goldrush

tell mr. man with impossible plans
to just leave me alone.
in a place where i make no mistakes
in a place where i have what it takes.

i'm never gonna know you now
but i'm gonna love you anyhow.

this has just come on my ipod and i haven't heard it in ages - classic

I, James Robert Injustice,
being of unsound body and mind,
hereby bequeath all my worldly goods
to anyone who wants 'em.

The debts that I got from gambling,
the warrant for my arrest
All my bills which are 'now outstanding'
and the bullet holed inside my chest.

Give my body to medical science
if medical science will have me.
They can take my lungs and kidneys
but my heart belongs to Daphne.

Leave a night light beside my deathbed baby,
turn the pillows and change the sheets.
But don't switch on my electric blanket
till it's time to sleep.

This is my second to last will and testament,
only a rough draft, a hand written estimate.
Left on the shelf never signed or delivered
with a picture of myself on a boat by the river.

Don't bury me at sea the pollution might kill me
just put my remains in a cheap box and grill me
My pension and dole are there in the wardrobe
my air cushioned soul and my Blue Circle overcoat.

I've left you no answers
just hundreds of questions
This is my second to last will and testament
before I, James Robert Injustice,
being of unsound body and mind,
die

She came in from the cold, wet.
Dropped her luggage bags, looked the concierge in the eye.
Said‚ "I need a room for the night, but I don't got no money.
Would you take payment in kind?"

He said‚ "It's alright. I've got a room here you can share mine.
Make the bed in the morning and that'll do fine.
You can change in the bathroom, hang your clothes on the line."
A tear came to her eye as she thought‚ "How could he be so kind?"

How could he be so kind? How could he be so kind?

She sat down on the bed with a needle.
He said, "I'd hate to see you bleed.
I'll just fetch a warm towel and sit with you til you're dry."
She started to cry, saying‚ "Why‚ why, why,why, why?"

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness...
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness...


She was cold turkey. He was holding her hand.
She said, "I was ruined by a man‚ and this was never in my plans.
I dreamed of men who loved me, together we'd see the world.
But somehow I lost myself among the insults they hurled."

"I'm sure you're a wonderful woman,
and someday there'll surely be someone.
So just relax now, it's important that you're calm."
She said‚ "How is it you can see past me as I am?"

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness...
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness...

When you took your chances it was like you placed a bet
And sometimes this is the reward you can get.
I was always taught whenever you see someone defiled,
You should look them in the eye and smile.
Take their hand or better still, take them home.
Home. Home...

She awoke early in the morning,
Made the bed and gathered up her clothes to leave.
Saw the concierge curled on the settee,
And said, "What you did for me is hard for me to believe."

"I was just doing what was right.
No one that knows love could leave you out there on such a night.
If you can help someone, bear this in mind,
and consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness."

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness...
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness...

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Porch

A hierarchy
Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
A sore loser
Yelling with my mouth shut

A cracking portrait
The fondling of trophies
The null of losing
Can you afford that luxury?
A sore winner
But Ill just keep my mouth shut

It shouldnt bother me
But it does

The small victories
The cankers and medallions
<<<the little nothings>>>
They keep me thinking
That someday
I might beat you
But Ill just keep my mouth shut

It shouldnt bother me
But it does

If I speak at one constant volume
at one constant pitch
at one constant rhythm
Right into your ear,
you still wont hear
You still wont hear
You still wont hear
You still wont hear
You still wont hear
You still wont hear
You still wont hear

Does it diminish your
super-capacity to love

Walk like a matador,
don't be chicken-shit
and turn breezes into rivulets

flamenco-sweep the air
and weave the sun
and stamp your feet for everyone

Does it exhibit your
natural tendency to hate

Maybe a prostitute
could teach you
how to take a compliment

maybe I'll go to New York,
I'll drag you there
you said, "no one drags me
anywhere"

Does it diminish your
super-capacity to love

Check it out
Going out
On the late night
Looking tight
Feeling nice
It's a fight
I can tell
I just know
That it's going down
Tonight
At the door we don't wait 'cause we know them
At the bar six shots just beginning
That's when d**khead put his hands on me
But you see

I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh

Midnight
I'm drunk
I don't give a f**k
Wanna dance
By myself
Guess you're outta luck
Don't touch
Back up
I'm not the one
Buh-bye
Listen up
It's just not happening
You can say what you want to your boy friends
Just let me have my fun tonight
Alright

I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight

In the corner with your boys you bet up five bucks
To get at the girl that just walked in, but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spilling your drinks on me, yeah

You know who you are
High fivin' and talkin' smack
But you're going home alone, aren't 'cha?

'Cause I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over
Know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight.

