Album 1980 26 Songs. Available with an Apple Music subscription. Browne worries for his son (“The Only Child') and wonders how he himself will soldier forth (“The Pretender”). In the end, his poetic lines beautify the truth, while the full band gives him a hopeful edge. The Pretender is a world of consequence—a heavy but deeply rewarding listen.
“Pundits are declaring mobile the new PC. The number of mobile phones far outstrips the number of desktops.
Mobile phones are available to people in the developing world who never had an opportunity to buy or even use a PC. With phones becoming smarter, there will be even less need for people to own PCs.

Microsoft has dominated the PC-based world ever since it drove Apple close to extinction in the mid ’90s,” Saad Fazil writes for VentureBeat. “But with Apple’s strong footing in mobile, its recent release of a larger, tablet form factor, iPad, also based on its mobile iPhone OS, and more form factors likely on the way to challenge the traditional PC, we may be in for a rematch.” MacDailyNews Take: Welcome, Saad. (There’s a reason why Bill Gates took his marbles and went home when he did; even he could see it coming.) Fazil continues, “Several companies realize that the future lies in mobile. Google, with its obsession about mobile advertising and its foray into the mobile OS space with Android, is a good example. And Microsoft is certainly rethinking its strategy with Windows Phone. But while these and other players develop their mobile strategies, Apple has already built a huge lead, not only with its powerful iPhone operating system, but with the vast number and variety of applications available on that OS. The jury’s still out on whether Apple’s iPad will be the huge success many expect it to be.
But even so, the app development community has so much faith in Apple’s ecosystem that we’ve seen startups and bigger companies racing to join a gold rush of app development for the platform. There are more than 150,000 apps available on iPhone and a lot more to come on iPad.” MacDailyNews Note: There are currently as of publication. Oops, make that 185,532.
Uh, 185,533 You get the idea. Note also that Fazil has underreported the number of apps in Apple’s App Store by approximately the total number of apps available for distant runner up: Google Android (although his “more than” serves as an out of sorts). Fazil continues, “Now that Apple’s gained a solid foothold in the mobile market, there’s nothing to stop it from expanding its mobile OS and mobile devices — from smartphones and tablets to other, more computing-intensive devices — until it’s once again in a face-to-face fight with Microsoft for dominance of the computing market. And if it does, this time I believe it’ll win.” MacDailyNews Take: BINGO!
Fazil explains “how Apple could use its lead in the mobile market to redefine the PC industry, and unlike Microsoft, which has gone mobile by stripping down its Windows operating system to create Windows Mobile, will move up the market, from smartphone to PC-like device, by growing its iPhone OS to support new kinds of functionality and devices” in the full article – highly recommended despite our assorted wiseassery above –.

Way to go Ohio. Thin Line Between Love and Hate - It’s a thin line between love and hate It’s a thin line between love and hate It’s a thin line between Love and hate It’s a thin line between love and hate It’s five o’clock in the morning and you’re just getting in You knock on the door and a voice sweet and low says, who is it?
She opens up the door and lets you in Never once asks where have you been She says “Are you hungry? Did you eat yet? Light of the Moon Take a message to my love And don’t say where you saw me Seven men crossed the river And they took all the money Colour the wind And search deep within And by the light of the moon Light of the moon Light of the moon We begin again Secrets whispered in shadows While the village lay sleeping Guiding me to the answer Bang a drum and I’ll follow Say they’re taking the children Oh, I think they’ve forgotten Does their innocence wander On its way back to my love. Dance! I Remember You I remember you I remember the first time we met I may be a sentimental fool Forever in your debt For something I cannea forget I remember you I remember you I remember the first time we spoke Sound of your voice like a lover’s tongue Got in my ear when I’d just begun To wonder if springtime was through I remember you How do we change so easily? You’ll always be a part of me I thought you’d never go It shows you what I know I remember the first time we slept What a surprise to wake up to Someone I hardly knew From asleep to a dream come true I remember you.

