    The Traffic Lights they turn blue tommaro, and shines the emptyness on my bed.
            (jimi hendrix) The Wind cries Marry.

    Fuck the Movies,  Lets talk Music.

    Yeah,  she is walking through the clouds, with a circus mind that is running around,  Buttaflys and Zebras and ferry tales.
    ( jimi hendrix)

    He crys ol' girl you must be mad. SO castle made of sand fall into the sea eventaully.

    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

    A little indian brave who before he was ten,
    Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
    And he built up a dream that when he grew up
    He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif
    Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
    Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
    But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

    And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually

    There was a young girl, whos heart was a frown
    cause she was crippled for life,
    And she couldnt speak a sound
    And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
    So she decided to die
    She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
    And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
    But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say
    Look a golden winged ship is passing my way

    And it really didnt have to stop, it just kept on going...

    And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually
    My Femboys can Beat up your Ladyboys.

      O.k. So I'm 43yr's old. I Love Old school Rock'n Roll.

      However, the best Lyrics I have ever heard is by kid Rock. Here are the lyrics. With out a doubt one of my top 5 songs.




      "Fuck Off"

      A shimmy shimmy cocoa cocoa pu- pu - fuckin puffs bitch
      It's the K-K-Kid Rock with the K-K-Kid Rock shit
      I'm on top bitch and rock for tricks
      Hella whips and nips and flip trips for whips
      I get all the money pussy falls like rain
      Been gettin laid and paid that's why I never complain
      If I ain't in it for the money, I'm in it for the P
      It's 1998 yo and you still can't fuck with me
      You don't be fuckin with the blue eye
      Fuckin with my 2-5 hope your fuckin ass like my shoe size
      I got a new vibe, kinda like voodoo
      You do what we say and we'll do what we want to
      We're fuckin up your city and we're fuckin up your progam
      Fuckin all your bitches we don't fuckin give a god damn
      Twisted Brown gets down with no assistance
      We won't quit until we're banned from existence
      Persistance pays if that holds true
      Then I'm a buy this fuckin planet before the time I'm through
      I was praised and raised on the thoughts of no fakin
      So I'm gonna get what I got coming and the rest I'm takin
      I'm shakin like Jerry Lee Lewis and shit
      You act like a motherfucker's new at this shit
      But I've been true to this shit given my heart and soul
      Been shinin like a diamond but gettin passed as coal

      So Fuck Off
      Yeah

      With my pants half hangin off my ass and shit
      Bowl filled with hash pockets stuffed with cash
      I be the mushroom trippin sippin shots of Jack
      Cause the kids don't listen gettin lots of flack
      I be the do wa diddy up and down you block and
      The ten karat Kid with my triggers cockin
      The K the I the D R O C K motherfucker and you still don't know me
      So blow me bitch I don't rock for cancer
      I rock for the cash and the topless dancers
      Don't have no answers so pass the joint
      I'm just paid in full and made in Detroit
      I ride like Setta in the Indy five
      And get live with that which get's me high
      Strive for perfection this much is true
      We do what we say you say what we do
      Kid Rock I couldn't be no Bozo
      And I get too much P to ever be no homo
      Rock from So Ho to Arizona
      I'm an easy rider dreamin of Wynonna
      I roam the country like a Greyhound bus
      Put faith in lust and in God I trust
      I'm not Peter Pan I don't fuck with fairies
      But I bust more rhymes than virgin cherries
      And Harry Carey couldn't call my game
      Fucked so many hoes I'm in the hall of fame
      And I show no shame from coast to coast
      I don't mean to brag, but I like to boast

      Fuck Off

      Yeah right in your mother fuckin ass bitch
      With that Detroit city shit ain't shit switched We're on the same script
      Nothing new since 76 Kid Rock
      Yo Slim Shady come break these mother fuckers off

      Yo tell the world to hold their breath they're breathing the wrong air
      This planet belongs to me and this hippy with long hair
      Two white boys who spike punch and light joints
      Hang around drugs loud music and like noise
      Slim Shady and Brown Trucker another bunch of mother fuckers
      Who hate the world as much as each other
      And I ain't leaving this party tonight
      Till I see some naked bitches dancin around drunk touchin each other
      Rum and Pepsi got your perception of me sketchy
      Cause when I stage dive people are scared to catch me
      Cause all I do is curse and fuck
      So when I do shrooms you all better give me two rooms
      Cause I'm fuckin the first one up
      So when you see me on your block you better lock your cars
      Cause you know I'm losin it when I'm rappin to rock guitars
      This is for children who break rules
      People that straight fool
      And ever single teenager that hates school

      Fuck Off

        A few of my favourites.


