Nowadays is it more like this?
This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
Something like that.

Oh Jolly Whalley Range, a good mate of mine lived there and I used to spend nights drinking and taking other stimulants in Manchester then crash at his place late 1980's - it was one of the few places that you knew wouldn't be broken into as he had a pet Python which he used to release when he wasn't in the Flat and posted the fact on the front door.
I used to go to sleep utterly pissed or stoned with this 3 foot snake (perhaps predictably called Monty) curled around my forearm as it liked a bit of warmth.
My life has obviously calmed down a bit since then. BTW he was a Medical Student and has since become a Surgeon!

"And when we're in your scholarly room, who will swallow whom?"
One of my favourite Talking Heads songs.
Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, and so much fun.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
When this kiss is over it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun.
Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.
Everyone is trying to get to the bar.

Possibly Byrnes finest hour. I have a sweet spot for Cross-eyed and Painless though.

Bon Iver "Re:stacks". Pure poetry. For me, the lyrics are about the acceptance of someone ceasing to love you, but making the decision to carry on loving them regardless:
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realisation
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realisation
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me

"Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have the chance,
Let's face the music and dance."
Also,
"Dance with me,I want my arms about you ,
The charms about you will carry me through ,
To heaven........"
And
"We're the team from Brighton,
Hove - by Jove ! That's us.
We're always fair,we never swear but now it's hit or bust"
Let's face the music and dance."

I used to listen to this when I lived in a refuge after leaving my violent boyfriend.
Jamelia - "Thank You"
The fights, those nights
I tried to pretend it don't hurt
The way, I prayed
Someday that you would love me
Really, completely
Just how I wanted it to be
But no, so wrong
Can't believe I stayed with you so long
You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah
For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you
My head, near dead
Just the way you wanted it
My soul, stone cold
Cos I was under you're control
So young, so dumb
Knew just how to make me succumb
But I understand
To make yourself feel like a man
You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah
For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you
You coulda had it all babe
It coulda been so right
I woulda given you everything
Morning through night
Yeah, you taught me some lessons
Those are my blessings
That won't happen again
Thank you
[Chorus till end]

"Vegetable Man"
In yellow shoes I get the blues
Though I walk the streets with my plastic feet
With my blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight
But oh oh my haircut looks so bad
Vegetable man how are you?
So I've changed my dear, and I find my knees,
And I covered them up with the latest cut,
And my pants and socks all point in a box,
They don't make long of my nylon socks,
The watch, black watch
My watch with a black face
And a big pin, a little hole,
And all the lot is what I got,
It's what I wear, it's what you see,
It must be me, it's what I am,
Vegetable man.
I've been looking all over the place for a place for me,
But it ain't anywhere, it just ain't anywhere.
Vegetable man, vegetable man,
He's the kind of person, you just gonna see him if you can,
Vegetable man.

For a dancer- Jackson Browne:
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But you'll never know
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But you'll never know

Sugar man - won't you hurry - coz I'm tired of these scenes.
For a blue coin - won't you bring back all those colours to my dreams.
Silver magic ships you carry -
Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane.
Sugar man you're the answer that makes my questions disappear.
Rodrieguez.
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted.

Peter Gabriel - with help from kate Bush - Don't Give up.
I was unemployed about 20 years ago, doing job applications on our kitchen table on black Tuesday, the day when Norman Lamont announced increases in our interest rates about 5 times in the morning and then we eventually withdrew from the Exchange rate mechanism. I was sitting there thinking "when on earth will I ever get another job"
Then this came on the radio. Every time I have heard it since, which is quite often, it has brought a tear to my eye. The song is about someone who seems to be contemplating suicide, and I was never anywhere near that stage, but the sentiments expressed meant something to me before that day, and even more since:
Don't Give up, we're proud of who you are.
Don't give up, you still have us.
The full lyrics are~:
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
