"Brenda and Eddy were still going steady in the summer of '75 when they decided the marriage would be at the end of July Everyone said they were crazy "Brenda you know you're much too lazy Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life." But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye."

But children lived in Levittown And hid in the shelters underground Until the Soviets turned their ships around And tore the Cuban missiles down And in that bright October sun We knew our childhood days were done And I watched my friends go off to war What do they keep on fighting for?

Annie, I thought it was in Seattle that Bono's lyric notebook was stolen? I probably heard it that way cuz I'm from Seattle.

When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face
She ran away from home in her mother's best coat She was married before she was even entitled to vote And her husband was one of those blokes The sort that only laughs at his own jokes The sort a war takes away And when there wasn't a war he left anyway
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong Are here to make everything right that's wrong Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too Are here to make it all okay with you
One dark night he came home from the sea And put a hole in her body where no hole should be It hurt her more to see him walking out the door And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the floor
When the world falls apart some things stay in place She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi Stubbs' tears...

We had no cameras To shoot the landscape We passed the hash pipe And played our Doors tapes And it was dark So dark at night And we held on to each other Like brother to brother We promised our mothers we'd write

I can walk the bed of nails I'm not the only one But some, they cannot walk the jagged line Callous, concentrating For nails are sharp as lies I run the jagged line
From years and years of practice I know just how to stand Alone with perfect balance, hand in hand Prepared with boards and hammers And several bags of nails I could build a wall to lean on Roof above my mind I can see you've got your own plans Please don't drive your nails into this heart of mine

What's he building in there? I'll tell you one thing, He is not building a play house for the children What's he building in there? And what's that sound from underneath the door? He is pounding nails to the hard wood floor And I swear to God I heard someone moaning low And I keep seeing the blue light of a TV show He has a router and a table saw And you won't believe what Mr. Stitches saw There's poison underneath the sink, of course There's also enough formaldehyde to choke a horse What's he building in there?

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! Im fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good, They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home. Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone. But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat. They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor. They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door. But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. Bob Dylan, "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35"

Sorry, Annie, I just had to. Had to use "you," too. All I could come up with under pressure. Liz

I wish I was a fisherman tumbling on the sea far away from dry land and its bitter memories casting out my sweet line with abandonment and love no ceiling bearing down on me save the starry sky above with light in my head and you in my arms

And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said, I've lost control again. And how I'll never know just why or understand, She said: I've lost control again. And she screamed out kicking on her side and said, I've lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die. She said I've lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control.

So I'll fight again, again, again, again again And for a little while more, I'll soar the Uneven wind, complain and blame The sterile land But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear I'm blooming within Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll be out Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about Fast as you can leave me, let this thing Run its route Fast as you can fast as you Can fast As you Can fast as you CAN

"Starry, starry night" is actually "Vincent." Why do I know? My daughter is a Don McClean freak, because of that darned commercial where he sings "American Pie."

When you dream, what do you dream about? Are they colour or black and white, Yiddish or English or languages not yet conceived? Are they silent or boisterous? Do you hear noises just loud enough to be perceived? Do you hear Del Shannon's "Runaway" playing on transistor radio waves? With so little experience, your mind not yet cognizant, Are you wise beyond your few days?

What kind of dream would you call it? To have one foot in Eden One foot in hell To be always numb Plagued by demons Summoned by angels And the same time, Endlessly
But I will Burn me Right out of this place I will lay you down to sleep So when you wake I'll be gone and You Will remember Nothing

Don't take it on board Don't fall on your sword Just play another chord If you feel you're getting bored I feel numb I feel numb Too much is not enough I feel numb

In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence.

The river's so muddy but it may come clear And I know too well what's keeping me here I'm just a slave of a burning ray Give me the night I can't take another sight Please give me the night
I'll be breaking these rocks Until the Kingdom comes And cutting this hay Until the Kingdom comes Yes I'll be breaking these rocks Until the Kingdom comes Well it's my price to pay Until the Kingdom comes
The sun keeps beating down on me The wall's a mile high Up in the towers they're watching me Hoping I'm gonna die
But I won't be breaking no rocks When the Kingsom comes I won't hear their talk When the Kingdom comes Well pardon me When the Kingdom comes

What on earth is going on in my heart Has it turned as cold as stone Seems these days I don't feel anything Less it cuts me right down to the bone What on earth is going on in my heart
My oh my you know it just don't stop It's in my mind I wanna tear it up I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off But it's not enough It takes a lotta love It takes a lotta love my friend To keep your heart from freezing To push on till the end My oh my
What on earth is going on in my head You know I used to be so sure You know I used to be so definite Thought I knew what love was for I look around these days and I'm not so sure
My oh my you know it just don't stop It's in my mind I wanna tear it up I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off But it's not enough It takes a lotta love It takes a lotta love my friend To keep your heart from freezing To push on till the end My oh my you know I just can't win I burn it down it comes right back again What kinda world is this we're living in where you never win It takes a lotta love It takes a lotta love these days To keep your heart from freezing To keep your spirit free

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue Thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights the TV and the radio But still I can't escape the ghost of you What is happening to me crazy some would say Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away.

Ah, look at all the lonely people. Ah, look at all the lonely people. Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been, Lives in a dream. Waits at the window, wearing a face 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?
