In the End demo


It starts with one
And multiplies till you can taste the sun
And burnt by the sky you try to take it from
But if it falls there's no place to run
Crumbling down it's so unreal
They're dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again to places you've been
And bending your will till it breaks you within
And still they fill their eyes
With the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad with the way
I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you played your part
Like your heartless take apart this
In the darkness but I know



I've tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter



I've looked down the line
And what's there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now I see that I get no chance
I get no break
Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they close their eyes
To the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad
To the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you played your part
Like your heartless take apart this
In the darkness but I know



I've tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter



I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know



I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know



I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know



I've tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter <-- by Linkin Park

Here is a part of "I Love My Lips":

Ten days after I turned eight,
Got my lips stuck in a gate.

My friends all laughed...
... and I just stood there until the fire department came and broke the lock with a crowbar and I had to spend the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named Oscar who got stung by a bee right on the lip and we couldn't even talk to each other until the fifth week 'cuz both of our lips were so swollen and when he did start speaking he only spoke Polish and I only knew like three words in Polish but except now I know four because Oscar taught me the word for lip, "osta." (pronounced 'oosta')

Here is a part of "We are the Pirates who don't do Anything":

We'll I've never plucked a rooster,
And I'm not to good at ping-pong,
And I've never thrown my mashed-potatoes up againts the wall,
And I've never kissed a chipmunk,
And I've never gotten head lice,
And I've never been to Boston in the fall.

And I've never licked a spark plug,
And I've never sniffed a stink bug,
And I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball,
And I've never bathed in yogurt,
And I don't look good in leggings,
And I've never been to Boston in the fall.

Ooh! I can recite that to speed. *high five*

(these lyrics were in my head today)

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,
A gigantic nuclear furance.
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.

Yo-ho it's hot.
The sun is not
a place where we could live.
But here on Earth, there'd be no life without the light it gives.
We needs its light, we need its heat, we need its energy.
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,
A gigantic nuclear furance.
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.

The sun is hot...

It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum and many others.

The sun is large...
If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside, and yet, the sun is only a middle sized star.

The sun is far away...
About 93 million miles away...and thats why it looks so small.

And even when it's out of site, the sun shines night and day.

The sun gives heat , the sun gives light, the sunlight that we see.
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy.

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun comes from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,
A gigantic nuclear furance.
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.

-- Why does the sun shine? They Might Be Giants.



What rolls down stairs
Alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbor's dog.

What's great for a snack
And fits on your back
It's log, log, log!

It's lo-og, lo-og,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's lo-og, lo-og,
It's better than bad, it's good.

Everyone wants a log,
You're gonna love it, log
Come on and get your log,
Everyone needs a log...

BY BLAMMO!

-- Log, Ren & Stimpy :) (I thought of this song while going over natural logs in Calculus :D)

100 girls or maybe more
Who left me passed out on the floor
I know it might be wrong
I had to write this song
For a hundred girls and hundreds more

There was Katherine in Manhattan
Her mouth was always laughin'
She's always a distraction
'Cuz she always wants some action
At 1 she took me in a cab
2 in a Soho bar
3 she got real bad and jumped me in a subway car

These are Mary's voodoo ways
We would stay in bed for days
In an alligator haze
In her swampy Southern place
She broke me down on Bourbon Street
Curled up at her feet
As Mary flashed the parades
I fixed myself with hurricanes

100 girls or maybe more
Who left me passed out on the floor
I wish I heard you tell me
Make up your mind
Wake up
Make up your mind make up your mind

This is Daisy, this is crazy
Always telling me I'm lazy
Her endurance would amaze me
And her swearing didn't phase me
It was based upon a sweet lie
Like a butterfly she showed herself in many phases
And had a thing for public places
Late at night in Fenway Park
She led me naked through the dark
Daisy let me suffer there, smothered in my underwear

There was Alison and here's the thing
I thought that she was 17
She was 18 but looked 16
And told me she was 23
Valerie who hated money
Stuck me to the sheets with honey
Caroline from Amsterdam took off with some other band
Megan, Kim and the rest
I love you all and that's the test
If I wake up in time how will I make up my mind

Stroke 9-100 Girls

The guys in my engineering class are *always* playing this song ... it's stuck in my head :( (/me glares at Ryan, Tyler and Chell)

Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas

"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinkey tinker toys
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use a dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy, what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinosaurus
I only likes hippopotamuses [sic]
And hippopotamuses [sic] like me, too

Mom says a hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage.

Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Social Distortion - Don't Drag Me Down

Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor, others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down

Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid, and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change see them turn around

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down

(guitar solo :D)

Ignorance like a gun in hand
reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies,
media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen wanna be a man?
Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward
and four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
and paint it black

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around
Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down


I love that song. Mike Ness is my favorite songwriter, ever.

Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction

a febrile shocking violent smack
the children are hoping for a heart attack,
tonight the windows are watching,
the streets all conspire,
and the lamppost can't stop crying,
if I could fly high above the world,
would I see a bunch of living dots spell the world stupidity?,
or would I see hungry lover homicides,
loving brother suicides,
and olly olly oxenfrees,
who pickaside and hide

the world is scratching at my door,
my morning papers got the scores,
the human interest stories, and the obituary

cockroach naps and rattling traps,
how many devils can you fit upon a match head?,
caringosity killed the Kerouac cat,
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

in my alley around the corner,
there's a wino with feathered shoulders,
and a spirit giving head for crack and he'll never want it back,
there's a little kid and his family eating crackers like thanksgiving
and a pack of wild desperados scornful of living

the world is scratching at my door....

cradle for a cat, Wolfe looks back,
how many angels can you fit upon a match?
I want to know why Hemingway cracked,
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

life is the crummiest book I ever read,
there isn't a hook, just a lot of cheap shots,
pictures to shock and characters an amateur would never dream up

Birdhouse in your Soul
 

by They Might Be Giants

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(and while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Heh, Kyle's choice song was one we were singing to on the way back from lunch today. heh

my (lyric appropriate) song:

A song from the greatest band in the world: (Morris Day & The Time are a close second ;))

London Calling - The Clash
London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

CHORUS
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

CHORUS

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a' like

Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue by Toby Keith. This was written shortly after 9/11. But this song says a lot.

---------------------------------


American girls and American guys will always stand up and salute;
Will always recognize
When we see ol' glory flying,
There's a lot of men dead,
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head.

