Title: Hard to Concentrate - The lyrics thread
Post by: Masterpiece on 19 Sep 2014, 21:14
All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this moment to make you my family and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found

One to treasure the rest of your days here and
Give you pleasure in so many ways dear and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found... here we go

Do you want me to show up for duty and
Serve this woman and honor her beauty and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found... yourself

When I first heard this, I thought of GM.  It's by Dave Bromberg, off his new album.  I memorized it as soon as I heard it a second time - it's an acapella solo, in the style of a boasting pub song. 



I am the strongest man alive!
That might sound like idle boasting, but I have no need to lie;
I have lived through storms and tempests not another soul survived;
I am the strongest man alive!

I have carried burdens heavier than human tongue can tell,
I’ve traveled distances untold, been forth and back through hell;
I’ve endured the very worst that man and nature could provide,
I am the strongest man alive! 

I have fought in many battles, though I have not won them all;
it’s a miracle this bruised and battered body breathes at all! 
Oh they say a cat has nine lives, well I’ve lived through four or five –
I am the strongest man alive!

I have cheated death a thousand times, that foul and greedy thief;
but I’ve buried many comrades, which has brought me endless grief. 
I alone live on while all around my friends and loved ones die;
I am the strongest man alive!

It’s the mental anguish that’s the worst of all the pain I’ve had –
where other men have gone insane, I’m only slightly mad! 
And still I bleed, I breathe, I weep through times I’ve wished to die;
I am the strongest man alive! 

Although I am earth’s strongest man, I’m not immune to death;
there’s a motive for each motion, a purpose for each breath,
for without your true and lasting love, I would not – could not – survive; 
although, I am the strongest man alive!

<3 Masterpiece, that is one of my favorite songs!!!

(Carl- I didn't know Dave Bromberg had a new album out. Thanks for sharing. He's awesome :-))

Here's the beginning of another favorite of mine-



As I was walking through a life one morning
The sun was out, the air was warm
But oh, I was cold

And though I must have looked half a person
To tell the tale in my own version
It was only then that I felt whole

Do you believe
In something beautiful?
Then get up and be it.

When did you loose your smile?
Were you walking all alone at night
searching endlessly for a way
to join the pieces of what you used to be?
Let me hold you for a moment

When did you loose your smile
Was it all too much to take at once
that suddenly you felt you had nothing left?

The coldest winter
can’t freeze your heart
one day you’ll see that even
the longest winter passes by
that through the years I’d still give it all
to hold you for a moment

When did your dream fade out?
Did it seem it wasn’t worth it at all?
Then I’ll try another million ways
to make you understand

The coldest winter can’t freeze your heart
one day you’ll see
that I’d give it all to hold you,
that even when all hope is gone
I’d still give it all
to hold you for a moment

One day you’ll see
those heavy clouds will soon make way
for brighter days

One day you’ll see
I’ve been here for you all along
and I will never let go of your hand

One day you’ll see

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands
as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you
that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade
when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade
when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade
choices are made
a price will be paid
when you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade
It's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise
The end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises
Lead broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade
when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade
when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade,
choices are made,
a price will be paid
when you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade
when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade
when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade,
choices are made,
a price will be paid
when you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day (slow fade)
Daddies never crumble in a day (slow fade)
Families never crumble in a day ...

I've been the needle and the thread
weaving figure eights and circles round your head
I try to laugh but cry instead
patiently wait to hear the words you've never said.

Fumbling through your dresser drawer
forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction

Making use of all this time
keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry.

 Spend all your time waiting
 for that second chance
 for a break that would make it okay
 there's always some reason
 to feel not good enough
 and it's hard at the end of the day
 I need some distraction
 oh beautiful release
 memories seep from my veins
 let me be empty
 and weightless and maybe
 I'll find some peace tonight
 
 in the arms of the angel
 fly away from here
 from this dark cold hotel room
 and the endlessness that you fear
 you are pulled from the wreckage
 of your silent reverie
 you're in the arms of the angel
 may you find some comfort here
 
 so tired of the straight line
 and everywhere you turn
 there's vultures and thieves at your back
 and the storm keeps on twisting
 you keep on building the lies
 that you make up for all that you lack
 it don't make no difference
 escaping one last time
 it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
 this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
 
 in the arms of the angel
 fly away from here
 from this dark cold hotel room
 and the endlessness that you fear
 you are pulled from the wreckage
 of your silent reverie
 you're in the arms of the angel
 may you find some comfort here
 you're in the arms of the angel
 may you find some comfort here

Remember when you were young?
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond!

