I can't play the blues baby

'cause you're so good to me

Listen when I tell you people

I can not play the blues

'cause she's so good to me

She makes me so happy

As a cracker ass cracker can be

I can't play the blues woman

Because I ain't never ever felt no pain

I can't play the blues child

'cause I ain't never ever felt no pain

Got nothing to loose[sic]

But everything to gain

Won't you do me wrong one time

So I can learn how to play

Please do me wrong one time child

So I can learn how to play

On second thought maybe not

Maybe I'll just cut off one of my toes

And call it a day

I can't play the blues people

'cause you're so good to me

I can't play the blues woman

'cause you're so good to me

You make me as happy

As a cracker ass cracker can be

Aloha,

Brad

This old Sonic Youth song popped into my head the other day. It's been years since I've heard it. I still haven't gotten to root around in the basement for my Washing Machine album, but I've been humming this little ditty all day.

Time takes its crazy toll

and how does your mirror grow

you better watch yourself when you jump into it

'cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul

I wonder how it came to be my friend

that someone just like you has come again

you'll never, never know how close you came

until you fall in love with the diamond rain

throw all his trash away

look out he's here to stay

your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it

and you'll never never be the same

look into his eyes and you can see

why all the little kids are dressed in dreams

I wonder how he's gonna make it back

when he sees that you just know it's make-belief

blood crystalized as sand

and now I hope you'll understand

you reflected into his looking glass soul

and now the mirror is your only friend

look into his eyes and you will see

that men are not alone on the diamond sea

sail into the heart of the lonely storm

and tell her that you'll love her eternally

time takes its crazy toll

mirror fallin' off the wall

you better look out for the looking glass girl

'cause she's gonna take you for a fall

look into his eyes and you shall see

why everything is quiet and nothing's free

I wonder how he's gonna make her smile

when love is running wild on the diamond sea

The sun shines and people forget

The spray flies as the speedboat glides, and people forget

Forget they're hiding

The girls smile and people forget

The snow packs as the skier tracks, and people forget

Forget they're hiding

Behind an eminence front

Eminence front, it's a put on

Come and join the party, dress to kill

Won't you come and join the party, dress to kill

The drinks flow, people forget

The big wheel spins, the hair thins, people forget

The news slows, people forget

The shares crash, hopes are dashed, people forget

Forget they're hiding

Behind an eminence front

Eminence front, it's a put on

Come and join the party, dress to kill

Won't you come and join the party, dress to

Won't you come and join the party, dress to

Won't you come and join the party, dress to

Won't you come and join the party, dress to

Dress yourself, dress to kill

(Oh yeah, come on)

I met you at JC Penny

I think your nametag said Jenny

I could step to you

With a fresh pack of gum

If somehow I knew you were looking for some

(oh no!)

Like a fruit that's ripe for the picking'

I wouldn't do you like that

Sanka chicken

'Cause only you got a thing

That I just got to get with

I just got to get

Get with you

And you know what we're gonna do

I wanna get with you (Oh girl)

And your sister

I think her name is Debra

I wanna get with you (Only you girl)

And your sister

I think her name is Debra

Girl, I only wanna be down with you

'Cause you got something

That I just got to get with

I'll pick you up late at night after work

I said lady, Step inside my Hyundai

I'm gonna take up to Glendale

Yeah

I'm gonna take you for a feel good meal

'Cause when our eyes did meet

Girl, you know I was packing' heat

Ain't no use in wasting no time?

Getting to know each other

You know the deal

'Cause only you got a thing

That I just got to get with

Got to get with

I just got to get with you girl

I wanna get with you (Only you Girl)

And your sister

Let's get together and talk about the modern age.

All of our friends were gathered there with their pets

just talking shit about how we're all so upset about the disappearing ground.

As we watch it melt....

It's all of the good that won't come out of us

and how eventually our hands will just turn to dust,

if we keep shaking them.

Standing here on this frozen lake.

I do this thing where I think I'm real sick

but I won't go to the doctor to find out about it

Cause they make you stay real still in a real small space

As they chart up your insides and put them on display.

They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it.

All the good that won't come out of me

and all the stupid lies I hide behind.

