She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
B
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College, that’s where
F#
I, caught her
F#
eye.
B
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
B
I said “In that case I’ll have a rum and coca-cola.” She said
F#
“Fine.” and then in
F#
thirty seconds time she said,

E
“I want to live like common people,
E
I want to do whatever common people
B
do, I want to sleep with common people,
B
I want to sleep with common people, like
F#
you.”Well what else could I do –
F#
I said “I’ll see what I can do.”

I took her to a supermarket,
I don’t know why but I had to start it some
where, so it started
there.

I said pretend you’ve got no money,
she just laughed and said, “Oh you’re so funny.” I said
“yeah? Well I can’t see anyone else smiling in
here.” Are you sure
you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people,
like me.” But she didn’t understand,
she just smiled and held my
hand. Rent a
flat above a shop, cut your
hair and get a job. Smoke some
fags and play some pool, pretend you
never went to school. still you’ll
never get it right, cos when you’re
laid in bed at night, watching
roaches climb the wall, if you
call your Dad he could stop it all.

You’ll never live like common people,
you’ll never do what common people do,
you’ll never fail like common people,
you’ll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there’s nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they’re laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people,
I want to live with common people etc…

swank-clojure as a plugin? I’ve stuck the whole of swank-clojure in .lein/plugins.
Need to remove the dependancy line from project.clj and see if it finds the plugin instead.
It didn’t, but moving the .jar file that lein deps had placed in lib/dev to ~/.lein/plugins seems to.

There was a time
When I was so brokenhearted
Love wasn’t much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned – yeah
‘Cause me and them ways have parted
That kinda love was the killin’ kind
(so listen)

All I want is someone I can’t resist
I know – all I – need to know
By the way I got kissed

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Tryin’ just to get you
Now I’m dyin’ ’cause I let you
Do what you do down on me

Now there’s not even breathing room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we’re makin’ love
Must be one and the same

It’s down on me
Yeah, I got to tell you one thing
It’s been on my mind, girl I gotta say
We’re partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you do to me takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street
Is the devil’s in your kiss

If our love goes up in flames
It’s a fire I can’t resist

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Tryin’ just to get you
Now I’m dyin’ ’cause I let you
Do what you do to me

‘Cause what you got inside
Ain’t where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain’t love
‘Til you give your heart away

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Tryin’ just to get you
Now I’m dyin’ to let you
Do what you do, what you do down on me
Baby, baby, baby

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m dyin’ ’cause I let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to

I was cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusions
That’s covering your mind?
I’ll show you something good
Oh I’ll show you something good.
When you open your mind
You’ll discover the sign
That there’s something
You’re longing to find…

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again.

Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears.
Tender is the one
Who wipes away your tears.
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously-
They say the greatest cowards
Can hurt the most ferociously.
But I’ll show you something good
Oh I’ll show you something good.
If you open your heart
You can make a new start
When your crumbling world falls apart.

(Chorus repeat…)

(Verse 1)
I remembered black skies / The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash / As time began to blur
Like a startling sign / That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard / That I get what I deserve

(Chorus)
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

(Verse 2)
There was nothing inside / The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide / The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in / Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard / That I get what I deserve

(Chorus 2)
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

(Bridge)
And every loss and every lie
And every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard
But I get what I deserve

(Chorus 3)
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

Across this new divide
Across this new divide

Monday morning wake up knowing that you’ve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she said it’s right out of the blue
You went to work in Debenhams, because that’s what they expect
Start in lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor

And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you want to be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of The Velvet Underground in clay

In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you’ve got no appetite
And the rumor is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher is looking up your skirt

Hey, you’re been used
Are you calm? settle down
Write a song, Ill sing along
Soon you will know that you are sane
You’re on top of the world again

Monday morning wake up knowing that you’ve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she said it’s right out of the blue
Do you went to work in C&A, cause that’s what they expect
Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man

Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
She’s got everything to gain cause she’s a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
cause you cant afford a blazer, girl you’re always wearing clogs

At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Head of English gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think you’re doing?
Do you think you’re better then the other kids? well get outside.
You’ve got permission, but you’ve got to make the bastard think he’s right

He, you’re been used
Write a song, Ill sing along
Are you calm? settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You’re on top of the world again

Are you cool, and you know
You’re a star and you’ll go far
Think of me as a friend
Not just a boy who’s playing guitar
You’re on top of the world again

Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine
meltin’ in a pot of thieves
wild card up my sleeve
thick heart of stone
my sins my own
they belong to me, me

people say “beware!”
but I don’t care
the words are just
rules and regulations to me, me

