I'd Like Your hair Long - Hum

I'd like your hair long and laid on to the ground
You'd prefer an astronaut
Someone to relate to and someone to command
And I would be a simple man

I could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
And synchronize and shine
A wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
It's still the same to me

It's a waste of a song
You're a waste of my lungs
It's a waste of a song

I'd like your face gone and in its place the sun
And I would be an astronaut
For I have come to surface to catch some light and feed
And I have everything I need

And I could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
And synchronize and shine

A wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
You're still the same to me
You're a waste of a song

You're a waste of my lungs
It's a waste of a song

I sit around and watch the tube
But nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors and I'm fuckin' lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this Velcro seat
And get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell and I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smell like shit

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for no motivation
Smoking my inspiration

I sit around and watch the phone
But no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost its fun, you're fuckin' lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes
I'm slipping away to paradise
Some say, quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth

Tears and Pain - James Blunt

ddHow I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning

I guess it's time I run far, far away, find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

I guess it's time I run far, far away, find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble
Far, far away, find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain

Oh
Tears and rain
Oh
Tears and rain

Far, far away, find comfort in pain

All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain

Tom's Diner - Suzanne Vega

I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in

"It is always nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
And I'm pretending not to see them
And instead I pour the milk

I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm turning to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head

There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside, does she see me?
No, she does not really see me
'Cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair has gotten wet

Oh, this rain, it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice
And of the midnight picnic once upon a time
Before the rain began...
And I finish up my coffee
And it's time to catch the train

----

Happy birthday, brotha.

Happy birthday, godson.

Shadow Over Me - Nine Inch Nails

Hard to tell if I'm awake anymore

Hard to know for sure

In this dream, used to think I believe

Hard to know for sure

I know what I am, I know who I am

And I know what I have to do

I know what I am, I know who I am

But what if everything is true?

I got a shadow over me

I am not what I appear to be

And I know that you believe in me

And it feels so real, and it feels so re—

Yes, everything is fine, fine, fine, fine

We're running out of time, time, time, time

Yes, everything is fine, fine, fine, fine

We're running out of time, time, time, time

Here I stand, indiscrete, obsolete

Now I know for sure

Poisoned thoughts infiltrate, eradicate

Now I know for sure

I know what I am, I know who I am

And I know what I have to do

I know what I am, I know who I am

But what if everything is true?

I got a shadow over me

I am not what I appear to be

And I know that you believe in me

And it feels so real, and it feels so real

I got a shadow over me

I am not what I appear to be

And I know that you believe in me

And it feels so real, and it feels so re—

Yes, everything is fine, fine, fine, fine

We're running out of time, time, time, time

Make sure you stay in line, line, line, line

We're running out of time, time, time, time

Make sure you stay in line, line, line, line

We're running out of time, time, time, timesssss

Zombie - The Cranberries

Another head hangs lowly

Child is slowly taken

And the violence caused such silence

Who are we mistaken

But you see it's not me

It's not my family

In your head, in your head

They are fighting

With their tanks and their bombs

And their bombs and their guns

In your head, in your head

They are cryin'

In your head, in your head

Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey

What's in your head, in your head

Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey, oh

Dou, dou, dou, dou

Another mother's breakin'

Heart is taking over

When the violence causes silence

We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme

Since nineteen-sixteen

In your head, in your head

They're still fightin'

With their tanks and their bombs

And their bombs and their guns

In your head, in your head

They are dyin'

In your head, in your head

Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey

What's in your head, in your head

Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hey, oh, ya, ya-a

Self Esteem - Offspring

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man 'cause I like the abuse
Now I know she's playing with me
That's okay 'cause I've got no self-esteem

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

We make plans to go out at night
I wait 'til 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

When she's saying, oh that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care, right? Yeah

Now I'll relay this little bit
Happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no but
It's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

When she's saying, oh that she want's only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care

Right?
Yeah yeah yeah

Movie Star - Cracker

Well the movie star, well she crashed her car

But everyone said she was beautiful even without her head

Everyone said she was dangerous

Well the chief of police kept the crime off the streets

Deep in his heart, we all knew he felt differently

We all knew he was an anarchist

Well I, I'd like to devour you

But you, you'd probably devour me

For your golden wheat, for your oat bran head

Deep in my heart

Girl you're a beautiful animal

I'll put a tag on your ear

Here we go!

