    "How can I miss you when you wont go away"...
    Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks (the Hot Licks are the female back up singers and they are hot).

    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
    Until you died, till you died
    But you're still alive


    Alanis Morissett

    For those of you who actually think that it really matters who you vote for in our current system, I give you two short lines from that angry band from England...The Who. No truer words were ever written in a rock song.

    "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

    The Who from the song..Won't Get Fooled Again.

    After one whole quart of brandy
    Like a daisy I awake
    With no bromo-seltzer handy
    I don't even shake

    Men are not a new sensation
    I've done plenty well, I think
    But this half-pint imitation's put me on the blink

    I'm wild again
    Beguiled again
    A whimpering, simpering, child again
    Bewitched bothered and bewildered, am I

    -from the musical, Pal Joey by Rogers and Hammerstein

    ^^ this is from memory, I may have goofed it a bit

    All of us get lost in the darkness
    Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
    All of us do time in the gutter
    Dreamers turn to look at the cars.

    Rush....
    "The pass"

    And.....
    Quick to judge,
    Quick to anger,
    Slow to understand
    Ignorance and prejudice
    And fear walk hand in hand...

    Rush....
    "Witch hunt"

    I embrace my desire to...
    I embrace my desire to...
    feel the rhythm,
    to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow,
    to feel inspired,
    to fathom the power,
    to witness the beauty,
    to bathe in the fountain,
    to swing on the spiral,
    to swing on the spiral,
    to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

    "She came out of the sun in a silk dress, running like a watercolor in the rain."

    Year of the Cat, Al Stewart.

    awesome lyric; heard it when I was a kid and it is solely responsible for my love of music with cool lyrics today.

    Changes all the time. I like songs that are relevant to my life.
    Right now:

    "I am done with my graceless heart, so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart"

    You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
    If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
    You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
    I will choose a path that's clear
    I will choose freewill.

    Chorus from Freewill by Rush

    and

    "Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes..."

    I hate people that make ya feel small,
    I hate havin' my back against the wall,
    You know I hate bein' talked down to,
    I hate your rules I hate 'em all,
    Hate bein' marked to take the fall,
    Planet's not big enough for me and you,
    but most of all I hate you....

    Overkill- I hate

    When a man lies, he murders a part of this world.
    These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives.
    All of this I cannot bear to witness any longer.
    Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

    This WILL be a tattoo on me, somewhere, someday!!
