    dreamer- ozzy osbourne

    Gazing through the window at the world outside
    Wondering if mother earth will survive
    Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

    After all there’s just the two of us
    And here we are still fighting for our lives
    Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

    I’m just a dreamer, I dream my life away
    I’m just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

    I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
    I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
    A better place for those who will come after us this time

    I’m just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah
    I’m just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

    Your higher power may be God or jesus christ
    It doesn’t really matter much to me
    Without each other’s help there ain’t no hope for us
    I’m living in a dream, a fantasy
    Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

    If only we could just find serenity
    It would be nice if we could live as one
    When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

    I’m just a dreamer, I dream my life away, today
    I’m just a dreamer, who dreams of better days, ok
    I’m just a dreamer, who’s searching for the way, today
    I’m just a dreamer, dreaming my life away
    Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

    dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes
    reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis

    searchlight casting, for faults in the clouds of delusion
    shall we go, you and I while we can?
    through the transitive nightfall of diamonds

    mirror shatters, in formless reflections of matter
    glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving

    lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye
    shall we go, you and I while we can?
    through the transitive nightfall of diamonds

    Sometimes we live no particular way
    But our own
    Sometimes we visit your country
    And live in your home
    Sometimes we ride on your horses
    Sometimes we walk alone
    Sometimes the songs that we hear
    are just songs of our own
    Eyes of the world-Grateful Dead


    But if it could remain within a frame
    like a painting on the wall
    Than I think we'd see the beauty
    and we'd stand staring in awe
    at our still lives posed
    Like a bowl of oranges
    Like a story told by the fault lines
    In the soil
    Bowl of Oranges-Bright Eyes

    I only got the sunny hours
    Brightest hours of day
    Never got the gloomy hours
    Let them slip away
    And I realise I'm away

    - LBDAS "Sunny Hours"

    I AM ANTIPOP
    I'LL RUN AGAINST THE GRAIN 'TILL THE DAY I STOP
    I AM THE ANTIPOP
    THE MAN YOU CANNOT STOP!

    -Primus "Antipop"

    I use the Force because I am a Jedi

    - Slightly Stoopid "Jedi"

    And he said (snort) "Be You Angels?"
    And we said, "Nay! We Are But Men"
    ROCK!

    - Tenacious D "Tribute"

    Deep Purple: Child In Time

    Sweet child in time you'll see the line
    The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
    See the blind man shooting at the world
    Bullets flying taking toll
    If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
    And you've been hit by flying lead
    You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
    And wait for the ricochet

    Joan Baez:

    Show me the country
    Where the bombs had to fall,
    Show me the ruins
    Of the buildings once so tall,
    And I'll show you a young land
    With so many reasons why,
    There but for fortune
    Go you and I.

    all from the doors:

    CRYSTAL SHIP
    Before you slip into unconsciousness
    I'd like to have another kiss
    Another flashing chance at bliss
    Another kiss, another kiss

    The days are bright and filled with pain
    Enclose me in your gentle rain
    The time you ran was too insane
    We'll meet again, we'll meet again

    Oh tell me where your freedom lies
    The streets are fields that never die
    Deliver me from reasons why
    You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

    The crystal ship is being filled
    A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
    A million ways to spend your time
    When we get back, I'll drop a line



    SOUL KITCHEN
    Well, the clock says it's time to close now
    I guess I'd better go now
    I'd really like to stay here all night
    The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
    Street lights share their hollow glow
    Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
    Still one place to go
    Still one place to go

    Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
    Warm my mind near your gentle stove
    Turn me out and I'll wander baby
    Stumblin' in the neon groves

    Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
    Speak in secret alphabets
    I light another cigarette
    Learn to forget, learn to forget
    Learn to forget, learn to forget

    Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
    Warm my mind near your gentle stove
    Turn me out and I'll wander baby
    Stumblin' in the neon groves

    Well the clock says it's time to close now
    I know I have to go now
    I really want to stay here
    All night, all night, all night



    TAKE IT AS IT COMES
    Time to live
    Time to lie
    Time to laugh
    Time to die

    Takes it easy, baby
    Take it as it comes
    Don't move too fast
    And you want your love to last
    Oh, you've been movin' much too fast

    Time to walk
    Time to run
    Time to aim your arrows
    At the sun

    Takes it easy, baby
    Take it as it comes
    Don't move too fast
    And you want your love to last
    Oh, you've been movin' much too fast

    Go real slow
    You like it more and more
    Take it as it comes
    Specialize in havin' fun

    Takes it easy, baby
    Take it as it comes
    Don't move too fast
    And you want your love to last
    Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
    Movin' much too fast
    Movin' much too fast


    THE END
    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    I'll never look into your eyes...again

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
    In a...desperate land

    Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
    And all the children are insane
    All the children are insane
    Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

    There's danger on the edge of town
    Ride the King's highway, baby
    Weird scenes inside the gold mine
    Ride the highway west, baby

    Ride the snake, ride the snake
    To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
    The snake is long, seven miles
    Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

