      "The world is full of fools, that never get it right."

      "Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world but I'm just one man trying to do it on my own."

      Pure - Lightning Seeds (again)

      "Fresh and deep as oceans new, shiver at the sight of you."

      And finally (for now anyway), a lyric that sums up how I feel about me home town;

      Ferry Cross The Mersey - Gerry and the Pacemakers

      "So Ferry cross the Mersey cos this land's the place I love and here I'll stay."

      Take me out tonight
      because I want to see people
      and I want to see life
      driving in your car
      oh please don't drop me home
      because it's not my home, it's their home
      and I'm welcome no more

      And if a double-decker bus
      crashes in to us
      to die by your side
      is such a heavenly way to die
      and if a ten ton truck
      kills the both of us
      to die by your side
      well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

      I remember having to perform in a big concert with thousands of school kids when I was very young and there was a Beatles medley in the middle. I was captivated by these lyrics for years:

      "Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
      Lives in a dream
      Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
      Who is it for?

      All the lonely people
      Where do they all come from?
      All the lonely people
      Where do they all belong?"

      Because now I only see my dreams in everything I touch
      Feel their cold hands on everything that I love
      Cold like some magnificent skyline
      Out of my reach but always in my eye line

      When we fall in love
      We're just falling
      In love with ourselves
      We're spiralling
      We're tumbling down

      One of my favorites as well

      The older I get the more I appreciate the following:

      TIME - PINK FLOYD

      Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
      You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
      Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
      Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

      Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
      You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
      And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
      No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

      And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
      And racing around to come up behind you again
      The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
      And shorter of breath and one day closer to death

      Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
      Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
      Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
      The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

      A truly beautiful 'love' song this but is 'Ginger Lady' Whiskey? . ...either way. ...

      Another song that means a lot:

      the pogues - rainy night in soho

      I've been loving you a long time
      Down all the years, down all the days
      And I've cried for all your troubles
      Smiled at your funny little ways
      We watched our friends grow up together
      And we saw them as they fell
      Some of them fell into Heaven
      Some of them fell into Hell

      I took shelter from a shower
      And I stepped into your arms
      On a rainy night in Soho
      The wind was whistling all its charms
      I sang you all my sorrows
      You told me all your joys
      Whatever happened to that old song
      To all those little girls and boys

      Sometimes I wake up in the morning
      The Ginger lady by my bed
      Covered in a cloak of silence
      I hear you talking in my head
      I'm not singing for the future
      I'm not dreaming of the past
      I'm not talking of the first time
      I never think about the last

      Now the song is nearly over
      We may never find out what it means
      Still there's a light I hold before me
      You're the measure of my dreams
      The measure of my dreams

      Ahhh...the good old days...

      Gorilla Biscuits - New Direction - CBGB's - 2006

      What do you mean it's time.
      Time for me to grow up?
      I don't want any part.
      It's right to follow my heart.
      The new kids ran.
      Ran out the back door fast and the bands that came before they had their noses in the air.
      Pretending that they care about our scene just because our money's green.
      I'll tell you stage dives make me feel more alive than coded messages in slowed down songs.
      Now you're so ashamed.
      Now I'm so ashamed of you we believed the same things.
      You stand to the side.
      Rebirth or hardcore pride.
      It all came true.
      Too bad you can't see all the good things that I see.
      Back in. Back in the days when I'd wait to see the old bands play.
      It didn't seem like wasted days.
      I was so sincere.
      But now I see more clearly.
      Music's only work to them.
      It's not to me so I say.
      Hats off to bands that change.
      Good luck go your own way.
      Why play for us if your hearts not in it?
      Cause what might seem dumb to you is pounding in my heart.
      Now you're so ashamed.
      Now you're so ashamed of you.
      We believed the same things.
      You stand to the side rebirth of hardcore pride.
      It all came true.
      Too bad you can't see.
      No you just can't F***ing see it.
      Now you just turn your back.
      You said I don't want it anymore.
      Old Friends you attack.
      Out pain out of touch.
      You don't get it do you?
      New stage new ideas.
      You don't have to make excuses for us.
      Sitting there looking back I'm scared.
      Don't spoil memories of the way things were.

      Quite possibly my favorite song ever...

      I was not up for saying grace
      Hung up before our love had faced
      A table set with spinning plates
      Only our age between us

      You remember in the living
      There was no real forgiving.
      In every age a common bent
      To wonder on our innocence

      I was that hungry little one
      A pot of gold or a rising sun
      Hung up on my confusion
      My age was all, all that i was

      You remember the young living
      There was no real forgiving
      Every age coming back
      Wonder on at our innocence

      Make no mistake
      Are strong words
      Lessons learned
      Live longer
      Make no mistake
      Are strong words
      Lessons learned
      Live longer

      You remember the young living (are strong words)
      There was no real forgiving (live longer)

      Ok, just a few more. You have to love this. These are for all of you dealing with a breakup. Some of it's angry, some of it's wise.

