    My best friend gave me the best advice
    He said each day's a gift and not a given right
    Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
    And try to take the path less traveled by
    That first step you take is the longest stride

    If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
    Would you live each moment like your last
    Leave old pictures in the past?
    Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
    What if, what if, if today was your last day?

    Against the grain should be a way of life
    What's worth the price is always worth the fight
    Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
    So live like you're never living twice
    Don't take the free ride in your own life

    If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past?
    Donate every dime you had?

    And would you call those friends you never see?
    Reminisce old memories?
    Would you forgive your enemies?
    And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
    Swear up and down to God above
    That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

    If today was your last day
    Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
    You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
    Regardless of who you are

    So do whatever it takes
    'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
    Let nothing stand in your way
    'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

    If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past?
    Donate every dime you had?

    And would you call those friends you never see?
    Reminisce old memories?
    Would you forgive your enemies?
    And would you find that one you're dreaming of
    Swear up and down to God above
    That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

    As good as any other cliché-ridden narcissistic nonsense

    But what would you expect from Canadians?!

    not as good as these

    Sister's ill - she said she took the devil's advice
    She's a queer girl - alone with the frank and crude facts of life
    She said she was born ugly but now she's just tickled pink
    When baptised in a sexual way she just screams it stinks and it stings.

    She won't ever kiss you
    She won't ever touch you
    She won't ever kiss you
    When she's awake - You'll have to put her to sleep.

    Welcome to her closet world - she said sickness begins in here
    She's a savage girl - wishing she hadn't caught him looking again
    She smiles a disarming smile that makes her sweat from every pour
    No man could have invented it - ugly she said born - and she'll stay.

    She won't ever kiss you
    She won't ever touch you
    She won't ever kiss you
    When she's awake - You'll have to put her to sleep.

    Hate galore - a diary filled with passionate hate
    She's a hopeless cause - sometimes I feel less than one is now all she
    writes
    She's out - in search of the apocalypse is the message on her answerphone
    The truth is she's bone idle now she never leaves home and never will

    She won't ever kiss you
    She won't ever touch you
    She won't ever kiss you
    When she's awake - That's is she ever awakes at all

    She said it was Sod's law that soon she would self destruct
    What am I waiting for she said - I already wake up in a pool of piss
    She remembers innocence like an exhibit in a museum
    She knows embarrassment it's the only thing she ever feels
    She said her mother told her that she nearly had her destroyed
    An abortion would have been better than this her ghost would have enjoyed
    Life's half jokes

    She won't ever kiss you
    She won't ever touch you
    She won't ever kiss you
    When she's awake - You'll have to put her to sleep.
    She won't ever kiss you
    She won't ever touch you
    She won't ever kiss you
    When she's awake - You'll have to put her to sleep.

    Not as good as these:

    You got a lotta nerve
    To say you are my friend
    When I was down
    You just stood there grinning

    You got a lotta nerve
    To say you gota helping hand to lend
    You just want to be on
    The side that's winning

    You say I let you down
    You know it's not like that
    If you're so hurt
    Why then don't you show it

    You say you lost your faith
    But that's not where it's at
    You had no faith to lose
    And you know it

    I know the reason
    That you talk behind my back
    I used to be among the crowd
    You're in with

    Do you take me for such a fool
    To think I'd make contact
    With the one who tries to hide
    What he don't know to begin with

    You see me on the street
    You always act surprised
    You say, how are you? good luck
    But you don't mean it

    When you know as well as me
    You'd rather see me paralyzed
    Why don't you just come out once
    And scream it

    No, I do not feel that good
    When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
    If I was a master thief
    Perhaps I'd rob them

    And now I know you're dissatisfied
    With your position and your place
    Don't you understand
    It's not my problem

    I wish that for just one time
    You could stand inside my shoes
    And just for that one moment
    I could be you

    Yes, I wish that for just one time
    You could stand inside my shoes
    You'd know what a drag it is
    To see you

    These are my fav lyrics by a little know poet called Scroobious Pip. A bit heavy but hey. It's called a letter from God to Man

    Hey There, how, how’s it going?
    Long time no see.
    I know I haven’t been around much lately
    But…it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be
    The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
    So I figured I’d just leave you to it, let you be your own boss

    But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it’s amazing how you’ve grown.
    With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown,
    And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse,
    But I admit there are a few things I’m afraid have impressed me less.

