[holdol]

People what have you done, locked him in his golden cage
Made him bend to your religon, him ressurected from the grave
He is the God of nothing, if thats all that you can see
You are the God of everything, he's inside you and me
So lean upon him gently, and don't call on him to save you
From all your social graces, and the sins you used to waive
The bloody church of England, in chains of history
Requests your earthy presence, at the vicarage for tea
And the graven image you know who, with his plastic crucifix
He's got it fixed
Confuses me as to who and what and why, as to how he gets his kicks
Confessing to the endless sin, the endless whining sound
You'll be praying till next Thursday, to all the Gods that you can count.

I read about her in a magazine
The writer painted her in colors of a Queen
Other people said bad things instead
So I was curious to check out what I'd read
But askin around, she couldn't be found
Strange, elusive Miss James

Two weeks later I was down at The Shrine
Saw a pretty girl that would suit me fine
Rushin around we forgot to trade names
I didn't connect her with the one they called Miss James
I was surprised, when I realized
The two, were one and the same

 

[Perilypos]

Cam ye o'er frae France?
Cam ye doon by Lunnon?
Saw ye Geordie Whelps
and his bonnie woman?
Oh, weren't ye at the place
called the Kittle Housie?
Saw ye Geordie's grace
a-ridin' on a goosie?

Geordie, he's a man,
there is little doot o't,
And he's done a' he can,
all can dae wi'oot it,
Doon there cam' a blade,
linkin' like ma lordie,
He wad drive a trade
at the loom o' Geordie.

Though the claith were bad,
blythly may we niffer
Gin we git oor wab,
it makes little differ,
we hae tint oor plaid,
bonnet, belt and swordie
Ha's and mailin's braid,
but we hae oor Geordie.

Jocky's gone to France,
and Montgomery's lady
there will learn to dance;
madam, are ye ready?
They'll be back belyve,
belted brisk and lordly,
Brawly, may they thrive
to dance a jig wi' Geordie!

Hey for Sandy Don,
hey for Cockalorum,
Hey for Bobbin' John,
and his Hielan' quorum!
Mony a sword and lance
swings at Hielan hurdie;
How they'll skip and dance
o'er the bum o' Geordie!

Just like the pied piper, led rats through the streets...just like marionettes, swaying to the symphony...of destruction!!!!

.... a classic...


I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get to me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer

 

[Perilypos]

Je suis la mort des hommes
Et je porte couronne
Et je suis la vie
La maîtresse et patronne

Et bien sur je suis cruelle
Et bien sur je suis tres dure
Et rien n´arretera mes déchirures

R: Toi maîtresse du monde
Sois bienvenue dans nos maisons
Pose ta faux au creux de nos musiques

Prends place dans nos dances
Et si tu dances encore
Toute la mort sera morte a l´aurore

Je suis la mort des hommes
Et je porte couronne
Et je suis la vie
La maîtresse et patrone

Et devant la faux qui passe
Je vais brandiz vos figures
Et rien n´arretera mes déchirures

R: Toi maîtresse du monde
Sois bienvenue dans nos maisons
Pose ta faux au creux de nos musiques

Prends place dans nos dances
Et si tu dances encore
Toute la mort sera morte a l´aurore

Now if six, turned out to be nine
I don't mind, I don't mind
If all the hippies, cut off all their hair
I don't care, I don't care
Dig
Cause I've got my own world to live though and uh huh
And I ain't gonna copy you

 

[dick van cock]

Living on free food tickets. Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through, what can we do? Mmm.
Tears from your baby sister, crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go, oh but you know she'll get by,
Because she's living in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.

It's a good thing you don't have bus-fare, it would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground, walking to the town to find a job.
Trying to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
and it chills to the bone. Boy you better go home where it's warm.
And you can live in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.

Living on dreams ain't easy, but the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
and the chills stay away, you take them in stride, family pride.
You know, faith is your foundation, with a whole lot of love
and a warm conversation and many a prayer, making you strong where you belong.
Living in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.
Living in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.

"Hurts So Good" by Millie Jackson



First, you take my heart
In the palm of your hands
And you squeeze it
Then you take my mind
And play with it all night

You take my pride and you
Throw it up against the wall
You take me in your arms, baby
And bounce me like a rubber ball

I`m not complaining
What you`re doing, you see
Cause this hurting feeling
Is, ooh, so good to me

Don`t you know that it
Hurts so good
Don`t you know that it
Hurts so good

You take my name
Scandalize it in the streets
Anything you wanna do or say
Is alright with me

Turn right around and
Make sweet love to me
Ooo wee, baby, you`re
Sure nuff good to me

Cause, baby, these
Things youre doing to me
It hurts so bad but
It`s worth all the misery

Cause it hurts so good
Don`t you know that
It hurts so good
Ooh, hoo, baby, ooh...

Ooh, boy, please don`t
Ever take the hurt off me
Cause it would hurt even worse
If you would ever, ever leave
(Oh, yes, it would)

Even though sometimes
It`s hard for me to beg
(This heart is killing me)
I make myself hold out
Cause if it kills me, I don`t care

Cause, baby (baby)
I don`t want you to ever quit
It ain`t no good until it
Hurts a little bit

Cause it hurts so good
Don`t you know that
It hurts so good
Oh, baby

It hurts so good
Don`t you ever, don`t
You ever stop now, baby
Give me some, baby
(Lord, have mercy)

It hurts so good
Don`t you know that
It hurts so good to me
Good for me, yeah, yeah

Hurts so good
Ooh, baby......

