3. Sexy Mother Fucker

4. "People Have the Power" by Patti Smith
"The power to dream, to rule,
to wrestle the world from fools."

Since the day Dubya was sworn into office, I've thought this should be the Dems' 2004 campaign theme.

7. The jazz song "Just In Time"...
Jazz appeals to just about every age group, and the lyrics are especially appropriate for the times:

Just in time,
I found you just in time,
Before you came my time was runnin' low...

I was lost, the losing dice were tossed,
My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go...
BUT--now you're here,
And now I know just where I'm going, no more doubt or fear,
I found my way...

For love came just in time,
I found you just in time,
You turned my lonely nights to lovely days!

I can hear Ella Fitzgerald singing it now! :D

B-)

8. one on the charts now...
Incubus - Talk Show on Mute Lyrics

Take a bow
Pack on powder
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights
Pay an audience to care
'Impress me' personality

Still and transfixed
The electric sheep are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from the chemical
Comfort of America

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eightyfour
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! transaction!

Quick, Your time is almost up
Make 'em forget that they're the moth
Edging in towards the flame
Burn into obscurity

Still and transfixed
The electric sheep but dreaming up your fate
We judge you from the card castle
Comfort of America

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eightyfour
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! transaction!

Your foundation is canyoning
Fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say it
But you're so much more
You're so much more endearing with the sound turned off

"Happy Days Are Here Again"!!! . . .

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no one from now on
From now on...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!

23. Well...
If that your attitude, then how about some Ramones: Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment...although I guess that was Eagleton's when he ran for V.P.

:crazy:

24. Pink Floyd-Run Like Hell
You better run like hell
You better make your face up in
Your favourite disquise
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smiler
And your hungry heart
Iced the bile rising from your quilty post
With your nerves in tatters
When the cockleshell shattens
And the hammers butter
Down the door
You better run like hell
You better run all day
And run all night
And keeps your dirty feelings
Deep inside
Take your girlfriend
Out tonight,
You better park the car
Well out of sight
Cos if they catch your in the back scat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box
You better run
