Hey Jupiter ©? CD#: Artist - Title - time?

Hey Jupiter

no ones picking up the phone.
guess it's me and me
and this little masochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel and

Hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
and I thought you'd see with me
you would'nt have to be something new

sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writting on my wall
if my hearts soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

Hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
and I thought I wouldn't keep
with you hiding

thought I knew myself so well
all the dolls I had
took my leather off the shelf
your apocalypse was fab
for a girl who couldn't choose between
a shower or a bath

and I thought I wouldn't have to be
with you
a magazine

no one's picking up the phone
guess it's clear he's gone
and this little masochist
is lifting up her dress
guess I thought I could never feel
the things I feel
Hey Jupiter

Pale September ©? CD#: Artist - Title - time?

Pale September


Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
The autumn days swung soft around me like cotton on my skin
But as the embers of summer lost thier breath and disappeared
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full
And sank in the burrows of my keep

And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to the warm, as I'm singing him to sleep

He goes along just as a water lily
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Unwieghed down by passion or intensity
Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
And he finds a home in me
For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap

And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to the warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to the warm, as I'm singing him to sleep

Fake Plastic Trees ©? CD#: Artist - Title - time?

Fake Plastic Trees


Her green plastic watering can
for her fake Chinese rubberplant
in the fake plastic earth,
that she bought from a rubberman
in a town full of rubber plans
to get rid of itself,-
she lives with a broken man,
a cracked polyesterman
who just crumbles and burns.
he used to do surgery
for the girls in the eighties
but gravity always wins
and it wears him out.
she looks like the real thing.
she tastes like the real thing,
my fake plastic love.
but I cant help the feeling.
I could blow the through the ceiling.
if I just turn and run.
and it wears me out.
if I could be who you wanted all the time…

Child is Gone ©? CD#: Artist - Title - time?

The Child is Gone


Darling, give me your absence tonight
Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white
Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside
And don't bother leaving the light on
'Cuz I suddenly fell like a different person
From the roof of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
A vacancy that just did not belong
The child is gone

Honey help me out of this mess
I'm a stranger to myself
But don't reach for me, I'm too far away
I don't wanna talk 'cuz there's nothing left to say
So my
Darling give me you absence tonight
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
'Cuz there's no kind of loving that can make this alright
I'm trying to find a place I belong
And I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roof of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
As the darkness turns into the dawn
The child is gone
The child is gone

Merman ©? CD#: Artist - Title - time?

Merman


Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you're in Peppermint Land

He's a merman
He doesn't need your voice
He's a merman

Go to bed, dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman eternally
Doesn't need something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice

Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you found him - lala la
Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful?
Who could ever harm you?

Sleep now
You're my little girl

Go to bed, the priests are dead
And go singin' low again
Go to bed, past the apple orchard
And you'll feel nice
Two can play, I said, two can play

The Scottsman ©?
CD#: The Scottsman - time?
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evenin' fair,
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share,
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
Ring ding dildle-ildle aye-de-oh, ring di diddlie aye-oh,
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by,
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye,
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built,
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.
Ring ding dildle-ildle aye-de-oh, ring di diddlie aye-oh,
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see,
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
Was nothing more than god had graced him with upon his birth.
Ring ding dildle-ildle aye-de-oh, ring di diddlie aye-oh,
Was nothing more than god had graced him with upon his birth.

They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone,
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along,
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star the Scotsman’s kilt did lift and show.
Ring ding dildle-ildle aye-de-oh, ring di diddlie aye-oh,
Around the bonnie star the Scotsman’s kilt did lift and show.

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree,
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees,
And in his startled voice he says to what's before his eyes,
Oh, lad I don't know where you been, but I see you won first prize.
Ring ding dildle-ildle aye-de-oh, ring di diddlie aye-oh,
Oh, lad I don't know where you been, but I see you won first prize!

