MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER

Hey Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks

And tonight can you get us a ride

Gotta make it through the tunnel

Got a meeting with a man on the other side

Hey Eddie, this guy, he's the real thing

So if you want to come along

You gotta promise you won't say anything

'Cause this guy don't dance

And the word's been passed this is our last chance

We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie

'Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line

And if we blow this one

They ain't gonna be looking for just me this time

And all we gotta do is hold up our end

Here stuff this in your pocket

It'll look like you're carrying a friend

And remember, just don't smile

Change your shirt, 'cause tonight we got style

Well Cherry says she's gonna walk

'Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it

But Eddie, man, she don't understand

That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket

And tonight's gonna be everything that I said

And when I walk through that door

I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed

She'll see this time I wasn't just talking

Then I'm gonna go out walking

Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride?

Fill My Little World - The Feeling



I had a dream we went away

Left this city for a day

You took me southwards on a plane

And showed me Spain or somewhere

But in reality you’re not so keen to show me anything

And I thought you liked me

Hey, show some love, you aint so tough

Come fill my little world right up, right up

Someday you’re going to realise

(I want you)

To fill my little world right up, right up, right up

Yeah, so what you gonna do

With all this stuff piling up, filling up and taking up

You misunderstand me

All I wanted was some evidence

That you really like me

(You really like me)

Hey, show some love, you aint so tough

Come fill my little world right up, right up

Someday you’re going to realise

(I want you)

To fill my little world right up, right up, right up

Maybe it’s all too much

How come we're so messed up

Maybe I’m not enough

Maybe you’re just too much

Hey, show some love, you aint so tough

Come fill my little world right up

Ohh

Ohh

Yeah

Hey, show some love, you aint so tough

Come fill my little world right up, right up

Someday you’re going to realise

(I want you)

To fill my little world right up, right up

Hey, show some love, you aint so tough

Come fill my little world right up, right up

Someday you’re going to realise

That I’m passing you by

So fill your little world right up, right up, right up

Ohh

Come on and show me you aint so tough


Oh I've heard that but didn't know who it was by. Got my finger on the pulse aint I? :wah:

Cherokee Louise

by Joni Mitchell





Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel

In the Broadway bridge

We're crawling on our knees

We've got flashlights and batteries

We've got cold cuts from the fridge

Last year about this time

We used to climb up in the branches

Just to sway there in some breeze

Now the cops on the street

They want Cherokee Louise

People like to talk

Tongues are waggin' over fences

Waggin' over phones

All their doors are locked

God she can't even come to our house

But I know where she'll go

To the place where you can stand

And press your hands like it was bubblebath

In dust piled high as me

Down under the street

My friend

Poor Cherokee Louise

Ever since we turned thirteen

It's like a minefield

Walking to the door

Going out you get the third degree

And comin' in you get the third world war

Tuesday after school

We put our pennies on the rails

And when the train went by

We were jumpin' round like fools

Goin' "Look no heads or tails"

Goin' "Look my lucky prize"

She runs home to her foster dad

He opens up a zipper

And he yanks her to her knees

Oh please be here please

My friend

Poor Cherokee Louise

Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel

In the Broadway bridge

We're crawling on our knees

We've got Archie and Silver Screen

I know where she is

The place where you can stand

And press your hand like it was bubblebath

In dust piled high as me

Down under the street

My friend

Poor Cherokee Louise

Oh Cherokee Louise

[CheshireCat]

We sing the nightingale song alive

Streets never border further than my sight

We sing the nightingale song alive

We might be different but our hearts won't lie

and little ever changes if anything at all

but the song rings loudly through these halls

We sing the nightingale song alive

We might be different but our hearts won't lie

and little ever changes when you view it form the sky

and the damage we encounter the earth just passes by

and little ever changes if anything at all

we just remind ourselves how small we are:yh_neutra

Kiss the boy and make him feel this way. Quote, "well this is me." unquote

you have been so ugly your entire life, so why change now?

