Everything is silent
Night upon the rocks
I'm over by the roadhouse
With them rusted engine blocks
A ghost town with a gold mine
A pick axe in my head
I'm beggin' mama please move over
Kick the stones out of my bed
Met my sister Sandra
With them jewels and the cross
Eyes on my lever now
She paint with chili sauce
I cannot do no business
With your candle lit in red
I'm beggin' mama please move over
Kick the stones out of my bed
Take you in my belly
Sure as night is black
Take you for religion
Like the skin across my back
When I'm buried in your thighs girl
I could understand
You gotta tell me just for once child
You ain't got no other plan
You ain't got no other plan
You gotta tell me just for once sister
You ain't got no other man
So meet me at the junction
I'll buy you one last round
Let me in on something
Before I leave this town
Well we used to have a password girl
Now I can't recall
You gotta tell me was it love
Or some high-grade alcohol
Some high-grade alcohol
You gotta tell me was it love
Or some high-grade alcohol
Kick them stones out of my bed,
stones out of my bed
I'm begging mama please move over

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.

Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm?
Or a lion through a busy street bazarre?
There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel they're safer where they are
Yes, there's a man I know
With no expression
He's got none at all
Yes, there's a man that I know
With no expression, darling
He's got none at all
Well, some people are inbound with infatuation
And some others spill depression as the law
From one's mother getting at no imagination
So beware then, maybe sin is at your door
Yes, there's a man that I know
With no expression
He's got none at all
Yes, there's a man I know
With no expression
He's got none at all
But you may never, never
See this man laughing
Come to think of it,
I've never seen him cry
But he might be sitting
And you hear him singing
And by and by he'll stop and sigh
Before his voice would even begin to speak
And he'd just cry
Yes, There's a man I know
With no expression, darling
He's got none at all

Drown
Smashing Pumpkins
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far
Just to see if I'll come around
When I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming down
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you scream
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming down
Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said?
Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will
Goodbye

Mothers Little Helper

What a drag it is getting old
Kids are different today,
I hear evry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though shes not really ill
Theres a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
Things are different today,
I hear evry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husbands just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
Men just arent the same today
I hear evry mother say
They just dont appreciate that you get tired
Theyre so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
Lifes just much too hard today,
I hear evry mother say
The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no senators son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no,
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, dont they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no millionaires son, no.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, one.

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
And suppose I never met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall
All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better
I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly

And it breaks my heart

And it breaks my heart

Two-way tie between Ziggy Stardust and Rock'n'Roll Suicide by David Bowie
David Bowie wrote: Ziggy Stardust
Ziggy played Guitar,
Jammin' good with Wierd and Gilly -- The Spiders from Mars
He played it left hand, but he made it too far
Became the Special Man, then we were Ziggy's Band
Ziggy really sang
Screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo, like some cat from Japan.
He could lick 'em by smilin', he could leave 'em to hang.
He came on so loaded man, Well hung and snow white tan.
So where were the Spiders?
While the fly tried to break our bones!
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?
Ziggy played for time
Jivin' us that we were voodoo, the kids were just crass
And he was the Naz, with God-given Ass
He took it all to far, but boy, could he play guitar
Makin' love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mi-ind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band!
Now Ziggy Played... Guitar...
Last one is heavily associated with my girlfriend: Everything past 'Oh no, love' in particular.David Bowie wrote:Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your
cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived
too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suciide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural - religiously unkind
Oh no love! you're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on and be not alone
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful [x2]
Oh gimme your hands.
Accept was so metal, their lyrics didn't make a lick of sense.
Hey you -- come on
I show you something
There is what it takes for you
Mmh, you better follow me
Go -- gonna ease your pain
Ooh, you will remember me
That’s it what they used to say
Seducing everybody for the money
Slow down -- back off
Tell him you don’t pay the price
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
He can’t go on in the sunlight
You better use your brain
Ooh, you are forever free
That’s it, there’s no place to stay
For someone who is losing, it’s not funny
Slow down -- back off
Tell him you don’t pay the price
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
Midnight mover -- midnight mover
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
He can’t go on in the sunlight
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
He can’t go on in the sunlight

We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
The bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first , I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But there just soft light, there just soft light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
He told me i was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
and he kissed me till the morning light
Samson came back to bed
not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Electric Green Pete Droge
n the midnight sun, watching colors run
Bring back electric green
When the morning comes, we'll be overdone
Time for my favorite dream, uh huh
Bring back electric green.
Time gets wasted running with the pack, go on
Toss it out the window, try and get your money back
Smoke 'em if you got 'em, bring along an extra pack
Sunrise, sunset.
In the midnight sun, watching colors run

Bring back electric green.
Fingerprints on broken glass
That's what you get for looking back.
Here goes nothing, nothing to get buzzed about
Take a little something, something that'll sort me out
Just because it never did doesn't mean it won't work now
Sunrise, sunset.

