I feel your world again inside of me
calm and undisturbing
I sit. I'm waiting,
waiting for you to come and run me over.

and anything they taught you
(five minutes)
in that school choir of yours,
(ten seconds)
you know it's wrong, know it's wrong, know it's wrong.
(forty hours, waste away, it was a waste of time)
and everytime I find you
(a brillow pad)
behind black and unmarked doors.
(a scar face??)
maybe then, maybe then you'll be sleeping.
(a saint's brigade is marching all the martyrs to dance with hers)

and everything they taught you,
and anything they want to
push me down your stairs again.
as my skull cracks, your laughter filters in
and through the way I feel
but I never talk to you.
never talk to you
never talk to you

it hurts
(?)
I'll stay
(walking up the stairs)
patent leather shoes
(temper tantrums makes the words look old and worn away)
grinds my empty wooden floors
I'll wait
(?)
for you
(a muffled voice)
open and detoppled over ashley's leather shoes
(the film is caught between the jeans and broken cars)

and I feel rotten
and i feel __
i'm always __
???
ashley gets a birthday present
ashley gets a birthday present
(I'm always broken)
ashley gets a birthday present
(I feel broken)
ashley gets a birthday present
(I'm always dying)

and anything they ask you
and everything they thought was
push me down your stairs again.
and as my skull cracks, your laughter filters in
and through and the way I feel
but I never talk to you.

never would, never could talk to you.
it's always there. you're always there.
and anything that I would say..
why did I even get out of bed today?

so you've been bad and I must pay.
but it's just bread and water for me today,
today.

and anything they thought was _
open and detoppled _ and intersections __
?????
why did you have to be so mean
?????
i was born
since i was born

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
