The Pretender - Jackson Browne

 

I'm going to rent myself a house

In the shade of the freeway

I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning

And go to work each day

And when the evening rolls around

I'll go on home and lay my body down

And when the morning light comes streaming in

I'll get up and do it again

Amen

Say it again

Amen

 

I want to know what became of the changes

We waited for love to bring

Were they only the fitful dreams

Of some greater awakening

I've been aware of the time going by

They say in the end it's the wink of an eye

And when the morning light comes streaming in

You'll get up and do it again

Amen

 

Caught between the longing for love

And the struggle for the legal tender

Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring

And the junk man pounds his fender

Where the veterans dream of the fight

Fast asleep at the traffic light

And the children solemnly wait

For the ice cream vendor

Out into the cool of the evening

Strolls the Pretender

He knows that all his hopes and dreams

Begin and end there

 

Ah the laughter of the lovers

As they run through the night

Leaving nothing for the others

But to choose off and fight

And tear at the world with all their might

While the ships bearing their dreams

Sail out of sight

 

I'm going to find myself a girl

Who can show me what laughter means

And we'll fill in the missing colors

In each other's paint-by-number dreams

And then we'll put our dark glasses on

And we'll make love until our strength is gone

And when the morning light comes streaming in

We'll get up and do it again

Get it up again

 

I'm going to be a happy idiot

And struggle for the legal tender

Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

To the heart and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie

In those things that money can buy

Though true love could have been a contender

Are you there?

Say a prayer for the Pretender

Who started out so young and strong

Only to surrender

Do the right thing!

Melissa

 

The Allman Bros Band

 

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.

The gypsy flies from coast to coast

 

Knowing many, loving none,

Bearing sorrow havin fun,

But back home he'll always run

To sweet Melissa... mmm...

 

Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.

And no one knows the gypsys name

 

No one hears his lonely sigh,

There are no blankets where he lies.

In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies

With sweet Melissa... mmm...

 

Again the mornings come,

Again he's on the run,

Sunbeams shining through his hair,

Appearing not to have a care.

Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.

 

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)

Will you hide the dead mans ghost,

Or will he lie, beneath the clay,

Or will his spirit roll away?

 

But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

 

Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

Blue Sky

 

The Allman Bros Band

 

Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,

It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no.

Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road,

Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know

 

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.

Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,

Turn your love my way, yeah.

 

Good old Sunday morning, bells are ringing everywhere.

Goin' to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there

Happy Birtyday America!

 

Sgt Barry Sandler (or Dolly Parton) Ballad of the Green Beret

 

 

Fighting soldiers from the sky

Fearless men who jump and die

Men who mean just what they say

The brave men of the Green Beret

 

Silver wings upon their chest

These are men, America's best

One hundred men we'll test today

But only three win the Green Beret

 

Trained to live, off nature's land

Trained in combat, hand to hand

Men who fight by night and day

Courage deep from the Green Beret

 

Silver wings upon their chest

These are men, America's best

One hundred men we'll test today

But only three win the Green Beret

 

Delta Force and CIA

Marines and SOCOM clear the way

Covert missions now in play

Special OPS like the Green Beret

 

Silver wings upon their chest

These are men, America's best

One hundred men we'll test today

But only three win the Green Beret

 

While back at home a young wife waits

Her Green Beret has met his fate

He has died for those oppressed

Leaving her this last request

 

Put silver wings on my son's chest

Make him one of America's best

He'll be a man they'll test one day

So have him win the Green Beret

Have him win the Green Beret

"Chasin' The Wind"

Did the best I could, to make you mine.

If you ever felt anything for me,

well you never gave a sign.

Thought Time would make you change,

Make you want me.

But baby I never had a chance!

Now I know that there's just some things

Just not meant to be!

 

No use, making you care about me!

No way, that I'm gonna win!

Oh darling, I might as well be chasin' the wind!

Oh, I'm just chasin' the wind!

 

Opened up my heart, let you inside!

If love was what you were lookin' for,

Well I guess it wasn't mine!

So I guess I better go, it's over and done!

But you know I'm not really sad at all.

'Cause you really say it's over,

when it never had begun!

 

No use, makin' you care about me!

No way, that I'm gonna win!

Oh darling, I might as well be chasin' the wind!

Oh, I'm just chasin' the wind!

 

Can't reach the sea, if you can't get past the sand!

Can't touch the sky, if you can't reach up up your hand!

Can't give if you give nothing back!

 

No use, making you care about me!

No way, that I'm gonna win!

