Follow Your Arrow" by katy musgraves

If you save yourself for marriage
You're a bore
If you don't save yourself for marriage
You're a hor-rible person
If you won't have a drink
Then you're a prude
But they'll call you a drunk
As soon as you down the first one

If you can't lose the weight
Then you're just fat
But if you lose too much
Then you're on crack
You're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
So you might as well just do
Whatever you want
So

Make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

If you don't go to church
You'll go to hell
If you're the first one
On the front row
You're self-righteous
Son of a-
Can't win for losing
You'll just disappoint 'em
Just 'cause you can't beat 'em
Don't mean you should join 'em

So make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

Say what you think
Love who you love
'Cause you just get
So many trips 'round the sun
Yeah, you only
Only live once

So make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's what you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, I would
And follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

"FML"...

The anthem for the world we live in today.... brand new from Godsmack... here's "FML":

Make me lie when I'm open,
without even knowing!
Wasting time dragging me down
through everything that’s broken!
Tried so hard to impress me
by pushing up against me!
Wait for one more second,
so you can still correct me

Take me, try to break me open
Why? 'Cause I know something
Hate me, trying to make me change what’s right
So {frak} my life!

Time stands still when I’m with you,
but you make me want to kill you!
How am I supposed to break through?
I can’t even understand you!
I don’t mind watching you crumble
for everything you do to me!
Why do you push so hard
and constantly try to test me?

Take me, try to break me open
Why? 'Cause I know something
Hate me, trying to make me change what’s right
So {frak} my life!

Take me, try to break me open
Why? 'Cause I know you hate your life
So {frak} my life!

(Take me, and try to break me
Hate me, {frak} my life
Take me, and try to break me
Hate me)
{Frak} my life!

Take me, try to break me open
Why? 'Cause I know something
Hate me, trying to make me change what’s right
So {frak} my life!

Take me, try to break me open
Why? 'Cause I know you hate your life
So {frak} my life!

Take me, break me
Hate me, don’t try to change me
Take me, break me, take me, break me, hate me
{Frak} my life

[Jack T. Chance]

"I Don't Belong"...

"I Don't Belong" by Godsmack

Secrets -- buried deep at the bottom of my heart
Beaten -- throughout every corner of my life
I'll fall apart

I don't belong -- I don't fit in
I'm dead and gone -- I thought that I could win
I'm holding on to what's within
I'm coming strong with everything I can

Reaching -- does anyone still believe in who I am?
Bleeding -- every part of me is being taken
from deep within
Understand -- it's who I am!

I don't belong -- I don't fit in
I'm dead and gone -- I thought that I could win
I'm holding on to what's within
I'm coming strong with everything I can

I don't belong -- I don't fit in
I'm dead and gone -- I thought that I could win

I'll find my way out, I know it can't be long
My end of days I'm hoping will be gone

I don't belong -- I don't fit in
I'm dead and gone -- I thought that I could win
I'm holding on to what's within
I'm coming strong with everything I can

I don't belong -- I don't fit in
I'm dead and gone -- I thought that I could win
I'm holding on to what's within
I'm coming strong with everything I can
Understand -- it's who I am!

"I Don't Belong" by Godsmack

I just bought this CD on Sunday. I've already listened to it 8 times through, and am still going all fan girl on it.

"What's Next?"...

"What's Next?" by Godsmack

Freezing me, take me by my hand
Show me things I can't understand
For now, I'll wait and see
what we become, what will become of me
And time's not gonna wait, not for one day
It's gonna break us the same way!

Some of us love and some of us hate!
And some of us fear the end won't come our way

In death, life, what's next?
The only thing certain is death,
life, what's next?
It is the only thing

Born in time, those things that we all love
Not knowing why, or where we go when it's all done
So take all you can take
Learn from your life, make no mistake
It's all part of the way
And tell me why, why we're all blind,
why we're all blind from uncertainty

Some of us love and some of us hate!
And some of us fear the end won't come our way

In death, life, what's next?
The only thing certain is death,
life, what's next?
It is the only thing

So many questions, hoping answers somehow come to me
It's getting harder to believe
I'm trying to make sense of this matter
No way I can see these circumstances helping me
No, I know nothing!
I know nothing!

Some of us love and some of us hate!
And some of us fear the end won't come our way

In death, life, what's next?
The only thing certain is death,
life, what's next?
It is the only thing

In death, life, what's next?
The only thing certain is death,
life, what's next?
It is the only thing
Is it the only thing for me?!

