When i was at Schoolies Week in Surfers' Paradise there was a busker on Cavill Avenue who sang this. He ended up with about 100 schoolies standing around him singing. Scared the crap out of the poor guy, but he would have made a lot of money A great aussie song. Dumb Things- Paul Kelly Welcome, strangers, to the show I'm the one who should be lying low Saw the knives out, turned my back Heard the train coming, stayed out on the track In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things Caught the fever, heard the tune Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon Started howling, made no sense Thought my friends would rush to my defence In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things And I get all your good advice It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice I see the knives out, I turn my back I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things I melted wax to fix my wings I've done all the dumb things I threw my hat into the ring I've done all the dumb things I thought that I just had to sing I've done all the dumb things.

Someone's in a Rent mood again...
Over The Moon[/u] Idina MenzelLast night, I had a dream I found myself in a desert called Cyberland It was hot My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty Out of the obice walked a cow, Elsey I asked if she had anything to drink she said Only thing to do is just over the moon They've closed everything real down Like barns and trophs and... Preformin' Spaces And replaced it all with lies and rules and Virtual Life... But there is a way out OOOOOOO Only thing to do is jump over the moon I gotta get outta here It's like i'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicidal mickey mouse I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta find a way... to jump over the moon Only thing to do is jump over the moon Then a little bulldog entered His name we have learned was Benny And although he once had principles he abonded to live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution 1..2..3 That's bull he said Ever since the cow took off with the fiddle that cows been jumpy And the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and elopped And she had trouble with the milk and the mood ever since maybe it was a female thing But who'd wanna leave cyberland anyways! Bulls ain't so bad The dish and the spoon for instance their down on their luck they come knockin' on my doghouse door and i said "Not in my backward utensils, go back to china!" (bideebong) The only way out is up, elsey whispered to me A leap of faith Still Thirsty?? Parched HAve some milk As i lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen utters and sucked the sweetest milk i have ever tasted! Climb on board she said and as a harvest moon rose over cyberland we reared back we sprang into a gallop leaping out of orbit i awoke singing OOOOOO Only thing to do Only think to do is jump Only thing to do is jump Over the moon Only thing to do is jump Over the moon OVer the moon Over the ...[/color]

James Blunt Wisemen
She said to me, "Go steady on me. Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said? When they came down from Heaven, Smoked nine 'til seven, All the shit that they could find, But they couldn't escape from you, Couldn't be free of you, And now they know there's no way out, And they're really sorry now for what they've done, They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
Look who's alone now, It's not me. It's not me. Those three Wise Men, They've got a semi by the sea. Got to ask yourself the question, Where are you now?
Really sorry now, They weren't to know. They got caught up in your talent show, With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress, Who just judge each other and try to impress, But they couldn't escape from you, Couldn't be free of you, And now they know there's no way out, And they're really sorry now for what they've done, They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.
Look who's alone now, It's not me. It's not me. Those three Wise Men, They've got a semi by the sea. Got to ask yourself the question, Where are you now?

Evie (Part 3)- Stevie Wright
When I woke this morning I was king of the world Longing to know if we had a boy or a girl Yes I had a feeling As proud as any man Could ever hope to be
Without any woman I don't know where I am It seems so unreal That I just can't understand With each passing minute The one that I love Is slipping away from me
Before I know it I'm losing you (yeah yeah) Losing you Losing you (I'm losing you)
Before I know it I'm loseing you (yeah yeah) Losing you (ow) Losing you
There's no need to worry I can still hear them say (still hear them say) For every minute every hour every day (every day) So just you relax Take the weight off your back There's nothing you can do
For how could they know this simple thing could go wrong For once in a million It just happens along (happens along) I can't understand it I can't think at all I don't know what to do
Before I know it I'm losing you (oh oh) Losing you Losing you (I'm losing you)
Before I know it I'm losing you (losing you) Losing you (ow) Losing you
Yeah
I'm losing you
I can't believe this is happening I can't believe this is real I don't believe I can take anymore I can't carry on, no, I can't carry on
When I had the faith Well I'd go down on my knees Will somebody help me Won't somebody please So tell me I'm sleeping Just tell me I'm dreaming I wake up again
Oh Mr. Man
Before I know it I'm losing you (losing you) Losing you Losing you (I'm losing you) Before I know it I'm losing you (oh yeah)

Visited this place in New York City a few days ago.
Strawberry Fields Forever The Beatles
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low. That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream. I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever.