        Now they're planning the crime of the century
        Well what will it be?
        Read all about their schemes and adventuring
        It's well worth a fee
        So roll up and see
        And they rape the universe
        How they've gone from bad to worse
        Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
        Rip off the masks and let's see.
        But that's no right - oh no, what's the story?
        There's you and there's me
        That can't be right

        (Crime of the Century  -  Supertramp)


        Now I lie in bed and think of her
        Sometimes I even weep,
        Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

        Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
        And she stood just like Bill Wyman
        Now I am her biggest fan.

        (Behind The Wall Of Sleep  -  Smithereens)


        Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
        Crying like a fire in the sun

        (It's All Over Now Baby Blue  -  Bob Dylan  -  I prefer the version by [the] Them)


        I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
        Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
        He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
        Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein
        Werewolves of London

        If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
        Better not let him in
        Little old lady got mutilated late last night
        Werewolves of London again
        Werewolves of London

        He's the hairy handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
        Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
        Better stay away from him
        He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
        I'd like to meet his tailor
        Werewolves of London

        Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
        Doing the werewolves of London
        I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
        Doing the werewolves of London
        I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
        His hair was perfect
        Werewolves of London again
        Draw blood

        (Werewolves of London  -  Warren Zeavon)


        I'm just and ageing drummer boy
        And in the wars I used to play
        And I've called the tune
        To many a torture session

        (The Man's Too Strong  -  Dire Straits)


        She moves like she don't care
        Smooth as silk, cool as air
        Ooh it makes you wanna cry
        She doesn't know your name
        And your heart beats like a subway train
        Ooh it makes you wanna die

        Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
        Ooh, wanna make her all your own?

        Maria, you've gotta see her
        Go insane and out of your mind
        Regina, Ave Maria
        A million and one candle lights

        I've seen this thing before
        In my best friend and the boy next door
        Fool for love and fool on fire

        Won't come in from the rain
        She's oceans running down the drain
        Blue as ice and desire

        Don't you wanna make her?
        Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

        (Maria - Blondie)

        I could bore you with lots more

          Billy Jaffe, Radio Voice of the Thrashers:
          ”I have absolutely No problem with Ohio State. It has a beautiful campus, and for a Junior College it has really great Academics.”


          "Gentlemen and ladies, 'Those Who Stay Will Be Champions' is for you too. It's for every Michigan fan that's out there. When the going gets tough, you don't cut and run. It's not the Michigan way. If I heard it once from the old man, I heard it a thousand times -- when the going gets tough you find out who your real friends are, and that's why we must stay. Because there will be championships, and this staff and these kids will bring those championships here."

            I said a hip, a hop, the hippie, the hippie

            The rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
            To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
            Now what you hear is not a test - I'm rappin to the beat
            And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
            Ya see: I am Wonder Mike and I like to say hello
            To the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
            But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
            Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
            Let's rock, you don't stop
            Rock the rhythm that will make your body rock
            Well, so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along
            And next on the mike is my man Hank:
            Come on, Hank, sing that song

            (Performed by Big Bank Hank but written by Grandmaster Caz)
            Check it out, I'm the C-A-S, an' the O-V-A
            And the rest is F-L-Y
            Ya see: I go by the code of the doctor of the mix
            And these reasons I'll tell ya why
            Ya see: I'm six foot one and I'm tons of fun
            And I dress to a T
            Ya see: I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali and I dress so viciously
            I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
            That definitely ain't the wack
            I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac
            So after school, I take a dip in the pool
            Which is really on the wall
            I got a color TV, so I can see
            The Knicks play basketball
            Hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards
            More money than a sucker could ever spend
            But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the rucker
            Not a dime til I made it again
            Ya go: Hotel, Motel, whatcha gonna do today? (say what?)
            Ya say: I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin,
            Drive off in a def O.J.
            Everybody go: Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn
            Say: If your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend
            Master Gee, am I mellow?
            It's on you so what you gonna do?