Oh darling, I might as well be chasin' the wind!

No use making you(making you care about me!)

No way that I'm gonna win!

Oh darling, I might as well be chasin' the wind!

Oh I'm just chasin' the wind. Oh I'm just chasin' the wind.

Chashin' the wind.

I'm a liberal's worst nightmare. A black man with a brain! :D

KMFDM-Stars & Stripes

 

 

"Stars & Stripes"

 

A tyrant is a man who allows his people no freedom

Who is puffed-up by pride

Driven by the lust of power

Impelled by greed

Provoked by thirst for fame

 

Divided and conquered

Gripped by fear

Wishful thinking that it can't happen hear

It's well underways but nobody knows

A repeat of history

That's how it goes

 

Tell the people that they're under attack

By man-eating foes from mars or iraq

Mobilize outrage

Muzzle dissent

Send in the troops

Strike the pre-empt

 

Stars & stripes

Learn how to fight

We come together by the dawn of the light

Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare

Stars & stripes

 

Control the airwaves

Fuel the reaction

Use every weapon of mass-distraction

Turn active people into passive consumers

Feed 'em bogus polls and harebrained rumours

 

Cut back civil rights

Make no mistake

Tell 'em homeland security is now at stake

Whip up a frenzy keep 'em suspended

Don't let 'em know that their liberty's ended

 

Everything goes in the desperate states

The veneer of democracy rapidly fades

Wreak total havoc on all opposition

In any event fulfill your mission

 

Totalitarian media sensation

You will give 'em domination

Never mind they call you a liar and thief

By now you're undisputed commander-in-chief

All bullshit, No Business.

Billy Joel - You're Only Human (Second Wind)

 

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good

You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood

It's alright, it's alright

Sometimes that's what it takes

You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes

You better believe there will be times in your life

When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool

So take it from me you'll learn more from your accidents

Than anything that you could ever learn at school

 

Don't forget your second wind

Sooner of later you'll get your second wind

 

It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain

You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again

It's alright, it's alright

Though you feel your heart break

You're only human, you're gonna have to deal with heartache

 

Just like a boxer in a title fight

You got to walk in that ring all alone

You're not the only one who's made mistakes

But they're the only thing that you can truly call your own

 

Don't forget your second wind

Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in

 

You've been keeping to yourself these days

Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong

Sometimes you just want to lay down and die

That emotion can be so strong

But hold on

Till that old second wind comes along

 

You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else

But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself

It's alright, it's alright

Sometimes that's all it takes

We're only human

We're supposed to make mistakes

But I survived all those long lonely days

When it seemed I did not have a friend

Cause all I needed was a little faith

So I could catch my breath and face the world again

 

Don't forget your second wind

Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in

Don't forget your second wind

Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in

I get a shiver down my spine everytime I hear this song. He wrote this after he lost his son falling out of a hotel window. How could you survive after losing your child?

 

Eric Clapton Tears in Heaven

 

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

 

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way, through night and day

Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven

 

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knee

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

Begging please

 

(instrumental)

 

Beyond the door

There's peace I'm sure.

And I know there'll be no more...

Tears in heaven

 

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

 

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

My Name is Mud

 

Primus

 

My name is mud

Not to be confused with bill or jack or pete or dennis

My name is mud and its always been

cause Im the most boring sons-a-bitch youve ever seen

I dress in blue-yes navy blue

From head to toe Im rather drab except my patent shoes

I make em shine, well most the time

cept today my feet are troddin on by this friend of mine

Six foot two and rude as hell

I got to get him in the ground before he starts to smell

My name is mud

 

My name is mud, but call me Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie

Thats long for mud so Ive been told

Told that by this sonsabitch that lies before me bloated blue and cold

I've got my pride, I drink my wine

Id drink the finest except I havent earned a dime in several months

Or were it years

The breath on that fat bastard could bring any man to tears

We had our words, a common spat

So I kissed him upside the cranium with an aluminum baseball bat

Simon & Garfunkel I am a Rock

 

A winter's day

In a deep and dark December;

I am alone,

Gazing from my window to the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

 

I've built walls,

A fortress deep and mighty,

That none may penetrate.

I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.

It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

 

Don't talk of love,

Well, I've heard the word before.

It's sleeping in my memory.

I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.

If I never loved I never would have cried.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

 

I have my books

And my poetry to protect me;

I am shielded in my armor,

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.

I touch no one and no one touches me.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

 

And a rock feels no pain;

And an island never cries.

