An oldie 😳

Was she told when she was young
that pain would lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead

Girl - The Beatles, of course

"What a fool believes.....he sees"

Doobies

How can I miss you if you won't go away




Edit: the reason I'm not a C&W fan...well that and oh a million others

So ironic
that a heart made by man
when broken is easily fixed
but a human hurt
can last a lifetime

Silverstein: when broken is easily fixed

Light a candle for the sinners,
Set the world on fire.

Marilyn Manson - 1996

Lithium~ By Nirvana

"Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds, dreaming aloud."

Walking After You~ Foo Fighters

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you.

"The kombucha mushroom people sitting around all day."

"Sugar"-System of a Down

[First Man:] I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.

[Establishment:] Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

[First Man:] I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.

[Inner Man:] There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
nobody calling me up for favors
nobody's future to decide
I'd go back there tomorrow
but for the work I've taken on
stokin' the star maker machinery
behind the popular song.

Joni Mitchell.

"My mind is a courthouse
My soul is a jail
My life is on deathrow"

"Without you"
Lenny Kravitz

im not here for your entertainment,

cose you know its over berore it began
its just you and your hand tonight.

The Cure - Let's go to bed...

Let me take your hand
I'm shaking like milk
Turning
Turning blue
All over the windows and the floors
Fires outside in the sky
Look as perfect as cats
The two of us together again
But it's just the same
A stupid game

But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it
If you don't say it first

You think you're tired now
But wait until three...
Laughing at the Christmas lights
You remember
From December

All of this then back again
Another girl
Another name
Stay alive but stay the same
It's just the same
A stupid game

"I didn't know what day it was,
When you walked in to the room,
I said 'Hello', I noticed,
You said 'Goodbye' too soon..."

Sir Rodney of Stewartsville - You're In My Heart.
