Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath


We sail through endless skies
stars shine like eyes
the black night sighs

The moon in silver trees
falls down in tears
light of the night

The earth, a purple blaze
of sapphire haze
in orbit always

While down below the trees
bathed in cool breeze
silver starlight breaks down the night

And so we pass on by the crimson eye
of great god Mars
as we travel the universe

Quote:

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
Oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you

I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Sorry, rewatched The Concert in Central Park tonight.

tool- H
What's coming through is alive.
What's holding up is a mirror.
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.

They're both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.

Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.

Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.

And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.

And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,

And considerately killing me.


I know. it's in my sig line, and you're sick of me linking TOOL lyrics. suck it. it's a great song

Ignite - Bleeding
-----------------
Bleeding
Bleeding
To my country
The mounting costs
Our freedom's lost
The death of liberty

We live in a Kingdom of reigns
The dogs of war rule the day
The hypocrites roam in gangs
The truth is lost because
It's wars first casualty

Speak the truth
If you've got something to say
To lead the boys off to war
Is to throw them away
Depleted rounds kill
RU-238
These troubled times
Bringing on our darkest days

Is this the death of liberty?
Is this the price that life has come to mean?
All our friends, now enemies
The misery of

Bleeding
Bleeding
To my country
The mounting costs
My freedom's lost
The death of liberty

Tell the truth
If you've got something to say
No blood for oil, killing fields
Halliburton money
Wounded troops left to rot
No help from the VA
These troubled times
Bringing on our darkest days

Is this the death of liberty?
Is this the price that life has come to mean?
All our friends, now enemies
The misery of

Bleeding
Bleeding
To my country
The mounting costs
My freedom's lost
The death of liberty

Speak the truth or Throw it away

Is this the death of liberty
Is this the price that life has come to mean
All our friends, now enemies
The misery of

Bleeding
Bleeding
To my country
The mounting costs
Our freedom's lost

Got on (yet another) a Haggard kick, and this one seems to fit really well, especially after last week's encounter:

"I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink"

Could be holding you tonight
Could quit doing wrong, start doin' right
You don't care about what I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink


Hey, puttin' you down, don't square no deal
Least you know the way I feel
Take all the money in the bank
I think I'll just stay here and drink

Listen close and you can hear
That loud jukebox playin' in my ear
Ain't no woman gonna change the way I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink

Hurtin' me now, don't mean a thing
Since lovin' you, don't feel no pain
My mind ain't nothin' but a total blank
I think I'll just stay here and drink, yeah




Man, I love me some Hag. Almost makes me wish I liked country music...

I hear this a lot on the store muzac channel, I always liked this song.

"Insensitive" by Jann Arden

How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere?

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive
Insensitive
Insensitive

How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush?
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again?

Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

"Smoke A Little Smoke"
by Eric Church



Turn the quiet up, turn the noise down
Let this ol' world just spin around
I wanna feel it swing, wanna feel it sway
And put some feel good in my soul
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke

Want a little more right, and a little less left
Little more right now, a little less what's next
Act like tomorrow's ten years away
And just kick back and let the feelin' flow
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke

I set my sails for a new direction
But the wind got in my way
I changed my course
But my definition of change
Just ain't the same

I'm gonna sit right here
Stay away from there
I'm gonna make pretend
I just don't care
And I could get up
Go get her back
Or maybe I'll just let her go
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke

Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke

Kick back, gives the blues a spin
Break out the wine, forget again
Dig down deep, find my stash
Light it up, take me back

Kick back, gives the blues a spin
Break out the wine, forget again
Dig down deep, find my stash
Light it up, memory crash

Oh no, I don’t know
Baby, it might take, all night
Then I’ll maybe break out that old rock and roll
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke

"She Used To Be Mine"

--Sara Bareilles


It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and it's patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used to be
Although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl

She's imperfect but she tries
She is good but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine

It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person
And makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew

Who'll be reckless just enough
Who'll get hurt but
Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
And gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of the life that's inside her
Growing stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone but it used to be mine

Used to be mine
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine

GHOST - Cirice

I feel your presence amongst us
You cannot hide in the darkness
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that’s calling?

I know your soul is not tainted
Even though you’ve been told so
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that’s calling?

I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you

A candle casting a faint glow
You and I see eye to eye
Can you hear the thunder?
Can you hear the thunder that’s breaking?

Now there is nothing between us
From now our merge is eternal
Can’t you see that you’re lost?
Can’t you see that you’re lost without me?

I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you

Can’t you see that you’re lost without me?

I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you

It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Syphilis
By John Valby

It's beginning to look a lot like syphilis all arround my nose.
I picked him up at the 5 and 10, he buttfucked me once and then,
He lodged a candy cane up my asshole.
It's beginning to look a lot like syphilis, boy is my ass sore.
But the prettiest sight to see is his pecker to his knees when I'm on all fours.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots is much too much to ignore.
First we will talk and then go for a walk but I hope he wants to do more.
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for me to fuck a whore.
It's beginning to look a lot like syphilis, but I still like boys more.
But the ugliest site to see is the canker that will be on my own back door.

Merry Christmas, fuckers.

The Buoys - Timothy


Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy...


Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

I met Jerry Hludzik, the dude who sang that, when I worked at a small record label in 2005.

I don't think they made much money from it as they were not the songwriter. Rupert Holmes wrote it. This is the Rupert Holmes who would go on to chart success a few years later with "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)".

