Never Can Say Goodbye
















Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no... I,
Never can say goodbye,
Even tho' the pain and heartache seem to follow me wherever I go
Tho' I tried and tried to hide my feelings, then they'd always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me and I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so?

But I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no.. I,
Never can say goodbye
Ev'ry time I think I've had enough and start heading for the door
There's very strange vibrations, piercing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool you, know you love her more and more
Tell me why is it so?
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Oohh, oohh, baby,
(don't wanna let you go, girl)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no

Oohh, I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, ohh,
(don't wanna let you go, baby)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no,
Oohh

Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin', there's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up, can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so?
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Oohh, oohh, baby,
(baby)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no

Oohh, I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Oohh, oohh, oohh, (baby)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no,
Oohh

More Interesting Man







Most Interesting Man, after a few too many ("Let me tell you sumpthin"...)



Most songs about love are written for him, about him, or by him.

He'd never initiate a conversation about the weather, even in a typhoon.

He's against cruelty to animals, but isn't afraid to issue a stern warning.

Whatever side of the tracks he's on is the right side. If he crossed them, he would still be the right side.

He once buried a time capsule full of things that haven't happened yet.

When it is raining, it is because he is sad.

His shirts never wrinkle.

He is left-handed. And right-handed.

He has never lost a sock.

If he disagrees with you, it is because you are wrong.

He has a fondness for collecting the weaponry of Austria-Hungary. If Austria-Hungary had never existed, he would still collect its weaponry.




He still is, the most interesting man in the world.

Like A Rock



















Like A Rock
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band


Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong,
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn't have a care,
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere,
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright,
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light,
And I held firm
To what I felt was right,
Like a rock

Like a rock,
I was strong as I could be
Like a rock,
Nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock,
I was something to see
Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes,
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams


Twenty years now,
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes,
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night,
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

Like a rock,
Standing arrow straight
Like a rock,
Chargin' from the gate
Like a rock,
Carrying the weight
Like a rock

Like a rock,
The sun upon my skin
Like a rock,
Hard against the wind
Like a rock,
I see myself again
Oh, like a rock

I Finally Reveal My True Identity

















His birth was prophesized by the Mayans.

Lime trees bear fruit on his command.


He once had an awkward moment, just to see what it feels like.

Lucha Libres remove their masks in his presence.

His beard has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body.

He handles sizzling fajita skillets bare-handed.

The sun comes up later on the 6th of May in case his Cinco parties run long.

Bulls flat out refuse to fight him.

He lives vicariously, through himself.

He once taught a German Shepherd to bark in Spanish.

His reputation is expanding faster than the universe.


He is, the most interesting man in the world.

Where Is My Mind?














Where Is My Mind?
The Pixies


Oh-Stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimming

I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish when he told me east is west
I swear he was trying to talk to me, coy koi


Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimming

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Oh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Oh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Oh
Oh


"That came from me snorkelling in the Caribbean and having this very small fish trying to chase me. I don't know why - I don't know too much about fish behaviour." Frank Black in SELECT, October 1997
