A Dedicated Thread

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

For all those BAD and their DREAMS!

[Mithyaat Vam]

for he who requires the dreaming....


Oh dreamboat my sugarloaf
I can tell by your smile
Oh baby I can be one hell of a port of call
If you would drop your anchor and stay for a while
And yes, I want to smother my bad ass lover
Till we are dancin in the skies
There's nothing like hustle and muscle and
Babe I've got eyes - Oh babe
I got eyes

No tugboat around my head
You could ever be
In songs like this were words & chords collide instead
A corny turn of phrase with sincerity and yes
I want to smother my bad ass lover
With long wet kisses to make him wise
An offer you couldn't refuse
And babe I got eyes - Oh babe
I got eyes

The eyes have always made it clear
That love begins and ends
Without a sense of fashion
No code of etiquette is here
Only a friendly drive toward impolite passion

Oh - know what I'm talking about
know what I'm talking about

My old pal my carnivale
We have just begun - when morning comes
We'll linger then begin again
And you will not believe how smart you've become and yes
I want to smother my bad ass lover
With long wet kisses to make him wise
An offer he couldn't refuse and
Babe I got eyes
Whoa babe I got eyes
oh babe I got eyes
oh babe I got eyes

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

Dedicated to the Goddess of my dreams:

Lady

I'm crazy for this little lady
I'm freaking for my little baby
'Cause she makes me feel good
She's so fine
Don't need all my other ladies
I'm beggin' for this little lady
'Cause I tell you she's cool
She's divine
I know she's a super lady

I'm weak and I've gone hazy
I'm crazy for that lady
She's chic but she's not shady
Sophisticated lady
And she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Never knew there was such a lady
That would make me want to straighten
Out my life at this time but I find
I'm thinkin' 'bout this PRETTY lady
I would love for her to have my baby
'Cause you know she's no fool
She's refined
I know she's a super lady

I'm weak and I've gone hazy
I'm crazy for that lady
She's chic but she's not shady
Sophisticated lady
And she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Yeah
Don't you know she blows my mind
All the time
'Cause she makes me feel good
Like a real woman should
Yeah
She's all mine
Yeah

I'm weak and I've gone hazy
I'm crazy for that lady
She's chic but she's not shady
Sophisticated lady
And she makes me feel good
And she makes me feel good
And she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Yeah
Don't you know she blows my mind
All the time
'Cause she makes me feel good
Like real woman should
Yeah
All the time

To Esmer:

I'm Don Juan's reckless daughter
I came out two days on your tail
Those two bald-headed days in November
Before the first snowflakes sail
Out on the vast and subtle plains of mystery
A split tongue spirit talks
Noble as a nickel chief
Striking up an old juke box
And he says:
"Snakes along the railroad tracks."
He says, "Eagles in jet trails ..."
He says, "Coils around feathers and talons on scales ...
Gravel under the belly plates ..."
He says, "Wind in the Wings ..."
He says, "Big bird dragging its tail in the dust ...
Snake kite flying on a string."

I come from open prairie
Given some wisdom and a lot of jive!
Last night the ghosts of my old ideas
Reran on channel five
And it howled so spooky for its eagle soul
I nearly broke down and cried
But the split tongue spirit laughed at me
He says, "Your serpent cannot be denied."
Our serpents love the whisky bars
They love the romance of the crime
But didn't I see a neon sign
Fester on your hotel blind
And a country road come off the wall
And swoop down at the crowd at the bar
And put me at the top of your danger list
Just for being so much like you are!

You're a coward against the altitude--
You're a coward against the flesh--
Coward--caught between yes and no
Reckless this time on the line for yes, yes, yes!
Reckless brazen in the play
Of your changing traffic lights
Coward--slinking down the hall
to another restless night
As we center behind the eight ball
As we rock between the sheets
As we siphon the colored language
Off the farms and the streets
Here in Good-Old-God-Save-America
the home of the brave and the free
We are all hopelessly oppressed cowards
Of some duality
Of restless multiplicity
(Oh say can you see)

Restless for streets and honky tonks
Restless for home and routine
Restless for country-safety-and her
Restless for the likes of reckless me
Restless sweeps like fire and rain
Over virgin wilderness
It prowls like hookers and thieves
Through bolt locked tenements
Behind my bolt locked door
The eagle and the serpent are at war in me
The serpent fighting for blind desire
The eagle for clarity
What strange prizes these battles bring
These hectic joys-these weary blues
Puffed up and strutting when I think I win
Down and shaken when I think I lose
There are rivets up here in this eagle
There are box cars down there on your snake
And we are twins of spirit
No matter which route home we take
Or what we forsake
We're going to come up to the eyes of clarity
And we'll go down to the beads of guile
There is danger and education
In living out such a reckless life style
I touched you on the central plains
It was plane to train my twin
It was just plane shadow to train shadow
But to me it was skin to skin
The spirit talks in spectrums
He talks to mother earth to father sky
Self indulgence to self denial
Man to woman
Scales to feathers
You and I
Eagles in the sky
You and I
Snakes in the grass
You and I
Crawl and fly
You and I

for whenever you get tah feelin sad:

