JAMES BLUNT?

KAYO?

Dear Ms. Hall,

Kindly formulate complete sentences when communicating with pimps.

your´s truly,

your Pimp.

IE: What´s your question?

[thaibebop]

I was quite surprised by this list... didn´t know our man was so prolific (and the are folk missing from it still....

I am surprised myself, but yes he is like Bob Dylan everybody covers him. As far as how much he has written, so much. He as been at it since the mid 70's. Most people don't like his voice but when other people sing his stuff they have no problems. I like his voice, part of his charm. Like Leonard Choen, only I like Waits more.

[kayo]

a very large big fat DITTO... same same my friend. Waits is one of the best..

I´ve always enjoyed his songwriting, though admittedly, I enjoy his more "musical" days of the Asylum years best.

[kayo]

Here´s back onto the wsdom in music...

John Lennon:

As soon as you’re born they make you feel small

By giving you no time instead of it all

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool

Till you’re so ######ing crazy you can’t follow their rules

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Then they expect you to pick a career

When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv

And you think you’re so clever and classless and free

But you’re still ######ing peasants as far as I can see

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

There’s room at the top they are telling you still

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

Nice.

Bad Religion

Better Off Dead

I'm sorry

about the sun

how could I know that you'd get burned

And I'm sorry

about the moon

how could I know you'd disapprove

I'll never make the same mistake

the next time I create the universe

I'll make sure we communicate at length

just to play it safe

but until then....

better off dead, a smile on the lips

and a hole in the head

better off dead

yeah better than this

take it away cause there's nothing to miss

I'm sorry

about the world

how could I know you's take so bad

and I'll never make the same mistake

the next time I create the universe

I'll make sure you particapate

But until then....

better off dead,

why don't you try pushing daisies instead

better off dead yeah better than this

take it away cause there's nothing to miss

The next time I create the universe

I'll make sure we communicate

just in case.

One missing band is "the piano has been drinking", a German band that made excellent covers in the dialect of Cologne area.

My Mood today, courtesy of the rolling stones..

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black

With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

Like a new born baby it just happens ev’ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black

I see my red door and it has been painted black

Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts

It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin’ sun

My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Yeah!

[thaibebop]

One of my faves!

[kayo]

eternal life is now on my trail

got my red glitter coffin man, just need one last nail

while all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games

there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names

and as your fantasies are broken in two

did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you

you better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal

angel

racist everyman, what have you done

man, you've made a killer of your unborn son

crown my fear your king at the point of a gun

all i want to do is love everyone

and as your fantasies are broken in two

did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you

you better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal

angel

there's no time for hatred, only questions

what is love? where is happiness? what is life? where is peace?

when will i find the strength to bring me release?

tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said

man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead

and i've get a message for you and your twisted hel_l

you better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal

Wisdom of Jeff Buckley Song = Eternal Life

[Frosty]

" Life goes on, long after the thrill of liv'in is gone!" (John Mellincamp / 'Jack and Diane')

[redrus]

Artist: Harold Melvin/The Blue Notes Lyrics

Song: Wake Up Everybody

Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed

No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead

The world has changed so very much

From what it used to be so

there is so much hatred war an' poverty

Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way

Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say

Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands

when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.

Chorus

The world won't get no better if we just let it be

The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me.

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well

They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hel_l

But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day

So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.

Wake up all the builders time to build a new land

I know we can do it if we all lend a hand

The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind

Surely things will work out they do it every time.

Repeat Chorus

redrus

* I can't help but have tears of happiness in my eyes when I read those words, the song it's self is even better.

Dead Skunk

Crossin' the highway late last night

He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right

He didn't see the station wagon car

The skunk got squashed and there you are!

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!

Roll up yer window and hold yer nose

You don't have to look and you don't have to see

'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog

On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog

Got yer dead wabbit and yer dead raccoon

The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

C'mon stink!

You got it!

It's dead, it's in the middle

Dead skunk in the middle!

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high heaven!

All over the road, technicolor man!

Oh, you got pollution

It's dead, it's in the middle

And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven

Whenever life gets you down Mrs.Brown, and things seem hard or tough, and people are stupid, obnoxious or daft and you feel that you've had quite enough....

