Bob Dylan

Like a Rolling Stone. 

* In honor of seeing him in concert last week and because sometimes I feel like a rolling stone...

Here are some shots from the show: 

Fiona Apple

"Waltz (Better Than Fine)"

If you don't have a song
To sing you're okay
You know how to get along
Humming
Hmmm

If you don't have a date
Celebrate
Go out and sit on the lawn
And do nothing
'Cause it's just what you must do
Nobody does it anymore

No I don't believe in the wasting of time,
But I don't believe that I'm wasting mine

If you don't have a point to make
Don't sweat it
You'll make a sharp one being so kind
And I'd sure appreciate it
Everyone else's goal's to get big headed
Why should I follow that beat being that I'm
Better than fine

The Flaming Lips

Wondering at the scope of my experience
Cautious so not to be cold
Caught up in the comfort of what I once was
Lost in all the brand new possibility

Oh to be

In the middle

Happy on the pull of the past

Just before the future comes

Hoping for the rush of some experience

That could elevate me

Up above the daily hum

Up above the daily hum

Up above the daily hum

Up above the daily hum

When is this all over

When does the next one begin

Happy on the pull of the past

Just before the future comes

Hoping for the rush of some experience

That could elevate me

Up above the daily hum

Up above the daily hum

Up above the daily hum

Up above the daily hum

Little Dragon

After the Rain:

After the rain the temperature dropt

And covered in ice was my window top

I say goodbye I wave my hand

As a thousand doves fly

Across the blackened night

After the rain we forget

We make sure we gain then we leave it

Cause were a nation of forgetters

Oh after the rain we pretend

It's easier to begin without looking back

Cause all at once air so thin

And there's nothing left to breath in

After the rain we forget

After the rain we forget

Behind a dream so rosy and red a pile of things to forget

A voice of the past tiptoes in a cracking ghost whispering

After the rain we forget

We make sure we gain then we leave it

Cause were a nation of forgetters

After the rain we forget

After the rain we forget

People where have you been

Have you been hiding

In you big houses

People after the rain

Will your life

Will it ever be the same

Oh people what will you do

When you luck

When it turns on you

Wow people after the rain

Will your life

Will it ever be the same

After the rain we forget

After the rain we forget

After the rain we forget

I need a shot 

I need a shot of ambition 

I need a hit 

I need a hit of nutrition 

I need a fix 

I need to fix my ignition 

If you want to whip me into shape 

I need a plan or a mission 

Cause I'm gunna ride fast, going nowhere 

And I left my brain in the past 

I'm gunna ride fast 

To where I don't care 

Faa Faa Faa FA FA FA FA Faa

Dr. Dog

Sitting here
I am very far away
Looking back, on yesterday
And it won't be long before
We all belong
Cause all the time that's left to kill
Is drawing out its' final will

Lady luck
She is always by my side
She woke me up
When I died
Taking me higher and higher
Just above the line of fire
Cause time and time and time again I'm shown
That I have never been alone at all

We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong

My old man
He is always on the run
He is the moon
And I'm the sun
We don't belong to the earth
We both belong to the sky
Mother me told me don't you cry
Stay at home or learn to fly
Oh my

We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
...

Bob Marley

Three Little Birds. 

"Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right. 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!" 

Rise up this mornin', 

Smiled with the risin' sun, 

Three little birds 

Pitch by my doorstep 

Singin' sweet songs 

Of melodies pure and true, 

Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:") 

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." 

Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!" 

Rise up this mornin', 

Smiled with the risin' sun, 

Three little birds 

Pitch by my doorstep 

Singin' sweet songs 

Of melodies pure and true, 

Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:" 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh! 

Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!" 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry! 

"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry! 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no! 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Constant Surprises...

I was walking home
Looking at the trees
Got the feeling that they
Were looking back at me

Thoughts that occurred to me
Where not of the usual kind
And I don’t take it granted no
I don’t call them mine
I don’t call them mine
‘Cause in my life things
Are built on

Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate... 

Norah Jones

Painter Song

If I were a painter 

I would paint my reverie 

If that's the only way for you to be with me 

We'd be there together 

Just like we used to be 

Underneath the swirling skies for all to see 

And I'm dreaming of a place 

Where I could see your face 

And I think my brush would take me there 

But only... 

If I were a painter 

And could paint a memory 

I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you 

I'd climb inside the skies to be with you 

And I'm dreaming of a place 

Where I could see your face 

And I think my brush would take me there 

But only... 

If I were a painter 

And could paint a memory 

I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you 

I'd climb inside the skies to be with you

A good Jam

If you found the words, would you really say them?

Or silent through the verse,

Will mumble punctuation?

Remembering the line, an empty metaphor

That you savor by yourself

Your never cure

If I forgot the lines, is it easy enough to fake it?

Or do you need a moment to rememorize

And model it like a curse half disguised?

Leers, cheers, whispers and tears

The final taste before you're taken away

Odds, ends, final amends

It's all right to say it

Just as long as you don't really think so

Give me a little room

To get on with concentration

Just enough to know

What I'm missing in education

Borrowing all the hours that you gave to me to

It's a wonder I could ever breathe

Under all our thoughts

We'll hear the final answer

Of all the things you are that have been paralleled

All the voices that were raised and finally fell

Leers, cheers, whispers and tears

The final taste before you're taken away

Odds, ends, final amends

It's all right to say it

Just as long as you don't really think so

Lights

No show

No sex

That's all you get

No wait

No calls

No remittance for what you know

Leers, cheers, whispers and tears

The final taste before you're taken away

Odds, ends, final amends

It's all right to say it

Just as long as you don't really think so 

Dr. Dog

Livin a Dream

Was this a dream I had

Or is this for real?

Where did I go from here

And how did it feel?

You only get one piece of time

And one space to take up

'Cause on the day that you die

You don't have to wake up.

Nothing is quite like it seems

When you're living your life in a dream.

Oasis

"(What's the Story) Morning Glory"


All your dreams are made 
When you're chained to (your) mirror with (your) razor blade 
Today's the day that all the world will see 
Another sunny afternoon 
(I'm) walking to the sound of your favorite tune 
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon 

Need a little time to wake up 

Need a little time to wake up wake up 

Need a little time to wake up 

Need a little time to rest your mind 

You know you should so I guess you might as well 

What's the story morning glory 

Well 

(you) need a little time to wake up 

Wake up well 

What's the story morning glory 

Well 

Need a little time to wake up 

Wake up

"Blizzard Of '77"

In blizzard of '77

The cars were just lumps on the snow

And then later

Tripping in 7-11

The shelves were stretching out of control

On a plane ride

The more it shakes

The more i have to let go

Now the signals

Still getting all mixed up

We're always doing damage control

But in the middle of the night i worry

It's blurry even without light

I know i have got a negative edge

That's why i sharpen all the others a lot

It's like flowers or ladybugs

Pretty weeds or red beetles with dots

[chorus]

I miss you more than i knew

[repeat]
