Joni Mitchell - The Magdalene Laundries (Live Toronto 1994) @sonicboy19

sonicboy19 written by Joni Mitchell | produced by Joni Mitchell & Larry Klein | from the album Turbulent Indigo (1994) | live from Intimate & Interactive (1994) | additional audio mixing by sonicboy19 | lyrics:

I was an unmarried girl
I'd just turned twenty-seven
When they sent me to the sisters
For the way men looked at me
Branded as a jezebel
I knew I was not bound for Heaven
I'd be cast in shame
Into the Magdalene laundries

Most girls come here pregnant
Some by their own fathers
Bridget got that belly
By her parish priest
We're trying to get things white as snow
All of us woe-begotten-daughters
In the steaming stains
Of the Magdalene laundries

Prostitutes and destitutes
And temptresses like me
Fallen women
Sentenced into dreamless drudgery
Why do they call this heartless place
Our Lady of Charity?
Oh charity!

These bloodless brides of Jesus
If they had just once glimpsed their groom
Then they'd know and they'd drop the stones
Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon
They leech the light out of a room
They'd like to drive us down the drain
At the Magdalene laundries

Peg O'Connell died today
She was a cheeky girl
A flirt
They just stuffed her in a hole!
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring!
One day I'm going to die here too
And they'll plant me in the dirt
Like some lame bulb
That never blooms come any spring
Not any spring
No, not any spring
Not any spring

Beastie Boys - So Whatcha Want (Live In-Studio 1992)

sonicboy19 2023-09-09 | written by Beastie Boys | produced by Mario Caldato Jr. | from the album Check Your Head (1992) | live version from Hanging With MTV (1992) | lyrics:

Just plug me in just like I was Eddie Harris
You're eating crazy cheese like you would think I'm from Paris
You know I get fly, you know I get high
You know that I'm gone and I'm-a tell you all why

So tell me who are you dissing, maybe I'm missing
The reason that you're smilin' or wildin', so listen
In my head, I just want to take 'em down
Imagination set loose and I'm gonna shake 'em down

Let it flow like a mud-slide
When I get on, I like to ride and glide
I've got depth of perception in my text, y'all
I get props at my mention cause I vex, y'all

So, so what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want?
I get so funny with the money that you flaunt
I said, "Where'd you get your information from" huh?
You think that you can front when revelation comes?
(Yeah, you can't front on that)

Well they call me Mike D, the ever-loving man
I'm like Spoonie Gee, well I'm the metropolitician
You scream and you holler 'bout my Chevy Impala
But the sweat is getting wet around the ring around your collar

But like a dream I'm flowing without no stopping
Sweeter than a cherry pie with Reddi-wip topping
From mic to mic, kickin' it wall to wall
Well, I'll be calling out to people like a casting call

Ah, well, it's wack when you're jacked in the back of my ride
With your know, with your flow, when you're out getting by
Believe me, what you see is what you get
And you see me, I'm comin' off as you can bet

Well I think I'm losing my mind, this time
This time I'm losing my mind, that's right
Said I think I'm losing my mind, this time
This time, I'm losing my mind

But little do you know about something that I talk about
I'm tired of driving, it's due time that I walkabout
But in the meantime, I'm wise to the demise
I've got eyes in the back of my head so I realize

Well, I'm Dr. Spock, I'm here to rock, y'all
I want you off the wall, if you're playing the wall
I said what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want?
I said what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want?

Y'all suckers write me checks and then they bounce
So I reach into my pocket for the fresh amount
See, I'm the long-leaner, Vincent the Cleaner
I'm the illest motherfucker from here to Gardena

Well, I'm as cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce
You've got the rhyme and reason, but got no cause
But if you're hot to trot, you think you're slicker than grease
I've got news for you crews, you'll be sucking like a leech

So what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want?
So what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want?
I said, what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want?
I said, what'cha, what'cha, what'cha want?

