"Hey! While you were out there serving wine, I was up here in the balcony turning faces white, I said. Hey! While you were out there kissing babies, I was luring kids with lollipops, and now they're pushing daisies."

He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me.
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
And I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays.
Talking bout the options, and talking bout sweet time.

I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end.
How's it hit you when you get that kinda news?
Man what'd you do? And he said:

I went Sky Diving,
I went Rocky Mountain climbing,
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu.
And I loved deeper, and I spoke sweeter,
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying.
And he said "Someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying."

Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

Warning, serious post follows:

Stones in the Road - Joan Baez

When we were young, we pledged allegiance
Every morning of our lives
The classroom rang with children's voices
Under teacher's watchful eye

We learned about the world around us
At our desks and at dinnertime
Reminded of the starving children
We cleaned our plates with guilty minds

And the stones in the road
Shone like diamonds in the dust
And then a voice called to us
To make our way back home

When I was ten, my father held me
On his shoulders above the crowd
To see a train draped in mourning
Pass slowly through our town

His widow kneeled with all their children
At the sacred burial ground
And the TV glowed that long hot summer
With all the cities burning down

And the stones in the road
Flew out beneath our bicycle tires
Worlds removed from all those fires
As we raced each other home

And now we drink our coffee on the run
We climb that ladder rung by rung
We are the daughters and the sons
And here's the line that's missing

The starving children have been replaced
By souls out on the street
We give a dollar when we pass
And hope our eyes don't meet

We pencil in, we cancel out
We crave the corner suite
We kiss your ass, we make you hold
We doctor the receipt

And the stones in the road
They fly out from beneath our wheels
Another day, another deal
Before we get back home

Stones in the road
Leave a mark from whence they came
A thousand points of light or shame
Baby, I don't know

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel


A bottle of white, A bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I--Face to face
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant

Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
Got a new wife, got a new life
And the family's fine
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight I did not know
you could ever look so nice after so much time
You remember those days hanging out at the village green
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans
Drop a dime in the box play the song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights
My sweet romantic teenage nights

Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive
Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
"Brenda you know you're much too lazy,
and Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life"
But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye
They got an apartment with deep pile carpet
and a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
they had saved for a couple of years
They started to fight when the money got tight
but they just didn't count on the tears

They lived for a while in a very nice style
But it's always the in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But they can never go back there again
Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of '75
From the high to the low to the end of the show
for the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up the pieces
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more than I told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye

A bottle of red, A bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant

"price go down if she ever ****a black guy"

Sorry, I love this song and this line cracks me up every time because I had a racist boss from South Africa who said he wouldn't nail Heidi Klum (in her prime) because Seal had been with her.

When I Paint My Masterpiece

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that you’re seein’ double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I’ve got me a date with Botticelli’s niece
She promised that she’d be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece

Oh, the hours I’ve spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin’ time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see ’em
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels runnin’ through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

Sailin’ round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin’ muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything is gonna be diff’rent
When I paint my masterpiece

Oh What a Dangerous Life

Well they sit out by the hot tubs
Oh what a dangerous life
And they talk about how they got their stuff
Oh what a dangerous life
They drink zombies on the sunnyside
With lotion squirts ... and moans
Their precious bodies by the poolsides
Remodeled like their homes...
On silicone successfulness
It's the new American-ness
Yeah you better invest in this
Oh what a dangerous life

Chorus:
And Bissie's in her bathtub
Cleansing herself from the wrath of
Some personal Pasadena
But scrubbing on her white skin
Rubbing all them oils in
Will it make her feel ... any cleaner
in Pasadena
Pasadena
Oh what a dangerous life

Yeah they smoke a little marijuana-ha
Oh what a dangerous life
Then they float on into the sauna-ha
Oh what a dangerous life
Jacuzzis oozing on display
And consciousness raising groans
Say I'm okay you抮e okay
As long as we stay stoned...
And cloned
On silicone successfulness
It抯 the new restless-ness
Better get undressed for this
Oh what a dangerous life

Chorus

Silicone successfulness
It抯 the new restless-ness
Better get undressed for this
Silicone successfulness
It's the new sexless-ness
Won't be depressed with this
Dangerous

Iggy Pop - Girls

I love girls
There all over this world
Hah!
Like to look at ya

Well I'm gonna tell you about girls.
They're all over this world
Some have beautiful shapes
I wanna live to be ninety-eight

Yeah, somebody to talk to
And I like to look at you
Yeah, somebody to talk to
And I love to look at you

'Cause you're a real fine girl

Last week in Paree
I was hanging down with Suzee
That crazy French magazine
She turned me backwards to a new scene

'Cause she was somebody to talk to
And to tell my troubles to
She was somebody that's so fine
Worth my looking in to

She's a beautiful girl, girl, girl

Summertime
Oh, and the living is easy
The girls are jumping
And the cotton is high
Your daddy is rich
And your mama's good looking
So hush little baby
And don't you cry

'Cause you're a real fine girl

‪KiD CuDi - Soundtrack To My Life‬‏ - YouTube

I got 99 problems and they all b-tches,
Wish I was Jigga man,
Care free livin,
But I'm not shawn,
Or Martin Louis,
I'm that Cleveland n-gga,
Rollin with them Brooklyn boy,
You know how it be when you start living large,
I control my own life,
Charles was never in charge,
No sitcom could teach Scott,
About the dram
Or even explain the troubles that haunted my mom
On Christmas time
My mom Christmas crying
Got me most of what I wanted how'd you do it mom?
Huh, she got me toys I would play with in my room by myself
Why he by himself?
He got 2 older brothers 1 hood 1 good
An independent older sister kept me fine when she could
But they all didn't see
The little bit of sadness in me
Scotty

[Chorus]
I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring outta me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life
The soundtrack to my life ohhhh

[Verse 2]
I'm super paranoid like a sixth sense,
Since my father died I ain't been right since,
And I tried to piece the puzzle of the universe,
Split an eighth of shrooms just so I can see the universe,
I try to think about myself as a sacrifice,
Just to show the kids they ain't the only ones who up at night,
The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom,
Once upon a time nobody gave a ****,
It's all said and done and my cocks been sucked,
So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound,
My hearts an open sore that I hope heals soon,
I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun,
Where it is never sunny the dark side of the moon,
So it's more than right, I try to she'd some light on the man,
Not many people of this planet understand.

[Chorus]
I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring outta me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life
The soundtrack to my life ohhhh

[Verse 3]
I was close to go an try some coke
And a happy ending would be slitting my throat,
Ignorance the coke man, ignorance is bliss,
Ignorance is love and I need that sh-t,
If I never did shows then I'll probably be a myth
And if I cared about the blogs I'd probably be a jackass,
Don't give a sh-t what people talk about fam,
Haters shake my hand but I keep the sanitizer on deck,
Hope I really get to see thirty,
Wanna settle down stop being so flirty,
Most of the clean faces be the most dirty,
I just need a thorough bread cook when I'm hungry,
Ass all chunky, brain is insanity,
Only things that calm me down p-ssy and some cali tree's,
And I get both, never truly satisfied,
I am HAPPY, that's just the saddest lie

[Chorus]
I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pourin' outta me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life
The soundtrack to my life ohhhh

Sigh No More - Mumford and Sons

Serve God love me and men
This is not the end
Live unbruised we are friends
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Sigh no more, no more
One foot in sea one on shore
My heart was never pure
You know me
You know me

And man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing

Love that will not betray you,
dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man
you were made to be.
There is a design,
An alignment to cry,
At my heart you see,
The beauty of love
as it was made to be
