The Conductor

19-12-2009

I never really understood the importance of the conductor. Between you and me, what the hell is this guy doing? Do you really need somebody waving a stick in your face to play the violin? Does that really help you out? I can see how we need him at the beginning, okay? Tap, tap, tap. Start! Okay. I could see how you need that. But once we're going, okay. Once it's all happening... what do we need him for then? I don't see the cellist looking up, "I'm confused. I don't know what to do." And the conductor goes, "Do this. Like this..." (impersonating a conductor) "Oh, ok, thank you. Thank you very much."

Guidance For Teenagers

18-12-2009

"Another possible source of guidance for teenagers is television, but television's message has always been that the need for truth, wisdom and world peace pales by comparison with the need for a toothpaste that offers whiter teeth *and* fresher breath."

Through My Words

16-12-2009

All your eyes have ever seen
All you`ve ever heard
Is etched upon my memory
Is spoken through my words

All that I take with me
Is all you`ve left behind
We`re sharing one eternity
Living in two minds
Linked by an endless thread
Impossible to break

Just Plain Scared

15-12-2009

I have this idea about why people do the terrible things they do. Same reason why kids push each other on the school yard. If you're the one doing the pushing then you're not going to be the one to be pushed. If you're the monster then nothing will be waiting in the shadows to jump at you. It's pretty simple, really. People do the terrible things they do, because they're scared.

Mr. Time

13-12-2009

Stealing a moment from Mr. Time
He rocks in his chair like a shiny dime
But it's all for show, all for show.
Wearing your name and a number or two
When the minute's up so are you
But everybody knows, everybody knows.

Watching the hour from the light in his eyes,
He waits for your soul to come in from sky
But it's lost below, lost below.
Turning the wheel of your destiny round,
When the motion stops - no more sounds,
Does anybody care, anybody care.

Where's the man, where's the child
Wrapped together side by side.
Who can tell you what to do,
When Mr. Time has come for you.
See the truth, hear the lies,
Can there be no compromise
And who can tell you what they knew,
When Mr. Time has come for you.

Is it a feeling or deja vu?
When he points his finger calling you
Is it illusion? Just an illusion
Picking up seconds that fall to his feet
He blows them away as rocks on his seat,
Cool as his smile, his smile.

Where's the man, where's the child
Wrapped together side by side.
Who can tell you what to do,
When Mr. Time has come for you.
See the truth, hear the lies,
Can there be no compromise
And who can tell you what they knew,
When Mr. Time has come for you.

The Gym

12-12-2009

See, to me, at the health club, you see all these people that are working out and they're training, getting in shape but strangely, nobody's really getting in shape for anything. The only reason that you're getting in shape is that so you can get through the workout.So we're working out so that we'll be in shape for when we have to do our exercise.This is the whole thing. The other thing I don't get is why we're so careful about locking up our dirty towels and smelly jockstraps. What exactly is the black market on these disgusting gym clothes? I'll give my car to any guy in front of a restaurant because he's got a short red jacket. "Yeah, he must be the valet guy." But my stinking putrefied gym clothes I got one of these locks you could put a bullet through it and it won't open. That Stuff is safe.

Next Year

10-12-2009

I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
I'll be coming home next year
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high
If I come down
I'll be coming home next year
I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around and round
I'll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
If I come down
I'll be coming home next year
Say good-bye now
Say good-bye now
Say good-bye now
Say good-bye now
I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here

The Big Things

09-12-2009

The world is made of the big things that happen and the small ones. And the part that is so unfair is that when we call them big and small. Because when something happens to you, you loose something or someone you really care about, that's all there is. The world may be blowing up all around you, but you don't care. You don't care about that at all.

I'm never going back never going back to you

I'm never going to dig out your picture
I'm never going to look you up someday
Life is very short
You don't love me anymore
So I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to write you a letter
Never going to call you on the phone
I'm never going to drive by your house
I'm never going to catch you coming outside
Never going to walk up your walk
And ring your bell
And feel you fall into my arms
I'm never going to see you
I'm never going to see you again
Your gone for good

Never Look Down

06-12-2009

You know cartoons? They run up a cliff and they're fine. They don't fall until they look down. My mom always said that that was the secret of life: Never look down. It's about not ever realizing that you're in the middle of the air and you know not how to fly.

Numb

04-12-2009

I'm never so lost, I can't find my way
Been searching, but I have never seen
A turning, a turning from deceit

'Cause the child rose as life
Tried to reveal what I could feel

I can't understand myself anymore
'Cause I'm still feeling lonely
Feelin' so unholy

'Cause the child rose as life
Tried to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone, ohh no

I'm fooling somebody
A faithless path I roam
Deceiving, to breathe this secretly
A silence, this silence I can't bear

'Cause the child rose as life
Tries to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone, ohh no
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone

A lady of one ...

Anyway this one game we came back to win from like 8 runs behind. So Kramer says to Richie why don't you dump the bucket of Gatorade on Marty Benson's head? The club owner. So Richie goes ahead and does it.

This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories

Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Black holes and revelations

Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Lighter than an eiderdown

Waiting for the velvet bride
Will the scaly armadillo
Find me where I'm hiding

Will the misty master break me
Will the key unlock my mind
Will the following footsteps catch me
Am I really dying

If I Die Tomorrow

25-11-2009

I wake up to find myself
After all these years
And where all the time has gone
Still seems so unclear
'Cause there's no one else
Since I found you
I know it's been so hard
You should know

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
You're my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

It brings out the worst in me
When you're not around
I miss the sound of your voice
The silence seems so loud
'Cause there's no one else
Since I found you
I know it's been so hard
You should know

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
You're my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

I spent all my life
Looking for our innocence
I've got nothing to lose
One thing to prove
I won't make the same mistakes
Now I know
That everything will be ok
When I die tomorrow

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
You're my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

Choices

24-11-2009

"My mom told me once that when you're afraid of something, what you want more than anything else is to make it go away. You want your life back to the way it was before you found out there was something to be afraid of. You want to build a high wall and live your old life behind it. But nothing ever stays the same. That's not your old life at all. That's your new life with a wall around it. Your choice is not about going back the things were. Your choice is about hiding, or about going right to the heart of the thing that scares you."