Another Girl Another Planet blink-182
Always flirt with death I look ill, but I don't care about it I can face your threats Stand up straight & tall and shout about it
I think I'm on another world with you I'm on another planet with you
You always get under my skin I don't find it irritating You always play to win I don't need rehabilitating
Another girl, another planet Another girl, another planet
Space travel's in my blood And there ain't nothing I can do about it Long journeys wear me out but I know I can't live without it
Another girl is loving you now Another planet, is holding you down Another planet

Okay, time to breathe some live back into this thread.
Perfect Situation Weezer
What's the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation I let love down the drain. There's the pitch, slow and straight. All I have to do is swing and I'm a hero, but I'm a zero.
Hungry nights, once again Now it's getting unbelievable. 'Cause I could not have it better, But I just can't get no play From the girls, all around As they search the night for someone to hold onto. And I just pass through...
Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Get your hands off the girl, Can't you see that she belongs to me? And I don't appreciate this excess company. Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has And so she starts to wander... Can you blame her?
Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Tell me there's a logic out there. Leading me to better prepare For the day that something really special might come. Tell me there's some hope for me. I don't wanna be lonely For the rest of my days on the earth. Oh..!!
[solo]
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

One Hand I My Pocket Alanis Morissette
I'm broke but I'm happy I'm poor but I'm kind I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah I'm high but I'm grounded I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby What it all comes down to Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is giving a high five I feel drunk but I'm sober I'm young and I'm underpaid I'm tired but I'm working, yeah I care but I'm restless I'm here but I'm really gone I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to Is that everything's gonna be quite alright I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is flicking a cigarette And what it all comes down to Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is giving the peace sign I'm free but I'm focused I'm green but I'm wise I'm hard but I'm friendly baby I'm sad but I'm laughing I'm brave but I'm chickenshit I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
And what it all boils down to Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is playing the piano And what it all comes down to my friends Is that everything's just fine fine fine I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Wings Of A Butterfly HIM
Heaven ablaze in our eyes We're standing still in time The blood on our hands is the wine We offer as sacrifice
Come on, and show them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul
This endless mercy mile We're crawling side by side With hell freezing over in our eyes Gods kneel before our crime
Come on lets show, them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) Don’t let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) For your soul
Come on, and show them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) Don’t let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your soul

Fake Plastic Trees Radiohead
Her Green plastic watering can For her fake chinese rubber plant In fake plastic earth. That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plants. Just to get rid of itself. And It Wears Her Out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out.
She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns. He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins. And It Wears Him Out, it wears him out It wears him out, it wears him out.
She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My Fake Plastic Love. But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run And It Wears Me Out, it wears me out It wears me out, it wears me out.
And if I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted, All the time, all the time, ohhh... ohh...

I haven't heard this song since I was still at school but I've had it stuck in my head for last day or so. I'm trying to see if I can find a copy somewhere.
Bittersweet Symphony The Verve
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life Try to make ends meet You're a slave to money then you die I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet yeah,
No change, I can change I can change, I can change But I'm here in my mold I am here in my mold But I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold No, no, no, no, no
Well I never pray But tonight I'm on my knees yeah I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can change I can change, I can change But I'm here in my mold I am here in my mold And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold No, no, no, no, no I can't change I can't change
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life Try to make ends meet Try to find some money then you die I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places where all the things meet yeah
You know I can change, I can change I can change, I can change But I'm here in my mold I am here in my mold And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold No, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold no, no, no, no, no, I can't change Can't change my body, no, no, no
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down Been down Ever been down Ever been down Ever been down Ever been down Have you ever been down? Have you've ever been down?

The Talking Heads – (Excerpt from) Crosseyed and Painless:
Facts are simple and facts are straight, Facts are lazy and facts are late, Facts all come with points of view, Facts don’t do what I want them to, Facts just twist the truth around, Facts are living turned inside out, Facts are getting the best of them, Facts are nothing on the face of things.
I have always reveled in this little anaphorical riff, especially because I heard it for the first time when I was reading Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, one of the famous lines of which is “The world is the totality of facts, not of things." Wittgenstein's sense of "fact" was, of course, different from David Byrne's, but conflating them in this juxtaposition conduces to a wonderful, if pessimistic, irony.

Joker and the Thief-WolfmotherAnother great song by a great Aussie band . Worlds most catchy guitar solo, too. I said the joker is a wanted man, He makes his way all across the land, See him sifting through the sand, So I'll tell you all the story, About the joker and the thief in the night, Always laughing in the midst of power, Are we living in the final hour? There is always sweet in the sour, We are not goin' home, Can you see the joker flying over, As she's standing in the field of clover, Watching out everyday, I wonder what would happen if he took her away, What you see well you might not know, You get the feelin' comin' after the glow, The vagabond is moving slow, So I'll tell you all the story, 'bout the joker and the thief in the night, All the people that he see in the night, Hold their dreams up to the light, The wildebeast is searching for sight, We are not goin' home, Can you see the joker flying over, As she's standing in the field of clover, Watching out everyday, I wonder what would happen if he took her away, Tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief, I said, I'll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief, I said, I'll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief, In the night
