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
sung by heather
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.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle, it'll up the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

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.

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
But she won't catch me, or break my fall
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
Baby's got blue skies uphead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
I wanted to run, she made me crawl
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
You know I got black eyes but they burn
So brightly for her
Guess it's a blind kind of love
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
I'm loosing you
Oh, I'm loosing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
[Ain't love the sweetest thing] x2
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
Baby's got blue skies uphead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
Oh, this is a stormy kind of love
[Oh oh oh the sweetest thing]
The sweetest thing
Oh, the sweetest thing
Sung to Becky by Ben, cause he loves this song.
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.~
