Sister Golden Hair by America
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Ice Cream Man by Jonathon Richman
Hi there, everybody. We're the Modern Lovers.
We're gonna sing about the ice cream man for you.
Well now, ice cream man, upon my street
I heard your truck outside, it's really neat.
Ice cream man, upon my block
Your little chimes, they reel and they rock.
Ice cream man, ring your bell.
Play the music I've learned to love so well.
Ice cream man, ring your chimes
In the afternoon so fine.
Ice cream man, upon my street
I heard your truck today, it was a-neat, a-neat, a-neat.
Ice cream man, upon my block now,
Your chimes, they reel and rock.
Now, ice cream man, upon my street
Your little truck, you know, is a-neat, neat.
And ice cream man, upon my block,
I heard your chimes, I know they reel and they rock.
Ice cream man, on my street,
Your little truck, you know, is a-neat, a-neat, a-neat.
Ice cream man, upon my block,
Your chimes, your chimes, they reel and rock.
Ice cream man, upon my street,
You heard your truck today, it's neat, neat.
Ice cream man, ring your chimes
In the afternoon so fine.
One more time...
Ice cream man, ring your bell,
Play the music I've learned to love.
Ice cream man, ring your chime
In the afternoon so fine.

[THE PINBALL WIZARD]
Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
From SoHo down to Brighton,
I must have played them all.
But I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.
He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feelin' all the bumpers,
Always playin' clean.
He plays by intuition.
The digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.
He's a pinball wizard,
There has to be a twist.
A pinball wizard,
Got such a supple wrist!
How do you think he does it?
I don't know!
What makes him so good?
Well, he ain't got no distractions,
Can't hear no buzzers and bells.
Don't see lights a-flashing,
He plays by sense of smell.
Always has a replay,
Never tilts at all,
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.
He can't beat me now,
I've always been the champ!
I know it's a trick!
No freak's gonna beat my hand!
He can beat my favorite table,
He can beat the best.
His disciples lead him in,
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper fingers,
I've never seen them fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist.
A pinball wizard,
Got such a supple wrist!
He's a pinball wizard
His score shoots even more!
A pinball wizard,
The world's new pinball lord!
He's scoring more!
He's scoring more!
I thought I was the Bally table king,
But I just handed my pinball crown to him.
To him! To him!

"Helena"
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Feel Good Inc.
City's breaking down on a camel's back.
They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're damn ass free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I dont get sleep, no..
Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up-a like ass cracks,
Ladies, homies, at the track
its my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
watch me as I gravitate
hahahahahahaa.
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
this motown,
with yo sound
you're in the place
you gonna bite the dust
Cant fight with us
With yo sound
you kill the INC.
so dont stop, get it, get it
until you're Jet Ahead.
Yo, watch the way I navigate
Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Dont stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady,
watch me navigate,
ahahahahahhaa.
Dont stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady, watch me navigate

You don't know Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. He's like, from the 80's. And no, I don't know them. My cousin played that song for me and I loved it. I have it one my computer right now.

Wait...what?
Dude, you need to hear more of them, they are an amazing band. Actually, Jonathan Richman is still touring, and still puts out new CD's, only it's without the Modern Lovers.

just listened to it..can't say it would be my every-day listening stuff like green-day, but I like it.
She's A Rebel"
She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous
She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction
From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old whatsername
She's the symbol
of resistance
and she's holding on my
heart like a hand grenade
Is she dreaming
what I'm thinking
Is she the mother of all bombs
gonna detonate
Is she trouble
like I'm trouble
make it a double
twist of fate
or a melody that
She sings the revolution
the dawning of our lives
she brings this liberation
that I just can't define
nothing comes to mind
[x2]
She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous
She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction
She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous
She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction
She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous
[x2]
---------------
"Give Me Novacaine"
Take away the sensation inside
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling, that’s alright
Jimmy says it's better than here,
I’ll tell you why
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine
Oh Novacaine
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine
------------
the killers
"Mr Brightside"
I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...

Green day . . . I'm just going to leave it at that. I don't like them.
I thought I saw something about him touring. But how do you know him or the Modern Lovers?

Green Day...I agree with Tony on this one.
Now, I don't know them personally, so if you thought I was saying that, I apologize. However, my Aunt and Uncle gave 'The Best of Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers: The Beserkley Years' for Christmas a few years ago. I've been obsessed ever since.
I check ticketmaster weekly for tour dates near me, but so far...nothing. My Aunt and Uncle saw him live not to long ago. They said he is an amazing stage performer.

Oh. That helps me understand what you said.
I Googled up his site and it said he was still touring. I don't know if there was a schedule or not, but I would love to go to one of his performances.
This spring or last year the guy from Police Academy that could do all those sounds came up here. I never got a chance to watch him.

There is a schedule, however, I think that he is coming to the end of his toru, there are only like two or three dates left.

About green day, that's understandable, I only like afew songs. But as for the killers, yeah that's one of the few cd's I've ever bought, normaly I pay 89c for one song.
The Killers
"Indie Rock & Roll"
Glamorous
Indie rock'n'roll is what I want
It's in my soul, it's what I need
Indie rock'n'roll, it's time
Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
She plays the drums, I'm on tambourine
Bet your, your bottom dollar on me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
Electric girls with worn down toys
Make it up, break it up, what do you care
Oh what do you care?
I take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause, then I'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today
Stay if you wanna love me, stay
Oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens
Let's make it yeah, we'll cause a scene
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
In a clutch
I'm talking every word for all the boys
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care
What do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me
It's all I need
Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care
What do you care?
It's Indie rock'n'roll for me

That's too bad. Maybe he'll do another tour one of these days and we'll be able to see him.
Have you heard the one with the grocery store and the other about the plane?
