With the heartbreak openSo much you can't hide Put on a little makeup, makeup Make sure they get your good side, good side If the words unspoken Get stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow There must be something inside We don't follow fashion That'd be a joke You know we're going to set them, set them So everyone can take note, take note When they saw you kneeling Crying words that you mean Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside No one's gonna tell me What's wrong and what's right Or tell me who to eat with, sleep with Or that I've won the big fight, big fight Look out or they'll tell you You're a "Superstar" Two weeks and you're an all-time legend I think the games have gone much too far If the words unspoken Get stuck in your throat Send a treasure token, token Write it on a pound note, pound note Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside 'Cause I don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

I used to visit all the very gay places Those come what may places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life To get the feel of life From jazz and cocktails. The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distingué traces That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away By too many through the day Twelve o'clock tales. Then you came along with your siren song To tempt me to madness! I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness Of a great love for me. Ah yes! I was wrong Again, I was wrong. Life is lonely again, And only last year everything seemed so sure. Now life is awful again, A trough-full of hearts could only be a bore. A week in Paris will ease the bite of it, All I care is to smile in spite of it. I'll forget you, I will While yet you are still burning inside my brain. Romance is mush, Stifling those who strive. I'll live a lush life in some small dive And there I'll be, while I rot With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too.

The good times are killing me. Here we go! Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on. Shrug off shortsighted false excitement and oh what can I say? Have one, have twenty more "one mores" and oh it does not relent. The good times are killing me. Kick butt buzz-cut dickheads who didn't like what I said. The good times are killing me. Jaws clenched tight we talked all night, oh but what the hell did we say? The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. Fed up with all that LSD. Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamines. Late nights with warm, warm whiskey. I guess the good times they were all just killing me. Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on. The good times are killing me. Enough hair of the dog to make myself an entire rug. The good times are killing me. Have one, have twenty more "one mores" and oh it does not relent. The good times are killing me. Shit-kicker city slickers who all wanted me dead. The good times are killing me. Get sucked in and stuck in late nights with more folks that I don't know. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me. The good times are killing me.

We made it! Time was driftin', this rock had got to roll So I hit the road and made my getaway Restless feeling really got a hold I started searching for a better way And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night But I couldn't see the light No, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right I couldn't get it right L.A. fever made me feel right But I must admit it got the best of me Getting down, so deep I coulda drowned I can't get back the way I used to be But I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night But I couldn't see the light No, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right New York City took me with the tide But I nearly died from hospitality Left me stranded, took away my pride Just another no-account fatality I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night But I couldn't see the light No, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night But I couldn't see the light No, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right

In the cool of the evening When everything is gettin kind of groovy You call me up and ask me Would I like to go with you and see a movie First I say no, I've got some plans for the night And then I stop, and say, all right Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you You always keep me guessin I never seem to know what you are thinkin And if a girl looks at you It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin I get confused, cause I don't know where I stand And then you smile, and hold my hand Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you Spooky If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dyin to be sayin Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin my dreams So now i know, you're not what you seem Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you Spooky, spooky, oh whoa, all right Spooky, oh yea yea I said Spooky yea yea

My father married a pure Cherokee My mother's people were ashamed of me The indians said I was white by law The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw" Half-breed, that's all I ever heard Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word Half-breed, she's no good they warned Both sides were against me since the day I was born We never settled, went from town to town When you're not welcome you don't hang around The other children always laughed at me "Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee" We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame My life since then has been from man to man But I can't run away from what I am

Matt and I were hiking in Trail of Tears state park this past weekend. It is where they had to cross the Mississippi and were made to wait there over the winter. Many were lost to the elements. I am 1/16th Cherokee They took the whole Cherokee nation Put us on this reservation Took away our ways of life The tomahawk and the bow and knife Took away our native tongue And taught their English to our young And all the beads we made by hand Are nowadays made in Japan Cherokee people Cherokee tribe So proud to live So proud to die They took the whole Indian nation Locked us on this reservation Though I wear a shirt and tie I'm still part redman deep inside Cherokee people Cherokee tribe So proud to live So proud to die But maybe someday when they learn Cherokee nation will return, will return Will return, will return, will return