            (Master Gee)
            Well it's on n on n on on n on
            The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
            I said M-A-S, T-E-R, a G with a double E
            I said I go by the unforgettable name
            Of the man they call the Master Gee
            Well, my name is known all over the world
            By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
            I'm goin down in history
            As the baddest rapper there ever could be
            Now I'm feelin the highs and ya feelin the lows
            The beat starts gettin into your toes
            Ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet
            And movin' your body while you're sittin in your seat
            And then: man! Ya start doin the freak
            I said: man! Right outta your seat
            Then ya throw your hands high in the air
            Ya rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriere
            Ya rockin to the beat without a care
            With the sureshot MC:s for the affair
            Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
            But I rap to the beat just the same
            I got a little face and a pair of brown eyes
            All I'm here to do ladies is hypnotize
            Singin on n n on n on n on
            The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
            Singin on n n on n on on n on

            I guess by now you can take a hunch
            And find that i am the baby of the bunch
            But that's okay - I still keep in stride
            Cause all I'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
            Singin on n n on n on n on

            Cause I'm one of a kind and I'll shock your mind
            I'll put tic-tic-tickets in your behind
            I said 1-2-3-4, come on girls get on the floor

            I said 1-2-3-4 tell me Wonder Mike what are you waitin for?

            (Wonder Mike)

            Cause ya rock and ya roll with so much soul,
            You could rock till you're a hundred and one years old
            I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
            But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast

            I said I can't wait til the end of the week
            When I'm rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
            And attempt to raise your body heat
            Just blow your mind so that you can't speak
            And do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
            And let it change up to a dance called the freak
            And when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
            Rest a little while so ya dont get weak
            I know a man named Hank
            He has more rhymes than a serious bank
            So come on Hank, sing that song
            To the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong

            (Performed by Big Bank Hank but Written by Grandmaster Caz)
            Well, I'm Imp the Dimp, the ladies pimp
            The women fight for my delight
            But I'm the grandmaster with the three MC:s
            That shock the house for the young ladies
            And when you come inside, into the front
            You do the freak, spank, and do the bump
            And when the sucker MC:s try to prove a point
            We're a treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
            From sun to sun and from day to day
            I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
            Because they say that miracles never cease
            I've created a devastating masterpiece
            I'm gonna rock the mike til you can't resist
            Everybody! I say it goes like this:
            Well I was comin home late one dark afternoon
            Reporter stopped me for a interview
            She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
            That I'm vicious on the mike and the turntables
            This young reporter I did adore
            So I rocked a vicious rhyme like i never did before
            She said "Damn, fly guy! I'm in love with you!
            The Casanova legend must have been true!"
            I said "By the way baby, what's your name?"
            She said "I go by the name of Lois Lane,
            And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can
            Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman"
            I said "He's a fairy, I do suppose -
            Flyin through the air in pantyhose
            He may be very sexy or even cute
            But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit!"
            I said "You need a man who's got finesse
            And his whole name across his chest
            He may be able to fly all through the night
            But can he rock a party til the early light?
            He can't satisfy you with his little worm
            But I can bust you out with my super sperm"
            I go: Do it! I go: Do it! I go: Do it, do it, do it!
            And I'm here, and I'm there, I'm Big Bank Hank, I'm everywhere
            Just throw your hands up in the air
            And party hardy like you just don't care
            Let's do it, don't stop y'all, a-tick-a-tock y'all, you don't stop
            I go: Hotel, Motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
            I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spank, drive off in a def O.J.
            Everybody go: Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn
            You say: If your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend
            I say skip, dive, what can I say?
            I can't fit em all inside my O.J.
            So I just take half and bust them out
            I give the rest to Master Gee, so he could shock the house

