couldn't find 'em, eh?  that's a cryin' shame. 

P.S.  Dying beer green doesn't make it Irish.  It makes it toxic!  Have some nice whicsky instead. 
<hic>

is it getting better
or do you feel the same
will it make it easier on you now
you got someone to blame
you say
one love
one life
when it's one need
in the night
one love
we get to share it
leaves you baby if you
don't care for it

did I disappoint you
or leave a bad taste in your mouth
you act like you never had love
and you want me to go without
well it's
too late
tonight
to drag the past out into the light
we're one
but we're
not the same
we got to
carry each other
carry each other
One...

have you come here for forgiveness
have you come to raise the dead
have you come here to play Jesus
to the lepers in your head
did I ask too much
more than a lot
you gave me nothing
now it's all I got
we're one
but we're not the same
well we
hurt each other 
and we do it again
you say
love is a temple
love the higher law
love is a temple
love the higher law
you ask me to enter
but then you make me crawl
and I can't keep holding on
to what you got
when all you got is hurt
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 got to
carry each other
carry each other

One...

One...

now the first day that I met ya
I was looking in the sky
when the sun turned all a-blur
and the thunderclouds rolled by
the sea began to shiver
and the wind began to moan
it must've been a sign for me
to leave you well alone
I was born without you baby
but my feelings were a little bit too strong

you never said you loved me
and I don't believe you can
'cause I saw you in a dream
and you were with another man
you looked so cool and casual
and I tried to look the same
but now I've got to know ya
tell me who am I to blame
I was born without you baby
but my feelings were a little bit too strong

now the whole wide world is movin'
'cause there's iron in my heart
I just can't keep from cryin'
'cause you say we've got to part
sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
a love I've never known
I was born without you, baby
but my feelings were a little bit too strong
just a little bit too strong...

Give a man a free house and he'll bust out the windows 
Put his family on food stamps, now he's a big spender 
no food on the table and the bills ain't paid 
'Cause he spent it on cigarettes and P.G.A. 
They'll turn us all into beggars 'cause they're easier to please 
They're feeding our people that Government Cheese 
Give a man a free lunch and he'll figure out a way 
To steal more than he can eat 'cause he doesn't have to pay 
Give a woman free kids and you'll find them in the dirt 
Learning how to carry on the family line of work 
It's the man in the White House, the man under the steeple 
Passing out drugs to the American people 
I don't believe in anything, nothing is free 
They're feeding our people the Government Cheese 
Decline and fall, fall down baby 
Decline and fall, said fall way down now 
Decline and fall, fall down little mama 
Decline and fall, decline and fall 
Give a man a free ticket on a dead end ride 
And he'll climb in the back even though nobody's driving 
Too god-damned lazy to crawl out of the wreck 
And he'll rot there while he waits for the welfare check 
Going to hell in a handbag, can't you see 
I ain't gonna eat no Government Cheese

I woke up this morning with the sun out shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag but then

I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in


I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed in
I watched myself crawling out now, as I came crawling in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much, I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in


Somebody painted April fool in big black letters on a dead end sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles out of Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I am still livin' with your ghost
lonely and dreamin' of the west coast
I don't wanna be your downtime
I don't wanna be your stupid game

with my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just wanna see some palm trees
wanna try and shake away this disease

we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
watch the world die
we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
watch the world die

I am still dreamin' of your face
hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't wanna be your good time
I don't wanna be your fallback crutch anymore

walk right out into a brand new day
you see me risin' in my own weird way
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just wanna feel some sunshine
I just wanna find some place to be alone

we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
watch the world die
we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
watch the world die

yeah watch the world die

Feelgood song of the year.  Nice

And it's for her father.  Ah, sweet offsprings' devotion.

Sort of doubles your chances.  heh.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for soemone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it'ssinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbledlines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Some of the greatest rock lyrics ever written IMHO - Thanks Sparky

Now THAT'S the best!  Thank You!

Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?

Sad sad song

[Edited by on Apr 12, 2005 at 04:54pm.]

and you can see
the daisies in her footsteps
dandelions,
butterflies,
I wanna be Kate
Kate
Kate
Kate

everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
she's everything I want
she's everything I'm not
oh, I...
have you got nothing to say?

she never gets wet
she smiles and it's a rainbow (oh, oh)
and she speaks,
and she breathes
I wanna be Kate
Kate
Kate
Kate

down by
the Rosemary and Cameron
she hands out the Bhagavad Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna see her so that
I can say, "hey...
Kate"

she never gets wet
she smiles and it's a rainbow (oh, oh)
you can see
I wanna wanna wanna wanna be...
Kate
Kate
Kate

Eight more miles and I'll be home
Back in your grace where I belong
Tonight I'm sleeping in my own bed
With my blue tick feather pillow underneath my head

I feel the wheels on 65
I don't know when - felt so alive
Eight more miles
Eight more miles and I'll be home

Since I've been gone everything's changed
There's been two weeks of steady rain
And the dogwoods bloom - pink and white
And that damp smell of new cut grass is everywhere tonight

Sweet sunny sound - I never knew
Just how much I could miss you
Eight more miles
Eight more miles and I'll be home

I crossed the Rockies on a silver train
I've walked from Burghan in a pouring rain
I met with strangers I came to love
And I've gotten drunk with Chieftans in a Dublin hotel pub

And I dearly love these memories
But all that matters right now to me
Is eight more miles
Eight more miles and I'll be home

Eight more miles
Eight more miles and I'll be home

On the outside, looking in
Another world, what might have been
I see laughter & harmony
Loving couples, wish it was me

They're trying sushi, they're riding bikes
They dress the same way, they look alike
They have purpose & harmony
Those loving couples, wish it was me

