The Limlight Lounge: now open for the young and old

[Aulë]

The lights turn off once more, and a spotlight appears onto Pippin, who has a mic in his hand.
He points into the darkness where another spotlight flashes onto menchu, who is on the guitar. She starts strumming a few chords before Pippin starts to sing.

"Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow"

A spotlight focuses on Legoman, who is on the drums

"By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... overload"

The final spotlight now turns onto greypilgrim who's on the bass
Pulse lights start going off, and Pippin starts dancing around the stage.

"Steak Knife Caro Shark
Con Job Boot Cut

Skin that flick
She's such a little DJ
Get there quick
By street but not the freeway
turn that trick
to make a little leeway
Beat that nic
But not the way that we play

Dog Town Blood Bath
Rib Cage Soft Tail

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for

Black Jack Dope *beep*
Pawn Shop Quick Pick

Kiss that Dyke
I know you want to hold one
Not on strike
But I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic
I know you never stole one
Girls that like
A story so I told one

Song Bird Main Line
Cash Back Hard top"

Elbe comes running out of backstage, and jumps into the crowd to do a bit of crowd surfing.

"Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... of her soul
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for

Chant

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... of her soul
By the way I tried to say
I know you
Looking for
Standing in line
To see the show tonight"

All the lights, bar Pippin's spotty go out.

"And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for"

The crowd go delirious as the final light turns off....

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana steps up to the mike...another one for one in heaven

"Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
WOuld it be the same
If i saw you in heaven""

*has to stop because that song always makes her cry:( *

[greypilgrim]

Claps Charmiana on the shoulder for support and helps her finish the song duet-style. "Lets do another, funner one!" I say to her.
Alright w'ere rockin' the mic, and menchu's on the drums, elbe on keyboard/synth. Legoman, well he's on the turntables for this one I guess (no guitar) hehehe...

"Hit it!"
*elbe on keyboard with the sound effects, menchu with the drum intro, legoman is scratching the records. Where's Pippin? He'll sing this one with us too!*(we all share the lyrics)

(chorus, yelled into the mic)
"Brass Monkey!
That funky monkey!
Brass Monkey junkie!
That funky monkey!

Got this dance that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey here's how you feel
Put your left leg down your right leg up
Tilt your head back let's finish the cup

MCA with the bottle

AdRock gets nice with CCharlie Chan

We're offered Moet we don't mind Chivas
Wherever we go we bring the monkey with us

AdRock drinks 3

Double R foots the bill most definately

I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well
Got a castle in Brooklyn thats where I dwell!

(chorus)
"Cause I drink it anytime at anyplace
When it's time to get ill I pour it on my face!
Monkey tastes def when you pour it on ice
Come on yall it's time to get nice!"

Coolin' by the lockers gettin kinda funky
Me and the crew we drinkin Brass Monkey!
This girl looked fly, she gave me the eye
Reached in the locker grabbed the Spanish Fly

I put it in the Monkey mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl,
"Yo baby whasssup?"
I offered her a sip (sip)
The girl she gave me lip (lip)
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip!
(chorus)

Step up to the bar put the girl down
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around

Take a sip you can do it
You get right to it!

We had a case in the place
And we went right through it!

You got a dry martini thinkin you're cool
I take your place at the bar smack you off your stool!

And if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp!

MONKEY and PARTIES and REELIN and ROCKIN!

WE GOT THE BOTTLE YOU GOT THE CUP!
COME ON EVERYBODY LETS GET F***** UP!

Brass Monkey!
That funky monkey!
Brass Monkey junkie!
That funky monkey!"

*A wise-guy in the crowd was throwing alcohol onto us all on stage, we're all soaked in the stuff so we all hop into the river for a quick wash*

[DGoeij]

*jumps on stage, grabbing the mike*

I wish to publicly announce I'm a rambling fool! I talked about our sweet ms. Legolam as if she was an 'he'. Unforgivable, I know. Feel free to make fun of me and soak me in soar milk. Preferably right now.:o

[greypilgrim]

*says into my mic..."Yeah, me too! Sorry Pippin!"*
-->I'm at work and we're jamming this album dudes!

"Alright!....Can I get a hellyeah!?!?...OK___here we go!"
*drums hit hard, guitars are screaming, anyone not playing is MOSHING!*

"Can't you see how easily
I'm bothered by persistance?
One step from
Lashing out at you!

You want in, to get under my skin
And call yourself a "friend".
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

Is there no standard anymore!

What it takes,
Who I am,
Where I've been,
Belong!

You can't be something you're not!

Be yourself, by yourself,
Stay away from me!
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time...(drums rolling)

RE--SPECT--WALK!
What did you say?
RE--SPECT--WALK!
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve.
You cry to weak friends
That sympathize.

Can't you hear the violins
Playing your song?
Those same friends
Tell me your every word!

Is there no standard anymore?

What it takes,
Who I am,
Where I've been,
Belong!

You can't be something you're not!

Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me!

A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time.

RE--SPECT--WALK!
What did you say?
RE--SPECT--WALK!
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to ME?

NO WAY, PUNK!

(evil-insane guitar solo)

RE--SPECT--WALK!
What did you say?
RE--SPECT--WALK!
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

(repeat chorus, fade with drums and guitar.....)

"Walk on home boy..."

*I jump up way into the air and land onto the crowd. I start walking around in some crazy manner, like I'm dancing, but I'm bumping into and pushing people, as menchu plays the last drums of the song, then hop back on stage*

"Thank you!....*crowd cheers* Thank you!......*crowd cheers*

-->that song rocked the house!!!!!!!!!!

[menchu]

That must be one of the flies that scaped from my tube yesterday.

As Grey Pilgrim bows, four children came onstage and release... bats! Then there's a strange melody... [this one is not from the 80s but darn, I feel like singinig -ahem, I mean screaming- at it]

*soft, sweet voice*
And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
And if they get me take this spike to my heart and
And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me take this spike and...
*yelling*
You put the spike in my heart!!

And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones
And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there
Someone call the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me
You put the spike in my heart

And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me take this spike and

And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones
And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there
Someone call the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me
You put the spike in my heart

Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless
Night time sky
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black feeling?

And now the nightclub set the stage for this they come in pairs she said
We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey they're always there
Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse
And someone buy me roses, and someone burned the church
We're hanging out with corpses, we're driving in this hearse
Someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul

And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones
And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there
Someone call the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me
You put the spike in my heart

And as these days watch over time, and as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over us tonight
I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them hurt you now tonight
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise

Struck down, before our prime
Before, you got off the floor
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
Can you stake me before the sun goes down?

[greypilgrim]

---->the 80's music revolution is OVER! Anything goes!

*into the mic*
"You feel that!?!?!?!? YOU FEEL THAT!?!?!?!? Arh! Make some noise!!!....*crowd goes wild*...."Oooooohhhh...yeah!yeah! Go menchu! That's for you!"

