I love the sound of breaking glass
Deep into the night
I love the work only it can do
Oh to change a mind!

Red Barchetta by Rush.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djVGhqvl_8A


My uncle has a country place that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes and hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the wire where my white-haired uncle waits

Jump to the ground as the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty-odd years, to keep it as new has been his dearest dream

I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta from a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime

Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge

Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car ahoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires to run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase

Drive like the wind, straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge, I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm to dream with my uncle at the fireside

Bruce Springsteen My Father's House

Last night I dreamed that I was a child
Out where the pines grow wild and tall
I was trying to make it home through the forest
Before the darkness falls
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
With the devil snappin' at my heels

I broke through the trees, and there in the night
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms

I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride
From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light

I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"

My father's house shines hard and bright
It stands like a beacon calling me in the night
Calling and calling, so cold and alone
Shining `cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. The lyrics just haunt me, I find myself singing bits to myself at the weirdest times...
Killing the Dream -
"We're All Dead Ends"
Sing.
You've heard this all before. These words are yours.
Scream.
You've felt this way before, and you're feeling it again.
Sometimes it just seems we're the ones who hope forgot
But sometimes, it seems we're the ones who forgot to hope.
And you're feeling it again. These words are yours, so scream, everyone.
Because we're feeling it again.
Scream everyone.
So fuck it all, let's burn everything. It was never ours to lose.
Our sight is gone, what we see is what we hear, and what we feel we'll believe.
We're all fucked, so fuck it all. There's nothing we can do. We're all going down on this ship, we'll never make it home...
Nothing ever changes because everything was meant to fail. And we're feeling it again. Scream.

21st Century Living

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzmorWWkg-8

Fake lightning flahes over the skyline
A deer in your headlights
So gun it
We're singing songs about 21st century living
If hate's in your heart man
You'll take what you're given

While we were hunting rabbits

Buy in it'll shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
We've brought someone in to shut you up
It's a life's work

While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky its stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared

And I dance and I sing
And I'm a monkey in a long line

Buy in it should shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
They've brought someone in to shut you up
And it's getting to be light work

While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky its stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared

And I dance and I sing
And I'm a monkey in a long line of kings
And we dance and we sing
And we're all monkeys in a long line

I'm just a boat on the ocean
And I'm just a ship lost at sea


LimbLifter -Tinfoil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzyh7qw-31s
Embryo, grew up missin out on most stuff
but weeds know
just where and when to crop up
Ursula, what's inside your jar of mayo?
expire cover it all up with tinfoil
it seems so corrode me so slow
it boils, won't spoil in tinfoil


purple, everything shines like chrome this summer
enthrone she wrote "beautiful ain't so divine"
Ursula, what's inside your jar?
want to know.
she said
"bold, I will win all yours and drop it in!"
It seems so corrode me so slow
turmoil in tinfoil
so we don't spoil

Corrode corrode me so slow
won't spoil, don't boil in tinfoil


Age of Electric - I don't mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr9GZlA6CCw

bottled up and coming down
binge and purge and yet you never miss a meal
fashion equals facism
bolan smiling down on you empty intentions vacant grace
fall or fly
chorus:

i don't mind, i don't mind
i'll try anything
i don't mind, i don't mind

hypersensitive
keep me up like greasy spoon truckstop coffee
supermodel razorburn
talking circle graphs and eye candy and fun fur pvc
fall or fly
(chorus)
i'll swing at everything
hide it all away
i will hide it all away
i will hide it all inside
bottled up and coming down
binge and purge and yet you never miss a meal
feast or famine crash and burn
bolan smiling down on me (X3)
bolan smiling down on... (X2
