Me to respect me
And count me
Every word you throw
Heavily to weight

Here with man you've tangled
And leave the serpantines
To tell apart my doll
The men from the littlemen

Many women I've left
for your favor my lady
to have the demand
for you to go with my waters

Here with man you've tangled
and leave the serpantines
To tell apart my doll
The men from the little men

Crazy woman look
little brain to put
homemadely and nicely
close to me to pull it

Here with man you've tangled
and leave the serpantines
To tell apart my doll
The men from the little men

Dallas
10000 Maniacs

Chorus:
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?
Dallas is a jewel
Yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight
Dallas is a jungle
But Dallas gives a beautiful light
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?

Now Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you`re down
But when you are up she`s the kind you wanna take around
Now Dallas ain`t a woman to help you get your feet on the ground
And Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you`re down

Oh, I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind
I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime

Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes
A steel concrete soul with a warm-hearted love in disguise
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies
I say, Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his yes

Oh, I came into Dallas with the brights lights on my mind
I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime

Chorus

[B]Peacekeeper
Stevie Nicks
(Lindsey Buckingham)[/B[


We make all of our sons the same
Every one will suffer the fire we've made
They all explode just the same
And there's no going back on the plans we've made


Peacekeeper take your time
Wait for the dark of night
Soon all the suns will rise


Peacekeeper don't tell why
Don't be afraid to fight
Love is the sweet surprise


Ooh...ooh...


Only creatures who are on their way
Ever poison their own well
But we still have time to hate
And there's still something we can sell


Peacekeeper take your time
Wait for the dark of night
Soon all the suns will rise


Peacekeeper don't tell why (don't tell why)
Don't be afraid to fight
Love is the sweet surprise


When the night is cold and still
When you thought you'd had your fill
Take all the time you will
This is not a test, it's not a drill
Take no prisoners, only kill


Ooh...ooh...


You know all of our friends are gods
And they all tell us how to paint our face
But there's only one brush we need
It's the one that never leaves a trace (leaves a trace, leaves a trace)


Peacekeeper take your time (peacekeeper take your time)
Wait for the dark of night (wait for the dark of night)
Soon all the suns will rise (soon all the suns will rise)


Peacekeeper don't tell why (peacekeeper don't tell why)
Don't be afraid to fight (don't be afraid to fight)
Love is the sweet surprise (love is the sweet surprise)


Peacekeeper take your time (take your time)
Wait for the dark of night
Soon all the suns will rise (soon all the suns will rise)


Peacekeeper don't tell why (peacekeeper don't tell why)
Don't be afraid to fight (don't be afraid to fight)
Love is the sweet surprise (love is the sweet surprise)


When the night is cold and still
When you thought you'd had your fill
This is not a test, it's not a drill
Take no prisoners, only kill

Two For Tuesday; Joe South

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY


Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean

And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Chorus
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play

Oh we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame

Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
It's a dirty rotten shame

Repeat Chorus

People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelulia
And they're tryin to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board

Repeat Chorus

Look around tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am

Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turns you sad on humanity
And you don't give a da da da da da

Repeat Chorus

Walk A Mile In My Shoes


If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Well, your whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow

So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw


Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another
'cause I don't think or wear my hair same way you do
Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a 'hurtin you,


Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I

If I only had the wings of little angels don'tcha you know I'd fly
To the top of the mountain and then I'd cry?


Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes


Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes,


Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Hasta Siempre Comandante

Aprendimos a quererte
desde la histrica
donde el sol de tu bravura
le puso cerco a la muerte.
Aqu se queda la clara
la entraable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte
sobre la historia dispara
cuando todo Santa Clara
se despierta para verte.
Aqu se queda la clara
la entraable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Vienes quemando la brisa
con soles de primavera
para plantar la bandera
con la luz de tu sonrisa.
Aqu se queda la clara
la entraable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Tu amor revolucionario
te conduce a nueva empresa
donde esperan la firmeza
de tu brazo libertario.
Aqu se queda la clara
la entraable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Seguiremos adelante
como junto a ti seguimos
y con Fidel te decimos
Hasta siempre, Comandante !
Aqu se queda la clara
la entraable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Abbiamo imparato ad amarti
altura dalla storica altura
dove il sole del tuo coraggio
ha posto l'assedio alla morte.
Ci rimane la chiara
la pregnante trasparenza
della tua cara presenza
Comandante Che Guevara.
La tua mano gloriosa e forte
spara sulla storia
quando tutta Santa Clara
si risveglia per vederti.
Ci rimane la chiara
la pregnante trasparenza
della tua cara presenza
Comandante Che Guevara.
Arrivi bruciando la brezza
con soli di primavera
per piantare la bandiera
con la luce del tuo sorriso.
Ci rimane la chiara
la pregnante trasparenza
della tua cara presenza
Comandante Che Guevara.
Il tuo amore rivoluzionario
ti porta verso nuove imprese
dove aspettano la fermezza
del tuo abbraccio libertario.
Ci rimane la chiara
la pregnante trasparenza
della tua cara presenza
Comandante Che Guevara.
Andremo sempre avanti
come abbiamo fatto con te
e con Fidel ti diciamo
Hasta siempre, Comandante !
Ci rimane la chiara
la pregnante trasparenza
della tua cara presenza
Comandante Che Guevara.

