The Tragically Hip - Nautical Disaster
I had this dream where I relished the fray and the screaming filled my head all day.
It was as though I had been spit here,
Settled in,
Into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,
Off the coast of France, dear.
One afternoon,
Four thousand men died in the water here and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might in your blood.
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only,
Anything that systematic would get you hated.
It's not a deal not a test nor a love of something fated.
(Death)
The selection was quick,
The crew was picked and those left in the water were kicked off our pant leg and we headed for home.
Then the dream ends when the phone rings,
You're doing alright he said it's out there most days and nights,
But only a fool would complain.
Anyway Susan, if you like,
Our conversation is as faint as a sound in my memory,
As those fingernails scratching on my hull.

The Tragically Hip - Fly
Seventy days to cross the ocean
Seventy nights where no one's going to hear me fall
Freddie Mercury, I've sometimes wished
I'd never been born at all
That's right
I remain unphotographed, yeah
I don't exaggerate my intelligence
I might turn a broom into a tree
But I'll never be one of them
That's right
I fly
'Cause there's no why in getting beaten up by
A guy
Who cries before he fights
I don't want them to see me like this
The way they like to kick people when they're down
You said, "Please stop worrying about this
They stop kicking once you're down"
That's right
There's Mistaken Point, Newfoundland
There's Moonbeam Ontari-ari-o
There are places I've never been
And always wanted to go
That's right
Fly
'Cause woe betide a guy who just lives to fight
Fly
Love is to try die trying
Fly, yeah, that's right
Fly, yeah, that's right
Try, love is to try die trying
Coastline rising out of the ocean
Coastline rises like a pair of glowing thighs
There's something down deep inside me
Says where you been all my life
Fly, turn your back, get your face in the sky
Fly, love is to try die trying
Try, left and right, across your mind
Try, love is to try and die trying

Re: Song Lyrics (and music in general)
I've been smoking on the peace pipe
I've been wondering just what would peace be like
I've been staring into headlights
Swallow me whole, finding my peace of mind
I'm just trying to seize the moment
Trying to love the little things, even if they're hard to love
A monument to love unspoken
Carved into stone, unwilling to come undone
It feels good to be running from the devil
Another breath and I'm up another level
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
I remember back in Oakland
I was lying there in rapture on the bathroom floor
Moving hotel to hotel
Out on the road, no idea really what's in store
Light it up just like a flashlight
Let it shine, let it rise just like a foreign sun
Turn it over and it's capsized
It's finally done, the battle's lost yet I feel I've won
It feels good to be running from the devil
Another breath and I'm up another level
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
It feels good to be me
I'm high, staring at the ceiling
Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling
What comes next, I see a light
I'm along for the ride as I'm taking flight
I'm high, staring at the ceiling
Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling
What comes next, I see a light
I'm along for the ride as I'm taking flight
It feels good to be running from the devil
Another breath and I'm up another level
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
It feels good for the first time in a long time to be me
It feels good for the first time in a while I'm free
I'm high, staring at the ceiling
Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling
What comes next, I see a light
I'm along for the ride as I'm taking flight

Kyuss - Space Cadet
I'm standing alone on the cliffs of the world
No one ever tends to me
Sitting alone, covered in rays
Some things are so my mind can breath
Waiting is hard, fucking takes so long
Draped in sun, hands in sand
Earth acid cleanses me, cleanses me clean
But the world it never comes
It never comes
It never comes
It never comes
I lay on my side in the edge of the room
She never expects anything from me
When all the days, the days of the year
I know I miss that part of me
Waiting is hard, fucking takes so long
Draped in sun, hands in sand
Earth acid cleanses me, cleanses me clean
But the world it never comes
It never comes
It never comes
It never comes
It never comes
It never comes

Writing’s On The Wall – Scandroid
Fade into this waking dream
As darkness falls
On our own, it’s you and me baby
When the writing’s on the wall
We walk in the daylight
Consumed by the sprawl
We know that the darkness is coming
‘Cuz the writing’s on the wall
We talk in the twilight
And wait for rain to fall
On our own, we face what is coming
‘Cuz the writing’s on the wall
Fade into this waking dream
As darkness falls
On our own, it’s you and me baby
When the writing’s on the wall
We cling to the outline
Of these buildings tall
In New York the skyline is falling
‘Cuz the writing’s on the wall
We are future bloodline
We’re living once and for all
We wait for the darkness that’s coming
‘Cuz the writing’s on the wall
Fade into this waking dream
As darkness falls
On our own, it’s you and me baby
When the writing’s on the wall
Lost inside the Datastream
Under nightfall
On our own, it’s you and me baby
When the writing’s on the wall
(When the writing’s on the wall)
(When the writing’s on the wall)
(When the writing’s on the wall)
(When the writing’s on the wall)
Fade into this waking dream
As darkness falls
On our own, it’s you and me baby
When the writing’s on the wall
Lost inside the Datastream
Under nightfall
On our own, it’s you and me baby
When the writing’s on the wall
When the writing’s on the wall
When the writing’s on the wall