Well the movie star, well she crashed her car

But everyone said she was beautiful even without her head

Everyone said she was dangerous

Superman's Dead - Our Lady Peace

Do you worry that you're not liked?

How long 'til you break

You're happy 'cause you smile

But how much can you fake?

An ordinary boy, an ordinary name

But ordinary's just not good enough today

And ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo

Why-ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah, Superman's dead

You worry about the weather and

Whether or not you should hate

Are you worried about your faith?

Kneel down and obey

You're happy you're in love

You need someone to hate

An ordinary girl, an ordinary waist

But ordinary's just not good enough today

Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, I'm thinking

Far Behind - Candlebox

Now maybe

I didn't mean to treat you bad

But I did it anyway

And then maybe

Some would say your life was sad

But you lived it anyway

And so maybe

Your friends, they stand around, they watch you crumble

As you falter to the ground

And then someday

Your friends, they stand beside as you were flyin'

Oh, you were flyin' oh-so high

But then someday, people look at you

For what they call their own, they watch you suffer

Yeah, they hear you calling home

And then someday, we could take our time

To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us

Hey, but you left me far behind

Now maybe

I didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad

But I did it anyway

Now I'm saying, but maybe

Some would say you're left with what you had

But you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no

Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer

Now maybe

I could have made my own mistakes

But I live with what I've known

And then maybe

We might share in something great

Won't you look at where we've grown

Won't you look at where we've gone

And then someday comes, tomorrow holds

A sense of what I fear for you in my mind

As you trip the final line

And that cold day when you lost control

Shame you left my life so soon, you shoulda told me

Hey, but you left me far behind

Now maybe

I didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad

Oh, but I did it anyway

Now maybe

Some would say you're left with what you had

Oh, but you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no, no

But maybe

I said maybe

Didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad

Oh, but I did it anyway, no

So m-maybe, now, oh Lord, baby

Some would say you're left with what you had

But you couldn't share the pain

Now I've said, now, times have changed, your friends they come

And watch you crumble to the ground

They watch you suffer

Yeah, they hold you down, hold on down

Said maybe love, oh, maybe love

Didn't mean to treat you bad

But you left me far behind

Left me far behind

First Date Locations?

I caught a Facebook post from a local news reporter, which outlined places women should not be taken on a first date. I submit this list for your consideration:

Your thoughts?

The Flag - Barenaked Ladies

The phone rings, it's early, it's seven o'clock
He says "Sorry I woke you, but I just had to talk"
You know last night, remember when I tried to choke you
I didn't mean it, I was drunk, it was only a joke

You should know that by now
When the checkered flag comes down
No one, no one, no one has won the race

The next night he's over and over and under
And after he's finished she lies there and wonders
Just why does she need him and why does she stay here?
And then in the darkness she'll quietly say "Dear"

You've never really known
That when the white flag is flown
No one, no one, no one has won the war

They're complicated people leading complicated lives
And he complicates their problems telling complicated lies
He tells her he's sorry, she tells him it's over
He tells her he's sorry, she says over and over

You've never really known
That when the white flag is flown
No one, no one, no one has won the war

There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird
There goes a partridge and there goes a go train
There goes an angel and there goes a steeple
There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle
There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
The ribbons the ribbons, the ribbons of the flag
Of the flag
Of the flag
Of the flag

Degenerated - Lone Rangers

What's Johnny doing out on a Tuesday night?
Johnny can’t read, Johnny can't write
Kids just don't understand
Johnny don’t care about the world
As long as he can do his girl
And prove that he's a man

He got wasted, eating ludes
He's teenage and best of all
Getting high proving he's cool
Johnny hates to think that he's ignorant
He's a mindless brainwashed bitch
Ring a bell and he starts to drool

Degenerated
Degenerated
And our minds are vegetated

Degenerated
Degenerated
Our actions are imitated

He's got PCP in his veins
He's gonna put a bullet in his brains
Addicted to the TV
When he’s old he’s gonna have a son
I said they'll both be a deaf and dumb
What’s to be come of young Johnny?

