[aylwin13]

You are a fluke of the universe.

You have no right to be here.
Deteriorata, Deteriorata

 

Go placidly amidst the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.

Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself; and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss - and when.

Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted, that in the face of all irridity and disillusionment, and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer maintenance.

 

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

 

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.

Know yourself.

If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you... that lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the seas of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love, therefore, it will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth: the birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan - and let not the sands of time get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time, call 606-4311, ask for Ken.

Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee.

 

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

 

Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you perceive him to be: hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate.

GIVE UP!

 

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

[death tribble]

I hear the roar of the big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methedrine

I hear your empire down

I hear your empire down

 

I hear the roar of the big machine

Two worlds and in between

Love lost, fire at will

Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear

Dive bombers, and

Empire down

Empire down

 

I hear the sounds of the city and dispossessed

Get down, get undressed

Get rid of you and me

We got the kingdom, we got the key

We got the empire, now as then

We don't doubt, we don't take direction

Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

 

We look hard

We look through

We look hard to see for real

Such things I hear, they don't make sense

I don't see much evidence

I don't feel. I don't feel. I don't Feel

 

A long train held up by page on page

A hard reign held up by rage

Once a railroad

Now it's done...

 

I hear the roar of the big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methedrine

I hear your empire down...

 

We got the empire, now as then

We don't doubt, we don't take reflection

Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...

[death tribble]

If all you've got to do today is find peace of mind

Come round you can take a piece of mine

And if all you've got to do today is hesitate,

Come here, you can leave it late with me.

 

You could be taking it easy on yourself

You should be making it easy on yourself,

'cause you and I know,

It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,

Racing through the best days,

It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,

Thinking you may be losing your mind.

 

If all you've got to prove today is your innocence,

Calm down, you're as guilty as can be,

But as all you've got to lose, alludes to yesterday,

Yesterday's through, now do anything you please.

 

You could be taking it easy on yourself

You should be making it easy on yourself

'cause you and I know,

It's all over the front page you give me road rage

Racing through the best days,

It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,

Thinking you may be losing your mind.

You're losing your mind.

 

You, you've been racing through the best days

You, you've been racing through the best days.

Space age, road rage, fast lane,

 

And if all you've got to do today is find peace of mind

Come here, you can take a piece of mine.

 

You could be taking it easy on yourself

You should be making it easy on yourself

'cause you and I know,

It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,

Racing through the best days,

It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,

Thinking you may be losing your mind.

 

But you and I know,

We all live in the space age, coming down with road rage,

Racing through the best days

It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,

Thinking you may be losing your mind.

It's not over, it's not over, it's not over,

It's not over, it's not over, it's not over, you and I know

We all live in the space age, you give me road rage,

Racing to the best days

It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,

Thinking you may be losing your mind.

Losing your mind

[death tribble]

I'd rather be liberated

I find myself captivated

 

Stop doing what you

Keep doing it too

 

I'd rather stay bold and lonely

I dream I'm your one and only

 

Stop doing what you

Keep doing it too

 

Things are getting strange I'm starting to worry

This could be a case for Mulder and Scully

Things are getting strange now I can't sleep alone

 

I'd rather be jumping ship

I find myself jumping straight in

 

Stop doing what you

Keep doing it too

 

Forever be dozy and dim

I wake myself thinking of him

 

Stop doing what you

Keep doing it too

 

Things are getting strange I'm starting to worry

This could be a case for Mulder and Scully

Things are getting strange now I can't sleep alone here

 

My bed is made for two

and there's nothing I can do

So tell me something I don't know

 

If my head is full of you

Is there nothing I can do

Must we all march in two by two by two

 

And as for some happy ending

I'd rather stay single and thin

 

(I'd rather be captured by aliens)

(Than wait for a man with nothing, oh)

 

Stop doing what you

Keep doing it to me

 

Things are getting strange I'm starting to worry

This could be a case for Mulder and Scully

Things are getting strange now I can't sleep alone here

 

Things are getting strange I'm starting to worry

This could be a case for Mulder and Scully

Things are getting strange now I can't sleep alone

 

So what have you got to say about that ?

And what does someone do without love ?

And what does someone do with love ?

And what have you got to say about that ?

[Pariah]

You know we really only wanna hear

The things we like to say

But if I said to you, please don't do it

You do it anyway

 

Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel

Be cruel to be kind

When I ask you, what you see in me

You say our love is blind

 

'Cause only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

 

Whenever I think I know you better

Better than I know myself

I open up and give you everything

Then you say, okay, what else?

