Downtown - Neil Young

There's a place called Downtown
Where the hippies all go
And they dance the charleston
And they do the limbo
Yeah the hippies all go there
'Cause they want to be seen
It's like a room
full of pictures
It's like a psychedelic dream

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown at night
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown at night

Yeah it's
right around the corner
Up and down the hill
When you hear the band playin'
It's gonna give you a chill
Give your money to the gateman
Young blood in his eye
Hold on to your baby
When you slip into the sky

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right

[solo]

Jimi's playin' in the back room
Led Zeppelin on stage
There's a mirror ball twirlin'
And a note from Page
Like a water-washed diamond
In a river of sin
Goin' down like a whirlpool
When you get sucked in

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right

[solo]

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown all right

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium

At a temperature of millions of degrees



Yo ho, it's hot

The sun is not

A place where we could live

But here on Earth there'd be no life

Without the light it gives



We need its light

We need its heat

We need its energy

Without the sun,

Without a doubt,

There'd be no you and me



The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium

At a temperature of millions of degrees



The sun is hot



"It is so hot that everything on it is a gas. Iron, copper, aluminium, and many others."



The sun is large.



"If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside, and yet the sun is only a middle-sized star."



The sun is far away



"About ninety-three million miles away, and that's why it looks so small."



And even when it's out of sight, the sun shines night and day



The sun gives heat

The sun gives light

The sunlight that we see

The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy



"Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium."



The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium

At a temperature of millions of degrees

Someday mother will die and I'll get the money
Mom leans down and says, "my sentiments exactly,
you son of a bitch"
I palindrome I
and I am a snake head eating
the head on the opposite side
I palindrome I

see that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
see the medical chart with the random zig-zag
now I'll help it decide
I palindrome I

"Son I am able," she said "though you scare me."
"Watch," said I
"beloved," I said "watch me scare you though." said she,
"able am I, Son."

See the hands of my offspring making windmills

They call me Dr. Worm,
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things,
I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm,
I am an actual worm,
I live like a worm.

I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know and you can

Tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums
I'll leave the front unlocked 'cause I can't
Hear the doorbell...

When I get into it, I can't tell if you are
Watching me twirling the stick.
When I give the signal, my friend
Rabbi Vole will play the solo...

Someday, somebody else besides me will
Call me by my stage name, they will

Call me Dr. Worm,
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm,
I am an actual worm,
I live like a worm.

And I like to play the drums,
I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know and you can

Tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'm not a real doctor, but they call me
Dr. Worm!

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am.


Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I've got a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out theWhistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one-word
spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinate
Like the Longines Symphonette
It doesn't rest


There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shoresAnd kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off andCountless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels is always near



(and while you're at it
Leave the nite light on inside theBirdhouse in your soul)

[diecheerleader]

Birds are calling to sing along
But my window's painted shut
And all that year of chorus taught me
Is out of style and long forgot

How can I sing like a girl
And not be stigmatized
By the rest of the world?
Tell me how can I sing like a girl
And not be objectified
As if I were a girl?

I want to raise my freak flag
Higher and higher and
I want to raise my freak flag
And never be alone
Never be alone

From the watchtowers I've been spotted
Fingers pointing at my mouth
Spotlights turn and pivot towards me
But I dare not make a sound

How can I sing like a girl
And not be stigmatized
By the rest of the world?
Tell me how can I sing like a girl
And not be objectified
As if I were a girl?

I want to raise my freak flag
Higher and higher and
I want to raise my freak flag
And never be alone
Never be alone

How can I sing like a girl
And not be stigmatized
By the rest of the world?
Tell me how can I sing like a girl
And not be objectified
As if I were a girl?

How can I sing like a girl

How can I sing like a girl

How can I sing like a girl

Istanbul Was Constantinople
Now It's Istanbul, Not Constantinople
Been A Long Time Gone, Oh Constantinople
Now It's Turkish Delight On A Moonlit Night

Every Gal In Constantinople
Lives In Istanbul, Not Constantinople
So If You Have A Date In Constantinople
She'll Be Waiting In Istanbul

Even Old New York Was Once New Amsterdam
Why They Changed It. I Can't Say
People Just Liked It Better That Way

So Take Me Back To Constantinople
No You Can't Go Back to Constantinople
Been A Long Time Gone In Constantinople
Why Did Constantinople Get The Works
That's Nobody's Business But The Turks

Woah Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Woah Oh Oh Oh Istanbul(Istanbul)

Woah Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Woah Oh Oh Oh Istanbul(Istanbul)

Even Old New York Was Once New Amsterdam
Why They Changed It I Can't Say
People Just Liked It Better That Way

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Why Did Constantinople Get The Works
That's Nobody's Business But The Turks

So Take Me Back To Constantinople
No You Can't Go Back To Constantinople
Been A Long Time Gone In Constantinople
Why Did Constantinople Get The Works
That's No Body's Business But The Turks

Artist: The Futureheads Lyrics
Song: Decent Days And Nights Lyrics

This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
If you know the clues it's easy to get through

But you look confused and you dont know what to do
Its hard to get an answer when you havent got a clue
If you work it out tell me what you find

If the least you can do is show some restraint
Then the most you can do is get carried away

But you look confused and you dont know what to do
Say what you see, what you like
If you work it out tell me what you find
We can have a few decent days and nights

If you're meant to be here and you wnat to be late
The best thing you can do is get lost on the way

I can see that you look confused and you dont know what to do
Say what you see, what you like
If you work it out tell me what you find
We can have a few decent days and nights

