Guns N Roses ~~ Civil War

Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they’ve always done before

Look at the hate we’re breeding
Look at the fear we’re feeding
Look at the lives we’re leading
The way we’ve always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can’t deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D’you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said “peace could last forever”
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see

So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can’t trust freedom
When it’s not in your hands
When everybody’s fightin’
For their promised land

And
I don’t need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin’ soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh
I don’t need your civil war

Look at the shoes you’re filling
Look at the blood we’re spilling
Look at the world we’re killing
The way we’ve always done before
Look in the doubt we’ve wallowed
Look at the leaders we’ve followed
Look at the lies we’ve swallowed
And I don’t want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I’ve seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
‘Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
I don’t need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin’ soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh
I don’t need your civil war

Whaz so civil ’bout war anyway?

BLOW ~~ Ruby Waters

Make me work for it, I’d like to show ya
All the things I can do
All the ways I can move
If you like it baby you can have it again
We’ll go harder next time if there is a next time

We are so into this, so fast so slow, so soft so hard
Making it clap from the back acting like it was your last time
What the fuck is this
Live fast breathe slow always so hard
Making it count one two three
You’re blowing my mind

If you’re thirsty honey come and drink me
I won’t keep you too long,
Feels so right when it’s wrong
Love the way you grab me
I can call you daddy
Swear I’ll make you happy
Come and work me papi

We are so into this, so fast so slow, so soft so hard
Making it clap from the back acting like it was your last time
What the fuck is this
Live fast breathe slow always so hard
Making it count one two three
You’re blowing my mind

We are so into this, so fast so slow, so soft so hard
Making it clap from the back acting like it was your last time
What the fuck is this
Live fast breathe slow always so hard
Making it count one two three
You’re blowing my mind

Breathe me in and blow me out baby
Leave it on the table
Love the way you make me go crazy
Leave it on me

Sean Rowe – “To Leave Something Behind”

[Vaughan]

Kate Bush has scored an improbable and inspiring No 1 in the UK singles chart, with Running Up That Hill reaching the top 37 years after the song was released.

The 1985 track has stormed domestic and global charts after its inclusion in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things last month, introducing it to a new generation of fans.

Stranger Things is a drama/fantasy/horror series on Netflix.
When a young boy disappears, his mother, a police chief and his friends must confront terrifying supernatural forces in order to get him back.

Kate Bush has broken three UK chart records with her No 1 placing. She is the oldest woman to top the chart, while 37 years is the longest time a song has taken to get to No 1, beating Wham!, whose Last Christmas finally made it in January 2021.

Bush also has the longest gap between No 1 singles, with 44 years elapsed since her debut, Wuthering Heights (Tom Jones was the previous record holder at 42 years). Running Up That Hill reached No 3 when it was originally released.

We never learn, we’ve been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets? The bullets?
We never learn, we’ve been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
Your bullets? The bullets?
