"Home"

 (Air 'Around The Golf' Remix)

Depeche Mode

Here is a song from the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
And it pounds from within and is pinning me down

 

Here is a page from the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid

 

And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here

 

The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat

 

And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong

 

Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath

 

God send the only true friend I call mine
Pretend that I'll make amends the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line

And I thank you for bringing me here

For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here

"Miles Away/The Truth Is"

 

Depeche Mode

It's one of those conversations
We've we've had them before

 

The ones that leave you empty
And wanting for more

 

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is:

 

You're miles away [Repeat: x3]

 

Excuse me for my hesitation
Have I met you before
Your face seems so familiar
And longing for more

 

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand

 

Your eyes they hold the truth
And a truth is

 

You're miles away [Repeat: x3]

 

With all your superstitions
And empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive

 

Life it has its limitations
We all have our needs
Love could be the only answer
It lies underneath

 

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand

Your eyes they hold the truth
And a truth is

You're miles away [Repeat: x3]

"Fly on the Windscreen"

 

Depeche Mode

Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen

For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight

Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Death is everywhere

The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight
Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)

There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen

Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)
Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)

"Eye in the Sky"

 

Alan Parsons,

Don't think sorry is easily said
Don't try turning tables instead

You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me

The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you

I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more

To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

 

(chorus)

Songwriters: ALAN PARSONS, ERIC WOOLFSON

"Just Can't Get Enough"

 

Depeche Mode

When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

 

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

We walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

 

It's getting hotter
It's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

I just can't seem to get enough
I just can't seem to get enough

 

And when it rains
You're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

 

You're like an angel
And you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

Everybody Needs

 some reason or other
You'll find a reason

Everybody needs some reason or other

"In Chains"

 

Depeche Mode

The way you move
Has got me yearning
The way you move
Has left me burning

I know you know what you're doing to me
I know my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be
In chains

 

The way you move
Is meant to haunt me
The way you move
To tempt and taunt me

I know you knew on the day you were born
I know somehow I should've been warned
I know I walk every midnight to dawn
In Chains

 

In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains

 

You've got me dying for you
Its you that I'm living through

You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My souls beseeching me too

You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to

 

The way you move
Is mesmerizing
The way you move
Is hypnotizing

I know I crumble when you are around
Start to mumble a bit of a false sound
Straggle, stumble, shackled and bound
In chains
 

In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains

 

You've got me dying for you
Its you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My souls beseeching me too

You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to

I'm in chains

 

In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains

"The Bottom Line"

 

Depeche Mode

Like a cat dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out and do it all over again
I'll be back for more

Something that is out of our hands
Something we will never understand

It's a hidden law
The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you

Like a pawn on the eternal board

Who's never quite sure what he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive it's gone

 

The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you
I'm yearning I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning

 

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night

I'm dying to
The sun will shine
The bottom line

I follow you

I'm yearning I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning
Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night

I'm dying to
The sun will shine
The bottom line

I follow you
The sun will shine

The bottom line
I follow you

"The Things You Said"

 

Depeche Mode

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said

But they know me better than that
They know me better than that

They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
I never denied them

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said

How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses
You tried them

I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth

I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said

I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed

They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
Thought that you liked them
They know me better than that

"Behind the Wheel"

 

Depeche Mode

My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care

Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate

Now
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel

Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything

Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger

Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap

Tonight
You're behind the wheel, tonight

"Pleasure, Little Treasure"

 

Depeche Mode

Everybody's looking for someone to follow
Finding the whole thing hard to swallow
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

 

Everybody's looking for a new sensation
Everybody's talking about the state of the nation
Everybody's searching for a promised land
Everybody's failing to understand
Pleasure, little treasure

 

Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

 

Maternity frocks and paternity suits
If that's what you want
They're waiting for you
Everybody needs some reason or other
You'll find a reason when you discover
Pleasure, little treasure

 

Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

IT'S Starring Us

in the face yet many
refuse to see It 4 now.

As They Take

more & more there
is  less belief in us
@ Her expense & ours.

An Unsolicited

 'I don't care' is u
fighting you, even
though u know it's
The wrong thing
to say while Be-ing
         so don't.

Frequent Pretend

is not Fun
for every 1.

Coming Home

to U is coming
home to her.

We Swore

never again, again
         but
did we ever begin
to understand ITd?.

It's Never Too

late to change
the road -orbit
u are on while
Be-ing.

Gifts Come

with responsibility
while Be-ing.

