The Beatles - Nowhere Man
(me at the moment)

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else
Lends you a hand
Ah, la, la, la, la

Doesn't have a point of view
knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

NA NA HEY HEY KISS HIM GOODBYE
Steam

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

He'll never love you, the way that I love you
'Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn't make you cry
He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love)
So dog-gone willin'
So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. Wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss him goodbye, now

Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

Listen to me now

He's never near you to comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin' baby from your eyes
He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love)
So dog-gone willin'
So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. I wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss him goodbye, na-na na-na-na na na

Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

[fade in]
Hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

Eulogy by TOol


He had a lot to say.
He had a lot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.
We'll miss him.
He had a lot to say.
He had a lot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.
We'll miss him.
We are gonna miss him
We are gonna miss him.
It's So long now.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry now.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.
We'll miss him.
We are gonna miss him.
We are gonna miss him.
There is no way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.
But it was so Loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.
Will you?
Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you ****in lie.
Don't you step out of line.
Don't you ****in lie.
You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?
You had a lot to say.
You had a lot of nothing to say.
Come down.
Get off your ****in cross.
We need the ****in space to nail the next fool martyr.
To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies.
[sic]Goodbye...

Triple Shot Thursday; Bonnie Raitt

Love Sneakin' Up On You


Rainy Night, I'm All Alone
Sittin' Here Waitin' For Your
Voice on the Phone
Fever Turns to Cold, Cold Sweat
Thinkin' About the Things We Ain't Done yet

Tell me now, I've got to know,
do you feel the same
Do you just light up at the mention of my name?

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you

Nowhere on Earth for your heart to hide
Once love comes sneakin' up on your blind side
And you might as well try to Stop the Rain
Or stand in the tracks of a Runaway Train
You just can't fight it when a thing's meant to be
So come on let's finish what you started with me

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you

Something To Talk About


People are talking, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, Darlin'.


I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous,
Could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, Darlin'.

Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

Let's give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

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

You Got It


Everytime I look
Into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money
Just can't buy

One look from you
I drift away
I pray that you
Are here to stay

CHORUS
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
You got it
Anything at all
You got it
Baby

Everytime I hold you
I begin to understand
Everything about you
Tells me I'm your best friend
I live my life
To be with you
No one can do
The things you do

CHORUS

I'm glad to give
My love to you
I know you feel
The way I do

[Sprayber]

I've Got A Plan

No More Mister Nice Guy
Alice Cooper


I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me.
I opened doors for little old ladies,
I helped the blind to see.
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
They can't be seen with me
and I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm feeling mean.

No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.

I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
They can't be seen with me
and I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm getting mean.

No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.

My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.
Ma's been thrown out of the social circle,
And dad has to hide.
I went to church incognito.
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
He recognized me,
And punched me in the nose.
he said

No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say your sick, he's obscene.

She Don't Give A Damn

You Don't Know How It Feels
Tom Petty

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me

But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I got to go
And you don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me

Nice Girls Are Mean To

Free Fallin
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

She's a good girl, loves her mama
loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day livin' in Reseda
there's a freeway runnin' through the yard
and I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

Chorus
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, I'm free fallin'

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
move west down Ventura Blvd.
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, I'm free fallin'

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I gonna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, I'm free fallin'

For Little Chase: Born 3 months too early

Will The Circle Be Unbroken
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band & Friends


I was Standin' by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day.
When I saw That Hearse come rollin',
For to carry my Mother away

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by
There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky, Lord, in The sky

I said to that undertaker,
"Undertaker,please drive slow.....
For this lady you are carrying,
Lord I hate to see her go."

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by
There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky, Lord, in The sky

Oh I'd follow close behind her,
Tried to hold up and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by
There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky, Lord, in The sky

I went back home, but home was lonesome,
This my mother she was gone
All my brothers, and sisters cryin'
What a home so sad and 'lone

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by
There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky, Lord, in The sky

We sang the songs of childhood,
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother way back taught us
And the angels sang along.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by
There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky, Lord, in The sky

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by
There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky, Lord, in The sky

Zounds
Demystification

I look out the window and I wonder at it all,
Staring at the symbols that decorate the wall,
And everybody's calling to come and join them all,
But I can't go with no one till I understand the call.

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

My electronic shaver won't plug into the wall,
Now I can't go to the party the electrician didn't call,
And I hear they're counting numbers in a store down in Whitehall,
So much information what can they do with it all?

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

Some people talk of Shiva and some they talk of God,
Some talk of politicians and some they talk of love,
Demystify their heroes with the chances we could take,
I'm not looking for escapism I just want to escape.

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

placebo - you don't care about us

If it's a bad day, you try to suffocate
Another memory...scarred
If it's a bad case, then you accelerate
You're in the getaway...car

You don't care about us (oh oh)
You don't care about us (oh oh)
You don't care about us (oh oh)
You don't care about us

If it's a bad case, you're on the rampage
Another memory...scarred
You're at the wrong place, you're on the back page
You're in the getaway...car

You don't care about us (oh oh)
You don't care about us (oh oh)
You don't care about us (oh oh)
You don't care about us

It's your age, It's my rage
It's your age, It's my rage

You're too complicated, we should separate it
You're just confiscating, you're exasperating
This degeneration, mental masturbation
Think I'll leave it all behind, save this bleeding heart of mine

It's a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust

Because

You don't care about us
You don't care about us
You don't care about us
You don't care about us

It's your age, It's my rage
It's your age, It's my rage

Robert Brewer was a good friend from high school.
He died from complications during surgery, and his funeral is tomorrow.
This song is in Robert's memory.



WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY (AGAIN)
(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1973)


Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'.
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.

Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.

So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you.
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend. Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end.
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby.

We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.

[Clear Skies]

I love this song. It's so antithetical to all the usual slush and drivel you get at Christmas (and Slade can't sing, by the way). Kirsty MacColl is the greatest.

Shane McGowen and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy ******
Happy Christmas you arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

And the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day...

for those of us who can't forgive anymore


Forgive
(Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce)

I always said that'd be it
That I wouldn't stick around
If it ever came to this
Here I am so confused
How am I supposed to leave
When I can't even move
In the time that it would've took to say
"Honey I'm home, how was your day"
You dropped a bomb right where we live
And just expected me to forgive

Well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

I should ask but I won't
Was it love or just her touch
'Cause I don't think I want to know
So get you some things and get out
Don't call me for a day or two
So I can sort this out
Well you might as well've ripped the life
Right out of me, right here tonight
When through the fallen tears you said
Can you ever just forgive

Well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

Well you know what they say
Forgive and forget,
Relive and regret

Forgive, well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

It's too soon for me to say
Forgive

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart


I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

[SlowwHand]

Friends
Elton John

I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go

Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right


It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly

[Clear Skies]

Semisonic - One True Love

All above me the stars are bright
And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing
And down the block are the parking lights
Of a hundred friends who I barely know and
Don't know me
Don't know me
None of them know me

And all through the party I want to leave
All alone with one true love
I could be happy if I could be
In the dark with one true love

And in the middle of everyone
I still find myself with my thoughts alone
And in the middle of all the noise
Look around myself at the shining toys that
I don't need
I don't need
I don't really need

And all through the party I want to leave
All alone with one true love
All of the lights are shining on me
But all I want is one true love

In this world I can see
Many billions waiting in the sun
So I'd love to believe
There'd be one of us for everyone
One of us for everyone
Enough to go around
But that's not what I've found

And all through the party I want to leave
All alone with one true love
All of the lights are shining on me
All I want is one true love
All of my life I've just wanted to be
All alone with one true love
Every day and night to be on my own with
One true love
With one true love
