OT: Music I like

[SSSnakeman]

I've been listening to this song a lot the past few weeks. This is an interesting video as well.

When it's strange days
sometimes there's no going back
days when it seems
you're on your own, there's no one else
distant eyes dream
strangers from another place
circling around
to be left without a trace

as night slips down
walls closing all around
what's wrong? you said
I shrugged and shook my head
I know, I know, I know
Well I know, I know, I know

When it's strange days
sometimes there's no going back
days when it seems
you're on your own there's no one else
nowhere to turn
when you thought this way would be
familiar time
now i slowly turn and leaped

walked in and found
me staring at the ground
what's wrong? you said
I shrugged and shook my head
I know, I know, I know
Well I know, I know, I know

I've been waiting for a while, strangers smile
and I wait here for a while, strangers smile
and I wait here for a while, strangers smile
and I wait here for a while, strangers smile

Rock 'n' Roll Is Where I Hide _Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes_ (1995)

Oh I should tell you about my power
About my mysterious kink
I used to go about fully believing I
Was invisible
The legendary invisible rock singer cowboy
I would open my mouth and spew forth
No blues no news just "hey mate, yeah you over here, boo!"
Just for a moment
I would materialise
Anyway
People started to talk about this legendary mysterious loud mouth invisible rock singer cowboy
I began to cool
Come back
Materialise
Even though I wasn’t meaning to
People began to come and see this invisible legendary loud mouth rock singer cowboy
You know soon
People would sit behind me at cafes and say
"He thinks he’s invisible - watch!"
Jeez you know I hate to keep em waiting i tried my best I got quite upset
Then I thought Ahh it’s not such a bad thing to be seen as a guy who thinks he can’t be seen
Even though I know I can it’s quite a trip
I mean in certain circumstances certain places Anything goes if you're known
If you’ve got a name around town as a guy who’ll do anything if nobody’s looking
But if everybody’s looking
‘Cause they think he thinks he can’t be seen
I mean they stare
It's like they think I can’t see 'em
It’s like I’m blind
It's like I’m invisible
Everybody’s looking
Because they think I think nobody’s looking
So I can’t not be seen so I’m not looking at them I know exactly where they are
And even if I was they couldn’t see me because they’re too busy waiting for me to dematerialise right there in front of them
Actually
What a place to hide
I mean say you were a spy
An undercover man
Somebody on the run
What better place to disappear
What a cover
A lead singer in a rock and roll band
I mean you’re poor, you’re stoned, you’re a slave to a unnameable half forgotten ambition, you’re just another guy on the lost highway, a Ramblin’ Man, a Pirate of Love, a Rider on the Range, a Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, a Love Rustler, a Desperado, a Bastard Right Royal Historically Entitled to be Bad, the Man in Black, Jon the Conqueroo, the Worlds Forgotten Boy, Meat Man Mr Blues, the Velvet Fog, the Silver Fox the Little Cloud That Cried, the Best Dressed Chicken in Town.

(Hey I'm dropping some fucking science on you here!
Yeah I'm tripping this music out!
Who else, man? Who else is gonna take you there?)

White people turn up the treble

RIP James Freud.


Barbados _Models_ (1985)


All I see is washed away
I am the voice left from drinking
I celebrate my love for you
Into the calm say I believe
That all the bitterness will last for hours
Maybe I would blind the girl
Who is drowning in the silence
She turns the grey into a cold stare
Into a storm I have to be
Wake up to anger and mixed emotions

In the sun I will come to see Barbados

The school was run by Communists!


One Of A Kind _Spy V Spy_ (1984)

Look, look around
See what you’ve found
Dead white skin
Red eyes stare bold
Rain and overcoats
And cold, so cold

One of the other, one of a kind
Some other place, some other time

Look, won’t you look around
And see what you’ve found
Windows locked and bolted doors
Running scared down corridors

Aim, aim at that sound
Watch whatever hits the ground
Curling smoke and twisted smiles
Empty streets for miles and miles

[MrBlonde]

N*E*R*D* _Don't Worry About It_ (2003)

It's her dark skin. It's your juicy lips girl.

She's bad ass!

I've been all around the Earth
There no girls that kiss me first
But you just stand there with a smirk
But don't you worry about it

So baby! Don't fool wit me
If you don't wanna give it up - don't worry about it

I just wanna feel your?
You just wanna feel my?
We should just go feel our?
Imagine.. but fuck it don't worry about it

Baby look at your girl starin' at me
And her girl, in the next seat
They want a menage three, don't worry about it

Chocolate flower..
See, I know I got them other girls
But I wanna learn from you
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
And I'm not trying to lose, I need you
They say, "damn Pharrell you have a cold heart, will you move?"
So when it comes to a girl like you, that moves me
What am I supposed to do?

