Song Lyrics that make you think

Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson

she's made of hair and bone and little teeth
and things I cannot speak
she comes on like a crippled plaything
spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
but flies will lay their eggs

Take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet

prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
sealed up with virgin stitch
if it hurts, just tell me
preserve the innocence
I never wanted it to end this way
but flies will lay their eggs

Take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet


That was the song I listed too during my divorce. BITCH!!!!

here's the introduction to 'freakshow', by the residents:

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up and you will see on display
a collection of some of the stranges specimens ever gathered
together -- both LIVE and preserved.
You will see the incredible JELLO JACK -- the boneless boy and
HERMAN -- The Human Mole.
You'll see WANDA -- The Worm Woman and MICKEY -- The
Mumbling Midget with his secret from far beyond the realm of
human understanding.
There's also Benny -- Bouncing Benny The Bump who can't wait to
show you the eerie and shapeless mass which he hides beneath his
shirt and shows only when he does his famous dance --
THE BOUNCING BUMP!
So -- step this way, folks come on in, you know you can't resist.
Come in and make your mundane lives look like the kiss of bliss.

Everyone comes to the Freak Show
To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks
Everyone comes to the Freak Show
But nobody laughs when they leave.

Once a man exploded just before he went to sleep
When his wife awoke she found some fragments of his feet
She wondered what had happened but there was no mouth to say
Or lips to kiss or even any tears to wipe away
She went to see a priest and asked if death could be much worse
Than knowing what was left of love would fit inside her purse.

Someone said that nothing hurts you
Like a vice without a virtue;
That may be but is it worse than
Life when it becomes so certain
That your eyes cannot be open

To the twisted and the broken?



I'm not old, you're just 12.
Okay, I usually post really angry lyrics, but today I'd like to post some happy words for y'all....

Bodhisattva Vow (Beastie Boys/Caldato)

As I develop the awakening mind,
I praise the Buddhas as they shine,
I bow before you as I travel My path,
To join your ranks , I make my full time task,
For the sake of all beings I seek
The enlightened mind that I know I'll reap,
Respect to Shantideva and all the others
who brought down the Dharma for sisters and brothers,
I give thanks for this world as a place to learn,
and for this human body I'm glad to have earned
and my deepest thanks to all sentient beings
for without them there would be no place to learn
what I'm seeing
There's nothing here that's not been said before,
but I put it down now so that I'll be sure
to solidify my own views
and I'll be glad if it helps anyone else out too.
If others disrespect me or give me flack,
I'll stop and think before I react
Knowing that they're going through insecure stages,
I'll take the opportunity to help help the other person,
Nip it in the bud before it can worsen
a chance for me to be strong and sure,
as I think on the Buddhas who have come before,
as I praise and respect the good they've done,
Knowing only love can conquer hate in every situation,
We need other people in order to create
the circumstances for the learning we're here to generate
Situations that bring up our deepest fears
so we can work to release them until they're cleared
Therefore it only makes sense
to thank our enemies despite their intent
The Bodhisattva path is one of power and strength
a Strength from within to go the length
seeing others are as important as myself
I strive for a happiness of mental wealth
with the interconnectedness that we share as one
every action that we take affects everyone
so in deciding for what a situation calls
There is a path for the good of all
I try to make my every action for that highest good,
with the altruistic wish to acheive Buddhahood,
so I pledge here before everyone who's listening
to try to make my every action for the good of all beings
for the rest of my lifetimes and even beyond
I vow to do my best to do no harm
and in times of doubt I can think on the Dharma
and the enlightened ones who've graduated Samsara.

That song always cheers me up when I'm depressed and puts my mind back into focus. (It took a lot of typing, but I didn't mind the work, it calmed me just reading it.)

