Change! "our hearts demand it."

Change! "our eyes demand it."

In our laughter and in our tears,

And in the throbbing veins:

"Change!

We are waiting for change!"

 

 

 

 

A really early tape, before he Producers got hold of him

 

 

 

Awesome, LC, really enjoyed that!

"Roads To Madness"

Queensryche

 

Most of this is memory now

I've gone too far to turn back now

I'm not quite what I thought I was

But then again I may be more

 

The blood-words promised I've spoken

Releasing the names from the circle

Maybe I can leave here now

And, oh, transcend the boundaries

 

For now I'm standing here

I'm awaiting this grand transition

The future is but past forgotten

When you're on the road to madness

 

Times measure rusts as it crawls

I see its face in the looking glass

Stop! This screaming laughter

Hides the pain of its reality

 

Black, the door was locked I opened

Oh, now I've paid that price ten-fold over

Knowledge, was it worth such torment

Oh, I see the far side of shadow

 

And still I'm standing here

I'm awaiting this grand transition

I'm a fool in search of wisdom

And I'm on the road to madness

Yes, I'm on the road to madness

 

I'm awaiting endlessly

Oh, will my demons come for me

Oh, won't you take me

Somewhere far beyond the void

 

And still I'm standing here

I'm awaiting this grand transition

Maybe one day, oh, I'll meet you

And we'll walk the roads to madness

Yes, we're on the road to madness

 

Oh, I think they've come to take me

I hear the voice but there's no-one to see

I can't scream

Too late

It's time

 

Stay on the course to pass

You'll never find the answer

To a place where darkened angels

Seemed lost and never found

 

Scream to see the light of

Forming figures fast behind you

Lay the past in the wind to spin

And your fate will sail beyond the open plains

 

Sail with angels onward

Live or die for the chosen one said

Saber sights cast a spell behind you

And they lock in all around

 

Free the scene insider

Never looking back to find why

Ride a course till the end of time

And you'll stand atop the gate

 

Laying waste in a path recited

Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing

Oh, electric might poses fright inside me

Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me

I've passed away

[[...]]

"Nightingale" - Laura Veirs

 

Nightingale sing

Though it's blacker than the bog

Nightingale sing to me

I need to hear your song

 

Nightingale come

And perch upon my tree

A terrifying light's

Been flashing over me

 

I would not bear to rest

I would not dare to dream

Till the nightingale came

And sang a song for me

 

She'll sing above the blasts

And the clothing singed by fire

She'll sing above the black smoke

Rising from the funeral pyre

 

Her heart a field in bloom

Her heart a sacred snow

Her heart a mirror blinding

All the greedy as they go

 

I would not bear to rest

I would not dare to dream

Till the nightingale came

And sang a song for me

 

I cannot help but want

To solder all the parts

Solder back together

All the shattered hearts

 

Nightingale come

And perch upon my tree

The terrifying night's

Been crashing over me

 

I would not bear to rest

I would not dare to dream

Till the nightingale came

And sang a song for me

(x2)

"On My Way"

Valerie June

Went to a beautiful place one time

Didn't care nothing about a nickel or a dime

Sat there watching the river roll by

Spent my whole life with a tear in my eye

 

Lord, I'm on my way

Oh, and it won't be long

You know that I'm holding on

 

Gravity's getting the best of me

It won't be long just as far as I can see

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

No use fighting what's sealed and bound

 

Lord, I'm on my way

Oh, and it won't be long

You know that I'm holding on

 

Pushing my weight against stone walls

Playing a guitar given by grandpa

He never learned to pick one tune

Gave his soul to heaven in the month of June

 

Lord, I'm on my way

Oh, and it won't be long

You know that I'm holding on

I'm holding on

 

Lord, I'm on my way

Oh, and it won't be long

Yea, and I'm holding on

You know that I'm holding on

"Hell And High Water"

Tall Heights

 

Through hell and high water

We have said we'd swim

Of all we've thought

For all we've seen

We're in

 

