http://www.singularityweblog.com/david-brin-on-singularity-1-on-1/ David Brin is not only a PhD in astro-physics but also an award winning, best selling science fiction author, perhaps best known for his uplift series of novels and, most recently, Existence. Originally, I was supposed to interview Brin in the summer. Unfortunately, I got a concussion the day before and thus had to delay it. David is a busy man so it took a while to book another date but eventually we did and I have to say that I very much enjoyed talking to and being challenged by him. During our conversation with Brin we cover a wide variety of topics such as: his interest in science fiction, writing and civilization; his novel The Postman which later became a feature film with Kevin Costner; his views on post-modernism, progress, ethics and objective reality; pessimistic versus optimistic science fiction; the self-preventing prophesy as the greatest form of science fiction (e.g. George Orwell's 1984); his role of lead prosecutor in Star Wars on Trial and Yoda as one of the most evil characters; his latest novel Existence... My favorite quote that I will take away from this interview with David Brin is: "What's important is not me. And it's not you. It's us!" Correction: the Oedipus tragedy was written by Sophocles, not by Aristophanes as I say during the interview.

noodls 2015-02-20Glen David Brin, Ph.D. (born October 6, 1950) is an American scientist and award-winning author of science fiction. He has received the Hugo,Locus,Campbell and Nebula Awards.
Brin was born in Glendale, California in 1950. In 1973, he graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in astrophysics. He followed this with a Master of Science in applied physics in 1978 and a Doctor of Philosophy in space science in 1981, both from the University of California, San Diego.

He currently lives in southern California with his children.
His ancestors come from Poland, from the area around Konin. His grandfather was drafted into the Russian army and fought in the Russian-Japanese War of 1905.
Brin's body of science fiction, when taken as a whole, is normally categorized as hard science fiction.
About half of Brin's works are in his Uplift Universe. These have won a large following in the SF community, twice winning the international Science Fiction Achievement Award (Hugo Award) in the Best Novel category.
(Would you) fall with me?
Tumble into lost horizons
(It's a) long way down
To the streets below
(Now I'm) on my way
If I get an invitation
I believe
But you never know
I could be happy, no doubt
I could be crunchy, that's how
Livin' my daydreams, you know
Dancin' on tip toes, for show
Hologram, priestess, success, I guess
Lingerie, he knows, no clothes, exposed
Victory, cocktail, telltale, on sale
Hotter than sunshine, sometime, headlines
(Would you) fall with me?
We could be so happy, baby
(Would you) go my way?
I believe you do
(Would you) save my life?
If I set my hair on fire
Who am I?
If I only knew
Tumblin' backwards, my love
Heavenly creatures, too much
Everything changes, the say
Fresh as a daisy, someday
Takin' a road trip, good fit, ain't it
Send me a postcard, backyard, how far?
Genuine laughter, faster, blaster
Suddenly hit me, fit me, tipped me
(Would you) fall with me?
Tumble into lost horizons
(It's a) long way down
To the streets below
(Now I'm) on my way
If I get an invitation
I believe
But you never know
(Would you) fall with me?
We could be so happy, baby
(Would you) go my way?
I believe you do
(Would you) save my life?
If I set my hair on fire
Who am I?
If I only knew
Back from the war
Covered in red, white and blue
So here I am
But I got nowhere to go
Heaven help you now
Heaven help you now
Monkey man
This is not Garden of Eden
Take a look
Who will eat and who gets eaten?
Saturday night
I'm gettin' outa my head
Who's laughin' now
You should be runnin' my friend
Heaven help us now
Heaven help us now
Monkey man
D.N.A. and evolution
Slide on down
Say goodbye civilization
A hundred miles an hour in my mind
And there you go
Outa control into the promised land
And down we go
Monkey man
Are we just some weird mutation?
Oh, my mind!
Lead me not into temptation
Like a snake
I will strike without a warnin'
Holy cow
Someone pinch me, am I dreamin'?
