"my brain hurts a lot"

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 10:04:41 GMT

Pushing thru the market
square
so many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
we had five years left to cry in

News guy wept and told us
earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
then I knew he was not lying

I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse
it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things
to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head
hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them

A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheel of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
don't think you knew you were in this song

And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, that's all we've got

I SAW HER STANDING THERE
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Recorded live at Karlaplansstudion, Stockholm, 24 October 1963

WELL, SHE WAS JUST SEVENTEEN,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
AND THE WAY SHE LOOKED WAS WAY BEYOND COMPARE. (yeah!)
HOW COULD I DANCE WITH ANOTHER, OOH,
SINCE I SAW HER STANDING THERE.

WELL, SHE LOOKED AT ME,
AND I, I COULD SEE
THAT BEFORE TOO LONG I´D FALL IN LOVE WITH HER.
SHE WOULDN'T DANCE WITH ANOTHER, OOH,
SINCE I SAW HER STANDING THERE.

WELL, MY HEART WENT BOOM,
WHEN I CROSSED THAT ROOM,
AND I HELD HER HAND IN MINE.

WOH, WE DANCED THROUGH THE NIGHT,
YEAH, AND WE HELD EACH OTHER TIGHT,
AND BEFORE TOO LONG I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.
NOW I´LL NEVER DANCE WITH ANOTHER, OOH,
SINCE I SAW HER STANDING THERE.

OW! OW!

WELL, WE DANCED THROUGH THE NIGHT,
AND WE HELD EACH OTHER TIGHT,
AND BEFORE TOO LONG I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.
NOW I´LL NEVER DANCE WITH ANOTHER, OOH,
SINCE I SAW HER STANDING THERE,
SINCE I SAW HER STANDING THERE,
OH, SINCE I SAW HER STANDING THERE.

HEY! YEAH!

"Rode forty miles with some chickens in he back of a pick-up truck,
Rode with a man who smoked cigars and charged me half a buck.
Most folks thought I was crazy with nothin' much to do,
But they'd-a hitched a ride with both hands tied if they knew my Mary Lou.
Me and my RC, Me and my RC.
'Cause what's good enough for other folks
Ain't good enough for
Me and my RC...."

"YOU'RE A NIGHTMARE" ---- PULP

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 06:46:15 GMT

All day
I'm doing fine
'Cause there are things to pass the time
Smoke a cig and drink some tea
Watch a programme on TV
I just don't care where you are now
'Cause I'm sorted out, and how
I've got it all set up, you see
But when I close my eyes it happens to me

You're a nightmare
And you've made it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
And I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening to me

Well it stopped some time in May
Whilst you were still away
Was I in bed or on a bus?
Doing something pathetically ridiculous
I never noticed it at first
But when you came back it got worse
It's the idea of you, you see
When I close my eyes it happens to me

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
And I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening to me

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
You're a nightmare
Oh, and I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening, happening to me

Oh
Hotel bedroom birthdays
Sleep in factory hallways
I remember always
Yeah, hotel bedroom birthdays
And sleep in factory hallways
I remember always

Why do you keep on hanging round
Can't you see it gets me down?
'Cos when I look at you I see
Somebody I just don't want to be

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Yeah, you're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
And I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening to me

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Yeah, you're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
Oh and I just can't see
Why, why you should keep on happening to me

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Oh, you're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
Oh, and I just can't see
Why you're, why you're
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
Always hanging round
You're always hanging round

BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 06:37:25 GMT

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
when I said I'd like to
smash every tooth in your head

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
when I said by rights you should be
bludgeoned in your bed

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
now I know how Joan of Arc felt
as the flames rose to her Roman nose
and her Walkman started to melt

Bigmouth, bigmouth
bigmouth strikes again
and I've got no right to take my place
with the human race

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
now I know of Joan of Arc felt
as the flames rose to her Roman nose
and her hearing aid started to melt

Bigmouth, bigmouth
bigmouth strikes again
and I've got no right to take my place
with the human race

"ROCKET MAN" - ELTON JOHN

Sun, 20 Mar 2005 06:29:36 GMT

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...

"Happiness"
written by Eytan Mirsky
performed by Michael Stipe and Rain Phoenix

"It seems the things I've wanted in
My life I've never had.
So it's no surprise that living
Only leaves me sad.

Happiness, where are you?
I've searched so long for you.
Happiness, where are you?
I haven't got a clue.
Happiness, why do you have to stay
So far away... from me?