It's such a big mistake

lying here in your warm embrace.

Oh, you're almost home.

I've been waiting for you to come in.

Dancing around in your old suits going crazy in your room again.

I think I'll go out and embarrass myself by getting drunk and falling down in

the street.

(You say I choose sadness

that it never once has chosen me.

Maybe you're right...)

Let's talk about all of our friends who lost the war

And all of the novels that have yet to be written about them.

It's all the good that won't come out of them

and all the stupid lies they hide behind.

It's such a big mistake

Standing here on this frozen lake.

It's all of the good that won't come out of me

And how eventually my mouth will just turn to dust

If I don't tell you quick.

Standing here on this frozen lake.

d_rawk, what song is that?

[d_rawk]

Rilo Kiley's "The Good That Won't Come Out" off The Execution of All Things (2002). Broke out some old mix CDs this afternoon, and that was on one. I also really like "Hail to Whatever You Found in the Sunlight that Surrounds You" off the same album, but the lyrics are kinda uninspiring on their own.

(Hail to those who have come from the sunlight that surrounds you

Pray for those who have gone from the sunlight that surrounds you

Hail to those who have come from the sunlight that surrounds you

Pray for those who have gone from the sunlight that surrounds you

Pretend all the good things are for you

Hail to those who have come from the sunlight that surrounds you

Hail to whatever you've found in the sunlight that surrounds you

Pretend all the good things are for you, pretend all the good things are for me

too

And the weather changes not halfway between your house and mine

Pretend all the good things are for you, pretend all the good things are for me

too

And the weather changes not halfway between your house and mine

And all of the good things are for me, and all of the good things are for you

too

And the weather changes not halfway between your house and mine)

[AD]

Thanks, just 'found' that tune and it is great, you're right.

[d_rawk]

Hey, AD - are you already a Mirah convert? If not, I think you'd really like her. I'd suggest 'finding' Advisory Committee (2001) as the place to jump in. Sort of "His Name is Alive"-ish, but with less mental illness, if that makes sense.

[AD]

Ah sweet, thanks for the recommendation. I will try to find this and check it out.

A Heart Needs a Home (Richard Thompson)

I know the way that I feel about you

I'm never gonna run away

I'm never gonna run away

I never knew the way when I lived without you

I'm never gonna run away

I'm never gonna run away

I came to you when no one could hear me

I'm sick and weary of being alone

Empty streets and hungry faces

The world's no place when you're on your own

A heart needs a home

Some people say that I should forget you

I'm never gonna be a fool

I'm never gonna be a fool

A better life, they say, if I'd never met you

I'm never gonna be a fool

I'm never gonna be a fool

Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers

Indian givers, hearts of stone

Paper ships and painted faces

The world's no place when you're on your own

A heart needs a home

friends of mine

this time

this war

you dont belong here

[Booche]

Tonight it’s very clear

As we’re both lying here

There’s so many things I want to say

I will always love you

I would never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget

Say things I might regret

It breaks my heart to see you crying

I don’t wanna lose you

I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor

I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of

We’ll live forever

Knowing together that we

Did it all for the glory of love

You’ll keep me standing tall

You’ll help me through it all

I’m always strong when you’re beside me

I have always needed you

I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor

I’ll be the hero you’ve been dreaming of

We’ll live forever

Knowing together that we

Did it all for the glory of love

Just like a knight in shining armor

From a long time ago

Just in time I will save the day

Take you to my castle far away

I am a man who will fight for your honor

I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of

We’re gonna live forever

Knowing together that we

Did it all for the glory of love

We’ll live forever

Knowing together that we

Did it all for the glory of love

We did it all for love

We did it all for love

We did it all for love

We did it all for love

Hey Ryan Adams wrote a song for Garcia..... did I mention "Cold Roses" is a masterpiece yet? wow.