"Step right up, step right up, step right up
Everyone's a winner, bargains galore
That's right, you too can be the proud owner
of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar
we got service after the sale

How 'bout perfume?, we got perfume
How 'bout an engagenment ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady
something for the little lady, Hmmmmm?
Three for a dollar

We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
and smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today
Act now, act now and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills, you're tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go, going out of business
going out of business, going out of business sale

Fifty perecnt off original retail price,
skip the middle man don't settle for less
How do we do it, how do we do it?
Volume, volume, turn up the volume
Now you've heard it advertised, don't hesitate
Don't be caught with your drawers down
don't be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up, step right up

That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarassing age spots
It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens and it strengthens
and it finds that slipper that's been at large under the
chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean rhythm master,
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
and it's only a dollar, step right up
It's only a dollar, step right up

'Cause it forges your signature
if not completely satisfied, mail back unsed portion of product
for complete refund of price of purchase
Step right up now
Please allow thirty days for delivery, don't be fooled by cheap imitations
You can live in it, live in it, laugh in it, love in it,
swim in it, sleep in it, live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarassing stains from contour sheets, that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts, change your life, change your life
change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back, Jack
See you later alligator, see you later alligator

And it steals your car
And it gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking
It's a friend, it's a companion, it's the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions, it never needs irioning
well it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midrift,
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job
It is a job, and it strips the phone company,
free take ten for five exchange and it gives you denture breath
and you know it's a friend and a companion
and it gets rid of your traveler's cheques
It's new, it's improved, it's old fashioned
well it takes care of business, never needs winding
Never need winding, never needs winding

Gets rid of blackheads, the heartbreak of psoriasis
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, Buddy
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
'Cause it's effective, it's defective, it creates household odors
it disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection, it wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It's a redeemable coupon, no obligation, no salesman will visit your home
We got a jackpot, jackpot, jackpot, prizes, prizes, prizes
all work guaranteed, how do we do it
How do we do it, how do we do it, how do we do it?
We need your business, we're going out of business
we'll give you the business
Get on the business end of our going-out-of-business sale
Receive our free brochure, free brochure
read the easy-to-follow assembly instructions, batteries not included
send before midnight tomorrow, terms available

Step right up, step right up, step right up
You got it, Buddy: the large print giveth and the small print
taketh away
Step right up, you can step right up, you can step right up
C'mon, step right up
(Get away from me kid, you bother me)
Step right up, step right up, step right up, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mob, c'mon
teop right up, you can step right up, c'mon and step right up
C'mon and step right up"

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I just wish that I didn't feel
like there was something I missed

And I take back all the things I said
to make you feel like that

And I just wish that I didn't feel
like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said to you

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I just wish that I didn't feel
like there was something I missed

And I take back all the things I said
to make you feel like that

And I just wish that I didn't feel
like there was something I missed

And I take back all the things I said to you

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
My December by Linkin Park



In Soviet America, you sue MPAA!
Nobody listens any more to the lies
Is there a woman who keeps swallowing flies
Is there a Jesus waiting arms open wide
Too many stories, and too many.

Nobody listens any more to the trees
All moving too fast turning birds into bees
Some say the hurricane will soon be a breeze
I want to see it I want to believe

Wake up and smell the roses trust me and leap
The hand that rocks the cradle rocks you to sleep
It's not what you think it's not what you see
Is there a future or is it just me

Some days I'm happy, some days I'm all right (victim)
Some days I'm thinking maybe dead would be nice (can I suggest)
Some days it's easy, some days it's a fight (victim)
Some days I'm thinking life itself is the price

The wind it whispers today could be your last
Annihilation but why overreact
All roads are leading to repeating the past
I see the weeds are coming up again through the cracks

Some days I'm happy, some days I'm all right (victim)
Some days I'm thinking maybe dead would be nice (can I suggest)
Some days it's easy, some days it's a fight (victim)
Some days I'm thinking life itself is the price

Some people never fly, some people fly and die
Some people tell you that ours is not to reason why
Some people live alone, some people live a lie
Some people tell you that the grass is greener if you're high
Some people sell you love, some people sell you faith
Some people sell you white and openly engender hate
Some people fight to win, some people have to fight
Some people tell you that to turn the other cheek is right
Some people have it all, some people never will
Some people go through life oblivious to all its ills
Some people live in hope,some people live in fear
Some days I'm thinking **** it all
It's wasted on deaf ears

