Beach Boys-Dont go near the water
[[File:Concretestain music.jpg|thumb|Sustain to the music! :-)]]
Don't go near the water...
Don't you think it's sad,
What's happened to the water?
Our water's goin' bad.


Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
== Blues ==
Have all been touched by man.
The poison floatin' out to sea
Now threatens life on land.


Don't go near the water...
* Beach Boys: Dont go near the water
Ain't it sad,
* Adrian Belew: Only A Dream
What's happened to the water?
* Captain Sea Level: When the North Pole Melts
It's going bad.
* James Taylor: Traffic Jam
* Lenny Solomon: Global Warming Blues


Don't go near the water;
Don't go near the water...
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath,
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath.
Beginning with me,
Beginning with you...
Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong;
To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song.
Let's all help the water—
Right away!
Do what we can and ought to—
Let's start today.
"Adrian Belew- Only A Dream"
The woman screams at the windy day;
Her children play in the acid rain.
The water is green and the sky is brown;
the cars and buildings, all broken down.
Now what in the world is happening here?
Will somebody please explain?
Nothing I see makes sense to me—
Maybe it's only a dream.
The deer in the forest or the eagle in the sky,
They see Man coming and they run to hide.
The birds on the shore will no longer fly,
they're covered in oil and they're bound to die.
"When the North Pole Melts by Captain Sea Level"
When the north pole starts to melt,
What is gonna happen to his little elves?
Will they be too busy swimming to make the toys?
And what will Santa do
If the North Pole melts too fast?
Is this Christmas gonna be his last?
What will parents have to tell their girls and boys?
James Taylor "Traffic Jam"
Now, I used to think that I was cool,
Running around on fossil fuel.
Until I saw what I was doing—
Was driving down the road to ruin.
==Global Warming Blues==
words & music Lenny Solomon
He loves to go out shopping in his SUV
A car that large is rocking, fits him to a tee
When he gets behind the wheel, hears that engine whine
He doesn’t think of the gasoline he’s burning all the time
Will it be now or later, when he gets a clue
Global warming’s coming, babe, it’s gunna get you
I make so much money I could buy me a continent
Gunna build me a trophy house with every complement
A fridge as big a Venus, a stove as big as Mars
With all the modern conveniences, you see I’m a star
Will it be now or later, when he gets a clue
Global warming’s coming, babe, it’s gunna get you
Glaciers are all melting, the Arctic’s turning green
Polar bears have seen their lairs go floating down the stream
Harp seals have changed color, they’re no long white
They’re now bronze complected and extremely uptight
Will it be now or later, when we get a clue
Global warming’s coming, babe, it’s gunna get you

SOng discuss how the weather is everywhere and we can not control it!
Walking around the room singing
Stormy weather at 57 Mount Pleasant Street
Well its the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things aint cooking in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the roman empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky


Well There's a small boat made of china
* Jimmy Buffet- Volcano
It's Goin nowhere on the mantlepiece
Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released


Everywhere you go
Talks of the effects that nature can have!!!
You always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go

Chorus:
Now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Ground she's movin' under me
Got ya tidal waves out on the sea
Sulphur smoke up in the sky
Pretty soon we learn to fly
....
Now my girl quickly said to me
Man, you'd better watch your feet
That lava comes out soft and hot
You better lova me now or lova me not
....
No time to count what I'm worth
Hey I just left the planet earth
But a' where I go I hope there's rum
Not to worry, more soon come
......
But I don't want to land in New York City
Don't want to land in Mexico (no no no)
Don't want to land in the Three Mile Island
Don't want to see my skin aglow (no no no)
Don't want to land in Commanche Sky park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee (no no no)
Don't want to land in no San Juan airport
Or the Yukon Territory (no no no)


Don't want to land in no San Diego

Don't want to land in no Buzzard's Bay(no no no)
Don't want to land on no ayutollah

== Folk Rock ==
 
I was listening for answers
That I could not really hear
When the words of a wise old Indian
Put a conch shell to my ear
 
And I took off for the ocean
I was searching for the coast
Painting pictures of my vision
With the words from grandma ghost
 
Hiding from the dragons
Riding for the sea
Singing ballads from my childhood
“A pirate’s life for me”
 
Survivors seem to function best
When peril is at hand
With a song of the ocean
Meets a salty piece of land
 
I was force-fed my religion
But I somehow saved my smile
Tapped into my instincts
As I headed to’ards exile
 
Cleopatra did not own a barge
But a schooner was her home
She has centuries of stories
And there’s wisdom in her bones
 
She was on a sacred mission
And she told me of a place
Where a man can hide forever
But never loose his face
 
So I saddled up my seahorse
With a fly-rod in my hand
I was not looking for salvation
Just a salty piece of land
 
Somedays Cayo Loco SHIMMERS
Like the stars up in the sky
And the seabirds they do touch and gos
As the world just tangos by
 
But there are times when she is hidden
Beneath the wild and crashing waves
And the patron saint of lightening
Keeps the sailors from their graves
 
Some say it is a blinding sword
Pointing out into the sea
While others say her guiding light
Leads to’ards eternity
 
Still I sit in contemplation
And I just don’t understand
This mysterious attraction
Of this salty piece of land
 
Still I search the constellations
And the tiny grains of sand
Where the song of the ocean
Meets the salty piece of land

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Yellow_Taxi Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell]===
''"Living in Los Angeles, smog chocked L.A., is bad enough but the last straw came when I visited Hawaii for the first time. It was night time when we got there, so I didn't get my first view of the scenery until I got up the next morning. The hotel room was quite high up so in the distance I could see the blue Pacific Ocean. I walked over to the balcony and there was the picture book scenery, palm tree swaying in the breeze and all. Then I looked down and there was this ugly concrete car park in the hotel grounds. I thought "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" and that's how the song "Big Yellow Taxi" was born."''
 
