If I had my own way You'd be here with me today But I rarely have my own way I guess that's why you're not here with me today -------------------------------------------------------------- "If I had my own way" I always say that phrase I though it was a phase But it wasn't - Daniel Johnston
p.s. to finalsbound Don't know if you care about Dylan at all but seeing as you care about Berman and his Jews, here's some trivia. David Berman's favorite Dylan song, at least as of a spring morning circa 2003 before sleeping the night before, is Standing in the Doorway from Time Out of Mind. Good choice, I think.
"cause if I'm not in a band...don't mean I'm square....and if I aaaaaaaaaaam...well then I don't caaa-aaa-are" Mercury Rev - Car Wash Hair "You realize the sun doesn't go down...it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round." Flaming Lips - Do You Realize "Forever for her is over for me." White Strips - Forever for Her (Is Over for Me) "Help the aged...one time they were just like you...drinking, smoking, sex, and sniffing glue." Pulp - Help the Aged I could go on and on with Pulp lyrics, but I think I'll limit myself to one more. "Without you my life has become a hangover without end. A mooooovie made for tv: Bad dialogue, bad acting, no interest.Too long with no story and no sex." Pulp - TV Movie "Cant believe these feelings that you're making me feel...My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel" Darkness - A Thing Called Love (so bad it's good)
Look Here are we On this starry night staring into space And I must say I feel as small as dust Lying down here What point could there be troubling Head down wondering what will become of me Why concern we cannot see But no reason to abandon it Time is short but that's all right Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night Take your hands from your eyes, my love Everything must end some time Don't burn the day away
if you're into the sensitive white chick does covers thing, two others you really ought to have are kd lang's Hymns of the 49th Parallel, and Eva Cassidy's Live at Blue's Alley. different moods, eva's got more range, vocally, emotionally, and stylistically, but both essential albums.
Watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow. FZ While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have To stand naked. Dylan
when you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you. the best ever death metal band out of denton will in time both outpace and outlive you. - The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton I played video games in a drunken haze I was seventeen years young. hurt my knuckles punching the machines the taste of scotch rich on my tongue. - This Year on the day that dennis brown's lung collapsed, spring rain was misting down on kingston. and down at the harbor, local cops were intercepting an inbound shipment. and for a while there it was chaos as they handcuffed and then roughed up some sailors. on the day my lung collapses it's not going to be much different. - Song For Dennis Brown i hopped on back of the bike, wrapped my arms around you. and i sank my face into your hair. and then i inhaled as deeply as i possibly could. you were as sweet and delicious as the warm desert air. and you pointed your headlamp toward the horizon, we were the one thing in the galaxy god didn't have his eyes on. 900 cc's of raw whining power, no outstanding warrants for my arrest. hi diddle dee dee. god damn! the pirate's life for me! - Jenny Mountain Goats
"i can see god on a cloud in the sky on top of the world watching the world roll by with a great big grin and some good cocaine jesus by his side in the pouring rain i can see god in italian shoes with a beard and a gun and a case of the blues smoking a cigarette drinking coors light with teeth so white they light up the night" Bob Schneider If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black? You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back Sting

So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights. "The oaks are just too greedy; We will make them give us light." Now there's no more oak oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw. perhaps we could apply that last bit to the D&D...
"God save the queen She ain't no human being There is no future In England's dreaming..." Sex Pistols "You can't depend on intelligence Ooohhh, you can't depend on a god You can only depend on one thing You need a Busload of Faith to get by..." Lou Reed

There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
Mardi Gras came and went, all my money has been spent. How 'm I gonna pay the rent sitting on -my ass/your face? Who mistook the steak for chicken? Who'm I gonna stick my dick in? We're not those kids, sitting on the couch. my former life i -had a sister/was a high roller, I abused her and I dissed her/ walked my kids in a diamond stroller, she got swept up in a twister/ found my calling as a part time bowler first I laughed and then i missed her/ traded my wife in for a new green roller. Who mistook these baths for showers? Who ****ed up that leaning tower? We're not those kids, sitting on the couch. Oh, get on a greyhound and ride away, different dreams from yesterday/ live on birthday cake each day tell your -grandma you're ok/ grandparents that they're gay, kiss her cheek/steal their money- and run away. Me and my friends are so smart: we invented this new kind of -darts/art hit a bull's eye cut up heart/ post modernist throwing darts smoking crack and -cutting back/crack. Who mistook this crap for genius?/ who is dancing on the ceiling? Who is gonna stroke my penis?/who is gonna hurt my feelings We're not those kids, sitting on the couch, sitting on the couch. Oh -even your mother is a crook/people are shiny like a brand new book but if -I get/you take- a closer look there's **** on every -road you took/hand you shook You don't believe me? Read the book/ Look at your hand. Who made all these things for killing? Whose -empty heart/p***y hole- needs filling? We're not those kids, sitting on the couch. Who mistook the steak for chicken? Who'm I gonna stick my dick in? We're not those kids, sitting on the couch x 4.
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you If you want a partner take my hand, or If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand, I'm your man.