If you want to make a guess you should know its not a game
'cause you'll never get a chance to make another guess again

This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
If you know the clues it's easy to get through

But you look confused and you dont know what to do
Its hard to get an answer when you havent got a clue
If you want to make a guess you should know its not a game
'cause you'll never get a chance to make another guess again
If you work it out tell me what you find

Think - Aretha Franklin

Think (think) think (think) think (think)
think (think) think (think) think (think)

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you, you came to me and too much you wouldn't take
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degree
It don't take too much high IQ's to see what you're doing to me

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around everyday, playing games that they can score
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don't lose yours

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do

(Think about - ah me, think about - ah me,
think about - ah me, think about it)
(Think about - ah me, think about - ah me,
think about - ah me, think about it)
(Think about - ah me, think about - ah me,
think about - ah me, think about it)
(Think about - ah me, think about - ah me,
think about - ah me, think about it)
You had better stop and think before you think, think!!

XTC versus Adam Ant
Content versus form
Fighting for their place in rock and roll
There is no right or wrong

Just when you think it's finished
With XTC on top
Ant music, like a phoenix
Flies back up the charts

XTC versus Adam Ant
Only one will survive
Beatle-based pop versus new romantic
History will decide

XTC versus Adam Ant
I can't tell you why
Even the singer from Bow Wow Wow
Can't make up her mind

XTC versus Adam Ant
Time is marching on
XTC versus Adam Ant
There is no right or wrong

There is no right or wrong

There is
No right
Or wrong

Here comes the one that you've been dreaming of
I am thee most exalted potentate of love
I got a mojo hand that fits like a glove
I'll be coming round the mountain to get your love
I'm thee most exalted potentate of love
Yes I am

Yes, I'm the celebrated Hottentot of twat
Make a hole, look out, make way for a demon child
I'll make you hear my turtle dove
Ride around the range to get your love
Are we having fun on a fire son of a gun

Mad, you called me mad?
I have the secret to eternal love
Mad, you call me mad?
I am thee most exalted potentate of love

Yes, I'll teach you how to read the book of life
You can just look at the pictures if you like
I'll make you hear my turtle dove
Ride around the range to get your love
Are we having fun on a fire son of a gun

I am thee most exalted potentate of love

[dimples]

the line begins to blur
there are things that i said i would never do
there are fears that i cannot believe have come true
for my soul is too sick and too little too late
and myself i have grown too weary to hate

the more i stay in here
the more it's not so clear
the more i stay in here
the more i disappear

as far as i have gone
i knew what side i'm on
and now i'm not so sure
the line begins to blur

isn't somebody on top of me?
i don't know, i don't know
isn't anyone stopping me?
i don't know, i don't know
why won't i try and hold my breath?
i don't know, i don't know
just how far down can i go?
i don't know, i don't know
i don't know

as i lie here and stare
the fabric starts to tear
it's far beyond repair
and i don't really care

as far as i have gone
i knew what side i'm on
and now i'm not so sure
the line begins to blur

[marlboroman]

the headline's telling me
that fortune favours the brave
i’ve never been known to be that brave

Return of the Rat...


You better watch out
You better beware

You better beware

They better confess
Well, they better confess
I know, I seen them do it
They better confess

Gone To the Moon (1:51)
Some day, when one guy in the world
Finally owns everything and when
I’m sure that he’s not thinking of me
When he says, “Hi there,
I really am your friend
Sorry, I’m doing all I can
For you and I really mean that!”
Nobody ever asked me what I wanted from them and then
Listened to me say, they only ask me again
That’s about the time I’ll be going to the moon
And then that’s where I’ll stay, far away, from here
Someday, when I can’t take this place
I’ll take a trip out into space
I think I mean it!

My daddy left home when I was three And he didn't leave much to ma and me Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left, he went and named me ``Sue.'lonesome'
Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk, It seems I had to fight my whole life through. Some gal would giggle and I'd get red And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head, I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named ``Sue.''
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, My fist got hard and my wits got keen, I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. But I made me a vow to the moon and stars That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars And kill that man that give me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just hit town and my throat was dry, I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. At an old saloon on a street of mud, There at a table, dealing stud, Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me ``Sue.''
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad from a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. He was big and bent and gray and old, And I looked at him and my blood ran cold And I said: ``My name is `Sue!' How do you do! Now you gonna die!!''
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes And he went down but, to my surprise, He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men But I really can't remember when, He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: ``Son, this world is rough And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along. So I give ya that name and I said goodbye I knew you'd have to get tough or die And it's that name that helped to make you strong.''
He said: ``Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. But ya ought to thank me, before I die, For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you `Sue.'''
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, And I come away with a different point of view. And I think about him, now and then, Every time I try and every time I win, And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Ready...
it was black, it was always black
& no on really gave two craps
it was skinny & it was always dark
no one ever thought it would go this far
her hands, she was always wringing her hand
& worrying about the strangest things
there are friends & then there are friends
most of the time you can't tell where one ends
& one begins
Johny's dead and I know why
he stuck a needle in his eye
Johny's dead but I don't cry
'cause Johny always seemed.... ready
it was hot & it hurt like hell
he sang his song just like breaking a bell
her wrist still has a scar
where his cigarette burned her In her own car
there was lust & some kind of love
but we were all so fucked up
he lied when he said he was OK
but he had possession over his own judgement day

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin like a breeze

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice
In the mornin hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin down the road I get a feelin
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose.
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy.

Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum.
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy.
