    "A man needs something he can hold on to,
    a 9 pound hammer, or a woman like you.
    Either one of those things will do"
    Ray Lamontagne-Jolene
    Monkey Driven, Call this Living?
  • I've been down this road before
    I remember every tree
    Every single blade of grass
    Holds a special place for me
    And I remember every town
    And every hotel room
    And every song I ever sang
    On a guitar out of tune
    john prine-i remember everything

    She don't like her eggs all runny
    She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
    She looks down her nose at money
    She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
    She's my baby I'm her honey
    I'm never gonna let her go

    He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
    I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
    He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
    Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
    He's my baby
    And I'm his honey
    Never gonna let him go

    john prine- in spite of ourselves


    one of dylan's heroes, and mine. ripjp

    So little queen
    I'm endlessly running
    My notch of me
    I'm whispering soft dreams
    Oh, love
    The place we both were
    Galaxy, it's yours like perfect index
     
    Stay with me
    Breathe with me
    I always wanted someone like you
    Give me sun
    Give me time
    Give me life
    Give me love
    Give me life
    Give me love
    Give me life...

    AIC. Dirt

    I want to taste dirty, a stinging pistol
    In my mouth, on my tongue
    I want you to scrape me from the walls
    And go crazy like you've made me

    And save your line about needing to be free,

    From their 4th album 2112, RUSH took a chance and tried something new and different. The record company was NOT happy but they forged ahead and THIS album will still be fresh in the year 2112 long after we are all gone.

    III. Discovery

    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?

    See how it sings like a sad heart
    And joyously screams out its pain
    Sounds that build high like a mountain
    Or notes that fall gently like ra
    I can't wait to share this new wonder
    The people will all see its light
    Let them all make their own music
    The Priests praise my name on this night.

    IV. Presentation 

    To come before you so
    But I've found an ancient miracle
    I thought that you should know

    Listen to my music
    And hear what it can do
    There's something here as strong as life
    I know that it will reach you.

    Yes, we know it's nothing new
    It's just a waste of time
    We have no need for ancient ways
    The world is doing fine

    Another toy will help destroy
    The elder race of man
    Forget about your silly whim
    It doesn't fit the plan.

    I can't believe you're saying
    These things just can't be true
    Our world could use this beauty
    Just think what we might do.

    Listen to my music
    And hear what it can do
    There's something here as strong as life
    I know that it will reach you.

    Don't annoy us further
    We have our work to do.
    Just think about the average
    What use have they for you?

    Another toy will help destroy
    The elder race of man
    Forget about your silly whim
    It doesn't fit the plan.

    Peace

    "Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick,
    The one that makes me scream" she said,
    "The one that makes me laugh" she said,
    And threw her arms around my neck..
    Show me how you do it,
    And I promise you I promise that,
    I'll run away with you,
    I'll run away with you''

    ''And I who live here forever and keep leaving, the end before I see,
    every night that passes, I turn again, I become dark
    and I surrender, to your rhythm that is still burning,
    this body, which remains without shadow for years.
    Every night that passes like a movie
    and everything we experienced is projected against the backdrop of the square.
    Every night that always passes here
    and I keep leaving before we are left alone, I do not see the end''

    Greek song..

    But I crumble completely when you cry
    It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
    I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise
    Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

    you can’t call it cheating....she reminds me of you.

    if you don’t expect too much from me you might not be let down.

    your high hopes keep you alone.

    ''Tell me if you loved me as much as sun loved the dawn,
    as much as the grey sky loved some spring's rain,
    if you saw my fear behind every kiss,
    tell me if you loved as much as night loved the silence''

    ''And if you bury me,
    add three feet to it
    one for your sorrow, 
    two for your sweat
    three for the strange
    things we never forget

    and long after we're gone
    the light will stay on 
    and long after we're safe
    the lights will not fade''

    ''Those who feel the breath of sadness
    Sit down next to me,
    Those who find they're touched by madness
    Sit down next to me,
    Those who find themselves ridiculous
    Sit down next to me,
    In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
    In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
    In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
    In love, in fear, in hate..

    “Son come running
    You better come quick
    This rotgut moonshine is making me sick
    Your Mama called the law and they're gonna take me away
    Down so far even the Devil won't stay
    Where I call to the Lord with all my soul
    I can hear him rattling the chains on the door
    He couldn't get in I could see he tried
    Through the shadows of the cage around the forty watt light”
