The Forever Friend
by Artur Hawkwing

On my own, but mostly the savannah,
Where the tumbleweeds fade away and die,

Before the glassy sun burns a summer of crystals,
The glistering waters of the high seas
Of which was so far a place as of where vultures roam.
I looked around but you weren't anywhere...

You used to say that you would never die,
But I took the wrong meaning into my heart.
Now the sea is wild with despair,

Deep blue like a prairie of flowers blue,
Where all children of God rest in eternal peace.
I saw you at the end,
You and I, brother and brother of nature,
Brother and brother of heaven and earth,

Your usually calm and heavenly eyes full of tears,
Bitterly falling one after one into a river,
Then the river of life turned red in blood.

My eyes watched in horror.

Slowly and deadly your heart became poisoned,
You disappeared without saying good-bye,
Not a word came out of your mouth.

You became like desolation in its grave.
When once the skies were a realm of stars
And the sun shone brightly in summer skies,

You were there to share the calmness;
But now I stand here in midst of the tall grass
And only the savannah remains.

Another Men At Work - It's A Mistake  Video on youtube

Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is can we all come

Dont think that we dont know
Dont think that were not trying
Dont think we move too slow
Its no use after crying
Saying

Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake

After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
Theyve got the bad guys on the run

Dont try to say youre sorry
Dont say he drew his gun
Theyve gone and grabbed old ronnie
Hes not the only one saying

Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake

Tell us commander, what do you think?
cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish youd all throw in the towel

Well not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
Well send a card and flower
Saying

Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake

Nostalgic shit, huh?

What's Next To The Moon - AC/DC

Well I tied my baby to the railroad track
Cannonball down the line
Giving that woman just a one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishing he was home in bed
Dreaming about Casey Jones
Wide-eyed woman half-mile ahead
Thinking about broken bones

It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love

Heavenly body flying across the sky
Superman was out of town
Come on honey, gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent looking for a free ride
Thinking about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's - a suicide
And that'd be a shame

It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love

But what's next to the moon?

Long Arm looking for a fingerprint
Trying to find the mystery clue
Hitting me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
Alright, officer, I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack

It's her love that I want
It's her love that I need
It's her love got to have
It's her love

What's next to the moon?

[dear hearts]

all night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
how come, how come

i twisted you over and under to take you
the coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest
i twisted you under and under to break you
i just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest

all night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
how come, how come
so far under the bed - into the beams you've gone
i've gone, you've gone

i'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me
i can't bring a sound from my head though I try
i can't seem to find my way up from the basement
a demon holds my place on earth 'till I die

all night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
how come, how come

so far under the bed - into the beams you've gone
i've gone, you've gone

all night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart

[macfoozle]

We are aimless
And the target is an empty wall
We're out of patience
With smiles that cut across her face
No complaints
But I wish I had my top of my brain
I'd like to walk
But the sun doesn't know we're awake

We're in spaceships
Take a visit to the Pyranees
Paid vacations
Send a brochure from the agency
No complaints
But my girlfriend dug a ditch in my room
Walking papers and a hole
Straight out from my shoes

No complaints
But it's harder
To believe in the truth
She'll write a message
On a billboard
And I'll send it to you

We feel painless
Check the status on the info line
In some ways tainted
Radiation from the factory
No complaints
But it's overrated, that's for sure
Take a bus back
From Little Rock, Arkansas
Or Modesto
That's where my drawl comes from

[truth freak]

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Til' eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

Chorus:
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day - The Pogues

Oh my name is jock stewart
Im a canny gun man
And a roving young fellow Ive been
So be easy and free
When youre drinking with me
Im a man you dont meet every day

I have acres of land
I have men at command
I have always a shilling to spare
So be easy and free
When youre drinking with me
Im a man you dont meet every day

So come fill up your glasses
Of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs I will pay
So be easy and free
When youre drinking with me
Im a man you dont meet every day

Well I took out my dog
And him I did shoot
All down in the county kildare
So be easy and free
When youre drinking with me
Im a man you dont meet every day

[cidney]

I would love to be better
I would love to be free
I would love to be perfect
When you look at me
But instead I'm still crying
Yes instead I'm still lyin'
Sad to say I'm still tryin'
Not to be me
When I see all the weakness
That I turned into sickness
I still think I can slide
Just fine on the ice
It's not easy to be honest
Sometimes I'm just astonished
Heartache can lead to the truth

Why do I lie?
Is it just to get by?
If I give up my lines would I die?
If fortunes are favored
Then I am enlabored
And I'm tryin' so hard to leave lyin' behind.


I don't want to be hazy
I don't think that I'm crazy
But I've had some moments where I am not sure
And if you can forgive me
For just being human
Then I will try harder
To keep my words pure
I could be on the border
It could be a disorder
But honestly I think that I can't come clean
All of my stories
Might even be boring
If I could tell you
What they all mean

Why do I lie?
Is it just to get by?
If I give up my lives would I die?
If fortunes are favored
Then I am in labor
And I'm tryin' so hard to be

[GOHOINC]

Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.