Now there's a look in your eyes,
like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!


You reached for the secret too soon,
you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond!

Threatened by shadows at night,
and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!



By the by, every time I hear Hard To Concentrate now, I think of the Little Cheese. This is good, because I used to think of my ex-girlfriend!

The faint scent of tears
On my rain soaked cheeks
The warm look on the face
Of travelers

The music from our childhood
Faintly echoes in the background
The memories I hopelessly try to remember
Wander aimlessly

But with these tiny wings, launched by my dreams
Over distant oceans and skies
We'll soar together
To a place where memories never fade

You light up the way for me
In the darkness of night
Oh, that warm look
On your face
I miss you so much

There are no flowers, no not this time
There'll be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but i'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me.

I cannot stay here, I cannot leave,
Just like all I loved, I make believe.
Imagine heart, I disappear, seems,
No one will appear here and make me real.

You're a whole different person
You're a whole different person
You're a whole different person
When you're scared

The eagle screams on Friday
The Colts are doomed this year
The fat's finally in the fire
In the Kingdom of Fear
Dangerous creeps are everywhere

You're a whole different person
When you're scared

We have ways to make you talk
You won't like at all
If you can't run, walk
If you can't walk, crawl
But don't look down
It's a long, long fall

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew that life could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light -
tell me what you want me to say

Would you leave me if I told you what I'd done
and would you leave me if I told you what I'd become
'Cause it's so easy to sing it to a crowd, but it's so hard, my love
to say it to you out loud.

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew that life could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light -
tell me what you want me to say

You want a revelation
you want to get it right
But it's a conversation I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
some kind of resolution
you want a revelation

Been singing this to myself a lot, lately. 


She went down last October, in a pouring, driving rain -
the skipper, he'd been drinking, and the mate, he felt no pain;
too close to three mile rock, and she was dealt her mortal blow,
and the Mary Ellen Carter settled low.

There were five of us aboard her, as she fin'ly went awash;
we worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost -
and the groan she made when she went down, it caused us to exclaim
that the Mary Ellen Carter'd rise again! 

The owners wouldn't have it, not a nickel would they spend -
"She gave twenty years of service, lads, and met a sorry end,
but insurance payed the loss to us, so let her lie below!"
Then they laughed at us, and said we had to go. 

But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock -
for she's worth a quarter million, just a-floatin' at the dock;
and with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain
and make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again! 

Rise again, rise again
that her name not be lost to the memory of men -
all those of us who loved her, and were with her 'till the end
will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!


Now we've worked on her all springtime, off a barge lent by a friend;
three dives a day, in hard-hat suits, and twice I've had the bends!
Thank God it's only sixty feet, and the currents here are slow,
or I'd never have the strength to go below. 

But we've patched her rents; stopped her vents; dogged hatch and porthole down,
run cables to her fore and aft, and girded her around;
tomorrow noon we hit the air, and then take up the strain
and make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again! 

For we couldn't let her lie there, just to crumble into scale -
she'd saved our lives so many times, just holding through the gale!
And the drunken rats who laughed at us, and sent us on our way,
well they won't be laughing in another day...

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
with smilin' bastards lyin' to ya, everywhere you go,
turn to and put forth all your strength of heart and arm and brain,
and like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again! 

Rise again, rise again
though your heart, it be broken, and life about to end -
no matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend,
be like the Mary Ellen Carter, and rise again!

Arrrr me hearties 


 ;D









The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early.

The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.
At seven p.m. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, it's been good t'know ya
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the Gales of November remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!

Rings map years, from hush to play
The past, it never disappears
Bereavement can be over written
But the ache still spears old wounds

Eraser rinds dust a rewritten page
The past, it never disappears
It pries you open and reads from you
Before you lost the will to tears

A finger of a life stripped to the marrow
A skeleton with nothing to show
A moment that's not carried downstream
It's something you can't let go
So hold on, with regret and tears
Look to windward
There's the nothing at the other end, but darkness
There's nowhere to return that's home

Strangers forever
Cross that bridge
Look to windward
Go on alone
Strangers forever
Alone with yourself
Look to windward
With regret and tears

Step out beyond the edge
and start the motion
Look out below,
I know there's no decision
Just collision
It's all arranged

too late for me
No reason to recover
If I should choose to rise
I'm still descending
Never ending
I fall
I fall

And we all are sending smoke signals
Keep pretending we're one

Beyond the night, a rising son
Beyond the night, the battle's won
The battle's won

Fear and shame now in the past
Pain and sorrow gone at last
Gone at last

Circle renewed peace will be found
Beyond the night on sacred ground

River flows led by the wind
First new breath, out journey begins
Our journey begins.