Adam Sandler Ode to my Car

 

 

 

Here we go

 

Piece of shit car

I got a piece of shit car

That fuckin' pile of shit

Never gets me very far

 

My car's a big piece of shit

'Cause the shocks are fucking shot

And my seatbelt's fucking broken

I got to tie it in a knot

(It's a piece of shit)

 

I can't see through the windshield

'Cause it's got a big fucking' crack

And the interior smells real bad

'Cause my friend puked in the back

(It's a piece of shit)

 

(Piece of shit car)

Piece of shit car

(He's got a piece of shit car)

It sucks royal dick

(That fuckin' pile of shit)

100% crap

(Never gets him very far)

Oh fuck you car

 

It's got no CD player, it only got the 8-track

Whoever designed my car can lick my sweaty nut sack

(They can bite his ass too)

And I got no fuckin' brakes

I'm always way out of control

Eleven times a day I hear "Hey, watch it asshole"

(You fuckin' piece of shit)

 

(Piece of shit car)

I got piece of shit car

(He got a piece of shit car)

Diesel gas sucks my ass

(That fuckin' pile of shit)

That pile of metal shit

(Never gets him very far)

 

Oh what the fuck did I do

What the fuck did I do

What the fuck did I do

To get stuck with you

You're too wide for drive-thru

And you smell like the shoe

But I'm too broke to buy something new

Oh fuck me

 

Well the engine likes to flood

The car always fuckin' stalls

And the seat cushion's got a big rip

So a spring always pokes the balls

(Ouch, ouch, ouch)

Plus the door locks are busted

I gotta use a fucking coat hanger

(What a pain in his ass)

And if a girlie sees my car

There's no chance I'll ever bang her

(He never ever gets da pussy)

Hey shut up

(Piece of shit car)

You piece of shit car

 

(You got a piece of shit car)

You piece of shit car

(Piece of shit car)

Bald fuckin' tires

(You got a piece of shit car)

No rearview fucking mirror

(Piece of shit car)

Seven different colors

(You got a piece of shit car)

Fucking rag for a gas cap

(Piece of shit car)

Tailpipe makes the sparks fly everywhere

(You got a piece of shit car)

(Piece of shit car)

(You got a piece of shit car)

(Piece of shit car)

Oh the whole town thinks I'm a loser

(You got a piece of shit car)

Cabby give me a push

(Piece of shit car...)

First off, let me just say- I hate Primus. Almost as much as I hate Alice in Chains. Like nails on chalkboard.

 

Pink Floyd~Brain Damage/Eclipse

 

The lunatic is on the grass.

The lunatic is on the grass.

Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.

Got to keep the loonies on the path.

 

The lunatic is in the hall.

The lunatics are in my hall.

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day the paper boy brings more.

 

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon

And if there is no room upon the hill

And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

 

The lunatic is in my head.

The lunatic is in my head

You raise the blade, you make the change

You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.

You lock the door

And throw away the key

There's someone in my head but it's not me.

 

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear

You shout and no one seems to hear.

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

 

"I can't think of anything to say except...

I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"

 

All that you touch

All that you see

All that you taste

All you feel.

All that you love

All that you hate

All you distrust

All you save.

All that you give

All that you deal

All that you buy,

beg, borrow or steal.

All you create

All you destroy

All that you do

All that you say.

All that you eat

And everyone you meet

All that you slight

And everyone you fight.

All that is now

All that is gone

All that's to come

and everything under the sun is in tune

but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

 

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

Isn't Pink Floyd just grand??

As for AIC~I'm sorry to hear that....I don't think it would be half as bad if it weren't for Layne Staley. I can't stand the sound of his voice. The music isn't half bad, but that voice.....makes me cringe. It's a constant battle in my house-Bob's three favorite bands are Primus, AIC, and Mushroomhead. All of which make me want to jump off the roof of a very tall building.

If your gonna put out a Pink Floyd song you might as well put out thier best one. This song has some killer sax in it!

 

Pink Floyd Money

 

 

Money, get away

Get a good job with more pay and your O.K.

Money it's a gas

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car, caviar, four star daydream,

Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back

I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.

Money it's a hit

Don't give me that do goody good bullshit

I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set

And I think I need a Lear jet

Money it's a crime

Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie

Money so they say

Is the root of all evil today

But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're

giving none away

 

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"

"Yes, absolutely in the right!"

"I certainly was in the right!"

"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"

"Yeah!"

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"

"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking

why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and

screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.

