Dear diary, what a day it's been.
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream.
Woke up late. Wasn't where I should have been.
For goodness sake what's happening to me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
It was cold outside my door.
So many people by the score.
Rushing around so senselessly.
They don't notice there's people like me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
They don't know what they're playing.
They've no way of knowing what the game is.
Still they carry on doing what they can.
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary.
It's over. Will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame.
If they wern't so blind then surely they'd see.
There's a much better way for them to be.
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary.
...
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today.
But it wasn't anyone I knew.
lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~
I say to myself
"Self, why are you awake again? It's one a.m."
Standing with the fridge door wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that but
As it is, I might watch TV
'Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, let myself fall
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, 'cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be
I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mind's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, just way hotter
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still you're name I'll call
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
As long as we laugh outloud
Laugh like we're mad
'Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch, a joke we can't catch?
But still we laugh
Get back in bed, turn off the TV
You say "I'll be alright, baby, just wait and see."
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be alright
Gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
Gonna alright, 'cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be.
it's so easy for me to slag bruce these days but in the end this is probably one of the best songs ever written. i know ev thinks so.
We busted out of class had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams
down
We made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
you say it ain't ours anymore to win
I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lover's bed
with a wide open country in my eyes
Oh Ive just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from god
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
You just cant believe
The joy I did recieve
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see

My love for you is real

My love for you is wide
Yeah, it move like the summer breeze
My love for you is long

lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~
I'm not doing great
I feel like I'm dead
Not thinking straight
Inside my body, troubled, full of hate
I had to let it out before it's too late
Deep Inside, It can hide!
Feeling so lost and betrayed
why does this happen to me everytime
Stuck in this place, where I can't escape
Screaming and clawing from deep inside
Why won't it fade
Outside I had to lie; "I'm ok",
I hope someday, I'll stop getting pain
I guess this is a lie, I have made
Deep Inside, It can hide!
Feeling so lost and betrayed
why does this happen to me everytime
Stuck in this place, where I can't escape
Screaming and clawing from deep inside
What am I doing?
I can't believe this
I have been hiding
Wanting to be less
Giving to people,
They take from me
Always they bring drama to me
Look, look at me now
NOWWWWWWWW
Feeling so lost and betrayed
why does this happen to me everytime
Stuck in this place, where I can't escape
Screaming and clawing from deep inside
I can't stand all this fucking Pain
Please god just go away
Please god just make the pain...

I said he-hi
I said hello
I said a-where'd you want this little
Song to go....
I started singing
Made up some words
I sang it like a sonnet
I sang it for the birds
I sang about the distance
I sang about the time
I introduced some chaos
And tried to make it rhyme
I hope somebody listened
And heard another world
Pure rays on the better worlds, they were
Catching a song
A song about the nights and
A song about a day
About a song about a modern day
We're a little too late
I said goodbye
I said hold on
Where did you want that little
Song to go....
lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void

