ye.. nice rack gyps

 

[Crystal]

I was singing this song whilst walking down George St today (think Swanston St) in the worst lunchtime pedestrian traffic I've ever encountered.

I don't know why, but every single person seemed to step out of my way (and I didn't even have to do the actions!). 8)


'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.
And when i fall asleep i don't think i'll survive the night, the night.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
(live inside of my head.)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
(come to me in my bed.)
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

Well, i can't tell lies, 'cause they're listening to me.
And when i fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone.
They don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone.
They spy on me, i try to hide, they won't let me alone.
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me.

[Dyer'ere]

I just gotta do a reprise from The Cruel Sea. I can just wear mufti.

Looking over my shoulder I notices Otis drinking shots at the bar and so I got me a lead guitarist. Warming the riffs, O?

Broke down at a truck stop
Got wet sweat under a hard top
Wrong directions are shown
Threw up in the men's room

Shotguns freckle the road signs
Wind burns �cross the white line
So much nothing is grown
Finished our fifth six pack
This is not the way home

Left early without payin' the bill
Hitch-hiked back to Broken Hill
Left my wallet somewhere
Wrong directions are shown
This is not the way home

Broke down at a truck stop
Got wet sweat under a hard top
Wrong directions are shown again
Threw up in the men's shithouse
This is not the way home

This Is Not The Way Home

[Tigers of Old]

Nice one Jack. :clap :clap :clap :whistle

Time for a little bit of Weddings, Parties, Anything
Sending this one out to a few posters at PRE.

Monday's Experts

Monday's Experts always know what's best
Always tell you what you should've done
Monday's Experts always know what's cooking
How the game was lost and how its could've been won

When Monday comes around everyone's an expert in my town
When Monday comes on by everyone's an expert to his guy
When Monday comes along everyone's an expert on my song

Monday's Experts

See them in the shop see them down the street (Monday Monday)
And when I go up the Pub it's nearly everyone I meet
Saying I should've done this or I should've done that
But by the time they're finished talking well my beer's getting flat

Tuesday Wednesday I don't mind
Thursday Friday talking blind
Saturday Sunday not so bad
Monday comes it drives me mad

Monday's experts talking in the tea room
In the worshop and the office talking all around the place
Monday's expert yeah they've always got the good oil
Pity you can't put a bet on at the finish of the race.

 

[Crystal]

Nice going there boys. :clap :clap Monday's Experts most appropriate ToO! ;D

Jeez its been a bit "lonely" in here of late..... 8)


What will you do when you get lonely,
No one waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging darlin' please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Tried to give you consolation
Your old man let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
You turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging darlin' please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Make the best of the situation,
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way,
Or tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla, you got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging darlin' please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla, you got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging darlin' please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?

I'm going to dedicate this one to one of my all time favourite artists, who released her first album in 10 odd years this week. The one & only Kate Bush 8)

Wuthering Heights

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night.
You told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find a lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love.
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roam in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me--Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold!

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home. I´m so cold!

AHHHHHHH YAAAAA YAAAA OHHHH YAAAAAAA

Love ya Kate  8)

Tigers of old here my review of the new CD for you just wote one for another forum thought you might be inerested
must be someting about 2005 but 2 of my fave artists have made comeback cds Stevie Wonder and Kate Bush(both comebacks worth waiting for)
Kate Bush Aerial
I'm happy Kate Bush has made a comeback in her own, special and musically-inclined way. She's a woman of music like no other. I didn't even know of Kate's return until last week. She hasn't recored scince the Red Shoes 12 years ago ..
Must amit to having a huge cush on Kate years ago
Her music also remids me of a very special relationship I had with a very special Kate fan which I mucked up (she is now a Professor in York England ).
The double album runs only a hair over eighty minutes long, but is split more conceptually-- the first disc, titled "A Sea of Honey", is a collection of unrelated songs. The second, titled "A Sky of Honey", is a reflection on the passage of a day.

