This was originally posted at the Mac Addict Forums, but I'd like to see what we could do with it here.
The rules of the game are simple. All you have to do is post a song lyric with at least one word in it the same as the previous lyric. For example if I post:
And we'd sleep, oh so close.
then someone else could post:
And I've been dreaming of sleep and ape men with metal parts.
Both lyrics have the word sleep in them. You get it? Oh, and try not to use common words like and, the, I, a, or, etc. as your link. That would be too easy. One more thing, put the artist and the song title after the lyric so we'll know it's from a real song.
Let's go, here's the first lyric:
She goes ballistic on me, says I don't meet her needs, and she's had enough I guess.
Econoline Crush - Surefire
**ONE THING I FORGOT TO MENTION ORIGINALLY: TRY NOT TO USE THE SAME WORD AS A LINK TWICE IN A ROW.**

"If you visit American city, You will find it very pretty. Just two things of which you must beware: Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air.
Pollution, pollution, They got smog and sewage and mud. Turn on your tap and get hot and cold running crud.
See the halibuts and the sturgeons Being wiped out by detergents. Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly, But they don't last long if they try.
Pollution, pollution, You can use the latest toothpaste, And then rinse your mouth with industrial waste.
Just go out for a breath of air, And you'll be ready for Medicare. The city streets are really quite a thrill. If the hoods don't get you, the monoxide will.
Pollution, pollution, Wear a gas mask and a veil. Then you can breathe, long as you don't inhale.
Lots of things there that you can drink, But stay away from the kitchen sink. The breakfast garbage that you throw in to the Bay, They drink at lunch in San Jose.
So go to the city, see the crazy people there. Like lambs to the slaughter, They're drinking the water And breathing <cough> the air."

"Soap Box Preacher," Robbie Robertson from the album Storyville
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS: I can't sing the praises of this album highly enough. Very rich, very cool, very touching without sentimentality. Robertson, a Native Canadian who was the guitarist for Bob Dylan's backup group (The Band), tells the story of a innocent, small-town young man's descent into the seedier side of New Orleans. It's set in the Storyville red-light district of New Orleans, back about a hundred years ago.
1. "Night Parade": he first leaves the sanctuary of a small hometown, "moving to the heartbeat of the city"
2. "Hold Back the Dawn": he falls in love with a woman from the wrong side of the tracks, asking her to raise up her hand and hold back the dawn, staying safe and warm with the world shut out outside
3. "Go Back to Your Woods": he realizes this city is more than he bargained for, and "when the night goes down on Storyville, if the women don't get ya, the music will"
And so on. There's a good site at The Band's website with video clips, audio files, and an extended history.

My love must be a kind of blind love, I can't see anyone but you And dear, I wonder if you find love, an optical illusion, too?
Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright cause I only have eyes for you. The moon may be high, but I can't see a thing in the sky, cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden, or on a crowded avenue. You are here, so am I. Maybe millions of people go by but they all disappear from view, and I only have eyes for you.

I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

So shall all the couples three Ever true in loving be; And the blots of Nature's hand Shall not in their issue stand; Never mole, hare-lip, nor scar, Nor mark prodigious, such as are Despised in nativity, Shall upon their children be. With this field-dew consecrate, Every fairy take his gait, And each several chamber bless, Through this palace, with sweet peace; And the owner of it blest Ever shall in safety rest. Trip away; make no stay; Meet me all by break of day."

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in I found my mind in a brown paper bag within I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high I tore my mind on a jagged sky I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in I got up so tight I couldn't unwind I saw so much I broke my mind I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

There's a story that goes with this one. I'm working in the bookstore today, and a tall guy with a mustache walks in and looks around a bit. He showed interest in the music that was playing (a local musician whose CDs we carry). Then he did a double-take at the pile of CDs next to the radio, and said, "That's my CD!" Turns out he's a musician from New York, played a gig down the street from here last night, and the album on top of the pile happened to be one he recorded two years ago!

And you who had the honor of her evening, And by the honor had your own restored – Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving; Alexandra leaving with her lord.

