Eager Ears

20-07-2007

The Wise Man said to me

"Eager ears deserve all answers"

I Don't Wanna Be Like You

19-07-2007

Heaven knows
Heaven knows I tried
To be like you
To be a part of you tribe
I'd rather leave it all behind
But that's alright
I'm not your average type
No Mr. Clean - hey I wanna be me

Can't you see - I'm the exception to the rule
I know what I want
And I know I'm gonna get it
That is why - I'm the exception to the rule
Don't push me too far
The way I am is just because

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
I still don't wanna be like you

I'm hog-tied'n'dirty
I'm tough and mean
Keep your Wall Street slickers
And the American dream
You ('ve) done me over and over
You ('ve) tried to tie me down
Why don't you step out of the shadows
Dare to roll the dice
Let it roll - and don't you push me around

Can't you see - I'm the exception to the rule
I know what I want
And I know I'm gonna get it
That is why - I'm the exception to the rule
Don't push me too far
The way I am is just because

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you - never ever !
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
But I still don't wanna be like you

The ordinary way of life ain't for me
I do what I want and I wanna be free
Never know, where I go or what I'm gonna do
Why can't you see - the only thing I know is that

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
If the oceans turn to desert
Hell can turn to ice
But I still don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you - no way !
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
But I still don't wanna be like - you !

Further On Up The Road

16-07-2007

Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed*
Where the gun is cocked and the bullet's cold
Where the miles are marked in blood and gold
I'll meet you further on up the road

Got on my dead man's suit and my smilin' skull ring**
My lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing**
I got a song to sing to keep me out of the cold
And I'll meet you further on up the road

Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road

Now I been out in the desert just doin' my time
Searching through the dust lookin' for a sign
If there's a light up ahead, well brother I don't know
But I got this fever burnin' in my soul
So let's take the good times as they go
And I'll meet you further on up the road

Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road

KRAMER: Look, Jerry, I'm sorry, I'm uh, you have insurance,

JERRY: No.

KRAMER: [looks shocked] How can you not have insurance?

JERRY: Because...I spent my money on the Clapgo D. 29, it's
the most impenetrable lock on the market today...it has only
one design flaw: the door...[shuts the door] must be CLOSED.

Kramer: Jerry! I'm gonna find your stuff. I'm gonna solve it,
I'm on the case, buddy, I'm on the case!

JERRY: Yeah, don't investigate, don't pay me back, it was an

I Never Cry

13-07-2007

If there's a tear on my face
It makes me shiver to the bones it shakes me babe
It's just a heartache that got cought in my eye
and you know I never cry I never cry

Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the T.V.'s dead and gone
I may be lonely but I'm never alone
and the night may pass me by
but I'll never cry

Take away take away my eyes
Sometimes I'd rather be blind
Break a heart break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone

'Cause that's all I've got give to you
believe me babe it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin it ain't never been tried
and you know I'll never cry
and you know I'll never cry
and you know you know you know you know
I'll never cry, I'll never cry

Break a heart break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone

'Cause that's all I've got give to you
believe me babe it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin it ain't never been tried
and you know I'll never cry
and you know I'll never cry
and you know you know you know you know
I'll never cry, I'll never cry

Why Don't We Do It In The Tub?

12-07-2007

ELAINE: [Jerry opens the door] OK, so, now, is there anything
else I need to know 'bout this place?

JERRY: uh, yeah, the uuhh, hot water takes a little while to
come on. So, the best thing to do is to turn it on, do all
your shopping, you...come back and take a shower.

ELAINE: OK, this is quite a place.

JERRY: There's more, the refrigerator. [Opens it] Deduct a
minimum of two days of all expiration dates. [uses the
umbrella to point to certain compartments in the refrigerator]
No meat, no leftovers, no butter. [closes the refrigerator]
And I cannot overstate this: no soft cheeses of any kind. Is
that clear?

ELAINE: I'll eat out.

JERRY: One more thing, Bennes, regarding sexual activity:
strictly prohibited, but if you absolutely must, do us all a
big favour: do it in the tub.

