have you seen what they do to innocence now?


Star

There’s always something somewhere that interrupts your business
Gets in the way of your success
There’s always something somewhere that splits the electorate in two
Renders each half ridiculous

Burn your pile of magazines
Destroy the dial on your radio
Turn your back on that television
See stars in your mind
See the stars in your mind

There’s always something somewhere that catches you on tape
everyone is someone else’s celebrity
Feel free to feel famous when you’re down-
town at the end of the world

You are free to fly…free to deny gravity……stretch time………

There’s always something somewhere that interrupts your business
Gets in the way of your success
Never let anyone anytime tell you that you’re worthless
Dream of love, take back your time!

Burn your pile of magazines
Destroy the dial on your radio
Turn your back on that television
See stars in your mind

Burn your pile of magazines
Destroy the dial on your radio
Turn back the clock on the internet
See stars in your mind
See the stars in your mind

you just have to believe
in the right to believe in yourself
as a star

hey, old friend.


Just Like Midnight

It’s always midnight
Somewhere else in the world
It’s always midnight
In a place that only lives for today

I know it ain’t right
The way our world ends tonight
But there’s nowhere to go
When you never ever never…never ever know
More than midnight

It’s always midnight
To someone without shelter
It’s always midnight
To a man with no sense of tomorrow

When you only know daylight of a lover’s life
You never get the day break, never see the heartache, never sleep off the fights
You never get more than midnight

Well, if you believe in fate then you cannot live in fear
Because nothing then is unknown
All your choices lead to here

So let’s make a toast to love
But also to the combat in life
Because struggle makes love deeper
And brings real friends to light
Just like midnight
Just like midnight

February 2010

Well, you sure look funny, girl, you’re sure lookin’ strange
You can’t stay this way, no, you just gotta change
The way you’re walkin’, talkin’, it ain’t lookin’ right
The way that you been actin’ is too far out of sight

You’ve Got Your Head On Backwards

Nastynasty week. Witnessed this phenomenon everywhere I went.
Still had a brazengood time. Always do as the alt-outsider. You?

Yeah, so the Jerden years are not where to start with The Sonics b/c
everything of theirs on Etiquette is the golden canon, blahblahblahbut true.
So start with Psycho-Sonic and Here Are The Sonics and then
download everything else in sight. This track's original was put onto a
retrospec of The Sonics' Jerden Records years called Maintaining My Cool and
was my first toe-in-the-water with this crazyfectious ragtag sound
that is (was) The Sonics. Punk before punk was even a New York Doll.
