SHINE

Shine.... Henry Rollins

If I listened to everything that they said to me I wouldn't be here
And if I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way I wouldn't be here

The ones who don't do anything are the ones who try to put you down
You could spend your entire life in the nowhere land of self doubt
When you start to doubt yourself
The real world will eat you alive

It's time to align your body with your mind
It's hero time
It's time to align your body with your mind
It's time to shine

I'm talking to you. Hero time starts right now

If you think you've got 100 extra years to mess around you're wrong
This time is real. Your time is now. It's hero time.

Hard times are getting harder
The liars are acting strong
You better get a grip on yourself
Or you won't be around too long

No such thing as spare time
No such thing as free time
No such thing as down time
All you got is life time. GO

I got grace in times of friction
I got truth in times of fiction
I got no time for the hype
Suicide? I'm not the type

No time for drug addiction
No time for smoke and booze
Too strong for a shortened life span
I've got no time to lose

Especially the lyrics in the second-part of the song.

[PhebaAndThePilgrim]

Good day from Pheba, from the farm:
Thanks for the heads-up on the song Road to Hell by Chris Rea.
Never heard of him. What a great artist.
For some reason when I lurk on Peak Oil I like to listen to
Marvin gaye's long live version of "What's Goin On".
But, Road to Hell gets my vote for Theme Song for Peak Oil.
Pheba.

This is my first post here on PO.com hopefully more to come.
I just recently registered but have been lurking since 2004 when
I was still in HS. I’ll make sure to mosey onto the “Welcome” board after this.

Anyways I think the Bad Religion song “Modern Man” can fit in this PO theme song category, though it is very misanthropic in nature, but I guess we all are here .

Modern Man - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXHlMBjq240 – (lyrics in the video)

Another Bad Religion song that fits is “Part IV (Index Fossil)”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdWQKUky2q4

We're widespread and well fed,
The earth's rotating fate is in our head, oh yeah.
We're dominant and prominent,
And our deity’s omnipotent, oh yeah.
And immortality's in our mastermind,
And we destroy everything we can find.
And tomorrow when the human clock stops and the world stops turning,
We'll be an index fossil buried in our own debris.
We're listless, promiscuous,
And life to us is either hit or miss, oh yeah.
We're savoir faire and debonair
And things we do are done with pride and care, oh yeah.
And immortality's in our mastermind,
And we destroy everything that we find.
And tomorrow when the human clock stops and the world stops turning,
We'll be an index fossil buried in our own debris.
See, immortality's in our mastermind,
And we destroy everything that we find.
And tomorrow when the human clock stops and the world stops turning,
We'll be an index fossil buried in our own debris.
In our own debris.

Front 242 - Tragedy for You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TunxZPz6RkI

Make sure your speakers are turned up all the way. I learned about peak oil. Then I went to sleep. Then I woke up one day and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urd8tG0xvoM

The sun went down and the ground started sort of grinding
A blinding light tore across the sky
A cyclone swept the landscape out
and left it completely flattened out
And several twirls of smoke unfolded like gigantic flowers

The way the morning broke was quite unusual

I should have wakened up at once,
but this was no concern of mine,
so I kept on dreaming

My eyes roamed over the burning ruins

In less time than it takes to tell

And I felt like
And I felt like being numbed,
I felt like mesmerized

The way the morning broke was quite unusual
More than words can say

In less time than it takes to tell

[TheDude]

I keep humming either Deadly Skiesby Husker Du or The End Of The World, here done by Skeeter Davis. You can hear the former at that link too. Follow the bouncing ball.

Deadly skies
Deadly night dreams
Well it's no lie
To say what I've seen
I've seen the end
Of the grand scheme
'Cause we all die
By our worst means

I like to protest, but I'm not sure what it's for
I guess I've got no control over the threat of nuclear war
I made a sign to carry to show that I really care
I've heard it does some good if the television people are there

Dead trees, dead leaves, deadly skies.

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

[PhebaAndThePilgrim]

Good day From Pheba, from the farm:
I have another song that is sooo Peak Oil.
I listen to The Theme from the Matrix, the Virtual Room song.
No words, but has such a Peak Oil feel to it.
Pheba.

