Nothing
Janet Jackson

There’s something I wanna say
Something that I’ve been holding back
Can’t let it go another day
Let me start by saying that

Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, means more than the truth.

And truth is that I realize, love is fading from your eyes
Don’t know how it came to this, but we gonna get it fixed tonight
Cus nothing, nothing,
Nothing, is worth losing you

Tell me what could the problem be, that’s got you drinking way too much
What could it be ’bout us
Don’t you tell me not right now, I can’t let it go
(I can’t let it go, no I can’t let it go, Oh nooo)

What can I do to help you see,
That there’s no need for jealousy or insecurities
I’ll do anything you want
You can even have the password to my phone

Because nothing, nothing
Should come between us
Trust in me
Trust in me

We should cherish every moment like it’s the last
Trust in me
Trust in me

If your issues is with trust, hear me when I tell you this
No one else has shared my love, no one else has had your kiss

Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, can make me forget.

(Noooo)

Forget that you’re a good man and I know that you’ve had it hard
Cus you’re more than adequate, you’re more than I wish for

Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, can make you any less.

Tell me what could the problem be, the past is something I can’t change
It’s a brand new day
Don’t you tell me not right now, I can’t let it go
(I can’t let it go, no I can’t let it go, Oh nooo)

We’ve got to fix this, fix this right this minute
Only pure love can calm the noise
Cus baby when we give pure love
Pure love will never come back to us void

Because nothing, nothing
Should come between us
Trust in me
Trust in me

We should cherish every moment like it’s the last
Trust in me
Trust in me

Regina Spektor - Dusseldorf

In Dusseldorf I met a clown
His nose, it was red
In Gelterkinden I forgot to frown
Then remembered again
In Paris I saw a big fish
Swimming slow in the Siene
It made me hopeful that someday our water
Would be breathable again...

In Frankfurt I heard eins zwei drei
Counting cookies and no one was shot
In Berlin stopped by the Polizei
For drunk driving and everyone smiled
In Prague I knew I'd been a witch
Burnt alive, a pyre of Soviet kitsch
It made me miss my Moscow muttdom
It made me miss my New York nothing...

In Montpelier I stayed in a chateau
A boy climbed into my bed and he knew no boundaries
In Amsterdam I got quite crazy
It might have been all the tulips and canals
Or it might have been all that hash, and in
Barcelon, buenos dias, chocolato, le Picasso
And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel
And in London, me and the French existentialists...

In Corsica I floated away, all the way to Marseilles
I should have held an after party for all the thoughts I didn't say
In Dusseldorf I met a dwarf
With bad breath and a really good tan
In Gelterkinden I remembered how to laugh
And I never ever forgot it again

Halo - Porcupine Tree

God is in my fingers
God is in my head
God is in the trigger
God is in the lead

God is freedom, God is truth
God is power and God is proof
God is fashion, God is fame
God gives meaning, God gives pain

You can be right like me
With God in the hole you're a righteous soul
I got a halo round me, I got a halo round me
I'm not the same as you
Cos I've seen the light and I'm gaining in height now
I got a halo round me, I got a halo round me
I got a halo round my head

God is on the cellphone
God is on the net
God is in the warning
God is in the threat

SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN
(Johnny Cash version - originally writen by Kris Kristofferson)

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing.
Then I headed down the street,
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

Nine Inch Nails- "I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally" (awkward title, good thing he didn't try to fit it in the song. Written for his dead grandmother)

As black as the night can get
Everything is safer now
There's always a way to forget
Once you learn to figure out how

In the blur of serenity
Where did everything get lost?
The flowers of naivity
Buried in a layer of frost

The smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

Thought he had it all before they called his bluff
Found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough
Wanted to go back to how it was before
Thought he lost everything, then he lost a whole lot more

A fool's devotion
Swallowed up in empty space
The tears of regret
Frozen to the side of his face

The smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

I've done all I can do
Can I please come with you?
Sweet smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

[Endymion9]

Boots
The Killers

No more trouble,
In this town.
Silent night, for a change.

