    Dirty Pool

    STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN



    True love is gone
    I's been played for a fool
    True love is gone
    I's been played for a fool
    I'm turnin' the tables on you
    You been playin' dirty pool

    You said you'd call the shots darlin'
    All your friends thought that was cool
    You said you'd call the shots darlin'
    All your friends thought that was so cool
    Yeah, but when you shot at the eight ball baby,
    I knew you were playin' dirty pool

    They say that life
    life is a game of give 'n' take
    They say that life
    life is a game of give 'n' take
    I'm tellin' you one thing right now little baby,
    I won't be the one to pay for your mistakes

      Boys Don't Cry

      THE CURE


      I would say I'm sorry
      If I thought that it would change your mind
      But I know that this time
      I've said too much
      Been too unkind

      I try to laugh about it
      Cover it all up with lies
      I try and
      Laugh about it
      Hiding the tears in my eyes
      'cause boys don't cry
      Boys don't cry

      I would break down at your feet
      And beg forgiveness
      Plead with you
      But I know that
      It's too late
      And now there's nothing I can do

      So I try to laugh about it
      Cover it all up with lies
      I try to
      laugh about it
      Hiding the tears in my eyes
      'cause boys don't cry

      I would tell you
      That I loved you
      If I thought that you would stay
      But I know that it's no use
      That you've already
      Gone away

      Misjudged your limits
      Pushed you too far
      Took you for granted
      I thought that you needed me more

      Now I would do most anything
      To get you back by my side
      But I just
      Keep on laughing
      Hiding the tears in my eyes
      'cause boys don't cry
      Boys don't cry
      Boys don't cry

        crazy cracy cracy

        Alexander the Great [356 - 323 BC]

        IRON MAIDEN

        "My son, ask for thyself another kingdom,
        For that which I leave is to small for thee."

        Near to the East, in a part of ancient Greece,
        In an ancient land called Macedonia,
        Was born a son to Philip of Macedon,
        The legend his name was Alexander.

        At the age of nineteen, he became the Macedon king,
        And swore to free all of Asia Minor,
        By the Aegian Sea in 334 BC,
        He utterly beat the armies of Persia.

        Chorus:
        Alexander the Great,
        His name struck fear into hearts of men,
        Alexander the Great,
        Became a legend 'mongst mortal men.

        King Darius the third, Defeated fled Persia,
        The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes,
        Then Egypt fell to the Macedon king as well,
        And he founded the city called Alexandria.

        By the Tigris river, he met King Darius again,
        And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela,
        Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found,
        Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia.

        Chorus:
        Alexander the Great,
        His name struck fear into hearts of men,
        Alexander the Great,
        Became a god amongst mortal men.

        A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke,
        And Alexander cut the "Gordion knot",
        And legend said that who untied the knot,
        He would become the master of Asia.

        Hellenism he spread far and wide,
        The Macedonian learned mind,
        Their culture was a western way of life,
        He paved the way for Christianity.

        Marching on, Marching on.

        The battle weary marching side by side,
        Alexander's army line by line,
        They wouldn't follow him to India,
        Tired of the combat, pain and the glory.

        Chorus:
        Alexander the Great,
        His name struck fear into hearts of men,
        Alexander the Great,
        He died of fever in Babylon.

          Stranger in a Strange Land

          IRON MAIDEN

          Was many years ago that I left home and came this way,
          I was a young man full of hopes and dreams,
          But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained,
          Sometimes things ain't what they seem,
          No brave new world, no brave new world,
          No brave new world, no brave new world.

          Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky,
          My spirit wanders endlessly,
          Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why,
          Hear me calling, rescue me,
          Set me free, set me free,
          Lost in this place and leave no trace.

          Chorus:
          Stranger in a strange land,
          Land of ice and snow,
          Trapped here in this prison, yeah!
          Lost and far from home.

          One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way,
          To find the answer to the mystery,
          They found his body lying where it fell on that day,
          Preserved in time for all to see,
          No brave new world, no brave new world,
          Lost in this place, and leave no trace.

          Chorus:
          Stranger in a strange land,
          Land of ice and snow,
          Trapped here in this prison, yeah!
          Lost and far from home.

            The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

            IRON MAIDEN

            Tough of the track,
            With the wind,
            And the rain that's beating down on your back.
            Your heart's beating loud
            And goes on getting louder
            And goes on even more till the sound
            Is ringing in your head,
            With every step you tread,
            And every breath you take,
            Determination makes
            You run,
            Never stop,
            Gotta win, gotta run till you drop,
            Keep the pace,
            Hold the race,
            Your mind is getting clearer,
            You're over halfway there but the miles
            Just never seem to end
            As if you're in a dream,
            Not getting anywhere.
            It seems so futile.

            Chorus:
            Run, on and on,
            Run, on and on,
            The loneliness of the long distance runner.