And when they argue, it's tongue-in-cheek
Day after day, week after week
Live for each other, right from the start
It warms you over, it breaks my heart
It warms you over, it breaks my heart

Very accepting of each one's flaws
Very forgiving, without a pause
Synchronicity & harmony
Don't know how they passed over me

They're making babies, that turn out nice
Grow up with manners. They're so damn nice
THey race on weekends in a potato sack
They love their children, they are loved back

Compromises are never hard
Their life reads like a Hallmark Card
They have nicknames, no one else knows
Like "Widgie," "Boopsie" & "Sausage Toes"

"Big Banana" - "Tuna Pants"
"Miss DeMeanie" - "Doctor Romance"
"Nude Crusader" & "Greg LeMond"
Initials "U.B." for "Unnatural Blonde"
The Letters "U.B." for "Unnatural Blonde"

Loving couples, holding hands
shop & play hoops, making plans
Share a purpose, share a bed
Those loving couples, I wish they were dead

Loving couples, get away
Please go underground, 'til Groundhog Day
Oh, Great Contempt & Jealousy
Seems those two got the best of me
Seems those two got the best of me

amie - some interesting choices.  :)

Dude - that was on The Morning Show yesterday, is that where you heard it too? 

toldja' you'd end up liking JimEd and Dale.  :)

like the beat-beat-beat of the tom tom
when the jungle shadows fall
like the tick-tick-tock of the stately clock
as it stands against the wall
like the drip-drip-drip of the raindrops
when the summer shower is through
so a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

night and day, you are the one
only you beneath the moon or under the sun
whether near to me or far
it’s no matter darling where you are
I think of you, night and day

day and night, why is it so
that this longing for you follows wherever I go
in the roaring traffic’s boom
in the silence of my lonely room
I think of you, night and day

night and day
under the hide of me
there’s an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
and this torment won’t be through
until you let me spend my life making love to you

day and night
night and day

whoo!

Brian. The babe they called 'Brian',
He grew,... grew, grew, and grew--
Grew up to be-- grew up to be
A boy called 'Brian'--
A boy called 'Brian'.
He had arms... and legs... and hands... and feet,
This boy... whose name was 'Brian',
And he grew,... grew, grew, and grew--
Grew up to be--

Yes, he grew up to be
A teenager called 'Brian'--
A teenager called 'Brian',
And his face became spotty.
Yes, his face became spotty,
And his voice dropped down low
And things started to grow
On young Brian and show
He was certainly no--
No girl named 'Brian',
Not a girl named 'Brian'.

And he started to shave
And have one off the wrist
And want to see girls
And go out and get pissed,
A man called 'Brian'--
This man called 'Brian'--
The man they called 'Brian'--
This man called 'Brian'!

the long and winding road
that leads to your door
will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
it always leads me here
leads me to your door

the wild and windy night
that rain washed away
has left a pool of tears
crying for the day
why leave me standing here
let me know the way

many times I’ve been alone
and many times I’ve cried
anyway you’ll never know
the many ways I’ve tried

but still they lead me back
to the long winding road
you left me standing here
a long long time ago
don’t leave me waiting here
lead me to your door

So, teach her French already, ninny!  :)

"The time spent writing about the intensity involved in trying to
keep love together is short; but the endless research can kill you."

There are oceans of feelings between us
Currents that take us and sweep us away
That's why we seldom have seen us
In the light of a cold hard day

Lots of new friends with the same old answers
Open your eyes
You might see
If our lives were that simple
We'd live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring
It's me

If the phone doesn't ring
You'll know that it's me
I'll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring
You know that I'll be
Where someone can make me feel warm

It's too bad we can't turn
And live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring
It's me

I've had good days and bad days
And goin' half mad days
I try to let go but you're still on my mind
I've lost all the old ways
I'm searchin' for new plays
Puttin' it all on the line

Lots of new friends with the same old problems
Open your eyes you might see
If our lives were that simple
We'd live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring
It's me

If the phone doesn't ring
You'll know that it's me
I'll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring
You know that I'll be
Where someone can make me feel warm

It's too bad we can't turn
And live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring
It's me

It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me

If it takes all the future
We'll live through the past
If the phone doesn't ring
It's me

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys

We've nearly decided to name our first set of big dogs Waylon and Willie, when we finally live on the mountain.

Mrtvý Joe

Mrtvý Joe mlčet nepřestane
ze stráně duní zvonce krav
a hovada dorážejí napořád
když kosti bubnujou do země
až zvedá se prach.

Dny roky týdny u mých nohou leží
všechny co jich mám
a černé noci černé dny když černě sněží
na zemi nechávám

Z noci té zlé co někdy dýchat se nedá
je kočka choulí se ti v klíně teplo hledá
a tikot hodín tikot tichem odeznívá
čas dechem teplým dechem posel odestýlá.

A tikot hodin tikot stále pomalejší
vsákne do peřin
z dnů roků týdnů co u mých nohou leží
pak a bosou nohou vykročí

Even better --

Proudem mléka

tak už se stmívá
den dohořívá
už i ty usínáš
tak co nám zbývá

jít spát to já dobře vím
tak trochu spěchám
když odestýlám

noci té se nebojím
vím co mě čeká
když usínám

oči zlaté tváře setmělé
do tmy níž
někam spěchám

na druhý břeh přebrodím
bílou sukni výš
v proudu mléka

tam odtamtudy ty sem k nám
ani nedutám a na nic se neptám
jestli jsou oni tady nebo já tam
kdo se komu zdá jestli oni mě nebo já jim
já se zdám jim

zpátky se modrou vracívám
a světla lamp
mi ránem svítí

ani nevím odkud kam
když přelétám
špičky stromů míjím

prsty moře rozčeřím
když z mraků níž
dolů slétám

na druhý břeh přebrodím
bílou sukni výš
v proudu mléka.
