If I had MONSTER sound system, I would always play:

[Ptah]

"My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)"

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

Out of the blue
and into the black
They give you this,
but you pay for that
And once you're gone,
you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.

The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
This is the story
of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
than it is to rust
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

[flvegan]

1. Rise Against, "State of the Union" specifically

this part:

GUILTY, is what our graves will read,
no year, no family, we did nothing (NOTHING)
to stop the murder of, of people, just like us

[ZombieNixon]

2. That song sounds completely AWESOME on my system!!!!

Floor-shakingly awesome!!! :bounce:

[Ptah]

3. Chest cavity thumpin!

Luv it.

[ZombieNixon]

5. Yes, indeed!

I played it just now and irritated the people in the next room!

[flvegan]

8. If it weren't so many words...

I'd tattoo that bridge across my stomach.

Kick-ass, ZN. Glad you liked it.

[ZombieNixon]

10. That was the last CD I actually bought.

I've played it far, faaaar too much. Now that I'm in college, I have no money to buy music. :cry: :D

[maveric]

4. Which version? Acoustic or Electric?

Both are great.

[Ptah]

6. Electric, please. Then it would be

"Sick Of You"

I was up in the morning with the TV blarin'
brush my teeth sittin' watchin' the news
All the beaches were closed the ocean was a Red Sea
but there was no one there to part in two
There was no fresh salad because there's hypos in the cabbage
Staten Island disappeared at noon
And they say the midwest is in great distress
and NASA blew up the moon

The ozone layer has no ozone anymore
and you're gonna leave me for the guy next door
I'm Sick of You, I'm Sick of You

[nutsnberries]

7. just

:) yeah.




(and btw, when i first came to DU i wondered if HEyHEY had an alter ego MyMY, but i don't think so. :shrug: maybe i'll ask him someday.)

[Ptah]

9. I grew up near Canada, They are good neighbors.

I I don't don't know know If If Hey Hey , My My
is is

[nutsnberries]

13. you don't know if Hey Hey, My My is a good neighbor?

you don't know if HEyHEY is MyMY's alter ego?

i'm easily confused ;)

BUT i'll agree that Canada is a good neighbor. Beautiful scenery, i always enjoy visiting, and i've got a few good Canadian friends. Neil is my favorite Canadian export.

Is that your painting? nice. i'd like to be on that water.

[Ptah]

15. That painting was done by one of my Grandmothers.

It's St. Mary's Lake
Glacier National/Waterton Park.
Goose Island.
She painted this in 1962. If you compare the
glacial spread from then to now, you will
be sad.
In twenty-five years, there will be no glaciers in Glacier.

:cry:

[nutsnberries]

17. just the memory of glaciers in Glacier

make sure you keep the painting. :hug:

[Ptah]

19. Even if I lose the painting,

I will still have the lessons she and her husband taught me.
I grew up on a farm.
The first money I earned off my parents farm
was in a flower shop, at my Grandma's elbow,
centerpieces, funeral carpets, prom corsages, etc,

:hug: :pals:
oops, I meant to say Grandpa taught me blacksmithing.

[nutsnberries]

25. yup, that's what lives on when we die

-the effect we've left on those who knew and loved us
(and even those who sorta knew us and/or maybe didn't love us. :shrug: )

the paintings, the poems, the songs, and random stuff are just some tactile, cherished reminders of their spirit.

and whaddya know... it's after midnight now and the birthday of a friend that died years ago. i think i'll post something short and sweet that he took to heart. it seems like the thing to do considering i wasn't thinking of him until i started typing this and realized the time, the date.

:) thanks for unknowingly reminding me.

[liberaltrucker]

11. "Twilight Zone" Golden Earring. Ominous.

(somewhere in a lonely hotel room,
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him,
It's two a.m...........)

It's two a.m., the fear has gone
I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know,
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
A double-crossed messenger, all alone
I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hit man comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

[Ptah]

12. Dude, catch your breath.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[liberaltrucker]

14. Agreed

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[Ptah]

16. If you are ever in Tucson, I'll buy you a drink.

[liberaltrucker]

[saged52]

18. l.t. - I'd play that song on any kind of sound system!

[liberaltrucker]

23. Album? Damn, we're showing our age

:rofl:

[saged52]

26. and loving that age!

And I love those old albums - quite a large collection. After Buffalo Springfield is done - I'm thinking some Alliotah, Haynes, & Jeremiah - or maybe Brewer & Shipley - yeh, I'm old!

[liberaltrucker]

27. Funny you should mention B and S

One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Awaitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Whoooo do you love, I hope it's me
I've bin a changin', as you can plainly see
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my momma said
If I should choose to make a part of me, surely strike me dead
Now I'm one toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
I'm waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I bin away a country mile,
Now I'm returnin' showin' off a smile
I met all the girls and loved myself a few
Ended by surprise like everything else I've been through
It opened up my eyes and now I'm
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I want to be
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line

[ovidsen]

"Sick of Myself" - Matthew Sweet

"Honeysuckle Blue" - Drivin' 'n' Cryin'

"Do Ya" - Electric Light Orchestra

"Midnight Blue" - Lou Gramm (so sue me)
