Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight
and bull-strong. 

Keep skunks and politicians, & bankers at a distance. 

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

 A bumble bee is considerably faster than a
John Deere tractor.

 Words that soak into your ears are whispered...
not yelled.

 Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

 Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.

 Do not corner something that you know is meaner
than you.

 It don't take a very big person to carry a
grudge. 

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

 Every path has a few puddles.

 When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

 The best sermons are lived, not preached.

 Most of the stuff people worry about ain't
never gonna happen anyway.

 Don't judge folks by their relatives.

 Remember that silence is sometimes the best
answer.

 Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get
older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

 Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't
botherin you none.

 Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a
rain dance.

 If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to
do is stop diggin'.

 Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get
got.

 The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever
have to deal with, watches you from the mirror
every mornin'.

 Always drink upstream from the herd.

 Good judgment comes from experience, and
A lotta that comes from bad judgment.

 Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot
easier than puttin' it back in.

 If you get to thinking' you're a person of some
Influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog
Around.

Sometimes goodbye Is a second chance Please don't cry One tear for me I'm not afraid of What I have to say This is my one and Only voice So listen close, it's Only for today Well, I just saw Hailey's Comet shooting Said why you always running In place? Even the man in the Moon disappears Somewhere in the Stratosphere Tell my mother, Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying... Sometimes goodbye Is a second chance Heres my chance This is my chance Tell my mother, Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying...

Breaking Inside

Caught a chill And it's still frozen on my skin I think about why I'm alone, by myself No one else to explain How far do I go No one knows If the end is so much better why don't we just live forever Don't tell me I'm the last one in line Don't tell me I'm too late this time I don't want to live To waste another day Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside I don't want to fall and say I lost it all Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall Leaving pieces of me behind And I feel like I'm breaking inside Out here, nothings clear Except the moment I decided to move on and I ignited Disappear into the fear You know there ain't no comin' back When you're still carrying the past You can't erase, separate Cigarette in my hand, Hope you all understand I won't be the last one in line I finally figured out what's mine I don't want to live To waste another day Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside I don't want to fall and say I lost it all Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall Leaving pieces of me behind Leaving pieces of me behind And I feel like I'm breaking inside I won't be the last one in line, I finally figured out what's mine I don't want to live To waste another day Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside I don't want to fall and say I lost it all Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall Leaving pieces of me behind Leaving pieces of me behind And I feel like I'm breaking inside And I feel like I'm breaking, I feel like I'm breaking inside

Take it and take it and take it and take it and take it all
Take it and take it and take it until you take us all
Smash it and crash it and thrash it and trash it
They're only toys
Try it you'll like it don't hide it don't fight it, just let it out
Steal and shoot it and kill it or take another route
Take it and take it and take it
You know they're only toys
Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour
Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way you go!
You want it you want it you want it you want it
Well here it is
Everything everything everything
Isn't so primitive
Take it and take it and take it and take it and take it all
Nobody nobody wants to feel like this
Nobody nobody wants to live like this
Nobody nobody wants a war like this
Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour
Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way you go!
Diving down
Round and round
Diving down
Round and round
Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour
Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way you go!
Devour Devour
Suffocate your own empire
Devour Devour
It's your final hour
Devour Devour
Stolen like a foreign soul
Devour Devour
What a way you go!

 Lindsey Buckingham - Go Insane

 

 

   
 

 

 

 

   

Lindsey Adams Buckingham (born October 3, 1949) is an American guitarist and singer, most notable for being a member of the musical group Fleetwood Mac. Aside from his tenure with Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham has also released four solo albums and a live album. He is married to photographer Kristen Messner and has three children. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

 

Buckingham met Stevie Nicks while they both attended Menlo Atherton High School, and later formed The Fritz Rabyne Memorial Band with her and three other friends. Buckingham's fingerpicking style gave him difficulty playing rock guitar, and thus he moved to bass. After gaining popularity at Menlo-Atherton High School, "Fritz" became a popular local act and even opened for such acts as Santana, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.

After cutting some demos with Fritz for producer Keith Olsen, Buckingham and Nicks struck out on their own, and Fritz disbanded in 1971. Buckingham and Nicks became involved romantically, dropping out of San Jose State to pursue a career making music together. Buckingham was stricken with a case of "mono" (Infectious mononucleosis) and his illness forced Nicks to begin waiting tables and cleaning houses to support the couple, while allowing him the free time to master his guitar techniques.

 

Unlike many rock guitarists, Buckingham does not use a plectrum, or a pick. Instead, he uses his fingers and fingernails. In 1979, he worked with Rick Turner, owner of Renaissance Guitars to create the Model One. He has used it extensively since, both with Fleetwood Mac and for his solo efforts.

 

Fleetwood Mac

While checking out the Sound City recording studio in California, Mick Fleetwood heard the song "Frozen Love" from the Buckingham Nicks album. He asked who the guitarist was, and immediately stated that he wanted him to fill a recent vacancy. Buckingham insisted to Fleetwood that he and Nicks were a package deal--if Fleetwood didn't want Nicks, he wouldn't get Buckingham. The duo was quickly asked to join Fleetwood Mac on New Year's Eve, 1974.

And the rest, they Say Is History........

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... You'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
