Lyric of the Day

Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece,
Some guys come home from work and wash up,
And go racin' in the street.

(Bruce Springsteen)

'He thinks he got the whole world in his hands stood at the urinal' Best sing along lyric of the day Morrissey - The Boy Racer
Beware, I bare more grudges than lonely high court judges... Mozza.

It's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you. Lou Reed nobody
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Seems to me there are plenty here who want to get fooled again. Forget the tearful sunset departures, they just attention seek... if they really meant it they would go without the histrionics; without the "I've just got to print off my collection..." such a load of wank. Nothing here ever changes except that the lowest common denominator (as eslewhere) is beginning to take hold.
elsewhere, natch.
"Nothing here ever changes except that the lowest common denominator (as eslewhere) is beginning to take hold." Class war!! Awright!

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do. Stone Roses nobody

Pirate Jenny (Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill) You people can watch while I’m scrubbing these floors And I’m scrubbin’ the floors while you’re gawking Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell In this crummy southern town In this crummy old hotel But you’ll never guess to who you’re talkin’. No. you couldn’t ever guess to who you’re talkin’. Then one night there’s a scream in the night And you’ll wonder who could that have been And you see me kinda grinnin’ while I’m scrubbin’ And you say, what’s she got to grin? I’ll tell you. There’s a ship The black freighter With a skull on it’s masthead Will be coming in You gentlemen can say, hey gal, finish them floors! Get upstairs! what’s wrong with you! earn your keep here! You toss me your tips And look out to the ships But I’m counting your heads As I’m making the beds Cuz there’s nobody gonna sleep here, honey Nobody Nobody! Then one night there’s a scream in the night And you say, who’s that kicking up a row? And ya see me kinda starin’ out the winda And you say, what’s she got to stare at now? I’ll tell ya. There’s a ship The black freighter Turns around in the harbor Shootin’ guns from her bow Now You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face Cause every building in town is a flat one This whole frickin’ place will be down to the ground Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound And you yell, why do they spare that one? Yes. That’s what you say. Why do they spare that one? All the night through, through the noise and to-do You wonder who is that person that lives up there? And you see me stepping out in the morning Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair And the ship The black freighter Runs a flag up it’s masthead And a cheer rings the air By noontime the dock Is a-swarmin’ with men Comin’ out from the ghostly freighter They move in the shadows Where no one can see And they’re chainin’ up people And they’re bringin’ em to me Askin’ me, Kill them now, or later? Askin’ me! Kill them now, or later? If you want to buy my book, visit my blog: http://whatisthisstrangeplace.blogspot.com/
And I'm just sitting here sipping on my ice cold beer lazing on a sunny afternoon The Kinks nobody
