Yes, I've had a skin full and am feeling mightily sentimental and empathic, but let's have your favourite songs, or just parts of the lyrics that speak to you .....

Okey dokey.

"HIC"

"The Answer" by Bad Religion

Long ago in a dusty village
Full of hunger, pain and strife
A man came forth with a vision of truth
And the way to a better life
He was convinced he had the answer
And he compelled people to follow along
But the hunger never vanished
And the man was banished
And the village dried up and died

At a time when wise men peered
Through brass tubes towards the sky
The heavans changed in predictable ways
And one man was able to find
That he had thought he found he answer
And he was quick to write his revelations
But as they were scrutinized
In his collegues' eyes
He soon became a mockery

Don't tell me about the answer
'Cos then another one will come along soon
I don't believe you have the answer
I've got ideas too
But if you've got enough naivety
And you've got conviction
Then the answer is perfect for you

An urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge
Overwhelmed by industry
Searching for a modern day saviour from another place
Inclined toward charity
Everyone begging for an answer
Without regard to validity
The searching never ends
It goes on and on
And on for eternity

Don't tell me about the answer
'Cos then another one will come along soon
I don't believe you have the answer
I've got ideas too
But if you've got enough naivety
And you've got conviction
Then the answer is perfect for you

The answer is perfect for you

Genesis - Jesus He Knows Me
Do you see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday
See the face on the billboard
That man is me

On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You get a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
Don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

Cos Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright

I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night

Do you believe in God
Cos that is what I'm selling
And if you wanna go to heaven
I'll see you right

You won't even have to leave your house
Or get out of your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
Cos I'm everywhere

And Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright

You won't find me practising what I'm preaching
Won't find me making no sacrifice
But I get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Just do as I say, don't do as I do

I'm counting my blessings
I've found true happiness
Cos I'm getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away

There'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying
If wanna get closer to him
Get on your knees and start praying

Cos Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright

Crush 40- What I'm Made Of

I care to what your thinking as you turn to me
Cuz what I have in my two hands is enough to set me free (set me free)

I can fight the feelin' to resist it all the time
But when its just too much to take you sneak up from behind

Is it me? You say, you're looking for?
Let me show you who I am and what I'm here for (here for)

Heaaay!

Try to reach inside of me!
Try to take my energy!

Let me show you just what I'm made of
Simple curiosity, trying to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of now...

Like a million faces, I've reckonized them all
And one by one they've all become a number as they fall (as they fall)

In the face of reason, I can take no more
One by one they've all become the black mark on the floor

Is it me? You say, you're looking for?
Let me show you who I am and what I have in store (in store)
Hey! Hey! Yeah!

Try to reach inside of me!
Try to take my energy!

Let me show you just what I'm made of
Simple curiosity, trying to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of now...

You can take another life-long try
You can take another try!

Yeaaah!

Try to reach inside of me!
Try to take my energy!

Let me show you just what I'm made of
Simple curiosity, trying to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of now...

Century of Fakers - Belle & Sebastian

There are people going hungry every day
They’ve got nothing on their plates
And you’re filling your fat face with every different kind of cake
And if you ever go lardy, or go lame
I will drop you straight away
That’s the price you have to pay
For every stupid thing you say

There are people going lonely, and they’ll stay
Lonely fay into the year
Because you’re making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably you’ll say
All is equal in love and war and
I’m sorry, but I’ve got some things to do
And you pretend to read a book you’ll never finish till the day

That the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
They took your mould and they burned it on the fire in history today
Yeah, the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
He was an anarchist, he tried his best but it wasn’t good enough

Did I say I would see you soon?
Well I’m sorry, but I just came off my bike
And my face is scarred
And chance has barred me seeing you tonight
I was over the other side of the city
And if the truth be known I’d say
That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today

Everybody’s trying to make us
Another century of fakers
They took you mould and burned it on the fire of history today
Everybody’s trying to make us
Another cool decade of fakers
Another century of fakers

"Now You're A Man" by D.V.D.A.

You are now a mahwn!
You're a mahwn!
Now you're a mahwn!

What makes a man, is s**t the woman in his arms?
Just 'cos she has big t*tties?
Or is s**t the way he fights every day?
No s**t's probably the t*tties

Now you're a mahwn!
A mahwn, mahwn, mahwn
Now you're a mahwn mahwn!
Mahwn, mahwn, mahwn, mahwn, mahwn!

"What Would Brian Bos**tano Do?" by D.V.D.A.

Brian! Skate!
Brian! Skate!
Brian! Fight!
Brian! Skate!

What would Brian Bos**tano do if he was here right now?
He'd make a plan and he'd follow through
That's what Brian Bos**tano'd do

Brian! Skate!
Brian! Fight!

