Join the dance

[Gnome]

[SIZE=4][FONT=Garamond][COLOR=cyan]Can you tell me where my country lies?,
Said the unifaun to his true love's eyes
It lies with me, cried the Queen of Maybe
For her merchandise, he traded in his prize

Paper late!, cried a voice in the crowd
Old man dies! The note he left was signed old father Thames,
It seems he's drowned
Selling England by the pound

Citizens of Hope and Glory
Time goes by
It's 'the time of your life'
Easy now, sit you down
Chewing through your Wimpy dreams
They eat, without a sound
Digesting England by the pound

Young man says you are what you eat - eat well
Old man says you are what you wear - wear well
You know what you are, you don't give a damn
Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham

The captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance...
Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould
Follow on! Till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

There's a fat old lady outside the saloon
Laying out the credit cards she plays fortune
The deck is uneven right from the start
All of their hands are playing apart

The captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance...
Follow on! A round Table-talking down we go
You're the show!
Off we go with - You play the hobbyhorse
I'll play the fool
We'll tease the bull
Ringing round and loud, loud and round
Follow on! With a twist of the world we go
Follow on! Till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, Collins

[Gnome]

Ok bad use of typography, try again.

I use the black background here, what does everybody else use?

[MamaBush]

black....best color in the world, next to dark brown that is

[QUOTE=zokah]make it bigger then - hold down the Ctrl key and turn the wheel on your mouse[/QUOTE]


I had no idea you could do that...nice....

i use the black background too

[zokah]

It even works with IE
Ravvers put the blue background in for me both here & compounds :D


[COLOR=Black]now I know that I can use secret text[/COLOR] ;)

[xen]

hehe...cheeky

[MamaBush]

I like the contrast of the black background with white letters....much easier to read


hey...have any of you used the rainbow colored background that Zokah had installed here?

[zokah]

yet another old skool SPF trick

[xen]

:confused:

[zokah]

:p :p :p

[Gnome]

[COLOR=yellow][SIZE=5][FONT=Book Antiqua]The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before.
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen,
Though many times theyve seen the way to leave.

He rides majestic
Past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy,
To see reflected there
The trees, the sky, the lily fair,
The scene of death is lying just below.

The mountain cuts off the town from view,
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill.
Let it be revealed.
A waterfall, his madrigal.
An inland sea, his symphony.

Undinal songs
Urge the sailors on
Till lured by sirens cry.

Now as the river dissolves in sea,
So neptune has claimed another soul.
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen,
Until the shepherd leads his flock away.

The sands of time were eroded by
The river of constant change.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, Collins[/QUOTE]singing group? :D

[Gnome]

Genesis, the old lineup

Peter gabriel the high lord doppelganger of world music

Tony Banks Mike Rutherford (Of Mike and the Mechanics fame) oh shit, I forgot Steve hackett, the guitarist, and Phil Collins, who is a wholy owned subsidiary of Disney®


I love the Ancient Genesis tunes.

[zokah]

they did make some reasonable musak but it was way to "easy listening" for me in that era

[Gnome]

the two camps of progressive rock back in the day was Yes or Genesis. King Crimson was in a league all their own.

I just adore the textural quality of the old Genesis. Gabriel was pretty far out.

But that stuff always needed to be tempered with a good dose of Saxon, Sabbath, and Motor Head :lol:

[xen]

I was a big genesis fan.....they rocked!!

[zokah]

But I was into King Crimson. Are you the 21st CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN?
Yes, I'm a Bill Burford fan :D

What sort of music would the man born 64 years ago today be making?
R.I.P. Jimi

I did learn an interesting trivia tidbit today - he toured with "The Monkees" as the opening act on their 1967 US tour. He quit it cos he couldn't stand all the screaming teenyboppers but what would they have thought of him? :D

[Gnome]

yeow! 60's teeny zombies! :scared:

they elevated Donovan to hippy herodom for fucks sake!

I think Jimi would be doing a lot of producing if he was still around, but I wonder how the pop, hip-hop, and mall rock would have influenced him, if at all.

