What if I hadn't walked down those stairs?
What if you hadn't been working there?
Life can turn on a dime
Do your best not to blink
'less you miss your exit sign
But that's not what occured
No, you were there
And I was angry enough to just not care
And if you finally said no to my face
At least I'd know why my life was such a waste
Life can turn like a gem
Catching the light
Cutting the night, come blinding
Here it came
Everything changed
No one noticed a thing
But for you and me
Our whole world tilted immeasurably
Did you know?
Could you see?
How much work this would be?
Hear the rumbling 'neath the floor
Sometimes love sings, but more often it roars
Life can turn like a spool
Let go of the rope
Forget about your list of rules
Here it comes
Life can turn on a dime
Do your best not to blink
'less you miss your exit sign

I heard you telling your friends
"He's harmless enough"
There's almost nothing you could have said
That would have hurt me so much
But how to risk all you've got
Oh, I forget, you forgot
But you'd see that harmless is one thing
I'm most certainly not
It's all fools gold my dear
It's all fools gold my dear
It's hardly ever like you think
It's almost always like you fear
It's all fools gold
When we were young we went dancing to a band at the Rake
They were so far out of tune and time
They didn't even blink
They were the best in the world, as far as we were concerned
I heard 'em two years on, it was amazing what they'd learned
Twice as cool, twice as fast, twice as loud, twice as long
They were at least twice as good, and about half as much fun
It's all fools gold my dear
It's all fools gold my dear
It's not so much what you know
As what you believe to be so
It's all fools gold
I was in traffic by a man reading a book while he drives
He couldn't stay between the lanes
He couldn't read between the lines
So I ran him off the road the first chance that I got
See, harmless is one thing, a little knowledge is not
It's all fools gold my dear
It's all fools gold my dear
Sometimes the facts can make the truth disappear
It's all fools gold
I think god honored my oath
And he one day struck me blind
Because I can't see the forest
For the matchsticks sometimes
If ignorance is bliss
I'm the happiest man alive
I do so want to believe I'm so damn dumb sometimes
I imagine politics and love where neither exist
Mistake the handshake of friendship for the hate shaking fist
It's like the lost Dutchman mine
It's a fictional flame
But we've no other choice than to keep mining that vein
It's all fools gold my dear
It's all fools gold my dear
It's hardly ever like you think
It's almost always like you fear
It's all fools gold

Throwing Muses : Mania
What means hallucinate? what are we supposed to see?
What are they supposed to want? get a job! you scare me
I sing here I'm alone here I'm with you over here
Marshmallow brain I need an umbrella
If I'm gonna stand in the rain
My hands are cupped and full of blood
My eyes are spirals I am on my knees and praying
That is how I pray cause thatis how you pray
Rat rat rat rat rat rat
Tongue thickens I am with those who eat drugs
Who peek over the wall and get shocked
Shocking is therapy
Electrify your head!
Pianos in my hearing vincent, me ear is falling off
Who left me alone? what do you mean you're alone?
Goddamn wolves
No one has that dream
Hallucinate I need an umbrella

A road is in my dream centerdale is in my dream
Drums! carry me over the wall
You! left me alone what do you mean you're alone?

Sickness is therapy electrify your head!
Catalyst I need an umbrella
If I'm gonna slit my wrist
Pick your hands up

Your feet say nothing but move your hips
Move your hips, move your hips
Rat rat rat rat rat rat

Things are getting weird, things are getting tough
Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up
They tell you to be true, you're trying every day
You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way
To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud
You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down
So gather round I'm here to say
You'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by his tail
And hang on hang on hang on
Everybody just
Get on get on get on get started
Just go on go on go on
Everybody just hang on
Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in
They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin
And everywhere I go the people are the same
They just wanna know that everything will be OK
Things are getting rough, turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down

Pink Floyd › Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Don't You Ever Learn, by Todd Rundgren
Dont you ever listen?
Dont you ever learn?
The hand may find you
Its time to take a turn
You think this life is something strange
Youre ready for another change
But dont you ever learn?
Dont you ever listen?
Dont you ever learn?
The world is on fire
Your body doesnt burn
Kill yourself before receiving
Something out of all this breathing
Dont you ever learn?

If the sun
Ain't shinin bright
And the moon the moon
Won't shine for you tonight
If thr stars in the sky gone away
And you feel
Feelin real slow down today
If life gets hard to understand
And the whole thing is getting out of hand
Come to Poppa
Come see your poppa
If you need a pacifier
Call me anytime
I'll try to be your satisfier
If you feel
Like a horse
Blazin' at the bit
Call my number
Anytime night or day
I'll get ya fixed
If life gets hard to understand
And your whole life is way out of hand
Come to Poppa
Come see your poppa

Bare Naked Ladies -- I'll be that Girl
If I were... And I wish that I were you...
All the thing's I'd do... to make myself turn blue...
I suppose... I'd start by removing all my clothes...
Tie my panty-hose... around my neck..
I'll be that Girl, and you would be right over!
If I were a field, you would be in clover!
If I were the sun, you would be in Shadow!
If I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow...
If you will not have me as myself
Perhaps as someone else..
Perhaps as you, I'd be worth noticing..
Then even a eunich won't resist...
The magic of a kiss..
From such as me...
I'll be that Girl, and you would be right over!
If I were a field, you would be in clover!
If I were the sun, you would be in Shadow!
If I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow...
It's time to kick off your shoes, learn how to choose sadness.
It's time to throw off those chains, addle our brains with madness.
'cause we've got plenty of time to grow old and die
But when at last your beauty's faded you'll be glad that I have waited for you...
So when you're done... with being beautiful and young...
When that course has run... then come to me!
I'll be that Girl, and you would be right over!
If I were a field, you would be in clover!
If I were the sun, you would be in Shadow!
If I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow...
(repeated till fadeout.)

