Loud Family - Not Expecting Both Contempo and Classique

Admiring paper on my wall
How many really take the time?
There may not seem that much creative latitude
But that's the challenge of design

The curves intuitively know
Which aspects of nouveau to save
Without succumbing to the full devouring will
Of Aubrey Beardsley in his grave

I'm not expecting that I'll end up with you just because I need to
I shouldn't count on having air around me just because I breathe
I've thought about it for awhile now and I'm okay with things not being okay

I'm trying to mean that I don't care
I'm learning not to be around
I'm on my feet, I'm on the phone demanding answers
Maybe I'd better just sit down

I'm not expecting that I'll end up with you just because I need to
I shouldn't count on having air around me just because I breathe
I've thought about it for awhile now and I'm okay with things not being okay

[KimberlyCrawley]

Nice one....like it!!!!

Yes, Vertical Horizon is underrated. Matt Scannell blew me away with his talent at the show...just him and his guitar...he was wonderful...and I got to hear the song long before it was recorded. I knew it would be a good one.

Loud Family - I'm Not Really A Spring

Look at all these kids acquiring shame at such a tender age
A lifetime free of bitter days in store
Self-effacing, model social lives
Don't people ever slowly rot inside their own world anymore?
I don't pitch the case for isolation
But there's one 'okay' and then some other 'okay'
For the sake of the people you tell

Hi, I'm Silent Steve--or Chatty Charles--I'll take requests
What kind of numbers do you think i'm going to need?
Find who want to test themselves and come on like a sharpened pencil
Work inside the lines of someone's greed
I can't sit and make myself want nothing
But I won't go knocking doors to find out
How many tickets to me I can sell

They think I'm banging Anabelle and it's not going well
Stop this line of questions, I can't really say what I mean
Think I'm bragging, Anabelle, and it's not show and tell
Stop this documentary, I'm not really a spring

Making nice to girls, not knowing they'd prefer a thoughtless bastard
Widening the old discrepency
Something pulls your body, draws your lips like an electromagnet
How could I suppose it might be me?

Still, every eighteen months I wonder
Why don't we just, if we're so free to,
And what would stop us from getting right up
And have we been so easily satisfied for so long?
Except each eighteen months or so I think again
Why don't we say "thank God there's still time"--
We were just lying down, but they'll say that we fell

They think I'm banging Anabelle and it's not going well
Stop this line of questions, I can't really say what I mean
Think I'm bragging, Anabelle, and it's not show and tell
Stop this documentary, I'm not really a spring

[stonemaybe]

I'll post an amusing link later, but for now....

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
Music would play and Felina would whirl.

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;
I was in love but in vain, I could tell.

One night a wild young cowboy came in,
Wild as the West Texas wind.
Dashing and daring,
A drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina,
The girl that I loved.

So in anger I

Challenged his right for the love of this maiden.
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
I had but one chance and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
Out where the horses were tied.
I caught a good one.
It looked like it could run.
Up on its back
And away I did ride,

Just as fast as I

Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico.

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.
Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death.

I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow
A bullet may find me.
Tonight nothing's worse than this
Pain in my heart.

And at last here I

Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;
I can see Rosa's cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
Down off the hill to Felina I go.

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.
I have to make it to Rosa's back door.

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side.
Though I am trying
To stay in the saddle,
I'm getting weary,
Unable to ride.

But my love for

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.

Love that 'wo-oh-oh-OH' bit!

[KimberlyCrawley]

So Jealous
Lisa Mitchell

Well sitting on this bed I may as well be on the highway
Ocean bursts its banks and all the waters going my way
Even though your poison babe I wouldn’t even hesitate
This lie inside your head inside your little heart now

Well listen nothing fits, nothing rings a bell in my head
Lighting up the fire and the city’s painted blood red
Even though your poison babe I wouldn’t even hesitate
Just let it go I just I gotta get away now

I was so jealous, I nearly ran away,
I was so jealous, I really couldnt say
What was wrong with me,
I had some bad disease,
I was so sick for you babe

Well I didn’t mean to break it I was just having a look
Oh I know I shouldn’t touch I shouldv’e never picked it up
Even though your poison babe I wouldn’t even hesitate
Just let me go I just I got another chance now

I was so jealous, I nearly ran away,
I was so jealous, I really couldnt say
What was wrong with me,
I had some bad disease,
I was so sick for you babe

So underneath the street lights, oh I found your broken pen knife
No I don’t wanna ask what, what your doing by the wayside, oh

I was so jealous, I nearly ran away,
I was so jealous, I really couldn’t say
What was wrong with me,
I had some bad disease,
I was so sick for you babe

I was so jealous, I nearly ran away,
I was so jealous, I really couldn’t say
What was wrong with me,
I had some bad disease,
I was so sick for you babe
I was so sick for you babe

[Cagliostro]

You're the Only One - Mr. T Experience

You're the only one for me
I tell you three or four times a day
When you're with me I'm happy
I'm lost and lonely when you're away.

