And I lift my glass to the awful truth
Which you can't reveal to the ears of youth
'Cept to say it isn't worth a dime

from "Closing Time", by Leonard Cohen

Rosebuds scattered across the lawn like the squares at Waterloo
With bayonets of thorns repelling small children in search of
lost tennis balls
Imaginary cannonballs that were fired at the legs of galloping
cavalry
Resting their dreams in the shade of the apple trees
Toy soldiers drunk on warm lemonade
And the children dream of glory and Fortunes of War
Safe in bed with stories of Fortunes of War, Fortunes of War

As the sun sets low on these playing fields
An army returns bearing swords and shields
Dustbin lids and raspberry canes they'll live to fight another
day
For warriors medals, milk bottle tops
Battle flags fashioned from mother's old table cloths
Bright colours run in the summer rain

Sometimes when they fall they will pretend that their hankie is
a bandage to stop the bleeding
And imagine city streets and desert storms and foreign fields
There's bullets flying, these are the Fortunes of War

I heard a wheelchair whisper across a stale, stagnant gymnasium
Trailing an ivy league jacket like a matador
Through the jitterbug steps of the night before
I followed him down to the church parade
Where he makes his peace every armistice day
I watched him fade away, melt in the autumn rain

For sometimes when they fall they can't pretend
That the hankie is a bandage that can't stop the bleeding
They're out in city streets and desert storms or foreign fields
With bullets flying, these are the Fortunes of War
While their children dream of glory and Fortunes of War
Safe in bed with stories and Fortunes of War
Of uniforms and glory, Fortunes of War, Fortunes of War

Definitely in a Fish mood at the moment:

Listen to me
Just hear me out
If I could have your attention
Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd
I get so confused and I don't understand
I know you feel the same way you've always wanted to say
But you don't get the chance
Just a voice in the crowd

I don't know the score anymore
It's not clear anymore
I can't tell right from wrong anymore
I just don't understand
I was sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for old
Like changing the channels on TV
Or the dirt that we stand in to gold

When I was young
My father told me just bad guys die
At the time just a little white lie
It was one of the first but it hurt me the most
And the truth stung like tears in my eyes
That even the good guys must die
There's no reasoning no crimes and I never knew why
Even now it still makes me cry

If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
Just some answers to the questions that surround me now
If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
Just some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
I keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Where nothing here is ever what it seems
You stand so close but you never understand it
For all that we see is not all that it seems, am I blind?

And you sit there and talk revolution
But can you tell me just who's in command?
When you tell me the forces we're fighting
Then I'll join you and gladly make plans
But for now only our t-shirts cry freedom
And our voices are gagged by our greed
Our minds are harnessed by knowledge
By the hill and the will to succeed
And if that's not what you believe
Would you just let me know
I'm not standing alone
That I'm not just a voice in the crowd

If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
Just some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
If there's somebody up there, just throw me down a line
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
Just some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
I'll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Where nothing is exactly how it seems
You're reaching out, you're so close you can touch it
But it all disappears when it's always so near
But one day we will find that we stand in the light
Until then I'll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Nothing here is ever what it seems
I'm scared to shout in case I draw attention from the powers
That preside over our minds and our lives
When they find what I want is the deadliest weapon, that istruth

Day by day it's getting louder
And day by day it's getting stronger
But when I can't scream no more and I need reassurance,
I listen to the crowd

And the boy stood and stared at the hill
And the hill - it stared back

my room is filled with candles,
each one a story,
but they end the same..."

Disposable Heroes by Metallica

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant `til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Just do as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away

Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you wear, glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Just do as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away

Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Just do as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away

Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman

Back to the front.


(possibly my favorite song of all time)

I may be there
Maybe try to comfort me with
My vacant stare
That hangs above your vacant chair

Your eyes are lost in mine
Or are they my eyes lost in yours?
I try to entwine
The wonder that we have there

Oh, no, no, dear
Have you been coming here again?
Listening to me singing
Or is it me singing loud and clear and
I was not without you
Though I tried so hard to be you
No, no, not without you
I'm being very good at being you but
All the times that we shared
I knew that my eyesight was being impaired
I knew something was wrong
And I soon found out it was bad...

And everything I do
Seems to be reflecting you
I try my hand at work
But work seems to be for an earlier person
I'm not too late
Please don't leave me out there
You say you're not too late
To come and hear me singing
All the time
I knew that all the time
I was there singing
I was there singing
But you never knew
All the times I spent being you
To make up for you not being here
All those times that we shared...

Marillion, "Easter"

A ghost of a mist was on the field
The grey and the green together
The noise of a distant farm machine
Out of the first light came
A tattered necklace of hedge end trees
On the southern side of the hill
Betrays where the border runs between
Where Mary Dunoon's boy fell

Easter here again, a time for the blind to see
Easter, surely now can all of your hearts be free

Out of the port of Liverpool
Bound for the North of Ireland
The wash of the spray and horsetail waves
The roll of the sea below

And Easter here again, a time for the blind to see
Easter, surely now can all of your hearts be free

What will you do?
Make a stone of your heart?
Will you set things right?
When you tear them apart?
Will you sleep at night?
With the plough and the stars alight?