Through hell and high water

Over, under

We would take the bridge

That salty wonder takes us bit by bit

And we're its plunder

Like the Cape's thin wrist

And left to ponder

Fold or flex a fist

Through hell and high water

 

When storms bring waves

And when waves bring tides in

Are we bold enough to think we'd win

When storms bring winds

And when winds bring the hurricane

There's nowhere she wants

She's never been

 

Our levee's so much stronger now

From testing them

But are they strong

For what we will begin

 

Peninsula is fading

Oh, bright city's gauging

While the old man's hardwood floors

Remove again

 

When storms bring waves

And when waves bring tides in

Are we bold enough to think we'd win

Hold on, would you hold on

When storms bring winds

And when winds bring the hurricane

There's nowhere she wants

She's never been

So open up your door and let her in

 

Bridges falling down

Be patient

In this tidal town

Keep waiting

 

When storms bring waves

And when waves bring tides in

Are we bold enough to think we'd win

Hold on, would you hold on

When storms bring winds

And when winds bring the hurricane

There's nowhere she wants

She's never been

The wise men open up and let her in

 

The sea ain't waging war

It's just another storm

Then she will leave

And you'll be standing

"Spinning Away"

Brian Eno & John Cale

 

Up on a hill as the day dissolves

With my pencil turning moments into line

High above in the violet sky

A silent silver plane, it draws a golden chain

 

One by one all the stars appear

As the great winds of the planet spiral in

Spinning away like the night sky at Arles

In the million insect storm, the constellations form

 

On a hill under a raven sky

I have no idea exactly what I've drawn

Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away

With every single line moving further out in time

 

And now as the pale moon rides

In the stars, in the stars

 

Her form in my pale blue lines

In the stars, in the stars

 

And there as the world rolls round

In the stars, in the stars

 

I draw but the lines move round

In the stars, in the stars

 

There as the great wheels blaze

In the stars, in the stars

 

I draw but my drawing fades

In the stars, in the stars

 

And now as the old sun dies

In the stars, in the stars

 

I draw and the four winds sigh

In the stars, in the stars

You can walk like a neglected garden,

Or you can shave it all off.

I've seen both before.

Who did you want to surprise?

 

You believed in the guitar and the Beatles and flowers,

Dreaming the whole world to love.

But you didn't invent all these songs.

Who did you want to surprise?

 

Chorus:

Tell me what you're happy about.

Wait, look back.

Wait, look back and you'll see,

How the leaves wither,

And the crows are circling,

Where there used to be a blooming garden.

 

Loss

 

You became a rebel, and the darkness trembled,

The whole world you wanted to change.

But all the rebels are waiting for prison

Who did you want to surprise?

 

Now you're tired and you don't care,

How to live the rest of your life.

And here you all are like a long time,

Who did you want to surprise?

 

Chorus:

Tell me what you're happy about.

Wait, look back.

Wait, look back and you'll see,

How the leaves wither,

And the crows are circling,

Where there used to be a blooming garden.

 

Loss

 

You thought you could make the world happy,

Shine his light.

But the wind blew and you're gone.

Who did you want to surprise?

 

Chorus:

Tell me what you're happy about.

Wait, look back.

Wait, look back and you'll see,

How the leaves wither,

And the crows are circling,

Where there used to be a blooming garden.

Finally we waited with you,

That the moon dimmed the light,

And again on you today

Twilight purple corset.

 

We will not believe cold words,

There is no happiness in everyday life.

That's why you're wearing it today

Twilight purple corset.

 

Let the game repeat, and again -

We won't regret anything.

The drunken night will cover us,

Like a black cloak.

 

Dark vaults guard us,

Dawn will not come soon.

Don't take it off, don't take it off today

Twilight purple corset.

 

Blood will light us hot wine,

And all songs you only one.

Your blush is almost invisible

Under a silver silent moon.

 

These nights are not smooth waters,

There is no happiness in everyday life,

Don't take it off, don't take it off today

Twilight purple corset

Like me...