==Politik by Coldplay==
 
Although this song may not seem to have too much to do with energy and the environment, it deals with what is important to you and using your space wisely. It also says to open your eyes to the problems in the world, one of which is the environment. Whenever I hear this song, I think of how we as people take things like the environment for granted.
 
Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik
 
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes


Give me one, cause one is best
* Joni Mitchell: Big Yellow Taxi [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Yellow_Taxi]
In confusion, confidence
* Coldplay: Politik
Give me piece of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest of us

==Dave Matthews Band - Too Much==
 
  Straight in, suck up and go,
Cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all
It comes cheap
Push it through the doors
Because in between the lines
I’m gonna pack more lines
So I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars
Than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up,
Fill it up until no more
I’m no crazy creep, I’ve got it coming
To me because I’m not satisfied
The hunger keeps on growing
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much

* Joanne Rand: Antarctica
 
 
== Antarctica by Joanne Rand==
 
Well there’s a great big hole growing over Antarctica.
And there’s a great big hole growing in the heart of America.
And it’s growing bigger every day.
Pretty soon we’re gonna blow away,
When the sky comes tumbling down someday.
 
Well the trash is collecting in the gutters in the streets of America
& the oil is collecting on the birds and the beaches of America.
& the sky is filling up with smog,
Makes you feel like a dying dog
In the gutters in the streets in the heart of America.
 
Well they’re drilling for oil and they’re drilling for coal,
& they’re drilling the army, they’re drilling our souls,
& they’re drilling big holes in the skin of the earth.
Makes you wonder what this whole fucking scene is worth.
I don’t know what to say.
It’s getting weirder every day.
Makes me want to get down on my knees and pray.......
 


I choose this song because it talks about the different conditions of the environment.

* JamesTaylor: Fire and Rain
 
==Fire and Rain by James Taylor==
 
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
 
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
 
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
 
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.
 
Thought I'd see you one more time again.
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.
 
this is the only song I could think of that actually said anything about the environment! I'm not sure if this is the right genre!

'''This song is about our current generation and how we cannot change the world unless we get up and do something about it.'''  
'''[http://youtube.com/watch?v=uPOBMzMTP4U "Waiting on the World to Change" Video]'''


Me and all my friends
'''This song is about our current generation and how we cannot change the world unless we get up and do something about it.'''
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it


So we keep waiting

And the streets are never clean,

Sweet change, if anybody's listening?
Emergency on planet earth.
Is that life that I am witnessing,
Or just another wasted birth.

Won't see him in that TV advertising, 'cause it might put you off your food

--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 17:05, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
'''Another great song, "Biotech is Godzilla", by "Sepultura", featuring Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedys. This song is to me about technology rapeing nature, with no remorse or concern for the future of the planet. Take however much, by any means necessary, until there is none left, move on and repeat. It also mentions some factual information; such as Cubatao, Brazil, which is one of the most polluted areas in the world and The Rio Summit of 92'; which was a gathering in Rio de Janeiro with The United Nations to help goverments rethink economic development and to better conserve and use precious natural resouces. Great song, should be played at high volume.'''
 
Rio Summit 92', Street people kidnapped
Hid from view
"To save the earth"
Our rulers met
Some had other
Secret plans

Of cells of life itself

Money-mad experiments
New food + medicine?
New germs +        s!

Air melts your face
Deformed children all around

Ain't what's so bad
Like all technology
It's in the wrong hands


Cut-throat corporations

Don't give a damn

==Steel Prophet- Environmental Revolt==
* Steel Prophet- Environmental Revolt
'''From the album, "The Goddess Principal," 1995. These lyrics often remind me of overpopulation and the many unsustainable practices that we use.'''
 
We the people of this decimated planet called earth
For twenty years have reaped only still birth
My veins reflecting earth's rivers
Filled with poison life they cannot support
 
People of all races on this planet know economic crash
will mean so much woe
Corporations in states of denial scream "our system's
good pollution is not what it seems"
But like all revolution before the throng of justice
will break down the door
People pleading reform are just the calm before the
storm
 
[Chorus]
 
Stand up for life of the future
Destroy the way that's ruined us
Bring environmental killers to trial
End their reign with a smile
 
Inventions coming onto the scene
Their effects on health remain to be seen
But once profit begins to flow
Corporate vultures seize the control
 
Once jobs and livelihood is on the line
They rope you into their clutches like swine
Revolutions gone down the drain
Work for them you're just a pawn in their game
 
Then they tell you cut back conserve
Our way can live if our rules you observe
But you know the whole system's decayed
To the corporate god our leaders have prayed
 
[Chorus]
 
So you wonder what to do
Their elections offer no one to you
You arm yourself to destroy them
The thought of bloodshed leaves doubt
 
[Chorus]
 
They endorse the death penalty but abortion is a crime


Drugs that make you happy are not to be used
'''From the album, "The Goddess Principal," 1995. These lyrics often remind me of overpopulation and the many unsustainable practices that we use.'''\

* Sepultura: Old Earth


We gamble with life fighting tribes after tribes
Colors and races misplaced in the spaces
We're falling, we're crawling, we're crying, denying
Heavy rain shaking ground, no roots will be found
Hate from my mother, the limits of mankind
We're lying, we're dying, destroying
The earth is rotting, the earth is rotting
Rot old old earth
The earth is growing, it keeps on growing
Rot old old earth
Believing in gods and spirits that can save us
Shout to the skies and disturbing the peace
We're rioting, we're shouting, we're killing, denying
Involved in our minds but not by our own actions
Consume all the wealth, there's no hope for redemption
We're burning, we're cutting, destroying
Can you feel? Can you feel it leave!