            I've got to keep running the course,
            I've got to keep running and win at all costs,
            I've got to keep going, be strong,
            Must be so determined and push myself on.

            Run over stiles, across fields,
            Turn to look at who's on your heels,
            Way ahead of the field,
            The line is getting nearer but do
            You want the glory that goes,
            You reach the final stretch,
            Ideals are just a trace,
            You feel like throwing the race,
            It's all so futile.

            Chorus:
            Run, on and on,
            Run, on and on,
            The loneliness of the long distance runner.

              Losing My Religion by REM

              Life is bigger
              It's bigger than you
              And you are not me
              The lengths that I will go to
              The distance in your eyes
              Oh no I've said too much
              I set it up

              That's me in the corner
              That's me in the spotlight
              Losing my religion
              Trying to keep up with you
              And I don't know if I can do it
              Oh no I've said too much
              I haven't said enough
              I thought that I heard you laughing
              I thought that I heard you sing
              I think I thought I saw you try

              Every whisper
              Of every waking hour I'm
              Choosing my confessions
              Trying to keep an eye on you
              Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
              Oh no I've said too much
              I set it up

              Consider this
              The hint of the century
              Consider this
              The slip that brought me
              To my knees failed
              What if all these fantasies
              Come flailing around
              Now I've said too much
              I thought that I heard you laughing
              I thought that I heard you sing
              I think I thought I saw you try

              But that was just a dream
              That was just a dream


              (I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear by Blondie

              Was it destiny?
              I don't know yet
              Was it just by chance?
              Could this be Kismet?
              Something in my consciousness
              Told me you'd appear
              Now I'm always touched by your presence, dear
              When we play at cards you use an extra sense (it's really not cheating)
              You can read my hand, I've got no defence
              When you send your messages
              Whispered loud and clear
              I am always touched by your presence, dear

              Floating past the evidence of possibilities
              We could navigate together, psychic frequencies
              Coming into contact with outer entities
              We could entertain each one with our theosophies

              Stay awake at night and count your R.E.M.'s
              When you're talking with your super friends
              Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere
              I am still in touch with your presence dear
              I am still in touch with your presence dear
              I am still in touch with your presence dear, dear, dear, dear, dear


              Beautiful Day by U2

              The heart is a bloom
              Shoots up through the stony ground
              There's no room
              No space to rent in this town
              You're out of luck
              And the reason that you had to care
              The traffic is stuck
              And you're not moving anywhere
              You thought you'd found a friend
              To take you out of this place
              Someone you could lend a hand
              In return for grace

              It's a beautiful day - the sky falls
              You feel like it's a beautiful day
              Don't let it get away

              You're on the road
              But you've got no destination
              You're in the mud
              In the maze of her imagination
              You love this town
              Even if that doesn't ring true
              You've been all over
              And it's been all over you

              It's a beautiful day
              Don't let it get away
              It's a beautiful day

              Touch me, take me to that other place
              Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

              See the world in green and blue
              See China right in front of you
              See the canyons broken by cloud
              See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
              See the Bedouin fires at night
              See the oil fields at first light
              And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
              After the flood all the colours came out

              It was a beautiful day
              Don't let it get away
              Beautiful day

              Touch me - take me to that other place
              Reach me - I know I'm not a hopeless case
              What you don't have you don't need it now
              What you don't know you can feel somehow
              What you don't have you don't need it now
              Don't need it now
              It was a beautiful day
              "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                  I'd Really Love to See You Tonight
                  by England Dan & John Ford Coley

                  Hello, yeah, it's been a while.
                  Not much, how 'bout you?
                  I'm not sure why I called,
                  I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.
                  And I was thinking maybe later on,
                  We could get together for a while.
                  It's been such a long time,
                  And I really do miss your smile.

                  I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
                  And I don't want to change your life.
                  But there's a warm wind blowing,
                  The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

                  We could go walking through a windy park,
                  Or take a drive along the beach.
                  Or stay at home and watch t.v.
                  You see, it really doesn't matter much to me.

                  I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
                  And I don't want to change your life.
                  But there's a warm wind blowing,
                  The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

                  I won't ask for promises,
                  So you won't have to lie.
                  We've both played that game before,
                  Say I love you, then say goodbye.

                  I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
                  And I don't want to change your life.
                  But there's a warm wind blowing,
                  The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

                    Lonestar: you sucked 32 dicks?!?!?!!!

                    Oh my goodness no. During my "experimental" stage I only sucked 20 or so.

                    No, not really that, you pervs.

                    For the Fishies, after we took them out on a run Friday morning that some may construe as "hazing".


                    I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
                    Dan Tyminski

                    (In constant sorrow through his days )

                    I am a man of constant sorrow
                    I've seen trouble all my day.
                    I bid farewell to old Kentucky
                    The place where I was born and raised.
                    (The place where he was born and raised )

                    For six long years I've been in trouble
                    No pleasures here on earth I found
                    For in this world I'm bound to ramble
                    I have no friends to help me now.

