RushCon reminded me of this one...i hadda scrounge it out of the "attic"


Waiting for the Bus


Here I stand
A buck in hand
Waiting for the bus.
In the blink of an eye
The bus flies by
And I begin to cuss.

The driver, you see
Did not see me
I guess I'll wait some more.
With a nasty frown
I hate downtown
and the suburbs even more.

I'd rather live
Where people give
A wave and a smile
Or say "Hello"
Or nod their heads
Pleasant all the while.

It's so damned hot
And what I bought
Swings and bangs my knees.
The sun beats down
On my blistering frown
My God, its a hundred degrees.

Now my transfer's expired,
And I'm feeling tired...
Oh great, I have to pee.
No time for a smoke
Or to finish my Coke,
A distant bus, I see.

Other people arrive.
The countdown's alive.
We begin to form a line.
Backpacks and bags
And nasty old hags
With attitudes just like mine.

This is good!

April

 

The months have fallen

like the pedals of a rose

I constantly wonder

where the time goes.

 

Preying that April is coming

and that coldness soon dies

the warming transformation

soothes my sore eyes.

 

April calms my obsessions

and lifts up my soul

April is here now

and my pain has to go

 

And though it's now August

my lonelyness falls

because April's arrived

and her sweet voice calls.

The Rush Forum

 

I found this place, such a wonderful place

The Rush Forum is the place to be!

If you admire Big Al...

Dream of being Neil's gal

The Rush Forum is the place to be!

 

Or maybe you love a sexier man

Someone who's too with the band

A man by the name of Geddy Lee

The Rush Forum is the place to be!

 

You can share your pictures

Talk with your Rush loving sisters

The Rush Forum is the place to be!

You can share a nice a story or two

There is so many things do do

The Rush Forum is the place to be!

 

Laugh and have a good time

Talk about Geddy's obsession with wine

The Rush Forum is the place to be!

Meet new people, see old friends

We will love Rush 'til the end

The Rush Forum is the place to be!

Oh, The Rush Forum is the place to be!

Oh, Geddy

 

Dark hair

Green eyes

He's the guy I idolize

 

His great voice

Serenades me

Oh, how I love Mr. Geddy Lee

 

Listen to how he plays that bass

Or look at his sweet, gorgeous face

 

I would just love to be with him

Even though the chances are less than slim

 

The man is the closest to perfect

As a man could be

Oh, how I love Mr. Geddy Lee

 

His smile, so sweet

Quickens my heart beat

 

Oh, Geddy, I wish you could know

You're the man who I think is so...

Oh, you know...

 

Hot

Gorgeous

Wonderful

Nice

 

Wondrous

Perfect

Such a delight

 

Oh, look what he has done to me

Made me fall in love completely

Oh, how I love Mr. Geddy Lee

Boys In Brazil

 

The Boys In Brazil

Is such a thrill

 

The real reason they were there

Is because they care

And wanted to make things better

 

Despite the weather

Despite that rain

Alex wanted to make

A beef airplane!

 

But don't forget

When the rain first hit

They thought the show would end

 

They carried on

Played a few songs

And in the end ran to their van

 

When Ged and Al got out

Al heard a shout

And stopped to take a pic

With some fans

 

Geddy was mad

Because the climate was bad

For his hair, and maybe his wine?

Oh, the Jews must have a hell of a time!

 

If that's not enough

He broke a nail

And lost his stuff

What a poor man he was

 

What helped them through that tour?

What made it go so much smoother?

 

Soup before sound check

So they were NOT a wreck

They eat soup everyday

 

Talk for hours or not

They still eat soup that's good and hot

 

As Rush left for home

Brazilians wanted them to know

That they gave 'em one hell of a show!

 

So buy it now on DVD

For Alex's sake, please oh please?

So he's not sitting on a Rio beach?

On the beach begging for money?

Or begging to own full pants like everybody?

 

Or for Neil's sake so he can eat more soup?

So he can tour more for me and you?

 

Maybe buy it for Geddy's sake

So he can buy more shoes to replace..

Replace the one's that he has lost..

Pay the price, but do not count the cost!

What has this world turned out to be?

Terrorists, bombing, war, and tragedy?

Don't you know that bombing for peace is like f***ing for virginity?

Can't you see what you're making this world turn out to be?

 

You hear it on the news

You see it on the papers

George Bush speaking about War on Terror

 

You hear the news talking about road side bomb suicide

How a terrorist killed another hundred or so tonight

How the terrorist threat level is now higher

How in a plane crash, there wasn't even one survior

 

What has this world turned out to be?

Terrorists, bombing, war, and tragedy?

Don't you know that bombing for peace is like f***ing for virginity?

Can't you see what you're making this world turn out to be?

Don't Be Someone Else

 

They look in the mirror

And look at themselves

Even though they're just like everyone else

 

Their reflection isn't them

It's just a friend

Just someone who said

"Be like everyone else, just give in"

 

Being yourself is not allowed

If you want to be accepted in the popular crowd

Being different is not okay

Unless you want to be made fun of every day

 

But don't let being different be a worry

Live for yourself

Enjoy your own glory

Don't give in o what others may say

Make your own impression each and every day

 

Stand strong, be ready to fight

Ready to fight for what you know is right

The freedom to be who you want to be

The right to let others know you won't allow being denied by their society

 

But don't let being different be a worry

Live for yourself

Enjoy your own glory

Don't give in o what others may say

Make your own impression each and every day

Friend:

 

Your never alone.

You always have a friend.

You may not know it.

You may not even see them.

But i'm sure

Maybe if

You stand in the light

And you see a black shape.

And it resembles you

I can bet that it may

Just be

That one friend

You've always looked for.

The time I've wasted my biggest regret

Spent in this place, I'll never forget

Just sitting here thinking of all I've done

The crying, the laughing, the hurt and the fun

Now it's just me and my hard driven guilt

Behind a wall of emptiness I've allowed to be built

Behind I'm trapped in my body wanting to run

Back to my youth to some laughter and fun

But the chance is over there's nowhere to hide

Everything is gone including my pride

With reality suddenly right in my face

I'm scared and alone, stuck in this place

Now memories of the past flash through my head

And the pain is obvious bt the tears I shed

I ask myself why and where I went wrong

I guess I was weak when I had to be strong

I just live for the day when I'll get a new start

And the dream that I still hold in my heart.

Today we exchange promises,

tonight we'll pray they're kept

In the morning we wake to face tomorrow,

anticipation on each breath.

 

For the moment we accept our situation,

in the hopes they can change in time

Heaven is love, Hell is loneliness

yet they both exist in our minds.

 

Some say love is over-rated

hard to find and quick to change

And forever I believed this true,

until the day you came.

 

Yesterday I wanted death,

because my past was plagued with pain

But now I've found a love in you,

and learned to live again.

Inspired by Rush [sometimes it's kind of obvious]:

 

I fly on wings of broken dreams

my wings are mine alone

I'm going to spacescapes unknown

beyond the faintest sunbeams

 

You are enveloped in my wings

Hidden in this safe place

We're lifted by unpressured grace

As two, a whole, we cling

 

We've made it to a new home

Where we can just be free

No longer under lock and key

And so close to the ocean's foam

 

I fly on wings of mended dreams

And I'm saved by a dove

A gift of purest love

I've given up to our schemes

I'll try to post more as I find them. I have notebooks everywhere, and I know that the Rush poems are in there, but I have to dig them up...
