"Travels in Nihilon", by XTC
You've learnt no lessons
all that time so cheaply spent
there's no youth culture
only masks they let you rent
Travels, travels in Nihilon
we've seen, no Jesus come and gone
Fashion, their vampire
drapes itself across your back
as you fall from style
it waits rebirth on its rack
Building your whimsy
hypnotising you to need
dance goes full circle
one step ahead of your greed
You've learnt no lessons
all those years to get it right
flashes of promise
burn out faster than strobe light

*probably a repeat of a post somewhere*
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
Dont accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Great song Menolly.

...uh...yeah...from one extreme to the other...
Trapped in a mine one night caved in
And everyone knows the only one’s left
Was Joe and me and Tim
When we broke through to Boris Reef
The only one’s left to tell the tale
Was Joe and me
Timothy, Timothy where on earth did you go
Timothy, Timothy god why don’t I know
Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, I’ll take a swig
And then save some for you
Timothy, Timothy Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy god what did we do
I must of blacked out just bout then
Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around to finding Timothy
Timothy, Timothy where on earth did you go
Timothy, Timothy god why don’t I know
Timothyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Yeah
Timothy
Timothy (fade)

OK...OK...
...the silence in here is deafening...
I'm out of my "cannibal" mode.
Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea,
Then watch the ripples that unfold into me,
My face spill so gently into your eyes,
Disturbing the waters of our lives.
Shread of our memories are lying on your grass;
Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past.
Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields
Letters of your mem'ries are not real.
Sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat
In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope.
The daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died.
Disturbing the waters of our lives, of our lives, of our lives, lives,
lives, lives...
Of our lives.

"I Think You Know", by Todd Rundgren
The visitors were never seen
They missed my monologue between
But I think you know
The letters came, the letters went
The last reply was never sent
But I think you know
I can't explain what's in my brain
That tells me where to go
But I think you know
For I would draw a diagram
To signify the things I am
But I think you know
And in the end it all boils down
A useless bit of running 'round
'Cause I think you know
And love I send to you my friend
But never tell you so
But I think you know
The visitors were never seen
They missed my monologue between
But I think you know
The letters came, the letters went
The last reply was never sent
But I think you know
I can't explain what's in my brain
That tells me where to go
But I think you know
For I would draw a diagram
To signify the things I am
But I think you know
And in the end it all boils down
A useless bit of running 'round
'Cause I think you know
And love I send to you my friend
But never tell you so
But I think you know
I...like the things that you hate
And you...hate the things that I like
But it hurts
Honesty's your church
But sometimes
Its better to lie
I...am the vinegar and salt
And you...are the oil that dissolves
My frustration
Honesty's limitation
But sometimes
Its better to lie
I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves my frustrations
Limitations
But sometimes...
I don't dare to ask why
And you...hate the things that I like
But it hurts
Honesty's your church
But sometimes
Its better to lie
I...am the vinegar and salt
And you...are the oil that dissolves
My frustration
Honesty's limitation
But sometimes
Its better to lie
I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves my frustrations
Limitations
But sometimes...
I don't dare to ask why
My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Cause I have got a plan
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, It's true
I saw your face
In a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you
Yes, she caught my eye
As I walked on by
She could see from my face
That I was, fucking high
And I don't think
That I'll see her again
But we shared a moment
That will last till the end
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, It's true
I saw your face
In a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, It's true
There must be an angel
With a smile on her face
When she thought up
That I should be with you
But its time to face the truth
I will never be with you
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Cause I have got a plan
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, It's true
I saw your face
In a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

You're beautiful
You're beautiful, It's true
There must be an angel

That I should be with you
But its time to face the truth
I will never be with you

"Bohemian Rhapsody", by Queen
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows...

I want love, but it's impossible.
A man like me, so irresponsible.
A man like me, is dead in places,
Other men, feel liberated.
And I can't love, shot full of holes.
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold.
Don't feel nothing, just old scars.
Toughening up around my heart.
But I want love, just a different kind.
I want love,
won't break me down, won't brick me up, won't fence me in.
I want a love, that don't mean a thing,
That's the love I want, I want love.
I want love, on my own terms.
After everything I've ever learned.
Me, I carry too much baggage.
Oh man I've seen so much traffic.
But I want love, just a different kind.
I want love,
won't break me down, won't brick me up, won't fence me in.
I want a love, that don't mean a thing,
That's the love I want, I want love.
So bring it on,
I've been bruised.
Don't give me love, that's clean and smooth.
I'm ready for the rougher stuff,
No sweet romance, I've had enough.

