Strange how the scale forms, In tiny patterns, On my antenna?And The Five O'Clock Show ... "Hello, Hello" ...
Brooklyn is crawling, With famous people, I turn my vehicle
Beneath the river, west from south
Through the airwaves, People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves? I really should have seen through the airwaves
Electric fences line our new freeway, Here in the half-light, The motor homes leave
Knee-deep in water, Under a pylon, How slow my heartbeat?
How thin the air I'm breathing in?
Through the airwaves, People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves? Or stamp them out at street level?
Airwaves, The dampness of the wind, The airwaves
The tension of the skin, The airwaves, I really should have seen through the ...
Be in my broadcast, When this is over, Give me your shoulder
I need a place to wait for morning, No, it was nothing, Some car backfiring
Please don't ask questions? I itch all over, Let me sleep
Through the airwaves, People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves? Or stamp them out at street level?
Airwaves, The dampness of the wind, The airwaves
The tension of the skin, The airwaves, I really should have seen through ...

Radio waves. Radio waves.He hears radio waves. Radio waves.
The atmosphere is thin and cold
The yellow sun is getting old
The ozone overflows with radio waves
AM, FM, weather and news
Our leaders had a frank exchange of views
Are you confused, radio waves.
Radio waves, radio waves
AM radio waves, FM radio waves
Radio waves, mind-numbing radio waves
Fish-stunning radio waves
Radio waves.
Magic Billy in his wheel chair
Is picking up all this stuff in the air
Billy is face to face with outer space
Messages from distant stars
The local police calling all cars, radio waves
Hear them radio waves, radio waves
Jesus saves radio, radio waves
Radio waves, AM radio waves, FM radio waves
All them radio waves
Radio waves, radio waves, he hears radio waves
Radio waves, radio waves, hopeful radio waves, dopeful radio waves
Radio waves, Russian radio waves, Prussian radio waves
Eastern radio waves, Western radio waves
Testing radio waves, one two. One two.
Radio waves. Getting through to you
More code radio waves, Tobacco road radio waves
South to Paloma radio waves, Oklahoma City radio waves
Sitting pretty radio waves, nitty-gritty radio waves
Radio waves
Jim: Alright, that's a song called Radio Waves. You are listening to
KAOS in Los Angeles and we've got Billy on the line.
Billy: I'm from the valleys.
Jim: You're from the valley?
Billy: No, Jim you schmuck, the Valleys; male voice choirs, Wales.
Jim: Ah, you're from Wales! Now is this sperm or blue-tip?
Billy: Ha, ha, ha, ha. Very funny Jim.
Jim: Sorry.
Billy: Me and Benny went out.
Jim: Who's Benny?

Radio, live transmissionRadio, live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction
Waiting for our sight
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance
Further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

Give her some funked up muzac, she treats you niceFeed her some hungry reggae, she'll love you twice
The girl don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
No static at all
There, there, no static at all
(Steely Dan)
Shake off the sleep, grab my favorite cup, I'm wide awake when the sun comes upThe mornin' light shares a secret with me, And it's one that's just too good to keep
Pick up your worries, take 'em out with the trash, Make a friend, share a few laughs
Roll as easy as a rockin' chair, Tell your baby just how much you care
Oh yeah, no static at all, Let's dance, I'm havin' a ball
It's so clear, I hear the whole world sing, Life is a beautiful thing
I feel better than a new hairdo, Gettin' a raise, buyin' a new pair of shoes
Nothin' heavy, I go with the breeze, It's all good wherever it leads
Gettin' whistles, turnin' heads, Smilin' back, turnin' red
Every day's like a day at the beach, And every night I feel the sweetest dreams
Oh yeah, no static at all, Let's dance, ohhh, I'm havin' a ball
So clear, I hear the whole world sing, Life is a beautiful thing
Oh yeah, no static at all, Let's dance, ohhh, I'm havin' a ball
So clear, I hear the whole world sing, Life is a beautiful, fun and irresistible
Magical, beautiful thing
(Amanda Wilkinson)
"The storm is coming but I don't mind
People are dying, I close my blinds
All that I know is I'm breathing now
I want to change the world
Instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me
But all that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now
All that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now

