Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machine

Cheers to a brand new year to come. Fare thee well 2014! "Leave all your love and your longing behind, You can't carry it with you if you want to survive..."

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

Release by Pearl Jam

Perfect for today! So grateful for my Dad! "I'll ride the wave, Where it takes me, I'll hold the pain, Release me..."

I see the world
Feel the chill
Which way to go
Windowsill
I see the words
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain

Oh dear Dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me

Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark
For you to speak to me
I'll open up
Release me
Release me
Release me
Release me

Behind Blue Eyes by the Who

Sunday funday:)

No one knows what it's like 
To be the bad man 
To be the sad man 
Behind blue eyes 

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams 
They aren't as empty 
As my conscience seems to be 
I have hours, only lonely 
My love is vengeance 
That's never free 

No one knows what it's like 
To feel these feelings 
Like I do
And I blame you!

No one bites back as hard 
On their anger 
None of my pain and woe 
Can show through 

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open 
Before I use it and lose my cool 
When I smile, tell me some bad news 
Before I laugh and act like a fool 

And If I swallow anything evil 
Put your finger down my throat 
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket 
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat 

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Jane Says by Jane's Addiction

Jane's Addiction kick:)!!! Well worth the 6 minutes and 5 seconds! "She don't mean no harm, She just don't know, What else to do about it..."

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 just
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 dont like them anyway 
Jane says
She's goin away to spain
When she gets 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 cant hit
She don't mean no harm 
She just 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 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
I only know they want me

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

Jane says

Stop by Jane's Addiction

LOUD as shit!!! Jane's Addiction will forever remind me of my older sisters and how cool I thought they were! Still love this band just as much as I did when I was a kid! "Lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop..."

Save the complaints
For a party conversation. 
The world is loaded,
It's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop... 

No one...
No one!
No way!
Gonna stop,
Now; go!

Farm people,
Book wavers, soul savers,
Love preachers! 
Lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop. 

No one...

One come a day, the water will run,
No man will stand for things that he had done...
Hurrah!
And the water will run... 
One come a day, the water will run,
No man will stand for things that he had done...
And the water will run...
Will Run!

Gimmie that!
Gimmie that - your automobile,
Turn off that smokestack
And that goddamn radio 
Hum... along with me... 
Hum along with the t.v.
Ohhhhh... 

No one's
Gonna 
Stop!

Where is My Mind by The Pixies

Old and perfect version:) Makes me smile to listen to it soooo LOUD, even though it is only 6 am. "Where is my mind? Way out in the water, See it simming..."

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind? 
Where is my mind? 
Where is my mind? 
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me, to me, to me.

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

Moonshadow by Cat Stevens

I played this song for you two on our way home from dinner:) We jammed! You absolutely loved hearing me sing;) "Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light. Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night..."

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if... I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colors all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if... I won't have to cry no more.

Yes I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if... I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if... I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?!!!

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Great song from way back when. I remember watching the music video for this one on MTV. "Truth, lies, and in between, Wrong can't be undone, Oh slipped, from the tip of Your tongue..."

Night, falls, and I'm alone!
Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone
You, turned and you ran,
Oh yeah
Oh slipped, right from my hand

Hey
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black
Oh yeah, blue on black

Blind, oh, now I see
Truth, lies, and in between!!!!
Wrong, cant be undone
Oh slipped, from the tip of 
Your tongue

Hey
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead mans touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Doesn't bring you back, yeah
Blue on black
Oh, blue on black
Oh, yeah

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
Is a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black
Oh yeah, blue on black

Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd

Just absolutely love this song! In honor of a girl I knew who reached for her secret too soon:( Lyrics start at 6 minutes, but the intro is worth it! "You reached for the secret too soon, You cried for the moon, Shine on you crazy diamond..."

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,
You legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter,
You piper, you prisoner, and shine!

DOA by the Foo Fighters

Old Foo Fighters:) Listening to it loud!!! "It's a shame we have to die my dear, No ones getting out of here, alive, This time..."

Oh you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waited and I waited the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline

I went down, I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever cause nothing last
Dancing with the bones of my buried past

Never mind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you

It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

What a way to go, they have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

I'm finished, I'm getting you off my chest!!!
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Hard to cross a heart that beats it's best

Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure but the pleasure's been mine, all mine

Ain't no way, DOA
Ain't no way, DOA

It's a shame we have to disappear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
This time
This time....

Let My Love Open The Door by Pete Townshend...

