Sonic Reducer||Ramblings 2

Sonic Reducer[Dead Boys]

I don't need anyone. Don't need no mom and dad.
Don't need no good advice. Don't need no human rights.
I got some news for you...don't even need you too.

I got my time machine. Got my 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

People out on the streets, they don't know who I am.
I watch them from my room, they are just passing by.
I'm not just anyone...said I'm not just anyone.

I got my time machine. My little 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

Nothing left here...There's not really nothing left here.
I'll be your pharoah soon. Love on some cotton doom.
Things will be different then. The sun will rise from here.
Then I'll be ten feet tall. Then you'll be nothing at all.

I got my time machine. Got my 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

1993 - Angel
Angel|| Fuck Me in the Brain

Angel

Like an angel, fly over your house.
Like an angel, pass out wishes.
Like an angel, I will move the arrow.
Like an angel, I live alone.

I'm not livin' what was promised.
I am close but can't enjoy...I'm not dyin'...

I'm so tortured 'cause I see all.
Tortured, and all I cannot do.
Tortured, all I should have done.
Tortured while I occupied a man.

I'm not livin' what was promised.
I am far from glorified.
I'm not dyin'...I'm not alone...

Mine is not a celestial state with idle hymns of praise.
Time is short I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell.
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide alone at night.
Oh please, please think of me 'cause I'm by your side...
I'm right in front of you...I'm by your side.

Fuck Me in the Brain [Improv?]

Fuck me in my brain...fuck me in the brain...
You fuckin' little cunt...you're drivin' me insane...
Fuck me in the brain...fuck me in the brain...
You're drivin' me...drivin' me insane.

Fuck me in my life...you wanted to be my wife...
Fuck me in my brain...fuck...I'm ready for you...

I don't believe nothin' even if it's true...no...
Fuck me...fuck me in my brain...
Fuck me...my ears are open in my brain...fuck me...

You think I care 'bout those emotions you wear?
You think I care 'bout the way you wear your hair?
You think our love is so far above...

Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!

1994/1995 - History Never Repeats
History Never Repeats (live)|| Sonic Reducer (live)|| Swallow My Pride (live)|| My Way (live)

History Never Repeats (live) [Split Enz]

History never repeats,
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
Don't say the words you might regret.
I lost before, you know I can't forget.

There was a girl I used to know.
She dealt my love a savage blow.
I was so young, too blind to see...
But anyway, that's history.

And I say, history never repeats,
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
And there's a light shining in the dark,
Leading me on towards a change of heart.

You say I always play the fool.
I can't go on if that's the rule.
Better to jump than hesitate.
I need a change and I can't wait.

I say, history never repeats,
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
And there's a light shining in the dark,
Leading me on towards a change of heart.

History never repeats.

Deep in the night it's all so clear.
I lie awake with great ideas.
Looking about in no man's land,
I think at last I understand.

History never repeats,
I tell myself before I go to sleep.
And there's a light shining in the dark,
Leading me on towards a change of heart.

Sonic Reducer (live) [written by the Dead Boys]

I don't need anyone. Don't need no mom and dad.
Don't need no pretty face. Don't need no human race.
I got some news for you...don't even need you too.

I got my time machine. Got my 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

Sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

People...

I'll be your pharoah soon, raised from some cotton tomb.
Things will be different then. The sun will rise from here.
And I'll be ten feet tall. And you'll be nothing at all.

I got my time machine. Got my 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

Swallow My Pride (live) [S. Turner/M. Arm]

She looked at me with dignity, said
"There's something you got to see,
If you know we're headed for war,
This country's prouder than ever before.
Yes there's a spirit in the air,
We're more American than anywhere."

Well I just smiled 'cause I could tell
This little girl's going to Hell.

Now I wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride.
Would make me feel alright, deep inside...feel alright.

All the warmth in her heart
Can't keep my blood from running cold.
First I fell for her looks
Now I just wanna go for the throat.
I tried to tell her a hundred times
This little girl didn't understand at all.
Pride comes before a fall.

Now I wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride.
Make me feel alright, deep inside...feel alright.

This ain't the Garden of Eden.
This ain't the Summer of Love.
Things ain't what they used to be.
There ain't no angels above.

Ain't the Garden of Eden.
Ain't no angels above.
Things ain't what they used to be.
This ain't the Summer of Love.

My Way (live) [Revaux/Francois/Anka]

And now, the end is near,
...final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear.
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway.
More and more, much more than this,
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few,
But they're too few to mention.
I did what I had,
And saw it through without exemption.
I've played each charted course.
I've traveled each and every byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

There were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall,
And I did it my way.

I took a blow, I took a blow,
And did it my way.