My daddy served in the army,
Where he lost his right eye.
But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died.
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy in the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack.
A mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back.
Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye,
Man we lit up your world like the Fourth of July.

Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly,
And there's gonna be Hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell!
It's gonna feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you...
Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!

Oh, Justice will be served and the battle will rage.
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
You'll be sorry that you messed with the US of A
'Cuz we'll put a boot in your $@#$@#$@#
It's the American way.

Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly,
And there's gonna be Hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell!
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you...
Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!

Of the Red, White and Blue..
Of my Red, White and Blue...

Creed - My Sacrifice

Hello my friend, we meet again. It's been a while, where should we begin? Feels like forever.
Within my heart and memory, a perfect love that you gave to me. Oh, I remember.

When you are with me, I'm free, I'm careless, I believe.
Above, the others will fly. This brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice.

We've seen our share of ups and downs, oh how quickly life can turn around, in an instant.
It feels so good to reunite, within yourself, and within your mind. Let's find peace there.

Cause when you are with me, I'm free, I'm careless, I believe.
Above, the others will fly. This brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice.

I just want to say hello again.
I just want to say hello again.

Cause when you are with me, I'm free, I'm careless, I believe.
Above, the others will fly. This brings tears to my eyes...

Cause when you are with me, I'm free, I'm careless, I believe.
Above, the others will fly. This brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice.

I just want to say hello again.
I just want to say hello again.

My sacrifice.

I have a feeling I won't run out of lyrics fot this thread.

From Reel Big Fish "She's got a girlfriend now"
"never thought it would end like this just because i've got no $@#$@#$@#$@#
i'll shave my legs, i'll wear a bra i'll even cut my &%#!$
off for you...she has a girlfriend now."

From taking back sunday "your so last summer"
"I'll do what I got to, the truth
is you could slit my throat And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleedin on your shirt "

"Maybe lay and let your feelings grow accustomed to the dark,
and by morning's light, you just might solve the problems of the heart."

- Leavin's Not the Only Way to Go, from Big River.

"Do you hear the people sing,
lost in the valley of the night.
It is the music of a people,
who are climbing to the light.
For the wretched of the Earth,
there is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end
and the sun will ride."

- Finale, Les Miserables

"Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do in the name of Heaven,
you can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing,
on the bloody morning after,
one tin soldier rides away."

- One Tin Soldier, from The Legend of Billy Jack

"But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow"

- True Colors, Phil Collins

That's good for now.

Hehehe this is such a funny song by Superchic[k]! It is written by Max Hsu (the starter of the band) and sung buy Matt (the bass player) It is written for the lead singer (Tricia) cause she said that she hated immature guys.

It is called Princes and Frogs (or A Song for Tricia)


You hate men is what you say/
and I understand how you feel that way/
All girls dream of a fairy tale/
But what you've got's like a used car sales/ man
Trying to conceal what's wrong behind a smile and a song/
And I'm not saying that boys are not like that/
But I think you should know/
That some of us will grow/
Because. . ./ All princes start as frogs, and all gentlemen as dogs/
Just wait till its plain to see/
What we're growing up to be/
cause some frogs will still be frogs/
Some dogs will still be dogs/
but some boys can become men/
Just don't kiss us til then.

Ian Dury and the Blockheads - Hit me With Your Rhythm Stick
 

<funk beat>

In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan
Every woman, every man

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich,
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me slowly, hit me quick.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro.

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
Das ist gut! C'est fantastique!
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
It's nice to be a lunatic.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

In the dock of Tiger Bay
On the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fe
Over hills and far away

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
C'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht?
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Two fat persons, click, click, click.

Hey, M. Krass, don't you think some of "At the End of the Day" would be more appropriate for the times?
"At the end of the day there's another day dawning,
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise.
Like the waves crash on the sand,
Like a storm that'll break any second,
There's a hunger in the land,
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned,
And there's going to be Hell to pay
At the end of the day!"


Personally, I'm a big fan of Nickel Creek.
You've got to leave me now.
You've got to go alone.
You've got to chase a dream,
One that's all your own,
Before it slips away.

When you're flying high,
Take my heart along,
I'll be the harmony
To every lonely song
That you'll contemplate.

When you're soaring through the air,
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
For when you come back down
When you come back down.


I'll keep looking up
Awaiting your return
My greatest fear will be
That you will crash and burn,
And I won't feel your fire.

I'll be the other hand,
That always holds a line
Connecting in between
Your sweet heart and mine.
I'm strung out on that wire.

And I'll be on the other end
To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly,
And if you get to high,
I'll catch you when you fall.
Catch you when you fall.


The memories, the sunshine
Every new day brings
I know the sky is calling -
Angel, let me help you with your wings.

When you're flying through the air,
I'll be your solid ground.
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there,
For when you come back down.
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there,
For when you come back down.
"When you come back down" is, I believe, a very good definition of true love.

MC Hawking - Entropy

Harm me with harmony.
Doomsday, drop a load on 'em.

Entropy, how can I explain it? I'll take it frame by frame it,
to have you all jumping, shouting saying it.
Let's just say that it's a measure of disorder,
in a system that is closed, like with a border.
It's sorta, like a, well a measurement of randomness,
proposed in 1850 by a German, but wait I digress.
"What the f%%% is entropy?", I here the people still exclaiming,
it seems I gotta start the explaining.

You ever drop an egg and on the floor you see it break?
You go and get a mop so you can clean up your mistake.
But did you ever stop to ponder why we know it's true,
if you drop a broken egg you will not get an egg that's new.

That's entropy or E-N-T-R-O to the P to the Y,
the reason why the sun will one day all burn out and die.
Order from disorder is a scientific rarity,
allow me to explain it with a little bit more clarity.
Did I say rarity? I meant impossibility,
at least in a closed system there will always be more entropy.
That's entropy and I hope that you're all down with it,
if you are here's your membership.

You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
Who's down with entropy?
Every last homey!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
Who's down with entropy?
Every last homey!

Defining entropy as disorder's not complete,
'cause disorder as a definition doesn't cover heat.
So my first definition I would now like to withdraw,
and offer one that fits thermodynamics second law.
First we need to understand that entropy is energy,
energy that can't be used to state it more specifically.
In a closed system entropy always goes up,
that's the second law, now you know what's up.

You can't win, you can't break even, you can't leave the game,
'cause entropy will take it all 'though it seems a shame.
The second law, as we now know, is quite clear to state,
that entropy must increase and not dissipate.

