"Dust In The Wind"

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind






Good night all

Hey, hey, the clouds are away
There's straw for the donkeys
And the innocents can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

My, my, sun is pie
There's fodder for the cannons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

And all the world is football-shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime

Hey hey, night fights day
There's food for the thinkers
And the innocents can all live slowly
All live slowly

My, my, the sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty
And the guilty one's can all die slowly
All die slowly

And all the world is biscuit-shaped
It's just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime

And birds might fall from black skies
And bullies might give you black eyes

But to me it's very, very beautiful
(England's glory!)
Beautiful
(A striking beauty!)

And all the world is football-shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to tell the difference 'tween the goods and grime
Turds and treasure and there's one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime

"Making Plans For Nigel"

We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs this helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel

"Generals And Majors"

Generals and Majors ah ah
they're never too far
from battlefields so glorious
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
till once again victorious

Generals and Majors always
seem so unhappy 'less they got a war

Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before are tired of being actionless.

Calling
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling
your World War III is drawing near

Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
away from men who made the grade
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
until the battle's lost or made

Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before, are tired of being in the shade.

^ Heh... when I was a kid I had a garter snake that I named Nigel because of this song... and feeding him goldfish was "making plans for Nigel". It was a fleeting childhood interest...

Good Morning...

 

[NGAHaze]

Since the Walking Dead starts up again tomorrow, it reminded me of this tune ... not the same thing of course but it's a song I thought was powerful, especially the vocals.




"Zombie"

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence.
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

Heh... won't spoil it with a great story but this album was amazing at the time and for what it meant then

 

[cactus71]

And one of the most underrated bands during the hair-band days (which I was knee-deep in to too)



Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free

I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love me
I told you one and one make three
I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set you free

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the cult of personality

Argh! Now it's snowboarding - haven't gone for several years now... not entirely sure why. Maybe everyone I used to go with got married and kidified or moved away... that's why. I could solo, but don't - lame on my part. Oh well.



I've got the snowboard under my feet
I can fly so high, I can fall so deep
But who do I see comin' up the track
A little green man with the snowboard on his back

He said: And now I'm flying like an angel to the sun
My feet are burning and I grab into another world

With the lord of the boards you'll come and get around
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown

I can stay behind him if I can
I wanna be a little more than an "also-ran"
Through every curve He's got me beat
And maybe it's time that I accept defeat

And now I'm flying like an angel to the sun
My feet are burning and I grab into another world

With the lord of the boards you'll come and get around
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown [x4]

little sister there's blood on the tracks
and a lit cigarette but you're not coming back
to a town that was built on black gold and iron hearts

and the kettle got hot and it boiled and it steamed
and you can't run away from the worst of your dreams
we'll string you up when you're trying to fall fast asleep

she wore black dresses
(black dresses)
and she never cried in the morning
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name

she wore black dresses
(black dresses)
and she never smiled in the morning
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name

well her hometown was built by a few greedy men
people tell me she was descended from them
she's a claim in the darkness ever since she was a kid

and she doesn't mourn for a man's come and gone
she's worn the color of black all along
she was born with a stone where there shoulda been a heart

and she wore black dresses
(black dresses)
and she never cried in the morning
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name

she wore black dresses
(black dresses)
and she never smiled in the morning
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name

did you ever meet a girl who was born the victim of a name?
i know 'cause i'm a boy who was born the victim of a name
did you ever meet a girl who was born the victim of a name?
i know 'cause i'm a boy who was born the victim of a name

little sister there's blood on the tracks
and a lit cigarette but you're not coming back
to a town that was built on black gold and iron hearts

she wore black dresses
(black dresses)
and she never cried in the morning
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name

she wore black dresses
(black dresses)
and she never smiled in the morning
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name
she's got a bottle and a paper
so she can forget her name

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.

Good music and stuff yall! Hey did ya know it's the 50th anniversary of BEATLEMANIA!? Well it is and I remember it very well, when I first heard them where I grew up in Michigan with this song! The first one I heard by them anyway...1963, I believe!!! I remember sitting and talking with my friends about them at Chippewa Jr High School...before they ever came to America...yeah yeah yeah!


Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand.
Now let me hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeh, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll feel that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

 

[super dave]

And I believe that's what they got and a lot of it too!!!

 

[super dave]

[super dave]

This is kind of interesting, I guess.....watch it if you want to....you may like it, or you may not...it's your choice!
