Chad Brock's Lightning Does The Work was one song I thought was perfect for any athlete:

It ain’t the smoke, it’s the fire that gets the burnin’ done
If it wasn’t for the bullet, nobody’d fear the gun
It ain’t the bark, it ain’t the growl, it’s the bite that hurts
Thunder’s just a noise, boys, lightnin’ does the work

I also love a Canadian singer called Luba and her song Let It Go:

Too many doubts, too much fear, too much danger
When society constructs our human nature
Live by the rules, live by the law, live by commandments
Notions preconceived can lead to utter madness

And go on...I can take it. How about this:

Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want

Probably more true today than it was 25 years ago (sheesh I'm old).

That reminds me- David Hasselhoff was looking for freedom too:

He'd probably even go for a baggie of his stool. Hey...speaking of Aimee, look what I just found on CNN:

do you think he'd settle for his dog's stool?  could he get away with a shadow box labeled "brett michael's dog's stool"?

i didn't get to read the article because i'm working (loosely translated), but i did scan it.  i have a friend whose boyfriend signed with righteous babe records.

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire

I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do

You people are just sick. Quoting 80s songs like that...it's just not right.

And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist

I wanna be a cowboy

And you can be my cowgirl

- Boys Don't Cry (I think)


come with me on a journey beneath the skin
come with me on a journey under the skin
we will look together
for the Pan within

close your eyes breathe slow we'll begin

close your eyes breathe slow we'll begin
to look together
for the Pan within
 
swing your hips
loose your head
and let it spin
swing your hips
loose your head
and let it spin
and we will look together for the Pan within
 
close your eyes
breathe slow
we'll begin
close your eyes
breathe slow
we'll begin
to look together
for the Pan within
 
put your face to my window
breathe a night full of treasure
the wind is delicious sweet and wild with the promise of pleasure
the stars are alive and nights like these
were born to be sanctified by you and me
lovers thieves fools and pretenders
and all we gotta do is surrender
all we gotta do is surrender

all we gotta do is surrender
surrender. surrender. surrender.
 
come with me on a journey under the skin
come with me on a journey under the skin
and we will look together for the Pan within

She don't need anybody to tell her she's pretty.
She's heard it every single day of her life.
He's got to wonder what she sees in him
when there's so many others standing in line.
She gives herself to him,
but he's still on the outside.
She's alone in this world.
She's nobody's girl.

She's shows up at his doorstep in the middle of the night.
Then she disappears for weeks at a time.
Just enough to keep him wanting more
But never is he satisfied.
And he's left to pick up the pieces
Wondering what does he do this for.
She's off in her own little world.
She's nobody's girl.

He said, "Before I met her, I didn't love nothin'.
I could take and leave it - that was okay.
She brings out a want in me
for things I didn't even know that I need."

She does anything she wants any time she wants to
with anyone - you know she wants it all.
Still she gets all upset over the least little thing
Man, you hurt her, it makes you feel so small.
And she's a walking contradiction,
but I ache for her inside.
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl

Love this one...

Cry baby boy, not tears of joy
the one you held is no longer your toy
She's got her new boots and her make up on
you can call her your friend
But not your lover again
she's made it clear as air that this affair is at an end
So what are you doing holding on?

Don't you see she's
rare, precious and she's gone
She's rare, precious and she's gone

She was soft in your hands, now she's shattered your plans
I'm sympathetic but you've got to understand
You tried to squeeze her somewhere
she just don't belong
She was being sincere when she breathed in your ear
as long as there were stars in the night sky she'd be near
Even angels get it wrong!

Won't you see she's
rare, precious and she's gone
She's rare, precious and she's gone

It's a subtle trap
seeding guilt in her mind
But she ain't taking your crap
this time
Boy you're out on a line...

She's a queen among women, a child among queens
the finest thing that your lovesick eyes have ever seen
She's a rose without a thorn
she's a peach, she's a prize
A gift in disguise
she's graceful and colourful and when she grows
she'll be wise
But most of all my friend, she's gone
gone, gone gone!

She's rare, precious and she's gone
rare, precious and she's gone
Yes, she's rare, precious and she's gone
she's rare, precious and she's gone
Gone, gone gone...

Madeye and I must be on the same wavelength...who else would name my top 2 favorite performers.....Jethro Tull and Bruce Cockburn!


"Berlin Tonight" by Bruce Cockburn


Dull twilight spits hesitant sulphur rain
Sky been down around our ears for weeks
Only once -- gap-glimpsed moon over that anal-retentive border wall
As we laughed through some midnight checkpoint under yellow urban cloud

Weeks of frantic motion -- petrol veins of Europe pumping
Through scratchy acid-bitten transparent winter trees
Through brownish haze that makes a ghost of the horizon
I'm rushing after some ever-receding destination


Berlin tonight
Table-dancing in black tights
Waving a silver crutch in the blue lights
Shapechanging over glass
On the front line of the last gasp


Green shoots of winter wheat and patches of snow
Russian walks dog in Saxon field
From the top of a solitary tree like the one on the flag of Lebanon
Unblinking eye of hawk follows traffic on the autobahn

Tank convoy winds down smokestack valley
Pround chemical pennants wave against the sky
Turret gunner laughs when I throw up my hands
I'm all glasses and grin to him under my "commie" fur hat


Berlin tonight
Table-dancing in black tights
Waving a silver crutch in the blue lights
Shapechanging over glass
On the front line of the last gasp

...and also from Bruce Cockburn "If I Had A Rocket Launcher"


Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die