Khe Kids

10-07-2007

You can see it comn' it happens everyday
Millions of people millions of faces
All lost in the fucking fray
But I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Why you people keep on dyin'?
Standing on the brink of insanity
Tell me who you wanna be
Hey the kids are losin' it
My mind you're abusin' it
They can believe what they wanna believe
Trapped in their misery
Hey it's waste of time
Hey I'm losing my mind
Count me out of your misery
I'm never givin' up cause I am free
Not gonna change just to fit your ways
Not gonna listen to the things you say
I've got my own reality
Not buying into your conformity
Not give me shit for trying
Why do people keep on dying
Standing on the brink of insanity
Tell me who you wanna be
I am free from the chains
That are holding you down
So your rules don't apply to me
Your rules don't apply to me
Trapped in your apathy
Comply now you can see
I won't fit into your conformity
We're gonna rise above

Patience

07-07-2007

(1..2...1,2,3,4)
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience...
Ooh, oh, yeah

Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it

...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need)

The Finger

"So I move into the centre lane, now I get ahead of this women, who felt for some reason I guess, that she thought that I cut her off. So, she pulls up along side of me, gives me...
the finger.
It seems like such an... arbitrary, ridiculous thing to just pick a finger and you show it to the person. [shows several fingers to the audience] It's a finger, what does it mean? Someone shows me one of their fingers and I'm supposed to feel bad. Is that the way it's supposed to work?
I mean, you could just give someone the toe, really, couldn't you? I would feel worse if I got the toe, than if I got the finger. 'Cause it's not easy to give someone the toe, you've
gotta get the shoe off, the sock of and drive, get it up and uh [pretends to drive with one foot in the air and speaks to person driving next to him] look at that toe, buddy. [puts his foot down]
I mean, that's really insulting to get the toe, isn't it ?"

I'm sorry about the sun,

but until then . . . better off dead,
a smile on the lips and a hole in the head,
better off dead, yeah better than this,
better off dead, yeah better than this,
take it away cuz there's nothing to miss
I'm sorry about the world,
how could I know you'd take it so bad?,
and I'll never make the same mistake,
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure you participate
But until then . . .
Better off dead, yeah better off dead,
why don't you try pushing daisies instead
and I'll never make the same mistake,
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate, just in case.

"Before one can help someone else, he must be sure that he's not the one who needs help"

The First Drop

01-07-2007

I'm calling out, only echoes respond
But I scream 'till my voice is gone
Crouching in corners and hiding your face
I'm sick and tired of playing your games

I'm not alone
I stand amongst the voiceless millions in the unforgiving sun
Here arm in arm we parade these streets
And sing our songs (and sing our songs)

(We've had enough)
Is there even anything left to explain?
(We've had enough)
Am i really someone you need to restrain?
(We've had enough)
Can't you listen to what we have to say?
(We've had enough)

Unknowing, we lie and wait for the rain
To wash away what they have made
Face down in the dirt with your foot on my back
In the distance I hear thundercrack

C'mon, stand up!
This system of power and privilege is about to come to an end
Here come the clouds
The first drop is falling down (falling down)

(We've had enough)
Is there even anything left to explain?
(We've had enough)
Am i really someone you need to restrain?
(We've had enough)
Can't you listen to what we have to say?
(We've had enough)

Our futures burn in red horizons
Ashes scattered in winds of change
Casualty numbers are rising
Now it's time to raise the stakes
We're meant for something more than
Living just to put food on our plates
I can't help but wonder "why should we participate?"

(Now we've had enough)
Is there even anything left to explain?
(We've had enough)
Am i really someone you need to restrain?
(We've had enough)
Can't you listen to what we have to say?
(We've had enough)

The Magic Trick

30-06-2007

Jerry: Y'know I think that even if you've had a relationship with someone,
or let's say, *especially* if you've had a relationship with someone
and you try to become friends afterwards, it's very difficult.
Isn't this? It's hard. Because, you know each other so well, you
know all of each others tricks. It's like two magicians, trying to
entertain each other.
The one goes, "Look, a rabbit."
The other goes, "So? ... I believe this is your card."
"Look, why don't we just saw each other in half and call it a night?
Okay?"

