The band says it's the best on OK Computer, despite being recorded two years earlier. Johnny is too amazing. |

Thinkin' one thing and doin' another

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don't matter, anyhow An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway So don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never did before It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you any more I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye's too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right |

And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start, For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art. Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange - Making life-size models of The Velvet Underground in clay. In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite, And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight. So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk, While your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt... --"Expectations", by Belle & Sebastian |

My Sweet Lord

A long, long time ago I can still remember how That music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died(*) So, bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Now do you believe in rock and roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Now, for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rolling stone But, that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh, and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lennon read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Helter skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast Landed flat on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died We started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend And as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was [Spoken] The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die They were singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Don McLean- American Pie |

Amazing lyrics from Ray: Like a seed that is sewn All the children are scattered By a breeze that is blown Now the crops are all scattered We are torn, we are shattered Now some of us are barmy and battered And the fields where we gathered Are overgrown in weeds and in tatters Through it all we were scattered To the fields we are scattered From the day we are born To grow wild and sleep rough Till from the earth we are torn And a soul that is free Can live on eternally And the spirit can live on Though it's scattered in the world beyond And I've been out of my mind Ever since she's been gone I look around that empty room No sight nor sound She's left so soon She's out of view But the I find Those scattered clues she left behind A photograph with a smiling face A cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace A coffee cup with her lipstick stains I guess I'll never see her again Now my life is all scattered Ever since she's been gone I feel older, I feel fatter I feel the blues coming on We get bruised We get battered But we'll pick up the pieces that scattered And with emotional glue We're gonna stick together, body and mind Ever since she went away I've been alone to contemplate Time and space and why world's move While sitting in my solitude I've watched the stars and wondered why They're scattered up there in the sky And is she up there out of view On some higher platitude I wish I knew Wish I could prove The reason why this life on earth Is scattered like the universe I'm scattered here and scattered there Bits of me scattered everywhere To the fields we are scattered Then from the dust we are born We survive somewhat battered To a new life, a new dawn IN the end what will it matter There'll only be my ashes to scatter And all the logical answers To a worrying mind Will be scattered in time Beaten and battered To the earth you are scattered You're going home so what does it matter To an atomic mind Scattered here while you travel time The Kinks - Scattered |

I took a book and went into the forest. I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you. But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness, So I went home. --"If She Wants Me", by Belle & Sebastian |

A heart that's full up like a landfill, A job that slowly kills you, Bruises that won't heal. You look so tired - unhappy.. Bring down the government, They don't, they don't speak for us. I'll take a quiet life, A handshake of carbon monoxide. With no alarms and no surprises, No alarms and no surprises, No alarms and no surprises, Silent..... silent. This is my final fit, my final bellyache... With no alarms and no surprises, No alarms and no surprises, No alarms and no surprises.. please. Such a pretty house, And such a pretty garden.... No alarms and no surprises, No alarms and no surprises, No alarms and no surprises...... please. --"No Surprises", by Radiohead |

When I'm feeling blue I stick a pin in the picture of you Beside my bed and I feel better When I'm feeling sad I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had And I feel better Don't you try to tell me That I'm to blame You're the one that ought to feel ashamed You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed You didn't even know the fella's name When I'm feeling down I just throw the clothes that you left here around And I feel better When I'm feeling great It's only because I'm consumed with hate For you and I feel better Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed You didn't even know the fella's name When I'm in the mood I shout all the swear words that you thought were rude And I feel better When I feel alone I make obscene remarks on the telephone To you and I feel better Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed You didn't even know the fella's name (Guitar solo) When I'm feeling blue I stick a pin in the picture of you Beside my bed and I feel better When I'm feeling sad I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had And I feel better Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed You didn't even know the fella's name John Entwistle - I Feel Better |

Half a mile from the county fair The rain came pouring down Me and Billy standing there With a silver half a crown So we put our fishing rods And the tackle on our backs We just stood there getting wet With our backs against the fence Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water I hope it don't rain all day Chorus And it stoned my to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like going home And it stoned me The rain let up, and the sun came out And we were gettin' dry Almost glad a pickup truck Nearly passed us by So we jumped on in, gave the driver a grin And he dropped us up the road And we looked at the swim, and we jumped back in Not to mention fishing poles Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Let it run all over me [chorus] We sang a song as we walked along We were getting dry We saw the man from across the road With the sunshine in his eye And he lived all alone in his own little home With a great big gallon jar There was bottles two, one for me and you And he said, "Hey, there you are" Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream [chorus] [chorus] |

His father was a drinker, And his mother cried in bed. Folding John Wayne's T-shirts, When the swingset hit his head. The neighbors they adored him, For his humor and his conversation. Look underneath the house there, Find the few living things.. Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead. Twenty-seven people, even more, They were boys with their cars, summer jobs, Oh my God... Are you one of them..? He dressed up like a clown for them, With his face paint white and red. And on his best behavior, In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all. He'd kill ten thousand people, With a sleight of his hand, Running far, running fast to the dead. He took of all their clothes for them, He put a cloth on their lips, Quiet hands, quiet kiss, On the mouth... ...And in my best behavior, I am really just like him. Look beneath the floorboards, For the secrets I have hid... --"John Wayne Gacy, Jr." by Sufjan Stevens |

Would you like to go with me Down my dead end street Would you like to come with me To Village Ghetto Land See the people lock their doors While robbers laugh and steal Beggars watch and eat their meal - from garbage cans Broken glass is everywhere It's a bloody scene Killing plagues the citizens Unless they own police Children play with rusted cars Sores cover their hands Politicians laugh and drink - drunk to all demands Families buying dog food now Starvation roams the streets Babies die before they're born Infected by the grief Now some folks say that we should be Glad for what we have Tell me would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land Stevie Wonder. |