The Smashing Pumpkins - The Aeroplane Flies High


1979 |Thirty Three | Bullet with Butterfly Wings | tonite, tonite | ZERO |


THE AEROPLANE FLIES HIGH, TURNS LEFT, LOOKS RIGHT. THE AEROPLANE KNOWS THAT IT IS ALONE IN IT'S DRAMA BONES. MADNESS, PRECONCEPTIONS, RAY GUN LOGICS RUN AND SPIT AND RATIONALIZED UNTIL A WHOLE CHORUS OF MUG WUMPS, BLUE IN THE FACE FROM YELLING THEIR DIVISIVE MANTRAS, RUN OUT OF YOUNG BREATH AND JUST PLAIN GIVE IN TO THE SPIIT OF THE WHOLE DAMN APPLE. FACE IT, YOU LOVE IT, IT'S FUN FOR ONE AND ALL, AND FOR ALL YOU KNOW THE EARTH SPINS ON IT'S RUSTY AXIS JUST BECAUSE OF IT. THE AEROPLANE MOVES WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO OR NOT. CRAM PACKED WITH FUEL INJECTED JET MISSILE ACTION, THIS IS WAR MOTHERFUKER AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT FOR ONE SECOND. IT IS US VERSUS THEM, AND IF YOU'RE GIVING IN THEN YOU ARE GIVING UP. ALL THE NAMES DON'T MEAN SHIT. UGLY, BEAUTIFUL, PRENTENTIOUS, ARROGANT, OLD, TIRED, HAPPY, SELL OUTS, CAREERISTS, TRANCENDENT, HYPNOTIC, TRIPPY, SPELLBINDING, NUMB, EGOCENTRIC, SOLIPSISTIC, EMPTY, HOLLOW, SHALLOW, LOST, 70'S, 60'S, 80'S, 20'S, LONG WINDED, PHONY, GRAND, THE WORST, THE BEST, CREEPY, CRANKY, DESPERATE… THE AEROPLANE JUST FLIES HIGHER, FASTER, STRONGER. THERE ISN'T MUCH TIME FOR MAYBES, EVEN GOODBYES SOMETIMES, DUST SETTLES, THE ARCWELDERS COME OUT AND RECONSTUCT THE OBVIOUS, AND WE ARE ALL LEFT HOLDING THE BLUR. LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE A SENTIMENTAL WAY, YOU CAN VIVISECT IT ALL YOU WANT. BLOOD AND WILL ARE INDIVISIBLE. THE AEROPLANE FLIES HIGH, TURNS LEFT, LOOKS RIGHT. THE WORLD PISSES A SILVER STREAM TO LET YOU KNOW IT IS THERE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SLIPSTREAM OF COUNTLESS THOUGHTLESS THOUGHTS. IT SHATTERS AND DIVIDES INTO A MILLION FRAGMENTS BECAUSE LIFE IS NOT A LIFESTYLE CHOICE. WE ARE NOT A FASION ACCESSORY. MUSIC IS GOD'S BONES CREAKING PLEASURE, AMUSEMENT, EVEN OCCASIONAL APPROVAL. WE SALUTE YUOU ALL WITH A CRACK OF THE BAACK, A BASEBALL BAT AND A SMILE. GOD BLESS US ALL, FOR WHAT WE THINK AND FEEL IS ALL EE REALLY HAVE. BUT WHEN IS TOO FAR FAR ENOUGH. NO LIMIT THAT I EVER KNEW REALLY MATTERS. THERE IS STRENGTH IN THE DIRT OF YOUR GARDEN SORROWS, THERE ARE NO MORE TOMORROWS, ONLY BLISSED TODAYS, PURPLE AND IMMESURABLE IN STATURE AND STEALTH, BECAUSE THE SUN IS ALWAYS SNEAKING AROUND BEHIND YOUR SNEAKY BACK, YOU CAN HEAR US BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T WE WILL TURN IT UP TILL YOUR EARS BLEED NASCENT APPROVING HARMONY. IT'S ALL GOOD, AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT. THE FOURTH WALL IS DOWN AND DESERVES TO STAY DOWN, BECAUSE ALL YOU ARE REALLY WATCHING IN OTHERS IS YOURSELF, THE THIRD GENERATION T.V. REFLECTION. TIME IS NEVER Time AT ALL. THERE IS NO TIME, NO HEARTBEATS, NO BABIES, NO FRENCH FRIES, JUST SPIDER WEBS STRUNG TO OSCILLATE THE FEVER PITCH OF BLANDKIND, OOPS I MEAN MANKIND. ONCE THE SONIC DART LEAVES YOU FINGERS, IT IS HARD TO GET BACK. SCRATCH, SNIFF, OBSERVE, OBEY, DECEIVE, DISTORT, DISARM IT ALL, THE BOMB IS ON AND TICKING. WE KNOW BUT WE AIN'T TELLING ANYONE ANYTHING, BECAUSE WE KNOW NOTHIN. "T.V. GENERATION X.Y.U.," ZERO COMMAND CALLING, CAPT. COCONUT SOUNDS THE ALARM, EVERY BAND YOU EVER LIKED HAS REFORMED AND IS PLAYING ON A SINGLE BILL, ONE NIGHT ONLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN. ONCE IT IS GONE THERE IS NO GOING BAK, AND IT IS NEVER EVER THE SAME. WAVE TO THE MAGIC BALLOONS WITH OYUR NAMES ATTACHED, 5 ZILLION STORN CIRCLING THE PREDIOUS EARTH IN SEARCH OF A FRIEND IN SEARCH OF ANOTHER. I HOPE YOU ALL FIND WHAT YOU NEED IN WHATEVER HOLE YOU PEER DOWN, WHATEVER CLOUD YOU PEEK BEHIND, LET THE DISASTER DUKES MASTICATE ON THE GREEN GRASS OF HOPE AND LOVE. THIS YEAR IS THE MOST JOYOUS AND HAPPY, MOURNFUL AND SAD YEAR I HAVE KNOWN. LIFE IS GOOD BLEATS THE BLEATING HEART, AND IT KEEPS ON BLEATING LIKE AN 808. NEVER EVER FOREVER TOMORROW COMEWS, NEW DAWNS BLISTER, BEW SONGS TO BE SUNG. THE AEROPLANE FLIES HIGH, TURNS LEFT, LOOKS RIGHT. THE AEROPLANE KNOWS YOU KNOW, SINGS THE SONG OF TRUTH, OF REDEMPTION, OF SORROW. LOOK NO FURTHER THAN YOUR DIRTY FEET.