Degenerated
Degenerated
And our minds are vegetated

Degenerated
Degenerated
All our actions are imitated

Degenerate

"You know, 'Relax to the mellow sounds of The Rain on KPPX.'"

The sounds of the rain, a beer, and some FCP work. Not a bad moment, methinks.

Take It All Away - Gravity Kills

Give in

Open your eyes up to

What you think I'm feeling

Look through

You're pulling me down in

Where you've seen so many

Drowning

Into your water blue

I feel my heart stop beating

Burning

My cross I made for you

My cancer won't stop eating

You wanted too much from all of me

I wanted too much from all of you

I wanted too much from everything I need

Won't you take it all away

I said, won't you take it all away

I don't think you'll make it

Before the door is closing

Don't think that you believe in

Everything you see

I don't think you'll make it

You hear my world exploding

I wanted all too much

From everything

Won't you take it all away

I said, won't you take it all away

Give in

Open your eye's up to

What you think I'm feeling

Floating

Right above you

I fall down below you

I need way too much

From everything

Take it all away

Won't you take it all away

I said, won't you take it all away

Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews Band

You've got your ball, you've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again
Who's got their claws in you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock and sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost
For you

Oh, when you come crash, into me
And I come into you
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy
For you

Oh, when you come crash into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you to forgive me, oh, in my haste
When I'm holding you so girl
Close to me

And you come crash into me, baby
And I come into you
Oh, hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

Oh, I watch you there through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you wear it so well
Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me

Come crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me

I'm the king of the castle
And you're the dirty rascal, crash into me

Closer - Nine Inch Nails

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

(Help me) I broke apart my insides
(Help me) I've got no soul to tell
(Help me) the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything
you tear down my reason

(Help me) it's your sex I can smell
(Help me) you make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

Through every forest
Above the trees
Within my stomach
Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey
Inside your hive
You are the reason
I stay alive

Superman - Goldfinger

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to keep
The ground on my feet
It seems the world's falling down around me
The nights are all long
I'm singing this song
To try and make the answers more than maybe
And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of sheep
My mind is racing faster every minute
But could I do more?
Yeah, I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles but I can't quit

And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

Controlling everything in sight
Feeling weak, I don't feel right
You're telling me I have to change
Telling me to act my age
But if all that I can do
Is just sit and watch time go
Then I'll have to say goodbye
Life's too short to watch it fly
To watch it fly

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

How are you doing? Hanging in there? You got this. Keep it up.

Leroy - Wheatus

He's got the dirtiest shoes that I ever seen
Chew on a blunt, wipe his butt with a magazine
Smokin' his crack, wash it down with gasoline
Still he push the button, E.F. Hutton when he speaks to me

Oh, you know he told me, "Shake it, don't break it
It took too damn long to make it"

Leroy is my mojo man
Leroy is my mojo man
He come, he take me by the hand
'Cause Leroy is my mojo man tonight, alright

He's just a pimp with a limp and some Vaseline
Told me to "Look over there", stole my nectarine

Said, "Don't turn your back on me black, I'm a sex machine"
Still he push the button, E.F. Hutton when he speaks to me

Oh you know he told me
"Shake it, don't break it; It took too damn long to make it"

Leroy is my mojo man
Leroy is my mojo man
He come, he take me by the hand
'Cause Leroy is my mojo man tonight, alright

Oh you know its
"Shake it, don't break it; It took too damn long to make it"
"Shake it, don't break it; It took too damn long to make it"

Leroy is my mojo man
Leroy is my mojo man
Come and take me by the hand
'Cause Leroy is my mojo man tonight, alright

A guy stopped at a local gas station, and after filling his tank, paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the road.

One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. Then the other man would come along behind him and fill in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind, filling in the hole. The men worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down the road.

"I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can into a trash container and heading down the road toward the men. "Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here, with all this digging and refilling?"

"Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," one of the men said.

"But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the taxpayers' money?"

"You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there are three of us: me, Elmer and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree and Leroy, here, puts the dirt back. Now just because Elmer's sick, that doesn't mean that Leroy and me can't work!"

