Mister Big Time

Jon Bon Jovi

Armageddon [Original Soundtrack]

1998

I've been watching my TV
It's got a hundred different stations
They all look the same to me
Now I'm ready for a new sensation

I'm getting ready for the big time
Someday I'm going to be in big time news
Don't have to take it when you're big time
Someday you'll call me Mr. Big Time too

In the big reclining chair
With a cold six pack of beer
You've got a front row seat
Lean back and put up you're feet
Man, the future is looking bright from here

I'm getting ready for the big time
Someday I'm going to be in big time news
I can taste it, I'll be prime time
Someday I'm going to be in big time news
Don't have to take it when you're big time
Someday you'll call me Mr.

Uncle Walter

Ben Folds

Brick: The Songs of Ben Folds 1995-2012

2018

Your Uncle Walter saw
Who fired the shots
He drove his chair in the cavalcade
He's flown from South Africa to
Countries where they beat themselves
On the backs with chains
There was a fleet of battleships
And one reclining chair
Headed north on the Arabian sea
Now he's back to tell us how
He and his oldest boy Blair
They're getting rich on
A mail order scheme oh oh

[Chorus]

Your Uncle Walter told me
Everything he'd do if he were president
Now what a perfect world
This world would be
If he were president now
But he's not!

Hourglass

At the Drive-In

In/Casino/Out

1998

Sucks me in, taking a ride
And I'm wishing for the satellite
Grabbing vein pulling down on the radio
Laughing at the face that's bending down

I'm all alone so far up here
And my oxygen's all gone

Bend the metal
My glory box has failed
We're rocking in our reclining chairs
Drive away that car
That brought us all this harm
Those are the pieces of my story line

I'm all alone so far up here
And my oxygen's all gone

Truly stressing realization
I wish I was an astronaut
Eight hour bitterness all for whose sake
Stain glass Sunday school charades

Uncle Walter

Ben Folds Five

Live

2013

Your Uncle Walter's going on and on
'Bout everything he's seen and done
The voice of 50 years experience
He's drunk, watching the television
You know he's been around the world
Last night he flew to Baghdad
In his magical armchair
Cigarettes and a six pack, he just got back
Now the spit's flying everywhere

Hey, hey, hey, hey (Your Uncle Walter's going on and on)
You're back so late (Where did you go that you were gone so long)
How could you leave me here so long with Uncle Walter

Your Uncle Walter saw who fired the shots
He drove his chair in the cavalcade
He's flown from South Africa
To countries where
They beat themselves on the backs with chains
There was a fleet of battleships
And 1 reclining chair
Headed north on the Arabian Sea
Now he's back to tell us what
He and his oldest boy Blair
They're getting rich with their mail order scheme

Oh, oh (Your Uncle Walter's going on and on)
We're so glad you're home (Where did you go that you were gone so long)
How could you leave me here so long with Uncle Walter

Your Uncle Walter told me
Everything he'd do if he was president
Oh what a perfect world
This world would be
If he was President now
But he's not

And he sees the children smoking pot
He knows that in a moment
They'll be shooting up heroin
Teardrops in his armchair
A 50 minute lecture
Tobacco juice rolling down his chin

Hey, hey, hey, hey (Your Uncle Walter's going on and on)
You're back so late (Where did you go that you were gone so long)
How could you leave me here so long with Uncle Walter

Never Relaxed

Daniel Johnston

Story of an Artist

2010

there was this kid named syd and he was born
maybe the doctor hit him a little too hard
he just seemed to have gotten off to a bad start
never relax never relax never relax

big brothers and big sisters gave him lots of attention
but syd was a hyperactive kid
he just never seemed able to sit still
never relax never relax never relax

never relax
never relax never relax never relax

unlike the other kids on his block
syd never learned how to walk
he just ran around acting nervous
never relax never relax never relax

he sat in school in detention
drawing funny pictures on the wall
not a moment of peace did syd ever find
never relax never relax never relax

never relax
never relax never relax never relax

now when syd discovered mastrubation
he just couldn't keep a good thing down
but it didnt help much his condidton
never relax never relax never relax

syd signed up for the army
cause he got tired of working in the pottery
and they sent him to a foriegn country
never relax never relax never relax

syd met this girl in east germany
and she invited him up to his room for some tea
then she pulled out a gun and took his money
never relax never relax never relax

she shot syd through the head
and syd died and went to hell
and he burned and he burned and he yelled
never been relaxed never relax never relax