Monkey man
Let's get back to where we started
Slide on down
Combing the snakes in his head
Reading a book in his bed
Getting ready for the night to begin
Waiting for daylight to end
In this court of law
This court of common pleas
The crimes that you've committed
You claim were only a dream
Ev'ryone has the same dreams
On diff'rent days of the week
We are the watchdogs of your mind
We are the dream police
The judge has closed his eyes
The court begins to dream
Of crimes that you committed
While you were lying asleep
Ev'reyone has the same dreams
On diff'rent days of the week
We are the watchdogs of your mind
We are the dream police
Combing the snakes in his head
Reading a book in his bed
Getting ready for the night to begin
Waiting for daylight to end
Getting ready for the night to begin
He is a boy
You are a girl
And you will always stay that way
But there are people
In this world
Who'd like to change what nature made
And if you take that decision
Then they will make that incision - down below
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
But I never heard a word they're tellin' me
Oh little girl
Please understand
And listen to the words I say
I was your dad
Now I'm your mom
I hope you'll comprehend someday
I didn't mean to confuse you
And now I know that it's hard to understand
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
But I never heard a word they're sayin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
And when Columbus sailed
Upon that mighty sea
Well, we are just like him
Yes, we are pioneers
Into the great unknown
The wild uncharted lands
There ain't no turning back
Ain't gonna be no chains on me
Who would ever believe
Caterpillars like me
Turning into a butterfly
Well, I was suddenly free
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
You know I'm man enough
Ain't gonna run and hide
My love is mighty tough
My love is mighty wild
I got a pair o' wings
And I'm gonna fly away
Too late to turn back now
It was a pretty picture
It almost made me cry
He's got Big imagination
It's better than real life
He can be a macho man
And now he's a game show host
Well one minute hilarious comedian
Now he's an undercover cop
Oh - let the poor boy dream
Oh - livin' make-believe
So how can we be strangers
He's got no personality
It's just a clever imitation
Of the people on TV
A line for every situation
He's learnin' trivia and tricks
Havin' sex and eatin' cereal
Wearin' jeans and smokin' cigarettes now
Oh - let the poor boy dream
Oh - livin' make-believe
Oh - let the poor boy dream
Oh - livin' make-believe
I can be you and you can be me
In my mundo, todo el mundo
Everyone's happy and everyone's free
Todo mundo, mundo mambo
Here in my mundo where nothing is wrong
Todo mundo, in my mundo
I'm a lady and you are a man
Mundo mambo, todo el mundo
Oh - let the poor boy dream
Oh - livin' make-believe
In my mundo, todo mundo
Mundo mambo, in my mundo
Todo el mundo, mundo mambo
Mundo mambo, Todo mundo
Oh - let the poor boy dream
Oh - livin' make-believe
Mundo mambo, todo el mundo
In my mundo, todo mundo
Todo el mundo, mundo mambo
Now and then I get horny
At night you do
At night you do
Smile - from side to side
At night you do
At night you do
She'll be comin' round the mountain
Six white horses by her side
No stops for gas, food or lodging
She's wearing nothing but a smile
And though we struggle for our freedom
Our need for others still remains
We know what will make us happy
We know what will ease our pain
We'll pretend we are married
At night we do
At night we do
Slide your hand in mine
At night we do
At night we do
My bed is flyin' out the window
I'm pullin' up my covers to the rain
And down below cats are howlin'
It's a family affair
They're selling vegetables on Broadway
A man is runnin' for the train
Strollin' down 42nd Street
On our Independence Day
Rub-A-Dub on 57th Street
On our Independence Day!
Arm in arm on 82nd Street
It's our Independence Day
Hey Mister, Hey Lady
Hey sisters walkin' hand in hand
We'll be lovers in the open
We'll be lovers on Independence Day
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Hand in hand on Independence Day
This compass points in two directions
And North and South are both the same
We'll look forward to the good times
Come our Independence Day
Hey Lady! You make me giggle
We'll squiggle like honeymooners do
I'm struck by lightnin', it's frightnin'
So excitin', on Independence Day
Uncle Vera, Auntie Ida
Get so excited on Independence Day
Been waiting such a long time
Waiting such a long time
Waiting such a long time
Waiting such a long time
Till Independence Day
Waiting such a long time

Little girls go float upstream
Some a' them never comin' back
We are powerless to stop them
As they vanish from our sight
Little boys dig tunnels
Into the ground they go
Hundreds of them, disappear
Little soldiers on patrol
Singing
Don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Underneath the floorboards
In between the walls
Ev'rywhere there's filled with children
Say good-bye to boys and girls
"We promise to be better"
Said the folks at home
"But it really doesn't matter"
Said their daughters and their sons
Singing
Don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Free from greed and hunger
Free from hate and war
Thousands of them altogether
We are here and
There they are
Singing
Don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want

No we don't want

No we don't want

No we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Gone away
Someone else son's gone
What a day
For dreaming
Hard hurt heart
The holds the door
Buried in time
In hallways bleeding
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
Who's that girl
Who like to dance all day?
Beauty is always so strange
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
Any day
When soldiers come
Women pray
I lie here
There's a flame
Whose light still shines
Leading us on
Through fields and bridges
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
I've seen grasses grow
Through rock and stone
Nature is always so strange
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
One man throwing questions
To the stars
Is there anyone there?
Carnival girl
Where do those eyes come from?
What is inside there?
So far away
Carnival girl
Where do our lives come from?