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta dayI was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet" And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge" "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" 'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas "Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please" "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow" 'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge And now Billy Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge 'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night? "I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right" "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge" "And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" 'n' Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?" "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite" "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today" "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way" "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge" "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge" A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe 'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Now there's a man you'll hear about Most anywhere you go And his holdings are in Texas And his name is Diamond Joe. And he carries all his money In a diamond-studded jar He never took much trouble With the process of the law. I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys Did offer him my hand He gave a string of horses So old they could not stand. And I nearly starved to death, boys He did mistreat me so And I never saved a dollar In the pay of Diamond Joe. Now his bread it was corn dodger And his meat you couldn't chaw Nearly drove me crazy With the waggin'of his jaw. And the tellin' of his story Mean to let you know That there never was a rounder That could lie like Diamond Joe. Now, I tried three times to quit him But he did argue so I'm still punchin' cattle In the pay of Diamond Joe. And when I'm called up yonder And it's my time to go Give my blankets to my buddies Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.

Momma told her baby, girl take it real slowGirl told her momma hey I really gotta go He's waitin' in the car Momma said girl you won't get far Thus are the dreams of an average Jane Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane On a tank of dreams Oh if she could've only seen But fate's got cards that it don't want to show And that boy's just A walkaway Joe Born to be a leaver Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise She's gonna know it in a matter of time That boy's just a walkaway Joe Now just a little while into Abilene Pulls into a station and he robs it clean She's waitin' in the car Underneath the Texaco star She only wanted love didn't bargain for this She can't help but love him for the way he is She's only seventeen And there ain't no reasoning So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go Cause that boy's just A walkaway Joe Born to be a leaver Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise She's gonna know it in a matter of time That boy's just a walkaway Joe Somewhere in a roadside motel room Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon And reaches for his arm But she'll just keep reachin' on For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known That boy's just A walkaway Joe Born to be a leaver Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise But it was just another lesson in life That boy was a walkaway Joe

avatar changes are tricky, sometimes immediate, back in March, got stuck with Mr. T for 5 weeks....despite many attempts to change....patience is a virtue..... I went back to the doctor To get another shrink. I sit and tell him about my weekend, But he never betrays what he thinks. Can you see the real me, doctor? I went back to my mother I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me." She said, "I know how it feels son, 'Cause it runs in the family." Can you see the real me, mother? The cracks between the paving stones Look like rivers of flowing veins. Strange people who know me Peeping from behind every window pane. The girl I used to love Lives in this yellow house. Yesterday she passed me by, She doesn't want to know me now. Can you see the real me, can you? I ended up with the preacher, Full of lies and hate, I seemed to scare him a little So he showed me to the golden gate. Can you see the real me preacher? Can you see the real me doctor? Can you see the real me mother? Can you see the real me?

and your avatar, so jealous May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please? Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up? We're gonna have a problem here.. Y'all act like you never seen a white person before Jaws all on the floor like Pam and Tommy just burst in the door And started whooping her ass worse than before They first were divorced, throwing her over furniture (Ah!) It's the return of the... "Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding, He didn't just say what I think he did, did he?" And Dr. Dre said... nothing, you idiots! Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!) Feminist women love Eminem [*vocal turntable: chigga chigga chigga*] "Slim Shady, I'm sick of him Look at him, walking around grabbing his you-know-what Flipping the you-know-who." "Yeah, but he's so cute though!" Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose But no worse, than what's going on in your parents' bedrooms Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can't But it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose "My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips" And if I'm lucky, you might just give it a little kiss And that's the message that we deliver to little kids And expect them not to know what a woman's clitoris is Of course they gonna know what intercourse is By the time they hit fourth grade They got the Discovery Channel, don't they? "We ain't nothing but mammals.." Well, some of us cannibals Who cut other people open like cantaloupes [SLURP] But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes Then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope [*EWWW!*] But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote Women wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes [Chorus – Eminem (repeat 2x):] 'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up, Please stand up, please stand up? [Eminem] Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records; Well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too! You think I give a damn about a Grammy? Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me "But Slim, what if you win, wouldn't it be weird?" Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here? So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears? Yo Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst And hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first Little bitch, put me on blast on MTV "Yeah, he's cute, but I think he's married to Kim, hee-hee!" I should download her audio on MP3 And show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD [AHHH!] I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me So I have been sent here to destroy you [bzzzt] And there's a million of us just like me Who cuss like me; who just don't give a fuck like me Who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me It just might be the next best thing but not quite me! [Chorus] [Eminem] I'm like a head trip to listen to, cause I'm only giving you Things you joke about with your friends inside your living room The only difference is I got the balls to say it In front of y'all and I don't gotta be false or sugarcoated at all I just get on the mic and spit it And whether you like to admit it [*ERR*] I just shit it Better than ninety percent of you rappers out can Then you wonder how can kids eat up these albums like Valiums It's funny; 'cause at the rate I'm going when I'm thirty I'll be the only person in the nursing home flirting Pinching nurses asses when I'm jacking off with Jergens And I'm jerking but this whole bag of Viagra isn't working And every single person is a Slim Shady lurking He could be working at Burger King, spitting on your onion rings [*HACH*] Or in the parking lot, circling Screaming "I don't give a fuck!" With his windows down and his system up So, will the real Shady please stand up? And put one of those fingers on each hand up? And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control And one more time, loud as you can, how does it go? [Chorus 4X] [Eminem] Ha ha Guess there's a Slim Shady in all of us Fuck it, let's all stand up

