About as Much .......
He knew he needed sleep. His face felt granular. Every once in a while his eyes would swim and he'd have to shake his head. Twelve hours steady driving was about as much as a man could take.

Sometimes ......
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I feel real bad
Don't Let me be Misunderstood

Death of a Cyclist
..... stands as a critique of the conformist values that it ridicules and attempts to tear apart. It breaks all the rules and shows the power of cinema to revolutionize daily life.

World looks Crazy
So you think the world looks crazy
And eats up your lies
Like it's good for her
Like apple pies
And she don't even cry

The Ache Sharpened
He had a headache all the way to the city garden that night but it lessened a little in the shadowed dressing room under the stands. The moment he saw the lights of the ring, as he came down the littered aisle alone, the ache sharpened once more.

Things Always Go
In the darkness things always go away from you. Memory holds you down while regret and sorrow kick hell out of you. The only help you'll get is a few hard drinks and morning.