When Brian Bos**tano was in the Olympics skating for the gold
He did two sow-cows and a triple lutz wearing a blindfold
And when Brian Bos**tano was in the Alps fighting grizzly bears
He used his magical fire breath and saved the maidens fare

Brian! Skate!
Brian! Hey!

So what would Brian Bos**tano do if he was here today?
I'm sure he'd kick an a*se or two
That's what Brian Bos**tano'd do

Brian! Skate!
Brian! Hey!

When Brian Bos**tano travelled through time to the year 3010
He beat the evil robot king and saved us all again
And when Brian Bos**tano built the Pyramids he beat up Kubla Kuhn
'Cos Brian Bos**tano doesn't take s*s**t from an-y-bo-dy

(No Brian! Those chicken wings are really spicy, don't eat those!)

I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings
I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings
I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings
I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings
I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings
I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings
I've never seen a man eat so many chicken wings

Brian! Skate!
Brian! Fight!

Brian Bos**tano was born on the planet of Gryluck
He came to Earth to save us all from boring things that suck
Hi-de ho-de hi-de hey! Brian Bos**tano's here
So round up all your lasses and tell them to have no fear
Say "Come over here my honey
I'm gonna take off my pants
And I'm gonna make dirty love to you
'Cos that's what Brian Bos**tano'd do!"

'Cos that's what Brian Bos**tano'd do

Don't Break My Heart by UB40

You shoot me down in flames
you put me down a lot

I'm giving you my heart
go on
take it.
Please be careful not to break it
just remember:
It's the only one I've got
it's the only one I've got.
Don't break my heart - don't break my heart -
don't break my heart.

You make me laugh a lot and buy me silly things.
And I'd rather be with you than anyone else.
But if you make me mad
but if you make me mad

You'll wish that you had not
you'll wish that you had not.
Don't break my heart - don't break my heart -
don't break my heart.

Where are the roses and whispered sighs?
Where are the compliments and dreaming eyes?
It doesn't matter you see
I know you love me;
Real basic love never dies.
Don't break my heart - don't break my heart -
don't break my heart.

Where are the roses and whispered sighs? . . .
Don't break my heart - don't break my heart -
don't break my heart

"Montage" by Trey Parker

Hey!

The hour's approaching to give it your best
And you've got to reach your prime
That's when you need to put yourself to the test
And show us a passage of time

We're gonna need a montage
(Montage!)
Ooooh, it takes a montage
(Montage!)

Show lots of things happening at once
Remind everyone what's going on
And with every shot show a little improvement
To show it'd only take too long

That's called a montage
(Montage!)
Ooooh, we wanna montage
(Montage!)

In anything if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage
(Montage!)
Even Rocky had a montage
(Montage!)

(Montage!)

(Montage!)

In anything if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage
(Montage!)
Ooooh, it takes a montage
(Montage!)

Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out it seems like more time has passed in a montage
Ooooh, montage

[I]I'll tell you a story, but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare, steeped in tradition,
It's the story of a coked-up pansy,
Who spent his night in flights of fancy.

He met two fellas over gin and mixers,
They talked for a while a soon got the picture,
One was a soaked-up Soho mincer,
The other was a pikey with a knowledge of scripture.

The conversation turned evil
...
They talked about people.
Why did you do it to so many?

Really like these, but they're probably not my faves, I just can't think at the moment.


Tight Connection to My Heart (Has Anybody Seen my Love?)

Bob Dylan


Well, I had to move fast
And I couldn't with you around my neck.
I said I'd send for you and I did
What did you expect?
My hands are sweating
And we haven't even started yet.
I'll go along with the charade
Until I can think my way out.
I know it was all a big joke
Whatever it was about.
Someday maybe
I'll remember to forget.

I'm gonna get my coat,
I feel the breath of a storm.
There's something I've got to do tonight,
You go inside and stay warm.

Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love.
I don't know,
Has anybody seen my love?

You want to talk to me,
Go ahead and talk.
Whatever you got to say to me
Won't come as any shock.
I must be guilty of something,
You just whisper it into my ear.
Madame Butterfly
She lulled me to sleep,
In a town without pity
Where the water runs deep.
She said, "Be easy, baby,
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."

You're the one I've been looking for,
You're the one that's got the key.
But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you
Or you're too good for me.

Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love.
I don't know,
Has anybody seen my love?

Well, they're not showing any lights tonight
And there's no moon.
There's just a hot-blooded singer
Singing "Memphis in June,"
While they're beatin' the devil out of a guy
Who's wearing a powder-blue wig.
Later he'll be shot
For resisting arrest,
I can still hear his voice crying
In the wilderness.
What looks large from a distance,
Close up ain't never that big.

Never could learn to drink that blood
And call it wine,
Never could learn to hold you, love,
And call you mine.
