The Ghost Of Tom Joad
(Springsteen)
Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
But where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
Blinded By The Light
(Springsteen)
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band
And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance
Yeah he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break,
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride,
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card,
he said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well I jumped up, turnedaround, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then boy, you're on your own
And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night,
Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw
a gap but figured he'd be all right
He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh but mama that's where the fun is
You're So Good To Me
(B. Wilson)
You're kinda small
And you're such a doll
I'm glad you're mine
You're so good to me
How come you are
You take my hand
And you understand
When I get in a bad mood
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it
You're my baby
Oh yeah
Don't mean maybe
Oh yeah
I know your eyes
Are not on the guys
When we're apart
You're so true to me
How come you are
And every night
You hold me so tight
When I kiss you goodbye
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it
You're my baby
Oh yeah
Don't mean maybe
Oh yeah
You're my baby
Oh yeah
Don't mean maybe
Oh yeah
You're my baby
Oh yeah
Don't mean maybe
Oh yeah
You're my baby
Sail On, Sailor
(B. Wilson/Almer/Rieley/Kennedy)
I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on, sailor
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Steve M. 07-10-2004, 09:34 PM Make Me Smile - Chicago
(Pankow)
Children play in the park,
They don't know.
I'm alone in the dark,
Even though,
Time and time again I see your face
Smiling inside.
I'm so happy
That you love me.
Life is lovely
When you're near me.
Tell me you will stay,
Make me smile.
Living life is just a game,
So they say.
All the games we used to play
Fade away.
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared
So long ago.
Oh, my darling,
Got to have you.
Feel the magic,
When I hold you.
Cry sweet tears of joy,
Touch the sky.
Now I need you,
More than ever.
No more crying,
We're together.
Tell me you will stay,
Make me smile.
Steve M. 07-11-2004, 10:01 PM Good Friend of Mine - Family
(Whitney / Chapman)
Well, I heard from the world you have travelled,
News came down on the grapevine.
So I hope you don't mean to be simple, no,
'Cause you were a good friend of mine.
We were just friends back in school days,
We shared cigarettes, girls and wine.
You got lucky, came into some money,
You were a good friend of mine.
Well, I left school and I earned money,
Things went by more worse than fine.
But you could afford to be educated,
You were a good friend of mine.
Said, I worked like a slave 'til my Dad died,
My mother and me, we went cryin.'
We still prayed out to the chaplain, Lord,
You were a good friend of mine.
Me, I married my wife in a kitchen,
All of our food came off the bread line.
I guess you were what they'd call a gay bachelor, yeah,
Anyway, you're a good friend of mine.
Yeah, you hear me, we will get together,
We're gonna go to your place or mine.
We need to live and be happy, Lord,
And of course you're a good friend of mine.
You're still a good, good friend of mine. . . .
Steve M. 07-13-2004, 08:50 PM Will It Go 'Round In Circles - Billy Preston
I got a song, I ain't got no melody,
I'm a-gonna sing it to my friends.
I got a song, I ain't got no melody,
I'm a-gonna sing it to my friends.
(CHORUS)
Will it go 'round in circles?
Will he fly high like a bird up in the sky?
Will it go 'round in circles?
Will he fly high like a bird up in the sky?
I got a story, ain't got no moral,
Let the bad guy win every once in a while.
I got a story, ain't got no moral,
Let the bad guy win every once in a while.
(CHORUS)
I got a dance, I ain't got no steps, no,
I'm gonna let the music move me around.
I got a dance, I ain't got no steps,
I'm gonna let the music move me around.
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)
(CHORUS)
Steve M. 07-15-2004, 10:47 PM Razor Boy - Steely Dan
(Becker / Faigen)
I hear you are singing the song of the past,
I see no tears.
I know that you know it may be the last
For many years.
You'd gamble or give anything to be in with
The better half.
But how many friends must I have to begin with
To make you laugh?
(CHORUS)
Will you still have a song to sing
When the razor boy comes and takes your fancy things away?
Will you still be singing it on that cold and windy day?
You know that the coming is so close at hand,
You feel alright.
I guess only women in cages could stand
This kind of night.
I guess only women in cages could play down
The things they lose.
You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down,
You can't refuse.
(CHORUS)
(REPEAT FOURTH VERSE)
(CHORUS)
Sweet Virginia
(Jagger/Richards)
Wadin' through the waste stormy winter,
And there's not a friend to help you through.
Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs,
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues.
Thank you for your wine, California,
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits.
Yes I got the desert in my toenail
And I hid the speed inside my shoe.
But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia,
Come on, honey child, I beg you.
Come on, come on down, you got it in ya.
Got to scrape the **** right off your shoes.
I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia,
I want you come on, honey child, I beg you. .
I want you come on, honey child you got it in you.
Got to scrape that **** right off your shoes.
But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia,
Come on, come on down, I beg of you.
Come on, come on down, you got it in you.
Got to scrape that **** right off your shoes.
Steve M. 07-17-2004, 09:49 PM Come Down In Time - Elton John
(Elton John [music] / Bernie Taupin [lyrics])
In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left
While a cluster of nightjars sang some songs out of tune,
A mantle of bright light shone down from the room.
"Come down in time, I still hear her say,
So clear in my ear, like it was today.
"Come down in time," ws the message she gave.
"Come down in time and I'll meet you half way."
Well, I don't know if I should have heard her as yet,
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get.
And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call,
And I'm geting to thinking if she's coming at all.
"Come down in time," I stil hear her say,
So clear in my ear, like it was today.
"Come down in time," was the message she gave.
"Come down in time, and I'll meet you half way."
There are women and women, and some hold you tight,
While some leave you counting the stars in the night.
Steve M. 07-20-2004, 09:31 PM . . .and so David Bowie released a song for the occasion. . . .
Space Oddity - David Bowie
Ground Control to Major Tom,
Ground Control to Major Tom.
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
(Ten. . .nine. . .eight. . .)
Ground Control to Major Tom.
(Seven. . .six. . .)
Commencing countdown, engines on,
(Five. . .four. . . three. . .)
Check ignition, and may God's love be with you.
(Two. . .one. . .LIFTOFF. . . .)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom,
You've really made the grade,
And the papers wany to know whose shirts you wear.
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
This is Major Tom to Ground Control,
I'm stepping through the door,
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way,
And the stars look very different today.
For here am I sitting in a tin can,
Far above the world.
Planet earth is blue,
And there's nothing I can do.
Though I've crossed one hundred thousand miles,
I'm feeling pretty still,
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go.
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows.
Ground Control to Major Tom,
Your circuit's dead - there's something wrong!
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you - here am I floating 'round my tin can,
Far above the world.
Planet earth is blue,
And there's nothing I can do.
Too Much Sugar
(B. Wilson)
Too much sugar and too much cake
You end up with a bellyache
Take that greasy steak and fries
Slap that fat right on your thighs
Don't be stupid now use your brain
Start to stretch and muscle gain
Eat your veggies and whole grains too
Fruits and fiber will nourish you
Take those legs and make them fly
When you're thin it's much more fun
Getting in shape is what it's all about
Don't you just feel it's true
Moving all around just like Jane Fonda now
Then there will be a brand-new you.
Stuff you eat
Can poison you
Make you feel
Real lazy too
Drugs you take
Make you insane
All they do is burn your brain
One, two, three, four
Kick 'em high
Join a gym
Or visit the "Y"
Five, six, seven, eight
Feelin' fine
You can live 'til 99
Getting in shape is what it's all about
Don't you just feel it's true
Moving all around just like Jane Fonda now
Then there will be a brand-new you.
Hey! My momma's been cookin, good
Long time eatin' the way I should
Alright!
Getting in shape is what it's all about
Don't you just feel it's true
Moving all around just like Jane Fonda now
Then there will be a brand-new you.
Too much sugar now too much cake
You'll end up with a bellyache
Take that greasy steak and fries
Slap that fat right on your thighs

Rocket Man (I Think It's Gonna Be a Long, Long Time) - Elton John
(Elton John [music] / Bernie Taupin [lyrics])
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight,
Zero hour, nine A.M.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then.
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife.
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight.
(CHORUS)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no,
I'm a rocket man.
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids,
In fact, it's cold as hell.
And there's no one to raise them if you did.
And all this science I don't understand,
It's just my job, five days a week.
A rocket man, a rocket man.
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
And I think it's gonna a long, long time. . . .
(REPEAT UNTIL FADE)

Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
( Lyrics : Bernie Taupin.Music: Elton John)
It's getting late have you seen my mates, Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
P...P...P...P...Packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a woman to see me right
I could use a little muscle to get what I need
I'll drink a fifth of jack and scream out "She's with me!"
A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
And I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats from the bottom of a glass
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday night's alright
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday night's alright
Madman Across The Water
(John/Taupin)
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
The ground's a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it
vashti1999 07-23-2004, 03:34 PM Your name is big brother
You say that you're watching me on the telly
Seeing me go nowhere
Your name is big brother
You say that you're tired of me protesting
Children dying everyday
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door
Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook
Writing it down everyday
Your name is I'll see ya
I'll change if you vote me in as the prez
The President of your soul
I live in the ghetto
You just come to visit me 'round election time
I live in the ghetto
Someday I will move on my feet to the other side
My name is secluded
we live in a house the size of a matchbox
Roaches live with us wall to wall
You've killed all our leaders
I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll cause your own country to fall
Steve M. 07-23-2004, 08:39 PM Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill Me a son."
Abe said, "Man, You must be putting me on."
God said, "No;" Abe say "What?"
God said, "You can do what you want, Abe,
But the next time you see Me coming, you better run."
Then Abe said, "Where do You want this killing done?"
God said, "Out on Highway 61."
Well, Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose,
Welfare Department, they wouldn't give him no clothes.
He asked Poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
Howard said, "There's only one place I know."
Sam said, "Tell me quick, man, I got to run."
Oh, Howard just pointed with his gun
And said, "That way, down Highway 61."
Well, Mac the Finger said to Louie the King,
"I got forty red, white and blue shoestrings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring.
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?"
And Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute, son."
Then he said, "Yes I think it can be easily done,
Just take everything out to Highway 61."
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't roght.
"My complexion," she said, "is much too white."
He said, "Come here and step into the light."
He said, "Hmmm, you're right!
Let me tell the second mother this has been done."
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61.
Now the roving gambler, he was very bored,
Trying to create a next world war.
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor.
He said, "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before,
But yes, I think it can be very easily done.
We'll just put some bleachers in the sun
And have it on Highway 61."
Steve M. 07-26-2004, 10:44 PM This Guy's In Love With You - Herb Alpert
(Bacharach / David)
You say this guy,
This guy's in love with you.
Yes, I'm in love,
Who looks at you the way I do.
When you smile, I can tell
We know each other very well.
How can I show you,
I'm glad I got to know you?
'Cause I've heard some talk,
They say you think I'm fine.
Yes, I'm in love,
And what I'd do to make you mine.
Tell me now, is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking,
Don't let my heart keep breaking, 'cause
I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love, in love with this guy.
If not, I'll just die.
(REPEAT LAST TWO VERSES)
Steve M. 08-02-2004, 08:38 PM I Wanna Be Your Lover - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
Well, the rain man comes with his magic wand,
But the judge says Mona can't have no bond.
The walls collide, and Mona cries,
And the rain man leaves in the wolfman's disguise.
(CHORUS)
Ohhhhhhh. . .OH!
I wanna be your lover, baby,
I wanna be your man.
I wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be hers,
I wanna be yours.
Now the undertaker in his midnight suit,
Says to the madman, "Ain't you cute!"
The madman, he jumps up on a shelf,
And he says, "You don't look so bad yourself."
(CHORUS)
Well, Jumping Judy can't go no higher,
She's got bullets in her eyes ,and they fire.
Rasputin, he's so dignified,
Until he touched the back of her head, and then he died.
(CHORUS)
Well, Phaedra with her looking glass,
When she lays upon the grass,
She gets so messed up, she faints.
That's 'cause she's so obvious and you ain't.
(CHORUS)
I wanna be yours.
The Modfather 08-04-2004, 10:41 AM Gates of Eden: Bob Dylan
Of war and peace the truth just twists
Its curfew gull just glides
Upon four-legged forest clouds
The cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun
Though its glow is waxed in black
All except when 'neath the trees of Eden
The lamppost stands with folded arms
Its iron claws attached
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
Though it shadows metal badge
All and all can only fall
With a crashing but meaningless blow
No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden
The savage soldier sticks his head in sand
And then complains
Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf
But still remains
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
At ships with tattooed sails
Heading for the Gates of Eden
With a time-rusted compass blade
Aladdin and his lamp
Sits with Utopian hermit monks
Side saddle on the Golden Calf
And on their promises of paradise
You will not hear a laugh
All except inside the Gates of Eden
Relationships of ownership
They whisper in the wings
To those condemned to act accordingly
And wait for succeeding kings
And I try to harmonize with songs
The lonesome sparrow sings
There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden
The motorcycle black madonna
Two-wheeled gypsy queen
And her silver-studded phantom cause
The gray flannel dwarf to scream
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
The kingdoms of Experience
In the precious wind they rot
While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got
And the princess and the prince
Discuss what's real and what is not
It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden
The foreign sun, it squints upon
A bed that is never mine
As friends and other strangers
From their fates try to resign
Leaving men wholly, totally free
To do anything they wish to do but die
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden
At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
At times I think there are no words
But these to tell what's true
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
Steve M. 08-07-2004, 10:53 PM Jumpin' Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones
(Jagger / Richards)
Watch it!
:guitar: :guitar:
I was born in a crossfire hurricane,
And I howled at the pourin' drivin' rain.
But it's alright, now - in fact, it's a gas!
But it's alright, a jumpin' jack flash is a gas, gas, gas.
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap across my back.
But it's alright, now - in fact, it's a gas!
But it's alright, a jumpin' jack flash is a gas, gas, gas.
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I slowly bled.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I would frown at the crumb of a crust of bread,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was crowned with a spike right through my head.
But it's alright, now - in fact, it's a gas!
But it's alright, a jumpin' jack flash is a gas, gas, gas.
Jumpin' jack flash, it's a gas,
Jumpin' jack flash, it's a gas. . . .
The Man Comes Around
(J.R. Cash)
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder. One of the four beasts saying "Come and see."
And I saw. And behold, a white horse.
There's a man goin' round takin' names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Everybody won't be treated all the same
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around
The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will you partake of that last-offered cup?
Or disappear into the potter's ground?
When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's Alpha and Omega's Kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise men will bow down before the throne
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns
When the man comes around
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still
Listen to the worlds long written down
When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's Alpha and Omega's Kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundredweight and penny pound
When the man comes around
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts. And I looked and behold - a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him.
Rhiannon 08-12-2004, 07:38 PM Take Me Away
I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside; all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew
What would you do
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable; come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
Cause no one understands
Johnny Carson
(B. Wilson)
He sits behind his microphone (Johnny Carson)
He speaks in such a manly tone (Johnny Carson)
Ed McMahon comes on and says "Here's Johnny!"
Every night at 11:30, he's so funny
It's nice to have you on the show tonight
I've seen your act in Vegas, out of sight!
When guests are boring, he fills up the slack (Johnny Carson)
The network makes him break his back (Johnny Carson)
Ed McMahon comes on and says "Here's Johnny!"
Every night at 11:30, he's so funny
Don't you think he's such a natural guy
The way he kept it up could make you cry
Who's the man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's the man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's the man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's the man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
No Man's Land
(Joel)
I've seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines
Blue suits and bankers with their Volvos and their valentines
Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise
Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice
Now we're gonna get the big business
Now we're gonna get the real thing
Everybody's all excited about it
Who remembers when it all began - out here in No Man's Land
Before they passed the master plan - out here in No Man's Land
Low supply and high demand - here in No Man's Land
There ain't much work out here in our consumer power base
No major industry, just miles and miles of parking space
This morning's paper says our neighbor's in a cocaine bust
Lots more to read about Lolita and suburban lust
Now we're gonna get the whole story
Now we're gonna be in prime time
Everybody's all excited about it
Who remembers when it all began - out here in No Man's Land
We've just begun to understand - out here in No Man's Land
Low supply and high demand - here in No Man's Land
I see these children with their boredom and their vacant stares
God help us all if we're to blame for their unanswered prayers
They roll the sidewalks up at night this place goes underground
Thanks to the Condo Kings there's cable now in Zombietown
Now we're gonna get the closed circuit
Now we're gonna get the Top 40
Now we're gonna get the sports franchise
Now we're gonna get the major attractions
Who remembers when it all began - out here in No Man's Land
Before the whole world was in our hands - out here in No Man's Land
Before the banners and the marching bands - out here in No Man's Land
Low supply and high demand - here in No Man's Land
Disney Girls (1957)
(Johnston)
Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style
Just in time words that rhyme
Well bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll
Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
Patti Page and summer days
On old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine
In my garage
Country shade and lemonade
Guess I'm slowing down
It's a turned-back world
With a local girl
In a smaller town
Open cars and clearer stars
That's what I've lacked
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
(Love) Hi Rick and Dave
Hi Pop, good morning mom
(Love) get up guess what
I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell
'Cause she likes church, bingo chances
And old time dances
All my life I spent the night
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed
And for the things I wished
They're all coming true
I've got my love to give
And a place to live
Guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life
With a forever wife
And a kid someday
It's earlier nights
And pillow fights
And your soft laugh
Fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
MaryElizabeth 08-15-2004, 06:08 PM This song made me cry at the Back In The US concert.
Here Today
(McCartney)
And if I say,
I really knew you well what would your answer be?
If you were here today
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh, here to-day.
Well knowing you,
you'd probably laugh and say that we were world's apart.
If your were here today
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh, here to-day.
But as for me,
I still remember how it was before,
and I am holding back these tears no more
Ooh- Ooh Ooh, I love you, Ooh.
What about the time we met?
Well, I suppose that you could say that we were playing hard to get.
Didn't understand a thing,
but we could always sing.
What about the night we cried,
beacuse there was no reasons left to keep it all inside?
Didn't understood a word,
but you were alwas there - with a smile.
And if I say,
I really loved you and was glad you came along.
If you were here today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh, for you were in my song.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh, here to-day.
MaryElizabeth 08-15-2004, 06:14 PM Skyline Pigeon
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin/Music by Elton John
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey
For just a skyline pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day
I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun
Highway Patrolman
(Springsteen)
My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8
I always done an honest job as honest as I could
I got a brother named Franky and Franky ain't no good
Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down
I get a call over the radio Franky's in trouble downtown
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way
Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good
Well Franky went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed
Franky came home in '68, and me, I took this job
Yea we're laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine
Well the night was like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head there was a girl cryin' at a table and it was Frank, they said
Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
Well I must of done one hundred and ten through Michigan county that night
It was out at the crossroads, down round Willow bank
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank
Well I chased him through them county roads till a sign said Canadian border five miles from here
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear
Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good
The Ghost Of Tom Joad
(Springsteen)
Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
But where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad

**** U ALL
Running out of ways to run
I can't see, I can't be
Over and over and under my skin
All this attention is doing me in!
**** it all! **** this world!
**** everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a ****!
Don't ever judge me!
Picking through the parts exposed
Taking shape, taking shag
Over and over and under my skin
All this momentum is doing me in!
**** it all! **** this world!
**** everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a ****!
Don't ever judge me!
AND DONT YOU ****IN JUDGE ME!