Brand new year,
Coming up ahead.
You know its been so long,
Since I rang one in?

I close my eyes,
Think about the path I took.
Just when I think these times,
Have gotten the best of me.

I can see my mother in the kitchen.
My father on the floor,
Watching television.
"It's a wonderful life".

Cinnamon candles burning.
Snowball fights outside.
Smile below each nose and above each chin.

Stomp my boots before I go back in.

I wasted my wishes,
On Saturday nights.
Boy what I would give,
For just one more.

I soften my heart,

Shocked the world.
Do you hear my voice?
Do you know my name?
Light my way,
Lift my head.
Light my way,

I can see my mother in the kitchen.
My father on the floor,
Watching television.
"It's a wonderful life".

Cinnamon candles burning.
Snowball fights outside.
Smile below each nose and above each chin.

Family all together.
Presents piled high.
Frost on all the windows,
What a wonderful night.

Cinnamon candles burning.
Snowball fights outside.
Smile below each nose and above each chin.

So happy they found me,
Love was all around me.
Stomp my boots before I go back in.

Hugh Dillon - Lucky

You know you're a lucky man
Fortune has smiled again
You're still walking the planet

You know you're the lucky one
You should have been done by now
But somehow you've managed

And lucky don't stay
And lucky don't stop
Or call to say hey
And lucky don't turn around
And lucky don't check his messages
Lucky just checks his watch
And heads for the exit

You know you're the lucky one
Luckier than most
You're still walking the planet

You know you're the luckiest
Your memories and ghosts
Are painting over the damage

And lucky don't fade away
And lucky don't turn around
When you say hey
Lucky don't stop at all
Lucky don't return your calls
Lucky just comes and goes
After all

You know you're a lucky man
Luckier than most
Your memories and ghosts

You know you're the luckiest
Fortune has smiled again
You're still walking the planet

You know you're the lucky one
You should have been done by now
But somehow you've managed

To Live Is To Fly
Townes Van Zandt


Won't say I love you babe, I won't say I need you babe
But I'm going to get you babe and I will not do you wrong
Livings mostly wasting time and I waste my share of mine
but it never feels too good so lets not take too long

Your soft as glass and I'm a gentle man
we got the sky to talk about and the world to lie upon
days up and down they come like rain on a conga drum
forget most remember some but don't turn some away
Everything is not enough nothing is too much to bear
where you been is good and gone all you keeps the getting there

To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes

it's goodbye to all my friends its time to go again
think of all the poetry and the pickin down the line
I'll miss the system here the bottoms low and the trebles clear
but it don't pay to think too much on the things you leave behind

I may be gone but it won't be long
I'll be bringing back the melody and the rhythm that I find

we all got holes to fill and them holes are all that's real
some fall on you like a storm sometimes you dig your own
but choice is yours to make time is yours to take
some dive into the sea some toil upon the stone

To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes

[Cameraman Jenn]

One Rainy Wish by Jimi Hendrix



Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
A misty blue and the lilac too
A never to grow old.

A there you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played
A waiting there for me.

I have never
Laid eyes on you
Not like a before
This timeless day
A but you walked and ya ha
Once smiled my name
And you stole
My heart away
A stole my heart away little girl, yeah
All right !

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
A never to grow old.

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, gold are rose, gold and rose.

It's only a dream
I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across rainbows
Above me and you.
Gold and rose the color of the velvet walls surround us.

Boomtown Rats - When The Night Comes

The offices are emptying their pale-faced wards into the street,
Flickering their strip-light eyes, shivering they re-adjust their lives
From the air-conditioned heat.
The humdrum and mundane
Is nearly driving them insane.
But you get hooked so quick to anything
Even your chains,
You're crouching in your corner 'til they open up your cage.

Chorus:
And when the night comes
It'll help you disappear
And when the night comes
Forget about the day that brought you here.

Frankie takes the train and makes it home in time to catch the evening news,
Opening a can of beans he learns the world has turned without much help from him.
Hey Frank, why not get drunk tonight?
Hey Frank, I think it'll be alright,
You'll be too far gone to notice when the neighbors start complaining,
But they're used to it by now, every day's the same.