Push the water table lopside
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause oil tankers spill they load as they roam cross the sea
Man, you gotta cook with it, bathe and clean with it (That's right)
When it's hot, summertime you fiend for it (Let em know)
You gotta put it in the iron you steamin with (That's right)
It's what they dress wounds and treat diseases with (Shout it out)
The rich and poor, black and white got need for it (That's right)
And everybody in the world can agree with this (Let em know)
Consumption promotes health and easiness (That's right)
Go too long without it on this earth and you leavin it (Shout it out)
Americans wastin it on some leisure shit (Say word?)
And other nations be desperately seekin it (Let em know)
Bacteria washing up on they beaches (Say word?)
Don't drink the water, son they can't wash they feet with it (Let em know)
Young babies in perpetual neediness (Say word?)
Epidemics hopppin up off the petri dish (Let em know)
Control centers try to play it all secretive (Say word?)
To avoid public panic and freakiness (Let em know)
There are places where TB is common as TV
Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy
The type of cats who pollute the whole shore line
Have it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-five
Now the world is drinkin it
Your moms, wife, and baby girl is drinkin it
Up north and down south is drinkin it
You should just have to go to your sink for it
The cash registers is goin "cha-chink!" for it
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Got the fish lookin cockeyed
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause it's all about gettin that cash (Money)

I wanted to make a song about where I'm from
* Michael Franti & Spearhead: Is It Love Enough?
You know? Big up my home town, my territory, my state
But, I couldn't figure out much to brag about
Prince lives here, we got 10,000 lakes
But wait, the women are beautiful, to me they are
And we're not infested with pretentious movie stars
And it hit me, Minnesota is dope
If only simply for not what we have but what we don't
It's all fair, it ain't out there, it's in there
It's in the mirror, behind the breast under the hair
Follow the dream doesn't mean leave the love
Roam if you must, but come home when you've seen enough
I love New York and Cali, but I ain't movin'
Too overpopulated saturated with humans
And I'm not big on rappers, actors, or models
If I had to dip, I'd probably skip to Chicago
None of this is to diss no one, nowhere
Like damn, I'm from Minnesota, land of the cold air
Too many mosquitoes and our fair share of egos
But like my man Sabe says, that's where my mommy stays


[Chorus:]
So if the people laugh and giggle when you tell em where you live
Say shhh, say shhh
And if you know this is where you wanna raise your kids
Say shhh, say shhh
If you're from the Midwest and it doesn't matter where
Say shhh, say shhh
If you can drink tap water and breathe the air
Say shhh, say shhh
Got trees and vegetation in the city I stay
The rent's in the mail and I can always find a parking space
The women outnumber the men two to one
Got parks and zoos and things to do with my son
The nightlife ain't all that, but that's okay
I don't need to be distracted by the devil every day
And the jobs ain't really too hard to find
In fact, you could have mine if you knew how to rhyme
This is for everyone around the planet
That wishes they were from somewhere other than where they standin'
Don't take it for granted, instead take a look around
Quit complaining and build something on that ground
Plant something on that ground, dance and sleep on that ground
Get on your hands and knees and watch the ants walk around
That ground Make a family, make magic, make a mess
Take the stress, feel your motivation and build your nest
It sucks that you think where I'm from is wack
But as long as that's enough to keep your ass from coming back
And with a smile and a hint of sarcasm, he said

If the playground is clear of stems and syringes
Say shhh, say shhh
If there's only one store in your town that sells 12-inches
Say shhh, say shhh
If no one in your crew walks around with a gun
Say shhh, say shhh
And if you ain't gonna leave cause this is where you're from
Say shhh, say shhh

'''From the album, "Ozomatli." This band has deep Hispanic roots... lyrics have been translated from Spanish to English using a computer program. This band often speaks out about political opposition and international concern for unification and environmental consciousness.'''


Chorus]
We see a coming war
We see a coming war
Now
Can you imagine this world with no oppression?
And no need to dabble in greed and transgression
The solution for murder and prostitution
Never glorify this pollution on television
Corrupt an entire nation
Explicit images
Never freeing Mumia regardless of proven innocence
Turning to crime and not using intelligence
What makes me wonder sometimes are we in hell or
Inches away from confronting the powers that be
Saw in seconds what has taken some hours to see
Temps is hot enough to melt a bullion
More than a million people are ready
For rebellion
          is ill
Sun set to the crack of dawn
If you're black or blonde
Uncle Sam is robbing you blind and putting shackles 'pon
The minds of your children for real son
Beware this system and go to war with this institution.
They see a coming war
They see a coming war
They expect those of us who peep to not see
Medical benefits should be cheap if not free (right?)
The richest people are those without morals
Cuz once they get inside they tend to keep the door closed
Lord knows they killing us quick and clean
>From baseheads to people addicted to nicotine
Man-made diseases where skin cells corrode
To ones where if infected you die from common colds
Economical foes they pose the true threat
Using your tax dollars to sell and produce death
What's left?
We got guns and drug trafficking
Government will be backing
And blaming Latin and African brothers for dirty work done
The shit they do not only hurts young
But it's provoking revolutionary circum-
Stances
Slow like molasses
This is a message to the masses
Never ass kiss
[Chorus]
Emergency, emergency, evacuate the premises immediately
Emergency, emergency
Now
Open your ear
Cause slavery will appear
When corporate cutthroats control your career
The treats of life are toned and ain't no way the ripple fix
Beware the microchip that replaces the triple six
Which one?
Are you a soldier who fights against fraud
Or pawns in this game on this government's chess board?
The signs are clearly defined
It's merely your mind state
Wars coming my people so stay awake