Luscious Jackson - Nervous Breakthrough (Live In-Studio 1999)

sonicboy19 2023-09-09 | written by Jill Cunniff | produced by Tony Mangurian & Jill Cunniff | from the album Electric Honey (1999) | live version from NPA / June 11 1999 / France | lyrics:

sometimes somebody can bring you down so far
below anywhere you've gone
sometimes somebody can bring you down so far
below anywhere you know
so much so fast feels like you can't take the pain
but remember there's no going back
something's so broken down
busted and underground
but here's your chance to surrender

thanks to you
i had a nervous breakthrough...

lay down your gun, lay down your pack
it's time to recognize the fact
that all the best things make you nervous
and all the best things come in disguise
so much so fast feels like you can't take the pain
but remember there's no going back
something's so broken down
busted and underground
but here's your chance to surrender

thanks to you
i had a nervous breakthrough...

did you know you brought me down to the ground
can you tell i'm happy that i fell
thanks to you i've got music in your soul
thanks to you i'm letting everybody know
it's the thing that creeps into your feet
it's the thing that flows into the beat
i was off kilter, now i got shelter
thanks to you i'm gonna breakthrough

Les Rita Mitsouko - Entrée / Ce sale ton

Un jour, il se lève
Et puis non
Tout avait pris ce sale ton
Déjà hier c'était monstrueux
Tout avait pris ce sale ton
Faudrait qu'il crève
Ce sale plafond
Qui lui fait la chape de plomb

C'est pas un rêve
Ah ça non
C'est la vie vraie ce tréfonds
Il fait pas le fier à affronter des yeux
Même les amis
Ce sale ton
Faudrait qu'il crève
Ce sale plafond
Qui lui fait la chape de plomb

Qui saura, qui saura
Comment le sortir de là
Qui saura ?
Il saura, il saura
Comment se sortir de là
Il saura

C'est pas un rêve
Ah ça non
C'est la vie vraie ce tréfonds
Il fait pas le fier à affronter des yeux
Même les amis
Ce sale ton

Un jour, il se lève
Et puis non
Tout avait pris ce sale ton
Déjà hier c'était monstrueux
Tout avait pris ce sale ton
Faudrait qu'il crève
Ce sale plafond
Qui lui fait la chape de plomb

Joni Mitchell (ft The Band) - Shadows & Light / Furry Sings The Blues (Live 1976 Last Waltz Outtake)

sonicboy19 2023-04-28 | all songs written by Joni Mitchell | Shadows and Light from the album The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (1975) | Furry Sings The Blues from the album Hejira (1976) | live versions (2016 remasters) recorded in Nov 1976 with The Band + Neil Young; later released as part of The Band's concert film/documentary/album project The Last Waltz (1978) | visual is a bootlegged videotaped recording of unknown origin | resynced by sonicboy19 w/ 2016 audio remasters of The Last Waltz | live lyrics:

Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness and sight
We are threatened by all things
By the devil of cruelty
Just as we're drawn to all things
By the devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Giving us our usual blindness and our occasional insight

Suntans in reservation dining rooms
Pale miners in their lantern rays
That's like night and day
Look at these hostage smiles on your presidents
You see freedom scribbled in the subway
Isn't that like night, night and day
We are threatened by all things
By the god of cruelty
Just as we're drawn to all things
By the sweet god of delight
Mythical god credited with all these things in the whole wide world
Keeper of day and night

Critics of all expression
Judges in black and white
Saying this is wrong
This is wrong and I'm gonna tell you what's right
Compelled by prescribed standards
By our backgrounds of our troubles and our ideals we all fight
For wrong and right
We're threatened by all things
We are man of cruelty
And we're drawn to all things
Sweet sweet sweet man of delight
Man who makes these laws same man who's gonna go along and break those laws
Wrong and right
Blindness and sight
Sun and the moon and day and night
Day and night

Old Beale Street is coming down
Sweeties' Snack Bar boarded up now
And Egles the Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone
Faded out with ragtime blues
Handy's cast in bronze
And he's standing in a little park
With a trumpet in his hand
Like he's listening back to the good old bands
And the click of high heeled shoes
Old Furry sings the blues
Propped up in his bed
With his dentures and his leg removed
And Ginny's there
For her kindness and Furry's beer
She's the old man's angel overseer

Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps
In the grey decay
They chew the last few dollars off
Old Beale Street's carcass
Carrion and mercy
Blue and silver sparkling drums
Cheap guitars eye shades and guns
Aimed at the hot blood of being no one
Down and out in Memphis Tennessee
Old Furry sings the blues
You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you
lt's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel
But there was one song he played
That I could really feel

"I got a woman on Monday she shines my shoes
I got a woman on Tuesday give me nothing but the blues
Old Furry's got nobody..."