Just remember that you're

standing on a planet that's

evolving

and revolving at 900 miles an hour,

that's orbiting at 19 miles a second,

so it's reckoned,

a sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,

are moving at a million miles a day

in an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,

of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars.

It's 100,000 light years side to side,

it bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick,

but out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide.

We're 30,000 lights years from galactic central point,

we go round every 200 million years,

and our galaxy is only one of millions of billions

in this amazing and expanding universe.

The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding

in all of the directions it can whizz,

as fast as it go,

at the speed of light you know,

12 million miles a minute,

and that's the fastest speed there is.

So, remember when you're feeling

very small and insecure,

how amazingly unlikely is you birth,

and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,

because there's bugger all down here on Earth.

SHOUT TO THE TOP! - The Style Council, (Paul Weller)

I was half in mind - I was half in need,

And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed

I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul,

I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all".

I was halfway home - I was half insane,

And every shop window I looked in just looked the same

I said send me a sign to save my life

'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in

these day's of mine

Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you

That I know as much as the day I was born

And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay

An) promise myself each and every day - that -

When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop

and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else

but to shout to the top - shout!

Shout to the top da da dadada, Shout to the top.......

The Double Life

How very simple life would be

If only there were two of me

A Restless Me to drift and roam

A Quiet Me to stay at home.

A Searching One to find his fill

Of varied skies and newfound thrill

While sane and homely things are done

By the domestic Other One.

And that's just where the trouble lies;

There is a Restless Me that cries

For chancy risks and changing scene,

For arctic blue and tropic green,

For deserts with their mystic spell,

For lusty fun and raising hel_l

But shackled to that Restless Me

My Other Self rebelliously

Resists the frantic urge to move.

It seeks the old familiar groove

That habits make. It finds content

With hearth and home dear prisonment,

With candlelight and well loved books

And treasured loot in dusty nooks,

With puttering and garden things

And dreaming while a cricket sings

And all the while the Restless One

Insists on more exciting fun

It wants to go with every tide,

No matter where… just for the ride.

Like yowling cats the two selves brawl

Until I have no peace at all.

One eye turns to the forward track,

The other eye looks sadly back,

I'm getting wall-eyed from the strain,

(It's tough to have an idle brain)

But One says "Stay" and One says "Go"

And One says "Yes," and One says "no,"

And One Self wants a home and wife

And One Self craves the drifter's life.

The Restless Fellow always wins

I wish my folks had made me twins.

Smile by Lily Allen:

when you first left me

i was wanting more

but you were ######ing that girl next door

whatd you do that for

when you first left me

i didnt know what to say

id never been on my own that way

just slept by myself all day

i was so lost back then

but with a little help from my friends

i found the light in the tunnel at the end

now youre calling me up on the phone

so you can have a little whine and a moan

and its only because youre feeling alone

at first when i see you cry

yea it makes me smile

yea it makes me smile

at worst i feel bad for awhile

but then i just smile

i go ahead and smile

whenever you see me

you say that you want me back

and i tell you it dont mean jack

no it dont mean jack

i couldnt stop laughing

no i jus couldnt help myself

see you messed up my mental health

i was quite unwell

i was so lost back then

but with a little help from my friends

i found the light in the tunnel at the end

now youre calling me up on the phone

so you can have a little whine and a moan

and its only because youre feeling alone

at first when i see you cry

yea it makes me smile

yea it makes me smile

at worst i feel bad for awhile

but then i jus smile

i go ahead and smile

Song: Be Thankful for What You Got Lyrics;

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac

Gangsta whitewalls

TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all

But remember brothers and sisters

You can still stand tall

Just be thankful for what you've got

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac

Diamond in the back, sunroof top

Diggin' the scene

With a gangsta lean

Gangsta whitewalls

TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all

But remember brothers and sisters

You can still stand tall

Just be thankful for what you've got

Diamond in the back, sunroof top

Diggin the scene

With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top

Diggin the scene

With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top

Diggin' the scene

With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac

Gangsta whitewalls

TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all

But remember brothers and sisters

You can still stand tall

Diamond in the back, sunroof top

Diggin' the scene

With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top

Diggin' the scene

With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

[instrumental Interlude]

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