She'll keep on dancing
I ain't gonna work here no more
I ain't gonna work here no more
Honey, come and dance with me
'Cause I ain't gonna work here no more
I feel like I'm walkin' on air
I feel like I'm walkin' on air
I can see your house from here
And I feel like I'm walkin' on air
Oh - Oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
You can't tell a man by his clothes
You can't tell a man by his clothes
A toad is a prince in someone's eyes
And you can't tell a man by his clothes
The stars gonna fall from the sky
The stars gonna fall from the sky
This time I think they've gone too far
And the stars gonna fall from the sky
Oh - Oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
Oh - Oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gon' be treated this way
Some sunny day
I been waitin' so long
Gonna walk right on outa here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
We must have been out of our minds
We must have been out of our minds
Your own back side will let you down
And we must have been out of our minds
Oh - Oh
A million miles away from here
And we must have been out of our minds
Oh - Oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
A million miles away from here
Peace on earth, soon we will be
Where nothing worries us
Lazy days, cool is the breeze
Across the universe
Armies of soldiers are sleeping tonight
And moonlight is kissing their eyes
When you awake you will be free
I'll be your lullaby
Alcohol, no need to feel
Rest in these fuzzy arms
Ease on down, amnesia
Baby's on valium
Keep us from danger and safe from all harm
From the wind and the rain and the fire
When you awake you will be free
I'll be your lullaby
When you awake you will be free
The words of love are not enough
Though sweet as wine, as thick as blood
Passionless moments and we are homeless
Out on the street
But life is cool and things aren't bad
Got what he wants, lost what he had
He's soon adjusted and got accustomed to these new ways
Blame God, how can you loose
Singing such sweet rhythm and blues
Strange days, she said to me
Being in love don't mean you're free
But night reveals what daytime hides
Who lingers on, who sleeps outside
The soft seduction, the strong attraction
Somewhere downtown
A junkie's song, a dancer's knees
The laws of chance strange as it seems
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be
A junkie's song, a dancer's knees
The laws of chance strange as it seems
Some men desire a princess
And others lust for a temptress
Well I don't need one of those
'cause, my love is you
My love is you
Some men replace their mamas
And some want a young baiana
I have no use for those
'cause, my love is you
My love is you
Sometimes dear
You tell me I'm an asshole
Sometimes you're an asshole too
Even though we're filled with imperfections
I don't think any less of you
I'm primitive and selfish
I'm childlike and I'm helpless
Well I got that way because of
My love for you
My love is you
'You may think I look sad
But I am just sleeping
It's my facial expression
I'm probably dreaming
Would you like to be sad?
Would you like me to teach you?
Well, you can learn to be sad
But you must practice like I do
Na na na, na na na na ...
You must follow directions
And learn it right from the start
There isn't a short cut
It must come from your heart
Well there are those who are happy
And there are those who are wise
But it's the truly sad people
Who get the most out of life
Na na na, na na na na ...
You may think I look sad
But I am just sleeping
It's my facial expression
Momma she had complications
There's nothing very strange about that
Nuns said "We can't kill that baby
We'll have to let your mother die"
We are all just lilies of the valley
We neither reap nor sow
We need to get our hands a little dirty
To make our gardens grow, hey hey
Way too many people on this island
Getting way too crowded on this boat
Need someone to bail some water
If we're gonna keep this thing afloat
I like a little sugar in my coffee
I don't mean Sweet 'n' Low
You don't know what you want until you find it
I believe you'll tell me so
I need a little water in my garden
I need a little sunlight on my head
I need someone to cover me with kisses
When I'm all alone and scared
We are all just lilies of the valley
We neither reap nor sow
We need to get our hands a little dirty
To make our gardens grow
I like a little sugar in my coffee
I don't mean Sweet 'n' Low
I - like to cover me with kisses
And in the land where I grew up
Into the bosom of technology
I kept my feelings to myself
Until the perfect moment comes
Then into your bloodstream I will go
Until I turn into a part of you
Flooding the garden of delights
That was a long long time ago
That was a long long time ago
It's not the ending of the world
It's only the closing of a discotheque
I used to go three times a week
But that was a long long time ago
Yeah, that was a long long time ago
And that roaring that you hear
Is only the blood that circles constantly
No it is not applause my dear
No, that was a long long time ago
That was a long long time ago
Ooh, oh ooh
In between stations I can hear
A million possibilities
It's only the singing of the stars
That burned out a long long time ago
They burned out a long long time ago
Lord, I been such a bad boy
I been disobedient
I made mistakes
I made blunders
That's true of thousands and thousands of people
Little children don't mean anything!
It's dope; and liquor
I tell ya... unsaved people don't have any means of deliverance
When time is tight. Huh? You can use it. Uh-huh.
Gonna break this up. What? Before we lose it. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
We just let things slide. All the way home.
Over all these years. And nothing was done.
Turn over once.
Turn over twice.
And now the clock has stopped
For me and for you
I'm not afraid
Of bursting at the seams
And there's nothing that we can do.
Gotta check these out (right) He don't like it Uh-huh.
Got an empty head (huh?) And she can't stand it. Uh-huh uh-huh
We just let things slide. All the way home.
Over all these years. And nothing was done.
Get a hold of his hands
Hold of this legs
Hold on curly top
Hold over blue
Dragged through the dust
What do I care?
Well it ain't my fault
My fault that things gone wrong
And it ain't my fault,
Some things are sticking out.
My big hands
Keep my big hand to myself.
Tip toe too
Tip toe around the house
Come, Come on in
It's not, it's not like that
Down, down we go
Fall through, fall through the cracks.
Well I help myself
Help myself to what I want.
Side by side
Get stupid in the dark.
Didn't get home
Things broke down
No sense
Not at all.
Come, Come on in
It's not, it's not like that
Down, down we go
Think you've had enough-
Stop talking, help us get ready
Think you've had enough-
Big business, after the shakeup
Think you've had enough-
Stop talking, help us get ready
And you think you've had enough
Big business, after the shakeup
Get ready get ready
Stop talking, help us get ready
You're looking at me but you can't see me
I'm invisible to the naked eye
I'm a part of everything you're doing
I'm a part of you down deep inside
I'm the part that sings those gooffy love songs
I'm the part of you you can't control
I'm the part that fucked up your promotion
I'm the part that hurts when you're alone
On this beautiful night by the bright disco light
We will dance till the pain is all gone
If love is alive why can't I touch it?