Hope Your Heart

smiles more often?.

Regardless Of How

high or low we go
its kaleidoscope of
fractals of the 1 in
the now.

Their Tax Cuts

Are our austerity
           so
for us less is less
           but
for Them less Is
           more.

Cold Eyes

are The reflection
of a cold (lacking)
heart, but hey if
you want to claw
away to see for
u, claw away

The key is to learn
to See between the
pages of A Look.

Some Of Us

had to learn to
walk again so
that we could
continue to stumble
in our footsteps (prints).

Survival IS The

fatal weakness
in The fatal attraction
we call Being.

"...You Wear Guilt

like shackles on
your feet, a halo
in reverse..."
Depeche Mode

Ayn Rand

said there is no
such Thing as
Society, just a
collection of
individuals un-
like the rest of
Her & Her Nature.
      Amazing.

Many Wrongly

equate IQ
with $'s
when they
are inverse.

Scum Like

cream rise to the
top, the issue is
that there is Far
more scum.

The Mist Of

illusions are cloaks
of da-light that Fear
facts / Reality / Her
so build moats of
Feelings to keep out
the anti-matter of 1 Truth?.

If We Try

to help just 1
somebody sans
conditions It will
Be better 4 us.

The 1 You

hear calling you
is u calling u home
so you can Be all
you can Be while
Being.

"Master and Servant"

 

Depeche Mode

It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot, like life

 

There's a new game we like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees

 

We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant

It's a lot like life

This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

 

It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one

 

Domination's the name of the game in bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day

 

Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

Master and servant

It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot, like life
It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot, master and servant
It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot, like life

 

It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling from disposable fun
Then this is the one

 

Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant

"In Your Room"

 

Depeche Mode

In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favorite darkness?

Your favorite half-light
Your favorite consciousness
Your favorite slave

 

In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here

Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here?

Your favorite innocence
Your favorite prize
Your favorite smile
Your favorite slave

 

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

 

In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here?

Your favorite passion
Your favorite game
Your favorite mirror
Your favorite slave

 

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

 

Will I always be here?

"Policy of Truth"

 

Depeche Mode

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you

Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through

It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized

You will always (not) wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied

It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well

Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell

You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

(the time before is the Now)

"Enjoy The Silence"

 

Depeche Mode

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand?

Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken

Feelings are intense
Words (facts)  are trivial

Pleasures remain
So does the pain

Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

"Condemnation"

 

Depeche Mode

Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
Truth on my side

 

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

 

If for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize

If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

 

Condemnation
Why?
Because my duty
Was always to beauty (Her)
That was my crime

 

Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time

 

If you see purity
As immaturity
Well, it's no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

"Everything Counts" ('til nothing matters)

 

Depeche Mode

The handshake seals the contract from the contract
There's no turning back
The turning point of a career in Korea, being insincere
The holiday was fun packed
The contract still intact

 

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves after all
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves after all

 

It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts

The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now

See just how the lies and deceit
Gained a little more power
Confidence taken in by a sun tan and a grin

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves after all

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves after all

It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

Everything, everything
Everything, everything

The grabbing hands

Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus

Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver

(to be a believer u must be the receiver)

I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess

 

I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out reach out
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

The Theory

of democracy is 1
of checks & balances
but when $'s check-
mate the balances
it's just BS like
less is more.

The 1st Weapon

of Mass Destruction
is Us (greed of & 4
the illusion of Wealth)
from which the
rest follows.

Tranquility / Bliss

based on ignorance
is ? ? ? but neither
can last more than
A moment but That
( @ the moment) is
all there Is & we
decide how to Be It
            Her
             or
             us.

To Those Who

say 'hey look @ me'
we say ya Look @ you?

The Sun (star)

in our eyes
shines differently.

We Want To

believe some of
their lies even
while All the signs
are deceiving?.
Alan Parsons

We Need To Get

to It cuz time 'n
place (space) is
Now @ & 4 the
moment.

Those Who Think (believe)

sorry is easily said
should turn the tables
instead but then had we
done so sorry would Not
need to be said cuz you
were a care'n Being.

Peacocks Can't

not Be but then
many of us can't
/ won't either, sans
the feathers / beauty
         just
    arrogance.

To Desire An

idyllic Life
is to have a
dream within
a dream
     or
hope-less.

Those Standing

next to us are often
miles away while
some 1 miles away
are right the(i)re but
Only in our reality
Not Hers?. but wait
we are of She.