Creationists always try to use the second law,
to disprove evolution, but their theory has a flaw.
The second law is quite precise about where it applies,
only in a closed system must the entropy count rise.
The earth's not a closed system' it's powered by the sun,
so f%%% the $@#$@#$@#$@# creationists, Doomsday get my gun!
That, in a nutshell, is what entropy's about,
you're now down with a discount.

You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
Who's down with entropy?
Every last homey!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
Who's down with entropy?
Every last homey!

Trash Talk
Hit it!
Doomsday, kick it in!

Desaparecidos - The Happiest Place on Earth


I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don't want to be ashamed to be American
But opportunity, no, it don't exist
It's the opiate of the populace
We need some harder $@#$@#$@#$@# now
The truth is getting around
And each public school is a halfway house
Where the huddled masses sober up and up enough
There's not enough to fatten the cows and feed all of us
It's just a rationing of luck
What can't be bought gets raffled off
Oh God, good god
Shed greed on thee
Your shining sea turned a dirty green from the industry
Off the shores of New Jersey

I got a letter from the army, so I think that I'll enlist
I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something
Too bad that nowadays you just point and click
Swing Lo satellite, hot white chariot!
In the computer's blue glare, the bombs burst in the air
There was a city once-- now nothing is there
Our freedom comes at their expense
It makes sense, doesn't it?
Dollars and cents
They're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
That is surrounding your housing development
Just in case you lack the confidence
My God, oh god, give strength to thee
These amber waves, purple majesty
Are nothing but backdrops for Disney
Well, look up close
It is superimposed on a blank blue screen
It is fantasy, $@#$@#$@#$@#ing magical
The dream floats like a chemical through each snapped synapse
Our television past that is beautiful no more, no more

Phish - Wading in The Velvet Sea

I took a moment from my day
wrapped it up in things you say
mailed it off to your address
you'll get it pretty soon unless

the packaging begins to break
and all the points I tried to make
are tossed with thoughts into a bin
time leaks out my life leaks in

you won't find moments in a box
and someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day
wrapped it up in things you say
and mailed it off to you

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
 

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

The appropriate song with the deadline rapidly approaching...
 

Who Needs Sleep?
Barenaked Ladies
Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just sit back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she’s three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats. The only thing that counts is
that I won’t sleep. I count down, I look around.

Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war
Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war

My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing filled with lists
Of things to do and things I’ve done
Another sleepless night’s begun

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats. The only thing that counts is
that I won’t sleep. I count down, I look around.

Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war
Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war

There’s so much joy in life, so many pleasures all around
The pleasure of insomnia is one I’ve never found
With all life has to offer, there’s so much to be enjoyed
The pleasures of insomnia are ones I can’t avoid

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats. The only thing that counts is
that I won’t sleep. I count down, I look around.

Hala hala hala

Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war
Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war

Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war
Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war

Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war
Who needs sleep? Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake since the second world war

From the Indigo Girls:

Three Hits

Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion.
One could send you down the river
Three's a strange way to be delivered.

Would you trade your words for freedom?
That's a barter for a blind man
Three hits to the heart son,
And it's poetry in motion.

Are you leveed like a treasure?
Only words can help me find you.
And this world's a fickle measure,
I will painfully remind you.

From a wise man to your red hand
You lay covered in our best sins.
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion.

Well I dream you constant stranger
With your best bloods and your anger
You say "mother do you claim me?"
"My beloved do you blame me?"

Well the first two might release you
But the last one sings in me son
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion
Three hits to the heart son
And the last one sings in me

hmm... so much Barenaked goodness to choose from... they really are some of the best lyric writers i've heard... oh, so entertaining!

Barenaked Ladies - If I had a $1,000,000

If I had a $1,000,000

I'd buy your love.

If I had a $1,000,000
I'd build a tree fort in our yard
If I had $1,000,000
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard
If I had $1,000,000
Maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
You know, we could just go up there and hang out
Like open the fridge and stuff
There would already be foods laid out for us
Like little pre-wrapped sausages and things
mmmmmmmm
They have prewrapped sausages but they don't have prewrapped bacon
Well can you blame em?
Uhh, yeahhhh!

Well I'd buy you John Merrick's remains
(Ooh, All them crazy elephant bones)
And If I had $1,000,000
I'd buy your love.

If I had a $1,000,000
We wouldn't have to walk to the store
And If I had a $1,000,000
We'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more.
If I had a $1,000,000
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we’d just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That’s right, all the fanciest ketch-- dijon ketchups!
Mmmmmm

If I had $1,000,000, If I had $1,000,000
If I had $1,000,000
I'd be rich

ugh... I'm not sure if you know down there in florida, but here in New York, the New York State Lotto has adopted that song in a never-ending radio campaign... only they got a buncha drunk-sounding new yorkers to sing it... uggh... no more of that ;-)

Anyways, onto the lyrics

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while...

ehehe.. just kidding... I don't have 5 pages of space to finish all the lyrics to American Pie ;-)
(the old classic by Don McClean, not the movie)

U2 - Peace on Earth

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of the pain
Sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth

Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

It's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth

Matthew Good Band
 

"Weapon"


Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven

Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven

Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
Where the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
And you give out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again

Careful, be careful

Here by my side, it's Heaven

So is my dad, He forces me to listen to them during the 20 min drive to the practice facility. Not my kind of music but the song I like from them is A Lighthouse's Tale I can't find the lyrics right now but you can listen to it here http://launch.yahoo.com/artist/defau...tistID=1049618

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting

And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many thing were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again

I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (....)
And I'd do anything for you

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Do you mean . . . This?

I am a lighthouse,
Worn by the weather and the rain.
I keep my lamp lit,
To warn all the sailors on their way.

I had a keeper,
He helps me warn the ships at sea.
We lived together,
Until his happiness meant everything to me.

That's as far as I can remember without listening to it.


I must say, though, that my favorite American song has to be "The Hand Song."
*listening to "Lighthouse's Tale*
The boy only wanted to give Mother something,
And all of the roses had bloomed;
Looking at him as he came rushing in with them,
Knowing her roses were doomed,
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
And tears that he cried as she tended his wounds.
And she knew it was love -
It was one she could understand;
He was showing his love,
And that's how he hurt his hands.