Does it feel like Jell-O or a fire?
I can tell by the taste it was not poison
But it sure did mess up my insides
There's nothing else like you on my planet
You see me now in my true form
I did not come here in a spaceship
I came the moment you were born
On this beautiful night by the bright disco light
Rose is tattooed in a perfect place
She bears the burden of a pretty face
The monkey boy, the leopard girl
The strange is also beautiful
It's summer time and the grass is high
Fuzzy freaky, funny family
It's my body and I'll eat it too
To do whatever touches you
My body speaks, my tongue cannot
My belly rumbles but the words are stuck
So come out
It's summer time and the weeds are high
Fuzzy freaky, funny family
All amplified, she's scandalized
And I'm changing size
Who was it?, jump on it
He's talking trash, and he can't get back
But he's meant to last
Inspired, desired
I'm walking low, my grass has grown
And I won't stay down
Excited, delighted
I'm awfully cute, I'm awfully cold
I'm sometimes rich and I'm sometimes poor
A butterfly when I graduate
You'll have to stop me if I get too big
Stop me
It's summer time and the weeds are high
Fuzzy funny, freaky family
He's in reverse, he'll kiss himself
In perfect health
Inflated, x-rated
And I smell you now
In a haunted house
In a squeaky sound
Inspired, desired
Now I'm wide enough
And I'm almost grown
And I won't stay down
Somebody, somebody
Inspired, desired
She had psychic defenses
He had animal dreams
They moved closer together
He said "Lets make a deal"
Does not the law forbid it?
It's a treacherous act
We all must suffer
We all must do our part
No one knows how it started
And God knows how it'll end
The fightin' continues
Women versus Men
Women have their world
And men, we have ours
We're into sports
And they're into flowers
The women are talking
We do not understand
They speak in a language
We do not comprehend
No one knows how it started
And God knows how it'll end
The fightin' continues
Women versus Men
Fightin' in the parkin' lots
Is this what nature intends?
Armies of ladies
Fightin' armies of men
So remember be careful
Should one cross your path
One innocent movement
And it could be your last
No one knows how it started
And God knows how it'll end
The fightin' continues
Women versus Men
No one knows how it started
And God knows how it'll end
The fightin' continues
Women versus Men
Women versus Men
Women versus Men
Now Washington, DC's
A funny little town
The further you look into it
The further things stick out
You oughta be ashamed
You oughta be destroyed
I'll chop you into little bits
And feed you to my dogs
Well well well well well
What have we got here?
What have we got now?
Hey hey hey hey hey
Twistin' in the wind
Twistin' all night long
Now can you picture this?
A taste of what will be
The weatherman is wrong again
It looks like rain to me
I heard the whistle blow
The train has jumped the track
The mighty engine's outa gas
Bureaucratic heart attack
My sister likes the boys
They kinda like her, too
My mama says, "Be careful"
Sister says, "Now, that ain't cool"
My daddy fell in love
Down at the factory
And me, I like to sit around
Get high, and watch TV
Well well well well well
What have we got here?
What have we got now?
Hey hey hey hey hey
Twistin' in the wind
Twistin' all night long
Now I can take a joke
I'm laughin' at myself
I faked my way through college
And I faked my way through sex
I've been falling down too long
I've been bangin' up my head
And if I could stay on my feet
I'd prob'ly go right back again
Now Harry's got a gun
And he just turned fourteen
He dresses like a gangster
And he's livin' on the street
They kicked him in the balls
They shaved off all his hair
They put a current through his head
And left him lyin' there
Well well well well well
What have we got here?
What have we got now?
Hey hey hey hey hey
Twistin' in the wind
Twistin' all night long
They say that crime don't pay
The judge does not agree
'Cause if you got the money
He will surely set you free
I'll watch you burn in hell
I'll see you in your grave
I'd like to watch you suffer for
The evil that you made
Hi-dee hi-dee ho
What a funny clown
The fat man he fell off the wall
And he can't get up again
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodnight
Whoever is the last one out
She was just a blue eyed Boston girl
Her voice was low with pain
I'll do your bidding comrade mine
If I ride back again
But if you ride back and I am dead
You'll do as much for me
Mother, you know, must hear the news
So write her tenderly
She's awaiting at home like a patient saint
Her fallen face paled with woe
Her heart would be broken when I am gone
I'll see her soon, I know
Just then the order came to charge
For an instant hand touched hand
They said, aye and away they rode
That brave and devoted band
Straight was the course to the top of the hill
And the rebels they shot and shelled
Plowed furrows of death through the toiling ranks
And guarded them as they fell
There soon was a horrible dying yell
From heights that they could not gain
And those who doom and death had spared
Rode slowly back again
But among the dead that were left on the hill
Was the girl with the curly hair
The tall dark man who'd fought by her side
Lay dead beside her there
There was was no one to write the green-eyed girl
The words that her lover had said
While mother at home is awaiting her girl
She'll only know she is dead
She'll only know she's dead
She put the scar on the side of his face
When he disappeared for three days
And they say that they are in love
He took her cocaine when she was asleep
Friends say he gave half away
And they say that they are in love
Run away, run away
Run away, before it's too late
There is danger but they will not see
If they're blind then it's blind that they'd rather be
This town's destroyed more than one friend of mine
Funny, they never leave
They say that they are in love
Some say it's rotten, some say it's wrong
Some say it's hard to believe
And some say that they are in love
Move away, move away
Move away before it's too late
Then the lion sleeps with the lamb
Only love let's me forget who I really am
This land is small, it's cold and it's damp
There's no place that I'd rather be
I know that I am in love
Ethnic divisions, screaming demands
A little bit like you and me
I guess that we are in love
Stay away, stay away
Stay away, you might end up like me
It's the pain that keeps us alive
But that beauty is all that we need to survive
I can't find my way around this table
And I can't find my way around your face
And I can't find my way around your body
And wasted days turn into wasted nights
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now now now now now now!
