Subject: Night train, silver moon
Beggars Blues
Night train, silver moon
You ask me why, I'm flyin'
To float on ashen wings
To choke on dust and feather
I learned you are a liar
It's right we should pretend
And lie with one another
It's right we should be twins
For I have loved no other
Look for me baby
Well I'm draggin' lonliness
And it's ten miles long
I thought I heard you scream baby
In the wheels of a train that crawls
When I don't wanna go
Cause you forget me when I'm gone, whoa
Look for me baby
Whenever ice is glistening upon the glass
D'ya ever find your dream baby
Well God knows I never hear mine close enough
I watched 'em slip away like this, whoa
I've been from one end of this street to the other
Now I want the gifts ya promised me lover
Look for me baby
Crow fly by with sister and brother
Deadly as a kiss, a sin to one another
Look for me baby
Well I'm draggin' lonliness and it's ten miles long
I thought I heard you scream baby
In the wheels of a train that crawls
And I don't wanna go
Cause you forget me when I'm gone, whoa
Night train, silver moon
You ask me why am I flyin'
To float on ashen wings
To choke on dust and feather
My dreams will go no further
Won't calm my violent river
Oh guardian of peace
Let the beggar walk in the winter
Look for me baby
Look for me baby
Look for me baby
Look for me baby
that's all
(simply one of the best songs ever written)

Yep. Mr. Lanenagan keeps moving up notches in my book. The more I listen, the more I appreciate.

Never has someone’s physical presence made such an impact on me. And it wasn’t just because he is sexy, but yeah he is.

Wish You Well
He wrote her name with a needle gun
In black and blue
Your eyes are stone, she said
Beautiful and dead
And I wish you well
I took a turn on this carousel
How long ago
Now I never can tell
I never stopped to wonder
Maybe a morning
Maybe a thousand years
I only walk high wires
I tend an eden of magnolias dying
Although I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, Lord
I wish love could live
Forever
What I once saw burning bright as hell
Now here comes that weird chill
I don't stop to wonder
I threaded her name through the needle's eye
As it frayed
Tied the ends and stitched it up
and hung my head down and wept
But I wish you well
Who'll pray for the killer's sake
I used to be so wide awake
Like certain mornings that last a thousand hours
Although I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live
Forever
I'm burning bright as hell
Here comes that weird chill
But I wish you well
Your eyes are stone, she said
Truly beautiful and dead
I wish you well
I only ride on this carousel
I never really stop to wonder
(another gem)

I always get like this but when I really like something I get a little obessed. I love the lyrics to "Only" by NIN.
am becoming less defined as days go by fading away (you might say)
I’m losing focus, kind of drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself
Less concerned about fitting into the world, your world that is
It doesn’t really matter anymore, no it doesn’t really matter, none of this really matters anymore
Yes I am alone, but then again I always was as far back as I can tell
I think maybe it is because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself, I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked-Yes it did
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me
Only me, Only me, Only me
Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab
And I had a funny feeling, like I just knew it was something bad
I just couldn’t leave it alone and I kept picking at that scab
Like it was a doorway sealing itself shut, but I climbed through
And now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be and I can
See things that I really shouldn’t see
Now I know why and now I know why things aren’t as pretty on the inside
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me

markie mark - yeah he's sexy but its more than that too. since i have so much of his live stuff and all his albums in my itunes, i listen to tons of mark during the day, i've come to love hearing the "yelling" track from his 12/03 Seattle show. that might be worthy of transcribing one day, but for now these are the ones on my mind:
Oh, it’s good
Baby
To make me forget
Oh, so good
Baby
So good to make me forget
Forget myself again
Walk down the steps to river
With my outfit, full set to deliver
And amenities done, nothing but time
On the pay telephone, I send a message to mine
Yeah, it’s good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget
Oh, so good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget
Forget myself again
Upstairs, slower on my feet
Got to get to the corner and I know it’s gettin' late
Had the cold, polar eyes, end of the line
If I don’t wake up, send a message to mine
Yeah, it’s good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget
Forget myself again
Seventeen steps down to the river
With my outfit, full set to deliver
And the flood lights shine, blindin' my eye
On the pay telephone, I send a message to mine
Back down, early in the mornin'
Same buildin', different story
Where the room is free and it’s easy to find
The tricks of her fame, send a message to mine
Yeah, it’s good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget
Oh, it's good
So good baby
Because it makes me forget
Forget myself again
Yeah, so good
So good baby
Yeah
It’s good
Baby
It makes me forget
Oh, so good
Because it makes me forget
'bout myself again
Forget myself again
Forget myself again
Baby, it’s gonna make me forget
Forget myself again

Wildflower
I have to watch you come back to earth
Now it's all I can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers
Are waiting for you
In my mind I've done good things
And never cared why
And my mind is an open door, with nothing inside
Looks like the autumn is upon us
It's turnin' so cold
When everything said's either faded out
Or written in stone
If you could find an easier road, you'd take it today
You could have taken me anywhere
You just take it away
I have to watch you come back to earth
If it's all I can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers
Are waiting for you
Have we ever done good things
And never cared why
'Cause my mind is an open door, with nothing inside

Because of this
You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in a kiss
Somethin' I've missed
You burn away my disguise and galaxies fall
Because of this
Because of this
It hurt
God knows that it does
And when it hurts sometimes
You're there to quiet my mind
Because of this
Because of this
You pry open my eyes
I resist but you do
And when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this
Because of this
Oh and it hurts sometimes
Cause you're there to quiet my mind
You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in your kiss
Something I've missed
You burn away my disguise
And the heavens fall
Because of this
Because of this
And it hurts
God knows that it does
But when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this

There is just something in the way Lanny sings this song that makes me get a litlle limp. He makes me weak!
MOCKINGBIRDS
Your voice is a mockingbird
Calling me when the day is gone
You please yourself with every word
Telling me where I'm going wrong
Telling me where I've gone wrong
Get me out it's starting to burn
I can't let go for the life of me
Some hold tight, and some turn
Another fire out in front of me
My whole life out in front of me
You can't kill what's already dead
But I don't blame you for trying it
The sun comes up and falls away
Two little birds makin' sense of it
Two mockingbirds making sense of it
