NoMeansNo Victory"When I set out on this journey I thought it would never end, When I started down that road I could not see the end. And when I took that first step I fell in so deep. And all those things that were so hard-won, I thought I would always keep. Now what do you think I see standing like a wall in front of me...Defeat, not victory. Defeat, not victory. Defeat, not victory.So what are you going to do? Die? No! you gonna lay down and die? No! I will not admit defeat, I will not admit defeat, I will see victory. Pride and deceit have choked my life like weeds. And I lost sight of what I really had what I really need. And all the things I should've valued, I gave away for a prayer and a song. And now when I reach out for them they are gone. Now you know what I see standing in front of me, like a headstone, a fucking monument to human misery.Defeat, not victory. Defeat, not victory. Defeat, not victory.Do I have any friends here? I can't see, are any of my friends here? I can't see. What about you? Will you be a friend to me? What about you? Will you be a friend to me? I've got a question to ask you and then you can ask it of me. It's a simple request and then you can make it of me. Can you forgive me? Can you see what will be? Is it victory?Now I can't show you all the things I've seen. And I can't make you feel anything, certainly not what they meant to me. And someday I know, no matter how hard we try, we are all going to have to lay down and die. So maybe I should just tell you what I hope and believe, for every defeat there will be a victory. For every defeat there will be a victory. In defeat, victory." ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------Hey , I'm Jay, nice to meet you. I've pretty much dropped out of the local scene for the past decade. I was in Kelowna for a few years, then came back with my ex, bought an acreage and totally lost touch. I've gone to a handful of shows in that time, but when I was young, things were different. I used to go to every show, saw SNFU more then 65 times. I've had room mates that played in tons of great local bands ( SNFU, the loved one, Deadbeat Backbone, King Lettuce, Euthanasia, Killing Time, etc...) I have smoked pot with dozens of other bands ( Rev. Horton Heat, Butthole Surfers, Greenday, Tilt, Bad Brains, the Misfits, Fishbone, Selecter, Subhumans, Down By Law, Grim Skunk, and many, many more). I have even kissed a RAMONE! lol.Now, if I go to a show, it's usually by myself. I don't recognize the faces their, I kinda feel like Grampa Simpson when he said "I used to be it, but then they changed what it was, now what I'm with isn't it and what's become it seems weird and scary to me". Lol.