There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy
The old girl's silent across the street
She's silent waiting for the wrecker's beat
Silent staring at her stolen name
Diamond boys and satin dolls
Bourbon laughter ghosts history falls
To parking lots and shopping malls
As they tear down old Beale Street
Old Furry sings the blues
He points a bony finger at you and says
"I don't like you!"
Everybody laughs like it's the old guy's standard joke
But it's true
We're only welcome for our drink and smoke

W. C. Handy I'm rich and I'm fey
And I'm not familiar with what you played
But I get such strong impressions of your hey day
Looking up and down old Beale Street
Ghosts of the darktown society
Come right out of the bricks at me
Like it's a Saturday night
They're in their finery
Dancing it up and making deals
Furry sings the blues
Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true blue
When he's fallen to hard luck
And time and other thieves
While our limo is shining on his shanty street
Furry sings the blues

California

November skies
Reflect the saddest eyes
Blue, white and grey
The clouds, the clouds in my coffee
New York you're fine
But New York couldn't make us happy

But California, California...
Make us happy...

December's highs
Let's drink and drink and drown
Disintegrate
Bad words, bad thoughts disappear with the rain
New York you're fine
But New York couldn't make us happy

But California, California...
Make us happy...

The Last One Standing

Merging the way
That we did yesterday, wrong direction
The traffic we'll know
The traffic is slow, and thoughtless
The wheel it is still, on the concrete and green, way home
And it is alone
A division unknown, a split decision
Climbing the floors and I'm not running
Through revolving doors and you're not driving
The barrier stands between your hands and me
Sorry

You said I made
You said, you said I made a bad decision
Said I made a mistake
Fatal without recognition
But how would I know
Know of the consequence, had I first seen
Back issue of Fate
How California hates
Had I not been
Closing the doors and I am running
Past video stores and you are driving
A battery stands between your hands and me
Sorry

You have got to be the last one standing...

Sargasso Sea

Beautiful friend
Swimming to shore
To the island we made
Stretched over sand
Through Sargasso Sea
Ruled by your heart
Off with our heads
Still holding hands
Beyond the line
Out of the frame
Beautiful friend
Spirits remain

Time's Arrow

Delusion
You can't count on time
Like a snake
It weaves its way around
Some days high
Some days low to the ground
Time's arrow born with a bang

Time's arrow glides through your heart
Time's arrow never looks back

Precision
You try and pin down time
A caesium fountain
Replacing grains of sound
Atomic clouds set clocks
That track you down
Time's arrow born with a bang

Time's arrow glides through your heart
Time's arrow never looks back

Time's arrow born with a bang
Time's arrow glides through your heart

La jalousie
Te crèvera le cœur
Tu attends, tu guettes
Tu épies, tu pleures
À ta merci
Tu voudrais voir
Cette femme, cette pute
Cette salope qui traîne
À ta merci, tu voudrais avoir
Cette femme, cette pute
Cette salope chérie
Merde à la fin
Tu voudrais avoir
Cette femme que t'aimes pour toi seul

À ton boulot
Tu penses à elle
Elle est ailleurs avec sa conne de mère
Qui croit qu'elle est encore à elle
Celle-là un de ces jours, je l'enculerai !
Elle croit qu'elle est le père de mon fils
Sa sale gueule, sa laideur
Me tournent le cœur
Merde à la fin !
Je voudrais avoir
Cette femme que j'aime pour moi seul

Chaque instant passé hors de ta portée te rend fou
Tu ne peux penser à rien d'autre qu'à elle, à elle
Si influençable
Comment savoir si quelqu'un d'autre ne l'embrasse pas
Maintenant n'est-elle pas juste en train de te trahir ?

