Love She Sells Sanctuary. One of my favorites in the surprisingly large category of single syllable band names beginning with a "C": The Cult, The Cure, The Clash etc. Here is another one:

Been turned around till I'm upside down Been all at sea until I've drowned And I've felt torture, I've felt pain Just like that film with Michael Caine I've been abused and I've been confused And I've kissed Margaret Thatcher's shoes And I been high and I been low And I don't know where to go Birth, school, work, death Birth, school, work, death

Good to see someone liked a song. I usually post a song I've heard on satellite radio that day.

I was tuning in the shine on the late night dial Doing anything my radio advised With every one of those late night stations Playing songs bringing tears to my eyes I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver When the switch broke 'cause it's old They're saying things that I can hardly believe They really think we're getting out of control Radio is a sound salvation Radio is cleaning up the nation They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason So you had better do as you are told You better listen to the radio

When I think of all the worries People seem to find How they're in a hurry To complicate their minds By chasing after money And dreams that can't come true I'm glad that we are different We've better things to do When others plan their future I'm busy loving you

Any Graham Parker fans?
I been doing my homework now for a long long time And everything that I look for I know I will one day find I'm a fool so I'm told I get left in the cold Cause I will search the world for that fool's gold Fool's gold
Oh the world may be full of girls with their charms on show But the one that I seek will have much more than any I know People say heaven knows see what comes I suppose But I will search the world for that fool's gold, fool's gold Huh I eye eye eye eye eye eye eye I eye eye eye eye eye eye eye Oh yeah

I have always liked Graham Parker--reminded me of a UK Springsteen, with a crack British band.

Finally, a Beatles song that’s actually about lies and lying. Written by George Harrison, Think for Yourself is a direct admonition against lying — “You’re telling all those lies/about the good things we can have/if we close our eyes.” Given Harrison’s topsy-turvy relationship with his wife Patti Boyd (she left him and married his best friend, Eric Clapton), you might think the song was a warning to her. Perhaps. But lines like, “The future still looks good/and you’ve got time to rectify/all the things that you should” lend some credence to Harrison’s later admission in his book I Me Mine that the song was inspired “probably by the government.”
As Mark Twain would say “There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.” well...i guess you can hear it on youtube if you want to

anybody ever hear of "The Garden"? I am so super-excited to be talking politics with their fans tonight while making $$$. If i get a free ticket that's gravy, because it's sold out and across the street from my friend's house.