Renewal

28-06-2007

Imperfection, new temptation
Innocence will breed new life
Disillusion, desperation
Free my mind and let it rise
Mass enslavement, brutal torment
Tomorrow will they see it clear
Resurrection, disconnection
Substance that can make us fly without fear
Without fear

Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of your mind

Female's poison, male aggression
Distance to reality
Foreign places, fallen kingdoms
Always keep secrets from me
Subliminal, disciplinal
The art of lying lives on and on
As we struggle, as we suffer
Inferior to life renewal has begun

Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of our minds
Renewal of my mind

Isolation, illumination
Modern men embrace the light
War believers, peace deceivers
Remaining in eternal night
Politicians, fake musicians
Create no relationships
Hate frustrators, penetrators
Resistance from a path that should not exist

Never to be seen again
Ever to release the pain
Renewal of my mind
Of my mind

The Mask Of Life

25-06-2007

The smile in your face hits the dark light
Another day passes you by
Try to escape fro within to the outside
But something tells me to stay

I'll open my eyes and I'm losing it all
And again the pain slips away
There's nowhere to hide but it seems like
You ask yourself why do you fear the day?

You're in my dreams
I'll focus my attention
As I'm browning in cries
I'm close to the edge, there's so much fear deep inside

So far away, I fear your sorrow
We all go blind if there's no tomorrow
So far away, I call it hollow
The mask of life brings no tomorrow
So far away

I'll face the rage and escape from within
I'm crawling out the walls where you locked me in
Those acts of sin made me your slave
Trapped inside my world, where nothing is save

You hear me whisper when I try to speak
A waste of time cause you make me sick
With no redemption my soul will be burnt
You try to teach me what you've never learned

You'll escape from within
With all your thoughts you make it fade
The darkness is coming in
While I'm breaking up but for you it's too late

So far away, I fear your sorrow
We all go blind if there's no tomorrow
So far away, I call it hollow
The mask of life brings no tomorrow
So far away, I need to breath
The mask of life shows my believe

Repentance - Part IX: Restitution

20-06-2007

"If we are painstaking about this phase of our development
We will be amazed before we are half way through
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace
No matter how far down the scale we have gone
We will see how our experience can benefit others
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear
We will lose interest in selfish things
And gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations
Which used to baffle us
We will suddenly realize that
God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves"

You're only as sick as your secrets
But the truth will set you free
The truth is the truth
And all you can do is live with it

Repentance - Part VIII: Regret

19-06-2007

(Hello, mirror
So glad to see you my friend
It's been a while)

Staring at the empty page before me
All the years of wreckage running through my head
Patterns of my life I thought I don't be ?
Revealing hurt for shame and deep lament

Overwhelming sorrow now absorbs me
As the pen begins to trace my darkest past
Signs throughout my life that should have warned me
Of all the wrongs I've done for which I must repent

I once thought it better to regret
Things that I have done when haven't

Sometimes you've got to be wrong
Learn the hard way
Sometimes you've got to be strong
When you think it's too late

Staring at the finished page before me
All the damage now so clear and evident
Thinking 'bout the dreaded task in store for me
A bitter fear at the thought of my amends

Hoping that the step will help restore me
To face my past and ask for forgiveness
Cleaning up my dirty side of this unswept street
Could this be the beginning of the end

I once thought it better to regret
Things that I have done when haven't

Sometimes you've got to be wrong
Learn the hard way
Just when you're through hanging on
You're saved

I bet you there were other guys in history that tried to get relationships named after them, but it didn't work. Y'know, I bet you there were guys who tried to do it, just went:

Hey, it's a "Riconic" relationship...''