Renaissance Affair

Sweet relief calms me down
Makes me drown, lost and found
Neighbors complain, sheets are stained
Hotel shower, the best around
Spacing from paris to new york
Silver sunglasses, silver phone
Connect us to someone who doesn't know
About these feelings we can't control

People they want us to fall down
But we won't ever touch the ground
We're perfectly balanced, we'll float around
'til no one is near, do you hear this sound
Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses, silver phone
Connect us to someone who doesn't know
About these feelings we can't control

This strange feeling captures us
It generates this huge fuzz
I miss you all the time I must face
I miss your touch and your embrace

Redundam em silêncio
Nada me diz

Berras às bestas
Que re sufocam
Em braços viscosos
Cheios de pavor
Esse frio surdo
O frio que te envolve
Nasce na fonte
Na fonte da dor

Remar remar
Força a corrente
Aao mar, ao mar

I have a friend who's got a baby. "Gotta see the baby. You've got to come over and see the baby."
Nobody ever wants you to come and see their grandfather, do they? "You've got to see my grandfather. You've got to see him. He's so cute. 168 pounds, 4 ounces. I love them when they're this age. He's 1000 months. You know, the mid eighties is such a good time for the grand-people. The mid-eighties, you got to see them. He went to the bathroom by himself today".
You know what's tough about seeing people when they have a baby is that you have to mach their level of enthusiasm. You know what I mean? They're always so excited. "What do you think of him?" Just once I would like to meet a couple that goes: "You know, we're not that happy with him, frankly. I think we really made a big mistake. We should have got an aquarium... You want him? We don't even want him. You want him?"

This Is The Sea

13-11-2009


These things you keep
you better throw them away
you want to turn your back
on your souless days
once you were tethered
now you are free
once you were tethered
now you are free
that was the river
this is the sea

now if you are feeling weary
if you've been alone too long
or maybe you been suffering from
a few too many plans that have gone wrong
and you're tryin' to remember
how fine your life used to be
running around banging your drum
like it's ninteeen seventy three
well that was the river
this is the sea

now you say you got trouble
you say you got pain
you say you got nothin' left to believe in
nothin' to hold on to
nothin' to trust
nothin' but chains
you've been scouring your conscience
raking through your memory
scouring your conscience
raking through your memory
that was the river
this is the sea

now i can see you're waverin'
as you try to decide
you've got a war in your head
and it's tearing you up inside
you're tryin' to make sense
of something that you just don't see
tryin' to make sense now
and you know that you once held the key
but that was the river
and this is the sea

now here is a train
it's comin' on down the line
you realise if you hurry
you got still enough time
and you don't need no tiket
and you dont pay no fee
and you don't need no ticket
and you dont pay no fee
because that was the river
and this is the sea
that was the river
this is the sea
that was the river
this is the sea

and this is the sea

How good can it be for your confidence that every paycheck you get has the word unemployment on it? You can't get it out of your mind! You just got the job! They're already getting ready for you to be laid off.
I have a friend who's unemployed. He's collecting unemployment insurance. This guy has never worked this hard in his life to keep this thing going. He's down there every week waiting on the lines and getting interviewed and making all these lies about looking for jobs. If they had any idea the effort and energy that he's expending to avoid work, I'm sure they'd give him a raise. I'm sure of it.The guy's doing a tremendous job... not working."

No More Beating As One

09-11-2009

She was no longer precious to me
I guess my hate grew much stronger than my love for her ever did
(I was) so tired of chasing that person who made me feel loved
and as we were embracing I cut and spilt the dearest blood

I'm praying for her soul as this blood on my hands stains me whole

You were my life, from you I fed of
And now parted by knife - the suicide of our love
So callous and frigid was that stillborn soul
yet no other half could ever make me whole

You promised: "'til death do us part", and then you made a stone of my heart
And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame

Gone are the times when I felt alive
Gone are those nights with you by my side
And now here I stand as the shadows grow deep
With the death on my hand at your grave I weep

We were one yet not the same
Once passion abundant, now pain

And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame

Love laved with stillness like the grave in my heart
and all the reasons huddled in your seeping blood

And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame
And with the last rays of the setting sun she bled her love away
No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame

And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

It's getting hotter, it's a burning love

And I just can't seem to get enough

Eu luto sempre do outro lado da luta

A polícia já tem o meu nome
Minha foto está no ficheiro
Porque eu não me rendo

E como eu sou e quero ser sempre assim
Um rio que corre sem princípio nem fim
O poder podre dos homens normais
Está a tentar dar cabo de mim

It has success and failure, moments when you come together and moments where you stand alone. And it has an ending. Not a clock, like other sports, but an ending. And that, my grandfather said to my mom, is as close as a kid should have to come to that sort of thing."

All Mine

29-10-2009

All the stars may shine bright
All the clouds may be white
But when you smile
Ohh how I feel so good
That I can hardly wait

To hold you
Enfold you
Never enough
Render your heart to me

All mine.......
You have to be

From that cloud, number nine
Danger starts the sharp incline
And such sad regrets
Ohh as those starry skies
As they swiftly fall

Make no mistake
You shan't escape
Tethered and tied
There's nowhere to hide from me

All mine....
You have to be

Don't resist
We shall exist
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

All mine.......
You have to be
