In honour of the release of Shine a Light this weekend (and the bullshit we all have to wade through every day):


Lies, dripping off your mouth like dirt
Lies, lies in every step you walk
Lies, whispered sweetly in my ear
Lies, how do I get out of here?
Why, why you have to be so cruel?
Lies, lies, lies I ain't such a fool!

Lies, lies in my papa's looks
Lies, lies in my history books
Lies, lies like they teach in class
Lies, lies, lies I catch on way too fast
Fire, fire upon your wicked tongue
Lies, lies, lies you're trying to spoil my fun

Lies, lies you dirty jezebel
Why, why, why, why don't you go to hell?
Why, why you think me such a fool?
Lies, lies, lies honey that's ya rules!

Lies, lies, lies, lies, oh my lies...

It's only when your poison spins into
the life you'd hoped to live
That suddenly you wake up in a shaking panic - wow!
You set me up like a lamb to slaughter
Garbo as a farmer's daughter
Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
I lay right down.

All your sad and lost apostles hum my
name and flare their nostrils
Choking on the bones you toss to them
Well I'm not one to sit and spin
'Cause living well's the best revenge
Baby, I am calling you on that

Don't turn your talking points on me,
history will set me free
The future's ours and you don't
even rate a footnote now!
So who's chasing you? Where did you go?
You disappeared mid-sentence
In a judgement crisis I see my anecdote for it
You weakened shell.

All your sad and lost apostles hum my
name and flare their nostrils
Choking on the bones you toss to them
Well I'm not one to sit and spin
'Cause living well's the best revenge
Baby, I am calling you on that

You savour your dying breath
Well, I forgive but I don't forget
You work it out, let's hear that argument again
Camera three... GO NOW!

All your sad and lost apostles hum my
name and flare their nostrils
Choking on the bones you toss to them
Well I'm not one to sit and spin
'Cause living well's the best revenge
Baby, I am calling you on that
Baby, I am calling you on that
Baby, I am calling you on

Saw you stretched out in Room Ten-0-nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.
Oh, couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love.
Berber jewelry jangling down the street,
Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet.
Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love.

May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Make every song you sing your favourite tune.
May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Warm, like the evening sun.

When you're drunk in the alley, with your clothes all torn
And your late-night friends'll leave you in the cold, grey dawn.
Just had seen too many flies on you
I just can't brush them off.

And the angels all beating their wings in time,
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.
Thought I heard one sigh for you,
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now

May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Make every song you sing your favourite tune.
May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Warm, like the evening sun.

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer

When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his life
In the middle of summer
(Summer)

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
All was golden when the day met the night

So he said, "Would it be alright,
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time
I give you this smile?"

So she said, "that's ok,
As long as you can make a promise not to break
My little heart or leave me all alone
In the summer"

Well he was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out
Just hanging around and he fell in love

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

Summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer
Summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer
Summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer
Summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of...

Everybody wants the same thing, don't they?
They wanna have a happy end
They wanna watch the game on Saturday
They wanna be somebody's friend

- Steven Van Zandt ("Solidarity")

I'm totally going to see it in Imax.

Dude, even though I'm not feeling well, I think I'm there for the 10:15 showing tomorrow morning (there's an IMAX less than half-a-mile down the street). I even checked out buying a ticket online, but I don't keep a printer at home.

the sky is not the same
shade of blue
every single thing
i believe isn't true

missing in a maze
of monochrome
how did i get here?
how can i go home?

the echoes in my eyes
of all they used to see
burning down the world
the ashes and debris
and all thats left of me
non-entity

tried to stand in line
tried to obey
the ghosts of what i was
keep getting in the way

staring at the sun
blinded by the light
now i'm afraid i'm fading out of sight

the echoes in my eyes
of all they used to see
burning down the world
the ashes and debris
and all thats left of you
and all thats left of me
all have washed away
non-entity

There are people in this country who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay
And it's time a few of them were recognized

Hello Detroit auto workers, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who swings the hammer, driving home the nail
Or the one behind the counter, ringing up the sale
Or the one who fights the fires, the one who brings the mail
For everyone who works behind the scenes

You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields
In the city streets and the quiet country towns
Working together like spokes inside a wheel
They keep this country turning around

Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line
Hello West Virginia coal miner, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the road
Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load
Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol
For everyone who works behind the scenes

With a spirit you can't replace with no machine
Hello America let me thank you for your time

JuliePurplehead said:

Let me say thank-you to those who love many
Let me say thank-you to those who still play fair
Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit
Let me say thank-you to all you people out there
Out there

Let me say grace for those who don't feel they matter
May God look down on all the soldiers of this Earth
Trying to find peace in this world that house so many
Let me say grace for those who feel lost from birth
Lost from birth

Let's give a smile for those who feel that they have nothing
Let me shake the hand of Johnny Doe out on the street
Let's give a wink for those girls who don't feel pretty
Let's find some water for those who need a drink
Need a drink

And when I see so many broken and lonely
Soon to be entering Heaven's door
Let me count the ways
Let me count the blessings
That no man should feel lonely anymore

Let me say good luck to the people raising families
Let me say thank-you to the men who grow the bread
And here's to dreams of a bigger, brighter future
And that we all got someone to keep the stones from our bed

Let me say thank-you to those who love many
Let me say thank-you for those who still play fair
Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit
Let me say thank-you to all you folks out there
All you people out there

I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me and
See their sunlit dream
I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For a love that never comes
From someone who does not exist

And that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

Let me live
Before I die
No not me
Not I

I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on their deathbed said
"There are other souls, too"

I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
So yes there are things worse in life than
Never being someone's sweetie

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

As for me I'm okay
For now anyway...

I've been lost inside my head,
Echoes fall off me.
I took the prize last night for complicatedness
For saying things I didn't mean and don't believe.

Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me and make me something
I've become the hollow man,
Have I become the hollow man I see?

Mmmmmm I see...This echoing.

You have placed your trust in me.
I went upside-down.
I emptied out the room in thirty seconds flat,
I can't believe you held your ground.

Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me and make me something
I've become the hollow man,
Have I become the hollow man I see?

I'm overwhelmed, I'm on repeat,
I'm emptied out, I'm incomplete.
You trusted me, I want to show you
I don't want to be the hollow man.

Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me and make me something
I've become the hollow man,
Have I become the hollow man I see?
I see...

Written in the wake of 9/11:



Shirt's in the closet, shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Coffee cups on the counter, jacket's on the chair
Paper's on the doorstep, but you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Picture's on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, you're missing

You're missing when I shut out the lights
You're missing when I close my eyes
You're missing when I see the sun rise
You're missing

Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?

Morning is morning, the evening falls
I've go too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
"How's everything, everything?"
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing

God's drifting in heaven, devil's in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops

Mars23 is my new Org BFF.

Mama never cared much 'bout dreams
Or love
She said it reminded her of my daddy
My daddy
He loved to fly
He'd say

Death will come fast
I wanna be free
And closer to the sky
Love grows cold,
Lonely and tired
On the wings of angels
I want to fly

Daddy's just the blood in my veins
Shadows in my mind
As i'd watch my mama drown in her tears
He'd say

“i can't promise you love
And I can't promise you me”
In my heart of hearts
I yearn to fly

And death will come fast
I wanna be free
And closer to sky
Love grows cold,
Lonely and tired
On the wings of angels
I want to fly
I want to fly
I yearn to fly

And death will come fast
Death will come fast
I yearn to fly

"Monster Love" by Goldfrapp

I never thought I would return
To be consumed by you again
Think you're cured
You'd see it come
The folly of a monster love like you

Grey is good
The light is good
We went down to Hollywood
You only get one chance in Tinsel Town

I save the part
The sweetest part
Shook for you

Everything comes around
Bringing us back again
Here is when we start
And where we end

I never thought I would return
To be consumed by you again
But I know a papermoon
The folly of a monster love like you

The pavement smell just after rain
The sun leaps out, it's clear again
I told you how I felt the earth could move
The folly of a monster love like you

Everything comes around
Bringing us back again
Here is when we start
And where we end

Everything comes around
Bringing us back again
Here is when we start
And where we end...

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off,
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to The Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did
The next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you're down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Do You Know What I'm Seeing?

