Culture Club - It’s a Miracle

Dance with the counterfeit
The plastic smiles and micro heat
I’ll meet you there, I’ll meet you there

Run to the edge of town
Where Hollywood lay its footprints down
Monroe was there but do you really care

It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle

It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle

And dreams are made of emotion

Malcolm McLaren - Soweto

All the men shall Boogie and Bark
Never be afraid of the Dark
I’d rather trust in the heart of a killer

Than believe all the lies in a scholar’s brain

I am strange and I have been reckless

But I’ve never been insane


[Larkin Grimm - Link In Your Chain]

Bob Marley - Natural Mystic

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear

This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie

One and all got to face reality now
Though I've tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible to go living through the past
Don't tell no lie

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear

Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air.

Pile - Don’t Touch Anything:

Those eyes
Swam pretty deep
Let my god
Play referee
But he only speaks
In Japanese

Pile - Leaning on a Wheel:

Getting in our own way
And blaming traffic
And a shitty plan
And other things that are assumed you understand

Head down
And eyes peeled
I wouldn’t call it driving, more like leaning on a wheel

Not happy
And not in love
But let's have a baby to save the marriage that we made up

It's getting in our own way