New Girl - Suicide Machines

Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl

(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)

And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl

(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)

When we were together you tried to break my heart

Said you always did your best at keeping us apart

Said now you're dead and gone and I've got a new thing going

I can't wait to see your face when you and your friends show up

So I've got a, I got a new girl

Something makes you think that you're some kinda winner

Said you want to get married and cook somebody dinner?

Said you're making fun of me 'cause I'm young and got no money

I've got no time for school books 'cause I got no time to study

Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl

(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)

And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl

So I've got a, I got a new girl

Hey

You're the type of girl that any guy would die for

That's the way it looks and I'm really glad you think so

So concerned with friends and your popularity

That you never even took the time to see the real me

Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl

(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)

And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl

(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)

So I've got a, I got a new girl

He can't wait to tell you about

This one

New girl

Good on ya, brotha. Hope it all goes well. Wish ya the best on your future endeavors.

As Alive As You Need Me To Be - Nine Inch Nails

The way it makes me feel, infection

It's almost like a tongue on the back of my neck

I never had a choice, connection

I never had a chance to catch my breath

It's eating up the space between us

It's eating up all remaining doubt

It's filling up the hole inside you

It's trying to find a way to let itself out

Give me something to believe in

All these hands have got a hold of me

Give me something to believe in

As alive as you need me to be

Always going to go this way, there's no turning back

Never any other way, there's no turning back

Everything for a reason, everything for a reason

Give me something to believe in

All these hands have got a hold of me

Give me something to believe in

As alive as you need me to be

Feel

I can finally feel

This infection

Feel

I can finally feel

This infection

Feel

I can finally feel

Feel

I can finally feel

Feel

I can finally feel

Feel

I can finally feel

The Underdog - Spoon

Picture yourself in the living room

Your pipe and slippers set out for you

I know you think that it ain't too far

But I

I hear the call of a lifetime ring

Felt the need to get up for it

Oh, you cut out the middleman

Get free from the middleman

You got no time for the messenger

Got no regard for the thing that you don't understand

You got no fear of the underdog

That's why you will not survive

I wanna forget how conviction fits

Mmm, but can I get out from under it?

Can I gut it out of me?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It can't all be wedding cake

It can't all be boiled away

I try but I can't let go of it

Can't let go of it, no

'Cause you don't talk to the water boy

And there's so much you could learn

But you don't wanna know

You will not back up an inch ever

That's why you will not survive

The thing that I tell you now

It may not go over well

Oh, and it may not be photo-op

In the way that I spell it out

But you won't hear from the messenger

Don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand

You got no fear of the underdog

That's why you will not survive, right!

Copy of A - Nine Inch Nails

I am just a copy of a copy of a copy
Everything I say has come before
Assembled into something into something into something
I am never certain anymore
I am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow
Always trying to catch up with myself
I am just an echo of an echo of an echo
Listening to someone's cry for help

Look what you had to start
Why all the change of heart?
Well you need to play your part
A copy of a copy of a
Look what you've gone and done
Well that doesn't sound like fun
See I'm not the only one
A copy of a copy of a

I am little pieces little pieces little pieces
Pieces that were picked up on the way
Imprinted with a purpose with a purpose with a purpose
A purpose that's become quite clear today

Look what you had to start
Why all the change of heart?
Well you need to play your part
A copy of a copy of a

4th of July - Soundgarden

Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down

Cool in the waterway where the baptized drown

Naked in the cold sun, breathing life like fire

I thought I was the only one, but that was just a lie

'Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the 4th of July

Pale in the flare light, the scared light cracks and disappears

And leads the scorched ones here

And everywhere no one cares, the fire is spreading

And no one wants to speak about it

Down in the hole, Jesus tries to crack a smile

Beneath another shovel load

And I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the 4th of July

I heard it in the wind

Then I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the 4th of July

July, July

Yeah, ooh, oh

But now I'm in control, now I'm in the fallout

Once asleep but now I stand

And I still remember your sweet everything

Light a Roman candle and hold it in your hand

'Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the 4th of July

I heard it in the wind

Then I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

Thought it was the 4th of July, yeah

Says "I don't owe him nothing
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or try again tomorrow"

I'm gonna kick tomorrow

She just don't know (don't know, don't know)
What else to do about it

I feel naked without it"

I want 'em if they want me
I only know they want me

She takes a swing but she can't hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know (don't know, don't know)
What else to do about it

The Day I Tried To Live - Soundgarden

I woke the same as any other day

Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you

Randall - Wheatus

1, 2, 3, 4,

My name is Randall,

No I don't think I've met you before my friend,

I don't really know you,

My name is rock star,

Tell me aren't you sick of me yet, my friends,

'Cause I am the asshole,

Who thinks that his advise is all you need to survive,

Give me the sound of the crowd,

Give me the people who know all the lyrics,

Give me the face of the kid in the front,

When he realises what the song is about.