There Are ??

states of consciousness, Being
/ minds & yet only 1- Hers.

& 4 Some

it's Not 'bout s struggle
between love & hate but
rather between love &
Being.

4 Many It's

'bout gathering up
The Fears as they
flow out behind
us like a con-trail.

Every Being

is dedicated to
their kind or
bee-ism, ant-ism
or social-ism or
1-ism?? while
Being.

Much Does Not

function as It Should
cuz it's profitable for
it Not to & that which
is profitable should Not
Be from Her perspective.

It's Way Too

easy to substitute
blindness for kindness.

Those On The

edge are being pushed
over by the mass of us
rowing just behind
            but
that is the only outcome
when steam pressure builds
sans a release valve be it
political, legal / societal
             it's
rushing down the rabbit hole
of insatiable greed.

We Should Try

to illuminate
the corners of
or mind.

@ Best SHE

is an after thought
If @ all.

IT Ain't Easy

I know But you
just have to let It go
if u can't change It.

The Only

justification in the
all right we do is
in what we believe.

False Illusions

are those We create
Hers are real only from
our perspective.

Spending The Now

to remember when
does not make It
more a part of u
it just is.

Time Loses

our time.

It's Likely That

we will never know
why we are in this
place / space in time
or how we came.
Alan Parsons

Rock The Night

away & dance
into day.
Q

The Language

of logical kindness
= Peace & the
language of life
= love from which
It can flow.

The Sands

in the dim
mist of time
keep run'n.

Poverty Is

Profit-able.

Subjugation Called

help, aid, charity,
etc. still is to those
we could help.

True Truth

like windmills
blow on the wind
just ask Don Quixote.
 

The Best Way

to stop kindness, caring,
bliss, tranquility, love, etc.
thieves is to try to Be It.

The 1st Thing

to do is try to
understand IT.

If You

can't be True
to u than who??

Why Do We

find it odd to
find IT's alot
like life??

It's Not Likely

that we choose
to Be but How
we Be is us
     it's
called being
Hue-man.

Try Not To

be blinded by
what Appears
to be Real - just
remember Your
Eyes Their Vision.

To Think

about IT it's
just a ? of Time.

'They' Want to

Increase spending
on a Cold War that
supposedly ended
25+ yrs ago, so either
It is Colder or We
End When We
Start to???.

oh ya & HER Too.

Sans Morality

/ empathy we
too are just
Like an a-
moral robot.

It's Difficult

to like any
thing or 1 if
you don't like u
       just
don't surround
your self with
yourself.

Open Your

heart cuz you are
coming Home to
u & it's not fantaz.

Much Of Our

hue-manism is
subsumed by
fear, blame, hate
of the other under
the cover of color
of $'s.

The Worms

of propaganda /
hate & blame
are just waiting
to eat into our
brain.

Our Lips Don't

move yet we can
hear what we say
        or
just comfortably
numb.

HER World Is

The Real World
the 1 u Be in is
???? etc yet we
believe Ours Is
better than hers
which can appear
to be true for ???.

The More Fun

we have by
Seeing the
funnier it Is
 - sadly.

Just Hangon

to FUN, it's there
but we Must see it.

Depeche Mode

Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television

Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you crying
Just for me

Does Depth

count as a measure
of alot or count @ all??

We Can't Be

anything but a
& the reflection
of all of us &
$'s are good camou
4 the moment.

Those Who Are

Afraid to reflect
in their mirror
create boogiemen
to make & keep us
Afraid of ???. (them)

The Day Has

a better chance
of rhyming if
we start with
a few tunes
      or
a tune up.

We Can't Do

our part when
we are Not all
we Can Be so
Let It Go.

The Pain Lives

on long after
the hurt cuz
we won't let
It go & just
continue to
hurt our self
by Not Being
U so un-lock
your cage &
step onto the
Stage & do your
part while Being.

"When We

start is where
we end".
David Gilmour

Perhaps Our Need

to Not let It Show
results in our need
for martyrs / sacrifice
         or
at least the need to believe
it is so..

For Those Who

expect common curtesy
while trying to Be love
will find IT where u
find common sense
       Thank
        You
     for care'n.

THE Only Feeling

that matters Is
the 1 @ & 4
the moment cuz
That's All We
ever had, have or
might.

We Can't Try

to be love &
keep score it's
either or not each.

Fascism Is

cloaked in various
garb i.e. despots,
econ control, racism,
totalitarianism, dictator-
ship of any kind for any
excuse no matter what
IT is called or believed.