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

==Lay Me on the Water by Gavin DeGraw, from the indie album "Gavin Live" ==
Deals with one of the MAJOR elements of the ENVIRONMENT
 
Thinking 'bout the water for a sign
Waiting for the moment to arise
I know that no man could ever fly
Just lay me on the water
 
Colors paint great pictures in my dreams
Shining off the rust that I have seen
But I don't need to show them to the world
Just lay me on the water
 
If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water
 
Oh candy seems to roll off of my tongue
I view all good citizens as one
But I don't feel like leading some campaign
Just lay me on the water
 
If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water
 
Oh gentle on the wing
Where I want to be
Listen to the breeze blow
Lay me on the water
 
If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
Lay me on the water
 


==Nature Anthem==
* Lay Me on the Water by Gavin DeGraw, from the indie album "Gavin Live"
this is by far one of the catchiest, most lovable nature songs on planet earth. The Band is called Grandaddy and the song is called Nature Anthem. The lyrics are as follows:
* Nature Anthem
 
"I wanna walk up the side of the mountain, I wanna walk down the other side of the mountain
I wanna swim in the river, and lie in the sun, I wanna try to be nice to everyone"


This refrain is repeated and officially lodged in one's head for the next day or two.

You have the world at your fingertips;
No one can make it better than you.

So many changes have all just begun
To reap...
I know you're asleep....

This is a cool song from the band Rush. It could be percieved as meaning many things but in this case it could have an environmental message.
 
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas


The trouble with the maples
(and they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream `oppression!`
And the oaks, just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
’the oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw ...

Muddy with twigs and branches
 
Turmoil! Carnage!
 
Here come the earth intruders
We are the paratroopers
Stampede of sharpshooters
Come straight from voodoo
 
With our feet thumping
With our feet marching
Grinding skeptics into the soil
 
Shower of goodness
Coming to end the doubt pouring over
Shower of goodness coming to end
 
We are the earth intruders
We are the sharp shooters
Flock of parashooters

I have guided my bones
Through some voltage
And loved them still
And loved them too
 
Metallic carnage!

Feel the speed!

Flock of parashooters

There is turmoil out there
Carnage! rambling!
 
 
What is to do but dig
Dig bones out of earth
Mudgraves! Timber!
Morbid trenches!
 
Here come the earth intruders
Stampede of resistance
We are the canoneers
Necessary voodoo
 
And the beast
With many heads
And arms rolling
Steamroller!

Muddy with twigs and branches
 
Forgive this tribe!

* Prince: Planet Earth
 
The only thing between us now is the truth we understand
If Planet Earth was in the palm of your hand
 
50 years from now what will they say about us here?
Did we care for the water and the fragile atmosphere?
 
There are only 2 kinds of folk
And the difference they make
The ones that give
And the ones that take


Just like the countless bodies
That revolve around the sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one,
That caused it all to be
Then we’ll see His kingdom come,
So shall it be written, so shall it be sung
Imagine you could rid the Earth
Of anyone you choose
Which ones would you need the most
And which ones would you lose?
Do we want to judge another
Lest we be judged too?
Careful now... The next one might be you

Don't go near the water...
Don't you think it's sad,

Our water's goin' bad.
 
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man.
The poison floatin' out to sea
Now threatens life on land.
 
Don't go near the water...
Ain't it sad,
What's happened to the water?
It's going bad.
 
Don't go near the water;
Don't go near the water...
 
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath,
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath.

Don't go near the water

Give me one good reason to respect the laws that you obey
Step back and watch it burn as the life you live just slips away
Manipulate the ignorant hordes into hating each other and fighing your wars
With no respect for the people who died and no assistance for the families that cry

You expect me to believe that you shoot and kill in the name of peace?
You fuel the hateful twisted minds of the wretched, cruel, diseased
Give me one good reason to respect the lies that you obey, step back and
watch it burn as the life you live just slips away
Don't let it slip away
Fill our minds with conspiracy they create the hate that we believe
Pollute our lives with your lies and trechery, show our children who is their enemy

In this farewell
There’s no blood

‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
 
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
 
I'll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done
 
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
 
For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!!!

You tell me that I'll never be set free
I'm a parasite,
creep and crawl I step into the night.
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too?
Ain't got no money to spend
I know the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
 
Baby your a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim but wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
Ain't got no quarrels with god Ain't got no time to grow old

'''From the album,"Before the Blackout." 2005.'''


