Does It Really Matter - Robert Cray



you know it doesn’t really matter
that i always seem to forget
where i put my keys
my hat and my coat
searching for your sunglasses
and you’ve lost the remote

did you forget the heat
‘cause i’m getting chills
are the lights really going out
did we forget to pay the bills

why
does it really matter
‘cause when the lights go out
it only gets better

when you hold me tight
tell me it’s all right
then the rest doesn’t really matter

i guess it doesn’t really matter
that we ain’t been riding high
and keeping up with the jones
never been to paris
i don’t care if we go, no
we’ll get around the world
right here at home

now the car won’t start
and the paint is peeling
so the dishes are stacking up
they can wait
i’ve got that feeling

why
does it really matter
we can dim the lights
put on clyde mcphatter

now baby hold me tight
tell me it’s all right
then the rest doesn’t really matter

why
does it really matter
‘cause when the lights go out
it only gets better

baby, hold me tight
tell me it’s all right
then the rest doesn’t really

why
does it really matter
‘cause when the lights go out
it only gets better

why does it really matter
why does it really matter baby

I can wash out 44 pairs of
socks and have 'em hangin
out on the line
I can starch iron 2
dozens shirts 'fore you can
count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great
big dipper full of lard
from the drippins can
Throw it in the skillet,
go out do my shopping, be
back before it melts in the
pan
'Cause I'm a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it
again

I can rub scrub this
old house til it's shinin
like a dime
Feed the baby, grease
the car, powder my face at
the same time
Get all dressed up, go
out and swing til 4 a.m.
and then
Lay down at 5, jump up
at 6, and start all over
again
'Cause I'm a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it
again
If you come to me
sickly you know I'm gonna
make you well
If you come to me all
hexed up you know I'm gonna
break the spell
If you come to me hungry
you know I'm gonna fill you
full of grits
If it's lovin you're
likin, I'll kiss you and
give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it
again
I can stretch a
green black dollar bill
from here to kindom come!
I can play the numbers
pay the bills and still end
up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar
gold piece says there ain't
nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out
of a feed bag and I can
make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it
again
'Cause I'm a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.

Wooden Ships
by Crosby, Stills, and Nash

If you smile at me
I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language

I can see by your coat, my friend
You're from the other side
There's just one thing I've got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?

Say, can I have some of your purple berries
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Prob'ly keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talk'n 'bout very free, and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us

Go take a sister, then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us

And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go

[Jenzy]

My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)
by Neil Young



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.

Needle And The Damage Done
by Neil Young

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

the painter
by tasty gore

these are the vile
confessions of
an unknown painter
who fell to hell
because of his obsession
with the exquisite beauty
and the intoxicating
intoxicating smell of blood

i am the painter
a painter
obsessed with the color of blood

i paint bloody hell
in a sunless room
reeking of blood
covered in wounds
i cut my own flesh
and let my blood gush
beautiful glistening blood
saturating my brush

i am the painter
a painter
painter obsessed

the blood brings out images of flesh
and the flesh calls out for blood...

[Jenzy]

Wish you were here
by Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

"two steps from the end"


the night life has never been easy
has never been easy for me
the price i’ve paid has been so very dear
some of my friends are no longer here
now i’m two steps from the end
last door down the hall
that’s where you’ll find me

it’s gonna be a slow fade
from here on out
just like night into day
i can see all that’s happened
and there’s nothing much left to say
now i’m two steps from the end
last door down the hall
that’s where you’ll find me

you can bang your drum
bang your drum lowly
go ahead and play your horn slowly

i know you think that it’s all over
but tonight i’ll be back
‘cause i know that’s where it’s at

now i’m two steps from the end
last door down the hall
that’s where you’ll find me
that’s where you’ll find me

