Pixies: Greens and Blues

"Greens And Blues"

I'm not together, and you know it's true.
My bits all wander in the trees.
And if I ever seem a little strange,
Would you excuse me please?

I said I’m human, but you know I lie.
I'm only visiting this shore.
I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide
I pray again we will meet.

I’m wasting your time, just talking to you
Maybe best you go on home.
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind,
Slip into the greens and blues.

I said I'm human, but you know I lied.

I’m wasting your time, just talking to you
Maybe best you go on home.
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind
Slip into the greens and blues.

Greens and blues...

I’m wasting your time, just talking to you,
Maybe best you go on home.
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind,
Slip into the greens and blues.

I’m wasting your time, just talking to you,
Maybe best you go on home.
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind,
Slip into the greens and blues.

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

Today is the season finale for my local professional football team. They host their arch-rival and, after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles last week, hope to extend their winning streak to two games.  

But as you know, the controversial names of some sports teams have gotten more press than the athletes representing the teams on the field or the games they play. In this age of enlightenment, we can do better! 

The term "Cowboy" is highly offensive. The diminutive "boy" should never be applied to an adult male. "Cattlemen" is better, but the preferred gender-neural term is "Cattle-persons." 

Please join me now in the PC cheer of the day: 

"Go, Washington Fighting-persons of Native American Descent! Score slightly more sports-points than the Dallas Texas Cattle-persons!"

(But don't hurt their feelings.)

My hometown Washington Redskins close out the season today with a 1 p.m. game at FedEx Field against the Dallas Cowboys. Some interesting game day notes and nuggets from the Washington Post are available HERE.

Enjoy the game!

The basics:
Kickoff: 1 p.m. at FedEx Field
TV: Fox (Ch. 5, 45 locally) | Radio: 980 AM; 92.7 and 94.3 FM.
Line: Cowboys by 5.5

The Power of the Crystal

All these days I’ve been broken and hopeless

And I, and I don’t feel like I’m coping, I’m hoping

That I, that I can live and let go

So I can get through it

Yeah, I can live and let go

So I can get through this

What a Ride!

And now we ride the circus wheel

With your dark brother wrapped in white

Says it was good to be alive

But now he rides a comet's flame

And won't be coming back again

All these days I’ve been broken and hopeless

And I, and I don’t feel like I’m coping, I’m hoping

That I, that I can live and let go

So I can get through it

Yeah, I can live and let go

So I can get through this

[Verse 1: Suffa]

You know the pain can

Hang in the air like cigarette smoke, right?

Sometimes trying to live and let go

Like trying to talk with a mouth full of cinnamon though

I’m trying to crawl out the skin I'm in so

I can see through the eyes of a loved one, eyes of an enemy

Rising above sometimes takes a pedigree

That I fear that I don’t posses

And turns hope into hopelessness

But I won't depress

Won’t let life wear me down

Staring down as the troubles all rush past

Some part their wary brow

And wear a frown like a handlebar mustache

So we live, I forgive and forget

Rather than to live with regret

It's like living with debt

It’s a weight that'll curve your spine

Living with hurt is like serving time

[Hook: Maverick Sabre]

[Verse 2: Brother Ali]

I pay homage to obstacles

Thin line between honor and horrible

The healing heart knows the eyes must overflow

Tears clear the windows that guard the soul

Now that the water flow, you can scrub the mud out of your land

The blood out of your hands

But you still gotta cleanse your heart that’s trying to beat inside

And it’s only purified by the tears you cry

You can fight all the devils and slay them

But if you’re made hard at the days end then they win

There’s only one force that can solve all this

I want the warm heart that we all start with

Sometimes we march out, ball our fists

I will give it all up for my softness

You will never invade my Holy place

I let the tears dry on my face

[Hook: Maverick Sabre]

[Verse 3: Pressure]

If these walls could talk they’d sing a somber song

And if we stronger from this world that goes on and on

We wear our scarring like armor made our problems from

Void of feeling, time ticking sitting on a bomb

So disengaged, hopin' that this fades

Reaching out but the dark taking focus away

This road’s paved by the brave without knowing the way

Don’t stray bro, they didn't build Rome in a day

Now I don't need to satisfy, seize to set a tie

Just the feeling peace and gratify

If we don’t reach for the stars, only reach for satellite

We'll live in faded color, but dream in black and white

I know our demons walk among us

The struggle is something that we do, not something to become us

So let go of all the suffering and hurt

Yo, unless we ball it up and we burst

[Bridge: Maverick Sabre]

So I can get through this, so I can get through this

So I can get through this, so I can get through this

[Hook: Maverick Sabre]

Neutral Milk Hotel: Holland, 1945

Holland, 1945

Neutral Milk Hotel

The only girl I've ever loved

Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side

And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again

The earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so sad to see the world agree
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
