Moving Trucks – Bob Mould

8/21/2020 By dni Leave a Comment

Tell me that you’re feeling trapped in this life, thinking of moving away
You say that it’s all for the best, we’ll both be better off that way
My jaw hits the floor as the words sink in
I didn’t know you felt so strongly
Makes me wonder what went wrong

Trust barely drips through the sieve, and I still can’t believe it
Our love fades and drifts away, stand by for the last refrain
The moving trucks are pulling up in our front yard

So this is the way that it feels, I wondered how this might feel
The sound of your voice fades away like an echo in some empty cave

The 411 in my area code has got no listing for me
All my mail sits there in the post box, it seems I’ve lost the key

Coffee, it comes to a boil, the percolator’s making noises
No one left to blame, stand by for the last refrain
I still hear the moving trucks back up in our front yard

Today is the day I forget all about it, it’s over, don’t worry about it
Today I can open the window, today is the day I can fly
Today I am starting the rest of my life, today, I can touch the sky
And I can leave that beeping sound of that truck behind

No moving trucks to hold me down

That Summer Feeling – Jonathan Richman

8/20/2020 By dni Leave a Comment

That summer feeling That summer feeling That summer feeling

When there’s things to do not because you gotta
When you run for love not because you oughtta
When you trust your friends with no reason not ta (nada)
The joy I name shall not be tamed

And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it
When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it
When the teenage car gots the cop down on it
The time is here for one more year

And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

That summer feeling That summer feeling
That summer feeling
If you’ve forgotten what I’m naming
You’re gonna long to reclaim it one day
Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

And if you wait until your older
A sad resentment will smoulder one day
And Then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
And that summer feeling’s gonna taunt you
And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you
One day in your life.

When even fourth grade starts looking good
Which you hated,
And first grade’s looking good too,
Overrated,
And you boys long for some little girl
That you dated
Do you long for her of for the way you were,
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it
When the catamaran has got the drop down on it
When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it
Some things were good before and some things never were
But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

Well when your friends are in town and they’ve got time for you
When you were never hanging around and they don’t ignore you
When you say what you will and they still adore you
Is that not appealing, it’s that summer feeling.
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

It’s gonna haunt you
It’s gonna taunt you
You’re gonna want this feeling inside one more time.
It’s gonna haunt you
It’s gonna taunt you
You’re gonna want this feeling inside one more time.
One more thing…

When you’re hanging around the park with the water fountain
And there’s the little girl with the dirty ankles cuz she’s
On the swings, you know, and all the dust is kicking up
And you remember the ankle locking
And the way she flirted with you
For all this time, how come?
Well that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

You’ll throw away everything for it.
You’ll throw away everything for it.

One more thing…
Well when the playground that just was all dirt
Comes haunting.
And that little girl that called you a flirt
Memory comes taunting
You pick these things apart they’re not that appealing
You put them together and you’ll get this certain feeling
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

It’s gonna haunt you
It’s gonna taunt you
You’re gonna want this feeling inside
One more time.

Tribe – Joyride

8/18/2020 By dni Leave a Comment

I saw the film said that’s the life for me
Forsake the mundane for some instability
So sue me
Now you’re hiding upstairs
And now I’m not so sure
What is all this for?
Haven’t got a lot to say have you have you
Oh you’ve done it now haven’t you haven’t you
How many times I didn’t unfold you
Look at your face I hardly know you
Oh I’m in it now up to eyebrow
Oh I’ve done it now haven’t I
Oh me thinking you’d be my joyride
I’ll be lucky just to survive
I read the book I thought that it meant me
Your feverish vision of exquisite misery
It threw me
Now I’m in free fall
I’m empty as a bottle that you can see through
What am I to do?
I’ve had my fill
I feel that chill
I’m tired
You’re still not home it caught me by surprise
It’s a telltale odor I almost recognize
And I can hardly see
The pupils in your eyes
Now I realize

You learn to play games about once every day or so

3/20/2020 By dni Leave a Comment

I walk through the day
Through the open fields
I walk to my truck
To my truck and drive away
To the road
Through the broken roads, trusty road
I was headed for the road
The road that runs that way

And I, I see the train
The trains don’t run to Brasilia
I walked through the fields
Through the fields to Brasilia
My ticket stub says I’m going
I’m going to Trenton

When my friends stop by
I try to impress them, no buildings over two stories high
Except my house, oh my my, I see
See crossed lattice work made out of brick
I see buildings
With laundry hanging out of the window
Never in my wildest dreams would I think I’d see
Brasilia crossed with Trenton

When you live in the middle of nowhere
Your imagination runs away and wild
You make games, I make games that I play most once a day
I pretend Brasilia turned to Trenton
Brasilia crossed with Trenton

Department store
The only place that I buy clothes anymore
I used to be a big shopper ’round the world
Big credit cards, they don’t matter anymore
‘Cause I can’t pay any money that I owe
To these cards anymore
They don’t take these things down at the bank
They just take money

Imagine yourself in the middle of nowhere
Imagination runs away for a while
I play games about once a day or so
I don’t know, that’s where I’d rather go
Brasilia crossed with Trenton

I wish that I could tell my story
To all the people that listened to my story long ago
I knew that this would happen sooner or later
That I’d get disillusioned with it all
Just throw my hands up to the sky and say
Oh Lord, what happened, what happened
To make things run this way

Imagine yourself in the middle of nowhere
Your imagination runs away for a while
You learn to play games about once every day or so
I walked to Brasilia crossed with Trenton
Brasilia crossed with Trenton

Pixies – Where is My Mind

4/5/2018 By dni Leave a Comment

Ooh, stop
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Way out in the water
See it swimmin’
I was swimmin’ in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin’ to talk to me koi koy
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Way out in the water
See it swimmin’
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Way out in the water
See it swimmin’
Ooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooh
Ooh
