I ain't lookin' to compete with you,
Beat or cheat or mistreat you,
Simplify you, classify you,
Deny, defy or crucify you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

No, and I ain't lookin' to fight with you,
Frighten you or tighten you,
Drag you down or drain you down,
Chain you down or bring you down.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

I ain't lookin' to block you up
Shock or knock or lock you up,
Analyze you, categorize you,
Finalize you or advertise you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to straight-face you,
Race or chase you, track or trace you,
Or disgrace you or displace you,
Or define you or confine you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to meet your kin,
Make you spin or do you in,
Or select you or dissect you,
Or inspect you or reject you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to fake you out,
Take or shake or forsake you out,
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,
See like me or be like me.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

"The Ize Of The World" - The Strokes

I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
'cause they'll be try to knock you down in some way
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?

Your mind would wander and searched for its place in the night
Your body followed this feeling like following light
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud

You're sad but you smile
It not in your eyes
Your eyeballs won't change
It's the muscles around your eyes

An egg to fertilize
A pulse to stabilize
A body to deodorize
A life to scrutinize
A child to criticize
Young adults to modernize
Citizens to terrorize
Generations to desensitize

You're dreams are sweet and obsessed
And your overworked
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers)
Be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
Am I a prisoner to instincts?
Or do my thoughts just live
As free and detached
As boats to the dock?

Just like when music was born
And detached from your heart
Is your free time to free minds
Or for falling apart?

Night after night
You turn out the light
You don't fall asleep right away
"Are we... are we done?"

A desk to organize
A product to advertise
A market to monopolize
Movie stars you idolize
Leaders to scandalize
Enemies to neutralize
No time to apologize
Fury to tranquilize
Weapons to synchronize
Cities to vapor-i

Do you wake up every day
In a world that seems crazy
A world you love to hate
Are you scared, do you feel pretty safe
Do you think you have nothing
You think you have it made

You know it feels like i'm going insane
I've done everything you've told me to take away the pain
Then you changed my medication again
It's getting harder to tell just who or what's insane

Do you nightmares tear you apart
Do you wake up screaming, shouting in the dark
Do you the demons keep you awake
Does the clock tick more slowly with every breath you take

You know it feels like i'm going insane
I've done everything you've told me to take away the pain
Then you changed my medication again
It's getting harder to tell just who or what's insane

Does each day seem like the next
You turn on in the morning
Coz turning off's the best
Do you think that it'll never change
Or does mass self-delusion meddle with your brain

You know it feels like i'm going insane
I've done everything you've told me to take away the pain
Then you changed my medication again
It's getting harder to tell just who or what's insane

You say I think I know it all (I think I know it all)
I think I know the way (I think I know the way)
You're giving me the power (You're giving me the power)
By making me insane

You know iit feels like i'm going insane
Well maybe I love you better a little bit derranged
But it may be a different way
If it keeps on the way it's going
There'll be no-one staying sane

Big Muff - John Martyn

Well the man upstairs always lends an ear
To the man downstairs, even though he doesn't care
The man up the spiral staircase would love to sympathise
With the man downstairs and the same old phrase.

Big Muff, can't you see I've had enough?
God knows you're trying to kill me.
Big Muff, Get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're killing me.

It's like an allergy with no apology
It saps my energy,and denies my integrity
Big Muff, get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're killing me
Good Lord knows you're stifling me
God, Lord knows you're trying to kill me.

Well the man upstairs has learned it from his wife
But the man downstairs has got trouble in his life
The man upstairs don't notice what is wrong
Every time he sees his neighbour singing that same old song.

Big Muff, get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're trying to kill me
Big Muff, get away with your terrible stuff
God knows you're killing me.

This thing is dangerous
I tell you it's serious
No need to be envious
It's bigger than both of us.

Big Muff, can't you see that I had enough
Lord knows you're trying to kill me.

Well, the man downstairs has moved away for good
Like the man upstairs always knew he would
The man downstairs has moved and gone away
And a girl upstairs every night can hear him say.

Big Muff, get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're killing me
Big Muff, can't you see I've had enough
God knows you're stifling me.

It's like an allergy
With no apology
It saps my energy
Most contemporaneously.

Big Muff, can't you see that I've had enough
God knows you're stifling me
God knows you're stifling me
Oh lord knows you're trying to kill me.