Wake up, wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are coming
They're gonna tear your stillhouse down.

Well, the first time I seen darling Corey
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
Had a forty-four around her body
And a banjo on her knee.

Go away, go away darling Corey
Quit hanging around my bed
Your liquor has ruined my body
Pretty women gone to my head.

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Gonna lay darling Corey down.

Well I think it's fine building jumbo planes.
Taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Get what you want to if you want it, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
we're changing day to day,
but tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass
for your lorryloads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough
but they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.

I know we've come a long way,
we're changing day to day,
but tell me, where do the children play?

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air,
will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh? Will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way
we're changing day to day
but tell me, where do the children play?

Tuning out of starlight
The innocent lifetime flickers and flashes
Onto a canvas, no
Nobody seems worth it
And while the feeling's sophisticated
The view is so restrained
The past is nearing closer
and closer I fear

So let's just cut the bullshit
And tell me who's independent
Thumbs twiddling' and your life's escaping your mind

Keep in mind
Well the air ain't free as it used to be
But that's quite alright while your still eighteen
It seems
To be, and I'll tell you who's over-rated
What's a beautiful person with some hideous dreams

While the lining isn't silver
We're verging on the side of the road that'll take us home

The edge of us is getting weighed
Read about your life in your local papers
Realize
The end of us is getting near
You're just a droplet of paint trickled off your canvas

Delirious illusions flowing backwards through the river of color while we analyze it to try see it clearer
Secretly appealing to a lonely prisoner
Now what's your vision?

Initiate your shading, blend the universe together in time
It only gets a little easier
Suddenly piece yourself back together now
What's your vision?

And I don't wanna have to give a damn
About you
Or your inhibitions
After all
You're the one who taught me love
Was not for everybody
However, I'm starting to see this world in the right light
Yet it still gets darker
You see, it's just a simple symphony
Or a painting?
Whatever

This unnatural path
It spins infinitely
But my world is crumbling
Let it collapse
Into the abyss
In the midst of summer it won't exist
This emptiness
Is just a blank slate
Waiting for a painter to interfere
It's quite complex
But what do I know?

fly the wind, it will take me
back to my home, sweet home

Lie on my back
clouds are making way for me
I'm coming home, sweet home

I see your star
you left it burning for me
Mother, I'm here

Eyes open wide
feel your heart and it's glowing
I'm welcome home, sweet home

I take your hand
now you'll never be lonely
Not when I'm home, sweet home

I see your star
you left it burning for me
Mother, I'm here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlfUcnSbKDA)

Never seen a blue sky
  Yeah I can feel it reaching out
  And moving closer
  There's something about blue
  Asked myself what it's all for
  You know the funny thing about it
  I couldn't answer
  No I couldn't answer

  Things have turned a deeper shade of blue
  And images that might be real
  May be illusion
  Keep flashing off and on
  Free
  Wanna be free
  Gonna be free
  And move among the stars
  You know they really aren't so far
  Feels so free
  Gotta know free
  Please
  Don't wake me from the dream
  It's really everything it seemed
  I'm so free
  No black and white in the blue

  Everything is clearer now
  Life is just a dream you know
  That's never ending
  I'm ascending

I like The Real Folk Blues better personally



Or an English cover:
Quote
Too late to let you know, what you mean to me
If I cried I'd only make you believe I was happy
I've got to let you go, and my heart, it aches
But it's worth it, 'cause I swear to god, you're a mistake

Know there could be a day, when the pain will fade
But a part of me is lookin' for you, back on yesterday
I've got to get away, 'cause my heart, it burns
And I know if I keep stickin' around, I won't ever learn

Don't wanna cry
'Cause, baby, I
Can feel freedom when they play

The real folk blues
I need the pain
My unhappiness is proof I'm not insane
'Cause when I'm close to you
I swear, I could die
Need to live my life, yeah, live like I'm alive
And it's a lonely road
Good luck and goodbye

How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound
But in a language that you can't read just yet

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart

You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily
So easily

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart

Ob's stürmt oder schneit, ob die Sonne uns lacht,
Der Tag glühend heiß, oder eiskalt die Nacht,
Bestaubt sind die Gesichter, doch froh ist unser Sinn, ja, unser Sinn.

Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin. (x2)


Mit donnerndem Motor, geschwind wie der Blitz,
Dem Feinde entgegen, im Panzer geschützt
Voraus den Kameraden, Im Kampfe ganz allein, Ja ganz allein.

So stoßen wir tief in die feindlichen Reih'n! (x2)


Wenn vor uns ein feindlicher Panzer erscheint,
Wird Vollgas gegeben und ran an den Feind.
Was gilt denn unser Leben für uns'res Reiches Heer? Ja, Reiches Heer.

Für Deutschland zu sterben ist unsre höchste Ehr'. (x2)


Mit Sperren und Minen hält der Gegner uns auf,
Wir lachen darüber und fahren nicht drauf.
Und droh'n vor uns Geschütze Versteckt im gelben Sand, Ja, gelben Sand.

Wir suchen uns Wege, die keiner sonst fand. (x2)


Und läßt uns im Stich einst das treulose Glück,
Und kehren wir nicht mehr zur Heimat zurück,
Trifft uns die Todeskugel, ruft uns das Schicksal ab, Ja, Schicksal ab.

Dann wird unser Panzer ein ehernes Grab! (x2)

Pretty sure that themselves. You know, for the whole Godwin Index moment of this thread.

And now back to lyrics -


Don't forget me
I was all yours
A drop on your ocean
A face on your wall

Don't forget me
I am too young
To die here in your eyes
To be on the run

But boy you got me seeing stars
Within every word you say
It hits me like a weapon
Till I stumble away

Boy you got me seeing stars
Till I'm spinning around this room
The centre of my world
And I am the moon...



Staring at you
Shielding my eyes
I smile through the tears, but
These lips, they can't lie

Falling slowly
Waiting to land
On some other planet
On some other man

But boy you got me seeing stars
Within every word you say
It hits me like a weapon
Till I stumble away

Boy you got me seeing stars
Till I'm spinning around this room
The centre of my world
And I am the moon...

What does this look like to you?
A mark so fine, you barely see
You have one just like it too
A twisting vine
A mark so fine

'Cause I love you with all I am
And you love me because you are
As fearless as a twisting vine
A mark so fine
But still a scar

Fear plays dumb then eats the soul
Like a vagabond with a fishing pole
He whistles but he cannot sing
It's an awful tune
But very soon
I find that i am whistling, too
And your window is like a star
That I sit beneath like a vagabond
Who wears his fear
Just like a scar

The blade of our outrageous fortune
Like a parade, it cuts a path
Light shows on our foolish way
And darkness on
Our aftermath

If I love you, to save myself
And you love me because we are
So fool to think that our parade
Could leave a path
But not a scar

'Cause I love you with all I am
And you love me because you are
As fearless as a twisting vine
A mark so fine
But still a scar

That's a nazi song.

The Nazis used several German songs that were used before their takeover and are still used today, including Germany's national anthem. The fact that the Nazis co-opted them doesn't make them "Nazi songs," any more than their use of the swastika means that historical buildings and artwork throughout the world that incorporate it are Nazi artifacts.

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

Once there was this kid who
 Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
 But when he finally came back
 His hair had turned from black into bright white
 He said that it was from when
 The car had smashed so hard
 
 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
 
 Once there was this girl who
 Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
 But when they finally made her
 They saw birthmarks all over her body
 She couldn't quite explain it
 They'd always just been there
 
 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
 
 But both girl and boy were glad
 'Cause one kid had it worse than that
 
 'Cause then there was this boy whose
 Parents made him come directly home right after school
 And when they went to their church
 They shook and lurched all over the church floor
 He couldn't quite explain it
 They'd always just gone there
 
 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Well it's no concern of yours my friends, it's no concern of yours
The nail that's sticking up will just get hammered to the board
And it's no concern of yours my friends, it's no concern of yours

It's hard to hold your head up when it's in your hands
To wash off last night's trouble in a clean white shirt
If anyone can do it, I can

And it's no concern of yours my friends, it's no concern of yours
The finest looking apple can be rotten to the core
And it's no concern of yours my friends, it's no concern of yours

We're not here to talk about me
We're here to get things done
'Cause if we do, my daddy won't have ruined both his sons
He's going down
Down
Down

It's no concern of yours my friends, it's no concern of yours
A word can break as easy as it's spoken, snarled or sworn
And it's no concern of yours my friends, it's no concern of yours