Steve Winwood


When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Dont stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door, I'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll come and then slip away, youve gotta move, bring it back to stay

You just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, roll with it, baby, hang on and just roll with it, baby

The way that you love is good as money
I swear by stars above, sweet as honey
People think youre down and out, you show them what its all about
You can make it, roll with it, baby
When this world turns its back on you, hang in and do that sweet thing you do

You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby, you and me, just roll with it, baby

Now there'll be a day you'll get there, baby, you'll hear the music play, you'll dance, baby
You'll leave bad times way behind, nothing but good times on your mind
You can do it, roll with it, baby
Then youll see life will be so nice, its just a step up to paradise
You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby

For everyone with girl troubles, who WANT girl troubles.

"Diggin' Your Scene"

Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain.
The girl is totally insane,
She doesn't know the meaning of tame,
Still I can't put out the flame.

Hey hey, I wanna play on the team that you despise.
Every day a new disguise,
Every night a Halloween,
She says keep the motor runnin' man
Like I was some machine.
You can talk, talk but I'm keepin' her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing

Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene

On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
Voodoo and sorcery too I can't shake your freaky spell

Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene

Can anybody tell me why we're Springer bound
Why we feel so up when we're kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole, on a life sentence

--I'm still digging your scene--

My friends tell me I should run
They say they think she's got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on, Right on, Right on.

Hey hey I wanna play for the team that you despise

Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene
Don't change, I love that your deranged,
You've got me self contained,
I'm so diggin' your scene,
I said "Your playin' with my head"
I could split instead,
I'm so diggin' your scene.

New day rising.

[lucimay]

for the one who has seen me changing...


He has seen me changing
It ain't easy rearranging
And it gets harder as you get older
Farther away as you get closer

And I don't know the answer
Does it even matter?
I'm wonderin' how

Ten years singing right out loud
I never looked was anybody listening
Then I fell out of a cloud
I hit the ground and noticed something missing

Now I have someone
Hehas seen me changing
And it gets harder as you get older
And farther away as you get closer

And I don't know the answer
Does it even matter?
I'm wonderin' how

Seems like something out of a dream
I had years ago yes, I remember screaming
Nobody laughing all the good times
Getting harder to come by without weeping

Now I have someone
He has seen me changing
And it gets harder as you get older
And farther away


thank you for being there.

[Mithyaat Vam]

for Anomandar Rake

The dark side's callin' now
Nothin' is real
He'll never know just how I feel
From out of the shadows
He walks like a dream
Make me feel crazy
Make me feel so mean
Nothins gonna save you
From a love that blind
When you slip to the dark side
You cross that line
On the dark side, oh yeah
On the dark side, oh yeah

[Mithyaat Vam]

my lord husband

The day is done, the blinds are drawn
The sound of afternoon is gone
The corner store has locked it’s door
And everyone has left for home
When their sleepy little heads
Settle snug inside their beds
You and I will stay and watch the sun fade away

The balladeer, the buccaneer
The liar, the man who would be king
The cavalier, the profiteer
The one who knows only suffering
As the cannons gather rust,
All their castles turn to dust
You and I will stay and see them fade away

We are on an endless flight my friend
With no beginning and no end
I’ve forgotten more than I remember
Sometimes I want to hide myself away
But I know there’s no escape
We must go on, go on forever

The sea will rise, mountains fall
The earth will turn itself upside down
But we have seen it all before,
We will always be around
In a hundred million years
When the planet disappears
You and I will stay
And watch the world fade away
And in a million trillion years
When the stars all disappear
You and I will stay
And watch it all fade away

[Seareach]

Seasis...twinnus sisterus...for you :

I'm getting bored
Being part of mankind
There's not a lot to do no more
This race is a waste of time

People rushing everywhere
Swarming around like flies
Think I'll buy a forty four
Give them all a surprise

Think I'm gonna kill myself
Cause a little suicide
Stick around for a couple of days
What a scandal if I died

Yeah I'm gonna kill myself
Get a little headline news
I'd like to see what the papers say
On the state of teenage blues

A rift in my family
I can't use the car
I gotta be in by ten o'clock
Who do they think they are

I'd make an exception
If you want to save my life
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
And see me every night

[Mithyaat Vam]

for brother love bhakti (did i spell that right?)