La jalousie
Te crèvera le cœur
Tu attends, tu guettes
Tu épies, tu pleures
À ta merci
Tu voudrais avoir
Cette femme, cette pute
Cette salope qui traîne
À ta merci
Tu voudrais avoir
Cette femme, cette pute
Cette salope chérie
Merde à la fin !
Tu voudrais avoir
Cette femme que tu aimes si fort

Maintenant n'est-elle pas juste en train de te trahir ?
Est-elle encore à toi ?

In the first days of the spring time
Made you up and split from one thousand enemies
Made a trail of a thousand tears
Made you a prisoner inside your own secrecy

There's a ghost in me
Who wants to say "I'm sorry"
Doesn't mean I'm sorry

At the first hour of the springtime
Made you up and split from one thousand enemies
Now I see you from the corner
Clock strikes and I know you will be drinking alone

There's a ghost in me
Who wants to say "I'm sorry"
Doesn't mean I'm sorry

There's a ghost in me
Who wants to say "I'm sorry"
Doesn't mean I'm…

Back from the window
Everything's subtle
Temporary sanctuary
Look through the window
Everything's subtle
Tailored to fit
But nothing's that simple

Gold, you will always come to me
With the power of deception
Gold won't ever comfort me
The color of deception
The color of deception

Move closer
Subterfuge
Illusion's there for all to see
There's no one left to rescue me
Glass and stone
It cuts like a knife
And gold won't ever comfort me

Gold, you will always come to me
With the power of deception
Gold won't ever comfort me
The color of deception
The color of deception

Wish I could change the way that you feel
Standing with him, you feel more real
Looking so sweet, with all your might
Trusting in him to fully ignite
Holding his hand like a brand new kite
Blue eyes sparkle open alright
Wish I could see the girl who'd fight
Playing and laughing and trying to show it
Running and fumbling and dying to know it
Staring you down with her gaze, hold it
Wish I could free you but I can't, don't blow it

Angel
Gonna show it
Blow it
The devil
Go and hold it
Angel
Gonna show it
Blow it
Blew it

Becuz of you, becuz of you...

Wish I could free you but I can't, don't blow it

Madonna - Love Tried To Welcome Me

sonicboy19 2020-01-26 | written & produced by Madonna & Dave Hall | from the album Bedtime Stories (1994) | film by Fabien Baron | additional editing & remix by sonicboy19 | lyrics:

These are my hands but what can they give me
These are my eyes but they cannot see
These are my arms but they don't know tenderness
And I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness
And loneliness has never been a stranger to me

But love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in

These are my lips but they whisper sorrow
This is my voice but it's telling lies
I know how to laugh but I don't know happiness
And I must confess, instead of spring it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter

But still, love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me

And I must confess, instead of spring it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter

But still, love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in

Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me

Sonic Youth - Panty Lies

sonicboy19 2020-01-20 | written by Sonic Youth | produced by Sonic Youth with John Siket | from the album Washing Machine (1995) | video editing and remix by sonicboy19 | lyrics:

Don't just stare
Cuz she's not wearing underwear
Oh how rude
At least she got your attention square
Don't you realize it's just her disguise
Hey mom look, no more panty lines

Peekaboo
Look into the mirror
Now you see her
Now you'll be her
Pucker your lips
Twirl your hair
Pretend you're not there
Pretend it ain't fair
Little girl
Playin' in the closet
First comes walkin'
Then comes stockings
Peekaboo
Look into the mirror
She says, "who am I,
Inside, outside."

Don't just stare
Cuz she's not wearing underwear
Oh how rude
At least she's got your attention square
Don't you realize it's just her disguise
Hey mom look, no more panty lies

Joni Mitchell - The Circle Game (Live In-Studio 1968)

sonicboy19 2019-12-27 | written & produced by Joni Mitchell | from the album Ladies of the Canyon (1970) | live in-studio from the CBC program The Way It Is (1968) | thanks to Randall & the JMDL Tape Tree | lyrics:

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, "when you're older" must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him, "take your time, it won't be long now
Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down."

