She’s my fave
Undressing in the sun
Return to sea – bye
Forgetting everyone
Eleven high
Ride a wave
—The Pixies, “Ana”
Acrostic to the max, yo. And I just figured it out for the first time today.

First person to correctly name the song from which I pulled this random lyrical transcription wins.

I stop for a cigarette
all those trials and things they try and see
we’re wandering through water and sand
land, land ho!
won’t you leave?

What you win is up to me and likely to approach zero. I, however, feel particularly victorious, because after [...]

Formal Application
I shall begin by learning to throw
the knife, first at trees, until it sticks
in the trunk and quivers every time;
next from a chair, using only wrist
and fingers, at a thing on the ground,
a fresh ant hill or a fallen leaf;
then at a moving object, perhaps
a pine cone swinging on twine, until
I pot it at [...]

At a time when the world seems to be spinning hopelessly out of control,
There’s deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners,
That seem to have no place to go.
Well, it’s the same old song, it’s right and it’s wrong,
And living is just something that I do.
And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes,
And I [...]

We live through these times
And never change the way we are
We’ve seen through their lies
So don’t ever say it’s one too far
We’ve been to these heights
With open arms and ways to fly
We live through these times
And forever change
Your time was not mine
I traced you down to an untwinned town
We’d laugh all the while
Playing games with [...]

For some reason, probably because it’s fact, I think this song by emo-rockerz Rainier Maria r0×0r. I like the lyrices, especially the “mit Luftwaffe” part:

Expect me like one waits for mail,
all lost dropped and cancelled.
Like foreign post, i leave twice a day
but take a week to get there.

Expect me like [...]

Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks when you’re trying to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we’re all doing our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays [...]

You’ve got a lot of nerve
to say that to me
and even if it were true
don’t you think
she’d spill the beans
eventually
Scraping poor man’s
off a hanger
in the basement
of the compound
Something’s not right
does anybody have a light?

Richie Rich cirlce star scribble
We have been here too long
I know it’s hot; I know
I’m tired too.
It’s hard:
Five quarter board.
It’s too well-nailed,
bend it for me

The people will survive
In their environment
The dirt, scarcity, and the emptiness
Of our South
The injustice of our greed
The practice we inherit
The dirt, scarcity and the emptiness
Of our South
There on the beach
I could see it in her eyes
I only had a Corona
Five cent deposit
“Corona” (dboon) by The Minutemen

lyrics to a song I made up tonight
The sidewalks parade the reject this city has made.
I’m drunk, grumpy, closed and tired and it’s no way to get laid.
The booze is bringing you warming thoughs of a frozen northern capital
I shook his hand almost kissed his ring
still, why should it go this well?
Underneath the Schlitz sign [...]

It makes you feel tall
horizons on all sides
moving to the west
the sunset as our guide
i remember the polish bar
where every third beer was free
the drunken cop gives the evil eye
but the bartender vouches for me
my friend i was wrong
i admit it
i was wrong
how can i go back?
the bridges are all burned
so sorry
simply sorry