Slowly, deftly, music shall surround you hear it, feel it, closing in around you... Turn your face away from the garish LIGHT of day Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling LIGHT. And listen to the Music of the NIGHT....
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams, Purge your thoughts of the world you knew before... Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar...... And you'll live as you never lived before....
Softly, gently night unfurls its splendor, Feel it, grasp it, Tremulous and tender, (something something something da sonething something something.... I've heard this song 134 times and still don't know two lines....) And listen to the Music Of The NIGHT.....
Oh, yeah, It's Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Hey - you edited that one out from under me
I'm from boring old America - I just have a fascination with world music, and a special penchant for Rai, a French-Algerian hybrid. I also have a lot in Spanish, French, German, some Turkish, Hindi, Swedish. Lately I've been on a Latin kick, which can be construed as cheesy, but I think Spanish is one of the languages best suited for the rhythm of music. Plus I'm trying frantically to learn Spanish for my trip to Mexico in three days!. Listening to music in a language really helps you remember word usage. And as a last resort, I can always fake like I'm fluent by busting out phrases like "Puedo escalar los Andes solo por ir a contar tus lunares" or "Te regalo mi locura y las pocas neuronas que queden ya..."
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
It's on this soundtrack. Sinead O'Connor does some of the vocals. There's also an instrumental version on one of the "Please" singles (the one with the Junk Day and Bitter Kiss mixes of "Dirty Day"). It says the music's by U2 and the lyrics are by Bono.
Oh, and I used "Big Girls Are Best" the other day. I don't know if it's against the rules to use the same song twice, but I felt I should point out that I beat you to it.

Sorry. I didn't mean to do the editing trick.
I'm pretty big into world music as well. Lately I've been getting into arabic jazz. There's a really great Tunisian oud player named Anouar Brahem. If you haven't heard of him, it's well worth it. I may even be able to point you to some sample tracks if you'd like. Rabih Abou-Khalil (from Lebanon) is really good also. And if you haven't heard any Hawaiian slack-key guitar, you need to.
As far as the latin music, I've got quite a bit of that. My favourite is Mana. That was actually what I'd added when I noticed it was too late and had to switch to Monty Python.
I'd ask you what kind of Turkish, German and Rai music you have, but I'm afraid if we do too many more non-lyric posts we're going to get in trouble. Perhaps a new thread or an email or something...
Good luck in Mexico. I'm jealous. I was in Galveston two weeks ago today, and the gulf was wonderful.

Last night I was walking through the harbour Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore, The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be Where the mayor was making a speech, And the crowd started cheering When he talked about the glory of it all, And the boys coming home from the war.
Last night, they were dancing in the streets And making music in the alleyways and bars, From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars, Margarita was waiting inside, With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light, And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war, The boys coming home from the war.
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine, We were kings in command, we had God on our side, And we said that nothing will make us change in any way, Since yesterday, we're just the same Since yesterday, nothing has changed Since yesterday, we're just the same But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside, To be satisfied, I saw it there last night

A long, long time ago In a galxy far away Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Goon Jinn could talk the Federation in to maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response It did not thrill us They locked the door and tried to kill us We escaped from that gas And met Jar-Jar and Boss Nass We took a bongo from the scene and we went to Theed to see the queen we all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Did you know this junkyard slave Isn't even old enough to shave, but he can use the force they say Ohhh, do you see him hitting on the queen though he's just nine and she 14 Yeah he's probly gonna marry her, SOOOOOMEDay Well, I know he built C-3PO and I Heard how fast his pod can go And we were broke it's true so we made a wager or two Ooooh, he was a prepubescent flying ace and the minute Jabba started off that race Well, I knew who would win first place, Oh yes, it was our boy We started singing
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Well, we took him back to Coruscant the Jedi counsel we knew would want to see how good the boy could be. So we took him there and we told the tale How his midichlorians were off the scale and he might fulfill that prophecy Well the counsel was impressed of course Could he bring balance to the Force They interviewed the kid But training they forbid Because Yoda sensed in him much fear Qui-Gonn said "Now listen hear, just stick it in your pointy ear, I still will teach this boy" He started singing
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Well, we caught a ride back to Naboo Cause Queen Amidala wanted to I frankly would have liked to stay And in the end some Gungans died Some ships blew up and some pilots fried A lot of folks were croakin' The Battle droids were broken And the Jedi I admire most met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast I'm still here and he's a ghost I guess I'll train that boy
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi

Well, the railway man he cut the cards And dealt them each a hand of five And for the Lord he was praying hard Or that train he'd have to ride The Devil, he had three aces and a king And the Lord, he was running for a straight He had the queen, the knave the nine and ten of spades All he needed was the eight But when he called for one more card He drew the diamond eight! And the Devil said to the Son of God "I believe you've got a straight So deal me one, for the time has come To see who'll be the king of this place!" But As he spoke, from beneath his cloak, He slipped another ace! Ten thousand souls was the opening bid And it soon went up to sixty five But the Lord didn't see what the Devil had done And he said, "That suits me fine. I'll raise you high To a hundred and five, and forever put an end to your sins!" But the Devil let out a mighty shout: "My hand wins!"
-The middle section of Chris de Burgh's "Spanish Train"

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you find he did not leave you very much not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another

If you don't want her to resent you when she's fourteen, you'd better either 1)Raise her on "Telegraph Road" and "Romeo and Juliet" (my personal Dire Straits picks), not to mention all the solo Knopfler stuff. Fortunately, I think he's still touring, but you'd best hurry. 2) Or make it Jane Knopflera.
I pick (1), of course.

By the way, Matt, while R&J may not be my favorite track (not that I dislike it), good call on Telegraph Road. Brilliant song. The whole "Love Over Gold" album is almost perfect. Of course, it's still hard to top the self title album, but that's just my opinion.

Hey, as long as we're talking Waits, I just wanted to throw in an amusing anecdote that I found in an essay about him:
quote: The one complaint Waits' fans have is that he doesn't tour (it seems he'd rather spend time with his family). In early 1996, however, he performed a benefit concert in San Francisco, for a friend arrested on trumped-up drug charges. The show sold out in forty-five minutes, and during the performance, someone called out: "Hey Tom, where you been?" Waits shot right back: "Where you been? You still working out at the airport?"

You've probably heard "Forever Young" or "Big in Japan," and now you know the band. The key album is also titled "Forever Young," and was released in 1984, but they're admirably still working.

Time, time, time See what´s become of me While I looked around For my possibilities I was so hard to please Look around Leaves are brown And the sky Is a hazy shade of winter
Paul Simon,* Hazy Shade of Winter
*performed, as we all appreciate, by the Bangles; however, I don't want to get Speed on me again, like he did when I (quite fairly in my view, as the song is made much richer by their performance) credited Urge Overkill with "Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon." Speed, perhaps with some justification felt wounded on behalf of Neil Diamond, who wrote the song, and called me on it. Not that I'm taking anything away from Neil Diamond; his performance of "They're Coming to America" is among the most imitated by I and my associates, in a hugely overexaggerated Diamond "I'm-really-constipated" voice. Anyway, this credit is for you, Speed. So nyah. Posted by filetted (Member # 5048) on :

The Spin Doctors, "Two Princes"
I have to confess, I know nothing about this band except for this song, which played incessantly on the radio a few years back. However, I've got a friend who is, for some reason, an *active* Spin Doctors fan, which is so unusual that I find it important to mention it when I see him. Since I was plotting our annual July Fourth baseball game with him today, and asking him about the welfare of the Spin Doctors, these lyrics happened to be in the forefront of my mind. And here, I encounter a golden opportunity to use them.
Things happen for a reason. I'm sure of it. Posted by Lyndsie (Member # 5369) on :

He said, "Don't knock it, sonny, that's the way I started out, and now I got a nice suit, I got a nice car, it's been a nice day, don't tell me that crime don't pay.

O Annie the U2 ubergeek, answer me this: In the Best of 1990-2000 version of "Mysterious Ways," what is that line that's different from the album version? The album version goes "She's the wave, she turns the tide; she sees the man inside the child." But the other one goes "She's the wave, she turns the tide; (something something) and she knows why."

Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one Who can give them the answers And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun Where sweet childhood still dances Who'll come along And hold out that strong and gentle father's hand? Long ago I heard someone say something 'bout Everyman
Waiting here for Everyman-- Make it on your own if you think you can If you see somewhere to go I understand
I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan Turn and walk away if you think I am-- But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout Everyman

Outside of this window In ten degrees just before dawn A plastic Mary blinks Illuminated from the inside My heart glows with the spirit of Christmas Feelin' love, for lack of a better word Spirit of love, for lack of a better phrase The goodness in man is not what we've created below Spirit of love makes the wind blow And the winter comes, rides a winter storm Hands are cold, hearts are warm And the children play, out in the rugged cold Grandpa sways by the stove Feelin' love, for lack of a better word Spirit of love, for lack of a better phrase The goodness in man is not what we've created below Spirit of love makes the wind blow

I run off where the drifts get deeper, Sleeping Beauty, she trips me with a frown. I hear your voice, "You must learn to stand up for yourself, cause I can't always be around."
You say "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind, cause things are gonna change so fast. All the white horses are still in bed. I tell you that I'll always want you near. You know that things change my dear."

CHORUS As the well fills up with a sweet red wine Stand and drink down the treasures of time To the past and the friendship we knew The only present I've got's an old memory of you Blue shadows of what used to be

That used to be a warehouse there, and this was all bombed in The War, And here the last wild boar was slain, and then my father met my ma, This was the place where I was born, and in the sixties this was hip, And right through here the Romans came, and this is where it all began,

Poor puppy, you look so sad, I guess you think that no one ever felt so bad before. Everybody has the blues, everybody has the blues. Everybody knows the way that you feel today.
Everybody gets to sit and cry, everybody gets to wonder why. Everybody gets to watch the sky turn grey.
Maybe you lost your job, maybe you lost your girl, maybe you feel like you're losing your mind, maybe it's the end of the world.

In your eyes The light the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution of all the fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, i want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat i see in your eyes

I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest, who'd have known? I traced the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine, I didn't think enough I'm too depresed to go on, you'll be sorry when I'm gone
I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was watching Too late to try The tour was over we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone Another six months, I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never step foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault

I live in a town called Millhaven And it's small and its's mean and it's cold But if you come around just as the sun goes down You can watch the whole thing turn to gold It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming Singing la la la la la la la lie All God's children they all gotta die
My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie I'm closing in on my fifteenth year And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green Then you sure haven't seen them around here My hare is yellow and I'm always a-combing la la la la La la lie Mama often told me we all have to die
You must have heard about The Curse of Milhaven How last Christmas Bill Blake's little boy didn't come home They found him the next week in One Mile Creek His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones Well, just imagine the wailing and moaning La la la la La la la lie Even little Billy Blake, he had to die
Then Professor O'rye from Millhaven High Found nailed to his door, his prize winning terrier The next day the old fool brought little Biko to school And we all had to watch as he buried her His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing La la la la La la la lie Even God's little creatures, they have to die
Our little town fell into a state of shock A lot of people were saying things that made little sense Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe Was found in the fountain of the Mayor's residence Foul play can really get a small town going La la la la la la la lie All God's children all have to die
Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs. Colgate Was stabbed but the job was not complete The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead Was,"My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!" Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning La la la la La la la lie The young ones and old ones, they all gotta die
Yes it is I lottie The curse of Millhaven I've struck horror in the heart of this town Like my eyes ain't green and my hair ain't yellow It's more like the other way around I've got a pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming La la la la La la la lie Sooner or later we all gotta die
Since I was no bigger than a weevilthey've been sayin I was evil That if "bad" was a boot then I'd fit it That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard lately O **** it! I'm a monster I admit it! It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going La la la la la la la lie Mama always told me that we all gotta die
Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit Did the handyman with his circular saw in the garden shed But I never crucified little Biko, that was two junior high school psychos Stinky Bohoon and his frien with the pumpkin-sized head I'll sing to the lot now you got me going La la la la La la la lie All God's children have all gotta die
There were all of the others, all out sisters and brothers You assumed were accidents, best forgotten Recall the children who broke through the ice in lake Tahoo? Everyone assumed the "Warning" signs had followed them to the bottem Well, they're underneath the House where I do quite a bit of stowing La la la la La la la lie Even twenty little children, they had to die

