      And we waited for sirens that never come
      And we only write by the moon, every word handwritten
      And to ease the loss of youth and how many years I've missed you
      Pages plead forgiveness, every word handwritten

      Jeep Azz Niguh/Born to Roll

      Black boy, black boy, turn that sh*t down
      You know that America don't wanna hear the sound
      Of the bass drum, jungle music, Go back to Africa
      Niguh, I'll arrest ya if you're holding up traffic

      I'll be damned if I listen
      So cops, save your breath and
      Write another ticket if you have any left and
      I'm breakin eardrums while I'm breakin the law
      I'm disturbin all the peace cause Sister Souljah said, "War"

      So catch me if ya can, if ya can, here's a doughnut
      Cause when you drive away, yo, you know I gonna go nut
      And turn it up to where it was before, Nice try,
      But you can't stop the power of the bass in your eye

      If wonder if I blasted a little Elvis Presley
      Would they pull me over and attempt to arrest me?
      I really doubt, doubt it, they'll probably start dancin,
      Jumpin on my dick and, Pissin in they pants and
      wiggling and then jiggling and grabbing on they pelvis
      But you know my name, so you never hear no Elvis
      Strictly the hardcore, dirty street-level sh*t
      God's on my side so watch what the devil get
      Positivity hittin like fifty level deep
      Comin out the, comin out the, woofers in my jeep

      Lovely. So defiant!

      Jolene - Ray LaMontagne

      Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
      Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
      Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
      In the early mornin' rain

      Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
      My eyes been stung with dust and blind
      Held you in my arms one time
      Lost you just the same

      Jolene
      Well, I ain't about to go straight, it's too late
      And I found myself face down in the ditch
      Booze in my hair, blood on my lips

      A picture of you holding a picture of me
      In the pocket of my blue jeans
      Still don't know what love means
      Still don't know what love means

      Jolene
      Jolene

      It's been so long since I've seen your face
      Or felt a part of this human race
      I've been living out of this here suitcase
      For way too long

      Man needs something he can hold onto
      Nine pound hammer or a woman like you

      Either one of them things will do

      Jolene
      Well, I ain't about to go straight, it's too late
      And I found myself face down in the ditch
      Booze in my hair, blood on my lips

      A picture of you holding a picture of me
      In the pocket of my blue jeans
      Still don't know what love means
      Still don't know what love means

      One of my favorite songs and one of PJ's best ever.....


      Just Breathe - Pearl Jam

      Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh...
      As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh...
      I'm a lucky man to count on both hands
      The ones I love...

      Some folks just have one
      Others they got none, aw huh...

      Chorus 1:
      Stay with me
      Let's just breathe

      Verse 2:
      Practiced are my sins
      Never gonna let me win, aw huh...
      Under everything, just another human being, aw huh...
      Yea, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
      To make me bleed

      Chorus 2:
      Stay with me
      You're all I see

      Bridge 1:
      Did I say that I need you?
      Did I say that I want you?
      Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
      No one knows this more than me
      As I come clean

      Verse: 3
      I wonder everyday
      As I look upon your face, aw huh...
      Everything you gave
      And nothing you would take, aw huh...
      Nothing you would take
      Everything you gave

      Bridge 2:
      Did I say that I need you?
      Did I say that I want you?
      Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
      No one knows this more than me
      As I come clean

      Outro:
      Nothing you would take
      Everything you gave
      Hold me 'till I die
      Meet you on the other side

      So take me in your arms again
      Lead me in my dreams again
      So what is it worth, I'll sell my soul
      What is it worth, only you know


      Simple lyric but one I really like and hard to believe this song is not far off 20 years old now!!

      Sailing down the river alone
      I've been trying to find
      My way back home
      But I don't believe in magic
      Life is automatic

      But I don't mind
      Being on my own
      No, I don't mind

      "She runs through the streets
      With her eyes painted red
      Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
      In through a doorway she brings me
      White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
      She is raging
      She is raging
      And the storm blows up in her eyes
      She will...

      Suffer the needle chill
      She's running to stand...still"

      Is it heaven or hell at dawn
      you really go it up or your going down
      do you say your prayers late at night
      or do you save them for the desperate times

      do you see the beauty of a rose, i doubt it
      do you hear the children sing aloud, no
      can you see the leaves change the colors out there
      can you taste the water in your mouth

      is it any wonder
      is there any hope
      100mph
      yet the race just still runs slow
      the race just still feels slow

      do you believe in good will forever guide
      does your devil take you to your other side
      can karma kill you in your mind
      do you plan to solve this one tonight
      do you see the beauty in a rose, i doubt it
      can you hear the children sing aloud

      is it any wonder
      is there any hope
      100mph
      yet the race just still runs slow
      the race just still feels slow

      were running out of time, my friends
      your running out of time, oh yeah, oh yeah

      is there any wonder
      is there any hope
      100mph
      yet the race just still runs slow
      the race just still feels slow
      the race just still runs slow
      the race just still feels slow