(repeat chorus)

And when the night comes,
He might get on the phone,
She's a stuck-up bitch,
But she lives on her own,
And he heard her talking dirty to the girls the other day,
And she knew that he had heard her and she looked "as if to say"
And then later up in marketing while going through the files,
She bent a little too far down, then turned around and smiled.
He got her number,
He got the phone,
He dialed the number,
He heard the tone.
He said "Tonight's the night that I've been waiting for,
Oh I know you've seen me worship you from afar,
And I might tell you that I love you and I will but just for
Tonight, one night, alright tonight."
In his three piece cunning camouflage nobody
can guess what Frankie's thinking,
Last night she said "I don't know if I'm drowning
Maybe it's because I'm sinking."
He said "It'll be okay
I'll get outta here one day"
And she said "Frankie, you're no different from any of the rest,
They've nailed you to that table and chained you to your desk."
But when the night comes....

Bob Geldof - Thinking Voyager 2 Type Things

This is the moment that we come alive
I'm handing out the breath and the kiss
I'm electric with the snap and the crackle of creation
I'm mixing up the mud with the spit
So rise up Brendan Behan and like a drunken Lazarus
Let's traipse the high bronze of the evening sky
Like crack crazed kings.

Voyager 2 where are you now
Looking back at home and weeping
Cold and alone in the dark void
Winding down and bleeping
Ever dimmer ever thinner
Feebly cheeping in the solar winds
I'll turn you up
Sail on sail on sail on
On past the howling storms
Through electric orange skies
And blinding methane rain
Sail on
I'll turn you up

Never bring me down to earth again
Let me blaze a trail of glory across the sky
Let me traipse across it's golden high
Let me marvel in wonder and unfettered gaze
At the bigness and implausibility of being

Yes stretch out your hands into infinity you human things
Past blind moons and ice cream worlds
You hurl your metal ball of dull intelligence
And show us all our fragile grip
As we too track with you
Slower but no less insistent
Like the only fertile seed
In the barren vault of being
Sail on
Hurtling towards the waiting tomb of empty worlds
Waiting for the final primary come of life
I'll turn you up

And I'm thinking big things
I'm thinking about mortality
I'm thinking it's a cheap price that we pay for existance
This is the moment that we come alive
This is the breath and this is the kiss

No we're in Paris
In the ball gowns
In the high heels
In the snow
And we're spinning round Versailles in a Volkswagen Beetle
That we'd hired for the day
(At the cheap rate)
The room without the shower was cold again
"Are we already middle-aged", she said
And I said "I feel nothing
I feel like a jelly-fish",
"Mabey it's the Portuguese Men-O-Pause", she joked
And she laughed her brittle head
And we went back to bed
And I've been thinking about these things
I've been thinking about Voyager 2
And this is the moment that we come alive.

'The Great Song of Indifference'

I don't mind if you go
I don't mind if you take it slow
I don't mind if you say yes or no
I don't mind at all

I don't care if you live or die
Couldn't care less if you laugh or cry
I don't mind if you crash or fly
I don't mind at all

I don't mind if you come or go
I don't mind if you say no
Couldn't care less baby let it flow
'Cause I don't care at all

Na na na, etc.

I don't care if you sink or swim
Lock me out or let me in
Where I'm going or where I've been
I don't mind at all

I don't mind if the government falls
Implements more futile laws
I don't care if the nation stalls
And I don't care at all

I don't care if they tear down trees
I don't feel the hotter breeze
Sink in dust in dying sees
And I don't care at all

Na na na etc.

I don't mind if culture crumbles
I don't mind if religion stumbles
I can't hear the speakers mumble
And I don't mind at all

I don't care if the Third World fries
It's hotter there I'm not surprised
Baby I can watch whole nations die
And I don't care at all

I don't mind I don't mind I
don't mind I don't mind
I don't mind I don't mind
I don't mind at all

Na na na etc.

