Starvation is a creation of the devil
a rebel
I'm bringin' food to the people like a widow
brinin' flowers to a grave in the middle
of the city isolation is a riddle
to be surrounded by a million other people
but feel alone like a tree in the desert
dried up like the skin of a lizard
but full of color like the spots of a leopard
drum and bass pull me in like a sheperd
scratch my itch like a needle on a record
full of life like a man gone to Mecca
sky high like an eagle up soaring
I speak low but I'm like a lion roaring
baritone like a Robeson recordin'
I'm giving thanks for bein' human every morning...
Because the streets are alive with the sound of Boom Bap
can I hear it once again!
Boom Bap tell your neighbor tell a friend
every box gotta right to be boomin'
because the streets are alive with the sound of Boom Bap
can I hear it once again!
Boom Bap tell your neighbor tell a friend
every flower got a right to be bloomin'!
Stay Human!
Be resistant
the negativity we keep it at a distance
call for backup and I'll give you some assistance
like a lifesaver deep in the ocean
stay afloat here upon the funky motion
rock and roll upon the waves of the season
hold your breath and your underwater breathin'
To be rhymin' without a real reason
is to claim but not to practice a religion
is television is the drug of the nation
satelite is immaculate reception
beaming in they can look and they can listen
so you see don't believe in the system
to legalize you or give you your freedom
you want rights ask'em, they'll read 'em
but every flower gotta right to be bloomin'
stay human...
All the freaky people make the beauty of the world
You see Y2K ya know is a moment
in time we find that we can open
up a heart that's locked or been broken
by the pain of the words not spoken
or shot by guns a still smokin'
Cartwrights out on the Ponderosa
or drive by bang in Testarossa
we need to heed the words of Dalai Lama
or at least the words of ya mama
take a mental trip to the Bahamas
steam your body in a stereo sauna, sauna, comma....
ALL THE FREAKY PEOPLE MAKE THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD

On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent
It's circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to
Earthshine
Earthshine
A jewel out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine
Floating high
In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection
Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look in my direction
Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
Full of starlit diamonds
Earthshine
Reflected light
To another's sight
And the moon tells a lover's story
My borrowed face
And my third - hand grace
Only reflect your glory
You're still out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine
Quote on it's meaning...
FenJazz - yes indeed. Also wonderful poetry in "Pale facsimile, Like what others see, When they look in my direction" he's saying looking at the moon like this should show a faint image of the Earth (light reflected from the Earth afterall) but it's not an accurate image. Similarly, he doesn't think people see the real image when they look at him or read his words - just a "pale facsimile" - you only get a vague impression of the real man, and it's likely that everyone sees a different thing ... just like we do when interpretting his songs!! :-)

"Pale facsimile" - I like that.
This one's been rolling around in my head all morning - though I'm feeling just fine and nowhere near cracking
It burns deep down inside of me
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accepted as the truth
Debate this fight it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It's time to make a change
Intrigued
Got your attention - Deceived
Since the inception - Our brave
Fight for what reason
Compelled
Can we clean up this mess
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
The only thing
That I believe
Will help us see this through is faith
Pray they will forgive
Forgive our arrogance
So we could make it right
Right what they have wronged
See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate - Exacerbate - Too much at stake
Our Fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it's been
Can we help them break away
Is our patience wearing thin
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
Peace

Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. My work gave us all the day off too, for which I'm thankful - completely digging this ME time.
It's a bittersweet day of sorts too - one week short of five years since my father died. This holiday (along with Yom Kippur next week) meant so much to him, his family, and his history.
Despite his hopes, I didn't follow in his religious footsteps, but in terms of his character? I try, always - he's my barometer of decency, of gentleness, of living an honorable, honest life with a giant-sized sense of humor. Also my barometer of being true to oneself, even if that means falling short sometimes.
This song, for whatever reason, reminds me of him.

Well...somehow I fucked up my math and added another year on to the time since my father died. I wonder how my mind/subconscious came to that.
Yet more shit to think on.
Anyway, we've been listening to Ty Cobb a lot lately and it fits my state of mind this morning - in a general sense.
I also love how they came up with the song title -
"It was basically coming from the frame of mind of some sort of hardcore pissed-off idiot, and that's why we titled it that. We weren't writing the song about Ty Cobb at all—I didn't even know anything about him. I was just thinking of a character who was a combination of a lot of people I've met and didn't like."
winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
wounded is the organ he left all...bloodied on the shore...
gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...
little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
the smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
ransom paid the devil...he whispers pleasing words...
triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...
little secrets tremors...turned to quake...
the smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
i'll decide...take the dive...
take my time...not my life...
wait for signs...believe in lies...
to get by...it's divine...whoa...
oh, you know what it's like...
turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...
puts his faith in love and tremor christ...
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
"Don't fret precious I'm here
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you
Like I do
Like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils
See they don't give a fuck about you
Like I do
Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
One and the same I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drum
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son
Go back to sleep"

