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.
"Is he your boyfriend or is he just here to hold your coat?
Take it off, take it off, take it off and let's find out"
Billy Bragg
It's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Lou Reed

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.

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.

If it's not the Crucifixion, then it's the Holocaust."

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?

And I'm just sitting here
sipping on my ice cold beer
lazing on a sunny afternoon
