Punchline - Green Light
my old ways and this new fist
some things broken
weren’t meant to be fixed
it’s just a matter of opinion, frankly
if nothing’s happening
then nothing is threatening
let’s enjoy what is dull
stare into this moment
one way with a green light
i think it’s all gonna be alright
i’m better than ever
and its the best day of my life
this town’s gonna bleed me dry
if no one takes my advice
i’m better than ever
and its the best day of my life
so let’s not ask for
opposites of what we have
like if it’s hot, let’s try to be cool with that
and if it’s cool, sit by a fire
fly a kite if you’re bored
take a nap if you’re tired
why are we so wicked indecisive
let’s hit the streets with toy explosives
and let’s enjoy what we have
Stare into this moment
i can not let you
get through my thick skin
i’ve gotta get you out of my system
and take back what is mine
stare into this moment
(and if i keep this speed
and if i keep this smile
then i’ll catch everyone, i swear)
one way with a green light
on a Saturday night
and it’s easy to get so
caught up in confusion
but just as easy to shrug it off and
push right through them
stare into this moment
and own it
The Weakerthans - Plea From a Cat Named Virtue
Why don’t you ever want to play?
I’m tired of this piece of string
You sleep as much as I do now
And you don’t eat much of anything
I don’t know who you’re talking to
I made a search through every room
But all I found was dust that moved
In shadows of the afternoon
And listen, about those bitter songs you sing?
They’re not helping anything
They won’t make you strong
So, we should open up the house
Invite the tabby two doors down
You could ask your sister
If she doesn’t bring her basset hound
Ask the things you shouldn’t miss:
Tape-hiss and the Modern Man
The Cold War and card catalogues
To come and join us if they can
For girly drinks and parlor games
We’ll pass around the easy lie
Of absolutely no regrets
And later maybe you could try
To let your losses dangle off
The sharp edge of a century
And talk about the weather, or
How the weather used to be
And I’ll cater with all the birds that I can kill
Let their tiny feathers fill disappointment
Lie down; lick the sorrow from your skin
Scratch the terror and begin
To believe you’re strong
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV
And frankly that thing doesn’t really interest me
I swear I’m going to bite you hard
And taste your tinny blood
If you don’t stop the self-defeating lies
You’ve been repeating since the day you brought me home
I know you’re strong
