I’m gonna build the perfect girl A sparkling eye, a golden curl She’ll never lie, or fight, or slack And, best of all, she won’t talk back She’ll be the talk of all the town And she’ll pick me up when I feel down And she’ll be pretty, not too smart My precious little metal sweetheart To see a girl so operational It’s truly something inspirational She’s tailored to your every need Her model’s destined to succeed Oh, just wait until you see her Everyone will love her or want to be her She’s something different, something grand Satisfaction guaranteed because your wish is her command Practically perfect in any given way She’ll always remember to ask about your day Who needs intelligence when you’re artificial Who does it hurt to be a little superficial? To see a woman so sensational Is truly something motivational The perfect blend, the perfect breed Her model’s destined to succeed Oh, just wait until you see her Everyone will love her or want to be her She’s something different, something grand Satisfaction guaranteed because your wish is her command She doesn’t need to know what it means to talk She doesn’t need to know she’s not common stock Keep her in her place another pretty face Keep her under lock Cause if she doesn’t know then she’ll be at ease She’s doesn’t know there’s a lock, she’s not looking for the keys She’s all alone and all she’s known Is she’s made to please To have a wife so operational Is truly something inspirational She doesn’t age or cry or bleed Her model’s destined to succeed Oh, just wait until you see her Everyone will love her or want to be her She’s something different, something grand Satisfaction guaranteed because your wish is her command With every kiss you’re falling deeper In love, you bet that she’s a keeper Don’t let her go on unmanned Satisfaction guaranteed because your wish is her command

Building castles with your hands Icecream melts into the sand Endless days spent on the beach Childish thoughts drift out of reach A perfect picture never shows All the sadness and the pain that lurks below You smile but really want to scream Build a castle to imprison all your dreams Building castles out of sand They won't ever understand Waves will wash this all away You've no reason left to stay A perfect picture never shows All the sadness and the pain that lurks below You smile but really want to scream Build a castle to imprison all your dreams

What the hell? How could you think that that was going to work? Can’t you tell? Get a clue. Now the system’s gone berserk. Put it down, walk away, go and sit over there. See the spring that’s askew? It’s installed in reverse. Everything that you do makes the world a little worse. Take a nap, eat some cheese, just get out of my hair. Why must I be burdened by such lazy, dense incompetence? That’s delicate; Just leave it on the shelf. So now it’s my job to ensure that your stuff is fitting. Temples throb, must endure freaking babysitting. Tell you what: nevermind, I’ll just do it myself. One could not rearrange that and judge it benign. Here’s a thought: for a change, maybe follow a design? I’m all ears, lay it out, let me hear your intent. O(log n)? Not so fast. I mean surely you jest. Say again how that passed for an automated test. There go more perfect wheels for you to reinvent! So you choose what no one uses; what the hell, you might as well Just target MIX and log it out with GELF. If coding a link or a span is above your station, Who could think you can handle the integration? Try rethinking your life, while I do it myself. I remember a time when all Septembers had an end So elite so sweet, how complete the world was then Really now, listen up, I don’t mean to be rude, But holy cow, I’m thinking, yup, one could only conclude That you’re pulling my leg, only fooling around. If you ought to have flunked on the Person Exam, And I’m not being punked on a secret hidden cam, Then the only way out starts with dumbing it down. I need to ask a simple task, so here you go, some pre-made dough For hotting like some arboreal elf. Then again, let’s pretend that you’re playing hooky. What I most recommend, for a decent cookie: Steps 1-n are let me do it myself.

Deep in my heart where your memory lies There's a handful of dreams of a summer gone by And we're a long, long way away from that warm night in July It's like yesterday is pulling me back to your side Day after day we build castles in the sand Night after night the tide comes rushing in Flags that flew on high are knocked down by the wind Until we pick them up and build it all again Often things we love become things we revile So despite our love we split for a while My heart was standing still as my soul was standing trial Hoping to recall -- why did we walk down the aisle? Day after day we build castles in the sand Night after night the tide comes rushing in Flags that flew on high are knocked down by the wind Until we pick them up and build it all again Here on the strand, years drifted away Now here we stand with nothing to say You hold out your hand... who needs talk anyway? And we pretend it was all just a long midsummer day Day after day we build castles in the sand Night after night the tide comes rushing in Flags that flew on high are knocked down by the wind Until we pick them up and build it all again ...We'll build it all again.

