    We are born in a prison,
    raised in a prison
    Sent to a prison called school,

    We cry in a prison,
    We love in a prison,
    We live in a prison,
    like fools.

    Wood becomes a flute when
    it's loved,
    reach for your self and your
    battered mates.
    Mirror becomes a razor when
    it's broken,
    Look in a mirror and see
    your shattered fate.

    We live with no reason,
    Kicked around for no reason,
    Thrown out without reason
    like tools.

    Work in a prison
    And hate in a prison
    And die in a prison
    as a rule.

    We live in a prison
    Among judges and wardens
    And wait for no reason or use
    We laugh in a prison,
    Go through all four seasons
    And die with no vision
    or truth
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Although, I confess that I'm not a huge fan. :eek:

    Try not to kill me!! ;)

    Just showing good taste. I thnk it is a physical impossibility to like both the Beatles and Metallica.
    Music is not a competetion.

    Dave Mathews Band
    Grey Street


    Oh look at how she listens
    She says nothing of what she thinks
    She just goes stumbling through her memories
    Staring out on to Grey Street

    She thinks, “Hey,
    How did I come to this?
    I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
    But I can’t get out of this place”

    There’s an emptiness inside her
    And she’d do anything to fill it in
    But all the colors mix together - to grey
    And it breaks her heart

    How she wishes it was different
    She prays to God most every night
    And though she swears it doesn’t listen
    There’s still a hope in her it might

    She says, “I pray
    But they fall on deaf ears,
    Am I supposed to take it on myself?
    To get out of this place”

    There’s loneliness inside her
    And she’d do anything to fill it in
    And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
    It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
    When all the colors mix together - to grey
    And it breaks her heart

    There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
    Says take what you can from your dreams
    Make them as real as anything
    It’d take the work out of the courage

    But she says, “Please
    There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
    I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

    There’s an emptiness inside her
    And she’d do anything to fill it in
    And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
    It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
    She feels like kicking out all the windows
    And setting fire to this life
    She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
    But all the colors mix together - to grey
    And it breaks her heart
    It breaks her heart
    To grey

    How many roads must a man walk down
    Before you call him a man?
    Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail

    Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
    Before they're forever banned?
    The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind.

    How many times must a man look up
    Before he can see the sky?
    Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have

    Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows

    How many years can a mountain exist

    Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
    Before they're allowed to be free?
    Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
    Pretending he just doesn't see?
    The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind.


    nice dylan :D

    The Police
    Driven To Tears

    how can you say that you're not responsible
    what does it have to do with me
    what is my reaction, what should it be
    confronted by this latest atrocity
    to tears...
    driven to tears
    driven to tears
    driven to tears
    oh yeah...
    hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
    a comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow, meaningless party
    seems that when some innocent die
    all we can offer them is a page in a fuckin' magazine
    too many cameras and not enough food, and this is what we've seen
    driven to tears
    driven to tears
    driven to tears
    oh yeah...
    ohh...
    ohh...
    ohh...
    protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
    what's to become of our world, and who know's what to do
    driven to tears
    driven to tears
    driven to tears

    i have seen this live a few times, most dont know what it is, but i fucking love it!!! PJ is also metioned in the wikipedia about covering this song, which i thought was cool :D

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_for_Me

    Dead Kennedy's
    Bleed For Me

    You've been hanging 'round
    With an enemy of the state
    Come with me to the building
    That no-one stops to watch

    [Chorus]
    C'mon bleed
    C'mon bleed
    C'mon bleed
    Bleed for me

    We'll strap you to a pipe
    Electrodes on your balls
    C'mon scream
    C'mon writhe
    Face down in a pool of piss

    [Chorus]

    In the name of world peace
    In the name of world profits
    America pumps up our secret police
    America wants fuel
    To get it, it needs puppets
    So what's ten million dead?
    If it's keeping out the Russians

    We're well trained by the CIA
    With Yankee tax money in Ft. Bragg
    The Peace Corps builds US labor camps
    When they think they're building schools

    Ha Ha

    When cowboy Ronnie comes to town
    Forks out his tongue at human rights
    Sit down, enjoy our ethnic meal
    Dine on some charbroiled nuns
    Try a medal on
    Smile at the mirror as the cameras click
    and make big business happy-

    Anytime
    Anywhere
    Maybe you'll just disappear

    [Chorus]

    Yellow Rose
    Waco Moon
    Quit too late you're gonna die too soon
    Woman with a needle and a silver spoon
    Holed up singin' the devil's tune
    Playin' the blues, payin' your dues
    Speedin' your young life away
    I never will get over what I heard about you
    The first thing New Year's Day

