one song

[Elixir Sue]

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darlin' the smiles returning to their faces

Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darlin' I feel that ice is slowly meltin'

Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been clear

Here come the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Here come the sun, here comes the sun

It's all right, it's all right

Why don't we do it in the road

Why don't we do it in the road

Why don't we do it in the road

Why don't we do it in the road

Why don't we do it in the road

People will be watching us

Why don't we do it in the road

Why don't we do it in the road

Hey do you think we could have done that better

[Gamecocks]

If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down

Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to miss it less than I do now

Think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while

Till I can get this demon out

 

You know the bottle ain't to blame and I ain't trying to

It don't make you do a thing it just lets you

When I'm six feet underground, I'll need a drink or two

And I'll sure miss you

 

Take me piece by piece till there ain't nothing left worth taking away from me

 

The highway's humming in my head and it's hard to hear

Won't you read my lips if I pull you near enough

Could you read my fortune in the bottem of this coffee cup

Tell me how to tell when I've had enough

 

If morning's a bitch with open arms and night's a girl who's gone to far

Whiskey is harder to keep than a woman and it's half as sweet but

Women without whiskey, Women without whiskey

Whiskey is hard to beat

Whiskey is hard to beat

You look across the table with those guilty eyes

So many mornings now I shouldn't be surprised

When you lash out at me and you scream out in the night

What could you have done to get in such an awful fright

Is it all that bad that you think I shouldn't see

Well who you gonna talk to if you can't tell me

 

(chorus)

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you stash the loot

Just keep your hands where I can see them

So I don't have to shoot

There's a smoking pistol at your side

But you swear it's not the one

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you get the gun

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you get the gun

 

When cornered you complain about the state of your career

And you look intently straight ahead pretending I'm not here

And you look me in the eye and tell me it's not about us

Then you tell me I'm so silly to be making such a fuss

So everything's OK but your nervous as a cat

What's that say about me that you think I'd fall for that

 

(chorus)

 

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you ditch the gun

Keep your hands where I can see 'em

Make no attempt to run

 

You used to always throw me off the trail

I guess those days are through

Where'd you hide the body

What's consuming you

Where'd you hide the body

What's consuming you

[M. (hristine]

Cannot get enough of this album.

 

The most tender place in my heart

Is for strangers

I know it's unkind

But my own blood is much too dangerous

Hanging round the ceiling half the time

Hanging round the ceiling half the time

 

Compared to some I've been around

But I really tried so hard

That echo chorus like the beat

With it's hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

 

In the end I was the mean girl

Or somebody's in-between girl

Now it's the devil I love

And it's as funny as real love

 

I leave the party at three AM

Alone thank God

With a valium from the bride

It's the devil I love

It's the devil I love

And it's as funny as real love

And that's as real as true love

 

That echo chorus like the beat

With it's hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

That echo chorus like the beat

With it's hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

[tkleist]

she said to me, over the phone

she wanted to see other people

i thought, "well then, look around, they're everywhere"

said that she was confused...

i thought, "darling, join the club"

24 years old, mid-life crisis

nowadays hits you when you're young

i hung up, she called back, i hung up again

the process had already started

at least it happened quick

i swear, i died inside that night

my friend, he called

i didn't mention a thing

the last thing he said was, "be sound"

sound...

i contemplated an awful thing, i hate to admit

i just thought those would be such appropriate last words

but i'm still here

and small

so small.. how could this struggle seem so big?

so big...

while the palms in the breeze still blow green

and the waves in the sea still absolute blue

but the horror

every single thing i see is a reminder of her

never thought i'd curse the day i met her

and since she's gone and wouldn't hear

who would care? what good would that do?

but i'm still here

so i imagine in a month...or 12

i'l be somewhere having a drink

laughing at a stupid joke

or just another stupid thing

and i can see myself stopping short

drifting out of the present

sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep

and there i am, standing

wet grass and white headstones all in rows

and in the distance there's one, off on its own

so i stop, kneel

my new home...

and i picture a sober awakening, a re-entry into this little bar scene

sip my drink til the ice hits my lip

order another round

and that's it for now

sorry

never been too good at happy endings...

Here's one of my favorites from my favorite 90's punk band. Any guesses?

 

 

 

A '63, 10,000 miles.

What was I thinking?

I drove myself insane.

No small getaway.

Asleep with both hands on the wheel.

White knuckle weekend.

Chewing ephedrine.

Going to an unnamed end.

Unending...

 

We met in rain, you asked me in.

Seemed like a good sign.

