Q: What’s hard for you?

A: Mostly I straddle reality and the imagination.

My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket.

My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.

Math is hard. Reading a map. Following orders. Carpentry. Electronics. Plumbing. Remembering things correctly. Straight lines. Sheet rock.

Finding a safety pin. Patience with others.

Ordering in Chinese.

Stereo instructions in German.

Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd) - Bob Dylan Blues

Got the Bob Dylan blues
And the Bob Dylan Shoes
And my clothes and my hair's in a mess
But you know I just couldn't care less

Goin' to write me a song
Bout' what's right and what's wrong
Bout' god and my god and all that
Quiet while I make like a cat

Cause I'm a poet
Don't ya know it
And the wind, you can blow it
Cause I'm Mr. Dylan, the king
And I'm free as a bird on the wing

Roam from town to town
Guess I get people down
But I don't care too much about that
Cause my gut and my wallet are fat

Make a whole lotta dough
But I deserve it though
I've got soul and a good heart of gold
So I'll sing about war in the cold

Well I sing about dreams
And I rhymes it with seems
Cause it seems that my dream always means
That I can prophesy all kinds of things

Well the guy that digs me
Should try hard to see
That he buys all my discs and a hat
And when I'm in town go see that

I might have lips nightmares tonight!

Zappa did it first! but this is pretty cool too..

No make up is always better!

Either I forgot how to put my make up on or I just look better without it!

Crippled Black Phoenix - You Take The Devil Out Of Me

Come rise you greater men
Still of mind and dark within
They won’t come, they won’t face the question.

A small meal, the meat of hog
Just pay the man then fetch my dog
They won’t come, they won’t face the question

Now he’s southside
A long way down
As i think about it now he’s
On the other part of town
His prayers are light
His form is down
As i think about it now he’s
On the other part of town.

There’s markings on her hand
So her lover understands what working
On the sounds without her around will allow him, will allow him
Will allow him

Take the knife, the folly blade (there’s markings on her hand so her lover understands)
Cut inside, scorch your way (what working on the sounds without her around will allow him, will allow him)
These tracks are no places to play (will allow him, will allow him)
Pray move aside
Please step away

Take the knife, the folly blade (there’s markings on her hand so her lover understands)
Cut inside, scorch your way (what working on the sounds without her around will allow him, will allow him)
And i will never never never fall
And i will never never never fall

I’m followed by a mighty sage (there’s markings on her hand so her lover understands)
He whispers to me night and day (what working on the sounds without her around will allow him, will allow him)
That i will never never never fall
That i will never never never fall

The Good, The Bad & The Queen - 07 - The Bunting Song (Live at St. Denis)

Τρυπες - Δεν χωρας πουθενα

Αν δε χωράς μέσα σε μια άθλια πατρίδα
Αν δε σου φτάνει μια ελπίδα τυφλή
Αν δε χώρας μέσα σε μια ονειροπαγίδα
Αν δε χώρας σε μια αγκαλιά φυλακή

Τότε τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα
παντού περισσεύεις και παντού ξεψυχάς
Τότε τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα
δεν χώρας πουθενά δε χώρας πουθενά

Τότε τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα
παντού περισσεύεις και παντού ξεψυχάς
Τότε τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα, τι κρίμα
δεν χώρας πουθενά πουθενά πουθενά

Αν δε χώρας μέσα σ’ εν’ άνοστο αστείο
Αν δε σου φτάνει μια σκληρή προσευχή
Αν δε χώρας μέσα σ’ ένα ψυχοπορνείο
Αν δε χώρας σ’ ένα σπασμένο κορμί
