'Same Dress, New Day' - Tripping Daisy

take off your coat
your silver is tarnished
lady in darkness
the cat is old and still
keep all your makeup
packed on your head
invite all the demons
the truck stops in the bed

you can't rely on a stranger to love you
you can't rely on a friend who's dead
you can't deny all the people who love you
you can't deny when their love is dead
you know that you will love you still
you can't deny the love that you must.........

brush off your anger
go fix your hair
tell all the people
the brain is always dead

the sky is the limit
when the ocean is hiding
keep all your secrets
locked inside

you can't rely on a stranger to love you
you can't rely on a friend who's dead
you can't deny all the people who love you
you can't deny when their love is dead
you know that you will love you still
you can't deny the love that you must feel

Hey, little girl
I wanna be your boyfriend
Sweet little girl

What can I say?
Because I wanna be your boyfriend

and! i like this song quite a bit, tho' i can't stand any other songs by the band.
if yr in love, do yrself a favor and D/L it.
"sweet avenue" by jets to brazil

tasting you and rain I walk down to the train
try not to look down
this day could one day be an anniversary
everything is light and sound
facing forwards going slowly wait for you to show me
where this train wants to go
living by the hour I stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow
now all these tastes improve through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt right
thank you for making me see there's a life in me
it was dying to get out
holding you we make two spoons beneath an April moon
everything is soft and sweet
this cigarette it could seduce
a nation with its smoke
crawling down my tired throat
scratches part of me that's purring
softly stirring
I'm a captain of industry smoking famously
feet up on the windowsill
look at all these trees I feel affinity with
everything so soft and still
budding at my fingertips
touching you I start to bloom
alive with trains and passing ships
soft and sweet along your lips now
I go "oh wow"
thank you for taking me from my monastery
I was dying to get out
with tears of gratitude
I like my latitude
cross town train to you
now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life for the first time it felt worth it
like I deserved it

Well, here's a song that pumps me up from an album that I used to listen to quite regularly years and years ago, but shelved for a long time, and recently busted out again.

Built to stay the pace
Not lazy
Bleary eyed
A wide berth crazy
Taken easy
Lived the sleazy lifestyle
On the Jaws of a crocodile
Wired and fired up
To erode the 90's
Total overload excites me
Standing naked
Come to make it fall apart
For all the wild at heart
Party people
With hearty appetites
Sart at Z
'Cos we get up at night
Walk a tightwire
Breathing fire and thunder
Then we're dead &
Down under
Expressway
To a higher heaven
A long ride up
A quick slide down
Expressway
To a higher heaven
A slow slow fuck &
A slow slow suck
Psychedelic love flow freely
Hold in high esteem
Hold dearly
When you're near me
We'll positively gravitate
Just you wait you'll see
Born to live & love
Not to push & shove
Here to give hope &
Rise above
All the bullshit &
All the crap
'Cos we got it like that
Expressway
To a higher heaven
A long ride up
A quick slide down
Expressway
To a higher heaven
A slow slow fuck &
A slow slow suck
Slow
Slow
Slow
Slow
Slow
I got no questions
I got all answers
I give no reasons
I got no time
I live in splendour
I'll die in chaos
I'd love to stay but
I got no time
The real deal
Is a steal of quality
Sex & death &
Know no apologies
Free of ties &
Of all lies and disguise
I use a wise guy's eyes
When we've sown
The seeds
Of passion we'll
Explode in a most
Artistic fashion
First to explore
A kiss before dying
Now's the time for trying
The golden age of junk
Toys R us
Drunken joys
In Bacchus we trust
God of wine &
Divine giver of ecstasy
Read:
Sugar and strychnine
Surging forward
Urging persistence
To the pineapple
Of our existence
We satisfy and gratify
Our senses
'Fraid we're made
In the 60's
Born to live & love
Not to push & shove
Here to give hope &
Rise above
All the bullshit &
All the crap
'Cos we got it like that
Expressway
To a higher heaven
A long ride up
A quick slide down
Expressway
To a higher heaven
A slow slow fuck &
A slow slow suck
I got no questions
I got all answers
I give no reasons
I got no time
I live in splendour
I'll die in chaos
I'd love to stay but
I got no time

Nicholas, this one is for you, you fucker.

I will be your biggest fan
I will be your fool
I'll be the exception to whatever the rule
And I ain't the type to bitch
I ain't the type to cry
I'll just sit at your red light and wait for your shit to go by

I've been through and through this
I know just how it goes
You'll have no idea
You'll have no need to know
Cuz I will make your body
Grow wings and take flight
I will erase sound
I will erase light

And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression
The meaning of which I will leave to your discretion

My distraction's my defence against this lack of inspiration
Against this slow leak deflation

The further the horizon
The more it holds my gaze
And the foregrounds out of focus
But you know I kinda hope its just a phase.

