The Dream Syndicate, "Boston" (1986):



In the morning when I wake up, I don't like what I see,
And late at night, my dreams they are terrifying me.

Well, I was walking by the river in the early morning dew,
Singing out lines from "Cyprus Avenue."
I wonder what it felt like when it all came down;
Come back to Boston before I hit the ground.
 


Dangerous​

So take them off
The blinders that cover your eyes
Don't break new ground
Just follow the beaten path
Well, all I can do in the end
Is bury it in the cellar
And only a fool would pretend
To blame it on the weather
It's so dangerous
All this blamelessness
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known
It's so dangerous
All this shamelessness
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah
Now take them down
The roses you smothered, they died
I hear the cries
Of souls you have eaten since
We all must revere and defend
The fortune of the teller
We all must subdue and suspend
Belief that this gets better
It's so dangerous
All this blamelessness
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known
It's so dangerous
All this shamelessness
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah
Please, just say you know you won't be satisfied
Not unless you know your name is verified
God, I hope you choke on hate and stomach bile
Even as you sing the praise of feticide
Please, just say you know you won't be satisfied
Not unless you know your name is verified
God, I hope you choke on hate and stomach bile
Even as you sing the praise of feticide
It's so dangerous
All this blamelessness
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known
It's so dangerous
All this shamelessness
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known, yeah
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah
 


Across the street, you're a repeat offender
You're off to meet another candy vendor
They say your song is, "Hey, big spender"
If that's so, then I'm no contender
But your face is as white as a flag of surrender

And I can only shoot from one position
Otherwise I might explode
I don't have the kind of ammunition
You intend to load

All I wanna be is your clean needle
Wipe me off before you tie
All I wanna be is your clean needle
Keep you safe and high

The broken door swings on a hundred hinges
There's many more abusers than syringes
Sharing spears with another huntress
Laying tracks in a state of undress
You've had your lovers, well, now you'll have one less

And all I ever read was one edition
Now those terms have been revised
I thought I was on a routine mission
To keep you sterilized

All I wanna be is your clean needle
Wipe me off before you tie
All I wanna be is your clean needle
Keep you safe and high

And all I wanna make is one addition
To a list of things you need
Tell me how a girl in your condition
Finds the strength to bleed

All I wanna be is your clean needle
Wipe me off before you tie
All I wanna be is your clean needle
Keep you safe and high
Keep you safe and high
Keep you safe and high

feeling lonely



Are you tryna say you're willin’?
Are you tryna say you get it?
You know there's a way to this, way to this
Please don't play no games with this, OK?
Gotta hold your weight in this, weight in this
Everything we have it just be so, uh
And I’m tryin to save it

Seems like lately we've fallen all the way down
It don't feel the same now
If you're tryin to save it
I've been mistaken
'Cause nothin's changing
My heart is breaking

Love don't have to be so hard
So, tell me, how’d we get this far?
Love don’t have to be so hard
Let down your guard

If I'm being honest babe
I’ve been standing right here with you
A nigga been down since day one
If they ain't, shit you got a screw loose
If I'm been honest babe (If I'm being honest)
I don’t really care for things like
Pressin', no extras, no testin' me, please
If I'm not good enough
Scoodadoo-bop-bop
That's just our luck
Tears dripping down your socks
No more wasting time now
If you with it, just be with it
'Cause it's fortunate that we go through shit now
Everything's goin' to be like this, baby

Love don't have to be so hard
So, tell me, how'd we get this far?
Love don't have to be so hard
Let down your guard
Let down your guard
Let down your guard
 
Phil Lynott, "Ode to Liberty (Protest Song)" [1982] {featuring Mark Knopfler on guitar}



And that's why I can't relax:
'Cause inside my coat, it's a pistol that I pack.

"We must beware of surprise nuclear attack.
We must be ready to strike back.
I'm not pretending:
Our defenses, they need mending.
We must keep on...spending!"
Forget the Third World is ending,
Is starving, is crying, is desolate,
It's oh-so late.

I would dearly love to return
Through a mirror in twenty years
And learn what the future has in store for us.
And if I learned that we lost
And there was no hope
For those that think,
I would turn to drink.
And drink is drugs,
And drugs would help me sink.

And like a boat, I'd float;
Sail out to the sky,
To the universe and back –
Maybe to give it another try.
I don't know why, why, Jack.
Just to go further and farther;
Just to learn; just to be nearer.
 
Richard & Linda Thompson, "Withered & Died" (1975):



Silver moon sail up and silver moon shine,
On the waters so wide, waters so wide.
Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine;
My dreams are withered and died.

If I was a butterfly, live for a day,
I could be free, just blowing away.

This cruel country has driven me down,
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied.
I've only sad stories to tell to this town;
My dreams have withered and died.
 


Sometimes I wonder what exactly is it you want me to know.
Sometimes I wonder where exactly is it you want me to go.

I've heard you talking about me – and every word of it's true!
I know I've made you unhappy – so you've got nothing to prove!

Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself,
Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself.

Your mother thinks I'm a nancy
And your father thinks I'm a fool.
 


George Harrison theme to the movie Time Bandits

Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

Midnight sunshine silent thunder
Sky as black as day
Only a dream away

[Chorus]

Waking while you're still deep sleeping
Finding you're not here
Watching a dream appear

Tumbling through a thousand centuries
You don't know where you'll land
It's so dark in mythology
Treasures of history to be found, near the legends of time
All the handiworks remain there, only a dream away.....
