"You expand my heart"

Ditto

Mind Blowing Sex

Last night I discovered that in the wrong hands, flash photography and magazine articles can be quite effective weapons.

This morning I realized that I abhor "aesthetically challenged" people who are bitchy. If I have the misfortune of having to converse with one, whose parents obviously lost a bet with God, the least she can do is have a pleasant demeanor to offset the disfigurement cast upon her "face." It's not my fault nature dealt her the ugly gene, but considering I am willing to acknowledge her presence and speak with her, despite the gross malformity that lies above her torso, she should extend the small courtesy of being cordial towards me.

Black Celebration

Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see

Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like
Me

I want to take you
In my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
And your strong belief
Me, I want relief
Tonight

Consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch
Tonight

Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today

Black celebration
I'll drink to that
Black celebration
Tonight

Blasphemous Rumours

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

Sounds Of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
’neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out it’s warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.

-Simon & Garfunkel (Paul Simon)

But Not Tonight

Oh God, it's raining
But I'm not complaining
It's filling me up
With new life ...

And I haven't felt so alive
In years

Just for a day
On a day like today
I'll get away from this
Constant debauchery

Oh God, it's raining
And I'm not containing
My pleasure at being
So wet ...

The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
But not tonight

-Depeche Mode (Martin Lee Gore)

Nonfat Mayo is NOT Mayo ...

Can't Fight This Feeling

Cause I feel so secure when we’re together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I’m keeping you in sight
You’re a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter’s night
And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might ...

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I’ve been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I’m following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I’d never find

-REO Speedwagon (Kevin Cronin)

Here Is The House

Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And is it happens
It happens here in this house

And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And there's someone
Calling on the telephone
Let's stay home
It's cold outside
And I have so much
To confide to you

With or without words
I'll confide everything ...

So we stay at home
And I'm by your side
And you know
What's going on inside
Inside my heart
Inside this house
And I just want to
Let it out for you

And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home ...

-Depeche Mode (Martin Lee Gore)

Wish You Were Here

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year ...

-Pink Floyd (Roger Waters)

Everyone likes to talk, few are willing to listen

Often despite our best efforts reality cannot be altered. But every once in a while reality can be unexpectedly enchanting.

Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

-Rolling Stones (M. Jagger/K. Richards)