He still remembers that night as a child,
On his mother's knee,
She held him close, and opened her Bible,
And quietly started to read.
And seeing a picture of Jesus, he cried out,
"Mama, he's got some scars just like me."
And he knew it was love -
It was one he could understand;
He was showing his love,
And that's how he hurt his hands.

Now our boy's grown, and moved out on his own,
When Uncle Sam comes along.
A foreign affair, but our young men were there,
And Luck had his number drawn.
It wasn't that long 'til our hero was gone,
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross.
But they knew it was love -
It was one they could understand;
He was showing his love,
And that's how he hurt his hands.

When sung by that sweet, melancholy voice, with appropriate string accompaniment, it's very touching.



*After listening to "Lighthouse" a couple of times*

. . . wow. I'd forgotten how awesome that one is. I was quite wrong on the lyrics the first time. Here's the correct ones:
I am a lighthouse,
Worn by the weather and the rain.
I keep my lamp lit,
To warn all the sailors on their way.

I'll tell a story -
Paint you a picture from my past.
I was so happy,
But joy in this world seldom lasts.


I had a keeper,
He helped me warn the ships at sea.
We had grown closed,
'Til his joy meant everything to me.
But he was to marry,
A girl who shone with beauty and life,
And they loved each other,
And with him watched the sunset turn to night.


And the waves crash around me,
And the sand slips out to sea
And the wind that blows reminds me
Of what had been,
And what could never be.


She'd had to leave us,
The keeper, he prayed for her safe return.
But, when the night came,
The weather to a raging storm had turn.

He watched her ship fight,
But in vain against the wild and terrible wind,
And me so helpless,
As dashed against the rocks she met her end.


And the waves crash around me,
And the sand slips out to the sea.
And the wind that blows reminds me
Of what had been,
And what could never be.


Then on the next day,
The keeper found her washed uo on the shore.
He kissed her cold face,
"And we'll be together soon" he swore.

I saw him crying,
Watched as he buried her in the sand.
Then he climbed my tower,
And off the edge of me he ran.


And the waves crash around me,
And the sand slips out to the sea.
And the wind that blows reminds me
Of what has been,
And what can never be.


I am a lighthouse,
Worn by the weather and the rain.
And though I'm empty,
I still warn the sailors on their way . . .

Alice Peacock - I'll Start With Me
 

Well we do okay with the things God gave us
Will it be enough when it's time tosave us
One in three can't read
So many mouths to feed
We just sit and wait like a loaded gun

We cloak ourselves in the great tradition
The United States of Acquisition
Every man for himself
Its just me and no one else
Will we ever learn there's a price to pay

America the free
Wake up from your fantasy
Is the nation so divided we can't see
That there's work to be done
Something there for everyone
I know
I'll start
With me

6o'clock it's another story
Gunman down in a blaze of glory
Only ten years old
Make's my blood run cold
And the press descends like birds of prey

Politicians stay in office
Far too long to vote their conscience
Lobbied, bought and sold
Trading votes for gold
They've forgotten that they work for us

America the free
Wake up from your fantasy
Is the nation so divided we can't see
That there's work to be done
Something there for everyone
I know
I'll start
With me

For the beast to stay alive it has to feed
That's why in times of peace
They create an enemy
What we called the BIg Red Scare is just my neighbor
over there
With hopes and dreams
The same as me
The same as me

America the free
Wake up from your fantasys
Is the nation so divided we can't see
That there's work to be done
Something there for everyone
I know
I'll start
With me

An excerpt from "Posioning Pidgeons in the Park"

Spring is here
Spring is here
Life is skittles and life is beer
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring
I do
Don't you?
course you do
but there's one thing that makes spring complete for me
and makes every sunday a treat for me...
...all the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon as we're poisoning pidgeons in the park
you can come see my sweetheart and me as we poison the pidgeons in the park
when the birdies see us coming they all try and hide, but they still go for peanuts when coated in cyanide...

(It goes on and on)


In another post I'll give the lyrics to Bohemian Raphsody (by Queen)

Reel Big Fish - Cheer Up
 

Reel Big Fish - Cheer Up

You say you're down you can’t lose that frown
Life sucks. What else is new? That’s tough.
There's not much you can do- you're not the only one not havin’ any fun

I've got a funny feelin’ we’re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin’ that this life ain’t worth livin’ through
I've been depressed and I get so stressed
Life sucks. I don't wonder why. That's tough.
I just keep on tryin’, so I won’t be the one not havin’ any fun

I've got a funny feelin’ we’re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin’ that this life ain’t worth livin’ through
I'm not givin’ up yet that's not the end of me
But it's not gonna be all right you'll see, you’ll see!
I've got a funny feelin’ we’re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin’ that this life ain’t worth livin’ through

Cheer Up!


Gotta love Reel Big Fish!

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind but now I see.

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did the grace appear,
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come.
This grace has brought me save thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we'd first begun.

~John Newton~

That song brings tears to my eyes.

Basket case by Greenday

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black. Tell 'em all I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Have no place I can be since I found serenity.
But you cant take the sky from me...

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

How can you see into my eyes
like open doors.
Leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
Without a soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home.

Chorus:

Wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become.

End Chorus:

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life.

+Chorus+

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.

Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul

Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.

+Chorus+

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.

Bring me to life

The sun's shining bright,
Every thing seems alright
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park!

We've gained notoriety
And caused much anxiety
In the Aduban Society.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety,
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion,
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So, if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do in
A squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all,
Amidst laughter and merriment -
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strichenine
We feed to a pigeon -
It just takes a smidgeon!
To poison a pidgeon in the park!


Ah, good old Tom Lehrer . . .

SOMEWHERE I BELONG
( ) = Chester's lyrics interlaced with Mike's verses.

[Verse 1] (Mike)

(When this began.)
I had nothing to say.
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me.
(I was confused.)
And I live it all out to find, but I'm not the only person with these things in mind.
(Inside of me.)
But all that they can see the words revealed.
Is the only real thing that i got left to feel.
(Nothing to lose.)
Just stuck, hollow and alone.
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own.

[Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel, What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
Erase all the pain til' it's gone
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

[Verse 2] (Mike)

And I've got nothing to say. I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face.
(I was confused.)
Look at everywhere only to find.
It is not the way I had imagined it all in my mind.
(So what am I.)
What do I have but negativity.
Cuz I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me.
(Nothing to lose.)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone.
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own.

