Today's song stuck in my head

[Alice]

25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this
Brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
So I cry somethimes when I'm lying in bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step
Outside I take deep breath
I get real high
Then I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
I take a deep breaththen I get real high
Then I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah of course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.

Jonathan Coulton, "Kenesaw Mountain Landis"

Kenesaw Mountain Landis was a bad mother fucker
He was seventeen feet tall, he had a hundred and fifty wives
He didn't do that much except he saved the game of baseball
He put two and two together and he noticed it was four
Now the treachery of Shoeless Joe can't hurt us anymore
And he'll always be remembered as Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Fellow named Joe Jackson was a fielder for the Black Sox
And he always wore his black socks, but he never wore no shoes
He weren't the nicest fellow and he had a couple problems
Cause he drank a lot and he beat his wife and he always acted rude
He killed and ate some babies and he copped an attitude
And the one man that he hated most was Kenesaw Mountain Landis

The mafia said Shoeless Joe
You should really run this show
You should be the guy who owns baseball
And all you really gotta do
Is help us make a buck or two
We'll bet on the other team
You'll lose the game but make it seem
Like nothing could be further from the truth

Shoeless Joe did what they said he dropped a couple fly balls
And he walked up to the pitcher and he poked him in the eye
And in the seventh inning with the Black Sox nearly beaten
There was someone who was watching from his blimp above the stands
Cradling a rifle in his thick and meaty hands
And as if you hadn't guessed yet it was Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Kenesaw said drop that glove
Or I swear by God above
I'll make you regret playing baseball
And Shoeless Joe looked up and saw
The silver rifle's gaping maw
And though no one had noticed yet
His underwear was getting wet
He peed himself in front of everyone

Shoeless Joe was finished but he couldn't quite admit it
So he raised his middle finger up above the other four
And Kenesaw took careful aim and fired a single bullet
And he shot that dirty finger off and he dropped his trusty gun
And everybody in the stands knew that he had won
And today they still refer to him as Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Shoeless Joe left baseball and because a famous pop star
And he asked the musical question is she really going out with him
He had a couple albums and a comeback in the 80's
But he never won a Grammy and he never was the same
And he never could be satisfied with critical acclaim
Cause the critics all confused him with the great Elvis Costello
Yes the critics all confused him with the great Elvis Costello

I know Kennesaw has two Ns, but he spelled it with one.

Lift up your head.
Wash off your mascara.
Here, take my kleenex,
Wipe that lipstick away.
Show me your face,
Clean as the mornin'.
I know things were bad,
But now they're ok.

Suddenly, Seymour,
Is standing beside you.
You don't need no make-up,
Don't have to pretend.
Suddenly, Seymour,
Is here to provide you
Sweet understanding.
Seymour's your friend.

Nobody, ever,
Treated me kindly.
Daddy left early.
Mama was poor.
I'd need a man, and I'd
Follow him blindly.
He'd snap his fingers, "Me?"
I'd say, "sure."

Suddenly, Seymour,
Is standing beside me.
He don't give me orders.
He don't condescend.
Suddenly, Seymour,
Is here to provide me
Sweet understanding.
Seymour's my friend.

Tell me this feeling
Lasts 'til forever.
Tell me the bad times
Are clean, washed away!
Please understand that
It's still strange and frightening.
For losers like I've been
It's so hard to say...

Suddenly, Seymour,
He purified me.
Suddenly, Seymour,
Showed me I can!
Learn how to be more!
The girl that's inside me.
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
Seymour's my man.

That's one of my all time favorite songs. And it would be my theme song if we could choose our life's theme song.

Working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
With a happiness that died
I let it get away, paying every day

When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
Oh how I cried over losing you

For every day I made you cry
I'm paying girl til the day that I die
I'll keep working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
I'm working my way back to you babe
With a happiness that died
I let it get away, payin every day

I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
But if I'd been a man in reality
You'd still be here babe lovin me

Now the nights are long and lonely
And I'm not too strong babe I just miss you so
And you're too proud, won't give in
But when I think about all I could win

I keep working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
I'm working my way back to you babe
With a happiness that died
I let it get away, payin every day

yeah yeah yeah

Working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
I'm working my way back to you babe
WIth a happiness that died oh how I'm cryin
Working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside

[Beefy]

Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil.
Komm aus Ägypten, das liegt direkt am Nil.
Zuerst lag ich in einem Ei,
dann schni-,schna-,schnappte ich mich frei

[Refrain]
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp


Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil,
hab scharfe Zähne, und davon ganz schön viel.
Ich schnapp mir was ich schnappen kann,
ja ich schnapp zu, weil ich das so gut kann.

[Refrain]
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp


Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil,
ich schnappe gern, das ist mein Lieblingsspiel.
Ich schleich mich an die Mama ran,
und zeig ihr wie ich schnappen kann


Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil,
und vom Schnappen, da krieg ich nicht zu viel.
Ich beiß dem Papi kurz ins Bein,
und dann, dann schlaf ich einfach ein.