[Dickinson]
"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
(G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal)
Just a babe in a black abyss,
No reason for a place like this,
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain,
An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the Hanged Man - the smile of his lips.
The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.
She came to me with a serpent's kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips,
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry,
So we lay in a black embrace,
And the Seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched, and I waited for the Dawn.
The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.
Bind all of us together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free,
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see.
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain,
For the one who will be King
Is the Watcher in the Ring.
It is
You.
Out on a range in a season too soon
No electric light up in my room
With a dark skin woman I'm naked and sane
You could learn about the world in an afternoon
The bordertown shook my hand
It was the gateway to some other land
The bordertown is the great divide
Just the gateway to some other side
I got to get across
Now some folks live in the trailer park
With the Naugahyde law and the liquor shark
Where the networks and the new machine
They don't even try to make no mark
When you came round I loved you well
When you got paid it was harder to tell
Now I got no grind with cruel gold
I'm just sitting 'round wondering what next to sell

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself

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.

I am gripped by what I cannot tell
Have I slipped or have I merely fell
I feel gypped my senses telling lies
I've been stiffed by serpents soundless cries
Up in the hills
An apparition
Filling me
With superstition
A fiery night the night that I saw,
The night that I saw
The night that I saw
Lips lips
Lips in the hills in the hills
Lips lips
Lips in the hills
In the hills
I'm so flipped snared by hidden claws
Ive been t-tripped I'm crawling on all fours
I've been stripped the insulations gone
Wish I'd slept to waken in the morn
Up in the sky
Beyond the chasm
My eyes behold
A rare phantasm
The Godless night, the night that I saw
The night that I saw
The night that I saw
Lips lips
Lips in the hills in the hills
Lips lips
Lips in the hills
In the hills
I am gripped by what I cannot tell
Have I slipped or have I merely fell

I Still Want You : The Del Fuegos
Seasons change and lessons get learned
It's been awhile but my heart burns
It says I still want you
And that's all I'll do
Spend my time just
Thinking about you
Says I still want you
The car we bought together
Just started to rust
The world we made
Came between the two of us
I still want you
When the day was through
We drive through town
My arm around you
Says I still want you
I tried so hard
Just to fill your cup
I tried so hard
Just to fill it up
But you only drift away
You drift away
Now you only drift away
You drift away
I hear the rain coming down
The leaves start to fall
I hear your voice
I remember it all
Says I still want you
And that's all I'll do
Spend my life just
Thinking about you
Says I still want you
I tried so hard
Tried to fill your cup
I tried so hard
Just to fill it up
But you only drift away
You drift away
And, baby, I still want you
I still want you
I said I still want you
Seasons change and lessons get learned

Kom Susser Tod (Come, Sweet Death!)
I know
I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could live for no one else
But now,
Through all the hurt and pain,
It's time for me to accept
the ones you Love mean more than anything.
So with sadness in my heart
Think the best thing I can do
Is end it all and leave forever.
What's done is done it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad,
I'll never love again my world is ending
I wish
That I could turn back time
'cause now the Guilt is all mine:
Can't live without the trust of those you love
I know
We can't forget the past
You can't forgive love and pride
Because of that it's killing me inside
It all returns to nothing
It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts
I know that I can never love again
I've lost everything
Everything
Everything that matters to me
Matters in this World...
I wish
That I could turn back time

B&
Gravity
(Rickie Lee Jones)
There are wounds that stir up the force of gravity
A cold that will wipe the hope from your eyes
Young girl standing underneath the "El" train
Standing there, watching the trains go by ...
You think that nobody knows where you are, girl
You think that nobody knows how this feels
Alone, in a world of your own, there you are girl
The small things float to the top of gravity
Gravity
I'm telling you where it is
Gravity
We walk in easy snakes
Through the roulette rattling of the alley
And now the arson smell of moon polishes a newsstand
They empty the gas can, they watch the fire
If there are three girls running -
There are three girls running nowhere
From remedies that you call random
and we call by name
And ask them to explain why
I heard somebody
Be quiet, Don't say nothing
I thought I heard someone
Well we walk where we want to
there's nobody gonna be there
Nobody's there ...
Nobody
I could not say no to the light of my desire
I'm not asking so much
But you roll-call the passion
His lips ? -No
His back ? -No
His face? - No, no, no
I'm not asking so much..
I try to imagine another planet, another sun
Where I don't look like me
And everything I do matters
instead of there, where you are, girl
In your green paint with a pin to pull
At the fingertips of gravity
Gravity
I'm telling you where it is

Husker Du - Gravity
It's only getting darker
It may be moving faster
Well, it won't stop spinning
But how long will it remain?
This repulsive world
The crimes we all commit
It's not your gravity
It's not your gravity
Gravity
The tension keeps building
The changes are rapid
We're through competing
Is it better to retreat?

It’s not warm when C’s away.
Ain’t no sunshine when C’s gone
And C’s always gone too long

Wonder if C’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when C’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home

Only darkness every day.

Are you looking for some answers?
You've come to the wrong place
You might find lines but no valentines
Written all over my face
I bear no grudge, I wear no frown
I just come with calloused hands
And I don't mean to bring you down
But there is no romance
I spent too much of my life waiting
Hoping, dreaming, wishing, believing
And way too little of it living
Smashing it up and taking and giving
I wish someone had warned me
While I was still a young man
And saved me lots of time and money
There is no romance
Save your stories for the bartender
And your crying for the theater
And your poems and your diary pages
To kill some time in your old age
There may be gods who hear your prayers
And honest men who, men who care
And young lovers who say they will wait forever
Lives that look like movies and books
But the sooner that you learn this
The sooner you'll free your hands
To get on with things that really matter
There is no romance
You've come to the wrong place
You might find lines but no valentines
Written all over my face
I bear no grudge, I wear no frown

Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life