Mighty Love

(tho i prefer the todd rundgren version on A Capella)

Once there was a boy and girl
Boys said, "I love you so"
Girl said, "I'll never leave you"
They grew older and left each other
'Cause that's the way love goes
That's the way love goes

Then there's a time
Seems like you'll never find
Someone willing to love you
Keep on lookin', you'll soon discover

A mighty love
Will sometimes makes you weep and moan
A mighty love
You sit all day by the telephone
Cause you're all alone
You need a mighty love, eh, hey

Some say that you're sure to find
True love and peace of mind
At the end of a rainbow
There's no sign in the sky to follow
'Cause that's the way love goes
Baby, that's the way love goes

And so there's a rhyme
That says life will soon be fine
Love is just what you make it
So keep on lovin, you'll soon discover

A mighty love
Will sometimes make a-a weak man strong
A mighty love
Will sometimes make a-a rich man weak
And knock him off his feet
You'll have a mighty love
Mighty, mighty, mighty
Mighty, mighty, mighty love Jones
Comin' down on me, baby, yeah

Hey, hey (Mighty love)
I can feel the world gettin' brighter
Brighter with your lovin'
(Mighty love) You see, baby
With a mighty love you can sometimes turn the world around
(Mighty love) From all your love
You can, you can turn the world around
Sometimes, yes, you can, oh
(Mighty love) Oh, baby
Makes music have a happy, ha-ha-happy sigh
(Mighty love) Makes you move, makes you groove
You get the feelin' that is reelin', come on
(Mighty love) Oh...high, high, high
I'm gon', gon', gon', gon', gon' get your lovin'
(Mighty love) Oh, baby, oh, ho, ho, got your love
(Mighty love) Got your love, got your lovin', oh
I got your love here with you
(Mighty love) You got the love, hey, baby
(Mighty love) I-I knew when I first met you
That you had a mighty love, baby
(Mighty love) I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
Gonna wait on you, baby, just give me
(Mighty love) Give, give, give, give, give, give, give me your love
(Mighty love) Mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty
(Mighty love) Hey, can I say it, can, can I say it
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la baby
(Mighty love) Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, baby
(Mighty love) Time, Just a little more time, baby, woo
(Mighty love) Woo...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...
(Mighty love) Hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...
(Mighty love) Hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...
Feel, feel, feel, feel, feel me, baby, yeah
(Mighty love) So when I'm down and out I know you're
(Mighty love) You got, you got it, baby, oh, Lord
(Mighty love) Sho' 'nuff can make a love Jones come on down me
(Mighty love)

sharing this with Holsety...

Im from New Jersey.
I don't expect too much.
If the world ended today, I would adjust.

I'm from New Jersey, no I don't talk that way
I watched too much TV when I was young

I'm from New Jersey. My mom's Italian.
We've read those mafia books, we don't belong.

There are girls from New Jersey who have great big hair
They're found in shopping malls, I will take you there

Im from New Jersey. It's not like Texas.
There is no mystery, I can't pretend.

I'm from New Jersey, it's like Ohio,
But even more so. Imagine that.

I know which exit, and where I'm bound,
Tolls on the Parkway they will slow you down.

New Jersey people, they will surprise you,
Cause they're not expected to do too much.

They will try harder, they may go further,
They never think that they are good enough.

I'm from New Jersey, I don't expect too much.
If the world ended today I would adjust.

I would adjust
I would adjust
I would adjust.

• Take This Job and Shove It

• Take this job and shove it
  I ain't working here no more
  My woman done left and took all the reasons
  I was working for
  You better not try to stand in my way
  As im a walking out the door.
  Take this job and shove it
  I ain't working here no more
  
  Ive been workin in this factory
  From now on fifteen years
  All this time I watched my woman
  Drowning in a pool of tears
  And Ive seen a lot of good folk die
  Who had a lot of bills to pay
  I'd give the shirt right off of my back
  If I had the nerve to say
  
  Take this job and shove it
  I ain't working here no more
  My woman done left and took all the reasons
  I was working for
  You better not try to stand in my way
  As im a walking out the door.
  Take this job and shove it
  I ain't working here no more
  
  Well that foreman, hes a regular dog
  The line boss, hes a fool
  Got a brand new flat-top haircut
  Lord, he thinks hes cool
  One of these days, Im gonna blow my top
  And that sucker, hes gonna pay
  Lord I cant wait to see their faces
  When I get up the nerve to say
  
  Take this job and shove it
  I ain't working here no more
  My woman done left and took all the reasons
  I was working for
  You better not try to stand in my way
  As im a walking out the door.
  Take this job and shove it
  I ain't working here no more

FOR MY BEST BUD!

[Ki]

For malik and my sweet boys

Time Stand Still
Rush

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before I start off again
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
Id like to pause,
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim --
Who learns to transcend --
Learns to live
As if each step was the end

Time stand still --
Im not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away...

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes,
Let my defences down --
All those wounds
That I cant get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause --
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground --
I can wait until the tide
Comes around

Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips away...

Summers going fast --
Nights growing colder
Children growing up --
Old friends growing older
Experience slips away...
