The Trapeze Swinger - Iron And Wine

Please remember me happily, by the rosebush laughing
with bruises on my chin the time when we counted every
black car passing your house beneath the hill and
up until someone caught us in the kitchen with maps,
a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision to remove dimensions,
but please remember me fondly.
I heard from someone you’re still pretty and then they
went on to say that the pearly gates had some
eloquent graffiti like we’ll meet again and fuck the man
and tell my mother not to worry and angels with their
gray and shades but all is done in such a hurry and
please remember me at Halloween making fools of all the neighbors
our faces painted white by midnight we’d forgotten one another
and when the morning came I was ashamed
only now it seems so silly that seasons left the world and then returned
and now you’re lit up by the city
so please remember me mistakenly in the window of the tallest tower
call and passes by but much to high to see
the empty road at happy hour gleam and resonate
just like the gates around the holy kingdom
with words I’ve lost and found and don’t look down
did someone save temptation and please remember me
as in the dream we had as rug burn babies among
the fallen trees and fast asleep beside the lions and
the ladies that called you what you like and even mine
give a gift for your behavior of lead and chance to see
a trapeze swinger high as in a savior but
please remember me, my misery and how it lost me all I wanted
those dogs that loved the rain and chasing trains
the colored birds above they’re running in circles round the well
and where it smells on the wall behind St. Peter so bright
on cinder gray and spray paint. who the hell can see forever?
and please remember me soundly in the car behind the carnival
my hand between your knees you turn from me said
the trapeze act was wonderful but now were meant to last
the clowns that passed saw me just come up with anger
when it filled the circus dolls the parking lot had an element of danger
so please remember me finally and all my uphill crawling
my dear but if I make the pearly gates I’ll do my best to make a drawing of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl, an angel kissing on a sinner, a monkey and a man, a marching band all around a fractured trapeze swinger.

Guns N' Roses - The Blues

All the love in the world couldn't save you
All the innocence inside
You know I tried so hard to make you
ohhhh, to make you change your mind

And it hurts too much to see you
And how you left yourself behind
You know I wouldn't want to be you
Now there's a hell I can't describe

So now I wander through my days
Trying to find my way
To the feelings that I felt
I saved for you and no one else

And though as long as this road seems
I know it's called "The Street of Dreams"
but that's not stardust on my feet
It leaves a taste that's never sweet
That's called the blues

I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
You know it's what we planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore

I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
Though it's what we planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful, don't live inside of you anymore

What this means to me is more than I know you'd believe
What I thought of you now has cost more than it should for me
What I thought was true before were lies I couldn't see
What I thought was beautiful, is only a memory

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Straight to You

The Ship Song

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

Here Come The Tits


She's taking over

Here come the tits

She's taking over

Here come the tits



This 'aint no Marti-Gras

This 'aint no mama's place

We're on the beach

Here come the tits



Here come the slides

Here come the fits

Here come the times

We thought would never end like this



Here comes the cans

Here comes the hits

Here comes the night that never ends

Here comes the tits



It's not a cliché

In no uncertain terms

No fucking way



It's not a cliché

[The Heron Outside]

Joy by Against Me!

All's quiet, except for this song.
So maybe while I'm not together I can feel like I'm not alone.
And somewhere off in the distance, rapidly advancing, is an onslaught of sorts.
Young sirens wail in a skewed sense of glory.
And the lions in the cages roar at the memory of fight.

And there's a joy, a joy in all I can see.
A joy, in every possibility.

And all around us is a great, great failing.
American rockets red-glare in a most
disgusting triumph.
And in passing I am asked "Do you believe in a God?",
I shrug off the answer, continue to get high
in this terror of no explanation.
I am looking for a faith.
My panic is an only reason.

There's a joy, a joy in all I can see.
A joy, in every possibility.

[The Horrible Esthete]

Happy peanuts soar
Over chocolate-covered mountaintops
And waterfalls of ca-a-ramel
:wink:

Prancing nugget in the meadow
Sings a song of satisfaction to-ooo the world

Yell Fire!- Michael Franti and Spearhead

A revolution never come with a warning
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution just arrived like the morning
Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snoring

They tellin' you to never worry about the future
They tellin' you to never worry about the torture
They tellin you that you'll never see the horror
Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow
Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas
Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer
Tell all the children in the arms of their mommas
The F-15 is a homicide bomber

TV commercials for a popping pill culture
Drug companies circling like a vulture
An Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father
Ten years from now is anyboby gonna bother

Yell Fire, yo, yo ,yo
Here we come, here we come
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Revolution a comin'
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Everyone addicted to the same nicotine
Everyone addicted to the same gasoline
Everyone addicted to a technicolour scream
Everybody trying to get their hands on same green
From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy
All of the riches taken back by needy
We come from the country and we come from the city
You play us on the record, you can play us on the CD
All the shit you given us is fertilizer
The seeds that we planted you can brutalize them
Tell the corporation you can never globalize you
Like Peter Toss said Legalize It
Girls and boys hear the bass and treble
Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel
Throw your hands up, take it to another level
And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devil

Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Here we come, here we come
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Revolution a comin'
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

I LOVE THIS TOWN - JPE


Listen up kid
It’s not what you think
Stayed up too late
Had a little too much to drink
Walked home across the bridge
When the Marquee shut down
There’s a reason that I love this town

Nobody cares how much money you have
If you’ve got enough to get in a cab
There’ll be drinks on the house if your house burns down
There’s a reason that I love this town

I saw your band in the early days
We all understand why you moved away
We’ll hold a grudge anyway

I shot the shit with Miniature Tim
If he needs a tune, then I’ll write one for him
We like the same books and we like the same sounds
There’s a reason that I love this town

I played a show
In Kelowna last year
They said pick it up Joel
We’re dying in here
Picture one hand clapping
And picture half that sound
There’s a reason that I hate that town

If you saw my band in the early days
Then you’ll understand why we moved away
But you’ll hold a grudge anyway
Because it’s fun

Davey and me
Face down in our soup
In some French restaurant
Outside Riviere Du Loup
Last night out on tour
We burned the place to the ground
There’s a reason that I love this town
There’s a reason that I love this town
There’s a reason that I love this town

[Hard Canadian]

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
