[self biased]

so, static-x.

so i've betrayed self
so i've betrayed you
so what now?
so what do we do?

pushing you away
away from me

so i'm, i'm confused
so you're not amused
so i'm feeling used
so what do we do?

pushing you away
away from me

empty inside
i'm dying, i'm crying
she makes me bad
betrays my head
empty inside
i'm dying, i'm crying
she makes me bad

Shoot The Moon
Norah Jones


The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?
And now the fall is here again
You can’t begin to give in
It's all over
When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season
Will you think of times you told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

The Truth About Men
Tracy Byrd

We don't like to go out shopping
We don't care what's on sale
We just want to sit with a bag full of chips
Watching the NFL
When you come over at halftime
And say does this dress fit too tight
We just look you in the eye with a big fat lie
and say It looks just right

Well that's the truth about men
Yeah that's the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf on our days off
Scratch and spit and cuss
It don't matter what line we hand you
When we come dragging in
We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry,
and its probably gonna happen again.

We hate watching Steel Magnolias
We like Rambo and Die Hard 4
Jump up and down like fools when we see
the new tools at the Home Depot Store
We really don't want to take you to dinner
At some fancy restaurant
The only reason we do is cause we know
it leads to the one thing that We all want

Well that's the truth about men
Yeah that's the truth about guys
We'd rather pick guitars and work on cars
Then work on the problems in our lives
And though we might say it to you every now and then
We aint wrong, we aint sorry,
and its probably gonna happen again.

But if you want to know what were all thinking
Its nothing too complex
Its just something cold for drinking and a whole lot of S E yeeees

That's the truth about men
Yeah that's the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf and drive around lost
Scratch and spit and a whole lotta other disgusting stuff
It don't matter what line we give you when we come crawling in
We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry, and its probably gonna happen again.

We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry, and its probably gonna happen

Sure its gonna happen

You know its gonna happen again

And that's the truth about men.

A Soldier's Song
Peadar Kearney

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song
With cheering, rousing chorus
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we await the morning's light
Here in the silence of the night
We'll chant a soldier's song.

Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come from a land beyond the waves.
Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland
Shall shelter the despot or the slave;
Tonight we man the bearna baoghal
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal;
'Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal
We'll chant a soldier's song.

In valley green or towering crag
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us,
We're children of a fighting race
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march the foe to face,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
The long watched day is breaking;
The serried ranks of Innisfail
Shall set the tyrant quaking.
Our camp fires now are burning low;
See in the east a silv'ry glow,
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
So chant a soldier's song.

Diggin' On James Brown
Tower Of Power


I've been through all them changes,
A lot of stuff came down.
I've dealt with all the issues,
You might say I've been around.
But back when I got started,
There was a righteous sound.
It doesn't matter what I've been through,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.
Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
I had an attitude adjustment,
I did some psycho therapy.
I helped myself to some self-help,
I dabbled in some ESP.
Though my world is ever-changing,
And I move from town to town,
It doesn't matter where I've been to,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.
Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
You got your rap and your disco,
You got your drum machine.
You got your R-rated gangster,
You got your grungy scene.
You got your state of the art,
You got your digital sound.
It doesn't matter where it's going to
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
Take it to the bridge,
It'll get ya where ya live.
When there's water all around,
You can still get outta town,
And still be diggin' on James Brown.
Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.
Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

Jack Danial's Night

I Drink Alone
George Thorogood

I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
You know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea
Just me and good buddy Wiser,
that's all I ever need
'Cause I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping,
and I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel's,
and his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to a party,
but I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
and his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me,
and it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me,
is my dear old granddad
And we drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The Outsider, A Perfect Circle.