A Working Class Herp

16-06-2007

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
[Working Class Hero lyrics on [link]

A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

O Meu Lado Esquerdo

13-06-2007

O meu lado esquerdo
é mais forte do que o outro
é o lado da intuição
É o lado onde mora o coração

O meu lado esquerdo
Oriente do meu instinto
É o lado que me guia no escuro
É o lado com que eu choro e com que eu sinto

Meu é o meu foi o meu lado esquerdo
Que me levou até ti
Quando eu já pensava
Que não existias para mim no mundo

O meu lado esquerdo não sabe o que é a razão
É ele que me faz sonhar
É ele que tantas vezes diz não

Meu é o meu foi o meu lado esquerdo
Que me levou até ti
Quando eu já pensava
Que não existias para mim no mundo

O Resto Do Mundo

06-06-2007

Eu queria morar numa favela
Eu queria morar numa favela
Eu queria morar numa favela
O meu sonho é morar numa favela
Eu me chamo de excluido como alguém me chamou
Mas pode me chamar do que quiser seu dotô
Eu num tenho nome
Eu num tenho identidade
Eu num tenho nem certeza se eu sou gente de verdade
Eu num tenho nada
Mas gostaria de ter
Aproveita seu dotô e dá um trocado pra eu comer...
Eu gostaria de ter um pingo de orgulho
Mas isso é impossivel pra quem come o entulho
Misturado com os ratos e com as baratas
E com o papel higiênico usado
Nas latas de lixo
Eu vivo como um bicho ou pior que isso

Eu sou o resto
O resto do mundo
Eu sou mendigo um indigente um indigesto um vagabundo
Eu sou... Eu num sou ninguém

Eu tô com fome
Tenho que me alimentar
Eu posso num ter nome mas o estômago tá lá
Por isso eu tenho que ser cara-de-pau
Ou eu peço dinheiro ou fico aqui passando mal
Tenho que me rebaixar a esse ponto porque a necessidade é maior do que a moral
Eu sou sujo eu sou feio eu sou anti-social
Eu num posso aparecer na foto do cartão postal
Porque pro rico e pro turista eu sou poluição
Sei que sou um brasileiro
Mas eu não sou cidadão
Eu não tenho dignidade ou um teto pra morar
E o meu banheiro é a rua
E sem papel pra me limpar
Honra?
Não tenho
Eu já nasci sem ela
E o meu sonho é morar numa favela
Eu queria morar numa favela
Eu queria morar numa favela
Eu queria morar numa favela
O meu sonho é morar numa favela
A minha vida é um pesadelo e eu não consigo acordar
E eu não tenho perspectivas de sair do lugar
A minha sina é suportar viver abaixo do chão
E ser um resto solitário esquecido na multidão

Eu sou o resto
O resto do mundo
Eu sou mendigo um indigente um indigesto um vagabundo
Eu sou o resto do mundo
Eu num sou ninguém
Eu num sou nada
Eu num sou gente
Eu sou o resto do mundo
Eu sou mendigo um indigente um indigesto um vagabundo
Eu sou o resto
Eu num sou ninguém

Frustração
É o resumo do meu ser
Eu sou filho da miséria e o meu castigo é viver
Eu vejo gente nascendo com a vida ganha e eu não tenho uma chance
Deus! Me diga por quê?
Eu sei que a maioria do Brasil é pobre
Mas eu num chego a ser pobre eu sou podre!
Um fracassado
Mas não fui eu que fracassei
Porque eu num pude tentar
Então que culpa eu terei
Quando eu me revoltar quebrar queimar matar
Não tenho nada a perder
Meu dia vai chegar
Será que vai chagar?
Mas por enquanto

Eu sou o resto
O resto do mundo
Eu sou mendigo um indigente um indigesto um vagabundo
Eu sou o resto do mundo
Eu num sou ninguém
Eu num sou nada
Eu num sou gente
Eu sou o resto do mundo
Eu sou mendigo um indigente um indigesto um vagabundo
Eu sou o resto
Eu num sou ninguém

