Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –
That’s just what they told me
You could be a patriot
Don’t you love your country?
Don’t you wanna die for it?
How could they enlist me?
I was only seventeen
It’s better to be thankful
Than challenge their authority
This is how the world is
This is how they suck you in
Manipulate the broken
To suffer every consequence
They gave me a machine gun
But I don’t wanna hurt no one
There’s nothing here to fight for
This is someone else’s war
That’s just what they told me
Son, you could be a patriot
Defender of your country
Protector of the innocent
We’ll beat ’em with a clenched fist
By order of your government
They said we were the good guys
But what if we’re the terrorists?
This is how the world is
This is how they suck you in
Manipulate the broken
To suffer every consequence
They gave me a machine gun
But I don’t wanna hurt no one
There’s nothing here to fight for
This is someone else’s war
This is how the world ends
This is how they suck you in
Manipulate the broken
To suffer every consequence
I’m only a statistic
And no one even gives a shit
The treatment for my shell shock
Yeah, they won’t even pay for it
I fired that machine gun
I never meant to hurt no one
And as my friends and foes bleed
We satisfy a rich man’s greed
Maybe I don’t know a damn thing
I’ve never been through anything
This is all I can be
A voice for someone else’s grief
He fired that machine gun
She never meant to hurt no one
‘Cause once you leave a headstone
You never really make it home

My 2 Cents-
This song feels appropriate due to world events. There will always be war, a fact that breaks my pacifistic heart. The soldiers are not to blame for the war, they are just another victim. And I want to cry at the helplessness the whole thing brings. So I will scream that I want peace…I will cry for the lost. And I will hope that the politicians someday hear us.,

Lyrics

My lover’s got humor
She’s the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody’s disapproval
I should’ve worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She’s the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
“We were born sick”, you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, “Worship in the bedroom”
The only Heaven I’ll be sent to
Is when I’m alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
A-, Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I’m a pagan of the good times
My lover’s the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That’s a fine-looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We’ve a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Oh, oh, Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

My 2 Cents-
this song speaks to me on so many levels. Sex can be both shameful and uplifting depending on the situation. It has been both for me on more than one occasion. I feel like that is what this song is talking about…that moment when sex is everything.

Lyrics
I’m sitting on the floor of my home
Burning everything that I own
Guess I ruined something good again
My life is just a fucked up freak show
It’s the only thing that I know
And I hope it never ever ends
Everybody tells me I need fixing
I think that they don’t know what they’re missing, trust me
That’s just life, kicks you down whenever you try
It laughs when you cry
And keeps on moving ’til you die
It’s okay, it’s alright
It’s just another day in paradise
I spiral in self-deprecation, pity party celebration
Never seeing things for what they are
And sadness tеases my temptation, coming off my medication
Evеrything you need to be a star
Everybody tells me I need fixing
I think that they don’t know what they’re missing, trust me
That’s just life, kicks you down whenever you try
It laughs when you cry
And keeps on moving ’til you die
It’s okay, it’s alright
It’s just another day in paradise
It’s just another day, I know that it won’t change
It’s just another day, it’s just another day
It’s just another day, you’ll find another way
It’s just another day, it’s just another day
That’s just life, kicks you down the harder you fight
It laughs ’til you cry
And keeps on moving ’til you die
It’s okay, it’s alright
It’s just another day in paradise
That’s just life, kicks you down whenever you try
It laughs when you cry
And keeps on moving ’til you die
It’s okay, it’s alright
It’s just another day in paradise

My 2 Cents-
this song is the second song I have heard with the same title. While I enjoy Phil Collins song, this song seems like it fits me better. I have felt like this on more than one occasion.

Lyrics
She wants to know the names of the games he plays
He wants the names of the players in the game to change
He’s young in years but wise in wonderful ways
Her faith in love is better on sunny days
City grown willow, unchain your pillow
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
He stokes the flames ’cause he is amused by the glow
She’d rather feel all of its warmth than watch the show
Holding the answer, he dances for the one he knows
His faith in love will last through wind, rain, and snow
City grown willow, unchain your pillow
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
All they want is forever, and
All they need is for
Their time together
To be free
So city grown willow, unchain your pillow
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart
Let the man from the mountains run away with your heart

My 2 Cents-
Some songs I want to share because they are so beautiful, even if I have nothing to say about them. This is one of those. I am a supernatural fan…and Jensen has a gorgeous voice. This is a good song,

Lyrics

I gotta know that your heart beats fast and
I gotta know I’m the only one for you
What have I become?
I’m a fucking monster
When all I wanted was something beautiful
My love too much
Your love not enough
My love too much
Your love
Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side
Oh, well it aches and it aches
You make me wanna die
I gotta kill you my love
I gotta kill you my love
Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side
You said forever, now you look right through me
You said forever, did your words fall short like you?
What have I done?
I’m a fucking monster
When all I wanted was something beautiful
My love too much
Your love not enough
My love too much
Your love
Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side
Oh, well it aches and it aches
You make me wanna die
I gotta kill you my love
I gotta kill you my love
Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side
My love too much
Your love not enough
My love too much
Your love

