Possum Kingdom Lyrics

Artist: The Toadies

Make up your mind

Decide to walk with me

Around the lake tonight

Around the lake tonight

By my side

By my side

I'm not gonna lie

I'll not be a gentleman

Behind the boathouse

I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie

I want you for mine

My blushing bride

My lover, be my lover, yeah...

Don't be afraid

I didn't mean to scare you

So help me, Jesus

I can promise you

You'll stay as beautiful

With dark hair

And soft skin...forever

Forever

Make up your mind

Make up your mind

And I'll promise you

I will treat you well

My sweet angel

So help me, Jesus

(hey, hey, hey)

Give it up to me

Give it up to me

Do you wanna be

My angel?

So help me!

Be my angel

Be my angel

Do you wanna die?

I promise you

I will treat you well

My sweet angel

So help me, Jesus

Jesus

Jesus

Jesus...

Get a load of me, get a load of you

Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you

It's just like we were meant to be

Holding hands with you when we're out at night

Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right

And I've got someone waiting too

What if this is just the beginning

We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it

So tell me

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up

Finding someone else you can't get enough of

Someone who wants to be with you too

It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch

Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch

But wouldn't it be beautiful

Here we go, we're at the beginning

We haven't ****ed yet, but my heads spinning

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it

So tell me

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

High enough for you to make me wonder

Where it's goin'

High enough for you to pull me under

Somethin's growin'

out of this that we can't control

Baby I am dyin'

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it

So tell me

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Sex Pistols - Punk

New York Dolls - Forerunners to Punk Revolution

The Clash - Considered Punk for some reason

Adam Ant - New Wave/Post Punk

I am thinking Adam Ant is the odd one out.

And he was on American Bandstand, which should kick any of these bands off of the list right away. :smile:

New Releases, Sept. 4: Pink Floyd, Manu Chao, Patti Scialfa

September 4, 2007 12:09 PM

By LiveDaily Staff

Plus: Ted Nugent [ tickets ], Greg Brown [ tickets ], more

  • * *

    Pink Floyd [ tickets ]

    "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"

    (Capitol)

    The seemingly endless 40th anniversary celebrations--which have included marking the Summer of Love and the release of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"--continue with this worthy reissue of Pink Floyd's debut album.

    The special-edition package of "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" includes three discs. Two of those CDs will sound decidedly similar, yet different enough for audio aficionados--one features the original "Piper'' in mono, while the other is a stereo mix. Both, however, have been remastered.

    Disc 3 is what makes this a must-have for Floyd freaks. It is made up of bonus tracks, including all of the band's singles from 1967. It also features rare B-sides and alternative versions of "Piper'' tracks.

    The whole set comes in a fancy, Storm Thorgerson-designed package, which is said to resemble a cloth-covered book, and has a 12-page reproduction of vocalist/lyricist Syd Barrett's original notebook.

    Dolls were from NY and also were the only crossdressers in the group. I agree with Kat.

    Well don't we suck.

    Question for Tuesday, September 4, 2007

    Remember this song from your Sesame Street/Electric company days: "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong.."? Which one of these bands is not like the others?

    A. The Sex Pistols

    B. The New York Dolls

    C. Adam Ant

    D. The Clash

    While it seems like Adam Ant would be the oddball in this group, the Clash is the only one NOT to have been managed by Malcolm McLaren.

    He managed Adam & the Ants, but persuaded "The Ants" to leave Adam and join a group fronted by Annabella Lwin to form Bow Wow Wow.

    so I guess being crossdressers from NY wasn't different enough?

    katsmeow

    I think we can protest this as having more than one correct answer...as the fact that NY Dolls was an American band while the others were not!!!!

    Why do birds

    Suddenly appear?

    Everytime you are near

    Just like me

    They long to be

    Close to you

    Why do stars

    Fall down from the sky?

    Everytime you walk by

    Just like me

    They long to be

    Close to you

    on the day that you were born

    The angels got together and decided

    To create a dream come true

    So they sprinkled moondust in your hair

    Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

    that is why all the girls in town

    Follow you all around

    Just like me

    They long to be

    Close to you

    Just like me

    They long to be

    Close to you

    Woo... close to you...

    In addition to the live reunion, Led Zeppelin has set a Nov. 13 release date for a double-disc, best-of collection titled "Mothership." That will be followed Nov. 20 by a newly remixed and remastered version of the band's 1976 concert documentary, "The Song Remains the Same." The film/soundtrack set will include six previously unreleased tracks.

    An adjunction to Bears post:

    Accentuate the Positive by Johnny Mercer

    You've got to accentuate the positive

    Eliminate the negative

    And latch on to the affirmative

    Don't mess with Mister In-Between

    You've got to spread joy up to the maximum

    Bring gloom down to the minimum

    Have faith or pandemonium's

    Liable to walk upon the scene

    To illustrate my last remark

    Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark

    What did they do just when everything looked so dark?