Compare to previous post. Fast version is my choice!

http://youtu.be/v-ErHX4IEIA

Let My Love Open The Door by Pete Townshend and Joe Purdy

Can't beat Pete Townshends' voice! Even Joe Purdy has an awesome reaction:) Love the harmonica. "When everything feels all over, Everybody seems unkind, I'll give you a four leaf clover, Take all worry out of your mind..."

When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

When everything feels all over
Everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four leaf clover
Take all worry out of your mind

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say

Let my love open the door, it's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love, that's my love

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

"I can see blue in the sky when it's raining..."

The Fool on the Hill by the Beatles

Feeling like a fool is never fun, but maybe the fool has got it right..."But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning around..."

Day after day, alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
As he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

He never listen to them
He knows that they're the fools!!!
They don't like him

The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

Dear Mr. Fantasy by Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton

I remember listening to this when I was a kid with my dad:) "Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had..."

Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy!!!!
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy, yeah yeah

Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

I Could Have Lied by Red Hot Chili Peppers

"I could never change just what I feel, My face will never show what is not real..."

There must be something
In the way I feel
That she don't want me to feel
The stare she bares cut me
I don't care
You see so what if I bleed

I could never change 
Just what I feel
My face will never show 
What is not real

A mountain never seems to have
The need to speak
A look that shares so many seek
The sweetest feeling
I got from you
The things I said to you were true!!!

I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

I could have lied I'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and I told her how
She struck me but I'm fucked up now

But now she's gone yes she's gone away
A soulful song that would not stay
You see she hides 'cause she is scared
But I don't care I won't be spared

I could have lied I'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and I told her how
She struck me but I'm fucked up now

I could have lied I'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and I told her how
She struck me but I'm fucked up now

Bittersweet by Big Head Todd

Highschool music! Love you forever and ever and ever Lauren:) But WOW this song means something a lot different now, as opposed to what it meant to us when we were 15..."It's bittersweet, More sweet than bitter, Bitter than sweet. It's a bittersweet surrender..."

A little light looks through her bedroom window.
She dances and I dream, she's not so far as she seems,
Of brighter meadows, melting sunsets,
Her hair blowing in the breeze.
And she can't see me watching.
And I'm thinking love...
Love...
Love...
Love...

It's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter, 
Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.

It's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter,
Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.

I'm older now.
I work in the city.
We live together.
But it's different than my dream.
Morning light fills the room. I rise.
She pretends she's sleeping.
Are we everything we wanted?
And I'm thinking love...
Love...
Love...
Love...

It's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter,
Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.

It's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter,
Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.

I know we don't talk about it.
We don't tell each other.
All the little things that we need.
We work our way around each other.
As we tremble and we
As we tremble and we bleed.
As we tremble and we
As we tremble and we bleed.

It's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter,
Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.

It's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter,
Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.

Natural Mystic Live by Bob Marley

Bob kind of day:) "There's a natural mystic blowing through the air, if you listen carefully now you will here!!!"

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
If you listen carefully now you will hear.
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last:
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die - don't ask me why.

Things are not the way they used to be,
I won't tell no lie;
One and all have to face reality now.
'Though I've tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask.
'Though I know it's impossible to go livin' through the past -
Can't keep us down

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air -
I won't tell no lie
Cause if you listen carefully now you will hear.

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air!!!

'Though I've tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask.
'Though I know it's impossible to go livin' through the past -
Can't keep us down

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air -
I won't tell no lie;
Cause if you listen carefully now you will hear:
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air.
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air;
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air.

You Can Tell Georgia by Joe Purdy

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! and sad:( "You can tell Georgia that you were wrapped up in my arms last night, I was holding you like you were mine...You can tell Georgia that my thinking is clear, And I've been thinking that I need you near!"


You can tell Georgia that you were wrapped up in my arms last night
And I was holding you like you were mine!!!
You can tell Georgia anytime

And you can tell Georgia that my thinking is clear
And I've been thinking that I need you near
You can tell Georgia I was here
Oh you can tell Georgia I was here

Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up SWEET dear
I said no

You can tell Georgia if I see him around
Honey I'm gonna knock him down
Oh everyone be down
And if you see him again
Oh you can tell Georgia where I am
Oh you can tell Georgia where I am

Am I waking you up you said to me
am I waking you up you said to me
am I waking you up you said to me
am I waking you up you said to me
am I waking you up you said to me
am I waking you up dear
I said no

And I'll be waiting!


Country Road by Jack Johnson and Paula Fugea

Need a positive pick me up:) One day! So many different versions of this song but the message is always the same. "Sometimes it's hard to ease my mind to realize, You're always with me waiting, willing, To hear my prayers, my hopes, my dreams, my every need, I pray for peace in times of war!!!"