SO FROM THE HOUSE OF LONELINESS, WE SLEPT, WE ATE, WE DREAMED OF NOTHING, PLAYED MUSIC CEASELESSLY FOR 8 1/2 YEARS CLIMBING UP A HILL, STILL IN A WARM CLOUDY SLEEP WE AWOKE, ALL NUMB FINGERS AND DUMB LIPS. THE RIVER FLED, THE MEADOW OPENED, THE MOUNTAIN WOKE, COLOURED LIGHTS STREWN FROM CITY TO CITY, UNDER THE TREES, UNDER THE STARS, UNDER THE TRAVELING MOON WE PLAYED AND SLEPT.
SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED AND THINGS ARE CHANGING SO FAST THAT LOOKING OVER THE DEBRIS AND TARNISHED MEDALS IT SEEMS LIKE SO MANY YEARS. THE DIM LIGHTS, LOUD MUSIC, GETTING LOST IN THE VAN, WATCHING FOR UFO'S, ARGUING, WATCHING BUTCH VIG MICROWAVE BACON, BUGG, PEOPLE ACTUALLY COMING TO SE US PLAY, MORE ARGUING, LOLLAPALOOZA, MORE MUSIC, ENDLESS BORING HOURS LISTENING TO GUITAR "TONES" WITH ALAN, DOOM, HARMONY STRINGS, FLOOD WITHE THE CLASSIC SAYING, "WE'RE IN THE TRENCHES WITH OUR TIN HATS ON," SONGS, RELEASING A DOUBLE CD UNDER THE JAUNDICED EYE OF BUSINESS ACUMEN AND WINKING HIPSTERS, RELIEF, ELATION, TRAGEDY, THEN RETICENCE… AT THE END OF THIS YOU FLIP BACK TO THE BEGINNING OR MAYBEE OEPN IT UP WOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE AND YOU ALWAYS FIND THE SAME THING: MUSIC. SO THAT'S WHAT YOU MIGHT TAKE AWAY FROM THIS—AND ALL THIS FROM AN EMPTY ROOM. CHEERS, TA!

    what were we waiting for?
    time has lost it's hold on me
    hatred sleeps inside my bones
    in the stillness of cool air
    all the boys have been left for dead
    cause we go where they fear to tread
    the beautiful one's
    the one's we'll remember
    the precious one's
    our greatest pretenders
    i need a love to help me find my way
    i need a strength that i can not betray
    i need a word to say what i can't cay

    speak to me in a language i can hear
    humor me before i have to go
    deep in thought i forgive everyone
    as the cluttered streets greet me once again
    i know i can't be late
    supper's waiting on the table
    tomorrow's just an excuse away
    so I bull my collar up and face the cold
    on my own
    the earth laugh beneath my heavy fee at the blasphemy in my old jangley walk
    steeple guide me to my heart and home
    the sun is out and up and down again
    i know i'll make it
    love can last forever
    graceful swans never topple to the earth
    and you can make it last
    forever you
    you can make it last
    forever you
    you can make it last
    forever you
    and for a moment i lose myself
    wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
    i've journeyed here and there and back again
    but in the same old haunts still find my friends
    mysteries not ready to reveal
    sympathies i'm ready to return
    i'll make the effort love can last forever
    graceful swans of never topple to the earth
    tomorrow's just an excuse

    metal fingers clutching dirty sheets
    and no one comes for free
    in this place where the angels sleep
    this is the last song
    my eyes are open wonder to this
    as you hold the secrets
    i count the minutes off so perfectly
    the shards of broken glass
    sing the strains of a sad old tune
    we've made it at last
    but what we had is lost inside our past
    this is the last song
    could you find a way across me
    to forgive and forget me
    to appease and relent me
    to deceive and detect me
    to understand and release me

    and all I gave you is lost
    and all you took from me is lost
    black wings carry me so high

