In finance, mezzanine capital is any subordinated debt or preferred equity instrument that represents a claim on a company's assets which is senior only to that of the common shares. Mezzanine financings can be structured either as debt (typically an unsecured and subordinated note) or preferred stock.
Mezzanine capital is often a more expensive financing source for a company than secured debt or senior debt. The higher cost of capital associated with mezzanine financings is the result of its being an unsecured, subordinated (or junior) obligation in a company's capital structure (i.e., in the event of default, the mezzanine financing is only repaid after all senior obligations have been satisfied). Additionally, mezzanine financings, which are usually private placements, are often used by smaller companies and may involve greater overall levels of leverage than issues in the high-yield market; they thus involve additional risk. In compensation for the increased risk, mezzanine debt holders require a higher return for their investment than secured or more senior lenders.

Genres: Drama,"I read a lot of books, mostly nonfiction. And I don't watch a lot of TV,
but I like my Seattle sports teams. I've also seen the Cirque du Soleil
perform a bunch of times. There are lines in this song about a lot of
those things I've read about or seen. It's like, "God, I wish I could
have been there. I wish I could have done that." These are things I
think everybody wishes, in some form -- they wish they could be there." -Duff
I wanna be the worlds best lover
I wanna be on every cover
I wanna be the flying man in the Cirque du Soliel
But I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be
I wanna be like Serpico, or a freedom fighter
Down in Mexico, a black man in the fifties south,
See what fake white freedom was all about
I wanna `recon' in vietnam, shoot a ball like
Gary Payton, I wanna talk to Jesus Christ,
a-bomb the extreme right
But i'm me, and that's all I'll ever be.
And I see there are some things I don't need
(chorus)
If it was up to me, I'd be those things and
So much more
If it was me, I'd talk to God and kick
down every door
I really wanna save the planet, end all wars
and destructive habits, I wanna raise hell
with the c.d.c, see if all is being done about
that fuckin disease, I wanna be like Randy
Johnson, play guitar like Mick Ronson, wanna
set my sights on art collections, give
homeless people a new direction
but I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be
and I see, there's some things I don't need.
(chorus)
Solo
If it was up to me
I'd break down
Let the poor have it all
ban all war, if you please and end disease