            (Master Gee)
            It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
            I was rockin to the beat, and feelin all right
            Everybody was dancin on the floor
            Doin' all the things they never did before
            And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
            She came into the bar, she came into the scene
            As she traveled deeper inside the room
            All the fellas checked out her white sassoon
            She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
            Then she turned around and shook her behind
            So I said to myself, "It's time for me to release
            My vicious rhyme, I call my masterpiece"
            And now people in the house, this is just for you
            A little rap to make you boogaloo
            Now the group ya hear is called Phase Two
            And let me tell ya somethin: we're a helluva crew
            Once a week we're on the street
            Just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
            For you to party ya got to have the moves
            So we'll get right down and give you the groove
            For you to dance you gotta be hype
            So we'll get right down and make you rock
            Now the system's on and the girls are there
            Ya definitely have a rockin affair
            But let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact:
            That to have a party, ya got to have a rap
            So when the party's over, you're makin it home
            And tryin' to sleep before the break of dawn
            And while ya sleepin' ya start to dream
            And thinkin' how ya danced on the disco scene
            My name appears in your mind
            Yeah, a name you know that was right on time
            It was Phase Two just a doin a do
            Rockin' ya down cause ya know we could
            To the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
            Come alive girls, get on your feet
            To the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
            To the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
            To the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
            On n on into the break of dawn
            Now I got a man comin on right now
            He's guaranteed to throw down
            He goes by the name of Wonder Mike
            Come on Wonder Mike, do what ya like

            (Wonder Mike)
            I say: A can of beer that's sweeter than honey,
            Like a millionaire that has no money,
            Like a rainy day that is not wet,
            Like a gambling fiend that does not bet,
            Like Dracula without his fangs,
            Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang,
            Like collard greens that don't taste good,
            Like a tree that's not made out of wood,
            Like goin up and not comin down,
            Is just like the beat without the sound no sound
            To the beat beat, ya do the freak
            Everybody just rock and dance to the beat
            Have you ever went over a friend's house to eat
            And the food just ain't no good?
            I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed
            And the chicken tastes like wood
            So you try to play it off like you think you can
            By sayin' that you're full
            And then your friend says: "Momma, he's just being polite
            He ain't finished - uh uh, that's bull!"
            So your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
            And you say that you already ate
            And your friend says: "Man - there's plenty of food!"
            So you pile some more on your plate
            While the stinky foods steamin, your mind starts to dreamin
            Of the moment that it's time to leave
            And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin
            Into something that looks like cheese
            So you say: "That's it - I got to leave this place
            I don't care what these people think
            I'm just sittin here makin myself nauseous
            With this ugly food that stinks"
            So you bust out the door while it's still closed
            Still sick from the food you ate
            And then you run to the store for quick relief
            From a bottle of Kaopectate
            And then you call your friend two weeks later
            To see how he has been
            And he says: "I understand about the food,
            Baby bubbah, but we're still friends"
            With a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
            The hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin
            To the bang bang boogie
            Say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
            I said: Hank? Can ya rock?
            Can ya rock to the rhythm that just dont stop?
            Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo?
            I said: Come on make the make the people move

            (Performed by Big Bank Hank but Written by Grandmaster Caz)
            I go to the halls and then ring the bell
            Because I am the man with the clientele
            And if ya ask me why I rock so well
            A big bank, I got clientele
            And from the time I was only six years old
            I never forgot what I was told
            It was the best advice that I ever had,
            It came from my wise dear old dad
            He said: "Sit down punk, I wanna talk to you
            And don't say a word until I'm through
            Now there's a time to laugh, a time to cry
            A time to live and a time to die
            A time to break and a time to chill
            To act civilized or act real ill
            But whatever ya do in your lifetime
            Ya never let a MC steal your rhyme"
            So from sixty six til this very day
            I'll always remember what he had to say
            So when the sucker MC:s try to chump my style
            I let them know that I'm versatile
            I got style, finesse and a little black book
            That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look
            But there's a thing that separates you from me
            And that's called originality
            Because my rhymes are on from what you heard
            I didn't even bite and not a god damn word
            And I say a little more later on tonight
            So the sucker MC:s can bite all night
            A-tick-a-tock y'all, a beat beat y'all
            A lets rock y'all, ya don't stop
            Ya go: Hotel, Motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
            Ya say: I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin, drive off in a def OJ
            Everybody go: Hotel Motel, Holiday Inn
            Ya say: If your girl starts acting up, then you take her friends
            A like that y'all to the beat y'all
            Beat beat y'all ya don't stop
            A Master Gee? Am I mellow?

