"People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'cause we are all made of stars."

Moby - "We Are All Made Of Stars"

how does it happen?
how does it happen?...

12:34 / 11.04.02

Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to, A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
and we can dance

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
and we can dance.

Francois!

Ah we can go when we want to the night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
and surprise 'em with the victory cry

I Say we can act if want to if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And i can act like an imbecile
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody takin' the chance
Safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance

Ssss-Aaaa-Ffff-Eeee-Tttt-Yyyy
Safety-Dance

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody's takin' the chance
Oh Well the safety dance
ah yes the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh yes the safety dance
Oh the safety dance yeah
Oh it's the safety dance
It's the safety dance
Well it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance

Elijah, Freelance Rabbi

13:19 / 11.04.02

It's getting dark... too soon... a threatening silence...
Surrounding me... a wind comes up from the islands...
Distance fades to stormy gray
Washed out from the deep of the ocean
Here I will stand to face your wrath...
While all the others are praying

Calm down my heart...don't beat so fast
Don't be afraid just once in a lifetime

No rain can wash away my tears
No wind can soothe my pain
You made me doubt, you made me fear
But now I'm not the same
You took my wife, my unborn son...
Torn into the deep of the ocean
I don't pretend that I love you
'Cause there is nothing left to loose

And when silence comes back to me
I find myself feeling lonely
Standing here the shores of destiny
I find myself feeling lonely
I had a life to give... many dreams to live...
Don't you know that you're losing so much this time
Beyond the waves... I will be free
While all the others are praying

Calm down my heart...

The love in you, it does not burn,
There is no lesson you can learn
And there are sounds you cannot hear,
And there are feelings you can't feel

Calm down my heart...don't beat so fast
Don't be afraid just once in a lifetime

I don't pretend that I love you
And this time I'm not scared of you

14:34 / 11.04.02

The temptation to read this thread straight through is competing with my wish to be productive at work today. But I'll come back to it - for now, a contribution (who knows the song? who loves the early 90s college rock?)

You can go out and destroy,
What's already spent.
You can blame on your hat,
The faults in your head.
The more you pass through my pores
The worse it gets.

At or in,
What place did you think
Your mind would fit?
When did you realize
That you couldn't follow this out
Through to the end.

Clearly this is your loss.
Clearly it's not my loss.
Clearly it's just bad luck.
Clearly it doesn't mean a thing.

Cause she's an indie rocker
And nothing's gonna stop her.
Her fashion fits.
Cause she's an indie rocker
And nothing's gonna stop her.
Plumbline says she's a bitch.

And that's a lot to reject
If that's the best you can do.
And that's a lot to accept
If that's the best you can do.
You've got a great collection of things
Cause that's the best you can do.

Clearly this is your loss.
Clearly it's not my, my loss.
Clearly it's just bad luck.
Clearly it doesn't mean a thing, mean a thing, mean a thing.

Archers of Loaf!

15:17 / 11.04.02

I knew it would be you who posted that, Flux. Somehow, I just knew.

There was a great tossup over whether the lyrics to "Plumb Line" or "Might" or "Wrong" were going up, but I had to go with this one. Today, anyway. That, or Trail of Dead lyrics, 'cause I keep finding more things to cackle at in their interview with Bitchpork today. I love a band that openly disses Tortoise.

15:58 / 11.04.02

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got somethin' deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Don't make me Hulk up...

I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry

tower to the skies
an academy of lies
and what goes up
surely must come down
and we felt the mighty blow-up
with the walls coming down
or something like that

most of us are quite pleased
with the same old song
and all of a sudden i'm relatively sane
with everything to lose and nothing to gain
or something like that

man of wisdom and man of compromise
man of weak flesh in an armored disguise
all fall down

"if it's right you can tell" echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
and we're finally here and shit yeah it's cool
and shouldn't it be - or something like that

how can I look through
their senseless sight
as much as I'd like to
all is not right
and it shows
all around you
under the tree
a seed coming closer
there is a sun
shaped in the mind
pick up
for god's sake
when we call you
back to the lake

how can I tell you
all that is wrong
the thing invites you
can't get along
with you now
and I tried to
there is a page
it's still unwritten
why you can't you find
time in yr schedule
to pick up
for god's sake
when we call you
back to the lake

oh pick up
for god's sake
when we call you
back to the lake

make no mistake
we will call you
back to the lake

Neil Morrissey's a nobhead.