I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I’m movin’ in this here atmosphere, well, anything’s allowed
and I go to this here party and I just get bored
until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
humpin’ on the parking meter, leanin’ on the parking meter
oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling and then I’m gonna ah-ah make her mine
ooh I’ll put my spell on her

here she comes
walkin’ down the street
here she comes
comin’ through my door
here she comes
crawlin’ up my stair
here she comes
waltzin’ through the hall
in a pretty red dress
and oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling that I’m gonna ah-ah make her mine

and then I hear this knockin’ on my door
hear this knockin’ on my door
and I look up into the big tower clock
and say, “oh my God here’s midnight!”
and my baby is walkin’ through the door
leanin’ on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
and oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
and I’m gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine

and I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
she whispered to me, she told me her name
and her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

I was at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
Marie and Ruth but to tell you the truth
I didn’t hear them I didn’t see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
and I heard those bells chimin’ in my heart
going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
counting the time, then you came to my room
and you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
and oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
and I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine

G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

and the tower bells chime, “ding dong” they chime
they’re singing, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine.”

Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A,
Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A, G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria .

Ha-Ha! Well now we call this the act of mating
But there are several other very important differences
Between human beings and animals that you should know about

I’d appreciate your input

Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I’ll bet you’ll feel nuts
Yes I’m Siskel yes I’m Ebert and you’re getting two thumbs up
You’ve had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you’re out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns
Come quicker than FedEx never reach an apex like Coca-Cola stock you are
inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time

Do it now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin’ horny now

Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means “Small Craft
Advisory”
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide B-5 you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on I’m Mister Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I’ll show you mine “Tool Time” you’ll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we’ll do it doggy style so we can both watch “X-Files”

Do it now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin’ horny now

You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin’ horny now

Lookin Back

warm bodies, I sense
are not machines that can only make money
past, perfect, tense
words for a feeling and all I’ve discovered
I’ll be along son with medicine supposed to,
designed to make you high
I’ll be along son
with words for a feeling and all I’ve discovered
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes

on loneliness comes
go see the foreman, go see the profiteer
on loneliness drives
we’re takin’ our time movin’ shit for this holy slime

old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes, almighty fear

the shepherd won’t leave me alone
he’s in my face and I
the shepherd of my days
and I want you here by my heart and my head,
I can’t start till I’m dead

[Background Lyrics:]
here I am locking horns with the stallion
failing to hold my head up, I’ll go back again
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down
cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down

Two scientists were racing
For the good of all mankind
Both of them side by side
So determined
Locked in heated battle
For the cure that is their prize
But it’s so dangerous
But they’re determined

Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They’re just humans
With wives and children

Upwards to the vanguard
Where the pressure is too high
Under the microscope
Hope against hope

Forging for the future
But to sacrifice their lives
Both of them side by side
So determined

Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They’re just humans
With wives and children

Theirs is to win
It will kill them
They’re just humans
With wives and children

Wooooo!

I’ll be the one to show you the way
you’ll be the one to always complain
Three in the morning come a bang, bang, bang
All out of fags and I just can’t wait
Cancel the thing that I said I’d do,
I don’t feel comfortable talking to you
Unless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe,
then I’ll be in the lobby drinking for two

18, balding, star
Golden, fallen, heart

Look at the shaky’s what’s with the blush,
fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone’s gathered to idolize me,
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It’s been too long since I left the shed,
you kick the bucket I’ll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made,
too young to die, but old as a grave

18, balding, star
Golden, fallen, heart

I’m a gonna show the way
I’m a gonna show the way
I’m a gonna show the way
I’m a gonna show the way

18, balding, star

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

We dont want lives of steel
We dont want hearts that feel
We want to live above it all

I feel you closing in
A target on my skin
I think you’ll be there when I fall, When I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall

We might get out of time
We might connect our minds
We might land beyond the wall, when I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall

I might give love to you
I might step right on through
Fear might keep me from it all

I climb so high to see
But the ground just teases me
I think you’ll be there when I fall, when I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall
Im burning
When I fall
I fall
When I fall
Im amazed by it all

Control is letting go
And Im the last to know
We might land beyond the wall
I might give love to you
I might step right on through
I think you’ll be there when I fall When I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall
when I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall
When I fall, When I fall, When I fall

Well I wanted you (i wanted you)
I wanted no one else
I thought it through (thought it through)
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on to me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery

Was it wrong? Was it wrong?