(chorus)

Is this how you want to go down? right before my eyes, you are the saddest sight i know. You're quiet, you never make a sound but here inside my mind. You are the loudest one I know.

Quote, "We never talk." unquote and that's when i don't answer. Don't you dare ask why, beacuse you don't want to know. Quote, "Well woe is me." unquote. How different I've become and no one understands, my dear, no one really cares.

I tend to get stuck on songs. They are my fave till I've played them enough to be sick of them. The following is my latest....Rockstar by Nickelback



I'm through with standing in line

To clubs we'll never get in

It's like the bottom of the ninth

And I'm never gonna win

This life hasn't turned out

Quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house

On an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough

For ten plus me

(So what you need?)

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

Gonna join the mile high club

At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there, done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher and

James Dean is fine for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[Chorus:]

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

Sign a couple autographs

So I can eat my meals for free

(I'll have the quesadilla, uh huh)

I think I'm gonna dress my ass

With the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to

Blow my money for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[Chorus]

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and today's who's who

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs

That offend the censors

Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser

I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs

Lip sync em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

[Chorus]

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and today's who's who

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

LETTER TO BRITANNIA FROM THE UNION JACK

by Ian Hunter

Poor Britannia - drowning in your waves

With the body of the unknown soldier and the best of the brave

I have known you ever since I was a child

How come you dont salute me - now - when I smile

You was always so young and on all o' that money

How come new mourners pass you by and think its so funny

Id be there with you but Im chained unto this stake

For I am loyalty but my mast I cannot forsake

I looked down on a bunch of amusements, I looked down walls

Ive looked on hangings and parades and city halls

And Ive seen love in so many living rooms

And Ive seen rich men slowly die inside their tombs

I know we're just two charms but its heavy on my mind

Have faith in me I said, now, look at time

I know you're just a victim of your history but

Have faith in me, I said and you would be free....

You pull me up and you pull me down

And when the Queen's in residence I hang around

I dont wave madly cos the climates civilised

Just flutter sadly cos I'm old and Im wise

And you-you been up, and you - you been down

You been through many things I know you been around

I have fought armies for you in the conflicts of the past

Britannia, I implore you, do not lower me by half.

(The Grateful Dead)



Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don’t care,

Saw my baby down by the river, knew she’d have to come up soon for air.



Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you’ll abide

We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.



She’s got everything delightful, she’s got everything I need,

Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed



She comes skimmin’ through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew,

She don’t come and I don’t follow, waits backstage while I sing to you.



Well, she can dance a cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive.

She’s a summer love for spring, fall and winter. she can make happy any man alive.



Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing

I’ll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me.



She’s got everything delightful, she’s got everything I need,

A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes

Indeed.



Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying, when the moon is half way down,

Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander

’round.



Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes

Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely,

Ride our singin’, I’ll walk you in the morning sunshine

Sunshine, daydream. sunshine, daydream. walking in the sunshine.

Ah, the Dead!

Grateful Dead Ripple lyrics"



If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,

Would you hear my voice come thru the music,

Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,

Perhaps they're better left unsung.

I don't know, don't really care

Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,

When there is no pebble tossed,

Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,

If your cup is full may it be again,

Let it be known there is a fountain,

That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,

Between the dawn and the dark of night,

And if you go no one may follow,

That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,

When there is no pebble tossed,

Nor wind to blow.

if you choose to lead, must follow

But if you fall you fall alone,

If you should stand then who's to guide you?

If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da

La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da.

I LOVE this song! I named my dog Ripple. It was going to be Jack Straw, but he sang along to Ripple, so that's what i named him!





RIP Jerry Bear! We miss you!

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

There was something so pleasant about that place

Even your emotions had an echo and so much space

And when you're out there without care

Yeah I was out of touch

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

I just knew too much

Does that make me Crazy

Does that make me Crazy

Does that make me Crazy

Possibly

And I hope that you are having the time of your life

But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now

who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you

think you are, ha ha ha bless your soul

you really think you're in control

I think you're Crazy

I think you're Crazy

I think you're Crazy

Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb

All I remember is thinking I want to be like them.