A Bridge of Tears
by Clannad

The mist has cleared from Muckish Hill
Our parting coming nearer

The last embarace, the final touch
With nothing more to say

Nothing more to say
As silence fell around the bridge

Not a single word was spoken
A bitter breeze, a lonely stream

Echoed through the glen
Echoed through the glen

Droichead na ndeor
Agus droichead na gcaointe

Droichead na gcaointe
Agus droichead na ndeor

Memories fade with passing age
In forlorn hope we wait for

Dostant hills still haunt us now
Until the end of time

Until the end of time
Droichead na ndeor

Agus droichead na gcaointe
Droichead na gcaointe

Agus droichead na ndeor
Droichead na ndeor

Agus droichead na gcaointe
Droichead na gcaointe

Agus droichead na ndeor

[Irrylath]

Ok, so your heart is broken
You're sitting around mopin', mopin', mopin', cryin', cryin'
You say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this

Everybody plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool

Fallin' in love is such an easy thing to do
But there's no guarantee that the one you love, is gonna love you
Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds you're mind with emotion

Everybody plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool

How can you help it, when the music starts to play
And your ability to reason, is swept away
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, you're out of touch with reality
And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries for you

Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime
Use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again,
Everybody plays the fool

Everybody plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool

Every plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I wanna say it again
Everybody plays the fool

Runnin' twice as fast, I see,
you're getting sick again.
You're runnin' faster all the time.

If I could take it away
You know I would



Makin' plans to rule the world
Oh - Woa - Oh
Spread yourself way too thin.
You're wishing that you were king
it's killing you.
Denying that you're just a man
Oh - Woa - Oh
Makes you tire out.
You're always runnin.'

And if I write this song to you,
would you listen up?
'cuz this is your life, it's not mine.

If I could take it away
You know I would


Makin' plans to rule the world
Oh - Woa - Oh
Spread yourself way too thin.
You're wishing that you were king
it's killing you.

Runnin' twice as fast, I see,
you're getting sick again.
You're runnin' faster all the time.

If I could take it away
You know I would

Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.

Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
Saturn ascends, comes round again.
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.

Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what you will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper.

Defining, confining, sinking deeper. Controlling, defining, and we're sinking deeper.

Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.

Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone to
Consume you till you choose to let this go.
Choose to let this go.

Give away the stone. Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone. Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.

Let go.

my last regret - robert cray


one last time and i’ll be free
one last time you’ll have your hooks in me
‘cause i’m about to lose it
my force of habit

i want to see you burn
all the way down
i want to see your ashes
all over the ground
then i will know that i can forget about
my last regret

the price is too high
for what you give me
so i’ll stop being the fool
and go on living

one is not enough
two is too much, too much for me

i want to see you burn
all the way down
i want to see your ashes
all over the ground
then i will know that i can forget about
my last regret

no more suffering
no more sorrow
live for today
i’ll be here tomorrow

i want to see you burn
all the way down
i want to see your ashes
all over the ground
and i will know that i can forget about
my last regret

my regret
my regret
no more suffering
no more sorrow
live for today
i’ll be here tomorrow

fadin’ away - robert cray

if you find you can’t get away from your trouble
hang on
it’ll soon fade away

nothing stays the same
just like night turns to day
hang on
‘cause it’s fadin’ away

i feel the gloom and despair
everything is turned around
and sometimes it just isn’t fair
you get kicked when you’re down

remember the good times always follow the bad
pretty soon
it’ll all fade away

‘cause you can’t go back to what you never had
hang on
‘cause it’s fadin’ away, fadin’ away

when this lonely world seems so damn cold
and you find yourself losing control
hang on, hang on


oh, when you’re feeling sad
that you’ve been misled
hang on
it’ll soon fade away

ain’t it a shame
no one takes the blame
hang on
‘cause they’re fadin’ away

fadin’ away, fadin’ away
ain’t it a shame
nothing stays the same, no
fadin’ away
fadin’ away
like night turns to day
hey, fadin’ away

Sin Wagon
by Dixie Chicks

He pushed me 'round
now I'm drawin' the line
He lived his life
now I'm gonna go live mine
I'm sick on wastin' my time
Well now I've been good for way too long
Found my red dress and I'm gonna throw it on
I've got nothin' to lose and nothin' to gain
'Bout to get too far gone

