Jane Says by Jane's Addiction

On a Jane's Addiction kick and I like it:) I prefer the older louder version to the newer acoustic one of this song. It's hard not to sing this song loud with a tad of anger... And Flea is in on it. Such a great version with some seriously hot guys playing guitars!!! "She knows they all want her to go but that's ok man she don't like them anyway!!!"

Jane says I"'m done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll"
She hides the television
Says I don't owe him nothing!
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
She knows they all want her to go
But that's O.K. man
She don't like them anyway!!!
Jane says "I'm goin away to spain
When I get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow"

She gets mad
Starts to cry 
She takes a swing but
She can't hit
She don't mean no harm!
She just don't know, don't know, don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes to the store at 8:00
She walk up on St. Andrews
She waits and she gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner from her pocket
Jane says "I've never been in love
I don't know what it is 
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
They (I) only know they want me"

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing baby
She cant hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know, don't know, don't know
What else to do about it

Jane says
Jane says...



OR

Sympathy for the Devil by Jane's Addiction

Jane's Addiction version just gets me going more!!!! LOVE this!!!!!!!

Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones

Mick Jagger's dancing in this clip is the best! I am not sure if I like this version or Jane's Addiction better. Jane's Addiction has a special place in my heart for my sister. "When you meet me have some courtesy, and some sympathy and some taste...Or I will lay your soul to waste!"

Please allow me to introduce myself 
I'm a man of wealth and taste 
I've been around for a long, long year 
Stole many a man's soul and faith 

I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands a’ sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you 
Hope you guess my name 
But what's puzzling you 
Is the nature of my game 

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ah yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedy's?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ahhh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game mmm yeah

Just as every cop is a criminal 
And all the sinners saints 
As heads is tails 
Just call me Lucifer 
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint 

So if you meet me 
Have some courtesy 
Have some sympathy, have some taste!
Use all your well-learned politesse 
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah 

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, mmm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mmm mean it, get down

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, a can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, who...

"Go on downtown baby and find somebody to love! Meanwhile I ain't wasting time no more..."

"Let there be songs to fill the air..."

I'm No Angel by Gregg Allman

One thing facebook is good for is finding new good music clips:) "Let me rock your cradle, Let me start a fire with your spark..."

No I'm no angel
No I'm no stranger to the street
I've got my label
So I won't crumble at your feet
And I know baby
So I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy
Come on and love me baby

So you find me hard to handle
Well, I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle
And I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds
I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel.

No I'm no angel
No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me baby

So you don't give a darn about me
I never treat you bad
I won't ever lift a hand to hurt you
and I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds
I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel.

No I'm no angel
No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire in your heart
Oh come on baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me baby

Well come on baby.
Drive me crazy.
Oh come on baby....

Soulshine by the Allman Brothers Band

It's a soul shine kind of day! Painted a picture for my nephew Trent with these lyrics on it. I hope he keeps it forever. A song of hope. "Let your soul shine, It's better then sunshine, It's better then moonshine, Damn sure better then rain...."

When you can't find the light,
That got you through a cloudy day,
When the stars ain't shinin' bright,
You feel like you've lost you're way,
When those candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Now you got to let your soul shine,
Just like my daddy used to say.

He used to say soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometime,
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day!!!

I grew up thinkin' that I had it made,
Gonna make it on my own.
Life can take the strongest man,
Make him feel so alone.
Now sometimes I feel a cold wind,
Blowin' through my achin' bones,
I think back to what my daddy said,
He said "Boy, in this darkness before the dawn:"

Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.

Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Lord now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

Oh, it's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

So Damn Lucky-Farm Aid 2013 by Dave Matthews Band

One of my favorite Dave Matthews songs. I used to be such a fan...Not so much anymore but I love his old shit:) "Oh my God, wait and see, What will soon become of me...It's amazing what a minute can do!"

Everything's different
My head in the clouds;)
I hit this corner
With my foot on the gas
I started sliding, I lose it
Everything's different just like that

Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me!!!!!!
Frozen heart
Screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?

I'm so damn lucky, that you went on ahead
You said, you said
"I'll see you later..."
I heard what you said a few minutes later
I'm sliding
And everything's different again

Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
This frozen heart
Screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
I'm dizzy from all this spinning

Now I'm thinking that you did all you could
When you said "My love
Take it slowly..."
"Ok," is what I said

Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me?
This frozen heart
Screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?