When your name is on this building take me out for lunch
After three or four Old Fashioneds, tell me what you've heard
Then you'd better listen closely, I'll only say it once

Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
All alone, all together, all together in the dark

Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air

Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song
Try to be speechless for a minute
If you think you're gonna faint, go out in the hallway
Let them all have your neck

Ada, don't stay in the lake too long
It lives alone and it barely knows you
It'll have a nervous breakdown and fall
Into a thousand pieces around you

Stand inside an empty Tuxedo
With grapes in my mouth, waiting for Ada
Ada, hold onto yourself by the sleeves
I think everything counts a little more than we think

Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air, yeah

One night upon my mountain walls two miles below Fermoy
I met a farmer's daughter all on the mountains high

I said, "My pretty fair maid, my lot to meet you here!
All on this lonesome mountain your beauty shines so clear"

She said, "Young man, be civil, my company forsake,
For its to my good opinion I fear you are some rake."

"If my parents they should come to know
my life there were destroyed
For keeping of your company all on the mountains high."

And he said, "My dear, I am no rake brought up in Venus' train.
But I'm searching for concealment all on the lonesome plain."
"Your beauty so enticed me, I could not pass it by,
But it's with my gun I'll guard you all on the mountains high."

Now her cherry cheeks and her ruby lips they lost their former dye,
And she's fainted into his arms there all on the mountain high.
Now they had not kissed there once nor twice till she came to again,
And at that she asked him, "Pray tell to me your name."

"If by chance you ask for me, perhaps you'll not me find,
I'll be in my castle, enquire for Reynardine."
Sun and dark, she followed him, his teeth did brightly shine
And he led her over the mountain
The sly bold Reynardine.

Waiting for to be confessed
On the floor and all undressed
You can tell me go
Tell me I could stay
But I'll forget you either way
Remember when the house come down
And that dirty romance all around
I believe every word you say
But I forget you every day
When I'm laying on top of that woman
Kind of thing, child, could make me crawl
I mean skin and all
Out on the edge of some canyon
Where I just forget and you can't recall
Now you can't recall
Mama cry and Daddy moan
Starving in some trailer home
Want to burn it down
Burn it where you lay
While I forget you every day

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

I bought a bottle of rum
after a day of boredom
I’m feeling rather glum
and so I chug till I’m numb

It’s a feeling of freedom
I drink my rum and I’m gone
I hear the music in my eardrum
come on and give me some

But is this really what I want to do today?
Is this really the only reason I stay?
So come on baby, take me away.

Another bottle of rum
This is the alcohol’s wisdom:
As long as you don’t succumb
keep drinking until you’re dumb

And is this really what I want to do today?
Is this really the only reason I stay?
So come on baby, take me away.

Some people want to have fun
or need a way to feel handsome
some just don’t like what they’ve become
and so they drink some more rum.

And this is really what I want to do today.
Is threre really a better reason for me to stay?
Get me more rum, and baby we’ll be okay.

I broke free on a saturday morning!

I put the pedal to the floor,
Headed north on Mills Avenue,
Listen to that engine roar!

My broken house behind me,
And good things ahead,
A girl named Kathy wants a little of my time.

Six cylinders underneath the hood,
Crashing and kicking,
Aha, listen to that engine whine!

I am gonna make it through this year,
If it kills me!

I am gonna make it through this year,
If it kills me!

I played video games in a drunken haze,
I was seventeen years young!
Hurt my knuckles punching the machine,
The taste of scotch rich on my tongue.

I am gonna make it through this year,
If it kills me.

I am gonna make it through this year,
If it kills me!

I drove home in the California dusk!

I could feel the alcohol inside me.
Pictured the look on my stepfather's face,
Ready for bad things to come.

Downshifted as I pulled into the driveway.
Motor's screaming out, stuck in second gear,

The scene ends badly, as you might imagine,
In a cavalcade of anger and fear,
I am gonna make it through this year,
If it kills me.

I am gonna make it through this year,
If it kills me.

A river that flows down a mountainside,
it’s hard not to get caught up in the tides.
Time is passing ever so slowly
I still remember the last time you told me
that this was it and it was over now.

I make do with my good friends
new things start when an old thing ends.
It’s been seven years since you last called me
what makes you think that I’d be happy
to hear from you, after all this time?

And I’ll call you back later
I’m not in the mood
Let me call you back later
it won’t do me any good
Call you back later
when you’re out my mind

Fresh water that washes everything away
I think by this riverbed I’ll stay
I don’t see the point why you try hard
you try so hard for a brand new start
when all I hold dear has happened after you?