[Jay 2K Winger]

A song that I'm sure our very own Jester would probably enjoy, George Formby's "The Window Cleaner"

Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job

Now it's a job that just suits me
A window cleaner you would be
If you can see what I can see
When I'm cleanin' windows

Honeymoonin' couples too
You should see them bill 'n coo
You'd be surprised at things they do
When I'm cleanin' windows

In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top

The blushin' bride, she looks divine
The bridegroom he is doin' fine
I'd rather have his job than mine
When I'm cleanin' windows

The chambermaids' sweet names I call
It's a wonder I don't fall
My mind's not on my work at all
When I'm cleanin' windows

I know a fella, such a swell
He has a thirst, that's plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath as well
When I'm cleanin' windows

Oh, in my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top

Pyjamas lyin' side by side
Ladies nighties I have spied
I've often seen what goes inside
When I'm cleanin' windows

------ banjo ------

Now there's a famous talkie queen
She looks a flapper on the screen
She's more like eightie than eighteen
When I'm cleanin' windows

She pulls her hair all down behind
Then pulls down her... never mind
And after that pulls down the blind
When I'm cleanin' windows

In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top

An old maid walks around the floor
She's so fed up, one day I'm sure
She'll drag me in and lock the door
When I'm cleanin' windows

When I'm cleanin' windows

[El Pollo Guerrera]

"The Storm" by Flying Colors

There was a time
When my life was easy
Stretched out in the sun
Everything was clover
The world was off my shoulders for awhile

But then the sky turned a bomb fire shade
And hit me like a gun
It passed with flying colors
There's no flying over...

The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
It will give as it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm

Sometimes we get swept away
We're forced to take the change
The desert gives you comfort
You can't stay here all your wounded life

Underneath is the tempest rage
Your secrets come undone
When mountains need movin'
Let me help you through it

The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
Comes as fast as it fades
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm

All your secrets come undone
Every web you've ever spun
All your secrets come undone
Let'em go
Let it come...

The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
Gives you more than it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Stare chaos in the face
We need only to embrace

Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm

"Hell Yeah"...

"Hell Yeah" by The Bloodhound Gang

Alright now boys and girls, we've got another story for you now!
We want to introduce to you another friend of the Bible!

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

If I were God, there would be no explicit sex on T.V.
Like little Opie eating pie when he made it with Aunt Bea

If I were God, thou shall not worship false Billy Idols
And thou shall add the Book Of Flavor Flav to the Bible
Thou shall make fun of Hindus, thou shall not make a "Speed 2"
If I were God, that's what I'd do
Heavens no,
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

If I were God, I'd get a bunch of slaves to do everything
Norwegian lesbians that feed me grapes and know how to sing

If I were God, thou shall not wear tube socks with Flip-Flops
Thou shall sit and thou shall spin, thou shall even wife swap
Thou shall resist the Olsen Twins, thou shall not cut "Footloose"
If I were God, that's what I'd do
Heavens no,
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

And when they nail my pimpled ass to the cross,
I'll tell them I found Jesus, that should throw them off
He goes by the name "Hey Zeus" and steals hubcaps from cars
Oh "Hey Zeus" can I borrow your crowbar
to pry these God-damn nails out? They're beginning to hurt
Crucified and all I got was this lousy T-shirt
"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" I'll sing as I'm flogged
Yeah, that's what I would do if I were God

So vote for me for Savior and you'll go to Heaven
Your lame duck Lord is like Kevin Spacey in "Seven"
With creepy threats of H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick
You just can't teach an old God new tricks
But would I be a good Messiah with my low self-esteem?
If I don't believe in myself, would that be blasphemy?
Just sport some crummy "holier than thou" facade
Yeah, that's what I would do if I were God!

[Jack T. Chance]

"My December"...

“My December” by Linkin Park

Green = Chester Bennington
Red = Mike Shinoda

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I…
Just wish that I didn’t feel like there was something I missed
And I…
Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that
And I…
Just wish that I didn’t feel like there was something I missed
And I…
Take back all the things that I said to you

And I’d give it all away
just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
to have someone to come home to

This is my December
these are my snow-covered trees
This is me pretending
this is all I need

And I…
Just wish that I didn’t feel like there was something I missed
And I…
Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that
And I…
Just wish that I didn’t feel like there was something I missed
And I…
Take back all the things that I said to you

And I’d give it all away
just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
to have someone to come home to

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear!

