happy 52 mr. Ian MacKaye

thanks for all the words and tunes and company in my head. 

never forget the first time i heard minor threat -salad days- coming

out of my little fm radio, tuned to the local college station.... and

thinking -what the fuck is this?- i was blown away, and have remained

a fan ever since.  pour out all that emotion for all us emotional freaks,

and let us listen in and touch our hand to the wall at night.

and this song predicted my future...

I want to tell you a little story
'Cause it makes me warm inside
It's about some friends growing up
And all the things they tried
I'm not talking about staple shit
They went for something more
I guess it was too much dreaming
Too much to hope for

One day something funny happened
But it scared the shit out of me
Their heads went in different directions
And their friendship ceased to be (x2)

Someday, look back and laugh...

I'm telling you I want it to work!
I don't like being hurt!
Something's not right inside!
And I can't always put it aside...
What can we do, what can we do?

Try! (x4)

Fuck it man!

I guess I make too much shit
Someday we'll look back and laugh

I'm telling you I want it to work!
I don't like being hurt!
Something's not right inside!
And I can't always put it aside...
What can we do, what can we do?

Try! (x4)

Fuck it man!

I guess I make too much shit
Someday we'll look back and laugh

Mr. Present, go away
Come back and fuck with us some other day
Mr. Feelings, run and hide
You have no right to what you feel inside
Motherfuckers, quick to kiss
Talk your shit, but don't fuck with this
All I want to know...
All I want to know is
Am I holding on? Am I moving on?
What can we do, what can we do? (x4)

Try! (x4)
