Wow! That's Aimee Mann? Like from the eighties, "voices carry?" She looks great. Time hasn't been harsh to her at all. I like that video, the way it was shot.IP: Logged |

It's not What you thought When you first began it You got What you want Now you can hardly stand it though By now you know It's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up. You're sure There's a cure And you have finally found it You think One drink Will shrink you 'til you're underground And living down But it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up. Prepare a list of what you need Before you sign away the deed 'Cause it's not going to stop No, it's not going to stop 'Til you wise up No, it's not going to stop 'Til you wise up No, it's not going to stop So just give up

Funny you should mention Magnolia. I just found it in a box of movies I was getting rid of. I tried to watch it when I had a headache, and what I remember of it, it sort of jumped around alot. Maybe I'll give it another go. Did you ever see "Babel" starring Brad Pitt, it's very interesting. It shows how a persons action in one place can effect another person in another place. Hard to explain, but pretty decent flick.IP: Logged |

I'll check out 'Babel', thanks! Yeah, 'Magnolia' is pretty complicated, and, in fact, it is about how people's lives affect one another. Not from one place to another, as in 'Babel', but in Los Angeles. Its complicated 'cause its a weaving together of many people's lives (and deaths), so, even though it is linear -- or, rather, precisely because it is linear -- it jumps around from person to person. There is no lead, but many co-leads. It definitely tends to polarize audiences, but, for me, when I watch it in the right mood, it is one of the most brilliant and beautiful movies. I'd also recommend "Buffalo '66". But I guess I do have slightly eccentric or avant-garde taste. Guess its my Retrograde Venus Conjunct Uranus in Scorpio. IP: Logged |

Tricky: If I came into your life If I come to my life The life was strange We remain the same Set the pain, share the strain 252 stuck in the game Girls that I smack, it's for my babe Stuck in my life, stuck in my wife Stuck in the scratch, she says she's dead Waiting for God is very hardCostanza & Tricky: I wait for God and it's very hard I am the lamb I don't understand I drink your blood and I'm still thirsty I wait for God and it's very hard Costanza: I'm stuck in the church Stuck in the verse Stuck in the words Stuck in my nerves Stuck in the wrong Stuck all along Stuck in the bars Stuck in the cars Stuck in the time Stuck in this line I'm doing fine I'm doing mine I'm reading signs We're killing time I'm stuck in time Stuck in this line Costanza & Tricky: I wait for God and it's very hard I am the lamb I don't understand I drink your blood and I'm still thirsty I wait for God and it's very hard Tricky: I wait for God I wait for Christ I wait for wife I wait for life Tomorrow come We feel the sun Tomorrow come We feel as one The only God The only son Holy from the only one Costanza: We're on our own now we're fully grown I'm all alone when I roam Costanza & Tricky: I wait for God and it's very hard I am the lamb I don't understand I drink your blood and I'm still thirsty I wait for God and it's very hard (repeated) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN1uoHS1v3k&feature=related IP: Logged |

"old age" (Kurt's home solo acoustic 4-track version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF2Ek9kSOuU&feature=related (lyrics are approximated/interpreted) And I am framed It's a fire Our house is gone and I refrain are you God are you God Your little boy his knotted fingers meet the floor And now like a baby he ignores And you walk like a baby free spin flowers beneath your ray Be silent a bit and I will sing The sea in front of me away And I am now a baby Keep it down, do our last wishes One more high and I'll feed my servants Someday I have to find my way to something It's not hard to believe my service Come inside of her inner circles Someday I will hide away sober She seems to read minds And I'm dead dumb and blind Made a friend I could use She's the same Old Age Some are killed and some are wanted Some were kind and I feigned my service Someday I won't find my way sober This old fairy believes my servants One more ounce and awake my servants Someday I wind my way to something She sees too many hands and I'm dead dumb and blind face to face in the mirror we survived Old Age Old Age Old Age it's such a fantasy you're all weak come and hide away i'm beggin to see you one more high and I'll face my service coming down to relieve my servants someday I will know my way to monday secondary but I fake my service one more high and I won't be sh!tfaced someday I will allow my way to sunday She seems to remind us when I'm dead, dumb and blind where's the frame I use Jesus saves Old Age Old Age Old Age Jesus Saves Old Age..

Ot was over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA The government taught me, and they taught me right, Stay down, under the treeline, you might be alright Treetop flyer So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast I promised my woman this is gonna be my last I get the ship down, I tie her fast then some old boy walks up, and he says "Hey son" wanna' make some fast cash? I'm a treetop flyer Well there's things I am, and there's things I'm not I am a smuggler and I could get shot I aint going to die, I ain't goin' to get caught, See I'm a flyin' fool, in an aeroplane that's just too hot I'm a treetop flyer Born survivor I usually work alone

Dream Priscilla AhnI was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me. I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green. I had a dream That I could fly from the highest swing. I had a dream. Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be. The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep. I had a dream That I could fly from the highest tree. I had a dream. Now I'm old and feeling grey. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave. I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell. I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing. I had a dream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKfDwChOoHI

I seem to look away Wounds in the mirror waved It wasnt my surface most defiled Head at your feet, fool to your crown Fist on my plate, swallowed it down Enmity gaged, united by fear Tried to endure what I could not forgive Saw things (4x) Clearer (2x) Once you, were in my... Rearview mirror... I gather speed from you ******* with me Once and for all Im far away I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...