Avanti popolo, alla riscossa
Bandiera rossa, bandiera rossa
Avanti popolo, alla riscossa
Bandiera rossa trionferà

Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Evviva il socialismo e la libertà


Non più nemici, non più frontiere
Sono i confini rosse bandiere,
lavoratori alla riscossa
bandiera rossa trionferà


Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Bandiera rossa la trionferà
Evviva il socialismo e la libertà

More Today Than Yesterday
Spiral Starecase


I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow

Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, oh, how I love ya

Our Time

I may be dead honey
but i was left with my eyes
and underneath sugar
well i've been stung by your lies
and my heart baby
is cold and blue
We're two of a kind baby
Me and You
It's our time sweet baby
To Break on through

It's the year to be hated
so glad that we made it
Cuz all the kids in the street
Whisper sounds that sweet
The stars under their feet
Well it's the year to be hated

One two ready go

to be hated
All right

to be hated
all right
well it's the year to be hated

Vagelis Germanos

I'd like to be a gardener

I’d like to be, I’d like to be a gardener
In a coral garden at the seabed
Old ?pouros? miracle worker
With the elements of the night to be getting drunk

I’d like to be I’d like to be a shoemaker
To count time by the hammer
Her little glass high heel
To hide and that no one finds it

Put pace and come to the dance
Laugh you too golden little love
your tear is my immortal water

I’d like to be, I’d like to be a hunter
Lost in a magical forest
Like Orhpeus, the musician
To be eaten by the witches

But since I’m not, but since I’m not a hunter
That I was our love’s guardian
That I’ll be a shipwrecker in your apron

Put pace and come to the dance
Laugh you too golden little love
your tear is my immortal water

You Can Do Magic
America

I never believed in things that i couldn't see
I said if i can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then i saw you

I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now i know there can be no doubt

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when i can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears

You can do magic

BETH
KISS
(Peter Criss)

Beth I hear you calling
But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playing
And we just can't find the sound

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do

You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't our home
I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do

Beth I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
'Cos me and the boys will be playing all night

I really remember you when you drank my wine

I'd kinda' like to be the president
So I could show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends

Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Warren Zevon

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Straight from the bottle, twisted again
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Well, I take this medicine as prescribed
I'll sleep when I'm dead
It don't matter if I get a little tired
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I've got a .38 special up on the shelf
I'll sleep when I'm dead
If I start acting stupid
I'll shoot myself
I'll sleep when I'm dead

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Polk Salad Annie
Tony Joe White


If some of ya'll never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this, so that you'll understand
What I'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the
woods and the fields,
looks somethin' like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it Polk salad. Polk salad.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
she'd go out in the evenings and pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat,
But they did all right.

Down in Louisiana Where the alligators grow so mean
There lived a girl that I swear to the world Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad Annie polk salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang
(a mean, vicious woman)

Everyday 'fore supper time She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess o' Polk salad And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her mama was aworkin' on the chain-gang
(a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
Lord have mercy. Pick a mess of it)

Her daddy was lazy and no count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her mama was a working' on the chain gang
(Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a mess of it)

december,static-x. i know i've posted this recently... but, it's just so apropos. **grin**

i still feel the cold
of long past days
i knew my worth
put in my place
it's no surprise
i realized some time before
december
sun shines through haze
i put my thoughts
toward future days
it's no surprise
i close my eyes
and close the door
feeling so old
years pass like days
fastly changing
so many ways
my eyes perceive
yes i believe in nothing more