(Stephen Hawking: "For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals, then something happened that unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk.")There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one will bother me
I think I should speak now
("Why won't you talk to me?")
I can't seem to speak now
("You never talk to me.")
My words won't come out right
("What are you thinking?")
I feel like I'm drowning
("What are you feeling?")
I'm feeling weak now
("You never talk to me.")
But I can't show my weakness
("What are you thinking?")
I sometimes wonder
("What are you feeling?")
Where do we go from here?
(Hawking again....)
"It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking"
(Pink Floyd)
Talk ... Talk ...It's never been easy living with you, Dish of the season, fishing for truth
But we got it rolling right on the track, Here's to the future with no turning back
We're taking half and half in mystery, We're making love to love so easily
And still I can't believe what's going round? I don't believe you'd ever let me down?
But I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall?
Too many private eyes and party lines, Secret signs, friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk, Talk
Look in your eyes and what do I see? Everything I needed looking at me
Beyond all suspicion, dreams on the side, Hold that position, ticket to ride
So when it's all wrapped up, Like it's meant to be, The only trap that's left is jealousy
And still I can't believe what's going round? I don't believe you'd ever let me down?
But I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall?
Too many private eyes and party lines, Secret signs, friends who seem to know it all
But I hear talk, I hear talk, Talk
Chinese whispers circulate, There's a newsman leaning on the garden gate
If you don't wanna headline better use your head ...
'Cause I heard someone say something you said!
And I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines, Secret signs, friends who seem to know it all
And I hear talk, I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines, Secret signs, friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk ... Talk talk talk ... Talk talk talk ...
(Bucks Fizz)
Oooo, oooo, ooooProple are talkin', talkin' bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers, kept under cover
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we....
Laugh just a little too loud
Stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seein' somethin' we don't darlin'
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?
(Bonnie Raitt)
..or how they said it in the olden days:Laurey : Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours?
Curly : Why do the neighbors gossip all day, behind their doors?
Laurey :
I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue.
Here is the gist, a practical list of "don'ts" for you.
Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love!
Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love!
Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove.
Sweetheart they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love.
Curly : Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I.
Why do y' take the trouble to bake my favorite pie?
Grantin' your wish, I carved our initials on that tree.
Jist keep a slice of all the advice you give so free.
Don't praise my charm too much
Don't look so vain with me
Don't stand in the rain with me
People will say we're in love!
Don't take my arm too much
Don't keep your hand in mine
Your hand feels so grand in mine
People will say we're in love!
Don't dance all night with me
Till the stars fade from above.
They'll see it's alright with me
People will say we're in love.
(as sung by Shirley Jones & Gordon MacRae in the film version of Oklahoma!)
I'll never forget the first day I met her -That September morning was clear and fresh -
The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes
And the way she rubbed herself against the edge of my desk.
She became a magic mystery to me
And we'd sit together in double history twice a week,
And sometimes we'd walk the same way home
And it's surprising how quick a little rain can clear the streets.
We dreamed of her and compared our dreams,
But that was all that I ever tasted.
'Cos she lied to me with her body, you see,
And I laughed to myself 'bout the chances I wasted.
The times that we were close were few and far between
In the darkness at the dances in the school canteen.
Did she close her eyes as I did when we held each other tight?
And la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaa means "I love you".
She danced with me and I still hold that memory soft and sweet,
And I stare up at her window as I walk down her street.
But I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh,
And she never came to the phone: she was always in the bath.
In the end it took me a dictionary
To find out the meaning of "unrequited",
While she was giving herself for free
At a party to which I was never invited.
I never understood my failings then and I hide my humble hopes now.
Thinking back, she made us want her: a girl not old enough to shave her legs.
(Billy Bragg)
I don't know your name, And you don't know mineThat sounds like a fine place to start?
We are strangers, it seems, With our own sep'rate dreams
But I feel like I know you by heart
Look at the moon slowly risin', Look at those stars up above
Darlin', just for tonight, Until we get it right ...
Let's make believe we're in love
Imagine the bliss, That comes with one kiss?
Imagine that feeling won't end
There'll be no tears at stake, And no heart's gonna break
'Cuz it never hurts to pretend
Look at the moon slowly risin', Look at those stars up above
Let's begin with hello, Then we'll see where things go? ...
Let's make believe we're in love
It may not yet be true, But let's see what we can do? ...
Let's make believe we're in love
(Irene in Footloose - the Musical)
People see us everywhere, they think we really careBut myself I can't decieve, I know it's only make believe
My one and only prayer is that someday you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know, how much I love you so
My only prayer will be, someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
(Many versions - I'll go with the Hollies!)
I'm in love with the bossanovaHe's the one with the cashanova
I'm in love with his heart of steel
I'm in love
I'm in love with the bossanova
He's the one with the cashanova
I'm in love with his heart of steel
I'm in love
How come no-one ever told me
Who I'm working for
Down among the rich men baby
And the poor
Here comes love for ever
And its here comes love for no-one
Oh here comes love for Marilyn
And it's oh my baby oh-oh my baby
What you gonna do?
In the reason - in the rain
Still support the revolution
(scritti politti)
And from another era ...I was at a dance when he caught my eye
Standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy
We began to dance, swaying' to and fro
And soon I knew I'd never let him go
Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)
[Instrumental organ]
Now I'm glad to say I'm his bride to be
And we're gonna raise a family
And when our kids ask how it came about
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt
Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune? )
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)
(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above ?)
[Fade]
No, no, the bossa nova
(Eydie Gorme)
I said, 'Take it easy, babyI worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails
Flyin' all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head'
She said, 'Hey, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on a workin' child
This ain't no time to quit'
She said, 'Go, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin'
I'm about to have myself a fit'
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
(elvis presley)
Here's a new dance that you all can do"Baby, baby, what's he gonna do?"
Sit back and relax 'cos it's good for you
"Baby, baby, what's he gonna do?
What's he gonna say?
He's taken my breath away"
Well, if you're tired of doing the boogaloo
And you're afraid of doing the swim
'Cos you think you will drown in the noise of the record
And the klutz on the floor, he ain't there anymore
'Cos all you wanna do is be alone at the bar
All you wanna do is be alone at the bar
You wanna drown in your cocktail
You wanna leave with the laundry
If your mind is trippin' and your disc is slippin'
Here's what you gotta do - Nothing
In any tempo or any rhythm
C'mon Mac, do the Sacro-illiac
C'mon Mac, do the Sacro-illiac
I said, "C'mon Mac do the Sacro-illac
(10cc)
Choose yourself a partnerFrom the middle of the floor.
Blow a little kiss
To the woman next door.
Step on the gas,
Put your head in the air.
Make a V-sign
And you throw back your hair.
Put your hand on your hip.
You gotta let your back bone slip.
Put out your tongue,
Put your head in the air,
Make a V-sign
Like you just don't care.
Now you feel free,
You gotta lose control:
All God's children got a
Little bit of soul.
You don't have to think,
You don't have to move
A muscle. Just do the brow-beatin',
Heavy leather resurrection shuffle.
Think about nothing, now
You're nice and high.
You're advocating love
But you don't know why.
Now you getting vibrations
All down to your feet.
That's the brow beatin',
Heavy leather resurrection beat.
Put your hand on your hip...
(Ashton, Gardner & Dyke)
It's astounding, time is fleeting, Madness takes it's tollBut listen closely, not for very much longer, I've got to keep control ...
I remember doing the Time Warp, Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me, And the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again! ... Let's do the time warp again!
It's just a jump to the left, And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips, You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust, That really drives you insane ...
Let's do the Time Warp again!
It's so dreamy, ohhh fantasy free me!
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, With voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all ...
With a bit of a mind-flip, You're there in the time-slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, Like you're under sedation ...
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Well I was walking down the street, Just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy, Gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, He took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the Devil's eyes!
He stared at me, And I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again ...
Let's do the Time Warp again! ... Let's do the Time Warp again! ...
It's just a jump to the left, And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips, You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust, That really drives you insane ...
Let's do the Time Warp again!
(The Rocky Horror Picture Show)
When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded byhorses, horses, horses, horses
coming in in all directions
white shining silver studs with their nose in flames,
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this
Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator
And you twist the twister like your baby sister
I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister
Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee,
Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control,
Got to lose control and then you take control,
Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that,
Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that,
Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi
(patti smith)
When the still sea conspires an armourAnd her sullen and aborted
Currents breed tiny monsters,
True sailing is dead.
Awkward instant,
And the first animal is jettisoned,
Legs furiously pumping,
Their stiff green gallop,
And heads bob up:
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony,
Carefully refined
And sealed over.
(The Doors)
My lovely horseRunning through the fields
Where are you going
With your fetlocks blowing
In the wind?
I want to shower you with sugar lumps
And ride you over fences
Polish your hooves every single day
And take you to the horse dentist
My lovely horse
You're a pony no more
Running around
With a man on your back
Like a train in the night
‘Father Ted’
If I had a boatI'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