[Repeat chorus]

[Verse 3] (Chester)

I will never know myself until I do this on my own.
Cuz I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed.
I will never be anything til' I break away from me.
I will break away. I'll find myself today.

[Repeat chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel, Like I'm somewhere I belong (x2)
Somewhere I belong...

we don't need this war
I say- There's some things
worth fighting for.

What about our freedom?
and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep them
by backing down.

Now they say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
But before you start your preaching, let me ask you this my friend:

Have you forgotten how it felt that day,
To see your homeland under fire, and her people blown away?
Have you forgotten how those towers fell,
We had neighbors still inside going through a living hell?
And you say we shouldn't worry about bin Laden-
Have you forgotten?

You took all the footage
off of my TV.
Said it's too disturbing
for you and me.
It'll just breed anger-
that's what the experts say.
If it was up to me,
I'd show it every day.

Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
but after 9-11 I'd have to say that's right.

Have you forgotten how it felt that day
to see your homeland under fire, her people blown away?
Have you forgotten how those towers fell-
we had neighbors still inside going through a living hell.
And you say we shouldn't worry about bin Laden-
Have you forgotten?

Now I've been there with the soldiers
who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
just what they're fighting for.

Have you forgotten all the people killed-
some went down as heroes in that Pennsylvania field.
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost, and those left to carry on.
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden-

Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire, her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
That we had people still inside going through a living hell.
And you say we shouldn't worry about bin Laden-
Have you forgotten?

here's a classic by Tom Jones...ahh...those wonderful Oldies. :

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah

I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah

So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah

So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore

so Delilah.. I love you

I originally posted something a little more contraversial, but decided to go with Classic Simon and Garfunkel it's a mix of two very different songs that overlap, the main song and the background song

Scarbourough Fair / Canticle

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

(in the background){
On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:}

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

(in the background){
On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.}

Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

(in the background){
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
General order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.}

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.


yeah it's bad syntax but I've always been a messy programmer

Song #2
 

I'm sorry, I just love music too much, so you get more songs... I couldn't resist

Bob Dylan stuff:

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

First I'd like to say thanks for all the great lyrics, this thread had brightened my morning! Now for anyone who wants to sing to me, here are the words...

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again

It's a bad way
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

:p

D.J. Fluck...
I have to say that I LOVE your taste!!! The Clash is one of the greatest bands of all time. Unfortunately so few people know of them know. London Calling is an amazing song, but my personal fav is Know Your Rights (off Combat Rock).

Now, after reading though this thread, I had to go get out my Nickel Creek cd and listen to Lighthouse. Aye, a great song it is.

I have two songs:

This song will lift your spirits...It brings back memories of my spring break sailing trip in the Floridia Keys:

Jimmy Buffett - Southern Cross

Got out of town on a boat to the southern islands,
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades on the outside,
And the downhill run to Papeete Bay.
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of waterline
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you,
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away.

Think about how many times I have fallen.
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'.
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.

I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman, girl,
Who knows love can endure,
And you know it will (and you know it will).

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time,
You understand now why you came this way,
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small,
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day.

So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dyin',
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin'.
She is all that I have left and music is her name.

Think about how many times I have fallen.
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'.
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.

I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman, girl,
Who knows love can endure,
And you know it will (and you know it will).

So we cheated and we lied and we tested,
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested,
But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
At the Southern Cross

And, I have to put in Garth Brooks - The Dance. What a great song that is.

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

Bill B.

Everyone might think this song and others by John Mayer are played out, but most people have a tendency to not listen to the real lyrics. I love this song, and every time I get down or feel like I have the whole world on my shoulders, I listen to this.

Why Georgia - John Mayer

I am driving up 85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
Just stuck inside the gloom
Four more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right? (3x)
Why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Wood in places to make it feel like home
But all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
Or just the stirring in my soul

Either way, I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right? (3x)
Why Georgia, why?

So what? So I've got a smile on
But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me when I say I've got it down
Everybody is just a stranger but that's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
Still "everything happens for a reason",
And it's no reason not to ask myself

If I am living it right (3x)
Why Georgia, why?

Linkin Park - Numb on Meteora track #13

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes

[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you

[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
And every second I waste
Is more then I can take

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be

The Offspring - All I Want
 

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Day after day
Your home life's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace

Chorus:

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How many times is it gonna take
Til someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by the rules
Now it's their turn to try

Chorus

I've said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
then it might make sense

Chorus

Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is prolly one of my favorite songs, it has a great beat to it, and heck, its Offspring, why would you NOT like it?

My 2nd husband and I have six kids, six grandkids, my 11yo stepdaughter is best friends with my 10yo stepgranddaughter, we have 3 teens still at home. My husband's 8 years younger than I am, my son's wife is 8 years older than he is, all different religions...
our very eclectic family made this crazy lively song a tradition on car trips...

Three little unexpected children simultaneously
The Doctor brought us and you can see
There will be three forever ending
E I O
You wouldn't know how agonizing
Being triplets can be
Each one is individually the victom
Of that clinical day E I O
Every summer we go away to Baden, Baden, Baden
Every winter we come back home to
Wah - wah - wah - wah - wah - wah

We do everything alike
We look alike, we dress alike
We walk alike, we talk alike
And what is more we hate each other very much
We hate our folks, we're sick of jokes
And what an art it is to tell us apart
If one of us gets the measels
The other one gets the measels
Then all of us gets the measels and mumps and flu

Now and then we have a fight, a little fight
We throw our food and pull our hair
And scratch each other and bite

Mrs. Hildendorfer loves to talk to Mrs. Goldenwasser
Of the day she went to Sloan's and had her Silly Willy
Mrs. Hossenkupel loves to talk to Mrs. Elderspritzel
Of her major operation when she had her twins
But when Mother comes along she silences the others
She accomplished something that is very rare in Mothers
For example just to prove that she was more than ample
She admits Lane Bryant thought that they were
Measuring a giant

Dr. Heimedanner almost lost his bedside manner
On the day that he first looked upon us three
We do everything alike
We look alike, we dress alike
We walk alike, we talk alike
And what is more we hate each other very much
We hate our folks, we're sick of jokes
and what an art it is to tell us apart

We eat the same kind of vittles
We drink from the same kind of bottles
We sit in the same kind of high chair, high chair, high chair

Mamma says tha we're a bore
And what is more she didn't want to have us and
And we didn't want to have her
No more



this recording doesn't do it justice

Bring me to life By: Evanescence

How can you see into my eyes
like open doors.
Leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
Without a soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home.