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Joni Mitchell - Judgement of the Moon and Stars (Ludwigs Tune)

sonicboy19 2019-12-21 | written & produced by Joni Mitchell | from the album For The Roses (1972) | video footage from the film Immortal Beloved (1994) directed by Bernard Rose | additional editing by sonicboy19 | lyrics:

No tongue in the bell
And the fishwives yell
But they might as well be mute
So you get to keep the pictures
That don't seem like much
Cold white keys under your fingers
Now you're thinking,
"That's no substitute
It just don't do it
Like the song of a warm warm body
Loving your touch"

In the court they carve your legend
With an apple in its jaw
And the women that you wanted
They get their laughs
Long silk stockings
On the bedposts of refinement
You're too raw
They think you're too raw
It's the judgement of the moon and stars
Your solitary path
Draw yourself a bath
Think what you'd like to have
For supper
Or take a walk
A park
A bridge
A tree
A river
Revoked but not yet cancelled
The gift goes on
In silence
In a bell jar
Still a song

You've got to shake your fists at lightning now
You've got to roar like forest fire
You've got to spread your light like blazes
All across the sky
They're going to aim the hoses on you
Show them you won't expire
Not until you burn up every passion
Not even when you die
Come on now
You've got to try
If you're feeling contempt
Well then you tell it
If you're tired of the silent night
Jesus well then you yell it
Condemned to wires and hammers
Strike every chord that you feel
That broken trees
And elephant ivories conceal

Madonna - Gone (Hybrid Demo Mix)

Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won't be broken again
I'm not
I'm not what you think
Dream away your life
Someone else's dream
Nothing equals nothing

Letting go
Is not my thing
Walk away
Won't let it happen again
I'm not
I'm not very smart
Why should I feel sad
For what I never had
Nothing equals nothing

Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I'll be gone
Before it happens

Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won't be broken again
I won't
I won't fall apart
Dream away your life
Dream away your dream
Nothing equals nothing

Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I'll be gone
Before it happens

Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I'll be gone

Sunday comes alone again
A perfect day for a quiet friend
And you, you will set it free

I see new morning 'round your face
Everybody says it's another phase
And now, now it's come to me

See the magic in your eyes
I see it come as no surprise
And you, you turn your eyes away
Yeah you, you turn it all away

I guess its true its never too late
Still I don't know what to do today
Oh why can't I set you free?
Will you do the same for me?

Sunday comes and Sunday goes
Sunday always seems to move so slow
To me, and here she comes again

A perfect ending to a perfect day
A perfect ending, what can I say
To you, lonely Sunday friend
With you, Sunday never ends

He shakes his death rattle
Spittle on his bib
I don't do the dishes
I throw them in the crib

I've eaten you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick

I've stumbled here
Failed to make it mine
They say I'm plump
But I throw up all the time

I've eaten you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick

Do you fake it for me like I
Do you fake it for me like I
Do you fake it for me like I

My baby's in her arms
Crawling up her legs
Like a liar at a witch trial
You look good for your age

I've eaten you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick

Here you come sucking my energy
And you suck it up right off the street
Babydoll
Here you are sucking my energy right up
Drill it in my good hole so that I can see
You are so much bigger than me
You are so much bigger than me in a
Babydoll

My raw hand, my fever blister, watch me, watch me
Watch me disappear
Here she comes, her pants undone
All waste and void, all waste and void

There you go in your Nazi car
Oh babydoll, what a whore you are
You sit around with your old rag
How can I talk when you've got the gag?
Here you come sucking my energy
And you suck it up, baby, right off the street
Babydoll
In the dark I destroy
What I began, what I destroy
She's hanging in the blossom tree
Babydoll just bleeds for me
Babydoll

Babydoll, she's on the field
Her chemical wedding, her chemical peel
I knife me and I slash mine
And I knife me and I slash mine

Sick and sorry me, well, here you are as ugly as me
Drill it in my good hole so that I can see
Drill it in my good hole so that I can see
Here you come sucking my energy
And you suck it up, baby, right off the street
Babydoll
She stares too long into the sun
Now I want a cancer that the crooked eye spun for you
I don't mind my energy
'Cause baby, you are so much bigger than me
Babydoll

