Gate 49

"a young girl denied asks "how quickly would I die if I jumped off the top of the parachutes""
Rusholme Ruffians-The Smiths

I will never live like you
But you will probably die like me
Oh lovelessly, an ending
Full of god, and god makes plenty.
You will go on searching
For someone to keep you killing
If you love me, won't you leave me?
'cause I want to settle down

Why don't you do what you do
When you did what you did to me
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right, go so wrong
Why don't you say what you say
When you say what you said anymore

Jermaine Jackson--"Do What You Do"

Two-headed boy, she is all you could need.
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires,
And retire to sheets safe and clean,
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave.

Charlemagne

Cause these humans treat humans like humans treat hogs
They get used up, coughed up, and fried in a pan
But I wasn't born to die like a dog,
I was born to die just like a man
I was born to die just like a man!

It's still us against them

And they're winning

This first one is my favorite lyric and one of my favorite songs ever:

"Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life, the son of a woman and man who lived in strife. He was tired of bein' poor. And we wasn't into selling door to door. And he worked like the devil to be more. A different kind of poverty now upsets me so. Night after sleepless night I walk the floor and I want to know, why am I so alone? Where is my woman? Can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone? Morning comes, the sunrise, and I'm driven to my bed. I see that it is empty, and there's devils in my head. I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace? And I find myself just wishing, that my life would simply cease." Crosby, Stills and Nash, 4+20

"Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet? We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it." - Bob Dylan, "Visions of Johanna"

"And Jesus was a sailor/ When he walked upon the water/ And he spent a long time watching/ From his lonely wooden tower/ And when he knew for certain/ Only drowning men could see him/ He said "All men will be sailors then/ Until the sea shall free them"/ But he himself was broken/ Long before the sky would open/ Forsaken, almost human/ He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone" - Leonard Cohen, "Suzanne"

"Show a little faith there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright, and that's alright with me" - Bruce Springsteen, "Thunder Road"

"By the way, that's really some bad sh*t that you came to our place with, and you ought to be more careful around the little girls. It's either the best or it's the worst, and since I don't have to choose, I guess I won't and I know this ain't no way to treat a guest, but why don't you grab your old lady by the feet and just lay her out in the darkest street and by morning, she's just another hit and run." Lou Reed, "Street Hassle" <- This entire song is poetry really, but that's the best part.

"I hope when you think of me years down the line, you can't find one good thing to say. And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out, you'd stay the hell out of my way" The Mountain Goats, "No Children"

It's the most bitter song I've heard.

Yes, a great song, and one of my favorites from The Monitor. I'm seeing these guys this weekend! I'm so excited.