*I was banging my head hard (against the air, hehehe) for that one!*-->who the heck was that band? i like...

[menchu]

-Thank you, thank you! - says Menchu.
Cool, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it right banging your head!!! They're called My Chemical Romance and are the opening band for The Used throughout Europe (I think the US too). One of the guitarists is mad!

*wonders if maybe Elb or Pip will feel like singing something quieter... well, Pip's case is special, a special case of quietness, heh-heh! Rather funniness or Tookishness in its pure state*
Hmm, why doesn't Tookish sing, by the way?????
ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana surprises the lot and starts to sing

"Darkness Darkness,
be my pillow

Take my hand
and lst me sleep

In the Coolness
of your shadow

In the silence
of your deep

Darkness Darkness
has me yearning

for a special ring
It was forged

By Sauron in the
deeps of mount doom

Darkness darkness
couldn't catch a hobbit

So it was
obliverated

Darkness Darkness
Seek revenge

In the ring
bearers heart

Ring Bearers heart

Thank you thank you you are all so presioussssssss

[Aulë]

Pippin completely ignores menchu's request, and jumps out onto the stage, mic in hand.
The lights dim, with spotlights focusing on Pippin, greypilgrim (on drums), legoman (guitar) and Elbereth (on bass).
menchu senses the inevitable, and pulls out a squeaky rubber ducky.

(GP and legoman start playing)

'Crank the music up'

(Solo by Elbe)

Bring that [squeaky duck noise] in! Uggh!
Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry
Now check this out...uggh!
In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and write

So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Bam! Here's the plan
Mother[squeaky duck noise] Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
'Cause holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yea, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it, break it down
Awww [squeaky duck noise]!
Uggh!
And like this...uggh!
Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!

The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouning off every [squeaky duck noise] wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bull[squeaky duck noise] that he learned in school

Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the mother[squeaky duck noise] Weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

No more lies (8 times, building to a crescendo)
Uggh!
Yeah!
Take it back Joe
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back Joe, come on!
Take it back Joe
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back Joe, come on!
Uggh!
Yeah!

(Fireworks start going off the stage)

Pippin yells to the crowd, "C'mon people! We're almost there! Yeaah!"

[legoman]

Decides his time has come again and steps forward
'Just a few more for those of you out there who want to rock!!'

I'm gonna need another guitarist or 3 to make this fun...
Menchu takes the drums, grey pilgrim, myself, pippin and what the heck Elbereth on guitar too!!!! erm, Dgoeij on bass and ms grenleaf on a second bass, what it'll be cool!!!!!!!

*Legoman steps up to the mike*
'I'll give this one a shot!!!'
*chugging riffs start!!*


'Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son
- I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see'

yeah, cheers, nice solos there everyone, I particularly enjoyed the twin bass duelling and the 8 minute drum part, it gave me enough time to entirely re-string my guitar!'

Rock on periaur...

[Elbereth]

*The lights dim once again...and from below, GreyPilgrim on the keyboards is lifted from a platform below the stage...candles surround him...*light music emenating from the keyboard*
Then behind him a female figure can be seen behind a silky white curtain...she begins to walk forward and the curtain is lifted to reveal Elbereth dressed in a long white dress that blows carelessly in the soft night breeze*

"Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist

Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist

The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away"

*As GreyPilgrim finishes the last chords of the song, Elbereth bows to the audience as the crowd cheers on...*

[legoman]

*quietly an orchestra creeps into some seats at the back of the stage, all the light go down and it begins*

'Darkness, you are my priestess
Darkness, you are my pride

My night in shining armour,
Disarmer of every tide
That swept the beaches clean of starfish
A death-wish to my kind

Helpless, heedless, selfish, needless to say It's no surprise
You're with me most every night
You're with me most every night

Darkness, you are my true love
Darkness, you are my bride

My consummated passion,
No fashionable disguise
A sleeping kiss and my demon twin lays dreaming By my side

Screaming, grinning,
Beating pinioned wings against the skies
I sail with you, most every night

I know the truth,
The secrets of a soul, I know, I know,
But no-one listens,
No, no-one hears

I've seen the light,
The poets bright and distant mirror,
They are searching there
I have seen them there,
For I have travelled there
And they are searching there
For a home.'

*The lights come back up and the orchestra creep away again*

[greypilgrim]

I'm leaving TTF for now, to focus on other things. Real life things.
I'm hoping to see more than 80,000 screaming fans in here when I come back!

[Elbereth]

Dressed in a white ribbed tank top and a pair of jeans, Elbereth walks onto the stage and takes a seat on a single bar stool. The stage is darkened...lit only by a single spotlight. Off in the darkness a piano begins to play.

"I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it

So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for
Something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

*legoman steps out on stage, a single spotlight shines on him as he performs a stunning guitar solo*

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love"

[menchu]

After Elbereth's perfomrance, lights keep the same pale bright on stage. A soft music begins to come out the guitar and evolves into an complete atmosphere that mixes hesitation, a light happy calmness, melancholy and...

En montañas de basura
En montañas de basura
En montañas de basura
En montañas de basura....

Ningún beso de cordura
Ningún beso de cordura
Ningún beso de cordura
Ningún beso de...

Dios me tendrá que proteger
¿Qué va a ser de mí esta vez?
¿Qué va a pasar si me entreno y no funciona?
¿Qué va a pasar si me tiro al barro ahora y sale mal?
¿Qué va a pasar si no puedo soportarlo?
¿Qué va a pasar si decido dar el paso y sale mal?
Aguantaré, podré escapar, podré volver
Mi vida va a ser mejor de lo que fue
¿Qué va a pasar si no lo es?
Dios me tendrá que proteger
¿Qué va a pasar si no lo es?
Dios me tendrá que proteger
¿Qué va a pasar si no lo es?

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks takes the stage and the lights dim...Legoman takes up his guitar, and the rest of the band a hoarde of stringed instruments, but the guitar is centerstage and Wonks begins to sing...in a sad, contralto:*



Mis días sin ti son tan oscuros
Tan largos tan grises
Mis días sin ti
Mis días sin ti son tan absurdos
Tan agrios tan duros
Mis dias sin ti
Mis días sin ti no tienen noches
Si alguna aparece
Es inútil dormir
Mis días sin ti son un derroche
Las horas no tienen principio
Ni fin

Tan faltos de aire
Tan llenos de nada
Chatarra inservible
Basura en el suelo
Moscas en la casa

Mis días sin ti son como un cielo
Sin lunas plateadas
Ni rastros de sol
Mis días sin ti son sólo un eco
Que siempre repite
La misma canción

Tan faltos de aire
Tan llenos de nada
Chatarra inservible
Basura en el suelo
Moscas en la casa

Pateando las piedras
Aún sigo esperando
Que vuelvas conmigo
Aún sigo buscando
En las caras de ancianos
Pedazos de niño
Cazando motivos
Que me hagan creer
Que aún me encuentro con vida
Mordiendo mis uñas
Ahogándome en llanto
Extrañandote tanto
Mis días sin ti
Cómo duelen mis días sin ti

[legoman]

Ooh, spanish songs *racks his brain* I've decided not to opt for either la bamba or maquerena (spelling - argh!) or even viva espana, instead I'm gonna depress you, as promised menchu.

*down the mike*
'Lets get depressing, and rock!'
*he takesm up his guitar, quickly applies the goth face paint he knows isn't gonna come off properly fro about a week, and asks politely if the rest of the guys wouldn't mind joining him for a sing song... they don't mind in the slightest*

'Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side.
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide.
I'll take it by your side.
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.
I'll take it by your side.
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide.
I'll take it by your side.

tick - tock - tick - tock - tick - tock - tick - tock
tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all

I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
I...
Fall.
Without you, I'm Nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
Without you, I'm nothing at all.'

'Thank you!'
*wipes his face - yup at least a week*

[Aulë]

Pippin comes running out onto the stage.
"We're almost at the end of the proceedings for this month's events" he yelled to the crowd, who seem disappointed.
"And I have a song perfect for the situation"
A spotlight goes on menchu, who's on the keyboard

*fireworks start going off around the stadium*

[tookish-girl]

Tookish wanders on with an acoustic:

"Kum by Yah, my Lord......"

Pippin grabs her round the neck by a walking stick and hussles her offstage.

[tookish-girl]

And she's back!
After a short tune-up, Tookish re-appears carrying a magnificent pink flying V (with glitter on it)

"Cool!" everyone exclaims!

Tookish goes u to the mike, re-adjusts the height so it doesn't hit her in the eye and speaks.

"Yeah, I'd just like to do this song, it's about Kung-Fu......."

"Huh, wah, yuh, ah. soh hi yuh............
*loud strumming*

"Kung Fu do what you do to me
I haven't been the same since my teenage lobotomy
Full on, I moved to Hong Kong
With Bruce Lee's brother and Johnny Wong

I think its strange, he's friends with Fu Manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh Daniel San made in Taiwan Come on Jackie Chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

Last night Jackie Chan came 'round
I played pool with him and we hung out
Mr. Miagi and the X-men
Called in for a while as well

Kung Fu do what you do to him
I can't live without my Kung-Fu movies
'Shanghai Killers' and 'Deadly Road'
My life was ruined when the Green Dragon closed

I think it's strange he's friends with Fu Manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh Daniel San made in Taiwan
Come on Jackie Chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh


*very cool guitar solo with lots of jumping round and striking cool poses, legoman joins her on stage and does it again, but obviously miles better, he then joins in with the uh uh uh's*

I think it's strange he's friends with Fu Manchu
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
He's in love with you
Oh Daniel San made in Taiwan
Come on Jackie Chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

Yeah!"

[legoman]

*very cool guitar solo with lots of jumping round and striking cool poses, legoman joins her on stage and does it again, but obviously miles better, he then joins in with the uh uh uh's*

too kind guys, too kind.
haha, fu menchu!!! hahaha, nice choice, I love that song!

... shame I was just getting into kum by yah! I guess we could always do 'on ilkley moor by tat'! haha

[tookish-girl]

I think we should get everyone up on the stage and sing "We are the World, We are the Children, sorry, We are the Periaur!"

What you think, shall we start lighting the candles now?

Or would "All you need is love" be better?

[menchu]

Aweeeeeee-ah! *fu menchu jumps in the air with a band on her lioneesy forehead*

Hmm, both seem to be right, perhaps the touch of the woodwind sounds more interesting to me. Yeah, my vote goes for 'All you need is love'.
*lights a scented candle* *sniff sniff* Does it smell like... sardines in oil!?!?!?

[greypilgrim]

*lights another* It smells like cinnamon...

*in my headset, I'm listening to "Electric Avenue", the headset is plugged into the keyboard, and the song is a remix*

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks jumps on stage with her shimmery red guitar and starts to play the only song she knows. It's by Death Cab for Cutie and it's great!!!*

styrofoam plates

there's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes: i threw them to sea but a gust blew them backwards and the sting in my eyes
that you then inflicted was par for the course just as when you were living.

it's no stretch to say you were not quite a father but a donor of seeds to a poor single mother that would raise us alone, we'd never see the money that went down your throat
through the hole in your belly.

thirteen years old in the suburbs of denver
standing in line for Thanksgiving dinner at the catholic chuch. the servers wore crosses
to shield from the sufferance plauging the others. styrofoam plates, cafateria tables charity reeks of cheap wine and pity
and i'm thinking of you. i do every year
when we count all our blessings
and wonder what we're doing here.

you're a disgrace to the concept of family
the priest won't divulge that fact in his homily and i'll stand up and scream
if the mourning remain quiet, you can deck out a lie in a suit but i won't buy it.
i won't join in the procession that's speaking their peace. using five dollar words while praising his integrity. and just cause he's gone it doesn't change the fact: he was a bastard in life thus a bastard in death.

[legoman]

cool, how very poetic.

*smells cinnamon candle*
*vomits*
'back in a bit, struggle on without me, I just need a drink of water'

[TheFool]

Wonko you mentioned them a while ago and I got hold of their Airplanes album... the drummer is pretty awesome! I know I know.. I'm stealing your musical influences :o, I do it most times someone mentions a band here :D like menchu's band looked them up, haven't found any 'Sacktrick' yet though I'll keep looking!. Have to delicately place the christian rock to one side too ;)

* has been contentedly watching from the back row. Seeing the stage empty, grabs guitar and struggles up to mike. :D*

"Hi guys, man we have a talented room tonight! Does anybody have an 'A' harmonica?

*thud*

"thanks! Uh, does anyone have a wire coat-hanger?"

*twang*

"cheers!" *bends coathanger into neck-thing for harmonica... you know what's coming :D*

"well this is by Dylan"

>strum strum strum

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we all do our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover, so entwined
And these visions.. of Johanna.. that conquer.. my mind

Little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He sure got a lotta gall.. to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
Ahh.. how can I explain?
It's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite, and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes everything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play.. the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions.. of Johanna.. are now all.. that remain

Cheers. *bends coathanger back into shape*

YAY DRUMMERS!!!! Good indie tastes people have over here...

*drops mandible* Really!????? I have come to the point where I just have the minimum hope that Legoman will check it, but he never does! :D
By the way, I'm translating one of their songs, but can't decide cause my mood changes too much.. :( Now you'll understand them, now you'll dislike them :D

[tookish-girl]

Yeahhhhhhhhhh!

Dylan rules man!
Keep looking for Sack Trick theFool, have you been on their website? www.sacktrick.com Best band ever. The quote legoman's currently got in his sig is from the bass player Chris Dale.

Peace!

[legoman]

Hey, no fair menchu! I've been trying to listen to pereza, I just tried again but these computers don't have the right software! And since they're uni computers I cannot download on them. I'm gonna have to wait till I get home for easter (about 1 week) then I can download stuff and listen to them there!

Hehe, James Priest is Bob Dylan (tookish knows what I mean)

Shhhh...*a single guitar begins to strum...*

So so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

[menchu]

Oops, just forgot to add the 'technical problems' comment... :rolleyes: Hahahaha!

Now, I have finished the translation of one of the themes: 'Pelos de punta' (more or less 'Hair stand on end') which I have decided to type due to one of Wonko's posts where she methinks misunderstood what I said. Girl, this is what the song is about... and my feelings.

*guitar howls in agony, despicable, honest lyrics take control*

Round a light bulb
in a dark night
fly two moths
that got in through the window.
And me, with her,
bad terms,
same as usual,
for weeks now.
I’m a cigarette butt
between her fingers, put out.

And...

I can say it louder,
but not clearer.
None of what I do you like.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand on end.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand on end.

Round a light bulb,
three in the morning,
fly two moths
and she has cleared off home.
And me, lying around
on the bed,
scraping away on the guitar
and sometimes a joint
and sometimes a wank.

And...

I can say it louder,
but not clearer (no!)
None of what I do you like.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand on end.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand on end.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand oooooon... end!

And everything full of moths,
six in the morning,
I get out of this life
by jumping out of the window.
Seven floor fall,
my body is scattering.
I appear in all news.
I’m famous one morning.

I can say it louder,
but not clearer.
None of what I do you like.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand on end.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand on end.
And I don’t know what to say anymore
that makes your hair stand on-on-on-on-on-on end!

[Wonko The Sane]

To The Fool:

Don't feel bad for taking influence from my musical tastes!! I'm not stingy like some people can be about, "I discovered that band first" kind of thing. :)

I got turned on to them by a friend and it is now my job to turn others onto them in turn! ;)

So GOOD! :) I'm glad you can enjoy Death Cab! :) I love them and I'm glad you do too. :)

[TheFool]

:cool: :cool: my problem is.. I can never spend too much on cds!

Menchu, sounds like a pretty scary song that...

and Sacktrick,- that's a weird bunch of photos on that site!!

hah.. those pics remind me: Liv Tyler got married today... heres a pic of her new husband from the 1st Spacehog album... 'spose we can do one of their songs. PLenty of people can join in, and we need someone to play the moog!

only a few

I can't decide why all of my confidence
Is left high and dry, all over and out
Truth should be known for all of it's consequence
Hangs in the balance, and shadows my doubt

There's only a few like you
There's only one 'I' to compromise
There's only a few who do
And big boys don't cry

So take me along, away from this loneliness
Facing the shadows and hiding the lights
Truth should be known, without which I'm all alone
Lost between this world and hiding from life

There's only a few like you
There's only one 'I' to compromise
There's only a few who do
And big boys don't cry

And when I get there I will find you
And when I get there I will find you

[Wonko The Sane]

Did she really get married to that guy?!?!

[greypilgrim]

I'm singing "Fields of Gold", "Take Me Home", and "Happy Birthday"...to all the fans out there in ME! *bows*
..."Thank you, thank you"...:D

[tookish-girl]

Happy Birthday to you, Jester. Have a good day!

*lights some more candles to put on a birthday cake for Jester*

[Wonko The Sane]

*Lights a stick of dynamite to put on the cake for Jester*

Let's pretend we're cartoon characters and play with explosives. :D

[tookish-girl]

Speaking of birthdays it's legoman's today!!!


Happy birthday, lego!!!

More cakes with dynamite candles I think! Hoorah!

[TheFool]

yup thats Royston... not exactly an Aragorn but hey, can Aragorn play bass? :cool:

What better way to spend a birthday than with a pyromaniacs food-fight!! (tries to remember explosives & home economics lectures) Happy Birthday to you legoman. Here is the key to the exploder button :)

[legoman]

too kid guys too kind!

I'm touched.

scary photos on the sacktrick site - never, hahahaha!
Hmmm, interesting lyrics menchu.

[Wonko The Sane]

*Hands dynamite cake to Legoman*

Blow it out, mate!

[greypilgrim]

I've got a paintbrush in my hand and I'm singing "Up On The Roof", then I slap legoman with the paintbrush before he blows out the dynamite

:D

[Wonko The Sane]

Do you WANT us all to blow up?!

[legoman]

I guess thats a yes

[Wonko The Sane]

*Blows out the dynamite and sets the cake before the Birthday boy*

Eat before Mr. Happy Explosion Man over here gets us all to bits.

[legoman]

*eats whole cake before readin the eat by date which is labelled 3 weeks ago, so he vomits and luckily puts out the burning dynamite*
'haha, foiled him'

ooh, you know I should have come up with a story that involved kitchen foil, then I could have had a proper punchline and everything - note to self, do that next time...


'so whos the barstaff now in this humble lounge?'

[Elbereth]

"I think we had a barstaff once upon a time...however since it's been so long since we've served drinks here...I guess I could serve as the barstaff until someone else volunteers.

So what's your poison Legoman?"

[legoman]

'arsenic, but put that in a thermos, I'm not gonna drink it here.
in the mean time I'll have a grin and tonic.'

*thats where the barstaff pour you some water while smiling, a lot*

still, I think the concert went well. Glad to be back here though, its a bit warmer.

[greypilgrim]

The concert went well indeed! I'm going to print it heheh... should we organize one for next month? Give it a name or something? call it may madness or something???

[Elbereth]

"Nice choice Legoman." ;)

*serves Legoman his grin and tonic* :D

"I'll get you the arsenic before you leave. And do you think we should have another concert so soon, or do you think we should wait for 'Hempdread's Hot Summer Festival II' in June?"

[lossenandunewen]

Monday, 10:24 pm.

Ewen strode into the lounge and took a secluded corner seat. She ordered a beer, NOT OATMEAL BEER, but a real beer. She listened to the music, and wondered why she didnt' see anyone around. Oh well she thought, I guess i'm drinking alone tonight She finished her beer and had a few more.

[legoman]

*Legoman wanders over to the jukebox*

'oooh how convienient'

*he chooses a nice track off the bill and ted's bogus journey album*
*it starts*
'I've been drinking, on my own...'
'I thought it was rather apt. Also I think it would be better to leave the gig a while, you know, we don't want to over-excite the general public.'

[lossenandunewen]

I was watching bill and ted's while i wrote that.. nice coincidences

[legoman]

the best!!!

Station!

God I love those films.

[tookish-girl]

They rock dude!
Excellent! *does that little guitar fingery thing*

[legoman]

'rufus, dude!'
'when did you get back in here?'

[tookish-girl]

"ONe thing I'm certain is that Joan of Arc was not Noah's wife."
"Then who was Noah's wife?"

Ahhhhhh, Keanu was born for that role!

[Wonko The Sane]

:) All his roles have that kind of Baked out surfer type attitude...Even when he doesn't mean them too.
I mean...he still talks like that. :)

Prime example: "I know Kung-Fu!" ;) SOOO Bill and Ted!

[legoman]

both of which are brilliant movies!!! so wheres the problem?

As I was saying to my good friend the other day:
You know if keanu has made a good film if at somepoint throughout it he says the line:

'wooah!'

Then it is an instant classic! :D

[Aulë]

Ack! The Lounge died :(
We'd better start something up again.

[Elbereth]

"I must agree Aule!

Therefore, this calls for serious action"

FOOD AND DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE!!!

[Celebthôl]

Hullo people, i thought id come in coz Aulë asked me to :)

So....here i am....

[Elbereth]

"Welcome!"

*hands Thol a pint*

"Drink up and be merry!!!"

Elbereth then goes up on stage and take the mic.

"Ok folks...anyone want to perform....the mic has been cold for too long....come on guys...don't be shy."

[Celebthôl]

*hands back the pint*

...i dont drink...:o....do you have tea?

*looks rather embarassed*

[Elbereth]

"Hey...no need for embarassment...it's all good"

*goes into back room and come back out momments later with some freshly brewed tea.*

"Ok... since no one is going to sing...I will."

*gets up on stage and grabs a guitar sitting near a wooden stool*

"Staying home alone on a Friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking for
I'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
Staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me"

[Celebthôl]

Hehe, thank you :)

*quietly sips his tea*

mmmmm, this is lovely :)

*watches Elbereth sing and smiles*

[Aulë]

"Oh no! It's that horrible Thol-person!"

*Grabs an inflatable baseball bat, and starts hitting Thol's head; spilling tea everywhere*

[Celebthôl]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

*falls on the floor laughing*

Hey you asked me to come, now your stuck with me :p

[Wonko The Sane]

*Appears in the lounge suddenly and, as if she never left, takes her place in the dark corner booth, drinks and heckles the singers.*

Thôl! Welcome to your coming of age! :) Come drink with me!

[Celebthôl]

*comes over to Miss Wonks and sits in the booth with her and sips his tea (which by now would be freezing cold)*

Hehe, thanx Miss Fox :), what does heckles mean?

[Wonko The Sane]

It means I shout obscenities and scream "boooo" a lot. :)
Sometimes I might throw rotten fruit. :)

[Celebthôl]

Hehehe :) i like it :D

*Heckles aswell*

[Elbereth]

"Well now...if you don't like my singing...why don't you come up here and sing yourself."

*a spotlight shines brightly in the hecklers eyes*

[Celebthôl]

UH OH SPAGHETTI O'S!!!

*Dives under the table leaving Wonks on her own*

Sowwy.... :(

[Wonko The Sane]

Awesome! :) I love singing.
Snaga says I have a good voice too. :D

*Stands up and starts spinning in place, and as she spins her normal black leather bodysuit is replaced with a black cocktail gown with irridescant red roses, she steps calmly up to the mic and begins to sing*

El octavo dia Dios despues de tanto trabajar
Para liberar tensiones luego ya de revisar
Dijo todo esta muy bien es hora de descansar
Y se fue a dar un paseo por el espacio sideral

Quien se iba a imaginar que el mismo Dios al regresar
Iba a encontrarlo todo en un desorden infernal
Que se iba a convertir en un desempleado mas
De la tasa que anualmente esta creciendo sin parar

Desde ese entonces hay quienes lo han visto
Solo en las calles transitar
Anda esperando paciente por alguien
Con quien al menos tranquilo
Pueda conversar

Mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira sin poderlo detener
Y aqui abajo unos cuantos nos manejan
Como fichas de ajedrez
No soy la clase de idiota
Que se deja convencer
Pero digo la verdad
Y hasta un ciego lo puede ver

Si a falta de ocupacion
O de excesiva soledad
Dios no cresistiera mas
Y se marchara a otro lugar
Seria nuestra perdicion
No habria otro remedio mas
Que adorar a Michael Jackson
A Bill Clinton o a Tarzan

Es mas dificil ser rey sin corona
Que una persona mas normal
Pobre de Dios que no sale en revistas
Que no es modelo ni artista o de familia real

Mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira
Sin poderlo detener
Y aqui abajo unos cuantos nos manejan
Como fichas de ajedrez
No soy la clase de idiota
Que se deja convencer
Pero digo la verdad
Y hasta un ciego lo puede ver


*As she steps down the audience is wowed, men are swooning, women's jaws have dropped, and there isn't a dry eye in the house. Wonks flounces back to her seat next to Thôl and beams proudly.*

"I'm brilliant." :D

*Has decided to take a leaf from a few other members and be overly, annoyingly, disgustingly egotistical and self-centered.*

[Wonko The Sane]

This is the dress I wore to sing. :)

Doesn't it make me look fab?

*Continues her super-annoying big-headed egotistical stupidity*

[Aulë]

Hmmmm, that's something you don't see every day: 'Bill Clinton' and 'Tarzan' in the same sentance.....;)

[Celebthôl]

*crawls back onto his seat wide mouthed*

That was great :D I love the dress :D

[Wonko The Sane]

*Grins at Thôl* Thank ye, sir. :)

I'm stunning aren't I? *winks*

*Turns to Aulë, shining her most winning smile*

You really should translate it for the full effect.

*Continues her ego-trip and is resolved not to stop until everyone else does too*

[Celebthôl]

YEAH YA ARE!! :D

*sits back grinning*

Thats right you enjoy yourself ;) :D

[Wonko The Sane]

I'm so sexy, and gorgeous. Everyone wants me! :) I can seduce you, and you, and you, and you if I want to! *points around the room at random boys and men*

I'm so pretty pretty, and so wonderful, and oh my god so talented! And I'm good at everything. :) Anybody want to watch me do anything? Cos I'll bet I'm ACE at it! :)

*Hopes the certain someone gets the hint and stops parading his self-important arse around like it's gold*

[Aulë]

Ack! I hope you're not referring about me....


*hopes that it was aimed at Thol* ;)

[Celebthôl]

HEY!! i dont have a "important arse around like it's gold" :(

[Aulë]

Maybe it was Snaga then ;)

[Wonko The Sane]

Shhh...it was none of you three boys! :)


*Parades around in her superior knowledge of grammar and generally preens her beautiful self*

[Aulë]

Who was it then????:confused:

Was it Legoman?
Webmaster?
Wonko the Insane?:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Celebthôl]

Oooooooh ;) i know who she means :D

preen away Miss Wonks....what does preen mean?

[Wonko The Sane]

Peacocks preen. :)
They fluff their feathers and make themselves pretty and ooh and aah over themselves with NO end in sight. :)

*preens some more*


And no, Aulë. It's none of those people. :) But I'm not telling you anything more. :)

[Elbereth]

The Limlight Lounge, once a haven of merriment and joy for many tweens both old and young, now lies silent...a ghostly reminder of days long past. The deep oak counters and bar stools lie empty collecting dust and cobwebs, while the many liquiors that line the pantry remain fermenting in their bottles and the taps remain dry waiting for another day where they will be foaming glasses with thier frothy brew.

As the sun rises in the east, a soft warm light peaks into the room, filling it with living shadows that change and grow and move as the light reflects off of the stain glass windows of the front foyer. The colors from the window dance about, bringing back memories of nights of dance and song that would fill the room with such happiness. In the far corner, emerging from the shadows, a solitary piano sits silent...it's keys covered in a film of dust and silt.

As I walk across the room, and observe the empty tables still holding the many upturned chairs that had once held so many happy patrons, I am saddened at how such a lively establishment could suffer such neglect. But even as the morning sun fills the room, a flicker of hope sparks in my head. Perhaps the old lounge is not dead yet! And with this new found hope surging within me, I set to work restoring the Limlight to it's original glory.

[DGoeij]

*DGoeij crawls out from underneath a table and blinks at the light*

Ouch. That was one heck of a Tween party.

*Notices Elbe*

If you could arrange breakfast, including tea with lots of milk and sugar, I'll be glad to help out cleaning the place up.;)

*raises his hand to keep the sun out of his eyes*

And a pair of sunglasses wouldn't hurt either. Quite the opposite, really.:cool:

[Elbereth]

*raises an eyebrow*

"I could get all women's lib on you right now about the cooking...but I'm in a good mood and cooking is alot more fun than sweeping up cob webs...so here you go...ENJOY!"

*hands DGoeij a broom and a pair of sunglasses from a velvet pouch that hangs loosely from her belt.*

Elbereth then departs to the kitchen while DG sets to work. In the kitchen could be heard clanging of dishes and pans and the soft pleasant whistling as she fixes the morning meal. Momments later she returns to the main room with a large tray of tea with cream and sugar. Then running out back again she returns with a large tray full of breakfast goodies. (All of DG's favorites of course ;) )

"Breakfast is served!" :)

[Aulë]

*Aule opens the Limlight Lounge door to see an empty room full of cobwebs and pools of blood.*

"Bloody Legolam has been attacking people in the dark again! She's never been the same since she became a vampiress! Has anyone survived her wanton draining of people's blood?" ;)

*Clears the cobwebs and sits down on a rather dusty looking sofa, and turns on the TV. Much to Aule's delight the cricket is on, and surprise, surprise- the Aussies are winning.*

"Huzzah!" :D

[Darkknight]

*Saturday is kids night (where anyone 18 and younger can enter)

note: honorary tweens are allowed 7 days a week


Welcome Tweens and Enjoy!

*Walks in since it doesn't look busy*

Hello, do you serve Diet Coke?

[Elbereth]

"Welcome in Darkknight! Make yourself at home...and just ignore the dilusional, funny looking Aussie watching the cricket game on the tube. He likes to play with fake blood and cobwebs for some reason...and made a mess of the place. If you don't mind taking a seat, I'll have your diet coke ready for you in a jiffy!"

[Darkknight]

"Welcome in Darkknight! Make yourself at home...and just ignore the dilusional, funny looking Aussie watching the cricket game on the tube. He likes to play with fake blood and cobwebs for some reason...and made a mess of the place. If you don't mind taking a seat, I'll have your diet coke ready for you in a jiffy!"

Thank you, Elbereth, I'll sit here.

*Watches TTT*

[Elbereth]

*Hands Darkknight his Diet Coke, and then notices that he is watching his film on a gigantic wide screen digitally enhanced entertainment system that was not there only a momment ago.*

"Hey! Who set up the Wide Screen TV!! Wow! it is amazing! It is almost as if the characters are popping right out of the screen!"

[Darkknight]

*Summons a bowl of Thai soup*

I have my ways, Elbereth. :D

[Elbereth]

"Yum!!!! Thai soup! That sounds delicious!! I think I'm going to fix me up a bowl too! Do you want it with lemongrass, coconut milk, or both?"

[Darkknight]

"Yum!!!! Thai soup! That sounds delicious!! I think I'm going to fix me up a bowl too! Do you want it with lemongrass, coconut milk, or both?"

May I try both?

[Elbereth]

"But of course you can."

Elbereth then snapped her fingers and two merry hobbits come dancing out from the kitchen carrying two pots, one filled with Lemongrass Thai soup and the other one with Chicken and Coconut milk Thai soup. The sweet aroma of the soups filling the room with its delicious scent.

Then setting out two bowls, Elbereth served Darkknight two large helpings of soup. "Enjoy! And if you need anything else just let me know."

Elbereth then crossed the room to the stage.
"Now for a little entertainment, if there are no volunteers...perhaps I can find someone who can sing a little tune for us tonight?"

Elbereth then patiently waits to see if any volunteers offer their talents for the room.

[greypilgrim]

Can I sing a tune?

[Elbereth]

"By all means oh bearded one. We have not heard your grand voice in a long time and it would be a welcomed treat!"[/B]

Then turning to the crowd Elbereth announces "Let's give a big cheer to the smooth vocal stylings of GREYPILGRIM!!!"

[greypilgrim]

LOL, yes it's been awhile and no mistake! :D Here goes!

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bull-s*it
Tree-ring
Circus...
Sideshow...

Of freaks here
In this f*cking
Hole we call L.A....(Cleveland) hehehe...
The only way to cleanse it
Is to flush it all away!
Any f*cking time!
Any f*cking day!
Learn to swim
See you drown in
Arizona Bay.

Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
And fret for your hairpiece
And feret for your Prozac
And fret for your pilot
And fret for your contract
And fret for your car

It's a bull-s*it three-ring
Circus sideshow of...

(chorus)

Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed my meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumfounded dip-s*its

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid ****
Silly ****
Stupid s*it

One big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied

Learn to swim...learn to swim...learn to swim...learn to swim...

Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's coming round to put it back the way it oughta be!

F*** L. Ron hubbard
And f*** all his clones
F*** all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabe's

Learn to swim...learn to swim...

F*** retro anything
F*** your tattoos
F*** all you junkies
And f*** your short memories

Learn to swim...learn to swim...

[greypilgrim]

(continued)

F*** smile-glad hands with hidden agendas
F*** these dysfunctional, insecure actresses

Learn to swim...learn to swim...

I'm praying for rain
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down.

Mom, please flush it all away
I wanna see it right in and down
Want to see it go right in
Watch you flush it all away!

Yeah time to bring it down again
Don't just call me a pessimist
Try and read between the lines

And I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change my friend.

I wanna see it come down
Plug it down...
Suck it down...
Flush it down!!!

*bows low* "Thank you, thank you"

[greypilgrim]

Next, I belt out "STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON" by NWA, then the lights go down, and i come out looking like Jim morrison.

"Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out a loan

Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road

(music, raindrops)

Girl you gotta love your man
Girl you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Or life will never end
Gotta love your man

[greypilgrim]

Next, I come out in dreadlocks, a tie-die t-shirt, and I'm carrying a pug-dog, a bong, and a mixing board... :rolleyes:

"I don't wanna go and party
I don't wanna shoot the peir
I don't wanna take the doggie for a walk
I don't wanna look at naked chicks and drink beer.

I don't wanna do a bong load
Throw a wrench on the car
I don't wanna hose the dog **** down
Cause I ain't gettin outta bed.

I ain't gettin I ain't gettin outta bed today
I ain't gettin I ain't gettin outta bed today

I don't wanna watch a porno
I don't wanna play guitar
I don't wanna spank the monkey
I don't wanna go down to the corner bar.

And I ain't even gotta listen
to all the stupid **** you gotta say
I don't wanna do a goddamn thing
I don't wanna wanna leave my bed today!

I ain't gettin I ain't gettin outta bed today
I ain't gettin I ain't gettin outta bed toady

[greypilgrim]

For this one, the dome opens up, and it's midnight
...

"We sail
through endless skies
stars shine like eyes
the black night sighs.

The moon
in silver trees
falls down in tears
line of the night.

The earth
a purple blaze
of sapphire haze
in orbit always.

While down
below the trees
bathed in a coll breeze
silver starlight breaks down the night.

And so
we pass on by
the crimson eye
of great God Mars
as we travel the universe...

[greypilgrim]

Now, a riot breaks out, and the National Guard is called, but there's too many people and they can't stop the music :eek: :rolleyes:
...

"Chaos A.D.
tanks on the streets
confronting police
bleeding the Plebs.

Raging crowd
burning cars
bloodshed starts
who'll be alive!?

Chaos A.D.
army in seige
total alarm
I'm sick of this.

Inside the state
war is created
no man's land
what is this s*it!?

REFUSE!!! RESIST!!!
REFUSE!!!

Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
starting to burn
starting to lynch.

Silence means death!
Stand on your feet!
Inner fear...
your worst enemy!

REFUSE!!! RESIST!!!
REFUSE!!! RESIST!!!

[greypilgrim]

Now, the corpses of all the audience rise to the sky, and their bodies start flying everywhere like an undead army, attacking everything in sight (except me, of course, because I'm jamming with Slayer for this one), and the National Guard is running around, but the music's so loud that... well, you get the point :p
...

"Funeral held for the depression of man
Holds the key to his own death!
Entering a tomb of a corpse yet concieved
Tighten the touniquet around your neck.

Sifting away the debris of a hated life
Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine!
Seeking life beyond your perishment
Repeating words echoing through your mind.

Chanting lines of blind witchery
To save yourself from extinction!
Wanting to die is your reason to live
New life born from the oppressed.

Taste your blood as it trickles through the air
Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall!
Losing ground, the fate you feel, it draws near
Fatality a reality, await the final call!

My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons in my mind commence, tearing at my sanity!
Vessels in my brain carry death into my birth
Come and die with me forever
Share insanity...

Do you wanna die!?

The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies
Tuning off my sanity reaching back into my mind
Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality...
What I am, what I want...I'm only after death!

[greypilgrim]

And lastly,

"I see a red door and I want to paint it black...
No colors anymore I want them to turn black...
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes!

I see a line of cars and their all painted black...
With flowers and my love both never to come back...
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away.
Like a newborn baby it just happens everyday!

I look inside myself and see my heart is black...
I see my red door and it has been painted black...
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts.
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black!

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue...
I could not forsee this thing happening to you...
If I look hard enough into the setting sun.
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes!

I see a red door and I want it painted black...
No colors anymore I want them to turn black...
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes!

I wanna see it painted black, painted black!
Black as night, black as coal.
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky.
I wanna see it painted painted painted painted black! Yeah!






































well, I hope you all enjoyed the show! thank you again! *bows*

[greypilgrim]

After this song, everything disappears and goes into the void, except for us.

[Elbereth]

*stares blankly*

"Um....well, that was good greypilgrim. Very powerful. Does anyone else want to take a turn on the stage."

[greypilgrim]

Thank you Elbe. Now I'm just standing there, holding a paintbrush and a Heineken :)

[Elbereth]

Stares at GP..."Why the heck do you have a paintbrush? Should I be scared?"





PS...let's try to grab a new member and get this place hopping...what do you say.

[greypilgrim]

"Misty morning, clouds in the sky.
Without warning, the wizard walks by.
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell.
Funny clothes, tinkling bell.

Never talking...
Just keeps walking...
Spreading his magic...

Evil power disappears.
Demons worry when the wizard is near.
He turns tears into joy.
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by.

Never talking...
Just keeps walking...
Spreading his magic...

Sun is shining, clouds have gone by.
All the people give a happy sigh.
He has passed by giving his sign.
Left all the people feeling so fine.

Never talking...
Just keeps walking...
Spreading his magic...

::A dark cloaked figure walks in::

::Walks to the bar, un-veils herself::

::Gets a free drink because it's Thursday:: :p

I'm Spirit :)
I just became a member of this guild today.

It's nice to see some old faces, and some new ones too. I hope to get to know you all much better, not that I'm staying here at TTF permamently. :D

"I see you had your minds all made up.
You group of pitiful liars.
Before I woke to face the day.
Your master plan transpired.

Something told me

This job had more to meet the eye.
My song is not believed?
My words somewhat deceiving?
Now what do I hold?

You've waged a war of nerves.
But you can't crush the Kingdom.
Can't be what your idols are.
Can't leave that scar.

You cry for compensation.
I ask you please just give me
Five minutes alone.

I read your eyes your mind was made up.
You took me for a fool.
You used complexion of my skin
For a counter-racist tool.

You can't burn me.

I've spilled my guts out in the past.
Taken advantage of.
Cause you know where I've come from!
My Past!

You've waged a war of nerves.
But you can't crush the Kingdom.
Can't be what your idols are.
Can't leave that scar.

I buried your compensation.
I ask you please just give me
Five minutes alone."

"Good feeling... won't you stay with me... just a little longer? It always seems like you're leaving when I need you here...just a little longer. Dear lady, there's so many things that I've come to fear. A little voice says I'm going crazy to see all my world disappear. Vague sketch of a fantasy...laughing at the sunrise like he's been up all night. Slippin and slidin what a good time but now we have to find a bed that can take this weight. Good feeling won't you stay with me just a little longer? Y'know it always seems always seems like you're leaving when I know the other one just a little too well. Dear lady won't you stay with me just a little longer. Y'know it always seems like you're leaving when I need you here just a little longer. La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la. La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la. La-la, la-la-la-la-la-laaaa..."

"What the hell's going on around here?

First off-let's take it from the start
Straight out-can't change what's in my heart
No one-can tear my beliefs apart, you can't bring me

You ain't-never seen no one like me
Prevail-regardless what the cost might be
Power-flows inside of me, you can't bring me

Never-fall as long as I try
Refuse-to be a part of your lie
Even-if it means I die, you can't bring me

You can't bring me down.

Who the hell you calling crazy?
You wouldn't know what crazy
was if Charles Manson was eating
fruit loops on your front porch!

Time out-let's get something clear
I speak-more truth than you want to hear
Scapegoat-to cover up your fear, you can't bring me

You ain't-never seen so much might
Fight for-what I know is right
What up-you got yourself a fight, you can't bring me

Stand up-we'll all sing along
Together-ain't nothin' as strong
Won't quit-we ain't in the wrong, you can't bring me

You can't bring me down!

Bring me down-you can't bring me down!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down, no!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down, you can't bring me down!

You can't bring me down!

So why you trying to bring me
So why you trying to bring me
You can't bring me down.

Just cause you don't understand what's going on
don't mean it don't make no sense!

And just cause you don't like it
don't mean it ain't no good!

And let me tell you something;
Before you go taking a walk in MY world,
you better take a look at the REAL world!
Cause this ain't no Mister Roger's Neighborhood!

Cause you say "feel like s*it?"
Yeah maybe sometimes I do feel like s*it!
I ain't happy about it, but I'd rather feel like s*it than be full of s*it!

And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry
But maybe you need to be offended
Well, here's my apology and one more thing...F*CK YOU!!!

Cause you can't bring me down!

Bring me down-you can't bring me down!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down, no!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down, you can't bring me down!

...(And the road becomes my bride)
And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay as slave

Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

... (And the earth becomes my throne)
And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean
Less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will -- yea will!

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll never mind anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home -- yeah-yeah!

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefiine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam -- yeah yeah!

"Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy.

Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.

You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears.

Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years.

[greypilgrim]

"I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me you do
Favors and then rapidly you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me

I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known that you'd
Wear out your welcome and now you see
How quiet it is all alone I'm so

I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away

You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away

(chorusx2)

GO AWAY!!!

[greypilgrim]

"Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like ****
I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it

Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do I don't whatever

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see shows over people just move along

Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do I don't whatever."

Do the songs have a title?

[greypilgrim]

I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY LONG!!!

...just a couple more...

"Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight, no
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how far I fall, nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up, though not invincible I know

I’ve given everything I need
I’d give you everything I own
I’d give in if it could at least be ours alone
I’ve given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me something
Don’t let the world bring you down
Nothing can do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help

I’ve given everything I need
I’d give you everything I own
I’d give in if it could at least be ours alone
I’ve given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world

Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it’s wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world."

[greypilgrim]

Do the songs have a title?
yes they do!

This last set was...

~5 minutes alone
~good feeling
~you can't bring me down
~wherever I may roam
~Mr. Fantasy

"Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool.

He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green.

And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.

A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in
the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he
grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.

Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song,
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.

There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she would stop living, so she decided to die.
She drove her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled

"You won't hurt me no more."
But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going.
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea,
Eventually"

"Sometimes I try to do things, and they just don't turn out the way I wanted to and I get real frustrated, and it's like, I take my time and I try real hard, but no matter what I do and no matter what I try it never works out, it's like I
concentrate on it real hard, but it never works out, it's like I need some
time to figure these things out, but there's always someone there going:
- Hey Mike, you know, we been noticing you've been having alot of problems
lately, you know, and like maybe you should talk about it, you'd feel alot
better.
And I go:
- No, it's ok, I know I have some problems, I'll figure it out myself, just
leave me alone I'll figure it out.
And they go:
- Why don't you talk about it, you'll feel alot better?
And I go:
- No, I don't want to, just leave me alone, I'll figure it out myself!
And they keep on bugging me and it builds up inside, it builds up inside...

So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way

I'm not crazy - you're in an institution!
You're the one who's crazy - you're in an institution!
You're driving me crazy - you're in an institution!

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself!

I was sitting in my room, and I was like staring at the walls thinking about
everything but then again I was thinking about nothing, and then my mom came in and I didn't notice she was there and she calls my name and I didn't hear her, and then she started screaming:
- Mike, Mike!
And I go:
- What, what's the matter?
She goes:
- What's the matter with you?
I say:
- Nothing mom.
She goes:
- Don't tell me nothing, you're on drugs!
I go:
- No mom, I'm not on drugs, I'm ok, I'm just thinking, you know, why don't
you get me a Pepsi?
She goes:
- No, you're on drugs, you're crazy, normal people won't be acting that way!
I go:
- Mom, I'm all right, I'm just thinking, you know, so why don't you, like
give me a Pepsi?
And she goes:
- No, you're crazy!
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me,
just one Pepsi...

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy - you're in an institution!
You're the one who's crazy - you're in an institution!
You're driving me crazy - you're in an institution!

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself!

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down, they go:
- Mike, we need to talk to you.
And I said:
- Okay, what's the matter?
They go:
- Well me and your mom, we been noticing lately you've been having alot of
problems, and you haven't been acting like yourself, and we're afraid that
you're going to hurt somebody, and we're afraid that you're gonna hurt
yourself, so we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put
you somewhere where you could get the help that you need...
And I said:
- Wait, what are we talking about?! We decided?! My best interest?! How can
you know, how can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to
say? I'm crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I
went to your institutional learning facilities. So how can you say that I'm
crazy?

They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally I'll be dead

I'm not crazy - you're in an institution!
You're the one who's crazy - you're in an institution!
You're driving me crazy - you're in an institution!

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself!"

It doesn't matter -the insurance money's about to run out anyhow...hehehe

"Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
because the vison is softly creeping
left its seeds while I was sleeping
and the vision that was planted in my brain
still reminds
within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobblestone
beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
that split the night
and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand people maybe more
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never share
no one dares
disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
silence like the cancer grows
hear my words that might teach you
take my arms taht I might reach you."
but my words like silente rain drops fell
--------
echo the well of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made
and the sign flashed out its warning,
in the words that it was forming
and the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls and tenement halls."
and whisper'd in the sound of silence."