When I'm in despair and life has
Turned into a mess,
I know that I don't dare to end my
Search for happiness.

Happiness, where are you?
I've searched so long for you.
Happiness, where are you?
I haven't got a clue.
Happiness, why do you have to stay
So far away... from me?

Happiness, sometimes I think
I see you from afar.
When I run to catch you, though,
That's just not where you are.

Happiness, you know I'll get a hold of
You some way.
Until I do, you know I'll keep on
Searching every day.

Happiness, where are you?
I've searched so long for you.
Happiness, where are you?
I haven't got a clue.
Happiness, why do you have to stay
So far away... from me?

Gonna find it, gonna find it,
Gonna find my happiness.
Gonna find it, gonna find it,
Gonna find my happiness.

When I'm in despair and life has
Turned into a mess - gonna find it -
I know that I don't dare to end my
Search for happiness - gonna find my...

Happiness, where are you?
I'm gonna get to you.
Happiness, where are you?
I'll know before I'm through.
Happiness, you know you just can't stay
So far away... from me.

Gonna find my - Happiness where are you?
Gonna find it - I'm gonna get to you.
Gonna find my - Happiness what are you?
Gonna find it - I'll know before I'm through."

FALLING AWAY WITH YOU --- MUSE

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 18:19:21 GMT

I can’t remember when it was good
Moments of happiness elude
Maybe I just misunderstood
All of the love we left behind
Watching the flash backs intertwain
Memories I will never find
Whatever you've become
Forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun
1. And I’ll feel my world crumbling down
Feel my life crumbling now
Feel my soul crumbling away
Falling away
Falling away with you
Staying awake to chase the dream
Tasting the air you’re breathing in

I hope I won’t forget a thing
I wish to hold you close and pray
Watching a fantasy decade
Nothing will ever stay the same
And all of the love we threw away
And all of the hopes we’ve cherished fade
Making the same mistakes again
Making the same mistakes again
And I’ll feel my world crumbling down
Feel my life crumbling now
Feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you
All of the love we left behind
Watching the flash backs intertwain
Memories I will never find
Memories I will never find

"MODERN DANCE" ----LOU REED

Fri, 05 Nov 2004 02:41:45 GMT

Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam
in a side street in a big canal
spend my evenings in the Van Gogh Museum
what a dream, Van Gogh Museum

Maybe its time to see Tangiers
a different life-style some different fears
and maybe I should be Edinburgh
in a kilt in Edinburgh

Doin' a modern dance
doin' a modern dance

Or maybe I should get a farm in Southern France
where the winds are wispy and the villagers dance
and you and I we'd sleep beneath a moon
moon in June and sleep till noon

And maybe you and I could fall in love
regain the spirit that we once had
you'd let me hold you and touch the night
that shines so bright, so bright with fright

Doin' a modern dance
doin' a modern dance

Shit, maybe I could go to Yucatan
where women are women, a man's a man
ah, no one confused, ever loses place
with their place in the human race

Maybe I'm not cut out for city life
the smell of exhaust, the smell of strife
and maybe you don't wanna be a wife
it's not a life being a wife

Doin' a modern dance
doin' a modern dance

So maybe I should go to Tanganyika
where the rivers run, down mountains tall and steep
or go to India to study chants
and lose romance to a mantra's dance

I need a guru, I need some law
explain to me the things we saw
why it always comes to this
it's all downhill after the first kiss

Maybe I should move to Rotterdam
maybe move to Amsterdam
I should move to Ireland, Italy, Spain
Afghanistan where there is no rain

Or maybe I should just learn a modern dance
where roles are shifting the modern dance
you never touch you don't know who you're with
this week, this month, this time of year
this week, this month, this time of year

Doin' a modern dance
you don't know who you're with modern dance
I should move to Pakistan, go to Afghanistan
Dance, you don't know who you're with
dance, you don't know who you're with
modern dance
And maybe you don't wanna be a wife
it's not life being a wife
doin' a modern dance
you never touch you don't know who you're with
Dance, modern dance
the roles are shifting dance
you never touch you don't know who you're with
Dance, modern dance
maybe you don't wanna be a wife

"EVIL WILL PREVAIL" --- THE FLAMING LIPS

Wed, 03 Nov 2004 19:18:18 GMT

With Loving hands and their arms are stretched so wide they can't
seem to take a breath knowing evil will prevail, and a million people
seems
like a lot, and a million people can't be wrong...