    I'm disconnected by your smile
    disconnect a million miles
    and what you promised me
    I hope will set you free
    I'm disconnected by your smile
    wishing you were real to me

    I'll take my secrets to the grave

    it's just more of the same old same
    i know she wants more and more and more and more to witness
    to lay down and bear true
    a cherry onion firefly
    tastes sweet and white
    as you are blue
    knows just what she wants to do
    with you below the silver skies
    don't hate her because she's undecided
    and she's tired
    and she's sick of the same old shit
    it's just more of the same old same
    i know she wants more and more and more and more to stomach
    in honor of her youth
    she's not sorry

    i want to change
    and all my cool and cold-like old job
    despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
    then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
    despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
    tell me i'm the only one
    tell me there's no other one
    jesus was an only son
    tell me i'm the chosen one
    jesus was an only son for you
    despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
    and i still believe that i cannot be saved

    said sadly

    you should know that i love you
    we should love like lover do
    and i can't help but fall for you
    ah honey
    i'm just a fool
    now you know
    darling
    i'll never be true
    you see
    for so long i was blue
    (i'm not the only one)
    and if i hurt then you will too
    ah honey
    i always lose
    now you know
    lover
    when will you
    i'm so afraid that no one cares
    lover
    can't find you
    i swear to god don't leave me here
    now you know
    oh you know that it can't be
    but no one else here really means
    (anything to me)
    if you hurt inside
    if you confide in me again
    since you ran away
    hold me now
    tell me how love is ours
    lover
    when will you
    i'm so afraid that no one cares
    lover
    can't find you and no one knows what brings us here
    lover
    hold me now
    tell me how
    love is ours

    Life is so strange,
    when you don't know
    how can you tell
    where you're goin' to
    you can't be sure
    of any situation
    somethin' could change
    and then you won't know

           {you ask yourself}
    where do we go from here
    it seems so, want you near [or guess i still want you near]
    just as far beyond as i can see
    i still don't know what this all means to me

           {you tell yourself}
    i have nowhere to go
    i don't know what to do
    and i don't even know the time of day
    but i guess it doesn't matter anyway

    life is so strange… destination unknown
    when you don't know… your destination
    then something could change… it's unknown
    and then you won't know… destination unknown

    when will my time come
    has it all been said and done
    i know i'll leave when it's my time to go
    'till then i'll carry on with what i know

    life is so strange… destination unknown
    when you don't know… your destination
    then something could change… it's unknown
    and then you won't know… destination unknown

    When superstars want you to know who they are they usually ask "Have you ever heard of …[themselves]"
    but
    the wall of fame is too often the problem
    countless forgettable idiot dolts convinced they're your greatest fan
    swamp the stench of greatness by basking in momentary association [sounds of shutters clicking] greasing you with their denatsate grins of enthusiasm simultaneously being in and beginning to be removed from your list of tolerable people
    the world is a freak show, find one more interesting than yourself, that's never heard of you, doesn't get out much, ask a question.
    my dream is of trading ideas. I have bread, he has salt, we both need then have both bread and salt, this is the upward spiral—synergy
    no lies, no weather, no bullshit, no card tricks, no jokes, no small-talk, no gossip, no false praise, maybe a cinematic, literary or musical reference-the shared experience that ties our purpose in life {reson 'de ett'ere} to pleasure—of like mind
    together

    1. Pink Floyd, The WallA lament on being trapped as a prisoner of fame, of having a high Q, knowing fewer and fewer, while more and more know of, about, and all surround me. Shut in from the maddening din, suffering celebrity depression, a prisoner of fame. Of not being able to enjoy the simple pleasures previously ignored in the past, now treasured, of not daring to visit the market, dry cleaner, coffee shop. The disabling fear, fear of answering the same stupid question monotonously. The only thing new and fascinating is on television sometimes,
       but not usually.

