[Baby-K]

For my dear friend who is going through a particularly rough time right now. I hope that these words bring some comfort.

Death is not the end - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

When you're sad and when you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end

And there's no one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Up in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end

When you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

This song was stuck in my head after watching the news.... i wonder why

REM- Its the end of the world

That's great,
it starts with an earthquake,
birds and snakes,
an aeroplane –
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane,
listen to yourself churn –
world serves its own needs,
don't misserve your own needs.
Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no.
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height.
Wire in a fire,
represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site.
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Look at that low plane! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed.
Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour.
Don't get caught in foreign tower.
Slash and burn, return,
listen to yourself churn.
Lock him in uniform and book burning,
blood letting.
Every motive escalate.
Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle,
light a motive.
Step down, step down.
Watch a heel crush, crush.
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier.
Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night
I tripped a nice continental drift divide.
Mount St. Edelite.
Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Breshnev,
Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel
fine...fine...

[WallRocker]

Artist : Switchfoot
Song : Meant To Live
Album: The Beautiful Letdown

Fumbling his confidence
And wond’ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

Brain Damage

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games
and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade
you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Ahhh-Floyd. Beautiful.

John Mayer- Your Body is a Wonderland.
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

'Cause if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

you want love?
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

Queen of the Stoneage - No One Knows

We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows

We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold

Oh, what you do to me
No one knows

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
Ahh

I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I found low

I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone

Pleasently caving in
I come undone

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool and mine
Ahhh

Heaven smiles above me
What a gift there below
But no one knows

A gift that you give to me
No one knows

Breaking Benjamin--Skin

Well I know you don't know the reason
and it's cold, a sign of the season
'cause you're old, and battered and beaten
and we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah

oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

well it's gone and it's not returning
and your clothes and pictures are burning
'cause you're old, and battered and beaten
and we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah

oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... perchÚ so come sono infatti chiedo...
Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... PERDONO
Con questa gioia che mi stringe il cuore
A quattro cinque giorni da Natale
Un misto tra incanto e dolore
Ripenso a quando ho fatto io del male
E di persone ce ne sono tante
Buoni pretesti sempre troppo pochi
Tra desideri, labirinti e fuochi
Comincio un nuovo anno io chiedendoti..
Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... perchÚ so come sono infatti chiedo...
Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... PERDONO

Dire che sto bene con te Þ poco
Dire che sto male con te.. Þ un gioco!
Un misto tra tregua e rivoluzione
Credo sia una buona occasione
Con questa magia di Natale
Per ricordarti quanto sei speciale
Tra le contraddizioni e i tuoi difetti
Io cerco ancora di volerti

Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... perchÚ so come sono infatti chiedo...
Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... PERDONO

Qui l'inverno non ha paura... io senza di te un po' ne ho
Qui la rabbia Þ senza misura... io senza di te.. non lo so
E la notte balla da sola... senza di te non baller=
Capitano abbatti le mura... che da solo non ce la far=

Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... perchÚ so come sono infatti chiedo...
Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo
Scusa... regalami un sorriso io ti porgo una
Rosa... su questa amicizia nuova pace si
Posa... PERDONO

My Beloved Monster - The Eels

(Thanx Freddie)

My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together
Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
Gets us through all kinds of weather

She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from livin' in a a world that's so damn mean

My beloved monster is tough
If she wants she will disrobe you
But if you lay her down for a kiss
Her little heart it could explode

She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from livin' in a world that's so damn mean

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Social Burn- Down

Tell me, how does it feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you say to me
You make me feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

And tell me, how should I feel
And all the games you play, on me
You still make feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(And all the things you do)
(Like nothing, like nothing, like nothing)

Tell me, how should this feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you do, to me
This makes me feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

(When you break me down)
(Break me down)

I'm nothing

[wahine]

Since we are feeling Floydy...

Waiting for the Worms

Oooo You cannot reach me now,
Oooo No matter how you try.
Goodbye cruel world, it's over.
Walk on by.

Sitting in a bunker,
Here behind my wall,
Waiting for the worms to come. ( Worms to come. )
In perfect isolation,
Here behind my wall,
Waiting for the worms to come. ( Worms to come. )

Waiting, to cut out the deadwood.
Waiting, to clean up the city.
Waiting, to follow the worms.
Waiting, to put on a black shirt.
Waiting, to weed out the weaklings.
Waiting, to smash in their windows and kick in their doors.
Waiting, for the final solution to strengthen the strain.
Waiting, to follow the worms.
Waiting, to turn on the showers and fire the ovens.
Waiting, for the queers and the coons and the Reds and the Jews.
Waiting, to follow the worms.

Would you like to see Britannia,
Rule again, my friend?
All you have to do is follow the worms.
Would you like to send our colored cousins,
Home again, my friend?
All you need to do is follow the worms.

To be evil, I never liked that song, never liked Another Brick in the Wall either though...

I alwasy liked the ones that only made sense when intoxicated.

This is V. off topic but do you know who eddie izzard be/is?

Yup. he is a stan-up comedian, famous for being a semi-transvestite/boring fart.

[wahine]

Lol- that's close to my impression about him, I saw him on like...HBO or something a few days ago, and found his humor bland. Hoped I wasn't the only one.

I like Denis Leary's and John Leguizamo's stand up bit better.

HOPE ST - (My favourite Levellers song)

There's a young boy in the queue
Not much else for him to do
He's had a drink, he's had a few
Down the pub on Hope Street

Dear old lady you're looking thin
Got a shopping bag with your life in
Your old man's going through the bins
So it goes on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt of this old town
Tell the sun to come around
And show his face on Hope Street

There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
Blew his money for the week
on a horse called Hope Street

No old faces out today
Someone took them all away
Cleaning up or so they say
The dirty face of Hope Street

Everyday I look at you
Dressed up in your ties of blue
Saying there's not much you can do
To help the kids on Hope Street

They don't seem to even care
That it was you that put them there
You seem to think they like it there
Hanging out on Hope Street

Pro'lly been posted, but deserves another mention:

Peace Train
Cat Stevens

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Olivers Army by Elvis Costello

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind was sleep walking
While I'm putting the world to rights
Call careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation
Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else than here today

There was a checkpoint charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile
All it takes is one itchy trigger
One more widow one less white nigger
Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else, but here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg

Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today
oh oh oh ooohhh