Don't come to pieces in my hand
White stars reflecting dust and sand
That perfume makes me think of grief
Shake the faith shake the belief
Who's there to say that we're living this moment
Feels like I'm in a play
The sets and the props of this, your apartment
Seem to be fading away, fading away
So I wander through these rooms
I feel the orbit of the moons
And I dream what I've become
And all's forgotten by the sun
lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~
When I come to the club, step aside
Pop the seats, don’t be heavy in the line
V.I.P., ‘cause you know I gotta shine
I’m Fergie Ferg, and I'll love you long time
All my girls get down on the floor
Back to back, drop it down real low
I’m such a lady, but I’m dancing like a ho
‘Cause you know what?
I don’t give a fuck, so here we go
How come every time you come around
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London, we goin’ down like
The drinks start pouring
And my speech starts slurring
Everybody starts looking real good
The Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I’m wishin’ that I didn’t wear these shoes
It’s like every time I get up on the dude
Paparazzi put my business in the news
And I’m like
"Get up out my face
Before I turn around and spray you with my mace
My lips make you wanna have a taste
You got that?"
I got the bass
How come every time you come around
My London, London bridge wanna go down like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London, we goin’ down like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like...
Don't know if it's been posted, but 1 song I've been heavily into lately... beautiful guitar playing......
Loco Girl - Chris Whitley
I found my loco girl again
All still, no word for where she'd been
I sense the memories on her skin
Like broken glass had broke her in
And I, in exile, recognize a friend.
These chains grow stronger every year
Will she defect or disappear
This world can hold her in its sway
Maybe she'll take me there someday
When I find my loco girl again
When I find my loco girl again
Well I've been up to Paris,
and I've slept in a park.
Went down to Barcelona,
someone broke in my car.
And I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Euro-trash Girl.
Took the train down to Athens,
and I slept [live: sometimes "bathed"] in a fountain.
Some Swiss junkie in Turin [Earlier versions "Zurich" instead of "Turin"]
ripped me off for my cash.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl.
The CRS on the metro
shook me down for a bribe.
On my knees for the sergeant
when my passport arrived.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Euro-trash Girl
Called my mom from a payphone
I said "I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college...
now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married,
well she hung up the phone.
You know she never did like me,
but I can stand on my own.
Sold my plasma in Amsterdam.
Spent it all in a night,
buying drinks at the Melk Weg
for a soldier in drag.
And I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl.
Euro-trash Girl, (I'm a) Euro-trash girl.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl (solo Johnny)
Got a tattoo in Berlin
(and a case of the crabs).
A rose and a dagger
on the palm of my hand.
And I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl.
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl.
Euro-trash Girl, (I'm a) Euro-trash girl.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl.
Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
heaven /
are you really waiting outside the door? /
never thought i’d hear the words before /
the road, the road /
sever /
it’s the simple things that are so hard to grasp /
can’t find myself in all these days that pass /
but i can feel it when it shines /
nevermind, /
i’m falling in love with you /
can’t find the road to get through /
falling in love with you /
heaven /
are you really waiting outside the door? /
never thought i’d hear the words before /
the road, the road /
sever /
it’s the simple things that are so hard to grasp /
can’t find myself in all these days that pass /
but i can feel it when it shines /
never minded the way they shine /
i’m coming around /
i’m on your trail /
the whole world is falling in love with you /
can’t find the road to get through /
falling in love with you /
can’t find the road to get through /
Took men TEN years to figure it out. Matthew Sweet couldn't have written more appropriate words if he were in my own head.
I thought I knew you
But I was in for a suprise
I let my love flow
From my heart into your eyes
And then I found out
That there was nothing
I could know
Or guess about you
You'd go as far as you could go
And it took me years to figure out
That there was nothing
I could give to you
Years to figure out
That there was nothing
You would take from me
And how can I describe
The way you slowly put
My hope away
And all of the time
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
But I wasn't even close
I had my heart set
On little more than a ghost
And I thought I'd show you
There was no way we could lose
I thought I'd force you
To realize and choose
And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never really
Going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you [solo]
And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never
Really going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you
Don't you feel like trying something new
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two
You don't do the things that I do
You want to do things I can't do
Always something breaking us in two
You and I could never live alone
But don't you feel like breaking out
Just one day on your own
Why does what I'm saying hurt you?
I didn't say that we were through
Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that won't be too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice
It's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that won't be too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice
It's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
So I took what's mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over, but it won't stop there
I am here for you if you'd only care
You touched my heart, you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you
I've kissed your lips and held your hand
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer and when I wake
You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile
I've watched you sleeping for a while
I'd be the father of your child
I'd spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you know mine
We've had our doubts, but now we're fine
And I love you, I swear that's true
I cannot live without you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine when I'm asleep
And I will bare my soul in time
When I'm kneeling at your feet
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I'm so hollow, baby
I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
Life it seems will fade away
drifting further everyday
getting lost within myself
nothing matters no one else
i have lost the will to live
simply nothing left to give
there is nothing more for me
need the end to seet me free
things not what they used to be
missing one inside of me
deadly loss this cant be real
i cannot stand this hell i feel
emptiness is filling me...
to the point of agony
growing darkness taking dawn
i was me but now he's gone..
No one but me can save myself but it's too late
now i cant think, think why i should even try
yesterday seems as though it never existed
death greets me warm now i will just say goodbye
goodbyeeeeee

it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)
I've been alive forever,
And I wrote the very first song.
I put the words and the melodies together,
I am music,
And I write the songs.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special things.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
My home lies deep within you,
And I've got my own place in your SOUL,
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
I'm young again, even though I'm very old.
Chorus
Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit to take a chance,
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move.
Music fills your heart,
Well, that's a real fine place to start.
It's from me, it's for you,
It's from you, it's for me,
It's a worldwide symphony.
Chorus x2
I am music, and I write the songs.

EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
I say out with it, you're not drinking
I say out with it, you're not drinking
It's not for me to know what you're thinking
About people staying home locking windows
Outside the bass room
Texan stranger
The rope, the string, the reason
Is getting impatient for something major
It's in his nature
Two more years to go
Then you're supposed to know
How to get back home
Someplace near Waco
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
Whatever will be, I guess we'll see
So let's just laugh
War is sacred, it's reaping hatred
And we're just aphids in hell's half acre
In the dark and on TV fires
Just a country on rims for tyres
Excuses are tired
Someone fetch the piano wire
I hope you try to fight before you're finally fired
Two more years to kill
If you want I will
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
Whatever will be, I guess we'll see
Let's just laugh
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain
Suddenly everything changed
They're spreadin' blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
Think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said,
This is the first day of my life,
Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy.
So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me...
Put out your lights
You're taken over
Sit on your hands for the new national anthem
It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on
Put out your lights
The waiting's over
Sit on your hands for the new national anthem
It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on
Put Out Your Lights - Matthew Good
"Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
We were but stones,... your light made us stars"
Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy.
When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul.
What happened t'your face of melting snow
Now it looks like this!
And you can swallow or you can spit
You can throw it up, or choke on it
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is coming round
So don't let the bastards grind you down.
No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit.
I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit.
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in.
'Cause I need it now.
To take the cup
To fill it up, to drink it slow.
I can't let you go.
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that.
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down.
What are we going to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book's been read.
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that.
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And you can find your own way out.
And you can build, and I can will
And you can call, I can't wait until
You can stash and you can seize
In dreams begin responsibilities
And I can love, and I can love
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down.
See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you're on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all right where it belongs
What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection, is that all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head, just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods, all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone...
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees
What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection, is that all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

No. It's from the movie The Breakfast Club. I know it's not lyrics from a song, but I just couldn't resist.
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream.
Woke up late. Wasn't where I should have been.
For goodness sake what's happening to me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
It was cold outside my door.
So many people by the score.
Rushing around so senselessly.
They don't notice there's people like me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
They don't know what they're playing.
They've no way of knowing what the game is.
Still they carry on doing what they can.
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary.
It's over. Will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame.
If they wern't so blind then surely they'd see.
There's a much better way for them to be.
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary.
...
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today.
But it wasn't anyone I knew.
~it is shining it is shining~
"Self, why are you awake again? It's one a.m."
Standing with the fridge door wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that but
As it is, I might watch TV
'Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, let myself fall
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, 'cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be
I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mind's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, just way hotter
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still you're name I'll call
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
As long as we laugh outloud
Laugh like we're mad
'Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch, a joke we can't catch?
But still we laugh
Get back in bed, turn off the TV
You say "I'll be alright, baby, just wait and see."
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be alright
Gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
Gonna alright, 'cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be.
We busted out of class had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams
down
We made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
you say it ain't ours anymore to win
I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lover's bed
with a wide open country in my eyes
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from god
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
You just cant believe
The joy I did recieve
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see

~it is shining it is shining~
I feel like I'm dead
Not thinking straight
Inside my body, troubled, full of hate
I had to let it out before it's too late
Deep Inside, It can hide!
Feeling so lost and betrayed
why does this happen to me everytime
Stuck in this place, where I can't escape
Screaming and clawing from deep inside
Why won't it fade
Outside I had to lie; "I'm ok",
I hope someday, I'll stop getting pain
I guess this is a lie, I have made
Deep Inside, It can hide!
Feeling so lost and betrayed
why does this happen to me everytime
Stuck in this place, where I can't escape
Screaming and clawing from deep inside
What am I doing?
I can't believe this
I have been hiding
Wanting to be less
Giving to people,
They take from me
Always they bring drama to me
Look, look at me now
NOWWWWWWWW
Feeling so lost and betrayed
why does this happen to me everytime
Stuck in this place, where I can't escape
Screaming and clawing from deep inside
I can't stand all this fucking Pain
Please god just go away
Please god just make the pain...