Here come the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
Other half die

Here come the man
With the look in his eye
Fed on nothing
But full of pride
Look at them go
Look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside

Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces
Listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell

ANNA MOLLY
Incubus

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea.
I watch the ships pass & wonder if she might beout there & sober as well from loneliness.
Please do persist, girl it’s time we met & made a mess.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.
A cloud hangs over & mutes my happiness.
A thousand ships couldn’t sail me back from distress.

Wish you were here I’m a wounded satellite.
I need you now, put me back together, make me right.
I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

I’m calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!

Wait… there is a light… there is a fire
De-fragmenting the attic.
Fate? Or something better? I could care less,
just stay with me a while.
Wait… there is a light… there is a fire
illuminated attic.
Fate? Or something better? I could care less,
just stay with me a while.
I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

I’m calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git.

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

Sam's Town
The Killers

Nobody ever had a dream round here,
but I don't really mind and/that it's starting to get to me
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here,
but I don't really mind and/that it's starting to get to me

I've got this energy beneath my feet
like something underground's gonna come up and carry me,
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
but I don't really mind (and) it's starting to get to me

Now.."Why do you waste my time?"
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
so scared of what they'll find
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home,
every now and then...

Oh, have you ever seen the lights?
Have you ever seen the lights?

I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride,
where the people on the pen pull trigger for accolade
I took a bullet, I looked inside
Running through my veins
An American masquerade

I still remember Grandma Dixie's way/wake,
I never really known anybody to die before
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake,
And my brother, he was born on the fourth of the July...and that's all

"So why do you waste my time?"
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges,
so scared of letting me shine
But I know that I can make it,
as long as somebody takes me home...

Wooooooo!

(every now and then) [x2]

(You know) I see London, I see Sam's Town
holds my hand and let's my hair down
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see Sam's Town

this song deserves repeating

i've got this energy beneath my feet...
like something on the grounds gonna come up and carry me

A KISS TO SEND US OFF
Incubus

Meet me here
On November 11th, come alone.
Bring your mouth
& selective irreverence
we’ll both see stars. Just…
one more tongue kiss before the sky it falls
out from this cloud we’re hovering on!
(A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!)
Kill your doubt
With the coldest of weapons; confidence.
No more words
just the sound of resplendent
tongues colliding.
One more tongue kiss before the sky it falls
out from this cloud we’re hovering on!
(A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!)
Here I am
there you are
on a wire connecting our hearts
there’s a string
that is tied
to a kite.
There’s a storm
in the sky
now the clouds become electric.
Here I am
there you are.
Could I…
Have a…
Kiss to send us off? A Kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!
A Kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A Kiss to send us off!

DIG
Incubus

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easier to identify. Look me in the eye
& ask for forgiveness;
we’ll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs us,
at least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you’ll count on the me from yesterday.
If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me.
Sing this song
remind me that we’ll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
that cleverly attaches & multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you’ll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
OK, each other… when everything else is gone.

illegal pants · December 2006

I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Take a little dope
And walk out in the air
The stars are all connected to the brain.
Find me a woman and lay down on the ground,
Her pleasure comes falling down like rain,
Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly,
Oh now I'm really in control,
It all looks fine to the naked eye,
But it don't really happen that way at all,
Don't happen that way at all.

You sign your own name and I sign mine,
They're both the same but we still get separate rooms,
You can cover up your guts but when you cover up your nuts,
You're admitting that there must be something wrong,

Press any button and milk and honey flows,
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall,
It all looks fine to the naked eye,
But it don't really happen that way at all,
Nah nah no, don't happen that way at all.

You hold the gun and I hold the wound,
And we stand looking in each other's eyes,
Both think we know what's right,
Both know we know what's wrong,
We tell ourselves so many many many lies,
We're not pawns in any game, we're not tools of bigger men,
There's only one who can really move us all,

It all looks fine to the naked eye,
But it don't really happen that way at all....