Lookit me now!
The future isn't quite what you imagined
Ev'rything you valued has been sold
And ev'ry heart that takes a chance is broken
Now I don't see you laughin' at us no more
Hey look at you now!
Hey look at you now!
Hey look at you now now now now now now!
Look at you now!
Green grass grows around the backyard shithouse
And that is where the sweetest flowers bloom
We are flowers growin' in God's garden
And that is why he spreads the shit around
Hey look at us now!
Hey look at us now!
Hey look at us now now now now now now!
Look at us now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now now now now now now!
A bird who tries to fly higher
Flies into the blue
A lady who strives to rise higher
She wears a high heel shoe
Como un pŠ[aro que vuela
Vuela alto al ciela azul
La mujer por m‹± que suba
Nunca lo puede alcanzar
Nunca lo puede alcanzar
Nunca lo puede alcanzar
Two mountains loved one another
For a million years
Let the river pull you under
Take your fingers outta your ears
What made Mona Lisa smile?
Es una sonrisa eterna
Learn not to run when you hear it call
La cual no puedes cambiar
It is not a lullabye
Su cantar es diferente
And the call of the wild is not a difficult song
Con su tonada bestial
No the call of the wild is not a difficult song
Con su tonada bestial
Es un eco en las montaæls
Que rebota sin cesar
Y abajo cruza el rio
Que elimina el mal pensar
Que elimina el mal pensar
Que elimina el mal pensar
Que elimina el mal pensar
Albert Einstein wrote equations
Como un pŠ[aro que vuela
God told Noah "Build an ark"
Vuela alto al cielo azul
Johnny Mathis sings Cole Porter
La mujer por m‹± que suba
To bring light into the dark
Nunca lo puede alcanzar
What made Mona Lisa smile?
Es una sonrisa eterna
Learn not to run when you hear it call
La cual no puedes cambiar
It is not a lullabye
Su cantar es diferente
And the call of the wild is not a difficult song
Con su tonada bestial
No the call of the wild is not a difficult song
Con su tonada bestial
Es el cantar de la selva
Con un ruido muy bestial
Es un eco de salvaje
Que se puede dominar
Que se puede dominar
Que se puede dominar
And the call of the wild is not a difficult song
Que se puede dominar
The call of the wild is not a difficult song
Que se puede dominar
And the call of the wild is not a difficult song
Que se puede dominar
The call of the wild is not a difficult song
Que se puede dominar
Ungar?ungara
Que se puede dominar

I saw a princess, she's riding the IRT
She raised her eyes and I thought that she looked at me
In a disco I thought that I'd seen her before
She got married, and now she don't dance no more
She knew the doorman at every club in town
She'd go out dancing and stay out 'til early dawn
When they'd start throwing down, she would clear the floor
She got married and now she don't dance no more
The lights go out, the train is dark
Nobody moves, nobody talks...
She keeps her body well-hidden beneath her clothes
Where will we go when the club's all closed?
In comes a business man, and he pretends not to see
That there's a princess, and she's riding the IRT
In comes a homeless man, she gives some money to him
Now she gets off, must be the end of the line
Ooooooh-ho-ho, she's looking back at me
Ooooooh-ho-ho, I thought she didn't see
Ooooooh-ho-ho, we used to walk that walk
I can see an office cowboy
How he turns and smiles, watching the girls go by
(Ride'em cowboy)
He knows how to ride a pony
If laughter makes you well, what if the well runs dry?
(Ride'em cowboy)
Batom - a bala bate no meu coraÕyo
Dentes espalhados pelo ch¾q
Natural
E a vezes social
All night long, the Great Pretender
Sat upon his throne
Nothing can stop him now
(Vai la cou boi)
V¾q suadas, ammarrotadas
Nota de dez, nota de vinte vai
(Noite cai)
Hey now! It was a little taste of paradise
Always riding in the circle line
This poor cowboy's always on the run
Coyotes howling at the moon
Cowboys are singing out this lonesome tune
Duas selas, dois de raÉ—
Dois irm¾qs e dois urubus
(Sobra um)
N¾q e
It's just enough to whet my appetite
And every cowboy needs to take a bite
Capo d'agua
Que caiu no ch¾q
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
'Tou roubando m‹± n¾q sou ladr¾q

Ev'ryone's a cowboy in this town

Ev'ryone's a cowboy in this town
It's all right
It's all right
Somebody, somebody's gettin' outa bed
Somebody, somebody's gettin' herself dressed
Somebody, somebody combin' back her hair
Somebody, somebody dancin' down the stairs
And on the TV and in magazines
She sees the people she would like to be
Somebody, somebody steals away her dreams
Somebody, somebody - race is all they see
Somebody, somebody takes away her pride
Somebody, somebody don't know wrong from right
Now they have taken everything she owns
How did she ever get this far from home?
