Muzak

Here is a bunch of junk that I’ve been listening to lately. I am also going to put down some lyrics I like. I was originally tell you who sings the songs but I think that I won’t. I’ll just let you guess.

Some of these bands are just the flavors of the week, some of them are the tried and trues that I find myself going back to again and again.

Big Head Todd and the Monsters
Bare Naked Ladies
David Bowie
Butthole Surfers
Chem Bros
Enigma
Kate Bush
Mazzy Star
Moby
New Order
Paul Oakenfold

Lyrics:

Have fun guessing….

And I'm talkin' to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette and the message comin' from my mind says leave it alone...

Last nite she said
Oh baby don't feel so down
When you turn me off
I feel left out
So I, I turned round, said
Oh baby gonna be alright
It was a great big lie
Coz I left that night

If you can't change the world. Change yourself.
If you can't change the world.
Change yourself.
And if you can't change yourself....
change the world

The more I see
The less I know
About all the things I thought were wrong or right
& carved in stone
So, don't ask me about
War, Religion, or God
Love, Sex, or Death
Because....
Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself.

I've got a little black book with my poems in
Got a bag with toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues
I've got 13 channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do
what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened to your face
Of melting snow
Now it looks like this
And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down

“Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Just one step at a time
And closer to destiny
I knew at a glance
There´d always be a chance for me
With someone I could live for
There´s nowhere I would rather be
Is your love strong enough?
Like a rock in the sea
Am I asking too much
Is your love strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
And stranger than fantasy
I knew from the start
It had to be the place for me
Someone that I would die for
There´s no way I could ever leave
Is your love strong enough?
Like a rock in the sea
Am I asking too much
Is your love strong enough?

Baby, life's what you make it, can't escape it.
Baby, yesterday's favorite, don't you hate it?
Everything’s alright. Life’s what you make it.

I would go out tonight
but I haven't got a stitch to wear
this man said "It's gruesome
that someone so handsome should care"

Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But Charlotte sometimes did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close
So close
So many
Other names

A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
while Wilde is on mine
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
all those people all those lives
where are they now?
with the loves and hates
and passions just like mine
they were born
and then they lived and then they died
seems so unfair
and I want to cry
