Same Another New Year! Same you! Shame on You!

I have to make damn sure where i am heading, heaven can wait, i am only watching the skies hoping for the best but expecting the worst. honestly i always wonder are you gonna drop the bomb or not? coz i dont really believe anyone at all even myself.
For me ,It's so hard to get old without a cause, I don't want to perish like a fading horse galloping away in labour all my life.
Youth's like diamonds and fun in the sun and diamonds are fun forever.

But m forsaking all that coz nothing beats my dreams for her .i keep on repeating this to myself and now this is the last time she's gonna hear this from me. so m telling her, there are so many adventures that couldn't happen today, so many songs i am trying to forgot to play and so many dreams swinging out of the blue and i am just gonna let them high and dry.

coz just like i told her before( and right now), i am fed up of being fed up.

It might be a placebo or the real thing, i ain't sure but i work for a cause....and m decided.m gonna let them come true or else m so outta here.......

keep smiling faker!

Merry aXe-mass (Cold Turkey)

(These)

Time kills me.
Seasons fail me.
I just can’t see
(Why)
I wanna fly
I don’t wanna let it be
I want a change
But ‘m stuck in this orphanage.
Mebbe they will hear me someday
(hear my cries, my song )
And take me away
for a Flight all along
on board a spaceship
of freedom and friendship.
I belong somewhere up above.
I long for a whole lotta love.
Though it is somewhere
It is nowhere.
It is there in the mind
But then it’s something you can’t ever find
Here in this place
full of empty spaces.

I don’t know
Whom they are trying to kid?
The Psuedo joy is contagious and rabid.
It`s Christmas time they say and so they fell a tree
(Decorate)
Fill a kill, a turkey
But don`t they know it’s all foul
Hey!The plants and the birds have souls
(Celebrate)
The coming of another new year
But only to the end they are getting near.

everyone thinks` m a raincloud (when i ain't looking)

I am the king of dreaming in a wishful way when I am wide awake. Maybe it's true and I'm just a fool but there comes a time and I see that what I'm needing is a feeling to believe in .It's an unknown state in the place I cant find, and I have kinda lost my way but I keep the faith with an open mind. Someday I will find a love that runs deep through me and everything will flow. I feel better when I hear them say, everything will be wonderful someday. I like to laugh so my friends won't know. I can smile with all these tears in my eyes. I tell the kids that it is all okay .I think thoughts that I know are bad but I close my eyes when I am too sad. Then I count to ten and hope it's over when I open them. I make believe that I have a new life and I dream adventures that would make me smile.
Yet my world is on fire, everything I touch fall to bits. I'm waste deep in the burning meadows of my mind. I have been in the engine in cold December, shooting fire from the hose. I thought I could fit in, blend in all the mess where nothing is hard, nothing is precious, and nothing is smooth or flawless. But I am no longer amused. I want the things that I had before, like a Star wars picture in my bedroom door. I wish I could count to ten and make everything alright. But that is the way I like it and I am never bored. Beauty has got a live Me, and. though I aint the sharpest tool in the shed, just a nicotine junkie singing for a kodacam but it feel so good being cheap. I watch the skies for the mystical machine gunfire, and that is the riddle of my life.
In the age of the chimpanzees, I was a monkey. I was half a human and I looked for wars' solution. I was a hundred miles in the ocean, I didn't show no emotion. But now, the cold hearted boy I used to be is changing; still I am learning the things I ought to know by now. It's under the table, so I need something more to show, somehow!
Still, I am happy, I am feeling glad. I have got sunshine in a bag, in my back. I am useless, but not for long; my future is coming on. It's coming on, it's coming up roses! I'm in the sky tonight, I am breaking through, I am bending spoons, I am keeping flowers in full bloom, I m looking for answers from the great beyond. I'm on my way.

Morning Glory,Different story

In the year 1995 the Britpop movement reached its zenith. The famous "Battle Of The Bands" found Blur and Oasis as prime contenders for the title "Kings of Britpop". Spurred on by the media, the "Battle" was headed by two groups - Oasis' brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher representing the North of England, and from Blur, Damon Albarn and Alex James representing the South. This "Battle" was epitomised when, after some back-handed marketing, Oasis' Single "Roll With It" and Blur's "Country House" were released in the same week. The event caught the public's imagination and gained mass media attention - even featuring on the BBC News. While this battle raged on Pulp took the spots with the magnificent single "Common People" and Suede with their "Trash" and "Beautiful Ones".