See how we are
There ain't no four-leaf clover
In the blink of an eye
Ev'rything changes
We gotta start all over
Down in that deep muddy river (so long ago)
Blood is much thicker than water (the angels know)
Love is the ocean we swim in (so long ago)
Carry us to our beginning (the angels know)
Somebody, somebody takes away our name
Somebody, somebody tell me who I am
Somebody, somebody testify for love
Somebody, somebody where are you tonight?
Down in that deep muddy river (so long ago)
Blood is much thicker than water (the angels know)
She hears a voice sweetly singing (so long ago)
When I hear, laying on the ground
A machine gun is sitting on my couch
I close my eyes
I shut my mouth
Well, I can't even hear a sound
I don't know if I'm ready for this world
I'm not ready for this world
I knew a girl, it did not last for long
She said she changed, she said I, I was not yet grown
Well, I went back
I had to see
But another boy had replaced me
I see I'm not ready for this world
I'm not ready for this world
Watched my grandmom get drunk one night
We watched TV, it was black and white
She said, boy, why don't you trust no one?
Your own behind never let you down
I bought a gun, but it's just for self-defense
Mmm, I seen this world, it don't make any sense
No more heartache, no more pain
Now, no one's hurting me again
I'm just getting ready for this world
I'm getting ready for this world
When I hear, laying on the ground
A machine gun is sitting on my couch
I close my eyes
I shut my mouth
Well,I can't even hear a sound
I don't know, I guess now I'm ready for this world
Yeah, I'm ready for this world
I love America, her secret's safe with me
And I know her wicked ways
The parts you never see
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although you have a reputation
Can I afford to move above my station
I'm not the only heart you've conquered
And I love America, but boy can she be cruel
And I know how tall she is
Without her platform shoes
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don't run away, oh don't you recognize me
I'm not the only heart you've conquered
And I kissed America, when she was fleecing me
She knows I understand that she needs to be free
And I miss America and sometimes she does too
And sometimes I think of her
When she is fucking you
I love America
Yo siempre he confiado en ti [=I have always trusted you]
I love America
Por que me tratas asi? [=Why do you treat me like this?]
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although your pants are round your ankles
And when you're down, I'll be your Dirty Harry
It will be just like in the movies
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don't look away, I'll be your teenage fanclub
I know sometimes I can be wrong
I know sometimes I do believe
I know sometimes I can be wrong
I'll be wrong until you're next to me
I'll be wrong until you're next to me
I know sometimes the world is wrong
I know sometimes I do believe
I know sometimes the world is wrong
They'll be wrong until you're next to me
for millions of years, in millions of homes
a man loved a woman a child it was born
it lent out to her and it lent out to cry
like humans do

like humans do
It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream
And you know I don't care if things are not what they seem
Making up stories that you know aren't true
But you know it's all right 'cause I know it too
Who is the lady with the sno-cone eyes?
Who has the candy with the soft insides?
Talk show religion and
Soap opera love
Whatever happened to
Heavens above?
Well you can lie to me
And I imagine you do
If nothin's right
What's wrong?
That what I like about you
That what I like about you
Birds are flying from east to west
Dogs are running a political race
Twinkle Twinkle
Little Star
How I wonder
Who you are
Well you can lie to me
And I imagine you do
If nothin's right
What's wrong?
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream
And you know I don't care if things are not what they seem
I wanna be happy, I can't stand the pain
I wanna believe, so tell me again
I'm like a chicken without a head
I'd like to fly, but I walk instead
Emotional junkies
How blind we must be
I'm just a fool for your
Las Vegas tears
Well you can lie to me
And I imagine you do
If nothin's right
What's wrong?
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
The dimming of the light makes the picture clearer
It’s just an old photograph, there’s nothing to hide
When the world was just beginning.
I memorized her face so it’s not forgotten
I hear the wind whistle in, come back anytime
And we’ll mix our lives together
Heaven knows, what keeps mankind alive
Every hand goes searching for its partner in crime
Under chairs and behind tables
Connecting to places we have known
I’m looking for a home, where the wheels are turning
Home, why I keep returning
Home, where my world Is breaking in two.
Home, with the neighbors fighting
Home, always so exciting
Home, were my parents telling the truth?