The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong lessons
Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow, less shallow
But I say, why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life
Dancing through life, skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless for the brainless
Why think too hard when it's so soothing?
Dancing through life, no need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters
It's just life, so keep dancing through
Dancing through life, swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught-less when you're thoughtless
Those who don't try never look foolish
Dancing through life, mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting, blows are glancing
When you're dancing through life
So—what's the most swankified place in town?
[GALINDA]
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom
[FIYERO]
Sounds perfect
Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance 'til it's light
Find the prettiest girl, give her a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on, follow me
You'll be happy to be there
[ALL]
Dancing through life down at the Ozdust
[FIYERO]
If only because dust is what we come to
[ALL]
Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters
It's just life
[FIYERO]
So keep dancing through
[BOQ]
M-Miss Galinda
I hope you'll save at least one dance for me
I'll be right there waiting, all night
[GALINDA]
Oh, that's so kind
But you know what would be even kinder?
See that tragically beautiful girl?
The one in the chair?
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree and not she
Gee! I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were to go invite her
[BOQ]
Well, maybe... I could invite her!
[GALINDA]
Oh, Biq, really?
You would do that for me?
[BOQ,]
I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda
[GALINDA]
So...
[FIYERO]
So I'll be picking you up around eight?
[GALINDA]
After all—
Now that we've met one another
[FIYERO & GALINDA]
It's clear we deserve each other
[GALINDA]
You're perfect
[FIYERO]
You're perfect
[FIYERO & GALINDA]
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever
Dancing through life
[NESSAROSE]
Oh, Elphaba, isn't it wonderful?
Finally, for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her to repay her
Elphaba, see?
We deserve each other
And Galinda helped it come true
We deserve each other, me and Boq
Please, Elphaba try to understand
[ELPHABA]
I do
Galinda, listen
Nessa and I were talking about you just now
[GALINDA]
And I was just talking about you!
I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!
It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think?
You know black is this year's pink
You deserve each other, this hat and you
You're both so smart
You deserve each other
So here, out of the goodness of my heart
[BOQ]
Listen, Nessa?
[NESSAROSE]
Yes?
[BOQ]
Uh, Nessa
I've got something to confess, a
Reason why, well...
Why I asked you here tonight
Now I know it isn't fair
[NESSAROSE]
Oh, Boq, I know why
[BOQ]
You do?
[NESSAROSE]
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well, isn't that right?
[BOQ]
No! No! It's because, uh, because
Because you are so beautiful!
[NESSAROSE]
Oh, Boq, I think you're wonderful!
And we deserve each other
Don't you see, this is our chance?
We deserve each other
Don't we, Boq?
[BOQ]
You know what?
Let's dance
[NESSAROSE]
What?!
[BOQ, sung]
Let's dance!
[ALL]
Dancing through life down at the Ozdust
If only because dust is what we come to!
And the strange thing, your life could end up changing
While you're dancing through!

Kyle Neal - Golden Shore
Tell the priest there's nothing you can say or do.
Say your heart's been promised to the ocean blue.
All your gray won't keep you safe from what's in store.
As your journey out toward celestial shores.Bless the crimson sky laid out before the night.
Bless the sturdy sails and may they aid your flight.
Far away from all that does torment your soul
Far away from all that made your skin grow coldThere before you stretched upon a Golden shore
Stands the Emerald city and the Gates of Lore
There their guardian stands with his eternal book
And the names of all those who one day won't lookOn the face of him who did create the skies
On the face of him with whom eternity lies
Take a step now brother look him in the eyes
And discover where here your eternity lies

I wish you wellAnd the auld triangle went jingle jangle
On the Royal Canal

Deportees - That Was A Feeling, This Is A Fact
This must be your frontier
Everything's a war here
It has been a good year for you and your kind
You talk about the times when you were still the captain
When we weren't trapped in this room with no viewEveryone's a church now
Everyone's so hurt now
They all got their high brows
You've seen it yourself
It is getting darker
Baby, it's not dark yet
We're staring at the sunset
Your hand in mineThat was the feeling
This is a fact
I tried to be humble
But this time I can'tYou shouted from your chamber
Everyone's in danger
Everyone's a stranger
It's louder than bombs
The things that you believe in
That's a role you sleep in
The only one who's speaking
Some kind of truthYou are getting sicker
Walls are getting thicker
Light is but a flicker
Flame in the night
It is getting darker
Baby, it's not darker
Staring at the sunset
Your hand in mineThat was a feeling
This is a fact
I tried to be humble
But this time I can'tThat was a feeling
This is a fact
I'm taking you to school
I'm taking you backEverything is changing
You repeat the same thing
Everything is changing
You repeat the same thing
It is getting darker
Baby, it's not darker
Staring at the sunset
Your hand in mineYour hand in mine
Your hand in mine
Your hand in mine
Your hand in mine
Your hand in mine