Kings of Britpop - Blur vs OasisIn the end, Blur won, selling 274,000 copies to Oasis' 216,000 and the songs charting at number one and number two respectively. However, in the long-run, Oasis' album (What's the Story) Morning Glory won the popular vote over Blur’s The Great Escape, outselling it by a factor of 4 or more. In the UK, What's the Story spent a total of three years on the charts, selling over eighteen million copies and becoming the second best selling British album of all time. Oasis' second album is widely considered to be the definitive Britpop album capturing the essence of the attitude and the Cool Britannia movement.

(In Britain and Ireland it became popular for a time when asked "What's the story?" (lit. "How are you?"), to answer with "Morning glory".) The media went even further, branding the movement "Third British Invasion", because of it massive popularity at the time and because acts represented particular musical influence or movement in their music, which led to more or less media-generated conflicts between the bands, as was the case with previous bands and movements.

there i go

walking for miles and miles
down these crowded streets
it's been a while!
i've been chasing flies
trying to catch just a single smile.
Now it hurts me deep inside
more than my feet,
sore and hardened though!
sore and hardened enough
walking down those empty streets
full of people going nowhere.

Now i wish i had taken the other road
`should have ignored the signs on the boards,
Neon lights of happiness
just a make-up to hide the darkness
a fill-up for all the emptiness!

All these people working in graveyard shifts
dressed in thier funeral suits,
An illusion of life and bodies awake
While It is all just a gathering at a Wake.
The Girl could just go drown in the Lake.
They are just Names
Everything is all the Same.

Manic Street Preachers

In your library (0 pBlackwood, South Wales (1986 – present)

Manic Street Preachers (often known colloquially as “The Manics”) are a Welsh rock band often associated with the resurgence of British rock in the early 90s, who gained mainstream popularity in the UK at the time. They are known for their intelligent and often political lyrics and have a dedicated cult following. Although during the early part of their career they were regarded as a punk rock band, their music is now often generally regarded as alternative rock, due to changes in their sound. Co-lyricist and guitarist Richey James Edwards (Richey James, as he preferred to be known) mysteriously disappeared in 1995; his whereabouts are unknown.

Politically, the Manics appear as a socialist group — a stance inflected by their working class upbringing in Blackwood, South Wales (they grew up during the miners’ strike of the 1980s) as evidenced by their often highly politicised lyrics and actions (they once dedicated an award to Arthur Scargill, leader of the National Union of Mineworkers and later the Socialist Labour Party). The band also played a highly publicized gig in Cuba.

They came together in 1986, when James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Sean Moore and rhythm guitarist Flicker formed Betty Blue in the small South Wales town of Blackwood. Two years later, Flicker had left and Nicky’s friend Richey Edwards (previously the group’s driver) joined in his place.

2005's Takk... brought Sigur Ros an audience they never expected to reach, the transcendent strings and choirs of "Hoppípolla" gracing just about every radio station in the world. After 2007's live album Hvarf/Heim and film release Heima the band returned with Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, the meaning translating roughly as With Buzzing in Our Ears We Play Endlessly. The Icelandic group used the new album to strip back some of the ethereal elements of their previous work, and recently finished a world tour which saw the group playing as a stripped down four piece for the first time in over seven years.

Launching the album with free download “Gobbledigook” it was clear that the new album was going to be a punchier affair. Erratic drum thumps and howls litter the track and singer Jón Þór Birgisson's vocals are breathier and deeper than on many Sigur Rós classics. Jónsi's trademark non-language Hopelandic makes fewer appearances on Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust than it does in previous albums, and “All Alright” became the first Sigur Rós track to feature vocals in English.