Take me back, just before I was spinning
Take me back, amazing what a minute can do
Take me back, just before I got dizzyJust like you

Around, around, around
Amazing what a minute can do!!!!!
Around, Around, Around
Ok is what I say.

"I'm looking to the sky, And I'll be listening to the stars, And maybe thinking of you, And wondering where you are..."

Good day for a birthday!

Happy Birthday to my best friend Lauren! I truly love you more then words can tell!!! I am so grateful to have such an amazing friend that I get to go through life with!!! There is no one in the world I would rather share a tattoo with! Cheers to many many more years of happiness to come!!!

Memory-Sitting in your room singing this song over and over again. Getting so into it that we were harmonizing and everything!!! Chuck man hated us when we were teenagers;)

"Stuck in her daydream, been this way since eighteen..."

Heart of Gold by Neil Young and Willie Nelson

The Fall season automatically puts me in a Neil Young mood! Just started listening to Willie Nelson more and I am definitely a fan! The guitar that he plays on and the story behind it is so neat!!! "I've been in my mind, It's such a fine line, That keeps me searching for a heart of gold, And I'm getting old...You keep me searching for a heart of gold"

I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I went to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm growing old......
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

Dog Days Are Over Florence & the Machine ACOUSTIC

Holy hell her voice is beautiful and gets me all riled up!!! Acoustic version is definitely the best version of this song. I have a tattoo on my neck that means happiness, my one and only birthday wish since I can remember. "And I never wanted anything from you, Except everything you had and what was left after that too..."

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too!!!
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

"But I am up riding high amongst the waves, Where I can feel like I have a soul that has been saved, Where I can feel like I've put away my early grave, I gotta say it now better loud than too late..."

PJ in a month!

Row Jimmy by the Grateful Dead

One of the best youtube versions I have heard of this song. Love Jerry's hair blowing and the short shorts! Lyrics are a little off but the point is made;) "Broken heart don't feel so bad, You aint got half of what you thought you had, Rock your baby to and fro, Not too fast and not too slow..."

Julie catch a rabbit by his hair
Come back steppin like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And don't you run off no more.

Don't hang your head, let the two time roll
Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
Ask the time baby I don't know
Come back later, gonna let it show.

I say row jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

Here's a half dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air,
Look at Julie down below,
The levee doin the do-pas-o.

I say row jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

Broken heart don't feel so bad...
You aint got half of what you thought you had!
Rock your baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow!

I say row jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

That's the way it's been in town,
Ever since they tore the jukebox down.
Two bit piece don't buy no more,
Not so much as it done before.

I say row jimmy row, gonna get there I don't know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

67 DAYS AND COUNTING!

Colorado bound with my two favorite girls!

Best I Could by Dan Mills

This song hit me like a ton of bricks. Just love it! I've sent a copy of it to all my closest friends bc I am so in love with it! "And I have lingered and I have lied, You couldn't stop me if you tried, And I never loved you like I should, But I did the best I could...I'm wiser then the boy I've been..."


Packed last night so she could leave today
Rolled out the sweaters from the hide-a-way
Cold as a corner when she starts to say
Babe, I never had a chance

Drove five miles past the reservoir
Hands out the window couldn't stand for more
Footsteps laughing from the basement door
I'm tired of the song and dance!!!!!

And I have lingered and I have lied 
But you couldn't stop me if you tried!

Slow cold walks on the bowery alone
Long fake talks on the telephone
Twenty-one dollars just to get me home
I'm cooking up a night of sin

Foggy visions on the street below
Big decisions with the people we know
I see silver sides just starting to show 
I'm wiser than the boy I've been 

And I never loved you like I should
But I did the best I could!!!

And I have lingered and I have lied 
But you couldn't stop me if you tried 
And I never loved you like I should
But I did the best I could

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood..."

Breath by Pearl Jam

PJ in a little over a month:) K and Z, go see the world!!! Just make sure you check in with me everyday;) "Whoa. I suggest you step out on your porch....Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world!!!"

Oh, tonight began with anything.
Shaft of a light. A warm breath and a scream.Ah, yeah.
Oh, tamper if you like between the doors.
Oh yeah. Huh. Huh.
Oh, can't expect to go out, to go out with anything, anything more.

Oh reach the door. 
A breath and a scar...
Oh reach the door. 
And a la la la la yeah.
Life ain't what it's worth.
A breath and a scar... 
Oh reach the door.

All these reaching hands out grabbing things. Grabbing me.
Day in day out accumulating. Ah yeah.
Whoa. I suggest you step out on your porch.
Oh yeah. Huh. huh. Huh huh, yeah.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.