There's something buried deep between these lines that you will never see
It's something that they don't want us to figure out
Were suffocating under all the lies and picture perfect smiles
The presidents and photographs in magazines
And no ones listening
We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down
There's something wrong when television is the basis for our lives
They want us to believe in everything we see
It's getting harder now that all the innocence has passed us by
Now everybody wants to get something for free
And no ones listening
We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down
And everybody wants the truth
But they're too scared to face it
They just don't accept what's happening
We just sit back and watch the world destroy itself when
We all know something's wrong
We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation

To be better than you is impossible to do,
But the world won't stop without you.
No, the world won't stop without you.
Your achievements are unsurpassed, you are highly-ordered mass,
But you can bet your ass your free energy will dissipate.
Two billion years thus far, now mister here you are,
An element in a sea of enthalpic organic compounds.
The world won't stop without you.
The world won't stop without you.
You're only as elegant as your actions let you be
A piece of chaos related phylogenetically
To every living organ system, we're siblings, don't you see?
The earth rotates and will revolve without you constantly.
Two billion years thus far, now mister here you are,
An element in a sea of enthalpic organic compounds.

Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
No concerns about the world getting warmer
People thought that they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November

--[[User:Kerrifes|Kerrifes]] 09:29, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails.
To the east, Africa was a neighbor,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
 
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant
Of the Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonized the world;
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.

Dyniss -All the People
All the people I see in the world,

Kansas- Death of Mother Nature Suites"
 
 
Every day she gets a little weaker;
The beauty she once knew has come and gone;
We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters;
The blood is on your hands, the time has come . . .
And now she's gonna die!
 
We've strangled all her trees and starved her creatures;
There's poison in the sea and in the air;
But worst of all, we've learned to live without her;
We've lost the very meaning of our lives . . .
And now she's gonna die!
 
Once she ruled the earth with love and wisdom;
But we were much too smart to live her way;
With greed and lust we tried to rise above her;
The ignorance of man will reach an end . . .
'Cause now we're gonna die!
 
 
 
"Joni Mitchell- Big Yellow Taxi"
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot.
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone—
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot!
 
They took all the trees,
Put 'em in a tree museum;
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em.
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone—
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot!
 
Hey farmer, farmer,
Put away the DDT now;
Give me spots on my apples,
But leave me the birds and the bees—
Please!
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone—
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot!

The Pretendars “My City was Gone”
I went back to Ohio,
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride.

Had been replaced by shopping malls,
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls.
Said, a, o, oh way to go, Ohio...
 
 
 
Plan it earth by Richard Sinclair
Another year,
Another lap around the sun for planet earth.
To keep this rock on spinning,
Never ending, just beginnings.
For future generations' children,
Let's plan it—Earth.
 
Common sense and understanding
Should be found by everyone.
We should be planting trees
And helping 'third world nations' from their knees,
Little children, free and well-fed . . .
Let's plan it—Earth.
 
I sit at traffic lights and turn my engine off;
Unleaded fuel,
Recycling should be the rule.
Help all those threatened, endangered creatures to survive;
Air, land and sea
Should remain poison-free.
Long may green reign.
 
If you plan to land
Feet first, upright, with your script complete,
Remember, too much alcohol
And self-indulgent, 'mind-expanding' practises
Just won't be useful . . .
Let's plan it—Earth;
Plan it Earth . . .
Plan it Earth . . .
 
 
 
 
 
Warakurna by Midnight Oil
This group performs songs of overuse of resources, pollution and other social distressers.
 
Diesel and dust is what we breathe;
This land don't change and we don't leave.
Some people live, some never die;
This land don't change this land must lie.
Some people leave, always return;
This land must change or land must burn.
 
 
 
Earth and Sun and Moon by Midnight Oil
In the morning we will wake up and take to the air,
Look back at the planet—I'm glued to my chair;
Southern half is burning as we climb through the sky;
Sea birds softly falling, smoke way up high.
 
There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains,
And a hurricane is blowing, and it turns once again.
Now there's oil spills in the water where Columbus once sailed,
And there's history
And mystery
And it's rolling away . . .
 
I wish you could see this great mystery—
Earth and sun and moon,
    Human tribe, thin blue line;
Earth and sun and moon,
    Will survive.
 
Sediment is flowing from river to sea;
Now where are the mighty nations, no lines to be seen;
An axe upon the broken ground, the sigh of the trees;
And it's floating in the ether, it brings me to my knees.
 
Too messed up to care;
Anyone got a wing and a prayer?
In the blink of an eye—
Thank you and goodnight.
 
Earth and sun and moon,
    Human tribe, one thin blue line;
Earth and sun and moon,
    We will survive.
 
 
The Yard birds- Shapes of things"
Now the trees are almost green,
But will they still be seen
When time and tide have been?
Fall into your passing hands;
Please don't destroy these lands;
Don't make them desert sands.
 
 
 
The Turtles- "Earth Anthem"
 
We are but an island in an ocean;
This is our home, third from the sun.
Let it be evergreen.
To keep it ever green,
I would lay my life down.
God, keep it evergreen.

am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all those who see me and all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we can be, not just what we are

Song deals with the issue of expandingh has and how people ruin the beautiful lands.
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high.
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear,
of a simple thing he can not comprehend.
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more,
more people, more scars upon the land.

You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt,
Always have clean shirts
To play around in.
 
In their sties, with all their backing,
They don't care what goes on around.
In their eyes, there's something lacking;
What they need's a damn good w      !
 
Everywhere there's lots of piggies,
Living piggy lives.
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives,
Clutching forks and knives
To eat their bacon.

Don't go near the water...
Don't you think it's sad,
What's happened to the water?
Our water's goin' bad.
 
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man.
The poison floatin' out to sea
Now threatens life on land.
 