10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes,
in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...


Holy fucking shit!

Then the X-Files being,
Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of
vanilla Chig Champa
Did a slow-mo Matrix descent
Outta the butt end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw,
and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was:
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fuckin' pants."

So light in his way,
Like an apparition, [that]
He had me crying out,
"Fuck me
It's gotta be
the Deadhead Chemistry
The blotter got right on top of me
Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!"

And after calming me down
with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning,
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said, "You are the Chosen One,
the One who will deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One?
They chose me!!!
And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.

You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

It was so real,
Like I woke up in Wonderland.
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story.
And can anyone tell me why
Y'all sound like Peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I've just said!
See the Dead ain't touring
And this wasn't all in my head.
See, they took me by the hand
And invited me right in.
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold [and] eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed.

Hey ...

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.

But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again ...
Typical.

Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed *
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be the hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me!
Can't remember what they said

We don't know, and we won't know (x12)

God damn, shit the bed!

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearsby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
he runs wishing he could fly
only to trip at the sound of
good-bye

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window
and wonders
at the empty place inside

Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
did he hear a good-bye
or even Hello

They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3
together
They are for each other

Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
confusion has its cost

Love isn't lying its
loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost

And choking on hello

They are 1 person
They
are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each
other

[Der Atomsmasher]

...How I lost my friends I still don't understand.

They had the best selection,
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed,
Nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
Or became park bench mutations
On the sidewalks and in the stations
They were waiting, waiting.

So I got bored and left them there,
They were just deadweight to me
Better down the road without that load...

Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Thru libraries and museums, galaxies and stars
Down the windy halls of friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
The motel of lost companions
Waits with heated pool and bar.

But me I'm not stopping there,
Got my own row left to hoe
Just another line in the field of time
When the thrashers comes, I'll be stuck in the sun
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
But I'll know the time has come
To give what's mine...

[dear hearts]

Love and communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
You called me
And you were not hunting me

Learning more and more about less and less and less
On the edge of your seat in some dark movie
Can you memorize the scenes
They'll be different next week
Can you tell me can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always is

Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts
Don't hate the night with what you shouldn't have
Come along for the ride you just know you should
You just know you should
Can you tell can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always is

Hated to see you sad when I left
There's no good in that but the good part was
That I came out at all 'cause I don't venture out
Into the lives of the new
I want you to come along for the ride
How long will you stay for your whole life
You just know you should
Can you tell me can you tell me can you tell
if there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always is

Love and communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
You called me
And you were not hunting me

Wishing Well - Bob Mould

Wishing well runs wet and dry
I wish for things I never had
Surrounds and wells up in my eyes
The screaming voice, it lies
Wishing well gets someone's attention
Every wish you ever had
In a day of nights, in the darkest of light
Sits and cries, watch the lies
Could you give me a wish if I tell you what I want?
Will the price be no object?
I wish for dreams of light
I live for wishing well surprise
Deepest light, the secret lies
Wishing well gives you all that you desire
Homes and trains, and the greenest of plains
That you ever happened upon
The silent wish, it calls you out
Calls you out by name
Lays upon the plain, on the mountain high
City lights, wish delights
What if the waters and wishes appear?
Will the price be no object?
I wish for dreams of light
I live for wishing well surprise
Twist and shape on the winding twine
Around the spindle winds
Wish again, four times again
Four wishes deep into the well
There's a price to pay for a wish to come true
Trade a small piece of your life
Roots in the soil, uprooting the soil
Mountain high, the mountain high
The wish is only to speak a kind
Kind of word, so benign absurd
The well, three wishes run dry
Wishing well is dry
When no grass grows, the weeds run in line
Wish three wishes, three wishes run dry

[Kickstand27]

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

Tomorrow We Jump - Deadboy & The Elephantmen

Tomorrow we jump as all the fire
Goes to embers and ash
I feel a sadness only that
The finger of death is pointing at.

Do you remember your soul?
Do you remember your soul?

As lonely as
A flower in hell
Lost as a penny
In the wishin’ well.

Is there space enough
In your head
For heaven, baby cause there is…

We’re always mired like the man on the moon
Who carries his heart in a brown paper bag

Do you remember your soul?
Do you remember your soul?

[cidney]

I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening; by the morning they'll be gone.

When everything gets lonely I can be my own best friend
I get a coffee and the paper; have my own conversations
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit.

I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss
So many men much stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not gamble you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist.

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back
Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a drag.

I've got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train
If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain
But what was normally in the evening, by the morning seems insane.

And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons have run away but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is
What's so simple in the moonlight, by the morning is so complicated.
What's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight

But you can still come around,
In fact I invite you down,
Maybe together we can wipe that smile off your face.
'Cause what a difference, what a difference, what a difference
A little difference would make.
We'll draw a blueprint, it must be easy,
It's just a matter of knowing when to say no or yes.
Frustrating, frustrating, always waiting for the bigger axe to fall.
A patient game that i can't find my way to play.
Never mind what's been selling,
It's what you're buying