You got all my love, livin' in your own hate
Drippin' hole man, hard step, no fate
Show you nuthin', but I ain't holdin' back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ain't a ****ing thing you can do
Get this cuz you're never gonna get me
I am the very disease you pretend to be
I am the push that makes you move (x4)
**** it all! **** this world! (x2)
**** everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a ****!
Don't ever judge me!

"Stigmata Martyr"
In a crucifiction ecstasy
Lying cross chequed in agony
Stigmata bleed continuously
Holes in head, hands, feet, and weep for me
Stigmata oh you sordid sight
Stigmata in your splintered plight
Look into your crimson orifice
In holy remembrance
In scarlet bliss
Stigmata Martyr

(Elton John [music] / Bernie Taupin [lyrics])
Who'll walk me down to church when I'm sixty years of age,
When the ragged dog they gave me has been ten years in the grave?
And senorita, play guitar, play it just for you,
My rosary has broken, and my beads have all slipped through.
You've hung up your great and you've laid down your gun,
You know the war you've fought in wasn't to much fun.
And the future you're givign me holds nothing for a gun,
I've no wish to be living sixty years on.
Yes, I'll sit with you and talk, and let your eyes relive again,
I know my vintage prayers would be very much the same.
And Magdelena plays the organ, plays it just for you,
Your choral lamp that burns so low when you are passing through. . .
And the future you're giving me holds nothing for a gun,
I've no wish to be living sixty years on.

"Hip Hop Kids"
I hate hip hop kids, I hate their ****ing noise
I hate the hip hop girls and i hate the hip hop boys
They want to stare you down when you're walking down the street
They want to have a laugh because your style doesn't meet
Hip hop music, what a laugh, god i hope that **** won't last
Baggy clothes, ****ed up limp, they think its cool to act like a pimp
I hate hip hop girls
I hate hip hop boys
I hate hip hop kids
I hate hip hop noise
Way of life, there is no pride
Who ****in cares if tupac died
I don't care, white or black, this song is not a racial attack
But i will still have my say, hip hop kids: go away!
Work a day of life, most of them have never heard of that
Government check, parents sitting home, getting fat
Don't give a **** what you've got to say
Always with an attitude, when they pass they feel you should pay

"One"
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops in me
Now that the war is through with meI'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me
Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

"Bleeding Me"
I'm digging my way
I'm digging my way to something
I'm digging my way to something better
I'm pushing to stay
I'm pushing to stay with something
I'm pushing to stay with something better
I'm sowing the seeds
I'm sowing the seeds I've taken
I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted
This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed
Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Of me
The bleeding of me
I am the beast that bleeds the feast
I am the blood
I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I'm caught, I'm caught, I'm caught under

"Rejected and Unwanted"
We are people with minds of our own
So don't be afraid to show your thoughts
To be an individual is rough in this world
The best men in this world weren't clones
They kick us in the head, they kick us in the balls
They make loud jokes they make you feel small
They're ignorant and afraid of our cause
Well i learned from past history
Those who try to change suffer a lot
So i won't conform to rules or laws
The best men in this world weren't clones
Now my mind is very clear
You bastards live off our fears
Your wise ass comments make me snear
The best men in this world weren't clones

Fifty thousand fans screamin' in a rage
Bodyguards and limousines
This is the way I see you in my dreams
Paparazzi flash, hundred pictures all of you
Hangin' on my bedroom wall

But I knew since we fell in love
Girl I'd be
[Chorus]
I'll be your groupie baby
Cuz you are my superstar
I'm your number one fan, give me your autograph
Sign it right here on my heart
Girl I'll be your groupie baby
Cuz you are my superstar
And as your number one fan
I'll do all that I can
To show you how super you are
Front row, there I am
Jumpin' and hollerin' waving both hands
Would you notice me, Little me
Drove twelve hours girl just to see
Your pretty face one more time
Bought my ticket I was first in line
This is a metaphor to show how I adore (I adore you)
Baby I do

I'll be your groupie baby

You're truly special
Your love is legendary to me
Without you my life stands still
I'll never leave your world
Treat you like a diva girl
Girl you're one of a kind
Cuz they don't make 'em like you anymore
So you'll be your fan for life
I dedicate this to my superstar for all time

I'll be your groupie baby
Cuz you are my superstar
I'm your number one fan, give me your autograph

Yeah, uhh
They say money can't buy you love
They say money can't buy you love
They never seem to listen
I'm all ears
Just copped your girl a brand new Rolex
But you can never find the time to spend at home
Thinkin' it's gon' keep her happy
When time is all she wanted all along
[Chorus]
It's the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what's right in front of your face
But you can't see it
So you think that you know what's important
Steady chasin' your fame and your fortune
But you don't know
You're chasing a dime losin' a treasure
Those dollars don't make sense to me at all
Ooh, it goes
Duh da duh da
You give her spending money
Duh da duh da
But all she wanna spend is time alone (tonight)
Keep givin' her
The finer things but
But she don't really need that
If you don't stop you're
You're gonna end up alone (alone)
The world without love (duh duh da duh da)
Why would you do it
[Chorus x2]
It's the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what's right in front of your face
But you can't see it
It's the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what's right in front of your face
But you can't see it (listen)
Stop tryna buy her love
'cuz you won't ever have enough
There's always someone with more than you
You need to pay her attention
Give her what she needs
Do the simple things
Before you lose your girl to me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah
Yeeeah yeah
Play on playa
Yeah
Your girl comin' wit' me shorty, haha
I'm tellin' you man
'cuz u know
[Chorus]
It's the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what's right in front of your face
But you can't see it
You better look out
I hear you talkin', i hear you talkin' (ha)
But what are you saying
Oh hoo oh hooo
Don't be a fool
You got a good thing
Man are you blind
Stupid or crazy?
You got a good thing (uh)
You got a good thing
Special lady
You better hold on
And give her what she want
Before she move on
Man I tell you cars, clothes, and fancy things don't mean a damn thing
If you ain't kickin it baby
[Chorus]
It's the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for whats right in front of your face
But you can't see it
[Fade]
Don't let this be the thing you'll always regret, no
It's right there, it's right there

You could buy me diamonds, you could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles, run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby you know I'm worth it
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just told but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth, mhmn
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
If you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me, promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when **** gets rough
Baby I know you're worth it
She rolls the mile makes you smile all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passion that she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth, oh
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
No need to read between the lines, spell it out for you
Just hear this song cuz you can't go wrong when you value
A woman, woman, woman, a woman's worth
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

Well, I 'm a-gonna raise a fuss, you know I'm gonna raise a holler,
About working all summer just to try to earn a dollar.
Well, I went to the boss man and asked for a break - boss said,
"No dice son, you gotta work late."
Sometimes I wonder what i'm a-gonna do,
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.
Ah well, my mom and papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money,
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday."
Well, I wouldn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick.
"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick!"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do,
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.
I'm gonna take two weeks, I'm gonna have a fine vacation.
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations.
Well, I called my Congressman and, he said, quote -
"I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote."
Sometime I wonder what I'm a-gonna do,
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

Susanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child
Make me blush, drive me wild
Susanne, you're all that I wanted
When I met you I was all alone
Cold and lonely cryin' on the phone
You baked me brownies and said "don't you cry"
And gave me the coat off your back
Susanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child
Make me blush, drive me wild
Susanne, you're all that I wanted
Even Izzy, Slash and Axl Rose
When I call you put them all on hold
And say to me that you'd do anything
and all I can do is say that
I haven't much I can give you in return
Only my heart and a promise not to turn
But I'll sing to you every day and every night
Susanne, I'm your man
Susanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child
Make me blush, drive me wild
Susanne, you're all that I wanted
Of a girl

Hey, hang your red gloves up,
Cos there's nothing left to prove now.
Hey, hang your red gloves up,
Baby, no-one cares for you.
What planet are you from?
Accuse me of things that I never done.
Listen to you carrying on,
Cheating another love song.
If I were in your shoes,
I'd whisper before I shout.
Can't you stop playing that record again,
For somebody else to talk about?
If I were in your shoes,
I'd worry of the effects.
You've had your say,
But now it's my turn.
Sweet dreams, my L.A Ex.
We've had it on full steam,
Till the life comes back to you now.
Hey, is it all it seems,
Is it all you dreamed and more?
What planet are you from?
Accuse me of things that I never done.
Listen to you carrying on,
Cheating another love song.
If I were in your shoes,
I'd whisper before I shout.
Can't you stop playing that record again,
For somebody else to talk about?
If I were in your shoes,
I'd worry of the effects.
You've had your say,
But now it's my turn.
Sweet dreams, my L.A Ex.
Does it make you feel a man,
Pointing the finger because you can?
I spelled it loud and clear,
Baby, that tongue's not welcome around here.
You turned the city round. (L.A Ex)
You think I give a damn? (L.A Ex)
Do you think that I'm the fairer (S.E.X?)
Sweet dreams, my (L.A Ex.)
[Short Instrumental]
Ooooooh!
If I were in your shoes, (Oooooh!)
I'd whisper before I shout.
Can't you stop playing that record again,
For somebody else to talk about?
If I were in your shoes,
I'd worry of the effects.
You've had your say,
But now it's my turn.
Sweet dreams, my L.A ex

We've Only Just Begun - The Carpenters
We've only just begun
To live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun
We fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes
We smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes
We smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun
Steve M. 09-06-2004, 08:48 PM Observations From a Hill - Family
(Whitney / Chapman)
Chimney tops, rooftops, higher than tree tops,
I stood there on a hill.
Sky blue, slate blue, cold as the wind blew
Leaves that never stay still.
Buildings jaggered and clustered,
I remain unflustered. . . .
People are strolling, cars only rolling
Doen man-made paths of grey stone.
Children are larking, dogs sometimes barking,
Break sleep of old folk alone.
Church organ choir sing hymn life,
Sunday eve, quarter past five. . . .
These are observations from a hill.
Towers and flowers, phone lines and road signs,
All these things come to view.
I look to the valley, and there by a shalley,
Suddenly I see it's you.
You're beckoning me to follow,
Maybe I'll come down tomorrow. . . .
These are observations from a hill.
Steve M. 09-09-2004, 09:43 PM The Seeker - the Who
(Townshend)
I've looked under chairs,
I've looked under tables.
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables.
(CHORUS)
They call me the seeker,
I've been searching low and high.
I won't get to get what I'm after,
'Til the day I die.
I asked Bobby Dylan,
I asked the Beatles.
I asked Timothy Leary,
But he couldn't help me either.
(CHORUS)
People tend to hate me 'cause I never smile,
When I ransack their homes, they want to shake my hand.
Focus in on nowhere, investigating miles,
I'm a seeker, I'm a really desparate man.
I won't get to get what I'm after,
'Til the day I die.
I learned how to raise my voice in anger.
Yeah, but look at my face - ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good, and when it's bad I cry,
I got values, but I don't know how or why.
I'm looking for me,
You're looking for you.
We're looking at each other,
And we don't know what to do.
(CHORUS)
Steve M. 09-17-2004, 10:18 PM The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill - the Beatles
(Lennon / McCartney)
(CHORUS)
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bunglaow Bill?
Hey, Bunglaow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun,
In case of accidents he always took his mom.
He's the all-American bullet-headed Saxon mother's son.
All the children sing. . . .
(CHORUS)
Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies,
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise.
So Captain Marvel zapped'em right between the eyes,
Ah! All the children sing. . . .
(CHORUS)
The children asked him if to kill was not a sin.
Not when he looked so fierce, his mommy butted in.
If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him. . . .
All the children sing. . . .
(REPEAT CHORUS FOUR TIMES)
:clap :clap :clap
Eh up! :D
Steve M. 09-19-2004, 10:24 PM While My Guitar Gently Weeps - the Beatles
(Harrison)
I look at you all,
See the love there that's sleeping,
While my guitar gentyl weeps.
I look at the floor,
And I see it needs sweeping,
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love.
I don't know how someone controlled you,
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world,
And I notice it's turning,
While my guitar gently weeps.
With every mistake,
We must surely be learning,
Still my guitar gently weeps.
:guitar:
I don't know how you were diverted,
You were perverted too.
I don't know how you were inverted,
No one alerted you.
I look at you all,
See the love there that's sleeping,
While my guitar gently weeps.
I still look at you all. . .
Still my guitar gently weeps.
:guitar:
ALTERNATE THIRD VERSE:
I look from the wings
Of the play you are staging,
While my guitar gently weeps.
As I'm sitting here
Doing nothing but aging,
Still my guitar gently weeps.
Steve M. 09-20-2004, 10:21 PM New York's Not My Home - Jim Croce
(Croce)
Things were spinning 'round me,
And all my thoughts were cloudy,
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me.
Been in so many places,
You know I've run so many races,
I've looked into the empty faces of the people of the night.
And something is just not right.
'Cause I know that I gotta get out of here,
I'm so alone.
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
'Cause New York's not my home.
Though all the streets are crowded,
There's something strange about it.
I've lived here for a year and I've never once felt at home.
I thought I'd make the big time.
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick, and now I'm
Telling you that they were not the nice kind,
And it's been so long since I have felt fine.
That's the reason that I gotta get out of here,
I'm so alone.
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
'Cause New York's not my home.
Steve M. 09-21-2004, 10:20 PM Call Any Vegetable - Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
This is a song about vegetables, they keep you regular, they're really good for ya! :D
Call any vegetable!
Call it by name!
(Call any vegetable!)
Call one today!
Call when you get off the train!
(Call any vegetable!)
Call any vegetable. . .and the chances are good. . . :guitar:
Oh, the vegetable will respond to you!
Some people don't go for prunes, I don't know, I've always found that if they. . .
Call any vegetable!
Pick up your phone!
(Call any vegetable!)
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home!
(Call any vegetable!)
Call any vegetable. . .and the chances are good. . . :guitar:
That a. . .vegetable will respond to you, hooooo!
Rut-a-BAY-e-aga, rut-a-BAY-e-aga, rut-a-BAY-e-aga, rut-aBAY-e-aga, ruta-bay. . . .
A prune isn't really a vegetable. . . .
Cabbage is a vegetable!
No one will know if you don't want to to let them know,
No one will know unless it's you that might tell them so.
Call and they'll come to you covered with dew,
Vegetables dream of responding to you.
Standing there shiny and proud by your side,
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide,
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
Ohh, ahh, AHHHHHHHH!
AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve M. 09-27-2004, 11:04 PM Rainy Night In Georgia - Brook Benton
Hovering by my suitcase,
Trying to find a warm place to spend the night.
Heavy rain's falling,
Seems I hear your voice calling, "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia,
A rainy night in Georgia,
Lord, I believe it's raining all over the world.
I feel like it's raining all over the world.
Neon signs a-flashing,
Taxicabs and buses passing through the night.
A distant moaning of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the light.
It's a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia,
Lord, I believe it's raining all over the world.
I feel like it's raining all over the world.
How many times I wonder,
It still comes out the same.
No matter how you look at it or think of it,
It's life and you just got to play the game.
Find me a place in a boxcar,
So I take my guitar to pass some time.
Late at night when it's hard to rest,
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine.
But it's a rainy night in Georgia,
Baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia,
Lord, I believe it's raining all over the world.
I feel like it's raining all over the world.
Kind of lonely,
Like it's raining all over this man's world.
You're talkin' 'bout it raining, raining. . . .
Raining all over the world.
Steve M. 10-02-2004, 10:13 PM Pearl of the Quarter - Steely Dan
(Becker / Faigen)
On the water down in New Orleans,
My baby's the pearl of the Quarter.
She's a charmer like you've never seen,
Singing "Voluez-voulez-voulez vous."
Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay,
Red beans and rice for a quarter.
You can see her almost any day,
Singing "Voulez-voulez-voulez vous."
And if you hear from my Louise,
Won't you tell her I say hello.
Please make it clear,
When her day is done, she got a place to go.
I walked alone down the Miracle Mile,
I met my baby by the shroud of the martyr.
She stole my heart with a Cajun smile,
Singing "Voulez-voulez-voulez vous."
She loved the million dollar words I'd say,
She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her.
She said she loved me and was on her way,
Singing "Voulez-voulez-voulez vous."
And if you hear from my Louise,
Won't you tell her I love her so.
Please make it clear,
When her day is done, she got a place to go.
(REPEAT LAST VERSE)

Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me
Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts

Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care
When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy it's a mission
And you won't stop til I'm there
Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have

Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah
On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

ilovethe80s 10-04-2004, 04:53 PM Sarah McLachlan- Angel
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
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
ilovethe80s 10-04-2004, 04:55 PM Sarah McLachlan- Buliding A Mystery
you come out at night
that's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
you strut your rasta wear
and your suicide poem
and a cross from a faith
that died before Jesus came
you're building a mystery
you live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that won't wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way
oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when I'm in your arms
(chorus)
'cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
you woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears
give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin
oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful ****** up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine
chorus
repeat chorus

ilovethe80s 10-04-2004, 05:01 PM Selena- I Could Fall In Love
I could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still?
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love
Fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy soñada en ti
Besandos mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazadome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amos
Cómo yo podia amar a ti
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love
I could fall in love
With you...
ilovethe80s 10-04-2004, 05:03 PM Selena- Dreaming of You
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too
Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Wonder if you ever see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have a dreams of you
So I wait for the day
And the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do!
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Corazón
I can't stop dreaming of you
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
I can't stop dreaming
Cómo te necesito
I can't stop dreaming of you
Mi amor, cómo te extraño
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said "I love you"
I love you too!
Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly
Dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Endlessly
And I'll be holding you tight
Dreaming...with you...tonight!
ilovethe80s 10-04-2004, 05:05 PM Kelly Clarkson- Breakaway
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
[Chorus]
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
ilovethe80s 10-04-2004, 05:07 PM Elton John- Crocodile Rock
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

Gay Messiah
By: Rufus Wainwright
He will then be reborn
From 1970's porn
Wearing tubesocks with style
And such an innocent smile
Better pray for your sins
Better pray for your sins
'Cuz the gay messiah's coming
He will fall from the stars
Studio 54
And appear on the sand
Of Fire Island's shore
Better pray for your sins
Better pray for your sins
'Cuz the gay messiah's coming
No it will not be me
Rufus the baptist I be
No I won't be the one
Baptized in cum
What will happen instead
Someone will demand my head
And then I will kneel down
And give it to them looking down
Better pray for your sins
Better pray for your sins
'Cuz the gay messiah's coming
Straight Time
(Springsteen)
Got out of prison back in '86 and I found me a wife
Walked the clean and narrow
just tryin' to stay out and stay alive
Got a job at the rendering factory,it ain't gonna make me rich
In the darkness before dinner comes
Sometimes I can feel the it
I got a cold mind to go tripping across that thin line
I'm sick of doin straight time
My uncles at the evenin' table makes his living runnin' hot cars
Slips me a hundred dollar bill, says
"Charlie, you best remember who your friend are."
I got a cold mind to go tripping across that thin line
I ain't makin' straight time
Eight years in, it feels like you're gonna die
But you get used to anything
Sooner or later it becomes your life
Kitchen floor in the evening, tossin' my little babies high
Mary's smilin', but she watches me out of the corner of her eye
Seems you can't get any more than half free
I step out onto the front porch, and suck the cold air deep inside of me
Got a cold mind to go tripping cross that thin line
I'm sick of doin' straight time
In the basement, huntin' gun and a hacksaw
Sip a beer, and thirteen inches of barrel drop to the floor
Come home in the evening, can't get the smell from my hands
Lay my head down on the pillow
And, go driftin' off into foreign lands

At My Most Beautiful
(Buck/Mills/Stipe)
I’ve found a way to make you
I’ve found a way
a way to make you smile
I read bad poetry
into your machine.
I save your messages
just to hear your voice.
you always listen carefully
to awkward rhymes.
you always say your name,
like I wouldn’t know it’s you,
at your most beautiful
I’ve found a way to make you
I’ve found a way
a way to make you smile
at my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly.
with every one, whisper I love you.
I let you sleep.
I know you’re closed eye watching me,
listening.
I thought I saw a smile.
I’ve found a way to make you
I’ve found a way
a way to make you smile
Rain On The Scarecrow
(Mellencamp)
Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the
Farmers Bank foreclosed
Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land
He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land"
When you take away a man's dignity he can't
work his fields and cows
There'll be blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name
And some nights I feel like dyin' Like that scarecrow in the rain
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
F The CC
(Earle)
I used to listen to the radio
And I don’t guess they’re listenin’ to me no more
They talk too much but that’s okay
I don’t understand a single word they say
Piss and moan about the immigrants
But don’t say nothin’ about the president
A democracy don’t work that way
I can say anything I wanna say
So **** the FCC
**** the FBI
**** the CIA
Livin’ in the mother****in’ USA
People tell me that I’m paranoid
And I admit I’m gettin’ pretty nervous, boy
It just gets tougher everyday
To sit around and watch it while it slips away
Been called a traitor and a patriot
Call me anything you want to but
Just don’t forget your history
Dirty Lenny died so we could all be free
Amerika v. 6.0 (The Best We Can Do)
(Earle)
Look at ya
Yeah, take a look in the mirror now tell me what you see
Another satisfied customer in the front of the line for the American dream
I remember when we was both out on the boulevard
Talkin' revolution and singin' the blues
Nowadays it's letters to the editor and cheatin' on our taxes
Is the best that we can do
Come on
Look around
There's doctors down on Wall Street
Sharpenin' their scalpels and tryin' to cut a deal
Meanwhile, back at the hospital
We got accountants playin' God and countin' out the pills
Yeah, I know, that sucks – that your HMO
Ain't doin' what you thought it would do
But everybody's gotta die sometime and we can't save everybody
It's the best that we can do
Four score and a hundred and fifty years ago
Our forefathers made us equal as long as we can pay
Yeah, well maybe that wasn't exactly what they was thinkin'
Version six-point-oh of the American way
But hey we can just build a great wall around the country club
To keep the riff-raff out until the slump is through
Yeah, I realize that ain't exactly democratic, but it's either them or us and
And it's the best we can do
Yeah, passionely conservative
It's the best we can do
Conservatively passionate
It's the best we can do
Meanwhile, still thinkin'
Hey, let's wage a war on drugs
It's the best we can do
Well, I don't know about you, but I kinda dig this global warming thing...
Steve M. 10-04-2004, 09:15 PM Never Like This - Family
(Dave Mason)
Wear Wellington boots when you tread into water,
But what do you do when she's finally caught you?
You just can't take off or go underground,
You just have to find yourself another way 'round.
Been through this before, but never like this.
Her mother is smiling across from the sofa,
Dad's watching the telly but taking no notice.
Instead he just plays with his bright-coloured blocks,
Occasionally speaks of little-girl frocks.
Been through this before, but never like this.
Beginning to wish that you'd never met
The girl with the faraway look in her eyes.
But to your surprise, she pours you some tea.
How many lumps - is it two, one or five?
You suddenly find yourself glad that you came,
And you're sure that the room doesn't look quite the same.
And Dad's got you into his bright-coloured blocks,
Whilst Mother still smiles in her little-girl frocks.
And the girl with the faraway look in her eyes
Has now become very important in life.
Been through this before, but never like this.
Steve M. 10-06-2004, 10:15 PM We Just Disagree - Dave Mason
(Mason)
Been away, haven't seen you in a while.
How've you been?
Have you changed your style
And did they?
But we've grown up differently,
You don't seem the same.
Seems you've lost your feel for me.
(CHORUS)
So let's leave it alone,
'Cause we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guy.
There ain't no bad guy.
There's only you and me, and we just disagree.
Ooh, ooh ,ooh, oh oh-ohhhhh.
I'm going back to a place that's far away.
How 'bout you?
Have you got a place to stay?
Why should I care
When I'm just tryin' to get along?
We were friends,
But now it's the end of our love song.
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Steve M. 10-13-2004, 02:20 PM Love Me Do - the Beatles

Someone like you.

Steve M. 10-14-2004, 12:11 AM Me My Friend - Family
(Whitney / Chapman)
Me my friend,
I have seen many lands, me my friend.
I have been far and wide,
I have sailed many a tide,
I have rolled many a ride.
But I wish, me my friend,
I could sail to the stars.
Have the gift to transport
My whole being, my whole thought,
To a world of dreams,
My friend.
Me my friend,
I have loved many girls, me my friend.
I have told many lies,
I have asked many whys,
I have whispered many sighs.
But I wish, me my friend,
I could have 'til the end,
Someone to love and hold
Through the warmth and the cold
Of my lonely years,
My friend.
Me my friend,
Me my friend. . . .
Steve M. 10-15-2004, 05:44 PM I Shot the Sheriff - Bob Marley and the Wailers
(FIRST CHORUS)
I shot the sheriff,
But I didn't shoot the deputy.
It was I who shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot no deputy.
All around in my hometown,
They're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty,
For the killing of a deputy.
For the life of a deputy.
I say. . . .
(SECOND CHORUS)
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff,
And they say it is a capital offense.
Sheriff John Brown always hated me.
For what? I don't know.
Every time that I'd plant my seeds,
He'd say, "Kill them before they grow."
He'd say, "Kill them before they grow."
I say. . . .
(THIRD CHORUS)
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defense.
It was I who shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defense.
Freedom came my way one day,
And I started out of town then.
All of a sudden, I see Sheriff John Brown,
Aiming to shoot me down.
So I shot him, I shot him down.
I say. . . .
(REPEAT FIRST CHORUS)
Reflections got the better of me,
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the world,
But one day the bottom will drop out.
Yes, one day the bottom will dop out.
I say. . . .
(REPEAT FIRST CHORUS)
Steve M. 10-17-2004, 09:15 PM Bob Dylan's 115th Dream - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
I was riding on the Mayflower when I thought I spied some land.
I yelled for Captain Arab (I have, you understand),
Who came running to the deck, said "Boys, forget the whale!
We're going over yonder! Cut the engines, change the sails!"
"Haul along the bowline," we sang that melody
Like all tough sailors do when they're far away at sea.
"I think I'll call it America," I said as we hit land.
I took a deep breath; I fell down, I could not stand.
Captain Arab, he started writing out some deeds,
He said, "Let's set up a fort and start buying the place with beads."
Just then this cop comes down the street, crazy as a loon.
He throws us all in jail for carrying harpoons.
Ah, me, I busted out - don't even ask me how.
I went to get some help, I walked by a Guernsey cow
Who directed me down to the Bowery slums,
Where people carried signs saging, "BAN THE BUMS!"
I jumped right into line, saying, "I hope that I'm not late!"
When I realized I hadn't eaten for five days straight.
I went into a restaurant looking for the cook.
I told him I was the editor of a famous etiquette book.
The waitress, he was handsome; he wore a powdered blue cape.
I ordered some suzette, I said, "Could you please make that crepe?"
Just then, the whole kitchen exploded from boiling fat.
Food was flying everywhere, and I left without my hat.
Now, I didn't mean to be nosy, but I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab and all the boys back in the tank.
They asked me for some collateral, and I pulled down my pants.
They threw me in the alley, when up comes this girl from France,
Who invited me to her house; I went, but she had a friend
Who knocked me out, robbed my boots, and I was on the street again.
Well, I rapped upon a house with the U.S. flag upon display.
I said, "Could you help me out? I got some friends down the way."
The man says, "Get out of here! I'll tear you limb from limb!"
I said, "You know, they refused Jesus, too," he said, "You're not Him!
Get out of here before I break your bones - I ain't your pop!"
I decided to have him arrested, and I went looking for a cop.
I ran right outside, I hopped inside a cab.
I went out the other door, this Englishman said, "Fab!"
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand and a chariot that stood
Parked across from a building advertising brotherhood.
I ran right threw the front door like hobo sailor does,
But it was just a funeral parlor, and the man asked me who I was.
I repeated that my friends were all in jail, with a sigh.
He gave me his card - he said, "Call me if they die."
I shook his hand and say goodbye and ran out to the street
When a bowling ball came down the road and knocked me off my feet!
A pay phone was ringing; it just about blew my mind!
When I picked it up and said hello, this foot came through the line!
Well, about this time I was fed up at trying to make a stab,
At bringing back any help for my friends and Captain Arab.
So I decided to flip a coin, like either heads or tails,
To let me know if I should go back to the ship or back to jail.
So I hocked my sailor suit and I got a coin to flip.
It came up tails - it rhymed with "sails" - so I made it back to the ship!
Well, I got back and took the parking ticket off the mast.
I was ripping it to shreds whe nthis Coast Guard boat came past.
They asked me my name, and I said, "Captain Kidd."
They believed me, but they wanted to know what exactly that I did.
I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed.
They let me go right away; they were very paranoid!
Well, the last I heard of Arab, he was stuck on a whale
That was married to the deputy sheriff of the jail.
But the funniest thing was, when I was leaving the bay,
I saw three ships a-sailin'; they were all heading my way.
I asked the captain what his name was and how come he didn't drive a truck.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
MariposaLKB 10-18-2004, 06:50 AM Show me the way - Styx
Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven
But every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to
idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my
faith
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way
And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with
hatred
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've
so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't
know
Show me the way, Show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain
And wash my confusion away
And if I see a light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I'll get there someday
Show me the way
Every night I say a prayer
In the hope that there's a heaven...
Steve M. 10-24-2004, 08:39 PM Everybody's Talkin' - Harry Nilsson
(Fred Neil)
Everybody's talkin' at me,
I don't hear a word they're sayin,'
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stop and stare,
I don't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.
(BRIDGE)
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes.
Banking off of the northeast wind,
Sailing on a summer breeze,
And skipping over the ocean like a stone.
Whoa, whoa-ooh-whoa, whoa, whoa. . . .
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
Everybody's talkin' at me,
Can't hear a word they're sayin,'
Only the echoes of my mind.
But I won't let you leave my love behind.
No, I won't let you leave. . . .
Whoa-ah-ahhhhh. . . .
I won't let you leave my love behind.

One, two, one two three four. . . .
Well that disco beat can sure get funky,
All them pretty songs too slow.
I like to sit and pick with them good ol' boys,
Maybe New Wave's in, I just don't know.
When the critics try to analyze and curry to trends
I just sit back and watch 'em come and go,
And I can play that rock and roll!
:guitar:
Yeah, well, I can play that rockin' rock and roll!

But just call me Joe!

MariposaLKB 11-02-2004, 06:22 PM Someone Else’s Story
Long ago in someone else’s lifetime
Someone with my name, who looked a lot like me
Came to know a man and made a promise:
He only had to say, and that’s where she would be
Lately, although the feelings run just as deep,
The promise she made has grown impossible to keep
And yet, I wish it wasn’t so…
Will he miss me if I go?
In a way, it’s Someone Else’s Story
I don’t see myself as taking part at all
Yesterday, the girl that I grew up with
Finally could see the writing on the wall
Sadly, she realized she’d left him behind
And sadder than that, she knew he wouldn’t even mind
I know there’s nothing left to say…
Would he listen if I stay?
It’s all very well to say,
"You fool, it’s now or never!"
I could be choosing no choices whatsoever…
I could be in Someone Else’s Story
Someone else’s life and he could be in mine
I don’t see a reason to be lonely
I could take my chances further down the line
And if that girl I knew should ask my advice
I wouldn’t hesitate; she needn’t ask me twice:
"Go now!"
I’d tell her that for free…
The problem is the girl is me