Little girl, she's on the floor
She gets it all cause she's the whore
Little girl, she's on the ground
She gets it all for falling, falling down
Falling down
"I am, I am," she says
"I am not free," she says
"Help me, I am withering, withering, withering."
Hang on, you'll get your soul
It's a soul
Hey it's a soul, it comes down
See, see it's a soul

There's something in the air here
Makes you go insane
Brings you back to me
It's been so long
All's I have to do is live along
It's coming, coming down over me
Do you want to see the explosions in my eye?
Do you want to see
The reflection of how it used to be
Beauty lies in the eyes of another's dream
Beauty lies lost in another's dream
It's coming, coming down over me
Do you want to see the explosions in my eye?
Do you want to see
The reflection of how it used to be
Hey baby
Hey sweetheart
Hey fox, come here
Hey beautiful
Come here sugar

Madonna - Has To Be

Breathe in, breathe out
I say a little prayer
How the gods above
Could be so unfair

I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be

Go on, go on
Don't sit there like a fool
You've graduated from
A different kind of school

I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be

I should be glad that I'm alive
It could have been much worse
I might have never loved at all
And never known what I am worth
How the gods above
Could be so unfair

I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be

Marnie - The Wind Breezes On / Sugarland

The Wind Breezes On

Well I got a secret
He told me it was sacred
Kick off your shoes and lay back
Today's not the day to show the cracks
Lift your head up, hold it now
Remember what the others say
Fear of the future's much too loud
What's there for you won't go running away
The wind breezes on
Like thoughts I can rely on
The birds sing their song
While I figure out where I went wrong
I heard the others say
And watched them with their worry
Then turned and walked away
The wind it breezes on
I'll hold my breath so tightly
And run till it's OK

Sugarland

Do you ever hold the flame?
Leave a light on
Will we recall their names?
Leave a light on
Deserter frequencies
There's no escape
Did we forget about fatality?
Where the wheels keep turning
In sugarland
We've lost control in all this urgency
And the fires keep burning
In sugarland
Our voyeurism won't ever set us free
A state emergency, not for you or me
Did we forget about fatality?
Where the wheels keep turning
In sugarland
We've lost control in all this urgency
And the fires keep burning
In sugarland
Come to me
Why won't you come to me
In sugarland

suede. you always felt like suede.
there are days I feel your twin.
peekaboo. hiding underneath your skin.
jets. are revving yes revving
from a central source and this.
has power over me. not because you feel
something or don't feel something
for me but because.
mass. so big. it can swallow swallow
her whole star intact.

call me 'evil' call me 'tide is on your side'
anything that you want.
anybody knows you can conjure anything
by the dark of the moon. boy.
and if you keep your silence
silencer on you'll talk yourself
right into a job. out of a hole. into my
bayou.

suede. I'm sure that you've been briefed
my absorbtion lines. they are frayed
and I fear. my fear is greater than my faith
but I walk. the missionary way.
you always felt like suede.
there are days I am your twin. peekaboo.
hiding underneath your skin.
jets. are revving yes revving
from an ether twist.

call me 'evil' call me 'tide is on your side'
anything that you want.
anybody knows you can conjure anything
by the dark of the moon. boy.
and if you keep your silence
silencer on you'll talk yourself
right into a job. out of a hole. into my
bayou.

suede. you'll forgive me one day.

Joni Mitchell - Harrys House/Centerpiece

Heatwaves on the runway
As the wheels set down
He takes his baggage off the carousel
He takes a taxi into town
Yellow schools of taxi fishes
Jonah in a ticking whale
Caught up at the light in the fishnet windows
Of Bloomingdale's
Watching those high fashion girls
Skinny black models with raven curls
Beauty parlor blondes with credit card eyes
Looking for the chic and the fancy to buy

He opens up his suitcase
In the continental suite
And people twenty stories down
Colored currents in the street
A helicopter lands on the Pan Am roof
Like a dragonfly on a tomb
And business men in button downs
Press into conference rooms
Battalions of paper minded males
Talking commodities and sales
While at home their paper wives
And paper kids
Paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid

Yellow checkers for the kitchen
Climbing ivy for the bath
She is lost in House and Gardens
He's caught up in Chief of Staff
He drifts off into the memory
Of the way she looked in school
With her body oiled and shining
At the public swimming pool ...

