I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell - 1967 |
You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you. |
Okay...just one more:
"You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain.
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain.
Waste your summer prayin' in vain for a savior to rise from these streets." |

Invest your son
But I'd rather have my country die for me

More Bob Dylan:
"For those who defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the mind most bitterly
For those that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally,
Life sometimes must get lonely." |

and King Crimson's Epitaph:
"When everyman is torn apart,
with nightmares and with dreams,
will no one lay the laurel wreath
as silence drowns the screams..
Confusion will be my epitaph,
as I crawl a cracked and broken path,
if we make it, we can all sit back and laugh,
but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying" |

The sign said 'no long hairs need apply'. So I tucked my hair up under my hat and went in to ask him why.

"I saw a pearl of wisdom
in the spirit of a man,
as he saved the day he lost.

Never give a day away.

Nothing can last
there are no second chances.
Never give a day away.
Always live for today."