    So I’m writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
    Although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame.
    All the good I tried to do was corrupted when organised religion got into full swing,
    What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
    My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
    Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered

    Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
    With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
    No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
    ‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded

    Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong.
    Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
    See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together
    I didn’t really think out a long-term plan.

    I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
    So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
    I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
    Some for sustenance and some for beauty
    I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
    I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped
    I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop

    I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
    Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
    You see, I wasn’t really the creater, I was just the curator of nature
    I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya
    I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
    I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers

    It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
    And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
    You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
    And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
    It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
    And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
    It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
    And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name

    So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
    But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created you

    God is a tender pervert and the angels are voyeurs
    Watching us forever, their vision never blurs
    They make us then forget us for a hundred million years
    And then by chance they glance at us and something in them stirs
    They find us so provocative, so weak, so full of pride
    Our cleverness, our nakedness, fills them with delight
    The way we hold our coffee cups, the way we pick our words
    God is a tender pervert and his angels
    His angels are voyeurs

    And when the tender pervert is too busy to admire us
    He sends his angels down to pass amongst us and desire us
    He gives them little notebooks where they note each quirk and boast
    Our foolish pride and pompousness turn him on the most
    When we're throwing temper tantrums
    When we're giving up the ghost
    The pervert keeps his distance
    But his angels, his angels move in close

    It intoxicates the Spaceman, watching how we thrill ourselves
    Not by sex but by devising new ways to kill ourselves
    He sees the way we tamper with the things we most depend on
    The danger stands his hair on end and gives him a hard-on
    He calls his angels down to watch that slut the world get hers
    God is a tender pervert and his angels
    His angels are voyeurs

    The pervert and his angels hide amongst the stars and watch
    And as we blow ourselves to bits the angels pump their cocks
    Their semen flows across the sky and forms new milky wheys
    And somewhere in some galaxy in less than seven days
    They make a planet more curvaceous and much sexier than ours
    Full of bigger sinners
    More worthy of voyeurs

    You want lyrics? I got lyrics.

    Joanna Newsom, 16 minutes of fantasticness...