Those Who Don't

let It show often
do so cuz you were
hurt emotionally, but
by doing so U hurt you
by preventing U from
Being all you can Be
& hey it just could help
1 The other & u can feel
better??.

"Don't Let It Show"

Don't Let It Show

Alan Parsons

If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go

 

And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me

 

Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show

 

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there

 

But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you

 

Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show

(if you don't let IT show u can't be all u can be)

Songwriters: ALAN PARSONS, ERIC WOOLFSON

Our Choice

Their decision.

"Freestate"

 

Depeche Mode

I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation

 

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show

 

Picking up the conversation
Deep in your imagination
Tune into the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices

 

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow

 

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It'time to start
Playing your part

Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

 

I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation

 

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow

 

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part

Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

"Wrong"

 

Depeche Mode

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

 

Wrong

Wrong

 

There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means

It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
With the wrong theory for the wrong man

The wrong lies, on the wrong vibes
The wrong questions with the wrong replies

 

Wrong

Wrong

 

I was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines
And the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity

I was on the wrong page of the wrong book
With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook
Made the wrong move, every wrong night
With the wrong tune played till it sounded right yeah

 

Wrong

Wrong

 

Too long

Wrong

 

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy

I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme

On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong

Logic Is Random

"I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You"

 

Alan Parsons

If I had a mind to
I wouldn't wanna think like you
And if I had a time to
I wouldn't wanna talk to you

 

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

 

If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi

 

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

 

Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed

 

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

(cuz I was & didn't like it)

Being Requires

that we are in the

"There's No Way out of Here"

 

David Gilmour

 

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took

 

There are no boundaries set
The time and yet
You waste it still

So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go

 

There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost

So get it right
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

 

There never was there an answer
There an answer
Not without listening
Without seeing

 

There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in

There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took

 

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

 

There never was there an answer
There an answer
Not without listening
Without seeing

 

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took

There's no way out of here

When you come in
You're in for good
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

The Only Voice

that matters
is Hers & Her
name is not Siri
But Destiny.

Usually Believed

We would find us
now that we have
I can't find out
'bout u.

Understanding HER

requires understanding
logic & It's language math
She cares not if or how we
feel but when she takes the
Choice We Won't have 1.

Appears That

we have no choice in
Being but a Huge
choice in how to BE
while Being hue-man.

Those Thousands

of mile take decisions
that (a)effect you &
they can be right next
To u.

"Some Other Time"

 

Alan Parsons

In a matter of a moment
Lost till the end of time
It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine

 

Now the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes
'Till it disappears

 

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

 

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

 

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

 

Like a mirror held before me
Large as the sky is wide
And the image is reflected
Back to the other side

 

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

 

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

 

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

"Running Water"

Moody Blues

 

Time hurries on, look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live, the dreams that die
If I could have you by my side, I'd give it all away

 

You, you and I, we must hold on, we must try
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road we're travellin' now
If I could only show you how, I need you there with me

The Smarter We

believe we are
the dumber we is.

If & When

you hear Her
voice had no
choice, knew
which way to go
it's just takes
some 1 to help
some 1, cuz
it's a start.
Moody Blues

Far Too Many

homes are catacombs
where the dead are but
momentarily motionless.
Alan Parsons

There Could Be

Earth 2.0 but it's
a bit far @ 1400 light
years away & 1 light
year is 6 Trillion miles

The Apearance

of balance (false
equivalencies &
alternate facts
is largely why
we are so un-
balanced.

The Out There

home is a stairway
to heaven on the wind.

We Can't Be

illusioned &
grounded con-
currently even
though We don't
Believe It.

Just As Robots

are in Our image
& way of being,
ever wonder what
or who's image r we.

ALL Life Has

a burst of energy
just prior to their
going out & that's
true from super nova
to quanta.  That's
what happens when
energy changes orbit,
it's what we call a
quantum leap.

Perhaps My Useless

advice & hanging 'round
will expedite your ability
to get un-stuck along the
road of Being & find your
way home to u.

It just took 7 decades
but then I'm alot slow.
Depeche Mode

The Only

apology for honesty
is to open your eyes.
Depeche Mode

From HER

perspective we
are all criminals.

Whereever We Look

we see $ despots
hence our desperation
caught between
malice & incompetence.

Robots Running

AI (artificial
intelligence)
are very much
like many of us
as they  & us
are incapable
of empathy &
not very smart
      but
hey we made
Them in our
image.

