Dedicate a song to a Mofo here.


Tacitus, here's a song that helps perk me up when I feel God is laughing at me:

Round and Round
music and lyrics by Bob Schneider

When your head falls off your neck
And hits the ground with a smack
And you're back on the wrong track
Where' your at when you lost you're head
Get out of bed that's what I said
And you're feeling like the dead seeing red*
Reborn where's my porn
My pants are torn up damnit where's the wine
Put my body in a pine box baby
Bustin' clocks changin' my locks
I know the time it's time to get up
And get out and get over this
But I don't know how and I don't know why

And the world goes round
And the world goes around
And the world goes round & round

When your bets been beat* and they turn up the heat
And you feel a little weak and you can hardly speak
And the coconuts come to your house with a bomb
And blow up the cake you got from your mom
And your diapers aren't dry and the neighbors all die
And you feel a little high a little higher than the big blue sky
And you wring your hands and the blood pours out
And the blood pours out

The world goes round
And the world goes around
And the world goes round & round

When your friends evaporate and you can't catch a break
And you're tied to the stake and everything you hate
Comes crashing down on your big round
Golen greazy crown and you can't make a sound
And you feel like your drowning and you stumble through the dark
And the dogs start to bark and you're fired on a lark
And your skin starts to spark and you're burning up inside
And your dentures start to slide

The world goes round
And the world goes around
And the world goes round & round

Okay, Miss C. I’ll dedicate one to my ex-wife…

Tourniquet – 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 always 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



Sir Sean Connery's love-child

For Slay... from the one and only ELO.

Hush little baby, dont you cry
Oh-oh, dont you cry
Maybe tomorrows, a better life
Oh-oh, if you try

Rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
But if you lose your mind
Weatherman, in his overcoat

Look up in the sky now, the weatherman cry now
Oh-oh, the window pane
Damp in the valley, up in the alley
Oh-oh, its pouring rain

Rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
So let your mind roll on
Weatherman, drys the lonely tears

Early in the morning, while the suns still yawning
Oh-oh, smiles on you
Maybe today is, a better life
Oh-oh, if we try

Sun is shining all around
It warms your heart and melts the cloud
But if your mind can see
Weatherman, smiles a lonely smile



I dedicate this song to Eyes.

Can't Repeat-Offspring

I woke the other day
And saw my world has changed
The past is over but tomorrow‘s wishful thinking
I can‘t hold onto what‘s been done
I can‘t grab onto what‘s to come
And I‘m just wishing I could stop, but

Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can‘t repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We‘re all just wishing we could stop, but

Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe your eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we‘ve made
And sets another stage
And I‘m just wishing we could stop

Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

Time rolls on

Cool lyrics, Eq!

Here's one for Annie:
I'll Be There For You
by The Rembrandts

So no one told you life was gonna be this way. [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,

I'll be there for you!
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you!
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight,
You've burned your breakfast so far, things are going great,
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these,
But she didn't tell when the world has brought you down to your knees.



I got for good luck my black tooth.
for 7thSon

"Don't Let it Bring You Down" - Neil Young

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Awww thanks Cinders, I missed this thread.

Here's one for you -

Johnny Mathis' Feet - American Music Club

I lay all my songs at johnny mathis’ feet
I said, johnny tell me
Can you tell me how to live?
All my hopes are unraveling and I just lost my lease
On my house without love, doors, or windows
Without peace.

And with a wave of his jewel-encrusted hand
Across the glittering las vegas scene he said,
You gotta learn how to disappear in the silk and amphetamine.

Johnny looked at my songs and he said,
Well at first guess, never in my life
Have I ever seen such a mess.
Why do you say everything as if you were a thief?
Like what you’ve stolen has no value
Like what you preach is far from belief?

And with a wave of his red white and blue hand
Across the glittering hollywood scene he said,
You gotta learn how to disappear in the silk and amphetamine.

Johnny looked at my old collection of punk rock posters
Anonymous scenes of disaffection choas and torture
And he said, you were on the right track
But you’re a lamb jumping for the knife.
He said, a real showman knows how
To disappear in the spotlight.


