Second skin - The Chameleons
And of course, lots of swedish songs. Nothing you heaard about though.
Your country is a wonderful place It pales my Belgrade into disgrace To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable I think I'll go there when it gets seasonal
* Maya in love with England 
Got me so down, I got me a headache
(Frank Black "Headache", (I'm skiving off work with flu))
O waitrix, o waitrix won't you sit on my face eatin' s'not cheatin' hell, it aint no disgrace --Big Dick Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys

Gang Of Four-Paralysed
Blinking.......paralysed......flat on my back
History's the reason.......I'm washed up!!!!
My ambition's have come to nothing...what I wanted now seems just a waste of time.......I can't make out what was going wrong.....I was good at what I did.......The crow's come home to roost, and I'm the dupe!!!
That, and The Fall......the mighty Container Drivers.
This is not their town Big cigars come out of the ground Sweat on their way down F. Jack's a distant relation Communists are just part time workers And there's no thanks From the loading bay ranks
These just mean that work has sucked, big time, this week; being short handed has meant some longer days than normal.
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
(courtesy of a dropped car engine fluid spill on aisle eight which gave off some fumes)
Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone
:barf:
My head's clear now, thankfully...except for that damn seven-foot dragon that keeps killing my buzz

was it "Baby Got Back"?
nothing that superficial. actually, sam cooke said it best in 'a change gonna come':
it's been too hard living, but i'm afraid to die i don't know what's up there beyond the sky it's been a long time coming but i know a change is gonna come
it will. it will.
p.s. hannett: i can't see your avatar. why? when? where? who? how? the contortion reference has me intrigued....
never mind...i see it now. :D
Speak of the Satan the site that was hosting it just went under

This morning it's "When routine bites hard, and ambitions are low"
But this afternoon when I drive home from work "You have the brightest future, writing songs on your computer"

Me too.
I was lucky enough to catch James Chance live in London a couple of months ago. The man still rocks like few others.

Not that I was literally "sabotaged", but I did feel under pressure when I realized I had yet to file my student loans request (I'll get it sorted this weekend, no worries)

cant remember who did this song
Jermaine Stewart. Ironically, he died of AIDS.
To answer the question, Cabaret Voltaire - Nag Nag Nag
Geez, another day of coping with disabled company vehicles and dealing with people whose IQ barely makes it into double digits, obviously time for some more Gang Of Four.
A Man With A Good Car from Hard and Muscle For Brains from Songs Of The Free. They've been running through my mind all day...

Are you 'in love with a married man' too?
(BTW - This isn't a proposition!)
Mine has to be 'Run Wild'... sorry, to choose something so positive, but theres a lot of change going on in my life, most of it very positive...
Turn your eyes for me(New Order) I am human and I need to be love(The Smith) I am a antichrist! I am a anarchist!(Sex Pistols)
non,rien de rien,non, je ne regrette rien (Piaf)
you've got nothing to regret, not my favorite song, but it's my philosophy…
I sometimes feel like this:
Standing at the machine every day for all my life I’m used to do it and I need it It’s the only thing I want It’s just a rush, push, cash
Rush, push, rush, push, rush, push, rush, push Standing at the machine every day for all my life I’m used to do it and I need it It’s the only thing I want
What's a good lyric for when your hard drive crashes? That'd be the one for me today (typing this at work right now)>
The KLF - "Build a Fire"
"I hum this tune to all the girls I've known / Should I care about the chances I've blown?"
for my life that's easy. the last one (sam cooke) was situational. these words suit me perfectly:
'i'm goin' where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain. goin' where the weather suits my clothes.'

Curtis Mayfield.......
No Thing On Me (Cocaine Song)
I've met many people over the years And in my opinion I have found that People are the same everywhere They have the same fears Shed similar tears Die in so many years The oppressed seem to have suffered the most In every continent - coast to coast Now our lives are in the hands of The Pusherman We break it all down In hopes that you might understand Don't make no profit for The Man
I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me
There's somethin' kinda funny How The Man take your money He's shrewd as he can be In such a way you'll never see It's a terrible thing inside When your natural high has died The weaker turn to dope And put all aside their hope
I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me
Twinkling twinkling grains They do all sorts of things While your inner mind is pleased Your conscience is only teased...
More and more you feed Until you grow another need Playing fantasy You have no reality
I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me
Sit down and take a listen This may be something that you're missin' I know your mind, You want it funky But you don't have to be no junkie
Just be glad you've got your own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The Man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own So glad that I can see My life's a natural high The man can't put no thing on me
Sure is funky Sure is funky I ain't no junkie I ain't no junkie
Sure is funky Sure is funky I ain't no junkie I ain't no junkie
I'm so glad I've got my own
Dermo.........SP
I'm writing this to say in a gentle way, thank you but no I will live my life as I... For whether you stay or you stray an inbuilt guilt catches up with you and as it comes around to your place at 5 am wakes you up and it laughs in your face
The Sound of Settling by Death Cab For Cutie.
I've got a hunger Twisting my stomach into knots That my tongue was tied off
My brain's repeating "if you've got an impulse let it out" But they never make it past my mouth.
Under Pressure - Queen
My new boss seems to think I'm as much a workaholic as him...boy will he be surprised when he gets to know the "real" me 
I don't know what makes me stay The city life just ain't the same There's something wrong with kids today I blame the parents anyway There's no hope No one to trust I can't cope It's obvious Please don't take my drugs away I'm gonna give them up someday
It may look to the untrained eye I'm sitting on my arse all day...
I Spy - Pulp
(and it may look the same for the trained eye as well
)