How To Discern Between Indie and Emo Music

(This is an other article i found while researching on the net and in continuation of the ongoing Issue i have been writing about, i have uploaded here .I just wanna say sorry to the writer if i have infringed on her copyright Whatever)
Anyway here it goes:

Some independent bands may indeed have an Emo sound, but this does not make them the same thing. They are both blanket terms that cover not only musical genres but lifestyle choices as well.
A Snapshop of All Things Indie
Indie is a shortened term for "Independent Rock." Simply put, music that is produced independently instead of by mainstream corporations. Indie musicians are never confined by the restrictions of a major label, which gives them complete control over the quality and content of their music. While it may be more difficult to DIY in the music world, the rewards that accompany complete musical freedom are much more important to musicians taking this route.
There is no definite sound that accompanies the term Indie. Rather, there are no required musical rules and regulations to ensure that something is considered Indie. The only actual requirement is that a major label does not put out the music.
That being said, there is a certain sound that has developed within the Indie community. There are a great deal of emotive Indie bands that pride themselves on complex acoustic guitar lines and multi-faceted poetic lyrics. These bands, in turn, influence other bands and the signature sound is carried on. While these bands do tend to be more emotive than traditional bands, they aren't necessarily Emo. But it is obvious where the confusion comes from, as you may be able to list a few Indie bands under both terms (Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Cursive). Though, this sound, in no way represents all of Indie music as the term covers a wide range of artists and styles ranging from the angst filled punk rock of the band Saving Face all the way to the folksy antics of singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco.
A Snapshop of All Things Emo
The term Emo is relatively new, it refers to music that is particularly emotional or musicians that are partial to spontaneous and strongly emotional performances. While there are no clear qualifications to be considered an Emo musician,a certain sound is generally associated with the genre. Although, sometimes there is much controversy about whether or not to label a band Emo.
The Emo movement started out as a sub genre of hardcore Punk music, but that isn't necessarily true anymore. While many Emo musicians do embody the soft core Punk Rock spirit, this is not required. Emo music often employs soft guitar riffs accompanied by melancholy lyrics that tend to dwell on love and loss. This genre has been heavily marketed and has seen much commercial success in the recent past. There are no regulations on who can produce the music, it can be heavily corporate music or independently released as long as it is highly emotive.
Bands like, Alkaline Trio, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, AFI, Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance can all be considered Emo bands.
Thus, Indie and Emo music are quite different. Indie musicians must put out their own albums; this is what makes them Indie. Emo musicians must produce heavily emotional tracks, this is what makes them Emo. Again, they do cross over, but they are not the same thing.

Poor You and Poor Me

Whenever the heavens shed its tears

To drench you in torrents of pain

And you need shelter from the rain.

Somehow I always sense your fear,

Like you are still there

Even though you are long gone

Far away from me,

forlorn and so left alone.

And I don’t wanna just let it be.

I can see just what you’re trying to hide.

Though you need me by your side,

You just don’t wanna be true!

You just don’t wanna be You!

But I don’t wanna just let it be.

Say what you say.

Go put on that badge

Proclaiming “I am Brave,”

all the way to the Grave.

You are wheeling around in an empty cage.

Though you deserve it all

I can’t bear to see you fall

I wanna set you free

I don’t wanna just let it be.