Eu num sou registrado
Eu num sou batizado
Eu num sou civilizado
Eu num sou filho do Senhor
Eu num sou computado
Eu num sou consultado
Eu num sou vacinado
Contribuinte eu num sou
Eu num sou comemorado
Eu num sou considerado
Eu num sou empregado
Eu num sou consumidor
Eu num sou amado
Eu num sou respeitado
Eu num sou perdoado
E também sou pecador
Eu num sou representado por ninguém
Eu num sou apresentado pra ninguém
Eu num sou convidado de ninguém
E eu num posso ser visitado por ninguém
Além da minha triste sobrevivência eu tento entender a razão da minha existência
Por quê que eu nasci?
Por quê tô aqui?
Um penetra no inferno sem lugar pra fugir
Vivo na solidão mas não tenho privacidade
E não conheço a sensação de ter um lar de verdade
Eu sei que eu não tenho ninguém pra dividir o barraco comigo
Mas eu queria morar numa favela amigo
Eu queria morar numa favela
Eu queria morar numa favela
Eu queria morar numa favela
O meu sonho é morar numa favela.

Difference

The Wise Man said to me:

Dating World

30-05-2007

"The dating world is not a fun world. It's a pressure world. It's a world of tension. It's a world of pain.

If a woman comes over to my house, I gotta get that bathroom ready becayse she needs things. Women need things. I don't know what they need. I know that I don't have it, I know that.
You know what they need? Women need cotton balls. This one... Always been one of the most amazing things to me. I have no cotton balls. We're all human beings, what is the story? I've never had one... I never bought one., I never needed one. I've never been in a situation where I thought to myself: "I could use a cotton ball right now.I could certainly get out of this mess"

Women need them. And they don't need one or two. They need thousands of them. They need bags. They're like peat moss bags. Have you ever seen these giant bags? They're huge and two days later, they're out. They're gone. The bag is empty Where are the cotton balls ladies? What are you doing with them? The only time I ever seen them is in the bottom of wastebaskets. There's two or three look like they've been though some horrible experience. Tortured, interrogated, I don't know what happened to them.

I once went out with a girl, she left a little bag of cotton balls at my house. I didn't know what to do. I put them on the floor like tumbleweeds. I thought that maybe the cockroaches would see it... figure, "this is a dead town. Let's move on"

The dating world is a world of pressure. Let's face it, a date is a job interview that lasts all night. The only difference between a date and job interview is that not many job interviews is there a chance that you'll end up naked at the end of it.

You know, "Bill, the boss thinks you're the man for the position.Why don't you strip down and meet the people you'll be working with."

Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me

29-05-2007

Little girl sleeping in dreams of peace,
Mommy's been gone a long time,
Daddy comes home and she still sleeps,
Waiting for the world's worst crime.
And he comes up the stairs like he always does,
And he never turns on the light,
And she's wide awake, scared to death,
She smells his lust and she smells his sweat
Curled in a ball she holds her breath
Praying to a God that she's never met

Don't let daddy kiss me,
Don't let daddy kiss me
Good night

Little girl lies by her daddy's side
And she listens to him breathe
She knows there's something awful wrong
That she's far too young to see
And she knows she can't tell anyone
She's so full of guilt and shame,
And if she tells she'll be all alone
They'd steal her daddy and they'd steal her home
And it's not so bad when daddy leaves her alone
Praying to her God with his heart of stone

Don't let daddy kiss me,
Don't let daddy kiss me
Good night

Why, tell me why, the worst crime in the world

And daddy lies by his daughter's side,
And he sleeps both deep and well
No nightmares come to him tonight,
Though his daughter lives in hell
For his seed is sown where it should not be
And the beast in his mind don't care
And the only sounds are the tears that fall

Little girl turns her face to the wall
She knows that no one hears her call,
But it seems like God hears nothing at all

Don't let daddy kiss me,
Don't let daddy kiss me,
Don't let daddy kiss me
Good night

Oh dear

Everywhere

26-05-2007

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're, you're never there
But when I sleep you're, you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

How Are Men Getting Women?

25-05-2007

"I swear: I have absolutely no idea what women are thinking. I don't get it, okay? I--I--I admit! I--I'm not getting the signals. I am not getting it.

Women, they're so subtle. They're little--everything they do is sssubtle! [announcing] Men are not subtle! [regular voice] We are obvious. Women know what men want. Men know what men want. What do we want? We want Women. That's it!

