Just click on the red title, turn up the volume, and play - that's how. (eye-roll) This one works, Poppet; I can play it without problem.
from Dried Up Tied Up And Dead To The World ~ Marliyn Manson (from House of Wax Soundtrack)
You cut off all of your fingers Trade them in for dollar bills Cake on some more make-up to Cover up all those lines Wake up and stop shaking Don't you want some of this? Don't you need some of this? You take but cannot be given You ride but cannot be ridden Pinch this tiny heart of mine Wrap it up in soiled twine....
Psst, Poppet.....bring earplugs.

They buried her there in the old churchyard They buried him beside her And on his grave grew a red, red ROSE And on her grave, a briar
They grew and they grew in the old churchyard Till they could not grow any higher They leaped and they TWINEd in a true lover's knot The rose around the briar

Red Is The Rose trad. Irish
Redis the rose that in yonder garden grows Fair is the lily of the valley Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne But my love is fairer than any. Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass Come over the hills to your darling You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow And I'll be your true love forever.
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed When the moon and the stars they were shining The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair And she swore she'd be my love forever.
Chorus
It's not for the parting that my sister pains It's not for the grief of my mother 'Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass That my heart is breaking forever.

Red Dirt Girl Emmylou Harris
Me and my best friend Lillian And her blue tick hound dog, Gideon, Sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade Singin every song the radio played Waitin for the Alabama sun to go down Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town Me and Lillian Just across the line and a little southeast of Meridian.
She loved her brother I remember back when He was fixin up a '49 Indian He told her 'Little sister, gonna ride the wind Up around the moon and back again" He never got farther than Vietnam, I was standin there with her when the telegram come For Lillian. Now he's lyin somewhere about a million miles from Meridian.
She said there's not much hope for a red dirt girl Somewhere out there is a great big world That’s where I'm bound And the stars might fall on Alabama But one of these days I'm gonna swing My hammer down Away from this red dirt town I'm gonna make a joyful sound
She grew up tall and she grew up thin Buried that old dog Gideon By a crepe myrtle bush in the back of the yard, Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard Got in trouble with a boy from town Figured that she might as well settle down So she dug right in Across a red dirt line just a little south east from Meridian
She tried hard to love him but it never did take It was just another way for the heart to break So she dug right in. But one thing they don't tell you about the blues When you got em You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom There ain't no end, At least not for Lillian
Nobody knows when she started her skid, She was only 27 and she had five kids. Coulda' been the whiskey, Coulda been the pills, Coulda been the dream she was trying to kill. But there won't be a mention in the news of the world About the life and the death of a red dirt girl Named Lillian Who never got any farther across the line than Meridian.
Now the stars still fall on Alabama Tonight she finally laid That hammer down Without a sound In the red dirt ground

Ground Control to Major Tom, Ground Control to Major Tom, Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
Ground Control to Major Tom Commencing countdown, engines on Check igition and may God's love be with you
This is Ground Control to Major Tom, You've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear. Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
This is Major Tom to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today.
For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world, Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do.
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still, And I think my spaceship knows which way to go. Tell my wife I love her very much she knows."
Ground Control to Major Tom Your circuits dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...
Here I am floating round my tin can, Far above the Moon, Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do.

MG used this song: SPACE ODDITY ~ DAVID BOWIE Thanks gov, tis an oldie favorite of mine. Brother, Can You Spare a Dime lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931) They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob, When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead, Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread? Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time. Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime; Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell, Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum, Half a million boots went slogging through Hell, And I was the kid with the drum! Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime? next word: bread Maeve

Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys ~ Traffic
If you see something that looks like a star and it's shooting up out of the ground and your head is spinning from a loud guitar. And you just can't escape from the sound don't worry too much, it'll happen to you We were children once, playing with toys.
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of the low spark of high-heeled boys.
The percentage you're paying is too high priced while you're living beyond all your means. And the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he's made on your dreams. But today you just swear that the man was shot dead by a gun that didn't make any noise. But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was the low spark of high-heeled boys.
If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish would you ask for something, like another chance. Or something similar as this don't worry too much, it'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys.
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of the low spark of high-heeled boys.
The percentage you're paying is too high priced while you're living beyond all your means and the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he's made on your dreams But today you just swear that the man was shot dead by a gun that didn't make any noise But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was the low spark of high-heeled boys....high-heeled boys.
If I gave you everything that I own and asked for nothing in return Would you do the same for me, as I would for you? Or take me for a ride and strip me of everything, including my pride But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound of the low spark of high-heeled boys.

System of a Down (also referred to as System or abbreviated as SOAD) is a Grammy-award winning band that was formed in 1995. All four members are of Armenian descent, and are grandsons of Armenian Genocide survivors.
Prison Song System of a Down
They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison,
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons You don't even flinch All our taxes paying for your wars Against the new non-rich.
The percentage of Americans in the prison system, the prison system, THE Prison system, has doubled since 1985.
They're trying to build a prison, They're trying to build a prison, Another prison system, Another prison system, For you and me, for you and me, for you and me.
All research and successful drug policy shows That treatment should be increased, And law enforcement decreased, While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences,
Utilizing drugs to pay for secret wars around the world, Drugs are now your global policy, Now you police the globe, Drug money is used to rig elections, And train brutal corporate sponsored Dictators around the world.

