    We've got missiles and tanks

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name



    We've got our anger and rage

    To send you back from where you came

    We are hurting you to heal you

    And we're doin' it in your name



    We've got missiles and tanks

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name



    We're the righteous and true

    You're the unholy, profane

    We are fighting for your freedom

    And we do it in your name



    We've got missiles and tanks

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name, yeah



    We are the victims of privilege

    You're the one to blame

    We hate you, you hate us

    We all feel the same



    We've got missiles and tanks

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name, yeah

    If I were a boy
    Even just for a day
    I’d roll outta bed in the morning
    And throw on what I wanted, then go
    Drink beer with the guys
    And chase after girls
    I’d kick it with who I wanted
    And I’d never get confronted for it
    'Cause they’d stick up for me

    If I were a boy
    I think I could understand
    How it feels to love a girl
    I swear I’d be a better man.
    I’d listen to her
    'Cause I know how it hurts
    When you lose the one you wanted
    'Cause he’s taken you for granted
    And everything you had got destroyed

    If I were a boy
    I would turn off my phone
    Tell everyone it’s broken
    So they’d think that I was sleeping alone
    I’d put myself first
    And make the rules as I go
    'Cause I know that she’d be faithful
    Waiting for me to come home

    If I were a boy
    I think I could understand
    How it feels to love a girl
    I swear I’d be a better man.
    I’d listen to her
    'Cause I know how it hurts
    When you lose the one you wanted
    'Cause he’s taken you for granted
    And everything you had got destroyed

    It’s a little too late for you to come back
    Say it's just a mistake, think I’d forgive you like that?
    If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong

    But you’re just a boy
    You don’t understand
    Yeah, you don’t understand
    How it feels to love a girl
    Someday you'll wish you were a better man.
    You don’t listen to her
    You don’t care how it hurts
    Until you lose the one you wanted
    'Cause you’ve taken her for granted
    And everything you have got destroyed
    But you’re just a boy.
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet. 
  • They tell me you walk on the water now
    I know who showed you the stones
    You pray that I banish my appetite and lie there alone

    I hope that you've practiced your instrument
    I fear it will take you away
    You ain't the type to be traveling, so why not just stay

    Here it is morning for some folks
    and twilight for those of us left
    who sleep while the soldiers get sunstroke
    and make little fools of ourselves

    Are we supposed to get good at this?
    What does it mean to give up?
    Why did I call you? I shouldn't be giving a fuck
    Answer these questions for everyone
    so maybe they'll stop asking me
    What really happened and where is your masterpiece?

    Here it is morning for some folks
    and twilight for those of us left
    who give up the dangers of sunstroke
    and make little fools of ourselves

    They tell me you walk on the water now,
    but I know who showed you the stones

    I need some things to look forward to
    Maybe these colors will fade
    I never meant to get bored with you
    but I never meant to stay
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Walkin down this rocky road
    wondering where my life is leadin'
    rollin' on, to the bitter end
    finding out along the way
    what it takes to keep love living
    you should know, how it feels my friend...


    Ooh, I want you to stay
    Ooh, I want you today
    O'm ready for love, yeah
    I'm ready for love
    Ooooh, for you love....

    Now I'm on my feet again
    better things are bound to happen
    all my dues, surely must be paid...

    Many miles and many tears
    times were hard but now they're changing
    you should know that I'm not afraid....

    Ooh, I want you to stay
    ooh, I want you today
    I'm ready for love
    oh baby, I'm ready for love
    ready for your love, oh baby I'm ready for love
    mmmmmm
    Oh, I'm ready for you love......

  • Well the truth it fell so heavy
    Like a hammer through the room
    That I could choose another over her
    You always said I was an actor, baby
    Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
    That you never saw the signs
    That you never lost your grip

    Oh, come on now
    That's such a childish claim
    Now I wear the brand of traitor
    Don't it seem a bit absurd
    When it's clear I was so obviously framed
    When it's clear I was so obviously framed

    Now you act so surprised
    To hear what you already know
    And all you really had to do was ask
    I'd have told you straight away
    All those lies were truth
    And all that was false was fact
    Now you hold me close and hard
    But I was like a statue at most
    Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
    Now you're clawing at my throat
    And you're crying all is lost
    But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
    But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

    Well the truth it fell so heavy
    Like a hammer through the room
    That I could choose another over her
    You always said I was an actor, baby
    Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
    Was it you who told me once
    Now looking back it seems surreal
    That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
    So why is it now after I had my fill would you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
    Shall we call this a lesson learned?
    Shall we call this a lesson learned?

