    Love that Audioslave. Love the whole album!

    I think of this song every time I watch the news these days! (elvis costello)


    There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
    Who comes into my house every night.
    And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
    And she turns them into black and white.

    But you tease, and you flirt
    And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
    You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it

    Better cut off all identifying labels
    Before they put you on the torture table
    'Cause somewhere in the Quisling Clinic
    There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
    She's listening in to the Venus line
    She's picking out names
    I hope none of them are mine

    But you tease, and you flirt...

    Never said I was a stool pigeon
    I never said I was a diplomat
    Everybody is under suspicion
    But you don't wanna hear about that

    'Cause you tease, and you flirt...

    Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
    Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?

    You tease, and you flirt...
    You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
    You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
    Cancel my subscription to the Ressurection
    Send my credentials to the house of detention

    Can you hear it? -like an invitation
    Can you feel it? -it's a revelation


    The flavor of the month is busy melting in the mouth
    Getting easier to swallow and harder to spit out

    Can you hear it? -does the sound remind you?
    Can you feel it? -it's gonna redefine you

    The flavor of the month is busy melting in the mouth
    Getting easier to swallow and harder to spit out


    Can you hear it? -like an invitation
    Can you feel it? -a reverberation

    The flavor of the month is busy melting in the mouth
    Getting easier to swallow and harder to spit out

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Longing for shelter from all that we see
    Why should we worry, no one will care girl
    Look at the stars so far away
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don' you stay?

    Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
    All of my hopes, fading away
    I've longed for love, like everyone else does
    I know I'll keep searching, even after today
    So there it is girl, I've said it all now
    And here we are babe, what do you say?
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?

    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Both of us lonely

    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    Let's make it ast, let's find a way
    Turn out the light, come take my hand now
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?
    Why don't you stay?

    Wish you were here...

    Said the night wind to the little lamb,
    "Do you see what I see?
    Way up in the sky, little lamb,
    Do you see what I see?
    A star, a star, dancing in the night
    With a tail as big as a kite,
    With a tail as big as a kite."

    Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
    "Do you hear what I hear?
    Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
    Do you hear what I hear?
    A song, a song high above the trees
    With a voice as big as the sea,
    With a voice as big as the sea."

    Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
    "Do you know what I know?
    In your palace warm, mighty king,
    Do you know what I know?
    A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
    Let us bring him silver and gold,
    Let us bring him silver and gold."

    Said the king to the people everywhere,
    "Listen to what I say!
    Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
    Listen to what I say!
    The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
    He will bring us goodness and light,
    He will bring us goodness and light."

    I read the news today oh boy
    About a lucky man who made the grave
    And though the news was rather sad
    Well I just had to laugh
    I saw the photograph
    He blew his mind out in a car
    He didn't notice that the lights had changed
    A crowd of people stood and stared
    They'd seen his face before
    Nobody was really sure
    If he was from the House of Lords.

    I saw a film today oh boy
    The English Army had just won the war
    A crowd of people turned away
    but I just had to look
    Having read the book
    I'd love to turn you on

    Woke up, fell out of bed,
    Dragged a comb across my head
    Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
    And looking up I noticed I was late.
    Found my coat and grabbed my hat
    Made the bus in second splat
    Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
    and Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

    I read the news today oh boy
    Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
    And though the holes were rather small
    They had to count them all
    Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
    I'd love to turn you on...

    Wish you were here...

    can you feel the thunder
    from the cloud i'm under
    god knows what i thought i'd do
    i bit my own sweet heart in two

    all my life
    i thought i needed all the things i didn't need at all
    all my life
    i thought i wanted all the things i didn't want at all...

  • between your blissful kisses
    whisper to me
    "darling is this love"
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • 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 so real
    That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
    So why is it now after I had my fill
    That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
    Shall we call this a lesson learned?
    Shall we call this a lesson learned?

    Winter is here again oh Lord,
    Haven't been home in a year or more
    I hope she holds on a little longer
    Sent a letter on a long summer day
    Made of silver, not of clay
    Ooh, I've been runnin' down this dusty road

    Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

    I've been trying to make it home
    Got to make it before too long
    Ooh, I can't take this very much longer, no
    I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
    Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
    The mornin' sun is risin'
    It's kissing the day

    Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Whooa... My, my, my, my, my... For tomorrow

    Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps me yernin'
    Oh, I don't know, I don't know

    Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know oh oh
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ohh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

    Wish you were here...

    Whoa, here it comes
    That funny feelin' again windin'
    Me up inside
    Every time we touch
    Hey, I don't know
    Oh, tell me where to begin
    'Cause I never ever
    Felt so much. Hey!

    And I can't recall any love at all
    Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

    It's got what it takes
    So tell me why can't this be love?
    Straight from the heart
    Oh tell me why
    Can't this be love?

    I tell myself,
    "Hey! Only fools rush in"
    Only time will tell
    If we stand the test of time
    All I know
    You've got to run to win and
    I'll damned if i'll get caught up on the line. Hey!

    No, I can't recall anything at all
    Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

    Woo! It's got what it takes
    So tell me why can't this be love?
    You want it straight from the heart
    Oh, tell me why
    Can't this be love?

    Woo! It's got what it takes
    So tell me why can't this be love?
    Straight from the heart,
    Oh tell me why
    Can't this be love?

    Baby, why can't this be love?
    Got to know why can't this be love?
    I wanna know why can't this be love?

    Wish you were here...

    I feel your love...
    I feel your strong love,
    I feel the patience of unconditional love...

    I feel your strengh,
    I feel your faith in me...

    I"ll never let you down, no matter what we do...
    If you just walk with me and let me walk with you....

    I'm on this journey and I dont want to walk alone....

    Walk with me, shine me a light,
    I lost some friends I was traveling with,
    I miss the soul and the old friendship,

    Walk with me.....

    when the promise is broken you go on living
    but it steals something from down in your soul
    like when the truth is broken and
    it dont make no difference
    something in your heart turns cold
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    I still don't know what I was waiting for
    And my time was running wild
    A million dead-end streets
    Every time I thought I'd got it made
    It seemed the taste was not so sweet
    So I turned myself to face me
    But I've never caught a glimpse
    Of how the others must see the faker
    I'm much too fast to take that test

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Don't want to be a richer man
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Just gonna have to be a different man
    Time may change me
    But I can't trace time

    I watch the ripples change their size
    But never leave the stream
    Of warm impermanence and
    So the days float through my eyes
    But still the days seem the same
    And these children that you spit on
    As they try to change their worlds
    Are immune to your consultations
    They're quite aware of what they're going through

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Where's your shame
    You've left us up to our necks in it
    Time may change me
    But you can't trace time

    Strange fascination, fascinating me
    Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
    Time may change me
    But I can't trace time
    I said that time may change me
    But I can't trace time

    Wish you were here...

    I was listening to Riot Act while I was cooking dinner tonight. It sounded so good! :)

    This broken wheel is coming undone
    And the road's exploding
    But you're keeping me strong
    Rolling along with you,...

    Love is a tower
    And you're the key
    Leading me higher
    When you let me in

    Keeping us close,... so close
    On down the line

    Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
    With no one knowing
    But you're keeping me strong
    Moving along with you

    You are a tower of
    Strength to me
    The darkening hour
    Sees light again... again


    You are... you are... you are... you are... you are...

    Love is a tower
    Of strength to me
    I am the shoreline
    But you're the sea.. the sea

    You are, you are, you are, you are, you...
    You are, you are