What will you do?
With the wire and the gun?
That'll set things right
When it's said and done?
Will you sleep at night?
Is there so much love to hide?

Forgive, Forget
Sing "Never again."

Now everybody wants to prove how hip they are
So they borrow up the wanger and they buy a brand-new car
In the first three days, there's a dent in the trunk
By the time they pay it off, it's a piece of junk
When are they gonna' get smart?
Dodge Dart

I've got a brown '67 sedan, with a big, slant seat
Well, she burns a lot of oil, but she's mighty cheap to feed
She starts up easy when the engine's cold
The cops don't bug me, 'cause they think I'm old
She owns a little piece of my heart
Dodge Dart

Go, Little Dodgie
Go, Little Dodgie
You know, I like your style
Go, Little Dodgie
Go, Little Dodgie
Another 50,000 Miles !

So please don't brag about that brand-new car you own
'Cause I can drive to Argentina for the interest on your loan
She's got four bald tires and a hole in the seat
But with her lifters clickin', she's the Queen of the Street
I'll drive her 'til she falls apart
Dodge Dart

And I know it's a nightmare
To be sounds on the radio
To be stuck in a small town
Where you two are the only ones
We still blame rock & roll!"

Lily Allen "The Fear"

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever. I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fu*#loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they’re trying to find them

And I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous
I’ll look in the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track. Yeah, I’m on to a winner

I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
And I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by the Fear

Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn’t matter ‘cuz I’m packing plastic
And that’s what makes my life so fu*#ing fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it’s not my fault; It’s how I’m programmed to function
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track. Yeah, we’re on to a winner

I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
And I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by the Fear

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
‘Cuz I’m killing ‘em all on my own little mission
Now, I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
And everything’s cool as long as I’m getting thinner

I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
And I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by the Fear

Metric "Sick Muse"

Watch out Cupid
Stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life

You better watch out Cupid
Stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life
The one I'd better lead
All the blondes are fantasies

And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me". And looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C

Everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody just wanna play the lead

Watch out Cupid
Stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
And let me live my life

She said, "I'm with stupid"
Money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life
The one I'd better lead
All the blondes are fantasies

And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me". And looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you in harmony C

Everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody just wanna play the lead

When I was young, I would swing on a swing
And my cares would go flying so far and away.
The dreams I would dream would come crashing through
And the stars, they would cry for the last Red July.
Slow as the turtles would crawl, the sunset would bleed
And the mountains stood firmly in place.

When I was a child, and the music was blaring
Angels fled, fearing the last Red July
Mmmmm... Red July
Don't wanna' see another...
Not another Red running down my head
Thinking of all those sad, sad things we said
That July...

-- K.J. Denhert, "Red July"

There's a song that I sing
wherever I'm sad
feeling bad.
There's a place in my head
that I go
when I'm feeling low.

I can trust in the melody.
In this song I can find me.
Every since I've lost you I've been so lost too.
In our love there was harmony
and I wanted to see
this love through with you.

This Song is Familiar-Funkadelic

So what.

Kevin Gilbert, Goodness Gracious

Goodness gracious, is there nothing left to say?
When the ones that get to keep looking are the ones that look away
It's pabulum for the sleepers in the cult of brighter days

Goodness gracious, at the mercy of the crooks
We're broke and stroking vegetables and there's way too many cooks
In every pot a pink slip, in every mouth a hook

Goodness gracious, i'm not listening anymore
'Cause the spooks are in the white house and they've justified a war
So wake me when they notify we're gonna fight some more

Goodness gracious, not many people care
Concern is getting scarcer, true compassion really rare
I can see it on our faces, i can feel it in the air
Goodness gracious me

Goodness gracious, my generation's lost
They burned down all our bridges before we had a chance to cross
Is it the winter of our discontent or just an early frost?

Goodness gracious, of apathy i sing
The babyboomers had it all and wasted everything
Now recess is almost over and they won't get off the swing

Goodness gracious, we came in at the end
No sex that isn't dangerous, no money left to spend
We're the cleanup crew for parties we were too young to attend
Goodness gracious me

Goodness gracious my grandma used to say
The world's a scary place now, things were different in her day
What horrors will be commonplace when my hair starts to grey?

There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere.
There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere.
Better step aside, best take care
Keep an eye out and beware.
There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere.

It'll spin you around and keep you down
Tie your feet right to the ground.
'Cause it's got no soul, it's a big black hole
It'll mix you up and leave you out cold.

There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere.
There's a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere...

-- Los Lobos "Deep Dark Hole"
