And I like the idea of change. Because I don't see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it's there like a piece of furniture.

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.

Life Is Not Measured By Its Length
i know you know that life is not measured by its length
or its width
lest it simply becomes a piece of
cube
a matter of furniture
or even a block of wood
lest it becomes so ordinary
with a depth that you can measure
so easily
in truth life has nothing to do with numbers
first, second,
one, two and three and there you claim that you have life
life is quality my dear
it is giving your best shot
giving up
life for a reason for a cause for those you value most
for those you love
and then when all the reasons are lost
when all your loved ones left you
when there is nothing greater
to believe
when nothing is worth living anymore
i will ask you: where can life be?
there is none anymore
it has become a piece of junk
worth throwing
in your garbage can
or keeping it in dusty garage or the mezzanine
always hoping that someday
it may still be worth the stay

At a Boston signing, someone from the audience asked why I was so obsessed with furniture in my books. The question rattled around in my head. I had no idea that I was obsessed with furniture.

Wave Wet Sand
You are as reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand.
Look in your eyes and I cant see a thing,
That usually means attratction to me
Ive read all the books about love I could find,
And Ive found not one, no,
Not one word about mine -
cause you are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
Youre coming and youre going:
Like the water you never end.
cause you are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
And I am just another piece of an island
In reach for your hands
...feel my doubts when you are in my arms.
Darling: if you know that its love
And not charm
You must tell me so or go elsewhere to hunt.
cause you are...
Your love...
I am just another piece of an island
I cant close my ears when I hear that you call.
I dont want to fear every tear that could fall:
Ill go on my own, and pass people with doubts.
My goal is to find just a piece of your love.
Your love is - your love is like the water
You are like the water.
You are like the water.
You, you are my shore, and you know
You are my shore.
cause you are reliable like a painting...
I am just another piece of an island...

Hang
She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
Her notes and she knows, shes been here too few years
To feel this old
He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside til its gone
If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldnt be alone
He knows, shes been here too few years to be gone
And we always say, it would be good to go away someday
But if theres nothing there to make things change
If its the same for you Ill just hang
The trouble understand, is she got reasons he dont
Funny how I couldnt see it at all
til she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, shes been here too few years to take it all in stride
But still its much too long, to let hurt go(you let her go)
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if theres nothing there to make things change
If its the same for you Ill just hang
The same for you
Ill always hang
Well I always say, it would be good to go away
But if things dont work out like we think
And theres nothing there to ease this ache
But if theres nothing there to make things change
If its the same for you Ill just hang

I Turned Your Picture To The Wall
I turned your picture to the wall
I don't wanna see you anymore
You once were nice to me
Sugar and spice to me
Now you're as salty as you can be
We had some good times, I recall
We don't ever have them anymore
Now you just lie to me
Then say goodbye to me
I can't believe this is happening to me
When I call you on the phone
You are never there
And I sit home all alone
You don't even care
So I'll just turn your picture to the wall
I ain't gonna see you anymore
It's all a memory
Now it can never be
I'll never see you at all
'Cause I will just turn your picture to the wall

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
Hang On In There
Dont let go, dont lose your mystique,
Wait a little longer,
Tomorrow brings another feast,
Dont let go, dont lose your reputation,
Thank God youre still alive,
Youre still in one piece,
Hang on in there, dont lose your appetite,
Hang on in there, forget the danger signs,
Fray for that magical moment and it will appear
(dont fight for lost emotions,)
Wait for the sunrise,
And everything will seem so clear,
(look straight ahead, look straight ahead,)
Hang on in there, hang on in there, hang on in there,
Your wish will be granted,
All your problems will disappear,
Dont be a fool, you havent reached your peak,
You got a fast car racing up inside you,
Your life is incomplete,
Hang on in there, hang on in there,
Fray for that magical moment and it will appear
(wait for that moment),
Wait for the sunrise,
Just wait and see and it will seem so clear,
Lets go, lets go - ok now do the change now,
Yeah, hang on in there,
Hang on in there etc.

