BUZZCOCKS - "Everybody's Happy Nowadays"

I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion love is a dream
But I don't know what it is

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion love is a dream
But I don't know what it is 'cos

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Life's an illusion love is the dream
But I don't know what it is
Everyone's saying things to me
But I know it's okay okay

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Life's an illusion love is a dream
Life's an illusion love is the dream
Life's the illusion love is a dream
Life's the illusion love is the dream

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
Todays are good

Bet you are tired of being upset
Always wanting something you never can get
Life's no illusion love's not a dream
Now I know just what it is

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

WEEZER - "The Spider"

There's a spider on the drain and he's feeling pain
And he doesn't want to die any more than you or I
He's struggling to live but he doesn't have much time
Any more than you or I, you or I

We've got to die, we've got to live
We got to take what we can get
We sell ourselves for petty change
And when we die we rearrange
It's time to take it back again
It's time to take it back again
I want you to love me like I love you

There's nothing more for me to say
I spoke my piece I'll go on my way
And fare thee well where'er you go
You might need help but I won't know
Cuz I'm up in here in my own cell
It could be heaven it could be hell
We'll never know just who we are
Cuz when we die we become a star
And stars can't talk because they have
No mouth to speak about their past
They simply shine up in the sky
And give their light to you and I
And where would we be without their light
We'd call out names and then start a fight
But then again that's what we do
I hate me and I hate you too
Cuz I'm in pain just like the spider
In the drain, I am a fighter
But I can't win I've got to lose
Give me strength to see me through
And ease the pain that I must feel
As my bones break and I taste the steel
As I go down ...the drain...
I'm insane

Historic day for the US. Thanks SCOTUS.

VOODOO GLOW SKULLS - "Steady As She Goes"

We're the ones that had to sail the course
The course of friendship and trust, of course
Always heading for the eye of the storm
Getting stuck in one way, shape or form

Like an army we followed your lead
We cried with you and we watched you bleed
Loyalty at its ultimate
We paid our dues and this is what we get?

There was a time when we were family
We looked after you, and you looked after we
We flew your flag and defended it
But like a blind man you just ignored it

Through heavy rain
Through all the pain
Through heavy winds
Through all our sins
We hold her steady!
We hold her steady!
We hold her steady!

STEADY AS SHE GOES

We've stood our time, and only time will tell
For awhile you had us under a spell
Now it's broken, and you can go to hell
We're tired of you pissing in our wishing well

Friendship comes and friendship goes
Where it stops nobody knows

DEAD MILKMEN - "Methodist Coloring Book"

[Dean:] Hey there's a big airplane goin' by.
[Rodney:] Get it! Go! Go!
[Some Recording Guy:] It's on the track
[Rodney:] Leave it! Get it on the track!
[Joe:] Get it! Get it! Catch it!
[Dean:] I got it :)

You've got a methodist coloring book
And you color really well
But don't color outside the lines
Or God will send you to Hell
'Cause God hates war
And God hates crime
A' but he really hates people
Who color outside the lines

You've got a methodist coloring book
Don't color outside the lines
'Cause if God doesn't strike you with lightning
He'll at least make you go blind
Good people get sent to the attic
Bad people will roast in the cellar
But there's a special kind a' Hell
For those who just won't learn to color

God is gracious, God is good
So let's color in his book
God wears cotton, God wears rayon
He can mend a broken crayon
God is honest, He don't take payola
Let's all thank him for our Crayolas!

You got a methodist coloring book! [x3]
(ah..oh..oh) [x2]
You got a methodist coloring book! [x3]
(oh..oh..oh.. [a very emotional performance])

You've got a methodist coloring book
And you color really well
But don't color out side the lines
Or God will send you to Hell

An exceedingly rare capture of coordinated good behavior - clearly treat induced.

THE NEW AMSTERDAMS - "Never Treat Others"

You can run from the sorrow
And all that you lose is the chance to make peace with the path that you choose
Little apple, I’m sure, is as small as you think
Bitter reminder the drown is in the drink
I admit I regret that I need you
I’m depressed, you're the mess that I looked up to
I retract every word that I say
I swear, I’ll never treat others
I sweat, I’ll never treat others that way
Maybe this isn't anything like it should be
You’d be humble and famous, it falls perfectly
I have made some decisions, choices you make
Then I see, to my error, I’ve made a mistake
I admit, I regret, that I need you
I’m depressed, you're the mess that i looked up to
I retract every word that i say
I swear I never treat others
I swear, I never treat others
I swear I will never treat others
Don’t open your mouth
Don’t worry about it
If I was in your place I’d never allow it
I admit, I regret, I need you
I’m depressed, you're the mess that I looked up to
I retract every word that I say
I swear I never treat others
I swear, I never treat others that way.

Via Flickr:
Tropical Storm Debby has left these ladders temporarily unnecessary. I have lots of tree limbs down - hoping I don't lose any trees.

BRIGHT EYES - "Ladder Song"

No one knows where the ladder goes.
You're gonna lose what you love the most.
You're not alone in anything.
You're not unique in dying.
Feel estranged every now and then.
Fall asleep reading science fiction.
I wanna fly in your silver ship.
Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit.
It's on now.
The days are long now.
The ups and the sun downs, in a twisted mind.
If I got to go first.
I'll do it on my terms.
I'm tired of traitors, always changing sides.
They were friends of mine.
Don't hang around once the promise breaks.
You'll be there when the next one's made.
Kiss the feet of a charlatan.
Some imagine freedom.
All the rest is predictable.
You can say you're the first to know.
Bought a mantra to concentrate.
Car alarm or hissing snake.
I know now. How its going to turn now.
You gotta calm down, or Ill lose my place.
Gotta get to the center.
Gotta get to the concert.
Run off with a dancer.
Gonna celebrate.
Welcome the new age.
Covered in all your pain.
Lights from the jungle to the sky.
See now a star's born.
Looks just like a blood orange.
Don't it just make ya want to cry?
Precious friend of mine.
Well I know when its finally done.
This whole life is a hallucination.
You're not alone in anything.
You're not alone in trying to be.

A tropical depression is causing flooding all over FL. This is the Hillsborough River in Rivercrest Park with water lapping the top of the deck - here's what it looked like a few months ago at high tide for comparison value: www.flickr.com/photos/elawgrrl/6906020142/in/set-72157628.... I'm hoping for a quiet storm season.

PASSION PIT - "Swimming In The Flood"

My eyes have once again been proven wrong
Your clouds, your blanket and my pity song
Hovering on your front lawn
Carry on until it's gone

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up

Then I lie naked in a rampage
In the flesh, face to face with the onset
I forget everything that's ever made me
Rise again
Now slowly leave my memory

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up
Now all my lovers raise their cups

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up
Now all my lovers raise their cups