[CHORUS]
I guess it wasn’t really right
I guess it wasn’t meant to be
It didn’t matter what they said
‘Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn’t matter what I tried
It’s just a little hard to leave
When you’re going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons

Well you know my friends (you know my friends)
Well they know you’re enemies
I’d pretend (I’d pretend)
Not to hear what they said to me
‘Cause I got off
Every time you got on to me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?

Was it wrong? Was it wrong?

[CHORUS]

I guess it wasn’t what I wanted,
It wasn’t really what I thought,
I thought it was the day I got,
I want it all to go away,
I guess it wasn’t what I wanted,
It wasn’t really what I thought,
I thought it was the day I got,
I want it all to go away,
I guess it wasn’t what I wanted,
It wasn’t really what I thought,
I thought it was the day I got,
I want it all to go away,
I guess it wasn’t what I wanted,
It wasn’t really what I thought,
I thought it was the day I got,
I want it all to go away

[CHORUS]
I guess it wasn’t really right (i guess it wasn’t really right)
I guess it wasn’t meant to be (it wasn’t really meant to be)

No,(it didn’t matter what i tried)
It didn’t matter what I tried (it wasn’t really meant to be)
It’s just a little hard to leave
When you’re going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons

Pungent smells
They consumate my home
Beyond the black horizon
Trying to take control
See my girl
She shivers in her bones
The sun and zenith rising
Trying to take us all

Theres a fire between us
So where is your god?
Theres a fire between us
I can’t get off the carousel

The sickening taste of homophobic jokes
Images of fascist folks
Beam me up ’cause I can’t breathe

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man.
Intergalactic christ

Its time to terminate this great white world
Morbid fascination
Television takes control
Decimation
Different races fall
Electronic information tampers with your soul

Theres a fire between us
So where is your god?
Theres a fire between us
I can’t get off the carousel – I can’t get of this world

The sickening taste of homophobic jokes
Images of fascist folks
Beam me up ’cause I can’t breathe

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man-Intergalactic christ

My girlfriend’s a dick magnet
My girlfriend’s gotta have it
She’s hot, can’t stop, up on stage doing shots
Tip the man he’ll ring the bell, get her drunk she’ll scream like hell
Dirty girl, gettin’ down, dance with guys from outta town
Grab her ass, actin’ tough,
Mess with her, she’ll f**k you up
No one really knows if she’s drunk or if she’s stoned, but she’s comin’ back to my place tonight!

She likes to shake her ass
She grinds it to the beat
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth
I like to strip her down
She’s naughty to the end
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She’s a BAD BAD GIRLFRIEND

Red thong, party’s on, love this song, sing along.
Come together, leave alone, see you later back at home
No one really knows if shes drunk or is she’s stoned
but she’s coming back to my place tonight
I say
No one really knows just how far she’s going to go
but I’m gonna find out later tonight

-CHORUS-

Doesn’t take her long to make things right
But does it make her wrong to have the time of her life
The time of her life
(My girlfriend’s a dick magnet)
(My girlfriend’s gotta have it)

She’s a gold digger
Now you figure out its over, pull the trigger
Futures finished, there it went, savings gone,
The money spent

look around and all I see
is no good, bad and ugly,
man shes hot and fixed to be,
the future ex-Miss Connolly!

Main entry text

How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do you’ll need a miracle

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I’m even here
This double vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin’ tread the ground I’m walking on

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You’ll understand what I mean when I say
There’s no way we’re gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe

What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You’ll understand what I mean when I say
There’s no way we’re gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe

Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it’s me that has all the control

Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You’ll understand what I mean when I say
There’s no way we’re gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe (repeat)

Sentimental days
In a misty clouded haze
Of a memory that now feels untrue
I used to feel disguised
Now I leave the mask behind
Painting pictures that aren’t so blue
The pages I’ve turned are the lessons I’ve learned

[Chorus:]
Somebody bring up the lights I want you to see
(Don’t You Feel Sorry For Me)
My life turned around
But I’m still living my dreams
(Yes it’s true I’ve been)
I’ve been through it all
Hit about a million walls
Welcome to my truth.. I still love
Welcome to my truth.. I still love

Tangled in a web
With a pain hard to forget
That was a time that I’ve now put to rest
Oh, the pages I’ve turned are the lessons I’ve learned

[Chorus]

Sentimental days
In a mist of clouded haze
Of a memory that now feels untrue

[Chorus]

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

[Chorus:]
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon’s sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We’ll take the trail marked on your father’s map

[Chorus (repeat)]

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
On my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
my sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way…

We got some thin we both know it,
We dont talk too much about it
Aint no real big secret, all the same,
Somehow we get around it

Listen, it dont really matter to me
Baby, you believe what you wanna believe
You see, you dont have to live like a refugee