Nobody listen any more it's a crime
Religious freaks see it all as a sign
We're preaching equal with a mountain to climb
Am I alone here or am I wasting my

Okay

Some days I'm happy, some days I'm all right (victim)
Some days I'm thinking maybe dead would be nice (can I suggest)
Some days it's easy, some days it's a fight (victim)
Some days I'm thinking life itself is the price

I wanna hear what the man with the gun has to say
when he says what he has to say
I wanna know why the man has a gun
and the gun not the man keeps the world at bay
I wanna know what the man with the plan
had in mind when he said 'what will be will be'
I wanna hear what the man has to say
what the man has to say might just save me

Watch me reel them in
Watch me reel them in

I wanna hear what the man on the street has to say
when he says what he has to say
I wanna feel what the man on the street gets to feel
when we turn and we walk away
I wanna hear what the man at the top
has to say for himself on judgement day
I wanna hear what the man has to say
what the man has to say might just save me

Watch me reel them in
Watch me reel them in

It's just a ride, ride

1980's punk rock weirdness!

Right Wing Pigeons by The Dead Milkmen

There's a town in Georgia,
Got a law on the books,
Says, "If we all got guns,
Then we wont have crooks"

Now what would make them think that way?
What would make them act that way?

They're just right wing pigeons
From outer-space,
Sent here to destroy the human race,
They don't give a damn about you or me,
They just buy guns and watch their TV's.

There's a woman in Detroit owns a can of mace,
Got pissed at my brother so she sprayed it in his face,

Now what would make them think that way?
What would make them act that way?

She's just a right wing pigeon
From outer-space,
Sent here to destroy the human race,
She don't give a damn about you or me,
She just buys guns and watches TV.

The Man in the White House,
He just don't care,
He starves little kids and he dyes his hair

Now what would make him think that way?
What would make him act that way?

He's just a right wing pigeon
From outer-space,
Sent here to destroy the human race,
He don't give a sh*t about you or me,
He just buys guns and watches TV.

(Now just imagine that being sung by an 18 year old with no talent, backed by a band that has little musical knowledge, if any, and you will see how much it rocks...)



me, myself being a punk addict love anti-flag, AFI, SOAD, Mi6, new found glory, treble charger... anyways my point WaS.. well heres one of my favourite songs, for the lyrics.!.

HOW TO BE AN IDIOT ----> Mi6

ANOTHER MORNING STILL IN BED, SO MANY THOUGHTS RUN THROUGH MY HEAD,
SELF-MOTIVATING NOT TO BE
I STAYED UP LATE THE NIGHT BEFORE, TO CONTIMPLATE AND SELF ABSORB,
THERE IS NO ANSWER I CAN SEE
KNOWING MY LIFE SUCKS TO ME
YESTERDAY I WROTE ANOTHER GOODBYE NOTE
I TOOK A RAZOR AND I TRIED TO CUT MY THROAT
BUT I MISSED A DULL BLADE ONE OF MY FIRST SIGNS
I FOUND A PLASTIC BAG TO WRAP AROUND MY HEAD
IT WAS A LITTLE SMALL I KILLED THE CAT INSTEAD
THAT LITTLE BASTARD'S SUPPOSE TO LIVE ANOTHER 8 MORE TIMES
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY MIND
PROZAC FOR THE WAY YOU FEEL, MAKES YOUR BODY SO SUREAL
HAVING ONE WITH WINE IS JUST THE TRICK
TOOK A LIGHTER TO A CAN OF RAID, DRINKING DRAIN-O LEMONAIDE
AND ALL IT DID WAS MAKE ME REALLY SICK

