[RLacey]

Spring is here, ah spring is here
Life is skittles,
Life is beer
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring,
I do, don't you? 'course you do
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes a evr'y Sunday a treat for me.

all the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
Ev'ry Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coimg the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide
The sun's shing bright,
Ev'ry thing seems all right
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games
They call it impiety
And lack or propriety
And quite a variety
Of unpleasent names

But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon!

so if Sunday your free
Why don't you come with me
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two
While we're poisoning the pigeons in the park

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriement
Except for the few we take home to experiment
My pulse will be quicknin'
With each drop of strick'nine
We give to a pigeon
It just takes a smigdeon!
To poison a pigeon in the park.

OK, but my less dark songs tend to be a bit much for some people.

DEVO - Jocko Homo

God made man
But he used the monkey to do it
Apes in the plan
We’re all here to prove it
I can walk like an ape
Talk like an ape
I can do what a monkey can do
God made man
But a monkey supplied the glue
We must repeat
O.k. let’s go!

Joan Jett - Bad Reputation

An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past
It's a new generation
An' I only feel good
When I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

The Offspring

Look at me I'm fallin'
Off of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling No No No
But the words mean nothing
Can't catch up to me now
And the view is so beautiful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Suckin' juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I don't know nothing
Still knowing nothing
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel
This is life
What a ****ed up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose

No Doubt - Different People

I often think about the world
In which I live today, of animals and plants
And nature's gifts set on display
But the most amazing thing
That I've seen in my time
Are all the different people
And all their different minds
And different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one's exactly the same

The sky is full of clouds and
My world's full of people
All different kinds with different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one's exactly the same

So many different people
So many different kinds
So many, many, many different people
So many different..
Look at me, I'm a person
Look at me, I'm my own person
So many different people
So many different kinds
For better or for worse, different people

The Vandals - Sorry, Mom and Dad

Well, you came into this world naked, screaming and covered in blood
who was there to wipe you off and give you your first hug?
And it took a couple years to figure out how to not shit in your pants
but someone was there to clean you up and powder off your rash
It's been them from the start, the ones you tortured and broke their hearts
the two that you hate- the two that you blame- the very same ones that
gave you your name

[Melanie68]

Been listening to a lot of Sarah McLachlan lately -

This song hits too close to home.

Stupid

Night lift up the shades
let in the brilliant light of morning
but steady me now
for I am weak and starving for mercy
sleep has left me alone
to carry the weight of unravelling where we went wrong
it's all I can do to hang on,
to keep me from falling
into old familiar shoes

how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see

love has made me a fool
set me on fire and watched as I floundered
unable to speak
except to cry out and wait for your answer
but you come around in your time
speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis
that dries up as soon as you're gone
you leave me here burning
in this desert without you

how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see

everything changes
everything falls apart
I can't stand to feel myself losing control
in the deep of my senses I know

how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see

how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see

Sneering and whispering and stealing your cars! Reading Pornography, smoking cigars!

Jazzie, please tell me who sings this song????

An ex-girlfriend of mine included it on a compilation tape she once made for me. Unfortunately I erased it a couple of years ago..

[SKOPE]

Crush by Anthrax. I listened to this song constantly for five years and still regularly listen to it. Best song ever.

Now you see me now you don't
Now you see me now you don't
Now you see me now you don't
Now you see me now you don't

Now you see me now you don't
Go before I am the goat

You get away with murder, kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you

You get away with murder, what do I have to do
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on

Pile your dead on top of me
Pile your dead on top of me
Pile your dead on top of me
Pile your dead on top of me

Pile your dead on top of me
Tape my eyes so I can't see

You get away with murder, kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you

You get away with murder, what do I have to do
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on

I've been waiting for today
I can't touch you when you're far away
Nothing makes me feel this way
Except hate but that fades away

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on

I've been waiting for today
I can't touch you when you're far away
Nothing makes me feel this way
Except hate but that fades away

Elvis Costello — Beyond Belief

History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies the same defeats
Keep your finger on important issues
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues

I'm just the oily slick
On the windup world of the nervous tick
In a very fashionable hovel

I hang around dying to be tortured
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel

So in this almost empty gin palace
Through a two-way looking glass
You see your Alice

You know she has no sense
For all your jealousy
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly

Charged with insults and flattery
Her body moves with malice
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous

And now you find you fit this identikit completely
You say you have no secrets
And then leave discreetly

I might make it California's fault
Be locked in Geneva's deepest vault
Just like the canals of Mars and the great barrier reef
I come to you beyond belief

My hands were clammy and cunning
She's been suitably stunning
But I know there's not a hope in Hades
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
So-called gentlemen and ladies
Dog fight like rose and thistle

I've got a feeling
I'm going to get a lot of grief
Once this seemed so appealing
Now I am beyond belief

Rosenstolz - Kassengift

Ich bin zu alt um jung zu sein ,
ich bin zu jung um alt zu sein,
fall durch aller Herren Raster,
sagen ja doch meinen nein.