Christmas
Blues Traveler

Comes the time for Christmas
And I really have to ask
If this is feeling merry
How much longer must it last
I wish a one horse open sleigh
Would come carry me away
But I've been waiting here all day
And one just hasn't come my way
Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent
But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Save me from my righteous doubt as I watch helpless
And everybody sings
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza
Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth
Peace on earth to everyone
And abundance to everyone you're with
Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da
Comes the time for Christmas
And as you raise your Yuletide flask
There's like this feeling that you carry
As if from every Christmas past
It's as if each year it grows
It's like you feel it in your toes
And on and on your carol goes
Harvesting love among your woes
I want to buy into the benevolent
And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Make me know what it's about
As the longing in me makes me want to sing
Noel or Navidad
Season celebration or just the end of the year
Christmas can mean anything
And I mean to keep its hope forever near
Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
By loves own hand
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
And good will to man
At twenty below the winter storm it billows
But the fire is so warm inside
And the children while nestled in their pillows
Dream of St. Nicholas's ride
And how the next day they'll get up and they will play
In the still falling Christmas snow
And together we'll celebrate forever
In defiance of the winds that blow
My god in heaven now I feel like I'm seven
And spirit calls to me as well
As if Christmas had made the winter warmer
Made a paradise from what was hell
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
By loves own hand
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
And good will to man.......
I wish a one horse open sleigh would come carry me away
And I'll keep waiting through next May
Until Christmas comes my way

Would their smile be content
Rather than crying?
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And in it you'll find...Hawai'i

UA MAU KE EA O KA AINA I KA PONO O HAWAI'I

If just for a day our king and queen
Would visit all these islands and saw everything
How would they feel 'bout the changing of our land
Could you just imagine if they were around
And saw highways on their sacred grounds
How would they feel 'bout this modern city life

Tears would come from each others eyes as
They would stop to realize
That our people are in great, great danger now

How would they feel
Would their smiles be content
Rather than cry
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the lands that were taken away
And in it you'll find Hawai'i

UA MAU KE EA O KA AINA I KA PONO O HAWAI'I

Could you just imagine if they came back
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each others eyes as
They would stop to realize
That our land is in great, great danger now

All of the fighting that the king had done
To conquer all these islands
Now there's condominiums
How would he feel if saw Hawai'i now?

How would he feel
Would his smiles be content
Rather than cry
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the lands that were taken away
And in it you'll find Hawai'i

UA MAU KE EA O KA AINA I KA PONO O HAWAI'I.

My lips are shaking my nails are bit off.
Been a month since I've heard myself talk.
All the advantage this life's got on me.
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea.

And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me be right.
I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show.

Oh, I walked the line when you held me in that night.
I walked the line when you held my hand that night.

An empty shell seems so easy to crack.
Got all these questions. Don't know who I could even ask.
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me.

And I stay in bed. Oh, little ive seen there.
If just once I could feel love, oh, I'd say it like I mean it. Yeah.

But I walked the line when you held me in that night.
Oh, I walked the line when you held my hand that night.
Oh, I walked the line when you held me close that night.
I paid the price. Never held you in real life.
My lips are shaking...

Christmas Time is Here
Vince Guaraldi Trio - Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

you never look my way
you don't even care
do i freak you out
can't help it if i stare
i'd give you everything
if you'd show me what to do
but i'd settle for one glance
after all you've put me through
i'm tired of being nothing
something's got to give
can we just be something
something

cause i don't know what to do
tripped up over you
i'm helpless here
why can't you read my mind

stuck inside my head
i lose my point of view
you make such a mess of me
does it matter what i do
i'm tired of being nothing
something's got to give
i've got to do something
anything

i've got to say something
so tired of being nothing
i've got to do something
anything

i don't know what to do
tripped up over you
i'm helpless here
why can't you read my mind
i don't know what to say
you always turn away
you don't even know that i'm alive
i don't know what to do
tripped up over you
i'm helpless here
why can't you read my mind

you always turn away
you don't even know that i'm alive

Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)
Incubus

I'm home alone tonight
Full moon illuminates my room, and sends my mind aflight
I think I was dreaming up some thoughts that were seemingly possible
With you

So I call you on the tin can phone
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we're alone
I may have found a way for you and I to finally fly free

When we get there, we're gonna go far away
Making sure to laugh, while we experience anti-gravity

For years, I kept to myself
Now potentialities are bound, and sleeping under my shelf
Simply choose your destination from the diamond canopy
And we'll be there

So I call you on the tin can phone
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we're alone
I may have found the way for you and I to finally be free