Don't go near the water...
Ain't it sad,
What's happened to the water?
It's going bad.
 
Don't go near the water;
Don't go near the water...
 
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath,
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath.
Beginning with me,
Beginning with you...
 
Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong;
To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song.

'''From the album,"Living in the Past." Lifestyle repercussions?....'''
'''From the album,"Living in the Past." Lifestyle repercussions?....'''


There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea,
and the motor car magical world long since ceased to be,
when the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree.
Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride,
spawning new millions throws the world on its side.
Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse,
and those with no sandwiches please get off the bus.
The excrement bubbles,
the century's slime decays
and the brainwashing government lackeys
would have us say
it's under control and we'll soon be on our way
to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.
The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old,
and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.
We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.
Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh,
and left it to die.
At once felt remorse and were touched by the loss of our own,
held its poor broken head in her hands,
dropped soft tears in the snow,
and it's only the taking that makes you what you are.
Wond'ring aloud will a son one day be born
to share in our infancy
in the child's path we've worn.
In the aging seclusion of this earth that our birth did surprise
we'll open his eyes.

'''This song tells a story of timber harvesting and the stuggle of a forest....'''


There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.
There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

Wonder where he's been, wonder where he's been, wonder where he's been
The shore now gone behind the hills, a forest in our sight,
Rocks and distant mountains, bathed in waves of blinding light
Forests from far gone time, no living man has seen,
A private prehistoric world, for you and I a dream
Brownish hue dicates my eye, no colour hides their fear,
Flowers faded, dull and cold, now bleached by atmosphere
Creatures twisting under trees, huge monsters soaked with rage
Hidden deep below our earth, a frightening, bygone age
Their shepherd came, now long extinct, a huge primeval man
The three men filled with disbelief, just turned as one and ran.

* Kansas: Death of Mother Nature


Every day she gets a little weaker
[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 13:26, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
The beauty she once knew has come and gone
We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters
The blood is on your hands, the time has come
And now she's gonna die
We've strangled all her trees and starved her creatures
There's poison in the sea and in the air
But worst of all we've learned to live without her
We've lost the very meaning of our lives
And now she's gonna die
Once she ruled the earth with love and wisdom
But we were much too smart to live her way
With greed and lust we tried to rise above her
The ignorance of man will reach an end
'Cause now we're gonna die--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 13:26, 4 September 2007 (PDT)

Oh, Mother Earth,
With your fields of green
Once more laid down
by the hungry hand
How long can you
give and not receive
And feed this world
ruled by greed
And feed this world
ruled by greed.
Oh, ball of fire
In the summer sky
Your healing light,
your parade of days
Are they betrayed
by the men of power
Who hold this world
in their changing hands
They hold the world
in their changing hands.
Oh, freedom land
Can you let this go
Down to the streets
where the numbers grow
Respect Mother Earth
and her giving ways
Or trade away
our children's days
Or trade away
our children's days.

* Rolling Stones: Salt of the Earth


Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
And when I search a faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray and
Black and white
They don't look real to me
In fact, they look so strange
Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leading but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio
And when I look in the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and
Black and white
They don't look real to me
Or don't they look so strange
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the two thousand million
Let's think of the humble of birth

I am including this song because she is talking about waking up and seeing what is going on around her.  She says that she is not alone and that things need to be changed.


Have I been sleeping? I’ve been so still Afraid of crumbling
--[[User:Krd207|Krd207]] 18:01, 6 September 2007 (PDT)
Have I been careless?  Dismissing all the distant rumblings
Take me where I am supposed to be To comprehend the things that I can’t see
Cause I need to move I need to wake up I need to change I need to shake up
I need to speak out Something’s got to break up I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up Now
And as a child I danced like it was 1999 My dreams were wild
The promise of this new world Would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth To listen to an inconvenient truth
That I need to move I need to wake up I need to change
I need to shake up I need to speak out Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now
I am not an island I am not alone I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and bone
Oh I need to move I need to wake up I need to change
I need to shake up I need to speak out Something’s got to break up I’ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now I want to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Oh, Something’s got to break up I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up Now

The chosen race just keep on begging yeh
And I wanna know who's responsible?

Weeping for their babes and sucklings
Spirits of the innocent wandering
Sufferation everlasting
But I wanna know who's responsible?

Oh Papa dem chest keeps on burning
Fist clench tight a grit dem teeth
And blood is boiling
The price is high yet they keep on paying
The little bundles of love
They are all missing
And I wanna know who's responsible?
They don't give a damn no

This plight we're facing
Get involved problems to solved

Divided we are so
One by one we are falling

The forest blocks the light of day
On this pathway we must make a choice now,
Stay together or go our separate ways.''

There's an eagle, and he keeps on flying
Over the mountains capped in white snow
In green valleys lonesome people trying so hard
to tell each other what they think they know.
 
