I reached inside my-self to find
Nothing there to ease the
Presh-shar of my ever worrying mind

Oh ohhh ohh oh!

All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely
Looks the mirror's sending me these days

THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW,
IT WANTS TO BE SOOTHED
AND TOLD IT DOESN'T HAVE TO THINK
OR SACRIFICE OR LEARN.
NO ONE IS OVER THE HILL
WHEN THE MOUNTAIN COMES TO MOHAMMED.

LARD!

LARD!

LARD!

WE LOVE TO EAT.
WE LOVE TO PRAY.
MOLD OVER MIND!
HOORAY!

"There's a man sat on the Tube
With a lunchbox on his knees
And he opens up the lid
And the box is full of bees
And all the bees fly out
(and there's a line I can't recall)
As the passengers shout
In surprise and fear
WHAT ARE ALL THESE BEES DOING HERE?"

Watching the Mad, Old Street Musical Union

Genius.

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood.

(tranliteration)
февраль достать чернил и плакать
писать о феврале навзрыд
пока грохочущая слякоть
весною чёрною горит

(phonetic)
Fevral'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!
Pisat' o fevrale navzryd,
Poka grohochuschaya slyakot'
Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.

(translation)
February. Get ink, shed tears.
Write of it, sob your heart out, sing,
While torrential slush that roars
Burns in the blackness of the spring.

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

I, oh, must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

I, oh, must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing

I'm feeling thankful
for the small things, today

I remember you
I crashed your wedding
With some, orange crepe paper
and some Halloween candy

Sometimes
I wish I were Catholic
I don't know why
I guess I'm happy to see your face
at a time like this

Happy, Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me

Well don't you ever be sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt
In a river of trouble, about to drown

Hold on, I'm coming
Hold on, I'm coming

I'm on my way, your lover
When you get cold, yeah, I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry because I'm here
Don't need to suffer because I'm here

Hold on, I'm coming
Hold on, I'm coming

Reach out to me for satisfaction
Call my name, quick reaction

Well don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt,
In a river of trouble and about to drown

Hold on, I'm coming
Hold on, I'm coming

What a diff'rence a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day makes
And the difference is you

What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day makes
And the difference is you.

what we once thought we had, we didn’t
& what we have now will never be that way again
so WE CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

our myxomatoid kids spraddle the streets
we’ve shunned them from the greasy-grind
the poor little things they look so sad & old as they mount us from behind
I ask them to DESIST & to REFRAIN!
then WE CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

well, rosary clutched in his hand
he died with tubes up his nose
& a cabal of angels with finger cymbals
chanted his name in code
we shook our fists at the punishing rain
and WE CALLED UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

he said, "everything is messed up round here
everything is BANAL & JEJUNE
there’s a planetary conspiracy against the likes of you & me
in this idiot constituency of the moon"
well, he knew exactly who to blame!
& WE CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

I said, PROLIX! PROLIX! NOTHING A PAIR OF SCISSORS CAN'T FIX!!

well, I go guruing down the street
& young people gather round my feet
& they ask me things – but I don’t know where to start
they ignite the powder-trail straight to my father’s heart
& yeah, once again
I CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

who is this great burdensome slavering dog-thing that mediocres my every thought?
I feel like a vacuum cleaner – a complete sucker!
it’s fucked up & he is a fucker
but what an enormous & encyclopaedic brain!
I CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

rampant discrimination, mass poverty, third world debt
infectious disease, global inequality & deepening socio-economic divisions
well, it does in your brain
WE CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

now hang on
my friend Doug is tapping on the window!
hey Doug, how you been? (hey Doug!)
well, he brings me a book on holocaust poetry – complete with pictures
& then he tells me to get ready for the rain
& WE CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

yeah, PROLIX! PROLIX! NOTHING A PAIR OF SCISSORS CAN'T FIX!!!!!!

Bukowski was a jerk!
Berryman was best!
he wrote like wet paper maché
but he went the Hemming-way
weirdly on wings & with maximum pain
WE CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

down in my bolthole I see they’ve published
another volume of unreconstructed rubbish
"the waves, the waves were like soldiers moving"
well, thank you – thank you!
thank you & again!!
I CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!!!
(doop doop doop doop doop doop)

PROLIX!!! PROLIX!!! NOTHING A PAIR OF SCISSORS CAN'T FIX!!!!!!!!!

where is that letter?
are you wearing that number?
it's special vision
i've corroded that jumper

don't know what you're thinkin'
out in that field
my tongue is tied
the branches outdo the insects
now i never
can scale your electric fence

happy as a horse
stupid as a mule
fast as a hare
but i'm scared like a rabbit

won't you join me in the dirt?
the dogs are out playin'
but i'm sure they won't bite
don't drink from the river
it's flowing quite fastly

happy as a horse
stupid as a mule
if you get carried away
don't say i didn't warn you

A crime that leaves a heated greed

Machine, Machine
I waste it for you

And I walk
And I walk
A space left for two
And I wait
And I wait
To wake next to you
And I walk
And I walk
A space left for two
And I wait
And I wait
To wake next to you

Oh Machine, Machine
I waste it for you
Machine, Machine
I waste it for you
HAH!