Chorus:
(Wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become.)

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life.

[Chorus]

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.

Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul

Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.

[Chorus]

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.

Bring me to life

Persona- Blue Man Group

Ever morning I put it on.
I walk outside and I am gone
And I don't seem mind anymore
I can't think it was like before
I wore it all the time

U-ah
U-ah

In the evening I take it off
but there's another one underneight
And I can't seem to find
The bottom of the stack
I might just loose my mind
and never get it back
but atleast I'll get inside

u-ah
u-ah

Atleast I'll get inside

There's a feeling I get sometimes
It's so small It's easy to hide
It's like a howling voice
from a distant past
It seems I've got no choice
when it comes to this
It's building up inside

u-ah
u-ah

It's building up inside

Thought I'd post another favorite.

The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

They didn't have the finer things in life to eat

What? No Wierd Al? I am going to have to do something about this...

Wierd Al Yankovic - Albuquerque

Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait shop
You know the place
well anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was just peachy

Except, of course, for the undeniable fact that every single morning
My mother would make me a big bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast

Awww - Big bowl of sauerkraut
Every single mornin
It wa driving me crazy

I said to my mom
I said "Hey, mom, what's with all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear, sweet mother
She just looked at my like a cow looks at an oncoming train
And she leaned right down next to me
And she said "IT'S GOOD FOR YOU"
And then she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my mouth
And force fed me nothing but sauerkraut until I was twenty six and a half years old

That's when I swore that someday
Someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical, far away place
Where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer
And the towels are oh so fluffy
Where the shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long
And anyone on the street will glady shave your back for a nickel

Wacka wacka doodoo yeah

Well, let me tell you, people, it wasn't long at all before my dream came true
Because the very next day, a local radio station had this contest
To see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the grand prize
That's right, a first class one-way ticket to

Albuquerque
Albuquerque

Oh yeah
You know, I'd never been on a real airplane before
And I gotta tell ya, it was really great
Except that I had to sit between two large Albanian women with excruciatingly severe body odor
And the little kid in back of me kept throwin' up the whole time
The flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts
And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore
And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out
And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside
And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died
Except for me
You know why?

'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position

Ah ha ha ha
Ah ha ha
Ahhhh

So I crawled from the twisted, burnin' wreckage
I crawled on my hands and knees for three full days
Draggin' along my big leather suitcase and my garment bag
And my tenor saxophone and my twelve-pound bowling ball
And my lucky, lucky autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel
But finally I arived at the world famous Albuquerque Holiday Inn
Where the towels are oh so fluffy
And you can eat your soup right out of the ashtrays if you wanna
It's OK, they're clean

Well, I checked into my room and I turned down the A/C
And I turned on the SpectraVision
And I'm just about to eat that little chocolate mint on my pillow
That I love so very, very much when suddenly, there's a knock on the door

Well now, who could that be?
I say "Who is it?"
No answer
"Who is it?"
There's no answer
"WHO IS IT?"
They're not sayin' anything

So, finally I go over and I open the door and just as I suspected
It's some big fat hermaphrodite with a Flock-Of-Seagulls haircut and only one nostril
Oh man, I hate it when I'm right
So anyway, he bursts into my room and he grabs my lucky snorkel
And I'm like "Hey, you can't have that"
"That snorkel's been just like a snorkel to me"
And he's like "Tough"
And I'm like "Give it"
And he's like "Make me"
And I'm like "'Kay"
So I grabbed his leg and he grabbed my esophagus
And I bit off his ear and he chewed off my eyebrows
And I took out his appendix and he gave me a colonic irrigation
Yes indeed, you better believe it
And somehow in the middle of it all, the phone got knocked off the hook
And twenty seconds later, I heard a farmiliar voice
And you know what it said?
I'll tell you what it said

It said
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"
"If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator"
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"
"If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator"

In Albuquerque
Albuquerque

Well, to cut a long story short, he got away with my snorkel
But I made a a solemn vow right then and there that I would not rest
I would not sleep for an instant until the one-nostrilled man was brought to justice
But first, I decided to buy some donuts

So I got in my car and I drove over to the donut shop
And I walked on up to the guy behind the counter
And he says "Yeah, what do ya want?"
I said "You got any glazed donuts?"
He said "No, we're outta glazed donuts"
I said "Well, you got any jelly donuts?"
He said "No, we're outta jelly donuts"
I said "You got any Bavarian cream-filled donuts?"
He said "No, we're outta Bavarian cream-filled donuts"
I said "You got any cinnamon rolls?"
He said "No, we're outta cinnamon rolls"
I said "You got any apple fritters?"
He said "No, we're outta apple fritters"
I said "You got any bear claws?"
He said "Wait a minute, I'll go check"
"No, we're outta bear claws"
I said "Well, in that case - in that case, what do you have?"
He says "All I got right now is this box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels"
I said "OK, I'll take that"

So he hands me the box and I open up the lid and the weasels jump out
And they immediately latch onto my face and start bitin' me all over
(rabid gnawing sounds)
Oh man, they were just going nuts
They were tearin' me apart
You know, I think it was just about that time that a little ditty started goin' through my head"
I believe it went a little something like this . . .

Doh
Get 'em off me
Get 'em off me
Oh
No, get 'em off, get 'em off
Oh, oh God, oh God
Oh, get 'em off me
Oh, oh God
Ah, (more screaming)

I ran out into the street with these flesh-eating weasels all over my face
Wavin' my arms all around and just runnin', runnin', runnin'
Like a constipated weiner dog
And as luck wouls have it, that's exactly when I ran into the girl of my dreams
Her name was Zelda
She was a caligraphy enthusiast with a slight overbite and hair the color of strained peaches
I'll never forget the first thing she said to me.
She said "Hey, you've got weasels on your face"

That's when I knew it was true love
We were inseperable after that
Aw, we ate together, we bathed together
We even shared the same piece of mint-flavored dental floss
The world was our burrito
So we got married and we bought us a house
And had two beautiful children - Nathaniel and Superfly
Oh, we were so very very very happy, aw yeah

But then one fateful night, Zelda said to me
She said "Sweetie pumpkin? Do you wanna join the Columbia Record Club?"
I said "Woah, hold on now, baby"
"I'm just not ready for that kinda commitment"
So we broke up and I never saw her again
But that's just the way things go

In Albuquerque
Albuquerque

Anyway, things really started lookin' upi for me
Because about a week later, I finally achieved my lifelong dream
That's right, I got me a part-time job at The Sizzler
I even made employee of the month after I put that grease fire out with my face
Aw yeah, everybody was pretty jealous of me after that
I was gettin' a lot of attitude

OK, like one time, I was out in the parking lot
Tryin' to remove my excess earwax with a golf pencil
When I see this guy Marty tryin' to carry a big ol' sofa up the stairs all by himself
So I, I say to him, I say "Hey, you want me to help you with that?"
And Marty, he just rolls his eyes and goes
"No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw"

So I did

And then he gets all indignant on me
He's like "Hey man, I was just being sarcastic"
Well, that's just great
How was I supposed to know that?
I'm not a mind reader for cryin' out loud
Besides, now he's got a really cute nickname - Torso-Boy
So what's he complaining about?