Change
To make you want me I can fabricate
the truth
I'll give you easy it'll keep me destitute
You hang me up on the line, hang me out
to dry
And you got nothing to lose
You've got the story all made up inside
your head
You write me out of it and use your
words instead
You hold me just out of reach, but you
keep me pounding the beat
To take all the soul you can get
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You take no chances and you give no
other choice
You fill your pockets and you empty out
my voice
You use the shallow and old, trade the
heart for the gold
You sell the song for the noise
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change

But If You Don’t Love Me Anymore
If you change and don’t love me anymore
If you don’t really care anymore
If you don’t laugh at my jokes
Or does not like my hug
Or kisses
Or my company
If you change
Just say it clearly
No pretenses, no covers, no ambiguities
Nothing equivocal
No regrets
I can manage
I can change too
I can change you too
Lots of them, and they will love me too
Now go. I’ll find another.
There is no bother. No problem.
Leave, while I keep words unkind
Within. Leave while still early, and
Be kind to yourself.
Now we are free, from our
Hypocrisy. Receive the fullness of
This
Blessing in disguise. At last, I am free.
My prayer is too, granted.
if you really do not love me anymore
say it clearly
because i don't
love you anymore too.

If You Could Change It (Would You Change It?)
You were born without a mother,
You were born with a cruel older brother
If it could change,
Would you change it?
You were brought up without any respect for you,
You were sick and tired of it, you're through
If you could change it,
Would you change it?
If only I saw what you had seen,
Maybe things wouldn't have been
You don't trust, anymore,
You don't love, anymore,
And I wish I could have changed it,
Every single bit,
So you'd love me better.
If it could change,
Would you change it?

Funny Thing
A funny thing to do
Is everyone like you
'Cause people seldom change
They all just stay the same
A funny htin to say
Suppose you're just that way
Although you're sure you're sure
There really is no cure
A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You're funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine
Cause I've seen it all before
When you're closing all the doors
It's not funny anymore
A funny thing to do
Because the sky was blue
You ran away for good
Cause no one understood
The funny things you said
Because the sky was red
A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You're funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine
Cause I've seen it all before
When you're closing all the doors
It's not funny anymore
A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You're funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine
Cause I've seen it all before
When you're closing all the doors
It's not funny anymore
A funny thing to do
Is everyone like you
Cause people seldom change
They all just stay the same

Panic
Panic on the streets of london
Panic on the streets of birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?
The leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the grasmere
But honey pie, you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's panic on the streets of carlisle
Dublin, dundee, humberside
I wonder to myself
Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed dj
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed dj
Because the music they constantly play
On the leeds side-streets that you slip down
Or provincial towns you jog 'round
Hang the dj, hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj

Home Ain't Where His Heart Is
He knew how to reach me deep inside
And he found a part of me i could not hide
And we'd walk and talk and touch tenderly
Then he'd lay me down and make love to me
We built a love so strong and couldn't break
There was not a road we were afraid to take
And we'd kiss all the way from arkansas to rome
'cause in each other's arms we were home sweet home
But he don't feel the same
Since our lives became
Years of bills, babies and chains
Home ain't where his heart is anymore
He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door
But he don't lay his head down to love me like before
Home ain't where his heart is anymore
If foundations made of stone can turn to dust
Then the hardest hearts of steel can turn to rust
If he could only find that feeling once again
If we could only change the way the story ends
And he may still come home
But i live here alone
The love that built these walls is gone
Home ain't where his heart is anymore
He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door
But he don't lay his head down to love me like before
He don't lay his head down to love me like before
Home ain't where his heart is anymore
No, home ain't where his heart is

For The Things That We Cannot Change
for things that we cannot change
we may let them be
hence, i do not wish to change you
for you cannot be you
there is a time always to pray
to know what we can change and what we cannot
to know what is the difference between the two
i have limits too
for things that i can change for those i cannot
i may soon take my leave and go
to places where we do not mind each other anymore
where you are free to grow and be yourself
where i cannot see you anymore and then
i may stop gritting my own teeth

The Blues
All the love in the world couldn't save you
All the innocence inside
You know I tried so hard to make you
To make you change your mind
And it hurts too much to see you
And how you left yourself behind
You know I didn't want to be you
Now there's a hell I can't describe
So now I wander through my day
Trying to find my way
Still these feelings that I felt
I said to you and no one else
And no it's not going to change
I know it's gone, still I'm used
And that's nice to hang on someone
A change that's bittersweet
That's called the blues
Don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
You know it's what you planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
You know it's what you planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
What this means to me
The more I know you believe
What I thought was you now
Has got more that it changed on you
What I thought was true
The more that I might know is you
What I thought was you
Is only memories, distant

Peace and bliss,

Peace of mind,

Piece of steak,
Piece of eight
Piece of the action

Peace and satisfaction
Piece in the valley
