You were sickened with the vowing of silence
I was taken by your permanent high
Two lovers: are you turned on? How romantic!
Now I need a guillotine to get you off my mind

You were swept up in the buzz of a marriage
While I was secretly hoping one of us might die
A close call: would have ended up with a carriage
Let's call it "X" No; let's call it "Why?"

You're just like your dad
Surprise! You don't only share his eyes
It's the drink that's in your hand
And it's that knack for telling awful lies
Why am I always right?

As you slept away the day away in my bedroom
I found a criminal use for your pillow
I love you terribly, I swear that this is true
But I just can't stop my hands from smothering you

I skipped town on a flight to your city
There I crept up to your lover's window
She poured a scotch and sobbed alone in the kitchen
I took dead aim, and then I let it blow!

Stick a fork in a socket; do what you'd like
Just make sure that I'm far out of your life
Take and axe to your fingers, carve out your eyes
And cut out your tongue
And THEN we'll call this a tie

These are stupid, yes I know...but this is creepy! I went to the doctor's last week and I weighed EXACTLY 155....

You Should Weigh 155

If you weigh less than this, you either have a fast metabolism or are about to gain weight. If you weigh more than this, you may be losing a few pounds soon!

Bat your eyes, boy.
Be other worldly.
Count your blessings.
Seduce a stranger.

What’s so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see their sickness

He woke in the morning
He knew that his life had passed him by
And he called out a warning
"Don’t ever let life pass you by…"

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it’s made illegal...
When will we learn?
When will change?
Just in time to see it all fall down.

Those left standing will make millions writing books on the way it should have been.

He woke in the morning
He knew that his life had passed him by
And he called out a warning
"Don’t ever let life pass you by…"

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs: oblivious

Soon the water’s starting to boil
Now life flinches - we all float face down

He woke in the morning
He knew that his life had passed him by
And he called out a warning
"Don’t ever let life pass you by…"

...is the best. I got a quote-a-day desk calender for Christmas (a Mister Rogers one), and ALL of the quotes are great, but this has been the best so far:

"It is tempting to cling to the familiar. Just like in music, if we keep playing in the key of C, we wouldn't have to take any risks of not making it to the key of E-flat. But we'd never know what it sounded like unless we tried. And once we've had the practice and pleasure of making a transition from one key to the next, the subsequent times might not be quite so difficult."




I love that guy.

I found a new band watching FUSE at 4 a.m. a few days ago. They are technically pretty simple, but the vocalist gets deep under your skin. They're very haunting and soulful. I bought the CD the day after I heard them, somewhat on impulse (I had only heard that one song), and I am so very glad I did. The entire CD is wonderful. The LYRICS slay me.

Oh my dear, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone.
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
and when the flowers grow, just know you're still in my heart...