Jrnygrl 11-03-2004, 02:03 AM FAITHFULLY Journey (Jon Cain)
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully
Jrnygrl 11-03-2004, 02:14 AM Send Her My Love
(S. Perry/J. Cain)
It's been so long
Since I've seen her face
You say she's doin' fine
I still recall
A sad cafe
How it hurt so bad to see her cry
I didn't want to say good-bye
Send her my love, memories remain
Send her my love, roses never fade
Send her my love
The same hotel, the same old room
I'm on the road again
She needed so much more
Than I could give
We knew our love could not pretend
Broken hearts can always mend.
Callin' out her name I'm dreamin'
Reflections of a face I'm seein'
It's her voice
That keeps on haunting me
Send her, send her my love
Roses never fade
Memories remain
Send her, send her, my love
Jrnygrl 11-03-2004, 02:38 AM A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
(S. Cooke)
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
It's been a long, long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard livin'
But i'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
I go to the movie
And i go downtown
Somebody keep tellin' me
Don't hang around
It's been a long, long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother, help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees,
Ohhhh
There've been times that i thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able,
To carry on
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Jrnygrl 11-03-2004, 03:03 AM REFLECTIONS - THE SUPREMES
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, i'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that i'm crying
Reflects a hurt i can't control
'cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As i peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love i gave all
All the love
All the love that I wasted
All the tears
All the tears that I tasted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream thats lost
From the hurt, that you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects a love that used to be
In you I put all my faith and trust
Right before my eyes, my world
has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a hat full of promises
are all that's left of lovin you
Reflections of the way
life used to be
Reflections of the love
you took from me
In you I put all my faith and trust
right before my eyes my world has turned
to dust
Steve M. 11-11-2004, 12:32 AM Winter - Family
(Whitney / Chapman)
Winter time, it brings me down,
Ice cold wind, snow on the ground.
Soon I'll feel the summer breezes,
Watch it as it carefully seizes.
Thistle down, send it round,
Slowly upward, slowly down,
Gently moving, never a sound.
Wish that I could hibernate,
Go to sleep and never wake,
Until the sun comes shining once again.
Winter time, it brings me down,
Overcoats and scarves thrown round.
Cold dark nights, dense wintry gales,
Frozen feet in snowy trails.
Slowly homeward, trudging through
Wind and rain and hailstorms, too,
Where's the sun, I wish I knew.
Winter time, it brings me down,
Ice cold wind, snow on the ground.
Winter time, it brings me down,
Overcoats and scarves thrown round.
Steve M. 11-12-2004, 12:36 AM In honor of November 11. . . .
Armistice Day - Paul Simon
(Simon)
On Armistice Day
The Philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad
Shufflin' brown tunes
Hanging around
No long drawn blown out excuses
Were made
When I needed a friend she was there
Just like an easy chair
Armistice Day
Armistice Day
That's all I really wanted to say
Oh I'm weary from walking
In Washington, D.C.
I'm coming to see my Congressman
But he's avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in Washington, D.C.
Oh Congresswoman
Won't you tell that Congressman
I've waited such a long time
I've about waited all that I can
Oh Congresswoman
Won't you tell that Congressman
Steve M. 11-16-2004, 11:16 AM Mean Mr. Mustard - the Beatles
Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park,
Shaves in the dark,
Tryin' to save paper.
Sleeps in a hole in the road,
Savin' up to buy some clothes,
Keeps a ten bob note up his nose.
Such a mean old man,
Such a mean old man.
His sister Pam works in the shop,
She never stops,
She's a go-getter.
Takes him out to look at the Queen,
Only place that he's ever been,
Always shouts out soemthing obscene.
Such a dirty old man,
A dirty old man.
Steve M. 11-17-2004, 11:26 PM Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell
(Mitchell)
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinginig hot spot.
(REFRAIN)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know you've got 'til it's gone,
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
(Oooh, bop bop bop bop!)
They took all the trees
And put'em in a tree museum,
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see'em.
(REFRAIN)
Hey farmer farmer,
Put away that DDT now.
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees.
Please!
(REFRAIN)
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam,
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man.
(REFRAIN)
I said, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. . . .
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
(Oooh, bop bop bop bop!)
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
(Oooh, bop bop bop bop!)
THEY PAVED PARADISE,
Put up a parking lot! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Steve M. 11-20-2004, 05:10 PM The Boston Rag - Steely Dan
(Becker / Faigen)
Any news was good news,
And the feeling was bad at home.
I was out of my mind
And you were on the phone.
Lonnie was the kingpin
Back in 1965.
I was singing this song
When Lonnie came alive.
Bring back the Boston Rag,
Tell all your buddies that it ain't no drag.
Bring back the Boston Rag.
You were Lady Bayside,
There was nothing that I could do.
So I pointed my car
Down Seventh Avenue.
Lonnie swept the playroom,
And he swallowed up all he found.
It was forty-eight hours
'Til Lonnie came around.
Bring back the Boston Rag,
Tell all your buddies that it ain't no drag.
(You better bring it on home!)
Bring back the Boston Rag.
Bring back the Boston Rag. . . .
Steve M. 11-21-2004, 09:59 PM Outlaw Blues - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
Ain't it hard to stumble
And land in some funny lagoon?
Ain't it hard to stumble
And land in some muddy lagoon
Especially when it's nine below zero
And three o'clock in the afternoon?
Ain't gonna hang no picture,
Ain't gonna hang no picture frame.
Ain't gonna hang no picture,
Or hang no picture frame.
Well, I might look like Robert Ford
But I feel just like a Jesse James.
Well, I wish I was
On some Australian mountain range.
Lord, I wish I was
On some Australian mountain range.
I got no reason to be there
But I imagine it would be some kind of a change.
I got my dark sunglasses,
I got for good luck my black tooth.
I got my dark sunglasses,
I'm carrying for good luck my black tooth.
Don't ask me nothin' about nothin' -
I just might tell you the truth.
I got a woman in Jackson,
But I ain't gonna say her name.
I got a woman in Jackson,
Oh, I ain't gonna say her name.
She's a brown-skinned woman
But I love her just the same.
Steve M. 11-21-2004, 10:00 PM As I Went Out One Morning - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
As Iwent out one morning
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's,
I spied the fairest damsel
That ever did walk in chains.
I offered her my hand,
She took me by the arm.
I knew that very instant
She meant to do me harm.
"Apart from me this moment,"
I told her with my voice.
Said she, "But I don't wish to."
Said I, "But you have no choice."
"I beg you, sir," she pleaded
From the corners of her mouth,
"I will secretly accept you,
And together we'll fly south."
Just then, Tom Paine himself
Came running from across the field,
Shouting at this lovely girl
And commanding her to yield.
And as she was letting go her grip,
Up Tom Paine did run.
"I'm sorry, sir," he said to me,
"I'm sorry for what she's done."
Steve M. 11-27-2004, 09:09 PM Dear Landlord - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
Dear landlord, please don't put a price on my soul,
My burden is heavy; my dreams are beyond control.
When that steamboat whistle blows, I'm gonna give you all I got to give,
And I do hope you receive it well, depending on the way you feel that you live.
Dear landlord, please hear these words that I speak.
I know you have suffered much, but in this you are not do unique.
All of us times, we might work too hard to have it too fast and too much,
And anyone can fill his life up with things he can see but he just cannot touch.
Dear landlord, please don't dismiss my case.
I'm not about to argue; I'm not about to move to no other place.
Now each of us has his own special gift, and you know this was meant to be true,
So if you don't underestimate me, I won't underestimate you.
Steve M. 12-02-2004, 03:24 PM I Am a Lonesome Hobo - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
I am a lonesome hobo without family or friends,
Where another man's life might begin, that's exactly where mine ends.
I have tried my hand at bribery, blackmail and deceit,
And I've served time for everything 'cept begging on the street.
Where once I was rather prosperous, there was nothing I did lack,
I had fourteen-carat gold in my mouth and silk upon my back.
But I did not trust my brother, I carried him to blame,
Which led me to my fatal doom to wander off in shame.
Kind ladies and kind gentlemen, soon I will be gone.
But let me just warn you all, before I do pass on,
Stay free from petty jealousies, live by no man's code,
And hold your judgment for yourself lest you wind up on this road.
Steve M. 12-03-2004, 11:01 PM Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd
I was cuttin' a rug, down at a place called the Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou,
When in walks a man with a gun in his hand
And he was lookin' for a-you-know-who!
He said, "Hey there, fellow, with the hair colored yellow,
What'cha tryin' ta prove?
'Cause that's my woman there, and I'm a man who cares,
And this-a might be all for you."
(I said, "Excuse me. . . .")
:guitar:
I was scared and fearin' for my life,
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree,
'Cause he was lean, and mean, and big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me!
"Oh, wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her,
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me, but Iwish you would let me
Ask one favor from you."
"Oh, won'tcha gimme three steps,
Gimme three steps, mister,
GImme three steps towards the door,
GImme threee steps, gimme three steps, mister,
And you won't see-a me no more.
For sure!"
:guitar:
Well, the crowd blew away, and I began to pray,
And the water fell on the floor,
And I'm tellin' you son, well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a .44!
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was looking for,
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was heading out towards the door,
"Oh won'tcha gimme three steps,
Gimme three steps, mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door,
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister,
And you won't see a-me no more!"
(Show me the back door!)
:guitar: :rock:
Steve M. 12-08-2004, 12:02 AM Ballad For a Friend - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
Sad-eyed, sittin' on a railroad track,
Watching that old smokestack,
Train's a-leavin,' but it won't be back.
Years ago, we'd hang around
Watching trains roll through the town.
Now that train is a-graveyard bound.
We used to go up to that North Country,
Lakes and streams and mines so free.
I had no better friend than he.
Something happened to him that day,
I thought I heard a stranger say.
I turned my head and stole away.
A diesel truck was rolling slow,
Pulling down a heavy load,
Left him on a Utah road.
They carried him back to his hometown,
His mother cried, his sister moaned,
Listening to them church bells tone.
Lady T 12-09-2004, 02:22 AM KIND OF WOMAN
By Stevie Nicks
Temptation falls in your path
No hesitation why you ask
You have another waiting at home
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
You didnt mean to meet her you cry
Oh but the sun goes down every night
She came to you when you were alone
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
I promised myself...a long time ago
It would be different to let you go
If not at least within
The touch of my fingers-
It was close to being-
In Heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
To being in heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Is to be....heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
I know I know....
Lady T 12-09-2004, 03:05 AM Love Of My Life
(Queen)
Love of my life-you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know, what it means to me
Love of my life don't leave me
You've taken my love, you now desert me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me because you don't know-
what it means to me
You won't remember-
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way-
When I get older
I will be there at your side to remind you-
how I still love you-still love you
Back-hurry back
Please bring it back home to me-
becasue you don't know what it means to me-
Love of my life
Love of my life :heart:
(Mercury)
Steve M. 12-09-2004, 12:06 PM Friend of the Devil - the Grateful Dead
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds,
Didn't get to sleep last night 'til the morning came around.
Set out running, but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills,
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.
Set out running, but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there,
He took my twenty-dollar bill and he vanished in the air.
Set out running, but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
I got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my heart's delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail,
And if he catches me I'll spend my life in jail.
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee,
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.
Set out running, but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
If I get home before daylight,
I just might get some sleep tonight.

Lady T 12-10-2004, 09:12 PM That's Alright
(Stevie Nicks)
Meet me down by the railway station
I've been waiting for you
And I'm through waiting for you
The train sings the same kind of blues
Well, I don't know why I always trusted you
Somethings I think that I must have
I must have been crazy
Crazy to wait on you, baby
Well, I turned around and got pushed down, baby
Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you...
I'm alright......
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope that you find a love
Your own kind of designs of love
That's alright
That's alright
I believe, I believe
that I know you
'Cause we've been a long time
Now I got to show you, that I
Well, I never did believe in time
You know, changin' anybody's mind
Now, I can't define love
like it should be
That's alright
That's alright
Please, i've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright, yes
That's alright
Steve M. 12-10-2004, 11:22 PM The Promised Land - Bruce Springsteen
On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert,
I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving 'cross the Wanyesboro County line,
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time
Working all day in my daddy's garage
Driving all night chasing some mirage,
Pretty soon, little girl, I'm gonna take charge.
(CHORUS)
The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand.
If I could take one moment into my hands. . . .
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
But I still believe in a promised land.
I've done my best to live the right way,
I get up every morning and go to work each day.
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold,
Sometimes I feel so weak, I just want to explode,
Explode and tear this town apart,
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart,
Find somebody itching for something to start.
(CHORUS)
There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor,
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm.
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground.
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and broken-hearted.
(CHORUS)
Steve M. 12-10-2004, 11:37 PM Operator - the Grateful Dead
(McKernan)
Operator, can you help me, help me if you please?
Give me the right area code and the number that I need.
My rider left upon the Midnight Flyer,
Singin' like a summer breeze.
I think she's somewhere down south, down about Baton Rouge,
But I just can't remember no number, a number I can use.
Directory don't have it, Central done forgot,
Tryin' to find a number to use.
Tryin' to check out her number, tryin' to run down her line,
Operator says that's privileged information
And it ain't no business of mine.
It's floodin' down in Texas, poles are out in Utah,
Got to find a private line.
She might be hangin' 'round a steel mill,
Working in a house of blue lights,
Or ridin' a getaway bus out of Portland talking to the night.
I don't know where she's goin,' I don't care where she's been,
Long as she's been doin' it right.
Long as she's been doin' it right.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bull**** three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks here in this hopeless ****ing hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay.
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.
It's a bull**** three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks here in this hopeless ****ing hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay.
Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dip****s.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will 'cause
I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid ****, silly ****, stupid ****...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
Learn to swim.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Learn to swim.
**** L Ron Hubbard and
**** all his clones.
**** all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.
Learn to swim.
**** retro anything.
**** your tattoos.
**** all you junkies and
**** your short memory.
Learn to swim.
**** smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
**** these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.
Learn to swim.
'Cause I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it all come down.
Suck it down.
Flush it down.
Steve M. 12-15-2004, 11:22 PM In case no one noticed, the four songs I just posted have one thing in common - they all mention Utah. :) I only did that just to see if anyone would notice.
Steve M. 12-15-2004, 11:36 PM Here's a song that has nothing to do with Utah! :D
On the Road Again - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
Well, I wake up in the morning, there's frogs inside my socks,
Your mama, she's hidin' inside the icebox,
Your daddy walks in wearing an Napoleon Bonaparte mask.
Then you ask why I odn't live here - honey, do you have to ask?
Well, I go to pet your monkey, I get a face full of claws.
I ask, "Who's that in the fireplace?" and you tell me, "Santa Claus."
The milkman comes in, he's wearing a derby hat.
Then you ask why I don't live here - honey, how come you have to ask me that?
Well, I ask for something to eat, I'm hungry as a hog,
So I get brown rice, seaweed, and a dirty hot dog.
I got a hole where my stomach disaappeared.
Then you ask why I don't live here - honey, I gotta think you're really weird.
Your grandpa's cane, it turns into a sword.
Your grandma prays to pictures that are pasted on a board.
Everything inside my pockets, your uncle steals.
Then you ask why I don't live here - honey, I can't believe that you're for real.
Well, there's fistfights in the ktichen, it's enough to make me cry.
The mailman comes in, even he's gotta take a side.
Even the butler, he's got something to prove.
Then you ask why I don't live here - honey, how come you don't move?
:lol:
MariposaLKB 12-16-2004, 08:21 AM Christmas is Coming Home
B. J. Thomas
As a child I never stopped believing
The joy that filled our house on Christmas Day
By the fire we loved to share the meaning
With songs we sang all through the holiday
Oh, and I long for that feeling
The one of peace on earth for everyone
Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home
By the tree we welcomed back the memory
To talk about how fast the year's gone by
So blessed seeing all the family
For a moment, we just stop the world in time
Oh, how I long for that feeling
The one that keeps the Christmas dream alive
Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home
When the trees are covered up with snow
In your heart you'll know it's time to go home
Home is in your heart, remember
No matter where you are you're not alone
Love will find you in December
'Cause Christmas is coming home
Christmas is coming home.
MariposaLKB 12-19-2004, 04:00 PM Love is All
Air Supply - The Christmas Album 1987
When we come into this world
And we hunger for that touch
From the one that brought us life
From the one that gave so much
Innocence will take your hand
And speak though the one thought in your mind
Don't you know that love is all
Love is where we all begin
And when we knock on heaven's door
Only love will let us in
And as we gather to ourselves
A part of everything we see
We realize that what we own
Isn't what we really need
Innocence take my hand
speak through the one thought in my mind
Don't you know that love is all
Love is where we all begin
And when we knock on heaven's door
Only love will let us in
Don't you know that love is all
Love is all that we must do
It is the reason why we live
Love is all I have for you
True love cannot be broken
Through all the tears and pain
Only one truth survives, only one truth remains
Don't you know that love is all
Love is where we all begin
And when we knock on heaven's door
Only love will let us in
Don't you know that love is all
Love is all that we must do
It is the reason why we live
Love is all I have for you
Steve M. 12-19-2004, 10:37 PM Old Songs New Songs - Family
(Whitney / Chapman)
Fire's on, I'm getting warm,
My girl here, she lies sleeping.
The other door slips ajar, and it's my wife,
She's been peeping
While I've been leaping.
High grey stone walls, they all. . .
They all surround me.
Well, the tracker dogs cane around while their masters howled,
Cowered to find me.
Said I can't be found near.
Old songs, new songs,
Keep on singing.
A new day yesterday,
All gone, until tomorrow.
But I surely know a girl like her could only bring,
Bring me sorrow -
Much worse to follow.
All in all, I'm gonna do my best
To do the work that they hand me.
Well, I'm gonna do my best, so if I'm asleep,
Understand me.
Don't you underhand me, no.
Old songs, new songs,
Keep on singing.
Steve M. 12-29-2004, 01:17 PM Everybody's Gotta Learn Some Time - the Korgis
Change your heart,
Look around you.
Change your heart,
It will astound you.
I need your loving,
Like the sunshine.
Mmm. . . .
But eveybody's gotta learn some time,
Everybody's gotta learn some time.
(REPEAT ONCE)
Everybody's gotta learn some time. . . .
Steve M. 01-10-2005, 09:19 PM I Pity The Poor Immigrant - Bob Dylan
(Dylan)
I pity the poor immigrant
Who wishes he would have stayed home,
Who uses all his power to do evil
But in the end is always left so alone.
That man whom, with his fingers, cheats,
And who lies with every breath,
Who passionately hates his life
And likewise fears his death.
I pity the poor immigrant
Whose strength is spent in vain,
Whose heaven is like iron sides,
Whose tears are like rain.
Who eats but is not satisfied,
Who hears but does not see,
Who falls in love with wealth itself
And turns his back on me.
I pity the poor immigrant
Who tramples through the mud,
Who fills his mouth with laughing and
Who builds his town with blood.
Whose visions in the final end
Must shatter like the glass,
I pity the poor immigrant
When his gladness comes to pass.

phoebe7165 01-14-2005, 12:22 AM Home - Dream Theater
Shine-lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home...
Home...It's what I long for
Back home...where I belong.
The city-it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow-eternity
My demons are coming to drown me.
Help-I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home.
I remember the first time she came to me
Poured her soul out all night and cried...
I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one that has died...
I never thought that I
Could carry on with this lie
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try.
Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home...
Home...It's what I long for
My home...where she belongs
Her ecstasy-means so much to me
Even deceiving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home
Help-he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home.
Her story-it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me
Help--regression, obsession
I can't keep away from it's clutch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home.
Lady T 01-14-2005, 09:42 PM SISTERS OF THE MOON
(Stevie Nicks)
Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes
More sounds than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me
Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me
And so I followed
As friends often do
I cared not for love, nor money
I think she knew
The people, they love her
And still they are the most cruel
She asked me
be my sister, sister of the moon
Some call her sister of the moon
Some say illusions are her game
Wrap her in velvet
Does anyone, ah, know her name?
So we make our choices
When there is no choice
And we listen to their voices
Ignoring our own voice....
Ok I am new at this. Lady T told me about it so here I go. My song is called Change The World. The Artist is S Club
I wanna change the world
But I know I have to start with me
Can you help me?
When your world is closin'
Like it's comin' at ya
When you're in the darkest corner
I'm the one who'll come and catch ya
When your life is wanderin'
Down some nowhere highway
Try a different point of view and
Do your best to see things my way
Lookin' down., there is brother facin' brother
Dyin' one by one
But from the ground you can look up at the stars
And see the words 'I love you' painted high above you
Gonna change the world
Gonna make it right
Gonna get down on my knees tonight
Gonna change it all
Gonna find a way
Gonna start to change the world today
There is not a book that
You cannot rewrite
When you're in the darkest corner
All you do is shine your light and
When the other guy is
Bigger than the sky
Just before he's gonna hit ya
You can always try and smile cos
All around, hear a million lonely people
As the say "Goodbye"
Yet there's the sound of a world that's full of laughter
Because now I know I'm better at "Hello" and
Gonna change the world
Gonna make it right
Gonna get down on my knees tonight
Gonna change it all
Gonna find a way
Gonna start to change the world today
When something is wrong, only we can turn it around
So give me your hand, my brother and walk together
Cos we've got a mountain to climb
Change the world today
Gonna change the world
Gonna make it right
Gonna get down on my knees tonight
Gonna change it all
Gonna find a way
Gonna start to change the world today
[Repeat to fade]

Song is I'll Be There also by S Club. This one is for my friend, Lady T
"I'll Be There"
Looking in my memory, what did I see?
All the good times you gave to me.
Even from the park, way after dark,
Listen to the radio in my car.
It's times like these you see the wood from the trees,
You come to my aid when I'm on my knees.
The next time you feel alone, just pick up the phone.
Reach out and touch, whisper my name.
I will deliver, again and again.
Straight from the heart, honest and true,
I promise you this, I will be there for you.
When I think, I'd be lost without you.
Makes me wonder what I did before you.
When it mattered you were there for me,
You were my rock boy, you were my energy.
Time flies but I'll never forget, the way it was the day we met.
Don't be surprised, you know it's true.
I'm gonna be there for you.
Reach out and touch, whisper my name.
I will deliver, again and again.
Straight from the heart, honest and true,
I promise you this, I will be there for you.
Through the sun, through the rain,
I will still feel the same,
Be it good, be it bad,
I'll always understand.
When you're down, when you're blue,
I will be there for you.
Cause nobody does it better,
We're gonna get there together.
Through the sun, and through the rain.
I'll be there for you.
Through the sun, and through the rain.
Be there, I'll be there for you.
Reach out and touch, whisper my name.
I will deliver, again and again.
Straight from the heart, honest and true,
I promise you this, I will be there for you.

