Practical efficiency is common, and lofty idealism not uncommon; it is the combination which is necessary, and the combination is rare.

The Right Combination
Two people, together
It was just a dream until you came along
My heart was waiting just for you
Tomorrow, forever
We both heard these promises for far too long
And now you make the words come true
So touch me now
I need to have you close tonight
And show me how
You can me feel this way
# you and me, we are the right combination
For love, were all we need
Its just you and me, we make the right combination
Straight from the heart, love is the key
Cant keep it, a secret
Everything I feel is written on my face
I cant hide my heart from you
You hold me, is magic
In your arms the world becomes a better place
Now I know what love can do
Here we go
Exactly where the road will lead us
I dont know
I just know that youll be there
# you and me, we are the right combination
For love, were all we need
Its just you and me, we make the right combination
Straight from the heart, love is the key
And whenever you, Im there
Every stumble and fall, I share
Ill be yours through it all
Coz I care, about you baby
Its so easy to see, so strong
Now I know you and me, belong
Ill be by your side forever....
# you and me, we are the right combination
For love, were all we need
Its just you and me, we make the right combination
Straight from the heart, love is the key

I like what I hear as a resulting combination of these two strands... something of a combination of familiarity and, for lack of a better word, strangeness.

There is much modern music that is better adapted to a wind combination than to a string, although for obvious reasons originally scored for an orchestra. If in such cases the interpretation is equal to the composition the balance of a wind combination is more satisfying.

When Communicating My Needs
There are times I feel 'lofty'
And have a need to express my intelligence.
That combination of experience, insight and observation...
Is seeking a way to express itself.
And when in the mood...
I can soar to heights and care less I am understood.
Some who assume others are intelligent,
Do their best to try to impress with their own...
Mental abilities.
As if the basicness of communication,
Is only used to grunt sexual expectations.
And it seems the most unattractive people...
Grunt words I can not pronounce.
There are times I feel 'lofty'
And have a need to express my intelligence.
That combination of experience, insight and observation...
Is seeking a way to express itself.
And when in the mood...
I can soar to heights and care less I am understood.
However...
It is very important to me to be absolutely clear,
In exchanging dialogue with anyone.
With the understanding,
When communicating my needs...
I prefer to keep that as basic as possible!

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

It is a curious fact that when we get sick we want an uncommon doctor... When we get into a war, we dreadfully want an uncommon admiral and an uncommon general. Only when we get into politics are we content with the common man.

The demonstration that no possible combination of known substances, known forms of machinery and known forms of force, can be united in a practical machine by which man shall fly long distances through the air, seems to the writer as complete as it is possible for the demonstration of any physical fact to be.

I Love To Hate You
Im crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
For every casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didnt come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine
Oh I like to read of murder mystery
I like to know the killer isnt me
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers make me quiver
Feel it sliver up and down my spine

That was my first lesson from Ben-Gurion. Then I saw him making peace, and I saw him making war. He mobilized me before the war. The man was a very rare combination between a real intellectual and a born leader. There is a contradiction between the two.

The uncommon to be common
There are exceptions to rules.
When exceptions exceeds in use,
Rules relegate to exceptions
And exceptions stay as rules.
The uncommon one frequenting,
The common one is replaced
By the uncommon to be common.
Marriage is soon to be uncommon.

Me & I
Sometimes when Im mad
Theres a part of me that seems to be a little sad
Sometimes when I scream
Theres a voice in me that says, you shouldnt be so mean
Oh no, oh no
Part of me is acting while the other stands beside
Yes, I am to myself what jekyll must have been to hyde
Were like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes were a hit together
Me and i
Gloomy moods and inspiration
Were a funny combination
Me and i
I dont think Im different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And youll find the answer in it
Everyones a freak
Sometimes I have toyed
With ideas that I got from good old dr. freud
Nothing new of course
It may seem to you I try to break through open doors
Oh no, oh no
I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me
cause its an explanation to my split identity
Were like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes were a hit together
Me and i
Gloomy moods and inspiration
Were a funny combination
Me and i
I dont think Im different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And youll find the answer in it
Everyones a freak
Me and i...
Were like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes were a hit together
Me and i
Gloomy moods and inspiration
Were a funny combination
Me and i
I dont think Im different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And youll find the answer in it
Everyones a freak
Were like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes were a hit together
Me and i
Gloomy moods and inspiration
Were a funny combination
Me and i...

Delicious Surprise
Another way to enjoy chocolate
Is to mix them with fruits and nuts
Berries you’ll find delectable
With a crunchy nutty touch
Marshmallows too will help
To add a white fluffy feel
When your teeth sink down inside
The sweetness is extremely real
Or a combination of mallows
With say, brilliant red raspberries
Another fruit that blends so good
Are juicy sweet cherries
And then you add the chocolate
Oh yes, what a combination taste
So much to enjoy for us
Nothing will go to waste
So get wild, folks in your kitchen
Create your sweetie a surprise
The rewards will be astounding
See what you can devise!

Good Situation
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Good evening sweet darling
May I ask your name
You seem to be lonely
Well don't worry I'm feeling the same
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
Your something that
I just can't miss
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
It's been a long time sweet darling
Since love has come my way
But I'm trying so hard
To find the right words to say
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
Your something that
I just can't miss

Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics has taught me
That ev'rything is entropic.
Like radioactive isotopes,
Things degenerate at a molecular level.
There is no combination of thoughts to yield
A higher production of energy-
Only the fission of idealism,
Subatomic splitting
So minute that it's almost invisible,
So meaningless that it's as if nothing changed,
But serving as the catalyst
To the severing chain reaction
Which multiplies quickly
To the reaches of infinity,
Out of the grasp of ev'ryone
As they are eclipsed
In the nuclear shadow
Of the holocaust sun.
If knowledge is power,
Why do we build bombs?

Dream Maker
My dream maker
Most vivid dreams
My dream creator
Is it what is seems?
Placing my head on the pillow
For a heavenly night
Illumination sheer
Like an Angel in the light
Apearing in the unconscious
Only to wake my eyes
As the combination of hues
Slowly start to die
Looking around me for my dream creator
Realizing they have disappeared from sight
Closing my eyes tightly and wishing with all my might
That my dream creator
Isn't what is seems
Not a sheer illumination
Nor a combination of hue
Instead of my dream creator
Please be my dream come true.
