The death of a disco dancer
Well it happens a lot 'round here...

"Death of a Disco Dancer" by The Smiths

Just yesterday morning
They let me know you were gone

Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Hallelujah ~ Jeff Buckley

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and IÂm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose

"Loser" by Beck

Then again... most Beck lyrics are pretty great, even if the early ones like this feel totally random.

Occured to me the other day
You've been gone now a couple years
Well, I guess it takes while
For someone to really disappear

Goodbye ~ Patty Griffin

I am gross and preverted, I'm obsessed and deranged,
I have existed for years but very little has changed.
I'm the tool of the government, and industry too
for I am destined to rule, and regulate you.

I went back in an added them to mine, though I figured most of you all knew those already.

Well, how will you keep yourself amused then?

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith ...

Frank Zappa

I couldn't say where she's coming' from,
But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm

She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
I got a forty dollar bill say you can't make me cum

I was actually thinking about Supper's Ready lyrics when I read your entry

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes.
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.
...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby don't you know our love is true.

Opening to an incredible 23-minute masterpiece

And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line

Springsteen - Born to Run

Well, I was walking down the High Road
And this guy stops me
He'd just got in from New Zealand
And he was looking for mushy peas
I said, no, we hadn't really got 'em round here
I said, but we do got

Balti, Bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dall, Halal and I'm walking down the road
We got rocksoul, okra, bombay duck-ra
Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without - with it or without
Bagels soft or simply harder
Exotic avocado or toxic empenada
We got akee, lassi, Somali waccy baccy
I'm sure back home you know what tikka's all about - what tikka's all about

I know I have posted this about a million times before but it tickles me every time.

You can never give
The finger to the blind
Sometimes I act so stupid
But you never seem to mind

That's no way to be
Laughing at the deaf
I know that I repeat myself
When I got nothing left

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me.
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm...

"Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me" by The Smiths

Posted: Dec 20, 2007 - 9:58am

Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch,
There's something inside, that we need so much.
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
Or the strength of an oak, with roots, deep in the ground.
The wonder of flowers, to be covered,
And then to burst up, through tarmac, to the sun again,
Or to fly to the sun, without burning a wing,
To lie in a meadow, and hear the grass sing.
To have all these things in our memories hoard,
And to use them, to help us, to find the lost chord...

(Opening to the Moody Blues' In Search of the Lost Chord)

It's been a hard day's night.
