On Being Me: No Matter Where You Go, There You Are P3

May 26th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Identity, Music, Rebel Songs, Words

I want to share a song that has had a great impact on me when I first heard it. I am working on trying to translate it for sign singing it.

It is called No Matter Where You Go, There You Are, by the Irish folk-rock singer-songwriter, Luka Bloom.

No Matter Where You Go, There You Are is a political song about a Muslim man who had to leave his country, to avoid being drafted into the army. It details his flight, wandering, homelessness and subsequent befriending of another homesick man.

Even though the song details a specific experience, about a specific person, there is plenty of detail, that it be can read as a metaphor of how one can never really run from themselves.

The kicker is its chorus:

You must go, follow your star
No matter where you go, there you are
No matter where you go, there are you
So don’t let go of what you know to be true

Listening:

Innocence

LYRICS: DEAFIES THEY SCARE……

March 30th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Rebel Songs, Words

They’re gonna clean up your genes
Passing the HFEB
Just to try and nomalise you
Because they seethe in their sleep
And keep an eye on you kids
To stop your hands saying the things you do

The implants are not enough
They always wear that smirk
Cause they got methods of making you hear
They’re gonna rip off your hands,
Your aspirations to shred
Another cog in the nomalisation machine

They said all Deafies scare the living**** out of me
They could care less as long as they make them all hear
So wave your hands or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls on the slab
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all Deafies scare the living **** out of me
They could care less as long as they make them all hear
So darken your claws and strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all Deafies scare the living **** out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

All the parents now!

Deafies they scare the living **** out of me
Somebody implant them so that they can all hear
So rip of your clothes and submit to the HFEB
Then we’ll leave you alone, but not me

[x2]

STOP PRESS: NEW THEME SONG FOR “THE FIX YOUR EAR SO YOU CAN LISTEN TO YOUR REAR” CAMPAIGN

November 14th, 2007 | 2 Comments | Posted in Humour, Rebel Songs, Words, Writing

I listen all day, I listen all night
I still can’t hear a word you say
Say it again
I said this, and I said that,
I enunicated clearly
But you still said, “What?”
So I must start a new campaign
To change the world
For you and your friends
You’d have brand new ears
So you can hear your rears…..

Ears,ears,ears
It rhymes with rears,
Beautiful rears
Ears, Ears, Ears
Fucking good ears
So you can hear your rear
Ah ha, ah ha,
All those sounds you make
Are for you and your friends to enjoy
And maybe smell your rear

Under the surgeon’s Knife
I did submit,
But I was so afraid
When I woke up the next day
My head was in pain
And my bed drenched in sweat
The surgeon came
He smiled a lot
The op was a success
And soon I would hear,
But when he removed the bandages
I died of shock cos all I could hear, was

Money, Money, Money
For your ears
So you can hear your rear
Money, Money, Money
Give us money
So we can change your world
Ah ha, ah ha
Too much money, is never enuff
I want a Mercedes Benz
And a condo in New York………….

On Marriage & Being Owned

September 23rd, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Personal Development, Rebel Songs, Relationships

Since the onset of legalising or recognising civil partnerships for Gays and Lesbians, there has been a spate of Deafies in the UK rushing to the altar [breaking of stilletoes and wiping up of running mascara]. Never you mind who they are. Just take my word for it, it’s a mad rush, and my lips curl ever tighter. I know I’m a cynic, but I just cannot stand being owned by another person. It’s frigging hard enough just maintaining the different relationships that litter my life [family, friends, and work colleagues], without contemplating being tied [shackled, chained, psychologically mutated, et al, take your pick of words] to another human being. Don’t get me wrong. I’m perfectly capable of bonding, loving, loyalty, and good deeds to human beings, just not the label, “OWNED BY…..”

People have this tendency to fuck you up basically!

Anyway, I was talking to my friend Alison, after another friend of hers got marriage. I commented how many of the Deafies in the UK were rushing to the altar, falling over, hitting their heads and losing all common sense. Sure, I’m maintaining a civil tongue now [much to Liam's chagrin], though at the time I was picking the shit out of a mutual friend.. when she asked me, in jest. Surely? When was I gonna tie the knot? When was I gonna come back to the UK and marry my X. If she could have seen my face when she asked me that question, she woulda seen my lips curl with derision. Utter derision.

That is not to detract from the fact that, and I repeat, I’m perfectly capable of bonding, loving, loyalty, and good deeds to human beings, just not the label, “OWNED BY…..”

This conversation got me thinking of my theme song. Contrary to popular opinion, it’s not a
wild rocking thing, or pop paeans to butt fucking, but the following tune [which I have also done a sign sung version of, though not on video], still in the spirit of rebellion, which I dedicate to Alison, who I suspect [rather strongly] shares the same derision and utter contempt for the label, “OWNED BY…..”

YOU CAN MAKE ME WANT YOU WANT YOU (QuatroTuckey)

Well you thought you got an angel
But I’ll tell you it just ain’t so
This careless mamma ain’t no baby don’t you know
When you touch me you set me aglow
And when I’m in your arms I really don’t wanna go
You can make me want you
But I ain’t gonna love you
Ain’t gonna be the one at home waitin’ for you
I feel the rhythm but I’m never gonna feel the pain
Lady little lady
I’m an actress in your game
Dancin’ and romancin’
What you tryin’ to gain
Just lead me up to your bed
But if I stay all night
I’m gonna get inside of your head
You can make me want you
But I ain’t gonna love you
Ain’t gonna be the one at home waitin’ for you
I feel the rhythm but I’m never gonna feel the pain
Just like the rain is falling
Tears pour from my eyes
You know the way you feel
For me came as no surprise
I guess I’ll be moving on
‘Cos another lover’s arms
Are waiting for me to call
You can make me want you
But I ain’t gonna love you
Ain’t gonna be the one at home waitin’ for you
I feel the rhythm but I’m never gonna feel the pain
I feel the rhythm but I’m never gonna feel the pain
