(Lord It's Hard To Be Happy When You're Not) Using The Metric System by ATOM AND HIS PACKAGE

The song can be found for free (legally) here

Also, our very own LANIMILBUS and his musical group Borderline Autistic did a cover of it, which could be found at http://www.usesoap.net .



12 inches per foot two pints per quart why don't we make it easy?
The English system of measurement must relate to history.
We can use units of 10 and convert with ease like all the other countries.
I am in command yes I am taking a stand from this disease we must be free. good god!

You're drunk with your tradition that has no validity well I'm intoxicated with sports in metrics come drink a deciliter with me we want metrics we want it now we know we can win I weigh 170 pounds that's 90 kilograms see metrics can even make you thin

all cool things are in metrics for example here's just one
I've got my 9 well that's 9 millimeters, sounds cooler than my point two seventy inches gun.
The president will not exist and they will call me communist and call me scum
but its worth it Canadians will think we are smart or at least they will think we are not as dumb.

You're drunk with your tradition that has no validity well I'm intoxicated with sports in metrics come drink a deciliter with me we want metrics we want it now we know we can win I weigh 170 pounds that's 90 kilograms see metrics can even make you thin

the revolution is here
we must overcome at last as we symbolically
stick their f***ing foot up their f***ing ass (guitar!)

You're drunk with your tradition that has no validity well I'm intoxicated with sports in metrics come drink a deciliter with me we want metrics we want it now we know we can win I weigh 170 pounds that's 90 kilograms see metrics can even make me thin

I love this song...even though it's pretty...cynical. And I dig Rilo Kiley...they're pure greatness


"Portions For Foxes" - Rilo Kiley

There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
And the touchin' leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
But just bein' around you offers me another form of relief
When the lonliness leads to bad dreams
And the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
And I call you and say "C'MERE!"

And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

And it's bad news
Baby it's bad news
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news

'Cause you're just damage control
For a walking corpse like me - like you

'Cause we'll all be
Portions for foxes
Yeah we'll all be
Portions for foxes

There's a pretty young thing in front of you
And she's real pretty and she's real into you
And then she's sleepin' inside of you
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
And the touchin' leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
I don't blame you
I do the same thing
I get lonely too

And you're bad news
My friends tell me to leave you
That you're bad news, bad news, bad news

You're bad news
Baby you're bad news
And you're bad news
Baby you're bad news
And you're bad news
I don't care I like you
And you're bad news
I don't care I like you
I like you

LISA LOEB LYRICS

"I Do"

When I'm done with thinking,... then I'm done with you.
When I'm done with crying.., then I'm done with you...
When I feel so tired, then I'm done with you....
You know...
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way ........

And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear it, but I do...

You're trying to convince me.. that what I've done's not right.
I get so frustrated, I stay up every night.....
You ask me for an answer, and I'm so tired and I'm up in the air....
Up in the air...
You know,
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way .............

And I do.....
You can't hear it, but I do.
You can't hear it, but I'm feeling this way
Just because you say.....

I will be ignored.
I will be denied.
I could be erased.
I could be brushed aside.
I will get scared, and I will get shoved down...
But I feel like I do beause you push me around.............................

I'm starting to ignore you..., I've doubted you so long....
I'm tired of over-thinking, I know you don't belong...............
Now I'm asking questions...
No one pushes me around.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way..............

And I do.
You can't hear it, but I do.
You don't seem angry, but I do....
I do.............
I Do........
I...DO...........
You don't seem angry..
but I do....
You can't hear it..but I do...
I...do.....
I ...... do..........

Hey, why is your heart in pain?
Let the neverending rain reflect your heart
Even if it's the saddest in the world

Look at that faraway sky beyond the clouds!
Here, soon, you'll find
A bright light will shine

You should be able to fly high, to the sky
Leap over the rainbow!
The tears shown that day will shine someday and are valuable

"Time" is created, something you create and set into motion
It is in your hands alone--the key to the door

Where is your bright dream?
Yes, always believe in yourself
When you fell discouraged, remember...
That I am here...

Later,
Trisa

Another great piece from the Strange Angels CD


They say that heaven is like TV
A perfect little world
that doesn't really need you
And everything there
is made of light
And the days keep going by
Here they come Here they come
Here they come.

Well it was one of those days larger than life
When your friends came to dinner
and they stayed the night
And then they cleaned out the refrigerator -
They ate everything in sight
And then they stayed up in the living room
And they cried all night

Strange angels - singing just for me
Old stories - they're haunting me
This is nothing
like I thought it would be.

Well I was out in my four door
with the top down.
And I looked up and there they were:
Millions of tiny teardrops
just sort of hanging there
And I didn't know whether to laugh or cry
And I said to myself:
What next big sky?

Strange angels - singing just for me
Their spare change falls on top of me
Rain falling Falling all over me
All over me
Strange angels - singing just for me
Old Stories - they're haunting me
Big changes are coming
Here they come
Here they come.

The Memory Remains

Metallica

Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere cheers of honor

Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna

Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back

And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess

Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da

Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains..................

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fades to black
The memory remains, yeah
To this faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....

Dance little tin goddess dance

Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da


Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da

Da da da da (say yes)
Da, da da da, da da da (at least say hello)
Da da da da da (say yes)

Da, da da da, da da da (at least say hello)
Da da da da

This is for the gal in the orange collar...