Moonlight Lady 01-14-2005, 11:13 PM Musn't forget my dedication...
And i, get sick when I’m around, i, can’t stand to be around,
I, hate everything about you!
Everything about you,
Everything about you,
Everything about you!
Some say I got a bad attitude,
But that don’t change the way I feel about you,
And if you think this thought might bring me down,
Look again ’cause I ain’t wearin’ no frown!

Originally performed by Minor Threat
I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about youI don't want to hear it
Cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear itI'm sick and tired jof all your lies
I don't want to hear itWhen are you gonna realize
I don't want to hear itI know you're full of ****
I don't want to hear itAll you do is talk about youI don't want to hear it
Cause I know that none of it is true
I don't want to hear itI'm sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear itWhen are you going to realize
I don't want to hear itI know your full of ****
Shut your f**king mouth I don't care what you say
You keep talkingTalking everyday First you're telling stories
Then you're telling lies When the f**k are you gonna realize
I don't want to hear itI know you're full of ****
Ah, shut the f**k up

Sexy Sadie - the Beatles
(Lennon / McCartney)
Sexy Sadie, what have you done?
You made a fool of everyone,
You made a fool of everyone,
Sexy Sadie, oh, what have you done?
Sexy Sadie, you broke the rules,
You laid it down for all to see.
You laid it down for all to see,
Sexy Sadie, oh, you broke the rules.
One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover.
She came along to turn on everyone,
Sexy Sadie, the greatest of them all.
Sexy Sadie, how did you know
The world was waitng just for you?
The world was waiting just for you,
Sexy Sadie, oh, how did you know.
Sexy Sadie, you'll get yours yet,
However big you think you are.
However big you think you are,
Sexy Sadie, oh, you'll get yours yet.
We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table,
Just a smile would lighten everything.
Sexy Sadie, she's the latest and the greatest of them all.
She made a fool of everyone,
Sexy Sadie.
However big you think you are,
Sexy Sadie.
Here is a real song. It's Hulk Hogan's WWF-WWE theme Real American
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right-fight for your life
When it comes crashin' down and it hurts inside,
You've gotta take a stand- it don't help to hide.
If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride.
I gotta be a man - I can't let it slide.
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
Well I feel stronger 'bout right and wrong
And I don't take trouble for very long.
I've got something deep inside of me,
courage is the thing that keeps us free!
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride.
I gotta be a man - I can't let it slide.
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!

Even though Christmas is over, here is one of my favorite Christmas songs. It's the very popular White Christmas by Irving Berlin
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
:)
MariposaLKB 01-15-2005, 10:32 PM The song Josh Groban just sang on the Tsunami Aid concert--IMHO the most appropriate and best performed musical contribution of the evening.
To Where You Are
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory’s so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be that you are my forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight to see you smile
If only for a while, to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me, every day
’Cause you are my forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight to see you smile
If only for a while, to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Can We Be Mature
Dismemberment Plan
I remember second grade
We were up 3 to 1 in the second half
Timmy tripped some kid
His mom got so mad
She ran out on the field and kneed that referee in the balls
We had to forfeit the game...
WE BEAT THE **** OUT OF TIMMY!
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Early Saturdays
All you can hear In the local parks:
"GET THE BALL! IN THE NET! GET THE BALL IN THE NET!"
Some little kids who shot
Get his voice, on the ball
Gets hit in the head, gets the H.O.R.S.E.,
"IT'S ONLY A GAME, YOU!"
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Oh, can we be mature?
Lady T 01-16-2005, 02:23 AM She's Leaving Home
(Lennon & McCartney)
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving a note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free
She (We gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone on the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessy
How could she do this to me
She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.
She (What did we do that was wrong)
is having (We didn't know it was wrong fun)
(Fun is one thing that money can't buy)
(Something inside that we will always denied)
For so many years. Bye, bye
She leaving home bye bye....

I kinda like that song.

Bitch
Eminem
Justin? It's Zoe.
Kelly did not have me call, however
I just listened to Eminem in her car and
it is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
And I seriously wanna call his ****ing agent
And tell him how ****ing disgusting he is
It, like, makes me upset and
I'm now nausious and I can't eat lunch. Goodbye.

Steve M. 01-16-2005, 03:13 PM See Through Windows - Family
(Whitney / Chapman)
See through windows, look at things
Sunlight, shadows, cat's paws, bird's wings
Eyes see life's meaning.
Mist-clear windows, look through them
Snow melts, grass shows, doors open
Eyes see life's meaning.
Real life's peculiar, way things are happening,
Mountains like embers, glowing and smoldering
Following, wallowing, deep in the void. . .
Slowly but surely you start coming close to. . . it.
Tears on the pane, windows mottled
Here through the rain, world looks bottled
Eyes see life's meaning. . . .
Here is a good one by Paul McCartney that I like.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why don’t we?
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in ev’ryone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don’t we?
Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, ooh
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in ev’ryone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don’t we?
Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony (repeat and fade)
Steve M. 01-16-2005, 10:18 PM Don't Pass Me By - the Beatles
(Richard Starkey)
I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive,
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive.
Waiting for your knock, dear,
On my old front door.
I don't hear you -
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?
I hear the clock a-ticking
On the mantel shelf,
See the hands a-moving
But I'm by myself.
I wonder where you are tonight,
And why I'm by myself.
I don't see you -
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?
(CHORUS)
Don't pass me by,
Dont make me cry,
Don't make me blue.
'Cause you know, darling,
I love only you.
Yo'll never know it hurt me so,
How I hate to see you go.
Don't pass me by -
Don't make me cry.
I'm sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair,
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair.
You said that you would be late,
About an hour or two.
I said, "That's all right" -
I'm waiting here, just waiting to hear from you.
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Lady T 01-16-2005, 10:29 PM SARA
(Stevie Nicks)
Wait a minute baby..
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
And he was just like a great dark
wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match-he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
Hold on
The night is coming and the starling flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere, anywhere
Aske me and I'm there because I care
Sara, you're the pot in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
I'll come by
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat and it never really died)
Another Real One by S Club 7
We Can Work it out
Tell me why you look fed up,
Two heads are better than the one.
Tell me why you look so sad,
Surely things can't be so bad.
Don't you worry 'bout a thing,
Cause me and you, we can solve anything.
Don't you feel you're all alone,
Cause that's not true, that's what friends are for.
Chorus: Woah, woah, woah, we can work it out now baby,
Woah, woah, woah, we can work it, we can work it,
Woah, woah, woah, we can work it out now baby,
Woah, woah, woah, we can work it on out.
Tell me when and where to meet,
Cause you know friendship's a two way street.
We've been friends forever now,
Haven't we always helped each other out.
Don't you worry 'bout a thing,
Cause me and you, we can solve anything.
Don't you feel you're all alone,
Cause that's not true, that's what friends are for.
[Chorus]

Lady T 01-18-2005, 03:59 AM You Never Give Me Your Money
(Lennon/McCartney)
You never give me your money
you only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiation you
break down....
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation I
break down...
Out of college money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any job I got the sack
Monday morning turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go....
But oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
nowhere to go
nowhere to go
Ah Ooo, ah, Oooo, Ah...
One sweet dream
Pick up my bags and get in the
limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream
Came true today
Came true today
Came true today...
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to heaven....

Lady T 01-18-2005, 04:20 AM She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
(Lennon/McCartney)
She came in through the bathroom
window
protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wonders
By the banks of her own lagoon...
Didn't anybody tell her
Didn't anyone see
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone with me...
She said she's always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the
answer
Well I knew what I could not say...
And so I quit the Police Department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help
me
She could steal, but she could not rob...
Didn't anybody tell her
Didn't anybody see
Sunday's on the phone with Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me....
Lady T 01-18-2005, 04:28 AM A Day In The Life
(Lennon/McCartney)
I read the news today, oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had
changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
if he was from the House of Lords...
I saw a film today oh, boy
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on...
Woke up, got out of bed
dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
and looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream...
Ah....
I read the news today oh , boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn,
Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes
it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on....

Lady T 01-20-2005, 01:57 AM Walking in Space
(From the musical Hair and a GORGEOUS song)
The Tribe 1968
Doors locked (doors locked)
Blinds Pulled (blinds pulled)
Lights low (lights low)
My body (my body)
My body
My body
Is walking in space
My soul is in orbit
With God face to face
Floating, flipping
Flying, tripping
Tripping from Pottsville to Starlight
Tripping from Starlight to Moonville
On a rocket to
The fourth Dimension
Total self awarness
The Intention
My mind is as clear as country air
I feel my flesh, all colors mesh
Red black
Blue brown
Yellow crimson
Green orange
Purple pink
Violet white
White white
White white
White white
All the clouds are cumuloft
Walking in space
Oh my God your skin is soft
I love your face
How dare they try to end this beauty?
How dare they try to end this beauty?
To keeps us under foot
They bury us in soot
Pretending it's a chore
To ship us off to war
In this dive
We rediscover sensation
In this dive
We rediscover sensation
Walking in space
We finds the purpose of peace
The beauty of life
You can no longer hide
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Wide wide wide!
MariposaLKB 01-20-2005, 08:16 AM My favorite song from a Broadway show--"Chess"--and the story of my life LOL!
Someone Else’s Story
Long ago in someone else’s lifetime
Someone with my name, who looked a lot like me
Came to know a man and made a promise:
He only had to say, and that’s where she would be
Lately, although the feelings run just as deep,
The promise she made has grown impossible to keep
And yet, I wish it wasn’t so…
Will he miss me if I go?
In a way, it’s Someone Else’s Story
I don’t see myself as taking part at all
Yesterday, the girl that I grew up with
Finally could see the writing on the wall
Sadly, she realized she’d left him behind
And sadder than that, she knew he wouldn’t even mind
I know there’s nothing left to say…
Would he listen if I stay?
It’s all very well to say,
"You fool, it’s now or never!"
I could be choosing no choices whatsoever…
I could be in Someone Else’s Story
Someone else’s life and he could be in mine
I don’t see a reason to be lonely
I could take my chances further down the line
And if that girl I knew should ask my advice
I wouldn’t hesitate; she needn’t ask me twice:
"Go now!"
I’d tell her that for free…
The problem is the girl is me
MariposaLKB 01-21-2005, 10:27 PM Colour My World
As time goes on,
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now,
Now that you're near,
Promise your love
That I've waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Colour my world with hope of loving you
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:11 AM You Oughta Know
(Alanis Morissette)
I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you **** her
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:16 AM Crazy
(Aerosmith)
You know you drive me up the wall
The way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we’re makin’ up more than we’re makin’ love
And it always seems you’ve got something on your mind
Other than me
Girl, you gotta change your crazy ways - you hear me
Say you’re leavin’ on the seven thirty train
And that you’re heading out to hollywood
Girl, you’ve been givin’ me that line so many times
It kinda gets that feelin’ bad looks good
That kinda lovin’ turns a man to a slave
That kinda lovin’ sends a man right to his grave
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on - then you’re gone
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
What can I do, honey
I feel like the color blue
You’re packin’ up your stuff
And and talkin’ like it’s tough
And tryin’ to tell me
That it’s time to go
But I know you ain’t wearin’ nothin’ underneath that
Overcoat and that it’s all a show
That kinda lovin’ makes me wanna pull down the shades,
Yeah
That kinda lovin’ yeah, now I’m never gonna be the same
I’m losing my mind
Girl, ’cause I’m goin’ crazy
I need your love, honey, yeah
I need your love
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:20 AM Angeleyes
(ABBA)
Last night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
’cause he always used to look at me that way
Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say
It’s a game he likes to play
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you’re hypnotized
He’ll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You’ll think you’re in paradise
And one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise
Don’t look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no
Sometimes when I’m lonely I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain?
How can I forget that name?
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you’re hypnotized
He’ll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You’ll think you’re in paradise
And one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise
Don’t look too deep into those angeleyes
Crazy ’bout his angeleyes
Angeleyes
He took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You’ll think you’re in paradise
Then one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise
Don’t look too deep into those angeleyes

oh,
at times I felt like I had lost my self
cuz people try to make you someone else
I had to learn to trust my heart

where I can speak my mind
and not feel
I'm living in a box
to keep the girl I am concealed
oh
I finally found the strength so I can
leave that all behind

this is my time, to shine
this is my place to find
all that I have inside

this is my time to show
what I must have always known

all it takes is time to realize
that you and only you
can be the one to decide
I can, I will, I know that everything I want
I can do
believing in my self
then every wish I make will come true
oh,
it took a while to get this far
but I'm here now
chorus:
this is my time, to shine
this is my place to find
all that I have inside

here I finally found my wings
now I know I'm ready to fly…………

On a Monday I'm waiting
Tuesday I'm fading
And by Wednesday I can't sleep
Then the phone rings I hear you
And darkness is a clear view
Cause you've come to rescue me
Fall, with you I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath
I hope it lasts
Ohhhh
It seems like I can finally
Rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhh
It's as if you know me better
Than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
I am moody and messy
I get restless and it's senseless
have you never seem to care?
When I'm angry you listen
make me happy it's your mission
And you won't stop till I'm there
Fall, sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom crash
You're all I have
Ohhhh
It seems like I can finally
Rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhh
It's as if you know me better
Than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
How do you know?
Everything I'm about to say
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face
I hope it never goes away
Yeah
On a Monday I am waiting
By Tuesday I am fading
Into your arms
So I can breathe
Ohhhh
It seems like I can finally
Rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhh
It's as if you know me better
Than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell

Ohhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

My baby drives a car
Hey!
He calls me when he wants
Hey!
I don a pair of zip-up boots (uh huh huh)
I go and shake my hair out loose (uh huh huh)
I never take my eyes off you
Oh no no, oh no no
No I don't think so
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
This won't last for long, not forever
And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
Footloose and fancy-free
Hey! Oooh
My baby waits for me
Hey! Oooh oh oooh
He likes to put his own records on (uh huh huh)
He likes to tell me the things he's done (uh huh huh)
Such a strange way of having fun
Oh no no, oh no no
And away we go
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
This won't last for long, not forever
And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
Hey, stop!
You made a promise to make me a star
(A hat, a lift)
You made a promise I'd get to the top
(A chat, a gift)
You made a promise to make me a star
(A drink, a kiss)
You made a promise I'd get to the top
(A hit, a miss)
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
This won't last for long, not forever
And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
(You made a promise to make me a star)
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
(You made a promise I'd get to the top)
All I seem to get is the other other
(You made a promise to make me a star)
This won't last for long, not forever

And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
(You made a promise to make me a star)
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
(You made a promise I'd get to the top)
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:27 AM Run
(Snow Patrol)
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up...
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Superstar 01-22-2005, 05:28 AM Sweet Dreams My LA Ex - Rachel Stevens
Hey, hang your red gloves up
'Cause there's nothing left to prove now
Hey, hang your red gloves up baby
No-one cares but you
What planet are you from?
Accuse me of things that I never done
Listen to you carrying on
Cheating another love song
If I were in your shoes
I'd whisper before I shout
Can't you stop playing that record again
Find somebody else to talk about
If I were in your shoes
I'd worry of the effects
You've had your say but now its my turn

You've had your say but now its my turn

D'you think that I'm the fairer (S-E-X)
Sweet dreams, my LA ex
Ooooooooooooh

Belair 01-22-2005, 05:31 AM I Am I Feel
(Alisha's Attic)
He said: "Angel put that purple skirt on, y'know it makes me hot"
He said: "Come on, Come on, get on, get up, look like
You're enjoying my company",
Oh and he said: "You can't change the world,
you're another one of my fools
You were born to have my baby now.
Don't cry my precious one, cause
I ain't got no sympathy for you"
And I am, I feel, like
I wanna bite his head off
Yeah that'd be fun
Cause I sure got an appetite
I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little, but nothing happened
And the big bad wolf's still in my bed
I am, I feel
(I sometimes think that you forget) that
I am, I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
This girl's a person y'know
I am, I feel
Oh he said: "Angel your halo ain't fitted that good for a little while now
You ain't got that certain glow that I get a kick out of"
(Like it bothered me)
I'm taking it on the chin, with a grin
But my feet are itchin' and itchin',
He says: "Don't cry my precious one
Cause I ain't got no sympathy for you"
And I am, I feel, like
I wanna smash his face in
Yeah! That'd be fun
Cause I sure got a fist for a fight
I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little, but nothing happened
And the big bad wolf's still in my bed
And I am, I feel
(I sometimes think that you forget) that
I am, I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
And this girl's a person y'know
I am, I feel
Well it's had to get through it when you're knockin' on wood
And I got to thinkin' I was worth more than he put on my boots
I got a soul if you get down to the roots
I am, I feel
(I sometimes think that you forget) that
I am, I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
And this girl's a person y'know
I am, I feel.

Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no life
I defy
CHORUS:
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin
'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Than always staying in
Feel the wind
Chorus
I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean
Chorus
Let's go back
Back to the beginning

And your old black hat

They look good on me
You're never gonna get them back
At least not today
Not today

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be ok

Okay
You can say you're bored
(If you wanna)
You could act real tough
(If you wanna)
You could say you're torn
But I've heard enough
Thank you
You've made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
You won't see a single tear
It isn't gonna happen here
At least not today
Not today

If it's all been done
What is left to do
How can you hang up
If the line is dead
If you wanna walk
I'm a step ahead
If you're moving on
I'm already gone
If the light is off
Then it isn't on
At least not today
Not today
Not today, 'cuz
If it's over let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem

Belair 01-22-2005, 05:35 AM I Live For You
(Chynna Phillips)
You touch my hand, I live for you
Because you're eyes they understand, I live for you
Come to me,
Lay your body down,
I wont deny you, anything
Look at me, I feel so different now,
You're the one i cry too
You're all around me,
I breathe you in like air.
You're arms have found me,
Like waves that find the sand,
And baby i'll be there
(Chorus)
You touch my hand, I live for you,
Because your eyes they understand, i live for you,
In my life, you come through,
I live for, I live for,I live for you.
Walk with me, the future's in the wind,
Though the road is winding, under me
Talk to me, tell me all your fears,
I'm the one you cry to.
You call me lover, and tell me I'm your life,
I wont run for cover, I've shown you who I am
And in my darkest nights..
In you're arms
I come alive
(Live for you, Live for you)
In my life, I am free
No-one could ever understand,
What you do to me
You hear my soul, so deep in you,
No body knows the things you know,
I live for you
In my life
(In my life)
You come through
(You come through)
I live for
I live for
I live for
I live for
I live for you
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:37 AM Why Can't I
(Liz Phair)
Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you, and we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too
This is, this is just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful
Here we are, we're at the beginning
We haven't f*cked yet, but my heads spinning
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
I'd love for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
I'd love for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
for this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:40 AM Sunday Morning
(Maroon 5)
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy,
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:42 AM Runaway Train
(Soul Asylum)
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a fire fly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep, there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train never coming back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mysteries seem so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
Runaway train never coming back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealin' with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my viens
Runaway but it always seems the same
Runaway train never coming back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Belair 01-22-2005, 05:46 AM Mama I'm Strange
(Melissa Etheridge)
What's this little lie
They keep on telling me
It's just another high
They keep on selling me
I was only five
They fed me so much jive
They said just have a ball Just be a Barbie doll
They churned and burned me out
Until they turned me out
Over and over again
Mama I'm strange
The thoughts and the wants are the locks
On the back of my brain
I'm descending pretending I'm blending
I'm going insane
And they want me to change
Mama I'm strange
I'm on a shaky wall
I'm tripping down the hall
And all the king's men can't
Can't sew me up again
I've got a leaky head
Don't know the full extent
I'm drowning in my bed
I'm just an accident
They chewed and blew me out
Until they threw me out
Over and over again
If I could tranquilize
I might just vaporize
They couldn't supervise
They couldn't criticize
I have no evidence
I have no reverence
It makes no difference
I have no innocence
Help me mama help me now
Steve M. 01-22-2005, 02:29 PM Peace Of Mind - Family
(Whitney / Chapman)
Take your time, ease my mind,
Wait until my thoughts are blind.
See the sun, day has come,
That's the way that things are done.
There's no stopping, things are throbbing, still I find
Peaceful feeling, cars are speeding,
Peace of mind. . . .
I can feel things reveal
Peace within - now should I kneel?
Overrun, things to come,
Contented much to carry on.
There's no stopping, things are throbbing, still I find
Peaceful feeling, cars are speeding,
Peace of mind. . . .
Ahh. . .
Ahhhh. . . .
MariposaLKB 01-22-2005, 02:50 PM I Know Him So Well
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well
Wasn't it good
Oh so good
Wasn't he fine
Oh so fine
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine
But in the end he needs
a little bit more than me, more security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know him well
Wasn't it good
Wasn't he fine
Oh so fine
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart
Wasn't it good,
wasn't he fine
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine
But in the end he needs
a little bit more than me, more security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well

You go to lost wages, lost wages,
You go to lost wages. . . .
(CHORUS)
While the poor people sleeping with the shade on the light,
While the poor people sleeping, all the stars come out at night.
While the poor people sleeping with the shade on he light,
While the poor people slepping, all the stars come out at night.
After closing time
At the Gurensey fair,
I detect the El Supremo
From the room at the top at the stairs.
Well, I've been around the world,
And I've been in the Washington Zoo.
And you know in my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true.
(CHORUS)
They got the house on the corner,
With the rug inside.
They got the booze they need,
All that money can buy.
They got the shapely bodies,
They got the Steely Dan T-shirts.
And for the coupee de grace,
They're outrageous. (Oh, honey, let me tell you. . . .)
(CHORUS)
(GUITAR SOLO)
Show business kids making movies of themsleves,
You they don't give a :censored: about anybody else
You know you go to (lost wages). . . .
While the poor people sleeping with the shade on the light. . .

(Jon Bon Jovi)
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby that's just me
Yeah I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and words don't rhyme
And I know when I die
You'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always
Now your pictures that
You left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
Once that made you
Have to say good bye
What i'd give to run my fingers
Through your hair
To touch your lips
To hold you near
When you say your prayers
Try to understand
I've made mistakes
I'm just a man
When he holds you close
When he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him cause the words are mine
To says to you till the end of time
And I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Well there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and out old lives
We'll find a place
Where the sun still shines
Yeah I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and words don't rhyme
And I know when I die
You'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always
Belair 01-23-2005, 06:37 AM Brown Eyed Girl
(Van Morrison)
Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mind
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Belair 01-23-2005, 06:39 AM Its All Coming Back To Me Now
(Celine Dion)
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, (it's all coming back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this (It's all coming back to me now)
And if we...
Belair 01-23-2005, 06:40 AM Se A Vida E
(Pet Shop Boys)
Come outside and see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Although we see the world through different eyes
We share the same idea of paradise
So don't search in the starts for signs of love
Look around your life, you'll find enough
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Why do you want to sit alone in gothic gloom
Surrounded by the ghosts of love that haunt your room?
Somewhere there's a different door to open wide
You gotta throw those skeletons out of your closet and come outside
So you will see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e'
Belair 01-23-2005, 06:42 AM Believe
(Cher)
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break trough
There’s no talking to you
It’s so sad that you’re leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all said and done
You’re gonna be the lonely one, ooh
Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can’t do that
And there’s no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
’cos I’ve had time to think it trough
And maybe I’m too good for you, ooh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
But I know that I’ll get trough this
’cos I know that I am strong
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore, no I don’t need you anymore
Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in love after love?

Belair 01-24-2005, 08:08 AM Bed Of Roses
(Bon Jovi)
Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don’t know
’cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she’s still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won’t make of me when I’m dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we’re talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you’re all that I need
I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
Well I’m so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king’s ransom in dimes I’d given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it’s hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I’ll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskey’s gone dry
The barkeeper’s wig’s crooked
And she’s giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
When you close your eyes
Know I’ll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won’t be alone
But you know that don’t
Mean I’m not lonely I’ve got nothing to prove
For it’s you that I’d die to defend
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
Belair 01-24-2005, 08:12 AM Crying
Aerosmith
There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Listen, all I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Love it sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on me
Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same
It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl, I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me
'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Til you give your heart away
Belair 01-24-2005, 08:13 AM Semi Charmed Life
(Third Eye Blind)
I'm packed and I'm holding,
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and
she lives for me, She says she lives for me,
Ovation, She's got her own motivation,
she comes round and she goes down on me,
And I make her smile, It's like a drug for you,
Do ever what you want to do,
Coming over you,
Keep on smiling,
what we go through.
One stop to the rhythm that divides you,
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse,
Chop another line like a coda with a curse,
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage.
We give them the games we play, she said,
I want something else, to get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye.
The sky it was gold, it was rose,
I was taking sips of it through my nose,
And I wish I could get back there,
Some place back there,
Smiling in the pictures you would take,
Doing crystal myth,
Will lift you up until you break,
It won't stop,
I won't come down, I keep stock,
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop,
And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given,
Then I bumped again,
And then I bumped again.
How do I get back there to,
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to,
The place where you said,
I want something else to get me through this,
semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, good-bye,
I believe in the sand beneath my toes,
The beach gives a feeling,
An earthy feeling,
I believe in the faith that grows,
And the four right chords can make me cry,
When I'm with you I feel like I could die.
And that would be all right,
All right, When the plane came in,
She said she was crashing,
The velvet it rips,
In the city we tripped,
On the urge to feel alive,
But now I'm struggling to survive,
The days you were wearing,
That velvet dress,
You're the priestess,
must confess,
Those little red panties,
They pass the test,
Slide up around the belly,
Face down on the mattress,
One,
Now you hold me,
And we're broken.
Still it's all that I want to do.
Feel myself with a head made of the ground,
I'm scared but I'm not coming down.
And I won't run for my life,
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
but nothing is all right,
All right, I want something else,
To get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say,
good-bye.
Belair 01-24-2005, 08:14 AM Bye Bye Bye
(Nsync)
I'm doin' this tonight,
You're probably gonna start a fight.
I know this can't be right.
Hey baby come on,
I loved you endlessly,
When you weren't there for me.
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Bye Bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Bye Bye
Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye
(Oh, Oh)
Just hit me with the truth,
Now, girl you're more than welcome to.
So give me one good reason,
Baby come on
I live for you and me,
And now I really come to see,
That life would be much better once you're gone.
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie,
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Bye Bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie,

It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,

I don't wanna be the reason for your love no more
Bye Bye
I'm checkin' out
I'm signin' off
Don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough
Don't wanna be your fool
In this game for two
So I'm leavin' you behind
Bye, bye, bye...
I don't wanna make it tough (wanna make it tough)
But I had enough
And it ain't no lie (Bye, bye baby...)
Bye, Bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two (I don't wanna be your fool)
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye, bye, bye...
Don't really wanna make it tough (don't really wanna make it tough),
I just wanna tell you that I had enough (that I had enough).
Might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Bye, bye, bye
Belair 01-24-2005, 08:17 AM Big Blue Sea
[Bob Schneider)
Woke up in a stupor
Guess it's time to face the pooper
Sometimes I feel like superman
Sometimes I'm just recuperating
My head is twisting in its cage
My mind feels like a twenty gage
I hope it's just a passing stage
My heart's not red it's
Beige
And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
Well I think I'll tell you all that I know
Try to tell you all about it thought you
Might've lord i doubt it
Everyday's a waste I know everyday's a funeral
I'm cutting out I'm feeling lost
I've lost my mind I'm Mr. Frost
I've collected all the evidence
I'm off the edge I'm on the fence
And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
Well I think I'll tell you all that I know
I don't want to be alone I want to be a stone
I wanna sink to the bottom of the ocean
And lie there with you til I'm gone
At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me At the bottom of the big blue sea
The bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me At the bottom of the big blue sea
I know I'll never know nobody
Better than I know myself
But I can't even figure out
Just what the f*ck I'm all about
I'm sinking, I'm swimming no wait a minute
I'm drowning no I ain't kidding around
Sometimes i think i'm gonna make it
Sometimes I fake it
And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
Well I think I'll tell you all that I know
Anywhere and everywhere
Made up my mind it's getting weird
It's queer to think it might not
Get much better than today I fear
Won't know true happiness
I tried so hard I did my best
My best wasn't good enough
Oh god I hate this stuff
And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
Well I think I'll tell you all that I know
I don't want to be alone I want to be a stone
I wanna sink to the bottom of the ocean
And lie there laugh there with you laugh
Yhere with you til I'm gone
At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me At the bottom of the big blue sea
the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me At the bottom of the big blue sea
And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
Lady T 01-24-2005, 08:50 AM Too Late For Love
(Artist Def Leppard)
To someone who I love (very very much) :heart:
Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
The lady 'cross the steet she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light
But it's too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late, too late
Too late for love...
London boys are staring as the girls go hand to hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
And the Queen of the dream stands before them all
She strenches out her hand as the curtains fall...
Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
Are the actor and the clown waiting for their clue
And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life she's always playin' the fool.
MariposaLKB 01-25-2005, 02:07 PM I See You In Everyone- Survivor
Every night, a fleeting glimpse of candlelight
Chases 'cross the atmosphere -- but you're not here
and I see the shape of moonlight on the cityscape
But now the skyline wears a shroud
I hear your voice in every crowd
Listening for your footsteps in every hallway
Watching for your headlights around the bend
I can see you standing in every doorway
Out in the street, in every glance
I see your reflection, I fall in a trance
You can't know what you have done
I see you in everyone, in everyone
In the night I see your eyes
From every direction a different disguise
Can't you see what I've become
It's making me crazy, I see you in everyone
Day by day, I watch the moments slip away
And traces of reality come back to me
Then I see your face, somewhere in a distant place
The fantasy has gone too far --
I close my eyes and there you are
I can see you standing in every doorway
I can feel your heartbeat -- I hear your voice
And hiding in my shadow you're with me always
Out in the street, in every glance
I see your reflection, I fall in a trance
You can't know what you have done
I see you in everyone, in everyone
In the night I see your eyes
From every direction a different disguise
You can't know what you have done
It's making me crazy, I see you in everyone

(A. Yankovic)
There he goes, he's drive me crazy
When he says "Here's Johnny"
That's his job, it's so amazing
All he says is "Here's Johnny"
I never miss a moment when he's on the tube
His being there has made my life worth living
The chills run down my spine
Each time he says that line
"Here's Johnny" He says, and laughs in his special way
"Johnny" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny" he says and second fiddle is his game
Ed McMahon's his name, all right
Woah, oh yeah
Dressed so fine, he's such a cool dude
Hear him say "Here's Johnny"
Watch him selling beer and dog food
Hear him say "Here's Johnny"
I got a letter from him just the other day
He said "You may already be a winner"
A trooper to the end
A Clydesdale's best friend
"Here's Johnny" he says and laughs in his special way
"Johnny" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny" he says and that's the way he gets his pay
What a living
Oh "Here's Johnny, Here's Johnny" Whoa no
"Here's Johnny, Here's Johnny" No no, no no no no I don't believe it
"Here's Johnny" he says and everytime it's just the same
Ed McMahon's his name
(Special guy) A very special guy, all right
(He's on) He's on every night
(Every night) Can't change the channel
When he's sitting on the panel
"Here's Johnny"
There he goes, he gives me goose bumps
When he says "Hey-Oh, Hey-Hey-Oh"
"Here's Johnny" he says and laughs in his special way
"Johnny" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny" he says, that seems to be his claim to fame
Ed McMahon's his name
"Here's Johnny"
"Here's Johnny"
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's Johnny"
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)