my alltime favorite poet was well versed in his works by the time I was 10. my great grandmother had this poem framed on the wall in her backroom. It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love— I and my Annabel Lee— With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea. The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, Went envying her and me— Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we— Of many far wiser than we— And neither the angels in Heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea— In her tomb by the sounding sea.

The clock struck midnightAnd through my sleeping I heard a tapping at my door I looked but nothing lay in the darkness And so I turned inside once more To my amazement There stood a raven Whose shadow hung above my door Then through the silence It spoke the one word That I shall hear for evermore Nevermore Thus quoth the raven, nevermore And still the raven remains in my room No matter how much I implore No words can soothe him No prayer remove him And I must hear for evermore Quoth the raven, nevermore Nevermore Thus quoth the raven, nevermore Love Poe as well....my dad bought me a soft cover of his complete works...still have it, probably about the age that you asked your dad to buy you Garbage ;-)

all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming still is sitting, STILL is sitting... Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free. Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night. Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Brings this lyric to mind.....Sarge was playing it earlier..... Lost my shape-Trying to act casual! Can't stop-I might end up in the hospital I'm changing my shape-I feel like an accident They're back!-To explain their experience Isn't it weird/Looks too obscure to me Wasting away/And that was their policy I'm ready to leave-I push the fact in front of me Facts lost-Facts are never what they seem to be Nothing there!-No information left of any kind Lifting my head-Looking for danger signs There was a line/There was a formula Sharp as a knife/Facts cut a hole in us There was a line/There was a forula Sharp as a knife/Facts cut a hole in us I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... The feeling returns/Whenever we close out eyes Lifting my head/looking around inside The island of doubt-It's like the taste of medicine Working by hindsight-Got the message from the oxygen Making a list-Find the cost of opportunity Doing it right-Facts are useless in emergencies The feeling returns/Whenever we close out eyes Lifting my head/Looking around inside. Facts are simple and facts are straight Facts are lazy and facts are late Facts all come with points of view Facts don't do what I want them to Facts just twist the truth around Facts are living turned inside out Facts are getting the best of them Facts are nothing on the face of things Facts don't stain the furniture Facts go out and slam the door Facts are written all over your face Facts continue to change their shape I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... David Byrne and the Heads only get better with time, when these songs and albums were released, I took them for granted....musical perfection and lyrical focus, so few words, so many ideas.....

Baby, I get so scared insideAnd I don't really understand Is it love that's on my mind Or is it fantasy? Heaven, is in the palm of my hand And it's waiting here for you What am I supposed to do With a childhood tragedy? If I close my eyes forever Would it all remain unchanged? If I close my eyes forever Would it all remain the same? Sometimes, it's hard to hold on So hard to hold on to my dreams It isn't always what it seems When you're face to face with me Like a dagger you stick me in the heart And taste the blood from my veins And when we sleep would you shelter me In your warm and darkened grave? If I close my eyes forever Would it all remain unchanged? If I close my eyes forever Would it all remain the same? Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same (Oh) I know I've been so hard on you I know I've told you lies If I could have just one more wish I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes If I close my eyes forever Would it all remain unchanged? If I close my eyes forever Would it all remain the same? (Oh yeah) Close your eyes, close your eyes You gotta close your eyes for me