Home, such a body feeling
Home, no one ever speaking
Home, with our bodies touching
Home, and the cameras watching
Home, will infect whatever you do
Where home, comes to life from out of the blue
Tiny little box from a beach at sunset
I took a drink from a jar and into my head
Familiar smells and flavours
Vehicles are stuck on the plains of heaven
I’ve seen their wheels spinnin round
And everywhere I can hear those people saying
That the eye is the measure of the man
You can fly from the stuff that spills around you
We’re home and the band keeps marching on
Connecting to every living sole
Well, there are sixteen people in Danny's apartment
Sixteen people are living in there
Remember the days of rent control
Grandpa remembers rock and roll
These days won't last forever
These days won't last for long
You know, somebody somewhere owes us a favor
That's how things really get done
In this World of Opportunities, it's a Land of Possibilities
We wanna live in a dirty old town
Building it up, tearing us down
With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground
We wanna live - dirty old town
Dirty old town
Now when the ladies come from Kansas
They wear their traditional colors
Today the fabrics are ragged and torn
The clothes on their backs is all that they own
They say, "Don't draw attention to yourself
They'll tear you apart for a couple of bucks
Keep you head down and keep you nose clean
'Cause people who're scared do dangerous things"
These days can't last forever
These days can't last for long
You know someday things'll get better
Somehow things'll get done
In this World of Possibilities, it's the Land of Opportunities
We wanna live in a dirty old town
Building it up, tearing us down
With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground
We wanna live - dirty old town
Dirty old town
These days shoes are worn only on special occasions
Battles are fought for fam'ly and nations
Maybe you'll pray, but God isn't home
And there's no guarantee that justice be done
We wanna live in a dirty old town
Building it up, tearing us down
With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground
We wanna live - dirty old town
Now, I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn
To send a little money home from here to the moon
Is risin' like a discotheque
And now my bags are down and packed for traveling
Lookin' at happiness, keepin' my flavor fresh
Nobody knows I guess, how far I'll go, I know
So I'm leavin' at six O' clock, meet in a parkin' lot
Harriet Hendershot, sunglasses on, she waits by this
Glass and concrete and stone
It is just a house, not a home
Skin that covers me from head to toe
Except a couple tiny holes and openings
Where the city's blowin' in and out
And this is what it's all about, delightfully
Everything's possible when you're an animal
Not inconceivable, how things can change, I know
So I'm puttin' on aftershave, nothing is out of place
Gonna be on my way, try to pretend, it's not only
Glass and concrete and stone
And it's just a house, not a home
And it's glass and concrete and stone
It is just a house, not a home
And my head is fifty feet high
Runnin' naked, down the state highway
Runnin' naked, in the middle of the day
Runnin' naked like a tom cat's behind
Runnin' naked but the cat don't seem to mind
Give me your heart
I'll give you mine first
Give me your time
And I'll give you my trust
And we're buck naked now
Like when we were born
When will we find out?
And why does it take so long?
And we're buck naked now
And we're buck naked now
And we're buck naked now
In the eyes of the Lord
Runnin' naked like the day when I was born
We're all naked in the land where I come from
I'm a long long way from New York City now
We're all naked - if you turn us inside out
And we're buck naked now
We ain't got no clothes
Bare assed for sure
In the eyes of God
Naked in my heart
Naked in my soul
Well, how, how does it feel?
Does anybody know?
Well we're naked inside
You're naked too
Well there's nothing to fear
And there's nothing we can do
Well we're buck naked now
Buck naked now
Well we're buck naked now
The sun sinks low in the western lands
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
And a woman's heart is like the wind
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
And he could not put her from his mind
And love is strong and it will not die
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
Protect me now from what I am
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
For I'm in too deep and I cannot swim
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
And he cursed his hands and he cursed his tongue
For what he'd said, for what he'd done
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
Love, love, love's obsession
What keeps a man alive
By some strange possession
I stay safe inside
My heart's on probation
It was my first time
This world, world of wonders
Stick your head outside
Now the ass can speak but he don't say much
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
His words of wisdom, come but once
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
So build your house on solid ground
And stay indoors when the rain comes down
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
I'm tired of good-byes and burials
Friends I have known
Some I just met
Standing around
It's hard to forget - now isn't it?
The war started in Bethlehem
A quarrel between holy men
Rocket's red glare
Night without end
Burning my eyes
It's hard to forget - now isn't it?
And if our cells are our destiny
I want to be free of biology
You are my friend
But I hurt you, too
It is not what
I intended to do
I saw my love by the restaurant
Diggin' for home fries in a garbage can
Ice cream and cake
Sweetness and light
A bottle of wine
There is nothing that is stronger than the feeling that you get
When your eyes are wide open
There is nothing like the feeling, you can never forget
When your eyes are wide open
Daytime was a feeling but it's not over yet
Are my eyes still open?
We come a long long distance and we're never goin' back
Got my eyes wide open
I got both doors open
I got both doors open
I got the back door open
I got the screen door open.
In another time
In another place
There's a train running through
Right through the middle of the house
Have I been dreaming, or have I been sick?
Are my eyes wide open?
Do I do it like that, or do I do it like this?
Are my eyes wide open?
Wearing' out the carpet doin' tricks with her hands
She's got her eyes wide open?
Think about this, "Well I already have."
I got both doors open
I got both doors open
I got the back door open
I got the screen door open.
Oh I don't understand
Oh it's not just a sound
Oh I don't understand
It doesn't matter at all
See the little girl with the eyes rolled back in her head
She got a complication but she knows it'll work out fine
Naked as a baby, talking 'bout the feeling she gets
In another time, in another place
I got both doors open
I got both doors open
I got the back door open
I got the screen door open.
Oh I don't understand
Oh it's not just a sound
Oh I don't understand
The western lands, day turns to night
Immaterial play of light
It's very nice out here
I poked my hand in a hornet's nest
They flew out all around my face
I guess it's just self defense
The camera pans, the focus shifts
The world is a hornet's nest
I learned my lesson well
I surf the net and watched TV
There's peace in the Middle East
There are no angels left in America anymore
They left after the Second World War heading west
Stopping briefly in Japan during the 60's
Then in Tianamen Square during the last decade
They kept heading west to who knows where
What are they after?