[bonebanker1]

I think the Peak Oil song should be. The End of The Inocence.

(Nothing But) Flowers
------Talking Heads

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

[miles392]

Not sure if its been mentioned but Run to the hills is pretty nice.. not exactly Peak Oil related but running to the hills when the shit storm hits just might be a good idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5Snehl2bAk

Velvet Underground The Black Angel's Death Song

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate
For him to choose
What had he to lose

Not a ghost bloodied country
All covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose

And wanderings brother
Walked on through the night
With his hair in his face
On a long splintered cut from the knife of g.t.

The rally mans patter ran on through the dawn
Until we said so long
To his skull-shrill yell

Shining brightly red-rimmed and
Red-lined with the time
Infused with the choice of the mind
On ice skates scraping chunks
From the bells

Cut mouth bleeding razors
Forgetting the pain
Antiseptic remains cool goodbye
So you fly
To the cozy brown snow of the east
Gone to choose, choose again

Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
Where you come from
The stools of your eyes
Serve to realize fame, choose again

And rovermans refrain of the sacrilege recluse
For the loss of a horse
Went the bowels and a tail of a rat
Come again, choose to go

And if epiphanys terror reduced you to shame
Have your head bobbed and weaved
Choose a side to be on

If the stone glances off
Split didactics in two
Leave the colors of the mouse trails
Dont scream, try between
If you choose, if you choose, try to lose
For the loss of remain come and start

Start the game I che che che che i
Che che ka tak koh
Choose to choose
Choose to choose, choose to go

Jane's Addiction - The Mountain Song

comin' down the mountain
one of many children
everybody has
their own opinion
everybody has
their own opinion
holding it back
hurts so bad
jumping out of my flesh
and i said

cash in!
cash in now honey
cash in now
cash in now baby
cash in now honey
cash in miss smith
cash in now baby!

i was comin down the mountain
met a child she had pin eyes
we had the same opinion
had the same opinion
she was holding it back
it hurts do bad
jumping out of her flesh
and i said

cash in!
cash in now honey
cash in now
cash in now baby
cash in now honey
cash in miss smith

From the beginning of the video
"...(This song) is about when oil runs out and everyone turns on each other, but in this case the two people in question do not turn on each other. They continue to love each other even as the fucking apocalypse grows over them like a brutal fucking shrub."

New Order
Sunrise

I've been waiting to hear your voice for too long now
One-way conversations do not work somehow
Tell me how does one get your soul in touch with the Lord above
When one-way conversations make the price for you so high?
I tried so hard last night--you would not talk to me
I live with the fear of the few with the gift
And I know what's going to be

Why did you never speak my name in front of my family?
You gave me a gift that you then took away
Like you never did it before
Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me
Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me
We might be your black sheep
But you forgot us a long time ago
We might be your black sheep
But its time you remembered us now

As we spent our days together, nothing could go wrong
No one told the truth about it because it was so strong
If you ever think of me, if you hear my name
If you read between the lines, you'll hang your head in shame
These wounds will never heal, the ice will never freeze
Whatever I have done for you I did in sympathy

The Psychedelic Furs We Love You lyrics

I'm in love with catholics
I'm in love with your blue cars
I'm in love with the bodies that scream:
We are so stupid, we all dream
I'm in love with Frank Sinatra
Fly me to the moon
I'm in love with fools like you
I'm in love with doing the twist
I'm in love with the bodies on the screen
They fall so far, they fall so far
I'm in love with the Supremes
Oh baby love
I'm in love with Sophia Loren
I'm in love with Bridget Bardot
I'm in love with the whole dumb scene
I'm so in love, you know what I mean
I'm in love with Anthea and Donna
All that shit that goes
Uptown top ranking
(stop wanking)
I'm in love with the Factory
I'm in love with the BBC
I'm in love with your TV
They're so in love with you and me
I'm in love with a nuclear bomb it falls
I'm in love with shopping city dreams
I'm in love with real men
They go through the
Air for oxygen
Love is just a car like you
That turns so blue and turns so blue
No blue cars will run my world
No playboys will black my word
I would walk a million smiles
For one of your miles Bob
Stop stop stop stop stop stop stop
We love you we love you we love you
We love you we love you we love you
WE LOVE YOU