                Bob Dylan - Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts

                The festival was over and the boys were all planning for a fall
                The cabaret was quiet except for the drilling in the wall
                The curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
                Anyone with any sense had already left town
                He was standing in the doorway looking like the Jack of Hearts.

                He moved across the mirrored room "Set it up for everyone" he said
                Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads
                Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin
                "Could you kindly tell me friend what time the show begins ?"
                Then he moved into the corner face down like the Jack of Hearts.

                Backstage the girls were playing five card stud by the stairs
                Lily had two queens she was hoping for a third to match her pair
                Outside the streets were filling up, the window was open wide
                A gentle breeze was blowing, you could feel it from inside
                Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts.

                Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine
                He made his usual entrance looking so dandy and so fine
                With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place
                He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste
                But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts.

                Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town
                She slipped in through the side door looking like a queen without a crown
                She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear
                "Sorry darling, that I'm late", but he didn't seem to hear
                He was starring into space over at the Jack of Hearts.

                "I know I've seen that face somewhere" Big Jim was thinking to himself
                "Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebodys shelf"
                But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim
                And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him
                Starring at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts.

                Lily was a princess she was fair-skinned and precious as a child
                She did whatever she had to do she had that certain flash every time she smiled
                She'd come away from a broken home had lots of strange affairs
                With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere
                But she's never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts.
                The hanging judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined
                The drilling in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind
                It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring
                And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king
                No nothing ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts.

                Rosemary started drinking hard and seeing her reflection in the knife
                She was tired of the attention tired of playing the role of Big Jim's wife
                She had done a lot of bad things even once tried suicide
                Was looking to do just one good deed before she died
                She was gazing to the future riding on the Jack of Hearts.

                Lily took her dress off and buried it away
                "Has your luck turn out" she laughed at him'.
                "Well I guess you must have known it would someday
                Be careful not to touch the wall there's a brand new coat of paint
                I'm glad to see you're still alive you're looking like a saint"
                Down the hallway footsteps were coming for the Jack of Hearts.

                The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair
                "There's something funny going on" he said " I can just feel it in the air"
                He went to get the hanging judge but the hanging judge was drunk
                As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
                There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts.

                No one knew the circumstance, but they say it happened pretty quick
                The door to the dressing room burst open a cold revolver clicked
                And big Jim was standing there ya couldn't say surprised
                Rosemary right beside him steady in her eyes
                She was with big Jim but she was leaning to the Jack of Hearts.

                Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall
                And cleaned out the bank safe it's said that they got off with quite a haul
                In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground
                For one more member who had business back in town
                But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts.

                The next day was hanging day the sky was overcast and black
                Big Jim lay covered up killed by a penknife in the back
                And Rosemary on the gallows she didn't even blink
                The hanging judge was sober he hadn't had a drink
                The only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts.
                The cabaret was empty now a sign said. "Closed for repair"
                Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair
                She was thinking about her father who she was rarely saw
                Thinking about Rosemary and thinking about the law
                But most of all she was thinking about the Jack of Hearts.

                  "Well we all have a face that we hide away forever, though we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone. Some are satin, some are silk, some are steel and some are leather, they're the faces of the Stranger and we love to try them all."...The Stranger...Billy Joel...a song that maybe most of us here can attest too?

                        i just can't go. you win again.

                        this heart of mine could never see
                        what every one saw but me.
                        just trusting you was my great sin
                        what can i do. you win again.