 

And when I run away, you always cry

You always overreact

But I don't know if you know how you really feel

But you better know before I get back

 

'Cause only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

 

You told me, you told me

Please try to remember before I walk away

Remember

It's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday

 

'Cause only you know and I know

Only you know and I know

 

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

 

Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel

Be cruel to be kind

When I ask you, what you see in me

You say our love is blind

 

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

 

Only you know and I know

[death tribble]

Life goes on day after day

Hearts torn in every way

 

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

'cause this land's the place I love

and here I'll stay

 

People they rush everywhere

Each with their own secret care

 

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

and always take me there

The place I love

 

People around every corner

They seem to smile and say

We don't care what your name is boy

We'll never turn you away

 

So I'll continue to say

Here I always will stay

 

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

'cause this land's the place I love

and here I'll stay

and here I'll stay

Here I'll stay

[death tribble]

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind

Possessing and caressing me

 

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

 

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

They call me on and on across the universe

Thoughts meander like a restless wind

Inside a letter box they

Tumble blindly as they make their way

Across the universe

 

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

 

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing

Through my open ears inciting and inviting me

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns

And calls me on and on across the universe

 

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

 

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva...

[Greywind]

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found

I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me, you're everywhere
I'll always care

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

[Cancer]

Well it's one two three

What are we fighting for

I don't know and I don't give a damn

The next stop is Viet Nam

And five six seven

Open up the Pearly Gates

Ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee we're all gonna die

[death tribble]

(Hoh! Ah!) I hear something saying (Hoh! Ah!)

 

(Hoh! Ah!)(Well don't you know)

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

 

All day long they're singing (Hoh! Ah!)

 

(Well don't you know)

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

 

All day long they work so hard till the sun is going down

Working on the highways and byways and wearing, wearing a frown

You hear they moaning their lives away

Then you hear somebody say

 

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

 

Can't you hear them singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)

I'm going home one of these days

I'm going home, see my woman

Whom I love so dear

But meanwhile I gotta work right here

 

(Well don't you know)

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

 

All day long they're singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)

My work is so hard

Give me water

I'm thirsty, my work is so hard

Woah ooo

My work is so hard

[Greywind]

On a long road, miles to go
Its winding and cold and its covered with snow
But I ask you what we all want to know
Where are we going from here...

Lines on my face, lines on my hands
Lead to a future I don't understand
Some things don't go as they're planned...
Where are we going from here...

Tracing the trails through the mirrors of time
Spinning in circles with riddles in rhyme
We lose our way, trying to find
Searching to find our way home...
Trying to find our way home...

As the day dies, with tears in our eyes
There's too few hellos and too many goodbyes
Silence answers our cries...where are we going from here...

We're all on this road, with miles to go
Braving new pathways into the unknown
But who do you ask, when no one really knows
Where we are going from here...

[death tribble]

Trogdor !

Trogdor !

Trogdor was a man

I mean, he was a dragon man

Or maybe he was just a dragon

But he was still Trogdor !

Trogdor !

Trogdor !

Burninating the countryside,

Burninating the peasants

Burninating all the peoples

And their thatched-roof cottages !

Thatched-roof cottages !

Whoa, this has wicked dueling guitar solos

It's like squeedly versus meedley over here

Go squeedly !

Go squeedly !!

Squeedly wins !!!

When all the land is in ruins

And burnination has forsaken the countryside

Only one guy will remain

My money's on

 

Trogdor !

Trogdor !

And the Trogdor comes in the night . . .

[BoloOfEarth]

The ship is untried and you say she can't fly,
The chances are good she will not reach the sky,
But she has to be tested for space is the prize,
If you think none will take her just look in my eyes.

 

(refrain)
So show me the gantry, give me the ship,
Give me the fuel and I'll go on that trip.
Now if I return you can say I was bold,
But my place is in space as the heavens unfold.

I know I may die, that I may not return,
But just strap me in and I'm ready to burn,
My life I will pledge if my life be the fare,
For I need the long dark and the stars past the air.

 

(refrain)

If I live I'll be glad but that's not why I go,
For my heart is afire with the rocket's red glow;
My body knows grief although I have not been
To my home in the sky with the worlds never seen.

 

(refrain)

 

And if I should die in a bright burning flare,
Just take what you find and throw it in the air.
Don't grieve for my death, don't ask why for ten years,
Just build one more ship and ask for volunteers.

So show us the gantry, give us the ship,
Give us the fuel and we'll go on that trip.
Now if we return you can say we were bold,
But our place is in space as the heavens unfold.

 

(repeat final refrain)

[death tribble]

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,

Something's telling me I must go home.

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts

The day I left her standing on her own.

 

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,

Gotta do the things I wanna do.

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts

They brought me back to see my way with you.

 

Talk about the life in Massachusetts,

Speak about the people I have seen,

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts

And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.

 

I will remember Massachusetts...

[death tribble]

In the event of something happening to me

there is something I would like you all to see

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

 

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

 

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound

Maybe someone is digging underground

or have they given up and all gone home to bed

thinking those who once existed must be dead

 

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones ?

Do you know what it's like on the outside ?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

 

In the event of something happening to me

there is something I would like you all to see

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

 

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones ?

Do you know what it's like on the outside ?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

[Greywind]

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.

Leave the men where they lay
They'll never see another day
Lost my soul, lost my dream
You can't take the sky from me.

I feel the black reaching out
I hear its song without a doubt
I still hear and I still see
That you can't take the sky from me.

Lost my love, lost my land
Lost the last place I could stand
There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity

And you can't take the sky from me.