Say, that reminds me of another amusing anecdote
This guy comes up to me on the street and says he hasn't had a bite in three days
Well, I knew what he meant
But just to be funny, I took a big bite out of his jugular vein
And he's yellin' and screamin' and bleeding all over
And I'm like "Hey, come on, don'tcha get it?"
But he just keeps rolling around on the sidewalk, bleeding, and screaming
(screaming sounds)
You know, just completely missing the irony of the whole situation
Man, some people just can't take a joke, you know?

Anyway, um, um, where was I?
Kinda lost my train of thought

Uh, well, uh, OK
Anyway I, I know it's kinda been a roundabout way of saying it
But I guess the whole point I'm tryin' to make here is

I hate sauerkraut

That's all I'm really tryin' to say
And, by the way, if one day you happen to wake up
And find yourself in an existential quandry
Full of loathing and self-doubt
And wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence
At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that
Somewhere out there in this crazy mixed-up universe of ours
There's still a little place called

Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque

I said "A" (A)
"L" (L)
"B" (B)
"U" (U)
"querque" (querque)

Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque

Albuquerque

(belch)

I know I'm a dork, but here is another SPAM song, and it's by Weird Al...



WEIRD AL YANKOVIC


"Spam"

Spam in the place where I live (ham and pork)
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy)
Spam in my luchbox at work (it's the best)
Really makes a darn good sandwhich any way you slice it at all

If you're running low, go to the store
Carry some money to help you buy more
The tab is there to open the can
The can is there to hold in the spam

Oh, spam on the table at home (ham and pork)
Think about selection, are there different flavors now (let's eat)
Spam in my office at work (it's the best)
Think about the stuff its made from, wonder if it's mystery of meat

If you need a spoon, keep one around
Carry a thermose to help wash it down
Now, if there's some left, don't just throw it out
Use it for spackle or bathroom grout, now

Spam in my pantry at home (have some more)
Think of expiration, better read the lable (oh boy)
Spam breakfast, dinner, or lunch (it's the best)
Think about how it's been precooked, wonder if I'll just eat it cold

Now, once you start in, you can't put it down
Don't leave it sitting or it'll turn brown
The key is going to open the tin
The tin is there to keep the spam in

Oh, spam (spam)
Ham and pork
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy)
Spam (spam)
It's the best
Really makes a darn good sandwhich any way you slice it

Spam in the place where I live (have some more)
Think about addiction, wonder if I'm a junkie now (let's eat)
Spam in the place where I work (you're obsessed)
Think about the way it's processed, wonder if it's some kind of meat

Spam in the back of my car (ham and pork)
Spam any place that you are (ham and pork)
The tab is there to open the can (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork)
The can is there to hold in the spam (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork)

Everything You Know Is Wrong

I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane
With a rabid wolverine in my underwear
When suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat
Popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes

I guessed, "Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie?"
"Is it Bob or Joe or Walter?"
"Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?"
I probably would have kept on guessing
But about that time we crashed into the truck

And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt
Finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer
Who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn't matter

Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

I was walkin' to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams
When I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension
And soon I was abducted by some aliens from space
Who kinda looked like Jamie Farr

They sucked out my internal organs
And they took some polaroids
And said I was a darn good sport
And as a way of saying thank you
They offered to transport me back to
Any point in history that I would care to go

And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night
So I could pay my phone bill on time
Just then the floating disembodied head of
Colonel Sanders started yelling

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn't matter

Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin
When I got a nasty papercut
And, well, to make a long story short
It got infected and I died

So now I'm up in heaven with St. Peter
By the pearly gates
And it's obvious he doesn't like
The Nehru jacket that I'm wearing
He tells me that they've got a dress code

Well, he lets me into heaven anyway
But I get the room next to the noisy ice machine
For all eternity
And every day he runs by screaming

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you used to think was so important
Doesn't really matter anymore
Because the simple fact remains that

Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong
Everything you know is wrong

'The Current'
The Complex
Blue Man Group (see a pattern?)

This song has a special message to those who are reading this now. It's about someone who is a slave to technology.

Going down
Going down
Down where my breath is the only sound.
Goind down
Goind down
Don't look for me now I'm not around
All day long I'm undergound.

I've been thinking about the future.
I've been waiting for the day,
let the current carry me far away,
let the current carry me away.

Current flows, but I don't know where it goes
I don't care, I just get it there
Took this job, 'cause I needed one
now it's seven years since I've seen the sun
All day long I'm undergound.

I've been thinking about the future
I hope someday I'll get away.
But the current keeps brining me back around
Seems the only place for me is underground.
So tomorrow when the sun comes up
I'll be going down
Going down

Goind down.....

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance... for a break that would make it okay... there's always one reason, to feel not good enough... and it's hard at the end of the day, I need some distraction... oh beautiful release, memory seeps from my veins... let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight...