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little but more of my tweleve ounce nutrition
One more helpin' of what I've been havin'
I'm takin' my turn on the sin wagon

On a mission to make something happen
Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson
Do a little mattress dancin'
That's right I said mattress dancin'

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more
of what I've been missin'
I don't know where I'll be crashin'
But I'm arrivin' on a sin wagon

When it's my turn to march up to old glory
I'm gonna have one hell of a story
That's if he forgives me

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of that sweet salvation
They may take me
with my feel draggin'
But I'll fly away on a sin wagon

I'll fly away on a sin wagon

"Force Fed"
by Strapping Young Lad

Animal, you're an animal...
You're a goddamn fucking animal
It sucks you in...pulls you in
No one knows

One never breaks if you never bend
Don't ever try, don't ever win

Animal, you're an animal...you're a goddamn
Fucking animal
Face your fears; you gotta face your fears
You gotta ride...

We're young
We'll find a way to love again
And we'll find a way...
Find a way to the world
And we'll find a way...
Force Fed to the world

No shades of grey...just seas of red
To bathe in what makes you whole
What makes you whole?

[Irrylath]

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else should I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua, seafoam, shame
Sunburn with freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried
Married
Buried

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are

What was it like to see the face of your own stability suddenly look away leaving you with the dead and hopeless? Eleven and she was gone. Eleven is when we waved good-bye. Eleven is standing still, waiting for me to free him by coming home. Moving me with a sound. Opening me within a gesture. Drawing me down and in, showing me where it all began, Eleven. It took so long to realize that you hold the light that's been leading me back home. Under a dead Ohio sky, defending his light, and wondering... where the hell have I been? Sleeping, lost, and numb. So glad that I have found you. I am wide awake and heading home. Hold your light, Eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step by inch by loaded memory. I'll move to heal as soon as pain allows so we can reunite and both move on together. Hold your light, eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step by inch by loaded memory 'till one and one are one, eleven, so glow, child, glow. I'm heading back home.

[Irrylath]

I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I’m not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn’t breathe, holdin’ me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive...

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn’t my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things Saw things Saw things Saw things
Clearer Clearer
Once you, were in my...
Rearview mirror...

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I’m far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...

Saw things so much clearer }
Once you, once you... }
rearview mirror }

Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...

Gypsy
by Fleetwood Mac


So I’m back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy... that I was

And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
(she was just a wish)
(she was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

Misery Index - The Imperial Ambition

From unchallenged doctrines before,
when ‘manifest destinies’ carved nations from innocent blood (that soaks this wretched earth yet more)

To the passing of history’s dream
from kingly to corporate elite
In glory these conqueror’s
thrust their pious swords of empire
Their colonies staining the map,
their pawns imposing the class division
Another imperial act,
cloaked in the shroud of ‘liberation’
Is it freedom’s mission, or the fascist vision?
Is it Christ-compassion, or coerced conversion?

Sanctified industry and savior modernity!
Spreading over oceans, crusading on hypocrisy
This modern greed-ambassador comes masked as democracy
….Your God is chosen
Is oil the blood of their Christ-
cold, dripping and black

As each corpse pays to enhance,
their burning lust for opulence?
Holding the cross in their hand,
the priests of capital feast
And devour the fruit of their land,
in consecrated warlust

The patriot’s honor’s unquestioned (as the carrion rots in his backyard)
And what noble intentions are not born from the bottom of tyranny’s heart?

Is it freedom’s mission, or the fascist vision?
Is it Christ-compassion, or coerced conversion?
Saving humanity with poverty’s liturgy!
On the flag and bible stand their moralistic monarchy
With red, white and blood, smeared over eyes deceived
…the crowds will follow Force feeder of fiction and lies,
your nation is lost and dead Another map drawn,
another state– yet another victim of the terror-fear mandate,
another page turned, another book burned
– onward Christian soldiers, let them burn!

