Elvis Costello - (When You’re On The) Losing End

I had no idea he even knew I existed. I would’ve done anything for him if I knew. How much heartbreak can be endured so criminals can continue to run games against the public?

The Losing End (When You're On) lyrics

I went into town to see you yesterday
But you were not home
So I talked to some old friends for a while
Before I wandered off alone

It's so hard for me now but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same, won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay when you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again, yeah

Well, I miss you more than ever
Since you've gone I can hardly maintain
Things are different round here every night
My tears fall down like rain

It's so hard for me now but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same, won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay when you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again

It's so hard for me now but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same, won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay when you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again

Grateful Dead - Dire Wolf

Why do we all feel as if there is a gun to our heads? Maybe it’s because there is a gun to our heads. What a world government we have these days. How do we vote out someone who has a big media machine drilling it into the brainwashed that his existence is nothing but “a conspiracy theory”. Wouldn’t it be nice if the tricks stopped working all over?

Dire Wolf lyrics

Grateful Dead

In the timbers to Fennario
The wolves are runnin' round
The winter was so hard and cold
Froze ten feet 'neath the ground

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

I sat down to my supper
It was a bottle of red whisky
I said my prayers and went to bed
That's the last they saw of me

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

When I awoke, the dire wolf
Six hundred pounds of sin
Was grinning at my window
All I said was, "Come on in"

But don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

The wolf came in, I got my cards
We sat down for a game
I cut my deck to the queen of spades
But the cards were all the same

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me
Don't murder me

In the backwash of Fennario
The black and bloody mire
The dire wolf collects his due
While the boys sing 'round the fire

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

No, no, no don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me
Please, don't murder me

Thank you to each and every one of you fighting for our emancipation.

Respect to Prince for standing up for his freedom and ours. May he still be with us.

Emancipation lyrics

Prince

Ever since I was a little baby
I had 2 have double everything
When they tell me that's enough
That's when I wanna fill my cup
2 the top, Johnny, hear me sing

Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
Emancipation - see U in the purple rain
Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
Emancipation - break the chain, break the chain

Ever since that Eve did unto Adam, alright
What somebody been sho'nuff doin' 2 me (Watch it!)
I've been tryin' 2 break the chain
Get my little ass out the game
I'd rather sing with a bit more harmony, oh

Johnny please, huh, when I was on my knees
My back was broken and my spirit ill at ease
And now it seems just like the autumn leaves
Your money's turned from green 2 brown and now U best believe

(Emancipation) {repeat in BG}
Break the chain, oh yeah
Well, sho'nuff
See U in the purple rain
Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
Break the break the break the chain!

Hey!
Alright!
Hey! {x4}
Emancipation
Free - don't think I ain't!
Emancipation

What does this mean?!

Elvis Costello and The Attractions - Good Year For The Roses

The short below recently popped up on EC’s youtube channel.

Good Year For The Roses lyrics

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lying cold the way you left them
But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it
That's so much more than I can say for me

What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowing
Funny I don't even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
It's been a good year for the roses

After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talking
There's so little left to say we haven't said
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind
I find I haven't said a word
From the bedroom the familiar sound
Of our baby's crying goes unheard

What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowing
Funny I don't even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
It's been a good year for the roses

Safe to say he’s up to something.

Grateful Dead - Deal

"Deal" lyrics

Since it cost a lot to win
And even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wondering what to choose

It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
And play it slow

Wait until your deal come 'round
Don't you let that deal go down

I been gambling hereabouts
For ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down
It would burn off both your ears

It goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play
And play it slow

Wait until your deal come 'round
Don't you let that deal go down

Since you poured the wine for me
And tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you sitting there
Composing lonesome blues

It goes to show that you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and
Play it slow

Wait until your deal come 'round
Don't you let that deal go down

Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down

Ron Sexsmith deserves way more attention!

What a great talent. Hopefully we can right that wrong.

Ron Sexsmith - Small Minded World

Strange and beautiful
Weird and wonderful
Wild and colourful
All that makes you original

Feeling’s mutual
Most unusual
Lost or vulnerable
All that makes you invincible

And oh…
Oh now don’t feel sad
Oh now don’t get mad
Mad at this small minded world
No!
Oh now don’t feel blue
Cos they don’t get you
You’ll win this small minded world

Unique, impossible
Black sheep three bags full
All freaks, a whole houseful
No way to be invisible

And oh…
Oh now don’t feel sad
Oh now don’t get mad
Mad at this small minded world
No!
Oh now don’t feel blue
Cos they don’t get you
You’ll win this small minded world

You’ll win this small minded world