    time is never time at all

    without leaving a piece of youth
    and our lives are forever changed
    we will never be the same
    the more you change the less you fell

    that life can change
    that you're not stuck in vain
    we're not the same
    we're different tonight

    and you know you're never sure
    but you're sure you could be right
    if you held yourself up to the light
    and the embers never fade in your city by the lake
    the place where you were born
    believe

    believe
    in the resolute urgency of now
    and if you believe there's not a chance tonight

    and on her doorstep i saw that i was blind
    i'd forsaken what was mine
    what had mattered little now
    we had shattered apart somehow
    i can't help but stay the same
    i'll remain true to my name
    time to get up and take the long walk home
    and for the first time i go alone
    do you remember when we first met
    chasing down the alleyways behind my dad's
    i can't help but stay the same
    i remain true to the name of lovers past
    good enough to lose and good enough to chose you too

    dirty your face
    with longing and grace god given
    suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited
    where the cool winds blow i must surely go
    for my love calls below to drag her form the depths of my soul
    when will i see her again
    the other side of friends
    the darkened claws of death
    the empty breath desire dirty your face
    with longing and grace goes given
    suffer her heart and love her when your love goes
    unrequited
    restless in by speech
    and rootless in my teach
    so vacant in my breach
    i drive the dirt of her garden sorrow
    she'll never listen again
    no other lovers to bend
    just rotten apples to eat
    just letter yellowed distant scorn
    dirty your face
    with longing and grace god given
    suffer
    her heart
    and love her when your love goes

    unrequited {unrequited}
    life just fades away
    purity just begs
    dust to dust we're wired into sadness

    leave this world alone, 'lone 'lone
    leave it far behind

    and although the secret's gone
    i'll try to carry on
    if i must toke it alone
    for you

    gone long gone
    leave this world and roam, roam, roam
    beyond the pale me all undone
    feel these more i'm gones
    lord knows i can't be wrong
    so i sing the same old songs
    i try to be strong
    for you

    what heaven left me
    amongst the tall trees
    i know i'm nearer all
    i am

    and time hardly knows
    and time hardly knows
    and time hardly knows
    anymore

    and i'm gone
    oh, yes, i'm gone
    and i'm lost without you

    you're an empty promise
    you're an easy chair
    you're the gods forces struck down somewhere
    you're a secret noticed
    you're a mystery sky
    you're a wish floated up to the night
    medellia of my eyes
    you're the emptiness of i
    you're the reason that i write
    and if you say you will
    i would love you still
    and if i could
    i'd throw away this world
    i'd dress you all in pearls
    i'd give you what you wanted
    you're all i notice in a crowded room
    you're vacant motives unmoved
    revealed
    medellia of my eyes
    you're the emptiness of i
    you're the reason that i drive
    and if you say you will
    i would love you still
    and if i just could be anything for you
    just anyone at all
    anything that mattered
    washed out
    you're the silly reasons in a goldfish laugh
    you're the ageless seasons at rest
    at last

    i wouldn't hem and haw
    on just how to start it

  1. Smashing Pumpkins - ZERO.mp3 — ZERO.mp3 2:39

    Zero


    my reflection, dirty mirror
    there's no connection to myself
    i'm your lover. i'm your zero
    i'm the face in your dreams of glass
    so save your prayers
    for when we're really gonna need 'em
    throw out your cares and fly
    wanna go for a ride?

    she's the one for me
    she's all i really need
    'cause she's the one for me

    emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
    and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
    intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness
    bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
    the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
    i never let on, that i was on a sinking ship
    i never let on that i was down
    you blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
    you blame yourself for wanting more
    she's the one for me
    she's all i really need
    she's the one for me
    she's my one and only

    gos is as helpless as me caught in the negatives
    we all just do as we please
    false transmissions
    i hope god forgives me for my transgressions
    it's what you want to know no consequences
    it's what you need to fucking bleed
    it's all too much god knows i'm helpless
    god knows i'm restless and weak full of piss and vinegar
    god knows we sow what we reap in the dirt of grandeur
    when the darkness comes to me and it fixes it's gaze on me
    god knows i'm helpless
    it's what you want to know no consequences
    it's what you need to fucking bleed
    it's all too much god knows i'm helpless
    you break your back for what you can't have

    you can't break what's already broken
    cause form the mouths of babes comes nothing
    the "dreams" was a sham for saving what you can't and now
    they're me but i'm not them
    i am you and you are me
    it's in the ways i walk thru fire
    it's in the ways of my desire
    and when i said that you're no good
    what i meant was i wish you could be there
    forever be young
    forever i wish you could be there
    so now i bid farewell beyond the bonds of hell
    and now you'll swear you knew us well
    well you can never tell