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there,
Revel in your abandon

Honey, it dont make no difference to me
Baby, everybodys had to fight to be fre e
You see, you dont have to live like a refugee
No baby, you dont have to live like a refugee

Baby, we aint the first
Im sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this aint real to you
Its one of those things you got to feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped,
Tied-up, taken away, and held for ransom

Honey, it dont really matter to me
Baby, everybodys ha d to fight to be free
You see, you dont have to live like a refugee
No, you dont have to live like a refugee
Baby, you dont have to live like a refugee

I know it’s out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can’t help it
I’m a romantic fool
It’s a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach, I watch the sun go down

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I’m an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I’ll be back at Echo Beach some day

On a silent summer evening
The sky’s alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There’s not a soul around

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I’m an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I’ll be back at Echo Beach some day

Echo Beach
Far away in time
Echo Beach
Far away in time

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger,
And the hot sun chills me to the bone,
When I can’t hear the song for the singer,
And I can’t tell my pillow from a stone,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own.

When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain,
And the stars start to splatter in the sky,
When the moon hits the southwest horizon,
With the scream of an eagle on the fly,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And listen to the ripples as they moan,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own.

Black muddy river, roll on forever,
I don’t care how deep or wide, if you’ve got another side,
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll.

When it seems like the night will last forever,
And there’s nothing left to do but count the years,
When the strings of my heart begin to sever,
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears,
I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
And dream me a dream of my own,
I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own, sing me a song of my own.

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that’s on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you’re looking up at me
You’re like my favourite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can’t say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you’re not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self-respect
While you passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before, you never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that’s on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you’re looking up at me
You’re like my favourite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can’t say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn’t that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before, you never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)

Hold on to love, that is what I do, Now that I’ve found you.
And from above, everything’s stinking, They’re not around you.
And in the night, I could be helpless.
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything’s complex. There’s nothing simple,
when I’m not around you
But, I miss you when your gone, That is what I do, ba-baby.
And its going to carry on, That is what I knew, hey baby.
Hold on to my hands, I feel like sinking, Sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything’s stinking, Stinking without you.
And in the night I could be helpless. I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything’s complex. There’s nothing simple,
When I’m not around you.
And I miss you when your gone, That is what I do, ba-baby.
And its going to carry on, That is what I knew, hey baby

My life is plagued
By mistakes, broken love, slaps in the face
But I’m trying to care, to dare to embrace your face
Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother for now
I want to find where the maid in the street
Is pouring her wine
I heard she takes you in and gives you the words
You need said
If you’ll be her brother
She’ll kiss you like a sister
She’ll even be your mother for now
Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother
Let it be my father
I will be her brother
Kiss her like a sister
Come and be my mother forever

All my life I’ve been searching for somethin’
Somethin’ never comes, never leads to nuthin’
Nothin’ satisfies, but I’m gettin’ close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, and it’s takin’away
Leaves me with the feelin’ that I fear the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Calm down, don’t you resist
Your such a delicate rist
And if i give it a twist
Somethin’ to hold when I lose my grip

Will i find something in there,
to give it just what it needs
another reason to bleed
One by one, Hidden up my sleeve

One by one, Hidden up my sleeve

[3x]
Hey, don’t let it go to waste
I love it but, i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find the believer
Another one who believes
Another one to decieve
Over and over, down on my knees

If I get any closer, I
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on, I’ve got nuthin’ to hide

On and on I’ve got nuthin’ to hide

[3x]
Hey, don’t let it go to waste
I love it but, i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

All my life I’ve been searching for somethin’
Somethin’ never comes, never leads to nuthin’
Nothin’ satisfies, but I’m gettin’ close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, and it’s takin’away
Leaves me with the feelin’ that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Done, done; on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one

Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
[2x]
Done, done, and I’m on the next one
Done, i’m done, and I’m on to the next

[3x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I’m done; i’m on to the next one

[3x]
Hey, don’t let it go to waste
I love it but , i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

[2x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I’m done; i’m on to the next

This is the greatest and best song in the world… Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin’ down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon… in the middle… of the road.
And he said:
[Sung]
“Play the best song in the world, or I’ll eat your soul.” (soul)
[Spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said… “Okay.”
[Sung]
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Look into my eyes and it’s easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow…

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his Whoopy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: “(snort) Be you angels?”
And we said, “Nay. We are but men.”
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn’t remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin’ song the greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]
[Spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn’t actually sound
anything like this song.
[Sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin’,
So surprised to find you can’t stop it.
[Skat]
All right! All right!

