I REMEMBER PHOTOGRAPHS
WATERCOLORS OF THE PAST
HE TURNED & SAID – YOU ASK MUCH OF ME
THEN, WHEN WE’D MADE OUR PEACE
WE LAY BETWEEN THE SHEETS
HE TURNED & SAID – I SET YOU FREE
GO ON, BE A HERO, BE A PHOTOGRAPH
MAKE YOUR OWN MYTHS
CHRIST, I HOPE THEY LAST
LONGER THAN MINE
WIDER THAN THE SKY
WE MEASURE TIME BY
GO ON, BE A HERO, I SET YOU FREE
YOUR STAGEHAND LOVERS HAVE CONQUERED ME
THEY’LL SEND YOU CARNATIONS
WHILE SMILING FACES LOOK ON AND APPLAUD
GO ON, GO ON, GO ‘WAY FROM ME
I SAID – DO YOU WISH ME DEAD
LIP SERVICE TO BOOKS YOU’VE READ
ARTICLES ON HOW TO BED A BIRD IN FLIGHT
YOU CALLED IT LOVE
I CALLED IT GREED
YOU SAY – YOU TAKE WHAT YOU WANT
I SAY – YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED
GO ON, BE A HERO, BE A MAN
MAKE YOUR OWN DESTINY IF YOU CAN
GO FIND A FENCE, LOCATE A SHELL
AND HIDE YOURSELF
GO ON, GO TO HELL, GO AWAY FROM ME
I NEED NO CHARITY
HE SAID – COME UNTO ME, I AM BEAUTY, I AM THE LIGHT
COME UNTO ME. HOLD THE DARKNESS AND STAY THE NIGHT
FOR I AM WONDER, I AM THE HEART’S DELIGHT
TOMORROW WE’LL FIGHT
COME ON COME ON, COME NEAR TO ME
COME BE MY FANTASY
WE’LL TALK IT OVER AGAIN SOMETIME
I’LL SEND YOU SOME FLOWERS
AND CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT FOR TONIGHT, TURN OUT THE LIGHT
HOLD ME – COME ON, COME ON
AND SET ME FREE
COME BE MY FANTASY
silent all this time and this is what we get? lyrics? pah!

oh yeah?
and where is your much promised (and anticipated) video? your hamster story just doesn’t cut it, buster. 😉 it is sept 1 (fuck! where’d my life go, dammit. i think the hamsters ran with it up that fucking wheel. it’s not the man behind the current, it’s the rodent behind the man. damn marble-eyed little beasts, i know they had something over us all along … with their conspriatory squeeks and … they always pee when i pick them up what the fuck is that shit? i feed them and give them hamster sawdust and all they give me is piss! … what the heck am i doing with a hamster anyway … *walks away still muttering as usual*)
Re: oh yeah?
i know. i’m so pissed at myself. one lousy shot i have to replace.
Re: oh ye of little research desire
why should i research when i can have you do it for me?
good pitch
because you want the joy/satisfaction/personal enrichment/once-in-a-lifetime experience/kodak moment/priceless memory/kiss-my-ass opportunity of doing it on your own? hmmmmmmmm …..
Re: good pitch
well, as tempting as that sounds…i think it worked out okay.