"Strangelove"

 

Depeche Mode

There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin (being)
Because you have to make this life livable

 

But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another river full
Yes, and I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

 

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me?

 

Will you take the pain
I will give to you?
Again and again
And will you return it?

 

There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach

 

I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

 

Pain, will you return it?
I'll say it again, pain
Pain, will you return it?
I'll say it again, pain

Pain, will you return it?
I'll say it again, pain
Pain, will you return it?
I won't say it again

 

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me?

 

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me?

 

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me?

 

I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to me?

I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in

Silence"

It's Nice To

know u are out
there even if you
are miles away.

Sans Pain

there is No
pleasure but
Not 'til it's
chronic, call
it the other the
other side of
morning.

Our Reality

should try to
sync up with
Hers.

We All Stumble

walking in our or
no shoes but then
we couldn't un-stumble.

Can We Ever

manifest should/could
be's into our Being?

We Have Been

too wrong
for far too
long.

Idealism Is Fine

as long as it
is based on
reality not
illusion.

The Cure For

Medicare for all
is Medicare for none.

Being Is To

be in the
danger zone

The fatal
attraction.

There Is No

appointment sans
dis-appointment.

Seems As If

we could do better
@ being hue-man
while Being??

We Can Stand

shoulder to
shoulder &
miles away
@ the moment.

We Are Blinded

by sight, sounds,
etc., in a word
Beliefs for which
we must be the
receiver / believer.

The ? Is not

is the Cosmos
full of life rather
how could It Not
be while we are
Being??.

While Being We

believe in being
in control when
the fact is it's all
random precision
@ & for the moment
         @
least from our view.

We Confuse

influence for control
& She knows It.

It's Highly

unlikely that
entwined hearts
ever become un-
entwined just misty
in mist of time.

We Hold Tightly

to the flotsun
& jetsum or
wreckage of
the idea of love.

Rattle That Lock

& lose those chains
in our head so
lets get to it.
David Gilmour

@ Times All

we can do is
answer whatever
with a sigh.

The Face You

Out Of The Dim

mist of time saw
tour shadow coming
closer & drifting away.
Alan Parsons

As Large As

our shadow appears
in an oblique sun
pales to size of their
ego; Shine on.

Our Signifcant

other is a familiar
stranger we think
of as a friend in
both directions.

Reality Haunts

based on fantaz.

weep for the poor

"Don't Answer Me"

 

Alan Parsons

If you believe in the power magic
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone
Turn and look behind

When we were living in a dream world
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away

 

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

 

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

(not even with regret)

 

If you believe in the power of magic
It's all a fantasy

So if you need to believe in someone
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

 

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

"...Liv'n In A Fantaz

in & out of dreams
& every now & then.."
the nightmare of reality
comes into the light.
Alan Parsons

Tears Of Joy

is what happens
when reason &
rhyme hook up.

Our Horizons

can't move if we don't,
be it mentally for sure
& perhaps geographically,
either way It's As Far as We
Can See.

As We Age

it's not heavy words
that toss & blew us,
cuz they blow right
through us, it's the
deeds that follow that
are The issue.

Hey It's Their

show as we try to
understand the rules
we & they, who made
them up, make no sense
cuz it's all non-sense.

It's Fasinating How

we can be in the same
space/place 'n time (now)
& see It sooo differently,
if @ all, While Towing
The Same Line??.
         the
control of belief is
absolute in our minds
surely not Hers.

Turning Back The

page is in a different
space 'n time, albeit
seemingly near or far
either way the then &
not the now, yet many
are being back when or
just then.

Turning Back

the page is not
equivalent to
turning back time/
space but many are
being in The past
while being in The now.

@ Any Point

in time 25%+/- of
the people can &
do believe ???.

We Are All

vested in the big lie
/ illusion that we
believe Is reality,
@ least for the moment.

To Many Being

dominated is their
freedom / security
& dictators are happy
to oblige, just look around
the world to see for your self.

There Is Much

more to digest but
few have the stomach
for It; but will or ???.

It's Way Too

late for us to
put Her 1st so
She is & will.

'It's Not 'Bout

letting some 1
in but letting
u out.

Putting U 1st

isn't 'bout ego
cuz u know we
aren't all that just
all we can Be while
Being.