Clouds are marching along
Singing a song, just like they do
If the clouds were singing a song
I'd sing along, wouldn't you too?
If you just knew what they could do
Oh, if you just knew
What would they do?

And if the birds are just hollow words
Flying along, singing a song
What would they do?
If they just knew what they could do
Oh, if they just knew

I know it's sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
And it never gave a damn about me
I know it's sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
And it never gave a damn about me
No, it never gave a damn about me

I know it's mad
But if I go to hell
Would you come with me?
Or just leave?

I know it's mad
But if the world were ending
Would you kiss me?
Or just leave me?
Just leave me?

Clouds are singing a song
Marching along, just like they do
If the clouds were playing a song
I'd play along, wouldn't you too?
If you just knew what they could do
Oh, if you just knew
What would they do?

And if words are just hollow birds
Flying along, singing a song
What would they do?
If they just knew what we could do
Oh, if they just knew

I know it's sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
And it never gave a damn about me
I know it's sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
And it never gave a damn about me
No, it never gave a damn about me

I know it's mad
But if I go to hell

-Panic at the Disco

When we look back at it all as I know we will
You and me, wide eyed
I wonder...
Will we really remember how it feels to be this alive?

And I know we have to go
I realize we only get to stay so long
Always have to go back to real lives
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we belong

When we think back to all this and I'm sure we will
Me and you, here and now
Will we forget the way it really is
Why it feels like this and how?

And we always have to go I realize
We always have to say goodbye
Always have to go back to real lives

But real lives are the reason why
We want to live another life
We want to feel another time
Another time...

Yeah another time

To feel another time...

When we look back at it all as I know we will
You and me, wide eyed
I wonder...
Will we really remember how it feels to be this alive?

And I know we have to go
I realize we always have to turn away
Always have to go back to real lives

But real lives are why we stay
For another dream
Another day
For another world
Another way
For another way...

One last time before it's over
One last time before the end
One last time before it's time to go again...

eleven eleven said the clock as i pulled it around
the foreign days and understanding
a way out would be nice,
i'll have your good advice
went up the block
making the scream 12 after
some days the walls look greener
(cause they can fetch a dime)
hung, unsafe for days you can't be weaker waiting
and even if bugs turn into people who ask
'are you all right?'
say yes and smile
it's now the outcome of every day,
weaker days await.

even if the bugs turn to people who ask
'are you all right?
just say yes and smile
you've found the outcome of every day
weaker days await

Too much horror business
Driving late at night
Psycho '78
My bathroom is new

You, you don't go in the bathroom with me

Psycho '78
Twelve o'clock, don't be late
All this horror business
My mirrors are black

You don't go in the bathroom with me
With you

I'll put a knife right in you
I'm warning you
I'll put a knife right in you
I'm warning you
I'll put a knife right in you

Too much horror business
Drivin' late at night
Psycho '78
My bathroom is new for you

You, you don't go in the bathroom with me

I'm warning you
I'll put a knife right in you
I'm warning you
I'll put a knife right in you
I'm warning you

You, nobody can do
What I can do, no

You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from
me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it

black & white
by: alicia keys

black is only a color. white is only a color.
yeah i said it black and white are only a color
just because your skin color is black or white but
hat's not probably your race . your skin color can be brown but that doesn't mean your an African American you can be Hispanic.
just because your skin color is white doesn't mean your Caucasian you can be Irish .black and white are only a color not your race so if people come up and ask you if your black or white say no i am an african american or coucasian.

Author notes
it tells you that black and white are only a color not a race so dont be offended if they say your black or you are white.

Early morning without warning
Woke me with a scare
I had that dream again
That the sun was dead
Make me warm or take me home
Its so cold in here
Cant we meet somewhere
Is it winter there
Is it winter there
This winter

Meet me in the summer time
We can know the end
Sweet Virginia countryside
I will meet you then
Blood and lips and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep staring at the sun
Pray for summer's end

Come on over break my storm
Oceans overhead
Come inside my friend
In the night out there
Every moment we have stolen
All we had to share
No one wanted that
But you know I did
You know I did
This moment

Meet me in the summer time
We can know the end
Sweet Virginia countryside
I will meet you then
Blood and lips and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep staring at the sun
Pray for summer's end
