Hopefully this gets stuck in your head.

Went to a dance
Looking for romance
Saw Barbara Ann
So I thought I'd take a chance
Barbara Ann, take my hand
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann (take my hand)
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

Tried Betty Sue
Tried Betty Lou
Tried Mary Sue
But I knew it wouldn't do
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised

(The place where he was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on Earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now

(He has no friends to help him now)

It's fare-thee-well my old true lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train

(Perhaps he'll die upon this train)

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
And you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave

(While he is sleeping in his grave)

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore

(He'll meet you on God's golden shore)

Soggy Bottom Boys- I am a man of constant sorrow

Life will come our way,
It has only just begun.
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below.

Time will take our place.
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold,
The long and lonely road.

Look for the light that leads me home.

I've lost a part of me
Tell your friends to sharpen their teeth
There's a few quid to be made

And my soul's a sorry state
So come on down, you're empty lovers
Wolves come out of the woodwork
And the snakes start to sing

Do you feel the chair
Clawing at the back of your neck?
And start to spell
Did you really think that you could fix me?
We'll sell your bones for another roll
We'll sharpen your teeth
Tell yourself that it's just business

Wolves come out of the woodwork
Leeches come from out of the dirt
Rats come out of the holes they call home
And I fall apart
And the snakes start to sing

Don't say I'm better off dead
Cause heaven's full and hell won't have me
Won't you make some room in your bed
Well you could lock me up in your heart
And throw away the key
Won't you take me out of my head?

I'm just a would've been, could've been
Should've been, never was and never ever will be
We'll sharpen your teeth
Tell yourself that it's just business
Would've been, could've been
Should've been, never was, and never ever will be
Wolves come out of the woodwork
And the snakes start to sing

Wolves come out of the woodwork
Leeches come from out of the dirt
Rats come out of the holes they call home
And I fall apart
And the snakes start to sing

If you can't soar with the eagles
Then don't fly with the flock
Are you still getting high?
Did you catch your own reflection
In the knife my mother held?
Or the hell in my father's eyes?

If you can't soar with the eagles
Then don't fly with the flock
Are you still getting by?
Was I your knight in shining armor?
The apple of your eye?
Or just a step to climb?

Well, you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling, there's ain't no getting over me.

Well, you can say that you need to be free
But there ain't no place that I won't be
Sweet darling, there ain't no getting over me.

I'll be the bill you forgot to pay
I'll be the dream that keeps you awake
I'll be the song on the radio
I'll be the reason that you tell the boys no.

Don't you know you can tell everyone that we're through
You might even believe it too
But darling, there's ain't no getting over me
Sweet darling, there ain't no getting over me.

I'll be the face that you see in the crowd
I'll be the times that you cry out loud
I'll be the smile when there's no one around

Don't you know you can tell everyone that we're through
You might even believe it too
But darling, there's ain't no getting over me
Sweet darling, there ain't no getting over me.

I'll be the face that you see in the crowd
I'll be the times that you cry out loud
I'll be the smile when there's no one around
I'll be the book that you just can't put down
So you can walk out on me tonight.
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling, there's ain't no getting over me
You'll see sweet darling, there's ain't no getting over me
No, no, no, no, No Darling, there ain't no getting over me.

Ooooh mmmm
mmmm No darling, there ain't no getting over me.

Ooooh darling, there ain't no getting over me...

Nihilists with good imaginations

I am satisfied
Hiding in our friend's apartment
Only leaving once a day
To buy some groceries
Daylight, I'm so absent minded
Nighttime meeting new anxieties
So am I erasing myself?
Hope I'm not erasing myself

I guess it would be nice to give my heart to a god
But which one, which one do I choose?
All the churches filled with losers, psycho or confused
I just want to hold the divine in mind
And forget all of the beauties wasted

Let's fall back to earth and do something pleasant
We fell back to earth like gravity's bitches
(Physics makes us all its bitches)

I guess it would be nice to help in your escape
From patterns your parents designed
All the party people dancing for the indie star
But he's the worst faker by far
But in the set, I forget all of the beauties wasted

I guess it would be nice
Show me that things can be nice
I guess it would be nice
Show me that things can be nice


You've got my back in the city
You've got my back, 'cause I don't want to panic
You've got my back in the city
You've got my back, 'cause I don't want to panic

"I watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream of warm impermanence.
And so the days float through my eyes, but still the days seem the same."

Man, I am in a mood today. I'm curious, what do these lyrics mean to you?

You pose an interesting question....

I had to look up impermanence and I found some interesting info. Impermanence is intimately associated with the doctrine of anatta (apparently one of the essential doctrines of Buddhists), according to which things have no essence, permanent self, or unchanging soul (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impermanence). I think I'm going to have to ponder this one a bit more...