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little

It looked like fun

And there's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done

But Maybe I'm Crazy

Maybe you're Crazy

Maybe we're Crazy

Probably

Butterflies
Toad

(we saw something

gigantic

floating on the water)

in time i will collect the world

the eggs and wings of butterflies i love the wings

of butterflies



a man drove up in an ugly car

and he flashed his lights at everything he saw

and his eyes were red

and his stereo was so loud you couldn't hear the engine's roar

and he yelled at everybody in the road

and did not notice all the moths he'd massacred

spread across the open road



(weird when you get close

to something that BIG

you can't see anything at all...)



in time i will

collect the world

the eggs and wings of Butterflies

you who fall on calvary

had you wings of i give my children

butterflies



a moth had settled upon his arm and he looked at it with a lazy eye

and he lifted up a gigantic hand

and he spread his fingers towards the sky

and he nudged the moth to make it fly away

but moths are fragile things

and he just wiped its ody down across his shoulder blade



he's a wonder, he's a little black-wing boy

oh my daughters

he'll fill you with joy



in time i will

collect the world

the hearts and limbs of

butterflies

you who soar o'er calvary

had you wings of butterflies

oh father, i offer butterflies

First Christmas Away From Home

Stan Rogers) This day a year ago he was rolling in the snow

With a younger brother in his father's yard

Christmas break, a time for touching home

The heart of all he's known, leaving was so hard

Now three thousand miles away he's working Christmas Day

Earning double time for the minding of the store

He always said he'd make it on his own

He's spending Christmas Eve alone

First Christmas away from home



She's standing by the railway station, panhandling for change

One more dollar buys a decent room and a meal

Looks like the Sally Ann place after all

The vast and dreaming hall that echoes like a tomb

But it's warm and clean and free, there are worse places to be

And at least it means no beating from her dad

And if she cries because it's Christmas Day

She hopes it doesn't show

First Christmas away from home



In the hall they've got the biggest tree but it looks so small and bare

Not like it was meant to be

And the angel on the top it's not the same old silver star

You once made for your own

First Christmas away from home



In the morning there are prayers, then there's tea and crafts downstairs

Then another meal up in his little room

Hoping that the boys will think to call

Before the day is done, well it's best they do it soon

When the old girl passed away he fell apart more every day

Each had always kept the other pretty well

But the boys agreed the nursing home was best

'Cause he couldn't live alone

First Christmas away from home



In the common room they've got the biggest tree, it's huge and lifeless

Not like it was meant to be

The Santa Claus on top it's not the same old silver star

You once made for your own

First Christmas away from home

Throw It All Away lyrics


Music by Glen Phillips and Toad. Lyrics by Glen Phillips.



take your cautionary tales

take your incremental gain

and all the sychophantic games

and throw 'em all away



burn your tv in your yard

and gather 'round it with your friends

and warm your hands upon the fire

and start again



take the story you've been told

the lies that justify the pain

the guilt the weighs upon your soul

and throw 'em all away



tear up the calendar you've bought

and throw the pieces to the sky

confetti falling down like rain

like a parade to usher in your life

take the dreams that should have died

the ones that kept you lying awake

when you should've been all right

and throw 'em all away



with the time i waste on the life i never had

i could've turned myself into a better man



'cause there ain't nothing you can buy

and there is nothing you can save

to fill the whole inside your heart

so throw it all away

won't fill the whole inside your heart



help me empty out this house

the wool i've gathered all these days

and thought i couldn't do without

and throw it all away

What if I wanted to break

Laugh it all off in your face

What would you do?

What if I fell to the floor

Couldn't take all this anymore

What would you do, do, do?

Kill

Break me down

Bury me, bury me

I am finished with you

What if I wanted to fight

Beg for the rest of my life

What would you do?

You say you wanted more

What are you waiting for

I'm not running from you

Kill

Break me down

Bury me, bury me

I am finished with you

Look in my eyes

You're killing me, killing me

All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else

But nothing seemed to change

I know now, this is who I really am inside

Falling from myself

Falling for a chance

I know now, this is who I really am

Kill

Break me down

Bury me, bury me

I am finished with you, you, you

Look in my eyes

Come, break me down

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,

I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.

