Touching. Insightful without being pretentious or overly complicated.dcarter wrote:"One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!"

Its odd that he rarely has bridges in his songs.
My pick to click for friday
EVERYBODY'S SPENDING THIS TIME
JUST BUILDING AND MAKING
SOMEDAY SOMEONE WILL SAY "FOR WHAT ?"
NINE TO FIVE IN A BLIND ALLEY
EQUALS THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN THIS STARTED
DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IT ENDS
THERE IS NEVER A DULL DAY
WHEN YOU'RE BEATEN BY NONFICTION
IF GOD STILL READS THE HEADLINES
FRONT PAGE HOPE IS MISSING
WORKING AWAY ON A REBUILT FREEWAY
STRAIGHTAWAY FROM THE SLASH AND BURN
CITIES
HINDSIGHT IS THERE
ON A ROAD SIGN POINTED NOWHERE
NO ONE GETS OFF HERE
NO WAY TO SLOW DOWN
THERE'S PIECE OF MIND SOMEWHERE WHENEVER SOMEONE EVER THINKS ABOUT IT
WE'RE ALL LISTENING FOR EVERY DROP OF SWEAT THAT IT TAKES TO SPEAK OUT AND WONDER
KNOWING HOW OR WHEN TO DUCK NEXT JUST SITTING HERE PUNCHDRUNK ALL THE WISER

Since not everyone's heard Cocaine and Ashes, played on the recent 7 show,9 day run with just Jay and Mark, here's a taste
I've had strichnine
Thought I was dead
Snorted my father and I'm still alive
I did it because that's how it is done
I'm the same as everyone
just kinda lucky
Body and Soul
Cocaine and Ashes
Get to that place in time
tears and blow are on my mind
Its no way to live
I've tried everything once
I have no pretensions of immortality
I've been told I've six months to live
But I've outlasted them all...

"Free loose dirt, free the minds of those who gainsay."
And yes, yes, yes, yes, you all are so right about
"Man in a tie will bum your dime before he'll break his 20 dollar bill."
And of course I like my signature, which is from a song that I didn't understand that much of before the lyrics were posted on this site.
So thanks for posting them!