      Hot Water Music - Radio (Alkaline Trio Cover)

      Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
      waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
      I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
      while you're taking your time with apologies,
      I'm making my plans for revenge
      Red eyes on orange horizons
      If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
      I'd drive straight off the edge

      Taking your own life with boredom,
      I'm taking my own life with wine -
      it helps you to rule out the sorrow,
      it helps me to empty my mind
      Making the most of a bad time
      I'm smoking the brains from my head
      Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
      This kettle is seeing red

      I've got a big fat f***in' bone to pick with you my darling
      In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
      I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
      plugged in and ready to fall

      Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
      waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
      I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
      while you're taking your time with apologies,
      I'm planning out my revenge
      Red eyes on orange horizons
      If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
      I'm seeing red

      I've got a big fat f***in' bone to pick with you my darling
      In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
      I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
      plugged in and ready to fall

      Plugged in and ready to fall
      Plugged in and ready to fall

      Plugged in and ready to fall


      Here's some actual Hot Water Music...
      Hot Water Music - Remedy

      I need a remedy of diesel and dust
      Something I can taste whith a fix I can trust
      Another high, more potent than lust.
      Eating and repeating
      like the working of rust and time.

      I woke to the sound and the rhythm of rain
      dancing down on the window pane.
      Comatose. Eyes half closed.
      Arms wrapped up with the wounds all sewn.
      I froze from head to toe.
      Clenched the jaw,
      then felt my body roll over slow.

      I must live to know that healing takes some time.

      So no regrets, and no looking back to sinking ships.
      I'll strip the gauze for a rational self-analysis.
      "I'm down. Cut and bound.
      Counting scars, and counting blessings loud."
      So loud.

      I must live to know that time alone is always
      healing as long as there's bleeding.
      No regrets, or falling fits.
      I'll strip the gauze and bleed it.

      There's no worry.
      It's only simple therapy.

      Hot Water Music - Trusty Chords

      "You'll get it right sometime. You will."
      I tell myself that everyday.
      "You don't need to latch on to anything.
      You'll just end up back here
      In your little limbo scene."
      It's repetitious and exhausting.
      I might need some therapy;
      Anything to keep me in check through the day.

      Don't think about your lover.
      You're already steady shaking."
      I might need a sedative,
      But I hate the taste of medicine.
      "You just need to let her go."
      These pills shaking in my hand
      Just make me feel defeated,
      Like I'm not able to just let her go away.

      I hate this place but I love these chords.
      "An empty fate just means an even score."
      And the pain this morning...
      It filled my head.
      It's Jameson.
      It means that I'm not dead.

      And I just can't seem to get away
      There's no such thing as escape,
      Even with the sedatives
      You're always in the same state,
      Clutching to a limbo scene.
      You're never changing anything,
      You just stop the shaking.
      And it's constantly repeated through the days.

      Hot Water Music- I Was on a Mountain

      I was hanging on by a little thread.
      Just minutes before I was on a mountain.
      I screamed "I can see all."
      The ground broke from the sound.
      It was all built on nothing.

      Caution: the solid ground that you
      Are on will slide from under you.

      And the pretty lights down below
      Begged me to just let go;
      To let myself be condemned;
      To start again.

      Caution: the solid ground that you
      Are on will slide from under you.
      Caution: the solid ground that you
      Are on will slide from under you.
      Under you.

      One man has and another has not. How can you love what it is you have got, when you took it all from the weak hands of the poor, liers and thieves you know not what is in store. There will come a time I will look in your eyes. You will pray to the god that you always denied. Then I'll go out back and I'll get my gun, I'll say you haven't met me I am the only son

      Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

      So, so you think you can tell
      Heaven from Hell,
      Blue skies from pain.
      Can you tell a green field
      From a cold steel rail?
      A smile from a veil?
      Do you think you can tell?

      Did they get you to trade
      Your heroes for ghosts?
      Hot ashes for trees?
      Hot air for a cool breeze?
      And cold comfort for change?
      Did you exchange
      A walk on part in the war,
      For a lead role in a cage?

      How I wish, how I wish you were here.
      We're just two lost souls
      Swimming in a fish bowl,
      Year after year,
      Running over the same old ground.
      What have we found
      The same old fears.
      Wish you were here.

      Pink Floyd - Fearless

      You say the hill's too steep to climb
      Climb it.
      You say you'd like to see me try
      Climbing.

      You pick the place and I'll choose the time
      And I'll climb
      That hill in my own way.
      Just wait a while for the right day.
      And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
      I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

      Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
      Smiling.
      Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
      Frowning.

      And who's the fool who wears the crown?
      No Doubt,
      in your own way
      And every day is the right day
      And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
      You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.
