AKA Earworm Central. "Keptin! They put creaturesin our bodies!"--Chekov
If you're gonna have a folder about beer, you gotta have some tunes.
My life flows on in endless song
above earth's lamentation.
I hear the real, through far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the
strife I hear that music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul, how
can I keep from singing?
Hee hee hee.
Have either of you heard the tribute disc, I Wish I Was a House Carpenter?
It's got all kinds of bands covering Carpenters' songs - like NIN. It's definitely something other.
Other than?
Pick something you think it will be, it's that and something other too. Heh.
Aha.
Sorta like Johnny Cash's verison of Hurt by NIN?
Yep, just as mind-bending. I actually don't mind that cover as much as I thought I might.
I love Cash's cover of Hurt. And so did Reznor, from what I heard.
Altho, it's not what one would expect.
His version of Tom Petty's "Southern Accent" on Unchained was great.
Edit: I have to say though that his version of "In My Life" on America IV: The Man Comes Around was just painful for me to listen to.
Yes, you could tell he was very ill when they cut that album.
the sentiment of the song was perfect for his life at the time - I just wish his voice had been up to it a little better.
First LP I bought was - sigh - KISS: Destroyer
Mom had some great 45's we used to listen to. The Coasters, The Platters, Spike Jones...
I bought two 45s. Delta Dawn and I'm Not Your Stepping Stone.
"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" b/w "I Saw Her Standing There".
Interesting. Those two song were on different albums, I thought.
First LP I purchased was Shawn Cassidy. Why I keep admitting this in public, I'm not sure.
I knew you were a keeper.
He was the first person I saw in concert. I was 7.
Frosti, I think we bonded over this once before. 'cause, ME TOO!
Yay for Shaun Cassidy fans!
I still remember the dress I wore. It was peach, and had smocking on the front. And I wore a white shawl thingie.
I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still,
Dah Doo Ron Ron Ron Dah Doo Ron Ron.
That's the song that got me.
I like the Dr. Fun version better. Heh.
Heh. I've had the Dr. Fun (aka John Valby) version of "50 ways to leave your lover" stuck in my head on and off for about a month now.
I need your arms around me,
I need to feel your touch,
I need your understanding, I need your love,
So much,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby, (You're never there),
On the phone,
Long long distance,
Always through such,
Strong resistance,
When first you say,
You're too busy,
I wonder if you,
Even miss me,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby,
Take the time,
To get to know me,
If you want me,
Why can't you just show me,
We're always on,
This roller coaster,
If you want me,
Why can't you get closer,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there
hee!
Yeah yeah, rub it in. You earwormed me good, woman. :)
can you believe I heard it in the car on the way home? and thought of you.
I heard something on the radio that I really wanted to be earwormed by, but it wouldn't take. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember what it was.
The Inquisition! (Let's begin)
The Inquisition! (Look out sin)
We have a mission to convert the Jews (Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew)
We're gonna teach them wrong from right.
We're gonna help them see the light
and make an offer that they can't refuse. (That those Jews just can't refuse)
Confess, don't be boring.
Say yes, don't be dull.
A fact you're ignoring:
It's better to lose your skull cap than your skull (or your govalt!)
The Inquisition (what a show)
The Inquistion (here we go)
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.
But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
"I was sitting in a temple. I was minding my own business.
I was listening to a lovely Hebrew mass.
Then these Papus persons plungered and they throw me in a dungeon and they shove a red hot poker up my ass.
Is that considerate? Is that polite?
And not a tube of Preperation H in sight!"
"I'm sittin' flickin' chickens and I'm lookin' throught the pickins' and suddenly thes goyim pull down valls.
I didn't even know them and they grabbed my by the stoghum and started playing ping pong with my balls!
Ooh, the agony! Ooh, the shame!
To make my privates public for a game?"
The Inquisition (what a show)
The Inquisition (here we go)
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.
But the Inquisition's here and it's here to-
"Hey Toquemada, walk this way."
"I just got back from the Auto-de-fe."
"Auto-de-fe? What's an Auto-de-fe?"
"It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway."
Will you convert? "No, no, no, no."
Will you confess? "No, no, no, no."
Will you revert? "No, no, no, no."
Will you say yes? "No, no, no, no!"
Now I asked in a nice way, I said, "Pretty please."
I bent their ears, now I'll work on their knees!
"Hey Toquemada, walk this way. We got a little game that you might wanna play, so pull that handle, try you're luck."
"Who knows, Toq, you might win a buck!"
"How we doin', any converts today?"
"Not a one, nay, nay, nay."
"We flattened their fingers, we branded their buns!
Nothing is working! Send in the nuns!"
The Inquisition, what a show.
The Inquisition, here we go.
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away!
So all you Muslims and you Jews
We got big news for all of yous:
You'd better change your point of views TODAY!
