Right in Two - Tool

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it

Right in two

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
(and this is what they choose)

Monkey, killing monkey, killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And when there's one they're bound to divide it,

Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey, killing monkey, killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They make a club
And beat their brother... down.
How they survived so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here

Gotta divide it all right in two (x4)

They fight, till they die
Over earth, over sky
They fight, over life,
Over brawn, over air and light,
Over love, over sun. Over blood
They fight till they die over words, polarizing.

Angels on the sideline again
Benched along with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end

Gotta divide it all right in two (x3)
Right in two

Right in two...

Not too fond of the following song, but DAMN, the man who sings at 2:00 Minutes in...I always thought women who sing could do it better than men, but that guy...just listen:

[Tynstar]

Holy man open up your eyes
To the ways of the world you've been so blind
As the walls of religion come crashing down
How's the ignorance taste the second time around

Tell me how it feels knowing chaos will never end
Tell me what it's like when the celebration begins

Welcome to the horror of the revelation
Tell me what you think of your savior now
I reject all the biblical views of the truth
Dismiss it as the folklore of the times
I won't be force fed prophecies
From a book of untruths for the weakest mind
Join the new faith for the celebration
Cult of new faith fuels the devastation

Holy man come and worship me
I am all that you ever wanted to be
I'm the life of indulgence you never knew
The epitome of evil shining through

Tell me how it feels knowing chaos will never end
Tell me what it's like when the celebration begins

Welcome to the horror of the revelation
Tell me what you think of your savior now
I reject all the biblical views of the truth
Dismiss it as the folklore of the times
I won't be force fed prophecies
From a book of untruths for the weakest mind
I keep the bible in a pool of blood
So that none of its lies can affect me

This is new faith
A different way of life
Witness the shame
See for yourself the lies
I'll take the fight
Bring it every time, any time
Refuse to let them win
My heresy begins

Pray for life - wish for death
Pray for life - know in time you'll pray for death

Tear it away
It lives inside your mind
Silence the fear
That keeps you pure inside
Now you can see
Life's atrocities endlessly
Witness the miracle
Witness the miracle

Pray for life - wish for death
Pray for life - with every breath
You'll pray for death - you'll pray for death
Embrace new faith, embrace new faith
Yeah, new faith - yeah, new faith.

Across the River- Bruce Hornsby and the Range

Well she moved back around here thirty-five weeks ago today
Oh down the lane
At night she walks on the banks and remembers how she dreamed of rowing away
And how she left one day
She left with a driven look in her eyes,
Came back around with it still inside,
They said give it some time and you'll forget about it too
You know they always do

Well I know Some fine day
You will find your way across the river
Ooh, across the river
Row down slow
There's a long way to go across the river
Ooh, across the river

She was proud and so strong that she tried not to listen to idle talk
Downtown where she walked
They sit around and they say that she came back with her tail between her legs
Like they always said she would

Well I hear it's better on the other side
They say you'll never do it so don't even try
Well, you may be beaten down with your closed mind
But don't try and make it mine

Well I know some fine day
You will find your way across the river
Ooh, across the river
Row down slow
There's a long way to go across the river
Ooh, across the river

"Your wild days are through," is what they said
I dreamed she came, when I was down and I walked where she led

Standing on the shore
She looks to the west with a look of longing
To where the grass seems greener
There's a hard and distant prize
It probably won't happen but I think I'll try
Well even if it doesn't happen for me
It still beats hanging around here

Well I know some fine day
You will find your way across the river
ooh, across the river
Row down slow
There's a long long way to go across the river
Ooh, across the river

My fave Crosby, Stills, & Nash tune:


Forgive me if my fantasies might seem a little shop-worn
I'm sure you've heard it all before, I wonder what's the right form
Love songs written for you, it's been going down for years
But to sing what's in my heart seems more honest than the tears

I am curious
Don't want to hurry us
I'm intrigued with us
Ain't this song a bust
I don't care
Dark star

I met you several years ago
The times they were so strange but I had a feeling
You looked into my eyes just once
An instant flashing by that we were stealing

Another time you felt so bad
And I wasn't any help at all, as I recall
We didn't know quite what to do, so we left the wanting be
Still there for me and you

Dark Star, I see you in the morning
Dark Star, a-sleeping next to me
Dark Star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me
Dark Star

It's easy to be with you
Even with the storms that rage beneath your search for peace
We must make some time together
Take the kids and find a world that's ours to keep

Now you've got me dreaming, girl
It's been so long that I thought that I'd forgotten how
My heart is once again my soul
We touched, we did, you know we did, no more teasing now

Dark Star, I see you in the morning
Dark Star, a-sleeping next to me
Dark Star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me
Dark Star

[Instrumental]

Dark Star, I see you in the morning
Dark Star, a-sleeping next to me
Dark Star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me
Dark Star

Let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me
Dark Star



Man, these guys were simply the greatest at vocal harmonies.

