[Worm of Despite]

Here's to You from the film Sacco e Vanzetti

Here's to you, Nicola and Bart
Rest forever here in our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph

Performer: Belly
Song: Gepetto
Album: Star
Written by Tonya Donelly

So he's lying on top again
Just like Gepetto with his doll
And he's right around the bend
And I can't get him out of this house
And if you bore him, you'll lose your soul to him

So that kid from the bad home came over my house again
Decapitated all my dolls
And if you bore me, you'll lose your soul to me

(sha la na, sha la na, sha la na)
Hey Gepetto, where'd you put it? Oh Gepetto whoa whoa (x2)

And if you bore him, you're gonna lose your soul

(sha la na, sha la na, sha la na)
Hey Gepetto, where'd you get to? Oh Gepetto whoa whoa (x2)

(sha la na, sha la na, sha la na)
Hey Gepetto, what'd you get me? Oh Gepetto whoa whoa

So he's lying on top again
Just like Gepetto

(sha la na, sha la na, sha la na)

[The Laughing Man]

• • • • Little Boxes
  Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky
  Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
  There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
  And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
  
  And the people in the houses all went to the university
  Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
  And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
  And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
  
  And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
  And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
  And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
  Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.
  
  And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
  In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

He bought her a diamond for her throat
He put her in a ranch house on a hill
She could see the valley barbecues
From her window sill
See the blue pools in the squinting sun
Hear the hissing of summer lawns

He put up a barbed wire fence
To keep out the unknown
And on every metal thorn
Just a little blood of his own
She patrols that fence of his
To a latin drum
And the hissing of summer lawns
Darkness
Wonder makes it easy
Darkness
With a joyful mask
Darkness
Tube's gone, darkness, darkness, darkness
No color no contrast

A diamond dog
Carrying a cup and a cane
Looking through a double glass
Looking at too much pride and too much shame
There's a black fly buzzing
There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
Hissing summer lawns

He gave her his darkness to regret
And good reason to quit him
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
That nobody sits in
Still she stays with a love of some kind
It's the lady's choice
The hissing of summer lawns

wilco - i hate it here (without you)

www.mp3lyrics.org/Tlfy


I try to stay busy
I do the dishes, I mow the lawn
I try to keep myself occupied
Even though I know you're not coming home

I try to keep the house nice and neat
I make my bed I change the sheets
I even learned how to use
the washing machine
But keeping things clean
doesn't change anything

What am I gonna do when I run
out of shirts to fold?
What am I gonna do when I run
out of lawn to mow?
What am I gonna do if you never come home?
Tell me, what am I gonna do?

I hate it

I hate it here
When you're gone

I caught myself thinking
I caught myself thinking once again
Have to try to keep my mind out of this
Try not to pretend

I'll check the phone
I'll check the mail
I'll check the phone again
and I call your mom
She says you're not there
and I should take care

I hate it here
When you're gone
I hate it
I hate it here
When you're gone

I try to stay busy
I take out the trash, I sweep the floor
Try to keep myself occupied
Cause I know you don't live here anymore

[lucimay]

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing ...
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
went to the doctor guess what he told me
Guess what he told me?
He said, girl, you better have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool ...
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you ...

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you

Trick of the light
Or just
A loss of perspective
Flaw in the grand plan
Just
The way it is

Looks good from a distance
But
The closer I come
It...
Becomes more daunting
But
These moments will pass

Still
Halfway up the hill
My fingers may bleed
But I’ve got to get there
Still
Standing on the hill
My spirit’s released
But I’ve got to get there

Lost in an abstract thought
Dazed and distracted
Winded yet still I’m caught
With a fragment of doubt
Slowed by reflection
But
These moments will pass

Still
Halfway up the hill
My fingers may bleed
But I’ve got to get there
Still
Standing on the hill
My spirit’s released
But I’ve got to get there

It’s just confusion
An illusion
Easily overdone
Here comes resolution
Absolution

It’s not an illusion
Not a fiction
Easily overcome
Here comes revolution
Absolution

Trick of the light
Or just
Too much perspective
Looks good from a distance
But
The closer I come
It
Becomes more daunting
But
These moments will pass

Still

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone.
It's not warm when he's away.
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long anytime he goes away.

Wonder this time where he's gone,
Wonder if he's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime he goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the old thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when he's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime he goes away.

Anytime he goes away.
Anytime he goes away.
Anytime he goes away.
Anytime he goes away.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know...
I know, I know, I know...
I know, I know, I know...
I know, I know, I know...
I know, I know, I know...
I know, I know, I know...

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for you

If you go, if you go
Leaving me here on my own
Well I wait for you

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

Please, please, please
Come on and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, out, out
Come on and sing it now, now, now
Come on and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah

[Seareach]

Let's say goodbye with a smile, dear,
Just for a while, dear, we must part.
Don't let the parting upset you,
I'll not forget you, sweetheart.

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

So will you please say hello to the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singing this song.

After the rain comes the rainbow,
You'll see the rain go, never fear,
We two can wait for tomorrow,
Goodbye to sorrow, my dear.