Do run run, do run run,

Randall here they come,

Do run run, do run run,

Randall here they come,

Do run run, do run run,

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver - Primus

Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver
And she shows it off to all her friends
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her
So she caged him up with cyclone fence
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said, "Recognize that smell?
Smells like seven layers
That beaver eats Taco Bell"

Now Rex, he was a Texan out of New Orleans
And he travelled with the carnival shows
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars
And he candied up his nose
He got wind of the big brown beaver
So he though he'd take himself a peek
But the beaver was quick and he grabbed him by the kiwis
And he ain't pissed for a week and a half

Now Wynona took her big brown beaver
And she stuck him up in the air
Said, "I sure do love this big brown beaver
And I wish I did have a pair"
Now the beaver once slept for seven days
And it gave us all an awful fright
So I tickled his chin and I gave him a pinch
And the bastard tried to bite me

Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time
She pricked her finger one day and it occurred to her
She might have a porcupine

Let Me Go - Cake

When she walks
She swings her arms, instead of her hips
When she talks she moves her mouth, instead of her lips
I've waited for her for so long
I've waited for her for so long
I've wondered if I could hang on
I've wondered if I could hang on

"Let me go," she said
"Let me go," she said
Let me go and I will want you more
Let me go, let me go
Let me go and I will want you

When she wants
She wants the sun instead of the moon
When she sees
She sees the stars inside of her room
I've waited for her for so long
I've waited for her for so long
I've wondered if I could hang on
I've wondered if I could hang on

"Let me go," she said
"Let me go," she said
Let me go and I will want you more
"Let me go," she said
Let me go
Let me go, and I will want you

"Let me go," she said
"Let me go," she said
"Let me go," she said
Let me go, let me go

Kingdom - Downstait

Adrenaline, in my soul
Every thought out of control
Do it all to get them off their feet
Crowd is here, about to blow
Waitin' for me to start the show
Out the curtain, lights go up I'm home
(Whoa!)

And my father said, when I was younger
Hard times breed better men (better men!)

You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom

Lights go down, I'm ready now
Tear this roof off for the town
Gonna give 'em what they came to see
Hear the crowd, on their toes
Ready for me to start the show
Out the curtain, lights go up I'm home
(Whoa!)

And my father said, when I was younger
Hard times breed better men (better men!)

You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom

You tried to tell me what to do
I saw the door and kicked it down
I stepped right over and right through
And you can never stop me now
(Bow!) (Now!)
I am the king and you're the crown
Now watch me as I take my throne
And rule my kingdom

You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom
You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom

Now you bow to me

Why Should You Come When I Call? - Counting Crows

It's 1:30 in the morning
that's alright by me
you just waiting by the phone
I should give a little warning
but I need the things I need
I'm not proud to need a hand
but I just don't understand

So, Why should you come when I call
I never say nothing at all
why do I go, when I go
it's leaving me here all alone
You ought to get out on your own

ain't necessarily a bad thing
to believe the things I say
cause you can make yourself feel good
you know it's really not a good thing
to give everything to me
I'm just waiting for the show
cause I got no where to go

So, Why should you come when I call
I never say nothing at all
why do I go, when I go
it's leaving me here all alone
you ought to get out on your own

Cause nothing makes me feel so good
gets me high
so I sleep at night
and that's enough and everything
alright
I feel nice
so sorry in the morning
could believe what you believe
I'm used to waking up alone
And if you think about it
anyone you think about is a better love than me
but if you've not fallin' quite asleep?
I might call tonight
if that's alright

why should you come when I call
I never say nothing at all
why do I go, when I go
it's leaving me here all alone
you ought to get out on your own
