Walking alone tonight
'Cause I've only got room for two.
Me and my burdened black heart,
It's all we know how to do.

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see.
Sick of all this inertia,
I want a human "BEING"!

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods.
A black heart pollutes me
And I think...

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.

Pulled by a false inertia,
Pushed out by circumstance.
Pistol firing at my feet
That's coercing me to dance.

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I'm sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb.
Watch me go.

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods.
A lit path eludes me
And I think...

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you.
Set this old black heart inertia aflame.
Send it away... (8X)

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you.
Set this old black heart inertia aflame.

Set it aflame, send it away... (6X)

Baby
Gimme a sign
A message coming throug
With all we're
Leaving behind
I miss you
I want to know about you
I want to live around you
But it's easy to worry here
Oh I hope I don't disappear
I know, yeah, I know
But I'm leaving it up to you
Yeah baby
Yeah baby
I needed some time
To figure out my shit
Still walking
Through the mines
Explosions never far
I want to know about you
I want to live around you
But it's easy to worry here
Oh I hope I don't disappear
I know, yeah, I know
I know we'll have to choose
Is there anything left to lose?
Yeah baby, yeah baby
When you're gone
I know it's so hard
I know if you come to me
I can make us happy
Yeah baby
I'm here inside
I need to tell you something
Put your hand in mine
I want your name baby
I don't know your name anymore
I don't know your name anymore
I never knew your name before
Yeah, baby

Thin Lizzy - Massacre

Από το πρόσφατα κυκλοφορήσαν ζωντανό άλμπουμ των Thin Lizzy - Still Dangerous που προέρχεται από τις συναυλίες τους στο Tower Theatre της Philadelphia στις 20 & 21 Οκτωβρίου 1977.

At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo

Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield

There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he doesn't care at all

The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear

If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In His name, they used the weapons
For the massacre

There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand

------------------

The end is near.
The end is near, the time has come:
There ain’t no way–
Nobody will save you now.

The end is near,
The end is near. The time has come:
Don’t even think
That there’s a way out of this.

Down the road and up the creek: it’s over.
It’s such a clear and certain hell of
thing: it’s over.

“You’re on your own.”
You’re on your own. Once upon a time
(the other night),
you couldn’t do nothing right,

“I’m on my own,”
you said to yourself down on your
luck, woe is me,
etc.: lonely. See,
the worst times weren’t so bad,
compared to this. Though
that ain’t much comfort. I might try to
reminisce. No.

The end is near,
The end is near, the time has come.
Don’t even think.
That there’s a way out of this:

The end is near.
The end is near. The time has come.
There ain’t no way;
There’s nothing will save us now.

Dave Matthews Band - Why I Am

Το δεύτερο σινγκλ από το νέο άλμπουμ των Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, που κυκλοφόρησε στις 2 Ιουνίου θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 13 Ιουλιου ακολουθώντας το Funny the Way It Is.

I grew from monkey into man
then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time

It's why i am
why i am
why i am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb. Hello
A king of men it makes no sense
When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch

But it's why I am
always the one to make you smile
Why I am
still snake in the woodpile
It's Why I am
still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb
So will my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry
The lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

Its the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

(Tim Reynolds solo)

Its why I am
unlikely to agree
Why I am
climbin out of my monkey tree
Why I am
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King
we'll be drinkin Big Whiskey while we dance and sing
and when my story ends its gonna end with him
Heaven or Hell I'm goin there with the GrooGrux King
Its Why i am
the apple of your pretty eye
Why I am
a snake in the woodpile
Why I am
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King

out of my head an into the womb
so will my ghost takes me from you
you can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry

John Vanderslice - Forest Knolls

we were unprepared
by rights we should have been aware
with bow and flint and arrow
there were three deer outside the window

my father's father would've known
how to pull that wire and steady the bow
send that arrow into her beating heart
how to cut her and use every part

we've got food for weeks and weeks
and all that blood would find its way to the carpet
sitting there I couldn't shake that guilt
as the deer walked free up the hill

Put me on the train, send me back to my home
Couldn’t live without you when I tried to roam
Put me by the window, let me see outside
Looking at the places where all my family died

he stumbled into faith and thought,
this is all there is
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and all the gods in all the worlds
began colliding on a backdrop of blue

blue lips
blue veins

he took a step but then felt tired
he said, I'll rest a little while
but when he tried to walk again
he wasn't a child
and all the people hurried past
real fast and no one ever smiled

blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of the planet from far, far away

he stumbled into faith and thought,
this is all there is
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and no one saw and no one heard
they just followed lead
the pictures in his mind awoke
and began to breed

they started off beneath the knowledge tree
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
they marched along the railroad tracks
and smiled real wide for the camera lenses
they made it past the enemy lines
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines

blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of the planet from far, far away...

blue...the most human color...

blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away...