23:27 / 18.04.02

ok, in all honesty this song has absolutely nothing to do with my life at the moment (apart from the bit about the beer) but i can't stop listening to it, and thus...

if there's anything you want
come on back cause it's all still here
i'll be in the back room drinking my half of the beer
and if you and me is so right
why's it the same thing every night

it's just a matter of time
it's almost measurable
imagination aint kind on us tonight

you're at your best when you've got the guns turned a hundred eighty degrees
and finding out if it all adds up right
we go through all the same lines or sell out to appease
but go to sleep in a bed of lies
i made my own more than once or twice

and now time is my time time is my own
and i feel so alive yet feel so alone
cause you know you're the one and that hasn't changed
since you were nineteen and still in school waiting on a light on the corner by sound exchange

(ps, flux, what was the second to most recent song you posted?)

00:05 / 19.04.02

I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down, I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
Forget myself, want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
I touch myself

You close your eyes and see me before you
Think you would die if I were to ignore you
A fool could see just how much you adore me
Get down on your knees and do anything for me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else

I'm the one, who makes you come runnin'
Gets you comin' all the time
When I'm around, you're always beggin'
I want to make you mine

I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down, I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
Forget myself, want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself

Second most recent song: "Echos Myron", GBV

02:40 / 19.04.02

this is really kind of addicting. this is my current repeater song...yeah, it's totally emo. that's how i like 'em.

take advantage of these times, you said
you let me down
it hasn't been the first time
as i'm falling in the pit of fire
my mind's made up
i'm never coming back here

how long would it take me
to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been traumatized
and i think i'm the only one still alive

is it just a coincidence
to see you by yourself with no direction?
now it's time to move on again
don't you know that things aren't getting better?

don't try and stop me
because I'm falling fast into this pit of fire which surrounds us all
in a blanket of fear that i've been wrapped in for years
don't try to stop me
you can't stop me

when the world caves in what are you going to do for me?
and how long would it take me
to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been traumatized
and i think i'm the only one
still alive...

Matthew Fluxington

14:19 / 22.04.02

we want to kill the California girls
we want to fire the exploding load of the milkmaid maiden-head
we want to find the meaning of feeling good
and we're going to stay there as long as we think we should
mystery train

14:35 / 22.04.02

She is inside there, behind the wall
Sexing a bottle of brandy... she will sex it all
Finger light like a lover should
Lips drawn tight as though she could
Suffer all those men with eyes that bleed inside their head
Who murder souls in every bed
She is asleep there, upon the floor
Troubled by visions of strangers that stand in her door
Holding flags of another land
Language she can't understand
All she wants for christmas is another glass of wine
My little darling Clementine

She is awake in another day
Hoping that everyone has gone away
Sunlight screams at the curtain drawn
6 A.M. and the day looks long
Will she make it in a world that suffocates its fools
And leaves a word not of its rules

There she is stumbling beside the lane
Dress is in tatters as though she's lost again
Worries not of the sideways eye
Muttering "you all can die"
"Please just let me climb the stairs and slip inside my room"
The darkness folding none too soon

She holds a letter tight in her hand
Above a candle sent from a man who promised
He would always live in the shadow of the greatest gift
From god above
Why did he then float away like embers from a fire
The letter burns and she retires.

She is inside there, behind the wall
Sexing a bottle of gin, now, she will take it all
Easier is the money for giving in like an aging whore
Watching her own body turn into a lump of clay
Than fighting for someone to stay

'Clementine' by Kelly Joe Phelps.

I hope that cheered you all up.

happy phantom - tori amos

And if I die today
I'll be the HAPPY Phantom
And I'll go chasin'
the nuns out in the yard
And I'll run naked
through the streets without my mask on
And I will never need
umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in
strawberry fields every day
And the atrocities of school
I can forgive
The HAPPY phantom
has no right to bitch

Oo who the time is getting closer
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we been

So if I die today
I'll be the HAPPY phantom
And I'll go wearin'
my NAUGHTIES like a jewel
They'll be my ticket
to the universal opera
There's Judy Garland
taking Buddha by the hand
And then these seven little men
get up to dance
they say Confucius
does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angel
to a girl who hates to SIN

Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been

Or will I see you dear
and wish I could come back
You found a girl
that you could TRULY love again
Will you still call for me
when she falls asleep
Or do we soon forget the things
we cannot see

Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been

And if I die today
And if I die today
And if I die today
Chasin' the nuns out in the yard

Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
She could do your laundry 'n' cook for you
Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
You're really kinda stupid 'n' ugly too

(verse repeats)

You ain't really made for bein' out in the street
Ain't much hope for a fool like you
'Cause if you play the game, you will get beat

Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
She could do your laundry 'n' cook for you
Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
You're really kinda stupid 'n' ugly too
And
You should never smoke in pajamas
You might start a fire 'n' burn yer face
Maybe you'll return to Managua
You could go unnoticed in such a place

Regrettable Juvenilia

15:45 / 23.04.02

it was the struggle of the century
and all the grown men came to see
the girl who could tame the tigers, yeah yeah
the heart of southern lovers
they found her under the sea
she said she came from cell block three!

the girl hit hard like a barricuda baby
she floated on air like the crest of a wave
she was a primal institution
she was a danger to herself

mad lovin by the cold-hearted
take a deep breath babe cos we just started

mystery girl

but my heart ain't dead cus it keeps on lovin

honest people never lie
true friends' hearts will not betray
those you love will always stay....