    (Man, they said "We'd better accentuate the positive")

    ("Eliminate the negative")

    ("And latch on to the affirmative")

    Don't mess with Mister In-Between (No!)

    Don't mess with Mister In-Between

    (Ya got to spread joy up to the maximum)

    (Bring gloom down to the minimum)

    (Have faith or pandemonium's)

    (Liable to walk upon the scene)

    You got to ac (yes, yes) -cent-tchu-ate the positive

    Eliminate (yes, yes) the negative

    And latch (yes, yes) on to the affirmative

    Don't mess with Mister In-Between

    No, don't mess with Mister In-Between

    a nice & slow one

    I like the feel of your name on my lips

    And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss

    The way that your fingers run through my hair

    And how your scent lingers even when your not there

    And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh

    And how you enjoy your two hour bath

    And how you convinced me to dance in the rain

    With everyone watching like we were insane

    But I love the way you love me

    Strong and wild

    Slow and easy

    Heart and soul

    So completely

    I love the way you love me

    I like to imitate old Jerry Lee

    And watch you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key

    And I like the innocent way that you cry

    At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times

    But I love the way you love me

    Strong and wild

    Slow and easy

    Heart and soul

    So completely

    I love the way you love me

    And I could list a million things

    I love to like about you

    But they all come down to one reason

    I could never live without you

    I love the way you love me

    Strong and wild

    Slow and easy

    Heart and soul

    So completely

    I love the way you love me

    Oh baby I love the way you love me

    Me2 I thought you were posting this song at first. But then I noticed the lyrics are a little different.

    I love the way you look at me

    I feel the pain you place inside

    Lock me up inside ya dirty cage

    While Im alone inside my mind

    I like to teach you all the rules

    Id get to see them set in stone

    I like it when you chain me to the bed

    There ya secrets never shone

    [chorus]

    I need to feel you

    You need to feel me

    I cant control you

    Youre not the one for me, no

    I cant control you

    You cant control me

    I need to feel you

    So whys it involve

    I love the way you rape my skin

    I feel the hate you place inside

    I need to get your voice out of my head

    Cause Im the guy youll never find

    Im faking all of the rules

    Theres no expressions on your face

    Im hoping some day you will let me go

    Release me from my dirty cage

    [chorus]

    I need to feel you

    You need to feel me

    I cant control you

    Youre not the one for me, no

    I cant control you

    You cant control me

    I need to feel you

    So whys it involve...you and me..

    [repeat 4x]

    I love the way you look at me

    I love the way you smack my ass

    I love the dirty things you do

    I have control of you

    [chorus]

    I need to feel you

    You need to feel me

    I cant control you

    Youre not the one for me, no

    I cant control you

    You cant control me

    I need to feel you

    med hunters pic reminded me of a very small part of this song... I have no idea what the rest of the song is about, the Talking Heads really creep me out.

    Talking Heads - Totally Nude Lyrics

    Big and I'm bad

    And I want you to know

    I hand around

    Where the grass is greener
    Totally naked, baby

    Totally nude


    'Cause if I want to

    Who's gonna stop me?

    I'm absolutely free

    Living in the trees

    The birdies and the bees

    'Cause I'm a nature boy

    Locked up inside

    You can't tell me where it's at

    Open up, open up, open the door

    Rocks and trees and physical culture

    Some days you hide

    I guess you wonder where you are

    Nature boy, nature man, take me along

    We got a life that's undiscovered

    We threw it all away

    Throw it all away

    Rolling every way

    It's irresponsible

    So civilized

    I guess you wonder where you are

    Nature boy, nature man, take me along

    Deep in the woods we're undiscovered

    I'm a little fish and you're the river

    Living in a boat that's underwater

    We can tip, tip, tip it over

    You can push, push, make it better now

    Wake your daddy up

    It's a quarter to five

    Our little boat

    Has lost it's rudder

    Dive to the bottom

    And we never come up

    A polka party

    For Bob and Martha

    I'm absolutely free

    living in the trees

    The birdies and the bees

    'Cause I'm a nature boy

    Think what you like

    This is really where it's at

    Open up, open up, open the door

    We don't need clothes and we don't need money

    So civilized

    I guess you wonder where you are

    Nature boy, nature man, take me along

    Deep in the woods we're undiscovered

    Sitting in the morning sun

    I'll be sitting when the evening comes

    Watching the ships roll in

    And I watch 'em roll away again

    [Refrain]

    Sitting on the dock of the bay

    Watching the tide roll away

    I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay

    Wasting time

    I left my home in Georgia

    Headed for the 'Frisco bay

    'Cause I had nothin to live for

    And look like nothing's gonna come my way

    So I'm just...