Ich bin das Attribut der Schwerkraft,
bin das Synonym für "out",
kreuzigt mich für meine Laster,
ich bin meistens viel zu laut.

Ich bin nicht blond und mags von hinten
und von vorn' ist's mir auch recht,
les' gern Bukowski, selten Bibel,
bei Konsalik wird mir schlecht.

Ich liebe Kitsch und hasse Ordnung
wenn sie meine Seele stört,
fahr' nicht Auto, sondern Taxi,
hab' vom Zeitgeist nie gehört.

Ich bin der Song der nie gespielt wird,
ich bin das Video das nicht läuft,
ich bin der Film der kein Verleih hat,
werd' mit Verrissen überhäuft.

Und wenn ich lauf, dann lauf ich heimlich
zwischen 12 und Mitternacht.
Diese unverschämten Gene
haben mich zum Kassengift gemacht!

Ich brauch' am morgen erstmal Kaffee
und vom Frühstück wird mir schlecht,
und nach 20 Zigaretten
ist mein Lachen wieder echt.
Bei der Liebe werd' ich heiser
und bei Trauer werd' ich krank,
und für ungefragte Meinung
gibt es niemals von mir Dank.

[RLacey]

I hold your hand in mine - Tom Lehrer

I hold your hand in mine, dear,
I press it to my lips.
I take a healthy bite
From your dainty fingertips.

My joy would be complete, dear,
If you were only here,
But still I keep your hand
As a precious souvenir.

The night you died I cut it off.
I really don't know why.
For now each time I kiss it
I get bloodstains on my tie.

I'm sorry now I killed you,
For our love was something fine,
And till they come to get me
I shall hold your hand in mine.

[Sage]

Is that from the musical production of "Silence Of The Lambs"?

The excellent Tom Lehrer. Yes, so he did most of his work a few decades ago, but it's still great!

Hopefully my CDs of all his music will arrive tomorrow .

Everclear - Summerland

Let’s just drive your car
We could drive all day
Let’s just get the hell away from here
For I am sick again-
Just plain sick to death
Of the sound of my own voice
We could leave behind
Another wasted year
Just get some cheap red wine
And just go flying

We could do the things,
All the things you wanted to
No one cares about us anyway

I think I lost my smile
I think you lost yours too
We have lost the power to
Make each other laugh
Let’s just leave this place
And go to summerland
Just a name on the map
Sounds like heaven to me

We could find a town-
Be just how we want to be
No one here really cares
About us anyway
We could find a place-
Make it what we want it to be
No one really gives a ****
About us anyway
We could live-
Live just like we want to live
No one here really cares
About us anyway
We could be-
Everything we want to be
We could get lost in the fall
Glimmer sparkle and fade
The sparkle and fade
Fall glimmer sparkle and fade

Forget about our jobs at
The record store
Forget about all the losers
That we know
Forget about all the memories
That keep you down
Forget about them
We could lose them in the
Sparkle and fade
We could leave them behind
In the sparkle and fade
Yeah sparkle and fade
Fall glimmer sparkle and fade

WE WILL ALL GO TOGETHER WHEN WE GO - Tom Lehrer

When you attend a funeral
It is sad to think that sooner or
Later those you love will do the same for you
And you may have thought it tragic
Not to think of other adject-
Ives to think of all the weeping they will do
(But don't you worry)
No more ashes, no more sack cloth
And an arm band made of black cloth
Will someday never more adorn a sleeve.
For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and neighbors too
There'll be nobody left behind to grieve.

And we will all go together when we go,
What a comforting fact that is to know.
Universal bereavement,
An inspiring achievement,
Yes, we all will go together when we go.

We will all go together when we go.
All suffused with an incandescent glow.
No one will have the endurance
To collect on his insurance
Lloyds of London will be loaded when they go.

We will all fry together when we fry.
We'll be french fried potatoes bye and bye.
There will be no more misery
When the world is our rotisserie,
Yes, we all will fry together when we fry.

Down by the old maelstrom
There'll be a storm before the calm.

And we'll all bake together when we bake.
There'll be nobody present at the wake.
With complete participation,
In that grand incineration
Nearly three billion hunks of well-done steak.

We will all char together when we char.
And let there be no moaning at the bar.
Just sing out a Te Deum
When you see that I.C.B.M.
And the party will be "come as you are".

We will all burn together when we burn.
There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn.
When it's time for the fallout,
And Saint Peter calls us all out
We'll just drop our agendas and adjourn.

You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas
Go directly. Do not pass GO. Do not collect two hundred dolla's

And we will all go together when we go
Ev'ry Hottentot and ev'ry Eskimo
When the air becomes uranious
We will all go simultaneous
Yes we all will go together when we all go together
Yes we all will go together when we go