I see myself on T.V., I'm a faker, a paper clown
It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie; I just bring
them down
I claim proneness to exaggeration
But the truth lies in my frustration
The children of the night, they all pass me by
Have to drench myself in brandy
In sleep I'll hide
But however much I booze
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my
responsibilities
Are the problems that screw me up really down to him or me
My ego will just confuse me
Some day it's going to up and use me
Dish me out another tailor-made compliment
Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent
And however much I squirm
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!

Then the night comes down like a cell door closing
Suddenly I realize that I'm right now, I'm on the scene
While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head
a-floating
Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me
And on at me, and I don't care what you say
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Now the walls are all clawed and scratched
Like by some soul insane
In the morning I humbly detach myself
I take no blame
I just can't face my failure
I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor
You at home can easily decide what's right
By glancing very briefly at the songs I write
But it don't help me that you know
This ain't no way out
Won't somebody tell me?
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Give me the key, lock it away

There ain't
There ain't
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day

Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited til so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day

It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom

CHRISTMAS SONG
(Dave Matthews)

She was his girl; he was her boyfriend
Soon be his wife; take him as her husband
A surprise on the way, anyday, anyday
One healthy little giggling dribbling baby boy
The wise men came three made their way
To shower him love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love love love
Love love love
Love, love is all around

Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary for a reasonable fee, less than
Reputable was known to be

His heart was full of love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to his tree,
He said "Oh Daddy-o I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of my children all around."

The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
So the story goes - so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searching for love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around

Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said "Eat this bread think of it as me,
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around"
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around

Father up above, why in all this hatred have you filled
Me up with love
Fill me love love love
Love love
And the blood of our children all around.

At night when the sky is clear
and the moon is shining down
My heart goes running back to you
I love the way
you open up and let me in
So I go running back to you,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.

Remember the nights of love
and that moment on the beach
That wasn't really too long ago
But we paid the price of time,
and now it's out of reach
And so the broken circle go,
Over and over again

Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.

Somewhere in a fire of love,
our dreams went up in smoke
We danced beneath silver rain
Upon the fields of green,
where time was just a joke
And now the feeling's
just the same,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.

In the day
In the night
Say it all
Say it right
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
Do you got what it takes to set me free?
Oh, you could mean everything to me

I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
Do you got what it takes to set me free?
Oh, you could mean everything to me.

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself

Oooh, ooh -
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

you walked around
thought yourself beautiful
just too bad they stared
just too bad they stared
broke up your crown
called you unusable
see how well you fared

stole underground
to kick your heart around
banished from above
vanished from above
forgot yourself
go home and shot your health
left it all for love

and on their lips
delirious quips
last seen with friends
wishing them well

delayed, seduced
you listened for the truth
just too bad they lied
just too bad they lied
o come around
in form of future youth
summoned from the sky

ono omode

refuse this cruel
unusual fools
leave them to rule in hollowpoint hell

you've much to do
now listen to the truth
cradled in a cry
cradled in a cry
your light'll shine
keep your head on high
keep your head on high

you walk around
know you are beautiful
aimless and alive
broken and divine
walk around know you are future youth
summoned to the sky

I've been travelling but I don't know where
I've been missing you but you just don't care
And I've been wandering, I've seen Greece and Rome
Lost in the wilderness, so far from home
Yeah, yeah

I've been to Africa, looking for my soul
And I feel like an actor looking for a role
I've been in Arabia, I've seen a million stars
Been sipping champagne on the boulevards - yes

I'm so sick and tired
Trying to turn the tide, yeah
So I'll say my goodbye
Laugh, laugh
I nearly died

I've been down to India, but it froze my bones
I'm living for the city, but I'm all alone
I've been travelling, but I don't know where
I've been wandering, but I just don't care

I hate to be denied
How you hurt my pride
I feel pushed aside
But laugh, laugh, laugh
I nearly died

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide

Living in a fantasy but it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wandering, feeling all alone
I lost my direction and I lost my home...Well

I'm so sick and tired
Now I'm on the side
Feeling so despised
When you laugh, laugh
I almost died

(Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide)

I hurt my pride, hurt my pride, hurt my pride (Been travelling far and wide)
Been travelling, yeah

(Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide)

(Been travelling far and wide)

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Layin' in the fields

Love
Reign o'er me

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn
To the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears
From all high

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain on me
Rain on me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spent apart alone
I need to get back home
To cool cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Woo Oh God I need a drink
Of cool cool rain

Love
Reign o'er me
Rain over me
Over me
Over me

Love
Reign o'er me
On me

Love...

Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay

I wander through the night
And search the world to find
The words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
Ive got to make you see

That Im lost without your love
Life without you isnt worth the trouble of
Im as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I cant believe its real...

And someday soon Ill wake
And find my heart wont have to break

Yes Im lost without your love
Life without you isnt worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darlin cant you see...
If we had love before
We can have it back once more

Just a short quote :

"There's no heart you can't melt...
...with a certain little smile
No challenge should be faced...
...without a little charm and a lot of style"

from "Bluetonic" by The Bluetones