I don't mind about people's fears
Authority no longer hears
Send a social engineer
And I don't mind at all

Just heard STP's Plush as the break-background music on a political radio show while driving around-first I got the tune stuck in my head, and now, I've got the lyrics stuck:

And I feel that times a wasted go
So where ya going to tomorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And I feel it

Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And she feels it

Where ya going to tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it

Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
To find it
To find it
To find it

(must be this dam Erikson I'm reading, I've gone to the dogs...LOL)

Royal Jelly - Dewey Cox

Mailboxes drip like lampposts
In the twisted birth canal of the coliseum
Rim job fairy teapots mask the temper tantrum
O' say, "Can you see 'em?"

Stuffed cabbage is the darling of the Laundromat
'N' the sorority mascot sat with the lumberjack
Pressing, passing, stinging half synthetic fabrications of his time

The mouse with the overbite
Explained how the rabbits were ensnared
'N' the skinny scanty sylph trashed the apothecary diplomat
Inside the three-eyed monkey within inches of his toaster oven life

In my mind, I'm half blind
My inner ref is mostly deaf
I'm smell impaired if you cared
My sense of taste is wasted
On the phosphorescent orange peels
Of San Francisco axe-encrusted frenzy

So let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Where the Royal Jelly gets made

Coloratura singers bringing weeds and social clingers
Hangers-on and fancy flinger's to the dress ball
Mushrooms and bowling pins
Stove pipe hats and other things I can't recall from Juvenile hall

We're so unlucky and stuff
Woodrow Wilson never had it so tough
Dairy Queen and Vaseline and Maybelline
Paul Bunyan and James Dean

Allegory agencies of pre-Raphaelite paganry
And Shenandoah tapestries compared with good mahogany
Collapsing the undying postcard romance

With feline perspicacity by the university
That night I held a paucity
Which you deemed common courtesy
I wasn't what you thought I'd be
I shouldn't have invited you to dance

In my tree I'm halfway free
And in my chair one quarter there
In my dream one-sixteenth cream
In the coffee of the courtier
Of the sycophant assistant to the king

So let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Where the Royal Jelly gets made
You're a liar

The Tea Party - Soulbreaking


if fate holds a purpose
you feel fate will lend a hand
it saves face deserts you
it deals grace from underhand
and every time the past's awakened
every time your soul starts breaking

you can't stand the distance
you can't stand to not be afraid
you won't show resistance
you can't seem to run away
because every time the past's awakened
every time your soul starts breaking

in the face of the fire
you see angels conspire
will they hear your desires
will they stop your soulbreaking
could they stop your soulbreaking

you won't say you're hurting
you still dream in the undertow
just a safe place a haven
just a kind face just to overthrow
every time the past's awakened
every time your soul starts breaking

in the face of the fire
you see angels conspire
will they hear your desires
will they stop your soulbreaking
could they stop your soulbreaking
will they stop your soulbreaking
could i stop your soulbreaking
please love

every time the past's awakened
every time my soul starts breaking

The Cramps - TV Set

Oh baby I see you on my tv set.
Yeah baby I see you on my tv set.
I cut your head off and put it in my tv set.
I use your eyeballs for dials on my tv set.
I watch tv... I watch tv..
Since I put you in my tv set.

Oh baby I hear you on my radio.
Yeah baby I hear you on my radio.
You know I flip flip flip for my radio.
You're going drip drip drip on my radio.
AM radio... PM radio...
Since I tuned you inside my radio.

Oh baby I see you in my frigidaire.
Yeah baby I see you in my frigidaire.
Behind the mayonnaise, way in the back,
I'm gonna see you tonight for a midnight snack.
But though it's cold... you won't get old...
'Cause you're well-preserved in my frigidaire.

Oh baby, look so good in my crib at night.
Yeah baby, look so good in my crib at night.
I could give you a million hugs,
You look so good all covered up in bugs.
Oh, I missed some there... under your chair...
But that's all right, I'll sweep you under the rug.

Oh baby I see you on my tv set.
Yeah baby I see you on my tv set.
I cut your head off and put it in my tv set.
I use your eyeballs for dials on my tv set.
I watch tv... I watch tv...
Since I seen you, I've been so upset.