Something about you really puts me down
You’re the life of the party you’re the toast of the town
Something about you really picks me up
Like a hot cup of coffee in a hot coffee cup
Feels like a Saturday, free and easy going
Reminded its a Sunday, to stop the flow from flowing
You can see clearly now the rain has gone
But it looks like someone’s gone and dropped the bomb
Alice what’s the matter, Alice what’s the matter
Alice what’s the matter, Alice what’s the matter
Something about her she reminds me of you
Something about him he could be me too
Something about them something about the other
Something I’ve got to tell you about my dad and your mother
Feels like a Saturday, free and easy going
Reminded its a Sunday, to stop the flow from flowing
You can see clearly now the rain has gone
But it looks like someone’s gone and dropped the bomb
Alice what’s the matter, Alice what’s the matter
Alice what’s the matter, Alice what’s the matter
Alice what’s the matter, Alice what’s the matter
Alice what’s the matter, Alice what’s the matter
Something about black, something about white
Something about wrong, something about right
Something about us, something about them
Something about Bill, definitely something about Ben
Something about you, something about me
Something about a, b, c, d and e
Something about hell, something about heaven
Something about 4, 5, 6 and 7
Alice what’s the matter
Alice what’s the matter
Alice what’s the matter
Alice what’s the matter…

If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I’d be rich beyond my dreams, I’m sorry for my weary life
I know I’m not perfect but I can smile
and I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes
If you tell me that I can’t, I will, I will, I’ll try all night
and if I say I’m coming home, I’ll probably be out all night
I know I can be afraid but I’m alive
and I hope that you can trust this heart behing my tired eyes

I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I won’t try
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I can’t live my life
I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I can’t cry
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I won’t fly

I know I’m not around each night
and I know I always think I’m right
I can believe that you might look around

I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I won’t try
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I can’t live my life
I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I can’t cry
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I won’t fly

Songs to steal

I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies

Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than this

If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let’s play
Cause I’d rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies

Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than this now

Rock and roll, baby
Don’t you know that we’re all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
Give me something to sing about

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than
No, oh

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than
More than this
Ohoh ohoh ohoh
Oooh…

You live each day
And never know the reason why you live each day
Until you find another way of seeing things
A way that’s real
It’s you against eternity
Alive, you’re alive!

It’s such a crime
That everybody seems to think it’s such a crime
To dream your dream and make it a reality
If that’s a crime
Then tell me what’s the point
To be alive?
You’re alive for the first time

Chorus

So eat the peach
Before the moment passes
And it’s out of reach
With you still at the starting gate
Yeah run! Don’t hide!
No matter if you lose this time
‘Cos time is on your side
And time is all you need to be alive

If you’re the kind
That spends a lifetime wondering if you’re the kind
To break the mould – go see what’s on the other side
Before you’re old, and maybe you’ll discover
You’re alive,
you’re alive for the first time

Repeat Chorus

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe Im too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight youre on my mind so you never know

When Im broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage hes done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So Ill wait for you… and Ill burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

Its never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
Its never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
Its never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
Its never over, shes the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe Im just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh… lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And Im much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage Ive done
Sweet lover, you shouldve come over
Oh, love well Im waiting for you

Lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late

You’re the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They’re turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go

I’m watching you watch
Over me and I’ve got
The greatest view from here
I’m watching you watch
Over me and I’ve got
The greatest view from here

Mistakes don’t mean a thing
If you don’t regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see

I’m watching you watch
Over me and I’ve got
The greatest view from here
I’m watching you watch
Over me and I’ve got
The greatest view from here

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They’re turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you’re letting go

I’m watching you watch
Over me and I’ve got
The greatest view from here
I’m watching you watch
Over me and I’ve got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view

There was a time
When I was so brokenhearted
Love wasn’t much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned – yeah
‘Cause me and them ways have parted
That kinda love was the killin’ kind
(so listen)

All I want is someone I can’t resist
I know – all I – need to know
By the way I got kissed

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Tryin’ just to get you
Now I’m dyin’ ’cause I let you
Do what you do down on me

Now there’s not even breathing room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we’re makin’ love
Must be one and the same

It’s down on me
Yeah, I got to tell you one thing
It’s been on my mind, girl I gotta say
We’re partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you do to me takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street
Is the devil’s in your kiss

If our love goes up in flames
It’s a fire I can’t resist

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Tryin’ just to get you
Now I’m dyin’ ’cause I let you
Do what you do to me

‘Cause what you got inside
Ain’t where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain’t love
‘Til you give your heart away

