Somewhere deep inside, something's got a hold on you,
And it's pushing me aside -- See it stretch on forever.

And I know I'm right for the first time in my life;
That's why I tell you you'd better be home soon.

Stripping back the coats of lies and deception,
Back to nothingness, like a week in the desert.

And I know I'm right for the first time in my life;
That's why I tell you you'd better be home soon.

So don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong
'cause when you get back home, maybe I'll be gone.

It would cause me pain if we were to end it.
But I could start again, you can depend on it.

And I know I'm right for the first time in my life;
That's why I tell you you'd better be home soon.

~Crowded House

[Hyakujo's Fox]

She stood on the steps behind a man
He lit a cigarette and leaned on the rail
The smell of burning made her head clear
Thinking all the thoughts she hadn't thought for years

Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost
Old friends go to war
Love comes love goes
Everything that we have echoes what we desire
She prefers fire

Tomorrow no plan will carry her away
This evening the man well he wonders what to say
The sparks are lighting up the night sky
Possessions, letters now just fuel for history

Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost
Old friends go to war
Love comes love goes
Everything that we have echoes what we desire
She prefers fire

And from the bridge she's seen
Water pale and green
She still prefers fire

Sometimes I dream that everything I own
Could burn up and
Leave me no sadness no home
A flame collapsing from the inside
Antiseptic, hottest blue and purest white

Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost
Old friends go to war
Love comes love goes
Everything that we have echoes what we desire
She prefers fire

I don't ever feel warm,
Like grass stains,
And I'm stone cold, whatever's left --
I'm too tied up to come undone...
Styrofoam.

I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn
I flipped a switch and the light went on
I got out of bed and I put some clothes on
It's a pretty good day so far
I turned the tap, there was cold there was hot
I put on my coat to go to the shop
I stepped outside, and I didn't get shot
It's a pretty good day so far
I didn't hear any sirens or explosions
No murders coming in from those heavy guns
No UN tanks, I didn't see one
It's a pretty good day so far
No snipers in windows, taking a peek
No people panic, running scared through the streets
I didn't see any bodies without arms, legs, or feet
It's a pretty good day
There was plasma, bandages, and electricity
Food, wood, and water, and the air was smoke-free
No camera crews from ITV
It was all such a strange sight to behold
Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or cold
And the children seemed normal, they didn't look old
It's a pretty good day so far
I walked through a park, you would not believe it
There in the park, there were a few trees left
And on some branches, there were a few leaves
I slept through the night, got through to the dawn
I flipped the switch and the light went on
I wrote down my dream, and I made it this song
It's a pretty good day so far

~Loudon Wainwright III

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle

And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...

Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps

Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...

Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death

Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go

Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...

Always look on the right side of life...

(Come on guys, cheer up!)

Always look on the bright side of life...

Always look on the bright side of life...

(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)

Always look on the bright side of life...

(I mean - what have you got to lose?)

(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.

What have you lost? Nothing!)

Always look on the right side of life...

-Eric Idle

ask your questions here
i'll tell you what i know
or at least what i think is so
ask me for my help
i'll give you what i can
but don't always assume that i can lend a hand

if i smile that's entertainment
and if i frown don't say a word
cause it's just my way and i'm not changing
after all these years in this world

i'll tell you right up front
when i gotta go
cause i've got people waiting and things to do
so take me home
i've got places to be and things to see
so take me home

~Wayne

[l'azizza]

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....

[brightpearl]

Anything you want, anything you need from me
Don't be afraid to ask cause I am here for you
Embrace my every charm, hold me in your arms tonight
Don't take me for a ride, I've nowhere to reside, yeah...

I approached you that way only to find no peace of mind
Yes, I'm guilty of love - if that is a crime

One thing I know is true
What once was me everyone now believes is you
Originality was never big on your list of things to be

Take me home to keep, picture me inside your sleep
I'm here inside your dreams, I'll wake you with a scream
A crime it seems to me, like a bird without a tree
To sleep and rest his weary wings
Just listen to him sing, yeah...

I approached you that way only to find no peace of mind
Yes, I'm guilty of love - if that is a crime

One thing I know is true
What once was me everyone now believes is you
Originality was never big on your list of things
Your list of things to be

Drop your gun and your guard put your hands up in the air
Give me back what you stole and get out
Get the hell outta here

One thing I know is true
What once was me everyone now believes is you
Originality was never big on your list of things to be

A closer look only to find you standing without reason or rhyme
And when the lights go up we'll see a man who's afraid of himself
Afraid of himself
Afraid himself to be

you have to go and leave me
don't make it so hard just run
it's not that big a thing you're
on the other side of town

don't want to
don't like to
there has to be a better way
i don't like it but
there's nothing left to say

does it ever get any better
or will i feel this way the rest of my life
i just can't get it together
but now and then i'm losing my mind

i tried to look the other way
to make it through another day
does it ever get any better
cause i'd be with you the rest of my life

all my life
all my life
all my life
all my life

you just have to believe me
take my word and go
for now you can't be with me
we're better off alone

i don't want to
don't like to
there has to be a better way
i don't like it but
there's nothing left to say

does it ever get any better
or will i feel this way the rest of my life
i just can't get it together
but now and then i'm losing my mind

i tried to look the other way
to make it through another day
does it ever get any better
cause i'd be with you the rest of my life

i'm sure i won't forget
i need this breath
i need to get by
i hope you don't regret
the things we said
we need to get by
we need to get by

does it ever get any better
or will i feel this way the rest of my life
i just can't get it together
but now and then i'm losing my mind

i tried to look the other way
to make it through another day
does it ever get any better
cause i'd be with you the rest of my life

When Mac was swimming I was running late,
walking around New Orleans looking for a birthday cake.
It was a great surprise to him so many people came.
Nobody knows, darling.
Nobody knows how they are loved.
Don't worry, my darling, the sun's coming up.

Let's get up early now, dive clear into the day.
Let's get out of the car with open arms,
not wait to be embraced.
The flowers that grew, the things that happened
since the day you came.
Nobody knows, darling. Nobody knows how they are loved.
Don't worry, my darling, the sun's coming up.
~The Innocence Mission

big wheel keeps on turning

on a simple line, day by day

earth spins on its axis

one man struggles while another relaxes

There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing

I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of axis over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggles while another relaxes

We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And i'll show you sunset sometime again

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggles while another relaxes
As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again

[brightpearl]

A careless word is complicated
An empty nest still leaves a space