Now I need a guillotine

to get you off my mind.

I brush my teeth until they break.

Until I start bleeding.

So when I smile I'll know

I'm almost good enough for you.

And would you...

 

Follow me to the end of the dare.

Raise your eyes, return the stare.

Become your words. Your words so becoming.

On any Sunday I'll be there.

 

I tried to drink you off my mind.

I just got wasted.

It only made the pain

that much more acute.

But cute isn't strong enough a word.

Unintentionally gorgeous.

An accidental charm.

A graceful drinking arm.

Disarming...

 

Follow me to the end of the dare.

Raise your eyes, return the stare.

Become your words. Your words so becoming.

On any Sunday I'll be there.

[awatt]

Spent my days with a woman unkind,

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.

Made up my mind to make a new start,

Going to california with an aching in my heart.

Someone told me theres a girl out there

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,

Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

The sea was red and the sky was grey,

Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake

As the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;

I think I might be sinking.

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

Ill meet you up there where the path

Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king;

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.

La la la la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born.

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,

Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

[tongue-tied]

she's in the kitchen crying by the oven, it seems she really loved him, and he's so drunk he's passed out in a datsun, that's parked out in the hot sun in the saddest vacant lot in all the world.

 

boldly going where he rarely knows, but he'll miss her when he goes, what a shame as she drifts out of reach, while he's still drunk asleep in the saddest vacant lot in all the world.

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

Alone in the pale moonlight

Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler

Said that he'd return tonight

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

Loving the whole night through

'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing

And bring it on back to you.

 

Evangeline, Evangeline

Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen

That pulled her man away.

 

Bayou Sam, from the South Lousianne

Had gambling in his veins

Evangeline, from the Maritimes

Was slowly going insane.

 

Evangeline, Evangeline

Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen

That pulled her man away.

 

High on the top of Hickory Hill

She stands in the lightning and thunder

Down on the river the boat was a-sinking

She watched that queen go under

 

Evangeline, Evangeline

Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen

That pulled her man away.

Let me go I'm only letting you down

I've got nothing to say to you now

I lose the feelings that are weighing me down

When I'm safe

 

It's turning morning, all the birds sing

I'm not complicating anything

I'll have another then I'll go to bed

But I'll dream of you

 

Cause it's almost over

And it's almost gone

 

And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming

Sweet confusion, honey

Sweet illusion coming down

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

 

You and I used to shine like a jewel

But times been nothing to us but cruel

So play it out and never played the fool

Cause you'll lose every time

 

We were nothing, we were only the past

Hard times like that don't last

I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed

By my heart

Have you?

 

Cause it's almost over

Yeah it's almost gone

 

And I can feel the sweet illusion coming

Sweet confusion, honey

Sweet illusion coming down

And I ain't got nothing but love for you

 

Love for you I can't use

And lonely nights multiplied by the blues

That I can't resolve

 

You never knew me but I did my best

I'm just lonely inside I guess

You gave me everything you really tried

Thanks....

 

If we were nothing and we're only the past

Then I'm just living in a dream I guess

A long black dream that takes me down the river to you

 

Where it's almost over

And we're almost gone

 

And I can feel the sweet illusion coming

Sweet confusion, honey

Sweet illusion coming down

 

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now.

[Analogman]

Now your sitting on a Paris train laughing at your own jokes again

Sun splits the trees into beautiful broken light

Never cry more tears than you could hold in your hands

When all the world's airbrushed it's a sacred bond of trust

Sometimes, sometimes I see right through the scenery

The first place that's on my mind the last place I find each time

Sometimes, I swim beyond the scenery

The last place that's on my mind

The first place I find each time

 

Now I'm sitting on a Paris train molten ash falls like rain

Fire burns the trees it's a beautiful fatality

Love the way you stand your ground sea moves as mercury

To break its perfect skin to dare to dive within

 

Sometimes, sometimes I see much more than is good for me

The first thing that's on my mind the last place I'd look each time

Sometimes, I slip inside the imagery and

The last thing that's on my mind's

The first thing I'll do each time

 

Stars racing to burn out

Just stars racing to burn out

A storm waiting to break

Like trees standing black against the sky

This was inevitable, inevitable

Sometimes, sometimes we can see beyond our history

The last place you hope to find the one that's been there all the time

Sometimes, sometimes we can swim beyond the scenery

And the first place that's on your mind

The first place you'd find each time

[Fritz]

Well I wish was in London

Or some other seaport town

Step my foot in a steamboat

And sail the ocean round

 

Sailing round the ocean

Sailing round the sea

I'd think of Handsome Molly

Wherever she may be

 

I saw her at church last Sunday

She passed me on by

I knew her mind was changing

By the roving of her eye

 

Her hair as black as a Raven's

Her eyes were black as coal

Her teeth shown like lilies

Out in the morning cold

 

Now do you remember Molly

When you give me your right hand

Said if you ever married

I'd be your man

 

Now you've broke your promise

Go marry whom you please

My heart is broken

'Til I get some ease

[Elixir Sue]

I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole

You held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold

Oh what a contrast you were

To the brutes in the halls

My timid young fingers held a decent animal.

