“You'll see the horrors of a faraway place…Meet the architects of law face to face…

See mass murder on a scale you've never seen…And all the ones who try hard to succeed…

This is the way, step inside.”

Atrocity Exhibition

“In arenas he kills for a prize…Wins a minute to add to his life…

But the sickness is drowned by cries for more…Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall…

This is the way, step inside.”

Atrocity Exhibition

I’m a musician (guitar and piano), but love good lyrics. The next few months I’ll be taking us on an adventure into the mind of a brilliant lyricist, Mr. Ian Curtis.

RIP, brother…I hope you found what you were looking for.

Closer, by Joy Division.

“Asylums with doors open wide…where people had paid to see inside.

For entertainment they watch his body twist…behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

This is the way…step inside.”

“Well now I dig you Georgia peaches…Makes me feel right at home.

But I don't love me no one woman…So I can't stay in Georgia long.”

“Ain't no change in the weather…Ain't no changes in me.

Well there ain't no change in the weather…Ain't no changes in me.

And I ain't hidin' from nobody…Nobody's hidin' from me.”

“They call me the breeze…I keep blowin' down the road. I ain't got me nobody…I don't carry me no load.”

“Slickers steal my money since I was seventeen…If it ain't no pencil pusher, then there's got to be a honky tonk queen…Well I signed my contract, baby, now I want you people to know…Every penny that I make, I wanna see where my money goes.”

“They're gonna take me out to California, gonna make me a superstar…just pay me all my money, mister, maybe you won't get a star.”

“I worked in every joint you can name, mister, every honky tonk…Along comes the Yankee slicker, saying, maybe you're what I want.”

“Seven years of hard luck coming down on me…
from the Florida border, yes, up to Nashville, Tennessee…”

@zafulotus.bsky.social Congrats on your interview with Jacob on History Valley. Great job as usual. News of the World left us in 2011. But Bat Boy lives on in infamy!

The genius physicist Dr. Edward Teller, one of the fathers of thermonuclear bombs. I’m proud that I too contributed my small part to the development of nuclear weapons for our great country.

We need to restart the testing of our nuclear weapons to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

“I know your name is Rita…’cause your perfume is smelling sweeter…since when I saw you down on the floor…”

When real men knew how to make real music….

“In the morning…don’t say you love me…because I’ll only kick you out the door…”

When real musicians knew how to make real music. Ladies and gentlemen, the legendary Faces…