Everybody’s gone insane to catch a plane to hold the heavens closer, oh They want the kingdom but they don’t want the king They want his throne There’s no time, there’s no time at all Where has everybody gone?
With great pleasure I sing your national song Because your beautiful land will soon be long gone And the ashes of your memoirs will be strewn across the lawn Hack your face, save your case, reserve your place in the ever-after, oh Cause hallowed halls are lined with walls That are cracked by the myriads laughter There’s no time, there’s no time at all Where has everybody gone?

Where’s the one I’m holding out for When’s he walking through the door the one that you walked through If he isn’t you?
If there was a man etc Happy endings never find me I put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me all my chances all fell through but If there was a man out there for me I wish it would be Someone who could love me too If someone was you. =- Millionaires They’re just millionaires They got the money, but who cares? They’ll never be like you and me Cause money can’t buy poverty They think they govern our affairs They’re just millionaires When they pass us in their cars They look at us like we’re from Mars Those distant eyes look sympathetic We slash their tyres ‘cause we’re pathetic And we get paid for the repairs By the millionaires!
They’re just millionaires They got the money They got the money yeah! They’re just millionaires They got the money child They got the money yeah! If they’d just leave us in their will We’d all be dressed to kill And burn our polyester flares With the millionaires! May This Be Love Waterfall Nothing can harm me at all My worries seem so very small With my waterfall I can see My rainbow calling me Through the mysteries Of my waterfall Some people say Daydreams are for all the lazy-minded fools With nothing else to do So let them laugh Laugh at me So just as long as I have you To see me through I have nothing to lose Long as I have you Waterfall Don’t ever change your ways Stay with me for For a million days You’re my waterfall.

Spirit Of Life (Fall Down on your Knees) - Your body is trouble, rarely at rest Running and wandering in sleeplessness The stars are majestic, peaceful and all But where in this room will a little light fall?
We all have to mourn and we all have to die But can you fall down on your knees to the spirit of life? We’ve all lost something, just what I don’t know The body it trembles, the tears overflow Your breath comes and goes of its own accord Out of your lungs to speak a few words Mothers and fathers, lovers and friends Parties and tantrums all come to an end Memories washed out like cans to the sea Lost in the joys of eternity I saw death standing out by your car When I called you up a strange woman was there You lit a cigarette, she was dressed in black I’m still waiting for you to call me back We all have to mourn and we all have to die But can you fall on your knees To the spirit Of Life. Hollywood Perfume I went out on the balcony In the middle of the night The hotel was dark except for just one light Television burning in the other room I couldn’t sleep so I put on some of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony And looked across the way Some guy was shadow boxing, he looked like Sugar Ray I was feeling dizzy, began to swoon Was it his punch or was it just your Hollywood perfume? -= Night in my Veins I see him standing silhouetted in the lamplight I cross the street and I quicken my pace He cups his hands and he lights a cigarette I find myself in the bones of his face It’s just the night in my veins Making me crawl in the dust again It’s just the night Under my skin, slipping it in He’s got his hands in my hair and his lips everywhere Oh yeah! It feels good, it’s alright Even if it’s just the night in my veins He’s got me up against the back of a pick-up truck Out of sight of the neon and glare We might as well be on a beach under the moonlight Love’s language reads the same anywhere He’s got his chest on my back across a new Cadillac Oh yeah!
It feels good, it’s alright Even if it’s just the night in my veins Even if it’s just the night in my veins I’ve got my head on the curb and I can’t produce a word Oh yeah! I feels good It’s aright Even if it’s just the night in my veins x4.
Money Talk -=- I’ll come in your car to talk business No business, no money talk Zero in on my full intention I think you got it ’cause you pulled up and stopped If money is the root of all evil I’m begging at the feet of the Devil Talk to me please Money talk to me Twenty gets you straight, forty gets you other Think of what a hundred could do I’ve been gifted with the thing that you want So who’s better than who? Never underestimate a woman like me The kids have got to eat And man, that’s reality, you see Money talk to me So deluded You think that I’m real You pass your hormones off as love For five minutes you feel Now you can buy a squidgy little silicone sack But it won’t feed the world Like the ones that I pack naturally Money talk to me.
977 Every time I end up waking up in some hotel without my set of keys coming to, remembering the way you turned me out when I was on my knees you think that was ‘one up’ for you but i know I scored something too. When i see the way you have to struggle just to do a little, simple thing I feel apologetic just because I’m not particularly suffering So i let you take me down I’m like your rent a clown When I saw my baby cry i knew that he loved me That was some great victory he cried because of me he hit me with his belt but his tears were all i felt When I saw my baby cry I knew He loved me. When you try to cut me down and push me back if I attack your attitude I rise up to the challenge coz I like to taste the sugar of your violent mood Just like a stormy sea you’re natural poetry to me When I saw my baby cry i knew that he loved me That was some great victory he cried because of me he hit me with his belt but his tears were all I felt When I saw my baby cry I knew he loved me I knew he loved me.

