All of your friends are *****, your mother is a ball point pen thief...
 
''Cheer up Peter Reid
Oh what can it mean
To be the new experienced Manager
Of a shite football team''
 
"I hear stories from the chamber
How Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
Died upon the cross
And might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told"
 
Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you in the universe

Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your soul's unbreakable
 
TOM WAITS - DIRT IN THE GROUND


What does it matter, a dream of love
Or a dream of lies
We're all gonna be in the same place
When we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing
Your face or your name
And the wind through your bones
Is all that remains
And we're all gonna be
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

The quill from a buzzard
The blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky
Or a bird
'Cause hell is boiling over
And heaven is full
We're chained to the world
And we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

Now the killer was smiling
With nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs
And the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
As he swung out over the crowd
I heard the hangman said
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

Now Cain slew Abel
He killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open
And the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh
Can these dry bones live?
Ask a king or a beggar
And the answer they'll give
Is we're all gonna be
Yea yeah
We're all gonna be just

Thought there was nothing left for me
I gave up on destiny
'til she came floating by
I felt like I'd always known her face
Hail Mary full of grace
You're drinking my lake dry

But my eyes are streaming
And my head is spinning
And I don't know how I don't know why
You stop speaking and my heart stops beating
And I don't know how I don't know why

Thought there was nowhere left to go
She's like a prisms colour flow
So constant and unreal
Things sort a happen so it goes
In a town of fallen souls
I find it hard to feel

But my eyes are streaming
And my head is spinning
And I don't know how I don't know why
You stop speaking and my heart stops beating
And I don't know how I don't know why

Thought there was nothing left for me
I gave up on destiny
'til she came floating by

But my eyes starts streaming
And my head starts spinning
And I don't know how I don't know why
You stop speaking and my heart stops beating
But I don't know how I don't know why
 
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
 
Want to wake up in the afternoon
With daytime TV and my favourite tune
Cos it is much easier for me see
To stay at home with Richard and Judy

I love The Enemy at the moment.

That sounds familiar,oh I know..its on that album I haven't got....:)
 
My mate Jeff
I’ve known him for years
He loves his Madonna
and his Britney Spears
But then one day
I noticed a change
We went all moody
and he didn’t look the same
His eyes looked black
I said have you got a shiner?
When I looked closer
he were wearing eyeliner
He’d straightened ‘is hair
and combed it ovver ‘is eyes
And all at once I realised…

Oh, no
He’s turned Emo
He’s dressing like a goth
And he’s let himself go
He used to be listening to Simply Red
now he’s listening to Fall Out Boy instead

Well he weren’t at the Labour Club
for our regular line dance
He just stayed at home
and listened to My Chemical Romance
I said you’re not an emo
lets forget this misdemeanour
Come wi me and see
Cliff Richard at the MEN arena
He said “I’m feeling all emotional
I don’t know why”
I said its those tight trousers
that are making you cry
Come an have a pint a mild
And you’ll feel fine
And listen to Abba
Not Bullet for My Valentine

Oh, no
He’s turned Emo
He’s dressing like a goth
And he’s let himself go
He used to be listening to Simply Red
now he’s listening to Fall Out Boy instead

Well I saw him yesterday
When I were walking to tha station
I could tell from a distance
he were wearing foundation
He paints his fingernails black
An It looks quite poor
It looks like he’s caught his fingers
in a car door
He were wearing a man bag
that said ‘Jimmy Eat World’
I said thas wants fert eat
a chippy tea
ya great big blummin girl
He said “I just want my emotions to be exposed”
Emotions? Thas from Lancashire, thas not got none of those!

Oh, no
He’s turned Emo
He’s dressing like a goth
And he’s let himself go
He used to be listening to Simply Red
now he’s listening to Fall Out Boy instead

You musn't like The Enemy!!!, every Blue Mongie knows they are from Coventry.

Got their album in the car at the mo', it's excellent.

I delayed getting their album for ages for fear they would just be a singles band.
But I can honestly say it is the first album in ages that I love every song from.
 
Thinking back now,
I suppose you were just stating your views
What was it all for
For the weather or the Battle of Agincourt
And the times that we all hoped would last
Like a train they have gone by so fast
And though we stood together
At the edge of the platform
We were not moved by them


With my own hands
When I make love to your memory
It's not the same
I miss the thunder
I miss the rain
And the fact that you don't understand
Casts a shadow over this land
But the sun still shines from behind it.


Thanks all the same
But I just can't bring myself to answer your letters
It's not your fault
But your honesty touches me like a fire
The Polaroids that hold us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St Swithin's Day
 
In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan
Every woman, every man

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich,
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me slowly, hit me quick.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro.

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
Das ist gut! C'est fantastique!
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
It's nice to be a lunatic.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

In the dock of Tiger Bay
On the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fe
Over hills and far away

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
C'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht?
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Two fat persons, click, click, click.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me! Ow!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me! hit me!
Hit me (x5)
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me

THE LAST RESORT


She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air.
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee,
Just as her father came across the sea.
She heard about a place people were smilin',
They spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land.
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide.
Down in the crowded bars out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there.
And they called it paradise, I don't know why.
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high.
Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert,
Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
Where the pretty people play hungry for power
To light their neon way and give them things to do.
Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em,
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and, Jesus, people bought 'em.
And they called it paradise, the place to be,
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea.
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago.
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming',
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign.
Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here.
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God.
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there.
They called it paradise, I don't know why.
You call some place paradise - kiss it goodbye