Or would he be jet setting with the NY, Paris, LA heroin chic crowd?

[zokah]

I think Jimi would have liked hip-hop, he would have made it great

[Gnome]

yea better than that Lenny Kravitz in my estimation

[zokah]

shit, even xen would do better hip hop than kravitz

[MamaBush]

Kravitz doesn't do hip hop.....you're so stupid sometimes


GAH!!!

[Gnome]

but he is heavily influenced by hip hop, pop, and funk

[zokah]

[QUOTE=MamaBush]Kravitz doesn't do hip hop.....you're so stupid sometimes


GAH!!![/QUOTE]

I know he doesn't thats why xen would be better.
Are you sure you ain't a blonde?

[MamaBush]

*checks pubic hair*

NO...I AINT BLONDE, YA ASSWIPE

[Gnome]

damn.

I thought you was all shaved down there.

[zokah]

and only a blonde would check their pubes for haircolor after shaving :D

[MamaBush]

I don't shave the entire thing bald, ya dimwit.

I leaves just a little around the.....what the fuck am I doing explaining myself to you?



oh, and SHUT UP ZOKAH

[zokah]

yep, definitely sounds like a blonde
but if you don't wanna explain you could just post a pic

[Gnome]

you can tell a lot about a girl if she uses soothing lotion or raw aftershave

[zokah]

sperm is what teh missus uses

[Gnome]

minimizes razor burn

[MamaBush]

sure does

[zokah]

I'll take the word of those that have tried it

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Lovers' Leap

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes.
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.
...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby don't you know our love is true.

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies.
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright,
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly.
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand.
...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you.
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true.

I've been so far from here,
Far from your warm arms.
It's good to feel you again,
It's been a long long time. Hasn't it? [/COLOR]

[FONT=Lucida Console]The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man[/FONT]

[COLOR=Magenta] I know a farmer who looks after the farm.
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest.
I know a fireman who looks after the fire.

You, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Share his peace,
Sign the lease.
He's a supersonic scientist,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.
Look, look into my mouth he cries,
And all the children lost down many paths,
I bet my life you'll walk inside
Hand in hand,
Gland in gland
With a spoonful of miracle,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary.
We will rock you, rock you little snake,
We will keep you snug and warm.

Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest,
We walked across the fields to see the children of the West,
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors
Standing still below the ground,
Waiting for battle.

The fight's begun, they've been released.
Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...
And they're giving me a wonderful potion,
'Cos I cannot contain my emotion.
And even though I'm feeling good,
Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule.

Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate.
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord.[/COLOR]
How Dare I Be So Beautiful?

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,
We climb up a mountain of human flesh,
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
A young figure sits still by a pool,
He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool.
(He is you)
Social Security took care of this lad.
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.
A flower?

Willow Farm

If you go down to Willow Farm,
To look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
Like the fox on the rocks,
And the musical box.
Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad,
And everyone's happy to be here.

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,
He used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,
The egg was a bird.
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
Hadn't you heard?
(They're going to change you into a human being!)
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,
And wonderfully clean in the morning.

We've got everything, we're growing everything,
We've got some in
We've got some out
We've got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we're changing everyone,
You name them all,
We've had them here,
And the real stars are still to appear.

ALL CHANGE!

Feel your body melt;
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,
You're all full of ball.

Dad to dam to dum to mum
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,
You're all full of ball.

Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes.
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
I want you now.

And as you listen to my voice
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause.
You've been here all the time,
Like it or not, like what you got,
You're under the soil (the soil, the soil),
Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!).
So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang
And all of us fit in our places.

Apocalypse In 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)

[COLOR=Green]With the guards of Magog, swarming around,
The Pied Piper takes his children underground.
Dragons coming out of the sea,
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.
He brings down the fire from the skies,
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes.
Better not compromise.
It won't be easy.

666 is no longer alone,
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone,
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,
I've been so far from here,
Far from your loving arms,
Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine.

As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)

Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.

There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice,
"This is the supper of the mighty one",
Lord of Lords,
King of Kings,
Has returned to lead his children home,
To take them to the new Jerusalem.[/COLOR]