My 2 Cents-
There is a lot of things that can make someone feel like they are to blame for relationship failings. This song makes me feel like I am not alone. I have been dealing with personality changes in the man I love due to brain abnormalities…and It makes me feel like a monster that sometimes I don’t love the person he has become. Sometimes when life changes those we love sitting there wondering if we can handle it is normal, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Lyrics-

First, you’re on top of the world (a-ah)
And then that world just ended (a-ah)
You think you’re driving down the highway (a-ah)
But then you’re in the trenches (a-ah)
Butterflies are kinda nice, I guess
But my tummy hurts, I’m getting sick of it
Been bruised over, over again
So, you know what?
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored
When I try them on, I end up insecure
Screw feelings, screw feelings (you know what?)
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored
I just took ’em off and throw ’em on the floor
Screw feelings, screw feelings
Scared of the day it hits me (a-ah)
A baseball bat to my heart (a-ah)
Butterflies are kinda nice, I guess
But my tummy hurts, I’m getting sick of it
Been bruised over, over again
So, you know what?
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more (any more)
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored (then I’m bored)
When I try them on, I end up insecure
Screw feelings, screw feelings (you know what?)
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored
I just took ’em off and throw ’em on the floor
Screw feelings, screw feelings
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
You know what?
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
You know what?
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
You know what?
I feel like this song
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
Yeah!

My 2 Cents-
The Last few months have just been hard. This song’s message is easily heard and it is a fun video. We have to feel things, it is in the human condition, but that does not mean we have to like what we are feeling. Today, Screw feelings.

Lyrics
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
And Lately I’ve been pleading with myself to leave it
But I crawl back, begging you for more
And I don’t wanna want you
But I do
And what’s another let down
For a few
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
I’ve been swearing up and down
That I don’t need you
But I’m lying
Hate it, but it’s true
Tell me that you love me, need me
Please I’m begging
I keep chasing, knowing there’s no use
And I don’t wanna break down
But I do
‘Cause I’m getting nervous that I’ll lose
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, tell me that you need me
Save me
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the devil and I’m just your ghost

My 2 Cents-
I missheard the lyrics originally. I kept hearing Mama is in the light…And the song confused me with that…

Lyrics –
“Time”

Burn this room down
Place me on a chair
For all I care
You’re telling me I’m crazy
I would call it lazy
Let the room burn down

Blow my heart apart
You don’t give a shit if I live or die
I don’t wanna be a part of this
No more

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

So we’ve been together for a year or two
And you’re angry because I don’t know, but I’ve been busy loving you
I don’t have the money to be the one you really need
All I give is who I am and poetry to read

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

I’ve been living a dream
But everyone’s awake
And everytime I try to catch up
It’s when I nearly break

Now we’ve been together for a year or two
And everytime I am feeling good is not because of you
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but people seems to fade
Now I don’t care cause I’m sitting on a chair and this is what I made

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so we can try
Tell me why you hate me
Tell me who I should be
Let the time pass by

Now I really know
What you need is rock n’ roll
And if you’re not gonna like it
Then, baby, that’s your call

I don’t care if I’m using my mind
I don’t wanna know
Leave me alone, go never come back
I love rock n’ roll!

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

My Two Cents – this past week was a busy mess so this is mostly how I felt. Lets burn it all down.

Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

{Verse 1}
Woke up late, car’s a mess
Spilled some coffee on my dress
Trying to pick out a song
Drove too fast, missed a stop
Somehow a Policeman saw
How am I gonna pay for that?

{Pre-Chorus}
I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night
Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause
They cut off the power line
Drank up the rest of the box wine
Oh, I know it wasn’t smart
And I say this every time

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today

{Verse 2}
Got to work, powered through
Headache started around 2
‘Cause I had to work through lunch
Finally, I finished up
Made it home and had enough
But I found a dog chewed couch

{Pre-Chorus}
I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night
Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause
They cut off the power line
Drank up the rest of the box wine
Oh, I know it wasn’t smart
And I say this every time

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today

{Bridge}
Just another cup of coffee
I can’t adult today
Just a little bit more money
I can’t adult today
10 alarms just to remind me
I can’t adult today
Tomorrow I will try again

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today 

My Two cents –
I am behind on my posts this week. It has been a really busy week for me – We had to get our lawn mower fixed and gather trash from the yard. Summer is ending but there are still summer chores to be done. So I spent Yesterday dealing with all of that. I spent Saturday dealing with a game and Sunday playing in a different one. So my normal work day – Sunday…well it got stolen. I will not post tomorrow but I have some upcoming announcements so I will be posting Thursday to tell yall all of what is coming soon. Man, Adulting is exhausting.

Lyrics
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
That’s what we do with a drunken sailor
That’s what we do with a drunken sailor
That’s what we do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!

My 2 Cents –
The last few days I have been in a sea Shanty mood. This is one of my favorites just because of the silliness of the lyrics. What is your favorite sea shanty?
