BRAD & ANGELINA'S BIG BABY
ANNOUNCEMENT!
Wednesday November 15, 2006
Brad Pitt's family in Springfield, Mo., can't wait
for the holidays! Not only is Brad planning to
bring Angelina Jolie and their three children to
town for the Christmas holidays — to stay in the
palatial house he just had built only a quarter of
a mile away from Brad's folks, but Brangelina
also has an exciting announcement they want to
make!

Pick-up lines
I hope you know CPR, because you take my
breath away!
Hey baby... drop that zero and get with the hero in
other words... you better come with me.
Excuse me, but do you have tickets? (Tickets for
what?) (Points to arm and flex) To the gun show!
If you were a booger I'd pick you first.
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.
-Sylvia Plath
California Stars
I'd like to rest my heavy head
tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones
tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd love to feel
Your hand touching mine
And tell me why
I must keep working on
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd love to feel
Your hand touching mine
And tell me why
I must keep working on
Yes I'd give my life
To lay my head tonight on a bed
of California stars
Yes I'd give my life
To lay my head tonight on a bed
of California stars
I'd like to dream
My troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to dream
My troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed
Make another day
Underneath my California stars
Jump up from my starbed
Make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes
On vines that shine
And warm the lovers' glass
Like friendly wine
They hang like grapes
On vines that shine
And warm the lovers' glass
Like friendly wine
So I'd give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
So I'd give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
So I'd give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
(Dream a dream with you)
Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in
my brain, still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and
dampWhen my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe
more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices
never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the
prophets are written on the subway
walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
Holes To Heaven
the air was more than human
and the heat was more than hungry
and the cars were square and spitting
diesel fumes
the bulls were running wild
because they’re big and mean and sacred
and there’re children playing cricket with
no shoes
the next morning we woke up, man, with a
seven hour drive
well there we were stuck in port blaire
where boats break and children stare
and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to
heaven
mmhmm
and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to
heaven
mmhmm
disembarking from the port
with no mistakes of any sort
moving soundly, engine running smooth
officials were quite friendly
once we drown them with
our sweet talk
and we bribed them with our
cigarettes and booze
the next morning we woke
up man with the sunrise to
the right
moving back north to port
blaire
where boats break and
children stare
and there were so many
fewer questions
when stars were still just the
holes to heaven
mmhmm
yes and there were so many
fewer questions
when stars were still just the
holes to heaven
mmhmm
"How It Should Be (Sha Sha)"
when i was a movie star, an asteroid had hit the earth and prematurely
ended my career. i thought out loud, but no one heard me saying:
"nothing isn't nothing, nothing's something that's important to me. that's right.
and everyone's a little nothing, that's ok, that's how it should
be."
that's right. that's right. sha sha. sha doo.
when i was an astronaut, i bought a fancy charm. i thought you liked it but
you called it cheap and at my feet it felt like:
"so sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. and don't
bother me when i'm watching 'planet of the apes' on t.v."
that's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo.
"so sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. the sound, it
found the ground and it hid it for free."
that's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo.
Oh baby baby, oh baby baby

believe) know I still believe
That you will be here (I lose my
mind)
And give me a sign...
Hit me baby one more time!
The Distance
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But hes driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
Hes going the distance.
Hes going for speed.
Shes all alone
In her time of need.
Because hes racing and pacing and plotting the
course,
Hes fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
Hes going the distance.
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
Hes haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, hes still driving,still making the grade.
Shes hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause hes racing and pacing and plotting the course,
Hes fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But hes striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
Cause hes going the distance.
Hes going for speed.
Shes all alone
In her time of need.
Because hes racing and pacing and plotting the course,
Hes fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
Hes racing and pacing and plotting the course,
Hes fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
Hes going the distance.
Hes going for speed.
Hes going the distance.