... Shining hair and shining skin
Shining as she reeled him in
To tell him like she did today
Just what he could do with Harry's House
And Harry's take home pay

Joni Mitchell - Shades of Scarlett Conquering

sonicboy19 2019-03-03 | written & produced by Joni Mitchell | from the album The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (1975) | film clips from A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) directed by Elia Kazan | additional a/v post-production & editing by sonicboy19 | lyrics:

Out of the fire like Catholic saints
Comes Scarlett and her deep complaint
Mimicking tenderness she sees
In sentimental movies
A celluloid rider comes to town
Cinematic lovers sway
Plantations and sweeping ballroom gowns
Take her breath away

Out in the wind in crinolines
Chasing the ghosts of Gable and Flynn
Through stand-in boys and extra players
Magnolias hopeful in her auburn hair
She comes from a school of southern charm
She likes to have things her way
Any man in the world holding out his arm
Would soon be made to pay

Friends have told her 'not so proud'
Neighbors trying to sleep and yelling 'not so loud'
Lovers in anger 'Block of Ice'
Harder and harder just to be nice
Given in the night to dark dreams
From the dark things she feels
She covers her eyes in the x-rated scenes
Running from the reels

Beauty and madness to be praised
'Cause it is not easy to be brave
To walk around in so much need
To carry the weight of all that greed
Dressed in stolen clothes she stands
Cast iron and frail
With her impossibly gentle hands
And her blood-red fingernails

Out of the fire and still smoldering
She says "A woman must have everything"
Shades of Scarlett Conquering
She says "A woman must have everything"

Siouxsie and the Banshees - This Wheels On Fire

sonicboy19 2019-01-14 | written by Bob Dylan & Rick Danko | produced by Siouxsie & The Banshees with Mike Hedges | from the album Through The Looking Glass (1987) | video directed by Clive Richardson | lyrics:

If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well

Wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was going to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well

Wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember that you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get your favours done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
And you knew that we would meet again
If your memory served you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

Joni Mitchell - Coyote (Live 1976)

sonicboy19 2019-01-13 | performed with The Band | from the film The Last Waltz (1978) directed by Martin Scorsese | original version from the album Hejira (1976) | written & produced by Joni Mitchell | lyrics:

No regrets Coyote
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
I'm up all night in the studios
And you're up early on your ranch
You'll be brushing out a brood mare's tail
While the sun is ascending
And I'll just be getting home with my reel to reel
There's no comprehending
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
And the lips you can get
And still feel so alone
And still feel related
Like stations in some relay
You're not a hit and run driver no no
Racing away
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

We saw a farmhouse burning down
In the middle of nowhere
In the middle of the night
And we rolled right past that tragedy
Till we turned into some road house lights
Where a local band was playing
Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor
And the next thing I know
That coyote's at my door
He pins me in a corner and he won't take no
He drags me out on the dance floor
And we're dancing close and slow
Now he's got a woman at home
He's got another woman down the hall
He seems to want me anyway
Why'd you have to get so drunk
And lead me on that way
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

I looked a coyote right in the face
On the road to Baljennie near my old home town
He went running thru the whisker wheat
Chasing some prize down
And a hawk was playing with him
Coyote was jumping straight up and making passes
He had those same eyes just like yours
Under your dark glasses
Privately probing the public rooms
And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors
Where the players lick their wounds
And take their temporary lovers
And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play
No regrets Coyote
I'll just get off up aways
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

Coyote's in the coffee shop
He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
He picks up my scent on his fingers
While he's watching the waitresses' legs
He's too far from the Bay of Fundy
From appaloosas and eagles and tides
And the air conditioned cubicles
And the carbon ribbon rides
Are spelling it out so clear
Either he's going to have to stand and fight
Or take off out of here
I tried to run away myself
To run away and wrestle with my ego
And with this flame
You put here in this Eskimo
In this hitcher
In this prisoner
Of the fine white lines
Of the white lines on the free free way