With greedy hands they take each other's money
Just to buy back this helpless place
In this land of flowing milk and honey,
We wander thirsty in the rain
Thirsty in the rain
 
Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying
Over the valleys in the crimson morning sky
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard
And there don't seem to be no reasons why

Seashells at your feet
Ravens rising everywhere
Their crying fills the air
It’s so hard to believe
That ten thousand years ago
Could it really be
Where you're standing was the sea?
She's cried out before
rising from her core
Now we're looking through that door


Is she going to Rollover?
Rolling over you and me
Rollover
Rolling over could it be?
All the cities are going to be
Two Thousand feet under the sea
Rollover
Rolling over you and me
Walking through the city of Jerusalem
They said it will be washed clean
It's getting pretty dark out there
No one doesn't seem to care
Looking for my submarine
A voyage to the ocean floor
To find a city lost in lore
So many things left unseen
Don't believe
We will have the final say
Cause she will always find her way
She might roll over
Rolling over you and me
Rollover
Rolling over can't you see?
can’t you see that we're going to be
Two thousand feet under the sea?
Rollover
Rolling over you and meRollover
Rolling over you and me
Rollover
Rolling over could it be?
All these cities are going to be
Two thousand feet under the sea
Rollover
Rolling over you and me
Rollover
Rolling over you and me
Rollover
Rolling over can’t you see?
Can’t you see that we’re going to be
two thousand feet under the sea?
Rollover
Rolling over you and me..." ''

Sirens are calling for someone there on there way
--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 12:03, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
Which house is it gonna be
 
The wailing and crying comes closer still
It's on our street today
 
A roll of the dice fate comes a knocking
And takes one more away
 
For all of their careful planning
Never thought it could end this way
 
I just want to say I love you
And make sure you feel it everyday
'Cause if today had been my last chance
It's just something I wanted to say


But this is not my time to go
* String Cheese Incident: 100 Year Flood

Chorus:
--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 05:01, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
The water�s rising and the rain�s still coming down
There�s a river five feet deep running down main street
Grab your children and head for higher ground
�Cause the dam�s broke loose
And the flood�s gonna wash away this town
 
In the winter of �96
Too much snow, too much rain would mix
And when that winter day turned warm
many a town will come to harm
 
And out on Chasebrook Road that night
That�s where some people lost their lives
One hundred feet wide and fifty feet deep Was a hole where the road used to be
Chorus
 
Come hell or high water
Starts meaning a whole lot more
From Walton to Schoharie County
No one knew how bad it would be
 
Some got out and walked away
There�s other missing to this day
Scraps of clothing and paper
Float across the water where they once were

==String Cheese Incident- Little Hands==
* String Cheese Incident- Little Hands
Winding down the dusty trail
from Cathedral Butte
Walking towards the canyon floor
playing Anasasi flutes.
Eagles flying overhead
beneath the desert sky.
Makes me think of how they lived
many years gone by.
 
I wander here from time to time
to give my head some space.
Leave the noise and confusion.
Vanish without a trace.
Salt Creek runs through the grass
as you hum that canyon tune.
Brush against the desert sage
just like some sweet perfume
 
Eight hundred years ago
this canyon was their home.
Eight hundred years ago
they walked through the sand.
Eight hundred years ago
they painted these little hands.


Yes this is the timeless place
--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 09:02, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
that’s seen them come and go.
They packed it up way back when
and drifted on down the road.
The earth, the sun, the moon and the stars.
meant so much back then.
But the years go by and though you try
you can’t bring them back again. --[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 09:02, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

==String Cheese Incident - Turn This Around==
* String Cheese Incident: Turn This Around
 
Used to think we'd get to where we've been
Now we stand here just rememberin'
Times I wake up we knew where we've been
Now we sit here rememberin'
 
 
ALTERNATE:
Used to think we could do anything
Now I sit here just remembering
Sometimes we thought we knew everything
Now I sit here
 
 
I don't think you ever thought about how much I really care
You just live/or/float though your life with your head up in the air
Don't you bother trying to run away
It's all bound to catch up with you some day
If you think you'll never go it's time to go away
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
See if we can turn this around, maybe some other way
(Turn this around)
Take this to a higher ground, maybe some other day
(Turn this around)
Maybe you're afraid to see, baby you're enough for me
(Turn this around)
Maybe you're afraid to try, you always sit there asking why
 
 
What's the warning all is fair
Do you think it might end some day
Look around you're not smilin'
All I see are just tears a cryin'

Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
 
Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter.
Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving.
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 05:01, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

==Grateful Dead - Let It Grow==
* Grateful Dead: Let It Grow
 
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore,
Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the mornings door.
See the sun sparkle in the reeds, silver beads, pass into the sea.
 
She comes from a town where they call her the woodcutters daughter,
Shes brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water, and
She bears it away with a love that the river has taught her.
 
Let it flow, greatly grow, wide and clear.
 
Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field,
Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal,
Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring,
Black dirt live again!
The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing,
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing
That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing
 
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield.
 
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name,
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin.
Water bright as the sky from which it came,
And the name is on the earth that takes it in.
We will not speak but stand inside the rain,
And listen to the thunder shouting I am! I am! I am! I am.


Nothin more, the love of the women, work of men.

* Grateful Dead: Eyes of the World
 
Right outside this lazy summer home
You aint got time to call your soul a critic no.
Right outside the lazy gate of winters summer home,
Wondrin where the nut-thatch winters,
Wings a mile long just carried the bird away.
 
'''Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin brings,
But the heart has its seasons, its evenins and songs of its own.'''
 
There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away,
And there follows his wagon behind him thats loaded with clay.
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay,
And night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day.

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own,
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home,
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone,
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own.

* Grateful Dead: Sunrise
 
Gazing at the fire, burning by the water
Before he speaks the world around us quiets.
 
With eyes as sharp as arrows and turning to the fire
He clears the air and cuts it with a feather.
 
Many in a circle slowly round the fire
When he is gone I want to know him better.
 
No one is forsaken, no one is a liar,
He plants the tree of life on our foreheads with water.
 