Oh reach the door.
A breath and a scar...
Oh reach the door.
Oha and a la la la la yeah.
Life ain't what it's worth.
A breath and a scar...
Oh reach the door.

Come. Here it comes. There it goes. When it comes.
Where it goes. Where it comes.
Can't see through the faith. Woah.
Ooh. Come. Here it comes. There it goes.
Grasp what you can!!!!
Don't you know there's something inside your head, yeah.

If I knew where it was I would take you there but there's much more
than this.
Ooh. Whoa, much more than this. Oh see the world. Much more than...
Oh, much more than. Why?

So Willie Nelson stills got it!

Bird Song by Grateful Dead

Fun trippy video;) One of my favorite song intros! The lyrics in this version are a tad funky but fabulous none the less. "All I know is something like a bird within her sang... Tell me ALL that you know, I'll show you the snow and rain...Don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind..."

All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on,
Tell me all that you know, Ill show you snow and rain.

If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin by,
Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark, fly through the night!!!!

Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore.
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind.

If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin by,

Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore.
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind.
La Da Da Da

All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew off,
Tell me all that you know, Ill show you snow and rain.

I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty

This is 9/11's theme song for me. This song gets me going, in an angry way, when I think of 9/11. "I'll keep this world from dragging me down, Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down..."

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Words of wisdom!

Happy Sunday Funday!

Nutshell by Alice In Chains

Eerie song but sometimes it fits the mood perfectly, like when you are driving late at night. "And yet I fight this battle all alone."

We chase misprinted lies 
We face the path of time 
And yet I fight 
And yet I fight 
This battle all alone 
No one to cry to 
No place to call home 

Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find 
Repeating in my head 
If I can't be my own 
I'd feel better dead 

Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons

Totally love the live version of this song. Not the studio version as much...K-you Ruthie and I just took the top off the car and blared the shit out of this song! You love it!!! "I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones, Enough to make my systems blow..."

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out of the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age


Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

"And I live with the notion that I don't need ANYONE but me!"

Don't Drink the Water by Dave Mathews Band

I currently am not a Dave Matthews fan, but love how riled up the message in this song can get you when you really, really listen! Sometimes it's all in the lyrics...A love song, I think not!!! "Now as I rest my feet by this fire, Those hands once warmed here, Well I have retired them, I can breathe my own air, I can sleep more soundly, Upon these poor souls, I'll build heaven and call it my home..."

Come out, come out

No use in hiding

Come now, come now

Can you not see?!?

There's no place here

What were you expecting

Not room for both

Just room for me!!!

Say you will lay your arms down

Yes I will call this my home

Away, away

You have been banished

Your land is gone

And given to me!

And here I will spread my wings:)

Yes I will call this my home

What's this you say

You feel the right to remain...?

Then stay and I will bury you!

All I can say to you my new neighbor

Is you must move on or I will bury you!!!

Here's the hitch

Your horse is leaving

Don't miss your boat

It's leaving now

And as you go I will spread my wings!!!

Yes I will call this home

Well I have no time to justify to you

Fool you're blind, move aside for me!!!
What this you say 
You feel the right to remain 
Then stay and I will bury YOU!

Now as I rest my feet by this fire

Those hands once warmed here

Well I have retired them

I can breathe my own air

I can sleep more soundly

Upon these poor souls

I'll build heaven and call it my home

'Cause you're all dead now

I live with my justice

I live with my greedy need!

I live with no mercy

I live with my frenzied feeding

I live with my hatred

I live with my jealousy

I live with the notion

That I don't need anyone but me!!!!

Don't drink the water

There's blood in the water 

This would fit nicely with my collection!

Shattered by O.A.R.

Monday funday! Heres to not turning the car around...This song always pops in my head when I am laying in bed waiting for morning..."I had no idea that the night would take so damn long..."

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything!!!!
But it's always back to you

Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you

But I'm good without you
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long!!!
I took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
Now

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around

Don't wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around

State of Love and Trust by Pearl Jam

You're never alone if you have music to listen to at night:) "Oh help me, help me from myself, AND I LISTEN FOR THE VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD, NOTHING! I'll do this one MYSELF!"

State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands, hands, yeah

And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself!!!!

Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be accountin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah

And the barrel shakes aimed a directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Myself, myself

Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Wanna back, back it away, yeah

And I listen, yeah, for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes
Aimed right at my head, don't won't you help me
Help me from myself

State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and yeah yeah

"I had no idea that the night could last so damn long..."