It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

I'm sure this is before the kiddies in our pool but does anybody remember Fleetwood Mac before Stevie Nicks(my first crush) and Christie McVie?

 

 

Fleetwood Mac Blood on the Floor (Kilin House)

 

Well goodbye world

It's sad but true

Got a date with the hangman

I have to leave you

I shot my Darlin'

Three times of more

The reason I'm goin'

Is blood on the floor

 

The nights are so lonely

The days are so long

I'm in the jailhouse

Cause they say I've done wrong

I don't say I'm sorry

I just say I'm sore

The reason I'm goin'

Is blood on the floor (blood on the floor)

 

Well I came home one night

She were lyin',

With her legs around

Another mans bod

She saw me, stared laughin'

But she cried, when she saw my gun

 

Goodbye world

I guess we must part

They're taking my life

Cause I shot my sweetheart

I don't say I'm sorry

I just say I'm sore

The reason I'm goin'

Is blood on the floor

Oh the reason I'm goin'

Is blood on the floor

Oh the reason I'm goin'

Is the blood on the floor

War with Eric Burdon Spill the Wine

 

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day

When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest

in a big field of tall grass

I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

 

And I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie

This really blew my mind, the fact that me,

an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome

should be the star of a Hollywood movie

 

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings

I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world

In front of every kind of girl, there was

black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

 

Out of the middle came a lady

She whispered in my ear something crazy

She said:

 

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

 

[spoken:]

 

I thought to myself what could that mean

Am I going crazy or is this just a dream

Now, wait a minute

I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere

so it's all in my head

and then.. I heard her say one more time:

 

[sung:]

 

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

 

[spoken:]

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back

As she disappeared, but soon she returned

In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass

She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass

And raised it to her lips

And just before she drank it, she said:

 

[sung:]

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Billy Vera and the Beaters At This Moment

 

 

 

What did you think

I would at this moment?

When you're standing before me

With tears in your eyes?

Trying to tell me that you -

You found you another,

And you just don't love me no more.

 

What did you think

I would say at this moment?

When I'm faced with the knowledge

That you just don't love me?

Did you think I would curse you

Or say things to hurt you

'Cause you just don't love me no more?

 

Did you think I could hate you,

Or raise my hands to you?

Now, come on you know me too well.

How I could I hurt you,

When, darlin', I love you?

And you know, I could never hurt you, ooh, ohh, ooh.

 

What did you think

I would give at this moment?

If you'd stay I'd subtract

Twenty years from my life.

I'd fall down on my knees,

Kiss the ground that you walk on

If I could just hold you again.

 

I'd fall down on my knees

Kiss the ground that you walk on, baby

If I could just hold you -

 

If I could just hold you -

If I, if I could just hold you

Again.

Cat Stevens Father and Son

 

 

Father

It's not time to make a change,

Just relax, take it easy.

You're still young, that's your fault,

There's so much you have to know.

Find a girl, settle down,

If you want you can marry.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

 

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,

To be calm when you've found something going on.

But take your time, think a lot,

Why, think of everything you've got.

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

 

Son

How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.

It's always been the same, same old story.

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.

 

Father

It's not time to make a change,

Just sit down, take it slowly.

You're still young, that's your fault,

There's so much you have to go through.

Find a girl, settle down,

if you want you can marry.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to

Make this decision alone - no)

Son

All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,

It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.

If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.

(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and

make this decision alone?)

Maybe I should've picked this song though.

 

 

Cat Stevens Moon Shadow

 

 

I'm being followed by a moon shadow

moon shadow-moon shadow

leaping and hopping on a moon shadow

moon shadow-moon shadow

and if I ever lose my hands

lose my plough, lose my land

oh, if I ever lose my hands

oh, if...

I won

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

 

On a morning from a Bogart movie

In a country where they turn back time

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre

Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running

Like a watercolor in the rain

Don't bother asking for explanations

She'll just tell you that she came

In the year of the cat

 

She doesn't give you time for questions

As she locks up your arm in hers

And you follow 'till your sense of which direction

Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls

There's a hidden door she leads you to

These days, she says, I feel my life

Just like a river running through

The year of the cat

 

She looks at you so coolly

And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea

She comes in incense and patchouli

So you take her, to find what's waiting inside

The year of the cat

 

 

Well morning comes and you're still with her

And the bus and the tourists are gone

And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket

So you have to stay on

But the drumbeat strains of the night remain

In the rhythm of the new-born day

You know sometime you're bound to leave her

But for now you're going to stay

In the year of the cat

Do the right thing!