BUT I DON'T CARE, MY WHOLE DAMN LIFE SEEMS SO UNFAIR
DO YOU KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH ME
HERE IN MY OWN HELL, THEY SAY THAT I DON'T LOOK SO WELL
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONELY IT CAN BE
KNOWING MY LIFE SUCKS TO ME

TODAY I'M FEELING DOWN, LIKE MOST OF THE TIME
I CALLED ANOTHER DAM SUICIDE HOT LINE
AND THE GIRL ON THE PHONE DIDN'T REALLY CARE
I SAID I'D END MY LIFE, BUT IT ALWAYS FALLS APART
I COULDN'T GET MY BRAND NEW CAR TO START.
THE DISAPPOINTMENTS MORE THAN I CAN BARE.
OPENED UP THE OVEN DOOR, LAID DOWN ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR
AND ONLY BURNED MY ELBOWS ON THE RACK
JUMPED OUT OF A FLYING PLANE, YOU'D THINK THAT I MIGHT BE INSANE
BUT I FORGOT MY CHUTE WAS ON MY BACK

I TIED A KNOT AND PULLED IT THROUGH, AND BROKE THE CEILING FAN IN TWO
IT ONLY MADE ME DIZZY FOR A BIT
NOW I'M BURRIED UNDERGROUND, AND EVERYONE JUST STANDS AROUND MY
GRAVE STONE WITH THE CAPTION "IDIOT"


I guess its not like 'deep or anything but its about the closest description around as i can find!



Lets put a smile on that block
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - "Im just a sweet transvestite..."

but by night im one hell of lover!

Im just a sweet transvestite...from Transexual...
Transylvania!

Let me...show you around.
Maybe...play you a sound.
You look like your both, pretty groovy.
Or if you, want something visual,
thats not to abismal,
We could take in an... old Steve Reeves movie?

(Brad)
Im glad we caught you at home,
Could we, use your phone?
Were both in a, bit of a hurry.

"RIGHT!" (Jennet)
We'll just say where we are,
then go back to the car.
We dont want to be any worry.


WELL you got caught with a flat, well...
How about that?
Well babies...dont you panic.
By the LIGHT of the night,
It'll all seem alright.
I'll get you a satanic...mechanic.

Im just a sweet transvestite...from Transexual...
Transylvania!

Why dont you...Stay for the night?
(NIGHT!)
Or maybe...a bite?
(BITE!)
I could show you my favourite...obsession.

With blonde hair and a tan.
And his good for relieving my...tension.

Im just a sweet transvestite...from Transexual...
Transylvania!

Hit it! yeah!

Is not really to blame,
So i'll remove the cause...
Mmm..he he he..But not the SYMPTON!

"I walk around the house - drunk
I'm wearing women's slippers
Man, I must be a sight to behold
But I'm not quite sure - I lost my mirror
and the pizza I ordered offers no reflection

I walk around the house
I think about people who have fouled me
and therefore should die
But then I think of all the interesting crafts
you can make with toilet paper rolls

Once a year, I get drunk in a darkened house - for a week
I get drunk and watch...Eraserhead
as I think we all do sometimes
It's my vacation
Once a year I have a little black & white drunkathon:
no phones, not a single luxury
My horoscope has been suspended
Loud, industrial noises

The first three days I just watch
Well, I drink and watch, Eraserhead
The third and fourth day I usually find myself pacing
circling the TV, looking at the glow from behind
I'll pause for a pizza
I won't eat it, I just order it to prove I'm still in control

Eraserhead

By the end of the week, I interact with this
majestic little film
Not so much words as gesticulations:
I kiss the screen
I rub my buttered belly on the screen
as I think we all do sometimes

I roam around the house
the darkened, drunkened house
Sometimes, and this has got to be an hour before dawn
I put a rose up my bum
You know, the business-end sticking out
And I sort of improvise a playful dance in my surroundings
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-Eraserhead

If you were there in my house
you could follow a trail of those rose petals
and they would lead to me
Curled up, fetal position, quivering, crying,
my teeth chattering
Industrial Eraserhead-type noises
coming from inside me
And as you picked me up and wrapped me in a blanket
my vacation would be complete

This behavior might disturb me
if Eraserhead weren't such a fine little film
Dontchya' think?"