      Let the raining teardrops rain down on me tonight
      I think making up, faking up stories is alright
      Tick tock stop the clock, fiction is my thing
      My attitude is always I and me and mine

      Oh I'm so clever
      Until my paranoia kicks in then I'll accuse her
      Of doing all the worst things i do best
      Its funny how me, F***ing her about,
      Has got me in this F***ing mess

      Liar liar pants on fire
      Lies alibis lies more alibis
      From the truth, I admit I'm more than shy
      Ain't the the times we are living in
      Everybody's doing it so why cant i?

      I tally up tonight's strangers
      And stragglers that I've kissed
      Training ground notches, perfectly executed notches
      And near misses
      Its all about going out and getting pissed with eagle eyes
      And sincerity bottom on my list
      What's the story morning glory?
      I feel so low and worthless

      So this is where the outcome unfurls and the truth is being told
      A cloud has gathered over my head and now i know
      Infidelity and my good friend ecstasy doesn't work, it makes you worse
      I'm feeling so guilty about the things i said to my mum when i was ten years old
      I'm feeling so guilty about any old sh*t
      And how I think my missus is F***ing every guy that she looks at
      This is it, the end was always coming and now its here

      So this is the grande finale
      The crescendo of demise
      This is the happy ending
      Where the bad guy goes down and dies
      This is the end
      With me on my knees and wondering why?
      Cross my heart, hope to die
      Its my own cheating heart that makes me cry

       How can they see the Love in our eyes
       And still they don't believe us ?
       And after all this time
       They don't want to believe us
       And if they don't believe us now
       Will they ever believe us ?

      This wont mean much to non Dubliners, but its a belter. 1st line hooks ye in straight away

      Raised on songs & stories, heroes of re-known
       The passing tales & glories that once was Dublin town
       The hallowed halls & houses, the haunting childrens' rhymes
       That once was Dublin city in the rare ould times

       [Chorus:]
       Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
       I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times

       My name it is Sean Demspey, as Dublin as can be
       Born hard & late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be
       By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy
       Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory

       & I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please
       A rogue & a child of Mary, from the rebel liberties
       I lost her to a student chap with a skin as black as coal
       When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul

       [Chorus]

       The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims my brain
       'Cause Dublin keeps on changing & nothing stays the same
       The Pillar & the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down
       As the great unyielding concrete makes a city of my town

       [Chorus]

       Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey, I can no longer stay
       & watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the quay
       My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes
       I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times

      I grew up fast
      And I grew up hard
      Something was wrong from the very start
      I was fighting everybody
      I was fighting everything
      But the only one that I hurt was me
      I got society's blood running down my face
      Somebody help me get outta this place
      How could someone's bad luck last so long?
      Until I realized that I was wrong.
      I was wrong
      Self destruction's got me again

      How many times have you asked yourself?
      Is this the hand of fate now that I've been dealt?
      You're so disillusioned this can't be real
      And you can't stand now the way you feel

      I don't care about what they say
      I won't live or die that way
      Tired of figuring out things on my own
      Angel's wings won't you carry me home?

      Bad Religion - I Want To Conquer The World

      I want to conquer the world
      Give all the idiots a brand new religion
      Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil
      Promote equality in all of my decisions
      I want to conquer the world
      Expose the culprits and feed them to the children
      I'll do away with air pollution then I'll save the whales
      We'll have peace on earth and global communion
      I want to conquer the world

      Efficiency and progress is ours once more
      Now that we have the Neutron bomb
      It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
      Away with excess enemy
      But no less value to property
      No sense in war but perfect sense at home:

      The sun beams down on a brand new day
      No more welfare tax to pay
      Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
      Jobless millions whisked away
      At last we have more room to play
      All systems go to kill the poor tonight

      Gonna
      Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor tonight

      Behold the sparkle of champagne
      The crime rate's gone
      Feel free again
      O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
      Jane Fonda on the screen today
      Convinced the liberals it's okay
      So let's get dressed and dance away the night

      While they
      Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor tonight

      When I see people blaming immigrants - humans like them, searching for a better life just like them - for an unequal society's problems, I get so terribly sad. And it reminds me of this truly awesome song by one of the best bands that ever existed, the Stiff Little Fingers.

      SLF - Harp

      Don't pity this poor immigrant
      My eyes were open when I caught the boat
      All I wanted was your shelter
      And maybe just a little hope
      But you turned your anger on me
      For the courage that you lack
      I don't want your half-assed freedom
      You can have the whole deal back
      Now let me tell you something
      Let's get this straight from the start
      Don't call me Harp