Have mercy on me sir Allow me to impose on you I have no place to stay And my bones are cold right through I will tell you a story Of a man and his family And I swear that it is true
Ten years ago I met a girl named joy She was a sweet and happy thing her Eyes were bright blue jewels And we were married in the spring I had no idea what happiness alittle love could bring Or what life had in store But all things move toward their end All things move toward their end On that you can be sure
Then one morining I awoke to find her weeping And for many days to follow She grew so sad and lonely Became Joy in name only Within her breast there launched an unnamed sorrow And a dark and grim force set sail Fare well happy fields Where joy forever dwells Hail horrors hail
Was it an act of contrition or some awful premonition As if sh saw into the heart of her final blood soaked night Those lunatic eyes that hungry kitchen knife Ah I see sir that I have your attention! Whatcould it be?
How often I've asked that question well then in quick succession We had babies one two three

As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me son, it's time to tell the truth She broke down, and I broke down Cause I was tired of lying
Driving home to her apartment For a moment we're alone Yeah she's alone I'm alone Now I know it

Well the big bad wolf huffed and puffed All that he could And low and behold the little piggies house stood Its made out of concrete the little piggy shouted the wolf just frowned as he pouted So they called 9-11 like any piggy would And sent out Rambo just as fast as they could Ayo wolf face..your ass is mine *gunfire*

The itsy bitsy spider crawled in from the sun . Crept into the crib, found a baby bun. Baby kept a-cryin' 'till mommas' work was done. And the itsy bitsy spider crawled back out in the sun .
The itsy bitsy spider crawled into momma's bed. Crawled up on her hubby and bit him in the head. Momma lay there sleepin' while hubby lay there dead. And the itsy bitsy spider crawled outta momma's bed.
The itsy bitsy spider crawled into momma's shoe. Momma was forlorn and didn't know what to do. She tried to go for help But her foot was turnin' blue. And the itsy bitsy spider crawled outta momma's shoe.
So the itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider went in the spout again.

Well I rubbed the dirt all down and I washed away six aching days and my shoes all slick and spit and my singlet fresh and my sideburns shaved As I turn from the mirror and I open my first beer since yesterday Danny brings the Bedford round A three-ton girl with a ten foot tray And she knows the way to town So we kiss goodbye to two weeks pay Now the leaves are shakin' and the stars are waking from the day Big wheels turning (turning all night) Big light burning (burning so bright) Downright foolish but that's alright It's only forty miles to Saturday night.

as darkness craves the mind we come undone without our pride no time on earth to come all the pleasures just begun

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds It's the chance I've gotta take

Prologue: In the constellation of Cygnus, there lurks a mysterious, invisible force: the black hole of Cygnus X-1....
Six Stars of the Northern Cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the night...
1. Invisible to telescopic eye Infinity, the star that would not die
All who dare to cross her course Are swallowed by her fearsome force
Through the void To be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized...at the core? Or through the Astral Door? To soar...
2. I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the "Rocinante" Wheeling through the galaxies, Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery
The x-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the black hole Gains control...
3. Spinning, whirling, Still descending Like a spiral sea, Unending...
Sound and fury Drown my heart Every nerve Is torn apart...
To be continued...

When he knocked on my door and entered the room My trembling subsided in his sure embreace He would be my first man and with a careful hand He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
On the second day I brought her a flower She was more beautiful then any woman I had seen I said do you know where the wild roses grow? So Sweet and scarlet and free?

"Lost in the sky Clouds roll by and I roll with them Arrows fly Seas increase and then fall again
This world is spinning around me This world is spinning without me Every day send future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Watch the sparrow falling Gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one And then my only father's son As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me The whole world keeps spinning around me All life is future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is set it right
Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again
This world is spinning inside me The whole world is spinning inside of me Every day sends future to past Every step brings me closer to my last
Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done"

You know he got the cure You know he went astray He used to stay awake To drive the dreams he had away He wanted to believe In the hands of love
His head it felt heavy As he cut across the land A dog started crying Like a broken hearted man At the howling wing At the howling wind
He went deeper into black Deeper into white Could see the stars shining Like nails in the night He felt the healing Healing, healing Healing hands of love Like the stars shiny shiny From above
Hand in the pocket Finger on the steel The pistol weighed heavy His heart he could feel Was beating, beating Beating, beating oh my love Oh my love, oh my love Oh my love
My love