 

Over the ramparts you tossed

The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers

Tied to a brick

Sweet as a song

The years have been short but the days were long.

 

Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass

We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed

When our kite lines first crossed

We tied them into knots

And to finally fly apart

We had to cut them off.

 

Since then it's been a book you read in reverse

So you understand less as the pages turn

Or a movie so crass

And awkardly cast

That even I could be the star.

 

I don't look back as much as a rule

And all this way before murder was cool

But your memory is here and I'd like it to stay

Warm light on a winter day.

 

Over the ramparts you tossed

The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers

Tied to a brick

Sweet as a song

The years have been short but the days go slowly by

Two loose kites falling from the sky

Drawn to the ground and an end to flight.

[M. (hristine]

one

one

one

one or two won't do

'cause I want it all

 

and I said

I said

one spoonful won't do

no, I want it all

 

and I hope

I hope

hope you know

what I'm thinking of

I want all of your love

I need all of your love

 

she said if love

if love

is a poison cup

then drink it up

cause a sip

a sip

or a spoonful won't do

won't do nothing for you

but mess you up

 

and I hope

I hope

hope you know what this means

I forgive you everything

I forgive you everything

 

 

Mmmmm Ward.

[Sid Hartha]

I stumbled out of bed

I got ready for the struggle

I smoked a cigarette

And I tightened up my gut

I said this can't be me

Must be my double

 

And I can't forget, I can't forget

I can't forget but I don't remember what

 

I'm burning up the road

I'm heading down to Phoenix

I got this old address

Of someone that I knew

was high and fine and free

Ah, you should have seen us

 

And I can't forget, I can't forget

I can't forget but I don't remember who

 

I'll be there today

With a big bouquet of cactus

I got this rig that runs on memories

And I promise, cross my heart,

They'll never catch us

But if they do, just tell them it was me

 

I loved you all my life

And that's how I want to end it

The summer's almost gone

The winter's tuning up

Yeah, the summer's gone

But a lot goes on forever

 

And I can't forget, I can't forget

I can't forget but I don't remember what

[mountain bed]

Arabian wind

The Needle's Eye is thin

The Ships of State sail on mirage

And drown in sand

 

Out in No-Man's Land

Where Allah does command

What good is spilling blood?

It will not grow a thing

 

"Taste eternity",the sword sings

Blues for Allah

In'sh'Allah

 

They lie where they fall

There's nothing more to say

The desert stars are bright tonight

Let's meet as friends

 

The Flower of Islam

The Fruit of Abraham

The thousand stories have

Come 'round to one again

 

Arabian night

Our Gods pursue their flight

What fatal flowers of darkness spring

From seeds of light

 

Bird of Paradise---fly

In white sky

Blues for Allah

In'sh'Allah

 

Let's see with our heart

These things our eyes can't see

And know the truth must still lie

Somewhere in between...

 

....Under eternity

Under eternity

Under eternity

Blue

Peace,Captain..

Peace to all

[Lammycat]

Tiptoe through the window

By the window, that is where I'll be

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

 

Oh, tiptoe from the garden

By the garden of the willow tree

And tiptoe through the tulips with me

 

Knee deep in flowers we'll stray

We'll keep the showers away

And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight

Will you pardon me?