Head on collision on a two lane country road,
Lord I pray let them be safe.
No turning back I'm just a mile away from home,
I sit here waiting let me be patient.

Sometimes it's hard to ease my mind to realize,
You're always with me waiting, willing
To hear my prayers, my hopes, my dreams, my every need
I pray for light in times of darkness

What's meant to be will always be though I control my destiny,
Free will you gave me even though you made me.
Be careful of the things you do it eventually comes back to you,
Universal law, Babylon shall fall.

Sometimes it's hard to ease my mind to realize,
You're always with me waiting, willing
To hear my prayers, my hopes, my dreams, my every need
I pray for wisdom and overstanding

Destruction of civilization pass consequence of...
The air we breath we get from the trees
What goes up must come back down, what goes around comes back around
The things you do shall be done onto you. 

Sometimes it's hard to ease my mind to realize,
You're always with me waiting, willing
To hear my prayers, my hopes, my dreams, my every need
I pray for peace in times of war

Universal law, Babylon shall fall.
The things you do shall be done onto you!

Society by Eddie Vedder

One of my favorite of his solo songs. This song makes me want to learn and master the guitar, or even the ukelele. "Society, you're a crazy breed, I hope you're not lonely without me..." 

Throwback: 
http://www.musiclyricsmartiloves.com/2013/12/society-youre-crazy-breed-hope-youre.html

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
You think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
You think you need
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'Cause when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less, less is more
But if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make your level drops
Kinda like it's starting from the top, you can't do that

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

You Don't Know How it Feels by Tom Petty

Fun version of this song! "Think of me what you will, I've got a little space to fill, So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint:)"

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me :(

But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I got to go
And you don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me

Worn Out Shoes by Joe Purdy

He has a beautiful voice. Damn the devil..."Theres a hole in the earth where the devil he stays, he asked if i could come too, so i grabbed my stars and i put them away, and said I was just passing through..."

Theres a hole in the roof for the stars to fall in
I gather them up for you
Fill up my pockets, start walking again
I've got these worn out shoes
I've got these worn out shoes
I've got these worn out shoes

Theres a hole in my pocket for the stars to fall out
I lose them one at a time
I didn't notice when they hit the ground
The devil was three steps behind
The devil was three steps behind
The devil was three steps behind me

Theres a hole in the earth where the devil he stays
He asked if i could come too
So I grabbed my stars and I put them away
I was just passing through
I was just passing through
I was just passing through here

Theres a hole in the roof for the stars to fall in
I gather them up for you
Fill up my pockets, start walking again
Bringing these stars to you
Bringing these stars to you
Bringing these stars to you again

In a perfect world.... Such a pretty song and I love the lyrics:) "I'd stand up for you if it's what you need, And I can take a punch, I don't mind to bleed, As long as afterwards you feel bad for me..."

You don't need to change
A thing about you babe
I'm telling you from where I sit 
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you 
Is out of his mind

I've been down and I need your help
I've been feelin' sorry for myself
Don't hesitate to boost my confidence

Well I've been lost and I need direction
I could use a little love protection
What you say honey come to my defense

I'd stand up for you if it's what you need
And I can take a punch, I don't mind to bleed
As long as afterwards you feel bad for me

You give me all of your attention
I've got deep desire and it needs quenching
I think that's pretty lame for you to see

Well enough about me and more about you
Because that'd be the gentlemanly thing to do
I hope you like your men sweet and polite

I thought I was done with telling you
But I ain't nearly halfway through
I've got a few more things Id like to say to you tonight
So get ready...

You don't need to change
A thing about you babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
is out of his mind, out of his mind

You always did kinda drive me crazy
And it pissed me off cuz I let it phase me
But I never wanted my time with you to end

Now I'm back in town for a day or two 
Mostly I came back just to see you
And even now, I don't want to go 

You don't need to change
A thing about you babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
is out of his mind

Drain You by Nirvana

LOUD! Found a Kurt Cobain t shirt in Target. While I am so grateful that the music still lives on, it makes me wonder how effing main stream our society is...Don't get me wrong, I bought the shirt and can't wait to rock it! I wanted to buy every single shirt and only let the true fans buy them:) Great version of this song!!! "With eyes so dilated I've become your pupil..."

One baby to another says I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

With eyes so dilated I've become your pupil
You taught me everything without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful, vacuum out the fluids

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

One baby to another says I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely slay you
I travel through a tube and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I like you

Where is My Mind by the Pixies

Loud:)! "Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?!?!"