T, I haven't had internet in a month. Love you, girl. I have news. ♥I told althea I was feeling lost, lacking in some direction. Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection. I told althea that treachery was tearing me limb from limb. Althea told me better cool down boy, settle back, easy jim. You may be Saturdays child, all alone, moving with a tinge of grace. You may be a clown in the burying ground, or just another pretty face. You may meet the fate on ophelia, sleeping and penchence to dream. Honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered in the extreme. Aint nobody messing with you, but you, your friends are getting most concerned. Loose with the truth, baby, its your fire, but baby dont get burned. When the smoke has cleared, she said, thats what she said to me. Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy. There are things you can replace, and others you cannot. The time has come to weigh those things. This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot. I told althea Im a roving son, and I was born to be a bachelor. Althea told me, okay, thats fine, so now Im trying to catch her. Cant talk to you without talking to me, were guilty of the same old thing. Been talking alot about less and less and forgetting the love we bring. ~The Grateful Dead

[Verse 1] She lights a candle, but she doesn't know why. She wants to save me, but i'm barely alive. My soul is thirsty. I just wanna get high. Make her go away.[Pre-Chorus] Now i'm hitting the wall and she begs me to quit, And she drags me to church but i'm scared to commit, And i'm loosing my mind 'cause she hides all my **** . She wont go away. [Chorus] And all I ask of her is Pray for me, 'Cause I don't want to Pray for me, If you love me. Cross your heart and hope that I wont die before the best day of my life. Just pray for me tonight. [Verse 2] I dragged myself out of the bed that she made, And I escape her in a black motercade She's pushing bibles and a clear bill of health. I can't make her go away. [Pre-Chorus] Now i'm hitting the wall and she begs me to quit, And she drags me to church but i'm scared to commit, And i'm loosing my mind 'cause she hides all my **** . She wont go away. [Chorus] And all I ask of her is Pray for me, 'Cause I don't want to Pray for me, If you love me. Cross your heart and hope that I don't die before the best day of my life. Just pray for me tonight.

I was walking down the street When out the corner of my eye, I saw a pretty little thing approaching me. She said I never seen a man, Who looks so all alone, Could you use a little company? If you could pay the right price, Your evening will be nice, Or you can go and send me on my way, I said you're such a sweet young thing, Why'd you do this to yourself? She looked at me and this is what she said.Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, Money don't grow on trees, I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed, There ain't nothing in this world for free. I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back Though you know I wish I could, Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked, Until we close our eyes for good. Not even 15 minutes later, I'm still walking down the street, When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight, And then he swept up from behind, Put a gun up to my head, He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight, He said give me all you've got, I want your money not your life, If you try to make a move I wont think twice, I told him you can have my cash, But first you know I've got to ask, What made you want to live this kind of life? He said there ain't no rest for the wicked, Money don't grow on trees, I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed Ain't nothing in this world for free. I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back Though you know I wish I could Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked, Until we close our eyes for good. Now a couple hours past, And I was sitting in my house, The day was winding down and coming to an end, So I turned on the TV, And flipped it over to the news, And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend, I saw a preacher man in cuffs Taking money from the church, He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills But even still I can't say much Because I know were all the same, Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills. You know there ain't no rest for the wicked, Money don't grow on trees, We got bills to pay We got mouths to feed Ain't nothing in this world for free. Oh no We can't slow down, We can't hold back Though you know we wish we could. You know there ain't no rest for the wicked, Until we close our eyes for good. ~Cage The Elephant

from a girlfriend..."when he played this song, for some reason i thought of you....." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXa5wRrtbbk It was a ruby that she wore On a chain around her neck In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart It was a time I wont forget For the sorrow and regret And the shape of a heart And the shape of a heart I guess I never knew What she was talking about I guess I never knew What she was living without People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove Speak in terms of belief and belonging Try to fit some name to their longing People speak of love There was a hole left in the wall From some ancient fight About the size of a fist Or something thrown that had missed And there were other holes as well In the house where our nights fell Far too many to repair In the time that we were there People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of Reach out to each other though the push and shove Speak in terms of a life and the learning Try to think of a word for the burning You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And never know What breaches and faults are concealed In the shape of a heart It was the ruby that she wore On a stand beside the bed In the hour before dawn When I knew she was gone And I held it in my hand For a little while And dropped it into the wall Let it go, heard it fall I guess I never knew What she was talking about I guess I never knew What she was living without People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove Speak in terms of a life and the living Try to find the word for forgiving You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And never know The shallows and the unseen reefs That are there from the start In the shape of a heart IP: Logged |

You think I'm an ignorant savage And you've been so many places I guess it must be so But still I cannot see If the savage one is me How can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know ...You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once, never wonder what they're worth The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle, in a hoop that never ends How high will the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains We need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the Earth and still All you'll own is Earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkV-of_eN2w IP: Logged |

You and me are the same we don't know or care whose to blame But we know that whoever holds the reins Nothing will change our cause has gone insane And these wars they can't be won And these wars they can't be won And do you want them to go on, on and on? Why split these states when there can be only one? And must we do as we're told? And must we do as we're told? instrumental break You and me fall in line To be punished for unproven crimes And we know there is no one we can trust Our ancient heroes they are turning to dust And these wars they can never be won Does anyone know or care how they begun? They just promise to go on, and on and on But soon we will see there can only be one United States, United States of Eurasia, sia, sia, sia! Eurasia, sia, sia, sia! Eurasia, sia, sia, sia!