"Eraserhead", Bruce McCulloch



A novel adaptation.
I'm a big Bruce McCulloch fan, although my favorites are probably those of most Kids in the Hall viewers...
"America" and "Doors Fan"

The Terrier song is pretty good, also.

I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But sun doesn't give light to the moon to assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me you do
Favors and then rapidly you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do
And run away over the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known that you'd
Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Shut.....
Up.....
WHY?

I am so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest.


A Place For My Head by Linking Park. The first time I heard this one, I thought: .

"I bet one legend that keeps reoccurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye."



"Some people look at a flag
swaying in the breeze at the White House
and say, 'That's America'

Whenever I see an American flag
hung in a window of a basement apartment
by guys who have better things to do
with their money than buy curtains,
I say, 'That's America to me'

In America there are fifty-one states
Or maybe it's eighty by now,
does England count? I'm not quite sure
The one thing I am sure of is
if I'm standing in a warehouse beside a timeclock
and a guy is punching-in his best friend
who's too hung over to get out of bed
I'm standing in America,
The makeover capitol of the world

The place where every young man
has to answer in his heart the question:
What do love more, your girlfriend or your car?
Where that young man can buy a
beat-up car for three-hundred dollars
but has to spend a thousand to insure it
The land where even a paperboy can
option the film rights to a book
America

In America, a woman on an assembly line
works out her overtime in her head to infinity
And at the exact same moment
her husband gets into a car crash
'cause he's lookin' at a girl in a tubetop
America, a land where spelling doesn't count
People's pets do!
Where else can a guy get a job
riding a whale at MarineLand?

The land where a guy's girlfriend
breaks-up with him over the phone
So he takes a gun and kills the principal
Everyone's sad until they get the day off
Next week, another guy, another gal,
another 'we can still be friends' phonecall
Whu-oh: the assistant principal gets killed
And everyone's sad because they don't get the day off
because he was only the assistant principal

America, a land of opportunity
Yes, that great lumbering beast
that journeys tirelessly and stops
only to eat a clubhouse sandwich
and pick its teeth with a matchbook
and fall asleep with the TV on

America, a place for Americans"


"That's America", Bruce McCulloch



Whatever..
Dre, just let it run
Hey Yo turn the beat up a little bit
Hey Yo.. this song is for anyone.. f*** it
Just shut up and listen, Hey Yo

I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
of this weed it gives me the sh*t needed to be
the most meanest MC on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre sh*t that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
all this tension dispensin these sentences
Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest
and I rest again peacefully (peacefully)..
but at least have the decency in you
to leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter
to not come and speak to me (speak to me)..
I don't know you and no,
i dont owe you a mo-ther-f***-in' thing
I'm not Mr. N*Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
if you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)..
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air
I don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of arguin'(arguin')
I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me

Chorus: And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know, it's just the way I am

Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
with all of this nonsense it's constant
And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses"
And all of this controversy circles me
and it seems like the media immediately
points a finger at me (finger at me)..
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
when you don't give a f***, when you won't just put up
with the bullsh*t they pull, cause they full of sh*t too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
havin this happenin (this happenin)..
then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
to burn and it's burnin' and I have returned

Chorus:And I am, whatever you say I am.
If I wasn't then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, everyday I am.
Radio won't even play my jam.
Cause I am, whatever you say I am.
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, everyday I am.
I don't know, it's just the way I am.

I'm so sick and tired of bein admired
that I wish that I would just die or get fired
and dropped from my label and stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name is.."
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
to cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)..
to deal with these cocky caucasians who think
I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk
with an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep askin
the same f***in' questions (f***in' questions)..
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out
cause they drivin me crazy (drivin me crazy).. I can't take it
I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
But I can't take a sh*t, in the bathroom
without someone standin by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an *ss but I'm glad

Chorus: Cuz I am, whatever you say I am.
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, everyday I am.
Radio won't even play my jam.
Cause I am, whatever you say I am.
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, everyday I am.
I don't know, it's just the way I am.


