Pink Floyd
A New Machine - Part 1

I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind these eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime 
Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been?
Could it ever have been different? 
Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever,
Nobody lives forever

Life's Simple Pleasures

Out for the day.

Lyrics - Dire Straits - On Every Street

Dire Straits
"On Every Street"

There's gotta be a record of you some place
You gotta be on somebody's books
The lowdown - a picture of your face
Your injured looks

The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

A ladykiller - regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you
She threw herself under my wheels
Oh it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
And you still refuse to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

Pumpkins!

Watching for ducks!

My casual Friday work shoes!

I'll Be Waiting

The best things in life are things
To live in, to breathe in
The best things in life are things
That something you can believe in

Do you believe me?
Do you believe me when I say
Tonight won't last for long?
And soon it will be gone

But I won't leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

The best things in life are things
The laughing and crying
The best things in life are things
The frightened, they're still fighting

Do you believe me?
Do you believe me, yeah, when I say
Tonight won't last for long?
Soon it will be gone

But I won't leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

You said that you were leaving
But it's alright, it's alright
You said sorry
But it's alright, yes, it's alright

The best things in life are things
Broken and bleeding
The best things in life are things
They're chosen to believe in

So whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

And I say, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh
Eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh
Eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh

I say it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's gonna be alright now

I travel a lot.

Guardian

Now no more smiling mid crestfall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstorm

Now enter your watchwoman

I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian


Every time I hear this song I think of myself and how I am trying to treat myself.  For too long I ignored my inner gender variances.  I thought that maybe they were trying to bring me down and destroy me.  What I have learned is that inner voice is my strength.  It is there to help pull me up.  It is there as my guardian.

Do you have an inner guardian?

We all need one.

Regardless of your gender tendencies, we all need to be our own personal guardians.

The Turning Away

Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night 
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Come With Me Now

Afraid to lose control
And caught up in this world
I've wasted time, I've wasted breath
I think I've thought myself to death

I was born without this fear
Now only this seems clear
I need to move, I need to fight
I need to lose myself tonight

Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna take you down
Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna show you how

New Nail Job!

I did them myself!

Overheard at The Pool

I was at the pool in Vegas, in my bikini bottom though obviously presenting as male. It was quite crowded on Sat afternoon. 

I walked from my lounge and got into the pool. My head came out of the water and I heard one tattooed biker looking guy say to his friend "well you can do that if you're hot.

Quite interestingly I am pretty sure they were talking about me.

Movie Quote - The Mummy

Do you know how many times I have seen The Mummy?  Far too many to even count.

This is Evelyn from the movie The Mummy:

You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself, always get their comeuppance.

Secrets

They tell us from the time were young
to hide the things that we don't like about ourselves
inside ourselves
I know I'm not the only one who spent so long
attempting to be someone else

well I'm over it

I don't care if the world know what my secrets are, secrets are
I don't care if the world knows what my secrets are, secrets are
so what
so what
so what
so what

Lyrics - Dire Straits

When the things that you hold 

Can fall and be shattered 

Or run through your fingers like dust

-Dire Straits

Do you ever feel as though you hold things too tight?  So tight that maybe you might crush it?

I often feel like Lennie who pets the bunny so strongly that in my efforts to love, all I do is kill.

Scarecrow

You're staring out the window
And I'm out here in the street
You stand there like a scarecrow
And I'm begging you to speak
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea
I just want to believe in you and me
I just want to believe in you and me

Lyrics - Pink Floyd

I used to listen to this album and especially this song, over and over, and over and over...  So sad.

Nobody Home

I've got wild staring eyes.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, Babe when I pick up the phone
"Surprise, surprise, surprise..." (from Gomer Pyle show)

There's still nobody home.

Oh btw piercing number 3 is gone now. It was in my nose but it bugged, so it's gone!

The Only Way I Know

That’s the only way I know

Don’t stop 'til everything’s gone

Straight ahead, never turn round

Don’t back up, don’t back down

Full throttle, wide open

You get tired, you don’t show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can’t dig no more

That’s the only way I know

Travelling

I am getting tired of sitting in the car. I want a teleporter already!

I love my legs

Back at the pool!!

Lyrics - Dire Straits

I love this haunting song.

Brothers In Arms

These mist-covered mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be

Some day you'll return to

Your valleys and your farms

And you'll no longer burn

To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction

Baptisms of fire

I've witnessed your suffering

As the battle raged high

And though they did hurt me so bad

In the fear and alarm

You did not desert me

My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds

So many different suns

And we have just one world

But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell

And the moon riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

But it's written in the starlight

And every line in your palm

We're fools to make war

On our brothers in arms

Legs in Vegas baby

Cameras are cool!!

Can you tell that this is my go to cleavage top?

Part All The Time

If we could party all night

And sleep all day

And throw all of my problems away

My life would be easy

My life would be easy

It makes me think about how so many of us always think the grass is greener on another hill. Oh if only ____ then me life would be easy (or at least better.)

Lyrics - What A Good Boy

This is from

Bare Naked Ladies - What A Good Boy

When I was born, they looked at me and said

what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.

And when you were born, they looked at you and said,

what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.

We've got these chains that hang around our necks,

people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.

Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,

when temptation calls, we just look away.

I have listened to this song for years and today it made me think about being born and labeled as one gender or the other.

Lyrics - Come along

Lyrics from

Vicci Martinez - Come Along

Come along now, come along with me
Come along now, come along and you'll see
What it's like to be free

On the drive home

Lyric Snippit

I listen to a lot of music.  Lots of lines stick with me.  I think it is a bit of an obsessive thing.  Oh well!!

This post is about -

Am I wrong by Nico & Vinz

The selection is:

Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?
I ain't tryna do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

Lyrics

Today, while driving to LA with Jules we heard this song -

Keep on Keeping On by Travie McCoy

The lines that stuck with me are -

You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling
That you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong

That part about where your going to feel as though your going to keep losing, isn't that the hardest part about it all??

Purpose for this blog

Occasionally things will catch my attention throughout the day.  It may be a small thought about me or others or life or my dog or anything.  They really tend to be small and kind of disjointed from my other blog, so I thought I would try and catalog them blogging style.
