inucbus "make your self"

if I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow. if I hadn't assemled myself. I'dve fallen apart by now. if I hadn't made me I'd be more inclined to bow powers that be would have swallowed me up, but that's more tha I can allow. if you let them make you they'll make you papier-mache. at a distance you're strong, until the wind comes then you crumble and blow away. if you let them fuck you, there will be no fourplay. rest assured, they'll screw you complete til' your ass is bule and grey. you should amends with you. if only for to better health. but if you really want to live, why not try and make yourself? if I hadn't made me, I'dve fallen apart by by. I won't let em' make me, it's more than I can allow. so when I make me, I won't be papier-mach. and if I fuck me...... I'll fuck me in my own way. you should amends with you. if only for to better health. but if you really want to live, why not try and make yourself?

I love the lyrics to this song so much, and I can't think of a person that's made there self better then becky. love MattB

 oh, i know you're tryin to drive me crazy
 and i know you're doing a good job, baby
 i know i just can't feel my fingers
 this feeling that you're filling me up with it lingers
 oh, i don't mind but it takes me by surprise
 and i don't mind cause it leads me to your door

--bob schneider, sung by kat


 "Summertime 
 And the living is easy
 Fish are jumpin'
 And the cotton is high 
 Oh, your mama's rich 
 And your daddy's good lookin' 
 So hush little baby 
 Don't you cry 
 One of these mornin's 
 You're gonna rise up singin' 
 You'll spread your wings 
 And you'll take to the sky 
 But 'til that morning comes
 There ain't nothin' can harm you 
 With daddy and mommy 
 Standin' by"
 Summertime, as sung to Becky by Emma because she thinks of singing that
with her whenever she hears it

dog coffee

 ani difranco
 perpetrating counter-culture she is walking through the park
 first light ugly and more muscular than the dark
 pushing poems at the urban silence
 drawing portraits of the passers by
 sitting on the curb
 combining traffic sounds
 getting dirty looks and dirty jeans
 on the dirty ground
 she says i can't figure out what kind of life this is
 comedy or tragedy i just know it's show biz

--Sung by Roya for Becky (especially the first few lines)


 Fairy tale, 
 my favorite fairy tale,
 Is the one I live with wonderful you,
 Life is so grand, 
 a fabulous fairyland,
 And we walk it hand in hand as lovers do,
 Fantasy became a reality,
 With your tender kiss you open the door,
 You are marvelous, divine,
 Aladdin's lamp did shine,
 The magic days that you were mine,
 Fairy tale, our love is a fairy tale,
 And it never has been told before.

--From Roya again


brief bus stop

 ani difranco
 we discovered we are both
 pleasantly furious half of the time
 when we're not just toeing the line
 we sat underneath the shelter
 as the rain came down outside
 the bench was cold
 against the underside of our thighs
 i said i think we need new responses
 each question's a revolving door
 and she said, yeah,
 my life may not be something special
 but it's never been lived before
 we decided our urgency will wane
 when we grow old
 and there will be a new generation of anger
 new stories to be told
 but i said, i don't know if i can wait
 for that peace to be mine
 and she said, well, you know,
 we've been waiting for this bus
 for an awfully long time

--yesss another one from Roya for her darling destined


 "She thinks my tractor's sexy
 It really turns her on
 She's always starin' at me
 While I'm chuggin' along
 She likes the way it's pullin
 While I'm tillin' up the land
 She's even kinda crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
 She's the only one who really understands
 what gets me
 
 She thinks my tractor's sexy
 We ride it back and forth till we run outta light
 Take it to the barn, put it up for the night
 Climb up in the loft, sit and talk
 With the radio on
 She says she's got a dream
 And I ask what it is
 She wants a little farm and a yard full o' kids
 And one more teeny weeny ride
 before I take her home"
 
 -Kenny Chesney, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
 ~Sung to the crazy, country babe Becky, by Curi~ :)

 
 dignified in what she does when she sings
 the smile that she brings to all of you unaware
 of what's to come i said tell me what's to come
 green is the color of my envy
 it's the color of fame
 so i'm gonna write it down to scream it out
 & i'm never gonna be the same again
 fear is the color you've all exposed
 now i gotta get up here
 & prove the importance
 of my clothes of my pose i suppose again
 hard core superstar by far you're the ultimate star
 do you wanna be a superstar
 well that's what you are
 you're gonna be a star
 do you wanna be a superstar?
 clever in what she does competing for the attention
 of those people that you know
 my whole life revolves around
 your absence until i can't remember
 what i was or what i am
 who i know or what i know or where i go
 every moment was that moment
 every day was that day
 every second was that second
 & i've lost myself again
 soon my face will be on every magazine
 & then my voice
 will be on every frequency
 take my heart while you're at it why don't you
 sign me up to sell me out
 i am my angel 'til death i do i saw my first angel
 & it was you

~Superstar - Tegan and Sara, as sung by Fiona


 There's a place for us
 somewhere a place for us
 peace and quiet and open air
 wait for us
 somewhere
 there's a time for us
 someday a time for us
 time together with time to spare 
 time to learn
 time to care
 someday, somewhere
 we'll find a new way of living
 we'll find a way for forgiving, somewhere
 there's a place for us
 a time and place for us
 hold my hand and we're halfway there
 hold my hand and i'll take you there
 someday! somehow! somewhere!

