I just get an idea and then all of a sudden I've got a song.

An Idea
An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

The record was only released in the UK, and then when the idea for the remixed album came about, which was an idea that I've had for the longest time, I said this would be great song to remix as well, and so we did it.

Each member does whatever they want with the song and it totally changes it from whatever idea I hear around it. It turns it into a Sonic Youth song and completely away from it being a solo song.

Songs to Sing
Songs are some to stand and sing,
Ulcers in our daily rituals are not to bring.
He is amicable, lovely, like sudden danger;
But they remove his song from the shop as if he was a stranger.
Swallow this song, and inform him more
Like a man is informed about his qualifications.
Song is not disability, but the root of law,
The many people allow reform from justifications.

Just For A Day
You have no idea what it’s like
To be the oldest
No idea what it’s like
To be exiled
You have no idea what it’s like
To be unnoticed
No idea what it’s like
To be me
So I suggest you put on my mask
For a while
Just for a year, for a month
For a day
So you can see
What it’s like
To be me
You can finally feel
My positions
Feel your weakness
In times like mine
How your feelings compress
All together
When you don’t say anything,
But hang your head
Someone like you
Someone like you
~
I’m looking for a way
Searching through films on TV
Tying to find an idea
Something I could recreate
Maybe there’s a line in a song
Or a poem I could read
Just to get closer to you
All I want is to know
How do I get someone like you
To like someone like me
Is there any answer
Or am I barking at trees
What could I do or say
Will you tell please
Just so I know you are listening
Want you tell me please
How do I get someone like you
To like, someone like me
You can see I have no idea
But I’m crazy about you
Wont you help me find the answer
How do I get someone like you
To like someone like me

I write when I have to; I write when the song is done and I deal with the idea and I just go with it and I'll become what that song is all about until I have finished it. And when you do that, it makes the song more visual, it makes it more personal.

Love Songs and Past Lovers
On Abbey Road, the Beatles said it best. 'And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make'
My philosophy is similar, 'The love you give is equal to the love you live'
Each of my lovers is remembered with a song
Janet was 'Try a little tenderness'
Marcy 'Wild Thing'
Barbara was 'Will you still love me tomorrow? '
Irene, well I guess you get the idea
Just hearing the song, she's there in my mind
The woman with who I called it 'our song'
Remembering her face, her smile, her kiss
But somehow, never why we broke up
And when the song ends, she's gone
Just like in real life, I lost her again
But now, I can bring her back
Simply by listening to the song again

A Song of Fate,
A Song of Peace,
A Song of Friendship,
A Song of Family,

Sing Me A Song
Sing me a song,
A song you and I know,
A song that will put me to sleep,
This song that I always listen to makes me cry,
Missing you with every inch on my heart,
Knowing that you will not return,
Sing me a song,
A song that will help me forget about you,
A song that will heal my heart,
A song of forgiveness,
Just sing a song,
A song that can not be forgotten,
A song so memorable,
Only a memory,
Sing me song,
A song that we will love,
A song we can not live with out,
Just sing me a song,
A song that only you and I know.

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.

No Poem Is An Original
No poem is an original
everyone who writes
poetry thinks their poem
was an original, it just so
happens that their poem just
surfaced to the top
of their mind first, so they
were able to write it.
Everyone has love, hate
compassion buried deep
in their soul.
Poets are able to bring
all of this to the surface,
to construct, add the words,
but it is not an original
idea, for the poet because
they wrote it now, it
becomes an original for them.
Who has not heard a song,
read a poem, story or book,
seen a movie and said,
to themselves, hey I had
that same idea.
Only thing is, someone else
brought it to the surface
of the mind, and wrote it first.
Even this poem I'm writing
now is not an original
someone out there
has this idea buried
deep in their soul.
So if you have an idea
for a poem, get busy
write it, don't wait,
or you won't write an original
start today,
don't delay.

Every suggested idea produces a corresponding physical reaction. Every idea constantly repeated ends by being engraved upon the brain, provoking the act which corresponds to that idea.

It's absolutely of no importance who or what V was under the mask. He isn't a who or a what, he's an idea. The thing is, you couldn't continue it. Now and then the idea of a sequel has been raised, in vague forms, but I think it would be a bad idea. The story's finished.

It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea.

Century
Everybody's here
Puke stinks like beer
This could be a city
This could be a graveyard
You stole my idea
You stole my idea
Everybody's anxious
For the coming of the crisis
The collapse of the justice
I can smell your armpits
You stole my idea
You stole my idea
You stole my idea
This puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
Come on

Fighter
Also the Knight of Light came upon us,
And afraid I became of him and us,
All sudden it sung like singing is to oblivion.
I am grasping the idea behind him,
Like he was yesterday, and not today.
Beauty and relaxation caught a paladin in servitude.

The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.