Oh yeah - how about this too.

I remember my name
in your mouth

And I don't think I was done
hearing it close to my ear
on a whispers way to a moan.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
00:43 / 30.05.03
Here comes
Your bedtime story
Mum
And Dad
Have sentenced you to life
Don't think twice:
It's the only reason I'm alive
I feel alright
As long as I don't forget to breathe
Breathe in breathe in breathe out

Look at all these buildings and houses
I love my life
I love my life

Hey now
Slow down a minute
Take my arms
And fill them full of life
Don't think twice
Does it ease the pain of being alive?
Or is it why
Why you keep nodding out on me?
Breathe in breathe in breathe out

Another day, another major disaster
I love my life
I love my life

You got a problem
I lost my keys when I stayed at your place
On the floor of your living room
Well, you made the scene
But it'll never get shown on TV
So tonight
Prepare to kiss goodbye to my lovelife...

Now get this right
I love my life
It's the only reason I'm alive
It's mine, all mine
As long I don't forget to breathe
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe out

Corny, I know, but you had better believe it


I love my life
I love my life
I love my life
God, how I love my life!

Alright
Alright
That's right
You gotta fight to the death till they give you back your life

Alright
Alright
I'm gonna fight to death till they give me back my life!

Alright
Alright
I'm gonna fight to death till they give me back my life!

Alright
Alright
You're in the land of the living but there's so few signs of life!

Alright
Alright
Alright!

breathe out breathe in breathe out breathe in...
-Pulp "I Love Life". And dang, but I do.

Some things in life are bad
they can really make you mad
while other things just make you swear and curse

when you're chewing on life's gristle
Daan't grumble, give a whistle
and this'tle help things turn out for the bessst...

...and, Always look on the Bright side of life
doodo doodo doododoodo [don't know how to represent the whistle on line]
allllwyas look on the bright side of Life
etc....
...
..


Life's a piece of shit
when you look at it

Life's a laugh and deaths a joke it's true

you'll see it's all a show, keep em laughing as you go
just remember that the last laugh is on you, and
(all together now)

another sexual conquest,
move right along
get on the train, boy -
humming the song
electric currents,
it doesn't work
you asked for something,
we'll give you nothing
no information for you

astral projection,
such a strange obsession
for a non-guru type in a room
with no standing wave
how many, many maybe?
when the words are sequenced in sentences
it doesn't matter, of course
when the lines don't make no sense,
oh why does it make sense?

oh come on, baby
be good to me

oh come on, baby
be good to me

oh come on, baby
be good to me

oh come on, baby
be good to me!

oh come on, baby
be good to me

I believe
I believe
I believe

I believe the love you talk about with me
is it true, do I care
honestly, you can try to wipe the memories aside
but it's you that you erase

'cause there's no place that I could be without you
it's too far to discard the life I once knew
honestly, all the weather storms are bringing
are just a picture of my dreams
'cause when I think of you as mine
and allow myself with time
to lead into the life we want
I feel loved, honestly
I feel loved, this honestly

I believe you mean the best that life can bring
I believe in it all
honestly, you can try
your heart is just as long as mine
is it ours to let go

'cause there's no place that I could be without you
it's too dark to discard the life I once knew
honestly, a single wrong is not enough
to cover up the pain in us
'cause when I think of you as mine
and allow myself with time
to lead into the life we want
I feel loved, honestly
I'll make a joke so you must laugh
I'll break your heart so you must ask
is this the way to get us back
I don't know, honestly
I don't know, this honestly

there's no place that I could be without you
honestly

there's no place that I could be without you
there's no place that I could gleam without you
there's no place that I could dream without you
there's no place that I could be without you
honestly

I got a song in my mind, I been singin' it all day
I'm gonna teach it you tonight, come on and answer when I say:
Heyyyyy! (Heyyyyy!)
When you hear me start screamin', listen I ain't gonna quit
Gonna show you different sizes that I guarantee will fit
When you feel a warm vibration, look out baby this is it
Hey, hey, heyyyyyyyyyyy!

ONLY NICE THINGS
12:39 / 12.06.03
Been looking for a vision in my mind or television
For a little special thing to make my soul go ping,
Tired of being told to stand up and be bold,
I crawl out of the slimne,
I'll do it in my own time.

