Ok, cleaning it up. This version gives me chills. Effing Brazillians. Not sure it's on spotify but if it is, will use it. 







I am a man who walks aloneAnd when I'm walking a dark roadAt night or strolling through the parkWhen the light begins to changeI sometimes feel a little strangeA little anxious when it's dark.Fear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a phobia that someone's always thereHave you run your fingers down the wallAnd have you felt your neck skin crawlWhen you're searching for the light?Sometimes when you're scared to take a lookAt the corner of the roomYou've sensed that something's watching you.Fear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the dark, fear of the dark.I have a phobia that someone's always thereHave you ever been alone at nightThought you heard footsteps behindAnd turned around and no-one's there?And as you quicken up your paceYou find it hard to look againBecause you're sure there's someone thereFear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the dark, fear of the dark.I have a phobia that someone's always thereWatching horror films the night beforeDebating witches and folkloreThe unknown troubles on your mindMaybe your mind is playing tricksYou sense, and suddenly eyes fixOn dancing shadows from behind.Fear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a phobia that someone's always there.When I'm walking a dark roadI am a man who walks alone

War? - System Of A Down

Notes:

We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism.


Dark is the light,
The man you fight,
With all your prayers, incantations,
Running away, a trivial day,
Of judgment and deliverance,
To whom was sold, this bounty soul,
A gentile or a priest ?
Who victored over, the seljuks,
When the holy land was taken


We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens


Was it the riches, of the land,
Powers of bright darkness,
That lead the noble, to the east,
To fight the heathens


We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens


We must call upon our bright darkness,
Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked,
One was written on the sword,
For you must enter a room to destroy it,
International security,
Call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill man,
History teaches us so,
The reason he must attain,
Must be approved by his god, 
His child, partisan brother of war,


Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,


We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens


 
You guys are doing too great a job, and you're going to have to carry forth without me.  As this ####### flu slow rolls me and takes its toll on my brain as much as my body, work is piling up and I'm going to need all the focus and energy I can muster for that

Guess I shouldn't have blown all those Red Sox

Sorry to throw "ABC" back into the pool like this but it's happening.. now

Dammit.  How about I try to finish up your draft idea??

 
I guess i never thought about how many great songs are negative.  

I'll pick in a few, trying to find a positive song that isn't overly cheesy.

 
Bob Dylan - the times they are a changin

Seems pertinent. 


Come gather around people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
And if your breath to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no telling who that it's naming
For the loser now will be later to win
Cause the times they are a-changing



Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's the battle outside raging
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
Cause the times they are a-changing
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slowest now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last
Cause the times they are a-changing

 
Bobcaygeon is located in the heart of Ontario’s “cottage country”, the song references seeing the constellations – people leave the big cities to get to this land of lakes, rivers and forest for the weekend. Bobcaygeon is less than half an hour from where I live.

The song also references “that night in Toronto, with it’s checker board floors”,  this is talking about the driving distance from the busy city to the calm country – the checker board floors specifically reference The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern. This song was a massive hit in Canada and still gets regular airplay.

5.14 - "Bobcaygeon" - The Tragically Hip

 
Did Ilov80s cheat?  :o   Oz and NV haven't gone yet. ooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOO
 Let's not say cheat so much as was out of turn. My bad, got mixed up somehow. 
I don't know if it is universal, but in my schools if someone gets busted (even dropping a tray at lunch) all the kids say ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. It is actually pronounced Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

 
6.xx - They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng

General Knowledge 101 - Math, Geography, Physics, Science

Required Reading. From an educative band to educated minds. Just a lovely song, perfect with every synth note. When synths hold up from 1988, you know you've done well. Also probably the most lyrically and musically underrated band ever, for putting sadness to lightness, eros to darkness. They let us breathe a bit, like the Dead did, but for more city-like minds.  

Best love song...evah!  

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for
My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends


Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you


All alone at the sixty-four World's Fair
Eighty dolls singing small world after all
Who was at the Dupont Pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in the back of the edge of hearing
These are the words the voice was repeating


Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you


When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge,
I don't want the world, I just want your half


They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me)
Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home)
And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know)


Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