                    (chorus) He has no friends to help him now

                    It's fare thee well my old lover
                    I never expect to see you again
                    For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
                    Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

                    (chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

                    You can bury me in some deep valley
                    For many years where I may lay
                    Then you may learn to love another
                    While I am sleeping in my grave.

                    (chorus) While he is sleeping in his grave.

                    Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
                    My face you'll never see no more.
                    But there is one promise that is given
                    I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

                    (chorus) He'll meet you on God's golden shore.
                    Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

                        (J. Hooker/A. Merrill)

                        I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
                        I knew he must a been about seventeen
                        The beat was goin' strong
                        Playin' my favorite song
                        An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
                        Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'

                        I love rock n' roll

                        So come an' take your time an' dance with me

                        He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
                        That don't matter, he said,
                        'Cause it's all the same

                        Said can I take you home where we can be alone

                        An' next we were movin' on
                        He was with me, yeah me

                        Next we were movin' on
                        He was with me, yeah me, singin'

                        I love rock n' roll
                        So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
                        I love rock n' roll
                        So come an' take your time an' dance with me

                        Said can I take you home where we can be alone

                        An we'll be movin' on
                        An' singin' that same old song
                        Yeah with me, singin'

                        I love rock n' roll
                        So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
                        I love rock n' roll
                        So come an' take your time an' dance with me
                        Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                          CAN'T YOU HEAR MY HEARTBEAT
                          Herman's Hermits


                          Every time I see you lookin' my way
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
                          In the car or walking down the highway
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

                          When you move up closer to me
                          I get a feelin' that's ooo-wee
                          Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat
                          'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love

                          When I feel you put your arms around me
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
                          Then I'm glad, I'm mighty glad I found you
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

                          When you asked me to meet your Man
                          I knew that baby, we'd be going far
                          Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat?
                          'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love

                          All my friends are cryin' out to meet you
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
                          Now's the time to go and see the preacher
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

                          Wedding bells are gonna chime
                          Baby, baby, you're gonna be mine
                          Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat
                          'cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love

                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
                          Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

                            Captain of Her Heart
                            - Double

                            It was way past midnight
                            And she still couldn't fall asleep.
                            This night the dream was leaving
                            She tried so hard to keep.

                            And with the new day's dawning
                            She felt it drift away.
                            Not only for a cruise
                            not only for a day

                            Too long ago, too long apart
                            She couldn't wait another day for
                            The captain of her heart.

                            As the day came up, she made a stop.
                            She stopped waiting another day for
                            The captain of her heart.

                            Too long ago, too long apart
                            She couldn't wait another day for
                            The captain of her heart.

                            Too long ago, too long apart
                            She couldn't wait another day for
                            The captain of her heart.

                            As the day came up, she made a stop.
                            She stopped waiting another day for
                            The captain of her heart.

                            Too long ago, too long apart
                            She couldn't wait another day for
                            The captain of her heart.

                              Blue eyes baby's got blue eyes
                              Like a deep blue sea
                              On a blue blue day
                              Blue eyes baby's got blue eyes
                              When the morning comes
                              I'll be far away
                              And I say

                              Blue eyes holding back the tears
                              Holding back the pain
                              Baby's got blue eyes
                              And she's alone again

                              Blue eyes baby's got blue eyes
                              Like a clear blue sky
                              Watching over me
                              Blue eyes I love blue eyes
                              When I'm by her side
                              Where I long to be
                              I will see

                              Blue eyes laughing in the sun
                              Laughing in the rain
                              Baby's got blue eyes
                              And I am Home, and I am home again

                                Smells like Nirvana
                                Al Yankovic


                                What is this song all about?
                                Can't figure any lyrics out
                                How do the words to it go?
                                I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
                                Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
                                Don't know, don't know, don't know...

                                Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
                                And I don't know what I'm singin'
                                Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
                                I still don't know what I'm singin'
                                We're so loud and incoherent
                                Boy, this oughta bug your parents
                                Yeah

                                It's unintel-ligible
                                I just can't get it through my skull
                                It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss(?)
                                With all these marbles in my mouth
                                Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
                                Don't know, don't know, don't know...

                                Well, we don't sound like Madonna
                                Here we are now, we're Nirvana
                                Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
                                Buy our album, we're Nirvana
                                A garage band from Seattle
                                Well, it sure beats raising cattle
                                Yeah

                                And I forgot the next verse
                                Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
                                The lyric sheet's so hard to find
                                What are the words? Oh, nevermind
                                Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
                                Don't know, don't know, don't know...

                                Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
                                But I don't know what I'm sayin'
                                What's the message I'm conveyin'?
                                Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
                                So have you got some idea?
                                Didn't think so -- Well, I'll see ya
                                Sayonara, sayonara
                                Ayonawa, odinawa
                                Odinaya, yodinaya
                                Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
                                Ayaaaaaah!
                                Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.