    The west is the best
    The west is the best
    Get here, and we'll do the rest

    The blue bus is callin' us
    The blue bus is callin' us
    Driver, where you taken' us

    The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
    He took a face from the ancient gallery
    And he walked on down the hall
    He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
    Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
    He walked on down the hall, and
    And he came to a door...and he looked inside
    Father, yes son, I want to kill you
    Mother...I want to...fuck you

    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    And meet me at the back of the blue bus
    Doin' a blue rock
    On a blue bus
    Doin' a blue rock
    C'mon, yeah

    Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    It hurts to set you free
    But you'll never follow me
    The end of laughter and soft lies
    The end of nights we tried to die

    This is the end

    L.A. WOMAN
    Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
    Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
    Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

    Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
    Or just another lost angel...City of Night
    City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo, c'mon

    L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
    L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
    L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
    L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
    Drive thru your suburbs
    Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
    Into your blue-blue Blues
    Into your blues, ohh, yeah

    I see your hair is burnin'
    Hills are filled with fire
    If they say I never loved you
    You know they are a liar
    Drivin' down your freeways
    Midnite alleys roam
    Cops in cars, the topless bars
    Never saw a woman...
    So alone, so alone
    So alone, so alone

    Motel Money Murder Madness
    Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

    Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
    Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
    Got to keep on risin'
    Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
    Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'
    Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'
    Risin', risin'

    I'm gone risin', risin'
    I gotta risin', risin'
    Well, risin', risin'
    I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
    Woah, ohh yeah

    Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
    Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
    Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

    Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
    Or just another lost angel...City of Night
    City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woah, c'mon

    L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
    L.A. Woman, your my woman
    Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman
    L.A. L.A. Woman Woman
    L.A. Woman c'mon

    To trade some beads for a pint of gold
    I took a trip down to L'America
    To trade some beads for a pint of gold
    L'America, L'America, L'America
    L'America, L'America, L'America

    You know the rain man's comin' ta town

    And then he'll teach ya how ta...find yourself
    L'America

    Friendly strangers came to town
    All the people put them down
    But, the women loved their ways
    Come again some other day
    Like the gentle rain
    Like the gentle rain that falls

    I took a trip down to L'America
    To trade some beads for a pint of gold
    I took a trip down to L'America
    To trade some beads for a pint of gold
    L'America, L'America, L'America
    L'America, L'America, L'America
    L'America




    THE WASP (TEXAS RADIO AND THE BIG BEAT)
    I wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
    Comes out of the Virginia swamps
    Cool and slow with plenty of precision
    With a back beat narrow and hard to master

    Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance
    Others, mean and ruthful of the Western dream
    I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
    We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
    This is the land where the Pharaoh died

    The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
    They are saying, "Forget the night.
    Live with us in forests of azure.
    Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
    Out here we is stoned - immaculate."

    Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
    I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the lose of God
    I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
    The meager food for souls forgot
    I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul

    I'll tell you this
    No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

    I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
    Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language

    Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
    I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio
    I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
    Wandering the Western dream
    Tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul



    RIDERS ON THE STORM
    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Into this house we're born
    Into this world we're thrown
    Like a dog without a bone
    An actor out alone
    Riders on the storm

    There's a killer on the road
    His brain is squirmin' like a toad
    Take a long holiday
    Let your children play
    If ya give this man a ride
    Sweet memory will die
    Killer on the road, yeah

    Girl ya gotta love your man
    Girl ya gotta love your man
    Take him by the hand
    Make him understand
    The world on you depends
    Our life will never end
    Gotta love your man, yeah

    Wow!

    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Into this house we're born
    Into this world we're thrown
    Like a dog without a bone
    An actor out alone
    Riders on the storm

    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm

    One of my favourite songs of all time, by Donovan:

    The Ballad of a Crystal Man

    Walk along and talk along
    And live your lives quite freely,
    But leave our children with their toys
    Of peppermint and candy,
    For seagull I don't want your wings,
    I don't want your freedom in a lie.

    Your thoughts they are of harlequin,
    Your speech is of quicksilver,
    I read your faces like a poem,
    Kaleidoscope of hate word,
    For seagull I don't want your wings,
    I don't want your freedom in a lie.

    On the quilted battlefield
    Of soldiers dazzling, made of toy tin,
    The big bomb like a child's hand
    Could sweep them dead just so to win,
    For seagull I don't want your wings,
    I don't want your freedom in a lie.

    As you fill your glasses
    With the wine of murdered negroes,
    Think you not of beauty
    That spreads like morning sunglow,
    For seagull I don't want your wings,
    I don't want your freedom in a lie.

    I pray your dreams are vivid screams
    Of children dying slowly,
    And as you polish up your guns
    Your real self be reflected,
    For seagull I don't want your wings,
    I don't want your freedom in a lie.

    Vietnam your latest game
    You're playing with your blackest queen,
    Damn your souls and curse your grins,
    I stand here with a fading dream,
    For seagull I don't want your wings,
    I don't want your freedom in a lie.