Sarah McLachlan - Angel

:D

we laugh indoors - death cab for cutie

when we laugh indoors
the blissful tones bounce off the walls
and fall to the ground
peel the hardwood back
to let them loose from decades trapped
and listen so still
this city is my home,
construction noise all day long
and gutter punks are bumming change
so i breed thicker skin
and let my lustrous coat fill in
and i'll never admit that
i loved you gwenivere

i've always fallen fast
with too much trust in the promise that
"no one's ever been here, so you can quell those wet fears."
i want purity, i must have it here right now

but don't you get me started now
oh, don't you get me started now
don't you get me-
don't you get me?

december's chill comes late,
the days get darker and we wait
for this direness to pass
there are piles on the floor
of artifacts from dresser drawers,
and i'll help you pack

Here is Omobolasire by Prozzak:

The politics of nations got me down,
Geography and policy have run me outa town,
Seems like worldly things have come between us now,
But I've got the will, and if there's a way,
I'll get to you somehow,

Omobolasire, I really wanta see ya,
Omobolasire, Hang on becasue I'm on my way,

She is my lover,
From the heart of Africa,
Like no other,
Princess of Nigeria,
I was delirious,
Ya, that sun was beeting down,
Lady mysterious,
Like an oasis that I found,
And then she smiled,
And then she came,
And when she spoke,
She told me her name,

Omobolasire, I really wanta see ya,
Omobolasire, Hang on becasue I'm on my way,

Short cut through Lagos,
Through the market place together,
Was getting serous,
I could have stayed that way forever,

As fate dictated,
I had to go back home to London,
My heart vibrated,
Because I knew I had to get to you,

Omobolasire, I really wanta see ya,
Omobolasire, Hang on becasue I'm on my way,

Then came that sad day,
A flight from Heathrow back to Lagos,
Desperate to see ya,
But they would not let me through,
What can I do?,
'cept write to you,
And everday my letters will say,

Omobolasire, I really wanta see ya,
Omobolasire, Hang on becasue I'm on my way,

Omobolasire, I really wanta see ya,
Omobolasire, Hang on becasue I'm on my way,

Omobolasire, I really wanta see ya,
Omobolasire, Hang on becasue I'm on my way,

Omobolasire, I really wanta see ya,
Omobolasire, Hang on becasue I'm on my way.

This song is a bit sinister, but I think it's one of the best Alison Moyet has ever done:


Mary Don't Keep Me Waiting

Mary Mary don't keep me waiting
There's not light enough to see and you know
If I'm not there when he gets back home
He's going to come out looking for me

Don't take what you can't carry
Don't keep what you don't need
Full speed please Mary won't you hurry back
The sky is black and it's menacing me

Mary did you change your motor car
You're just too far away to see

Mary Mary don't keep me waiting
There's not air enough to breathe and you know
If I'm not there when he gets back home
He's going to come out looking for me

Tell no-one where you're going
Speak not one word of me
Mary please believe me, I,
I tell no lie I have an eye for some troublesome things

Mary did you come alone now
I'm just too far away to see

Big tree won't you be my cradle
Rock me but don't let me sleep
Keep me secret if you're able to
'Til Mary comes I'm counting on you

Mary are they headlights blinking there
I'm just too far away to see

"Music heard so deeply that it is not heard at all, but you are the music while the music lasts." -Thomas Eliot

Well... this one seems pretty appropriate for me. If you knew the story, you'd appreciate this... but it's a great song, regardless. You can get an MP3 (legal, too) from www.jasonmraz.com/audio.html

Jason Mraz- You and I Both

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me

Oh things are gonna happen naturally

And taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side

And balancing the whole thing

But often times those words get tangled up in lines

And the bright lights turn to night

Until the dawn it brings

A little bird who'll sing about the magic that was you and me



Cause you and I both loved

What you and I spoke of

What you and I spoke of

Others only dream of the love that I love



See I'm all about them words

Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words

Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards

More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Now you and I, you and I

Not so little you and I anymore

And with this silence brings a moral story

more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy



you and I both loved what you and I spoke of

and others just read of and if you could see now

well I'm already finally out of



and it's okay if you have go away

just remember the telephone works both ways

and if I never ever hear it ring

if nothing else I'll think the bells inside

have finally found you someone else and that's okay

cause I'll remember everything you sang



you and I both loved what you and I spoke of

and others just read of and if you could see now

well I'm already finally out of words.

Up to the Roof- BMG & Tracy Bonham Signing

Oh I see
It's not for me
What I want
You haven't got

Try to use things you sold me
no matter what the cost
Try to go the way you told me
but each time I got lost.

The stairs didn't lead me anywhere

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof
Don't care if it's not the way
you'll find the truth

Time to this climb to rise above

This room
and all of you
who say
I should
Do like
You would

Try to live the life you sold me
no matter what the cost
Try to walk the way you told me
but each time I got lost

The stairs didn't lead me anywhere

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof
Don't care if it's not the way
You'll find the truth
And when I get up there
I don't know what I'll find
But I'd rather look at the sky
than wonder why I'd let you took my time

Time to make this climb to rise above

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof
Don't care if it's not the way
You'll find the truth
And when I get up there
I don't know what I'll find
But I'd rather look at the sky
Than wonder why I'd let you take my time

Time to make this climb to rise above

Poe - Hey Pretty

Well it's 3 am, I'm out here driving again
Through the wicked winding streets of my world
I take a wrong turn - brake it - but I'm too far gone
I've got a siren on my tail, and that ain't the fine I'm looking for

I see a stairway so I follow it down into the belly of a whale
Where my secrets echo all around
You know me now, but to do better than that, you've got to follow me
Boy, I'm trying to show you where I'm at

Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me through my world?
Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide with me through my world?

Well I've got a mind full of wicked desings
I've got a non-stop hole-in-my-head imagination
I can't forget I am a sole architect
I built the shadows here, I built the growl in the voice I fear
You know me now but to do better than that, you've got to follow me
Boy, I'm tryin' to show you where I'm at

Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me through my world?
Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide with me through my world?
Hey pretty, my pretty baby, rock it through my world...


Hey now, can't you feel me longing? [Do you get the gist of the song now?]
Hey now, can't you feel me? [feel me now...]

Skillet: Invincible

I, I'm invincible
I'm indestructible
It's my destiny

I, I'm invincible
I'm unshakeable
Through the truth in my soul

You know you just can't kill a man when he's dead
You know the spirit survives (invincible)
You can't stop the advance of the Kingdom to come
You know the truth is alive (invincible)

To be invincible
Is unattainable
Without sacrifice

Feel, feel the birth inside
The life that cannot die
Are you invincible

You know you just can't kill a man when he's dead
You know the spirit survives (invincible)
You can't stop the advance of the Kingdom to come
You know the truth is alive (invincible)

Invincible-Invincible

You know you can't kill a man when he¹s dead
You know you can't

You know you just can't kill a man when he's dead
You know the spirit survives (invincible)
You can't stop the advance of the Kingdom to come
You know the truth is alive (invincible)

You know you can't kill a man when he's dead