Now here's a little story I've got to tell About three bad brothers you know so well It started way back in history With Adrock, M. C. A. , and me - Mike D. Been had a little horsy named Paul Revere Just me and my horsy and a quart of beer Riding across the land, kicking up sand Sheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand One lonely Beastie I be All by myself without nobody The sun is beating down on my baseball hat The air is gettin' hot the beer is getting flat Lookin' for a girl I ran into a guy His name is M. C. A. , I said, "Howdy" he said, "Hi"
He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst The brew was in my hand and he was on my tip His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry he asked me for a sip He said, "Can I get some?" I said, "You can't get none!" Had a chance to run He pulled out his shotgun He was quick on the draw I thought I'd be dead He put the gun to my head and this is what he said,
"Now my name is M. C. A. I've got a license to kill I think you know what time it is it's time to get ill Now what do we have here an outlaw and his beer I run this land, you understand I make myself clear. " We stepped into the wind he had a gun, I had a grin You think this story's over but it's ready to begin
"Now I got the gun you got the brew You got two choices of what you can do It's not a tough decision as you can see I can blow you away or you can ride with me" I said, I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter I did it like this, I did it like that I did it with a whiffleball bat So I'm on the run the cop's got my gun And right about now it's time to have some fun The King Adrock that is my name And I know the fly spot where they got the champagne. " We rode for six hours then we hit the spot The beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot This dude was staring like he knows who we are We took the empty spot next to him at the bar M. C. A. said, "Yo, you know this kid?" I said, "I didn't. " but I know he did The kid said, "Get ready cause this ain't funny My name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money. " Pulled out the jammy aimed it at the sky He yelled, "Stick 'em up!" and let two fly Hands went up and people hit the floor He wasted two kids that ran for the door "I'm Mike D. and I get respect Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect" M. C. A. was with it and he's my ace So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face The piano player's out the music stopped His boy had beef and he got dropped Mike D. grabbed the money M. C. A. snatched the gold I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.

We fight it out We work it out Give me some time to unwind
I must confess I'm falling apart Breaking your heart Crying with you on the phone We're walking on thin ice I hope it doesn't break

You talk of over throwing power with violence as your tool You speak of liberation and when the people rule Well ain't it people rule right now, what differnce would there be?

If it happens again I shall worry That only a strange ship could fly And my sanity scans the horizon In the light of the darkening sky.
That night as I walked in my slumber I waded into the sea strand And I swam with the moon and her lover Until I lost sight of the land
I swam till the night became morning Black sail in a reddening sky Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship So far where no grey gulls fly

Where there is no sound in the corners of space Everybody is alone When at least our feelings of love meet I can go on to tomorrow

Sing to me of the song of the stars Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again When you feel like my dreams are so far Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

The bad boys win, the good girls win, the whole world wins and loses and wins all over again. Wait long enough and your turn will come.
Nothing that is won lasts forever. No ill-gotten gain, no hard-won victory, no precious thing, no heartbreaking story. It's win and lose and win again, and then lose it all on that last fatal stake.
Closing time, fallow. "All the women tear their blouses off / and the men they dance on the polka-dots / and it's partner found, it's partner lost / and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops / It's closing time."
So what's worth bargaining for? What's worth the stink and the shit and the spin, what's worth the pain and the retching and the vainglorious stretch to the final round?
In the end we only have ourselves to face. Closing time, and when the door swings shut, it's a mirror on the side facing you, and you can see yourself all clear-like. Naked. What's it worth, love, to like what you see?
That's closing time. Make it worth the price of admission.

I got a hundred dollars smokin' in my billfold I know I oughta save it but it's burnin' a hole Right through my pocket and into my skin Come Monday morning I'll be broke again.
It's finally Friday I'm free again I got my motor running for a wild weekend It's finally Friday I'm outa' control Forget the workin' blues And let the good times roll.