    I can't say I felt so sad
    The truth is I think I'm mad
    At the selfish way you left your dad
    When you know what a hard luck time he's had
    Sleepin' through a dream come true
    You just threw all that talent away
    I never will get over what I heard about you
    The first thing New Year's Day

    Ooooo hoooooo
    Slippin' away
    Ooooo hoooooo
    New Year's Day

    I threw the phone against the wall
    Falling apart when I got the call
    I went out walkin' with the weight of it all
    That's when it hit me like a waterfall
    I'm playin' the blues, payin' my dues
    Speedin' my young life away
    I never will get over what I heard about you
    The first thing New Year's Day

    Ooooo hoooooo
    Slippin' away
    Ooooo hoooooo
    New Year's Day

    Yellow Rose
    Waco Moon
    Quit too late, you died too soon
    To the bitter end tried and true
    Goodbye old friend
    We'll be missing you

    Peter said to Paul
    "All those words that we wrote
    Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go"
    But now talkin' to God is Laurel beggin' Hardy for a gun
    I gotta girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done

    Paul said to Petey
    "You gotta rock yourself a little harder;
    Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
    And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do
    Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

    Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom
    And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them
    And I gotta girl in the war, Paul I know that they can hear me yell
    If they can't find a way to help, they can go to Hell
    If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell

    Paul to Petey "you gotta rock yourself a little harder;
    Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
    But I gotta girl in the war, Paul her eyes are like champagne
    They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
    Sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
    They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Are you in the next town, waiting for me
    Or in the next room, speaking softly
    Are you in the driveway, your motor running
    Or in the hallway, calling I’m coming
    ‘ Cause you’re nowhere to be found
    Where are you now?

    Are you in the garden, reading the paper
    Or on the phone, saying ‘see you later’
    Are you in my bed, sleeping beside me
    Did you go out walking and just forget to tell me
    ‘ Cause you’re nowhere to be found
    Where are you now?

    Are you in a movie, waiting for the ending
    Are you really leaving or is that just pretending
    Are you in some bar, drinking for two
    I’m sorry baby if it was all too much for you
    ‘ Cause you’re nowhere to be found
    And I’ve looked all around
    Where are you now?

    Just thought I'd throw this lovely little song out into the universe, seeing as my usual beckoning charm songs aren't having any effect. :(
    NOPE!!!

    Hey little buddy don't even worry
    Everything is going to be okay
    I could have told you that when you started making money
    That the world was going to treat you this way
    Forget your first wife, she was no good for you
    She was a gold-diggin' bitch, and her mom was too
    Hey Iron Mike
    Don't let them get you down

    Hey little buddy don't look uneasy
    You just keep your eyes fixed on this fight
    If that mean old Don King don't give you back all of your money
    I say you and I we go take it back some night
    You're still the champion and everybody knows you are
    C'mon Iron Mike let's take the Porsche to the titty bar
    C'mon champ
    C'mon champ

    All I'm asking for is three hundred dollars
    And that's only 'til my brother straightens out
    I would do this for you if I could and you needed to
    Ain't that what friendship's all about
    Hey little buddy don't get angry
    God, please at least not at me
    You know that I am right behind you all the way
    Oh, compadre, you just say whatever you want to and I'll agree
    Who washed every car in this ten-car garage
    Who carries the boom box in the entourage
    Me, Mike, goddammit, Me

    Oh that's great!!! It's my life's mission to convert everyone to listen to Todd. There are very few artists (our own PJ being one) that hit me immediately and became part of me like Todd. He is one of Americas greatest songwriters living today. :)

    :D:D

    "Halloween"

    So it's Halloween
    And you feel like dancin'
    And you feel like shinin'
    And you feel like letting loose

    Whatcha gonna be
    Babe, you better know
    And you better plan
    Better plan all day

    Better plan all week
    Better plan all month
    Better plan all year

    You're dressed up like a clown
    Putting on your act
    It's the only time all year
    You'll ever admit that

    I can see your eyes
    I can see your brain
    Baby, nothing's changed
    [repeat]

    You're still hiding in a mask
    You take your fun seriously
    No, don't blow this year's chance
    Tomorrow your mold goes back on

    After Halloween

    You go to work today
    You'll go to work tomorrow
    Shitfaced tonight
    You'll brag about it for months

    Remember what I did
    Remember what I was
    Back on Halloween

    But what's in between
    Where are your ideas
    You sit around and dream
    For next Halloween

    Why not everyday
    Are you so afraid
    What will people say
    [repeat]

    After Halloween

    Because your role is planned for you
    There's nothing you can do
    But stop and think it through
    But what will the boss say to you

    And what will your girlfriend say to you
    And the people out on the street they might glare at you
    And whadya know you're pretty self-conscious too

