Music you are listening to now

April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away
Still falls the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And you can't tell me quite why
As i look up to the grey sky
Where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know

Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile
But then the feeling comes again of an April without end
Of an April lonely as they come
In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine
But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
And the springtime's the season of the night

Grey sky where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
I don't know

(I was born in April)

You didn't try to call me, why didn't you try?
I'm so lonely
No matter who I take home, I keep calling your name
And you, (I need you so bad) you're the one babe

Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now
'Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call
And you didn't try to call me

Why didn't you try, I'm so lonely
No matter who I take home, I keep calling your name
And you, (I need you so bad) You're the one babe

Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now
'Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call

I can't say what's wrong or what's right
La la-la-la la, la la-la-la la
All you've gotta do-do-do is call me babe
La la-la-la la, la la-la-la la

You make me feel so excited girl
I got so hung up on you from the moment that we met
That no matter how I try, I can't keep the tears
From running down my face
I'm all alone at my place

You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me at all . . . (didja, buddy?) didja?
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me at all . . . didja?
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me at all . . . didja?
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me at all . . . or didja?

A rarity

[CalmRage]

I'm gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
Well, I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold, hey

That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I'm finally going mad. I should've been born Sara, but i don't even like many feminine things. I just know and i just feel. I'm living the wrong life in the wrong body. I was wondering about androgyne and genderqueer and genderfluid, but so far always came back worse for the wear. Help, am i just confused!

One thing helps: Screaming along to Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin

[CalmRage]

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin', that's all you seem to do
Messin' around, every guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same, playin' your game
Drive me insane, trouble's gonna come to you
One of these days, and it won't be long
You'll look for me, but, baby, I'll be gone

This is all I gotta say to ya, woman
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come

Made up my mind, break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do what you want, I won't take the brunt
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore
Don't care what you say, 'cause I'm goin' away to stay
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talkin' all around
Watch out, woman, no longer is the joke gonna be on my heart

You been bad to me, woman, but it's comin' back home to you
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come, bye, bye-bye, baby
Your time is gonna come, Bye, bye. Bye, bye.
Your time is gonna come, See you my babe.
Your time is gonna come, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Your time is gonna come, Bye, bye. Bye, bye. Bye, bye.
Your time is gonna come, I gotta get away from here.
Your time is gonna come, goodbye, my baby
Your time

Hey, fellas, have ya heard the news
Ya know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
All the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new but the face the same as it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile like of the one who knows

Well, it's been ten years or maybe more
Since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love
But I'll just keep on rollin' along
With the grace from the Lord above

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at
One thing I do have on my mind
If you could clarify, please do
It's the way you call me another guy's name
When I try to make love to you, yeah
I try to make love, it ain't no use
Give it to me, give it

Mm, worked so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved
Abuse my love a thousand times however hard I tried
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way
Go away you heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heart

[CalmRage]

Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on
The show must go on - yeah
Ooh inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Yeah, oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends

The show must go on - yeah
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show

The show must go on, go on, go on, go on, ...

Hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

These executives have plooked the fsck out of me
And there's still a long time to go before I've
Paid my debt to society
And all I ever really wanted to do was
Play the guitar 'n bend the string like
Reent-toont-teent-toont-teent-toont-teenooneenoonee

I've got it
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll lay on my back here 'til dawn
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An executive kinda guy . . .

Well, I guess that one did the trick
If they only coulda heard it
Half-a-dozen of 'em woulda strangled
While they was suckin' on each other's dlck
But that was only a bunch of imaginary
Notes I played
Just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin' from day to day
That's okay
I'll be gettin' outta here pretty soon
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fsckin' room
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Outside now . . .

Three great guitarists and yet there is an insistence to play the solos note for note, something which Frank never did.

 The day is gone
    when the angels come to stay
  And all the silent whispers
    will be blown away
  And lying in the corner
    a pair of high heel shoes
  Hanging on the wall
    gold and silver for the blues

  One too many wasted sunsets
  One too many for the road
  And after dark the door is always open
  Hoping someone else will show

  Someone is waiting behind
    an unlocked door
  Grey circles overhead empties
    on the floor
  The cracks in the walls have
    grown too long
  The slow hand is dragging on
    afraid to meet the dawn

  One too many wasted sunsets
  One too many for the road
  And after dark the door is always open
  Hoping someone else will show

Nobody's Fault But Mine

[CalmRage]

Lightning flashing on a heavy iron gate
Scares me to death, but I just can't wait

Deep in the dungeon, there's a rattling of chains
Mad Doctor Phibes gonna eat my brains

It feels so good to be afraid
Vincent Price is back again

Heart pumping louder, the music's out of time
The vampire's dying, he's got to have wine

Red blood dripping, she doesn't have a prayer
I know it's not real, but I just don't care

It feels so good to be afraid
Vincent Price is back again

I want seven screaming virgins on a sacrificial altar
Howling dogs, creaking doors, and zombies to DIE FOR!

"The Rover" Led Zeppelin

Love the chord progression and the chorus:

E (E9 E E/B E)  A  (A/F#)
F#m E D   F#m A E
F#m E D   F#m A E
F#m E D C#m Bm A/E

F#m  E  D
   There can be no denying
F#m  A  E
   That the wind will shake 'em down
F#m  E  D
   And the flat world's flying
F#m  A  E
   There's a new plague on the land

F#m        E         D
If we could just join hands
       C#m         Bm
If we could just join hands
If we could just join...

Gettin Tighter - Deep Purple

When night time comes
And I'm ten thousand miles away
Just lose yourself
And watch the band kick back and play

Get up--keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
You say you're feelin' fine
It's gettin' tighter all the time

Get a load off your mind
This place is right
It's hard to find
The mood is set alright
It's gonna be a long long night
You keep spinnin' 'round
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make

Get up--keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