Solo me ne sto alla finestra
Oggi e un giorno in bianco e nero, piovera!
Cerco malinconico nel tempo
qualche sogno che ho fatto gia... anni fa!
Il gelo ha disegnato sopra i vetri fiori blu
E c'e una nuvoletta che discende di lassu.
Si apre in due meta qui di fronte ame!
Quanti bei colori in quella nuvola
E quanta gente allegra...
Sopra un leone c'e
Un bimbo che invita anche me

A cavalcare tutti gli animali
Che san parlare come noi
E ridendo han ragione di pensare
Che le bestie siamo noi!

La nei prati azzurri galoppando
Sui cavalli bainchi e neri, giochero.
Sulle grandi ali colorate
Di bellissime farfalle, volero.
Seguendo le formiche in fila indiana marcero,
poi rubero il violino alla cicala e suonero
e chi mi ascoltera cantera con me!

Quanti bei colori in quella nuvola
E quanta gente allegra...
Sopra un leone c'e
Un bimbo che invita anche me
A cavalcare tutti gli animali
Che san parlare come noi
E ridendo han ragione di pensare
Che le bestie siamo noi!

Il gelo ha disegnato sopra i vetri fiori blu
E c'e una nuvoletta che discende di lassu.
Si apre in due meta qui di fronte ame!
Quanti bei colori in quella nuvola
E quanta gente allegra...
Sopra un leone c'e
Un bimbo che invita anche me

A cavalcare tutti gli animali
Che san parlare come noi
E ridendo han ragione di pensare
Che le bestie siamo noi!

one of my favourite Celentano songs. Not for the lyrics though, but for the way it sounds. 1969, Un Bimbo Sul Leone

 

[dick van cock]

I ride around on the subway trains,
Laughin' at the tight shoes dealin' you pain.
And I laugh when the car shakes from side to side,
I laugh my loudest when other people cry.
Can't help it -- I was born good, I guess,
Just like you or anybody else ---
But then I... just turned off mean..

I hate ev'rybody don't think like me,
And I'd rather see you dead than I'd ever see you free.
Rather see you starved to death
Than see you at work --
And I'm readin' all the books I can
To learn how to hurt --
Daily Misery -- spread diseases,
Keep you without no vote,
Keep you without no union.

Well, I hurt when I see you gettin' 'long so well,
I'd ten times rather see you in the fires of hell.
I can't stand to fixed... see you there all fixed up in that house so nice,
I'd rather keep you in that rotten hole, with the bugs and the lice,
And the roaches, and the turnamights,
And the sand fleas, and the tater bugs,
And the grub worms, and the stingarees,
And the vinegarones, and the trazzlers [?],
And the spiders, childs of the earth,
The ticks and the blow-flies --
These is all of my little angels
That go 'round helpin' me do the best parts of my meanness.
And mosquiters...

 

[rockford80]

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance.

To Make Somebody Happy


by Eric Clapton

Feel like someone's put the hurt on me,
And it's making me feel sad.
Feel like someone's trying to turn me away
From the good times to the bad.

Feel like someone's trying to teach me
What is wrong from what is right.
And I can't belong to everyone;
Let me stay with you tonight.

And I hope it makes somebody happy.
Lord, I hope it makes somebody happy.

This river's hard enough for me to swim,
But there's nowhere left to hide.
I ain't no swimmer but I won't give in
Till I reach the other side.

Chorus

'Cause it's all to make somebody happy.
It takes us all to make somebody happy.

House of The Rising Sun By The Animals

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

------ organ solo ------

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

 

[shayd]

Well the south side of chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named leroy brown

Now leroy more than trouble
You see he stand bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the mens just call him sir

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybodys nose
He got a custom continental
He got an eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well friday bout a week ago
Leroy shootin dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named doris
And ooh that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
And leroy brown learned a lesson
bout messin with the wife of a jealous man

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog,

Well the two men took to fightin
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

- Jim Croce "Bad Bad LeRoy Brown"

C is Central, next stop on the line,
K is for the cozy Kendall station, and
C is Charles that overlooks the brine...a-
P is Park St...Pahk Street, busy Boston center, and

The Beginning of My End / The Unifics

Up drove the Hurst Cadillac
a crowd of people gathered 'round
all dressed in black
and as they removed her body from the car
such pain I never knew had filled my heart

I lost the only one I ever loved,
the lord has returned her up above,
life will never be the same again
It's the beginning of my end

It happened on a Saturday night
my love and I had just had a silly fight
she got into her car and angrily drove away
neither of us knew then,
that she'd never see another day

What have I done lord to deserve this misery
all of my life and all of my world has come falling down on me

I was at home watching my TV
When the noise of the phone rudely disturbed me
I wasn't to sure at first just what the doctor meant, when he informed me that there had been an accident

Why of why I heard her mother cry
as I rushed to the scene with tears in my eyes
I heard somebody ask "who was the next of kin?"
but old lord, it was the beginning of my end.

Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
She's gone much too long
Any time she goes away

Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know
She's gone to stay
It's breakin' me up
Anytime she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no Sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
And she's gone much too long
Any time she goes away

Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
There ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't a home
Any time she goes away

I know
She's gone to stay
It's breaking me up
Any time she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no Sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time she goes away
Any time she goes away