The Last Shadow Puppets

The Last Shadow Puppets is a project of Alex Turner@Arctic Monkeys & Miles Kane of The Rascals, along with James Ford, a composer and produce, on the drums. In August 2007 NME reported that Arctic Monkeys lead singer Alex Turner and lead singer of then newly formed The Rascals, Miles Kane would be recording an album with James Ford producing and playing drums.Turner & Kane became friends when Kane's previous band The Little Flames played support for Arctic Monkeys on their May/June 2005 UK tour. The Little Flames also supported Arctic Monkeys on their April 2007 UK tour, when Turner and Kane wrote songs together for a collaborative project.Their collaboration extended into Arctic Monkeys material, with Kane playing guitar on "505", the closing track of second Arctic Monkeys album Favourite Worst Nightmare and on "Fluorescent Adolescent" b-sides "The Bakery" and "Plastic Tramp". Kane also guested on "505" and "Plastic Tramp" at several Arctic Monkeys gigs in 2007, including the summer mini-festivals at Lancashire County Cricket Club and Arctic Monkeys' 2007 appearance at Glastonbury. The initial recording of the album took place in France in late August 2007 with additional material added between August and December. In December Owen Pallett was appointed to arrange the strings, brass and percussion for the album with the 22-piece London Metropolitan Orchestra. During the recording of the album Turner and Kane hired a documentary film-making team, Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull, to capture the story of the project. The Age of the Understatement On 20 February 2008, the duo revealed they would be known as The Last Shadow Puppets and that their album would be titled The Age of the Understatement to be released on 21 April 2008. The album went straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart. The first single, "The Age of the Understatement" was released the week before on 14 April, with new song "Two Hearts in Two Weeks" and covers of Billy Fury's "Wondrous Place" and David Bowie's "In the Heat of the Morning" (a song previously mentioned by Turner as a favourite as b-sides. The duo have said they took inspiration from Scott Walker and early Bowie. The second single, "Standing Next to Me", was released on 7 July 2008.The third single from the album will be "My Mistakes Were Made for You". The album was nominated for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize but lost out to Elbow's The Seldom Seen Kid. Second album Kane mentioned in an interview with The Sun that The Last Shadow Puppets will probably record new material in 2009. The band played their first ever show in Brooklyn, New York at Sound Fix Records on 4 March 2008, playing a second gig at the Lower East Side's Cake Shop the following night. The Last Shadow Puppets played a short two song set on 5 April at the Lock Tavern in Camden, London. They played "Meeting Place" and "Standing Next to Me" in support of Remi Nicole, who organised the party both to celebrate her birthday and to raise money for MS sufferers. The band have also performed on Jools Holland's show Later... with Jools Holland, with producer James Ford on drums, Stephen Fretwell on bass, John Ashton on keyboards and Owen Pallett conducting the string accompaniment. The duo also played on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 5 July. The band played a secret set at Glastonbury on 28 June 2008 with Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders playing drums on "The Age of the Understatement" and Jack White of The Raconteurs and The White Stripes playing a guitar solo on "Wondrous Place". On the 4th of July 2008, the band performed Standing Next to Me as part of a birthday present for Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 1. They also performed a cover of Rihanna's SOS. The band and a 16 piece orchestra played two intimate live shows as warm up sessions for Reading and Leeds Festivals 2008, at Portsmouth Guildhall and Oxford New Theatre. In October and November 2008, the band embarked on their first full headlining tour of the UK, which was generally well-received by both fans and critics.

the thin fat ine between indie and emo

ok ,this aint mine...but i have been researching a lot on these and these are some of the excerpts that i found.NEway m posting more...gonna keep it coming,so so long folks...wait for some more on this......


Indie comes from independent and is characterised by perceived independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture. In the UK, indie music charts have been compiled since the early 80s. The word "indie" is often used to refer specifically to various genres or sounds in a realm of music that runs parallel to more commercial music Indie is not strictly a genre of music although the term is often used to reference the sound of specific bands and the bands they have influenced, but is often used as a term covering a wide range of artists and styles, connected by some degree of allegiance to the values of underground culture. Indie artists are concerned more with self-expression than commercial considerations. Indie artists of any particular time often go against the prevailing trends.

The term indie is now used to identify variety of bands like The Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, The Kooks, Interpol...

Emo is a genre of music and has come to describe several independent variations of music originally in the USA. The classification of bands as "emo" is often controversial. In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore". The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and strongly emotional during performances. Bands have gone to great lengths to explain why they don't qualify as "emo". In many cases, the term has simply been attached to them because of musical similarities, a common fashion sense, or because of the band's popularity within the emo scene not because the band adheres to emo as a music genre.

The term emo is used to identify a wide variety of bands like Death Cab for Cutie ( emo band??? ), Fall Out Boy, From First to Last, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Story of the Year, Taking Back Sunday, The Used , Underoath...

Back with Everybody

One of the Fab and my Fav British band, Verve have reformed. The band fronted by Richard Ashcroft, have decided to get back together after almost a decade apart to tour and record new material.(GURANTEED SWELLERIFIK)

The band which comprises of singer Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Pete Sailsbury, in a joint statement, said, "WE are getting back together for the joy of music"
The Verve went through numerous bust ups and temporary splits disbanded for good in 1999, after Ashcroft and McCabe's strained relationship finally snapped. Their 1997 album 'Urban Hymns' achieved huge success and spawned a number of hit singles including 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' and 'The Drugs Don't Work'. After the split, Ashcroft went on to release three solo albums, 'Alone With Everybody', 'Human Conditions' and 'Keys To The World'.

And now here's what they have delivered , another set of Urban Hymns....