The Way I Am by Eminem. I utterly love this song. I couldn't believe how clever the lyrics are!



I always thought the Genesis album 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' would make a cool movie. I'm a big fan of Peter Gabriel.

what I do I do because I like to do



A novel adaptation.


Hey man, listen up.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. You know that new Depeche Mode album? It sucks.
You know what? That new Cure album? It sucks.
That new Happy Mondays album? I don't know if there is one, but if there is, it sucks.
I can say this 'cause I know. 'Cause I'm a Doors fan.

And you know, if you want to be a Doors fan, you know what? You might already be one, and you don't even know it. You know, sort of like being gay, you're walking around, you know something's up, you just don't know what it is. You see, Doors fans aren't made, they're born. I'll bet right now, in Africa, there's some guy madely beatin' on a drum; he's one. Or an old lady on a bus, suckin' humbugs; she's a Rider on The Storm, and she don't even know it. I do... 'Cause I'm a Doors fan.
And if you want to be a Doors fan, don't just go buy a greatest hits album. Greatest Hits albums are for housewives and little girls. You want to be a Doors fan, you gotta do it right. It's very scientific. You gotta buy Waiting For The Sun. It's their third album, but really it's their first. We call it the departure point.

Okay, Quick quiz: Who's on bass? No bass. That's right. The Doors had no bass. You see, the gypsies ad no homes. Don't let that scare you, let that free you. Let that liberate you. 'Cause when you're free-flying with the Doors, man, you don't need no safety net. If you scream, "Viva la Doors!" loud enough for your landlord to start thumpin' on the walls, then you might in fact be a Doors fan.

There's one way to know for absolute sure. Get an eight-track tape of LA Woman -there's only a few in existence- and steal a car. Even if you own one, steal a car. Get in that car, play the tape, full blast, and drive West. When the tape ends, get out, and go to the nearest bar, and start to play pool, or pinbball, or possibly even foosball, and wait to get into a fight. Afterwards, get back into that car, and drive till it runs out of gas. Then, torch it. And if, as you're standing there, watching those flames, if you can still hear the Doors sound, you will have become a Doors fan. You wanna know how I know? You wanna know who told me? Well, last year, Jim ****in' Morrisson told me, that's who. He came to me, 'cause I'm a Doors fan. I'm a Doors fan, man... man, I love their sound. I like the Doors.

"A Doors Fan", by Bruce Mcculoch



Creeds songs .....Arms Wide Open and My Sacrifice...

Most U2 songs does it for me as well.........



You're in my mind
All of the time

If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love.............Electrical Storm...U2

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it..........................One .......U2

I'm not old, you're just 12.
Right......NOW!

I am an anti-christ,
I am an anarchist,
Don't know what I want,
But I know how to get it,
I wanna destroy the passersby

'Cause I wanna be.....anarchy!
(no dog's body!)

Anarchy for the U.K,
is coming sometime,
and maybe,
I'll give the wrong time,
stop a traffic line,
your future's gleam
is a shopping scheme

'Cause I,
I wanna be,
Anarchy!
(In the city!)

Many ways to get what you want,
I use the best, I use the rest,
I use the enemy,
I use ANARCHY!

and I,
I wanna be,
Anarchy!
(The only way to be!)

Is this the MPLA?
or is this the UDA?
or is this the IRA?
I thought it was the U.K.
or just another country...
(another council tennancy)

and I,
I wanna be,
Anarchy!

(know what I mean)

and I,
I wanna be,
Anarchist
Get pissed
DESTROY!

(do I need to say what this is?)

...And Creed only makes me think how much I liked Pearl Jam and hate Christian rock...sorry.



I am having a nervous breakdance
Las Ketchup's "The Ketchup Song" makes me think... about murder.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