This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.

My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.



This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,

My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.

To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,

I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.



My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,

And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.

For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother

Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.



Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,

And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.

My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,

Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.



Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,

And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,

For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw

As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!



I'm my own grandpa.

I'm my own grandpa.

It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,

Oh, I'm my own grandpa.


Good going Thats the one. By the way did you every hear the old song "Darktown Poker Club". I loved that one. Really just a talking record. But now it would be so politically incorrect.

Here it is. I found it

Bill Jackson was a poor old dub,

Who joined the Darktown Poker Club

But cursed the day he told them he would join.

His money used to go like it had wings

If he held Queens, someone had Kings

And each night he would contribute all his coins.

He said I'm going to play em tight tonight

No bobtail flush is gonna make me bite

When I get's in, my hands going to be a peach.

So he played em tight, but lost his pile

And Bill got peevish after a while

So he rose, got up, and made this speech.



He said - Now you all see this brand new razor

I've had it sharpened just today

And I'm comin''- in with my own rules

That you must follow as you play.

Now keep them boney hands on the table when you deal'em please

And don't be slipp'en any aces down there in between your knees.

And don't make any of them funny signs like your trying to tip off your hand

Just talk in American, boy American - so's I can understand.

And don't be dealing off the bottom, cause Oh! that's rough

Just take Five, Five - then stop, that's enough.

Now when you bet, put up them chips, cause I don't like it when you shy.

If you get busted - go get some, cause I won't be here by & by.

Pass them cards for me to shuffle every time before you deal

Then if anything wrong, I must see.

Cause you ain't going to play this game according to Mr. Hoyle,

You're going to play this here game according to me.

SNOW PATROL LYRICS

"Chasing Cars"

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

And you say you belong to me

And ease my mind

Imagine how the world could be

So very fine

So happy together

I can see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life

When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life

Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

Where did it go that yester glow

When we could feel

The wheel of life turn our way

Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

I had a dream so did you life

Was warm and love was true

Two kids who followed all the rules

Yester folls and now

Now it seems those yester dreams

Were just a cruel

And foolish game we used to play

Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

When I recall what we had

I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but

The memory of yester love and now

Now it seems those yester dreams

Were just a cruel

And foolish game we had to play

Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

Sing with me

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

When youre weary, feeling small,

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;

Im on your side. when times get rough

And friends just cant be found,

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,

When youre on the street,

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you.

Ill take your part.

When darkness comes

And pains is all around,

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,

Sail on by.

Your time has come to shine.

All your dreams are on their way.

See how they shine.

If you need a friend

Im sailing right behind.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind.

Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

That old dog has chained you up alright

Give you everything you need

To live inside a twisted cage

Sleep beside an empty rage

I had a dream I was your hero

Damn, I wish I was your lover

I'll rock you till the daylight comes

Make sure you are smiling and warm

I am everything

Tonight I'll be your mother I will

And I'll do such things to ease your pain

Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed,

This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue

I give you something sweet each time you

Come inside my jungle book

What is it just too good

Don't say you'll stay

'Cause then you go away

Chorus

Shucks, for me there is no other

You're the only shoe that fits

I can't imagine I'll grow out of it

Damn I wish I was your lover

If I was your girl believe me

I'd turn on the Rolling Stones

We could groove along and feel much better

I could do it forever and ever

Give me an hour to kiss you

Walk through heaven's door, I'm sure

We don't need no doctor to feel much better

Let me in

Forever and ever and ever and ever...

I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind

And I lay by the ocean making love to her

with visions clear

Walked for days with no one near

And I return as chained and bound to you

[jaggedlittlegirl]

These are some of my favorite lyrics ever, love them!

From "Chicago is so two years ago" by Fall Out Boy

"you want apologies

girl, you might hold your breath

until your breathing stops forever, forever

the only thing you'll ever get

is this curse on your lips:

i hope they taste of me forever "

[spot]

I was alone. My heart was cold, it was a stone.