[Outro]
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp (schnapp!)
Schni Schna Schnappi (ja!)
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp (schnapp!)
Schni Schna Schnappi (mhmm!)
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp (ja!)

Insensible by Mandalay

I pulled a loose thread
I gathered you in
Discovered I could
A pivot for your sun

You invited me in
As if it's nothing
We tread on old ground
As if it's nothing now

It's like I hardly see the sky somedays
It's like you hardly said a word
It's like I hardly see the sky somedays
And i'd do better if I turned my head
Knowing you did

I wouldn't be here
If you could have said no
I wouldn't have come here
If ever I had known

It's like I hardly see the sky somedays
It's like you hardly said a word
It's like I hardly see the sky somedays
And I'd do better if I turned my head
Knowing you did

Knowing you called
Knowing you held her
Knowing you kissed
Knowing you did all this

It's like I hardly see the sky some days
It's like you hardly said a word
It's like I hardly see the sky somedays
And I'd do better if I turned my head
Knowing you did.

11 a.m. -- Incubus

[WileE]

New Song.

Heaven and Hell -- Black Sabbath

Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell, oh well

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, heaven and hell
I can tell, fool, fool!

Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on....

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's heaven and hell, oh no!
Fool, fool!
You've got to bleed for the dancer!
Fool, fool!
Look for the answer!
Fool, fool, fool!

[Alice]

The wind blows hard against this mountain side
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old it holds my memories
My body burns a gem like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyire Eleison
On a highway in the light

When I was young I dreamed of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have traveled down my chosen road
Or only wished that I could be

Yeah

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyire Eleison
On a highway in the light

oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh..

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyire Eleison
On a highway in the light

Oh down the road that I must travel
Oh the darkness of the night
Oh I'm going will you follow
On a highway in the light

[Listener]

The wind blows hard against this mountain side

I honestly had no idea that's what was really being said.  I thought I was hearing it wrong.

I thought it was someone's name.

I think I shall name any future children that.  Even if they're boys.  Even if they're not Greek.

That's why the song got in my head - it was a name on that baby name site Dazie posted.

From Pink lastest album: DEAR MR PRESIDENT

Dear Mr President,

Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people
and you're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions
if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?

Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye and tell me why?

Dear Mr President,
were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?

How can you say no child is left behind.
We're not dumb and, we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
while you pave the road to Hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the First Lady has to say.

You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye and tell me why?

Let me tell you about hard work;
minimum wage with a baby on the way.

Let me tell you about hard work;
rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away.

Let me tell you about hard work;
building a bed out of a cardboard box.

Let me tell you about hard work;
you don't know nothin' about hard work!

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?

Dear Mr President,
you'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

[Beefy]

It's not the way you look,
It's not the way that you smile.
Although there's something to them.
It's not the way you have your hair,
It's not that certain style;
It could be that with you.

If I had a photograph of you,
It's something to remind me.
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing.

It's not the make-up
And it's not the way that you dance,
It's not the evening sky.
It's more the way your eyes
Are laughing as they glance
Across the great divide.

If I had a photograph of you,
It's something to remind me.
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing.

It's not the things you say
It's not the things you do
It must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
Just don't walk out the door.

If I had a photograph of you,
It's something to remind me.
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing.

[Alice]

One, two
Freddy's comin for you...

Three, four
Better lock your door...

Five, six
Grab your crucifix...

Seven, Eight
Gonna stay up late...

Nine, Ten
Never sleep again...

[DownSouth]

I HATE THE RAIN AND SUNNY WEATHER
AND I HATE THE BEACH AND MOUNTAINS TOO

AND I I I HATE THE COUNTRY SIDE TOO
AND I HATE EVERTHING ABOUT YOU
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

I DON'T LIKE A THING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER
AND I I HATE YOUR DADDY'S GUTS TOO
I DON'T LIKE A THING ABOUT YOUR SISTER

AND I GET SICK WHEN I'M AROUND
I CAN'T STAND TO BE AROUND
I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

SOME SAY I GOT A BAD ATTITUDE
BUT THAT DON'T CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT YOU
AND IF YOU THINK THIS MIGHT BE BRINGING ME DOWN
LOOK AGAIN 'CAUSE I AIN'T WEARIN' NO FROWN

    solo





I DON'T REALLY CAR ABOUT YOUR SISTER FUCK THE LITTLE BITCH 'CAUSE I ALREADY KISSED HER
ONE THING THAT I DID TO YOUR LADY
I PUT HER ON THE BED AND SHE DIDN'T SAY MAYBE
I KNOW YOU KNOW EVERYBODY KNOWS
THE WAY IT COMES THE WAY IT'S GONNA GO
YOU THINK IT'S SAD AND THAT'S TO BAD CAUSE I'M HAVIN' A BALL HATIN' EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT
I GET SICK WHEN I'M AROUND
I CAN'T BE AROUND
I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