So I’ll call you back later
I’m not in the mood
Let me call you back later
only if you have been good
Call you back later
you’re not hard to find

Let me call you back later
I’ll call you back later
when you’re out my mind
after all this time?
Get out of my mind!

Time is passing ever so slowly
It’s been seven years since you last called me
you hear a voice that answers “hold the line”.

When I was a young man I carried my pack
 And I lived the free life of a rover
 From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback
 I waltzed my Matilda all over
 Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son
 It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be done
 So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
 And they sent me away to the war
 And the band played Waltzing Matilda
 As we sailed away from the quay
 And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the cheers
 We sailed off to Gallipoli

How well I remember that terrible day
 How the blood stained the sand and the water
 And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay
 We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
 Johnny Turk he was ready, he primed himself well
 He chased us with bullets, he rained us with shells
 And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell
 Nearly blew us right back to Australia
 But the band played Waltzing Matilda
 As we stopped to bury our slain
 We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
 Then we started all over again

Now those that were left, well we tried to survive
 In a mad world of blood, death and fire
 And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive
 But around me the corpses piled higher
 Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit
 And when I woke up in my hospital bed
 And saw what it had done, I wished I was dead
 Never knew there were worse things than dying
 For no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
 All around the green bush far and near
 For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs
 No more waltzing Matilda for me

So they collected the cripples, the wounded, the maimed
 And they shipped us back home to Australia
 The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane
 Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
 And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay
 I looked at the place where my legs used to be
 And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me
 To grieve and to mourn and to pity
 And the band played Waltzing Matilda
 As they carried us down the gangway
 But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared
 Then turned all their faces away

And now every April I sit on my porch
 And I watch the parade pass before me
 And I watch my old comrades, how proudly they march
 Reliving old dreams of past glory
 And the old men march slowly, all bent, stiff and sore
 The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
 And the young people ask, "What are they marching for?"
 And I ask myself the same question
 And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
 And the old men answer to the call
 But year after year their numbers get fewer
 Some day no one will march there at all

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
 Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
 And their ghosts may be heard as you pass the Billabong
 Who'll come-a-waltzing Matilda with me?

Time to Sondheim...

Running away- let's do it,
Free from the ties that bind.
No more despair
Or burdens to bear
Out there in the yonder.

Running away- go to it.
Where did you have in mind?
Have to take care:
Unless there's a "where,"
You'll only be wandering blind.
Just more questions.
Different kind.

Where are we to go?
Where are we ever to go?

Running away- we'll do it.
Why sit around, resigned?
Trouble is, son,
The farther you run,
The more you feel undefined
For what you've left undone
And, more, what you've left behind.

Green finch and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate,
Sitting in cages,
Never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits,
Beckoning, beckoning,
Just beyond the bars.
How can you remain,
Staring at the rain,
Maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing
Anything?
How is it you sing?

Green finch and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
Whence comes this melody constantly flowing?
Is it rejoicing or merely halloing?
Are you discussing, or fussing,
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?

Ringdove and robinet,
Is it for wages,
Singing to be sold?
Have you decided it's
Safer in cages,
Singing when you're told?

My cage has many rooms,
Damask and dark.
Nothing there sings,
Not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know,
When they're captive.
Teach me to be more adaptive.

The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Was a couple of guys, been friends since grade school.

One was named Cyrus, the other was Jeff.
and they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom

The best ever death metal band out of Denton never settled on a name,
But the top three contenders after weeks of debate were Satan's Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital Bombers.

Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed for stage lights and Lear jets, and fortune and fame
So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram, they stencilled their drum heads and guitars with their names

This was why Cyrus got sent to the school, where they told him he'd never be famous
And this was why Jeff, in the letters he'd write to his friend, helped develop a plan to get even

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream
Don't expect him to thank or forgive you.

The best ever death metal band out of Denton will in time both out pace and outlive you,
Hail satan!
Hail satan!
Tonight, hail Satan!
Hail, hail...

In demon days, it's cold inside
You don't get nobody, people sigh
It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself,
Hiding in a hole in there.
All the glasses are far too big bring it back, got to hold it back.
To let you do that yet you don't want me back,
Before it fall down, falling down, falling down,
Falling out to go far, far from the sun.

