name that tune...

male vocalist…dreamy but glum song

the leaves are turning colors sun is sinking down…i really don’t mind the change…you used to hold my hand so tight…running and laughing through meadows of moonlit night…but a dark cloud comes around…and the rain is falling down…i really don’t mind the rain but day after day it seems to come my way

Trance/electronic song that repeats over and over again:

blow your house down…blow your house down…blow your house down…so blow already…so blow already…blow your house down

Trance/electronic song that repeats over and over again:

is everybody ready…is everybody ready…is everybody ready…alright now here we go…what power do you bring here…what power do you bring here…mine

Poor recording of this one…can barely make out any words. my guess: it’s called “name that sin”

name that sin…name that sin…before i catch my breath …[ ] on the door…name that sin…name that sin…name that sin…everything is stripped and torn and hidden in the mine…name that sin…name that sin

female vocalist…powerful song

i see a weeping man by the sea…i hear a thousand telephones ringing…i smell the scent of a rotting geraneum…i see the madman who shakes [ ]…please help me…i’m so empty…i’m so empty…tired of visionless searching…i see a weeping man by the sea…I hear a thousand telephones ringing…

Great trumpet fanfare “in the mix”…really bizarre song

they stole my food stamps and sold them to the rats…i tried to get out of my car and honk for help…but the snakes are inside here with the cockaroaches…i ain’t been to bed for a week and i know that my wife is sleeping with the b…well sure mr president where can i get a job…and i know that my wife’s bee sleeping with the b.

powerful female vocal

violation breaking my will…breaking her flesh…innocent girl…violation beauty is waking…violation animal fever…into the fire…[ ] the scream…pretty boy never follow the rules…pretty boy you’re the fire of the earth…the cruelty of love now in babylon’s birth…you’re out in the nightlife catching the [ ]…flesh is the prison…flesh is the game…the kingdom of spirit is lying in wait…

classis new wave song

[b]it was a cold day…I was sad today…i had nothing to do…so i thought about you…and then a friend said let’s go for a walk…just to clear the air…and i thought about you…on the way down we stopped at your house…but you sent me away…what could i do…i couldn’t believe all the things you say…you say it’s the truth…you say it’s the truth…clocks keep ticking…days keep passing

Then endless refrains of “without you”[/b]

sweet sweet honey sweet you’re every moving target…you turn me on and that’s for sure…i give you all my good time love…i won’t run away cause you’re sweet…honey sweet…baby bay don’t hold back…tonight you won’t need no substitute…honey sweet…you’re a sheer delight…can i shoot the moon tonight…with your [ ] glasses

male vocalist

i met my true love by the mouth of the river…we got through talking…and I thought I could love her…she gave me whiskey and i tried to forget…but i could not be free…i’m looking for the king of love…i left the country and came to the city…they tried to break me and i filled up with pity…though my spirir grew stronger…and the big world keeps turning…keeps turning…keeps turning…we could be free…you and me…if we could find the king of love…the king of love

i was looking for a friend of mine …yeah, looking for a friend of mine…out of doors the houses looked the same…i walked round and round…they nailed me to a tree…trying to find a clue…trying to find a way to get out…i was looking for a friend of mine…no place to start…no place to go…and i was looking for a friend of mine

pins and needles walk back from another bad dream…study chinese diagrams of the pressure points…my areas of tenderness…touch sense…touch sense…touch sensitivity…electronic waves and razor blades…sodium pentathal…touch sense…touch sense…touch sensitivity…I can’t see…I can’t feel…I can’t smell…I can’t tell…I can’t tell…

this has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written…
here are the lyrics in full

[b]
oscar tio was a friend of mine
92 years old he sent me a valentine
oscar tio passed away a few years ago flat on his back
he never cried…he never sighed
and with his last departing breath
he said he had a mighty fine time

if i could make you see me through my eyes
we look at the [ ] the rest of our lives
if i could make you feel the way i do when i see you…

some people never laugh
some people never cry
most people go through all their lives you know lord they never, never even try

oscar tio was a friend of mine
92 years old he sent me a valentine
oscar tio passed away a few years ago flat on his back
he never cried…he never sighed
and with his last departing breath
he said he had a mighty fine time[/b]

this is one of those songs [like judy collins’s the coming of the roads] in which the music and the lyrics are achingly in sync

don’t let me down…down let me down…i know you won’t see me…but don’t let me down…the emptiness of a lonely room…don’t let me down…from the darkened page…strangers [ ]…i know you won’t see me…but don’t let me down…i know you won’t see me…but don’t let me down

hypnotic trance song…female vocalist intoning…

stop killing stop shooting stop burning stop looting

and then at the end we hear

baa…baa…baa

like sheep

hardcore tune

i was small…the children cruel…they used to beat me after school…they named me bator and monkey toy…i hid myself from the hate of man…loving magazines in the can…but now that i’ve turned 23…the whole damn world’s gonna answer to me…i take it out…i take it on the run…living life just ain’t no fun…i got the gun and i’m the man…i got the gun and i am sam

soaring female vocal

don’t you know…do you care…don’t you see…is it fair…cross the sky…follow me…across the sea…to the sun…don’t you know…don’t you need…don’t you care…is it fair…

male vocalist…folk song

on monday i was arrested…on tuesday i was tried…the judge found me guilty…i hung my head and cried…man i cried…i asked the judge what might be my time…he said a pick and shovel…way down in the mine…i said to the judge man i ain’t ever been here before…he said i’ll give you 99 years…you won’t be back no more…my daddy he was a bad man…i’m a bad man too…the reason i’m a bad man there ain’t nothing else to do

male vocalist … less a song than an ethereal voice speaking over a recurring musical phrase

a couple of weeks ago i was downtown…i saw this amazing woman…our eyes locked together and i knew something was happening…by the time i parked my car though she was gone…i never could find her…a sad ending
