,
Can you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happy."
I said "I'm so happy that I can't stop crying,
I'm so happy, I'm laughing through my tears."

I saw a friend of mine. He said "I was worried about you,
I heard she had another man. I wondered how you felt about it"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying,
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears.

Saw my lawyer, Mr. Good News
He got me joint custody and legal separation.
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying,
I'm laughing through my tears, I'm laughing through my tears.

I can't stop crying, I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears.

I took a walk along last night, I looked up at the stars,
To try and find an answer in my life.
I chose a star for me, I chose a star for him,
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife.
Something made me smile, something seemed to ease the pain,
Something 'bout the universe and how it's all connected.

The park is full of Sunday fathers and melted ice cream.
We try to do the best within the given time.
A kid should be with his mother, everybody knows that,
What can a father do but babysit sometimes.

I saw that friend of mine, he said "you look different somehow."
I said "everybody's got to leave the darkness sometimes."
I said, "I'm so happy that I can't stop crying,
I'm laughing through my tears, I'm laughing through my tears."

"I'm so happy that I can't stop crying,
I'm laughing through my tears, I'm laughing through my tears."

USUALLY SONGS THAT ARE ABOUT FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF WHEN YOU GET DUMPED ANNOY ME... THIS ONE, THOUGH, PERFECTLY CAPTURES SOMETHING TRUE... I GUESS STING DIDNT HAVE TIME TO FINISH HIS HAIR CUT BEFORE THEY FILMED THIS VIDEO.

I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...

I FORGOT THIS SONG EVEN EXISTED EVEN THOUGH IT PLAYED ON THE RADIO ABOUT A THOUSAND TIMES A DAY WHEN I WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH

Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan

Way back when
In Sixty-seven
I was the dandy
Of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I
Hey Nineteen
No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

Hey Nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember
The Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The Soul Survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growing old

Hey Nineteen
No we got nothing in common
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

Nice
Sure looks good
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Skate a little lower now

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all

WELL DUDE... IF YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE OLD IN 81 YOU SURE AS SHIT ARE OLD NOW THIRTY-SIX YEARS LATER. THAT IS THE IRONY OF SONGS LIKE THIS. YOU SING ABOUT GETTING OLDER... THEN YOU GET OLD... AND NO ONE REALLY DOES WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU ANY MORE BECAUSE OUR SOCIETY IS SO OBSESSED WITH YOUTH.

Tits by Sparks

Harry, it's good of you to stay
Hear every word I say
And not just duck away

God, these drinks are something warm and watered down
Barkeep, how 'bout some ice
Hey, Harry sit back down
Say, that little thing there's fine from behind

They all look good after three or four,
So drink Harry, drink Harry,
Drink 'til you can't see no more
Of anything, no more of anything
Drink Harry, drink Harry, drink 'til you can't see no more

For months, for years,
Tits were once a source of fun and games at home
And now she says, tits are only there to feed our little Joe
So that he'll grow

Harry, it's really rough at home
I've caught her on the phone
Hey, who's that on the phone?
"Oh, that's no one dear",

The standard sort of line
Harry, you know me well,
You know that I'm not blind
Hey, you ain't been drinking
Don't you know I'm buying?

They all taste good after three or four
So drink Harry, drink Harry, drink 'til you can't drink no more
Of anything, no more of anything
Drink Harry, drink 'til you can't drink no more

How well I know
Tits were only there for fun and games at home
And now she says, tits are only there to feed our little Joe
So that he'll grow

God, the room is spinning round
Hey, drive me home old pal
God, you sure get around
Harry, I know it's you who's breaking up my home
Harry, don't say a word, just drop me off at home
Harry, forgive me Harry, let's have just one more

It's all so good after three or four
It's all so good after three or four
It's all so good after three or four

So let's drink Harry, drink 'til we can't drink no more
Of anything, no more of anything
Drink Harry, drink Harry, drink 'til we can't drink no more

How well I know
Tits were once a source of fun and games at home
And now she says, tits are only there to feed our little Joe
So that he'll grow into a man

So let's drink Harry, drink 'til we can't see no more

INSTEAD OF SHOWING HIS HAND, THIS DUDE SHOULD HAVE PUT SOME CHILI OIL ON HIS WIFE'S BOOBS WHEN SHE WAS SLEEPING SO THAT WHEN HARRY CAME AROUND, WAMMO! THIS IS WHAT DONT UNDERSTAND. WHY? WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU DRINK YOURSELF BLIND IN A BAR? YOU CAN DO THE SAME AT HOME OR IN A PARK FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST AND THEN DONT HAVE TO BE AROUND ALL THOSE OTHER LAME ASS DRUNK PEOPLE.

Is This Love by Bob Marley

I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you - I wanna love and treat - love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.

Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?

DUDE IN A MONTH OR TWO YOU ARE GOING TO WISH YOU HAD A BIGGER BED. A SINGLE BED FOR TWO IS OKAY FOR A WHILE BUT THEN YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU NEED SOME SPACE. BTW THERE IS A FAMOUS SUPERMODEL IN THIS VIDEO. SHE IS ONE OF THE CHILDREN.

Take the Skinheads Bowling by Camper Van Beethoven

Every day, I get up and pray to Jah
And he decreases the number of clocks by exactly one
Everybody's comin' home for lunch these days
Last night there were skinheads on my lawn
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
I has a dream last night, but I forget what it was
I had a dream last night about you, my friend
I had a dream--I wanted to sleep next to plastic
I had a dream--I wanted to lick your knees
I had a dream--it was about nothing

WOW.... WOW... THIS PERFECTLY CAPTURES HIGHSCHOOL SONGWRITING. AND YES WE SHOULD TAKE THEM BOWLING.
