Hatesong by Porcupine Tree

"This is a hate song just meant for you
I thought that I'd write it down while I still could
I hope when you hear this you'll want to sue"

...or The Sound Of Muzak by Porcupine Tree

"The music of rebellion
Makes you want to rage
But it's made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age"

With six inch heels and a pink flashlight

wandering the face of the earth
wonderingt what our dreams might be worth
learning that we're only immportal -
for a limited time

every single word of "circle game" by joni mitchell

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

 

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same.
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim.

Rush – The Sphere: A Kind Of Dream

 

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

from Windfall by Son Volt

 

"It doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you"

Old Man-Neil Young

 

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage.

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

--Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here

 

Their love was meant to last forever, them together;
But the loved ones in our world will come and go.
Their time and lives go quickly by, and she still cries,
Remembering that autumn night that left her all alone.

-- Droopy_TX (favorite lyric that I've written)

 

One of mine...

Old Friend (I'll Have To Run)

it’s funny how it’s good
to have you as a friend
even though you’re like a stray
I never should have fed
and I’ve accepted the notion
you’ll always be around
wonderin how I’ve been
as that first one goes down

(chorus)
here we go
again
two old friends
I’ll play the part
I always do
lay all my fears
and hurt on you
when you start feelin empty
I’ll be about done
it’ll be closing time anyway
then I’ll have to run
.....aint I always had to run

(second verse )
I always was the one
who never took the blame
any time one was leavin
denial named the game
and through all the years you’ve listened
never gave your point of view
there’s times I’ve sat and wondered
who’s really using who

(chorus)
here we go
again
two old friends
I’ll play the part
I always do
lay all my fears
and hurt on you
when you start feelin empty
I’ll be about done
it’ll be closing time anyway
then I’ll have to run
.....aint I always had to run

(bridge)
what’s that they say about all bottled up
I’ve got me enough to fill two
so I’ll pour it out as I pour you in
let it flow and give me some room

(chorus)
here we go
again
two old friends
I’ll play the part
I always do
lay all my fears
and hurt on you
when you start feelin empty
I’ll be about done
it’ll be closing time anyway
then I’ll have to run
.....aint I always had to run

You're in a fight to the death my friend
Black metal t-shirts your shield
You've got your past on your breath my friend
Now name all the monsters you've killed
Let's name all the monsters you've killed

So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
And happiness is what you need so bad
Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah

“We came here to entertain you, leaving here we aggravate you. Don’t you know it means the same to me...”

I looked for you at every fiesta
For you I wanted to meet
Maybe I’d sell you a chicken
With poison interlaced with the meat.

Greetings from the North,

Hear the sounds of life and death
surging through the dank cement
Merge with the infinite
But I'm not ready for that yet...