now the devil said this aint fair
most people who come here have had their share of comfort
so he sat syd in a reclining chair
but it was an electric chair
never relax never relax never relax

never relax
never relax never relax never relax

Sitting stagnant 
Through no fault of mine 
Beyond the door 
It is not safe
Best to keep away 
It has spread through the air
Not to all but to some 
I'll do my part 
And keep my breath inside 
Sitting on a reclining chair 
Watching the silver screen 
Listening to Charles X 
Talk about human genes 
Peeling months off the calendar 
Why do I still have one of these 
Return to my reclining chair 
Where I will stay and get by 
Time begins to erode 
It does not matter anymore 
My cells inside are changing  
The next evolution
Adapt to survive

Please take my coat
Cause if you don't
I'll feel just as cold as I would if you actually took it
And then I'll feel
The warm feeling
Of the one who would ask but who thought that they actually couldn't
I wouldn't mind spending my whole life
In reclining chairs just watching the people pass by
I'm in my element, I felt it one time
Just one time
I'm a girl in my prime, oh God let me feel it this time
I'm a girl in my prime, oh God let me feel it this time
In my mind there's a river
And out from my eyes it flows
Into the one that I love
And I'm standing as tall as the mountain tops
And I'm lying asleep in the riverbed
With my feet in the canyons below
And I wouldn't mind spending my whole life
In reclining chairs just watching the people pass by
I'm in my element, I felt it one time
I've been chasing ghosts
Oh I've been racing time
I know I blame the fools
Though the blame is mine
I wouldn't mind spending my whole life
In reclining chairs just watching the people pass by
I'm in my element, I felt it one time
Just one time
I'm a girl in my prime, oh God let me feel it this time
I'm a girl in my prime, oh God let me feel it this time

I can't breathe when I'm talking through a screen
Lights fly towards me like I'm casted for a scene
A poetic little drama that everyone will see
When they turn their channels over to ITV
His face has gone red, he can't think of shit to say
Their eyes tell their mind, their opinions on their face so
Get off the stage stress about the day and realise well no ones even looking anyway
Were you lookin' for me
Were you lookin' for me
I'm 3D to you
Skinny red and blue
Reclining chairs and
A scene stuck together with glue
I'm 3D to you
The walls seem blurry and everything is falling out of place
The TV is shallow I've been running from grace
Some type of comedy only lunatics would laugh to
Some type of odyssey only sinners are put through
Were you lookin' for me
Were you lookin' for me
I'm 3D to you
Skinny red and blue
Reclining chairs and
A scene stuck together with glue
I'm 3D to you
I'm 3D to you
Skinny red and blue
Reclining chairs and
A scene stuck together with glue
I'm 3D to you
I heard you've been looking for me
I hope you like the scenery
Cardboard trees they live for centuries
Security block the exit and the ceilings in the lights
I heard you've been looking for me
I hope you like the scenery

for the A-bomb melody
It merrily whistles down on me
I'm wrapped in silver foil
My blood is on the boil
B-52s flutter coyly

All I want is a flat in Berkeley Square
With colour TV set, reclining chair
Big box of Suchard for me to devour
Antique grandfather clock, phone in the shower

Hurrah!

I'm Sorry

Hothouse Flowers

The Best Of

2000

This song tells exactly how, when I was, while I was
Sitting back on my deep pile reclining chair
Thinking about my life and all the good things that happened

Well, it just came to mind to me that
Yeah, came to mind to me that
I ain't been treatin' her too bad, too well, too well

No I been pushin' her 'round and you know
There comes a time in every mans life when he's got to
Look over his misdemeanors, misgivings, misfortunes and
Miss whatever her name is

Yeah, I'll say you're sorry, sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
'Cos I been telling you lies, standing on your face
I been making you cry all over the places, Lord
I should have known, yeah, I should've known better
Well, I could not phone, Lord I, I could, I could, I could, but I'm

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

You know I'm crazy, sorry
Sorry, sorry, baby, baby, baby

I think this time I realized
Get down on my knees and apologies

Oh Lord, I didn't know when I hurt you
I didn't know when you cried
I didn't know when you screamed, "Lord"
I didn't know when you stopped to cry

I didn't know when you called
I didn't know when you hurt
I didn't know sweet Mama
I didn't know, I should, I am

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Grabbing vein pulling down on the radio

I'm all alone so far up here
And my oxygen's all gone

We're rocking in our reclining chairs

Those are the pieces of my story line
I'm all alone so far up here
And my oxygen's all gone
Truly stressing realization
I wish I was an astronaut
Eight hour bitterness all for whose sake
Stain glass Sunday school charades

The past don't exist and neither does the future
Free The Robots; we all trapped in our computers
Hail King Capital STEEZ, we gotta salute ya
I wish you were still alive with 2Pac hiding in Cuba
Sooner or later, the truth is gon reveal itself
The pain will never heal itself so I will never kill myself
What really helps is conversations with family
But all of my peoples are on constellations and galaxies
Happily far away from my unfortunate reality
My coordinates match the speed of light
I'm in Giza right inside the Pyramids
Getting high as spirits is
But didn't need LSD to see what life really is
I could never trade my integrity for a check
And I could never trade in my equity for respect
I got that millennium puzzle around my neck
In attack position, my Dark Magician is coming next



Metaphysics, the new cats, they on the dizzicks
The kinetic waveform, you got a retarded welcome backwards
They full potential against the mental the frental
The conventional the Kingdome cream of Sonya, Sonya
Take Shaun Dorrsetty, I'm ready beat every freakin fairy
Confetti, them niggas are Betty - they can't worry
Soft they crunchin up like the prune and strawberry
Jello to jelly they live in our belly
Ladies with thongs movin booties in the ho-telly
Sham doo, sham Kool
You bitch I'm tellin 'round like Clam Do
Legend like Wamboo
I'm grand dude, reclining chair and the fan too
Double otter, boat on the water
B sail, I'm a rider (I'm a rider)
From Nevada, Afrika Bam, Jam
Planet Rock all like badda, deep dada
Leap over Kotter, I'm full of V8 granada
I stay hotter, like an enchilada
You gotta watch my pockets or get smacked
With a knotter you wet Siotta
When the motorcycle club come up I'm a rider
Male outer dam a gram, from Scotland to Amsterdam
Cut off your hamster's hand
You don't wanna bring a child to rap against a man
Gifted, lifty, shifty
Mixey ladies at the bar gettin tipsy
My Huskie name was Shisky
Y'all drunk red lips on whiskey

I've been frying my brain every day 
Now that I'm past elementary 
Empty-headed dreams I dream 
Every night that they would happen 
Oh how your illusions were the 
Things I loved the most 
It's garage sale season you can smell the dust 
And the used smoke that rots on the pavement 
There's so much stuff for you to get rid of 
You'll probably just find a dumpster 
To throw out that perfectly good 
Plaid reclining chair 

This is not the way you wanted it 
Where you can't make up your mind 
Everyone's got something to lose and 
You just have a little more 
And you're willing to just throw it away 

Everything you have that's on display is 
Another thing that you want to be gone 
I'll talk you down from five to four because 
I need a shelf for all of my movies cuz 
I got nothing better to do with my time 
I wish I had tattoos and at least a 
Single black denim jacket but 
How well would I fill that out you know 
My brother's rain jacket from the sixth grade 
Hangs in my closet and it fits me pretty well 

We all die young, yeah we all die young by our dreams 

But isn't it such a great life 
Where you can suffer and breathe at the same time 
That reclining plaid chair that you sit in 
And realized every night 
That this was never going to stop 
It's probably going to go on for the rest of your life

So what happened, let me on

[Verse]:

Aiyyo, aiyyo
E-lec-tric slide on them niggaz
Drive by on them niggaz
Show'em that killas is live and fly figures
Fruit-flavored Nikes
Now I'm in a six hundred white piece
Send half my love out to wif-e
Fillin out tax reports
Lookin live up in Guess shorts
Bitches show love and support
Table teaspoons
Fake goons with balloons shit it out

Superfriends equal foul niggas
Bar miss you'll flip yo
Aim the nozzle

Figure like Ike Frost
Icy chain
Cop and hangin on a horse
Lames laws
Got your name crossed
You cannot claim boss
Unless he kiss braid hair