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to dinner huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire
Get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

I love you... let's go...
Oh... solid gone...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

Again, for Token Girl

Ava Adore by Smashing Pumpkins

It's you that I adore
You'll always be my whore
You'll be the mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

Lovely girl you're the beauty in my wrold
Without you there aren't reasons left to find

And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
You'll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart

Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl you're the murder in my wrold
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
In time
We must never be apart

And you'll always be my whore
Cause you're the one that i adore
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty in you I taste god
We must never be apart

stop the world...

i can't hide it anymore this overflow of feeling
i can't keep it a secret anymore, i can't divert my eyes

the intension of hugging you, i will reflect it onto you
the passion that lights up my skin is as it is, evolution

even if you stop the world, i will not stop
i will dive into this night, dive to the night

even if you stop time, but love will not stop
i will dive into this sea, higher up to you now
keep on loving, can't stop my heart now i will not stop
i will dive into this love, dive to the night
dive to the night

Later,
Trisa

Polyphonic Spree: Light and Day

Light and day is more than you'll say

Because all
My feelings are more
Than i can let by
Or not
More than you've got
Just follow the day

Follow the day and reach for the sun!

You don't see me flyin to the red
One more you're done
Just follow the seasons and find the time
Reach for the bright side
You don't see me flyin to the red
One more you're nuts
Just follow the day
Follow the day and reach for the sun

Just follow the day
Follow the day and reach for the sun!

You don't see me flyin to the red
One more you're nuts
Just follow the seasons and find the time
Reach for the bright side
You don't see me flyin to the red
One more you're nuts
Just follow the day
Follow the day and reach for the sun!

Just follow the day
Follow the day and reach for the sun!

Just follow the day
Follow the day and reach for the sun!

It lay buried here. it lay deep inside me.
It’s so deep I don’t think that I can speak about it.
It could take me all of my life,
But it would only take a moment to

Tell you what I’m feeling,
But I don’t know if I’m ready yet.
You come walking into this room
Like you’re walking into my arms.
What would I do without you?

Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that’ll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won’t hold it together.

If you can’t tell your sister,
If you can’t tell a priest,
’cause it’s so deep you don’t think that you can speak about it
To anyone,
Can you tell it to your heart?
Can you find it in your heart

To let go of these feelings
Like a bell to a southerly wind?
We could be like two strings beating,
Speaking in sympathy...
What would we do without you?
Two strings speak in sympathy.

Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that’ll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won’t hold it together.

We’re building a house of the future together.
(what would we do without you? )

Well, if it’s so deep you don’t think that you can speak about it,
Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future.
Well, if it’s so deep you don’t think you can speak about it,
Don’t ever think that you can’t change the past and the future.
You might not, not think so now,
But just you wait and see--someone will come to help you

Out here on the ledge
I'm not far away from stepping off
I finally picked out my cloud
It's the one over there surrounded by all that air

You reached out your hand
And said "I understand"
So why not come down?

Well except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine
Oh except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine

Thank you for asking!
I'm so glad we had this moment here alone
I know they think I'm crazy
But everything I am, is everything I was taught to be

Except...

As you read my words out loud
Make me sound genius
Make me sound special
And maybe I'll come down...

Later,
Trisa

This just sort of came, and hit me... I guess you could say...?

Life For Rent

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home...
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love...
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought..............

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine........

I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea... sea
To travel the world alone and live more simply...
I have no idea what's happened to that dream.....
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me...
It's just a thought, only a thought.......

But if my life is for rent, and I don't, learn... to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Ad if my life is for rent and I.. don't, learn... to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get,
Cos nothing I have is truly mine.....

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down....
While I am so afraid to fail??.... so I won't even try..........
Well how can I say I'm alive..............

But if my life is for rent and, I... don't.... learn... to buy........
Well I deserve nothing more than I get,
Cos nothing I have is truly mine.....

But if my life is for rent and, I... don't.... learn... to buy........
Well I deserve nothing more than I get,
Cos nothing I have is truly mine.....

Cos nothing I have is truly mine.....
Cos nothing I have is truly mine.......
Cos nothing I have is truly mine..................

Awesome song, Alex. However, it's the worst on the album


Seven Caged Tigers by STP


Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'
Take a peak as the model earns it, earns it
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
Clean the politician, wash with everpure

So the answer gets harder, harder
And the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin' and churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by

Wastin' time chasin' those cows that fly
Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost
Track the blade as it sweeps downward and onward
Take a pill it'll kill all the martyrs, martyrs
Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by
Pass the umbilical cord down for this fly by
Take a sneak while the model earns it earns it
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin' on crawlin' on

So the answer gets harder, harder
And the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin' and churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by

Lonely is the Night--Billy Squier


Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right--(say) the writin's on the wall


It's a high time to fight when the walls are closin' in
Call it what you like--It's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely--your spirit's sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town


Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go jive
Headlines, deadlines jammin' your mind
You been stealin' shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride


There's danger out tonight..the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite...the boys are set to prowl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight--do you wanna take it all


Slowdown, showdown--waitin' on line
Showtime, no time for changin' your mind
Streets are ringin', march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down


Somebody's watchin' you baby--so much you can do
Nobody's stoppin' you baby, from makin' it too
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now baby--it can happen to you


No more sleepin', wastin' our time
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
No more lazin' 'round the tv
You'll go crazy--come out with me

You say you're lonely? Come out.
Lonely is the night
If you say that you're lonely, come out...
Lonely is the night...
