"Behind Blue Eyes" No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool If I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat If I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes
"Bloodstream Runs" by Current 93 "As I descended with the Dogs Blood Rising, so then I ascended to the Thunder Perfect Mind. Great grey bloodspeckled slabs of slate have fallen - this is my vision in the croaking jeering world: All idiotic faces and swollen hearts; in the papers the faces are not real, in the world the faces are not real - but in the Heart of the Hearts the Face is real. The dead die abroad, the crows fly, the wolves fly, and four poorly painted cardboard horsemen sheet over the back of the winds. They are not legion - but closed. God walked on Earth in those days. Now, still, in my Hearts He walks still. In the green fields far away there is a solid tree (mother and the Sign she makes). On the brokenhorse zodiac signs, yellow face passes (All the Rainbow her arms were...). All books piled up in dirty heaps, craterlike surface, pitted - Oh, bellissima - Largherana - if the seahorse were golden, colden... Talking back the bloody streams of God's OwnPain: "Why should we have compassion for others, when God Himself has had no pity... on others?" "Take back the bloodspeech", she said to me... (certain colours came from her body; she is alone! God walked on Earth in those days. Now, still, in my Hearts He walks still. (And the brokenface of this horizoned world is covered by crystalcross ice; when this whole eyeless world sighs, this eyeless world sighs...) All the stars are souls each single planet is the lifeflame of the nothingy eternally spark. I cannot believe despite the evidence of one Godeye and one pooreye that this world is God's own bloodred grassgreen blueblack skypied Paradise. When I lay in the arms of one woman I said to her silent: "You will be forever mine though You go as You shall though You diediedie sleep as You shall die I shall love You always between Your bodies I pray that I shall be forever Thine if I say to You Love then Listen You shall be crowned above all." God walked on earth in those days now still in my Hearts He walks still"
all along the watchtower, tangled up in blue, The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, geez theres a lot
tool - lateralus i embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human most of the entire album to be honest, but this is the bit i really love right now
The choruses of kozmic blues by Janis Joplin: "but it don’t make no difference, babe, And I know that I could always try. There’s a fire inside everyone of us, You’d better need it now, I got to hold it, yeah, I better use it till the day I die." Don’t make no difference, babe, yeah, Ah honey, I’d hate to be the one. I said you’re gonna live your life And you’re gonna love your life Or babe, someday you’re gonna have to cry. Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed, Ah, baby, yes indeed.
"Hand Me Down World" by The Guess Who. Great song. Great, great song. Anybody here see the noise, see the fear and commotion I think we missed it Anybody here see the love, see the hate, the emotion Don't give me no hand me down shoes Don't give me no hand me down love Don't give me no hand me down world I got one already Anybody here see the long-distance cheer for the notion Well, I think we missed it Anybody here see the sky weepin' tears for the ocean Don't give me no hand me down shoes Don't give me no hand me down love Don't give me no hand me down world I got one already Anybody here see the fuzzy-wuzzy lovin' cup explosion I think we missed it Anybody here see the changing of the year and emotion Don't give me no hand me down shoes Don't give me no hand me down love Don't give me no hand me down world I got one already (Don't give me no hand me down world) I don't really need it and I'm not gonna take it (Don't give me no hand me down world) A-don't give it to me 'cause I really don't want it (Don't give me no hand me down world) I don't wanna take it and I really don't need it, no (Don't give me no hand me down world) I don't wanna take it and I really don't need it (Don't give me no hand me down world) I don't wanna take it, I don't wanna take it 'cause I really don't need it (Don't give me no hand me down world) You know I don't want it, know I don't need it (Don't give me no hand me down world) You know I don't want it, know I don't need it (Don't give me no hand me down world) You know I don't want it and I'm not gonna take it (Don't give me no hand me down world) I don't wanna take it 'cause I don't really need it (Don't give me no hand me down world) Just don't give it to me, don't wanna take it (Don't give me no hand me down world) Gimme no, gimme no, no-no no-no-no (Don't give me no hand me down world) Don't wanna take it 'cause I don't really need it {fade}

Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one. John Lennon - Imagine
From "Crystal Ship" by The Doors: "Deliver me from reasons why you'd rather cry, I'd rather fly". Also, the lyrics to "China Cat Sunflower" by the Dead are cool.
I told Althea I was feeling lost Lacking in some direction Althea told me upon scrutiny my back might need protection I told Althea that treachery was tearin me limb from limb Althea told me: now cool down boy - settle back easy Jim You may be Saturday's child all grown moving with a pinch of grace You may be a clown in the burying ground or just another pretty face You may be the fate of Ophelia sleeping and perchance to dream - honest to the point of recklessness self centered to the extreme Ain't nobody messin with you but you your friends are getting most concerned - loose with the truth maybe it's your fire but baby...don't get burned When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me: You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy There are things you can replace and others you cannot The time has come to weigh those things this space is getting hot - you know this space is getting hot I told Althea I'm a roving sign - that I was born to be a bachelor - Althea told me: Ok that's fine - So now I'm out trying to catch her Can't talk to me without talking to you We're guilty of the same old thing Talking a lot about less and less And forgetting the love we bring