Every night I have to spend without you
My suffering grows ever more and more
I wouldn't suffer like this for just anyone
You're the only one I want to suffer for
You're the only one.

Now we've established something precious,
but chances are it could go awry
When we find how weak the flesh is,
Shattered, scattered, hung out to dry.
It'll all come out when it's dicovered,
Clearer than the teardrop in my eye,
But I don't want to get screwed over by just anyone
You're the only one I want to get screwed over by.
You're the only one.

My heart is a mess yes it's true.
I've tried to fix it up just for you.
It's not done yet but it will have to do.
Oo woo oo oo.

I know there are so many others out there
Who might like a chance to get a crack at it too,
But if my heart's gonna get broken anyway
I'd rather have it get broken by you.
You're the only one...

[StevieG]

I've been back tracking lately - this song by PULP had a huge influence on me at the time, and the lyrics are still good...

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola
She said "fine"
And then in 30 seconds time she said

"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you"

Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do"

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
I said "pretend you've got no money"
but she just laughed
and said "oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure

you want to live like common people
you want to see whatever common people see
you want to sleep with common people
you want to sleep with common people like me?"

But she didn't understand
she just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along although they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite you and never warn you
Look out
they'll tear your insides out
'cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks
it's all such a laugh
yeah and the chip stain's grease
will come out in the bath

You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright
whilst you can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
'because there's nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you.....

I say this was no game of chicken
You were aiming at your best friend
That you wear like a switchblade on a chain around your neck
I think you picked this up in Mexico from your dad
Now its daddy on the booze
And Brando on the ice, he's smooth
Now it's Dean in the doorway
With one more way he can't play this scene twice
So you drug her down every drag of this forbidden fit of love
And you told her to stand tall when you kissed her
But that's not where you were thinking...
How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked
into a scene so custom tucked?
But now look who shows up
In the same place
In this case
I think it's better
To face it ---
We belong together
We belong together

Once Johnny the King made a spit ring
And all the skid kids saw a very, very proud man
And he entwined her in his finger
And she lay there like a baby in his hand
And climb upon the rooftop docks
lookin' out on the cross-town seas
And he wraps his jacket across her shoulders
And he falls and hugs and holds her on his knees
But a sailor just takes a broad down to the dark end of the fair
and turns her into a tattoo
That will whisper
into the back of Johnny's
black hair
And now Johnny the King walks these streets without her in the rain
Lookin' for a leather jacket
And a girl who wrote her name forever
A promise that ---
We belong together
We belong together

Shall we weigh along these streets
Young lions on the lam?
Are the signs you hid deep in your heart
All left in neon for them?
Who are foolish
Who are victims
Of the sailors and the ducky boys who would
Move into your eyes and lips and every tear
That falls down on the neighborhood now

I said "Bird, we just gotta tell them"
And they turn and ignore us
And the only heroes we got left
Are written right before us
And the only angel who sees us now
Watches through each other's eyes
And I can hear him
In every footstep's passing sigh
He goes crazy these nights
Watching heartbeats go by...
And they whisper ---
We belong together
We belong together.

Love that song, Luci!

And Endy, you've discovered Lisa Mitchell!! She's fab. Was on Australian Idol a year or two ago and she was the most unique voice there. Unfortunately she was really young and struggled to do well with the Idol format.


Now for something completely different (you've all missed Sea's musical interludes, haven't ya! )

So this is from Aida. The lyrics aren't to die for but...well...it means something to me.



AIDA
We all lead such elaborate lives
Wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
Days apart and hurried nights
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to live like that
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to love like that
I just want our time to be
Slower and gentler, wiser, free

We all live in extravagant times
Playing games
we can't all win
Unintended emotional crimes
take some out take others in

Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to keep your heart
May this confession be the start

I know you'll give me courage
to face what I must face
with all these complications
in another time and place

AIDA & RADAMES
We all lead such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
An affair of the heart survives
All the pain the world can do

RADAMES
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to live like that

AIDA
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to love like that
I just want to be with you
Now and forever peaceful, true

[Palm Lake Mustachio]

SLAYER

Minutes seem like days
Since fire ruled the sky
The rich became the beggars
And the fools became the wise
Memories linger in my brain
Of burning from the acid rain
A pain I never have won

Nothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could foresee
The end that came so fast
Hear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sun

Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be

The world slowly decays
Destruction fills my eyes
Harboring the image
Of a spiraling demise
Burning winds release their fury
Simulating judge and jury
Drfiting flurries of pain

Deafening silence reigns
As twilight fills the sky
Eventual supremacy
Daylight waits to die
Darkness always calls my name
A pawn in this recurring game
Humanity going insane

Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of Society
Shades of death are all i see
Fragments of what used to be
Skeletons of Society

Minutes seem like days
Corrosion fills the sky
Morbid dreams of anarchy
Brought judgment in disguise
Memories linger in my brain
Life with nothing more to gain
Perpetual madness remains

Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of society
Shades of Death are all i see
Fragments of what used to be
Skeletons of society

Upward Over the Mountain

Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain

Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain

Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
And you cried 'til the morning

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain

Renewing my love of Christy Moore this week, and with Cheltenham Jump Festival next week (a full week in the pub, lovely, ), this one seems appropriate...

Sodom and Begorrah

There's Bethlehem and Cheltenham, Lourdes and Limerick Junction
Medjugorje or a rub of the extreme unction
Good people climb Croagh Patrick with serenity on their faces
But I found my salvation, below at the Galway Races.

Clergymen dressed up like men and models home from London
Whallup and how's she cuttin' John? Begod sure only Middlin'
Gamblers with big wads of notes, going mad to gamble
Na boys' isteach as inverin, there just to take a ramble.

Helen Lucy smells the mattress and reviews the hairy bacon
Says Mickey Finn to Galligan, hey Peter what are you takin'?
Shish kebabs, Kinvara crabs as people stuff their faces
Others couldn't eat to save their lives below at the Galway Races.

Its there you'll see gentility and sheep dressed up like mutton
Double barrelled names with more airs than old melodeons
The talk is all of tillage and of silage and con acre
I tell you scraws and bottoms would be closer to the mark sir.

Sir John Muck Savidge-Smythe is there with Smurfit's and O'Reilly's
Owners and trainers, stable boys and jockeys
With silk around their arses getting up on rich mens' horses
Not to mention wives and daughters and marriages and divorces.

There's pontoon, twenty five and there's savage games of poker
There's them would lay their lives on two flies walking up the wall sure
There's wise men from the east making eyes at go-go dancers
And ministers of state accepting drinks from terrible chancers.

Salthill after dark, is like Sodom and Gomorra
There's people doing things tonight that they'll regret tomorrow
There's folk and trad, they're disco mad, karaoke and set dances
And people who've seen better days looking to take their chances

They're under starters orders and Michael O'Hehir is waiting
Lester's up on the favourite and she'll surely take some beating
Necks are craned and eyes are strained there's fear upon their faces
There's agony and ecstasy below at the Galway Races.

Bethlehem and Cheltenham, Lourdes and Limerick Junction
Medjugorje or a rub of extreme unction
Good people climb Croagh Patrick with serenity on their faces
But I found my salvation, below at the Galway Races.

She is fab! She makes me think of an American Idol contestant. A better Katherine McPhee. Similar looks and talent, but Lisa knows what she wants to do with it. Sing.

Heartattack And Vine
(Tom Waits 1980)
Liar liar with your pants on fire
White spades hangin' on the telephone wire
Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line
You'll never recognize yourself on heartattack and vine

Doctor, lawyer, beggar man thief
Philly Joe remarkable looks on in disbelief
If you want a taste of madness, you'll have to wait in line
You'll probably see someone you know on heartattack and vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line
What you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine

See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top
With the peddle pushers sucking on a soda pop
Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine
You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine

Better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs
Than crawling down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs
You'll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn time
Your're waitin' for the RTD on heartattack and vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line
What you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine

Liar liar with your pants on fire
White spades hangin' on the telephone wire
Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line
You'll never recognize yourself on heartattack and vine

Doctor, lawyer, beggar man thief
Philly Joe remarkable looks on in disbelief
If you want a taste of madness, you'll have to wait in line
You'll probably see someone you know on heartattack and vine

See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top
With the peddle pushers sucking on a soda pop
Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine
You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line
What you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine

Oh, he's a lucky guy
Oh, he's a lucky guy
He doesn't worry about me
When I'm gone
He goes to sleep at night
He don't turn off the light
And wonder how to find me
Or if I'm alone

Oh, he's a lucky guy
I wish I was like him
Cuz when he talks about me
He don't look this way
He's a lucky guy

He used to walk with me
He used to talk to me
See, we have these secrets
That no one else could hear
Well, he's not the only one
No, no not the only one
But what happens to them?