For all the hours here that move too slow
There's all this letting go, that don't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
Today is yesterday when you don't know
How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
Who you want to hide your darkness from
So they won't let you down
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try and be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
For all the hours here that move to slow
There's all this letting go, that won't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
And if were only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger than you
Our love will always be
If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
She told me he was beating her today
And she showed me all the bruises on her face
I said, baby, can I make it all OK
She said, honey, you should make him go away
There's a hundred thousand dollars in the bank
And the policy he took out yesterday
We can live outside the country for awhile
Until things smooth over and get under control
There's a tattoo of your name across my soul
I bought a rifle and black guns without a name
For an alibi she went six states away
When I saw him I felt fire I felt cold
Like the devil and the lord wanted my soul
Like the tattoo of your name across my soul
So I shot him in his car until he died
I called to give the signal and she cried
Life has a way of making other plans
She called the cops and said I was a crazy man
I'm gonna get this thing removed when I can
There was never any policy
And the bruises came from falling on the street
So the judge gave me one hundred thousand years
In the courtroom she was filling up with tears
I saw her hold the lawyer's hand real tight
They looked tired from lack of sleep last night
Seems the whole time she had me under control
With a tattoo of her name across my soul
She gets off and I will never have parole
Just this tattoo of your name across my soul
Just this tattoo of your name across my soul

A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you
He smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strangeness lies
Take it off, he's got three eyes
Truth is false and logic lost
Now the fourth dimension is crossed
You have entered the Twilight Zone
Beyond this world strange things are known
Use the key, unlock the door
See what your fate might have in store
Come explore your dreams' creation
Enter this world of imagination
Wake up lost in an empty town
Wondering why no one else is around
Look up to see a giant boy
You've just become his brand new toy
No escape, no place to hide
Here where Time and Space collide
....but only fool themselves.
Peace

Huge fan of that version (not to mention the subject matter )
Speaking of the fucking man, MY fucking man and I were talking earlier about politics and how fitting this line from The Pot is - "Liar, lawyer, mirror, show me. What's the difference?"
I'd say this fits too -
"Rob the grave, to snow the cradle.
Then burn the evidence down.
Soapbox, house of cards, and glass,
So don't go tossin' your stones around."
Aagh! I need a fix. That voice! And...mind.
Listen to that crowd, too. Sounds like us when we saw 'em

Of all they wear

And kingdoms rise

But you go on

For all the hours here that move too slow
There's all this letting go, that don't pass

If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be

Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try and be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
For all the hours here that move to slow
There's all this letting go, that won't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
And if were only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger than you
Our love will always be
If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
TATTOO OF HER NAME- VAST
She told me he was beating her today
And she showed me all the bruises on her face
I said, baby, can I make it all OK
She said, honey, you should make him go away
There's a hundred thousand dollars in the bank
And the policy he took out yesterday
We can live outside the country for awhile
Until things smooth over and get under control
There's a tattoo of your name across my soul
I bought a rifle and black guns without a name
For an alibi she went six states away
When I saw him I felt fire I felt cold
Like the devil and the lord wanted my soul
Like the tattoo of your name across my soul
So I shot him in his car until he died
I called to give the signal and she cried
Life has a way of making other plans
She called the cops and said I was a crazy man
I'm gonna get this thing removed when I can
There was never any policy
And the bruises came from falling on the street
So the judge gave me one hundred thousand years
In the courtroom she was filling up with tears
I saw her hold the lawyer's hand real tight
They looked tired from lack of sleep last night
Seems the whole time she had me under control
With a tattoo of her name across my soul
She gets off and I will never have parole
Just this tattoo of your name across my soul
Just this tattoo of your name across my soul

The Twilight Zone
A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you
He smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strangeness lies
Take it off, he's got three eyes
Truth is false and logic lost
Now the fourth dimension is crossed
You have entered the Twilight Zone
Beyond this world strange things are known
Use the key, unlock the door
See what your fate might have in store
Come explore your dreams' creation
Enter this world of imagination
Wake up lost in an empty town
Wondering why no one else is around
Look up to see a giant boy
You've just become his brand new toy
No escape, no place to hide
Here where Time and Space collide
....but only fool themselves.
Peace

Speaking of the fucking man, MY fucking man and I were talking earlier about politics and how fitting this line from The Pot is - "Liar, lawyer, mirror, show me. What's the difference?"
I'd say this fits too -
"Rob the grave, to snow the cradle.
Then burn the evidence down.
Soapbox, house of cards, and glass,
So don't go tossin' your stones around."
Aagh! I need a fix. That voice! And...mind.
Listen to that crowd, too. Sounds like us when we saw 'em

Pearl Jam needs to cover it. Stone on lead vocals.
By the way, thanks for the CB link...listening to it now.
I meant cover CB... disco mix. Stone on lead vocals
Eddie would do the yodeling... This was Cate France's idea.

This will never be cliche to me.

October....U2
October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care
October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
Peace