In the future, I'll put you on hold,
I'll cause you to blow a
State of emergency.
Come back down,
A telephone smackdown
Is making a crackdown
on your identity
...

Into the unknown we catapult you (Freeze!)
Fortune to the wind like a Boy Named Sue (Shoot the breeze!)
The games we play (I seen heads - I seen brain deads)
The things we say, (Sucking air - through straws)
That bring on the sound of the new Wrecking Crew (There should be laws - no flaws)

The Chosen Few, Olympic Lifts.

I think I just found the theme tune to my PGP...

Her apron strings are trailing out like sparks
Her comet tail is whipping
slicing up the dark.
I'm her twin
I live in the other half
I'm tearing at the seam but it never comes apart.

And we've a chain to keep alive
And its all this noise that makes us thrive
I try to trap her in my head
But she knows where the light comes in
And those rays live to make her spin.

And she's wound up
Shooting off
Burning out
Tearing up the midnight heart
Whoa-o-whoa-o-whoa (love that bit)
Stayed alive
Stayed alive so far
It's alright
We know what we are
Absolutely Barking Stars.

The bitch is quick, I've tried to trip her up
But she is full of tricks and blends so sticky in my blood.
And she can fly
And I can only run from everything and after her.
I'm wired and tired and full of holes
And she plays Pandora with my soul.
I'll never let her go
Its so quiet here without her
I don't wanna feel myself.

And she's wound up
Shooting off
Burning out
Tearing up the midnight heart
Whoa-o-whoa-o-whoa
Stayed alive
Stayed alive so far
It's alright
We know what we are


Maria McKee - shes barking.

Action - Saint Etienne

Drift along
Drift along
Gonna find them
Drift along
Gonna find them
Drift along

Need to make is special
Need to make it new
Looking for the action
Something more to do
Underneath the pavement
Towers in the clouds
Gotta find the action
Need it soon
Right now

Drift along

Cause I've been searching for all the people
I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answers
Let's get the feeling again

Back in sweet suburbia
Middle of the road
Looking for the action
Everywhere I go
Need to make it special
Need to make it new
Looking for the action
Something more to do

Drift along

Cause I've been searching for all the people
I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answers
Let's get the feeling again

I wish you would
I wish you would

Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there?
Do you wish it was me?
With the windows clear
And the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine?

You know you could
I wish you would

Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometime

I wish I could (2x)

~"come pick me up," ryan adams (who i don't even like)

I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars

I'd like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I'd give this world
just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars

- California Stars, Woody Guthrie/Billy Bragg/Wilco

I'm in a new place now
They don't know me next door
I wonder where your footsteps fall.

Every night about this time
Does he take her in his arms
There'll be Django playing as they waltz across the floor.

And the loneliest sound of all
Is the sound of love
Through a strangers wall.

And when their laughter fades
And there are no more words
The silence breaks me most of all.


Chokes me up every time. Boo Hewerdine is a poet.

now, it's easy when you don't know better
you think it's sleazy?
then put it in a short letter
we keep warm
but there's just something wrong with you
just feel like you're the hardest little button to button
I had opinions that didn't matter
I had a brain that felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard with nothing in it
it's just a stick, a dog, and a box with something in it
the hardest button to button
the hardest button to button
the hardest button to button
the hardest button to button...
 
 
Persephone
12:12 / 20.06.03
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be movin' on

Like a king without a castle,
Like a queen without a throne,
I'm an early mornin' lover
And I must be movin' on.

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
Just to keep me in my youth.

Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my brains.

And I will go on shining
Shinin' like brand new.
I'll never look behind me,
My troubles will be few.

CHORUS
Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true.

Goodbye, Mary. Goodbye, Jane.
Will we ever meet again ?
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame,
Come tomorrow, feel no pain.

And sweet devotion, it's not for me
Just give me motion and set me free.
And the land and the ocean far away
Is the life I've chosen everyday.

VERSE
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well

You can laugh at my behaviour
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my saviour
But I won't pay no heed.

I stole a page from your book
and a line from your page,
and flew into a lesbian rage.

Cursing mine and my own rotten luck,
another nude descends a staircase
to get fucked.

A city scene, darkness falls,
now skate hard down the gallery walls.
Explore those themes,
I hear your work's informed by queens,
hey, so is mine now.

There's a plague on,
there's a rat-tailed ensemble burying all of our hits in the sand,
the same sand a desert uses.

Now wipe that look from your face,
the world is that which is the case.
It's okay to be seen,
don't dethrone the drama queen,
just for putting everybody in their place.

