>> Nine Inch Nails - Head Like a Hole
God money i'll do anything for you. God money just tell me what you want me to. God money nail me up against the wall. God money don't want everything he wants it all.
[Bridge:] No you can't take it No you can't take it No you can't take that away from me No you can't take it No you can't take it No you can't take that away from me
Head like a hole. Black as your soul. I'd rather die than give you control. Head like a hole. Black as your soul. I'd rather die than give you control.
[Chorus:] Bow down before the one you serve. You're going to get what you deserve. Bow down before the one you serve. You're going to get what you deserve.
God money's not looking for the cure. God money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure. God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised. God money's not one to choose
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
You know who you are.

The Luckiest ~ Ben Folds
I don't get many things right the first time In fact, I am told that a lot Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls Brought me here And where was I before the day That I first saw your lovely face? Now I see it everyday And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest What if I'd been born fifty years before you In a house on a street where you lived? Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike Would I know? And in a wide sea of eyes I see one pair that I recognize And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties And one day passed away in his sleep And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days And passed away I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong That I know That I am I am I am The luckiest

AWESOME SONG! RO!! ___________________
Nin - Down In It
now i'm down in it now i'm down in it
kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was never coming down just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see but i watched it way too long it was pulling me down
i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it
shut up so what what does it matter now i was swimming in the haze now i crawl on the ground and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out ("i guess the jokes on me," she said)
i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it
i used to be so big and strong i used to know my right from wrong i used to never be afraid i used to be somebody i used to have something inside now just this hole that's open wide i used to want it all i used to be somebody
i'll cross my heart i'll hope to die but the needle's already in my eye and all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why what i used to think was me is just a fading memory i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye"
i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it (now i'm down in it) i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it
i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it i was up above it
rain rain go away come again some other day rain rain go away come again some other day rain rain go away come again some other day rain rain go away come again some other day
i was up above it i was up above it now i'm down in it
i was up above it
now i'm down in it

You Turn The Screws ~ Cake you turn the screws you tear down the bridge flimsy as it is, it's business like you shake my hand you break up the band flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock red white and blue you twist the knife then go home to kiss your wife a bigger better slice is what you'd like you kick the sand, you get the upper hand you sell it to japan it's natural punk rock red white and blue you turn the screws it's what you choose to do you think that i must turn them too you think that i must be so satisfied i stay inside i wonder why and the cement-mixer gets it all ready one good turn at a time they're pouring it slowly and steady you're showing me where i can sign what i can expect to find but how can you say you'll be happy when you turn the screws you turn the screws it's what you choose to do you turn the screws it's what you choose to do you think i must turn them, too you turn the screws you tear down the bridge flimsy as it is, it's business like flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock red white and blue you turn the screws

Right now, I'm listening to the annoying guy who retired like 20 years ago yet comes to "visit" at the worst possible times to schmooze and walk away with as many free samples as he can wrangle out of people. But I have in my head the Kiss song I was listening to as I walked to the office this morning, Forever: I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself, but it's true There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you I lived so long believin' all love is blind But everything about you is tellin' me this time It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever I hear the echo of a promise I made When you're strong you can stand on your own But those words grow distant as I look at your face No, I don't wanna go it alone I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line But everything about you is tellin' me this time It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever Ya-ah! I see my future when I look in your eyes It took your love to make my heart come alive 'Cause I lived my life believin' all love is blind But everything about you is tellin' me this time It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

Hey, jules...I thought they just hung out at the library... Barenaked Ladies Angry People That's the problem, dear, with angry people They try to go it alone Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas That other angries disown Angry people think a good solution Is getting others involved So they surround themselves with happy people And watch their smiles dissolve We just drag them down We just drag them down We just drag them down Until they're just like us Angry people get so sanctimonious Telling us what to do Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause We are all phonies too And those of us who once had wives and families Understand what I mean What was once a calm and peaceful refuge Is overtaken by spleen 'Cause we just drag them down We just drag them down We just drag them down Until they're just like us I am the singer in the band We're only trying to lend a hand And though it's not what we had planned We understand That we just drag you down We just drag you down We just drag you down Until you're just like us In a square a thousand angry people Are waving signs in the air (HEY!) While a million other happy people Are trying hard not to care (BACK OFF!) You see, the happy people's biggest problem Is they're never fearing the worst While the rest of us will never sleep until Your happy bubbles are burst Yeah, we just drag them down Didn't I just drag you down Just watch me drag you down Until you're just like us Until you're just like us Oh, until you're just like us Until you're just like us

Right now I am listening to the banging and nailing of the construction on the condo block behind mine....I'm taking a mental health day from work cause I need to catch up on so much paperwork....so of course I'm staring out the window at the roofers, instead of working. Here's what on.. Blue Rodeo- Where I was Before Can’t get used to what you told me You said better brace yourself There's changes coming in I wake up to a brand-new story Stop the clock that's ticking on the shelf Then let it all begin Now I know that I'm right here where I was before Chasing all my ghosts around ... Maybe I worry what I will say Now I'm only 3 hours away ... Living in between the pages Watching the strangers come and go Just life that’s passing by It all keeps coming down in stages Only hurts the ones you know No matter what you try Now I know that I'm right here where I was before Chasing songs from town to town Maybe I worry what I will say Now I'm only 3 hours away Some things aren't meant to last Like a day that burns up fast Turn away and then it's gone ... Sun comes up the red sky morning I pray that the trouble all has passed Just something that I dreamed I must have missed all of your warnings I guess we played too fast Much closer than it seemed Now I know that I'm right here where I was before Making all my plans alone Maybe I worry what I will say Now I'm only 3 hours away...

Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun When I'm a walking, I strut my stuff, then I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out
Let me go on, like a blister in the sun Let me go on, big hands I know you're the one
Body and beats, I stain my sheets, I don't even know why My girl friend, she's at the end, she is starting to cry
Let me go on, like a blister in the sun Let me go on, big hands I know you're the one
Whisper: When I'm a walking, I strut my stuff, then I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out When I'm a walking, I strut my stuff, then I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out Body and beats, I stain my sheets, I don't even know why My girl friend, she's at the end, she is starting to cry When I'm a walking, I strut my stuff, then I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out
Loud: Let me go on, like a blister in the sun Let me go on, big hands I know you're the one

billy joel - just the way you are
Don't go changing, to try and please me, You never let me down before, Don't imagine, you're too familiar, And I don't see you anymore.
I would not leave you, in times of trouble, We never could have come this far, I took the good times, I'll take the bad times, I'll take you just the way you are.
Don't go trying, some new fashion, Don't change the colour of your hair, You always have my, unspoken passion, Although I might not seem to care.
I don't want clever, conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone, that I can talk to, I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew, What will it take till you believe in me, The way that I believe in you?
I said I love you, and that's forever, And this I promise from the heart, I couldn't love you, any better, I love you just the way you are.
I don't want clever, conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone, that I can talk to, I want you just the way you are.