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Tryin’ just to get you
Now I’m dyin’ to let you
Do what you do, what you do down on me
Baby, baby, baby

I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was Cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m dyin’ ’cause I let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to

I was cryin’ when I met you
Now I’m tryin’ to forget you
Your love is sweet misery

Every time
I close my eyes
It’s you
and I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea
and I know now

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

You do so much
That you don’t know
It’s true
And I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea
And I know now

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

See you as a mountain, A fountain of God
See you as as a descant soul in the setting sun
You as the sound just as silent as none
I’m young

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

3 I’ve got time, to think about
4 The things you think about when
4 You’ve got time to spare
2 Wonder why we’re here

3 I wonder when or where it might go wrong
3 I wonder why, I went along with you
4 Why I forgot to think
2 Got to think it through now

and I wonder why I
I wonder why

You go on, you go on, you go on pushing yourself
You keep on, you keep, you keep on fooling yourself
You don’t know why, you don’t know
You don’t know how you just don’t know
You keep on, you keep on fooling yourself

3 There’s a time and place for everything
3 A time to act, a time to dream
4 but there is time to wait
2 But no time to waste

and I wonder why I
I wonder why

I believe
This mess you made
I believe
The debt was left unpaid
Trade my cradle for a grave
And left me with nothing

I believe in you I do I do
I do believe in you
Even if you’re not around
You’re still in my life
I believe in you I do I do
I do believe in you
Even if you’re not around
You’re still in my life

I believe
You’re worth your weight
I believe
You’re not the same
As when you breathed fire in our den
This is now and that was then

I believe in you I do I do
I do believe in you
Even if you’re not around
You’re still in my life
I believe in you I do I do
I do believe in you
Even if you’re not around
You’re still in my life tonight

Though I cannot forget what you did to me
No one prospers in this guilt economy
Love is the greatest revenge that we all need
Love is the greatest revenge that we all need

I believe in you I do I do
I do believe in you
Even if you’re not around
You’re still in my life
I believe in you I do I do
I do believe in you
Even if you’re not around
You’re still in my life

Love is revenge
Love is revenge

Even if you’re not around
You’re still in my life tonight

Ridiculous problems with header text not appearing in the header bar + different behaviour with firefox and safari. Seems to be fixable by setting line-height to 1 and margins to 0…..
Note that this is only a problem when specifying large font sizes. For some reason this blog is ignoring the font size anyway. Sigh.

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart

backstroke lover always hidin’ ‘neath the covers
till I talked to your daddy, he say
he said “you ain’t seen nothin’ till you’re down on a muffin
then you’re sure to be a-changin’ your ways”
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
oh, the times I could reminisce
’cause the best things of lovin’ with her sister and her cousin
only started with a little kiss
like this!

seesaw swingin’ with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin’ up in the air
singin’ “hey diddle diddle”
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn’t care
so I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
wasn’t me she was foolin’
’cause she knew what she was doin’
and I knowed love was here to stay
when she told me to

walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
just gimme a kiss
like this!

schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt’s climbin’ way up the knee
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin’ at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin’ I missed
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss
like this!

seesaw swingin’ with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin’ up in the air
singin’ “hey diddle diddle”
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn’t care
so I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
wasn’t me she was foolin’
’cause she knew what she was doin’
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

walk this way, talk this way
walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, talk this way
just gimme a kiss
like this!

There’s a nail in the door
And there’s glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns when you’re gone

There’s a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I’m all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can’t stand

What should I do I’m just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home

So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it’s not here soon
I might be done
No it won?t be too soon ’til I say goodnight moon

There’s a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbor and he’s been watching me
And there’s footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something’s under the bed
Now it’s out in the hedge
There’s a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

What should I do I’m just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it’s not here soon
I might be done
No it won’t be too soon ’til I say goodnight moon

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama’s dancin’ with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin’ like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for

Chorus:
Black velvet and that little boy’s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music’s like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl
“Love me tender” leaves ’em cryin’ in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for

chorus

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
you do?

(Solo)

chorus repeats 2x

If you please, if you please, if you please

I shot the sheriff

“My Last Breath”

“Going Under”

Use Max! http://sbooth.org/Max/

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
they’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see

I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don’t fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
Baby I’m your man
La-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone
Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don’t fear the reaper)

Baby take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
Baby I’m your man
La-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear that she couldn’t go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared (saying don’t be afraid)
Come on baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backwards and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on baby (don’t fear the reaper)

Looking counter clockwise
Knowing what could happen
Any moment maybe you maybe even you
Steadfast collapse
Always certain any moment
Maybe you maybe you, maybe even you
Recline complete dream too sweet
I can’t do it not with you
Not even with you, maybe never with you

And I’d sell my soul for total control
Yeah I’d sell my soul for total control

Street wet tonight
Lovers touch, it’s pure delight
Always certain any moment, maybe even you
Stay in bed stained sheets
My head hurts I repeat
Maybe you maybe you maybe even you

And I’d sell my soul for total control
Yeah I’d sell my soul for total control
Ooh I’d sell my soul for total control over you

Street wet tonight
Lovers touch, it’s pure delight
Always certain any moment, maybe even you
Stay in bed stained sheets
My head hurts I repeat
Maybe you maybe you maybe even you

And I’d sell my soul for total control
Yeah I’d sell my soul for total control
Ooh I’d sell my soul for total control over you
Over you
Total control over you

And the moment will come when composure returns
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
Down the liberty hill, where the fashion brigade
Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way
And for once in your life you have nothing to say
And could this be the time when somebody will come
To say, look at yourself, youre not much use to anyone

Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill
Read the letter you got from the memory girl
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that
And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag
Of the united states of calamity, hey!
After all that youve done boy, Im sure youre going to pay

In the morning you come to the ladies salon
To get all fitted out for the paperback throne
But the people are living far away from the place
Where you wanted to help, its a bit of a waste
And the puzzle will last till somebody will say
Theres a lot to be done while your head is still young
If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind
Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine

Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
Then you go to the place where youve finally found
You can look at yourself sleep the clock aroundz

Who was I when I could sing this?

Things I have changed so far. Works at this point, but headers on delivered messages need cleaning up.

[code] sudo launchctl start org.postfix.master [/code] Think this just tells it to start on bootup. Did this to get it going : [code]sudo postfix start[/code]

Added (or uncommented) these in /etc/postfix/main.cf
[code]
mynetworks_style = host
relayhost = [mail.metronet.co.uk]
myhostname = 83-216-128-78.iainwo276.adsl.metronet.co.uk
[/code]

Tweaked some permissions on files in /etc/postfix as per http://www.hmug.org/HowTos/postfix.html although I’m not convinced this did anything useful

http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html was useful

Classes that monitor the lifecycle of ActiveRecord objects and run callback methods:

I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me

I don’t want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can’t leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that’s been

[Chorus]

run gem_server then point your web browser at localhost:8808

Currently using several different extensions in my rails projects. These seem to work in 3 different ways:

Haven’t tried this yet….

From Ruby on rails e-commerce pg 199: Change current directory to the vendor/plugin directory of your project and run gem unpack acts_as_taggable. Then create a file containing the line require ‘taggable’ called init.rb in the acts_as_taggable folder.
I don’t know if this is a general method, but it may be worth trying as it would be less effort than sorting out separate gem repositories as in an earlier post. Someone else can test it though, I have already got that method working…

but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.

There are 3 types, unit, functional and integration….

Very hard to find documentation on this. RoR E-Commerce pg 51 says:
Assigns is a test helper method that can be used to access all the instance variables set in the last requested action. Makes a lot more sense if I think of it as assigns being the multiple of assign rather than the verb :-)
[ruby]
assert_template ‘admin/author/show’
assert_equal ‘Iain’, assigns(:author).first_name
[/ruby]
Second line means “Is the author assign’s first_name field equal to Iain?”

Set HTTP_PROXY
[code]
HTTP_PROXY=wwwcache.ncl.ac.uk:8080
export HTTP_PROXY
[/code]

This gives the procedure

add the include parameter….

The file_column plugin is an easy way to add file uploading.

Tabbed by:  Mike Bartling (mike@scouse.demon.co.uk)

I asked the boy in the picture what could he see?
He said it’s been twenty long years
but you still look like me

If you find somebody that you need
go ahead and tell her show her what you mean
And soon you’ll find that love is blind and free
If you see Sally or Smokey say hello from me
Tell them I hope they’re happy
Working the beach, just out of reach, but free

I asked the boy in the picture
how’s your brother been?
He said he’s doing just fine now but
he’s still a little too thin

And then the boy in the picture he asked me
Got any tips where do I go wrong and,
Who am I going to be?

Now you know the best of me
you don’t see the rest of me
you can go free.

We have had our dreams this time
we could see our whole life climb
before our eyes.

Goodbye to you Madonna Blue
I give my everything to you
goodbye to you Madonna Blue
and I love you, you know I do
Madonna Blue.

Now I must give you away
seems we have to lose today
to find the way.

