Was at the Byron Boogie 2 years back, and the Saturday-night DJ thought that
would be a good tune to play ... it got boooed down so fast that it never got
past the opening chords.

'new disease' by spineshank (kinda harder)

'Everlasting' by Moby for a 'softer' more relaxed song.

Fatboy slim, prodigy, etc etc have some pretty cool ones for freeflying too.

Yes, "get busy child"!
What a bunch of pussies!
Tom Petty, Van Halen... what a bunch of ass munchers!

Now this is from Oingo Boingo and I'm not sure of the title of the track
but it goes something like this;

You worry to much/you make yourself sad
You can't change fate / but don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can/ It's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother.......

No one lives for ever!!


I'm so happy ,
dancing while the Grim Reaper,
cuts,cuts,cuts,
but he can't get me!

I'm as clever as can be, and I'm very quick but don't forget,
We've only got so many tricks and

No one lives forever!!!

I don't think it's very fair
Cold ,Chop,Low, But it's all relative my freind 'cause

No one lives forever!!!

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and I don't wanna die.

No one beats him at his game
for very long/ but just the same
Who cares , there's no safe place to hide
Nowhere to run / no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
Cause any second it may end.
And when it's all been said and done...
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell- why make your life a living hell?

So have a toast ,and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust ,

'Cause... No One , No One , No One, No One, No One , No One

No One Lives forever!!!!!

You remember a band called, "The Come Organization?" No shit-that was
there name. Serious industrial grind.

Nevermind on going to see the new Two Towers trailer that's now tacked

Where can I find this in MP3 format, or on a CD? Preferably

Minister - "The Drop" ... Instrumental-only piece that sounds like it
would make a perfect backdrop for a skydiving video.

There's also Guster's "Parachute". I've seen (heard) this one used as
a backdrop before, although I personally don't think it fits that
purpose well.