[Federico]

Recession repression regression
Shifts of scenery
And warning tremors of landslides

The sun comes down
The mountains move aside
Your kingdom slips out of your hands

chorus: Your tyranny
I was part of
Is now cracking
On every side
And your own life
Is in danger
Your empire
Is on fire

The staggering blows
Are shaking the walls
Nowhere, no place to hide this time

Flare up / Calm down

There is more sand than oil in your engine

Just stop enough of the venemous critical comments on my life
Just stop the judgment and all of your pseudo-involvement in my life
Sit back a moment, and look at the miracle starting in the light
Don't stop a moment, and let the incredible happen knowing that

All that you want is to criticize
Something for nothing
And all that I want is forgiveness one more time
To be the best in the world

Just stop with all of your little deliberate problems with my life
Enough of all the crippling, terrible pain we feel inside
Step back a moment, remember how the miracle started in the light
Take back the torment; I'll only enjoy this moment knowing that

All that you want is to criticize
Something for nothing
And all that I want is forgiveness one more time
I know that
All that we want is to feel inside
Some kind of comfort
With all that we've done
We can hide
We'll be the best in the world

All I ever wanted was to be a real source of compassion
From the moment that we found ourselves drowning
All I ever wanted was to be a real source of compassion
From the moment that we found ourselves drowning

All that you want is to criticize
Something for nothing
And all that I want is forgiveness one more time
I know that
All that we want is to feel inside
Some kind of comfort
With all that we've done
We can hide
We'll be the best in the world
We'll be the best in the world
Just stop enough of the venemous critical comments on my life
Just stop the judgment and all of your pseudo-involvement in my life

[skipp666]

My pappy said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin' ...
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!'

Well, you've heard the story of the hot rod race,
When the Ford and the Mercury were settin' the pace.
That story's true I'm here to say,
Cause I was a'drivin' that Model A.

It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up;
That Model A body makes it look like a pup.
It's got 12 cylinders and uses them all;
And an overdrive that just won't stall.

It's got a 4-barrel carb and dual exhausts,
4:11 gears that really get lost -
Safety tubes and I'm not scared,
The brakes are good and the tires are fair.

We left San Pedro late one night;
The moon and the stars were shinin' bright.
We were drivin' up Grapevine Hill,
Passin' cars like they were standin' still.

Then, all of a sudden, in the wink of an eye,
a Cadillac sedan passed us by.
The remark was made, "That's the car for me."
But, by then, the taillights wuz all you could see.

Well, the fellers ribbed me for bein' behind,
So I started to make that Lincoln unwind.
Took my foot off the gas and, man alive,
I shoved it down into overdrive.

Well, I wound it up to 110;
Twisted the speedometer cable right off the end.
Had my foot glued right to the floor;
I said, "That's all there is - there ain't no more."

Now the fellas thought I'd lost all sense;
The telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down, I see spots."
The lines on the road just looked like dots.

Went around a corner and passed a truck;
I crossed my fingers just for luck -
The fenders clickin' the guard rail post;
The guy beside me was white as a ghost.

Smoke was rollin' outta the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
I knew I could catch him and hoped I could pass
But when I did I'd be short on gas.

There were flames comin' from out of the side;
You could feel the tension; man, what a ride.
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
And the Cadillac pulled over and let me by.

All of a sudden a rod started knockin';
Down in the depths she started a rockin'.
I looked in the mirror and a red light was blinkin';
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln.

Well they arrested me and put me in jail.
I called my pop to make my bail.
He said, "Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin',
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"

[Irrylath]

Good morning, Worm your honor.
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature;
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!

I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor.
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today?

Crazy,
Toys in the attic I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy.

You little shit you're in it now,
I hope they throw away the key.
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no! You had to go
Your own way, have you broken any
Homes up lately?
Just five minutes, Worm your honor,
Him and Me, alone.

Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to mother baby, let me hold you
In my arms.
M'lud I never wanted him to
Get in any trouble.
Why'd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honor, let me take him home.

Crazy,
Over the rainbow, I am crazy,
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in.
Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy.

The evidence before the court is
Incontrivertable, there's no need for
The jury to retire.
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving
Of the full penaltie of law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!

"Hey Judge! Shit on him!"

Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.
Tear down the wall!