Matthew Fluxington

14:43 / 24.04.02

love has come to stay
and all the way
it's gonna last forever
and every day
it feels like a wish coming true
it feels like angels dreaming of you
it feels like heaven
forgiving and getting
it feels like we're fading and celebrating
you got a carnal spirit spraying
and I'm gonna laugh it up
you've got a kotton krown and I'm gonna keep it underground
yr gonna take control of the chemistry
yr gonna manifest the mystery
you've got a magic wheel in yr memory
I'm wasted in time and I'm looking everywhere
I don't care where
I don't care where
angels are dreaming of you
angels are dreaming of you

New York City is forever kitty
I'm wasted in time and yr never ready
fading, fading celebrating
I've got yr kotton krown...
I've got yr kotton krown...

15:03 / 24.04.02

Its 3 miles to the river,
That would carry me away,
And 2 miles to the dusty street,
That I saw you on Today,
Its 4 miles to my lonely room,
Where I will hide my face,
And about a half a mile to the downtown bar,
That I ran from in disgrace,
Lord how long do I have to keep on running,
Seven hours, Seven days or Seven years,
All I know is since youve been gone,
feels like Im drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
In 3 more days Ill leave this town,
and dissappear without a trace,
A year from now maybe settle down,
Where no one knows my face,
I wish that I could hold you,
One more time to ease the pain,
But my times run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again,
Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here,
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.

yeah, I take my baby down to the street and I buy him a soda-pop
he's so sweet

alright now, alright now, alright now
you said that

if you want I'll be the one
take you out and have some fun
I never never ever ever tell no one
till the end, till the morning comes

yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and
I buy him a soda-pop
hmm hmm

alright now, alright now, alright now

if you want I'll be the one
take you out and have some fun
flip a quarter for the toss
I'd like mine with apple-sauce

yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and
I buy him a soda-pop
`cause he's so neat, sweet

alright now, alright now, alright now
okay now

if you want I'll be the one
shake my legs and have some fun
my hearts spinnin' round like a washing machine
never saw the devil look so damn clean

yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and
I buy him a soda-pop
and he said: "honey, you look so fine"
and I said: okay, alright, okay, alright

I was walking up Lafayette street
it's real empty
and I looked out and it turned into a big field
and I looked up in the sky
and I looked up in the clouds
and I saw this face looking down at me
and it's a women's face
and she threw a quarter down at me and she said:
"honey, here's a quarter go put it in the washing machine"
and then I looked up at her,
I looked up

I hope that you still dream
cos lately when I wake up I don't feel anything

Bring it on...

I heard yr name the other day
it's been a long long time
ancient history, some would say
another state of mind
you smell of memory
felt-tipped electric child

she digs classic PiL
she plays the weatherman
she screams "religion kills
more than it saves you, man"
she's mean and Phil agrees,
she was the acid queen
she blames society
it was just a fever dream

now you live in the trees and salty seas
tripping out in the blue skies
you shut the door on everything
too busy getting high
REM means just another dream theory
lost inside your eyes

she's not real in history books
lost her mind and kept her looks
down beneath the radar screen
she's lit up like gasoline
been through a million kicks
flipping for the one that sticks
never would have known it then
I might not see her again

top hat and tails for thrills
red lips and famous hands
sidelined and dancing still
in tiny dancer land
we kissed
time slipped
hard-edged
tight lipped
see you
summertime
ask
me
if
I
care

I met Ferdinand de Soussure on a night like this
on love he said "On love, I'm not even sure I know what it is.
no understanding, no closure. It is a nemesis.
You can't use a bulldozer to study orchids" he said,

"So, we don't know anything, you don't know anything,
I don't know anything about love. But we are nothing,
you are nothing, I am nothing without love."

I am just a great composer, and not a violent man,
but I lost my composure, and I shot Ferdinand.
Crying "it's well and kosher to say you don't understand,
but this is for Holland/Dozier/Holland"

his last words were:
"So, we don't know anything, you don't know anything,
I don't know anything about love. But we are nothing,
you are nothing, I am nothing without love."

his fading words were:
"So, we don't know anything, you don't know anything,
I don't know anything about love. But we are nothing,
you are nothing, I am nothing without love."

15:50 / 11.05.02

i cross the road and i hide
just to avoid the times
when you stood by my side
with all the things that i said
i'm still haunted by you
in every town, in every place
you're waiting
and from the pub to the grave
i'm still haunted by you
yes you, you're in my way.
