The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!" - Jack Kerouac [1922-1969]

BIG SKY - The Kinks

Big Sky looked down on all the people looking up at the Big Sky.
Everybody pushing one another around
Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
But the Big Sky's too big to let it get him down.

Big Sky too big to cry
Big Sky too high to see
People like you and me

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down
When I feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me.

Big Sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky
But Big Sky is too big to sympathize

Big Sky's too occupied
Though he would like to try
And he feels bad inside
Big Sky's too big to cry

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.
When I feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me

BASKET FULL OF LIES

Like every night she' driving home
Looking for new ways to place a brick on a stone
Lily's living day by day
Looking at the birds as they all fly away
As she waits her own turn
Am I going to freeze or am I going to burn?

'Cause you can't always listen to the shit filling your mind
Try and understand why you're right there being left behind
Our self-indulgence leaves us with a basket full of lies
Well ain't that nice

Now Lily's gone to a brand new world
Trying to find out what's wrong with this little girl
There's so much that's left undone
But a river doesn't stop until it's gone

'Cause you can't always listen to the shit filling your mind
Try and understand why you're right there being left behind
Our self-indulgence leaves us with a basket full of lies
Well ain't that nice

And I hope she knows I love her very much
When the sun is hi, underneath th rain
I'm sure this time apart is going to help us meet again

Like every night she' driving home
Looking for new ways to place a brick on a stone

'Cause you can't always listen to the shit filling your mind
Try and understand why you're right there being left behind
Our self-indulgence leaves us with a basket full of lies
Well ain't that nice