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind? 
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me, to me, to me.

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

Oh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Oh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Oh

Someone Like You by Adele

This song came on the radio three different times today, on three different channels. Life is full of ironies. "Never mind, I'll find someone like you, I wish nothing but the best for you too, Don't forget me, I beg!!!!"

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg!!!
I'll remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I'll remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I'll remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead".

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I'll remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Boss D.J. by Sublime

Hooray for Saturdays!!! "Just let the lovin' take ahold, 'cause it will if you let it. I'm funky, not a junky...It's so nice, I want to hear the SAME SONG TWICE!!!"


There's a steel train comin' through,
I would take it if I can 
And I would not lie to you
Because Sunday morning soon will come
When things would be much easier to say
Upon the microphone like a boss DJ
When I would work upon the sea like it was dry land.
The boss DJ ain't nothin' but a man.

No trouble no fuss, .. I know why.
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice.
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice.

Rumors flyin' all over town,
But it's just stones and sticks.
'Cause on the microphone is where I go to get my fix.
Just let the lovin' take ahold, 'cause it will if you let it.
I'm funky, not a junky, but I know where to get it.

No trouble no fuss, .. I know why.
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice.
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice.

So mister DJ, don't stop the music, I wanna know,
Are you feelin' the same way too?
I wanna rock with you girl, oo-girl.
Don't stop.
Oo-we girl, oo-we girl
There really ain't no time to waste, really ain't no time to hate.
Ain't got no time to waste, time to hate.
Really ain't time to make the time go away.

Because
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice.
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice.

Oo-we girl, oo-we girl
Now a days the times on the radio drive me crazy
Don't stop Don't stop
Because its so nice

Billy Breathes by Phish

Soft and quiet music kind of morning. "Time it seems, in broken dreams...Sing it softly..."

Tumbling greens, a pick-up screams
Alone above the square
Whoa, sing softly
Above the trees where Billy breathes
We float upon the air
Whoa, oh

Softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs
Ooooh ooooh

Silent scenes in motion means,
I'll wake you when we're there
Whoa, sing softly
Time, it seems, in broken dreams!!!
To sleep beside the stair
Whoa, oh

Softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs
Ooooh ooooh

Softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs

The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix

"Somewhere a Queen is weeping, Somewhere a King has no wife..."

After all the jacks are in their boxes,
And the clowns have all gone to bed,
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
Footprints dressed in red.

And the wind whispers Mary.

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
Somewhere a King has no wife.

And the wind it cries Mary.

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed,
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.

And the wind screams Mary.

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."

And The Wind Cries Mary.

Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads

Second verse lyrics are totally different in this live version, which makes it better:)!!! One of Kelsi Bell's first favorite songs. A one year old screaming "Psycho Kisser....run away" That is just how we roll:) "We are vain and we are blind, I hate people when they're not polite"

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and 
I Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

I am a passed out I was a ghost
I'm sadder then you'll ever know
I close my eyes on this sunny day
Say something once, Why say it again!!!

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK

We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

Take Me To Church by Hozier

I really like the way this song sounds and the lyrics!!! I have no clue about the band but I will be doing some research:) "I was born sick, But I love it, Command me to be well, Amen. Amen. Amen..."

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner

If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick,' you heard them say it

My church offers no absolution
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you!!!!

I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

No masters or kings
When the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen. Amen. Amen

Her Diamonds by Rob Thomas

This song is STUCK in my head.  I downloaded it so I can sing it, and when I sing it, I really sing it:) "She shuts out the night, Tries to close her eyes, If she can find daylight, She'll be alright, She'll be alright, Just not tonight..."

Oh what the hell she said
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doing
Like I don't know now

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then i do too
So I let her be

And she says oh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win it
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And i know i could break her concentration
But it don't feel right

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see

And she says oh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win it
To to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She'll be alright
She'll be alright
Just not tonight

And she says oh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win it
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

Built to Last by the Grateful Dead

Words of wisdom I leave for my little ones! When I was in high school I wrote these lyrics on my wall with a sharpie. "All the starts are gone but one, Morning breaks, Here comes the sun, Cross the sky now sinking fast, Show me something built to last!"

There are times that you can beckon
There are times when you must call
You can shake a ton of reckoning
But you can't shake it all
There are times when I can help you out
And times that you must fall
There are times when you must live in doubt
And I can't help at all

Three blue stars
Rise on the hill
Say no more, now
Just be still
All these trials
Soon be past
Look for something built to last

Wind held by the collar
Yes a cloud held by the breeze
You can walk on coals of fire
But sometimes you must freeze
There are times when you offend me
And I do the same to you
If we can't or won't forget it,
Then I guess we could be through

One blue star
Sets on the hill
Call it back
You never will
One more star
Sinks in the past
Look for something built to last.