Considering that in a career nearly spanning 20 years that this really is the Verve's fourth album it's not really surprising that there's an aura of anticipation in some quarters. While the band's most obvious fellow-travellers, Primal Scream, have at least managed their personal lives well enough to stick together, the rock 'n' roll soap opera of drugs, exhaustion and Richard Ashcroft and guitarist Nick McCabe's feuding lends a suitably lurid subtext to the music. But it doesn't show on the surface. The band sound unbelievably healthy here.

Anyone expecting a new direction will be disappointed. While Ashcroft's solo years have tightened a few of these ten songs, by returning to the more spacey territory of their classic years the band have delivered an album that will go down smoothly with fans. We get the epic, anthemic moments such as opener, Sit And Wonder, and first single Love Is Noise, alongside the cavernous, reverb-drenched, trippy numbers like Judas ("you know the trip has just begun"). Only Valium Skies may perhaps lurk a little too close to the strings-and-repetition formula of Bittersweet Symphony. .

Ashcroft's faux-american accent still pays homage to Mick Jagger, especially on the Beggars Banquet-era lurch of Rather Be, yet, overall, Forth is really owned by McCabe. His multi-layered, jitttery psychedelia always provides enough distraction to keep the material sounding fresher than it might have. There's a sense of the band taking the leash off and letting it hang, like a post-rave Floyd. Numbness combines David Gilmour's early 70s licks with Ashcroft whispering and intoning like the ghost of Malcolm Mooney. All very cosmic. The only place where this goes a tad too far is on the meandering Columbo - a thudding stadium thumper bolted onto a three-minute jam. Yet even here the production almost rescues it, the looped strings being mind-meltingly intriguing as they blend with more skyscraping six-string work. There really are some genuinely haunting moments here, not least the basic piano vamp of I See Houses.

As to whether you find this kind of exploration worthy of your attention in this post-Roses era is down to whether you missed them in the first place. Forth won't convert anyone who never bought into the band's second-hand stonerisms and Northern braggadocio. However it does mark a very considerable return to active service. Already given a heroes welcome at every festival appearance so far, it seems that for the faithful amongst us, The Verve are well and truly back.

enjoy the silence

And the wise man say I don't want to hear your voice
And the thin man say I don't want to hear your voice
And they're cursing me, and they won't let me be
And there's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do.
Stop Whispering, start shouting
Stop Whispering, start shouting
And my mother say we spit on your son some more
And the buildings say we spit on your face some more
And the feeling is, that there's something wrong
'Cause I can't find the words and I can't find the songs.
Stop Whispering, start shouting
Stop Whispering, start shouting
Dear sir, I have a complaint.
Dear sir, I have a complaint. Can't remember what it is.
Doesn't matter anyway.Doesn't matter anyway
Stop Whispering, stop whispering
Stop Whispering, stop whispering
Start Shou.............

I Trip on Scooters and Score on BritPlacebos.......

There is nothing i Regret
As i Trainspot talking sick in my head
on an Inspiral Carpet
and throwing up my meal on Sundays.
While
all around the world
all their people right there right now
seem swell and fine.
So many people
at the country house drinking up the sunshine
in a symposium, happy on Mondays
like the summertime's in bloom
when it's a long cold play winter.
But it ain't enough to be sad,
(it's all in my mind) to pulp your lush to gloom.
It's jes a cover version gone bad.
A Bad Cover Version of Park Life is still a Blur!
Oh yeah!
Damn my education
i can't find
the words to say about the things caught in my mind.
I have a story to tell
of the day we caught the train.
I don`t have enough education to perform my speeches
but unlike a Troubadour
i can write as it really is,
A picture in words better be read
painted from my fantasies
colored in rainbows
(an Ocean Colour Scene)
like a boy drawn rather badly,
a boy with an Arab strap.
But where is Belle and Sebastian
and what's a Wonderwall anyway?

Is it a New Order
or jes a mull historical society
or
a Charlatan
going down to the lake?
but then
Don't Tell me
even though
The silence Is Killing me.
But i believe it's a
Ten Storey Love Song,
catatonic as it was built with
stone by stone roses.
coz
i got roses in the hospital
from the generation terrorists.