I would love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show.
Yes, I'd love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show.
Yes, I'm dyin' to be a star
And make them laugh,
Sound just like a record on a phonograph.
Those days are gone forever,
Over a long time ago.
I have never met Napoleon,
But I plan to find the time.
I have never met Napoleon,
But I plan to find the time,
Yes I do.
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill,
They tell me he was lonely; he's lonely still.
Those days are gone forever,
Over a long time ago.
I stepped up on the platform,
The man gave me the news.
He siad, "You must be joking, son -
Where did you get those shoes?"
("Where did you get those shoes?")
Well, I've seen it on the TV, the movie show,
They say the times are changing but I just don't know.
These things are gone forever,
Over a long time ago.
Oh yeah. . . .
MariposaLKB 02-03-2005, 09:24 PM When You Say You Love Me - Josh Groban
Like the sound of silence calling
I hear your voice and suddenly I’m falling
Lost in a dream
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting
You say those words, my heart stops beating
I wonder what it means
What could it be that comes over me
At times I can’t move
At times I can hardly breathe
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there’s no one else alive
You’re the one I’ve always thought of
I don’t know how, but I feel sheltered in your love
You’re where I belong
And when you’re with me, if I close my eyes
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time
Somewhere between the heavens and earth
Frozen in time
Oh, when you say those words
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there’s no one else alive
And this journey that we’re on
How far we’ve come and I
Celebrate every moment
And when you say you love me
That’s all you have to say
I’ll always feel this way
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment, I know why I’m alive
When you say you love me
When you say you love me
Do you know how I love you?
Belair 02-04-2005, 02:29 AM Dance (While the Music Still Goes On)
(Abba)
Oh, my love it makes me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?
Baby, give me one more
Dance while the music still goes on
Don’t think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight’s a night we borrow.
Let’s make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we’re all alone
So dance, it’s our way to say goodbye
Yes, all we have to do is
Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don’t you hear them play our song
God knows that we’ve been trying
But we didn’t make it ’cause nothing’s the same
We just couldn’t help it, nobody’s to blame
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye
Yet it seems to make me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was is just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?
Baby, give me one last
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance and believe me, when you’re gone
You know I won’t forget you
Our love was a snowbird, it’s flying away
You tell me it’s over, what more can I say?
So dance while the music still goes on
It’s gonna be our last goodbye
Dance while the music still goes on
Don’t think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight’s a night we borrow.
Let’s make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we’re all alone
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye
Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don’t you hear them play our song
God knows that we’ve been trying
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance and believe me, when you’re gone
You know I won’t forget you
Belair 02-04-2005, 02:51 AM The Winner Takes It All
(Abba)
I don’t wanna talk
About the things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain
Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don’t wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You’ve come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all......
Belair 02-04-2005, 02:54 AM If It Wasn't For The Nights
(Abba)
I got appointments, work I have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
Ohhh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Ohhh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
Belair 02-05-2005, 03:51 AM I Run Away
(Britney Spears)
You took your love away
Too fast
Left no chance to say
Look back
Now I know the truth-
It makes it easier,
Maybe when time goes by,
I’ll understand
Let’s pretend that I’ve moved on
And I’ll tell myself
That life goes on without you-
Open my eyes and look deep inside,
I run away
You threw it all away
So blind
Pushed me far from you and your life
Now I know the tears
Wont relieve the loneliness
Maybe when time goes by
I’ll understand it
Let’s pretend that I’ve moved on
And I’ll tell myself
That life goes on without you-
Open my eyes and look deep inside,
I run away
Belair 02-06-2005, 12:29 PM A Whole New World
(Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson-Aladdin)
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Belair 02-06-2005, 12:33 PM One Sweet Day
(Mariah Carey/Boys II Men)
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
Although the sun will never shine the same again
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
Belair 02-06-2005, 12:34 PM This Is My World
(Darius Rucker)
The look on your face
It could never explain your heart
And the touch of my lips
It could never tell u my thoughts
And U want me to change
I can't get used to
All U want me to be
I just can't pretend
To be anyone else
Cuz it's not really me
This is my world
This is who I am
And I'm not gonna give up myself
To make your life better
She said
This is how it is
I got my own life to live
And U can either accept me
Or baby
And if it's love
That we share
Then we can withstand all
The obstacles that life brings forth
And I will receive you
For who U are who u were
And baby who U will be
But U want me to change
Girl I can't get used to
All U want me to be
And I just can't pretend
To be anyone else, oh
Cuz it's not really me
This is my world
This is who I am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better, now
This is how it is
I got my own life to live
And U can either accept me
Or baby
This is my world
This is who i am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better
She said
This is how
I got my own life to live
And U can either accept me
Or baby let me go
U said I promise you the stars
And I'm
Giving you all I can now
U said love is not enough
And I know
U will see
If your life turns around
In my heart there is room for u
It's me and my world
This is who i am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better
She said
This is how
I got my life
And U can either accept me
Or baby
This is my world
Who I am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better, now
Oh, this is how
And I got my life
And U can either accept me
Or baby let me go
This is my world
My world
Baby let me go
Oh, this is who I am
Where I live
Got my own life to give
Oh, oh oh
My world
I'm not trying to change u
This is who I am
Please let me be me, yeah
MariposaLKB 02-06-2005, 01:45 PM You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban
When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
There is no life, no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
Steve M. 02-06-2005, 04:01 PM Here's one of the better Genesis songs from the Phil Collins years. . . .
Keep It Dark - Genesis
Found the man reported missing,
He wandered in his own.
It don't seem to bad if consider
Just what he's been through.
It seems he met up with a gang of thieves
Who mistook him for a man of means.
They locked him up and found he had no money,
And so they let him go again.
No he's back at home and happy
Just to see the kids.
I wish that I could really tell you,
All the things that happened to me.
And all that I have seen,
A world full people,
Their hearts full of joy,
Cities of life,
With no fear of war.
And thousands of creatures
With happier lives,
With meaning and no need to hate
And no need to hide.
Oh - keep it dark.
It seems strange to have to lie
About a world so right,
To tell instead a made-up story
From the world of night.
I wish theat I could really tell you
All the things that happened to me.
And all that I have seen,
A world full of people,
Their hearts full of joy,
Cities of life,
WIth no fear of war.
And thousands of creatures
With happier lives,
With meaning and no need to lie,
No need to hate and
No need to hide.
Oh - keep it dark.
Belair 02-07-2005, 03:01 AM Daydream Believer
(The Monkees)
Oh my god,i cant even begin to explain how much i loved this song
Oh, I could hide ’neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o’clock alarm would never ring.
Whoops it’s ringing and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin’ razor’s cold and it stings.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times starts and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
[instrumental interlude]
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Belair 02-07-2005, 03:03 AM I Wanna Be Free
(The Monkees)
This songs brings back sad memories.A friend of my Mum's who died at 21 in a car accident in the late 1970's,always loved this song,and it was played at her funeral.
I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don’t try me,
Say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don’t say you love me say you like me,
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Oh-oh-oh
I wanna hold yur hand,
Walk along the sadn
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm september wind, babe,
Say you’ll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
Belair 02-07-2005, 03:06 AM Shades of Gray
(The Monkees)
One of my favourite songs.Always brings a tear to my eye
When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Live was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share.
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
Only shades of gray.
Belair 02-07-2005, 03:08 AM Billy Dont Be A Hero
(Paper Lace)
Here's a flashback of one of the biggest hits :)
the marching band came down along main street
the soldiers blues fell in behind
i looked across and there i saw billy
waiting to go and join the line
and with her head upon his shoulder,
his young & lovely fiance
from where i stood
i saw she was crying
and through her tears i heard her say
billy, don't be a hero
don't be a fool with your life
billy, don't be a hero,
come back and make me your wife
and as Billy started to go
she said keep your pretty head lo-o-ow
billy don't be a hero
come back to me
the soldier blues were trapped on a hill side
the battle raging all around
the seargent cried
"we've got to hang on boys
we've got to hold this piece of ground
i need a volunteer to ride out
and bring us back some extra men"
and billys hand was up in a moment
forgetting all the words she said
she said....
billy, don't be a hero
don't be a fool with your life
billy, don't be a hero,
come back and make me your wife
and as Billy started to go
she said keep your pretty head lo-o-ow
billy don't be a hero
come back to me
i heard his fiance got a letter
that told how billy died that day
the letter said he was a hero
she should be proud he died that way
i heard she threw the letter away...
Belair 02-07-2005, 03:10 AM Song For The Lonely
(Cher)
When you're standing on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
So your heart's got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When heroes fall in love or war
They live forever
[Chorus:]
This is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight
For the broken hearted, battle scared
I'll be by your side
This is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer
'Coz someone's there for you
Well love don't need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleeding
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believing
[Chorus]
So let it find you
Where ever you may go
I'm right beside you
Don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more, oh no
This is a song for the lonely
And that's not only you
Through the darkest night
Gonna see the light
Love don't need a reason
Just to leave you bleeding
But you know inside
It's gonna be alright
Steve M. 02-07-2005, 10:59 AM Daydream Believer
(The Monkees)
Oh my god,i cant even begin to explain how much i loved this song
Hmm, I think I already posted these lyrics earlier on this thread! :eek:
This song was written by singer-songwriter John Stewart - not Jon Stewart, the host of "The Daily Show!" ;)
Steve M. 02-07-2005, 11:09 AM A New Day Yesterday - Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
My first time and last with you,
And we had some fun.
Went walking through the trees, yeah,
And I kissed you once.
Oh, I want to see you soon,
But I wonder how.
It was a new day yesterday,
But it's an old day now.
Spent a long time looking
For a game to play,
My luck should be so bad now
To turn out this way.
Oh, I had to leave today,
Just when I thought I'd found you.
It was a new day yesterday,
But it's an old day now.
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
(REPEAT SECOND VERSE)
It was a new day yesterday.
It was a new day yesterday.
It was a new day yesterday,
But it's an old. . . day now.

Belair 02-11-2005, 05:41 AM On My Own
(Whitney Houston)
I'm wiser now
I'm not the foolish girl you used to know
So long ago
I'm stronger now
I've learned from my mistakes which way to go
And I should know
I put myself aside to do it your way
But now I need to do it all alone
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'll keep it real you know
Time for me to do it on my own
Yeah yeah, mmm, yeah yeah
It's over now
I can't go back to living through your eyes
Too many lines
And if you don't know by now
I can't go back to being someone else
Not anymore
I never had a chance to do things my way
So now it's time for me to take control
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know
Time for me to do it
Oh I start again go back to one
I'm running things in my way
Can't stop me now, I've just begun
Don't even think about it
There ain't no way about it
I'm taking names, the ones of mine
Yes I'm gonna take my turn
It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone
I am not afraid to try it on my own
And I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know
It's time for me to do it on my own.
Belair 02-11-2005, 05:45 AM Angel Eyes
(Paulini)
Hey you’re looking good tonight
And every girl has got you in her sight
What, you doing with someone like me?
Surely one of life’s little mysteries
So tonight I’ll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do? What did I say?
To turn your angel eyes my way
Well I’m a girl who never learned to dance
Never even got one second glance
Across the crowded room was close enough
I could look but I could never touch
So tonight I’ll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do? What did I say?
To turn your angel eyes my way
Don’t anybody wake me
Don’t anybody wake me
It feels just a dream
Cause it’s the best thing
Cause it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me
All you ladies
All you ladies, you can look all you like
Cause this guy you see is leaving here with me
So tonight I’ll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do? What did I say?
To turn your angel eyes my way
Belair 02-11-2005, 05:47 AM Over
(Lindsay Lohan)
I watched the walls around me crumble
But its not like I won't build em up again
So heres your last chance for redemption
So take it while it lasts 'cause it will end
And my tears are turning into time I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
I cant live without you
Can't breathe without you I'm dreamin' bout you honestly
Tell me that its over
As if the world is spinning and I'm still living
It wont be right if were not in it together
Tell me that it's over
And I'll be the first to go
Don't want to be the last to know
I wont be the one to chase you
But at the same time your the heart that I call home
I'm always stuck with these emotions
And the more I try to feel the less I'm whole
My tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
My tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
Belair 02-11-2005, 05:48 AM End Of The Road
(Boys II Men)
Girl you know we belong together
I don't have time for you
To be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby
You just wait
We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart
Why do you play with my mind
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me
And leave me and never
Say goodbye
When I can't sleep at night
Without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try
I just break down and cry
Pain in my head
Oh, I'd rather be dead
Spinning around and around
CHORUS:
Although we've come
To the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Repeat chorus
Girl, I know you really love me
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only
Your first time
Maybe I'll forgive you
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together forever
You and I
Will you love me again
Like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead
Just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go
Repeat chorus
Girl, I'm here for you
All those time as night
When you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it
I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love
Do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not about to go out on cheat you
(Maybe I'll forgive you)
Just like you did
But baby that's alright
I love you anyway
(Maybe you will try)
And I'm still going to be
Here with you until my dying day
(We should be happy together forever)
Right now
I'm just in so much pain
'Cause you just won't come back to me
(You and I)
Will you?
Just come back
(Lonely)
Yes baby, my heart is lonely
(Lonely)
My heart hurts
(Lonely)
Yes, I feel pain too
Baby please
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go
Steve M. 02-11-2005, 12:32 PM Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square - Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
Bright city woman,
Walking down Leicester Square every day,
Gonna get a piece of my mind.
You think you're not a peace of my kind.
Everywhere the people looking,
Why don't you get up and sing?
Bright city woman,
Where did you learn all the things you say?
You listen to the newsman on TV.
You may fool yourself, but you don't fool me.
I'll see you in another place, another time.
You may be someone's, but you won't be mine.
Belair 02-12-2005, 02:54 PM Free Your Mind
(En Vogue)
I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes
That doesn't make me a prostitute
I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes
That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope
Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs
I might date another race or color
Doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers
Free your mind and the rest will follow
(Why oh why must it be this way)
Be color blind don't be so shallow
(Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me)
So I'm a sista
Buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad
So why dispute me and waste my time
Because you think that the price is too high for me
I can't look without being watched
You rang my buy before I made up my mind
Oh now attitude why even bother
I can't change your mind, you can't change my color
Free your mind and the rest will follow
(Why oh why must it be this way)
Be color blind, don't be so shallow
(Before you can read me, you gotta learn to see me
Belair 02-12-2005, 02:56 PM I'm Outta Love
(Anastacia)
Now baby come on
Don't claim that love you never let me feel
I should have known
'Cause you've brought nothing real
Come on be a man about it
You won't die
I ain't got no more tears to cry
And I can't take this no more
You know I gotta let it go
And you know
I'm outta love
Set me free
And let me out this misery
Just show me the way to get my life again
'Cause you can't handle me

Belair 02-12-2005, 02:58 PM Before Your Love
(Kelly Clarkson)
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why and I looked into your eyes
Where the world stretched out in front of me and I realized
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn't really living
I never lived, before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before of you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how I survived without you kiss
'Cause you've given me a reason to exist
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
Belair 02-12-2005, 03:01 PM All I See Is You
(Dusty Springfield)
I tried so hard
All summer through
Not to think too much of you
But the more I try
The more I find
I just can’t leave the past behind
Times that are happy
Are times that are few
And once I was happy
When I had you
But days have come and gone
Since you were here
Nights are twice as long
Without you near
Pictures on my mind
Stand out so clear
No matter where I am
Or what I do
My darling
All I see is you
You’re there in every dream
I ever dream
There at every place
I’ve ever been
Everyday I find
You’re in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I’m not blind
I see you still
And when I throw my arms out wide
I find that you’re not by my side
But one thing is for sure
Until I do
All I see is you
Everyday I find
You’re in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I’m not blind
I see you still, oh
I won’t live again
’til I’m with you
Oh, darling
I won’t love again
Unless it’s with you
So until the day
When you are back with me to stay
In every way
All I see is you
MariposaLKB 02-12-2005, 03:24 PM Remember - Josh Groban
(From the soundtrack of "Troy")
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember
When your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me
I am the one star that keeps burning so brightly
It is the last light to fade into the rising sun
I'm with you whenever you tell my story
For I am all I've done
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory, remember me
I am that warm voice in the cold wind that whispers
And if you listen you'll hear me call across the sky
As long as I still can reach out and touch you
Then I will never die
Remember
I'll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember
When your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever - remember me
Remember me, remember me
Belair 02-13-2005, 05:55 AM Walk On By
(Britney Spears)
I'm coming down with a heartache tonight
Only you can make it right
If I can't be with you holding you tight
There won't be no morning light
Everywhere I turn
I see your face
Reminding me of a higher place
Every time you smile, Angels cry
Every time you walk on by
I'm not the only
Feeling' lonely
Every time you walk on by
I try to say something'
But end up with nothing'
Every time you walk on by
I keep my cool
I pretend I'm not here
Every time you come too near
I'm such a fool cause
This love is true
And if I don't tell you
Someone else surely will
Everywhere I turn
I see your face
Reminding me of a higher place
Every time you smile, Angels cry
Every time you walk on by
Belair 02-13-2005, 05:56 AM Imitation Of Life
(R.E.M)
Charades, pop skill
Water hyacinth
Named by a poet
Imitation of life
Like a koi in a frozen pond
Like a goldfish in a bowl
I don't want to hear you cry
That sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try
You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced
You've got it all
You've got it sussed
Like a Friday fashion show
Teenager freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try
That sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try
No one can see you cry
That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's freezing rain, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
This sugarcane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry
This lightning storm, this tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry
That sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
Belair 02-13-2005, 05:58 AM I Think I Love You
(David Cassidy)
I'm sleeping
and right in the middle of a good dream
like all at once i wake up
from something that keeps knockin' at my brain.
before i go insane i hold my pillow to my head
and spring up in my bed
screaming out the words i dread:
"i think i love you!"
This morning
i woke up with this feeling
i didn't know how to deal with
and so i just decided to myself
i'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
and didn't i go and shout it
when you walked into my room.
"i think i love you!"
I think i love you.
so what am i so afraid of?
i'm afraid that i'm not sure of
a love there is no cure for.
I think i love you.
isn't that what life is made of?
though it worries me to say
i've never felt this way.
I don't know what i'm up against.
i don't know what it's all about.
i got so much to think about.
Hey, i think i love you.
so what am i so afraid of?
i'm afraid that i'm not sure of
a love there is no cure for.
I think i love you.
isn't that what life is made of?
though it worries me to say
i've never felt this way.
Believe me,
you really don't have to worry.
i only want to make you happy
and if you say,
"hey, go away," i will, but i think better still,
i'd better stay around and love you.
do you think i have a case?
let me ask you to your face:
do you think you love me?
I think i love you.
oh, i think i love you.
Belair 02-13-2005, 05:59 AM Ride It
(Geri Halliwell)
I'll be riding it
Wanna make some music
To take me in and out of my head
Get into my groove
in time with my body instead
And when the bass kicks in
I can feel my song beginning
Boy your lovin' gets me high
Cos you're the only one
Who can pump it loud the way I like
You're a DJ I'm a song

Let yourself go.
Ah you're riding it
Chicas bumping to the beat
From the side and underneath
Yeah my body's where this party's at
I'll be riding it
When you're spinning in
I'll be riding it
Here's a little rude and nasty
His tempo wwas an overload
He has jiggy with it here
but all I wanna do is vogue
And when the bass kicks in
I can dance like no one's watching
It's funny kinda feeling
Cos you're the only one
Who can pump it loud the way I like
You're a DJ I'm a song
Take me out and turn me on
Let yourself go