[Cail]

I got rice cooking in the microwave
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say
Hey, I'm doing alright
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup
Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
It's neither drink nor drug induced
No, I'm just doin' alright

And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

It's been fifteen years since I left home
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Give it my best and then I left it alone
Oh I hope they're doin' alright
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A lone wolf there starin' back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord, I guess he's doin' alright

And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

Sometimes its lonely
Sometimes its only me and
The shadows that fill this room
Sometimes I'm fallin', desperately callin'
Howlin' at the moon

Well I might go get me a new tatoo or
Take my old Harley for a three day cruise
Might even grow me a fu man chu

And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

[Seareach]

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Come tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
All in a rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Comin' back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start...

[Endymion9]

Diamonds hold mirrors
and spoon it holds the stars
it's been a long time baby
since i've seen the sun rise like this
make a wish and call it maybe
and give me one more kiss
ooh, i like it like this
ooh, i like it like this

oh josephine

and i know now

still filling every tape

before i turn to rust
i know there ain't no other

it's just sometimes love ain't enough
ooh, love ain't enough

oh josephine
you're dressed in black
oh josephine
your eyes are blue
and i know now
there's no turning back
oh josephine
what will we do?

for a while i was kneeling in tears and powder
for as well i was strung out beyond my means
well i lost that love while climbing down the ladder
just looking for the song to set me free

waited for redemption
no leaving love behind
you've got to know where you wanna be
it gets cold outside
it's too late to play it safe
so let's let it all ride
yeah, let's let it all ride
let it all ride!

oh josephine
you're dressed in black
oh josephine
your eyes are blue
and i know now
there's no turning back
oh josephine
what will we do?
yeah

oh josephine
you're dressed in black
oh josephine
your eyes are blue
and i know, i know
there's no turning back
oh josephine
what will we do?

[Seareach]

One flight down
There's a song on low
And your mind just picked up on the sound
Now you know you're wrong
Because it drifts like smoke
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know

The reeds and brass have been weaving
Leading into a single note

In this place
Where your arms unfold
Here at last you see your ancient face
Now you know
Now you know

The cadence rolls in broken
Plays it over and then goes

One flight down
There's a song on low
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know

"Let My Love Open the Door" by Pete Townsend

When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart

Let my love open the door, ooh
My love open the door
Let my love open the door, ooh
My love open the door

When everything feels all over
When everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four leaf clover
Take all the worry out of your mind

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart

Let my love open the door, ooh
My love open the door (to your heart)
Let my love open the door, ooh
My love open the door

I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say

Let my love open the door
It's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love, that's my love

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart

[Mortice Root]

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

[Seareach]

You said I'm gonna buy this place,
And burn it down,
I'm gonna put it six feet underground,
You said I'm gonna buy this place,
And watch it fall,
Stand here beside my baby and the crumbling walls,
Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire,
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires,
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn,
And do back the things it did to you in return.

Said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
Oh I'm gonna buy this place is what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

Honey all the movements we started to make,
See me crumble and fall on my face,
And I know the mistakes that I've made,
See it all disappear without trace,
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on

Start as you mean to go on

Said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me baby watch the orange glow
Some'll laugh, some just sit and cry
You just sit down then you wonder why

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh To the head, oh

Honey, all the movements we started to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on

As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on

So meet me by the bridge
Oh meet me by the lake
When am I gonna see that pretty face again?
Meet me on the road
Meet me where I said
Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head

[lucimay]

Something in your eyes
Makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself
In your arms.

There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life.

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low.
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done.


Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm on my way back
Where I come from.
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm on my way back
Where I belong.

A window breaks
Down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night.
But I'm all right
'Cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark there's light.

If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch.
If you knew how happy you are making me.
I never thought I'd love anyone so much.

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm on my way back to where I come from.

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm on my way back where I belong.
Feels like I'm on my way back where I belong.

[Seareach]

When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever

When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
My worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
That love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesize
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever

So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever

[Cagliostro]

Hey Charley I'm pregnant again
And living on 9th street
Right above a dirty bookstore
Off Euclid avenue
And I stopped taking dope
And I quit drinking whiskey
And my old man plays the trombone
And he works out at the track.

And he says that he loves me
Even though its not his baby
And he says that he'll raise him up
Like he would his own son
He gave me a ring
That was worn by his mother
And he takes me out dancin
Every saturday nite.

And hey Charley I still think about you
Every time I pass a filling station
On account of all the grease
You used to wear in your hair
And I still have that record
By Little Anthony & the Imperials
But someone stole my record player
How do you like that?

Hey Charley I almost went crazy
After Mario got busted
So I went back to Omaha to
Live with my folks
But everyone I used to know
Was either dead or in prison
So I came back in Minneapolis
This time I think I'm gonna stay.

Hey Charley I think I'm happy
For the first time since my accident
And I wish I had all the money
That we used to spend on dope
I'd buy me a used car lot
And I wouldn't sell any of em
I'd just drive a different car
Every day depending on how I feel.

Hey Charley, for chrissakes
Do you want to know the truth of it?
I don't have a husband
He don't play the trombone
And I need to borrow money
To pay this lawyer
And Charley, hey
I'll be eligible for parole
Come Valentine's Day.