What are they looking for?
A messiah who never comes?
A virgin birth?
A perfect drug?
A sign, any kind of sign?
Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary
Flying over fields and factories
Momma's going off her head
Daddy's bringing home the bacon
Open up the pearly gates
Fruit of salty lubrication
Tangled up in arms and legs
I can barely touch the bottom
Now I'm working up a sweat!
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I can barely touch my own self
How could I touch someone else?
I am just an advertisement
For a version of myself
Like molecules in constant motion
Like a million nervous tics
I am quivering in anticipation
Like the sunlight on their wings
I'm ready now (don't look back)
I'm ready now (I'm ready for this)
I'm ready now
The sensuous world - the smell of the sea
The sweat off their wings - the fruit from the trees
The angel inside - who will meet me tonight
On wings of desire - I come back alive
I'm ready
I'm ready (I put the dogs outside)
I'm ready
I'm ready (to take that ride)
I'm ready now
I'm ready now (to take that wine)
Wicked little doll, lovely to look at
Wicked little doll, charming to hold
Wicked little doll, you are not human
Wicked little doll, you have no soul
Wicked little doll, I'm not your victim
Wicked little doll, you need me too
Wicked little doll, I'll be your partner
Wicked little doll, can I play too?
Wicked little doll, collapsing beauties
Wicked little doll, cities in flames
Wicked little doll, devil or angel?
Wicked little doll, they're both the same
Wicked little doll, we're chained together
Wicked little doll, I'm just like you
Wicked little doll, it's human nature
Anyone can see you love me too
??? Those guys, some of these guys
??? We're one big happy family
??? ...
??? I love my little dolly
??? ... I surrender
Wicked little doll, your perfect body
Anyone can see you're never wrong
And isn't it a world worth taking over?
There's a little doll in everyone
Make a little love, some parts are missing
Any little song that has will do
Wicked little doll, you speak my language
Now I'll always be in love with you
You and I - may kill ourselves
You and I - go straight to hell
Where they have barbeque and beer
Better than they do up here
And you know all the words to the songs
Yeah - we smoke cigarettes
We dance with the dead
They're soft to the touch
We drink way too much
And darling, I think you'll like it here
You might like it here
You and I - we ain't no saints
You and I - we can see our fates
We'll be the faces in the clouds
We'll be a gospel singer's shout
We'll be the lights from an airplane at night
Hey yeah - I can't stay in my skin
I bin in here too long
But I know where to find, a really good time
And darlin' I think you'll like it here
You might like it here
I'm gonna fall in love
With ev'ryone I meet
And ev'ryone I see
And ev'rything I touch
And ev'rything I feel
Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be?
I'm the look upon your face
The water on your lawn
The light from distant stars
The wreckage of a plane
The space between your teeth
The itch you cannot scratch
The mentally unfit
The pimple on your lip
Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
I'm the ice cubes in your glass
A busted cadillac
A garden of delight
A joker in your deck
Well it ain't in what I feel
No, it ain't in what I say
In the pleasure of a kiss
It never fades away
Isn't that the way (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
It's supposed to be? (Isn't that the way)
What A Day That Was
Well, I'm dressed up so nice
An' I'm doin' my best
Yes I'm startin' over..
Startin' over in another place
Lemme tell you a story
Big chief with a golden crown
He's got rings on his fingers
And then he walks up, up to the throne
He's makin' shapes with his hands
An' don't you dare sit down
Now don't you dare sit back
And don't you dare speak up!
And on the first day, we had everything we could
hold
Ooh and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left
to do
Ooh what a day that was.
There are 50,000 beggars
Roaming in the streets
They have lost all their possessions
They have nothing left to eat
Down come the bolts of lightning
Now an electrical storm
Starts a chain reaction
Go pull a fire alarm
I'm dreaming of a city
It was my own invention
And I put the wheels in motion
A time for big decisions
And on the first day, we had everything we could
hold
Ooh and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left
to do
Ooh what a day that was.
Oh a day that was
Ooh that's the way it goes
There's a million ways- to get things done
Three's a million ways- to make things work out.
Well I'm going right through
And the light came down
Well they're roundin' 'em up
from all over town
They're movin' forward and back
They're movin' backwards and front
And they're enjoying themselves
Moving in ev'ry direction
So if you feel like you're in a whirlpool
You feel like going home
And if you feel like talking to someone
Who knows the difference between right and wrong
And on the first day, we had everything we could
hold
Ooh and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left
to do
Ooh what a day that was.
We're go(in') boom boom boom That's the way we live
Do you recognize this David Byrne song that starts:
Life floats down the river on a red raft of blood.
Night blocked out the heavens like a big black shiny bug,
Its hard soft shell shining.......
It's a hard place that I'm living, but I guess I'm doing well.
It is cut 17 on a boot I just traded for
Cut 19 is another song I don't recognize:
It may be called "It Goes Back"
It mentions the Three Stooges, the Marx Brothers, Krazy Kat, Laurel and Hardy,
Count Dracula, the golem, Clark Gable, Lamont Cranston, Popeye the Sailor, etc.