And tiptoe through the tulips with me

[Analogman]

Stick your fingers in the eyes of night

Rip open the belly of Death

And you'll see

What is real

 

Tear down the image of youth all around

Steal the dreams fromm their minds

And you'll be

All their lies

 

CHORUS

Can it be what you're thought to believe

It's nothing more than your mind can conceive

He's out there waiting for you

The psycho is ready to kill

 

Well you're a mean one a bloody bastard son

You think its all just for fun

But there's no setting sun

 

CHORUS

One way all the time

You can seem to get it right

You never see the tunnel

Or the light

 

Spend a million just to say

You're hip

You got to find a way

To get the thrill of your life

Trip the light

Trip the light fantastic

Party and you'll die

Someday you will die

 

3:am you feel that twitch again

For a walk in the park

It's getting late

Slip through the gate

The psycho jumps out from behind

Sticks his knife in your

Throat and you die

[viatroy]

Oh baby dont it feel like heaven right now

Dont it feel like somethin from a dream

Yeah Ive never known nothing quite like this

Dont it feel like tonight might never be again

We know better than to try and pretend

Baby no one could have ever told me bout this

 

The waiting is the hardest part

Every day you see one more card

You take it on faith, you take it to the heart

The waiting is the hardest part

 

Well yeah I might have chased a couple of women around

All it ever got me was down

Then there were those that made me feel good

But never as good as I feel right now

Baby youre the only one thats ever known how

To make me wanna live like I wanna live now

 

The waiting is the hardest part

Every day you see one more ca rd

You take it on faith, you take it to the heart

The waiting is the hardest part

 

Dont let it kill you baby, dont let it get to you

Dont let em kill you baby, dont let em get to you

Ill be your breathin heart, Ill be your cryin fool

Dont let this go to far, dont let it get to you

[Guest Laminated Kat]

Temper is a package

Pulling at its bow

 

Darling disasters

Help you grow

 

Panthers build their blood to bury

Daughters leave their dads to marry

 

Hide in the weeds

The orchestra

Is proving death again

 

Temper is the warp speed of red flashes

And all the bells ringing god forbid, god forbid

 

Did I catch you in the flashes?

Did I catch you in the flashes?

 

Hide with me

In the weeds

I'm proving death

 

Alive in the weeds

The orchestra

Is proving death

[lizish]

Be Good Tanyas

[Dude]

Yeah... this right here (tell me why)

Goes out, to everyone, that has lost someone

That they truly loved (c'mon, check it out)

 

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show

I laced the track, you locked the flow

So far from hangin on the block for dough

Notorious, they got to know that

Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)

Words can't express what you mean to me

Even though you're gone, we still a team

Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)

In the future, can't wait to see

If you'll open up the gates for me

Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)

Try to black it out, but it plays again

When it's real, feelings hard to conceal

Can't imagine all the pain I feel

Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)

I know you still living your life, after death

 

Every step I take, every move I make

Every single day, every time I pray

I'll be missing you

Thinkin of the day, when you went away

What a life to take, what a bond to break

I'll be missing you

 

I miss you Big

 

It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)

Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)

Watchin us while we pray for you

Every day we pray for you

Til the day we meet again

In my heart is where I'll keep you friend

Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed

Strength I need to believe

My thoughts Big I just can't define (can't define)

Wish I coul turn back the hands of time

Us in the six, shop for new clothes and kicks

You and me taking flicks

Makin hits, stages they receive you on

Still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)

Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)

I know you still living you're life, after death

 

Somebody tell me why

One black morning

When this life is over

I know

I'll see your face

 

Every night I pray, every step I take

Every move I make, every single day

Every night I pray, every step I take

Every day that passes

Every move I make, every single day

Is a day that I get closer

To seeing you again

Every night I pray, every step I take

We miss you Big... and we won't stop

Every move I make, every single day

Cause we can't stop... that's right

Every night I pray, every step I take

Every move I make, every single day

We miss you Big

[embiggen]

The monkey sat on a pile of stones

And stared at the broken bone in his hand

And the stains of a Viennese quartet

Rang out across the land

The monkey looked up at the stars

And thought to himself

Memory is a stranger

History is for fools

And he cleaned his hands

In a pool of holy writing

Turned his back on the garden

And set out for the nearest town

Hold on hold on soldier

When you add it all up

The tears and the marrowbone

There's an ounce of gold

And an ounce of pride in each ledger

And the Germans killed the Jews

And the Jews killed the Arabs

And the Arabs killed the hostages

And that is the news

And is it any wonder

That the monkey's confused

He said Mama Mama

The President's a fool

Why do I have to keep reading

These technical manuals

And the joint chiefs of staff

And the brokers on Wall Street said

Don't make us laugh

You're a smart kid

Time is linear

Memory is a stranger

History is for fools

Man is a tool in the hands

Of the great God Almighty

And they gave him command

Of a nuclear submarine

And sent him back in search of

The Garden of Eden

[Analogman]

Tuesday afternoon

I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way

It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away

Something calls to me

The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why

Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind

It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind

So gently swaying through the fairyland of love

If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon
