Kiss me kiss me kiss me
Your tongue is like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth
Love me love me love me
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out
- The Cure
And she ran to him…then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby…she had become like they are
She had taken his hand…she had become like they are
Come on baby…don’t fear the reaper
(Blue Oyster Cult)
All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water and a million years gone by
-Beth Nielsen Chapman
Then you say–go slow–
I fall behind–
the second hand unwinds
if you’re lost you can look–and you will find me
time after time
(Cyndi Lauper)
Up at Cody’s camp I spent my days,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody junior took me over,
Said you’re gonna find the world is smolderin’
And if you get lost come on home to green river.
(CCR)
Well sometimes we’d travel right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelt like snakes that we’d shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
Then the coal company came with the worlds largest shovel
And they tortured the timbers and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
(The Everly Brothers)
We work the black seam
This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
It’s hard for us to understand
We can’t give up our jobs the way we should
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation’s soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense
Sting
*I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said “Well, a-bless my soul”
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store*
Oh Daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lays
I’m sorry my son but you’re too late in askin’
Mr. Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
(Johnny Cash)
Daddy please STOP it wasn’t his fault. He means so much to me…

And I said Mama, he’s crazy and he scares me
but I want him by my side
He’s wild and he’s bad
and sometimes just plain mad
But I need him to keep me satisfied
Papa dont preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, Im keeping my baby, oh
Im gonna keep my baby, mmm…
-Madona
Having my baby
What a lovely way of saying how much you love me
Paul Anka
Baby, Baby fallin’ in love
Fallin’ in love again
*Baby’s on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter *
- Brian Eno
Watch out
strange but not a stranger
Cool Baby
You might get what you’re after
BURNIN’ DOWN THE HOUSE
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
(Midnight Oil)
The world was turnin’
and she was floatin’ above it
And she was
On a magic carpet ride
You don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
(Steppenwolf)
{NOT PART OF SEQUENCE}
This just shows how many directions one can go at once. Yours did not occur to me, at least not consciously, but I did think of the country tune, “There was always love in Daddy’s hands…” and in the back of my mind there was “Daddy please don’t cry…” toward the end of the Butterfly Kisses song.
