My young love said to me "My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding-day"

And she went away from me and moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then she went onward, just one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding-day"

^what's that from. Sad, sweet, beautiful. Almost guess Tom waits. But maybe too sweet for him.

Nice thanks

Oh my Marys
Never wonder
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver

All now with wings

My favourite version is from Marianne Faithful and her live album Blazing Away..

Then she drew the curtains down

And said, "When will you ever learn
That what happens there beyond the glass
Is simply none of your concern?
God has given you but one heart
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers

And God don't care for your benevolence
Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
Nor does he care for you to sit
At windows in judgement of the world He created
While sorrows pile up around you
Ugly, useless and over-inflated"..

''Reality is sharp
It cuts at me like a knife
Everyone I know
Is in the fight of their life
And I believe in a better way

Take your face out of your hands
And clear your eyes
You have a right to your dreams
And don't be denied
I believe in a better way''

GlowGirl · October 2020

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the songI'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

Lyrics: Nikos Kavvadias

Seven. It drags you to the left, don't stress it. The lot can fit in an empty palm.
You resemble closed chambers, you smell of land. The littlest one is making echoing sounds with a cane.
Sim polishes the two legs of the engine.
Rec oils the steering wheel when need arises.
With a feather Gobby exorcises the malaria And the bow-legged Haram is making pies.
From the bow they jump all the way to the crow's nest.
-Can I ever deny you a favor? Young blond and blue-eyed woman who always wondered Whose king's son shall drink her from a glass.
Cross-eyed Raman, you loonatic, that solve spells, manage the cross-shaped star of the north like heap to crash and scatter to the scuttles, and tell it to bring me below a tree.
Tot is missing a hand but he is always spinning, so as to provide habiliments for this incredible bunch.
Esther, which biblical intoxication are you spreading as you pass? Ruth, you don't speak? Why are we two hundred staggering?
Deaf Salah is sweaping the deck. -With a scraper take the ship's paint off of me.
But there is something deeper that stains me. -Son, where are you going? Mother I'm off to sail.
And so, along with the seven we descent. With the rain, with the weather that rules us.
Your eyes sustain a sea, i remember... The latter lulls me with a flute.
Deaf Salah is sweaping the deck. -With a scraper take the ship's paint off of me.
But there is something deeper that stains me. -Son, where are you going? Mother I'm off to sail.

When a person is born, A sorrow is also born.
When War fiercely rages, The bloodshed is immeasurably
I'm burning, I'm burning, Throw more oil on the fire
I'm drowning, I'm drowning, Throw me in a sea that's deep.

23scidoo · November 2020

If I could afford a breakfast
Of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs
If I hadn't been so reckless
When I lost my other leg
If there was an open doorway
Where I could be warm and dry
And visit with some memories
I made once upon a time..

Life would be wonderful..

Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

''It's the rainy season where I'm living
Death comes leaping out of every doorway
Wasting you for money, for your clothes
And for your nothing
Entire towns being washed away
Favelas exploding on inflammable spillways
Lynch-mobs, death squads, babies being born without brains
The mad heat and the relentless rains
Well if you stick your arm into that hole
It comes out shit up to the bone
And with her kisses bubbling on my lips
I swiped the rain and nearly missed
And then I went on down the road
He went on down that road''

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol
Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol
Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol
Oh, Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol

Cocaine, cocaine
Cocaine, oh
Cocaine

''So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing''

Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that
But then again, there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette"

GlowGirl · November 2020

There’s battle lines being drawn
And nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong

"Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets out of hand"