Certainly the material on the first disc covers a lot of ground-- Bush seems to pretty much pick up where she left off, although her arrangements show a downright stunning depth as instruments swirl in and out of the mix. Opener and leadoff single "King of the Mountain" is a good example both of this and of the best sort of Kate Bush pop song-- it opens with electronic percussion and synths and eventually live drums joining to create a mid-tempo loping beat until the second verse where an electric guitar shows up and take the focus. Over all of this, Bush sings passionately about man becoming a myth, overt references to Elvis Presley and "Citizen Kane" throughout. The remainder of the disc proves amazingly diverse, treading through a harpsichord-driven ballad about her son (the achingly sentimental "Bertie"-- Bush pulls off expression of parental love better than anyone I've heard with her recitation of "you bring me such joy"), a driven, passionate piano piece about a house cleaner ("Mrs. Bartolozzi"), a funky pop song ("How to Be Invisible") and a lovely, subdued piano ballad ("A Coral Room"), among others. That it maintains a high level of quality throughout is a testament to its creator.

The second disc is definitely feels like a suite-- the music is all very relaxed, with rolling piano lines, lush strings, and hand drums playing in and out. The piece is constructed with several songs and some briefer tracks that establish continuity of the pieces, and while musically it's less diverse than the first disc, there are no fewer powerful moments from the delicate chords and wide-eyed (the latter by Bush's son Bertie) on the opening "Prelude" to the utterly superb "Sunset", which opens as a jazz-tinged ballad before moving into a frantic Spanish guitar section complete with castinets to the simply fantastic "Somewhere in Between".

The only thing this album is missing, truthfully, is that one piece that trumps them all-- there's nothing as immense as "This Woman's Work" or "The Infant Kiss" that stops you in your tracks, but even without that, the album is consistently of high quality and truthfully was worth the endless wait. Highly recommended.

 

[Tigers of Old]

:clap Soulman "Mr Dynamite" Pete. Thanks so much for that. I've listened to a couple of the preview tracks off her website and it sounds fantastic. After your glowing review, I'm off to get Ms Bush's new disc this weekend. Truly an original .
For those younger readers who don't have a clue who she is, I also highly recommend her best of album "The Whole Story".  A truly unique sound has Kate B. :thumbsup

 

[Crystal]

Soulman....!!! :hearton :hearton Would love to catch one of your gigs next time I'm in Melb! Don't be shy now, tell us where you're playing next!!

I've just rocked in from a massive night, so apologies for the sllllllllllllllurring lyrics on this next one !! ToO, God knows why but you got me in a Tori Amos kinda mood by the mere mention of my all time fave rock Goddess Kate Bush. :hearton

Que the fuckoff wicked keyboard intro!!........... ;D

Never was a cornflake girl

rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

 

[brutus25]

A particular favorite of mine....just wonder where his thoughts were when Tim Freedman wrote it..

The Whitlams

NO APHRODISIAC

A letter to you on a cassette
'Cause we don't write anymore
Gotta make it up quickly
There's people asleep on the second floor
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth beauty and a picture of you

You'll be walking your dog in a few hours
I'll be asleep in my brother's house
You're a thousand miles away
With food between your teeth
Come up for summer I've got a place near the beach
There's room for your dog

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth beauty and a picture of you

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Youth truth beauty fame boredom and a bottle of pills

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
You shouldn't leave me alone

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Bare feet like a tom-boy and a crooked smile

Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair innocence
Saturday and a picture of you
A letter to you on a cassette
You shouldn't leave me alone

Forty shaved sexy wants to do it all day
With a gun-totin' trigger-happy tranny named Kinky Renée
Tired teacher twenty-eight seeks regular meetings for masculine muscular nappy-clad brutal breeding
While his wife rough-wrestles with a puppy all aquiver
on a wine-soaked strobe-lit Asiatic hall of mirrors and a dash of loneliness
There's no aphrodisiac quite like it
Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair innocence impunity and a picture of you
I got a video set-up me love you short time she pay me suck his finger with some fine wine