    [Refrain]

    Look like nothing's gonna change

    Everything still remains the same

    I can't do what ten people tell me to do

    So I guess I'll remain the same

    Sittin here resting my bones

    And this loneliness won't leave me alone

    It's two thousand miles I roamed

    Just to make this dock my home

    Now, I'm just...

    thought I'd throw this in here, since it kinda fits..

    we went and saw a couple of movies tonight...

    ya know... pay for one, and then when that ones done, go sneak into another?

    yeah...

    well... we knew nothing about the 2nd one, before we went in there, so it was kinda neat, not knowing what to expect..

    we ended up seeing "Accross The Universe"...

    Its basically a sappy love story, based in the 60's, vietnam era - only its a musical, and every one of the songs that they sing in it, are Beatles tunes...

    It was actually a pretty good flick.... Carolyn even enjoyed it, and thats saying alot, since she cant even stand the Beatles

    I didnt know that was out yet- Im not a Beatles fan but the idea, creativity and twist that Ive seen going along with that movie looks intriguing- I'd like to see it. I'd love to see that idea with other bands.

    you'd probably like these guys then, Terry...

    http://www.liverpoollegends.com/

    myself, Carolyn, Steve, Iceman, and Barefoot Guy saw them at the state fair this year...

    I thought they were really good...

    they're a Beatles tribute band - dressed and sounded exactly like the originals...and their manager is actually George Harrison's sister...

    they had message thing that played before the band came out, that warned people that what they were about to watch, wasnt the real thing....

    they've currently, got a full time booking down in Branson, but I'd definately like to see them again if they ever come back around here again.

    Louise Harrison was at an event - probably some battle of the bands = and I got her autograph. I treasured that like it was from George himself. It got lost in a move somewhere along the line though and I don't have it anymore.

    Many, many years ago when I was just twenty-three,

    I was married to a widow, she was pretty as could be.

    This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red

    And my father fell in Love with her. Soon they too were wed.





    This made my dad my son-in-law--changed my very life!

    My daughter was my mother because she was my father's wife!

    To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy,

    I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.





    My little baby he then became a brother-in-law to Dad.

    Well, that made him my uncle--made me very sad!

    Because if he was my uncle then he also was a brother

    To the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.





    CHORUS





    My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run.

    And, of course, he became my grandchild because he was my daughter's son.

    My wife is now my mother's mother and this makes me blue

    Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too!





    CHORUS





    Now if my wife is my grandmother, well, then I am her grandchild,

    And every time that I think about this, it nearly drives me wild!

    Because now I have become the strangest case that you ever saw

    As husband of my grandmother, IÂ’m my own grandpa!













    CHORUS:





    I'm my own grandpa! I'm my own grandpa!

    It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so!

    Oh, I'm my own grandpa!

    PINK FLOYD LYRICS

    "One Of My Turns"

    Day after day, love turns grey

    Like the skin of a dying man

    Night after night, we pretend it's all right

    But I have grown older and

    You have grown colder and

    Nothing is very much fun any more.

    And I can feel one of my turns coming on.

    I feel cold as razor blade

    Tight as a tourniquet

    Dry as a funeral drum,

    Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left

    You'll find my favourite axe

    Don't look so frightened

    This is just a passing phase

    Just one of my bad days

    Would you like to watch T. V.?

    Or get between the sheets?

    Or contemplate the silent freeway?

    Would you like something to eat?

    Would you like to learn to fly?

    Would you like to see me try?

    Would you like to call the cops?

    Do you think it's time I stopped?

    Why are you running away?

    "Hey You"

    Hey you ! out there in the cold

    Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me

    Hey you ! Standing in the aisles

    With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me

    Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light

    Don't give in without a fight.

    Hey you ! out there on your own

    sitting naked by the phone would you touch me

    Hey you ! with your ear against the wall

    Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me

    Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone

    Open your heart, I'm coming home

    But it was only a fantasy

    The wall was too high as you can see

    No matter how he tried he could not break free

    And the worms ate into his brain.

    Hey you ! out there on the road

    Always doing what you're told, can you help me

    Hey you ! out there beyond the wall

    Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me

    Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all

    Together we stand, divided we fall.

    NICKEL CREEK LYRICS

    "The Lighthouse's Tale"

    I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.

    I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way.

    I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.

    I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.

    I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea.

    We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me.

    And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light.

    And they loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into night.

    [Chorus:]

    And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea.

    And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be.

    She'd had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return.

    But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned.

    He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wave.

    In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end.

    [Chorus]

    Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the SHORE.

    He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore.

    I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand.

    And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran.

    [Chorus]

    I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.

    And though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.