    And there was a booming above you
    That night, black airplanes flew over the sea
    And they were lowing and shifting like
    Beached whales
    Shelled snails
    As you strained and you squinted to see
    The retreat of their hairless and blind cavalry
    You froze in your sand shoal
    Prayed for your poor soul
    Sky was a bread roll, soaking in a milk-bowl
    And when the bread broke, fell in bricks of wet smoke
    My sleeping heart woke, and my waking heart spoke
    Then there was a silence you took to mean something:
    Mean, run, sing
    For alive you will evermore be
    And the plague of the greasy black engines a-skulkin'
    Has gone east
    While you're left to explain them to me
    Released from their hairless and blind cavalry
    With your hands in your pockets, stubbily running
    To where I'm unfresh, undressed and yawning
    Well, what is this craziness? This crazy talking?
    You caught some small death when you were sleepwalking
    It was a dark dream, darlin', it's over
    The firebreather is beneath the clover
    Beneath his breathing there is cold clay, forever
    A toothless hound-dog choking on a feather
    But I took my fishingpole (fearing your fever)
    Down to the swimminghole, where there grows bitter herb
    That blooms but one day a year by the riverside - i'd bring it here:
    Apply it gently
    To the love you've lent me
    While the river was twisting and braiding, the bait bobbed
    And the string sobbed, as it cut through the hustling breeze
    And I watched how the water was kneading so neatly
    Gone treacly
    Nearly slowed to a stop in this heat
    - frenzy coiling flush along the muscles beneath
    Press on me: we are restless things
    Webs of seaweed are swaddling
    You call upon the dusk
    Of the musk of a squid
    Shot full of ink, until you sink into your crib
    Rowing along, among the reeds, among the rushes
    I heard your song, before my heart had time to hush it!
    Smell of a stone fruit being cut and being opened
    Smell of a low and of a lazy cinder smoking
    And when the fire moves away
    Fire moves away, son
    Why would you say
    I was the last one?
    Scrape your knee; it is only skin
    Makes the sound of violins
    When you cut my hair, and leave the birds the trimmings
    I am the happiest woman among all women
    And the shallow
    Water
    Stretches as far as I can see
    Knee-deep, trudging along
    A seagull weeps; "so long"
    I'm humming a threshing song
    Until the night is over
    Hold on!
    Hold on!
    Hold your horses back from the fickle dawn
    I have got some business out at the edge of town
    Candy weighing both of my pockets down
    'Til I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
    (and knowing how the common-folk condemn
    What it is I do, to you, to keep you warm
    Being a woman, being a woman)
    But always up the mountainside you're clambering
    Groping blindly, hungry for anything:
    Picking through your pocket linings - well, what is this?
    Scrap of sassafras, eh sisyphus?
    I see the blossoms broke and wet after the rain
    Little sister, he will be back again
    I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain
    Spiders ghosts hang soaked and dangelin'
    Silently from all the blooming cherry trees
    In tiny nooses, safe from everyone
    - nothing but a nuisance; gone now, dead and done
    Be a woman, be a woman!
    Though we felt the spray of the waves
    We decided to stay till the tide rose too far
    We weren't afraid, cause we know what you are
    And you know that we know what you are
    Awful atoll
    O, incalculable indiscreetness and sorrow!
    Bawl, bellow:
    Sibyl sea-cow, all done up in a bow
    Toddle and roll;
    Teeth an impalpable bit of leather
    While yarrow, heather and hollyhock
    Awkwardly molt along the shore
    Are you mine?
    My heart?
    Mine anymore?
    Stay with me for awhile
    That's an awfully real gun
    I know life will lay you down
    As the lightning has lately done
    Failing this, failing this,
    Follow me, my sweetest friend
    To see what you anointed in pointing your gun there
    Lay it down! Nice and slow!
    There is nowhere to go, save up
    Up where the light, undiluted, is weaving in a drunk dream
    At the sight of my baby, out back:
    Back on the patio watching the bats bring night in
    - while, elsewhere, estuaries of wax-white
    Wend, endlessly, towards seashores unmapped
    Last week our picture window produced a half-word
    Heavy and hollow, hit by a brown bird
    We stood and watched her gape like a rattlesnake
    And pant and labour over every intake
    I said a sort of prayer for some sort of rare grace
    Then thought I ought to take her to a higher place
    Said: "dog nor vulture nor cat shall toy with you
    And though you die, bird, you will have a fine view"
    Then in my hot hand
    She slumped her sick weight
    We tramped through the poison oak
    Heartbroke and inchoate
    The dogs were snapping
    So you cuffed their collars
    While I climbed the tree-house
    Then how I hollered!
    Cause she'd lain, as still as a stone, in my palm, for a lifetime or two
    Then, saw the treetops, cocked her head and up and flew
    (while, back in the world that moves, often
    According to the hoarding of these clues
    Dogs still run roughly around
    Little tufts of finch-down)
    The cities we passed were a flickering wasteland
    But his hand in my hand made them hale and harmless
    While down in the lowlands the crops are all coming;
    We have everything
    Life is thundering blissful towards death
    In a stampede of his fumbling green gentleness
    You stopped by, I was all alive
    In my doorway, we shucked and jived
    And when you wept, I was gone:
    See, I got gone when I got wise
    But I can't with certainty say we survived
    Then down, and down
    And down, and down
    And down, and deeper
    Stoke without sound
    The blameless flames
    You endless sleeper
    Through fire below, and fire above, and fire within
    Sleeped through the things that couldn't have been if you hadn't have been
    And when the fire moves away
    Fire moves away, son
    Why would you say
    I was the last one?
    All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
    Take my bones, I don't need none
    Cold, cold cupboard, lord, nothing to chew on!
    Suck all day on a cherry stone
    Dig a little hole, not three inches round
    Spit your pit in the hole in the ground
    Weep upon the spot for the starving of me!
    Till up grow a fine young cherry tree
    Well when the bough breaks, what'll you make for me?
    A little willow cabin to rest on your knee
    What'll I do with a trinket such as this?
    Think of your woman, who's gone to the west
    But I'm starving and freezing in my measly old bed!
    Then i'll crawl across the salt flats to stroke your sweet head
    Come across the desert with no shoes on!
    I love you truly, or I love no-one
    Fire
    Moves
    Away
    Fire moves away, son
    Why would you say
    I was the last one?
    Clear the room! There's a fire, a fire, a fire
    Get going, and I'm going to be right behind you
    And if the love of a woman or two, dear,
    Couldn't move you to such heights, then all I can do
    Is do, my darling, right by you