Anyone can play guitar

The Telecaster, a dual-pickup, solid-body electric guitar made by Fender is a simple model but its effective design and revolutionary sound broke ground and set trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Originally launched as the Broadcaster in the autumn of 1950, it was the first guitar of its kind to be produced on a substantial scale and Its commercial production can be traced as far back as the spring of 1950, when the single- and dual-pickup Esquire models were first sold. From that time to the present, the Telecaster has been in continuous production in one form or another, making it the world's senior solid-body electric guitar.

some might say......well they did ask....

Which Indie\Garage rock band should I be in! ( not that i care, but here is what i got......

You are apart of The Strokes! You are always drinking any kind of alcohol and swearing your ass off! Mentally, you aren't always there, but creatively, you are one of a kind! Definitely a fun person to be around. Oh, and did I mention you get drunk lots because everyone, except for Julian, has been taken over by Girlfriend Land? No? Well, it's true.

In the Heat of Wheat

Were you ever so nice
back
in the Republic of Rice!
Now
It's far too late
to save you
somehow
in your adopted Big City of Hate!
Your fish drowns
in the torrent
of ferment!
You are an Octogenarian
going Pseudo Vegetarian.
But
you never did know
You have mutated into a Vegetable.
You don't show
You hide and say i aint stable.
But i don't change
while you rearrange
yourself to become some other self.
Can't you see
You don't have no Identity,
You are jes a Commodity!

whatever they say that's what i aint!

I jes took this quizzy thingy and well jes look at the results, jes take a look at my latest post right after this one :

Are You Indie, Alternative, Emo or Prep?

Indie




Alright, so we know that no one that is REALLY indie would ever SAY they're indie, but you are indie! You like things on the underground. You know all the bands coming off Matador, Subpop and Kill Rock Stars and will sport t-shirts highlighting obscure bands like Delta 5 and The Magnetic Fields. We recommend you listen to Pavement, Belle and Sebastian and Neutral Milk Hotel. Shop vintage. It's the only way to really find those pieces that no one else is wearing.

Devil's Haircut (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)

This one is for you all soulless souls, musically deprived,deaf-eared unlisteners.........




Here's PAVEMENT:



CUT YOUR HAIR

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair

Do you think it's gonna make him change?
"I'm just a boy with a new haircut
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charge in like a puzzle
Hitmen wearing muzzles
Hesitate you die
Look around, around
The second drummer drowned
His telephone is found
Music scene is crazy
Bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I remember lying
I don't remember a line
I don't remember a word
But I don't care, I care, I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?
Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!Songs mean a lot when songs are bought
And so are you
Let's run down to the practice room
attention and fame
a career,
career, career, career
Korea Korea Korea!

And KAREN O:








No No No :

Well im fozen in
like a soldier
don't know where it stays all over the place
time froze
like an ocean
don't know the taste of a never ending ache


No No No
Why i hurry when im home
I hurry when im home
No No No
Why i hurry when im home
I go I'll go

Its really not bad not worse than you thought
He'll never come back hes the man you dropped
he'll never come back hes the man you loved

Its not that bad not worse than you thought
he'll never come back hes the man you dropped
he'll never come back hes the man you loved

I told her
I told her
I told her No No No

We are Scientists, They might be Giants

Over the years, i lost myself and i have been searching for me ever since, questioning, seeking ............now that i got all the answers, i have forgotten the Question????????
but then I m.......
............I am a scientist - I seek to understand me. All of my impurities and evils yet unknown!
I am a journalist - I write to you to show you, I am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me
And I know whats right, But I'm losing sight, ( my weight too)
Of the clues for which I search and choose, to abuse, to just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind!
I am a pharmacist, Prescriptions! I will fill you, Potions, pills and medicines to ease your painful lives.
I am a lost soul, I shoot myself with rock & roll
The hole I dig is bottomless But nothing else can set me free......
Everything is right! Everything works out right! Everything fades from sight
because thats alright with me..................

.....................I am a tree - I show my age when I don't cry!
I have the leaves that will fall off when wind blows by!
Don't strip off my bark - I have been stripped of it before!
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store!
You are a bird - you're taking off in every way!
Say the last word until there is nothing more to say!
Don't interrupt - you know the squirrels are my friends!
Get off my limb - for I will break before I bend!
I'm planning to see!
I"m planning to feel you all over me!
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest!
Come get the sap out of me!
I am a tree!Fruitless and free!
No symmetry!Touch me and see!
I am a tree - counting my rings will do no good!
I wont live long but I would be with you if I could!
When you take flight, remember me to one who lives there!
Since you have flown, there's something special in the air!

