I was stranded on a planet, just me and Spock
We met a nasty, Nazi alien who locked our asses up
We found a hunk of crystal and a metal piece of bed
We made a laser phaser gun and shot him in the head

(bust a move tark)

I was standing on the bridge, when Sulu came to me
His eyes were full of tears, he said "Captain, can't you see?"
"The ship is gonna blow! Do something, I beseech!"
I grabbed the tribble and some chewing gum
And stopped the warp core breach

And I say "Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish."
That's the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish.
The Klingons and the Romulans, pose no threat to us,
'Cause if we find we're in a bind, we just make some shit up."

Although he's just a child, and some think him a twit
Wesley is the master when it comes to making up some shit
He's the guy you want with you when you go out in space
Now if only he could beam those pimples off his face

And if you're at a party on the Starship Enterprise
And the karaoke player just plain old up and dies
Set up a neutrino field inside a can of peas
Hold on to Geordie's visor and sing into Data's knees

And I say "Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish."
That's the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish.
The Klingons and the Romulans, pose no threat to us,
'Cause if we find we're in a bind, we just make some shit up."

Sisko's on a mission to go no bloody place
He loiters on a space station above Bajoran space
A wormhole'd opened up and now they come from near and far
We'll keep the booze but please send back the fuckin' Jem'Hadar

And what is with the Klingons? Remembering the day
They looked like Puerto Rican's and they dressed in gold lamé
Now they look like heavy metal rockers from the dead
With leather pants and frizzy hair and lobsters on their heads

And I say "Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish."
That's the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish.
The Klingons and the Romulans, pose no threat to us,
'Cause if we find we're in a bind, we just make some shit up."

Well I was stuck on voyager, pounding on the door
When suddenly it dawned on me, I've seen this show before
Perhaps I'm in a warp bubble and slightly out of phase
'Cause it was way back in the sixties when they called it 'Lost in Space'

We're looking for a way to make the ratings soar
So we orchestrated an encounter with the Borg
Normally you'd think that that would get us into shit
But this one has a smashing ass and a lovely set of tits

And I say "Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish."
That's the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish.
The Klingons and the Romulans, pose no threat to us,
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we're in a bind
We're totally screwed, but never mind
We'll pull something out of our behind...
We just make some shit up

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
