Three good buddies were laughing and smokin' in the back of a rented Ford.....
They couldn't know they weren't going far......
They couldn't know they weren't going far......

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick and start to run.
Find out I'm the chosen one.
Big black shape with eyes of fire
telling people their desire
Satan sitting there he's smiling.
watches those flames get higher and higher.
Oh no, please God help me.
Is it the end my friend?
Satan's coming round the bend.
people running cause their scared.
You people that are going beware.
No. No. Please No......
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick and start to run.
Find out I'm the chosen one.
Big black shape with eyes of fire
telling people their desire
Satan sitting there he's smiling.
watches those flames get higher and higher.
Oh no, please God help me.
Is it the end my friend?
Satan's coming round the bend.
people running cause their scared.
You people that are going beware.
No. No. Please No......

"Fade Into You" - Mazzy Star
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take the breath that's true
I look to you, and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart, and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take the breath that's true
I look to you, and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart, and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

"Robber's Highway" - John Hiatt
Can't feel the fingers of one hand
Last night felt like a three-night stand
Mouth full of cotton, feet of clay
I didn't plan on waking up today
I had heart, wheels and wings
Now I don't have any of these things
Come and get me, Jesus, I don't know
Come and get me 'cause I can't go
I lost my brothers, I lost my friends
Only one way this thing ends
Cheap and dirty in a bad motel
Wondering what it was you used to do so well
I had words, chords and strings
Now I don't have any of these things
Come and get me, Jesus, I don't know
Come and get me 'cause I can't go
Shirt and pants, coffee black
Open up the shade a crack
Fields of cotton, fields of clay
Sun going down on a Robber's Highway
Winds that whistle, birds that sing
I've no understanding of any of these things
Come and get me, Jesus, I don't know
Come and get me 'cause I can't go
Can't feel the fingers of one hand
Last night felt like a three-night stand
Mouth full of cotton, feet of clay
I didn't plan on waking up today
I had heart, wheels and wings
Now I don't have any of these things
Come and get me, Jesus, I don't know
Come and get me 'cause I can't go
I lost my brothers, I lost my friends
Only one way this thing ends
Cheap and dirty in a bad motel
Wondering what it was you used to do so well
I had words, chords and strings
Now I don't have any of these things
Come and get me, Jesus, I don't know
Come and get me 'cause I can't go
Shirt and pants, coffee black
Open up the shade a crack
Fields of cotton, fields of clay
Sun going down on a Robber's Highway
Winds that whistle, birds that sing
I've no understanding of any of these things
Come and get me, Jesus, I don't know
Come and get me 'cause I can't go
This lyrical line from Metallica's Fixxxer:
"BUT TELL ME, CAN YOU HEAL WHAT FATHER’S DONE?
OR FIX THIS HOLE IN A MOTHER’S SON?
CAN YOU HEAL THE BROKEN WORLDS WITHIN?
CAN YOU STRIP AWAY SO WE MAY START AGAIN?
TELL ME, CAN YOU HEAL WHAT FATHER’S DONE?
OR CUT THIS ROPE AND LET US RUN?
JUST WHEN ALL SEEMS FINE AND I’M PAIN-FREE
YOU JAB ANOTHER PIN, JAB ANOTHER PIN IN ME"
"BUT TELL ME, CAN YOU HEAL WHAT FATHER’S DONE?
OR FIX THIS HOLE IN A MOTHER’S SON?
CAN YOU HEAL THE BROKEN WORLDS WITHIN?
CAN YOU STRIP AWAY SO WE MAY START AGAIN?
TELL ME, CAN YOU HEAL WHAT FATHER’S DONE?
OR CUT THIS ROPE AND LET US RUN?
JUST WHEN ALL SEEMS FINE AND I’M PAIN-FREE
YOU JAB ANOTHER PIN, JAB ANOTHER PIN IN ME"
I crucified my hate and held the world within my hand.
I've been a thrash/metal/progressive/Rock/
top40/punk/Sorry not a Dead Head- Bass player
Metallica music is good
But lyrics are their best attribute
In my opinion anyway.
The entire lyric of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel has always held a special place for me.
You're first, I'm last
Your thirst, I'm asked to justify
Killing our last heaven beast
Don't hunt the whale
In beauty vision
Do we offer much
If we reason with destiny, gonna lose our touch
Don't kill the whale
Rejoice they sing
They worship their own space
In a moment of love, they will die for their grace
Don't kill the whale
If time will allow
We will judge all who came
In the wake of our new age to stand for the frail
Don't kill the whale
Your thirst, I'm asked to justify
Killing our last heaven beast
Don't hunt the whale
In beauty vision
Do we offer much
If we reason with destiny, gonna lose our touch
Don't kill the whale
Rejoice they sing
They worship their own space
In a moment of love, they will die for their grace
Don't kill the whale
If time will allow
We will judge all who came
In the wake of our new age to stand for the frail
Don't kill the whale
“And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will”
But I probably will”
Windfall by Son Volt
Now and then it keeps you running
It never seems to die
The trail's spent with fear
Not enough living on the outside
Never seem to get far enough
Staying in between the lines
Hold on to what you can
Waiting for the end
Not knowing when
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel
May the wind take your troubles away
Trying to make it far enough, to the next time zone
Few and far between past the midnight hour
You never feel alone, you're really not alone
Switching it over to AM
Searching for a truer sound
Can't recall the call letters
Steel guitar and settle down
Catching an all-night station somewhere in Louisiana
It sounds like 1963, but for now it sounds like heaven
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Now and then it keeps you running
It never seems to die
The trail's spent with fear
Not enough living on the outside
Never seem to get far enough
Staying in between the lines
Hold on to what you can
Waiting for the end
Not knowing when
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel
May the wind take your troubles away
Trying to make it far enough, to the next time zone
Few and far between past the midnight hour
You never feel alone, you're really not alone
Switching it over to AM
Searching for a truer sound
Can't recall the call letters
Steel guitar and settle down
Catching an all-night station somewhere in Louisiana
It sounds like 1963, but for now it sounds like heaven
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Don't wanna be your tourniquet
For minor lacerations
Don't wanna be your Romeo
Cuz you're no god damn Juliet
1 of probably thousands of lyrics or lines
from songs that have shown me a part of my life ,
I didn't wanna see
Ya know what I mean