Go, don't stay, just throw it all away.
There is you and then there is your body.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
04:00 / 23.06.03
I can't actually make out most of the lyrics, but my current Best Song Ever is "Oysters" by Six Ft Hick.

It begins:

Unh!
Well, it’s a dozen oysters later
And I’m climbin’ the walls
I got a barrel fulla sex
So let’s go over the falls...

and has a chorus like so:
Aw girl, you know the way you dance
You put a little rocket-fuel in my tank
The countdown's started... 3, 2, 1
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon... stimulation!

Actually, the main point of this song is two Queenslander brothers going "unh! Ah!" over the top of the sleaziest rockabilly beat you've ever heard. It's genius. And a little more classy than "Calling All Sinners' "Burnin', burnin', burnin' - like the Whiskey Au Go Go!"

Rock.

Two-fisted devil's horns, baby!

Who's gonna teach you how to dance?
Who's gonna show you how to fly?
Who's gonna call you on the lame-dope-smoking,
Slackin' little sucker you are?

Who's gonna get you from behind?
Who's gonna ring your little bell?
Who's gonna con you into buying a television set revolution they sell?

When are you gonna blow the game?
When are you gonna blow the screen?
When will you tell them that the crap doesn't last
And you found a way to make your own dreams

The crap doesn't last and you found a way to make yourself scream

Well I died a million times
And I picked my culture well
And I built myself a gate
They can all now go to hell

I'm never gonna work another day in my life
The gods told me to relax
They said I'm gonna be fixed up right
I'm never gonna work another day in my life
I'm way too busy powertripping
But I'm gonna shed you some light

Get down!

Who's gonna teach you how to dance?
Who's gonna show you how to fly?
When you get tired of the crap baby move over here and maybe buy some of mine

I'm never gonna work another day in my life
The gods told me to relax
They said I'm gonna be fixed up right
I'm never gonna work another day in my life
I'm way too busy powertripping
But I'm gonna shed you some light

I'm never gonna work another day in my life
The gods told me to relax
They said I'm gonna be fixed up right
I'm never gonna work another day in my life
I'm way too busy powertripping
But I'm gonna shed you some light

Yes!
It's so crazy right now!
Most incredibly, it's ya girl, B!
It's ya boy, Young!

You ready?
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no

Yeah, history in the making: part 2!
It's so crazy right now...

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two or three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
'Cuz I know I don't understand
Just how your love is doing what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no

When I talk to my friends so quietly:
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
If you ain't there ain't nobody else to impress
The way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat my heart skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love is doing what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

I'm looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love...

Young Hov', y'all know when the flow is loco
Young B and the R-O-C - uh-oh!
Ol' G, big homie, the one and only,
Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony
Soprano, the ROC handle like Van Axel
I shake phoneys man, you can't get next to
The genuine article, I do not sing though
I sling dough, if anything I do bling, yo
Star like Ringo, raw like a Green beret
You crazy, bring your whole set
Jay-Z in the range, crazy and deranged
They can't figure out, they like "hey, is he insane?"
Yes sir, I'm cut from a different cloth
My texture, is the best fur, chincilla
I been iller than chain-smokers,
How you think I got the name Hova?
I been realer, the game's over
Fall back young, ever since I made the change over to platinum,
The game's been a rap one.

Got me looking
So crazy, my baby
I'm not myself lately
I'm foolish, I don't do this,
I've been playing myself, baby I don't care
'Cuz your love's got the best of me,
And baby you're making a fool of me,
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees,
'Cuz baby you got me, you got me, so crazy baby
HEY!

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

we're gonna kill
the California girls
we're gonna fire the exploding load
in the milk made maiden head
we're gonna find the meaning of feeling good
and we're gonna stay there
as long as we think we should

I'm just a hat and feet
That's all that's left of me
A spot on the sidewalk
A mark on the street
I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet

You dropped a bomb on me
I didn't even see
Like a falling piano
From out of a window
Now I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet

I'm just a sitting duck
That ran out of luck
I'm the unhappy guy
That didn't look up high
I started running when I saw it coming
It got faster and louder til I took a powder

Now I'm just a hat and feet
That's what become of me
Flat on the sidewalk
Stuck to the street
I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet

Jesus is gonna save me,
From Tony Blair,
He's gonna save me,
From pubic hair,
He's gonna save me,
From gay Moustaches,
He's gonna save me,
From the working classes.