Goodbye to you Madonna Blue
I give my everything to you
goodbye to you Madonna Blue
and I love you, you know I do
Madonna Blue.

Now I must give you away
seems we have to lose today
to find the way.

Goodbye to you Madonna Blue
I give my everything to you
goodbye to you Madonna Blue
and I love you, you know I do
Madonna Blue.

Oh Madonna Blue

Home again
quietly as I lay upon my bed
like a dream
I can hear the words that you once said
and there you are
in my arms again.

Far away
strange that you’re still living somewhere else
even so
I can’t put the book back on the shelf
for long for long
you’re in my arms again.

What I’d give what I’d give
to have you here by me
wish I had wish I had
wings across the sea.

When you’re sad
with the shadows long against your wall
here I am
remember that you only have to call
my name
my name
you’re in my arms again.

Close your eyes close your eyes
you can be with me
you can have you can have
wings across the sea.

E         B5                    D
In the days before you were around

A5                                              E
the smallest thing would get me down
I drifted aimlessly without a way
and was so lucky to be found
F#m                                            B5
was good to lose myself to gain a friend
impossible to go that way again.

E             F#m
It’ll never be the same
E
never ever be the same

C#m                 F#m
what a different world it was then

B5         E
without you.

With you I’m everything I want to be
you brought the sun into my day
it makes no difference if you’re here with me
you could be many miles away.
A feeling that you just can’t take away
a song of summer that will always stay.

It’ll never be the same
never ever be the same
what a different world it was then
without you.

I sit by the harbour
The sea calls to me
I hide in the water
But l need to breathe

You are an ocean wave my love
Crashing at the bow
I am a galley slave my love
If only I would find out the way
To sail you…
Maybe I’ll just stow away…

I’ve been run aground
So sad for a sailor
I felt safe and sound
But needed the danger

You are an ocean wave my love…

Let me steal away
Here I’m growing pale
Like the leaves decay
As summer fades away

Let me see the rain
Kiss the window pane
‘Neath the tree we wait
Rain won’t go away
Shelter from the rain
Lightning strikes again
Shelter from the rain
I’ll shelter you
If you’ll shelter me again
Let me save a flower
I won’t let you fade away
So no jealous shower
Will wash your blaze away
Let me free to steal
Roses while I may
Let me free or else
I might run away. . .

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden

Yesterday I odered 3 Bass guitars from Đuc Ngân. First step :-) Also found a really good maker. When I first went in his shop he was quiet, didn’t respond much and I couldn’t tell if he was happyy to have me there demanding to play all his best instruments, carefully testing and tuning them and inspecting them minutely. I eventualy chose a beautiful simple slimline 6 string. It was a little more expensive than a similar but much more striking one that somehow didn’t have the same magic. Once I had decided to buy it his maner changed completely. I hadn’t realised he even spoke english till that point. He starrted telling me about ways to test the quality of guitars and how he strove to get a nice low action and how he scaloped the bracing to get the best tone. He obviously loves making good instruments and was maybe testing me. Guess I passed by picking one of his best instuments…

He’s called Ánh and the shop is called Đuy Ngoc.

E(9)                    C#(9)*
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
A                                  G#
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
E(9)                   C#(9)
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
A
But you'll never see the end of the road
G#
While you're traveling with me

CHORUS
A        B
Hey now, hey now
E(9)             C#(9)
Don't dream it's over
A        B
Hey now, hey now
E(9)        C#(9)
When the world comes in
A          B
They come, they come
E(9)              C#(9)
To build a wall between us
A                         B
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Now I'm walking again, to the beat of a drum 
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart 
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof 
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief  
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over 
Hey now, hey now When the world comes in 
They come, they come 
To build a wall between us 
Don't ever let them win

Bought plans from Nic Nourse for Marchand 1775 model. Started some time in September 06. No real problems so far building the body. Paid £60 to get the shaft, bearings, wheel bush and handle made (Handle shank is just a rectangular piece of brass. I will fret out the nice scroll shape myself). Got the job done by an engineering works on the industrial estate at the South end of the Newburn Bridge. There may be problems when it comes to fitting the shaft as the diameter of the shaft is not much smaller than the outer threaded bearing. The hole in the end of the body will need to be exactly the right size to allow clearance for the shaft but still take a thread.

Never stop being a kid. Never stop feeling and seeing and being excited with great things like air and engines and sounds of sunlight within you. Wear your little mask if you must to protect you from the world but if you let that kid disappear you are grown up and you are dead.

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade
Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made

We are what we do. No, we do what we are.

Give back power. Reaches hand out to rescued child and says “could you?”