Rosebud

by Ryan Adams

When I pick up my guitar

This is the song that always comes

Don't know what I'm singing 'bout and

Don't know what for

I think about you

And I think about Rosebud

Wish there was a song to sing

To bring you back

But you can't get here from nowhere I guess

Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio

Behind a wall of glass

Telling me to take care of myself

And my friends

You sing to a field of trees

And roses singing those melodies

Simple and easy where everything moves

Underneath you

And Rosebud too

I wish there was a song to sing

To get you back

But you can't get here from nowhere I guess

Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio

Behind a wall of glass

Telling me to take it easy

But I took a photograph

And she's just a wooden machine

But you and Rosebud, you're still singing to me

[guigsy]

Now I'm not saying only bad news comes

For the people who want it

But you gotta play that music for who's listening

You got to have someone you wanna sing it to

Oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing

Hear all them bells ringing out in the street

Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe

Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street

Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe

'Cause if I don't believe in love

Then I don't believe in you

And I do

or, how bout...

These things inside me they repeat like broken records

Spinning pretty somethings behind my eyes

And when I can´t look at you

I can paint you picture perfectly in my mind

And when I get old

I´m gonna miss you all the time

fuck, can someone come over and take this disc away from me? wait... no... gimme another week or so...

ps: the line i bolded, i think sums up the entire album quite nicely.

Grandpa pissed his pants again

He don't give a damn

Brother Billy has both guns drawn

He ain't been right since Vietnam

"Sweet home Alabama"

Play that dead band's song

Turn those speakers up full blast

Play it all night long

Daddy's doing Sister Sally

Grandma's dying of cancer now

The cattle all have brucellosis

We'll get through somehow

"Sweet home Alabama"

Play that dead band's song

Turn those speakers up full blast

Play it all night long

I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn

See if I can drink enough

There ain't much to country living

Sweat, piss, jizz and blood

"Sweet home Alabama"

Play that dead band's song

Turn those speakers up full blast

Play it all night long

Aloha,

Brad

[bradm]

I bought a .44 Magnum with a solid steel cast

And in the blessed name of Elvis, I just let it blast

Till my TV lay in pieces there at my feet

And they busted me for disturbin' the allmighty peace

The judge said, "What you got in your defence, son?"

"57 channels and nothing on

"57 channels and nothing on..."

Aloha,

Brad

God that was strange to see you again

Introduced by a friend of a friend

Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"

In that instant it started to pour

Captured a taxi despite all the rain

We drove in silence across Pont Champlain

And all of that time you thought I was sad

I was trying to remember your name

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin

You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in

And now you're outside me you see all the beauty

Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose

I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose

I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news

From the house down the road, from real love

Live through this and you won't look back

Live through this and you won't look back

Live through this and you won't look back

There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave

You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave

I'm not sorry I met you

I'm not sorry it's over

I'm not sorry there's nothing to say

I'm not sorry there's nothing to say

[Del]

If I am lost for a day try to find me

But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me

All of the things that I thought were so easy

Just got harder and harder each day

December is darkest and June there's the light

But this empty bedroom won't make anything right

While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home

Who waits up for me all through the night

Calendar girl who's in love with the world

Stay alive

Calendar Girl whos in love with the world

Stay alive

I dreamed I was dying as I so often do

And when I awoke I was sure it was true

I ran to the window threw my head to the sky

And said whoever is up there, please don't let me die

But I can't live forever, I can't always breathe

One day I'll be sand on a beach by the sea

The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross

And I'll laugh about all that we've lost

Calendar Girl who is lost to the world

Stay Alive

Calendar Girl who is lost to the world

Stay Alive

January, February, March, April, May I'm alive

June, July, August, September, October I'm alive

November, December, yeah all through the winter, I'm alive

I'm alive

This is Beetle

he's as bad as can

and he knows he's the best

this is Beetle he's as bad as can

he knows he's the best.

He's big and he's strong

and he knows that he's badder

and he knows what he gets

he knows what he knows

and he knows what he have

and he knows what he is

he gets better

and he's a tough guy

and he knows

he knows the best

[Esau]

The water is wide and I can't cross over

Neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I.

There is a ship and it sails on the sea

Loaded deep as deep can be

But not as deep as the love I'm in

I know not if I sink or swim.

I leaned my back up against an oak

Thinkin' it was a trusty tree

But first it bent and then it broke

Just like my own false love to me.

Oh love is gentle, love is kind

Gay as a jewel when first it's new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like some morning dew.

The water is wide and I can't cross over

Neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I.

:cool:
