California
California (pronounced
i/kælɨˈfɔrnjə/) is a state located on the West Coast of the United States. It is by far the most populous U.S. state, and the third most extensive (after Alaska and Texas). It is home to the nation's second- and sixth-largest census statistical areas (Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and San Francisco Bay Area), and eight of the nation's fifty most populated cities (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach and Oakland). The capital city is Sacramento.
California's diverse geography ranges from the Pacific Coast in the west, to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the east – from the Redwood–Douglas-fir forests of the northwest, to the Mojave Desert areas in the southeast. The center of the state is dominated by Central Valley, a major agricultural area. California contains both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous United States (Mount Whitney and Death Valley), and has the third-longest coastline of all states (after Alaska and Florida). Earthquakes are a common occurrence due to the state's location along the Pacific Ring of Fire: about 37,000 are recorded annually.

Cort Theatre
Coordinates: 40°45′33″N 73°58′59″W / 40.759210°N 73.983°W / 40.759210; -73.983
The Cort Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 138 West 48th Street in the Theatre District of midtown Manhattan in New York City. It is owned by the Shubert Organization, the largest owner of Broadway theatres.
The Cort Theatre was designated a New York City landmark on November 17, 1987.
John Cort (ca. 1861-1929), founder of the Northwestern Theatrical Association, commissioned architect Thomas W. Lamb to design the theater. Its façade was modeled on the Petit Trianon in Versailles. The resulting 1082-seat Cort Theater is one of the few Lamb theaters still extant and functioning as a legitimate theater. The interior was designed in the style of the era of Louis XVI, with a Pavanozza marble lobby with plasterwork panels. The arch of the proscenium stage consists of perforated plaster treated with art glass, and was designed to be lit during performances. The arch still exists as of 2007, although the lighting feature is no longer in operation.

England
Englandi/ˈɪŋɡlənd/ is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west; the Irish Sea is to the north west, the Celtic Sea to the south west, while the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south separate it from continental Europe. Most of England comprises the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain in the North Atlantic. The country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but it takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in AD 927, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law—the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world—developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation. England's Royal Society laid the foundations of modern experimental science.

Sweden
Sweden (i/ˈswiːdən/ SWEE-dən; Swedish: Sverige [ˈsværjɛ] (
listen)), officially the Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: 
Konungariket Sverige (help·info)), is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. Sweden borders with Norway and Finland, and is connected to Denmark by a bridge-tunnel across the Øresund.
At 450,295 square kilometres (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union by area, with a total population of about 9.4 million. Sweden has a low population density of 21 inhabitants per square kilometre (54 /sq mi) with the population mostly concentrated to the southern half of the country. About 85% of the population live in urban areas. Sweden's capital city is Stockholm, which is also the largest city.
Sweden emerged as an independent and unified country during the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, the country expanded its territories to form the Swedish Empire. The empire grew to be one of the great powers of Europe in the 17th and early 18th century. Most of the conquered territories outside the Scandinavian Peninsula were lost during the 18th and 19th centuries. The eastern half of Sweden, present-day Finland, was lost to Russia in 1809. The last war in which Sweden was directly involved was in 1814, when Sweden by military means forced Norway into a personal union. Since then, Sweden has been at peace, practicing "non-participation in military alliances during peacetime and neutrality during wartime". However, Sweden has been a member of the European Union since 1 January 1995 and is a member of the OECD.

United States
The United States of America (commonly abbreviated to the United States, the U.S., the USA, America, and the States) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west, across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Pacific and Caribbean.
At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2) and with over 312 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and the third largest by both land area and population. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The U.S. economy is the world's largest national economy, with an estimated 2011 GDP of $15.1 trillion (22% of nominal global GDP and over 19% of global GDP at purchasing-power parity). Per capita income is the world's sixth-highest.

Emitt Rhodes
Emitt Lynn Rhodes is an American singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer born February 25, 1950 in Decatur, Illinois. When he was five his family moved to Hawthorne, California. Considered by many as "the one man Beatles," his solo recordings of the early 1970s show a clear Paul McCartney influence in both vocals and musicianship. Rhodes began his career in musical ensembles The Palace Guard (as the group's drummer) and The Merry-Go-Round (multi-instrumentalist), leaving the drums to the expertise of Joel Larson.
The Merry-Go-Round had a recording contract with A&M Records when they disbanded in 1969. Rhodes recorded songs at A&M to fulfill that contract, but A&M decided to not release it at the time. Rhodes then decided to go out on his own and bought equipment to make a recording studio in his parents' garage. Rhodes recorded his first album (Emitt Rhodes) in that home studio. He got a recording contract with ABC/Dunhill Records, who released his album, as well as the next two albums he recorded (Mirror and Farewell to Paradise). Rhodes got a $5,000 advance for Emitt Rhodes, which he spent on recording equipment. His first album was a critical success – Billboard called Rhodes "one of the finest artists on the music scene today" and later called his first album one of the "best albums of the decade". The album reached number 29 on the Billboard charts. The single "Fresh as a Daisy" reached number 54 on the pop chart. Meanwhile, shortly after Emitt Rhodes was released by Dunhill, A&M decided to release their old recordings of The American Dream, which confused record buyers. Mirror was released in 1971 and did reach the top 200 on Billboard's album chart. In 1973 Dunhill released Rhodes' final album, Farewell to Paradise.

Saint Francis came to my town
And visited the cemetery.
The dead got up and everything
Became one big one big cacaphony.
They all went down the social and
They claimed their supplementary.
And all the necrophiliacs
Were walking 'round in misery.
The rotting mass of calcium
Was shopping in the Superstore,
Careering down the aisles
Like one big psychopathic carnivore,
The shelf-stackers were alert,
In ecstasy crashed to the floor,
And meanwhile the {? sane ?} was
Growing crazy at the fire-door.
Beautiful sparkling healthy spa water of Bath
And Avon.
I! hate! {? Menace! Yeah! ?}
I! hate! {? Menace! Yeah! ?}
I! hate! {? Menace! Yeah! ?}
A million stars light
This beautiful night
This is not a night to die
Let me sing and dance
Beneath the sky
I have such love to give
To give
I want a chance to live
Live
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give
Asking nothing in return
Free
Free to find my way
Free to have my say
Free to see the day
Like I used to be
Like a wild bird free
With all of life in me
Live
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give Asking nothing in return
Though this world tears us apart
We're still together in my heart
I want the world to hear my cry
And even if I have to die
Love will not die
Love will change the world
Live
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give Asking nothing in return
I'll love until love wears me away
I'll die and I know my love will stay
in the moment I was losing my head
and I was
reachin' forward I was already there
readin' too much and losin' my head
this information caused a cut in the line
now I'm remembering good and thinking so much it's so nice.
the print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I'll have to put it away now
in the morning there are things to be read
words to be said and food to be fed but I
won't be there. I'll be clutchin' on a
megaphone pointed at my head, would you be
there, would you kindly, scream this word for word so loud and clear
I can't remember it all, it needs to be clear, I tell you, if
the feeling drops out of your voice, would you
kindly pick it up
this is how, I'll go out tonight
dressed in blue, by the book tonight
this is how, I'll go out tonight
but I don't need a book.
we're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're
talkin' seas, we're talkin' everything you need
you should be workin' now, not only askin'
how and the whereabouts of where you'll
be. I don't suspect you will be thinking
when the brain is dead and the mind
has taken over, this is a skill, this
is not a game, where have you been,
are you with us? can you hear us? got
the megaphone pointed at you
The dust had just settled
She's wonderin', what happens now?
I don't know where I am
I've never seen this place before
Am I dreamin'?
Or is this the real world?
Your love's too good for me
Lay with me lady, you're drivin' me crazy
I promised you all my life
These things that sustain me, oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry
The sun had just faded
She's wonderin', where are we now?
I don't know who, who I am
I aint never felt like this before
Am I dreamin'?
Or is this the real world
Your love's too good for me
Lay with me lady, you're drivin' me crazy
I promised you all my life
These things they sustain me, oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you lord
I'll never hang you lord
I'll never hang you lord
I'll never hang you lord
I'll never hang you lord
Lay with me lady, you're drivin' me crazy
I promised you all my life
These things they sustain me, oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry

through the door, pick you from the floor

soft mellow voice or the
loud boisterous voice of an opera, opera lady!
with that morning humor,
morning humor
the kind that wakes you up.
the kind that's in my blood
morning humor, morning humor, yeah...

The beach is washing away

The high tide of our love is here to stay
We will have the power
To do the good and the true
This is the hour
The whole world is waiting for you
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We can come together
The light is our way
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We belong together

Get ready
Get ready
Get ready
you got it bad
you got it good
you saw the sun
like you knew that you would
we gotta make this better
gotta make this right
ain't no peace in the valley baby
'til the darkness turns to light
can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
high above the lamentation up on the
desert plane
do you hear that children's song?
can you take me there?
lost in the maya
overboard in the sea
there was void and then that water broke
then something called "me"
now a trip to the desert to look at the sky
it's like never-ending mirrors
playing tricks on my eyes
can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
high above the lamentation up on the
desert plane
do you hear that children's song?
can you take me there?
the face and ghost my guide
i must move on
it's the face of one ravaged by love
it's both dead and alive
you got it bad lover
no you got it good
you saw the sun
like you knew that you would
in spite of my confusion
up above all my pain
I gotta death-grip on this vision
here we go again
the face and ghost my guide
i must move on
it's the face of one ravaged by love
it's both dead and alive
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
can you hear them singin'?
can you hear them singin'?
can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
do you hear that pilgrim's song?
can you take me there?
libra, take my eyes from me
oh libra, make me blind so that i can see
everyone's dreamin' of a truth to be
everyone's changin' channels on a big tv
oh libra, like a balance
time tried to hold her, tried to tie her down
but i beat the clock,
now the balance makes my world go round,
oh libra, like a balance
libra, my love
it was an evening i shared with the sun
to find out where we belong
from the earliest days
we were dancing in the shadows
more wine
cuz i got to have it
more skin
cuz i got to eat it
inside the outside, by the river, used to be so calm
used to be so sane
I rushed the lady's room
took the water from the toilet
washed her feet and blessed her name
more peace
is such a dirty habit
slow down, we're too afraid
let me ride
let me ride
burn my eyes
I liked the way my hand looked on your head
in the presence of my knuckles
but the beauty of this vision alone just like yesterday's sunset
has been perverted by the sentimental
and mistaken for love
the felix of your truth will always break
it and the iris of your eye will always shake it
and the armies, the armies I have created
will always hate it
will always bait you on
I liked the way my hand looked on your head
in the presence of my struggle
but the beauty of this vision alone I can't shake from my tree just yet
it keeps invading all my private moments
If you've ever known love
If you've ever know peace
If you've ever know joy
Make sure that you are on time
If you've ever known war
If you've ever know pain
If you've ever said no
Make sure that you are on time
You are on time
You are on time
We are on time
For you are the world Fighting, mating, warring
You are all this now
Be aware, not scared
Look at me now
Silence
I say
Battle flag in the bassinet
Oil and blood on the bayonet
Crowded downtown hit the floor
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
Aint no game so forget the score
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
a faceless generation devoid of love?
The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
Tell me what kind of God is that?
Ain't nothing more godless than a war
So what are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
A faceless generation?
Don't you feel so very pointless in the feelin' of the rain
and the violence of the sun?
I must confess that I feel graciously bigger than the rain
and hotter than the sun
What do you do, what do you say
when the blood you've spilled is of your loved one
And the kremlins of the world fall all around you?
We deal in dreams
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts
Oh fearful crying people
The fool is by the river, watching but not swimming
It takes energy not to get used to it
and fall into this place
Where everything runs together and dies
This quiet kingdom, she is now
and forever will she be
in silent celebration
We deal in dreams
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts
let the world be the world
let the dream unfurl
let it run its own game
let it dance with itself
I didn't put it here
gonna let it ride
gotta master, crazy on the other side
wakin' me up
I ain't got no brains
I can't trust my eyes
what good's a beautiful day
if you can't see the light?
I can't find my fate
well then I must be blind
with the force and fire of love
that's takin over my mind
wakin' me up
obligin' me to the sun
obligin' me to the sun
sun sun merciful one
sun sun
sun sun won't you lay down your light on us
sun sun
let the world be the world
let the girl be the girl
let her beauty move ya
let her dance be your guide
let your hunger grow
but don't eat the fruit "too low"
keep climbin' for the kisses on the other side
wakin' me up obligin' me to the sun
obligin' me to the sun
sun sun merciful one
sun sun
sun sun won't you lay down your light on us
sun sun
all we need is to come into the sun
we've been out in the dark for so long
if I told you he was your brother
we could reminisce
then you would go about your day
if I said you ought to give him
some of your water
you'd shake your canteen and walk away
the perception that divides you from him
is a lie
for some reason you never asked why
this is not a black and white world
you can't afford to believe in your side
this is not a black and white world
to be alive
I say that the colors must swirl
and I believe
that maybe today
we will all get to appreciate
the beauty of gray
if I told you that she was your mother
we could analyze the situation and be gone
if I said you ought to give her
some of your water
your eyes would light up like the dawn
the perception that divides you from her
is a lie
for some reason you never asked why
this is not a black and white world
you can't afford to believe in your side
this is not a black and white world
to be alive
I say the colors must swirl
and I believe
that maybe today
we will all get to appreciate
the beauty of gray
look into your eyes
no daylight
new day now
see me walking aimlessly about,
don't know whether to whisper or to shout,
i could be wrong, i could be very, very right.
here i stand, innocence in my room
she's naked in my bed, wild thoughts inside my head
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon.
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
i could have been to you tonight
what i've wanted to be all my life
the day is gone now i can see.
i can't sustain your love
i can't complain your love
i can't explain your love
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
sister yeah...
let's gather round the supper table,
and tell the boy he's just as able
to die with his boots untied
evening's come, let's settle down
and sing one more song without a frown
sing for, sing for our voices
and more, sing for our choices,
just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie...
love must stand when raising a man... raising a man...
to teach him direction and the best that he can
and lesson one, you will run,
sink into your chair with fright
a baby boy is born today
where comes he from, where will he play?
will he run or will he stand?
now i lay him down to sleep
a state of mind, his soul will keep.
i give him words, words to say
that he might love, love everyday
just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie...
love must stand when raising a man
to teach him direction and the best that he can
and lesson one, you will run,
sink into your chair with fright
Never used to be so tired
Never used to be so anxious
Never said, "used to be", so much
If this is love then I
Have been so sorely mistaken
If this is peace then I
Have been so falsely awakened, yeah
Please don't tell me what love is
Let's look together
And find out what love is not
I've been to every book
I've been to every seer
In order to find the truth
As if it lives somewhere
I want to uproot my violence
I want to live like a saint
I want to give up everything
Just like the businessman wants to gain
Just like the businessman wants to gain
Please don't tell me what love is
Let's look together
And find out what love is not
Please don't tell me what peace is
Let's look together
And find out what peace is not
And find out what peace is not
And find out what love is not
And find out what peace is not, yeah
Oh, oh yeah
Never used to be so tired
Never used to feel so anxious
Never said, "used to be", so much
If this is love then I
Have been so sorely mistaken
If this is peace then I
Have been so falsely awakened, oh my Lord
Please don't tell me what love is
Let's look together
My ammunition won't load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone
You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool
Somehow this dime store ring still shines like a diamond to you
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Thought I knew the rules, thought I held it in my hand
Thought I was bulletproof till the blood pooled up in the sand
Are you a satellite, a shooting star or a dove?
Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Burns me up like the sun
Your mystery
Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend
Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man
And fear is like a fallen bridge broken from an edge
Pollution, Cain, and misery
Oceans of golden mystery
Armies boisterous and armies loud
Portraits of a vicious crowd
Talk to me, talk to me now
Hey man, you're all that I have
Me, myself, myself and I
Were born to work and born the die
I have chosen my anthems
Of these I am proud
Portraits of a divided crowd
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes, the confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door
Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes, the confusion that was hers
Belongs now, to the baby down the hall
Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angels open her eyes, pale blue colored iris
Presents the sun and puts th glory out to hide, hide
Oh, now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
all the things that they make you say
and all of the love that you hide away
I'll pick you up and it will be all right
I'll pick you up and it will be tonight
she rode a horse into my head
she won't discipline the children
and now they're running wild on the beach
and I don't care
oh, I don't care

I tried to think of something deep to say

the subculture of my dreams

they called you queer

people should not be afraid
we came to the earth to graze
no shortcuts to the face, this means you
a child gives you his shoes
people should not be afraid
we cam to the earth to graze
if it slithers into the haze
it can't be true
a child gives you his shoes
in the early morning, cut her down
this pill, she needs your love
forget your mother and your father
they aren't important son
we came to the earth to graze
everyone's diggin'in
now there's no time to live
live
people should not be afraid
the artist does figure eights
but will it stand the test of time
or will it rot
like the mission that tried too hard
in the early morning, cut her down
this pill, she needs your love
forget your mother and your father
everybody has a ghost
everybody has a ghost who sings like you do
yours is not like mine
but it's alright, keep it up
boy loses rib in new orleans
he can't help eyein' up the whores
under the bridge
boy loses rib and lets a hellified cry into the dark
where did i go wrong?
where did i go wrong?
i never needed this before
i need a woman to help me feel
everybody has the dream
everybody has the dream like a world tattoo
yours is not like mine, it's alright, keep it up
the scalped dives into the skin
good doctors never leave a scar
no proof again
i'll taake the myth, you take the blood
it's all the same to the world dreamer
it's all the same in the end
boy loses rib in new orleans
he trades some ether for a chance
under the bridge
boy loses rib as he's summoned to the mud
flat on his back
Gotta find a way to flow
in a host of things that grow,
where babies become old
and love is bought and sold.
The mouth of god is wide,
so let's just fall inside
and let the whole damn thing go
and flow...
Everybody's here
Mystery and beer
I have nothin to fear
Cuz I found a way to flow
in a host of things that grow
where babies become old
and love is bought and sold.
The mouth of god is wide,
so let's just fall inside
and let every damn thing go
and flow...
Everbody's here
The mystery is near
I have nothin to fear
Cuz I found a way to flow
in a host of things that grow
these babies become old
and love is bought and sold.
The mouth of god is wide,
so I'll just fall inside
and let every damn thing go
and flow...
Everywhere we go
(come inside)
Everywhere we go
You got it bad
You got it good
You saw the sun
Like I knew that you would
We gotta make this better
Gotta make this right
Ain't no peace in the valley baby
'Til the darkness turns to light
Can you hear that children's song?
Can you take me to that place?
High above the lamentation up on the desert Plane
Do you hear that children's song?
Can you take me there?
Lost in the maya
Overboard in the sea
There was void and then that water broke
Then something called "me"
Now a trip to the desert to look at the sky
It's like never-ending mirrors
Playin' tricks on my eyes
Can you hear that children's song?
Can you take me to that place?
High above the lamentation up on the desert plane
Do you hear the children's song?
Can you take me there?
The face and ghost my guide
I must move on
It's the face of one ravaged by love
It's both dead and alive
You got it bad lover
No you got it good
You saw the sun
Like I knew that you would
In spite of my confusion
Up above all my pain
I gotta death-grip on this vision
Here we go again
The face and ghost my guide
I must move on
It's the face of one ravaged by love
It's both dead and alive
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Can you hear them singin'?
Can you hear them singin'?
Can you hear that children's song?
Can you take me to that place?
Do you hear that pilgrim's song?
Can you take me there?
It came without warning
A love like I ain't never felt before
She's like my destiny calling
And she's lying there all naked on the floor
And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'...
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain tonight
She came without warning
like an angel come from heaven in the night (in the night)
the kiss makes me tremble
so she pulls me close and holds me oh so tight.
And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'...
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain
I give you life
(ooohhh)
I'll give you life, baby
(oooh)
I'll give you love
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain
la dah dah dah
The lighthouse lost its light on her a long time ago
She got so used to it, this long and winding road
I'll never ever let you go, oh
I can't believe she whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe
Oh no
This ship of fools sails west by night-time and by day
Circumnavigates her globe like a bullet gone astray
Come on home baby, where it's safe
I can't believe she whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna breathe
Even if you drink from the chalice of cheap escape and fade away
I'll never ever let you go
I can't believe she whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna breathe
She whispered to me
Now I can't believe she whispered to me
i watched a man tell his boy
about the pains of reality
then i watched that child grow into a soldier
defending contradictions and paving the way...
who put the fear in here?
i watched a miracle in the making
then had a scientist tell me that i
couldn't live without breaking,
my habits of fearlessness and crying for the world...
who put the fear in here?
was it you, who finally shed the tear?
someone told me that two lovers bound
could put another sun in the sky
if you believed it, there'd be
twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
if i believed it, there'd be
twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
i thought i knew exactly what scared me
and i would never have to run again.
so i went to sleep and began dreaming
of perfect lives in paradise
woke up and started screaming...
who put the fear in here?
who put the fear in here? oh no...
was it you who finally shed the tear?
then who put the fear in here?
What do you say to the child
Whose god is in the T.V.?
And what do you say to the man
Who blames the world on T.V.?
They don't even know how to sing my song
But they won't even try it
With me, with me, with me
Who is standing over playing like
The teacher
Harnessing the learned
Who try but can't leave her
I want to beg the liars to lay down
Their sirens
That play like the angels
To my deep desire
Free my son
Let him walk right through the rain
Free my son
Make him waterboy
Free my son
There he stands down on the shore
Free my son
What do you say to the man
Who treats her like a mother?
And what do you say to the man
Who treats him like a father?
"Come and see my heart. Come inside
And learn"?
Come and see my soul, it's like yours,
I say it's just like yours"?
Who is making over
Idolizing princes banishing the dreamers with
Barbed-wire fences
And telling all the children who run to
Her feet
That they have no vision
And love's all diseased
Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa
Ride a Harley through the heart of danger
Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream
I was seventeen
GIve up my house and sleep for nights on concrete
Meditate with all the bums on vine street
No more runnin', no more hidin' in the house of the dead
I think I'll grow some dreads
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
I dream of love and the empty graveyard
I dream of vegas and the transcendental wildcard
A place where no one waits to die before they go into the light
And just the blind have sight
I follow nothin' but the compass of my instinct
No matter where he leads, I know he'll take me to the brink
And leave me there, all by myself, and all alone with my dreams
Can you hear my scream?
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society (x2) will never dream like me
Society (x3) will never dream like me
I know that I should think about giving
And think about
Helping out
And think about
Think about living
But I can't seem to rescue myself
What about my bank account
And my holy desert shield
That keep me dry under the arms?
Flags and mental jewelry's all I know
And they keep my happy and warm inside
So I said unto this man
"Who are you and where do you come from?"
And he proceeded to tell me many things
But I said nothing at all
For the flowers in the corner, by the room,
In the window, and the sun
Said it all
At least they said they would
Said they could
Mama said they would
like himaalan cold winter
these jaws of kali yuga
yeah it's a crazy kind of cold
a lifeless slumber in a stranglehold
yeah tibet, she can't even touch this
I'd rather freeze in her forests
we're in a spiritual winter
and I long for the one who is
Fire!
amongst the dreamers
you are in my heart
like the sun on the icecaps
my only friend in the prison
the long lost meaning to the story, story
the divine and ancient wisdom
how could it be that you've graced my night?
like a pardon from the governor
like a transplant from the donor
like a gift from the one who is
Fire!
amongst the dreamers
you are in my heart
Fire!
amongst the dreamers
you are in my heart
in a place where everything dies
it's you I follow
see by the fire
of my darlin', yeah!
Fire!
amongst the dreamers
you are, you are
in my heart
like a pardon from the governor
like a transplant from the donor
Darling, I feel like a god when I am next to you
Something sacred, someone straight and true
Tell me, do you feel the same way too?
Darling, your face is radiant with the light of love
The kind that's sent straight down from up above
And now you're all I'm thinking of
Thinking of
Thinking of
Thinking of
Don't you give me loving like a revelation
Don't you make me burn and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
Goddess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't you ever leave
Darling, I feel like a god when I am next to you
Something worth the worship of this honest fool
Tell me do you feel the same way too?
Like I do?
Like I do
Like I do
Don't you give me loving like a revelation
Don't you make me burn and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
Goddess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't you ever
Don't you give me loving like a revelation
Don't you make me burn and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
Goddess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't leave
Don't leave
Oh yeah
Don't leave
Don't you give me loving like a revelation
Don't you make me burn and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
Goddess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't you ever
Don't you give me loving like a revelation
Don't you give me love
Don't you give me love
Don't you give me love
Don't you feel the same way like I do?
Like I do
Like I do
In the country
The farms and the orchards swell
With oranges and peaches
A little bit of truth as well
In the city
Politicians beat their drum
All the suits come a runnin'
It's all degeneration
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
In the country
Everybody thinks we're dumb
But we built the fire
Why'd you come and get you some?
In the city, skyscrapers touch the sky
What's the use in being so high up
When it's only gonna bleed you dry?
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
In the country
The stars shine brighter
Than in the city
In the country
In the country
In the city
I turn on the radio
Only leaves me down with the question:
What happened to our generation?
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Oh yeah, yeah
Life Marches On
Oh yeah
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
it's easier not to be wise
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this!
it's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve
alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there by yourself chained to fate
oh, now, we took it back too far,
only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
all come runnin' back to you,
all these rhythms that you hide
only love can save us now,
I'm a soldier on the field
Fighting for you, fighting for me
You can see it on our faces
Like the bullets leave traces
You can feel it for real
You can't imagine the pain of my baby so far away
So far from my home...
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh shed some grace!
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
I'm a soldier on the field
Waiting to die, praying to live
To survive one more day
But my hope begins to fray
It's my flesh against the steel
You'll never know what I've known
You'll never see what I've seen
I hope we make it home...
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Oh, when they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
So far from home
She cries, politics aside
What I'd give to have him here tonight
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh, ?
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh, ?
You don't need no friends
get back your faith again
you have the power to believe
another dissident
take back your evidence
it has no power to deceive
I'll believe it when I see it, for myself
I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive
I sit with them all night
everything they say is right
but in the morning they were wrong
I'll be right by your side
come hell or water high
down any road you choose to roam
I'll believe it when I see it for myself
I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive, yeah
darling, I believe, Oh Lord

at the bottom of the sea, yeah yeah
I'll believe it when I see it for myself
I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive
I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset
I can see the sunset
I can see the sunset
I don't need no one
Ohhhh
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
To tell me about heaven
I believe
if the mother goes to sleep with you
will you run and tell geraldo
if the mother bears your children without tears
without the usual costs of labor
if the mother goes to bed with you
will you run and tell the neighbors
will you hide behind that get up that you wear
or will take te first ear that comes into contact with your blade
like peter did on the hill
will you call her a freak?
will you call them freaks?
if the mother goes to bed with you
will you run and tell the papers
how she picked you from a line up in downtown philadelphia
with a cigarette hangin' out of your mouth and henry miller in your back pocket
you little fucker
if the mother goes to bed with you
in the bowels of the cathedral
will you render her asunder with what she really needs
or will you crash that beautiful silence with some talk about
finding yourself in you mother's arms
will you call her a freak
will you call them freaks
or will you call them gods
will you call them freaks
you know you sperm is weak
you never looked, so high
to ever find her so low
you did not have to go, that far
to show her you were holy
now you know they're gonna come for you
and drag your silly name into the mud
if the mother bears your children without tears
forever may not be long enough for my love i have a will

always fighting the storm
afraid to suffer the wound
all praise to that conscious one
who always suffers the wound, child
suffers the wound, child
hey!
suffers the wound!
never turns from love
give it up
always try to explain
afraid to lay naked in the sun
he's crazy, she dances in the light
the crowd jeers, they won't put up a fight
hey!
suffers the wound!
never turns from love
give it up
until my heart is free to roam
she won't never leave me alone
saved by the river now
saved
always fighting the storm
buildin' shelter to house our lack of love
we're only here for a while
tear it down and suffer the wound
hey!
suffers the wound!
never turns from love

until my heart is free to roam
she won't never leave alone
saved by the river now, saved

saved by the river now
always suffers the wound, never turns from love
never turns to hate
an invisible mississippi, ganges or a nile
I can feel the quiet river rage
forcin' my lips into a smile
don't believe that the world is empty
just too noisy to hear the sound
I can feel the quiet river rage
and I'm fallin' down
saved by the river now
I was looking everywhere to find you
By and by, my intentions were good
But I know I don't watch where I'm walking
When I know I should
If the nighttime turns into day before I say what I mean
God damn all these obstacles before me, yeah
Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
If the quicksand of love and deception
Finds a way to come between you and me
Don't fret, I'm gonna cut through the darkness and set us free, yeah
And if you wanna just lay with me darlin, let the mystery silently speak
Take my tongue, take my lungs if you want, I'll even try not to breathe, yeah
Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes I just close my eyes
Every time I see your face
I know you are the one (I was looking everywhere to find you)
I know you're more than wonderful
I know you are the one
Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
Yeah, oh, oh, yeah
Every time
I see your face
Every time
Deep enough for you
Deep enough for you
Deep enough for you
Deep enough for you
We hit the room, me and my crew and it was cool
Until we bumped into you now it's been years
But there you were like a Mustang
Redlinin' every single gear with a man
That danced like he was born in '49
But lost his groove back in ancient times
I wanna know are those replacement hips?
Is that a swatch watch? Do you know what time it is?
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh, tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
We hit a couch, the place was packed with sweaty palms
Sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs my mouth was dry
My brain cold high, the groove was right
So I decided to ignite your eyes met mine
You skirt began to rise and so did I
Now you know that I took that prize
In the middle of the club, in the middle of the club
In the middle of club, now tell me
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh, tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh, tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough?
Oh, tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me, baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough?
So many people
I know only a few
Yes I may say that I love this man
And that man
But what keeps me from loving you?
Date of birth, geography
The color of my skin, ideology
You got ten fingers, two legs, on nose
Like me
Just like me
And it's as simple as that
You see
And if I don't know who to Love
I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust
I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill
I may kill myself instead
From the mouth of a baby
Will come the world saving words
That will save us all
And from the lungs of a child
Will come the everlasting breath of God
Increasing peace and honesty
And not carrying on Despite of me
Don't you know
This ain't about no race, no creed
No race, no creed
And it's as simple as that
You see
And if I don't know who to love
I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust
I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill
No suicide
I was lost, I am found
All the buildings are burnt to the ground
I can't stay, I can't leave
I can't do no nothing?, not a thing
Do you see your son down on the street?
Is that a gun or just the father that he needs?
Do you cry, do you weep?
Do you see the world as only tragedy?
In the early mornin' there were revelations in my mind
I can hear the masters cryin' out from their graves most every night
Bring the people together
Bring the people together
It's a crime, this dark time
We wait for presidents who never turn the tide
I find it hard, I find it strange
Go to the movies, have Picasso paint your cage
I've had enough, I think I'm done
So sell me down the river, I'll be waiting there in love
In the early morning there were revelations in my mind
I can hear the masters crying out from the graves most every night
Bring the people together
Bring the people together, yeah
Bring the people together
Bring the people together, yeah
Bring the people together
For the sake of these children we leave behind
Can you remember a time, a time, a time?
I was lost, I am found
All the buildings are burnt to the ground
I can't stay, I can't leave
I can't do no nothing?, not a thing
Tell me, is this a nation? Is this a tribe?
Is this the world or just some everyday beehive?
We need it now, yeah, we need it quick
Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused for being strange
Our love is no other than me alone, for me all day
Our love is like water, pinned down and abused, hey
All over you, all over me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold
The sea, the sun, the fields, the tide
Pay me now, lay me down
Oh, yeah
Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused for being strange
Our love is no other, than me alone, for me all day
Our love is like angels, pinned down and abused, hey
All over you, all over me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold
The sea, the sun, the fields, the tide
Pay me now, lay me down
Pay me now, pay me now
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
All over you, all over me
All over you, all over me, yeah
Pay me now, lay me down, down
Pay me now, pay me now
Lay me down, lay me down, lay
Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused for being strange
Our love is no other
Than me alone, hey, hey, hey
All over you, all over me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold
The sea, the sun, the fields, the tide
Pay me now, lay me down, down
Pay me now, pay me now
All I need
Is right here on my sleeve
You get what you get with me, girl
You get the grace and the stain
Count to three and I'll be on my knees
Tryin' to set you free, girl
Tryin' hard to make you see
My love is here to stay
My love is here to stay
Open your heart
You can find your own way
I found they're all the same
My love is here to stay
All I need
Is witherin' on that dream
The fruit of all knowledge, darlin'
The one you were supposed to give to me
Now I sit here
Like a buddha in this chair
Watchin' your spectacle unfold
I'm sorry, I don't mean to stare
But baby, my love is here to stay
My love is here to stay
Open your heart
You can find your own way
I found they're all the same
My love is here to stay, yeah
Like the sun that shines behind the mind
Like the one before all days go by
Like the sun that shines behind our
Like the sun that shines behind the mind
Oh, it shines
Oh, how it shines
All I need
Is right here on my sleeve
The world is burning down
Can't you smell the smoke in the air?
War, disease, and famine
This demon, she is everywhere
Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we got 10,000 years
Devoted to nothing
But tomorrow and yesterday
If all of the ignorance in the world
Passes a second ago
What would you say?
Who would you obey?
I am here to say that
Peace is now
Mr. President
I hereby pardon you of all your crimes
For they are just as much mine
Selfishness and separation have led me
To believe that the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
If all of the ignorance in the world
Passes a second ago
What would you say?
Who would you obey?
I am here to say that

she was a bitch, but I don't care
she brought our food out on time
and wore a funky barrette in her hair
come on baby leave some change behind
she was a bitch but good enough
to leave some change,
everybody's good enough for some change
the girl's got family
she needs cash to buy aspirin for her pain,
everybody's good enough for some change
we all get the flu,
we all get aids
we've got to stick together after all,
everybody's good enough for some change,
the weavers live up the street from me
the crackheads, they live down the street from me
the tall grass makes it hard to see
beyond my property
hey man, this is criminal,
this hard line symmetry
of people and pets
we don't bother anyone
we keep to ourselves
the mailman visits each of us in turn
we don't bother anyone
we keep to ourselves
the mailman visits each of us in time
gotta live, gotta live, gotta live

light up a cigarette she said
and calm the fuck down
you got a serious side to you
that could give the whole world a frown
now nothin' really matters to me you see
check out these holes in my gown
let your eyes lose their focus a little
let your guard come down
i was thirsty for everything
but water wasn't my style
guess we might have to teach me somethin'
guess we might have to show me how
now put out that cigarette she said
somethin' ain't right in here
it's tied to the both of us, I ain't sure now, it isn't clear
we could have been born helpless children
beggin' for our next meal
I could be a voodoo lady, just a classy hooker
playin' the field
classy holy hooker!!!
hey! I've made up my mind, yeah
I came to see your sign
disappear this mornin' but come back tonight
light up a cigarette she said
and calm the fuck down
relax and let your ears hear this beautiful song
that's hidin' underneath the sound
underneath the sound!!!
I made up my mind
I came to see you fly
disappear this mornin' but come back tonight
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
I was thirsty for everything but blood, wasn't my style!
voodoo lady
did I dream you up or are you for real?
are you for real?
naked lovers feel the blood beneath their veins
electric nerves communicate
with tiny explosions through our brains
who is this energy that never left or came?
give rise to passion the only glory
of this human story
I give my heart and soul to the one
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
looking back to our birth, forward to our demise
even scientists say, everything is just light
not created, destroyed but eternally bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
in spite of the hate
who put the flower in the barrel of that gun?
who lit the candle that started the fire,
burnt down the fortress, the throne?
who could house all the refugees in a single shack
or a lowly bungalow?
who lives in a different dimension, free from the
struggles we know?
I give my heart and soul to the one
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
looking back to our birth, forward to our demise
even scientists say, everything is just light
not created, destroyed but eternally bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
they live in the light
we made it to the moon
but we can't make it home
waitin' on a rescue that never comes
made it to the moon
but we can't make it home
maybe home is where the heart is given up
to the one
to the one
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
they live, they
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
masters in everytime
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and i sang the dirge song
my brother never missed a beat
my brother kicked his feet to sleep, sweet feet
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and i sang the dirge song
Angel, don't you have some bagels in my oven?
Lady, don't you know a man when you see one?
Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you?
Kick you feet and calm the space that makes
you hollow
little swami's got his bowl to eat
little swami always walks his beat, sweet feet
little swami's got his bowl to eat
and i sing the dirge song
it's amazing how they come to see
the little swami with his bowl to eat, sweet feet
the little swami only wears a sheet
and won't sing the dirge song
anal, tight-assed soldier with that dogged heart
put down your gun
we are ready to explode, we gotta take it smart
sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in some blissful dream
where the goddess finally sleeps
in the lap of her lover
subdued in all her rage
and I am aglow with the taste
of the demons driven out
and happily replaced
with the presence of real love
the only one who saves
I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
the stillness in your eyes
convinces me that I
I don't know a thing
and I been around the world and I've
tasted all the wines
a half a billion times
came sickened to your shores
you show me what this life is for
I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
in this altered state
full of so much pain and rage
you know we got to find a way to let it go
sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in the heart of it all
where the goddess finally sleeps
after eons of war and lifetimes
she smilin' and free, nothin' left
but a cracking voice and a song, oh lord
I wanna dance with you
i see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
i see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
let's go hang out in a mall, or a morgue,
a smorgasboard
let's go hang out in a church
we'll go find lurch
then we'll haul ass down through the abbey
is it money, is it fame
what's in a name, shame?
is it money, is it fame
or were they always this lame?
it's a crazy, crazy mixed up town
but it's the rattlesnake i fear
in another place, in another time
i'd be drivin' trucks my dear
i'd be skinnin' hunted deer
deer
let's go hang out in a bar
it's not too far
we'll take my car
we'll lay flowers at the grave of jesco white
the sinner's saint
the rack is full and so are we
looks like america's dropped her load
she was ready to explode
i could not see her from up here
cuz she was lyin' in the road
my head's in the ground
i can't make a sound
my head's in the ground
looks like america's dropped her load
she tried to cal me on the telephone
"everything is fine, now the baby's here!"
she'll have to handle this one on her own
my head's in the ground
i can't make a sound
the priests were all stoned
california was in my mind
and love was a game that we played
my head's in the ground
i can't make a sound
the priests were all stoned
the fact that you moaned
Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Heard a lot of talk about the sea
Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things
Never meant that much to me
Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain
Were better friends
So I let it go
Did you let it go?
Let's get it back
Let's get it back together
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love, and a man of strength
But what a man was two thousand years ago
means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my
higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now
And right here
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go, my friend
And let's get it back
Let's get it back together
slippery jack, no more turning back,
all around, morning humor
i am a waiter and i am a server
i'll run to your needs with strength and fervor
in times when you are wasted i will walk in
through the door, pick you from the floor
then watch you grow into a man
with a big burly beard
and a mustache to match
i'll watch you love the world
and all that it has...
with that morning humor,
morning humor
the kind that wakes you up
the kind that's in my blood
morning humor, morning humor, yeah...
i am on top again, soon to be low again
oh will this ever end?
i'm sorry i don't mean to sound like a whale
trapped in the ice, but ain't it nice to say exactly
what i please...
with a big toney voice or a
soft mellow voice or the
loud boisterous voice of an opera, opera lady!
with that morning humor,
morning humor
the kind that wakes you up.
the kind that's in my blood
morning humor, morning humor, yeah...
but the joke that kills
is just a joke to you
you need some...
slippery jack, no more turning back,
all around, morning humor
the kind that wakes you up
the kind that's in my blood...
I hope (I hope) she lights that candle
I hope (I hope) she shows me everything and all that light can bring
Her skin (her skin), it begs my worship
Like a mad temple crowd
I crush her, she goes down
We melt up from the ground?
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now, yeah
Doubt (doubt), get right behind me
You're a cloud, just a blemish on the sun
And there's better times to come
Our love, this cloak and dagger
This silent will to brighten everything
And find the road that leads?
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now, yeah,
Oh, and if we die tonight, take our leave from this plastic place
Become the dove, just fly away?
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now
Come on baby up to your better times
Your sweet release, take me now, take me now, oh
Oohh oooh
If I told you he was your brother
We could reminisce
Then you would go about your day
If I said you ought to give him some of your water
You'd shake your canteen and walk away
The perception that divides you from him
Is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side
This is not a black and white world
To be alive
I say that the colours must swirl
And I believe
That maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The Beauty of Grey
If I told you she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
If I said you ought to give her
Some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dawn
The perception that divides you from her
Is a lie
For some reason we never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side
This is not a black and white world
To be alive
I say the colors must swirl
And I believe
That maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray
Look into your eyes
No daylight
War in me War overseas
There ain't no difference between
Blood in me
Blood overseas
There ain't no difference between
The chills in your spine are oh, so sweet
People honor you so high
You've got to defend the stage at your feet
Take, Take, Take my anthem today
Hands on me
Hands overseas
There ain't no difference between
Heart in me
Heart overseas
You say "Hold on to the reigns"
I say "Let them go tonight"
My brain waves
Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "Groundless and free"
Tired of the water Tired of the wine
Tired of the future
Tired of time
Tired of the madness
Tired of the steel
Tired of the violence
Tired of me
Used steel
Used steel am I
What was pliable in love
Is now hard and crystallized
The intellect is fine
For counting money
And recalling times
That she cried,
"Groundless and free"
Hope is a letter that never arrives
The way I'm on your mind, like a ball and chain
Like a destiny to run from
Division in your soul (in your soul), keepin' you from whole
I can bare to see you crying
The wing that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home
Sometimes you've got to die to be born again
Sometimes you've got to fight
Sometimes you've got to learn
Sometimes you've got to burn
The old brush out so the new can grow
The wing that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home
Yeah, come on
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings (oh)
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Like to long, lost friend?
Like to love, lost friend?
Like it too long, lost friend?
The wing that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home (carry you home)
Come on, come on
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (lord above)
Could be the wings (oh yeah)
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings
i watched a miracle in the making
then had a scientist tell me that i
couldn't live without breaking,
my habits of fearlessness and crying for the world...
who put the fear in here?
was it you, who finally shed the tear?
someone told me that two lovers bound
could put another sun in the sky
if you believed it, there'd be
twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
if i believed it, there'd be
twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
i thought i knew exactly what scared me
and i would never have to run again.
so i went to sleep and began dreaming
of perfect lives in paradise
woke up and started screaming...
who put the fear in here?
who put the fear in here? oh no...
was it you who finally shed the tear?
I talk of freedom
you talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
you'd much rather brag
and as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse
continue to dampen the day
the coin flips again and again, and again, and again
as our sanity walks away
all this discussion though politically correct
is dead beyond destruction
though it leaves me quite erect
and as the final sunset rolls behind the earth
and the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
and we'll cry a lot
but this will be what we said
this will be what we said
I wanted a mountain, you gave me a sea
I wanted a hurricane, you gave me a breeze
I wanted to run, made me stand there and breathe
I wanted to dream, you made me sleep
I wanted to touch the bottom, but it was too deep
I wanted a revolution, you said I was already free
Oh, yeah
Where do we go from here?
Now the day is gone
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here?
Now the night has come
I wanted to touch your mind and your heart
I wanted to find a new place to start
I wanted to kiss your every part
Oh, yeah
So baby, don't leave me now as you turn to the flag
They get shot through the holes, but you're still alive
Like you're too close to death to ever really die
Oh, yeah
Where do we go from here?
Now the day is gone
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here?
Now the night has come
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts?
Nothing
Why won't you listen to me?
I never meant you no harm
I only wanted to be free
All I want is to be free
Where do we go from here?
Now the day is gone
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here?
Now the night has come
How do we face our fears?
Oh, yeah
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
I was wrong
we are not these bodies alone
in a dream with a mind of its own
I, I know you long
to be tethered and tied to the heart of the one
the one that be layin' you down
on that ancient ground
nothin' more to be found
ah yeah
now we walk in the dream
but dream no more
to live a life in love the only thing in common was
we knew there was somethin' more
now we walk in the dream
but dream no more
to live a life in love
to hear the voice in the wilderness
the other side of the door
somethin' more
i feel strong
i'm finally at peace
the war is all gone
by no cause of my own
like an eagle cuts through the air
no time for fear
faith in his wings takes him there
now we walk in the dream
but dream no more
to live a life in love the only thing in common was
we knew there was somethin' more
now we walk in the dream
but dream no more
to live a life in love
to hear the voice in the wilderness
the other side of the door
somethin' more!
more than these
women in the streets pullin' out their hair
somethin' more
somethin' more than all the pain we feel
somethin' more
more than we could dream of, all light
love-bliss, no death and no fear
no fear!!!
now we walk in the dream
but dream no more
to live a life in love the only thing in common was
we knew there was somethin' more
now we walk in the dream
but dream no more
to live a life in love
to hear the voice in the wilderness
the other side of the door
somethin' more
i was wrong
Two, three, four
All the things that they make you say
And all the love that you had, when
I'll pick you up and it'll be alright
I'll pick you up and it'll be tonight
She rode a horse into my head
She rode a horse into my head
Yeah
She won't discipline the children
And now they're runnin' wild on the beach
And I don't care
No, I don't care, no, I don't care
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the middle of the night again
Playing Domino's and drinkin' in bed
I tried to make up something deep to say
But my well is temp and dry today
Hey, hey, hey
She rode a horse into my head
She rode a horse into my head
Yeah
She won't discipline the children
And now they're running wild on the beach
And I don't care
No, I don't care, no, I don't care
Yeah hey
She rode a horse into my head
She rode a horse into my head
Yeah
She won't discipline the children, oh no,
But now they're running wild on the beach
And I don't care
Anyone, caught in your mystery
Keep it angry, keep it whispy
I've fallen down, drunk on your juices
Turn my head
Turn my head
It's aimed at you
Funky temple, your dress is torn to shreds
Your eyes are crazy, I bowed to save my head and
I can't forget you, but I can't remember
Turn my head
Turn my head
It's aimed at you
Turn my head
Turn my head
It's aimed at you, baby, baby
Oh no, we came to love you all day
These bastards are leavin', somebody's got to stay
Whatever we called you, just a name, just a name
Turn my head
(Turn my head)
Turn my head
It's aimed at you, yeah, now
Turn my head
(Turn my head)
Turn my head
It's aimed at you
It's aimed at you
this is not helping me at all
what you are doing here
in the name of god and love
it's the distribution of fear
pyramids, healing wires, analysts with fame
I haven't got your degree
and I forgot your name
pick me up and put me on the ground
set me up and spin me all around
no, you are not the one I wish to see
this is not helping me at all where did we get this plan?
that you could give to me what I might already have pyramids,
healing wires, a musician's fame
I volunteered you my eyes
in place of facing me
oh Hitler, in a robe of truth
my emptiness has built your altar
and I've worshipped myself in you forever
in the east they can meditate they can recreate the sound of OM
and bring us home i think i'll go there someday maybe
for a holiday maybe just light a candle and take a seat for the ride
you don't need no money to fly to truly fly away you don't need no car
to truly ride to truly ride away
in the west we think we're the best we've shown the whole wide world
that money is all we care for now someday the scientists
will see there's no such thing as gravity they'll all just light a candle
take a seat for the ride
you don't need no money to fly to truly fly away you don't need no car to truly,
truly ride to truly ride away
as you ascend in silence all doubt behind thee you reach the summit
The way you're bathed in light
reminds me of that night
god laid me down into your rose garden of trust
and I was swept away
with nothin' left to say
some helpless fool
yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
you're all I need to find
so when the time is right
come to me sweetly, come to me
come to me
love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us
oh yeah, we meet again
it's like we never left
time in between was just a dream
did we leave this place?
this crazy fog surrounds me
you wrap your legs around me
all I can do to try and breathe
let me breathe so that I
so we can go together!
love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us
life is like a shooting star
it don't matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over
over
over
singin' la da da, da da da
over
come to me
singin' la da da da, da da da
let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket and shake it all around
I've been to pretty buildings, all in search of you
I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews
the desert had been done before, but I didn't even care
I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair
I saw that...
oh the distance is not do-able
in these bodies of clay my brother
oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable
guess it's natural to feel this way
oh, let's hold out for somethin' sweeter
spread your wings and fly
my car became the church and I
the worshipper of silence there
in a moment peace came over me
and the one who was beatin' my heart appeared and....
oh the distance is not do-able
in these bodies of clay my brother
oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable
guess it's natural to feel this way
oh, are we locked into these bodies?
let's hold out for somethin' sweeter
spread your wings and fly
oh, are we locked into these bodies?
are we anything at all?
let's hold out for somethin' sweeter
spread your wings and fly
this distance is dreamin'
Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Heard a lot of talk about the sea
Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things
Never meant that much to me
Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain
Were better friends
So I let it go
Did you let it go?
Let's get it back
Let's get it back together
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love, and a man of strength
But what a man was two thousand years ago
means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my
higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now
And right here
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go, my friend
And let's get it back
Bring back that 'hair-down', unguarded mystery
I liked it better when your tightrope walked on me
Board up my window, prepare for a hurricane
You have a way of breaking through my barricade
You give me all-new games to play
You set me soul free
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free
She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you
Was my intention to take control again?
Somehow you got me on the ropes of my own plan
To turn up the volume and make you dance for me
Release some pressure so that I can turn and see
Spirit manifests as 'She'
You set me soul free (you set my soul free)
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free (she set my soul free)
She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you
Like a flower
I can see but I can't feel
Oh yeah
And nothing that you do could ever make me run, run away from you
I never knew, I never knew she could
She set my soul free
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free (she set my soul free)
and to love: a god
and to fear: a flame
and to burn a crowd that has a name
and to right or wrong
and to meek or strong
it is known, just scream it from the wall
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know,
I've been here before
hey, now we won't be raped
hey, now we won't be scarred like that
it's the sun that burns
it's the wheel that turns
it's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
and to Christ: a cross
and to me: a chair
if i talk too soft, they
think i'm preaching if i talk too slow, they think i care.
if i walk too fast, then i've got purpose here.
can't you see, see through the prayer?
it's got you now, so i will play
it's got you now, so i will play, play,
saviour for a day

saviour, saviour, saviour, saviour....
who put the fear in here?
i watched a man tell his boy
about the pains of reality
then i watched that child grow into a soldier
i am not ok with this tv in my face
and liar after liar with nothin' bout nothin' higher
i am on the outside peerin' in to your world
and all the boys and girls are singin' save me,

decay decay not today
today today take away my tv
don't want your fuckin' therapy it's all decay
decay decay not today, not today
it's our world and i'm on fire with anger and desire
not the kind that they feed to me with their emptiness and greed greed greed
i don't give a fuck what you say about me everything you are
is just a tool to me so just set up the mic
and let me do my thing in the consciousness of each
and every sentient being rainin' down like a thunderstorm into your mind
maybe not the first, the second, or even the third time but eventually,
you won't be able to put me down you'll be havin' me with breakfast
"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend" she said
And you can hear it in my whispered cries for love
I need your blissful touch to carry me away again
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...
Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory, but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend" she said
I'm like a posse that's been ridin' for days
I've got the scars to prove that love has had its day and it's way with me
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...
Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
This ain't no night to be on your own
You've got to know where you're coming from
To know just where you're goin', lord
You've got to know where you're coming from
This ain't no night to be on your own
Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care
I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care
Run away
Run away
warm bodies, I sense

past, perfect, tense
words for a feeling and all I've discovered
I'll be along son with medicine supposed to,
designed to make you high
I'll be along son
with words for a feeling and all I've discovered
old, bad eyes

on loneliness drives

the shepherd won't leave me alone
he's in my face and I
the shepherd of my days
and I want you here by my heart and my head,
I can't start till I'm dead
here I am locking horns with the stallion
failing to hold my head up, I'll go back again
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down
cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon

this girl walks up so graciously,
slips something in my pocket so secretly,

"just give'em water and let me know,

I have never taken Life
Yet I have often paid the price
And you, you are a victim of this age
And the guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me locked up in a cage
You've got to learn to live until no end
But first you must learn to swim
All over again
Because...
Pain lies on the riverside
And Pain will never say goodbye
Pain Lies on the Riverside
So put you feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Put your soul in the water
And join me for a swim tonight
I have forever, always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware that the river's banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
I've got to learn to live until no end
But first I must learn to swim all
Over again,
Because...
Suddenly she came
And like the come that comes and goes
With a sweetness in her eyes
And a ring between her nose
Walkin down the beach
We saw a castle made of pain
We went inside
Rings were exchanged
Now heaven wore a shirt
That said I

Into my mind
Not preconceived
A dream of many oceans

ain't no peace in the valley baby
'til the darkness turns to light
can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
high above the lamentation up on the desert plane
do you hear that children's song?
can you take me there?
lost in the maya
overboard in the sea
there was void and then that water broke
then something called "me"
now a trip to the desert to look at the sky
it's like never-ending mirrors
playing tricks on my eyes
can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
high above the lamentation up on the desert plane
do you hear that children's song?
can you take me there?

on the boat
hypnotized
i look at you,

"i'm the lock, now
you're the key"
it's all the same
just play the game
carry the weight
of this ball and chain
save the lies
you and i
on the road to rationalize
you and i should never guess
you and i should never regret
it's all the same
just play the game
carry the weight
of this ball and chain
this ball and chain
He said, he said, he said
"There was nothing to fear boy"
And he said, he said, he said,
"Worthless are you tears boy"
"Just realize you senses
And realize you earth
Just realize your essence first"
I'll never be the same again
I want to walk in the sun
I am alive and well again
No more bittersweet
No more good pain
No more
So many of us stand in the middle
Looking back to the worst
Looking forward to the fall
Making weapons of peace for the defense
Of the bloodstains on our
Peaceful sidewalks
You say the buildings got too tall
And they're going to fry your brother
Well I say you'd better walk away, walk
Away, away, away
And find your mother
No more bittersweet
No more good paid
If I can't sing this song
And tell you all about it
Then I'll just pack it up right now and
walk away
Don't even doubt it
So when our sherry glass is full
And the day is way too young
You'd better sip today, sip today, sip today,
Before it's done
No more bittersweet
everybody's here
puke stinks like beer
this could be a city
this could be a graveyard
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
everybody's anxious
for the coming of the crisis
the collapse of the justice
i can smell your armpits
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
you stole my idea!
this puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
come on, come on, come on
let's lay waste to this century
come on, come on, come on
return to nothing, and help me
everybody's anxious
the crowd is all around us
the followers of Aldous
are spinning with their mescaline
a man behind the altar screams
you stole my idea
you stole my idea!
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
dangled with tongue
on the edge of a peace that can't stand low
and won't stand tall
it's amazing what we can do with love
with some matches and gasoline, do with love!
i can't believe i finally found the key, the door,
the trip it was all in my mind now i'm one with the fools of love i can't believe
i finally found the prisoner,
the free man were all in my mind now i'm one with the fools of love
these fools of love are misunderstood their history is with me now
i can't believe my core was shaken i gave up the ghost of everything
i was before now i'm one with the fools of love
the fools of love are misunderstood the mystery is with me now
so call me a fool call me a fool call me a fool
i can't believe my dream is over i woke up this morning with nothing
but light in my eyes now i'm one with the fools of love i can't believe the key,
the door, the clouds that blocked the sun they were all in my mind
now I'm one with the fools of love
and these fools of love are misunderstood their history is with me now
so call me fool call me a fool call me a fool
the baby's not screaming enough
the singer's not singing enough
ramana's not breathing, to us
behold the unsheathing, it's love
the blade is not ready to cut
it's dull from our thinking, it's rough
Free love is a world i can't linger too long in
"free love" was just another party
for the hippies to ruin
behold the unsheathing, it's love
behold the unsheathing, it's love
Free love is a knife through the jugular vein son
So many people die every day

Tugging on societys coats

Like they never gonna get old
Doing their time like ?

When fishes get the scent to flee
Where you goin' now?

Yea I found God
And He was absolutely just like me

Told me I was thirsty

Been in this water all my life

In the moment I was losing my head
And readin' too much and losin' my head and I was
reachin' forward, I was already there and readin' too much and losin' my head
This information caused a cut in the line now I'm remembering God and readin' too much on certain nights
The print is smaller than the ants in the grass I'll have to put it away for now
In the morning there are things to be read, words to be said, and food to be fed, but I won't be there.
I'll be clutchin' on a megaphone pointed at my head, would you be there, would you kindly,
screen this word for word so loud and clear, I can't remember it all, it needs to be clear, I tell you,
If the feeling drops out of your voice, would you kindly pick it up
This is how, I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how, I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book.
We're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're talkin' seas, we're talkin' everything you need, you should be workin' now,
Not only askin' how, and the whereabouts of where you'll be. I don't suspect you will be thinking
When the brain is dead, and the mind has taken over, this is a skill, this is not a game,
Where have you been, are you with us? can you hear us? got the megaphone pointed at you
This is how, I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how, I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book.
This is how, I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how, I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book.
Aah yeah nah yeah
In the morning I was losin’ my head
Readin’ too much and losin’ my head I was
Reachin’ forward I was already there and losin’ my head
Readin’ too much, losin’ my head, whoo!
optimism,
optimism perished from the face of my earth
and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
she kissed me, as we stood on the edge,
the night made the day as we made for the bridge
it started raining hard, and i saw we may live to regret
no i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i've never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why...
pessimism,
pessimism perished from the face of my earth,
and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
did you miss me? did you miss me as we walked
through the pain, attached the chain so you could
see me again
i started asking myself, did i teach you right?
no i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i've never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why...
understood why...
you came to me, you broke the bonds,
you set me free
and then the love that you promised me
came a tumblin' tumblin' tumblin' down
into my hands...
no i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i've never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why...
when all that's left to do is
reflect on what's been done
this is where sadness breaths
the sadness of everyone
just like when the guys
built the dam at otter creek
and all the water backed up
deep enough to dive
we took the dead man in sheets to the river
flanked by love
deep enough to dive
deep enough to dive
be here now
we took him there and three
in a stretcher made from trees
that had passed in the storm
leave the hearse behind
I wanna feel
I wanna try
I wanna rock in the city tonight
I wanna deal
don't wanna die
I wanna bring my captain hook into the light
people I've seen my day
ranting and raving this beauty away
we are by and large the same
but words are too feeble, they cannot contain
he was a "rock and roll messiah"
she was known for her childcare
the truth is gonna give up the world
if you can give up the stage
if I can give up the stage
if we can give up the stage
come to this,
I can't come to you don't do this,
wake me up tonight
come to this,
I can't come to you don't do this,
I'm gatherin' up my friends today
and those who recognize the face
as the vision that changed my mind
from hate to faith
was as simple as grapes to wine and sweet as
I'm gatherin' up my friends today
all these hookers and soldiers and swine
and would-be saints
all alone in their rooms that sparkle in their eye
play a song that they'll come outside
to see if
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to wipe our tears away
the day that I was so sweetly sung
by the wind and the thunder moved by "someone"
the feelin' of being lived was so strong
the giver became the gift, all one
the day that I was so sweetly sung
the wind seemed to whisper softly, "oh son,
don't wait for the seas to part or messiahs to come
don't sit around and waste this chance, to see it!"
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE, hey, yeah
love, this day now, this day that I was so
sweetly sung, I know, I know that
love will overcome
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away, wipe our tears away
love!
and all my friends are here
in the city I sing my song
in the face of the hooker, the soldier, the swine
I found it, I found it, I found love!!!!!
love will, love will, love will,
overcome
Diamonds and pearls don't move this girl
She can be icy cold to the crawl
One of her lungs breathes in another world
While the other sticks around to blow you off
Even when the four winds blow
She kinda passes by like she don't feel it
No, momma, she don't feel it
One of these days I'm gonna dive into her waves
And bring back the meaning of it all
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
They say in ancient times, man, that women ruled the world
But the goddess was the one who laid it down
Well, I gots a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a whisper, knock you right down to the ground
So go ahead man and say what you came to say
The black widow's a spider
The black widow's a spider
Then go and prepare for your dyin' day
Won't take one minute till you're curled up dead beside her
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
On me like rain
Fall down
Fall down
Fall down
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, I need ya
Like a freeloader needs his train
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, rain down on me
And I ain't ever
I'll never be the same, baby
I wanna feel ya, Sofia
This love has taken a turn
My maps are no good now
I'm lost in these woods
I say, Black Mountain show me your face
Bring on the oblivion of your sweet embrace
I say, this love has taken a turn
Where we go now, I can't wait to learn
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
You are my diamond of grace
Angelic little devil of the most secret space
I say, there ain't no one quite like you, girl
You save your nectar for the wise
While you smile at the world
I say, you make me laugh at myself
You take me straight to Heaven
By going straight through Hell
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
Free, yeah
If you want to walk with me
Then leave that false innocense behind
If you want to know me tonight
Then drag me to the river and hold me tight
If you want to love like a god
You got to bleed like a god
You got to fight like a god
Let go of who you are
Cling to me now
Cling to me now
Here we go
Here we go, yeah
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me

I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
Yeah, I'll show you free
Show a little love to me
Show a little love
Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa
Ride a Harley through the heart of danger
Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream
I was seventeen
Give up my house, sleep for nights on concrete
Meditate with all the bums on Vine Street
No more running, no more hiding in the house of the dead
I think I'll grow some dreads
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
I dream of loving, of the empty graveyard
I dream of Vegas and the transcendental wildcard
A place where noone waits to die before they go into the light
And just the blind have sight
I follow nothing but the compass of my instinct
No matter where it leads, I know it will take me to the brink
And leave me there by myself and all alone with my dreams
Can you hear my scream?
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Ooh ooh ooh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Oh-oh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society
Society will never dream like me
Society
Society
On a crystal clear blue morning
There is a peace that only you can know
It is truth and love and it is always there
Even if you fall down
Even if you fall down
Love shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Think of gentle Jesus
Think of the buddha underneath his tree
They taught the world about love and how we all can be
How we can all be free
Open our hearts and see
Love shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, love shines
It shines
Like a revolution in your mind
Like a revolution in your mind
Like a revolution in your mind
On a crystal clear blue morning
There is a peace that only you can know
It is truth and love and it is always there
Even if you fall down
Even if you fall down
Love shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, it shines, baby
Like an eternal sun, love shines
It shines, shines, shines, shines, shines
Love, it shines, shines, shines, shines, shines
Love, it shines, shines, shines, shines, shines
oh desert speak to my heart
oh woman of the earth
maker of children who weep for love
maker of this birth
'til your deepest secrets are known to me
I will not be moved
I will not be moved
"don't try to find the answer
when there ain't no question here
brother let your heart be wounded
and give no mercy to your fear"
adam and eve live down the street from me
babylon is every town
it's as crazy as it's ever been
love's a stranger all around
in a moment we lost our minds here
and lay our spirit down
today we lived a thousand years
all we have is now
run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we'll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
these streets below the moon
and I will never leave you
'til we can say, "this world was just a dream
we were sleepin' now we are awake"
'til we can say
in a moment we lost our minds here
and dreamt the world was round
a million mile fall from grace
thank god we missed the ground
run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we'll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
with a nuclear fire of love in our hearts
yeah, I can see it now lord
out beyond all the breakin' of waves
and the tribulation
it's a place and the home of ascended souls
who swam out there in love!
run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we'll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
with a nuclear fire of love in our hearts
rest easy baby, rest easy
and recognize it all as light and rainbows
smashed to smithereens and be happy
run to the water (and find me there)
And from a tiny river town you came
With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow, and daddy's brains
But the rats they fought you oh yeah tooth and nail
With the way they rigged this game, you had to fail
But that's all behind you now, boy
And from a tiny river town you came
With nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace
They drug you through that slaughterhouse at will
You were the soldier without a kill
You were the soldier without a kill
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
And from a tiny river town you came
Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days
But paradise took you out and left the bill
You were the healer without the thrill
You were the ecstasy without the pill
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
Who's gonna light up your dark?
Who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna be there?
Who's gonna light up your dark?
And from a tiny river town you came
With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow and daddy's brains
You'd better turn back before the frost sets in
These desert nights are for weathered men
The ones who've already given in
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
Who's gonna save your soul?
Now that you've given in
Now that you've given in
even now the world is bleedin' but feelin' just fine all numb
in our castle where we're always free to choose never free enough
to find i wish somethin' would break cuz we're runnin' out of time
and i am overcome i am overcome holy water in my lungs i am overcome
these women in the street pullin' out their hair my master's
in the yard givin' light to the unaware this plastic little place
is just a step amongst the stairs
and i am overcome i am overcome baby holy water in my lungs i am overcome
so drive me out out to that open field turn the ignition off
and spin around your help is here but i'm parked in this open space
blockin' the gates of love
i am overcome i am overcome holy water in my lungs i am overcomed
beautiful drowning this beautiful drowning this holy water
this holy water is in my lungs
i was on a street with a common name i prayed for love
yeah i even begged i had a vision of you that carried me through
i was on a street with a common name i prayed for love
yeah i even begged i had a vision of you that carried me through
and nobody really knows what i would do for you nobody really knows
how much i love you nobody really knows,
nobody knows nobody knows, nobody knows
i cleared my mind and i turned around grateful to the one
who had laid me down i was silent in love pourin down from above
like so much rain it fell and pierced my brains the trees all alive
with their colors like the dreams of man i had a vision of you
that carried me through
and nobody really knows what i would do for you now
nobody really knows how much i love you baby nobody really knows,
Tonight the road has no end
And you are my only friend
Oh, so I give you my love
It's all that I have to give
Oh, I give you my love
I give you my love
Tonight the answer is clear
We are so far and so near
Oh, so I give you my love

Oh, I give you my love
And the life I have left to live
Oh, I give you my love
It's all that I have to give
Oh, I give you my love

I give you my love
Like a diamond
She never stops shinin'
She's always alive
And she's walking with me
Tonight we stand as one heart
One mind, nothing left behind
Oh, so I give you my love
It's all that I have to give
Oh, I give you my love
And the life I have left to live
Oh, I give you my love
Yeah, I give it
Oh, yeah, I give you my love
I give you my love
(E. Rhodes)Debbi
Know, you gotta know
Is that yourself or nothing at all
Oh, you think you live
Well how can you, when you're stuck in four walls
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home
So, you come and go
Well good day, don't waste anytime
Oh, your life today
It's all familiar, soon you will find
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.
Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, liveNow, do what you want
Or where you want, it's all up to you
Oh, you like the room
It's nice to do what you wanna do
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home
If you know by now
What life's about, go on now and live
And if you don't know how
It's not so hard, just let go and live
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home
Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live
Did You come that we might just survive?
Did You come so we could just get by?
And did You walk among us
So we might merely limp along beside?
I was bound, I have been set free
But I have settled for apathy
And did You come to make me new
And know I'd crawl right back
Into the skin You found me in?
It's where I am, not where I've been
And You make me wanna live
You make me wanna live
You came to shake us
And to wake us up to something more
Than we'd always settled for
And You make me wanna live
We've all been up on the mountain top
A golden glow that's bound to soon wear off
Then it's back to the mundane, telling tales of glory days
When we were hopeful that this change was here to stay
And You make me wanna live
You make me wanna live
You came to shake us
And to wake us up to something more
Than we'd always settled for
And You make me wanna live
So why would a young man live in a waste land?
When the castle of his dreams is standing by?
And why would a princess put on an old dress
To dance with her beloved and a chance to catch his eye
And You make me wanna live
You make me wanna live
You came to shake us
And to wake us up to something more
Than we'd ever felt before
Wake us up to something more
Than we'd always settled for
And You make me wanna live
Intro/Chorus:
Let all the live niggas in
Kick all the bitch ass niggas out
We came to rock and shock the house
Turn it out and out and out
Aiyo the words could get intricate vocab's in my temple
but I'ma do this ripper dipple it's your mentals is what I'm into
(FOR THE MONEY!!!) It's essential and I got ta have it
A verb addict without an author with the verbals we hurt em

and they skillet, to all that shit you say you do (KI-KILL IT!!!)
You yappin ???????????????????????? urkin me and back slappin
You ain't no punchtop, it's you is the cappin (GUESS WHAT?!?!)
It's here and there, we're the core (THE CENTRE!!!)
And if Tommy gets live once more, we're back on his agenda
And for y'all hopeful niggas, tryin ta be contenders
(IT'S A STORM!!!) And we come down like goose coats in the winter
Chorus
Yeeeeaaaah
Ain't no slackin in my action, I put my back in
beatin tracks in, official now cold smash and jaw tappin
(YO WHAT HAPPENED?!?!) Nuttin, just niggas bustin caps when I was rappin
Cos niggas be packin pretty brand new pistols just for fashion
Cos a fraction be actin frontin, makin Jacksons off of satin
But there better be no procrastin with the axe when you're blastin
Cos when you're maxin and relaxin, that's when they start attackin
(SO!!!) Get the gats, forget the backs and like there's no compassion
Keep ya heat cos nowadays these streets is cold as the Alaskan
Plus my brain sparks and, my hat in Staten stay phattin
Chorus
Give me the shotty, let me liven up the party
I like to start trouble, cos I'ma little rowdy
And with just three MC's that like to fight
Even when we start the shit we always end it right
SO FOR ALLA Y'ALL, frontin's bad for ya health
Cos in the '9-fever, army goin for self
Kids is true for a cause and it's these fucked up conditions that
we all hate, well fuck it if it's our fate
Just listen up, to what I say
cos niggas get shot daily, everyday
Even my man got killed, now his family's mournin
but from all the dirt he did I know that, hell is callin
Went to his wake and shit got held up
by niggas with masks on their face, I couldn't escape, I was fucked
They said "Everybody in here, up against the wall
That dead nigga owe me money so I'm collectin from y'all"
The people gave him struggle, five minutes went fast
When I said "I ain't givin y'all niggas shit, I'ma just have to get
plastered"
>From the centre of my life, a full-fleshed thief and I'm the truth
That's why we always have proof
Chorus
Yeah we do it like this and we do it like that
Who's in regulation? Watch your back and pack a gat
Never fall asleep, keep ya heat in your sheet
Cos goin out is what it's all about
ONYX!!! LIVE!!!
ONYX!!! LIVE!!!
ONYX!!! LIVE!!!
You know, you got it now
Is that yourself or nothing at all
Oh, you think you live
Well, how can you, you're stuck in four walls.
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.
So, you come and go
Well good day, don't waste anytime

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.
Live, live, live, live
Live, this is live
Captured, not manufactured
This is captured, not manufactured
This is captured music, not manufactured music
South Bronx, New York
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
I heard your CD is wack, wasn't fucking impressed
Who's the nigga with the big mouth?
I live [Incomprehensible] and bit off with a lion's mouth
Your hype man sound like a bitch that switch
Y'all niggas need to be around when my dick itch
Yo, TNT these niggas acting wild like they homo
But they trying to see me fuck it, I'm a pull up in a Ford van
Let these niggas know I'm a give 'em a permanent suntan
Walk in your studio session
Damage your crew in the vocal booth
With a thirty-inch Smith and Wesson
Dr. Dooom on your intercom pressing your girl
All night with a fucking bomb
I'm a move the tattoos off all these MCs
Let me make a sandwich first with government cheese
Uncle Black got a new sawed-off
When them booty kids show up we gone blast their ass off
Niggas be mean mugging wide eyed smoking that dust
I'm a send Tony Lou with a bazooka
Blow smoke in a tour bus, in a yellow Caprice Classic
I got a wig on them, city boys ain't gon' recognize all four of us
Jay and John with fifty cousins from the Bolding family
We roll and amp G, what the fuck y'all talking about?
I'm moving a different route
Grab the carbines from under the couch
See you on the Ferris wheel at Coney Island
I'm not gon' be smiling
Magnum waiting for your ass
Y'all gon' see my face, fuck a mask
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Smearing your mailbox with peanut butter and jelly
With pickles from the deli
Black shoe polish on your glass table
I'm ready and able
Going on the roof when the pay-per-view fight come on
Click off the cable, harass you to move
Leaving poisoned sick rat coleslaw around your toilet stool
While you scream ''fuck you''
I'm across the street eating Popeye's Cajun rice
In a station wagon with hot beans
Taking a coffee break back in the house
Giving your Chihuahuas
Ex-lax with a hot bowl of Quaker State
Leaving the front room, dropping bombs
On your fur coat with a box kaboom
Watching the Mets putting shit
On your TV sets in the shower
You won't be able to watch a program
With remote controls for seventy hours
Check out your sore ribs, the screen is gritty
Everybody's starting to look green on Rap City
Take your receipt, give your wallet with nine hundred bucks
Or your credit card to a retarded kid in a wheel-chair
Coming up the street walking by the main avenue
I'm passing you with a leather coat that looks similar to yours
Fuck you, you looking at me, I'm a start walking behind you
Act like I'm pantomiming you
Talking to police men, chewing a arm
And joined by a black and white squad car
With binoculars watching you very far
What's up motherfuckers?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Is it live, live, live, live, live?
Clear out your mind
Look to your past
and see what you can find
So stole a frame
of the profit's perfect picture falls rain
Is this the life that we choose to live in?
Or is this the life that has been giving?
Now is the time to see what my life should be
What is mine
[Chorus]
We live in Shangri La now
We live in, we live in
We live in Shangri La now
We live in, we live in
I've got, I've got
You've got, You've got
We've got, We've got
It's a timeless rage
for many people, praying to be saved
Truth is so strong
it needs lights to guide it so that it can carry on
I've seen blood on my hands, am I dead?
Or is this where it begins?
I feel the shame for my friend
Who put a bullet in his brain
[Chorus]
We live in Shangri La now
We live in, we live in
We live in Shangri La now
We live in, we live in
I've got, I've got
You've got, You've got
We've got, We've got
I've got, you've got
We've got something to die for
I've got, you've got
We've got something to die for
I've got, you've got
We've got something to die for
I've got, you've got
We've got something to die for
[Chorus x2]
We live in Shangri La now
We live in, we live in
We live in Shangri La now
We live in, we live in
I used to be a dreamer
Who couldn't fall asleep
Trying to find an answer
A reason to believe
Living in between worlds
This one and the next
Trying to make my mind up
Which one of them is best
And every time I think I've got it right
It just slips away from me
But my conscience always catches up eventually
I've gotta learn to live
In a different way
A little for tomorrow
A little for today
Crossed seven different oceans
Coz I'm looking for escape
Tired of emotions
Getting in the way
Trying to make my mind up
If it's better just to
Dream on
Running with my eyes shut
Somewhere in between
But every time I think I've got it right
It just slips away again
Maybe I'll just shut my eyes and count to ten
I've gotta learn to live
In a different way
A little for tomorrow
A little for today
I used to be a dreamer
Who couldn't fall asleep
Trying to find the answer
A reason to believe..
I've gotta learn to live
In a different way
A little for tomorrow
A little for today
Another sinking sun
And I am filled with worry
With every morning comes
Uncharted territory
Am I too young and restless
To live the way the fearless do?
I think it's time I start to...
Live
Unafraid of tomorrow
Live
Knowing You're in control
Live
This life wasn't made to waste away
I wanna live
Take my concerns and cares
Give me new revival
I may be breathin' air
But You're my soul survival
I wanna know the freedom
That can only come from You
I'm so tired of waiting
There's no more time to lose
So give me strength to move
To live
People say I'm crazy
I'm starting to believe them
I'll throw it all away
For something I don't know
I haven't lived my life yet
Start to live my life right now
And I need a way of achieving
And I got a way of achieving now
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna behave
I just wanna live
Who gave you the right
To come down on me
I just wanna live
People wanna know all the stories
And I wish I could help them
So I'll break the chain
Of rumors that ruin all
And I don't know what love is
How about I know what love is now
And I need something to believe in
I got something to believe in now
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna behave
I just wanna live
Who gave you the right
To come down on me
I just wanna live
And I don't know what love is
How about I know what love is now
And I need something to believe in
I got something to believe in now
And I don't know what love is
How about I know what love is now
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna behave
I just wanna live
Who gave you the right
To come down on me
I want, I want,
I can't seem to get,
What I want,
Ought to find a peace of my mind,
That I need,
I need,
To fulfill my greed,
And I want to have it all until I succeed,
I want, I want,
It's never enough,
I dream all the big dreams,
Of all the right stuff,
That I need,
I need,
As much as I must,
'Cause when the end comes,
From dust to dust we go.
Like fading scars under the sky,
You got to get to live before you die,
Before you die.
Oh today sees a dawn of a new daylight,
I know the last chance,
Put the loud to light,
But if we've got no control of the skin that we're living in,
Then tell me why I can't have another hit of that adrenaline,
Can I have another hit of that adrenaline?
Like fading scars under the sky,
You got to get to live before you die,
Know that you just take your rest,
Look around,
Let your feet touch the ground, go!
What if we're never coming down, now?
What if we're never coming down?
No price I wouldn't pay,
To take a breath away,
No price I wouldn't pay,
To take a breath away,
One more time,
One more.
Can I have another hit,
I wanna have another,
Can I have another hit,
I wanna have another,
Why can't I have another hit,
I wanna have another!
Like fading scars under the sky,
You got to get to live before you die,
Know that you just take your rest,
Look around,
Let your feet touch the ground, go!
What if we're never coming down, now?
What if we're never coming down?
Like fading scars under the sky,
You got to get to live before you die,
Know that you just take your rest,
Look around,
Let your feet touch the ground, go!
What if we're never coming down, now?
What if we're never coming down,
What if we're never coming down,
[Intro/Chorus:]
Let all the live niggas in
Kick all the bitch ass niggas out
We came to rock and shock the house
Turn it out and out and out
Aiyo, the words could get intricate, vocab's in my temple
but I'ma do this ripper dipple, it's your mentals is what I'm into
(FOR THE MONEY!!!) It's essential, and I got ta have it
A verb addict without an author, with the verbals, we hurt em
(WHO?!?)ever try to defy these guys they (FRY!!!)
and they skillet, to all that shit you say you do (KI-KILL IT!!!)
You yappin ?? urkin me and back slappin
You ain't no punchtop, it's you is the cappin (GUESS WHAT?!?!)
It's here and there, we're the core (THE CENTRE!!!)
And if Tommy gets live once more, we're back on his agenda
And for y'all hopeful niggas, tryin ta be contenders
(IT'S A STORM!!!) And we come down like goose coats in the winter
[Chorus]
Yeeeeaaaah
Ain't no slackin in my action, I put my back in
beatin tracks in, official now cold smash and jaw tappin
(YO WHAT HAPPENED?!?!) Nuttin, just niggas bustin caps when I was rappin
Cos niggas be packin pretty brand new pistols just for fashion
Cos a fraction be actin frontin, makin Jacksons off of satin
But there better be no procrastin with the axe when you're blastin
Cos when you're maxin and relaxin, that's when they start attackin
(SO!!!) Get the gats, forget the backs and like there's no compassion
Keep ya heat cos nowadays these streets is cold as the Alaskan
Plus my brain sparks and, my hat in Staten stay phattin
[Chorus]
Give me the shotty, let me liven up the party
I like to start trouble, cos I'ma little rowdy
And with just three MC's that like to fight
Even when we start the shit we always end it right
SO FOR ALLA Y'ALL, frontin's bad for ya health
Cos in the '9-fever, army goin for self
Kids is true for a cause and it's these fucked up conditions that
we all hate, well fuck it if it's our fate
Just listen up, to what I say
cos niggas get shot daily, everyday
Even my man got killed, now his family's mournin
but from all the dirt he did I know that, hell is callin
Went to his wake and shit got held up
by niggas with masks on their face, I couldn't escape, I was fucked
They said "Everybody in here, up against the wall
That dead nigga owe me money so I'm collectin from y'all"
The people gave him struggle, five minutes went fast
When I said "I ain't givin y'all niggas shit, I'ma just have to get
plastered"
From the centre of my life, a full-fleshed thief and I'm the truth
That's why we always have proof
[Chorus]
Yeah we do it like this and we do it like that
Who's in regulation? Watch your back and pack a gat
Never fall asleep, keep ya heat in your sheet
Cos goin out is what it's all about
ONYX!!! LIVE!!!
ONYX!!! LIVE!!!
ONYX!!! LIVE!!!
"And their memory is like a train.
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away.
How do you move in a world of fog"
Turned to shit?
Turned to things they would never want.
It's a world of fog.
I'm so nostalgic for the moments I have never lived.
Fast forward and it's fucking over.
I'm reminiscent of the times I have never seen.
Got my feet on the ground
Ain't it funny that you're not around
Got my head in the clouds
I can feel it, I'm coming down
I remembered every word
I remember every word
When I think about what might've been
I can see what I'm livin' in
Would it be alright if I could live again
Would you even care if I said it's over
Would it be alright if I could live again
Live again
Out every night
Never see the light
Were you hanging in
Were you giving in
I remember the way you cry
I remember every lie
When I think about what might've been
I can see what I'm livin' in
Would it be alright if I could live again
Would you even care if I said it's over
Would it be alright if I could live again
Live again
I remember the way we were
I remember every word
When I think about what might've been
I can see what I'm livin' in
I remember the way you cry
I remember all your lies
When I think about what might've been
I can see what I'm livin' in
Would it be alright if I could live again
Would you even care if I said it's over
Would it be alright if I could live again
Live again
Would it be alright if I could live again
Would you even care if I said it's over
Would it be alright if I could live again
Baby don’t forget what it’s all about
Focus all your strength and will
On your chosen route
To fly someday
You work until your fingers bleed
You try your best to stand in front of the rest
[You’ve got to]
Live, live, live until you have no life
Give, give, give your love until you die
Baby don’t be one of those who live to die
Even if you fail you win because you try
Live life day by day
never knowin' whats going to happen
Live life Never Knowin'
live life day by day
oohh
so live life
I'm stuck in dreams still thinkin'
you're alive
But still reality punches me in the face
you are gone
it is still so unfair
live, live
why can't you just live
in my dreams i see flashes of you dying
in my dreams i see you fading away
but still i live
im stuck in reality soo
why cant i die
unfinished
Woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed
I should've stayed and dreamed
And let warm and fuzzy thoughts fill my head
My breakfast of champions is a cold pizza
And a cold cup of coffee
And an even colder shower
I'm late for work, yeah, my boss is a jerk
You know he drives me crazy but it won't change me
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I cry
I'm gonna live like I've got money falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live as if the best is gonna happen
Reality check: my rent is overdue
Yeah, I thought we had a good thing
But now you say, "Sorry, baby. We're through."
Hello, to now
Why don't you stay for a while?
Kick off your shoes cause I'm not gonna sing the blues
Yeah
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I cry
I'm gonna live like I've got money falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live as if the best is gonna happen
No, I'm gonna keep on laughin'
No, the best is gonna happen
The best, the best is yet to come
Yeah, yeah; yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah; yeah, yeah
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I cry
I'm gonna live like I've got money falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live as if the best is gonna happen
I'm gonna live like I can fly
I'm gonna laugh until I cry
I'm gonna live like I've got money falling from the sky
I'm gonna live with no regret
I'm gonna give all that I get
I'm gonna live as if the best is gonna happen
Yeah, yeah; yeah, yeah

John William "Will" Ferrell (/ˈfɛrəl/;[1] born July 16, 1967)[2] is an American comedian, impressionist, actor, and writer. Ferrell first established himself in the mid 1990s as a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, and has subsequently starred in the comedy films Old School, Elf, Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Stranger than Fiction, Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro, and The Other Guys. He is considered a member of the "Frat Pack", a generation of leading Hollywood comic actors who emerged in the late 1990s and the 2000s, including Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Steve Carell, Vince Vaughn, and brothers Owen and Luke Wilson.
Contents |
Early life[link]
Ferrell was born in Irvine, California, the son of Betty Kay (née Overman), a teacher who taught at Old Mill School elementary school and Santa Ana College,[3] and Roy Lee Ferrell, Jr., a musician with The Righteous Brothers.[4] His parents were both natives of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, and moved to California in 1964;[5][6] Ferrell has Irish ancestry.[7] Ferrell has a younger brother, Patrick.[8] When he was 8, his parents divorced. Ferrell said of the divorce, "I was the type of kid who would say, 'Hey Look at the bright side! We'll have two Christmases.'" The divorce was amicable and both parents were committed to their children. The biggest problem was Lee's line of work. As a person in show business, his paychecks were never steady and he was gone from home months at a time. Growing up in the environment made Ferrell not want to go into show business, but get a steady job.[8]
Will first attended school at Turtle Rock Elementary and later attended Rancho San Joaquin Middle School, both in Irvine. He attended University High School in Irvine, and was a kicker for the school's varsity football team.[9] He was also on the soccer team and captain of the basketball team, and served on student council. As a joke, he started the reptile club (even though he didn't know anyone who owned one), but the club only lasted for two meetings.[10]
Ferrell called third grade "a pivotal year". He realized he could make his classmates laugh if he pretended to smash his head against the wall, or if he tripped and fell on purpose, and said it was a great way to make friends.[11] He told the Orange County Register that the dullness of Irvine contributed to the growth of his humor:
Growing up in suburbia, in safe, master-planned Irvine, there was no drama so we had to create it in our heads. My main form of entertainment was cracking my friends up and exploring new ways of being funny. I didn't have to have the survival mode instinct like other comics, who grew up in tough neighborhoods. I had the opposite. For me, I grew up in Mayberry, and the humor broke the boredom. And there was a lot to make fun of.[12]
In his senior year of high school, Ferrell and a friend would perform comedy skits over the school's intercom system, with cooperation from the principal. The two had to write their own material though. Ferrell also performed comedic skits in the school's talent shows. He won the "Best Personality" superlative voted by his classmates.[10]
He enrolled at the University of Southern California, where he studied Sports Broadcasting and joined the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. In college, he was known for a few pranks. On occasion, he would dress in a janitor's outfit and stroll into his friends' classes. He was also known for streaking around campus with a few other people from the Delta Tau Delta fraternity.[10] Ferrell earned an internship at a local television station in the sports department. He did not enjoy the work.[13]
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Sports Information in 1990, he knew he did not want to do broadcasting. He took up jobs as a hotel valet, and on his second day he tore a baggage rack off the top of a van by trying to drive it under a low-lying beam. He also worked as a teller at Wells Fargo, but came up short $300 the first day and $280 the second—he was not stealing the money, he was just careless and error-prone.[13]
In 1991, he moved out of the house (thanks to his mother's encouragement to pursue something he liked) and to Los Angeles. He auditioned (and got in), and developed his improvisation skills as a member of the comedy group The Groundlings.[13]
Career[link]
[edit] The Groundlings
Before joining The Groundlings, Ferrell's attempts at standup comedy had little success. He started in the advanced classes and grew to love improvisation. He realized he also liked to impersonate people, and one of his favorites was Harry Caray, the Hall of Fame baseball announcer. Soon he began to create original characters. With fellow Groundlings member Chris Kattan, they created the Butabi Brothers, who go out to dance clubs to try to pick up women but are constantly rejected. While taking classes, Ferrell got a job at an auction house via his friend Viveca Paulin. The job was ideal as it was flexible enough for him to audition and go to rehearsals while also being employed. He received small roles, including TV series Grace Under Fire and Living Single, low-budget films such as A Bucket of Blood, as well as commercials. One winter, he even served as a mall Santa Claus. Then, in 1994, he won a spot with the top professional group of The Groundlings.[14]
[edit] Saturday Night Live
After SNL's dip in popularity in 1994–1995 and in need of new cast members for the next season, a producer saw The Groundlings and asked Ferrell, Kattan, and Cheri Oteri to audition for SNL's main producer, Lorne Michaels.[15]
Ferrell joined Saturday Night Live in 1995 and left in 2002 after a successful seven-year tenure. He returned to host twice (both in season finales), and once in the cold open of the final episode of Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday.
During his time on SNL, Ferrell made a name for himself with his impersonations, which included:
- U.S. President George W. Bush
- Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray,
- Singer Robert Goulet (crooning a cappella pieces of music by Sisqó, Baha Men, and Notorious B.I.G.),
- Singer Neil Diamond,
- Inside the Actors Studio host James Lipton (who was quoted several times favoring Ferrell's impersonation),
- Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy,
- United States Attorney General Janet Reno,
- Convicted Unabomber Ted Kaczynski,
- Game show host Alex Trebek,
- Fictitious black private detective Shaft,
- Professional wrestler-turned-Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura,
- U.S. Vice President Al Gore (Darrell Hammond took over once Ferrell started playing Bush),
- Iraqi President Saddam Hussein,
- Cuban President Fidel Castro.
His original characters included "Morning Latte" co-host Tom Wilkins, Ed the Horse's twin brother Ned (cf. Mister Ed), fictional Blue Öyster Cult member Gene Frenkle (physically modeled after Blue Öyster Cult vocalist Eric Bloom), music teacher Marty Culp, Spartan cheerleader Craig Buchanan, Dale Sturtevant from "Dissing Your Dog", Hank of the Bill Brasky Buddies, David Leary from "Dog Show", and night clubber Steve Butabi in a sketch that went to the big screen in 1998's A Night at the Roxbury.
Ferrell returned to Saturday Night Live as a guest host on May 14, 2005, and May 16, 2009. Both times, he reprised his role as Alex Trebek in the "Celebrity Jeopardy" sketches. On the May 14 appearance, Ferrell reprised his role as Robert Goulet in a fake commercial advertising a series of crooned ringtones and, during the performance of the song "Little Sister" by musical guests Queens of the Stone Age, Ferrell came on stage playing the cowbell.
Ferrell became the highest paid cast member of Saturday Night Live in 2001 with a season salary of $350,000.[16]
Film career[link]
During his time on Saturday Night Live, Ferrell appeared in several movies: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, A Night at the Roxbury, Superstar, The Ladies Man, Dick, Drowning Mona, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Zoolander.
His first starring role came after his departure from SNL with Frank "The Tank" Richard in Old School (2003). The film "belongs to Mr. Ferrell", declared the New York Times, which described how he "uses his hilarious, anxious zealotry to sell the part."[17] Old School was a major success and Ferrell received an MTV Movie Awards nomination for Best Comedic Performance.
The title role in Elf (2003) followed, as did another MTV Movie Awards nomination. Ferrell continued to land comedy roles in 2004 and 2005 in films such as Melinda and Melinda, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Starsky & Hutch earning himself a place among Hollywood's Frat Pack.[18] In 2005, Ferrell earned $40 million.[19] In 2006, Ferrell starred in Stranger Than Fiction and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby; both received critical and box office success. Ferrell's performance in Stranger Than Fiction introduced audiences to the dramatic potential of Ferrell's acting talents. On December 27, 2006, 'The Magazine' named Ferrell as one of its three actors of the year in their 2006 year in review issue.[20]
Ferrell appeared as part of a pre-game video package for the Rose Bowl along with Texas alum Matthew McConaughey. Ferrell also sang a song at the ESPY Awards in 2006 about Lance Armstrong and Neil Armstrong. He and John C. Reilly also did a spot during the 2008 ESPY Awards where they made demands in order for them to appear at the ESPYs like asking Portland Trail Blazers' center Greg Oden to tuck them in at night and tell them stories of the old times or to bring back the Cold War so the Olympics can be interesting again.
Ferrell participated in a 79th Academy Awards musical-comedy performance with John C. Reilly and Jack Black, wherein they sang a song about comedies being snubbed by the voters in favor of dramas.
In May 2009 it was announced Ferrell is in talks to star in Neighborhood Watch, a comedy about an urbanite who moves to the suburbs and uncovers a conspiracy. In negotiations to direct is David Dobkin, who gave Ferrell a cameo in Wedding Crashers.[21] In August 2009, Ferrell decided not to do the film. In the summer of 2009, Ferrell did a large amount of filming with several young actors. He helped out on a film entitled Making a Movie[citation needed], which is now on DVD.
In June 2009, Land of the Lost was released. It was a commercial and critical flop after earning $19 million on opening weekend, about two-thirds of what the studio expected.[22][23]
In 2010, he was the executive producer and star of The Other Guys, a buddy cop film, which also has an ensemble cast which consists of Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Ray Stevenson, Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. Unlike Land of the Lost, the film was a commercial success, earning over $140 million,[24] and was positively reviewed by critics.
Ferrell is set to star in Casa de Mi Padre, a telenovela spoof comedy set in a ranch with Mexican stars Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal. The movie's story will be told in melodramatic telenovela form and will feature English-language subtitles.[25]
Voice acting[link]
Ferrell has worked as a voice actor in several animated television programs, including his portrayal of Bob Oblong, a 1950s-style father with no arms or legs, in the short-lived animated television series The Oblongs. He has had several guest appearances on Family Guy, where he played the Black Knight in "Mr. Saturday Knight", as well as Fat Greek Guy and Miles "Chatterbox" Musket in Fifteen Minutes of Shame. Ferrell also starred as Ted (a.k.a. The Man in the Yellow Hat) in the film Curious George[26] and guest voiced on an episode of the FOX sitcom King of the Hill as a political correct soccer coach. He voiced the title character in the 2010 DreamWorks Animation film Megamind.
Stage career[link]
Ferrell made his Broadway debut taking on departing U.S. President George W. Bush in a one-man show called You’re Welcome America. A Final Night with George W. Bush. The show started performances on January 20, 2009, in previews—Bush's final day in office—at the Cort Theatre and opened officially on February 1. The limited engagement played through March 15, 2009.[27]
Creating and producing[link]
[edit] Funny or Die
In April 2007, Ferrell launched "Funny or Die",[28] a streaming video website where short comedy films are uploaded and voted on by users. The site features The Landlord, starring Ferrell and Pearl McKay, the toddler daughter of Funny or Die co-founder Adam McKay. Ferrell's character is harassed for the rent by his landlady, a swearing, beer-loving, two-year-old girl (played by McKay's daughter, Pearl). Child psychologists have criticized Ferrell and the McKay family for child exploitation,[29] to which McKay responded:
Fortunately she is in this great stage now where she repeats anything you say to her and then forgets it right away, which is key. She has not said the 'B-word' since we shot the thing.
They followed with the release of a video entitled "Good Cop, Baby Cop" which also starred baby Pearl;[31] the end of the video stated that this would be her final appearance and wished her a happy "baby retirement."
In September 2008, Ferrell released another video entitled "Will Ferrell Answers Internet Questions" where he takes some pressing questions and comments from his fans.
Another Ferrell appearance on "Funny or Die"[28] is in the video called "Green Team," featuring also McKay and John C Reilly. It shows militant ecologic activists terrorizing the crew on a filming set.
[edit] Eastbound & Down
Ferrell co-produces (with Adam McKay) an HBO show starring Danny McBride called Eastbound & Down.[32] He also has a recurring role as car dealer Ashley Schaeffer.
Personal life[link]
In August 2000, Ferrell married Swedish actress Viveca Paulin, whom he met in 1995 at an acting class. They live in New York City and in Orange County, California and have three sons, Magnus Paulin Ferrell, born March 7, 2004,[33] Mattias Paulin Ferrell, born December 30, 2006,[34] and Axel Paulin Ferrell, born January 23, 2010.[35]
In 2006, I-Newswire.com, a site that accepts submissions from readers and publishes them as "press releases", reported that Ferrell had died in a paragliding accident. The hoax was published before its factual inaccuracy was noticed. The story was further propagated when it appeared on Google News.
Ferrell is a fan of USC Trojan football. At USC, Ferrell was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity and is now an active alumnus. Ferrell has worked with former head coach Pete Carroll to do motivational stunts for the players during the season.[9]
Ferrell is also a supporter of English Premier League football club [36] Chelsea, representing Chelsea as honorary captain in the coin toss before the Chelsea v Inter Milan match at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on July 21, 2009.[37]
Ferrell enjoys running and has participated in several major marathons such as the Boston, New York and Stockholm Marathons.[38] He also raises money for charity, including his Scholarships for Cancer Survivors campaign through Crowdrise; a social networking community for volunteers and a micro-donations fundraising platform.[39]
In 2007, Autograph magazine named Ferrell the worst celebrity autographer. Its editor stated, "What's so frustrating about Will Ferrell being the worst autograph signer this past year is that he used to be so nice to fans and collectors and a great signer. What makes him so bad is that he'll taunt people asking for his autograph."[40] In response, Ferrell has stated, "I don't know how I got on the list. I sign a lot of autographs", but has admitted to taunting autograph-seekers: "I do. I really do. I'm like, 'How badly do you want this autograph?' 'Are you sure?' 'You say you're my biggest fan, really, prove it.' I'll do things like that. They have to earn it."[41]
Ferrell had noted that, although he was well known for his SNL impersonation of President George W. Bush, he chose, for both professional and political reasons, not to meet the President on several occasions, unlike his SNL predecessor Dana Carvey's famous chummy relationship with George H. W. Bush: "I declined, partly out of comedic purposes, because when I was on the show Saturday Night Live at the time, it didn't make sense to really meet the people that you play, for fear of them influencing you. And then the other side of it is, from a political standpoint, I don't want to meet that guy."[41] Ferrell also appeared on an episode of Man vs. Wild, where he traveled throughout the tundras of Sweden with the show's host, Bear Grylls. In the episode, Ferrell came across various unique situations, which included eating the eye of a reindeer.[42]
Ferrell made a comical debut as a relief pitcher for the Round Rock Express, the Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, on May 6, 2010. He was introduced as "Billy Ray 'Rojo' Johnson", and was brought in to relief pitch for the sixth inning. He then entertained the fans by bringing a sack of beer cans to the mound, as well as being ejected and getting chased by the opposing batter. He revealed himself to the fans when his moustache fell off during the chase. The appearance was cooked up by Ferrell and the Express, who sent out a press release announcing Johnson's "signing", to promote The Will Powered Golf Classic the following day at the nearby Cimarron Hills Country Club, which benefits Cancer for College, an organization that provides scholarships to cancer survivors.[43]
Ferrell has an estimated net worth of $80 million.[44]
He appeared in the video for "Make Some Noise" by the Beastie Boys in the front of a limo playing a cowbell.

|
| Born | Ryan Thomas Gosling (1980-11-12) November 12, 1980 (age 31) London, Ontario, Canada |
| Occupation | Actor, musician, restaurant owner |
| Years active | 1993–present |
Ryan Thomas Gosling (born November 12, 1980) is a Canadian actor and musician. He began his career as a child star on the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club (1993–95) and went on to appear in other family entertainment programs including Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1995), Goosebumps (1996), Breaker High (1997–98) and Young Hercules (1998–99). His first serious role was as a Jewish neo-Nazi in The Believer (2001), and he then built a reputation for playing misfits in independent films such as Murder by Numbers (2002), The Slaughter Rule (2002), The United States of Leland (2003) and Stay (2005).
Gosling came to the attention of a wider audience in 2004 with a leading role in the romantic drama The Notebook, for which he won four Teen Choice Awards and an MTV Movie Award. His performance as a drug-addicted teacher in Half Nelson (2006) was nominated for an Academy Award and his performance as a socially inept loner in Lars and the Real Girl (2007) was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. In 2007, he starred in the courtroom thriller Fracture.
After a three-year acting hiatus, Gosling starred in both Blue Valentine and All Good Things in 2010. The former performance as a frazzled husband earned him a second Golden Globe nomination. 2011 proved to be a landmark year for the actor as he appeared in three mainstream films – the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, the thriller Drive and the political drama The Ides of March – and received two Golden Globe nominations. He is due to appear in five upcoming films: the period crime feature Gangster Squad, the generational drama The Place Beyond the Pines, the revenge drama Only God Forgives, an as-yet-untitled Terrence Malick film, and a remake of the sci-fi film Logan's Run.
Gosling's band, Dead Man's Bones, released their self-titled debut album and toured North America in 2009. He is a co-owner of Tagine, a Moroccan restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. He is a supporter of PETA, Invisible Children and the Enough Project and has travelled to Chad, Uganda and eastern Congo to raise awareness about conflicts in the region.

Early life[link]
Ryan Thomas Gosling was born in London, Ontario.[1] He is the son of Thomas Gosling, a traveling salesman for a paper mill,[2] and Donna, a secretary who qualified as a high school teacher in 2011.[3] Because of his father's work, they "moved around a lot"[2] and Gosling lived in both Cornwall, Ontario,[4] and Burlington, Ontario.[5] His parents were Mormons,[6] and Gosling has said that the religion influenced every aspect of their lives.[7] His parents divorced when he was a child and he and his older sister Mandi lived with their mother,[8] an experience Gosling has credited with programming him "to think like a girl".[9]
Gosling was educated at Gladstone Public School,[10] Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School and Lester B. Pearson High School.[11] He "hated" being a child,[7][12] was bullied in elementary school[13] and had no friends until he was "14 or 15".[14][15] In Grade 1, having been heavily influenced by the film First Blood, he took steak knives to school and threw them at other children during recess. This incident led to a suspension.[12] He was unable to read[16] and was diagnosed with ADHD, prescribed Ritalin, and placed in a class for special needs students.[17] Consequently, his mother quit her job and homeschooled him for a year.[17] Gosling has said that homeschooling gave him "a sense of autonomy that I've never really lost".[7]
Gosling performed from an early age. He and his sister sang together at weddings; he performed with Elvis Perry, his uncle's Elvis Presley tribute act,[18] and was involved with a local ballet company.[19] Performing boosted his self-confidence as it was the only thing he received praise for.[15] He developed an idiosyncratic accent because, as a child, he thought having a Canadian accent didn't sound "tough". He began to model his accent on that of Marlon Brando.[20] He dropped out of high school at the age of seventeen to focus on his acting career.[21]
Acting career[link]
Child star (1993–1999)[link]
In 1993, at the age of twelve, Gosling attended an open audition in Montreal for a revival of Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club.[22] He was given a two-year contract as a mouseketeer and moved to Orlando, Florida.[21] He appeared on-screen infrequently because other children were considered more talented.[23] Nonetheless, he has described the job as the greatest two years of his life.[21] Fellow cast members included Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and Gosling has credited the experience with instilling in them "this great sense of focus."[24] He became particularly close friends with Timberlake and they lived together for six months during the second year of the show. Timberlake's mother became Gosling's legal guardian after his mother returned to Canada for work reasons.[25] Gosling has said that, while they are no longer in touch, they are still supportive of each other.[24]
Following the show's cancellation in 1995, Gosling returned to Canada and continued to appear in family entertainment television series including Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1995),[26] Goosebumps (1996)[27] and Breaker High (1997–98).[28] At the age of eighteen, he moved to New Zealand to film the Fox Kids adventure series Young Hercules (1998–99).[29] While he initially enjoyed working on the series, he began to long for an opportunity to play a variety of characters and decided not to accept any more television work.[21]
Move to independent film (2000–2003)[link]
At the age of nineteen, Gosling decided to move into "serious film". He was dropped by his agent and initially found it difficult to secure work because of the "stigma" attached to children's television.[30] After a supporting role in the football drama Remember the Titans, Gosling secured a lead role as a young Jewish neo-Nazi in 2001's The Believer. Director Henry Bean has said he cast Gosling because his Mormon upbringing helped him understand the isolation of Judaism.[31] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times praised an "electrifying and terrifyingly convincing" performance[32] while Todd McCarthy of Variety felt his "dynamite performance" could "scarcely have been better".[33] The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival[34] and Gosling has described it as "the film that kind of gift-wrapped for me the career that I have now."[18] Because of the controversial nature of the film, it was difficult to secure financial backing for a full theatrical release[35] and the film was instead broadcast on Showtime.[35] The film was a commercial failure, grossing just $416,925 worldwide from a production budget of $1.5 million.[36]
In 2002's Murder by Numbers,[37] Gosling and Michael Pitt portrayed a pair of high school seniors who believe they can commit the perfect murder. Sandra Bullock starred as a detective tasked with investigating the crime. Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly described him as "a phenomenal talent even in junk like this"[38] while Todd McCarthy of Variety felt that the "strong and "charismatic" young actors were "let down by the screenplay".[39] The film was a minor commercial success, grossing $56 million worldwide from a production budget of $50 million.[40] His second screen appearance of 2002 was in The Slaughter Rule which explores the relationship between a high school football player and his troubled coach in rural Montana. Gosling has said that the opportunity to work with David Morse made him "a better actor".[41] Stephen Holden of The New York Times described Gosling as "major star material" with a "rawness and an intensity that recall the young Matt Dillon"[42] while Manohla Dargis of the Los Angeles Times was won over by his "raw talent".[43] The film was released in just three US theaters and grossed $13,411.[44]
In 2003, Gosling starred in The United States of Leland as a teenager imprisoned for the murder of a disabled boy. He was drawn to the role because it was unusual to find a character that was "emotionally disconnected for the whole film."[45] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times felt that the "gifted actor does everything that can be done with Leland, but the character comes from a writer's conceits, not from life."[46] A.O. Scott of The New York Times noted that he "struggles to rescue Leland from the clutches of cliché"[47] while David Rooney of Variety felt that his "one-note, blankly disturbed act has none of the magnetic edge of his breakthrough work in The Believer".[48] The film grossed $343,847 in the United States and was not released overseas.[49]
[edit] The Notebook and Half Nelson (2004–2009)
Gosling came to the attention of a mainstream audience in 2004 after starring opposite fellow Canadian Rachel McAdams in the romantic drama The Notebook.[50] Gosling sought to imbue his character with "quiet strength" and was inspired by the performance of Sam Shepard in Days of Heaven.[51] Filming took place in Charleston, South Carolina in late 2002 and early 2003.[52] Although Gosling and McAdams became romantically involved in 2005, they had a combative relationship on set.[53] "We inspired the worst in each other," Gosling has said. "It was a strange experience, making a love story and not getting along with your co-star in any way."[54] At one point, Gosling asked director Nick Cassavetes to "bring somebody else in for my off-camera shot" because he felt McAdams was uncooperative.[53] The New York Times praised the "spontaneous and combustible" performances of the two leads and noted that, "against your better judgment, you root for the pair to beat the odds against them."[55] Desson Thomson of The Washington Post praised Gosling's "beguiling unaffectedness" and noted that "it's hard not to like these two or begrudge them a great love together".[56] The film grossed over $115 million worldwide and, with adjustments for inflation, it remains the most commercially successful film of Gosling's career as of 2012.[57] Gosling won four Teen Choice Awards[58] and an MTV Movie Award.[59] Entertainment Weekly has said that the movie contains the All-Time Best Movie Kiss[60] while the Los Angeles Times has included a scene from the film in a list of the 50 Classic Movie Kisses.[61] The Notebook has appeared on many Most Romantic Movies lists.[62][63][64][65]
In 2005, Gosling appeared as a disturbed young art student in Stay, a psychological thriller co-starring Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. In an uncomplimentary review of the film, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said that Gosling "like his fans, deserves better."[66] Todd McCarthy of Variety felt that the "capable" McGregor and Gosling "deliver nothing new from what they've shown before".[67] The film grossed $8 million worldwide.[68] Gosling was unfazed by the negative reaction: "I had a kid come up to me on the street, 10 years old, and he says, ‘Are you that guy from Stay? What the f--- was that movie about?’ I think that's great. I'm just as proud if someone says, ‘Hey, you made me sick in that movie,’ as if they say I made them cry.”[69]
Gosling next starred in 2006's Half Nelson as a drug-addicted junior high school teacher who forms a bond with a young student. To prepare for the role, Gosling moved to New York for one month before shooting began. He lived in a small apartment in Brooklyn and spent time shadowing an eighth grade teacher.[70] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times described "a mesmerizing performance ... that shows the kind of deep understanding of character few actors manage."[71] Ruthe Stein of the San Francisco Chronicle drew comparisons with Marlon Brando and declared that "nobody who cares about great acting will want to miss his performance".[72] Roger Ebert felt the performance "proves he's one of the finest actors working in contemporary movies."[73] He was nominated for an Academy Award.[16] The film grossed $4 million at the worldwide box office.[74]
Gosling played an introvert who falls in love with a sex doll in the gently comedic 2007 film Lars and the Real Girl. He drew inspiration from James Stewart's performance in Harvey.[75] Roger Ebert felt "a film about a life-sized love doll" had been turned into "a life-affirming statement of hope" because of "a performance by Ryan Gosling that says things that cannot be said".[76] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post described his performance as "a small miracle ... because he changes and grows so imperceptibly before our eyes."[77] However, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt "the performance is a rare miscalculation in a mostly brilliant career."[78] He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.[79] The film was a box office failure, failing to recoup its $12 million production budget.[80]
Gosling starred opposite Anthony Hopkins in the 2007 courtroom thriller Fracture. He originally turned down the role, but changed his mind when Hopkins signed on.[81] He spent time shadowing lawyers and observing courtroom proceedings in preparation for the role.[82] Claudia Puig of USA Today declared that "watching a veteran like Hopkins verbally joust with one of the best young actors in Hollywood is worth the price of admission".[83] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt it was a treat to watch "the spectacle of that crafty scene stealer Anthony Hopkins mixing it up with that equally cunning screen nibbler Ryan Gosling ... Each actor is playing a pulp type rather than a fully formed individual, but both fill in the blanks with an alchemical mix of professional and personal charisma."[84] The film grossed over $91 million worldwide.[85]
Gosling was due to begin filming The Lovely Bones in 2007. However, he left the production two days before filming began because of "creative differences" and was replaced by Mark Wahlberg.[86] Gosling had been cast as the father of the murdered teenage girl and initially felt he was too young for the role. The director Peter Jackson and the producer Fran Walsh persuaded him that he could be aged with hair and make-up changes.[87] Before shooting began, Gosling gained 60 pounds in weight and grew a beard in order to appear older.[87] Walsh then "began to feel he was not right. It was our blindness, the desire to make it work no matter what."[87] Gosling later said, ""We didn't talk very much during the preproduction process, which was the problem ... I just showed up on set, and I had gotten it wrong. Then I was fat and unemployed."[87] He has said the experience was "an important realisation for me: not to let your ego get involved. It's OK to be too young for a role."[88]
Widespread recognition (2010–2011)[link]
Following a three year absence from the big screen, Gosling starred in five movies in 2010 and 2011. "I’ve never had more energy,” Gosling has said. “I’m more excited to make films than I used to be. I used to kind of dread it. It was so emotional and taxing. But I’ve found a way to have fun while doing it. And I think that translates into the films.”[30] He has also spoken of feeling depressed when not working.[15]
In 2010, he co-starred with Michelle Williams in Derek Cianfrance's directorial debut, Blue Valentine. The low-budget marital drama was mainly improvised and Gosling has said "you had to remind yourself you were making a film".[89] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle felt he "brings a preternatural understanding of people to his performance"[90] while A.O. Scott of The New York Times found him "convincing as the run-down, desperate, older Dean, and maybe a bit less so as the younger version".[91][91] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly noted that he "plays Dean as a snarky working-class hipster, but when his anger is unleashed, the performance turns powerful."[92] However, Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe felt the performance was an example of "hipsterism misdirected".[93] He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama. [94] The film was a box office success, grossing over $12 million worldwide from a production budget of $1 million.[95]
Gosling's second on-screen appearance of 2010 was in All Good Things, a mystery film based on a true story. He played the role of New York real-estate heir Robert Durst, who was investigated for the disappearance of his wife (played by Kirsten Dunst).[96] Gosling found the filming process to be a "dark experience".[97] When asked if he was proud of the film, he replied, "I'm proud of what Kirsten does in the movie."[97] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone felt he "gets so deep into character you can feel his nerve endings."[98] Mick La Salle of the San Francisco Chronicle found the "chameleonic Gosling is completely convincing as this empty shell of a man".[99] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times felt that the film belonged to Dunst, but noted that Gosling "is good too".[100] The film grossed $644,535 worldwide.[101] Also in 2010, Gosling narrated and produced ReGeneration, a documentary that explores the cynicism in today’s youth towards social and political causes.[102][103]
2011 saw Gosling expand his horizons by appearing in three diverse, high-profile roles. He appeared in his first comedic role in Crazy, Stupid, Love opposite Steve Carell and Emma Stone.[104] Gosling took cocktail-making classes at a Los Angeles bar in preparation for his role as a smooth-talking ladies' man.[105] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post said his "seductive command presence suggests we may have found our next George Clooney".[106] Peter Travers declared him "a comic knockout"[107] while Claudia Puig of USA Today felt he reveals a "surprising" "knack for comedy."[108] He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.[109] The film was a box office success, grossing over $142 million worldwide.[110] With adjustments for inflation, it is the second most successful of Gosling's career.[111]
Gosling's first action role was in Drive, based on a novel by James Sallis.[112] Gosling portrayed a Hollywood stunt performer who moonlights as a getaway driver and he has described the film as a "violent John Hughes movie": "I always thought if Pretty in Pink had head-smashing it would be perfect".[113] Roger Ebert compared Gosling to Steve McQueen and stated that he "embodies presence and sincerity ... he has shown a gift for finding arresting, powerful characters [and] can achieve just about anything.[114] Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal pondered "the ongoing mystery of how he manages to have so much impact with so little apparent effort. It's irresistible to liken his economical style to that of Marlon Brando."[115] The film was a box office success, grossing $70 million worldwide from a production budget of $15 million.[116]
In his final appearance of 2011, Gosling was directed by George Clooney in the political drama The Ides of March, in which he played an ambitious press secretary.[117] Gosling partly decided to do the film to become more politically aware: "I'm Canadian and so American politics aren't really in my wheelhouse."[118] Joe Morganstern of the Wall Street Journal said that Gosling and Philip Seymour Hoffman "are eminently well equipped to play variations on their characters' main themes. Yet neither actor has great material to conjure with in the script."[119] In an generally tepid review, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times asserted that it was "certainly involving to see the charismatic Gosling verbally spar with superb character actors like Hoffman and [Paul] Giamatti."[120] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle felt there was "one aspect to the character that Gosling can't quite nail down, that might simply be outside his sphere, which is idealism."[121] He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama.[109] The film grossed $66 million worldwide.[122]
Upcoming projects (2012)[link]
Gangster Squad, a 1940s crime drama, is set for release in 2012.[123] Gosling will portray Sgt. Jerry Wooters, an LAPD officer who attempts to outsmart mob boss Mickey Cohen. The director is Zombieland's Ruben Fleischer and Gosling has said, "it’s very, very different tonally [from his other films]."[124] Gosling has also completed work on the generational drama The Place Beyond the Pines, directed by Blue Valentine 's Derek Cianfrance,[125] and has described it as "the best experience I have ever had making a film."[19] The film is set for release in 2012.[126] Gosling will portray Luke, a motorcycle stunt rider who robs banks in order to provide for his family.[127]
Gosling has completed shooting Only God Forgives in Bangkok, Thailand.[128] It is his second collaboration with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn. He undertook Muay Thai training in preparation for the role.[124] The story revolves around Gosling's mother, played by Kristin Scott Thomas, who orders her son to avenge his brother's death. Gosling has described the script as “the strangest thing I’ve ever read.”[124]
In September 2012, Gosling will begin shooting an as-yet-untitled Terrence Malick film.[129] The film will costar Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara and Haley Bennett.[130] When asked to provide details of the film or his role, Gosling replied, "I can't comment. A chatty cathy that one."[131] Gosling had previously signed up to work with Malick in 2004 on the bio-pic Che.[132] However, Malick left the project to direct The New World and Gosling later dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.[133] Gosling is also scheduled to appear in a remake of the sci-fi film Logan's Run, again to be directed by Winding Refn.[134] He has yet to see the original film.[131]
Music career[link]
Main article: Dead Man's Bones
In 2007, Gosling made a solo recording called "Put Me in the Car" available for download on the internet.[135] Also that year, Gosling and his friend Zach Shields formed indie rock band Dead Man's Bones. The two first met in 2005 when Gosling was dating Rachel McAdams and Shields was dating her sister, Kayleen.[136] They initially conceived of the project as a monster-themed musical but settled on forming a band when they realized putting on a stage production would be too expensive.[136] They recorded their self-titled debut with the Silverlake Conservatory's Children's Choir and learned to play all the instruments themselves.[136] Gosling contributed vocals, piano, guitar, bass guitar and cello to the record.[137]
The album was released through ANTI- Records on October 6, 2009.[138] Pitchfork was won over by the "unique, catchy and lovably weird record"[139] while Prefix Magazine felt the album was "rarely kitschy and never inappropriate."[140] However, Spin Magazine felt the album "doesn't reverse the rule that actors make dubious pop musicians"[141] and Entertainment Weekly criticized its "cloying, gothic preciousness".[142]
In September 2009, Gosling and Shields had a three-night residency at LA's Bob Baker Marionette Theater where they performed alongside dancing neon skeletons and glowing ghosts.[143][137] They then conducted a thirteen-date tour of North America in October 2009, using a local children's choir at every show.[144][145] Instead of an opening act, a talent show was held each night.[146] In September 2010, they performed at Los Angeles' FYF Festival.
In 2011, the actor spoke of his intentions to record a second Dead Man's Bones album. No children's choir will feature on the follow-up album because "it's not very rock 'n' roll."[147]
Personal life[link]
Gosling lives in New York City.[148] He co-owns Tagine, a Moroccan restaurant in Beverly Hills, California.[149] He bought the restaurant on an impulse and said he spent "all my money" on it.[150] He spent a year doing the renovation work himself and now oversees the restaurant's menus.[150][151]
Gosling dated American actress Sandra Bullock for a year from 2002 to 2003.[152] He had a two-year relationship with Canadian actress Rachel McAdams from mid-2005 to mid-2007.[153][154] They briefly reunited in the summer of 2008.[155][156][157] Following their split, he described McAdams as "one of the great loves of my life".[158] He dated Kat Dennings in late 2009, Blake Lively in late 2010 and Olivia Wilde in early 2011.[159][160][161][162] Gosling began dating American actress and model Eva Mendes in September 2011.[163]
Fox News and the New York Post have reported that Gosling was arrested by LAPD officers on 17 March 2005. Gosling pleaded "no contest" to a misdemeanor charge of "exhibiting speed", despite being originally charged with "driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs" and "driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or greater." He was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay $849 in fines.[164][165]
Gosling is supportive of various social causes. He has worked with PETA on a campaign to encourage KFC and McDonalds to use improved methods of chicken slaughter in their factories.[166][167] Gosling volunteered in Biloxi, Mississippi in 2005, as part of the clean-up effort following Hurricane Katrina.[168] He is a supporter of Invisible Children Inc, a group that raises awareness about the LRA in Central Africa.[169] In 2005, Gosling travelled to Darfur refugee camps in Chad.[170][16] He was a speaker at Campus Progress's National Conference in 2008 where he discussed Darfur.[171] As part of his work with the Enough Project, he visited Uganda in 2007[172] and eastern Congo in 2010.[173]

Early life[link]
Jennifer Aniston was born in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles[7] to actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow.[8] Her father is Greek and a native of Crete, while her mother was born in New York City. One of Aniston's maternal great-grandfathers was an Italian immigrant;[9] her mother's other ancestry is Scottish, Irish, and a small amount of Greek.[10] Aniston has two half-brothers, John Melick, her maternal older half-brother, and Alex Aniston, her younger paternal half-brother.[7][8] Aniston's godfather was actor Telly Savalas, one of her father's best friends.[7][8] As a child, Aniston lived in Greece for one year with her family. They later relocated to New York City.[8] Aniston attended the Rudolf Steiner School in New York,[11] and graduated from Manhattan's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.[7] She worked in Off Broadway productions such as For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave,[8] and supported herself with several part-time jobs, which included working as a telemarketer, waitress, and bike messenger.[8] In 1989, Aniston moved back to Los Angeles.[12]
Career[link]
Television[link]
Aniston was cast in her first television role in 1990, starring as a regular on the short-lived series Molloy and in the TV movie Camp Cucamonga.[13] She also co-starred in Ferris Bueller, a television adaptation of the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.[13] The series, however, was quickly canceled.[8] Aniston then appeared in two more failed television comedy series, The Edge and Muddling Through, and guest-starred on Quantum Leap, Herman's Head, and Burke's Law.[13] After the string of canceled shows, along with her appearance in the critically derided 1992 horror film, Leprechaun,[14] Aniston reportedly considered giving up acting.[8]
Aniston's plans changed, however, after auditioning for Friends, a sitcom that was set to debut on NBC's 1994–1995 fall lineup.[7][15] The producers of the show originally wanted Aniston to audition for the role of Monica Geller,[15] but Courteney Cox was considered to be better suited to the role. Thus, Aniston was cast as Rachel Green. She was also offered a spot as a featured player on Saturday Night Live, but turned it down to do Friends.[16] She played the character of Rachel from 1994 until the show ended in 2004.[17][18]
The program was successful and Aniston, along with her co-stars, gained world-wide reputation among television viewers.[7] Aniston received a salary of $1 million per episode for the last two seasons of Friends, as well as five Emmy nominations (two for Supporting Actress, three for Lead Actress),[19][20][21][22] including a win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.[23] According to the Guinness World Book of Records (2005), Aniston (along with her female costars) became the highest paid TV actress of all time with her $1 million-per-episode paycheck for the tenth season of Friends.[24]
In 2007, Aniston guest starred in an episode of Courteney Cox Arquette's series Dirt, playing Arquette's rival, Tina Harrod.[25] She appeared in the third episode of Season 3 of NBC's 30 Rock playing Liz Lemon's old college roommate who stalks Jack Donaghy.[26] On July 16, 2009, Aniston received an Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role on 30 Rock. Aniston was a guest star on the Season 2 premiere of ABC's sitcom Cougar Town, playing a psychiatrist.[27]
Film[link]
While appearing on Friends, Aniston also started segueing into film roles. She made her film debut in 1992's Leprechaun, which was negatively reviewed by critics, but was commercially successful and gained a cult following. Following a four year hiatus from cinema, Aniston returned to film work in 1996, when she played supporting roles in the independent films Dream for an Insomniac, and She's the One, alongside Edward Burns and Cameron Diaz. Aniston's first starring vehicle was the film Picture Perfect (1997), in which she starred opposite Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr. While the film received mixed reviews, Aniston's performance was more warmly received, with many critics suggesting that she had screen presence.[28] During the second half of the 1990s she starred in several films such as the ensemble romantic film 'Til There Was You (1997) with Dylan McDermott and Sarah Jessica Parker, The Thin Pink Line (1998), the animated feature The Iron Giant (1999), and the critically acclaimed comedy Office Space (1999). She gained critical acclaim for her performances in The Object of My Affection (1998), a comedy-drama about a woman who falls for a gay man (played by Paul Rudd),[29] and in the low-budget 2002 film The Good Girl, playing an unglamorous cashier in a small town. The latter film opened in relatively few theaters—under 700 in total—taking $14M in the U.S. box office.[30]
Aniston's biggest box office success to date was her appearance in 2003's Bruce Almighty, in which she played the live-in girlfriend of Jim Carrey's title character.[31] Aniston then starred in the 2004 film Along Came Polly opposite Ben Stiller.[32] In late 2005, Aniston appeared in two major studio films, Derailed and Rumor Has It….[33][34] In 2006, Aniston appeared in the low-budget drama Friends with Money, which was first shown at the Sundance Film Festival and received a limited release.[35] Aniston's next film, The Break-Up, which was released on June 2, grossed approximately $39.17 million during its opening weekend, despite lukewarm reviews.[36] In 2006, Aniston directed a hospital emergency room-set short film called Room 10, starring Robin Wright Penn and Kris Kristofferson as part of Glamour's Reel Moments film series.[37] Aniston noted that she was inspired to direct by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who also directed a short film in 2006.[38]
On December 25, 2008, Marley & Me, in which Aniston starred alongside Owen Wilson, was released. It set a record for the largest Christmas Day box office ever with $14.75 million in ticket sales. It earned a total of $51.7 million over the four-day weekend and placed #1 at the box office, a position it maintained for two weeks.[39] The total worldwide gross was $242,717,113.[40] Her next film in wide release, He's Just Not That into You, where she starred opposite Ben Affleck, opened in February 2009. The movie made $27.5 million, ranking #1 at the box office in its opening weekend.[41] While the film received mixed reviews, Aniston, along with Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Jennifer Connelly, were often praised by critics as being the stand-outs in the film.[42][43]
In March 2010, Aniston appeared in The Bounty Hunter, which costarred Gerard Butler. While the film received scathing reviews from critics, it was a modest box office success, garnering over $130 million worldwide.[44] A lukewarm box-office reception greeted her next film, The Switch, in which she co-starred with Jason Bateman. The film's opening weekend drew what The Hollywood Reporter dubbed "a dispiriting $8.4 million".[45] The film received generally mixed reviews, with review site Metacritic showing 13 out of 30 critics delivering a positive verdict.[46]
By June 20, 2010, Aniston's movies had grossed more than $1 billion in the United States and over $1.7 billion worldwide.[47] Aniston's Just Go with It, with Adam Sandler,[48] was released on Valentine's Day weekend in 2011.[49] The story is about a plastic surgeon, played by Sandler, who asks his office manager, played by Aniston, to pose as his wife, to prove his honesty to his much younger girlfriend, played by Brooklyn Decker.[50] Also in 2011, Aniston starred in the comedy movie Horrible Bosses, with Colin Farrell, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jamie Foxx, directed by Seth Gordon. The film focuses on a trio of employees who plot to murder their titular tyrannical supervisors. Aniston played one of the bosses, a sexually aggressive dentist who harasses Charlie Day's character.[51]
In 2012, Aniston appeared in Wanderlust with Paul Rudd,[52] with whom she co-starred in the 1998 movie The Object of My Affection and also Friends.[53] The script, bought by Universal Pictures,[54] was written by Rudd, Ken Marino, and David Wain, with the latter also directing the film, and was produced by Judd Apatow.[55] The movie was about a married couple who join a commune after losing their money and deciding modern life is not for them.[56]
EUE/Screen Gems Productions is expected to start work on We're the Millers in Summer 2012 in the Wilmington, North Carolina area. Aniston and Jason Sudeikis star in the comedy about a drug dealer with a fake family.[57]

In 2001, Aniston was in Melissa Etheridge's music video for "I Want To Be In Love". She was cast in a Heineken commercial which was later banned in the U.S. due to branding issues.[citation needed] Aniston has also been in commercials for L'Oreal hair products.

Aniston worked for over a year on a new perfume, which was released on July 21, 2010, at Harrods in London.[63][64] Original plans called for the perfume to be named Lolavie by Jennifer Aniston, but to avoid confusion with a similarly named perfume, the name was changed to simply Jennifer Aniston.[65] In an interview following the launch, Aniston said that she would also like to create a fragrance for men.[66]
Since 2007, Aniston has worked in a publicity campaign for the drink SmartWater; on March 7, 2011, she released a YouTube video, titled "Jennifer Aniston Goes Viral", for SmartWater, tripling online interest in the product within 24 hours of the release.[67][68][69]

Personal life[link]
In May 1998, Aniston began dating actor Brad Pitt. They married on July 29, 2000, in a private wedding ceremony in Malibu.[79] For a few years, their marriage was considered the rare Hollywood success.[8] However, the couple announced their separation on January 6, 2005.[80] Pitt and Aniston were seen together publicly after announcing their separation, even at a dinner party for Aniston's 36th birthday, and friends of the couple had declared they were reconciling.[81] Aniston, however, filed for divorce on March 25, 2005.[2] It was finalized on October 2, 2005.[82] During this period there was intense speculation in the media that Pitt had been unfaithful to Aniston with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star, Angelina Jolie.[83]
In the following months, the public's reaction towards the divorce was reported in the press. The story became the headline news of media shows such as Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood, and made the front-pages of tabloid magazines for years, continuing till this day. 'Team Aniston' and 'Team Jolie' T-shirts appeared, with 'Team Aniston' shirts out-selling the 'Team Jolie' shirts 4:1.[83] Aniston revealed that her divorce prompted her to reach out to her mother, Nancy, from whom she was estranged for nearly a decade. They initially became estranged when Nancy spoke about her daughter on a television show and later wrote a book entitled, From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir (1999).[84][85] Aniston has also stated she was devastated by the death of her longtime therapist, whose work helped make her separation from Pitt easier.[38] Aniston said her relationship with Pitt, which she does not regret, was "seven very intense years together" and that "it was a beautiful, complicated relationship."[86]
After her divorce, Aniston began a relationship with actor Vince Vaughn, with whom she co-starred in The Break-Up. Relationship troubles were reported in September 2006, followed by a confirmed split in December of that year.[80] She dated British model Paul Sculfor for a few months in 2007.[87] In February 2008, she began dating singer John Mayer.[80] The couple broke up in August, but they resumed the relationship in October before splitting again in March 2009.
In May 2011, Aniston began a relationship with Justin Theroux. She sold her Beverly Hills mansion in July 2011 for $38 million. In January 2012, Aniston and Theroux purchased a home in Los Angeles’s Bel-Air neighborhood for roughly $22 million.[88]
Aniston has had two septoplasties to correct her deviated septum—one which was incorrectly done in 1994 and the second in January 2007.[89]
Aniston is the godmother of Coco Riley Arquette, the daughter of her good friends, actors Courteney Cox and David Arquette.[90]

In 2007, Forbes rated Aniston as one of the top 10 richest women in entertainment and estimated her net worth to be about $110 million.[91] Aniston was also included in the annual Star Salary Top 10 of trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter for 2006.[92] According to Forbes, in October 2007, Aniston was the top-selling celebrity face of the entertainment industry.[93] She was also Hollywood's most profitable actress. Aniston has been on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, based on "earnings and fame", every year since 2001, topping the list in 2003.[94] For the year of 2008, Forbes listed Aniston's earnings as $27 million.[95]
In 2005, Aniston became the first-ever GQ Woman of the Year. She has appeared on People's annual list of The Most Beautiful every year since 1995, and came in at #1 in 2004. She also topped the magazine's Best Dressed List in 2006. She has been a regular on FHMs 100 Sexiest Women list since 1996, ranking at #79 in 2012, #81 in 2010, #24 in 2009 and #27 in 2008.[96] In 2011 The Telegraph reported the most sought after body parts of the rich and famous revealed by two Hollywood plastic surgeons who carried out a survey among their patients to build up the picture of what the perfect woman would look like. Under the category of the most sought after body shape Aniston was voted in the top three alongside Gisele Bundchen and Penelope Cruz.[97] In the same year, readers of Men's Health magazine voted Aniston the "Sexiest Woman of All Time".[98]
Although Aniston disliked the hairstyle she wore during her first two years on Friends, "The Rachel" became and remains very popular among women.[2]

James Christian "Jimmy" Kimmel (born November 13, 1967) is an American comedian, actor, voice artist and television host. He is the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a late-night talk show that airs on ABC. Prior to that, Kimmel was best known as the co-host of Comedy Central's The Man Show and Win Ben Stein's Money. Kimmel is also a television producer, having produced shows such as Crank Yankers, Sports Show with Norm Macdonald, and The Andy Milonakis Show.
Contents |
Early life[link]
Kimmel was born in the Mill Basin neighborhood of the New York City borough of Brooklyn,[1] the eldest of three children of Joann (née Iacono), a homemaker, and James Kimmel, an IBM executive.[2][3][4] He is Roman Catholic and, as a child, served as an altar boy.[5][6] Kimmel is of German and Irish descent on his father’s side and Italian descent on his mother’s side.[7] His uncle, Frank Potenza, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as a regular from 2003 until his death in 2011.[8]
The family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was nine years old.[2] He graduated from Ed W. Clark High School and then attended University of Nevada, Las Vegas for one year before attending Arizona State University for two years without completing a degree.
Career[link]
Radio career[link]
Kimmel began working in the radio industry while in high school, hosting a Sunday night interview show on UNLV's college station KUNV. While attending Arizona State University, he became a popular caller to the KZZP-FM afternoon show hosted by radio personalities Mike Elliott and Kent Voss in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1989, Kimmel landed his first paying job alongside Voss as morning drive co-host of The Me and Him Show at KZOK-FM in Seattle, Washington. Ten months later, Kimmel and Voss were fired by KZOK (for reasons unknown) and were fired again a year later at WRBQ-FM in Tampa, Florida. Kimmel went from Tampa to host his own show at KCMJ in Palm Springs, California, where Kimmel convinced a young Carson Daly to drop out of college and become his intern. After a morning stint at KRQQ In Tucson, Arizona, Kimmel landed at KROQ-FM in Los Angeles. He spent five years as "Jimmy The Sports Guy" for the Kevin and Bean morning show. During this time he met and befriended a struggling comedian named Adam Carolla.[citation needed]
Comedy Central[link]
Kimmel began his television career as the comedic counterpart to Ben Stein on the game show Win Ben Stein's Money, which began airing on Comedy Central in 1997. His quick wit and loutish everyman personality were counterpoints to Stein's monotone performing style and patrician demeanor. The combination earned the pair an Emmy award for Best Game Show Host.[citation needed]
In 1999, during his time with Win Ben Stein's Money, Kimmel was also co-host with Adam Carolla and co-creator (with Daniel Kellison) of Comedy Central's The Man Show. Kimmel permanently left Win Ben Stein's Money in 2001, replaced by comedian Nancy Pimental, who was eventually replaced by Kimmel's cousin Sal Iacono. The Man Show's success allowed Kimmel, Carolla and Kellison to create and produce, under the banner Jackhole Industries, Crank Yankers for Comedy Central (on which Kimmel plays the characters "Elmer Higgins", "Terrence Catheter", "The Nudge", "Karl Malone" and himself), and later The Andy Milonakis Show for MTV2. Kimmel also produced and co-wrote the feature film Windy City Heat, which won the Comedia Award for Best Film at the Montreal Comedy Festival.[citation needed]
[edit] Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Main article: Jimmy Kimmel Live!
In January 2003, Kimmel permanently left The Man Show to host his own late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC. Jimmy Kimmel Live was briefly also broadcast on Irish digital TV channel 3e.[9] In the April 2007 issue of Stuffmagazine.com, Kimmel was named the "biggest badass on TV". Kimmel said it was an honor but clearly a mistake.
Since the show's second season, it has not actually been broadcast live. This is due to an incident during the 2004 NBA Finals in Detroit, when Kimmel appeared on ABC's halftime show to make an on-air plug for his show. He suggested that if the Detroit Pistons defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, "they're gonna burn the city of Detroit down ... and it's not worth it." Officials with Detroit's ABC affiliate, WXYZ-TV, immediately announced that night's show would not air on the station. Hours later, ABC officials pulled that night's show from the entire network. Kimmel later apologized.[10] The incident led ABC officials to force Kimmel to tape his show an hour before it airs in most of the country to check for offending content.[11]
Kimmel usually ends his show with, "My apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time." When Matt Damon did actually appear on the show to be interviewed, he walked in and sat down only to be told just a few seconds later by Kimmel, "Sorry, but once again we are completely out of time." Damon seemed to become angry.[citation needed]
In February 2008 Kimmel showed a mock music video with a panoply of stars called, "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck",[12] as "revenge" after his then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon recorded a similar video, "I'm Fucking Matt Damon". Silverman's video originally aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and became an "instant YouTube sensation."[13] Kimmel's "revenge" video featured himself, Ben Affleck, and a large lineup of stars, particularly in scenes spoofing the 1985 "We Are the World" video: Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Dominic Monaghan, Benji Madden and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, Lance Bass, Macy Gray, Josh Groban, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Pete Wentz, Meat Loaf, Rebecca Romijn, Christina Applegate, Dom Joly, Mike Shinoda, Lauren Conrad, and Joan Jett, among others. After this Jimmy's sidekick, Guillermo, appeared in a spoof of The Bourne Ultimatum, which starred Damon. He was then chased down by Damon as Matt cursed about Kimmel being behind all this. Guillermo also stopped Damon on the red carpet one time and before he could finish the interview he said, "Sorry we are out of time." The most recent encounter was titled "The Handsome Men's Club" which featured Kimmel, along with the "Handsome Men", who were: Matthew McConaughey, Rob Lowe, Lenny Kravitz, Patrick Dempsey, Sting, Keith Urban, John Krasinski, Ethan Hawke, Josh Hartnett, Tony Romo, Ted Danson, Taye Diggs, Gilles Marini, and Ben Affleck, speaking about being handsome and all the jobs that come with it. At the end of the skit Kimmel has a door slammed in his face by none other than Matt Damon, stating that they had run out of time and then Damon continues with a sinister laugh. Jennifer Garner also makes a surprise appearance.
As a tradition, celebrities voted off Dancing with the Stars appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, causing Kimmel to describe himself as "the three-headed dog the stars must pass on their way to No-Dancing Hell".[14] In the 2008 season of his show, Kimmel started another tradition of ceremonially burning the dancers' shoes after they were voted off DWTS.[citation needed]
Other television work[link]
In Spring 1996, Kimmel appeared as "Jimmy the Fox Guy" in promos on the Fox network.
Kimmel's other television work included being the on-air football prognosticator for Fox NFL Sunday for four years. He has had numerous appearances on other talk shows including, but not limited to, Live with Regis and Kelly, The Howard Stern Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Late Show with David Letterman. Kimmel has appeared on The Late Show five times, most recently in 2010. Kimmel served as roastmaster for the New York Friars' Club Roast of Hugh Hefner and Comedy Central Roasts of Pamela Anderson. He has appeared on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, along with his parking lot security guard Guillermo.
In August 2006, ABC announced that Jimmy Kimmel would be the host of their new game show Set for Life.[15] The show debuted on July 20, 2007. On April 6, 2007, Kimmel filled in for Larry King on Larry King Live. That particular show was about the paparazzi and Kimmel reproached Emily Gould, an editor from Gawker.com, about the web site's alleged stalking of celebrities. On July 8, 2007, Kimmel managed the National League in the 2007 Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game in San Francisco. He played in the game in 2004 and 2006 (Houston and Pittsburgh). On July 11, 2007, Kimmel along with basketball player LeBron James, hosted the 2007 ESPY Awards. The show aired on ESPN on July 15, 2007. Kimmel hosted the American Music Awards on ABC four times, in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Kimmel guest hosted Live with Regis and Kelly during the week of October 22, 2007 – October 26, 2007, commuting every day between New York and Los Angeles. In the process, he broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest distance (22,406 miles (36,059 km)) travelled in one work week.[16]
Kimmel has performed in several animated films, often voicing dogs. His voice appeared in Garfield and Road Trip, and he portrayed Death's Dog in the Family Guy episode "Mr. Saturday Knight"; Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane later presented Kimmel with a figurine of his character on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Kimmel also did voice work for Robot Chicken. Kimmel's cousin "Sal" (Sal Iacono) has accepted and won a wrestling match with WWE superstar Santino Marella. On January 14, 2010, in the midst of the 2010 Tonight Show host and time slot conflict, Kimmel was the special guest of Jay Leno on The Jay Leno Show's "10 at 10" segment. Kimmel derided Leno in front of a live studio audience for taking back the 11:35 pm time slot from Conan O'Brien, and repeatedly insulted Leno. He ended the segment with a plea that Leno "leave our shows alone," as Kimmel and O'Brien had "kids" while Leno only had "cars".[17]
Kimmel also made a brief appearance in the TV commercial "There's A Soldier In All Of Us" promoting the 2010 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops, along with Kobe Bryant. He is seen taking cover from bullets, then firing an RPG-7 with the words PROUD N00b on it, with the aftershock from the weapon sending him tumbling backwards.
He has been asked to host the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards which will air on September 23, 2012, marking his first time hosting the event.[18]
Kimmel hosted the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C. on April 28, 2012.
Personal life[link]
Kimmel and his then girlfriend, Gina, married in June 1988. They have two children, Katie (born 1991) and Kevin (born 1993). The marriage ended in separation in early 2002. Kimmel then dated comedian Sarah Silverman for five years, splitting with her in March 2009.[19] He started dating current girlfriend, Molly McNearney, in October 2009. McNearney is also a co-head writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live.[20]
Kimmel plays the bass clarinet. He got a chance to showcase his talent during a July 20, 2008, concert in Costa Mesa, California, featuring the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, when he took the stage and played bass clarinet on their hit song "The Impression That I Get."[21]
Kimmel has spoken publicly of being a narcoleptic.[22]
Kimmel co-founded the annual LA Feast of San Gennaro,[23] which celebrates Italian culture through entertainment, music and cuisine. The festival also honors outstanding members of the Los Angeles community and raises funds to aid needy children and families in the city. He hosted Los Angeles' eighth annual feast of San Gennaro from September 28 to 30, 2009.[24] Kimmel served as Master of Ceremonies for the National Italian American Foundation's 34th Anniversary Gala in Washington, D.C., on October 24, 2009.
