"Vampire State Building" - Rudimentary Peni

What's that festering, Grotesque,

Over there in a Wheelchair, Wheelchair

Stifled in a Strait-jacket,

Self inflicted Safety pin Wounds, wounds, wounds

is it Punkoid? Devoid? Schizoid? Mumbling?

Vampire state building is crumbling, crumbling, Crumbling.

Word up: bandage

Kid Charlemagne-Steely Dan

While the music played you worked by candlelight

Those san francisco nights

You were the best in town

Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl

You turned it on the world

Thats when you turned the world around

Did you feel like jesus

Did you realize

That you were a champion in their eyes

On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene

But yours was kitchen clean

Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home

Every a-frame had your number on the wall

You must have had it all

Youd go to l.a. on a dare

And youd go it alone

Could you live forever

Could you see the day

Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away

Chorus:

Get along, get along kid charlemagne

Get along kid charlemagne

Now your patrons have all left you in the red

Your low rent friends are dead

This life can be very strange

All those dayglow freaks who used to paint the face

Theyve joined the human race

Some things will never change

Son you were mistaken

You are obsolete

Look at all the white men on the street

Chorus

Clean this mess up else well all end up in jail

Those test tubes and the scale

Just get them all out of here

Is there gas in the car

Yes, theres gas in the car

I think the people down the hall

Know who you are

Careful what you carry

cause the man is wise

You are still an outlaw in their eyes

Chorus

Your word: ya ya

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

singing my life with his words,

killing me softly with his song,

killing me softly with his song,

telling my whole life with his words,

killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Roberta Flack

Down in amongst the streets tonight

Books will burn, people laugh and cry in their turmoil

(turmoil turns rejoiceful)

Shed your fears and lose your guilt

Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire

We'll watch the flames grow higher!

But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home

And as I was standing by the edge

I could see the faces of those led pissing theirselves laughing

(and the flames grew)

Their mad eyes buldged their flushed faces said

The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger

excerpt from "Funeral Pyre" by The Jam

They got an apartment with deep

Pile carpet

And a couple of paintings from Sears

A big waterbed that they bought

With the bread

They had saved for a couple

Of years

They started to fight when the

Money got tight

And they just didn't count on

The tears.

Just because you've become a young man now

(Man, now)

There's still some things that you don't understand now

(Son, now)

Before you ask some girl for her hand now

(My son)

Keep your freedom for as long as you can now

My mama told me... you better shop around

(Shop, shop around) a-whoa-yeah

You better (uh-huh) shop around!

(Shop, shop around)

Uh-uh-uh

Well, I know my banana is older than the rest,

And my hair is a tangled beretta.

When I leave my pajamas to Billy Budapest,

And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter...)