In these demon days it's so cold inside,
So hard for a good soul to survive.
You can't even trust the air you breathe,
'Cause mother earth wants us all to leave.
When lies become reality, you numb yourself with drugs and TV.
Pick yourself up it's a brand new day, so turn yourself 'round,
Don't burn yourself, turn yourself, turn yourself around.
Into the sun.

 Dreams are like angels
 They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
 Love is the light
 Scaring darkness away-yeah
 
 I'm so in love with you
 Purge the soul
 Make love your goal
 
 [1]-The power of love
 A force from above
 Cleaning my soul
 Flame on burn desire
 Love with tongues of fire
 Purge the soul
 Make love your goal
 
 I'll protect you from the hooded claw
 Keep the vampires from your door
 When the chips are down I'll be around
 With my undying, death-defying
 Love for you
 
 Envy will hurt itself
 Let yourself be beautiful
 Sparkling love, flowers
 And pearls and pretty girls
 Love is like an energy
 Rushin' rushin' inside of me
 
 [Repeat 1]
 
 This time we go sublime
 Lovers entwine-divine divine
 Love is danger, love is pleasure
 Love is pure-the only treasure
 
 I'm so in love with you
 Purge the soul
 Make love your goal
 
 The power of love
 A force from above
 Cleaning my soul
 The power of love
 A force from above
 A sky-scraping dove
 
 Flame on burn desire
 Love with tongues of fire
 Purge the soul
 Make love your goal
 
 I'll protect you from the hooded claw
 Keep the vampires from your door

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

(Get Ready)
My name is KIIIIIIIIIIIID...Kid Rock

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

And this is for the questions that don't have any answers
The midnight glancers and the topless dancers
The candid freaks, cars packed with speakers
The G's with the forties and the chicks with beepers
The Northern Lights and the Southern Comfort
And it don't even matter if the veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
And all my heros in the Methodone Clinic
All you bastards at the IRS
For the crooked cops and the cluttered desks
For the shots of jack and the caps of meth
Half pints of love and the fifths of stress
For the hookers all tricking out in Hollywood
And for my hoods of the world misunderstood
I said it's all good and it's all in fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Love Someone)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Kill Someone)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Love Someone)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Come On)

For the time bombs ticking and the heads that hang
All the gangs getting money and the heads that bang bang
Wild mustangs the porno flicks
All my homies in the county in cell block six
The grits when there ain't enough eggs to cook
And for DB Cooper and money he took
You can look for answers but that ain't fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone

What
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Come On)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

Love, and for the hate
And for the peace.... WARRRRRRRRRRRR

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Come On)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

Been thinking about the lyrics to Opening Doors from Merrily We Roll Along and how they describe pretty much any creative job, especially the choruses:

We're opening doors,
Singing, "Here we are!"
We're filling up days
On a dime.
That faraway shore's
Looking not too far.
We're following every star
There's not enough time!

We're opening doors,
Singing, "Look who's here!"
Beginning to sail
On a dime.
That faraway shore's
Getting very near!
We haven't a thing to fear,
We haven't got time!

They're slamming doors,
Singing, "Go away!"
It's less of a sail
Than a climb.
That faraway shore's
Farther every day.
We're learning to ricochet
We still have a lot to say.

We're banging on doors, shouting, "Here again!"
We're risking it all on a dime.
That faraway shore's looking near again,
The only thing left is when,
We know we should count to ten
We haven't got time!
We haven't got time!

I bet you they won't play this song on the radio.
 I bet you they won't play this new ng song.
 It's not that it's or controversial
 just that the ng words are awfully strong.
 You can't say on the radio,
 or
 or
 or
 You can't even say I'd like to you someday
 unless you're a doctor with a very large .
 So I bet you they won't play this song on the radio.
 I bet you they damn ng wellprogram it.
 I bet you their program directors who think it's a load of horse .

There are days that you spend, you look back on the morning, it feels a million miles away
There are days that you waste, don't you wish you could slip back and cradle them, keep them all locked up and safe?
There are mornings and nights that I've missed more than you, that I've missed like a thought that's just starting to burn
And for all that it's worth and for all that I've loved you I've still got a few things I just won't return
I'll be there to hold you until all the altars are black and the rivers have died in their beds
But I'm living in something, and God only knows that I can't let it all waste away in my head
You look at me, look at me, tell me it's fine, and if so then it's fine for my own peace of mind
But if something is broken then wind all my clocks up, 'cause every mistake is just me running right out of time.

