I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

goodbye goodbye goodbye bad – hello hello heaven

I can feel no sense of measure
no illusions as we take
refuge in young man’s pleasure
breaking down the dreams we make real
goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
leave it
hello hello heaven

The VCR and the DVD there was a none of that crap back in 1970

We didn’t know about a World Wide Web
Was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid

Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin’ in style with a portable CD player
No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

I’d be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You’d have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say, “Boy turn the radio down”

that’s the thing about living, when you get there you’re seldom forgiven

new suit, and a new tie, a real nice service for me when I die

there’s a magic running through your soul

but you can’t have it all

walk away if you want to it’s ok if you need to
you can run but you can never hide
from the shadow that’s creeping up beside you

what ever you do I’ll be two steps behind you
where ever you go and I’ll be there to remind you

that it only takes a minute of your precious time 
to turn around I’ll be two steps behind

so take the time to think about it
walk the line you know you just can’t fight it
take a look around you see what you can find
like the fire that’s burning up inside me

I just saw Halley’s Comet

my eyes are open wide by the way I made it through the day
I watched the world outside by the way I’m leaving out today
I’m not angry I’m just saying sometimes goodbye is a second chance
to make them realize this is my life … here is my chance this is my chance
please don’t cry one tear for me I’m not afraid of what I have to say
this is my one and only voice so listen close it’s only for today

crow on the down low

… keeping my boasting/bragging (albeit well deserved to a minimum) since I hardly heard a peep outta y’all first time ’round mentioning my accomplishments … one of my greatest blogposts ever BTW (should keep re-blogging the shit outta that one … it was THAT fucking good, lol). Seemed to have a bit more success three months later while keeping it short and simple when greatness struck once again. And now it’s my ninehunny … 3 1/2 years of danistrulytheman WordPressing it … March 17 – St. Paddy’s Day to be precise; as if I ever need a legitimate reason to lift a pint of Guinness, lol. Drop comments/likes if you want … if you don’t, then don’t … it don’t matter to me motherfuckers NEVER will I be Shot Down In Flames again … ain’t it a shame

my jeans felt a bit tight, I think I washed them too high

I was gonna be late, so I picked up my pace to run

the end of the something I did not want to end, beginning of hard times to come
but something that was not meant to be is done, and this is the start of what was

so stay don’t leave me Mama ’cause it’s getting so hard oh don’t go no no don’t go

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars

I walk streets of Japan till I get lost
With a graveyard tan and carrying a cross
I like studying faces in a parking lot
I like driving backwards in the fog
I like gypsy moths and radio talk
I like gospel music and canned applause
I like colorful clothing in the sun
I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues
I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
I like playing in the sand what’s mine is ours
If it doesn’t remind me of anything

What if I say I will never surrender?

I’m the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I’m the face that you have to face mirrored in your stare
I’m what’s left I’m what’s right I’m the enemy
I’m the hand that will take you down bring you to your knees

So who are you? Yeah who are you?
Yeah who are you? Yeah who are you?

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend

par four motherfucker whatcha gonna do?

with my bottle of Jack and my shotgun strapped
I went looking for fame and yo I never went back

please God please I’ll pay any cost
if you’d just stop the world ’cause I wanna get off
there’s too much hardship there’s too much pain
there’s too many motherfuckers tryin’ to get in my brain

now I’ve been walkin’ the Earth since the beginning of time
and won’t leave till I’ve received that seventh sign
all this talk they’re gonna drop the bomb
but life keeps going on and on and on and on
the world’s end don’t worry me
and I’m gonna get where I’m going just don’t hurry me
’cause I’m in no rush and I can’t stand rushin’
everything’s slow motion like I’m trippin’ on tussin

I’ll save myself you save the fucking rainforest

Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It’s beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play?

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence, won’t you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence, won’t you let me see you smile?

It’s fucked up that a man’s life can just be attacked

Watching this morning with a beer is much better than relying on
Unknown cunts for mates I was given that don’t have my back

It’s not my fault there’s wall to wall empty cans

No one’s really there fighting for you in the last garrison
No one except yourself that is no one except you
You are the one who’s got your back ’til the last deed’s done

The end of the something I did not want to end
Beginning of hard times to come
But something that was not meant to be is done
And this is the start of what was
It’s the end of something I did not want to end
Beginning of hard times to come
But something that was not meant to be is done
And this is the start of what was
It’s the end of the something I did not want to end
Beginning of hard times to come
But something that was not meant to be is done
And this is the start of what was
It’s the end of the something I did not want to end
Beginning of hard times to come
But something that was not meant to be is done
And this is the start of what was
