Back home still with a warm glow, have tidied and am cooking part one of tonight's food - pizza! Later comes part 2, the posh stuff - some sort of fancy veggie pasta melt. Just shove it in the oven! Have a few beers in the fridge, am drinking my oolong tea and listening to today's record purchase, the Beatles red album. Feel very happy. Tonight could be the best new year's eve on record! No worrying about what to wear, no worrying about whether the girl dancing on the other side of the room is ignoring me. No worrying about where I might wake up and in what state! I'm looking forward to my 40s when they arrive, I can imagine more nights like this one!! hehehe.

Jo, the line you picked out was the only one not of mine haha - His Bruceness of Springsteen. From this song, Badlands


Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire
that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
and these badlands start treating us good

Workin' in the fields
till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheel
till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got......

Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these

Badlands

For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin
to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands

StillHere

ahh no wonder it was a bit familiar
have a great time tonight!
no worries

tremors

You say she healed you
And who am I to say she didn't
I hope that it's true
Such intimacy disturbs me though
On that level, on this level
One minute your body is your own
Now it's sold to a revelation
Isn't this how cults start?
I know my disquiet is a man thing
Fear of witches and the like
But mainly I doubt,
doubt not because of my weak sexual jealousy
But because I just don't believe it's gonna work
I don't believe it works
Like this

tremors

Eyes flashing like swords clashing
with mine, you always were
The green hornet
In your beauty lay danger
In your beauty lies danger
And lies lies lies
All you used to feed me
So many lies, you made me sick
Such a thin gruel, thin veil disguising
Yourself
Stretched so thin, your protection
It is common
I've seen it many times since
Disguise yourself from the next one
Until you get your revenge
Every time you get your revenge
Rip out his heart, slice him to ribbons
And move on
Only some days
These days
You're finally tiring of this ritual
But we both know now
Nothing will ever change it
Your real target
Lives, breathes, sleeps

wow .

My life of devastation and desolation
I blame
Cannabis and sexual abuse
I found
Music and martial arts
I trust music and martial arts
I blame cannabis and sexual abuse
I forgive
Everyone and everything else

tremors

Eternal instability
The fear of the fear
Gyroscopic tendency
Nothing more clear
Flee and surrender?
Retreat and retract
A fool's game if ever
there was one to crack
Assume and be stable
Head for the light
It's the demons are shaking
Let them quake tonight
Take courage from something
Courage from hope
And forever simple,
Thank god that you've coped

Eternal instability...

This reminds me a lot of how I used to write (and still do sometimes)

I love this kind of stuff, it's so abstract yet meshes so well on so many levels.

the soft parade

"can you give me sanctuary
i must find a place to hide
a place for me to hide

can you find me soft asylum
i can't make it any more
the man is at
the
door"

thank god that you've coped

that line hits it for me

Thanks guys! Thanks so much for all the feedback.

I feel sanctuary is complete now. This is as far as I can take it. I will try and keep writing, but maybe from some slightly different places.

Love you all!

Wow, thanks electricxlovex - that means a lot to me, probably more than you would guess. I have started a new thread, and starting writing from a different starting point. I'm not sure I've got the hang of it yet though!