Gravdigr 05-18-2016 10:30 AM

I still think 'piña colada' sounds like a medical procedure.

Ok, it was the bartender, not the waitress, but still...:jig:



I went home with a waitress the way I always do
How was I to know she was with the russians, too?

I was gambling in havana, I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Dad, get me out of this, hiyah!

An innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck between a rock and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck
Yes, I'm down on my luck
Well, I'm down on my luck

I'm hiding in honduras, I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The shit has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns, and money
Send lawyers, guns, and money

Send lawyers, guns, and money, hiyah!
Send lawyers, guns, and money, ow!



I was looking around for a ride home. The bartendress said she'd take me home. And then I drank for free for an hour waiting for her to clean up and close.:) And then she took me home.

Her home.

The times are tough now
Just gettin tougher
This old world is rough
It's just getting rougher

Cover me
Come on baby cover me

Well I'm lookin for a lover
Who will come on in and cover me

Promise me baby
You won't let them find us
Hold me in your arms
Let's let our love blind us
Cover me
Shut the door and cover me

Well I'm lookin for a lover
Who will come on in and cover me

Outside's the rain
The driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light
Bolt the door
I ain't goin' out there no more

This whole world is out there
Just trying to score
I've seen enough don't wanna see no more
Cover me
Come on in and cover me

I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

(some lyrics repeat until the end)
-----

I tend to retreat into this one when stressed (especially in winter). It took me until I was 32 to find someone who WOULD cover me when I felt attacked.

For my partner of 14 years come this July:

My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is when you're in the world

Wasn't That A Party

Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in

My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party?

Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to my old tom cat

They were talking about hockey
The cat was talking back
Long about then every-thing went black
Wasn't that a party?

I'm sure it's just my memory
Playing tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy
Cutting down my neighbor's tree

Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in

My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party?

Billy, Joe and Tommy
Well they went a little far
They were sittin' in the back seat, blowing on a siren
From somebody's police car

So you see, your honor
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
Was just to see if the cops could run

Well they run us in to see you
In an alcoholic haze
I sure can use those thirty days
To recover from the party

Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in

My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party?

Also, from Robert Plant's "Watching You" off the album 'Manic Nirvana':

Love on the wing, carry my prayer
Cherish this moment in times of despair
Over the mountains, over the sea
Angel of love, come back home to me

PUP LYRICS

"Dark Days"

This endless night
This funeral dirge
We celebrate life
At the end of the earth
When everything is gone
There'll be nothing left to lose

The ice is closing in
And nothing will remain
We took what we could get
And we burned it anyway

With all those secrets
We swore we'd take 'em to the grave
The light will falter and will fade
And in the darkness we'll say

This winter hasn't been so rough
Oh it was cold but still it wasn't cold enough
To freeze the blood beneath my spine
And at least I survived

We're sleeping through the days
And sinking like a ship
We're wasting away
Bit by bit

Everyone is gone
And everything is changed
It won't ever be the same
And when it's over we'll say

This winter hasn't been so rough
Oh it was cold but still it wasn't cold enough
To freeze the blood beneath my spine
And at least I survived

We've had some dark days
We're in the thick of it now
And when the ice breaks
There will be no one around

We've had some dark days
We're in the thick of it now
And when the ice breaks
There will be no one around

This winter hasn't been so rough
Oh it was cold but it wasn't cold enough
To freeze the blood beneath my spine
And at least I survived

This winter hasn't been so rough (We've had some dark days)
Oh it was cold but still it wasn't cold enough (We're in the thick of it now)
To freeze the blood beneath my spine (And when the ice breaks)
At least I'll survive

Nautical Disaster
The Tragically Hip
I had this dream where I relished the fray and the screaming filled my head all day.
It was as though I had been spit here,
Settled in,
Into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,
Off the coast of France, dear.
One afternoon,
Four thousand men died in the water here and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might in your blood.
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only,
Anything that systematic would get you hated.
It's not a deal not a test nor a love of something fated.
(Death)
The selection was quick,
The crew was picked and those left in the water were kicked off our pant leg and we headed for home.
Then the dream ends when the phone rings,
You're doing alright he said it's out there most days and nights,
But only a fool would complain.
Anyway Susan, if you like,
Our conversation is as faint as a sound in my memory,
As those fingernails scratching on my hull.

"...I relished the fray and the screaming filled my head all day."
"...kicked off our pant leg"
"...fingernails scratching on my hull."

Good lord, colorful prose, every line a picture, is the writer institutionalized?:eyebrow:

This is so literary and Gord's delivery so raw, I see why my Canadian SiL was crushed by his passing.

Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café.

"A pantoum is composed of quatrains: the second and fourth lines of the first stanza are the first and third lines of the second, and so on. In the final stanza, the last line is the same as the first line of the poem, and the third line is the same as the third line of the first stanza."


If we're so much the same like I always hear
Why such different fortunes and fates?
Some of us live in a cloud of fear
Some live behind iron gates

Why such different fortunes and fates?
Some are blessed and some are cursed
Some live behind iron gates
While others see only the worst

Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth

The golden one or scarred from birth
Somethings can never be changed
Such a lot of pain on this earth
It's somehow so badly arranged

Somethings can never be changed
Some reasons will never come clear
It's somehow so badly arranged
If we're so much the same like I always hear

Lurve me some Rush, I do.

But all too soon we hit the moon and covered up the sky
They built their bombs and aimed their guns and still I don't know why
The dominoes tumbled and big business roared
Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score