Fly statistics lystics
Slang optimistic
Two bats a tie and a biscuit

Bought it like a ten dollar outfit
Pop Shit get your house lit

Staring at my man Gordy Laury
The bitch bought'em on

Flossed it, cost it, tossed it

Milliwakee brewers
Rocking Wu shoes with Kaoluas

Cuddled up in HDM's
Chill baby on and a nigga here

Pussy in a refrigerator back here

Freak nigga that taps shit

Swazy, Swazy
Swavy Swavy wavy
Swazy ACY SwACY SwACY (haha yea)
I'm gonna be great, I can smell the air
Demons in my face, I ain't got no fear
If you roll a bit blunt, y'all better share
If you roll a bit blunt, y'all better share
I'm comin' up in your jeans like Freddy Krueger in your nightmares
I'm makin' the music in my reclining 'clining chair
I'm gonna be great, I can smell the air
Demons in my face, I ain't got no fear
If you roll a bit blunt, y'all better share
If you roll a bit blunt, y'all better share
I'm comin' up in your jeans like Freddy Krueger in your nightmares
I'm makin' the music in my reclining 'clining chair
On the moon, steal the moon
On the moon, steal the moon
I never lose, no, no, no, no
Dig locked in, Vihaan too
PGR goin' to the moon, I gotta stay loose
Crack the window, open it, I smell the gas in the air
Steppin' on the pedal, goin' fast, might crash
Don't stop and stare
In the left lane speedin', ain't no switchin'
I'm makin' my own way, my own pavement
On the moon, we go
Jupiter to Saturn, next
Oh, I might reach Pluto
All my birthday stars align in the heaven is signin'
I'm gonna be great, I can smell the air
Demons in my face, I ain't got no fear

If you roll a bit blunt, y'all better share
I'm comin' up in your jeans like Freddy Krueger in your nightmares
I'm makin' the music in my reclining 'clining chair
On the moon, steal the moon
On the moon, steal the moon

There's a diamond eye on the boarder line
Or so it's believed to be
With uncertainty and fears
So prevalent on reclining chairs

While there's a sorrow
Here tomorrow
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for me

There's a dozen roses on the final milestone
Waiting as a prize for the prized
And yet another mind only sees a razor's edge
For every kind

Still we only know
There's a sorrow
Here tomorrow
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for me

And the diamond in their minds
Holding promises as a thin disguise
For disguising the uncertainty
And the pain that might otherwise be faced

While there's a sorrow
Here tomorrow
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for me

Still we only know
There's a sorrow
Here tomorrow
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for anyone
Too soon for me

(Oh my God, Ronny)

The devil hit my phone, he wanna talk
But I'm not really up for conversations
I can have my cake and eat it too
I just gotta make a reservation
Chillin' in my head but it's hot
Flames everywhere, I see Satan
Demons tryna run up in my spot a lot
Really, really runnin' out of patience

Timing, timing, timing
All about timing, timing, timing
Sit back in my chair, relaxing and reclining
He has not a care in the world, no, I'm lying
Takin' all these meds to the face got me flying
Takin' all these meds to the face got me dying
Smoke 'til my mind frying, eyes red, high and crying
Numb the pain with Oxy and Dior, yeah, pricey
Juice like Tupac Shakur, no ice tea
Givenchy, Louis V, Double V, icy
Wedding ring, better things, better half, wifey
Only things numbing me from this hard life, uh, uh, alright

The devil hit my phone, he wanna talk
But I'm not really up for conversations
I can have my cake and eat it too
I just gotta make a reservation
Chillin' in my head but it's hot
Flames everywhere, I see Satan
Demons tryna run up in my spot a lot
Really, really runnin' out of patience

I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
Sittin' up waiting, waiting, waiting
Contemplating, my heart racing
Feels like I'ma die every second of the day
So I gotta get high
Ain't no coming down, ain't no coming down, why?

Summer season of self repair, motel bathroom and reclining chair
Novel genre, being alone, fiction ego, paper throne
Barron locations, town and range, a couple months brought down in two days
Consolation in isolation, consolation in isolation
Homeliness in loneliness

The last time that I wrote to you was two addresses ago
I think you'd like my outfit, but I'm losing it steady and slow
Anyways, it boggled you to think: I felt the way you felt about me, about you
Isolation, insulation in isolation
Wonder how you feel now

He's in a willow tree grown taller than me, reaching for the sky, for his son
One more day with him, please, I only ask for one
I can see the hospital bed, I'll remember good times instead
Consolation in isolation, consolation in isolation
There's a hole I'll never sew

Sickly season of self repair, stressful sleep and stubborn hair

Swam past the lights
Found the hallway that hides
Under every reclining chair
Hands over my lap
The eyes of my family
My friends and bright lights overhead

Tracy, Tracy, you're my Budabega
I'm one of the places you'll go
I don't know how to live
I just found out what it means
To be entitled to grow

Oh what a summer, he said
""Come play outside""
But I was busy helping a king
And when finally i got down in the pool we threw around a ball 'till it rained
At night he'd put on music to sleep
Whale sounds and mantras of old
And then the dark got clear, and everyone dreamed
Of the things that had yet to come

Tracy, Tracy, find your Budabega
In one of the places you'll go
And you won't lag behind
You'll get there floating in style
Because you know what you know.