when I was young I build castles made of little wooden blocks but now I am older I can't afford much but in my dreams I'm rich I'm gonna build me a house build us a house a beautiful house a home sweet home a butterfly garden a balcony with lake view a fireplace, a pool room (anything more) a cool swimming pool I buy a brick and a brick and brick by brick I'm gonna build me a house build us a house a beautiful house a home sweet home it will protect us from the storm it shields us from the rain it keeps us warm in the winter it even survives a hurricane I'm gonna build me a house build us a house a house in the sun a home sweet home I'm gonna build me a house build us a house a beautiful house a home sweet home and then we can have a slumber party a slumber party all night long

I kissed your lips As sweet as strawberries And I knew I was in love Three short years That we were married Doesn't seem like quite enough I never said That I was sorry For all the stupid things I've done Now it's too late To tell you I'm sorry Or how much I miss you now you've gone Won't you build me a bridge Across the river Filled with all the tears I've cried Build me a bridge Across the river And help me get to the other side I visit your grave And tell you I love you As I try not to break down Your headstone is stained With tears from the river Won't you help me before I drown Build me a bridge Across the river Filled with all the tears I've cried Build me a bridge Across the river And help me get to the other side And help me get to the other side

I quit my job today work was way too tough mopping floors and stocking shelves they didn't pay enough your eyes won't look at me you're trembling to the car quiet and you can't take anymore now I'm finding my way back to your heart but this river is keeping us a part i'm still in love with you I hope you are too now i'm building this bridge back to your heart the day started anew with slamming of the door how rude of you i'm so tired from a night out at the bar the note said find a job this wasn't on my list i'm catching up on the cooking shows i missed now I'm finding my way back to your heart but this river is keeping us apart i'm still in love with you I hope you are too now i'm building this bridge back to your heart

MY TINY HOUSE IS TOO TINY So, what do you think? (laughs) Wow Yeah? It's really coz… OW! My life turned upside down when my spouse Decided she wanted a tiny house So we built a house on a trailer And now I ply the roads like a sailor There’s no kitchen, there’s no hall Just one small space to hold them all Sit on the toilet, put your feet on the bed And remember please to mind your head I don’t mean to sound too whiny but my tiny house is too tiny You can check out this awesome groove But you’ll have no room to move Stand real still and I’ll give you the tour But then you saw it all when you walked in the door No storage, so it’s all easy to find You gotta go outside to change your mind Some people think it looks so cute It’s like wearing a giant wooden suit I’m not getting used to this shrinkage The only guest that we can have is Peter Dinklage I’d like to sail the sea so briny Because my tiny house is too tiny No peanut butter, there’s no doubt Because there’s no room to spread out (squeezing in the solo) I have nowhere left to hoard Just two t-shirts and an ironing board Some gym shorts and a pair of jeans Instant coffee and a can of beans That is all that I still own Cause that’s all that can fit in my home So if you decide you want to live in a kiosk Remember, nothing rhymes with kiosk.

You draw a circle. Then go ahead and draw 3 more circles with the same diameter, centered anywhere on the circumference of the first circle. Put lines from the first circle's center to each other center. Put lines from the new circles' centers to where they intersect with the other 2 new circles. A 5th circle begs to be drawn. Connect the new circle's center to the a fore mentioned intersection points. Lo and behold. 5 2 dimensional shapes have manifested a 3 dimensional object. 2 alludes to 3. Could 3 allude to 4? Existence is a room. Maybe there's a door. I want more. I want more. I want more.

I know what I’m looking for Don’t need the Senate anymore For the plan that’s in my head I need engineers instead You better get ready, here it comes I’m gonna build a Death Star I’m gonna build a Death Star I’m gonna build a Death Star With my giant laser gun Chasing rebels will be fun If they get too close to me I’ll catch them with my tractor beam Call me crazy, I don’t care I’m gonna build a Death Star I’m gonna build a Death Star I’m gonna build a Death Star Let’s get rid of democracy ‘Cos I want to rule the galaxy My victory is on its way This weapon is too big to fail With five septillion tons of steel I’m gonna build a Death Star I’m gonna build a Death Star Cute, little Death Star

My grandpa could make anything, So it seems at ten years old. We made plans to build so many things, So ambitious, so bold. Summer after summer, Plan after plan, I had no idea we were building a man. Summer after summer, Plan after plan, Now it’s plain to see, We were building me. My father taught me patiently When to work and when to play. We don’t stop until the work is through, And when we’re through, we’re on our way. Weekend after weekend, Plan after plan, I had no idea we were building a man. Weekend after weekend, Plan after plan, Now it’s plain to see, We were building me. Now the man that they were building Is moving on with life. Building cribs and beds and strollers, Fixing toys and bikes and life. Day after day, Child after child, I hope that I’m building Three new lives. But day after day, Child after child Now it’s plain to see, They were building me.