    oh gosh.. i just watched the US versus john lennon yesterday and the words to imagine have been running through my head ever since.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
  • You know my old car needs washing
    And the front yard needs a trim
    And the telephone keeps ringing
    And the bossman knows I know its him
    And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
    No matter anyway
    Cause I ain't in no hurry today

    There's nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole
    And the smell of early spring
    Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
    On a quiet shady river bank
    Let the world go on without me
    Wouldn't have it any other way
    Cause I ain't in no hurry today

    Ain't in no hurry
    I'd Be a fool now to worry
    About all those things I can't change
    And the time that I borrow
    Can wait till tomorrow
    Cause I ain't in no hurry today

    When I must return
    To the cold cold ground
    Have 'em take their time
    When they lay this sinner down

    Heaven knows that I ain't perfect
    I've raised a little cain
    And I plan to raise a whole lot more
    Before I hear those angels sing
    (Gonna get right with the lord)
    But there'll be hell to pay
    But I ain't in no hurry

    Ain't in no hurry
    Be a fool now to worry
    About all those things I can't change
    And the time that I borrow
    Can wait till tomorrow
    Cause I ain't in no hurry
    Ain't in no hurry
    Ain't in no hurry today
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

  • the time has come

    how do we sleep while our beds are burning?

  • ***minor adjustment...Brandy should be read as Brandi*** ;)

    There's a port on a western bay

    And it serves a hundred ships a day

    Lonely sailors pass the time away

    And talk about their homes


    And there's a girl, in this harbor town

    And she works, laying whiskey down

    They say "Brandy, fetch another round"

    She serves them whiskey and wine


    The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl

    What a good wife you would be

    Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor

    From the sea."


    Brandy, wears a braided chain

    Made of finest silver from the north of Spain

    A locket, that bears the name

    Of a man that Brandy loved


    He came, on a summer's day

    Bringing gifts, from far away

    But he made it clear, he couldn't stay

    No harbor was his home


    The sailors said "Brandy, you're a fine girl

    What a good wife you would be

    But my life, my lover, my lady

    Is the sea."


    Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story

    She could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw it's raging glory

    But he had always told the truth,
    Lord he was an honest man

    And Brandy does her best to understand


    At night, when the bars close down

    Brandy walks through a silent town

    And loves a man, who's not around

    She still can hear him say, she hears him say


    "Brandy, you're a fine girl

    What a good wife you would be

    But my life, my lover, my lady

    Is the sea"


    "Brandy, you're a fine girl

    What a good wife you would be

    But my life, my lover, my lady

    Is the sea"

    told me you love me
    that i'd never die alone
    hand over your heart
    let's go home

    everyone noticed,
    everyone has seen the signs
    i've always been known
    to cross lines

    i never ever
    cried when i was feeling down
    i've always been scared of the sound

    jesus don't love me
    no one's ever carried my load
    i'm too young to feel this old




    just scored some KOL tickets for tonight...if they play "cold desert" people might see a grown man tear up... :oops: :oops: :)

    Why, why, does he do me that way?
    If they say
    'Why?', why, tell 'em that it's 'human nature'
    'Why, why, does he do me that way?'

    Reaching out
    To touch a stranger
    Electric eyes are everywhere
    See that girl
    She knows I'm watching
    'She likes the way I stare'

    Looking out
    Across the nightime
    Where the city's heart begins to beat
    Reaching out
    I touch her shoulder
    I'm dreaming of the street

    remember....

    we are eternal all this pain is an illusion...
  • I was born here and I’ll die here, against my will.

    I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still.

    Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb.

    I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from.

    Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer.

    It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there...

    Three-thirty in the morning,
    not a soul in sight
    the city's lookin' like a ghost town
    on a moonless summer night
    raindrops on the windshild, there's a storm moving in...

    He's headin' back from somewhere...that he never should have been...

    Every light is burnin', in a house across town
    she's pacin' by the telephone, in her faded flannel gown...

    asking for a miracle, hoping she's not right
    prayin' it's the weather, thats kept him out all night....

    Another love grows cold, on a sleepless night
    as the storm blows on, out of control, deep in her heart...
    the thunder rolls

    She's waitin' by the window, when he pulls into the drive
    she rushes to hold him, thankful he's alive

    through all the wind and rain
    a strange new perfume blows
    and the lightnin' flashes in her eyes, and He knows that She knows....

    and the thunder rolls,
    and the thunder rolls....

  • and for a moment i lose myself
    wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
    i've journeyed here and there and back again
    but in the same old haunts i still find my friends
    mysteries not ready to reveal
    sympathies i'm ready to return
