Act now, act now
and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills
you're tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go
going out of business
going out of business
Going out of business sale
Fifty percent off original retail price
skip the middle man
Don't settle for less
How do we do it?
how do we do it?
volume, volume, turn up the volume
Now you've heard it advertised, don't hesitate
Don't be caught with your drawers down
Don't be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up, step right up

― Tom Waits (nickalicious), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

This wonderful morning?
Such a sky
You never did see!

Who will buy my sweet red roses?

OLIVER

Who will tie
It up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me?

STRAWBERRY SELLER

Ripe strawberries, ripe!

OLIVER

So I could see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And I would keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long.

MILKMAID
Any milk today?

OLIVER

Who will buy
This wonderful feeling?
I'm so high
I swear I could fly.

I'm the new king
I taste the queen
in here we are all anemic
in here anemic and sweet
so go get your knife

― Deftones, Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a liar and a thief

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

― Fairy Tale of New York (C J), Thursday, 15 April 2004 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

Menstruate such a fate and I suffer for your sins

I am woman hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore

― Helen Bleeding Reddy (C J), Thursday, 15 April 2004 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women

Only trouble is, gee whiz, Im dreaming my whole life away

― isadora (isadora), Thursday, 15 April 2004 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not something that I could no longer do
I couldn't help but love you, even if I wanted to
It's an involunatry reflex of that I have no doubt
'cause lovin' you is just like breathin' in and breathin' out

(xpost)

― asylum st. spankers (thatgirl), Thursday, 15 April 2004 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

The reflex is in charge of finding
Treasure in the dark

― C J (C J), Thursday, 15 April 2004 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

two weeks pass...

It was hard enough to climb upon
It was slow-going at first
Sister, you have laid long in the sun
Aren't you dying of thirst?

Oh my dear your suit is candy-striped
And your legs are long and slim
If I whisper nothings in your ear
Will you pass them on to him?

You have laid here by the waterside
Since the day we came to town

Have you thought that you could waste away?
You don't care much for yourself
There are circles deep beneath your eyes
Why do you do this to yourself?

If you like we two could take a ride
I would love to take you down
We could watch a blue heron in flight
We could see the sights in town

You have laid here by the waterside
You have let the family down

A cold and frilly drink awaits us both
Watch me frolick in the sand
Oh dear'd you see me in the surf
With a starfish in my hand

Soon the restaurants will open up
Soon the bars will light their lights
You have aged, you must start looking up
Ugly things will come tonight

We could drive down to another beach
Even tanned your skin seems white
All our friends have gone away from here
So let's disappear from sight

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Friday, 30 April 2004 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

― doves (trisk), Monday, 28 June 2004 06:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll keep walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith
In everything...

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 28 June 2004 10:40 (twenty-one years ago)

'Cause I gotta have faith
oooooh, I gotta have faith...

― George M., Monday, 28 June 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

― C J (C J), Monday, 28 June 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm never gonna dance again; guilty feet have got no rhythm
