Saturday Night Fever - We Can Be Heroes.... Edition
Heroes ~ Live 2001 ~ Paris
Written and performed David Bowie
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?
I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be civil, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
My Thursday Mantra -- Keep Your Eye On The Canary Edition
What better time than now
To think where when and how
We can pull this thing together
For soon there will be heavy weather
There are those who say
There's a steep price to pay
To save democracy you must kill freedom
As if Big Brother provides some Garden of Eden
Well I'm here telling you
There are many things we can do
To prepare for these new Dark Ages
As they slowly unfold in stages
We'll look back and wonder why
If we don't stand up and try
To relax and remember that
We may only get one more chance at bat
And if we pretend and bury
Our heads we may not see the Canary
As it starts to fall down dead
While the panic turns widespread
Do we deserve this cruel fate
Give in to agents of fear and hate
As they seek once again to divide us
Selling manufactured commotion and fuss
I say it's time for this to stop
Aren't you sick of eating this slop
Let's demand, for a change, a little reality
Or else our republic will be one more fatality
Saturday Night Fever - Anyone Up For A Ride? Edition
Wall of Death ~ Live 1983
Written and performed Richard Thompson
Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time
Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time
You can waste your time on the other rides
This is the nearest to being alive
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death
You can go with the crazy people in the Crooked House
You can fly away on the Rocket or spin in the Mouse
The Tunnel Of Love might amuse you
Noah's Ark might confuse you
But let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death
On the Wall Of Death all the world is far from me
On the Wall Of Death it's the nearest to being free
Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you're strong but what's the good of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy Beware of the bearded lady
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death
Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time
Oh let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time
You can waste your time on the other rides
This is the nearest to being alive
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death
Let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death
My Thursday Mantra -- Prankster's Rollin' & Tumblin' Edition
I went a-rollin' and a-tumblin'
Right on down those stairs
Full bore rollin' and tumblin'
Carryin' groceries up my 2nd floor lair
I went down rollin' and tumblin'
And I think I done broke my hair
Got myself all knocked out
There was no one else there
Felt like it was a 15 round bout
For which I did not prepare
Don't know if I did scream or shout
As I flew headfirst through the air
And when I came to there was no doubt
I was goin' to need some health care
I went a-rollin' and a-tumblin'
Spent most of this past week in my bed
'Cause of that rollin' and tumblin'
There's a big goose egg on my head
E.R. nurse said I musta been really tumblin'
And that I'm lucky I wasn't dead
Good science often produces beautiful art. These pictures were part of an exhibit of microphotographs presented by “Arts at Argonne” during the Laboratory's Open House on September 14-15, 2001. They were made by Richard Lee of Argonne's Materials Science Division, Argonne, IL USA.
There's a darkness
That descends into every house
It will come
Just as surely as the night
And it arrives
At precisely the wrong time
As if darkness
Knew exactly when to strike
In the darkness
Some can no longer cry
Faith is tested
Even for those who don't believe
Because this darkness
Is doled out with equal opportunity
No one's spared
From darkness you can't hide
I'm gonna spend my days
Spreading light
I'm gonna spend my days
Spreading light
It seems to me my only choice
If not me then who else will raise their voice
I'm gonna spend my days
Spreading light
Sick and tired
Of seeing darkness all around
Won't take it
Can't live life wearing a frown
I will rise
Up tall and stand my ground
Chase away this
Darkness right out of town
Light shall return
Just as surely as the dawn
We can dance
And celebrate the darkness gone
Arms and legs
All akimbo across the lawn
We can stand
Together against darkness from now on
We're gonna spend our days
Spreading light
We're gonna spend our days
Spreading light
Won't you join me and rejoice
Sing away this darkness please raise your voice
Let us spend our days
Spreading light