Like me...

 

What does not be, so it does not ruin,

And what not ruin, the there of the late on Earth.

Thin streets Igloo

I'll break it with my finger.

Be a free spirit,

But don't deprive me

Light wings,

It seems to me,

 

Chorus:

Like I'm Egyptian,

And with me and the Sun and heat,

Scratch the sky with their claws

Easy Sphinx, that is worth behind.

Like me...

Like me...

 

The lost, you will find,

He was silent, you sing,

The thought of this,

So there will be no rest

Never again.

And the dream is not new,

To the sky the grasses.

Be a free spirit,

But don't deprive me

Light wings,

It seems to me,

 

Chorus:

Like I'm Egyptian,

And with me and the Sun and heat,

Scratch the sky with their claws

Easy Sphinx, that is worth behind.

Like me...

Like me...

 

Which is not to be...

Which is not to be...

 

Chorus:

Like I'm Egyptian,

And with me and the Sun and heat,

Scratch the sky with their claws

Easy Sphinx, that is worth behind.

Like me...

Like me...

I Can See Clearly Now

 

Johnny Nash

 

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

 

Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

 

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies

 

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Bright (bright), bright (bright)

Bright sunshiny day

It's going to be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Avi Kaplan "I'll Get By"

Early in the morning

I feel stones upon my chest

That I carry to the evening

Till I lay back down to rest

 

But I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

 

I'm tired of growing weary

Of these clouds that follow me

Swallowed by the shadows

When it's sunshine that I need

 

But I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

 

I've been feeling hollow

Yeah my soul just can't be found

So fill me with the feeling

That this song will turn around

 

Take all my cares away

Locked in my low

Trust it'll be okay

But 'til then I'll go

Onward down the road

Carried by the hope

 

That I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

 

Yeah I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

I'll I'll I'll

I'll get by

 

 

 

Wishing everyone a peaceful and restful weekend!

"Forget About Tomorrow"

Feeder

 

Calling, distorting

Reach the ends for you

Burn a hole right through

 

Talking, we keep talking

Filling empty space

In this lonely frame

As the image fades into one

 

[CHORUS:]

Today it all feels fine

A sense of freedom fills your mind

Can't think about tomorrow

Just breathe the air inside

And bring on back that lonely smile

Can't think about tomorrow

 

Twisting, constricting

On the edge for you

You know I’d jump right through

 

Falling, we keep stalling

I can see the ground

Some place new to land

As the image fades into one

 

[CHORUS]

 

Because you feel yourself fall apart again

You hold your face inside your aching hands

The angel's tears come flooding down again

Bring us back again

 

Yearning, returning

To this empty street

As the city sleeps

 

Tearing, despairing

As the day comes in

As the morning sings

As the image fades into one

 

Today it all feels fine

A sense of freedom fills your mind

Can't think about tomorrow

Just breathe the air inside

And bring on back that lonely smile

Can't think about tomorrow

 

Today it all feels fine

A sense of freedom fills your mind

Can't think about tomorrow

Can't think about tomorrow

"Carry You Home"

Jamie Scott

 

You used to be a fighter

Your heart was clean

Now you're looking kind of stoned

Sitting next to me

 

I guess you know the sorrow

Of saying goodbye

To the woman in your arms

The fire in your eyes

 

And, ooh, child

Don't it seem heavy

When the wings keep breaking off you

And ,ooh, love

Yesterday was easier I know

 

Carry on, Janet

I know you've got the heart

When the stars come down I'll be around

To lead you from the dark

So carry on, Janet

My friend, you're not alone

When your feet don't know which way to go

Oh, I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home

 

But Janet was a fighter

He watched her leave

His heart on the ground

The flowers by his feet

 

Looking kind of sorry

He said goodbye

To the woman in his arms

The fire in his eyes

 

And, ooh, love

I know it ain't funny

When your wings keep breaking off

And ooh, love

Yesterday was sweeter I know

 