Fantastic!!! ... HA HA HA HA HA!!! ;o> ...A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a horse, of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course, Talk to Mister Ed
People yakkity-yak a streak and waste your time of day ...
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say ...
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse
You never heard of a talking horse? Well listen to this ...
"I am Mister Ed"
(Mister Ed ;o>)
I could bet on New Years Eve, He'd call me up at night From the other side of the world, Ed was always there alright
Ed's got the looks of a movie star, Ed's got the smile of a prince
He ride a bike instead of a car, I want to be his friend
Dancing in the living room, With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth, He's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colors, Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes a-riding with the brothers, He's got a fist in the air
Going to the run, run Angel, Going to the run, run Angel
Well, Heaven and Hell came together that night, Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel
One Summer at the festival, Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley, He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie star, Ed's got the smile of a prince
He'd ride a bike instead of a car, I'll always be his friend
Going to the run, run Angel, Going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright, Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel
Going to the run, run Angel, Forever going to the run, run Angel
Well, Heaven and Hell came together that night, Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouetteCaught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
Too early with your run, son.
Too early with your run.
A bunch of worn-out ockers, the local magistrate,
Go down to kicking at the altar when the evening's getting late,
And the scene is much too busy, the prizes are so obviously fakes,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Tell me, what you doing with that gun?
You don't believe in killing, someone's trying to kill you,
You don't actually want answers, just the odd clue,
And the timing moves to overdrive and no-one wants to get in touch with you,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
Next time you'll take anything, you wonder if you think too much,
Hoping just for anything to readjust your senses,
No-one believes in that these days, no-one's really taking chances,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Tell me, what you doing with that gun?
Yeahhh...what you doing, what you doing,
what you doing, what you doing, hey,
With that gun?
Bunch of withered roses lie, Tathra by the sea,
A four am hotel carpark, a vicious memory,
They're wrapping up your body, it's an ambulance charade,
They're telling you,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Tell me, what you doing with that gun?

