JJ72 October Swimmer

the dreams of dying mothers
i awoke, my insides shuddered
the greycoats of the infantry
victims looking for sympathy
and splash of october swimmers
the cheers of helsinki winners
my barbed bones of futility
leeking marrow of ability

and i don't need anyone
and you don't need anyone

i want to be a happy boy
this means that you must employ my lies
when i want you

and i don't need anyone
i want to be a happy boy
this means that you must employ my lies

[solo]

and i don't need anyone
and you don't need anyone

i want to be a happy boy
this means that you must employ my lies
when i want you
and i don't need anyone
and i don't need anyone
and i don't need anyone

JJ72 - Algeria

escaping contamination
is a difficult operation
i need some hibernation
hide me from the evil
protect me from the vultures

the men and the women
drink and make children
they need some hibernation
to hide them from the evil
protect them from the vultures
guide me through the colours

spring it dies
summmer arrives
summer dies
autumn arrives
autumn dies
winter arrives
forever and ever
ever and ever

i need this hibernation
to stray with deviation
to gather some information
hide me from the evil
protect me from the vultures
guide me through the colours

spring it dies
summer arrives
summer dies
autumn arrives
autumn dies
winter arrives
forever and ever
ever and ever
ever and ever

[solo]

spring it dies
summmer arrives
summer dies
autumn arrives
autumn dies
winter arrives
spring it dies
summmer arrives
summer dies
autumn arrives
autumn dies
winter arrives
forever

Blur - Out of Time
Where's the love song
Set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way round
And I don't know what love will be
But if we start dreaming now
Lord knows we'll never clear the clouds

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
Gone are the future
Way out in space

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time?
We're out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time

Wild Thing by The Troggs

Wild thing...you make my heart sing...
You make everything
Groovy
I said wild thing...

Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on, hold me tight
I love you

Wild thing...you make my heart sing...
You make everything
Groovy
I said wild thing...

Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
So come on, hold me tight
You move me

Dumb by Nirvana

I'm not like them
but I can pretend
The sun is gone
but I have a light
The day is done
but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy...
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke
but I have some glue
Help me inhale
and mend it with you
We'll float around
and hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
and have a hangover...
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up...

I'm not like them
but I can pretend
The sun is gone
but I have a light
The day is done
but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy...
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

I think I'm dumb

DOCTOR MY EYES

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

TENDER IS THE NIGHT


Between the darkness on the street
And the houses filling up with light
Between the stillness in my heart
And the roar of the approaching night
Somebody's calling after somebody
Somebody turns the corner out of sight
Looking for somebody
Somewhere in the night
Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight
Tender are the motions, tender is the night
Between a life that we expected
And the way it's always been
I can't walk back in again
After the way we fight
When just outside there are people laughing
Living lives we used to lead
Chasing down the love they need
Somewhere in the night
Tender is the night
And the benediction of the neon light
Tender are the hunters, tender is the night
You're gonna want me tonight
When you're ready to surrender
Forget about who's right
When you're ready to remember
It's another world at night
When you're ready to be tender
Tender, tender tender...
And in the hard light of an angry sun
No one remembers what was said or done
Tender are the words they choose
You win, I win, we lose
Tender
Tender is the night
Tender
The benediction of the neon light
Tender
Tender are the hunters
Tender is the night
When they hold each other tight
Tender
Tender are the undercover
Tender
The stranger and the secret lover
Tender
Tender are the motions
Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight
Tender, tender tender...

Fire Inc - Tonight Is What It Means (To Be Young)
Lyrics by Jim Steinman

I got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach
And the perfect waves are starting to come
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
And his touch has got the power to stun.

I got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
His body's glowing in the jewels of light
And the earth below him's starting to shake.

But I don't see any angels in this city
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
And if I can't get an angel
I can still get a boy
And a boy would be the next best thing
The next best thing to an angel
A boy would be the next best thing.

I got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
And the thunder of a drum in his ears.

