Another turning point..........

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Don't wanna be an American idiot! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA!!!

Down, down, down you go
No way to stop
As you fall, hear me call
No, no, no
Listen to this warning and
Consider these
Simple words of advice
Stop, stop, stop

Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange
What you got for a thing that’s hypnotic and strange

The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(everyone wants to see that thing)

And nobody knows what it’s really like
But everyone says it’s great
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes

I was a young boy that had big plans.
Now I'm just another ****** old man.
I don't have fun and I hate everything.
The world owes me, so @#%$ you.

Glory days don't mean @#%$ to me.
I drank a six pack of apathy.
Life's a @#%$ and so am I.
The world owes me, so @#%$ you.

Wasted youth and a fustful of ideals.
I had a young and optimisitic point of view.
Wasted youth and a fustful of ideals.
I had a young and optimisitic point of view.

I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat.
Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad.
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch.
The world owes me, so @#%$ you.

The wife's a nag and the kid's @#%$ up.
I don't have sex `cause i can't get it up.
I'm always rude.
I've got a bad attitude.
The world owes, so @#%$ you.

Nimrod- top album.

What do we do when the world stops turning?

How do we dance when our beds are burning?

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them

Fifteen birds!
In five fir trees!
Their feathers were fanned,
In a fiery breeze!

Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once? I am one of those melodramatic fools, neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it.

Midnight Oil
Love 'em.
Got Peter Garrets autograph in a Mad magazine.

I agree HE, love'em too!

Is that the song EriatarkaESP was quoting? I love that song but can't remember who sung it or what it was called. I want it!

Life is like a hurricane, here in Duckburgh
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes
It's a duck blur.
Might solve a mystery, or re-write history!
Duck Tales! Woo-ooh!
Every day they're out there making Duck Tales! Woo-ooh!

FrodoEyes... I quoted three songs in this thread - the first, Pichin' and I quoted "Time of Your Life" by Green Day, then I followed Azog's lead on 'Beds are Burning" by Midnight Oil, then I threw in some lyrics from Green Day's "Basket Case."

...'cuz I'm a little nutty.

Of course! How could I not know it was Green Day!
Thanks!

(though this isn't what's been going through my head all yesterday, I will post it 'cause it popped into my head just now)



Left a good job in the city.
Workin' for the man, every night and day.
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'- worryin'
'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheels keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin.. na na naa naa naaa
Rollin'! Rollin'! Rollin' on the river!


But what I was singing many times yesterday was:


Some folks are born, made to wave the flag...
Ooh they're red white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"..
They point the cannon at you!

It ain't me, it ain't me! I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me! I ain't no fortunate one.