You live so much, its like you're dying
You can't give up, your body's trying
You build so tall its like you're flying
But rocks will fall; the sky keeps climbing
You're gonna lose everything
How does it feel
I'm not scared so much of trying
But don't look up you might start flying
You're gonna lose everything
How does it feel
Oh no
What I want to know is how does it feel
You're gonna lose everything
How does it feel
You live so much, its like you're dying
You can't give up, your body's trying
You build so tall its like you're flying
But rocks will fall; the sky keeps climbing

Phish : Wading In The Velvet Sea
I took a moment from my day
Wrapped it up in things you say
Mailed it off to your address
You'll get it pretty soon unless
The packaging begins to break
And all the points I tried to make
Are tossed with thoughts into a bin
Time leaks out my life leaks in
You won't find moments in a box
And someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day
Wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you

Leave It Like It Is
Artist: David Wilcox
Now when the paint jar tipped
Off of the table
You watched as it started to fall
Glass popped, shattered and splattered
And paint spray hit the wall
Bright, blue glossy enamel
Across the kitchen floor
You said, "Good God, look at that pattern
I've never seen that before"
Chorus
Leave it like it is
Never mind the turpentine
Leave it like it is
Its fine
Now when the paint dried
You gave it a title
You called it "Kitchen Blue"
A white frame painted around it
And gallery lighting too
Rich folks come over to dinner
They all want one of their own
They say "How much? Who's the artist"
And, "My what a beautiful home"
Chorus
Now most folks suffer in sorrow
Thinking they're just no good
They don't match the magazine model
As close as they think they should
They live just like the "paint by numbers"
The teacher would be impressed
A life-time of follow the lines
So it's just like all of the rest
Chorus

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Bluegirls come in every size
Some are wise and some otherwise,
They got pretty blue eyes.
For an hour a man may change
For an hour her face looks strange -
Looks strange, looks strange.
Marching to the promised land
Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand,
Pulls you down on your knees,
While youre down a pool appears.
The face in the water looks up,
And she shakes her head as if to say
That its the last time you'll look like today.
Sail away, away
Ripples never come back.
Gone to the other side.
Sail away, away.
The face that launched a thousand ships
Is sinking fast, that happens you know,
The water gets below.
Seems not very long ago
Lovelier she was than any that I know.
Angels never know its time
To close the book and gracefully decline,
The song has found a tale.
My, what a jealous pool is she.
The face in the water looks up
She shakes her head as if to say
That the bluegirls have all gone away.
Sail away, away
Ripples never come back.
They've gone to the other side.
Look into the pool,
Ripples never come back,
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
To see where they have gone
Oh, they've gone to the other side...
Sail away, away
Ripples never come back.
Gone to the other side.
Look into the pool,
The ripples never come back, come back,
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
To see where they have gone
They've gone to the other side
Ripples never come back
Sail away, away...

Neil Young : Helpless
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate
It's five o'clock in the morning
And you're just getting in
You knock on the front door
And a voice sweet and low says
Who is it?
She opens up the door and lets you in
Never once asks where have you been
She says are you hungry?
Did you eat yet?
Let me hang up your coat
Pass me your hat
All the time she's smiling
Never once raises her voice
It's five o'clock in the morning
You don't give it a second thought
It's a thin line between love and hate [2x]
The sweetest woman in the world
Could be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her that way
You keep hurting her
She'll keep being quiet
She might be holding something inside
That'll really, really hurt you one day
I see her in the hospital
Bandaged from foot to head
In a state of shock
Just that much from being dead
You couldn't believe the girl
Would do something like this, ha
You didn't think the girl had the nerve
But here you are
I guess action speaks louder than words
It's a thin line between love and hate

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart : Wilco
I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said that I've been drinking
What was I thinking when I said good night?
I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when I said hello?
I'd always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
Disposable Dixie-cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
loves you
I'm the man who loves you

The FLC--The Grave and The Constant
I used to wear dress blues, I used to get my cues from the dudes in
D.C. with the wing tip shoes.
My boss said it was parris or prison and the judge said: son you better
Make a decision.
I chose the former because I heard it was warmer, april in parris, hell
South of the border.
They put me together, tougher than leather.
Set me on your ass because they didnt know better.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
I hold the fort left, right and center
The number running hardass punk, flygirl bender. check the photo
Finish Im in this to satisfy parole, not posing not playing the role,
See I got more gumbas than bobby de niro and if I was you id
Act like nixon and spiro. so drink your rock and smoke your pot
And chill where its shady. I got more endurance than in-a-gadda-
Da-vida baby.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Im up to no good, with no place to go but down. . .
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Getting it on to the grave spot, getting it on, getting it on, getting it on.
Were up to no good, with no place to go but down. . .

I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, I'd never find her
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No more nightmares, I've seen them all
From the day I was born, they've haunted my every move
Every open hand's there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn't matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day I'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