I got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
Looking down upon the rim of the world
He's there all alone and he's dreaming of someone like me
I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl.

I got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lying in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight it's for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over
(Over)
Before you know it's begun
(Before you know it's begun)
It's all we've really got

Tonight!
Stop your crying, hold on
Tonight!
Before you know it, it's gone
Tonight!
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young.

Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the restless and the broken hearted
Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken hearted

Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the restless and the broken hearted
Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken hearted.
Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
Cos no matter what it seems tonight is what it means to be young

Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it, it's gone
Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it, it's gone.
I got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lying in the rays of the sun

But it's only a dream and tonight it's for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over
(Over)
Before you know it's begun
(Before you know it's begun)
It's all we've really got

Tonight!
Stop your crying, hold on
Tonight!
Before you know it, it's gone

Tonight!
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young.

Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the restless and the broken hearted
Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken hearted
Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the restless and the broken hearted
Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken hearted.

Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
Cos no matter what it seems tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young
No matter what it seems

Tonight is what it means to be young
The things they say and then the things they do
Nothing's gonna stop us if our aim is true.
The things they say and then the things they do
Nothing's gonna stop us if our aim is true.

How to Disappear COmpletely by Radiohead

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Long As I Can See The Light
Creedence Clearwater Revival


Put a candle in the window
'cause I feel I gotta move.
Thought I'm goin' goin'
I'll be comin home soon
long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and let's get moving
'cause I'm bound to drift a while.
When I'm gone gone
you don't have to worry
long as I can see the light.

Guess I've got that travelin' bone
'cause this feeling won't leave alone.
But I won't won't
be losin' my way
long as I can see the light.

Triple Shot Thursday; Dave Matthews Band

Granny

Hello, how are you doing today
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm So glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night
I say its love thats hiding deep, deep down, inside us all
So maybe, we should let it up above from deep inside
Love , your tears they fall like rain, now tell me
Baby your hearts into a thousand pieces
Stop only the old and wise, with clouded eyes,
You can't see what I can't hide
Blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next pretty girl to come my way
So here we are all of us stand around
We're leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it lies behind
the worried eyes of one another
I Believe its love that's hiding there
in the shadows, in the darkness
Maybe we'll shed a little light and it will shine
Love when I approach, my tears that fall like rain as you know
Maybe, my heart's into a thousand pieces
Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can see
Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way
I say its love so share it out
Share it far and share it ever
Maybe things are better world and they could be ours
Love as I approach the tears they fall like rain you tell me
Baby your heart's into a thousand peices dashed
Stop
Only old and wise with clouded eyes
You can see what I can
I blindly throw my faith
To the face of the next good thing to come my way

Jimi Thing

You've got your ball
you've got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up again
Who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you
You come crash into me
And i come into you,
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so i know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me
In my haste
When I'm holding you so girl...
close to me
Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hack up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show your world to me
In a boys dream...In a boys dream
Oh i watch you there
through the window
And i stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me,
crash into me
crash into me
crash into me
crash into me
I'm the king of the castle
You're the dirty rascle
Crash into me
Oh see you crash into me baby,
'Cause I am swimming in your seas
And in your ocean
And I feel your waves come and crash into me
Oh yes I see the waves come and crash into me
Oh yes I feel the waves come and crash into me
I will be your dixie chicken,
If you'll be my Tennessee lamb,
We can walk together
Down in Dixieland
Crash into me,
Crash into me
hey hey yeah
Crash into me
Crash into me
oh, and you come crash into me.

Sleep To Dream Her

I know I'll miss her later,
Wish I could bend my love to hate her,
Wish I could be her creator,
To twist her arms now,
She stares up at the stars when,
The stars fell from her hair then,
I bent down to collect them,
And then she was gone,
I sleep just to dream her,
I beg the night just to see her,
That my only love should be her,
Just to lie in her arms,
Oh I came there to find out,
Find out if she's made up her mind ohh,
My arms are all tied up,
To me she was blind.
This space between us
Where wingless dreams fall earless,
Will you not bear me witness,
With your back to me now,
It seems so unnerving,
Still somehow deserving,
That she could hold my heart so tightly,
And still not see me here.
Oh I sleep just to dream her,
Beg the night just to see her,
That my only love should be her,
Just to lie in her arms,
I know I'll miss her later,
Wish I could bend my love to hate her,
Wish I could be her creator,
To be the light in her eyes.