Oh Machine, Machine
I washed it for you

Isn't so easy where you're from

Oh you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long

I don't want you to change
Anything you do

I don't want you to be
Something else for me

Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun

Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun

I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me

Stay as you are
The Darkest Star
Shining for me
Majestically

You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take
You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time
It's the easiest line you could break
She's been going about her business as usual
Always with that melancholy smile
But you were too busy looking into your affairs
To see those tiny tears in her eyes

Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me

How can you hurt someone so much, your supposed to care for
Someone you swore you'd always be there for
But when that water breaks you know you're gonna cry, cry, cry
When those tears start rolling you'll be back

Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me

You've been thinking about the time, you've been dreading it
But now it seems that moment has arrived
She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in
But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight

Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me

I'm gonna waste the rest of my days
Just watching patiently from the window
Just waiting, seasons change, some day, oh oh,
My dreams will pull you through that garden gate

I want to be the wandering sailor
We're silhouettes by the light of the moon
I sit playing solitaire by the window
Just waiting, seasons change, ah hah, you'll see
Some day these dreams will pull you through my door

And I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe
I'll come running to tie your shoe

Oh, oh oh-oh-oho-oho-oho-oho-oho-o-o-o
Oh, oh oh-oh-oho-oho-oho-oho-oho-o-o-o

I defy you to listen to this song and not have it stuck in your head the rest of the day:
Plus Rien - Les Cowboys Fringants

It's by a Quebec group and the lyrics(My translation) are as follows:

There are only a few minutes left in my life,
At most a few hours; I feel I’m weakening.
My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert.
I am now the last human on earth.

I formally decreed, when I was a child,
That the earth would last a long, long while,
When my great grand father was still alive,
And it still snowed in the winter.

In the times when we still followed the seasons,
And there was a harvest at the end of summer,
And pure, fresh water flowed in the streams,
Where the deer and moose went to drink.

But now I see only a desolate planet:
Lunar landscape and suffocating heat
And all my friends have died of thirst or from hunger;
Fallen like flies,
Until there were no more.
No more.
No more.

There are only a few minutes left in my life,
At most a few hours; I feel I’m weakening.
My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert.
I am now the last human on earth.

All of this started many years ago,
When my ancestors became obscured
By bits of paper we call “money”
Which made certain men really rich and powerful.

And these new gods never backed down from anything:
Ready to do anything to make their ends;
To become richer they razed the earth,
Polluted the air and clogged the rivers.

But after 100 years there were people who rose up
And warned that all of this must stop.
But they didn’t understand this wise prophesy:
Those other men only spoke in terms of profit.

It was only years later that they realized their folly,
And in a panic they declared a state of emergency.
When the oceans swallowed the islands
And floods hit the major cities.

And after all this had happened for a decade
There were hurricanes and fires
Earthquakes and a great drought.
Above all we saw the fear on peoples faces.

The people tried to fight off the pandemics;
Millions dying from atrocious diseases.
And all the others dying of thirst or by hunger
Falling like flies
Until there were no more
No more.
No more.

My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert.
I am now the last human on earth.
At the bottom of the gift of intelligence that was given to us
Was nothing but a nice poisoned surprise.

Because there are only a few minutes left in my life,
At most a few hours; I feel I’m weakening.
I can no longer walk, it hurts to breathe
Goodbye Humanity
Goodbye Humanity

I listened to that song and have already forgotten it.

10, 20, 30, 40
tell me that you wanna hold me
tell me that you wanna bore me
tell me that you gotta show me
tell me that you need to slowly
tell me that yr burning for me
tell me that you can't afford me
time to tell yr dirty story
time fr turning over and over
time fr turning four leaf clover

betting on the bull in the heather

10, 20, 30, 40
tell me that you wanna scold me
tell me that you a-dore me
tell me that you're famous for me
tell me that yr gonna score me
tell me that you gotta show me
tell me that you need to sorely
time to tell yr love story
time fr turning over and over
time fr turning four leaf clover

betting on the bull in the heather

because I think I am close to broken but he tries to redeem me and always does:

They hung a sign up in out town
if you live it up, you wont
Live it down
So, she left monte rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and monroe hips
She went and took that california trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said dont look back just
Come on jim
(chorus)
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
You gotta hold on

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You dont meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes theres nothin left to do

Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here, you got to
Just hold on.

Well, God bless your crooked little heart st. louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me

Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When theres nothing left to keep you here, when
Youre falling behind in this
Big blue world

Oh you go to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
You got to hold on

Down by the riverside motel,
Its 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But its so hard to dance that way
When its cold and theres no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head theres a record
Thats playing, a song called

Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
And just hold on.

Well I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
And she wants you to steal and get caught
For she loves you for all that you are not
When you're falling down, falling down
When you're falling down, falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses, don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you for standing so tall
Go on and take a swig of that poison and like it
And don't ask for silverware, don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear to the ground
You know you will be hearing that sound......falling down.
You're falling down, falling down
Falling down, Falling down, falling down

When you're falling down, falling down, falling down


Go on down and see that wrecking ball come swinging on along
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows, they took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
Now someone yell timber and take off your hat
It's a lot smaller down here on the ground
You're falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

Someone's falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

Also my sad weakening heart.

There must be something we can eat
Maybe find another lover
Should I fly to Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Dave's on sale again
We kissy kiss in the rear view
We're so bored
You're to blame


Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don't think so


Raindogs howl for the century
A million dollars a stake
As you search for your demi-god
And you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence


Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don't think so


I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is, Elvis is


There's no sex in your violence