It takes balls to put out a UKE album!
I said hello
I said a-where'd you want this little
Song to go....
I started singing
Made up some words
I sang it like a sonnet
I sang it for the birds
I sang about the distance
I sang about the time
I introduced some chaos
And tried to make it rhyme
I hope somebody listened
And heard another world
Pure rays on the better worlds, they were
Catching a song
A song about the nights and
A song about a day
About a song about a modern day
We're a little too late
I said goodbye
I said hold on
Where did you want that little
Song to go....
~it is shining it is shining~
I gave you good and bad
I gave but you just threw it back
I won't get on my knees
Don't make me do that please
I've been away but now I'm back
Don't be too sure of that
What makes you sure of that
You went away you can't come back
I walked away from you
I hurt you through and through
Aw honey give me one more chance
Aw you're a lucky son
Lucky son of a gun
You went away, you went away
You went away but now youre back
I got down on my knees
And then I begged you please
I always knew you'd take me back
Jason

White stars reflecting dust and sand
That perfume makes me think of grief
Shake the faith shake the belief
Who's there to say that we're living this moment
Feels like I'm in a play
The sets and the props of this, your apartment
Seem to be fading away, fading away
So I wander through these rooms
I feel the orbit of the moons
And I dream what I've become
And all's forgotten by the sun
~it is shining it is shining~
Pop the seats, don’t be heavy in the line
V.I.P., ‘cause you know I gotta shine
I’m Fergie Ferg, and I'll love you long time
All my girls get down on the floor
Back to back, drop it down real low
I’m such a lady, but I’m dancing like a ho
‘Cause you know what?
I don’t give a fuck, so here we go
How come every time you come around
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London, we goin’ down like
The drinks start pouring
And my speech starts slurring
Everybody starts looking real good
The Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I’m wishin’ that I didn’t wear these shoes
It’s like every time I get up on the dude
Paparazzi put my business in the news
And I’m like
"Get up out my face
Before I turn around and spray you with my mace
My lips make you wanna have a taste
You got that?"
I got the bass
How come every time you come around
My London, London bridge wanna go down like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London, we goin’ down like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like...
Loco Girl - Chris Whitley
I found my loco girl again
All still, no word for where she'd been
I sense the memories on her skin
Like broken glass had broke her in
And I, in exile, recognize a friend.
These chains grow stronger every year
Will she defect or disappear
This world can hold her in its sway
Maybe she'll take me there someday
When I find my loco girl again
When I find my loco girl again
and I've slept in a park.
Went down to Barcelona,
someone broke in my car.
And I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Euro-trash Girl.
Took the train down to Athens,
and I slept [live: sometimes "bathed"] in a fountain.
Some Swiss junkie in Turin [Earlier versions "Zurich" instead of "Turin"]
ripped me off for my cash.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl.
The CRS on the metro
shook me down for a bribe.
On my knees for the sergeant
when my passport arrived.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Euro-trash Girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl.
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl.
Called my mom from a payphone
I said "I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college...
now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married,
well she hung up the phone.
You know she never did like me,
but I can stand on my own.
Sold my plasma in Amsterdam.
Spent it all in a night,
buying drinks at the Melk Weg
for a soldier in drag.
And I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl.
Euro-trash Girl, (I'm a) Euro-trash girl.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl (solo Johnny)
Got a tattoo in Berlin
(and a case of the crabs).
A rose and a dagger
on the palm of my hand.
And I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl.
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl.
Euro-trash Girl, (I'm a) Euro-trash girl.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl.

Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

Jason
You wake up late
Yet you're asleep
Inside a dream
Then
You feel something
Superimposed
Upon your thoughts
They say that in the future every man and woman will be a star
And everybody's shining and it's blinding and they don't see too far
You can't spend the whole song in space
Next
You move outside
You feel grey rain
Upon your skin
In
The muted hush
The raindrops crash
The seconds roar
They say we're all assembled from the tiny pieces of the red shift
The elevator's later but it's swifter to just wait for a lift
You can't spend the whole song in space
(Yeah!)
Life
The new frontier
An interlude
Eternity
You
You drink some wine
You had a smoke
You got to smile
They say that at the speed of light the particles all get quite excited
But out here in this universe it's bursting and we're all so delighted
You can't spend the whole song...
You can't spend the whole song in space
~it is shining it is shining~
I thought I knew you
But I was in for a suprise
I let my love flow
From my heart into your eyes
And then I found out
That there was nothing
I could know
Or guess about you
You'd go as far as you could go
And it took me years to figure out
That there was nothing
I could give to you
Years to figure out
That there was nothing
You would take from me
And how can I describe
The way you slowly put
My hope away
And all of the time
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
But I wasn't even close
I had my heart set
On little more than a ghost
And I thought I'd show you
There was no way we could lose
I thought I'd force you
To realize and choose
And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never really
Going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you [solo]
And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never
Really going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two
You don't do the things that I do
You want to do things I can't do
Always something breaking us in two
You and I could never live alone
But don't you feel like breaking out
Just one day on your own
Why does what I'm saying hurt you?
I didn't say that we were through
Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that won't be too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice
It's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that won't be too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice
It's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two
Always something breaking us in two
Jason
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
So I took what's mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over, but it won't stop there
I am here for you if you'd only care
You touched my heart, you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you
I've kissed your lips and held your hand
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer and when I wake
You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile
I've watched you sleeping for a while
I'd be the father of your child
I'd spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you know mine
We've had our doubts, but now we're fine
And I love you, I swear that's true
I cannot live without you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine when I'm asleep
And I will bare my soul in time
When I'm kneeling at your feet
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I'm so hollow, baby
I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
Life it seems will fade away
drifting further everyday
getting lost within myself
nothing matters no one else
i have lost the will to live
simply nothing left to give
there is nothing more for me
need the end to seet me free
things not what they used to be
missing one inside of me
deadly loss this cant be real
i cannot stand this hell i feel
emptiness is filling me...
to the point of agony
growing darkness taking dawn
i was me but now he's gone..
No one but me can save myself but it's too late
now i cant think, think why i should even try
yesterday seems as though it never existed
death greets me warm now i will just say goodbye
goodbyeeeeee
Metallica
it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)
... I'll ride the wave...where it takes me....
I've been alive forever,
And I wrote the very first song.
I put the words and the melodies together,
I am music,
And I write the songs.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special things.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
My home lies deep within you,
And I've got my own place in your SOUL,
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
I'm young again, even though I'm very old.
Chorus
Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit to take a chance,
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move.
Music fills your heart,
Well, that's a real fine place to start.
It's from me, it's for you,
It's from you, it's for me,
It's a worldwide symphony.
Chorus x2
I am music, and I write the songs.
EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
I say out with it, you're not drinking
It's not for me to know what you're thinking
About people staying home locking windows
Outside the bass room
Texan stranger
The rope, the string, the reason
Is getting impatient for something major
It's in his nature
Two more years to go
Then you're supposed to know
How to get back home
Someplace near Waco
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
Whatever will be, I guess we'll see
So let's just laugh
War is sacred, it's reaping hatred
And we're just aphids in hell's half acre
In the dark and on TV fires
Just a country on rims for tyres
Excuses are tired
Someone fetch the piano wire
I hope you try to fight before you're finally fired
Two more years to kill
If you want I will
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
Whatever will be, I guess we'll see
Let's just laugh
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
~it is shining it is shining~
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain
Suddenly everything changed
They're spreadin' blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
Think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said,
This is the first day of my life,
Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy.
So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me...

You're taken over
Sit on your hands for the new national anthem
It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on
Put out your lights
The waiting's over
Sit on your hands for the new national anthem
It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on
Put Out Your Lights - Matthew Good
We were but stones,... your light made us stars"
If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy.
When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul.
What happened t'your face of melting snow
Now it looks like this!
And you can swallow or you can spit
You can throw it up, or choke on it
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is coming round
So don't let the bastards grind you down.
No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit.
I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit.
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in.
'Cause I need it now.
To take the cup
To fill it up, to drink it slow.
I can't let you go.
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that.
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down.
What are we going to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book's been read.
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that.
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And you can find your own way out.
And you can build, and I can will
And you can call, I can't wait until
You can stash and you can seize
In dreams begin responsibilities
And I can love, and I can love
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down.
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you're on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all right where it belongs
What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection, is that all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head, just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods, all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone...
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees
What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection, is that all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?