Bell Bottom Blues
Eric Clapton

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I don't want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.


Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.


It's all wrong, but it's all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won't find a better loser.


Chorus

Chorus

Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye.
I'm sure we're gonna meet again,
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover.


Chorus

I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I long to stay.

[boann]

Roy Orbison--Dream

Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rising rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream (Repeat)

Gimme Back My Bullets:
Lynarnd Skynard
Lyrics: (Allen Collins -- Ronnie Vanzant)

Life is so strange when it’s changin’, yes indeed
Well I’ve seen the hard times and the pressure’s been on me
But I keep on workin’ like the workin’ man do
And I’ve got my act together, gonna walk all over you

Gimme back my bullets
Put ’em back where they belong
Ain’t foolin’ around ’cause I done had my fun
Ain’t gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets

Sweet talkin’ people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But I’m leavin’ this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry ’cause I do not sing the blues

Gimme back my bullets
Put ’em back where they belong
Ain’t foolin’ around ’cause I done had my fun
Ain’t gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh, put ’em back... where they belong

Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well I’ve been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I got it back, I’m feelin’ better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way

Gimme back my bullets
Put ’em back where they belong
Ain’t foolin’ around, ’cause I done had my fun
Ain’t gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh put ’em back where they belong
Gimme back my bullets

Note: Apparently this wasnt the original verson of House of the Rising Sun. I found alternate lyrics that I didn't know about.


House Of The Rising Sun
ANIMALS

There is a house in New Orleans, they call the "Rising Sun",
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know, I'm one.

My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans,
my father was a gambling man,
down in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs,
is a suitcase and chum
and the only time, he'll be satisfied, is when
he's on a drum.

Oh mother, tell your children,
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery,
In the "House of the Rising Sun"

Well, now one foot on the platform,
The other foot on the train,
I'm going back to New Orleans,
To wear that ball and chain.

Well, there is a house in New Orleans,
They call the "Rising Sun",
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
And God, I know, I'm one.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
The Ataris


got out of bed today
I'm alive, what can I say?
I'm really happy to be
somewhere with someone who makes me happy.

I took the bus downtown.
all day long I walked around
I looked at all the sights
and thought about how lucky I am now.

I was sick of feeling down.
so I gave it all away.
2000 miles from all I know
and so much better off today.
I'm still waiting for the world.
to come crashing down again.
and I'm still waiting for someone
to call me up and tell me your dead.
sometimes I wonder what was
going through your head
I don't know but I won't go there again.

you make me smile so wide
when I look into your eyes.
when your not around
you know your somewhere stuck inside my mind.

so here I am today
I was lost for 20 years
I found clarity
the day I took a chance
and moved away.

Innocent by Fuel

Satan, you know where I lie
Gently I go, into that good night

All our lives get complicated
Search for pleasure's overrated
Never armed our souls
For what the future would hold
when we were innocent
Innocent

Angels, lend me your might
Forfeit all my lives to get just one right

All those colors long since faded
All our smiles are confiscated
Never were we told
that we'd be bought and sold
when we were innocent
Yeah

Yeah this prayer is for me tonight
This far down that line
And still ain't got it right

Oh and while confessions not yet stated
Our next sin is contemplated
Never did we know
What the future would hold
Or that we'd be bought and sold
No
when we were innocent

[SlowwHand]

The Boys Are Back In Town
Thin Lizzy

Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed that much to say
But man, I still think those cats are crazy

They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told 'em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)

You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she got
When I say she was cool she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'

And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town

Just spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em

That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long till the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)

The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)

The boys are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boys are back in town again