'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
And you walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you will get your way
You closed the door and stumbled down to the street
Where you wring your hands
And you drag your feet there
Where the words can't find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning
But you can't hide standing under these stars
They know everything, they know where you are
You're in your head, you're all turned around with it
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again
Back where I can find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning
All you want to see is make believe
It's nothing but way down underneath
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning
Chorus:
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I’m through with you
I burn burn like a wicker cabinet chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time had gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale
Chorus
So cal is where my mind states but it’s not my state of mind
I’m not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami
Folded up and just pretend demented as the motives in your head
Chorus
I alone am the one you don’t know you need take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close sink when you get close tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don’t know you need you don’t know you need me. make me
Blind when your eyes close, tie me to the bed post
Chorus
Robbie Williams
Come Undone
So unimpressed, but so in awe
Such a saint, but such a whore
So self-aware, so full of shit
So indecisive, so adament
I'm contemplating, thinkin' about thinkin'
It's overrated, just get another drink and
Watch me come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you, you revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum, and I'm your son
I come undone
I come undone
So rock 'n' roll, so coppered suits (edit: i thought this was corporate)
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well-trained, so animal
So need your laugh, so fuck you all
I'm not scared of dying, I just don't want to
If I stop lying, I'll just disappoint you
Come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Come undone
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
Come undone
If I ever hurt you, your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum, and I'm your son
I come undone
So write another ballad, mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday, Friday, out by Saturday
It's a love song, a love song
Do another interview, sing a bunch of lies
Tell about celebrities that they all despise
And sing love songs, we sing love songs so sincere
So sincere
Come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Come undone
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
Come undone
The young pretend you're in the clouds above the sea
I come undone
I am scum
Love your son
You've gotta love your son
Come undone
You've gotta love you son
Come undone
Love your son
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum
I'll Keep It With Mine
(Bob Dylan)
You will search, babe
At any cost
But how long, babe
Can you search for what's not lost?
Ev'rybody will help you
Some people are very kind
But if I can save you any time
Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine
I can't help it
If you might think I'm odd
If I say I'm not loving you for what you are
But for what you're not
Everybody will help you
Discover what you set out to find
But if I can save you any time
Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine
The train leaves
At half past ten
But it'll be back tomorrow
Same time again
The conductor, he's weary
He's still stuck on the line
But if I can save you any time
Come on, give it to me
I'll keep it with mine
In a sluggish economy
 Inflation, Recession,
 Hits the Land of the Free.
 Standing on an employment line.
 Blame the government for hard times.
We just get by, however we can.
 We all gotta duck when the shit hits the fan.
Ten kids in a Cadillac,
 Standing in line for welfare checks.
 "Let's all reach off the state."
 "Gee the money's really great!"
We just get by, however we can.
 We all gotta duck when the shit hits the fan.
Soup lines.
 Free loaves of bread.
 Five pound blocks of cheese.
 Bags of groceries.
Social Security,
 Has run out on You and Me.
We do whatever we can,
 Gotta duck when the shit hits the fan......
Once You Love
(Steve Earle, Larry Crane)
A long time ago there lived a man
He had the world in the palm of his hand
Sultans and kings beat a path to his door
He had everything but he still wanted more
One day in spring came a lady so fair
He'd never looked on a beauty so rare
But he didn't trust her so he locked her away
And his gold lost its luster when love died that day
Once you love, once you trust it
Once you give your soul is bare
One false move and you know you're busted
Once you love you care
I knew an old man who lived all alone
In a sad little house at the end of the road
He sat on the front porch in an old rocking chair
And everyone swore he'd gone crazy down there
But no one comes near so how could they know
He lost someone dear to him once long ago
He remembers the laughter and he still tastes the tears
And he still calls her name out after all of these years
You can keep it all inside
You can run but you can't hide
When you think it's safe outside
Look behind you, love will find you
<sniff>
Where in samhill did you get that avatar, dude? It clashes most interestingly with your tagline. :)
Hahahahahaahahaaaa
Ahem. I had pics turned off.
what I came here to post...
hello there
the angel from my nightmare
the shadow in the background of the morgue
the unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
we can live like Jack and Sally if we want
where you can always find me
we'll have Halloween on Christmas
and in the night we'll wish this never ends
we'll wish this never ends
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
this sick strange darkness
comes creeping on so haunting every time
and as I stared I counted
webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight
don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
that's just WRONG.
Is that the Titantic song?
I take perverse pleasure in the fact I've never seen that.
that pleasure should not be considered perverse. you should be PROUD!!!
Sparky was making a Titantic reference via e-mail. I was trying to earworm him...
what about us innocent bystanders?
Sorry JB, but thanks for taking my bullet. :)
Hey Frosti - I only saw that picture once, and the soundtrack wasn't one I remember. Nice try though! :p
what about us innocent bystanders?
Collateral Damage. Sorry.
Hey Frosti - I only saw that picture once, and the soundtrack wasn't one I remember.
You just remember Kate Winslet naked. Or maybe that's just me.