You know that I'm parched, God, I feel so dry, and I'm choking on questions like who, what, and why
while people around me are struggling just to get by,
And they've told me that normal is some sort of curse
they say it could always be worse
but honest to God, I don't care what they said.

'Cause I'm here in the summer, it's humid as hell, and winter's determined to kill me as well,
and if I just died up here, God even knows who they'd tell
And I sang with a hope that they'd read every note,
if you look you can see all the words that I wrote
on my heart, in this ocean, wrapped up in your coat
I was hopelessly trying to keep it afloat
and trying to live, though I feel like the dead.

And dear god, it's just everywhere sometimes, you know?
more vast and more dark than you thought it could grow
that disease always lying beside you in bed.
and I'll try, fuck, I'll try, 'til the sweet bitter end
that the both of us always saw coming, and then
I'll sleep, because living just feels like the dead.

I have left my pretty Saro, and I quit my mother too
I have started out to ramble this country on through
And when I get tired, I will set down and weep
And I'll think of my little darling wherever I sleep

It's not this long journey that I'm a dreadin to go
Or the country I come from, or the debts that I owe
There's just one thing that grieves me, and troubles my mind
It's leaving my little darling way back here behind

If I were a merchant and I could write a fine hand
I would write my love a letter that she'd understand
I would write by the river where the waters o'erflow
And I'd dream of my little Saro wherever I'd go

Oh Saro, pretty Saro please tell me your mind
Do you think me unworthy? Do you think me unkind?
When our life here is over you surely will see
I treated you as kindly as you treated me

Amélie lied to me, this was supposed to be easy
I found the one damn person to help me fall asleep in the night
But sleeping gets tiring, and dark reminds me of dying
And as long as this feeble heart is still beating
You will find me rushing through every room, switching on all the lights

The problem with falling in love in late night bars
Is that there's always more nights, there's always more bars
The problem with showing your lover your scars
Is that everybody's lover is covered in scars

Really don't mind if you sit this one out
My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout
I may make you feel but I can't make you think
Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink.

So you ride yourself over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
you wise men don't know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.

And the sandcastle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction, the moral melee
The elastic retreat rings the gloves of play
as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way

But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
your suntan does rapidly peel and
you wise men don't know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.

And the love that I feel
is so far away
I'm a bad dream that I just had today
and you shake your head and said "it's a shame"

Spend me back down the years and the days of my youth
Draw the leave and black curtains and shut out the whole truth
Spend me down the long ages, let them sing the song.

DADDY'S FLOWN ACROSS THE OCEAN
LEAVING JUST A MEMORY
A SNAP SHOT IN THE FAMILY ALBUM
DADDY WHAT ELSE DID YOU LEAVE FOR ME?
DADDY WHAT'DYA LEAVE BEHIND FOR ME?

ALL IN ALL IT WAS JUST A BRICK IN THE WALL
ALL IN ALL IT WAS ALL JUST BRICKS IN THE WALL

The song I sang for my wife at our wedding:

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

I like to listen to Adam & Joe
But I listen to the podcast, not the live show
I used to feel acute frustration
'Cos I couldn't join in with "Text the Nation"

Now all my troubles have disappeared
Because "Retro Text The Nation"'s heeeere
And now my letter might be read out
Instead of chucked in the bin and forgotten about

LOVE this song. One of precious few that I can play on the piano, and well (it's an easy song to play).

One of the most killer opening lines in music history.

Someone to hold you too close.
Someone to hurt you too deep.
Someone to sit in your chair,
To ruin your sleep.

Someone to need you too much.
Someone to know you too well.
Someone to pull you up short,
And put you through hell.

Someone you have to let in,
Someone whose feelings you spare,
Someone who, like it or not,
Will want you to share
A little, a lot.

Someone to crowd you with love.
Someone to force you to care.
Someone to make you come through,
Who'll always be there,
As frightened as you,
Of being alive,
Being alive.
Being alive.
Being alive!

Somebody hold me too close.
Somebody hurt me too deep.
Somebody sit in my chair,
And ruin my sleep,
And make me aware,
Of being alive.
Being alive.

Somebody need me too much.
Somebody know me too well.
Somebody pull me up short,
And put me through hell,
And give me support,
For being alive.
Make me alive.
Make me alive.

Make me confused.
Mock me with praise.
Let me be used.
Vary my days.

But alone,
Is alone,
Not alive.

Somebody crowd me with love.
Somebody force me to care.
Somebody let me come through,
I'll always be there,
As frightened as you,
To help us survive,
Being alive.
Being alive.
Being alive!