ButterFlyAway

Yesterday I went outside
With my mommas mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast
Im sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didnt mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The ghost slips away
Smell you on my hand for days
I cant wash away your scent
If Im a dog then youre a bitch
I guess youre as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly
Im sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didnt mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The ghost slips away
I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I aint never coming back
Im sorry
Im sorry
Im sorry........................

Reel Real

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?



So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers, all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person, but that's going to change, I'm going to change. This is the last of this sort of thing. I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm going to be just like you: the job, the family, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die.

The Happy Grinch

Here i stand cast into stone

and for a while i smile

Somehow forgetting Now

when it's telling me that some thing's gone

but i couldn't care more or the less.

(never did knew)

What's in fashion, what's in style!

How do i dress, how do i become someone else!

Can you please tell me how?

I am asking you

(It ain't nothing new)

I am a statue

I can't move on, not on my own,

All alone, but i can hold on and stand

measuring the distances as tears they drop down

from my view into the sand

where you have put me on ,

A broken pedestal.

I am persevering to make a stance

with this brimful of arrogance and pride

yet there ain't anything i can ever hide.

So let it show, Let everyone know

I falter, it hurts and i do cry

now remembering somehow

what there's left is nothing at all.

Birthday Holly ( Just Weezing for Nothing)

i cant remember anything that happened at the time of my birth, but i heard tales that some guys in superfunny cloaks with earpieces spanked me and made me cry and all. What did we ever do to these guys that made them so violent?Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours.Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time. Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly.Oh-Oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore.I don't care what they say about us anyway.I don't care 'bout that. I suppose that is worse way enough to start a carbon based life or whatever they call it. I just consider it an Act and now the Act Second is over, I am in the third waiting for the curtains to fall, But i don't want no Applause and there will be no encore, a play No more..
anyway thanks for coming or at least for pretending, you lovable phoneys.
Lyrically, musically& madly not yours,
Danny Rotten

Birthday( I don't wanna grow up)

did you ever really wish you want to die on your Birthday? perhaps to make just one thing whole and right, i mean a perfect length of existence, have a total sum not fractions and points, unlike all the fragments and broken pieces that everything in our lives has been...i don't know about you guys but i do.......
i really wish i would have by the age of twenty seven, but now that i have exceeded Four, it seems like i am continuing on and on no matter how hard i try to self destruct and pave my way to the grave.....No i aint talking about committing suicide, hanging by the rope and blowing up myself and all, it is just an easy and relaxed way out that i have been striving for, maybe forget how to breathe and all, I wish that was one symptom of Alzheimer, then there will be no old age homes and all, people could blow out in all their glory and not live to tell all their sordid tales of old.
Boy,who needs history when you cant even manage the present and well you futurists too: forget tomorrow, the warming and saving the whale and things, call me chicken but they do die everyday, so what about that? Sorry guys, the way i see it , it is all a Sham and so much a shame...this way we survive in this pitiful existence on a forlorn planet, so better we die soon than live long , so i aint celebrating my b'day, i would be a hypocrite that way

somebody told me

I Should Play the Guitar

You're very independent - both in spirit and in the way you learn. You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed. You're not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson - or do things by the book. It's more your style to master the fundamentals and see where they take you. Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play. You could emerge as a sensitive songwriter... or a manic rock star. Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity

What Musical Instrument Should You Play?

lay with me, lie to me

Here in the silence of the night
lying awake in a chemical haze,
now i aint so sure
if i have the will to fight
and strugle anymore.
Not so high
but low in a daze,
its so hard to break a habit.
I just dont know how to take an exit.
I am stupid enough to be a clever fool,
tresspassing into your private spaces
like i ever did have a place
in your big and full little heart.
Mistaken and ridden right (and wrongly) from the start,
i am broken and now losing my heat and cool.
no it aint no anger but just hunger
coz you only left me to wonder
What type of your welcome was that so much my fascination??
Wast that seemingly full invitation just a fragment of my imagination!
Now that the prescriptions just aint performing its functions
i am stuck in the middle of this muddled junction
Should I go to the Doctor
or in the arms of Another....