Beef steak, clothes and a box at the races – they love that dirty paper with the ugly faces if I could see you in your glory baby even for a minute I’d give up my shelter and everything that’s in it oh don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t yeah!

– one more day to get it right I decided to stop dying no more cheatin’ no more lyin’ what kind of club opens its gates to sinner like me? And bids them forth unto eternity chorus under the buckeye trees where the rubber city grew I owe the last ride to you.
You Didn’t Have To - Thank you boy for your beautiful flower Thank you boy for the stars in your eyes Thank you boy for giving me your finest hour What a surprise – You didn’t have to Thank you boy for the time that we wasted Thank you boy for the things that you said Thank you boy for every strange thought I tasted You’re off your head – You didn’t have to And hearing my story From your occupied territory Thank you boy for the sound of your voices Like a hammer or drill Thank you boy for giving me no choices You know I will – You didn’t have to. Rosalee Rosalee Where you been so long Rosalee, Rosalee Where you been so long When you smile at me All the lights come on Rosalee, Rosalee Come and dance with me again Rosalee, Rosalee Come and dance with me again You’re my one true love You’re my oldest friend It don’t matter now Who was right and who was wrong It don’t matter now Who was right and who was wrong Cause you’re here with me Back where I belong Rosa come out here In the summer night Can you see off there Almost out of sight Your love calls to me Like that far distant light Oh Rosa. Alone What am I gonna do today? Walk to the newsstand, Check out the warzone, Check the listings, see what’s good on, Oh, there’s one I’ve been wanting to see. Anyone here up for a movie?
Nobody tells me I can’t, Nobody tells me I shan’t, No one to say ‘You’re doing it wrong’, I’m at my best, I’m where I belong, Alone. Yeah, I like it. Now I’m out prowling the streets, With the poets and the Greeks and the deadbeats, I’m taking my time, sitting on park benches, And all the glamour it all starts down here, This is where the trends begin.
Life’s a canvas and I’m on it. Nobody tells me I can’t, Nobody tells me I shan’t, No one to say ‘You’re doing it wrong’, I’m at my best, I’m where I belong, Alone, I like it, yeah, I like being alone, And the other thing I like to do, Go to the graveyard and hang out with you, And have a smoke and practice my autograph, Then sit back and re-read your epitaph and it says: ‘Don’t you laugh as you walk by, For as you are so once was I, And as I am so you shall be, Prepare for death and follow me,’ Alone. Yeah, I like that. I like being alone, Yeah, what are you gonna do about it? Nobody tells me I can’t, Nobody tells me I shan’t, No one to say ‘You’re doing it wrong’, I’m at my best, I’m where I belong, Alone, Yeah, I like it.
I like being alone. What are you gonna do about it? Absolutely fuck all, Yeah. I’ll do whatever I want. Roadie Man I’m in love with a man, He’s in love with the road.
It’s no surprise, it’s no riddle, A roadie’s wife plays second fiddle, To the razzle dazzle on the stage, She has to be a widow and a sage. Roadie man, Taking music to the people, Any way he can. Propping up the falling stars, He’s there to bring light and sound and power, He’s the man who’s standing in the tower, He’s my long gone, doggone roadie man. Christmas time’s a lonely time, Even when the church bells chime, Hark, the herald angels sing ‘boo hoo’ What happens on the bus stays on the bus, It don’t mean nothing, or require a fuss, A vow of silence is the code. That keeps the backline on the road, Whatever happens, happens – has to be, But don’t rely on domesticity. Roadie man, Taking music to the people, Any way he can.
Propping up the falling stars, He’s there to bring light and sound and power, He’s the man who’s standing in the tower, He’s my long gone, doggone, He’s my gol darn, long gone roadie man. He’s my long gone, doggone He’s my gol darn, long gone, He’s my doggone, long gone, Road man, Roadie man, roadie man, roadie man. Gotta Wait - I’m in love with a man, He’s in love with the road.