Tori Amos - Not The Red Baron

Not the Red Baron
Not Charlie Brown
Think I got the message figured
Another pilot down
And are their devils with halos
In beautiful capes
Taking them into the flames

Not Judy G
Not Jean Jean with a hallowed
Heart
I see that screen go
Down in the flames
With every step with every beautiful heel
Pointed

Not the Red Baron I'm sure
Not Charlie's wonderful dog
Not anyone I really know
Just another pilot down
Maybe I'll just sing him a last
Little sound many there know some girls
With red ribbons
The prettiest
Red
Ribbons

You're a part time lover
And a full time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

I kiss you on the brain
In the shadow of the train
I kiss you all starry-eyed
My body swings from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

Pebbles forgive me
The trees forgive me
So why can't you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

I will find my niche (Nietzsche?) in your car
With my mp3, DVD, rumble-pack, guitar
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

do do do-do do do-do do do do

Up up down down right left right left B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

We both have shiny, happy, fits of rage:
You want more fans,
I want more stage.
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

Don Quixote was a steel-driving man,
My name is Adam
I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

You squinched up your face and did a little dance
Shook a little turd out of the bottom of you pants
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you...

do do do-do do do-do do do do

But you...

What’s pleasing to the eye. In the delusion of my sight. Is not what I find when I reach into the light. I have lost my mind. I’m walking through time. Deluded as the next guy. Pretending and hoping to find. That distant peace of mind. I don'’ know. Who does know? There is no. Where to go. It'’ not so simple as I try to wish. But then again what is? There is no other worthy quest. So on I go. I don’t know. Who does know? There is no. Where to go. I don’t know. Who does know? There is no. Where to go. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Intergalactic planetary. Planetary intergalactic. Another dimension. Don’t you tell me to smile. You stick around I’ll make it worth your while. Got numbers beyond what you can dial. Maybe it’s because I’m so versatile. Style profile I said it always brings me back when I hear Ooh Child from the Hudson River out to the Nile. I run the marathon to the very last mile. If you battle me I will revile. People always say my style is wild. You’ve got gall you’ve got guile. To step to me I’m a rapophile. If you want to battle you’re in denial. Coming from Uranus to check my style. Go ahead put my rhymes on trial. Cast you off into exile. Intergalactic planetary. Planetary intergalactic. Jazz and Awol that’s our team. Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene. When it comes to beats well I’m the fiend I like my sugar with coffee and cream. Got to keep it going keep it going full steam. Too sweet to be sour too nice to mean. On the tough guy style I’m not too keen. To try to change the world I will plot and scheme. Mario C like to keep it clean. Gonna shine like a sunbeam. Keep on rapping cause that’s my dream. Got an A from Mae Dee for sticking to themes. When it comes to envy y’all is green. Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine. Another dimension new galaxy. Intergalactic planetary. Planetary intergalactic. From the family tree of old school hip hop. Kick off your shoes and relax your socks. The rhymes will spread just like a pox. Cause the music is live like an electric shock. I am known to do the Wop. Also known for the Flintstone flop. Tammy D getting biz on the crop. Beastie Boys known to let the beat drop. When I wrote graffiti my name was Slop. If my rap’s soup my beats is stock. Step from the tables as I start to chop. I’m a lumber jack DJ Adrock. If you try to knock me you’ll get mocked. I’ll stir fry you in my wok. Your knees’ll start shaking and your fingers pop. Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock. Intergalactic planetary. Planetary intergalactic. Another dimension. Do it.

“I Don’t Know” and “Intergalactic” by the Beastie Boys.

Across the town on the other hill,
Your lights glow from a different world.
You always found a place to hide- nails and cross to lay beside;
With all the ghosts that we denied.
Now, in rippled arcs across the sky the great white birds of winter fly,
and the wheel turns, and people change- scattered ashes to the wind.
And there's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain...
A dry river in the blazing sun...

Your parched face and your calloused hands.
Behind us, lie the arid lands...
To say too much- well, it was not our way,
and in the end there wasn't much to say;
the scars are healed now anyway...
and there's no pain... a dry river in the blazing sun...

And Abraham rose, took his only son, and knife and tinder
in his hand, and setting out across the desert and up into
the scrubland hills, he bound the boy Isaac to the stone,
raised the blade and waited for the miracle.
But the wind blows silent across the dead and empty hills,
dead, like the god that never came;
like your face, the day that you turned away... no...

And there's no pain... a dry river in the blazing sun...



(New Model Army. Again.)

This little snippet of a polvo song I can’t remember the name of—and I wish I had the album it’s on—has been running through my head all day:

“Don’t be afraid to paint a picture of yourself.
You don’t need to make it look like anybody else.
In this life.
You can go insane.
In this life.
You can stay the same.”