"Pleasure, Little Treasure"

 

Depeche Mode

Everybody's looking for someone to follow
Finding the whole thing hard to swallow
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

 

Everybody's looking for a new sensation
Everybody's talking about the state of the nation
Everybody's searching for a promised land
Everybody's failing to understand
Pleasure, little treasure

 

Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

 

Maternity frocks and paternity suits
If that's what you want
They're waiting for you
Everybody needs some reason or other
You'll find a reason when you discover
Pleasure, little treasure
 

Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure

Going Cheap

has It's Price
free is the only
way to go, as best
we can per Her.

Business Can

grow or die but
their & our growth
kills us All not just us.

For Any Society

to function @
our best requires
that our logical &
moral compasses
are in sync if not 1.

Keeping Score

of been prevents
us from being in
The moment.  

If There Is

an after seems to
me that if We don't
care while Being we
have 0 chance after.

All Govern-ment

is there to serve
royalty cuz They
are It.

Moaorals Matter

cuz we don't want to
disappoint our self
cuz society sure will.

The Econ Royalty

fear Democracy
the most cuz they
would no longer be
considered royal by
us & them.

Panspermia

is very likely
as the cosmos
is alive, on Earth
we call it transpermia
or just life.

Doing Nothing

is doing
something.

Perhaps SHE

creates diamonds out
of thin air on Jupiter
but that does not mean
We can do the same
with $'s here, yet we
believe otherwise.

The Supreme Court

is the econ royalty
/ Corp. court that
legislates for them
against us, cuz every
right bestowed upon
is 1 less for less.

"Perfect" (multiverse?)

 

Depeche Mode

On another world by another star at another place and time
In another state of consciousness in another state of mind
Everything was almost perfect, everything fell into place,
That you may reach a different verdict,
If all the judges missed the case

 

In a parallel universe that's happening right now
Things between us must be worse but it's hard to see just how

 

And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced

 

I didn't choose, i didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me, i'm just a plain and simple singer
I heard the sound, i turned my head around
To watch our love shot down

 

In another lonely universe, we're laying side by side
Well no-ones hurt and no-ones cursed and no one needs to hide

 

And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights

 

Songwriters: MARTIN GORE

We Can

illuminate our
minds but we
must want to.

We Gather

up the fear
by wondering

while missing the
what Is.

Peace, Bliss

tranquility, home
is Not out there,
so look inside,

"Miles Away/The Truth Is"

 

Depeche Mode

It's one of those conversations
We've we've had them before

 

The ones that leave you empty
And wanting for more

 

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is:

 

You're miles away [Repeat: x3]

 

Excuse me for my hesitation
'ave I met you before
Your face seems so familiar
And longing for more

 

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand

 

Your eyes they hold the truth
And a truth is

 

You're miles away [Repeat: x3]

 

With all your superstitions
And empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive

 

Life it has its limitations
We all have our needs
Love could be the only answer
It lies underneath

 

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And a truth is

 

You're miles away [Repeat: x3]

Choosing Not To

isn't can't but for
sure a decision.

We Can Noodle It

out logically or
feelingly if the
1st Is 1st there isn't
much to feel 'bout
IT just Is irrespective
if we like it or not, but
if the 2nd is 1st there
is nothing to think 'bout
regardless of reality / facts.

A Major Hurdle

to understanding
is our feelings /
insecurities / beliefs.

Bob Marley

did  describe
it as a mystic in
the air.

"Fragile Tension"

 

Depeche Mode

There's a fragile tension,
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever,
But oh well it's blowing

 

There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we had to care

 

There's a strange obsession,
That's drawing us nearer
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer

 

There's something mystical in our dreams
So simplistic it kicks and screams

 

All we will seem to reek on the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down

 

There's a dizzying feeling,
That's keeping us flying
Some glittering gauntlet
Without even trying

 

There's something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans

(such is the plan of all life /

love just a feeling in the air)

 

Songwriters: MARTIN GORE

How Can We

consider ourselves
intelligent while
lacking so much sense?

To Let IT

show u gotta
let It go.

Your Will

will open your jail
but 1st u gotta let it
         BUT
not 'til u real-eyes
u are the jailer cuz ???.

We Go Long

(buy) the illusions, hopes,
beliefs, feelings, etc &
go short (sell) Reality /
Her.

The Ailing Middle

& lower castes can't
expect the econ royalty
to care cuz if they did
or could we would have
stopped when we Knew
better but lied cuz It is
more profitable but only
if any 1 can still count
/ keep score while Being
             or
try do the best we can Be.

Dark Stains On

our history don't