Set the World Afire ~ Megadeth
Red flash clouds Choking out the morning sky They said it'd never come, We knew it was a lie All forms of life die now, The humans all succumb Time to kiss your @ss goodbye, The end has just begun
Distorted figures walk the street, It's 1999 Weeds once underneath the feet Have grown to vines Bodies melted like a candle, A land without a face No time to change your fate, No time left, it's too late
The aresenal of Megadeth can't be rid of they said And if it comes the living will envy the dead Racing for power and all come in last No winning, first stone cast
This falsehood wordly peace Its treaties soon will cease No one will be left to prove That humans existed Maybe soon the children Will be born open fisted We all live on one planet And it will all go up in smoke
Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy And now the final scene, a global darkening
Dig deep the piles of rubble and ruin Towering overhead both far and wide There's unknown tools for World War III Einstein said, 'We'll use rocks on the other side' No survivors, set the world afire!

Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top The Hollies
And every time I get to thinkin' With every thought of you, I wanna shout aloud And then I think about the love I had inside me How you brought what's inside out
So now love's made it to the outside I wanna tell the world of everything I've found Somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me You've turned my living upside-down
And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real?
Tell me where you learned the magic The spell you used the day you made me fall Baby, now I know that love is no illusion I'm upside-down but ten feet tall
And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real?
On and on I drifted with the tide I didn't know that love could move me so You filled my life with love and much more besides And you showed me which way to go
And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real?
And I can't tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real?

The Munchkin Land Song EH Harburg and Harold Arlen
(Glinda) Come out, come out wherever you are And meet the young lady who fell from a star She fell from the sky, she fell very far And Kansas she says is the name of the star
She brings you good news, or haven't you heard When she fell out of Kansas a miracle occurred
(Dorothy) It really was no miracle What happened was just this: The wind began to switch, the house to pitch And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch Just then the witch, to satisfy an itch Went flying on her broomstick thumbing for a hitch
(Munchkin Man) And oh what happened then was rich
(Munchkins) The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch It landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked witch Who began to twitch, and was reduced to just a stitch Of what was once the wicked witch
(Munchkin) We thank you very sweetly for doing it so neatly You've killed her so completely That we thank you very sweetly
(Glinda) Let the joyous news be spread The wicked, old witch at last is dead
(Munchkins) Ding-dong the witch is dead Which old witch? The wicked witch Ding-dong the wicked witch is dead Wake up you sleepyhead Rub your eyes, get out of bed Wake up the wicked witch is dead She's gone where the goblins go Below - below - below Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead
(Mayor) As mayor of the Munchkin City In the county of the land of Oz I welcome you most regally
(Judge and Mayor) But we've got to verify it legally, to see, to see... (Judge and Mayor) If she, if she, is morally, ethically
(Munchkins) Spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely, undeniably and reliably dead
(Coroner) As Coroner, I thoroughly examined her, and she's not only merely dead, She's really most sincerely dead
(Mayor) Then this is a day of independence for all the munchkins And their descendants Yes, let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old witch at last is dead
(Munchkins) Ding-dong the witch is dead Which old witch? The wicked witch Ding-dong the wicked witch is dead Wake up you sleepyhead Rub your eyes, get out of bed Wake up the wicked witch is dead She's gone where the goblins go Below - below - below Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead

Strong Heart ~ T G Shepherd
How many place has she tried to make a home And before we got our roots down, I was ready to move on I haven't made it easy She's had to carry all the load
She must have a strong heart to keep on loving me After all she's been through, why else would she believe? Knowing I'm a dreamer and that's all I'll ever be She must have a strong heart to keep on loving me
I know she's had her own dreams, but she had to let them go I know it's had to hurt her, but she never let it show She's never tried to change me And she's never changed her mind
She must have a strong heart to keep on loving me the way she does After all she's been through, why else would she believe? Knowing I'm a dreamer and that's all I'll ever be She must have a strong heart to keep on loving me

Crystal gazing, crystal gazing. What you gonna find in crystal gazing? Crystal gazing, crystal gazing. What you gonna find in crystal gazing?
Voices in the dark and the lights burn low. Teach yourself the art that you never know. Try to put a message through to your sweetheart. Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Pictures from the night, would you be my guide? What you talk about on the other side. Carry you a message through from your sweetheart. Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?

Have you seen the old man In the closed-down market Kicking up the paper With his worn out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride Hand held loosely at his side Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
Chorus: so how can you tell me you're lonely And say for you that the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of london I'll show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of london Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home in two carrier bags
Chorus In the all night cafe At a quarter past eleven Same old man is sitting there on his own Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea-cup Each tea lasts an hour Then he wanders home alone