Synchronicity I (The Police)


With one breath
With one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance
A dream dance
A shared romance
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Nothing is invincible

If we share
this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi

If you act
As you think,
The missing link
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Nothing is invincible

We know you
They know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity

A star fall
A phone call
It joins all
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Nothing is invincible

It's so deep
it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity

Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws
scientific pause
Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity...

In an Alan Parsons Project mood tonight.


Games People Play


Where do we go from here now that all other children are growing up?
And how do we spend our lives if there's no one to lend us a hand?

I don't wanna live here no more
I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life
Quietly fading away

Games people play
You take it or you leave it
Things that they say aren't right
If I promise you the moon and the stars
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up?
And how do we spend our time knowin' nobody gives us a damn?

I don't wanna live here no more
I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life
Quietly fading away

Games people play
You take it or leave it
Things that they say
Just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now
Do you believe it?
Games people play in the middle of the night

It's not important for you to know my name -
Nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me -
And what you give is what you get.

It doesn't matter if we never meet again,
What we have said will always remain.
If we get through for two minutes only,
It will be a start!
For knowing that someone in this life,
Loves with a passion called hate
And what you give is what you get.

If I never ever see you -
If I never ever see you -
If I never ever see you - again.

And what you give is what you get!

I wanted to control it,
but love I couldn't hold it.

"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver"

Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said "Recognize that smell?"
"Smells like seven layers,
That beaver eats Taco Bell."
Now Rex he was a Texan out of New Orleans
And he travelled with the carnival shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars
And he candied up his nose.
He got wind of the big brown beaver
So he though he'd take himself a peek,
But the beaver was quick
And grabbed him by the kiwis.
Now he ain't pissed for a week.
(And a half!)
Now Wynona took her big brown beaver,
And she stuck him up in the air.
Said "I sure do love this big brown beaver
And I wish I did have a pair."
Now the beaver onces slept for seven days
And it gave us all an awful fright.
So I tickled his chin and I gave him a pinch
And the bastard tried to bite me.
Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and it
Occurred to her she might have a porcupine.

'A Boy Named Sue' - Johnny Cash

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

"Dress Sexy at My Funeral"

Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life
Wear your blouse undone to hear
And your skirt split up to here

Oh dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life
Oh dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Wink at the minister
Blow kisses to my grieving brothers

Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
And when it comes your turn to speak before the crowd
Tell them about the time we did it
On the beach with fireworks above us
On the railroad tracks with the gravel in your back
In the back room of a crowded bar
And in the graveyard where my body now rests

Oh dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life

Also tell them about how I gave to charity
And tried to love my fellow man as best I could
But most of all don't forget about the time on the beach
With fireworks above us

[FatherJack]

in this proud land we grew up strong
 we were wanted all along
 I was taught to fight, taught to win
 I never thought I could fail

 no fight left or so it seems
 I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
 I've changed my face, I've changed my name
 but no one wants you when you lose

 don't give up
 'cos you have friends
 don't give up
 you're not beaten yet
 don't give up
 I know you can make it good

 though I saw it all around
 never thought I could be affected
 thought that we'd be the last to go
 it is so strange the way things turn

 drove the night toward my home
 the place that I was born, on the lakeside
 as daylight broke, I saw the earth
 the trees had burned down to the ground

 don't give up
 you still have us
 don't give up
 we don't need much of anything
 don't give up
 'cause somewhere there's a place
 where we belong

 rest your head
 you worry too much
 it's going to be alright
 when times get rough
 you can fall back on us
 don't give up
 please don't give up

 'got to walk out of here
 I can't take anymore
 going to stand on that bridge
 keep my eyes down below
 whatever may come
 and whatever may go
 that river's flowing
 that river's flowing

 moved on to another town
 tried hard to settle down
 for every job, so many men
 so many men no-one needs

 don't give up
 'cause you have friends
 don't give up
 you're not the only one
 don't give up
 no reason to be ashamed
 don't give up
 you still have us
 don't give up now
 we're proud of who you are
 don't give up
 you know it's never been easy
 don't give up
 'cause I believe there's a place
 there's a place where we belong

[GrayGhost81]

a cold heart will burst
if mistrusted first
and a calm heart will break
when given a shake