You better run You better run and run and runYou better run You better run
You better run to the City of Refuge
You better run You better run
You better run to the City of Refuge
You stand before your maker
In a state of shame
Because your robes are covered in mud
While you kneel at the feet
Of a woman of the street
The gutters will run with blood
They will run with blood!

Oh Sinnerman.where you gonna run to?Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?, All on that day
We got to run to the rock, please hide me
I run to the rock, please hide me
Run to the rock, please hide me here
All on that day
But the rock cried out, "I can't hide you."
The rock cried out, " I can't hide you."
The rock cried out, "I ain't gonna hide you here
All on that day!"
I said " Rock, what's the matter with you rock?
Don't you see I need you rock?
Good Lord, Lord, all on that day."
So I run to the river - it was bleeding
I run to the sea, it was bleeding
All on that day
I run to the river, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
All on that day

We set the sails and hauled our oars.(Heading for the gods alone know where)
In the whale's wake we left our shores.
(Heading for the gods know where)
We steered the winds that Asgard sent
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
And the waves did rage without relent.
(Heading for the gods know where)
So heave, me heroes: heave and haul.
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.
Clash of salt-crests foamed and flew,
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
Hail and hoar-frost hacked our crew.
(Heading for the gods know where)
The albatrosses in the sky,
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
Like Valkyries where the vanquished lie.
(Heading for the gods know where)
So heave, me heroes: heave and haul.
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.
No time to dream of your fond farms,
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
Nor to dwell upon your ladies' charms.
(Heading for the gods know where)
The mighty Midgard-serpent's tail
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
Did writhe and rise up like a flail.
(Heading for the gods know where)
So heave, me heroes: heave and haul.
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.
The seas turned black as boiling tar
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
And shadow-shrouds obscured our star.
(Heading for the gods know where)
Then maggot-mouths munched on our hull
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
As we drifted in this lurid-lull.
(Heading for the gods know where)
So heave, me heroes: heave and haul.
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.
And as if this destiny were planned,
(Heading for the gods alone know where)
Eventually we sighted land.
(Heading for the gods know where)
So heave, me heroes: heave and haul.
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.
(Robert Calvert)
(I never got the reference to albatrosses. A Viking would have been as likely to see an albatross as a polar bear would be to see a penguin.)

Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man

Where you gonna run to
All along that day
You gonna run to the sea
But the sea will be boiling
When you run to the sea
The sea will be boiling
The sea will be boiling
All along that day
You gonna run to the rocks
The rocks will be melting
When you run to the rocks
The rocks will be melting
The rocks will be melting

Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange, Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange, No one remembers your name
When you're strange, When you're strange, When you're strange
(The Doors)
Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the polar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather and the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
(Billie Holiday)
If you were a cloud you would rain on meIf you were a boat I'd be all at sea
Of all the things we're not
I couldn't tell you want
Exactly what it means to me
If you were a tree you would bare strange fruits
If you were the queen of hearts I would follow suit
Whatever cards I hold
I'd just as soon as fold
And never ever see your hand
If you were a chair you'd have one leg short
If you were a brain I'd be lost in thought
If you were a trial I'd lose it by a mile
To know that I could try again
If you were a cloud you would rain on me
If you were a boat I'd be all at sea
Of all the things we're not
I couldn't tell you want
Exactly what it means to me
(Weddings Parties Anything)
If you were a cowboy I would trail youIf you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were a river I would swim you
If you were a house I would live in you all my days
If you were a preacher I’d begin to change my ways
Sometimes I believe in fate, But the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you
If I was in jail I know you’d spring me
If I was a telephone you’d ring me all day long
If I was in pain I know you’d sing me soothing songs
Sometimes I believe in fate, But the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you
If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you’d read me every night
If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
(Katie Melua)
You fell from the skyCrash landed in a field
Near the river Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
In a hole beneath the bridge
You convalesced, you fashioned masks of twigs and clay
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid
With my voice
I am calling you
You're a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You're a drug addict lying on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts
You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
You're an old man sitting by the fire, you're the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
Let us sit together until the moment comes
(nick cave)
A desert road from Vegas to nowhereSome place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little café just around the bend
I am calling you ... I am calling you ...
A hot dry wind blows right through me
The baby's crying and I can't sleep
But we all know a change is coming
Ohhh, coming closer sweet release
I am calling you ... I know you hear me ...
I am calling you ... Ohhh-oh-oh, Oooooh
Ohhh, I am calling you ... Ohhh, I am calling you ...
(Jeff Buckley)
You thought that it could never happenTo all the people that you became,
Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame.
But here, right here,
Between the birthmark and the stain,
Between the ocean and your open vein,
Between the snowman and the rain,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name.
The women in your scrapbook
Whom you still praise and blame,
You say they chained you to your fingernails
And you climb the halls of fame.
Oh but here, right here,
Between the peanuts and the cage,
Between the darkness and the stage,
Between the hour and the age,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name
(leonaed cohen)
Waiting on the edge with your Prodigal heartWanting for someone to save you from yourself
Out there on the edge, Dangling somewhere in the dark
Doubting if anybody really cares
Until Love reached through the shadows, Whispering your name
Nothing will ever be the same again
'Cause when Love calls you home
Forgiveness embraces the past you once owned
And all the mistakes that carried your name are gone
'Cause that's what happens ... When Love calls you home
Cradled in the mercy that has no limit
I've finally found a place where I belong
Now I can't imagine one moment without you in it
It's hard to believe I tried to make it on my own
You picked me up from the ruins of my broken life
When every chance was spent, You gave me one more try
'Cause when Love calls you home
Forgiveness embraces the past you once owned
And all the mistakes that carried your name are gone
'Cause that's what happens ... When Love calls you home
(Commissioned)
Call me up, if I'm homeDon't say too much, I might be upset
Let us agree to differ
We're consumed by competition
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Call me up, if I'm alone
I don't like to spend too much time on my own
I need to have diversion
Consume me with a new passion
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
We are all in competition
Better move fast gobble up your dinner
Take a tip - get hip!
It's not so bad in the promised land
It's not so bad in the promised land
It's not so bad in the promised land
How do I fill my days?
A force called "hard cash" moves my feet
(gang of four)
Maybe it's just age or a thousand other fearsThat took me back tonight to my early carnival years
I can see the parade a-movin' like the source of the old gulf stream
Oh what a lovely dream
Adolescent lust was begging for a start
As I side-stepped those Brothers with their sacred hearts
Yet for those two weeks a year, it was all about sin
Folly's chasin' death, you can count me in
There's a flambeaux man with a gold earring
And the cold north wind smells like kerosene
Here comes the float of the Carnival Queen
I want to wrap her in serpentine
Hands up high, eyes open wide
"Throw me something mister"
That's why you ride
Cracker Jacks with toys inside
Real beyond our wildest dreams
Floats and masks and a two mule team
Some things really are
The way they seem
Beads and confetti were littering the air
When the Queen looked at me with her Ava Gardner stare
Though tomorrow would bring ashes and penance by the ton
Mardi Gras's where I learned to have fun
There's a flambeaux man with a gold earring
And the cold north wind smells like kerosene
I'm still in love with the Carnival Queen
I want to wrap her in serpentine
Still want to wrap her in serpentine
It was the devil
(Jimmy Buffett)
And no-one saw the Carny go, the weeks flew byUntil they moved on the show, leaving his caravan behind
It was parked out on the south east ridge
And as the company crossed the bridge
With the first rain filling the bone-dry river bed
It shone, just so, upon the edge
Away, away, we're sad to say
Dog-boy, Atlas, Mandrake, the geeks, the hired hands
There was not one among them that did not cast an eye behind
In the hope that the Carny would return to his own kind
The Carny left behind a horse so skin and bone that he named Sorrow
And it was in a shallow, unmarked grave
That that old nag was laid
In the then parched meadow
And it was the dwarves that were given the task of digging the ditch
And laying the nag's carcass in the ground
While boss Bellini, waved his smoking pistol around
saying "The nag was dead meat"
"We can't afford to carry dead weight"
While the whole company standing about, not making a sound
And turning to the dwarves perched on the enclosure gate
The boss says "Bury this lump of crow bait"
(nick cave)
Cold and misty morning. I heard a warning borne in the air,About an age of power when no-one had an hour to spare.
Where the seeds had withered; the silent children shivered in the cold.
Now the faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.
I'll be there. I'll be there. I will be there.
Suffering in silence: they've all been betrayed.
They hurth them and they beat them in a terrible way.
Praying for survival at the end of the day.
There is no compassion for those who stay.
I'll be there. I'll be there. I will be there.
There must be someone who can set them free
To take their sorrow from this odyssey;
To help the helpless and the refugee;
To protect what's left of humanity.
Can't you see? Can't you see? Can't you see?
I'll be there. I'll be there. I will be there.
To heal their sorrow. To beg and borrow. Fight tomorrow...
Step inside. Hello! We've the most amazing show.