Never Be Together Promises and champagne and cigars, Dizzy heights of passion’s ecstasy, These are just some things that can’t be ours, And will never be, Restaurants and cinemas and taxis, Walking through the city hand in hand, Those are things for lovers, only lovers, Do you understand? - Let’s Get Lost - Let’s get lost, let’s get lost, Let’s get lost, let’s get lost. Well, I wear it like a charm, A tattoo on my arm, Your name in a horseshoe, Talismans and such, I rely on them to touch, And get close to you, Well, I try just a little, Try just a little, Keeping my fingers crossed, Oh, I get high just a little, High just a little, Now I’ve found you, Let’s get lost, let’s get lost, Let’s get lost, let’s get lost. Riding on a bus, Thinking about us, And what you’d be saying, If you and me were real, And you feel what I feel, And not just playing, Ooh, I get high just a little, Try just a little, Keeping my fingers crossed, Ooh, I get high just a little, High just a little, Now I’ve found you, Let’s get lost, let’s get lost, Let’s get lost, let’s get lost. It’s inexplicable, irrefutable, Now it’s begun. Ooh, it’s undeniable, non-negotiable, You’re the only one, Let’s get lost, let’s get lost, Let’s get lost, let’s get lost.
Blue Eyed Sky - No one understands me, Like my baby, No one understands, Like that man. He knows, I will never leave him, No one understands me, Like him When the morning comes, I go to him, He’ll be standing in the sun, Hair gone blonde, He’s waiting, For the waves to reach as high, As the blue-eyed sky. He knows, he knows, My love overflows, Like rivers to the sea, He comes and goes, My love it grows and grows, And doubles when he leaves, When the evening light, Starts to dim, I’ll be entering another starry night, Without him, The waves, And the moon and I rely On his blue-eyed sky, He knows, he knows, My love it overflows, Like rivers to the sea, He comes and goes, My love it grows and grows, And doubles when he leaves, And doubles when he leaves, No one understands me, Like my baby, No one understands, Like that man, Jiva spirits never die, In his blue-eyed sky. One More Day When do I get To see you again? When do I get To see you again?
I wait, I wait, I wait One more week, One more year, One more day, Time passes slow, When you watch every minute, The clock has two hands and a face, But I can’t find you in it, I wait, I wait, I wait One more week, One more year, One more day, Love, what a travesty, It sure made a fool out of me, I used to scoff at such lovers, Now I’m tossing and turning, In twisted covers Walking the dog, Singing my blues Passing the synagogue, Paying my dues, I wait, I wait, I wait. I Hate Myself I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself For being jealous, I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself For things that you can’t see, I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself For using other fellas, To blindside you, To get inside of me. Believe me I’m not saying that I’m proud, To undermine and sabotage your scene, I wouldn’t want to say some things out loud, But everybody does it, and you know what I mean.
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself For backing the wrong horse, I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate my masquerade Of black and blue, I hate myself I hate my reckless, phoney Self-destruction course, And coming last, conceding second best to you, And if on Judgement Day, I’m told to make my way, To take up lasting residence downstairs, I’ll look to see if others, Who backstabbed their own brothers, Got a lighter sentence, Showing mercy and repentance. I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself I guess I’m just too smart, I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself In body and in mind, I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate these Perversions of the heart, I hate myself upfront, I hate myself From behind.

Death Is Not Enough -= Goodnight, Oh my sweet love, Let me cover your heart with a rose, Sleep tight, My deceived love, Well you saw only thorns I suppose.