Chicas bumping to the beat
From the side and underneath

When you're spinning in
I'll be riding it
When you're spinning in
I'll be riding it
And when the bass kicks in

dandelion wine 02-13-2005, 07:16 AM "I Love You" - Donna Summer
Well he searched and searched for nights and days
Till he found the one he loved
And he wrapped her in his arms again
And he thanked the stars above
Then he found who he'd been looking for
And he stared into her eyes
He said "I love you"
Yes I do
He said "I love you"
She stared him right back in the eyes
With a look of disbelief
Then she gazed off into somewhere else
Was it real or just a dream
And she pulled him oh so close to her
And she whispered in his ear
She said "I love you"
Yes I do
She said "I love you too"
So together they will always be
Until the stars fall from the sky
So if you find someone you love you must never let them go
Hold them tight with all your might
And say three little words
You say "I love you"
You say "I love you"
Hollywood Wives - Laura Brannigan
She steps from the sauna
Her body's a jewel
Steamy and sexy
She's nobody's fool
Painted and permed
She's bound to explode
She works hard
To look young
Competition is tough
She drinks bottled water
And has lettuce for lunch
Her audience is waiting
For her to allure
Hollywood wives
Lives to survive
In a jungle of beauty
Loose tongues cut like knives
And they're spending their lives
On Rodeo Drive
For love's something money can't buy
For Hollywood wives
When she came to town
She lived on a dream
But settled for safety
Instead of the screen
It's not like a movie's
Out there on the streets
And some young starlet
Is waiting in line
Either way, it's just a matter of time
But she won't give him up
So easily
Hollywood wives
Lives to survive
In a jungle of beauty
Loose tongues cut like knives
And they're spending their lives
On Rodeo Drive
'Cause love's something money can't buy.....
For Hollywood wives
Steve M. 02-13-2005, 03:58 PM Back To The Family -Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
My telephone wakes me in the morning,
Have to get up to answer the call,
So I think I'll go back to the family
Where no one can ring me at all.
Living this life has its problems,
So I think that I'll give it a break.
Oh, I'm going back to the family,
'Cause I've had about all I can take.
Master's in the countinghouse,
Counting all his money,
Sister's sitting by the mirror,
She thinks her hair looks funny.
And here am I thinking to myself,
Just a wond'rin', where are things to do?
I think I enjoyed all my problems,
Where I did not get nothing for free.
Oh, I'm going back to the family,
Doing nothing is bothering me.
I'll get a train back to the city,
That soft life is getting me down.
There's more fun away from the family,
Get some action when I pull into town.
Everything I do is wrong -
What the hell was I thinking?
Phone keeps ringing all day long,
I got no time for thinking.
And every day has the same old way
Of giving me too much to do.
Looking Through the Eyes of Love - Melissa Manchester
Please
Don't let this feeling end
It's everything
I am
Everything
I want to be
I can see what's mine
Now
Finding out what's true
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes
Of love
Now
I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining
Now
Reaching out
To touch you
I can feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes
Of love
And now
I do believe
That even in the storm
We'll find some light
Knowing you're
Beside me
I'm all right
Please
Don't let this feeling end
It might not come again
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch
You
How I feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes
Of
Love...
She's in Love with the Boy - Trisha Yearwood
Katie sitting on her old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot going on tonight
In this one-horse town
Over yonder comin' up the road
In a beat up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy is laying on the horn
Splashing through the mud and the muck
Her daddy said
"He ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains
He got the short end of the stick"
But Katie's young and man she don't care
She'll follow Tommy
Anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's going to marry that boy someday
Katie and Tommy at the drive in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holding on to one another
To even care about the show
Later on outside the Tasty Freeze
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says "My high school ring will have to do
Til I can buy a wedding band"
Her daddy said
"He ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains
He got the short end of the stick"
But Katie's young and man she don't care
She'll follow Tommy
Anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's going to marry that boy someday
Her daddy's waitin up til half past twelve
When they come sneakin' up the walk
He says "Young lady get on up to your room
While me and junior have a talk"
Momma breaks in says "Don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
You yourself was just a hay seed plow boy
Who didn't have a row to how
"My daddy said
You wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains
You had the short end of the stick
"But he was wrong and honey, you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still at you
"She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday"
Steve M. 02-15-2005, 01:11 PM Look Into The Sun - Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
Took a sad song of one sweet evening,
I smiled and quickly turned away.
It's not easy singing sad songs,
But still the easiest way, I have to say.
So when you look into the sun
And see things we haven't done,
Oh, was it better, then, to run
Than to spend the summer crying?
Now summer cannot come anyway.
I had waited for time change her,
The only change that came was over me.
She pretended not to want love,
I hope she was only fooling me.
So when you look into the sun,
Look for the pleasures nearly won.
Or was it better, then, to run
Than to spend the summer singing?
And summer could have come in a day.
So if you hear my sad song singing,
Remember who and what you nearly had.
It's not easy singing sad songs,
When you can sing the song to make me glad.
So when you look into the sun,
And see the words you could have sung,
It's not too late, only begun.
We can still make summer.
Yes, summer always comes anyway.
So when you look into the sun,
And see the words you could have sung,
It's not too late, only begun.
Look into the sun.
Steve M. 02-18-2005, 10:27 PM Nothing Is Easy - Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
Nothing is easy,
Though time gets you worrying,
My friend, it's OK.
Just take your life easy
And stop all your hurrying -
Be happy my way.
When tension starts mounting
And you've lost count
Of the pennies you've missed,
Just try hard and see why they're not worrying me,
They're last on my list.
Nothing's easy.
Nothing is easy, you'll find
That the squeeze won't turn out so bad.
Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea,
There's good times to be had.
So if you're alone, and you're down to the bone,
Just give us a play.
You'll smile in a while and discover that I'll
Get you happy my way.
Nothing's easy.
Steve M. 02-18-2005, 10:32 PM Fat Man - Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
Don't want to be a fat man,
People would think that I was just food fun.
Would rather be a thin man, and
I am so glad to go on being one.
Too much to carry around with you.
No chance of finding a woman who
Will love you in the morning and all the night time too.
Don't want to be a fat man,
Have not the patience to ignore all that.
Hate to admit to myself,
Half of my problems came from being fat.
Won't waste my time feeling sorry for him.
I've seen the other side to being thin -
Roll us both down a mountain and I'm sure the fat man would win.
Steve M. 02-25-2005, 12:35 PM We Used To Know - Jethro Tull
Whenever I get to feel this way,
Try to find new words to say,
I think about the bad old days
We used to know.
Nights of winter turn me cold,
Fears of dying, getting old,
We ran the race, the race was won
By running slowly.
Could be soon, we'll cease to sound,
Slowly upstairs, faster down,
Then to revisit stony grounds
We used to know.
Remembering mornings, shillings spent,
Made no sense to leave the bed.
The bad old days, they came and went,
Giving way to fruitful years.
Saving up the birds in hand,
While in the bush the others land.
Take what we can before the man
Says it's time to go.
Each to his own way, I'll go mine,
Best of luck in what you'll find.
But for your own sake, remember times
We used to know.
dandelion wine 02-26-2005, 09:38 PM "Slave to Love" - Bryan Ferry
Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
There's no escape
To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
No I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Belair 02-28-2005, 06:09 AM Shiver
(Maroon 5)
You build me up
You knock me down
Provoke a smile
And make me frown
You are the queen of runaround
You know it's true
You chew me up
And spit me out
Enjoy the taste
I leave in your mouth
You look at me
I look at you
Neither of us know what to do
There may not
Be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in
I shiver when I hear your name
Think about you but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied 'till I'm under your skin
Immobilized by the thought of you
Paralyzed by the sight of you
Hypnotized by the words you say
Not true but I believe 'em anyway
So come to bed It's getting late
There's no more time for us to waste
Remember how my body tastes
You feel your heart begin to race
Belair 02-28-2005, 06:10 AM Tangled
(Maroon 5)
I'm full of regret
For all things that I've done and said
And I don't know if it'll ever be ok to show
My face 'round here
Sometimes I wonder if I disappear
Would you ever turn your head and look
See if I'm gone
Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say to you
That you wanna hear
That you wanna know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
Your just innocent
A helpless victim of a spider's web
And I'm an insect
Goin after anything that I can get
So you better turn your head and run
And don't look back
Cause I fear
There is nothing left to say
To you
That you wanna hear
That you wanna know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful
And I've done you so wrong
Treated you bad
Strung you along
Oh shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:42 AM Tell It To My Heart
(Taylor Dayne)
I feel the night explode when we're together.
Emotion overload in the heat of pleasure.
Take me I'm yours into your arms.
Never let me go.
Tonight I really need to know.
Tell it to my heart.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
The passion's so complete. It's neverending.
As long as I receive, the message you're sending.
Body to body, soul to soul
Always feel you near.
So say the words I long to hear.
Tell it to my heart.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
Love, love on the run, breaking us down,
Though we keep holding one.
I don't want to lose, no I can't let you go.
Tell it to my heart.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
Tell it to my heart. Tell me from the start. Tell it to my heart.
Tell it to my heart. Tell me from the start. Tell it to my heart.
Never make it stop. Oh, take it to the heart.
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:44 AM Sweet Mistakes
(Ellis Paul)
Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you.
And if you love the girl man, light up a torch
Blaze a trail to her front porch
Kiss her til your lips are scorched
Til the rain comes down on you
Bless your sweet mistakes,
That crumble you down to your knees.
That brought you to this place
Changing you by degrees...
When change was just what you needed...
What you needed...
So if you live your life in a three piece suit,
In a cocktail dress, or combat boots
You pick your path and you walk your truth
And the world will come round to you.
It's a long strange ride, I can't tell you why
But there's a place in your pocket where peace can abide
You pull it out, it's a compass, a guide
And it will put a little soul on you.
And in this wild blue world
There is a soul weavin' fine feelin' girl
But you've got to walk in paradise to find a pearl
If you only believe,
You'll get what you need... what you needed...
Conquer your fear and you'll master the game,
Life is always and never the same.
Use a little faith to light the flame ,
And I know you'll connect to you.
Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you.
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:47 AM Open Your Heart
(Madonna)
I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you’d see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I’ve had to work much harder than this
For something I want don’t try to resist me
Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin’
I’ll give you love if you, you turn the key
I think that you’re afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
I follow you around but you can’t see
You’re too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, I’ve got something to say
Don’t try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you’ve got to
Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, I’ll make you love me
It’s not that hard, if you just turn the key
Don’t try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you’ve got to
Open your heart with the key
Open your heart, I’ll make you love me
It’s not that hard, if you just turn the key
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:49 AM Cruel Summer
(Bananarama)
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but
The air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
(Oh what do they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand
It's a cruel,(cruel)
cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel
(It's a cruel)
cruel summer
Now you're gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
It's a cruel,(cruel)
cruel summer
(Leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel
(It's a cruel)
cruel summer
Now you're gone
Your not the only one

Belair 03-04-2005, 06:51 AM Breathe Again
(Toni Braxton)
If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
And I can’t stop thinkin’ about
About the way things used to be
And I can’t stop thinkin’ about
About the love that you make to me
And I can’t get you outta my head
How in the world will I begin
To let you walk right out my life
And blow my heart away
And I can’t stop carin’ about
About the apple of my eye
And I can’t stop doin’ without
Without the center of my life
And I can’t get you outta my head
And I know I can’t pretend
That I won’t die if you decide
You won’t see me again
If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
And I can’t stop thinkin’ about
About the way my life would be
No I can’t stop thinkin’ about
How could your love be leavin’ me
And I can’t get you outta my mind
God knows how hard I tried
And if you walk right out my life
God knows I’d surely die
And I can’t stop doin’ without
Without the rythm of my heart
No I can’t stop doin’ without
For I would surely fall apart
And I can’t get you outta my mind
Cause I know I can’t deny it
And I would die if you decide
You won’t see me again
If I never feel you in my arms again
If I never feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear I love you now and then
Will I never make love to you once again
Please understand if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
That I shall never breathe again
Breathe again
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:52 AM Didn't We Almost Have It All
(Whitney Houston)
Remember when we held on in the rain
The night we almost lost it
Once again we can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again
Didn't we have the beat of times
When love was young and new?
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you?
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:53 AM I Learned From The Best
(Whitney Houston)
Did you really think that
I would really take you back
Let you back in my heart one more time
Ohh. No. No.
Did you think that I’d still care
That there’d be more feeling there
Did you think you could walk back in my life.
So you found you miss the love you threw away.
Baby but you found it out too late. Too Late.
And so now you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two.
Baby I learned the way to break a heart
I learned from the best.
I learned from you.
Oh baby now.
I learned from you
I remember cold nights
Tears I though would never dry
How you shattered my world
With your goodbye.Your goodbye baby
Would’ve sold my soul then.
Just to have you back again
Now you’re the last thing on my mind.
Now you say your sorry and
You’ve changed your ways
Sorry but you changed you ways too late.
So when all you’ve got are sleepless nights
When those tears are clouding up your eyes
Just remember it was you who said goodbye
Who said goodbye.
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:55 AM I'm Your Baby Tonight
(Whitney Houston)
From the moment I saw you
I went outta my mind
Though I never believed in, love at first sight
But you got a magic
That I just can't explain
Well you got a, you got a way that you make me feel
I can do, I can do anything for you baby
I'll be down for you baby
Lay all my cards out tonight
Just call on me baby
I'll be there in a hurry
It's your move, so baby
Baby decide!
Whatever you want from me
I'm givin' you everything
I'm your baby tonight
You've given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I'm your baby tonight
From the second you touched me
I was ready to die
I've never been fatal, you're my first time
I feel like an angel, who just started to fly
Well you got a, you got a way that you make me
Feel I can, feel I can, do anything for you baby
I will fly for you baby, hold on and enjoy the ride
I'm not in no hurry, We can fly all night baby
It's your move, now baby
Baby let's fly!
Whatever I do boy
It's all about you baby
And ain't the truth boy
I'm helplessly in love with you
What else can I do boy
But be there for you baby
You got a, you got a way that you make a me
Feel I can, feel I can do any, do anything
Looks like I'm fatal, It's all on the table
And baby you hold the cards, You got the magic
And I've got to have it, I don't want the pieces
I want every single part, I'll be your angel
I'm ready and able, Whatever you want is fine
Whenever you're ready, just call on your lady
And I'll be your baby tonight
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:56 AM Fine
(Whitney Houston)
It's Fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine
It's alright
I had a dream last night
That the world stopped turning
But your madness, it kept on
Guess I wasn't too bright
And I really wasn't learning
Should have seen it all along
All those sweet (sweet), sweet kisses (yeah)
And those sweet (sweet) red roses (yeah)
They convinced me it was you
I made you (you) exclusive (yeah)
Now it's so (now it's conclusive that) conclusive
That you wasn't doin' it too
If ya told me from the start that you played around, I woulda been fine
Then I woulda played too and I guess I woulda had a good time
If ya told me from the start that you played around, I woulda been fine
Then I woulda played too and I guess I woulda had a good time
Something didn't feel right
And I wish I knew it
I just could not see your games
I got respect for you
And you put me through it
Why would you bring me so much pain
I would stick up for you
'Cause I did (I did adore you) adore you
While my dogs would chew you out
Tried to be so nice
On those lonely (on those lonely, lonely, lonely nights) nights
But I should have figured you out
Belair 03-04-2005, 06:57 AM Ode To My Family
(The Cranberries)
Understand the things I say
Don?t turn away from me
Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn?t disagree
D?you see me, d?you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D?you notice, d?you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care
Unhappiness, where?s when I was young
And we didn?t give a damn
?cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Ol he liked me, does anyone care
Understand what I?ve become
It wasn?t my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
?cause I liked it, I liked it
When I was out there
D?you know this, d?you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn?t give a damn
?cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Ol he liked me, does anyone care
Does anyone care
Steve M. 03-07-2005, 01:02 PM Reasons For Waiting - Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
What a sight from my eyes,
To see you in sleep.
Could it stop the sun rise,
Hearing you weep?
You're not seen, you're not heard,
But I stand by my word.
Came a thousand miles
Just to catch you while you're smiling.
What a day for laughter
And walking at night.
Me following after
Your hand holding tight
And the memory stays clear
With a song you will hear.
If I can but make
The words awake the feeling.
What a reason for waiting
And dreaming of dreams,
So here's hoping you've faith in
Impossible schemes
That are born in the sigh
Of the wind blowing by,
While the dimming light
Brings the end to a night of loving.
Steve M. 03-09-2005, 01:03 PM Strange Band - Family
(Whitney / Chapman / Williamson)
Dog and his master took out together,
Heading due west away from the east.
Walking the road, leading a blind man,
Staff in his hand, and a dog that can see,
Strange looking band were we.
Man and his hudcaps, flashing the highway,
Shielding his eyes from the heat of the sun.
A wife, name of Maisy, who's driving him crazy,
Convertible mind closed permanently,
Strange looking band were we.
:guitar:
Dog and his master took out together,
Shielding their eyes away from the sun.
A wife, name of Maisy, who's driving him crazy,
Convertible mind closed permanently.
Strange looking band were we.
Sun on the hills hold a negative figure,
Someone sits alone 'neath the shade of a tree.
But way down the line, a car's lost its shine,
While Maisy still whines about the heat and the fleas -
Strange looking band were we!

Steve M. 03-09-2005, 11:55 PM Cold Turkey - the Plastic Ono Band
(John Lennon)
Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky.
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
Body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone.
My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone,
Free me again.
Oh, I'll be a good boy
Please make me well.
I promise you anything -
Get me out of this hell.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
Steve M. 03-13-2005, 09:22 PM For a Thousand Mothers - Jethro Tull
(Ian Anderson)
Did you hear mother
Saying I'm wrong when I know I'm right?
Did you hear father
Calling my name into the night
Saying I'll never be what I am now,
Telling me I'll never find what I've already found?
It was they were wrong,
And for them here's a song.
Did you hear baby
Come back and tell you the things he'd seen?
Did it surprise you
To be picked up at eight in a limosuine,
Doing things he's accutomed to do
Which had one time had seen like dream - now it's true -
And unknowing you'd made it all happen this way?
:guitar:
Did you hear mother
Saying I'm wrong, when I know I'm right?
Did you hear father
Calling my name into the night
Saying I'll never be what I am now,
Telling me I'll never find what I've already found?
It was they who were wrong,
And for them here's a song.