You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here

...sorry y'all...I'm in a Pop mood tonight...
Well I tried to make it Sunday
but I got so damned depressed
That I set my sights on Monday
and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar
but I do agree there's times
when a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
Sister golden hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I've been one poor correspondent
I've been too too hard to find
but it doesn't mean
you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle
Will you meet me in the air
will you love me just a little
just enough to show you care
Well I tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin'
I just can't make it

"The Spiderbite Song", by The Flaming Lips
When you got that spider bite on your hand
I thought we would have to break up the band
To lose your arm would surely upset your brain
The poison then could reach your heart from a vein
I was glad that it didn't destroy you
How sad that would be
Cause if it destroyed you
It would destroy me
When you had that accident in your car
That whole thing just really seemed too bizarre
Dodging holes and telephone poles through the dash
A million to one that you would survive such a crash
I was glad that it didn't destroy you
How sad that would be
Cause if it destroyed you
It would destroy me
When you fell in love, it was so sweet
So devoted, completely swept off your feet
Love is the greatest thing a heart can know
But the hole that it leaves in its absence can make you feel so low
And I was glad that it didn't destroy you
How sad that would be
Cause if it destroyed you
It would destroy me

How sad that would be
Cause if it destroyed you
It would destroy me

Silly but I like it anyway!
One hippopotami, can not get on a bus,
because one hippopotami, is two hippopotamus.
And if you have two goose, that makes one geese,
A pair of mouse is mice, a pair of moose is meese.
A paranoia is, a bunch of mental blocks
and when Ben Casey meets Kildare, that's called a paradox.
When two minks fall in love, with all their heart and soul,
you'll find the pleural of two minks is one mink stole.
Singulars and pleurals are so differant, bless my soul,
has it ever occured to you, that the pleural of half is whole?
A bunch of tooth is teeth,a group of foot is feet.
When two canarys make a pair,they call it a parakeet.
A parameceum is not a pair,
a parallelagram is just a crazy square.
Nobody knows just what a paraphanelia is.
And what is half a pair of scissors? It's a single sciz.
With someone you adore, if you should find romance,
you'll pant and pant once more,and that's a pair of pants.

Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may be somebody's mother.
All the things you said to me last night
They closed my eyes
Instead of opening my mind
Maybe talking less and doing more
Will bring us back
To where we lived before
As ginger, sweet and spicy we are both
Unable to balm, unable to choke
And even when our energy is low
We can go back
To where we lived before
They closed my eyes
Instead of opening my mind
Maybe talking less and doing more
Will bring us back
To where we lived before
As ginger, sweet and spicy we are both
Unable to balm, unable to choke
And even when our energy is low
We can go back
To where we lived before

After a very long search I've finally come up with Jay's (kevinswatch's) theme song:
I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I've got a job waiting for my graduation
Fifty thou a year -- buys a lot of beer
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
Well I'm heavenly blessed and worldly wise
I'm a peeping-tom techie with x-ray eyes
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades, I gotta wear shades

She's out of luck and out of hope and out of cigarettes.
Misunderstood with naked pictures on the internet.
Her social deviance is teasing me I know what I want.
And I'm really gonna really let her know
That I like her but I just don't care enough
To fool around with love.
Yeah by baby's pretty as a car crash
sexy as the stinger of a hornet in your arm
Just another modern swinger screaming
"Catch me if you can!" with a cigarette in hand and it's love...
It's heavy and it hurts and it's love.
She's out of blow she doesn't know why she's not feeling good
Dropped out of school and now she's movin' out to Hollywood
Her reckless decadence is taking things a little to far.
And I'm really gonna really let her know
That I like her but I just don't care enough
To fool around with love
Yeah my baby's pretty as a car crash, Subtle as a splinter
Yeah my baby's smooth as sandpaper,
Warm just like the winter screaming
"Catch me if you can!" with a cigarette in hand and it's love.
It's heavy and it hurts and it's love.
Always starin' at my shoes thinkin' of something to say
But nothin's better than what silence is sayin'
When every time I turn around she's always lookin' away
It's just the nature of the game that we're playin'.
And I think I'm tapping out.
Think I'm gonna skip the title bout...

Today I am your chariot horse
Tomorrow I'm your albatross
Suspended by the finest thread
No one could ever see
And when there's breathing in your ear
You put your faith in all you hear
But just how deep those feelings go
I have no way to know
I'll never know
If I was blind
Would you still be my eyes
Or hide everything you see
Pretending to care about me
When all the time
Youre just wishing I'd fade away
You cant bring yourself to
Say out loud the reasons why
You wont admit you realize
The promise youve been living by
Is just an empty shell
You'll come to bear it like a cross
Then start to tear it like frayed gauze
Though I'm ashamed to be afraid
I just cant help myself
Cant help myself
Buy if I was blind
Would you still be my eyes
Or hide everything you see
Pretending to care about me
When all the time
Youre just wishing I'd
faaaaaaade ahwaay
You cant bring yourself to

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind
what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We ain't got one word to say
what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