It's a shame you can't hear me
Scream my lungs out believe me
The miles burn me up
I'm living just to watch your fire darling
I'm headed out for the road now
The engines hold me while sleeping
A road might take me away
But its sure enough to bring me home baby
Tuesday's coming
And I'm not gonna leave you here darling

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

There she is sitting there
Out behind the smoke house
In her rocking chair

She don't say nothing
She don't do nothing
She don't feel nothing
She don't know nothing

[Refrain]
Maybe she's crazy I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so

[Verse 2]
Her papa was a midget
Her mama was a whore
Her granddad was a newsboy 'til he was eighty four
What a slimy old bastard he was

Man, don't you think I know she hates me?
Man, don't you think I know that she's no good?
If she knew how, she'd be unfaithful to me
I think she'd kill me if she could

[Refrain]
Maybe she's crazy I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so


[Bridge]
I'm not afraid of the grey wolf
Who stalks through our forest at dawn
As long as I have her beside me
I have the strength to carry on

[Verse 3]
Today we will be married
And all the freaks that she knows will be there
And all the people from the village will be there
To congratulate us

I will carry her across the threshold
I will make dim the light
I will attempt to spend my love within her
But though I try with all my might

She will laugh at my mighty sword
She will laugh at my mighty sword
Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
Lord, help me if you will

[Refrain]
Maybe we're both crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so

He take the thunder from the mountain
He take the lightning from the sky
He bring the strong man to his bended knee
He make the young girls mama cry

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run
You got to hidey hidey-hide
The old man's down the road

He got the voices speakin' riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stand right in the road

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run away
You got to hidey hidey-hide
The old man's down the road

He make the river call your lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put the shadow across the window
When the old man comes around

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run again
You got to hidey hidey-hide
The old man's down the road
The old man is down the road
The old man is down the road

Possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written (IMO).

What am I supposed to do
If I want to talk about peace and understanding
But you only understand the language of the sword
What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall
But you only understand the language of the sword
What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace
But you only understand the language of the sword

I let the blade do the talking...
So my tongue shall become iron
And my words the mighty roar of war
Revealing my divine anger´s arrow shall strike

All action for the good of all
I see my reflection in your eyes
But my new age has just begun

The sword is soft
In the fire of the furnace
It hungers to be hit
And wants to have a hundred sisters
In the coldest state of their existence
They may dance the maddest
In the morass of the red rain

Beloved brother enemy
I sing my sword song for you
The lullaby of obliteration
So I can wake up with a smile
And bliss in my heart
And bliss in my heart
And bliss in my heart

Coexistence, Conflict, combat
Devastation, regeneration, transformation
That is the best I can do for you

I see a grey gloom on the horizon
That promises a powerful sun to rise
To melt away all moons
It will make the old fires of purification
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers

Min Warb Naseu
Wilr Made Thaim
I Bormotha Hauni

Hu War Opkam Har a Hit Lot

Got Nafiskr Orf
Auim Suimade
Foki Afa Galande

Hu War Opkam Har a Hit Lot

Era Mela Os

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

We are the ghosts of the midway, the beasts of the alley
We are the living dead, living in your nightmares
Scraping ourselves from the earth
Living as though we are dirt
Staring like you’ve seen a ghost
The lowest of the low, with nowhere to go

Back from the dead, now we’re groveling at your feet
Handcuffed for lying our heads as we’re withering in the streets
Back from the dead, now we’re groveling at your feet
Handcuffed for lying our heads as we’re withering in the streets

Fighting for your attention, begging for your generosity
Looking up just to see you turn your cheek on me
You walk on by like I’m invisible (invisible)
All I want is to be seen as an equal

We fought your battles, and we built your homes
Sorry if I disturbed you
I just wish we could live like you do

Even in our most beautiful days it’s dark
Just look at the world around you
There’s a consequence for what we do
Pass judgment on me as you walk
Picture-perfect ain’t my obsession
You can’t sum up my life from a first impression
Learn your lesson

Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
When you got nothin’, you got nothin’ to lose
Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
When you got nothin’, you got nothin’ to lose

I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same
I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same
I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same
I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same


Got me thinking about our servicemen and veterans this week.

King Crimson - Epitaph

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying

The Offspring - Americana

Well I'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away

Where culture's defined
By the ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In Americana my way

Well fuck you
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right away
I want it right now 'cause my g-generation don't like to wait

My future's determined
By thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In Americana my way

Well fuck you
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true

I'm a product of my environment
So don't blame me, I just work here
But I wanna fuck it up

My rights are denied
By those least-qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's, it's okay
Everything's backwards
In Americana my way

Well fuck you
My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true
Yeah, it's all coming true

I've given up.
I'm sick of feeling.
Is there nothing you can say?
Take it all away.
I'm suffocating.
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!

Is it bad I haven't heard that song in ages and it popped into my head?

Let's wake this one back up with some Breaking Benjamin

I can feel the animal within
I chain the beast crawling inside myself
I hear the call of violence
I sleep no more and I can't
I've lost it all
Carry me through this world of lies
I feel no more, the suffering
Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin

Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!

I want this thread to be alive again!

Oh, she's beautiful
A little better than a man deserves
Oh, I'm not insane
Please tell me she won't change
Maybe I should let her go
But only when she loves me
How can I just let her go
Not until she loves me

One of my favorite songs to sing to when i'm drunk lol.

Angel eyes
You have angel eyes
Such a smile that lights up my life oh
You're a dream come true
Now I'm holding you
And I'll never, never let you go
I will never let you go

First time I laid my eyes upon you
All my dreams were answered
First time I kissed your tender lips
My love to you I surrendered

I'll never let you go
You're always on my mind
You're the only one for me
You're all I need
And I'll never, never let you go

Angel eyes
My heart relies
On the love you give to me
You never let me down
You're always by my side
And I'll never, never let you go
I will never let you go

When my heart starts to crumble
And the tears start to fall
You hold me close with tender lovin'
And give me strength to carry on

One of my all time favorite lines in Rock and Roll

I went home with a waitress, the way I always do
How was I to know she was with the Russians too?

I have a long history with waitresses and Russians, so I love it.

Locked away in a cage
My rage has got the best of me
Time finds a way each day
Of leaving less of me behind
I find this fight must be won
Inside my mind
So uptight and confined
Often blinded by the light

Taking its toll
On my system