Give it all away
just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
to have someone to come home to
Give it all away
just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
to have someone to come home to

[Jack T. Chance]

"I Forgive..."

My favorite song off of Lacuna Coil's latest album Broken Crown Halo. This is the story of my pathetic love life, in a nutshell. </3

"I Forgive (But I Won't Forget Your Name)" by Lacuna Coil

You know I've been hurt before,
but you didn't really care
Had enough of empty words
I'm not here to stay

I cannot deal with you anymore
Once again you've crossed the line
And you're underestimating me again

I forgive the ones who hurt me,
but I'll not forget your name!
All the damage that you've done,
I want to see you pay!

'Cause I will forgive the ones who hurt me,
but I'll not forget your name
You will pay for all that you've done

When I put my trust in you,
you just threw it all away
All the pain you put me through,
you're not here to stay

And you're underestimating me again
You'll get what you've been giving

Let it rain, let it rain,
let it rain into my heart
I'll wash away the stains
that you left behind

Let it rain, let it rain,
let it rain into my heart

I forgive the ones who hurt me,
but I'll not forget your name!
All the damage that you've done,
I want to see you pay!

'Cause I will forgive the ones who hurt me,
but I'll not forget your name
You will pay for all that you've done

I forgive the ones who hurt me,
but I'll not forget your name!
All the damage that you've done,
I want to see you pay!

'Cause I will forgive the ones who hurt me,
but I'll not forget your name
You will pay for all that you've done

'Cause I will forgive the ones who hurt me,
but I'll not forget your name
You will pay for all that you've done

[Jack T. Chance]

&quot;Under the Sun&quot;...

One of my all-time favorite songs by the band that gave birth to the Heavy Metal genre...

"Under the Sun/Every Day Comes And Goes" by Black Sabbath

Well, I don't want no Jesus freak to tell me what it's all about
No black magician telling me to cast my soul out
Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace
I've opened the door, now my mind's been released

Well, I don't want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky!
No, I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die!
I wanna live my life, I don't want people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself, 'cause no one else is true

Every day just comes and goes,
life is one long overdose
People driving to ruination
and I can't see through their frustration

People hiding their real faces
Each one running their rat races
Behind each flower, there grows a weed
in their world of make-believe

So believe what I tell you, it's the only way you'll find in the end
Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn't have to pretend
Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind

[Jack T. Chance]

&quot;The Sound Of Silence&quot;...

"The Sound Of Silence" by Disturbed
(Cover of Simon & Garfunkle)

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams, I walked alone
narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
that split the night
and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light, I saw
ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs
that voices never share
And no one dared
disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
and echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon God they made!
And the sign flashed out its warning
in the words that it was forming!
And the sign said
"The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

[Jack T. Chance]

&quot;I Don't Know&quot;...

First post of 2016 is one of my all-time favorite songs from Ozzy Osbourne's solo career. This song became even more meaningful to me once I realized, as a young man, that I'm an Agnostic.

"I Don't Know" by Ozzy Osbourne

People look to me and say
"Is the end near, when is the final day?
What's the future of mankind?"
How do I know? I got left behind

Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me,
I don't know!

How am I supposed to know
hidden meanings that will never show?
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast

You gotta believe in someone
Asking me who is right
Asking me who to follow
Don't ask me,
I don't know!
I don't know!
I don't know!
I don't know

Nobody ever told me,
I found out for myself
You gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game,
it's if you win or lose
You can choose, don't confuse,
win or lose, it's up to you!
It's up to you!
It's up to you!
It's up to you!
Go, go, go

People look to me and say
"Is the end near, when is the final day?
What's the future of mankind?"
How do I know? I got left behind, I'm lost

Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me,
I don't know!

Happy Easter everyone!

[Jack T. Chance]

&quot;Corduroy&quot;...

One of the best things about having a Sirius-XM subscription is that there is a channel devoted to Pearl Jam! This has, of course, reignited my love of the grunge movement's most successful band!

Here's an oldie, but a goodie...

"Corduroy" by Pearl Jam

The waiting drove me mad!
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back,
can't let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can't give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run, but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone, just like before

I'll take the varmint's path!
Oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist!
This behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before

I don't want to be held in your debt,
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began

Everything has chains!
Absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture,
spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can't give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me,
I can't buy what I want, because it's free
Can't buy what I want, because it's free
Can't be what you want because I...

I am s'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
All alone, like I began...

(It's your move now...
I thought you were a friend,
but I guess I, I guess I hate you..)
