To Live is to Fly by Townes Van Zandt

Won't say I love you, babe,
Won't say I need you, babe,
But I'm gonna get you babe
And I will not do you wrong.
Living's mostly wasting time
And I'll waste my share of mine
But it never feels too good,
So let's don't take too long.
You're soft as glass
And I'm a gentle man;
We got the sky to talk about
And the earth to lie upon.

Days, up and down they come
Like rain on a congadrum
Forget most, remember some
But don't turn none away.
Everything is not enough
And nothin' is too much to bear.
Where you been is good and gone
All you keep is the getting there.

To live is to fly
Low and high,
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes.

Goodbye to all my friends

It's time to go again
Think of all the poetry
And the pickin' down the line
I'll miss the system here
The bottom's low
And the treble's clear
But it don't pay to think too much
On things you leave behind.
I will be gone
But it won't be long
I will be a'bringin' back the melodies
And rhythm that I find.


We all got holes to fill
Them holes are all that's real.
Some fall on you like a storm,
Sometimes you dig your own.
The choice is yours to make,
Time is yours to take;
Some sail upon/dive into the sea,
Some toil upon the stone.


To live is to fly
Low and high,
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes;


Shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eyes.

Corporate Boys

Corporate Boys by Five O'Clock Heroes

Come line and mount on the pavement
No need to find a replacement
Heart flaws become just the usual
Soft porn his late night perusal
The lines are touched with a finger
So close it keeps you believing
Then pull back into position
And thrown back into the system...

How I love my life
Yes I'm sure i'll be back home by nine
And I'm oh so sure
That my money's clean and mind is pure!

Corporate boys
They don't have no time
Early morning start
Then back home in bed by nine
Corporate boys
They don't hesitate
Early morning start
Then back home they sit and wait

They play upon their computers
Those numbers mean nothing to us
Then out for lunch and a cocktail
The boss wants attention to detail
Back home there's nobody waiting
No girl no family meeting
You sit down and order a take out
You eat, drink, you talk, and you veg out...

How I love my life
Yes I'm sure i'll be back home by nine
And I'm oh so sure
That my money's clean and mind is pure!

Corporate boys
They don't have no time
Early morning start
Then back home in bed by nine
Corporate boys
They don't hesitate
Early morning start
Then back home they sit and wait

And if you feel like you can't get no-one
Just turn it off and switch it back on
Turn turn back on

Wooh!

Corporate boys
They don't have no time
Early morning start
Then back home in bed by nine
Corporate boys
They don't hesitate
Early morning start
Then back home they sit and wait