From West Side Story and sung by Franny


 joyful girl by ani difranco
 i do it for the joy it brings
 because i'm a joyful girl
 because the world owes me nothing 
 and we owe each other the world
 i do it because it's the least i can do
 i do it because i learned it from you
 and i do it just because i want to 
 because i want to
 everything i do is judged
 and they mostly get it wrong
 but oh well
 'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
 and the woman who lives there can tell
 the truth from the stuff that they say
 and she looks me in the eye
 and says would you prefer the easy way
 no, well o.k. then
 don't cry
 i wonder if everything i do
 i do instead 
 of something i want to do more
 the question fills my head
 i know there's no grand plan here
 this is just the way it goes
 when everything else seems unclear
 i guess at least i know
 i do it for the joy it brings
 because i'm a joyful girl
 because the world owes me nothing
 and we owe each other the world
 i do it because it's the least i can do
 i do it because i learned it from you
 and i do it just because i want to
 because i want to

 He spends his nights in California, 

Watching the stars on the big screen Then he lies awake and he wonders, Why can’t that be me Cause in his life he is filled With all these good intentions He’s left a lot of things He’d rather not mention right now But just before he says goodnight, He looks up with a little smile at me, And he says, If I could be like that, I would give anything Just to live one day, in those shoes If I could be like that, I would give anything Just to live one day, in those shoes If I could be like that, what would I do, What would I do Now and dreams we run She spends her days up in the north park, Watching the people as they pass And all she wants is just A little piece of this dream, Is that too much to ask With a safe home, and a warm bed, On a quiet little street All she wants is just that something to Hold onto, that’s all she needs Yeah! If I could be like that, I would give anything Just to live one day, in those shoes If I could be like that, what would I do, What would I do I’m falling into this, dreams We run away If I could be like that, I would give anything Just to live one day, in those shoes If I could be like that, what would I do, What would I do If I could be like that, I would give anything Just to live one day, in those shoes If I could be like that, what would I do, What would I do If I could be like that, I would give anything Just to live one day, in those shoes If I could be like that, what would I do, What would I do Falling in I feel I am falling in, to this again.

Sung to Becky, once again, by Ben. Raaa

heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live with Leonard before I knew ya I've seen your flag on the marble arch But love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath you drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya Well it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halle... It's not what you're told It's not her face It's not his touch In the room you both share Where he's gone when he loved When your time and your memory fills your dreams When you're honest and together Together no more No more Hallelujah, until you're nothing Hallelujah, baby, until she's everywhere Hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I'd lost Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Bonne nuit, bonne nuit, I love you, I love you, We love you, Thank you

 
 

Sung to Becky, by Ben.

I want to live,

I want to give

I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

It's these expressions I never give

That keep me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

  

I've been to Hollywood

I've been to Redwood

I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold

I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line

That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

  

Keep me searching for a heart of gold

You keep me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

I've been a miner for a heart of gold

Sung by Neil Young and sung again by Ben to Becky.

My tea's gone cold, I wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue Because you're near me and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.

Sung by Dido and sung to Becky by, yes, me, the iracsible old Wiccan, Ben.

Sung to Becky by Ben, in love and remembrance. "these arms long to hold you again".

Have you been around Have you done your share of coming down On different things that people do Have you been aware You got brothers and sisters who care About what’s gonna happen to you In a year from now...

Maybe I’ll be there to shake your hand Maybe I’ll be there to share the land That they’ll be giving away When we all live together.

Did you pay your dues Did you read the news This morning when the paper landed in your yard Do you know their names Can you play their games Without losing track And coming down a bit too hard...

Shake your hand, share the land Shake your hand, share the land You know I’ll be standing by To help you if you worry....

Sung to Becky by Ben, in apology and love.


 The lights on
 In the middle of the night
 There's a sick little child around
 Momma said to Poppa "Don't you worry, I think her fever's coming  down."
 Oh yes and I know, it's just a cold or it's just the flu
 But I say a little prayer,I say a little prayer for you
 I say a little prayer, I say a little prayer for you
 Let her get better, let her get better soon please.
 Put Aretha Franklin on
 Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
 In the middle of the night
 Cause that'll do as much good
 As any medicine
 To make her feel alright
 Oh yes and I know, it's just a cold or it's just the flu
 But I say a little prayer,I say a little prayer for you
 I say a little prayer, I say a little prayer for you
 Let her get better, let her get better soon please.
 Momma been a walkin with ya
 Poppa been a walkin with ya
 Walkin up and down the hallway
 Look out the window
 See the city lights shining
 When you're sick you look so tiny
 I'm gonna put you in my pocket
 Go down to where it's warmer
 I'm gonna throw you in the ocean
 And you will turn into a dolphin
 And when you get all better
 You will swim back to me
 Oh yes and I know, it's just a cold or it's just the flu
 But I say a little prayer,I say a little prayer for you
 I say a little prayer, I say a little prayer for you
 Let her get better, let her get better soon please.
 Let her get better
 Let her sister get better too
 Let em get better so I can get better too.
 I say a little prayer.  I say a little prayer.
 I say a little prayer.  I say a little prayer.

Long Tall Mama

 You a dirty mis-treater,
 You don't mean no one woman no good.
 You a dirty mis-treater,
 You don't mean no one woman no good.
 But I don't blame you, 
 I'd be the same way if I could.
 You don't want no one woman,
 All you do is run around.
 You don't want no one woman,
 All you do is run around.
 Oh you crave a gang of women
 Just like a Georgia hound.
 I'm gonna get just like you papa,
 I'm gonna get me five or six men.
 I'm gonna get just like you papa,
 Gonna get me five or six men.
 And if that won't do, 
 I'm gonna get me eight or ten.
 
 'Cause I'm a long, tall mama,
 I can do just what I want to do.
 I'm a long, tall mama,
 Do just what I want to do.
 I have thanks to be a mis-treater
 Baby, just like you.
 Oh when you used to need help,
 Right on me you'd call.
 When you used to need help,
 Right on me you would call.
 But now you a dirty mis-treater,
 And I can't use you at all.

~old blues song, sung to Becky by herself, 'cause she felt like it.~
