3/28 thru 4/1

“And sometimes Bass even rhymes.” ~Hank Longfellow

Dephying the Laws of Physics Page on Amazon

JetBlue jumping off runway nine
Climbing east on the last red-eye
One mind’s crossed, another dreams
But nothing’s ever as it seems

Lightning spikes the midnight sky
A heartland pierced with a hundred lies
Thunder feared but never heard
Our feelings tossed in a gale of words

Sometimes right, often wrong
Often lost, but sometimes found
We fell in love and fell out again

Wings without wind,
Love without sin
Never looking back behind
Racing down the centerline

Airbus floats into a misty dawn
A final approach to a coming down
Boston harbor blooms into view
Three thousand miles away from you.

Sometimes right, often wrong
Often lost, but sometimes found
We fell in love and fell out again

Wings without wind,
Love without sin
Never looking back behind
Racing down the centerline

JetBlue jumping off runway nine
Climbing east on the last red-eye
One mind’s crossed, another dreams
But nothing’s ever as it seems

Lightning spikes the midnight sky
A heartland pierced with a hundred lies
Thunder feared but never heard
Our feelings tossed in a gale of words

Sometimes right, often wrong
Often lost, but sometimes found
We fell in love and fell out again

Wings without wind,
Love without sin
Never looking back behind
Racing down the centerline

Airbus floats into a misty dawn
A final approach to a coming down
Boston harbor blooms into view
Three thousand miles away from you.

Sometimes right, often wrong
Often lost, but sometimes found
We fell in love and fell out again

Wings without wind,
Love without sin
Never looking back behind
Racing down the centerline

Kiss – Detroit Rock City – Live In Detroit, USA – 1984

January 20, 2021 Leave a comment

I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o’ clock, the radio’s the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to

Get up
Everybody’s gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody’s gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up
Everybody’s gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody’s gonna leave their seat

Getting late
I just can’t wait
Ten o’clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show

Get up
Everybody’s gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody’s gonna leave their seat

Movin’ fast, doin’ 95
Hit top speed but I’m still movin’ much too slow
I feel so good, I’m so alive
I hear my song playin’ on the radio
It goes

Get up
Everybody’s gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody’s gonna leave their seat

You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Twelve o’clock, I gotta rock
There’s a truck ahead, lights starin’ at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh ’cause I know I’m gonna die
Why

Get up
Everybody’s gonna move their feet
Get down

Get up
Everybody’s gonna move their feet
Get down

Trace Adkins – “I Left Something Turned On At Home” [Live from Austin, TX]

January 13, 2021 Leave a comment
Well boys I hate to leave good company
But my baby just called me on the phone
And from the sound of her voice, I simply have no choice
I left something turned on at home

Well I just put a quarter in the jukebox
And it ain't halfway through my favorite song
But if I don't leave right now my whole place might burn down
'Cause I left something turned on at home

It ain't the stove, it ain't the heater
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter
And all day long she's been there alone
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin'
'Cause I left something turned on at home

Hey waitress could you cancel that order
But if it's too late I'll take it to go
Boys I gotta run 'fore somebody calls 911
'Cause I left something turned on at home

It ain't the stove, it ain't the heater
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter
And all day long she's been there alone
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin'
'Cause I left something turned on at home

Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin'
'Cause I left something turned on at home
Yeah I left something turned on at home

Mountain – Theme For An Imaginary Western – Cincinnati Pop Festival – 13/June/70

December 30, 2020 Leave a comment

When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagon of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone

Sometimes travelin’ through the darkness
At the summer comin’ home
Foreign faces by the wayside
Look as if they hadn’t known

All the sand was in their eyes
And the desert that’s dry
In the country town
Where the life was found

Oh, the dancing and the singing
Oh, the music when they play
Oh, the fire that they saw there
On the grave of no return

Sometimes they found it
Sometimes they kept it
Often lost it on the way
Pawnee shadow to possess him
Sometimes ride inside of day

Oh, the sand was in their eyes
And the desert that’s dry
In this country town
Where the map was found

Oh, the sand was in their eye
And the desert that’s dry
In this country town
Where the wagons bound

The Human League – Fascination HD (Live – 2011)

December 24, 2020 Leave a comment

If it seems a little time is needed
Decisions to be made
The good advice of friends unheeded
For the best of plans mislaid

Just looking for a new direction
In an old familiar way
The forming of a new connection
To study or to play

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day

Keep feeling fascination
Passion burning, love so strong
Keep feeling fascination
Looking, learning, moving on

Well, the truth may need some rearranging
Stories to be told
And plain to see the facts are changing
No meaning left to hold

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day

Keep feeling fascination
Passion burning, love so strong
Keep feeling fascination
Looking, learning, moving on

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day

Keep feeling fascination
Passion burning, love so strong
Keep feeling fascination
Looking, learning, moving on

Keep feeling fascination
Passion burning, love so strong
Keep feeling fascination
Looking, learning, moving on

Keep feeling fascination
Passion burning, love so strong
Keep feeling fascination
Looking, learning, moving on

[HD] Pearl Jam – Black [Pinkpop 1992]

December 23, 2020 Leave a comment

Hey… oooh…

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…

I take a walk outside, I’m surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I’m spinning, oh
I’m spinning, how quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I’ll be… yeah…

Uh huh… uh huh… ooh…

I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky
But why, why, why can’t it be, can’t it be mine?

Ooh why, ooh

Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]

Cheap Trick – Dream Police – live Daytona 1988

December 22, 2020 Leave a comment

The dream police, they live inside of my head
The dream police, they come to me in my bed
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh no!

You know that talk is cheap
And those rumors ain’t nice
And when I fall asleep
I don’t think I’ll survive the night, the night

‘Cause they’re waiting for me!
They’re looking for me!
Every single night they’re driving me insane
Those men inside my brain!

The dream police, they live inside of my head
(Live inside of my head)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed
(Come to me in my bed)
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh no!

Well, I can’t tell lies
‘Cause they’re listening to me
And when I fall asleep
Bet they’re spying on me tonight, tonight

‘Cause they’re waiting for me!
They’re looking for me!
Every single night they’re driving me insane
Those men inside my brain!

I try to sleep, they’re wide awake, they won’t let me alone!
They don’t get paid to take vacations or let me alone!
They spy on me, I try to hide, they won’t let me alone!
They persecute me, they’re the judge and jury all in one – Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

‘Cause they’re waiting for me!
They’re looking for me!
Every single night they’re driving me insane
Those men inside my brain!

The dream police, they live inside of my head!
(Live inside of my head!)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed!
(Come to me in my bed!)
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me!
The dream police
(Police, police)
The dream police
(Police, police)
The dream police
(Police, police)
The dream police
(Police, police)
The dream police
(Police, police)
The dream police
(Police, police)
The dream police
(Police, police)