[Greywind]

Throughout history
There've been many songs written about the eternal triangle
This next one tells the story of a Mr Grayson, a beautiful woman
And a condemned man named Tom Dooley...
When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley... must hang...

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't a-been for Grayson
I'd a-been in Tennessee

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

Poor boy, you're bound to die
Poor boy you're bound to die
Poor boy, you're bound to die...

[Greywind]

Music makes pictures and often tells stories
All of it magic and all of it true
And all of the pictures and all of the stories
All of the magic, the music is you

Music makes pictures and often tells stories
All of it magic and all of it true
And all of the pictures and all of the stories
And all of the magic, the music is you

[death tribble]

Her green plastic watering can

For her fake Chinese rubber plant

In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man

In a town full of rubber plans

To get rid of itself

 

It wears her out, it wears her out

It wears her out, it wears her out

 

She lives with a broken man

A cracked polystyrene man

Who just crumbles and burns

He used to do surgery

For girls in the eighties

But gravity always wins

 

It wears him out, it wears him out

It wears him out, it wears him out

 

She looks like the real thing

She tastes like the real thing

My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling

I could blow through the ceiling

If I just turn and run

 

It wears me out, it wears me out

It wears me out, it wears me out

 

If I could be who you wanted

If I could be who you wanted all the time

 

All the time...

All the time...

[death tribble]

Wake.. from your sleep

The drying of your tears

Today we escape, we escape

 

Pack.. and get dressed

Before your father hears us

Before all hell breaks loose

 

Breathe, keep breathing

Don't lose your nerve

Breathe, keep breathing

I can't do this alone

 

Sing.. us a song

A song to keep us warm

There's such a chill, such a chill

 

You can laugh

A spineless laugh

We hope your rules and wisdom choke you

Now we are one in everlasting peace

 

We hope that you choke, that you choke

We hope that you choke, that you choke

We hope that you choke, that you choke

[death tribble]

Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love. OK ?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
Of odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me,
"It's no better to be safe than sorry."

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, things that you say. Yeah.
Is it life or just to play my worries away ?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)

 

[death tribble]

Let me inside you

Into your room

I've heard it's lined

With the things you don't show

Lay me beside you

Down on the floor

I've been your lover

From the womb to the tomb

I dress as your daughter

When the moon becomes round

You be my mother

When everything's gone

 

And she will always carry on

Something is lost

But something is found

They will keep on speaking her name

Somethings change

Some stay the same

 

Keep beckoning to me

From behind that closed door

The maid and the mother

And the crone that's grown old

 

I hear your voice

Coming out of that hole

I listen to you

And I want some more

I listen to you

And I want some more

 

And she will always carry on

Something is lost

But something is found

They will keep on speaking her name

Some things change

Some stay the same

[death tribble]

Oh, why you look so sad ?

Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

'cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

Nothing you confess

Could make me love you less

 

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

 

So if you're mad, get mad

Don't hold it all inside

Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?

I get angry too

Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads

And don't know which path to choose

Let me come along

'cause even if you're wrong

 

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you

 

And when...

When the night falls on you, baby

You're feeling all alone

You won't be on your own

 

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

 

I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

[death tribble]

I wake up everyday it's a daydream

Everything in my life isn't what it seems

I wake up just to go back to sleep

I act real shallow but I'm in to deep

And all I care about is sex and violence

And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence

Everybody says I got to get a grip

But I let sanity give me the slip

 

Some people think I'm bonkers

But I just think I'm free

Man I'm just living my life

There nothing crazy about me

Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free

Man I'm just living my life

There nothing crazy about me

 

Bonkers

 

I wake up everyday it's a daydream

Everything in my life isn't what it seems

I wake up just to go back to sleep

I act real shallow but I'm in to deep

And all I care about is sex and violence

And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence

Everybody says I got to get a grip

But I let sanity give me the slip

 

Some people think I'm bonkers

But I just think I'm free

Man I'm just living my life

There nothing crazy about me

Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free

Man I'm just living my life

There nothing crazy about me

 

Mmmmmmmm

 

I wake up everyday it's a daydream

Everything in my life isn't what it seems

I wake up just to go back to sleep

I act real shallow but I'm in to deep

And all I care about is sex and violence

And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence

Everybody says I got to get a grip

But I let sanity give me the slip

 

Bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon

 

Some people think I'm bonkers

But I just think I'm free

Man I'm just living my life

There nothing crazy about me

Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free

Man I'm just living my life

There nothing crazy about me

[death tribble]

Now the reason we're here

As man and woman

Is to love each other

Take care of each other

When love walks in the room

Everybody stand up

Oh it's good, good, good

Like Brigitte Bardot

 

Now look at the people

In the streets, in the bars

We are all of us in the gutter

But some of us are looking at the stars

Look round the room

Life is unkind

We fall but we keep gettin' up

Over and over and over and over and over and over

 

Me and you, every night, every day

We'll be together always this way

Your eyes are blue like the heavens above

Talk to me darlin' with a message of love

 

Now the reason we're here

Every man, every woman

Is to help each other

Stand by each other

When love walks in the room

Everybody stand up

Oh it's good, good good

Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

 

Talk to me darlin'