Do they matter?
Do they disappear
Into a lonely girl?
Now I'm a lonely girl
Cuz I want somebody with me in the world
Oh, he's a lucky guy

Fontune walks right in the door
And here I am
Just like before

Well, I'm not gonna turn around
I'm not his pretty clown
I'm not the one caught
Like he thought
He was the last one I had there
Cuz I did a foolish thing
A real, real stupid thing

I told him I love him
And I want him there
When I knew he wouldn't come

And I knew he didn't care
And I'll cry awhile
I'll cry awhile
But when I wake up
Tomorrow is a new day
I'm a lucky guy
Hey, I'm a lucky guy
Real, real lucky guy
Hey, I'm a lucky guy

More christy.....

He was Lawless by name, Lawless by nature,
He was trouble right from the start.
Hard as nails, runnin' wild through the streets
He was breakin' his poor mother's heart.
Nature played a trick on Lawless
and the humour of nature is cruel.
He grew up as we all had expected -
into a dangerous fool.

He was a hard man, a man for all seasons,
He was always out for a fight.
He couldn't hold drink but still he'd get plastered
in Clark's every Saturday night,
strip to the vest and challenge the best
until the guards they were called to come fast,
and they'd lock him away for the rest of the day
and let him out on the Sunday for mass.

Oh one night he went down
to the Ring's End Regatta
where he met up with the (bold?) Dolly (Platts?)
She wasn't exactly what you'd call beauty,
but she was the belle of our flats.
A whirlwind romance and Dolly took a (flier?)
with Lawless she would settle down
It was pure coincidence three months before
there was a yankee destroyer in town.

And the couple were blessed with one of god's miracles
before six months had elapsed
Dolly gave birth to a nine-pound black baby
and Lawless was fit to collapse
She swore she'd never been touched by another
and Lawless took her at her word,
and the neighbours exclaimed, 'he's the spit of his father, and the cuckoo is a wonderful bird.'

Oh now Lawless stays in and looks after his baby
while Dolly goes out for the night.
The old gossips all say she's free in her ways
and their evil rumours ran rife.
When Lawless heard this he waited for Dolly
in the bridge where the river runs low.
Noone will ever know what happened next,
but Dolly drowned in the Dodder
below.

Some say he's crazy and more say he's evil,
everyone says that he's mad.
Noone will defend him, he was no angel,
but I'll tell you he wasn't all bad.
They've locked him away for the rest of his natural
never again will he see
down the back of Ring's End
there's a lonely child playing
where the Liffey flows into the sea.

CXS - The 8th Square


The trial is set before us
And it's hard understand
The mechanics of this world we tread
The potential in our hands
Truth is born in uncertain stages
And in turn life will reveal
That though we stand before the crown
The future is concealed

So we must move to face our enemies
And to each of us, his own
Perspectives change across the board
As the last among us knows
And I am proud of what I've sacrificed
And I am proud of what I've saved
In commitment to a greater good strength grows from splintered faith

And if the darkness falls upon me
In the silence of my heart
And if the world turns to abandon
I will not fall apart
For I believe in something deeper
Than the physics that we share
And I will strive with all my power
To reach the 8th and final square

For in every evil and every loss
A finer verity unfolds
You are free to face this trepidation
And with your weakness grow
For the strongest bones are broken
And the soul needs to redeem
With courage face the thing you fear
So the pawn becomes the queen

And if the darkness falls upon me
In the silence of my heart
And if the world turns to abandon
I will not fall apart
For I believe in something deeper
Than the physics that we share
And I will strive with all my power
To reach the 8th and final square

I go inside the darkness
I go within the light
I find the open spaces
My world is black and white

Afterglow
Vertical Horizon

I wasn't sleeping... I wasn't dreaming... I kept my head down, I kept my head down..

I wasn't laughing... I think I was crashing... 'cause I always fall down, I always fall down...

Now everything I've ever known just fades into the the afterglow
This light surrounds you, and the light pulls me through
and even though the best is gone, I've got you here-I'm holding on
Look up from below
and stay with me here in the afterglow

I wasn't breathing... my heart had stopped beating... Frozen in time, frozen inside.

Now everything I've ever known just fades into the the afterglow
This light surrounds you, and your light pulls me through
and even though the best is gone, I've got you here-I'm holding on
Look up from below
and stay with me here in the afterglow

You saved me from this hiding place
where I waste away
You take this winter's night into
a perfect summer's day..

Now im believing... The pain is receding...

you're like water to wine
water to wine...

Now everything I've ever known just fades into the the afterglow
This light surrounds you, and the light pulls me through
and anywhere you wanna go I'll take you there, just let me know
stay with me here

stay with me here

just stay with me here in the afterglow