Will perform on guillotine. What a scene! What a scene!
Next upon the stand - would you please extend a hand
To Alexander's Ragtime Band? Dixieland! Dixieland.
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! See the show!
Performing on a stool, we've a sight to make you drool:
Seven virgins and a mule. Keep it cool! Keep it cool!
We'd like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
Were exclusively our own. All our own! All our own!
Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Come and see the show!
See the show!

eeeuw! :)Why in just a few moments we're off to Hawaii to join Steve McGarrett and the team for tonight's adventure
Nine o'clock flight from Hawaii
The Trident is just touching down
We're waiting here on the tarmac
McGarrett is wearing a frown
He's here to help with a problem
A blood-spattered curse on our land
Please cast your eye over this map, sir
This business is quite out of hand
The circus of death is approaching
It's pathway is painted in red
Before it the frightened and helpless
Behind it a trail of the dead
The narcotic that forges their union
Is a substance known only to one
To the clown it is known as dominion
It's a secret that he'll give to none
The drug which gives the clown power
Means the circus can never be stopped
And his dream can go on unhindered
Till the last human being has dropped
Spare me and my family, I've done you no wrong
Go away, please let us be, I've known you for too long
(human league)

We don't live in a hurry, Send away for Mistletoe

Santa riding on a Dolphin
Don't you want to make it? ... Don't you want to make it last?