    So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes
    Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed
    Why don't you take your social regulations
    And shove 'em up your ass
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    another great PJ cover, but one i never got to hear live

    now my grandfather was a sailor
    he blew in off the water
    my father was a farmer
    and i, his only daughter
    took up with a no good millworking man
    from massachusetts
    who dies from too much whiskey
    and leaves me these three faces to feed
    millwork ain't easy
    millwork ain't hard
    millwork it ain't nothing
    but an awful boring job
    i'm waiting for a daydream
    to take me through the morning
    and put me in my coffee break
    where i can have a sandwich
    and remember
    then it's me and my machine
    for the rest of the morning
    for the rest of the afternoon
    and the rest of my life
    now my mind begins to wander
    to the days back on the farm
    i can see my father smiling at me
    swinging on his arm
    i can hear my granddad's stories
    of the storms out on lake erie
    where vessels and cargos and fortunes
    and sailors' lives were lost
    yes, but it's my life has been wasted
    and i have been the fool
    to let this manufacturer
    use my body for a tool
    i can ride home in the evening
    staring at my hands
    swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
    ought to stand a better chance
    so may i work the mills just as long as i am able
    and never meet the man whose name is on the label
    it be me and my machine
    for the rest of the morning
    and the rest of the afternoon
    gone for the rest of my life
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Day after day, alone on the hill,
    The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
    But nobody wants to know him,
    They can see that he's just a fool.
    And he never gives an answer .....

    But the fool on the hill,
    Sees the sun going down.
    And the eyes in his head,
    See the world spinning around.

    Well on his way, his head in a cloud,
    The man of a thousand voices, talking perfectly loud.
    But nobody ever hears him,
    Or the sound he appears to make.
    And he never seems to notice .....

    But the fool on the hill,
    Sees the sun going down.
    And the eyes in his head,
    See the world spinning around.

    And nobody seems to like him,
    They can tell what he wants to do.
    And he never shows his feelings,

    But the fool on the hill,
    Sees the sun going down.
    And the eyes in his head,
    See the world spinning around.
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and

    Fire
    The sun is well asleep
    Moon is high above
    Fire grows from the east
    How is this
    Hate so deep
    Lead us all so blindly killing killing
    Fools we are
    If hate's the gate to peace
    This is the last stop
    For raining tears
    War
    The only way to Peace
    I don't fall for that
    Raining tears
    You're righteous so righteous
    You're always so right
    Go ahead and dream
    Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
    Raining tears
    Oh no
    Gracious even God
    Bloodied the cross
    Your sins are washed enough
    Mother's cry
    Is hate so deep
    Must a baby's bones
    This hungry fire feed
    As smoke clouds roll in
    The symphony of death
    This is the last stop
    Scream
    Right is wrong now
    Shut up you big lie
    This black and white lie
    You comb your hair to hide
    Your lying eyes
    You're righteous, so righteous
    You're always so right
    But why your lie
    Go ahead and dream
    Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
    This is the last stop
    Here there's more than is showing up
    Hope that we can break it down
    It's not so black and white
    You're righteous
    You're righteous
    You're righteous
    You're always so right
    There you are nailing a good tree
    Then say forgive me, forgive me
    Why
    Raining tears
    This is the last stop
    Here there is more than is showing up
    Hope that we can break it down
    It's not so black and white

    I hear the clock, its six a.m.
    I feel so far away from where Ive been
    I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too
    Got my maple syrup, everything but you
    I break the yolks and make a smiley face
    I kinda like it in my brand new place
    I wipe the spots off of the mirror, dont leave the keys in the door
    I never put wet towels on the floor anymore cause

    Dreams last so long, even after youre gone
    I know, that you love me and soon you will see
    You were meant for me and I was meant for you

    I called my momma, she was out for a walk
    Consoled a cup of coffee but it didnt wanna talk
    So picked up a paper, it was more bad news
    More hearts being broken or people being used
    Put on my coat in the pouring rain
    I saw a movie it just wasnt the same
    cause it was happy and I was sad and
    It made me miss you oh so bad cause

    Dreams last so long, even after youre gone
    I know, that you love me and soon you will see
    You were meant for me and I was meant for you

    I go about my business, Im doing fine
    Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
    Same old story, not much to say
    Hearts are broken every day

    I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
    I know you hate it when I leave the light on
    I pick up a book and turn the sheets down and then
    Take a deep breath and a good look around

    Put on my pjs and hop into bed
    Im half alive but I feel mostly dead
    I, I try and tell myself itll be all right
    I just shouldnt think anymore tonight cause

    Dreams last so long, even after youre gone
    I know, that you love me and soon you will see
    You were meant for me and I was meant for you
    Yeah, you were meant for me and I was meant for you

    Just in case this actually works in the other direction!! :)
    NOPE!!!