He hums, there are drums, four winds, rising suns,
We are singing and playing, I her him saying.
 
I remember breezes from winds inside your body
Keep me high, like I told you, Ill sing to them this story and know why.--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 05:01, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too
 
Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
 
Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through
 
Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame


It's just a box of rain
* Phish: Lizards
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair

and a short time to be there --[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 05:05, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

He said there was a place where we should go
 
So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which
 
We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring
 
The knight grew very quiet as we stood there
 
Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing
 
 
He said I come from the land of darkness
 
I said I come from the land of doom
 
He said I come from the land of Gamehendge
 
From the land of the big baboon
 
But I'm never never going back there
 
And I couldn't if I tried
 
'Cause I come from the land of Lizards
 
And the Lizards they have died
 
And the Lizards they have died
 
And the Lizards they have died
 
And the Lizards they have...
 
 
He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct
 
From doing things smart people don't do
 
He said that he was once a Lizard too...
 
His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save
 
 
His people from the fate that lay before them.
 
Their clumsy end was perilously near
 
The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened
 
By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book
 
In all of Prussia only one existed
 
And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook
 
 
chorus
 
 
The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets
 
Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor
 
The trick was to surrender to the flow
 
We walked along beneath the moon
 
He lead us through the bush 'till soon
 
We saw before our eyes a raging river
 
He said that we could swim it if we tried
 
And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms
 
Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk
 
And as his body disappeared before me
 
I bowed my head in silence and remembered all thoughts that he had thunk--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 07:13, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

''''''I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top'''
'''I live upon morsels you happen to drop'''
And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup
If nothing comes down then Im forced to swim up
On the way upwards, the colors come back
But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black
The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong
And the night seems to go on incredibly long'''
 
So I ask you why if Im swimming by,
Dont you see anything youd like to try?
 
Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth
Jumbled events that have less than no worth
Time in the forest to dig under rocks
Or float in the ocean asleep in a box
 
Or sink just below all the churning and froth
And swim to the light source or fly like a moth
So toss away stuff you dont need in the end
But keep whats important and know whos your friend


So I ask you why if Im swimming by,

It cost me nothing it was free
He dreamed of walking in the sand
Of blossoms forming in his hand


Of kitchen cake and cedar shakes
* Phish- Pebbles & Marbles
Of waterfalls and yellow snakes
Of earthen dams and hydrofoils
Of watching water til it boils


Of holding forth from singing words
Of flying south with flocks of birds
None of this was charged to me
For as I said it was for free--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 07:13, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

==Phish- Mist==
Several times unconsciously, I've stumbled on the path
And seen a mountain in the mist
As rain falls on my shoulders, sun rises in the east
A morning bruise, but I am here at least
I guess I'm just an obstacle, a thing to overcome
If I could sneak around myself, again I'll know I've won
The moment seems to hang and float, before me with no end
Till I'm released, awaken beasts, I'm on the road again
But now I'm soaring far too high, a fleck of dust up in the sky
Where tiny clouds go sailing by
Pull me down today
Woven in the fairy tales, we fabricate each day
Are little golden strands of truth, that glimmer in the light
The colorful material, you hold a certain way
Can keep up from the cold
And help to get us through the night
But now I'm soaring far too high, a fleck of dust up in the sky
Where tiny clouds go sailing by--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 07:13, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

The faint light that flutters at night to the Earth

Would land in her eyes and collect
Luminous creatures she'd find in the surf
I never thought to inspect
Pebbles and marbles, like things on my mind
Seem to get lost and harder to find
When I am alone, I am inclined
If I find a pebble in the sand
To think that it fell from my hand
She gave me ideas, planted the seed
But she never stopped to reflect
The course that she's on, wherever it leads
I never would redirect
Pebbles and marbles, like words from a friend
Make us hold tight, but are lost in the end
When we're alone, we all seem to tend
If we find a marble in the dust
To wish someone left it for us
Pebbles and marbles, like things on my mind
Seem to get lost and harder to find
When I am alone, I am inclined
If I find a pebble in the sand
To wish that it fell from my hand
Pebbles and marbles, like things on my mind...--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 07:13, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

Sink my toes into the ground and set a different course

I'm leaving you a message,
--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 07:13, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
I'm leaving you a trace,
I'm leaving thoughts for you
I hope that time will not erase.
And when the moment comes
To read the words that I engraved,
You'll find them on the walls of the cave,
Of the cave.
I know you heard the question
But you didn't make a sound,
And when it fell you caught my heart
Before it hit the ground.
But if you ever need the names
Of those you couldn't save,
You'll find them on the walls of the cave.
You'll find them on the walls of the cave.
Look at me and time stands still
A mountain here is now a hill.
Look away,
Look away,
The time goes past.
These rocks will fall away at last.
Look away.
Maybe you will see it
As you're passing by alone,
Below the moss forgotten
where some words that turned to stone.
It might have been an etching
On a marker of a grave,
Or maybe on the walls of the cave.
Listen to
The silent trees
But still your words float on the breeze
Look away
I see them all
Carved into the cavern wall--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 07:13, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

The waves that bring me her words to me
 
for though unseen they drift around

And slip into the dark of night
 
As I attemt to stay upright

Instead I'm stranded on my knees
As words depart upon the breeze
That quickly drifts away from here
And possibly won't reach her ear
If we could see the many waves
that flow through clouds and sunken caves
She'd sense at least the words that sought her
on the winds of the underwater--[[User:Hoffster|Hoffster]] 07:13, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