With loving smiles, and their mouths are stretched so wide they can't
even
take a breath, knowing evil will prevail, and the magic bullet is the
glowing mother ship, and the mother zaps you dead...

with loving hands knowing evil will prevail
knowing evil will prevail
knowing that evil will prevail
knowing evil will prevail
knowing that evil will always win...

Poor Poor Pitiful Me ---- Warren Zevon

Mon, 18 Oct 2004 01:05:21 GMT

I'd lay my head on the railroad tracks
And wait for the Double "E"
But the railroad don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me

Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
I ain't naming names
She really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender

Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me

Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it

Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me

(Well, I met a girl from the Vieux Carre`
Down in Yokahama
She picked me up and she throwed me down
I said, "Please don't hurt me, Mama")

I'M AGAINST IT

Sun, 01 Aug 2004 03:52:41 GMT

Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like politics
I don't like communists
I don't like games and fun
I don't like anyone

Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like Jesus freaks
I don't like circus geeks
I don't like summer and spring
I don't like anything

I don't like sex and drugs
I don't like water bugs
I don't care about poverty
All I care about is me

Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like playing ping pong
I don't like the Viet Cong
I don't like Burger King
I don't like anything

And I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

FOR BRAD.....

ICE CREAM MAN --- TOM WAITS

Wed, 14 Jul 2004 07:45:57 GMT

Clickin' by your house about two forty-five
With Sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise,
I got a cherry popsicle right on time
I got a big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind

'Cause I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, baby, I'll be good to you.

If you missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret
Come back around and don't forget,
When you're tired and you're hungry and you want something cool,
Got something better than a swimming pool

'Cause I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.
'Cause I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.

Well if you see me coming, you ain't got no change
Don't worry baby, it can be arranged
Show me you can smile, baby just for me
Fix you with a drumstick, I'll do it for free

'Cause I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, and I'll be good to you.
Be good to you, be good to you,
I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, and I'll be good to you
I'm your ice cream man, and I'm your ice cream man
I'm your ice cream man, and I'm your ice cream man
I'm your ice cream man, and I'm your ice cream man ...

BABIES

Thu, 03 Jun 2004 05:32:53 GMT

Well it happened years ago, when you live on Stanhope Road,
We listened to your sister, when you came from school
‘Cos she was two years older and she had boys in her room
I listened outside, I heard her, all right...
Well that was all right for a while, but soon I wanted more
I wanted to see as well as hear and so I hid inside her wardrobe
Yeah, she came home ‘round four, and she was with some kid called David
From the garage up the road,
I listened outside, I heard her, all right

Oh I wanna take you home, I wanna give you children, Yeah you might be my girlfriend
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

When I saw you next day, I really couldn’t tell,
‘Cos you might go and tell your mother
And so you went with Neve, oh yeah, Neve was coming on,
And I thought I heard you laughing when his mum and dad were gone
I listened outside. I heard you, all right.

(Chorus)

Oh well I guess it couldn’t last too long
I came home one day and all her things were gone
I fell asleep inside, I never heard her come,
Oh I opened up the wardrobe and I had to get it on, yeah,
Oh listen, we were on the bed when you came home
I heard you stop outside the door
I know you won’t believe it’s true
I only went with her ‘cos she looks like you

(Chorus)

Oh...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
Oh yeah...

OUT OF TIME

Thu, 03 Jun 2004 05:27:52 GMT

Where's the love song to set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way round
And I don't know what life would be
If we stop dreaming now
Lord knows we'd never clear the clouds

And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Feel the sunshine on your face
It's on a computer now
Gone to the future way out in space

And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time x 2

Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time
We're out of time
Out of time (x4)

HEY, THAT'S NO WAY TO SAY GOODBYE

Thu, 03 Jun 2004 05:19:17 GMT

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

SAVED BY THE BELL

Thu, 03 Jun 2004 05:14:03 GMT

When I wake up in the mornin',
And the 'larm gives out a warnin',
I don't think I'll ever make it on time,
By the time I grab my books,
And I give myself a look,
I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by!
It's alright 'cuz I'm saved by the bell.

If the teacher pops a test,
I know I'm in a mess,
And my dog ate all my homework last night,
Ridin' low in my chair,
She won't know that I'm there,
If I can hand it in tomorrow, it'll be all right!
It's alright 'cuz I'm saved by the bell.
It's alright 'cuz I'm saved by the bell.