And one for the people of London -

Lullaby Of London - The Pogues

As I walked down by the riverside
One evening in the spring
Heard a long gone song
From days gone by
Blown in on the great North wind
Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry
Or sorrow and delight
You can hear the cars
And the shouts from bars
And the laughter and the fights

May the ghosts that howled
Round the house at night
Never keep you from your sleep
May they all sleep tight
Down in hell tonight
Or where ever they may be

As I walked on with a heavy heart
Then a stone danced on the tide
And the song went on
Though the lights were gone
And the North wind gently sighed
And an evening breeze coming from the East
That kissed the riverside
So I pray now child that you sleep tonight
When you hear this lullaby

May the wind that blows from haunted graves
Never bring you misery
May the angels bright
Watch you tonight
And keep you while you sleep

Oh, the temptation to dedicate 'It's Raining Men' to you, Jason...so predictable, but I know I'd end up laughing for 5 minutes straight afterwards.

for Sexy~
Celebrity
'N SYNC

If I wasn't a celebrity
Would you be so nice to me?
If I didn't have G's like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me?
If I wasn't a celebrity

(Lately)
Ive been doing a little thinking
'Bout the things
That satisfy you
It's making me wonder
'Bout the things that
You see in me
I hate the way
You like to say your
Man's a celebrity
Baby what's the deal?
I thought you wanted me for me

You gotta say what you mean
You gotta mean what you say
Cause you keep pushing me away
'Cause I ain't got
No time to play
So I say

If I wasn't a celebrity
Would you be so nice to me?
If I didn't have G's like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
Baby, if I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me?
If I wasn't a celebrity

Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity

I'm glad you're having a good time
Living the life that
I laid out for me
Constantly splurging
Spending my money
On everything you see
It would be different
If you had something,
Maybe like a
J-O-B
You need to
Get your thing together, yeah

You gotta stop running games
It ain't about my fame
Cause you know if things weren't this way
You'd be gone a long time ago, so I say

If I wasn't a celebrity
Would you be so nice to me?
If I didn't have G's like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me?
If I wasn't a celebrity

If you really loved me
You'd try and show me
That it ain't even about my name
But you tried to use me
And lied to fool me
So it can never be the same
So now, I'm, leaving you behind
I've found somebody
Who can love me for me
And that's all I need, yeah, oh

Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity

If I wasn't a celebrity
Would you be so nice to me?
If I didn't have G's like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me?
If I wasn't a celebrity

If I wasn't a celebrity
Would you be so nice to me?
If I didn't have G's like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me?
If I wasn't a celebrity



Thanks, SammyD. I can't remember what that song sounds like, though.



Put me in your pocket...

Lean On Me
by: Bill Withers

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you WON’T let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

you just call on me sister, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that YOU’LL understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For ,it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

YA just call on me sister, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that YOU’LL understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
call me (if you need a friend)
call me (call me)
call me (if you need a friend)
call me (if you ever need a friend)
call me (call me)
call me (call me)
call me (call me)
call me (call me)
call me (if you need A friend)
call me (call me)
call me (call me)
call me (call me)
call me (call me)
call me (call me)



........
(of course I had to replace brother with sister...only fitting. )



Combat Baby - Metric

To someone, if you ever read this


we used to leave the blue lights on
and there was a beat
ever since you have been gone it’s all caffeine-free
faux punk fatigues
said it all before
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
get no harm done no
none of them want to fight me

combat baby come back baby
fight off the lethargy
don’t go quietly
combat baby
said you would never give up easy
combat baby come back

get back in town I wanna paint it black
wanna get around
easy living crowd so flat
said it all before
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong but
No one here wants to fight me like you do


combat baby come back baby
fight off the lethargy
don’t go quietly
combat baby
said you would never give up easy
combat baby come back

I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child
Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me

Do doo doo doo

combat baby come back baby
combat baby come back
bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye baby
combat baby come back

how I miss your ranting
do you miss my all time lows



A system of cells interlinked
For Chris:


Yoda
(sung to Lola:The Kinks)
Weird Al Yankovic


I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
Though with my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

for Blibby:

Babushka
by Kate Bush

She wanted to test her husband.
She knew exactly what to do:
A pseudonym to fool him.
She couldn't have made a worse move.

She sent him scented letters,
And he received them with a strange delight.
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears,
And how she was before the years flew by,
And how she was when she was beautiful.
She signed the letter

"All yours,
Babushka, Babushka, Babushka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babushka, Babushka, Babushka-ya-ya!"

She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go,
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito.
And when he laid eyes on her,
He got the feeling they had met before.
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady,
Capacity to give him all he needs,
Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
He shouted out, "I'm

All yours,
Babushka, Babushka, Babushka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babushka, Babushka, Babushka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babouhka, Babushka, Babushka-ya-ya!"