Once I lived the life of a millionaire, Spendin' my money, I didn't even care. Takin' my friends out to have a good time Drinkin' bootleg liqour, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low, Didn't have a dime, had no place to go. If I ever get my hands on a dollar again, I'm gonna squeeze it 'til that eagle grins.
Nobody knows you when you're down and out, In your pocket not one penny, And your friends, what friends? Hmph. You haven't any. When you get back on your feet again, Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend. It's mighty strange, but without a doubt, Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

I woke up this morning, Texas on my mind Thinking about my friends, and a girl I left behind The way she held me when we kissed, the loving we've done And how I left her waving goodbye, standing in a Texas sun
"Texas on My Mind," by Django Walker
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
When I was young, my mama told me She said, "Child, take your time. Don't fall in love too quickly Before you know your mind."
She held me 'round the shoulders, And in a voice so soft and kind, She said, "Love can make you happy, But love can rob you blind."
Here in California, Fruit hangs heavy on the vine, But there's no gold, I thought I'd warn ya, And the hills turn brown in the summertime.
Well, I may learn to love you, But I can't say when. This morning, we were strangers, And tonight we're only friends.
I'll take my time to know you, I'll take my time to see, There's nothing that I won't show you If you take your time with me.
Here in California, Fruit hangs heavy on the vine, But there's no gold, I thought I'd warn ya, And the hills turn brown in the summertime.
It's an old familiar story, An old familiar rhyme, To every thing there is a season; To every purpose, there's a time.
A time to love and come together, A time when love longs for a name. A time for questions we can't answer, Though we ask them just the same.
Here in California, Fruit hangs heavy on the vine, But there's no gold, I thought I'd warn ya, And the hills turn brown in the summertime.

Oh you're so beautiful with an edge and a charm But so careful when I'm in your arms

Oh well, you've got me under your spell and I don't think that I'm kidding around. I don't think I can forget you now. I once sat up on my roof and examined the planning of my town. I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass and I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants. I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us rolling around down along the ground. I saw myself touch your face and I noticed jets begin to race above our heads. But I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me. I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need and I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place and how sh***y this town would seem without you in it. When you aren't around I let the shades fall down to shut out all the sun's light and make myself feel all right. What am I doing with my life? Remember that the only things we need sometimes are chilly nights and warmer thighs, 'cause there's nothing like being held.

The suckers lose themselves in the games they learn to play, and children love to sing, but then their voices slowly fade away. People always take a step away from what is true, that's why I like you around...yeah, I want you.
An open invitation to the dance, happenstance sets the vibe that we're in, no apology because my urge is genuine, and the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine. Here I am, and I want to take a hit of your scent, because it bit so deep into my soul.
The village churchyard is filled with bones weeping in the grave, a silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus couldn't save. You want to know how deeply my soul goes? Deeper than bones, deeper than bones.
So after we did it by the windowsill, with smoke rings drifting through the midnight sky, presently, in the quilt that your mother made a prayer candle burns to fight off the gloom. You say "To live this way is not for the meek" and like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep. I say they're be no regret when the worms come, as they shall surely come.
Oh you do, you make me want you.

The sky grows bigger every day And the other week I hopped on a train Cutting through state lines To come to you as the crow flies And out there in there offing everything was melon and orange Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets I just want you to know that every pool of water reminds me of you Is that all right? I hope you think it's cool 'Cause sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to Everything seemed a little easier when we weren't one hundred miles apart The person across from me sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you And I looked out past her cheeks through the glass-light conduit But the sun had sunk already Disappeared into New Jersey Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?

If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you

Daylight See the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day . . .
Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan
Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp Seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning
Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning
Touch me It's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me You'll understand what happiness is
Look A new day has begun

Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you, But still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night, You took your life, as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls, Frameless head on nameless walls, With eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met, The ragged men in the ragged clothes, The silver thorn of bloody rose, Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

I watch the Western sky The sun is sinking The geese are flying South It sets me thinking
I did not miss you much I did not suffer What did not kill me Just made me tougher
I feel the winter come His icy sinews Now in the fire light The case continues
Another night in court The same old trial The same old questions asked The same denial
The shadows closely run Like jury members I look for answers in The fire's embers
Why was I missing then That whole December I give my usual line: I don't remember
Another winter comes His icy fingers creep Into these bones of mine These memories never sleep
And all these differences A cloak I borrow We kept our distances Why should it follow I must have loved you
What is the force that binds the stars I wore this mask to hide my scars What is the power that pulls the tide I never could find a place to hide
What moves the Earth around the sun What could I do but run and run and run Afraid to love, afraid to fail A mast without a sail
The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking Another day begins and now I'm thinking That this indifference was my invention When everything I did sought your attention
You were my compass star You were my measure You were a pirate's map A buried treasure
If this was all correct The last thing I'd expect The prosecution rests It's time that I confess: I must have loved you