Built to last till time itself
Falls tumbling from the wall
Built to last till sunshine fails
And darkness moves on all
Built to last while years roll past
Like cloudscapes in the sky
Show me something built to last
Or something built to try

There are times when you get hit upon
Try hard but you cannot give
And  you'd gladly part
With what you need to live
Don't waste your breath to save your face
When you have done your best
And even more is asked of you
Let fate decide the rest.

All the stars  
Are gone but one
Morning breaks 
Here comes the sun
Cross the sky now sinking fast
Look for something built to last

Three blue stars  
Rise on the hill
Say no more, now 
Just be still
All these trials  
Soon be past
She me something built to last

One blue star
Sets on the hill
Call it back
You never will
One more star
Sinks in the past
Look for something built to last.

All the stars are gone but one
Morning breaks
Here comes the sun
Cross the sky not sinking fast
Show me something built to last!

Comfortably Numb by Roger Waters & Eddie Vedder

It's a loud music kind of day bc I am definitely comfortably numb!!!  While I am not feeling Eddie Vedder these days, he makes this version of this song. "Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain, And get you on your feet again..."


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

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

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

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

Mad World by Gary Jules and Curt Smith (Tears for Fears)

For you my dear friend J! This is such an eerie sad, yet beautiful song! Reminds me of a girl I knew who didn't make it through her terrible teen years! Breaks my heart forever. "Children waiting for the day they feel good, Happy birthday, happy birthday, And to feel the way that every child should, Sit and listen, sit and listen..."

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world, mad world, mad world

High Time by Jerry Garcia

ACOUSTIC AND AMAZING!!! "I could show you a high time, Could show you a good life, Don't be that way..."

You told me goodbye
How was I to know
You didn't mean goodbye
You meant please don't let me go
I was having a high time
Living the good life
Well I know


The wheels are muddy
Got a ton of hay
Now listen here baby
'Cause I mean what I say
I'm having a high time
Living the good life
Well I know


I was losing time, I had nothing to do
No-one to fight, I came to you
Wheels broke down, leader won't draw
The line is busted, the last one I saw

Tomorrow comes trouble
Tomorrow comes pain
Now don't think too hard, baby
'Cause you know what I'm saying
I could show you a high time
Could show you a good life
Don't be that way


Nothing's for certain
It could always go wrong
Come in when it's raining
Go on out when it's gone
We could have us a high time
Living the good life
Well I know

The Fool on the Hill by the Beatles

Perfect fit for a fool I know...

Day after day, alone on the hill

The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
As he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill

Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

He never listen to them
He knows that they're the fools!!!
They don't like him
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

Lost Cause by Beck

Just so beautiful! "Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone, They make it hard to leave you alone..."

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, nobody cares

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
No one left to watch your back now
No one standing at your door
That's what you thought love was for

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man

Blue In The Sky by Joe Purdy

My summer soundtrack:) Just discovered this musician and I think his music is AMAZING!!!  "I CAN SEE BLUE IN THE SKY WHEN IT'S RAINING!!!...She's the first one to go she doesn't give any warning, She just gets up and goes she doesn't give any warning..."


Well I looked out of my window this morning
And I saw the strangest thing
Everyone was walking on water and dancing in the rain

Oh darlin' I got so jealous
Just wishin' you were here with me
And I saw the prettiest people
They were kissing in the street
They didn't care who was watching
In the middle of the street
Didn't care who was watching!!!!!!!!!!

Well I can see blue in the sky when it's raining!!!!
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
Raining on me and I'm waiting on you

Just sitting here watching the weather
And I can feel the air is getting colder
They say sometimes the sunshine of a party
She's the first one to go she doesn't give any warning
She just gets up and goes she doesn't give any warning

I can see blue in the sky when its raining
And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
Raining on me and I'm waiting on you
Oh, no no no no

Oh what would you do if I showed up
Oh at your doorstep just ready to go
Would you send me away
Or would you come out and play
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today

'Cause I can see blue in the sky when its raining
And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
Raining on me and I'm waiting on you

Oh I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
Oh I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
Oh I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
Raining on me and I'm waiting on you

Oh I can see you, no I can see you
Oh I can see you, no I can see you
Oh I can see you, no I can see you
Oh I can see you you you you.

And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
And I can see you in my eyes when it's raining
Raining on me and I'm waiting on you
