There Is A God ---- Muzak has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

Say it's so: no more Muzak to our ears

True, it's not easy finding silver linings in the current global economic malaise. But last week, with apologies to those who might lose their jobs, there was a bit of cultural good news. South Carolina's Muzak Holdings LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, crippled by a heavy debt load.

For three-quarters of a century, the firm has piped neutered, soul-destroying versions of already bland pop songs to the waiting rooms of oral surgeons, elevator shafts and supermarket meat counters. Analysts say the company's difficulties, like so many others, have been prompted by technological change, from iPods to cushy programming deals offered retailers.

In fact, Muzak Inc. has been moving away from, well, muzak for years, stressing other company divisions that install sound and video systems. We wish them well in those endeavours. But if the result of the reorganization is never having to hear Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head again as we wait for our root canals or peruse the pork tenderloin, the planet will be a better, more musical place.

Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely life time
If you want me to I will

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
And you know I will

I will……

Underneath the concrete
The dream is still alive
A hundred million lifetimes
A world that never dies

We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town

I'VE GOT TEARS IN MY EARS
(FROM LYIN' ON MY BACK IN MY BED WHILE I CRY OVER YOU)
(Harold Barlow)

I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
In my bed while I cry over you
And the tears in my ears, they're off the beaten track
Since you said "It's goodbye, we are through"
So if I should get water on the brain
You will know you're the one who is to blame
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
In my bed while I cry over you

I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
In my bed while I cry over you
I've been cryin' these tears and soakin' in my sack
Since the day I found you were untrue
And if I don't get up pretty soon
I'll turn into a sleepy lagoon
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
In my bed while I cry over you

I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
In my bed while I cry over you
It's been so many years, my sacroiliac
Feels as though it's been soaked through and through
Oh, you lied when you said we'd take the plunge
Now I know how it feels to be a sponge
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
In my bed while I cry over you

LET'S GET LOST
(Frank Loesser / Jimmy McHugh)

Let's get lost, lost in each other's arms
Let's get lost, let them send out alarms
And though they'll think us rather rude
Let's tell the world we're in that crazy mood

Let's defrost in a romantic mist
Let's get crossed off everybody's list
To celebrate this night we found each other, mmm, let's get lost

Let's defrost in a romantic mist

“REM and it's making me all weepy:

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone”

Goodness how delicious

Hard Crackers Come Again No More

Let us close our game of poker,
Take our tin cups in hand,
While we gather round the cook's tent door
Where dry mummies of hard crackers Are given to each man;
Oh, hard crackers come again no more!

"Hard crackers, hard crackers, come again no more!
Many days have you lingered upon our stomachs sore,
Oh, hard crackers, come again no more."”

So your lovestruck Romeo’s got a serenade
Layin’ everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convienient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says, “You and me babe, how about it?”

Juliet says “It's Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack!”
He's underneath the window she's singing “Hey-la my boyfriend's back”
“You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that”
“Anyway, what you gonna do about it?”

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

We came up on different streets well, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you, so now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I’m just another one of your deals?

You can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say ‘oh Romeo. yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him’

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong... Juliet?

I can't do the talk no, like they’re talkin’ on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
And I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I'd do the stars with you, Baby, any time

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
And there's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong… Juliet?

Romeo’s got a serenade
Layin’ everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds that streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like… You and me babe how about it?

Yeah, so you and me babe… how about it?

TWISTED
(Wardell Gray & Annie Ross)

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said Id be better dead than live
I didnt listen to his jive
I knew all along
That he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought
I was crazy but I’m not
Oh no

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said Id need treatment
But Im not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts

They say as a child
I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happening
I knew I was a genius...
Whats so strange when you know
That youre a wizard at three
I knew that this was meant to be

Now I heard little children
Were supposed to sleep tight
Thats why I got into the vodka one night
My parents got frantic
Didnt know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes
Before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy
I may have been only three
But I was swinging

They all laugh at angry young men
They all laugh at Edison
And also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry
If they just couldnt understand
The idiomatic logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh they used to laugh at me
When I refused to ride
On all those doubledecker buses
All because there was no driver on the top


What, no driver on the top?

Man that chick is twisted! ooop-shoobie! flip city!


My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said dear doctor
I think that its you instead
Because I have got a thing
Thats unique and new
To prove it Ill have
The last laugh on you
cause instead of one head
I got two

And you know two heads are better than one…

I DREAMED A DREAM

There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!

And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...