Oh, carry on, Janet

Let's go back to the start

And if the stars come down I'll be around

To follow you through the dark

Hold on, Janet

My friend, you're not alone

When your feet don't know which way to go

Oh, I'll carry you home

Carry you home

Carry you home

 

And ooh, love

I bet it seems hard

When your wings are breaking off

Ooh, love

Yesterday was easier I know

 

Carry on, Janet

I know you've got the heart

When the stars come down I'll be around

To lead you from the dark

Carry on, Janet

My friend, you're not alone

When your feet don't know which way to go

I'll carry you home

Oh, I'll carry you home

 

When your feet don't know which way to go

I'll carry you home

Carry you home

"Birds" - Louis Baker

 

Time stood still

And you were there

I caught your eye for a second

Then you disappeared

 

You must've flown away

With the other beautiful birds

To another place

I would like to fly there too

Can you show me the way

 

On a sunny day

Oh, you were the crystal

That's by my window

That reflected many rays

 

But the body bends before the shadow

So I put on my armor

Buckle it tighter than ever before

Fear I may lose it all

I'll put this on to soften the fall

 

Show me the way

Show me the way

To your heart

 

What is lost

May not be forgotten

What's been found before

Can be found again

 

Oh, after the rain

I will fall down at your door

Oh, when a heart can be mended

And what's gold can be given

 

So show me the way

Show me the way

To your heart

Show me the way

Show me the way

To your heart

"Wildflowers"

Tom Petty

 

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

Sail away, kill off the hours

You belong somewhere you feel free

 

Run away, find you a lover

Go away somewhere all bright and new

I have seen no other

Who compares with you

 

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

You belong with your love on your arm

You belong somewhere you feel free

 

Run away, go find a lover

Run away, let your heart be your guide

You deserve the deepest of cover

You belong in that home by and by

 

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong somewhere close to me

Far away from your trouble and worry

You belong somewhere you feel free

 

You belong somewhere you feel free

"I Cried For You"

Katie Melua

 

You're beautiful, so silent

It lies beneath a shade of blue

It struck me so violently

When I looked at you

 

But others pass, they never pause

To feel that magic in your hand

To me you're like a wild rose

They never understand why

 

[CHORUS:]

I cried for you

When the sky cried for you

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you

Though I learned from you

That beauty need only be a whisper

 

I'll cross the sea

For a different world

With your treasure

A secret for me to hold

 

In many years they may forget

This love of ours or that we met

They may not know

How much you meant to me

 

[CHORUS]

 

Without you now I see

How fragile the world can be

And I know you've gone away

But in my heart you'll always stay

 

I cried for you

When the sky cried for you

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you

Though I learned from you

That beauty need only be a whisper

That beauty need only be a whisper

Dire Straits - Telegraph Road

 

A long time ago came a man on a track

Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back

And he put down his load where he thought it was the best

Made a home in the wilderness

 

He built a cabin and a winter store

And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore

And the other travellers came walking down the track

And they never went further, no, they never went back

 

Then came the churches, then came the schools

Then came the lawyers, then came the rules

Then came the trains and the trucks with their load

And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

 

Then came the mines, then came the ore

Then there was the hard times, then there was a war

Telegraph sang a song about the world outside

Telegraph Road got so deep and so wide

Like a rolling river

 

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze

People driving home from the factories

There's six lanes of traffic

Three lanes moving slow

 

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down

I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found

Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed

We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed

 

And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles

They can always fly away from this rain and this cold

You can hear them singing out their telegraph code

All the way down the Telegraph Road

 

Well, I'd sooner forget, but I remember those nights

Yeah, life was just a bet on a race between the lights

You had your hand on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair

Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care

 

But just believe in me baby and I'll take you away

From out of this darkness and into the day

From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain

From the anger that lives on the streets with these names

'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane

I've seen desperation explode into flames

And I don't wanna see it again

 

From all of these signs saying "sorry but we're closed"

All the way down the Telegraph Road