Help me if you can
It's just that this is not the way
I want it so could you please,

Help me understand what
I've given in to all the years
And this darkness I have known

Lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come on to this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a *****, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, no more legiments
Narcisistic, drama queen, craving fame and all this decadance

Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Go to this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a *****, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come on to this , why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, come to this, come to this

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your darma prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here

The Highwayman
Stevie Nicks


Alas he was the highwayman
The one that comes and goes
And only the highway-woman
Keeps up with the likes of those
And she in all her magic
With hands as quick as light
Took him to be a challenge
And went into the night


And he in all his glory
Was far ahead of her
But she was never sorry
For wishes that would burn
Enter competition
She chases beneath the moon
Her horse is like a dragonfly
She is just a fool


And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be Queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream


And then he sees her coming
Heartbeats on the wind
Considers slowing down
But then...he could never win
And she...out in the distance
Sees him against the sky
A pale and violent rider
A dream begun in wine


And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be Queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream


A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her highwayman disappears
on a life already lived before
In eyes welled with tears


Today and still today they ride
Will they ever win
He the glory...
She the love...
Still they try again
He the glory...
She the love...
Still they try again
He the glory...
She the love...
And still they...try...again

Ride On
ACDC



It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head

That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -

I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep dragging on

Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat

But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -

Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days

Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on

Two For Tuesday; Todd Rundgren

I Saw The Light

It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you

So we walked along
Though I knew that there was
Something wrong
And a feeling hit me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and
The answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes
Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
Till that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run
Though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one
Or so I said
But my feelings for you were just something
I never knew
Till I saw the light in your eyes
But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest (ha ha)
'Cause you're different girl from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes

----------------------------------------------------------

Tiny Devils


One of them plays a piccolo in my ear
Another one makes me smell things that aren't there
And they know where to hide
And they know everything that's inside
Of my head
Tiny demons, inside me

One of them ties a lasso around my heart
Another makes me nod when I drive the car
And they won't ever leave
But they won't show their faces to me
And they wait 'til I feel
Like they're gone and they jump out and steal
My relief
Tiny demons, inside me

Listen, listen
Listen for the sound
that is not in the music
Only you can hear it,
only you can use it
It's the sound of someone breathing,
it's the breath of life
It's the sound that you are weaving
with the thread of life

Listen, listen
Listen to the sound,
let nothing disturb you
You are in a place
where nothing can hurt you
If you feel a strange sensation,
it can do no harm
Like the spiral of creation,
it will soon move on

Heartaches By The Number
Ray Price


Heartache number 1 was when you...left me,
I never knew that I could hurt this way,
And heartache number 2,
Was when you...come back again,
You came back and never meant to stay.
Chorus
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score,
Every day you love me less,
Each day I love you more,
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win,
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.
Heartache number 3 was when you...called me,
And said that you was coming back to stay,
With hopeful heart I waited,
For your...knock on the door,
I waited but you must have lost your way.
Repeat Chorus

Jesus Christo, I'm too emo - but I had to share this.

Busy
Unfun LP/CD, Busy 7"

When all the consoling places
lose their charm and change their faces.
The world becomes too cruel to bear
and something in you starts to tear.
When nothing seems to be quite worth it
and sleep becomes your only sure thing.
I'm here to help you out of it.
Come and see me for a lift.

We're all close to the end.
Don't you need a friend?
Honor your allegiances.
Everyone is drowning in sand.
Couldn't you use a hand?
Please don't make me guess.

When changes make the world a stranger.
No one calls and yout life's in danger.
If the money's gone without a trace
and you're longing for a familiar face.
Cars collide and people die.
You begin to shake 'til you start to cry.
If disasters only start to multiply.
My door is open. Drop on by.

We're all close to the end.
Don't you need a friend?
Honor your allegiances.
Everyone is drowning in sand.
Couldn't you use a hand?
Please don't make me guess.

Sad again, you're sad again.
Hey, you're breaking down.
Sad again, you're sad again.
Your eyes betray your new smile.

When keeping up is killing you
and you need a ruling without a clue.
When being cool means being dead
and your better thoughts are better left unsaid.
If you're sad to see your gun's unloaded.
Tried to drown but you only floated.
If the world is only getting colder,
I'd like to offer you a dry shoulder.

We're all close to the end.
Don't you need a friend?
Honor your allegiances.
Everyone is drowning in sand.
Couldn't you use a hand?
Please don't make me guess.

Sad again, you're sad again.
Hey, you're breaking down.
Sad again, you're sad again.
Your eyes betray your new smile. Whoa!