But admit it
You're you're you're bad ass
You're you're, c'mon sing it wit me

She's bad ass!

The Black Keys _Next Girl_ (2011)

The look of the cake
It ain't always the taste
My ex girl she had
Such a beautiful face

I wanted love
But not for myself
But for the girl
So she could love herself

My next girl
Will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance
Now I got a second chance

A beautiful face
And a wicked way
And I'm paying for her
Beautiful face every day

All that work
Over so much time
If I think too hard
I might lose my mind

Whale _Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe_ (1993)

You hobo humpin' slobo babe
Get it off, get off, get off of me!

Baby, we don't love ya
Baby, we don't love ya, baby, yeah!

Seeking candy, on the shore
Lost her eyesight, teeth are poor
Left for dead, back for more
Left for dead...

Seeking candy, who sleeps around
Araid of telling, tiny sounds
Left for dead, left for good (seeking candy)
Left for dead, not understood (back for more)

But you... (back for more)
Always came back for more...

Seeking candy, out of line
Broken kneecap, velvet spine
Left for dead, left for good (seeking candy)
Left for dead, misunderstood. (back for more)

But you... (back for more)
Always came back for more...

Baby, we don't love ya, (seeking candy)
Baby, we don't love ya, baby, yeah! (out of line)
Baby, we don't love ya, (broken kneecap)
Baby, we don't love ya, baby, yeah! (velvet spine)
Baby, we don't love ya, (left for dead)
Baby, we don't love ya, baby, yeah! (left for good)
Baby, we don't love ya, (left for dead)
Baby, we don't love ya, baby, yeah! (misunderstood)

Who needs heroin when you've got Hope to ease all the pain away?


Mazzy Sar _Halah_ (1993)

Well I think I see another side maybe just another light that shines
And I looked over now through the door and I still belong to no one else
Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons that you left
And close my eyes 'til I see your surprise and you're leaving' before my time
Baby won't you change your mind?

Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby won't you change your mind?

I guess that hasn't changed someone maybe nobody else could understand
I guess that you believ you are a woman and that I am someone else's man
But just before I see that you leave I want you to hold onto things that you said
Baby I wish I were dead

Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby won't you change your mind?

Weekend Players _Angel_ (2003)

An ocean of you
I'm lost in wave upon a daze
And under a blanket of blue
Lay sailing
Drifting with the tide
My heart an ocean wide
Lay sailing

Cause I found me an angel
Gave wings to my heart
Love has found me
Angel
Like a feather falling
My hearts calling you
Angel
Gave wings to my heart
Love has found me an
Angel

Sound the trumpets loud
Heaven on earth I've found
Angel

My desert heart's in bloom
Don't take away too soon
'Cause i found me an angel
Gave wings to my heart
Love has found me an
Angel

Like a feather falling
My hearts calling you
My devotion is true
Angel

Ben Harper _In The Colors_ (2007)

When your whole world is shaken
From all the risks we have taken
Dance with me into the colours of the dusk

When you have awoken
From all the dreams broken
Come and dance with me into the colours of the dusk

The paths we're walking on
They crumble behind us
But if we leave now
They will never find us

And if this crazy world spins itself down to dust
I want to be with you in the colours

When you again start hoping
With your arms wide open
Come on dance with me into the colours of the dusk

And all will be right
Dancing like water with the light
Dance with me, won't you dance with me into the colours of the dusk?

[MrBlonde]

Oh I love it! How do I play it?

T Rex _Lean Woman Blues_ (1971)

Lean love
All you give to me is lean love
I`m like a beggar in the sand
With the sky in his hand and I`m blue

Oh! Black day
All you give to me are your wild ways
Well you`re the love of my life
And then you gorge me with a knife and I`m blue (That's untrue!)

Light'nin'
Oh! the heavy world is fright'nin' (I'm talkin' to you!)
I`m like a child in the sand on the beach of the land of you
Oh! I'm your friend, take me away!

The Black Keys _Sinister Kid_ (2010)

Well the crooks are out
And the streets are grey
You know I wouldn't have it any other way

Your mother's words
They're ringing still
But your mother don't pay our bills

A sinister kid is a kid who runs to meet his Maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born straight into his Maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be

I got a tortured mind
And my blade is sharp
A bad combination in the dark
If I kill a man
In the first degree
Baby would you flee with me?

[Alpine*]

Yeee Haaaa

Split Enz _Poor Boy_ (1980)

My love is alien, I picked her up by chance
She speaks to me with ultra-high frequencies

Radio band of gold
Gonna listen 'til I grow old

What more can a poor boy do?

The crackle of the radio, a message in the evening sky
You're looking at an interplanetary Romeo

I'll never see her face
Between us there's too much space

Keep losing you ... What more can a poor boy do?