1996 - Olympic Platinum
Olympic Platinum||Smile (live)

Olympic Platinum [Nick Didia]

If I could reach to the sky and touch it for my country.
Get some on my finger and take in its smell.
The smell of victory...land of the free...Olympic dream.

My Olympic dream. My promotion scheme.
How hard can it be?
How high can I jump?
How high can I throw?
How high can I run?
How high can I hold my breath, and stay underwater,
And wave my legs around in perfect unison with my partner
Who really doesn't understand me...for my Olympic dream.

I'll be like Dwight Stone...
I'll be like Bruce Jenner...
I'll be like that girl who trained all her life as a distance runner,
And then tripped with a quarter mile to go,
But I, I will get up, and I will run...
I will run with the Georgia peach breeze, and I will win.
I will win my Olympic dream.

The gold's just not good enough...
And I don't even think of the bronze.
I've ????? my life for Olympic Platinum...Olympic dream.
I'll sing like Whitney...my Olympic dream.

1997 - Happy When I'm Crying
Happy When I'm Crying||Live For Today (R.E.M.)

Happy When I'm Crying

I need a song to help along, when it feels wrong.
It seems so long to get to the light.

We live in homes, talk on phones,
Hear the tones. Can you hold?
Moving fast as light... TV's on at night.

Does peace come out of fighting?
Can truths come out of lying?
I'm happy when I'm crying.

If reality is what I see, newspapers, magazines, TV,
Tell's what's going on, leading us along.

It's not absurd to all get heard.
Put our feelings into words.
You have to reach inside, no feelings to hide.

Does peace from out of fighting?
Can truth come out of lying?
I'm happy when I'm crying.

Bring children into the world.
We couldn't have done it by ourselves.
Stop and wonder why...there's more than meets the eye.

Somewhere inside I did believe.
I can't belong. I was wrong.
I have gained insight. I will see the light.

Truth isn't lying.
Peace isn't fighting.
Love isn't dying.

Live For Today [Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe]

You had this bright idea one late summer night.
Candy-coated popcorn strung like a beaded curtain hung over your door.
I guess the heat got to it, dripped and melted all over the floor.
Chocolate-covered cherries in tin foil boats float around the floorboard.
I had to laugh not to cry.

Now all your possessions, all of your things,
All of your hopes, schemes, desires, all of your dreams,
All gone away.
"Live for today", you said, "live for today."
I had to laugh not to cry.

1998 - Last Kiss
Last Kiss||Soldier of Love (live)

Last Kiss [Wayne Cochran]

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
We hadn't driven very far...
There in the road, strait ahead,
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screaming tires, the busting glass,
The painful scream that I heard last.

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said,
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I'd miss.
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Soldier of Love (live) [J. Cason/A. Moon]

Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Lay down your arms and love me peacefully.
Use your arms for squezing, and please,
I'm the one that loves you so.

There ain't no reason for you to declare
War on the one who loves you so.
So forget the other boys because my love is real.
Come off your battlefield.

Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Lay down your arms and love me peacefully.
Use your arms for squezing, please,
That's the way it's gotta be.

The weapons you're using are hurting me bad,
But someday you're going to retreat.
'Cause my love, baby, is the truest you've ever had.
A soldier of love that's hard to beat.

Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Lay down your arms and love me peacefully.
Use your arms to hold me tight.
Baby I don't wanna fight no more.
Use your arms to hold me tight.
Baby I don't wanna fight no more.

Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Please baby lay down your arms.

Strangest Tribe|| Drifting

Strangest Tribe

It's 5 below in evidence...
The winded eves and sideways snow...
His eminence has yet to show.

Follow the ageless tide...
Follow the angled light...
Follow the strangest tribe.

It's 6am, you're waiting for...
You've had your feast, you're wanting more.

Follow the wayward mile...
Follow the distant high...
Follow the strangest tribe.

Follow the ancient stripe...
Follow the angels, try...
Follow the strangest tribe.

Drifting

Drifting, drifting, drifting away...
Got myself a mansion, then I gave it away.
It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save...
And I'm drifting, drifting away.

Drifting, drifting, drifting along...
Rid myself of worries and the worries were gone.
I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog.
I'm just drifting, drifting along.

The suitcoats say there is money to be made...
They get so damn excited, but I guess it's their way.
My road, it may be lonely just because it's not paved...
It's good for drifting, drifting away.

The suitcoats say there is money to be made...
They get so damn excited, nothing gets in their way.
My road, it may be lonely just because it's not paved...
It's good for drifting, drifting away.

Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh-huh...
I feel like going back there, but never for long.
I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone...
I'm just drifting, drifting along.

Drifting, drifting along...
Drifting, drifting...along.

(Merry Christmas)
