Pale like a light bulb hanging on a wire.

Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire.

Picking out the highlights of the scenery.

Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me.

Had my hands in the river and my feet up there on the banks.

Looked up to the Lord above and said, “Hey man thanks!”

My memory is muddy. What’s this river that I’m in? New Orleans is sinking and I don’t want to swim.

Interesting and sophisticated.

Refusing to be celebrated.

It’s a monumental big screen kiss.

It’s so deep Its meaningless.

One day you’ll just up and quit.

And that will be it.

Just then the stripper stopped in a coughing fit, said, “Sorry I can’t go on with this…

Close, but that’s not why I’m so hard done by.

They don’t know how old I am.

They found armour in my belly.

From the 16th century.

Conquistador, I think.

Morning broke out the backside of a truckstop.

The end of a line real, a rainbow-likening luck stop.

Well you could say I became chronologically fucked up.

Put 10 bucks in, just to get the tank topped off.

Then I found a place that’s dark and it’s rotted.

It’s a cool sweet kind of place where the coppers won’t spot it.

I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it.

However, everyday I’m dumping the body.

It would be better for me if you don’t understand.

3 Pistols-Tragically Hip (Gord Downie)

Tom Thompson came padding past.

I’m pretty sure it was him.

He spoke so softly in accordance.

To the growing of the dim.

He said, ‘Bring on a brand new Renaissance.

Cause I think I’m ready.

I’ve been shaking all night long.

But my hands are steady.

All Along the Watchtower-Bob Dylan

There must be some kind of way outta here.

Said the Joker to the Thief.

There is too much confusion.

I can’t get no relief.

No reason to get excited.

The Thief he finally spoke.

“There are many here among us.

That feel life is but a joke.

But uh, you and I have been through that.

And this is not our fate.

Let us stop talking falsely now.

The hour is getting late, hey.”

Purple Rain-PRINCE

I could never be your weekend lover.

I just wanted to be some kind of friend.

Baby I could never take you from another.

It’s such a shame our friendship had to end.

Purple Rain.

I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain.

Working Class Hero-Marianne Faithful

As soon as you’re 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.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school.

Hate you if you’re clever and dispise a fool.

Till you’re so fucking crazy, you can’t follow their rules.

A working class hero is something to be.

You are all fucking peasants as far as I can see.

A working class hero is something to be.

White Rabbit-Grace Slick

One pill makes you larger.

And one pill makes you small.

And the ones that mother gives you.

Don’t do anything at all.

Go ask Alice when she is 10 feet tall.

Games Without Frontiers –Peter Gabriel

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane. Jane plays with Willie, Willie is happy again. Suki plays with Leo, Sasha plays with Brit. Adolph builds a bonfire and Rudolph plays with it…

Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside.

If looks could kill they probably will in games without frontiers. In war without tears…