In this madhouse
She slinks away
Into the darkest corners
She wants to breathe
The nitrogen
Instead of stale filtered air
The gurneys roll
By doors at night
The nurses speak so sober
The classic films
And old TVs
She sleeps in her reclining chair

And in her head she's shouting

Oh to be well
To be free
From a hospital
Oh to be breathing
To be seeing the sunshine again

Her daughter tries
To rebuild
The furniture so tired
The ugly head
Of angry hearts
The never slept in twin bed

Saving the lives of the unstable
Taking the pulse of the undignified
Setting the bones of the unbreakable
She wants to be well
She wants to be well

Oh to be well
To be free
From a hospital
Oh to be breathing
To be seeing the sunshine again
Oh to be well
To be free
From a hospital
Oh to be breathing
To be seeing the sunshine again

Rush from the house to the ambulance
She ran off at fourteen
Kissing the lips of the man who would
Leave her alone and so desolate
Bitter and desolate
And filling her lungs up with smoke

Oh to be well
To be free
From a hospital
Oh to be breathing
To be seeing the sunshine again
Oh to be well
To be free
From a hospital
Oh to be breathing
To be seeing the sunshine again

Yeah, yeah, yeah I do this with ease, it's not even fair
I play back the beat, reclining in my chair
I'm climbing, climbing up, it's like I'm on some stairs
Give out another feat, go to sleep and repeat
I hop on your track, just about any beat

And you already know that it's gonna be heat But I speak for everyone, this is not easy
Not easy, opening track, but it still go crazy
In the whip, high speeds, you can't catch me
Yeah, you can't catch me
Yeah, yeah, yeah I do this with ease, it's not even fair

I play back the beat, reclining in my chair
I'm climbing, climbing up, it's like I'm on
some stairs
Yeah, it's like I'm on some stairs
You don't like my music, I don't really care Yeah, you just finished the race, but I was
already there
Yeah, you just finished the race, but I was already there yeah oh

It's not easy, you gotta put a lot of work into this
You feel me, no really
I've been trying, trying to get the song right
I wanna make a song that truly can excite
Yeah, yeah, yeah I do this with ease, it's not even fair

I play back the beat, reclining in my chair I'm climbing, climbing up, it's like I'm on
some stairs

Here's a story
Of a lovely lady
Who watched too many romantic comedies
She was saddened by
The fact she couldn't
Find a gay best friend

Watch me I'm sex crazed
Kiss me I'm covered in glitter
Bet you're thinking I'm a pervert
I'm a twink and you're an observer
Watch me in my animal cage
I'm a master or I'm a slave
Leaned back in a reclining chair
Latex, bondage, I don't care

Because all gays want the same old thing
Straight boys, virgins, your purity
I can't take blood tests because I'm diseased
Hide your boyfriend, 'cuz I want to see
His penis pants down on the floor
Don't have standards, I'm a whore
Penis pants down open wide
My mouth is open, cum inside
I'm myself and I can't pretend
That I love to gossip and I'll be your gay best friend

Here's a story
Of a lovely lady
Who watched too many romantic comedies
To be fair, she also watched the show "Friends"
And she wanted, and she wanted, and she wanted
A gay best friend

Some years from now
I'll lose all my hair
Then we will look more alike
I'll spend my days
In a reclining chair
And sleep soundly each night
Now I wear this watch
You once wore it too
With every tick, I get closer to you
My mother's father
Here's to all that you taught her
Because all you passed to your daughter
Was passed on to me
Not so long from now
You'll lie in that bed
And I'll wish I knew all those memories in your head
The ones that time took with it as it fled
And left you only pain instead
Now I wear this watch
You once wore it too
And with every tick, I get further from you
My mother's father
You're not who you once were
And I know it's not that you've got anywhere better you could be
But when it happens, I hope you're ready to leave
And I hope it was worth it
I hope that you had enough time
To do all you wanted
I hope the last thought in your mind
Was one that you wanted
But the ativan and morphine
They kept you from speaking
Yeah, they kept you sleeping
While the family stood, weeping
And those machines kept beeping
And time kept creeping
Oblivious to everything
Until you just stopped