It's the only thing we know for sure! It really is! We want women. How do we get them? [deep voice] "Oh, we don't know about that, we don't know."

The next step after that, we have no idea. This is why you see men honking car horns, yelling from construction sites--these are the best ideas we've had so far!

The Car Horn Honk. Is that the beauty? Have you seen men doing this?

What is this? The man is in the car. The woman, walks by the front of the car. He honks the--[makes long car horn noises]. This man: is out of ideas. How does this--[makes horn noise a few times, then shrugs]--"I don't think she likes me."

The amazing thing is that we still get women, don't we? Men--I mean, men are with women. You see men with women.

"How are men getting women," many people wonder.

Let me tell you a little bit about our organization:

Wherever women are--we have a man working on the situation right now. Now, he may not be our best maaan.. Okay? We have a lot of areas to cover, but someone from our staff is on the scene.

That's why I think men get frustrated when we see women reading articles, like, "Where to Meet Men."! We're here--we are everywhere! We're honkin' our horns to serve you better."

Fazer-me ao mar, num dia negro
Vou embarcar, num barco grego
Falta-me o ar, falta-me emprego

Já estou farto de descobrir
Tantas portas por abrir
Mas não pode ser, é tudo feio, tão feio, feio

Laundry Day

"Laundry Day is the only Exciting Day in the Life of Clothes. It is. No, think about it. The washing machine is the nightclub of clothes. You, know, it's dark, there's bubbles happening, they're all kind of dancin' around in there. Shirt grabs the underwear, "Come on, babe, let's go." You come by, you open up the lid, they all [he freezes].

Socks are the most amazing article of clothing. They hate their lives; they're in the shoes with stinky feet, the boring drawers. The dryer is their only chance to escape an' they all know it. They do escape from the dryer--they plan it in the hamper, the night before. "Tomorrow. The Dryer. I'm goin'."

"You wait here."

The Dryer door swings open, the sock is waiting up against the side wall. [stands like a guy standing flat against a wall, looking left and right, cautious] He hopes you don't see him, an' he goes down the road! [hums a jaunty tune] They get buttons sewn on their face--join a puppet show.

So they're showin' me on television the detergent for getting out blood stains. Is this a violent image to anybody: blood stains? I mean, come on, you got a tee-shirt with blood stains all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem right now! You're gonna get the harpoon outta your chest first!"

Sempre Ausente

20-05-2007

diz-me que solidão é essa
que te põe a falar sozinho
diz-me que conversa
estás a ter contigo

diz-me que desprezo é esse
que não olhas p’ra quem quer que seja
ou pensas que não existe
ninguém que te veja

que viagem é essa
que te diriges em todos os sentidos
andas em busca dos sonhos perdidos

lá vai o maluco
lá vai o demente
lá vai ele a passar
assim te chama toda essa gente

mas tu estás sempre ausente e não te conseguem alcançar

diz-me que loucura é essa
que te veste de fantasia
diz-me que te liberta
de vida vazia

diz-me que distância é essa
que levas no teu olhar
que ânsia e que pressa
que queres alcançar

que viagem é essa
que te diriges em todos os sentidos
andas em busca dos sonhos perdidos

lá vai o maluco
lá vai o demente
lá vai ele a passar
assim te chama toda essa gente

mas tu estás sempre ausente e não te conseguem alcançar
mas eu estou sempre ausente e não me conseguem alcançar

JERRY - Yeah, but how could you be so sure?

GEORGE Because it's signals [snapping fingers fast] Jerry! It's signals! Don't you, ohhh! [stops snapping] All right. Did she even ask you what you were doing tomorrow night, if you were busy?

JERRY - No.

Listen. Your stuff has to be done by now. Why don't you just see if it's dry? Just--you know--

GEORGE - You're gonna over dry it.

JERRY - Ya--Ya can't over dry.

JERRY - Same reason you can't over wet. See, once something is wet, it's Wet. Same thing with Death. Like, once you die, you're dead. Right? Let's say you drop dead an' I shoot you. You're not gonna die again; you're already dead! Ya can't over die, ya can't over dry!
