Yeah Veronica's great. I love the beginning of the song as he starts to sing that opening line...
Elvis is always good at making me sit up and listen.

Lawn Dart by Ed's Redeeming Qualities
It was the 3rd of July & the weather was fine
Ed bought the hot dogs, the croquet set was mine
But the red ball was missing & three mallets were bent
Ed suggested lawn darts so to K-Mart we went
We looked by the yard games & we looked by the grills
But we couldn't find lawn darts by high water or hill
We talked to the sales clerk but she started to cry
She said they're off the shelves now & she told us both why
Chorus:
A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
Her dad didn't see her & that's the worst part
She was was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart
Well we both felt so bad that we gave up the search
Ed went to bed & I went to church
Now we never grill hot dogs & we don't play yard games
Since we heard that sad story things just aren't the same
A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
Her dad didn't see her & that's the worst part
She was was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart
It was the 3rd of July & the weather was fine
Ed bought the hot dogs, the croquet set was mine
But the red ball was missing & three mallets were bent
Ed suggested lawn darts so to K-Mart we went
We looked by the yard games & we looked by the grills
But we couldn't find lawn darts by high water or hill
We talked to the sales clerk but she started to cry
She said they're off the shelves now & she told us both why
Chorus:
A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
Her dad didn't see her & that's the worst part
She was was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart
Well we both felt so bad that we gave up the search
Ed went to bed & I went to church
Now we never grill hot dogs & we don't play yard games
Since we heard that sad story things just aren't the same
A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
Her dad didn't see her & that's the worst part
She was was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart
If I really paid attention time would move faster and faster,
lanRABcapes and states of nature would gallop and sink before me,
'til all was still and an orchid one instant,
one rich white bursting orchid
stood in channels and the rivers deep below beauty,
grimace, flee, souls don't need shelter
Themselves - It's Them

'til all was still and an orchid one instant,

Tom Waits - The Piano Has Been Drinking
This song is 3:39 of pure poetic excellence!
The piano has been drinking
my necktie is asleep
and the corabo went back to New York
the jukebox has to take a leak
and the carpet neeRAB a haircut
and the spotlight looks like a prison break
cause the telephone's out of cigarettes
and the balcony's on the make
and the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking...
and the menus are all freezing
and the lightman's blind in one eye
and he can't see out of the other
and the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid
and he showed up with his mother
and the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking
cause the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler
cream puff casper milk toast
and the owner is a mental midget
with the I.Q. of a fencepost
cause the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking...
and you can't find your waitress
with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your frienRAB
and you just can't get served
without her
and the box-office is drooling
and the bar stools are on fire
and the newspapers were fooling
and the ash-trays have retired
the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking
not me, not me, not me, not me, not me
This song is 3:39 of pure poetic excellence!

"And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone" - Leonard Cohen, 'Suzanne'
"If my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine" - Bob Dylan, 'It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding'
"If the rain comes they run and hide their heaRAB.
They might as well be dead." The Beatles, 'Rain'

This was enough to make me download that album, and I'm really glad I did. Even better I think is:
And I'd like to be a big ball of meat
That bees can buzz around and eat, when I die
So that I might be granted, one sense of purpose
It's kind of angsty, but at the same time so whimsical.
And I'd like to be a big ball of meat

"Everybody wanna be the next
Everybody wanna be in step
Everybody wanna ****
Everybody want the consequence of playin' the fence
Everybody's got **** luck
Everybody wanna move to they own beat
Everybody wanna make a dent
Every girl is lookin' for the next best thing
Every boy's in love with his girl's best friend
Everybody hates me
Everybody wanna fight
We can't stand to wake up in the sun but can't sleep in the moonlight"

John Dowland - If My Complaints Could Passions Move
If my complaints could passions move,
Or make Love see wherein I suffer wrong:
My passions were enough to prove,
That my despairs had govern'd me too long.
O Love, I live and die in thee,
Thy grief in my deep sighs still speaks:
Thy wounRAB do freshly bleed in me,
My heart for thy unkindness breaks:
Yet thou dost hope when I despair,
And when I hope, thou mak'st me hope in vain.
Thou say'st thou canst my harms repair,
Yet for redress, thou let'st me still complain.
Can Love be rich, and yet I want?
Is Love my judge, and yet I am condemn'd?
Thou plenty hast, yet me dost scant:
Thou made a God, and yet thy power contemn'd.
That I do live, it is thy power:
That I desire it is thy worth:
If Love doth make men's lives too sour,
Let me not love, nor live henceforth.
Die shall my hopes, but not my faith,
That you that of my fall may hearers be
May here despair, which truly saith,
I was more true to Love than Love to me
If my complaints could passions move,
Or make Love see wherein I suffer wrong:
My passions were enough to prove,
That my despairs had govern'd me too long.
O Love, I live and die in thee,
Thy grief in my deep sighs still speaks:
Thy wounRAB do freshly bleed in me,
My heart for thy unkindness breaks:
Yet thou dost hope when I despair,
And when I hope, thou mak'st me hope in vain.
Thou say'st thou canst my harms repair,
Yet for redress, thou let'st me still complain.
Can Love be rich, and yet I want?
Is Love my judge, and yet I am condemn'd?
Thou plenty hast, yet me dost scant:
Thou made a God, and yet thy power contemn'd.
That I do live, it is thy power:
That I desire it is thy worth:
If Love doth make men's lives too sour,
Let me not love, nor live henceforth.
Die shall my hopes, but not my faith,
That you that of my fall may hearers be
May here despair, which truly saith,
I was more true to Love than Love to me

Tori Amos - Winter
"Winter"
Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know dad the ice is getting thin
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Hair is grey
And the fires are burning
So many dreams
On the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change
My dear

Turk - High on Fire
Matt Pike growling this:
"I cannot grasp this black psychology.
My cage's walls are closing in on me.
The rage that surfaces is not my soul.
It's like a devil taking all control.
The violence lives in me and will not leave,
like a magician with pain up his sleeve."
"One delves in twisted sexuality,
substance abuse and immortality.
A stark obsession no one else would know.
Questions unanswered, how far can this go.
The wall of torment, my blood's boiling.
Break this shell to do what's so obscene."

But it was only in my head
because no one ever says
what they really mean to say
when there's so much at stake
So I told her I loved her and she told me she loved me
and I mostly believed her and she mostly believed me
because no one ever says
what they really mean to say
when there's so much at stake
