2. The Fool On The Hill - The way an arrogant rich punk thinks.
Sat Nov 17, 2012, 11:04 AM
Nov 2012

Day after day
alone on a hill
the man with the foolish grin
is keeping perfectly still
but nobody wants to know him
they can see that he's just a fool
and he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning round

Well on the way
head in a cloud
the man of a thousand voices
talking perfectly loud

But nobody ever hears him
or the sounds he appears to make
and he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning round

And nobody seems to like him
they can tell what he wants to do
and he never shows his feelings

But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning round

He never listens to them
he knows that they're the fools
they don't like him

The fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning round

Ohhh

11. Ship of Fools by World Party
Sat Nov 17, 2012, 11:22 AM
Nov 2012

We're setting sail to the place on the map
from which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
by the light of the crosses that burned.
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
and the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need.
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby.
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow

Save me. Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools. No, no
Oh, save me. Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools
I want to run and hide right now

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
or drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world, you're in search of no good
but I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
as you're little boat struggles through the warning waves, but you don't pay

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow

Save me. Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools
Save me. Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools
Where's it comin' from?
Where's it goin' to now?
It's just a It's just a ship of fools

Can't Buy You, by Daniel Merriweather

Now, Let You Go
I can’t stand to be here on my own
I can’t sleep till I hear your voice
Is there nothing I can do to make it better?
Nothing I can say I wish I never
Sold You lies and lullabies

Always Thought I was living the good life
Everyday I was needing the spotlight
Light shining but nothing is true
I look around I’m the life of the party
But tonight somethings dying inside me
What’s funny Money can’t buy you
Money can’t Buy You

Please, open the door
My words will mean so much more than they did before
I won’t leave, till I see your face
Is there something I can do to start the healing?
Some where we can go I can’t believe I made you cry a second time

Always Thought I was living the good life
Everyday I was needing the spotlight
Light shining but nothing is true
I look around I’m the life of the party
But tonight I just need you beside me
What’s funny Money can’t buy you
Money can’t Buy You

Please, Pick up the phone
Because I can’t stand to be here on my own

Always Thought I was living the good life
Everyday I was needing the spotlight
Light shining but nothing is true
I look around I’m the life of the party
But tonight I just need you beside me
What’s funny Money can’t buy you
Money can’t Buy You

Always Thought I was living the good life
Everyday I was needing the spotlight
Light shining but nothing is true
I look around I’m the life of the party
But tonight something’s dying inside me
What’s funny Money can’t buy you
Money can’t Buy You
Money Can’t Buy You

Everyone Loves a Loser, Morcheeba





But this is the song, I'm sure he was getting drunk off of milk to -

Ray Charles "Born to Lose"


Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
When I awake, and find that you're not there
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

(instrumental break)

Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.




For the bonus round, this is what the GOP is saying to Romneynow:

18. Money

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay
And your O.K.

Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands
And make a stash

New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off my stack

Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that
Do goody good bullshit

I'm in the hi-fidelity
First class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet



Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly
But don't take a slice of my pie
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/pink+floyd/money_20108700.html ]
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil
Today

But if you ask for a rise
It's no surprise that they're
Giving none away
Away
Away
Away
Away...

Deep dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all