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
In flames our prophet witches
Be polite
A room full of glasses
He says "Your notches, liberation doll"
And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wall

Anima rising
Queen of Queens
Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me
Anima rising
Uprising in me tonight
She's a vengeful little goddess
With an ancient crown to fight

Truth goes up in vapors
The steeples lean
Winds of change patriarchs
Snug in your bible belt dreams
God goes up the chimney
Like childhood Santa Claus
The good slaves love the good book
A rebel loves a cause

I'm leaving on the 1:15
You're darn right
Since I was seventeen
I've had no one over me
He says "Anima rising
So what
Petrified wood process
Tall timber down to rock"

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
He says "We walked on the moon
You be polite"
Don't let up the sorrow
Death and birth and death and birth
He says "Bring that bottle kindly
And I'll pad your purse
I've got a head full of quandary
And a mighty mighty thirst"

Seventeen glasses
Rhine wine
Milk of the Madonna
Clandestine
He don't let up the sorrow
He lies and he cheats
It takes a heart like Mary's these days
When your man gets weak

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?

It's funny
I spent my whole life
Wanting to be talked about
I did it
Just about everything
To see my name in lights
Was it all worth it?
And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserved it

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?

It's funny
How everybody mentions my name
But they're never very nice
I took it
Just about everything
Except my own advice
Was it all worth it?
How did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserve this

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?

How high?
Does it make a difference?
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
Should I?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Nothing lasts forever.
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?

How high are the stakes?
Does it make a difference?
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
Should I?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?

How high?
Does it make a difference?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?

Look before you leap, okay?
Do you read me?
May all your dreams come true
He's standing by the door
He's got something in his hands
All the money's gone
All the money's gone
The days we spend go on and on
Shift
Fucking youth
Working youth
May all your dreams come true
A lot of people suffer
From impotence
All the money's gone
The days we spend go on and on
Fucking youth
Working youth
Fucking youth
Working youth
Fucking youth
Working youth
Do you read me?

Look at you
An accident of drinking
What a mess
A train wreck of lipstick
What a joke, but do you hear me laughing?
Get out my face, before I lose my patience
Now me and you, let's cut this party
Little boy, it takes a lot to shake me
So shake it

It's the battle in me
It's the battle in you

It's a bloody war of attrition
Let's see which one of us is going to last the night
'Cause I have all of my wits about me
And I'll be damned if I'm done
White rabbit plays right when the room starts spinning
Make it hard, I want something to happen
So make it happen!

It's the battle in me
It's the battle in you

Let's take a torch
To the past and the future
And let's make out
I won't tell your girlfriend
See how it feels with a passion burning
We'll be damned when we're done

Shake it, shake it
Shake it off

'Cause it's the battle in me
It's the battle in you

Shake it, shake it
Shake it off

Hurry up, I just can't wait
I gotta do it now I can't be late
I know I'm not afraid I gotta get out the door
If I don't do it now I won't get anymore
You try to criticize my drive
If I lose I don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game it's how you play
And if I fall I get up again now

I get up again
Over and over

Got past my first mistake
I'll only give as much as I can take
You're never gonna see me standing still
I'm never gonna stop till I get my fill
It doesn't matter who you are
It's what you do that takes you far
And if at first you don't succeed
Here's some advice that you should heed

You get up again
Over and over

I'm not afraid to say I hear a different beat
And I'll go out in the street
And I will shout it again
From the highest mountain

Hurry up!

Hurry up, I just can't wait
I gotta do it now I can't be late
I know I'm not afraid I gotta get out the door
If I don't do it now I won't get any more
You try to criticize my drive
If I lose I don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game it's how you play
And if I fall I get up again now

I get up again
Over and over

I'm not afraid to say I hear a different beat
And I'll go out in the street, yeah!
And I will shout it again
From the highest mountain

Shout it!
Over and over

I get up again
Over and over