My soul was lonely like a stone, there was no moss,

And when I danced I danced alone,

but then I did not dance because I was alone,

so I did not dance.

I shuffled through life invisible

to all the happy couples that would mock me with their merry laughter,

"Ha ha ha."

The only sound I heard in my lonely silent world

was the rusty hammer of my heart, nailing up the hatred in my soul.

But then you came

And my life was turned upside down.

You showed me the beauty of the things that I had never seen,

Like a snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer

Or the painting of a dog that wears a dearstalker and smokes a pipe

That made you laugh so heartily

That I had previously thought was rubbish.

Or the duck that lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winter,

But the intoxicating power of our love transforms this simple act

Into an anthropomorphic drama

Where Mr. Duck's embarrassed and the other ducks are laughing...

"Quack quack quack quack quack".

And then you left!

And I have died a thousand deaths and I will die a thousand more!

I thought you were an angel, you turned out to be a whore!

And everything has turned to dust, everything is infected with a plague,

When you had to sleep with Craig.

"Oh he's so sensitive, he's got a tattoo..."

Yeah? Carving your name with a compass in my forehead

Was not enough for you?

The snowflake on the eyelash of the deer

Has turned to pus that oozes from an open wound.

The deer, now blinded, stumbles into a ravine.

The duck lies shredded in a pancake

Soaking in the Hoisin of your lies.

The dog has moved from the pipe to sixty cigarettes a day

And coughs away his life in the cold neon research lab of your betrayal...

Of your BETRAYAL!









Thank you Bill Bailey, that's the finest love song ever written.

[spot]

This is a song about how hard it it to learn lessons. It's extremely miserable.



No Dice (Clive James, Pete Atkin)



I tried hard to be useful, but no dice

With no spit left I couldn't soften leather

With these old hands I couldn't even sew

So yesterday they left me on the ice

I could barely lift my head to watch them go

The sky was white, my eyes grew full of snow

What thing reached me first, bears or the weather

I just don't know

Yesterday was oh so long ago -- so very long ago

I saw across our path through the lagoon

Thick shrubberies of hail collide and quarrel

Sudden trees of shellburst hump and blow

Our LVT turned through the reef too soon

The front went down, we all got set to go

But the whole routine was just too bloody slow

What kind of splinters hit me, steel or coral

I just don't know

Yesterday was oh so long ago -- so very long ago

We hit the secret trails towards thin air

Aware we'd never live to tell the story

And at the last deep lake before the snow

We rigged the slings, chipped out the water-stair

Swung out the holy gold and let it go

It sank so far it didn't even glow

And if the priest died too to share our glory

I just don't know

Yesterday was oh so long ago -- so very long ago

Yesterday we finished with the ditch

We stacked our spades and knelt in groups of seven

Our hands were wired by an NCO

With a fluent-from-long-practice loop and hitch

No dice -- there was nothing left to throw

A bump against your neck and down you go

And if I kept my peace or cried to heaven

I just don't know

Yesterday was oh so long ago -- so very long ago

Yesterday from midnight until dawn

I lay remembering my lost endeavour

The love song that would capture how things flow

The one song that refuses to be born

For I have tried a thousand times or so

To link the ways men die with how they grow

But no dice, and if I'll do it ever

I just don't know

Yesterday was oh so long ago

I'm yours. Jason Mraz

Love this one.

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks

Now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out

I'll be giving it my bestest

And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment babay sing with me

We're just one big family

And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on over closer dear

And i will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

But my breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons

It's what we aim to do

Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours

Please don't, please don't, please don't

There's no need to complicate

Cause our time is short

This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

I miss her too:-4

My Favourite is Fly Like A Bird.

There was a howl that night

A howling like they never heard before

A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door

He said, "I love this child as much as any one that she ever bore,

But I thank the Lord we won't be having any more."

Then the baby heard the sweetest sound he'd ever heard

In tones so beautiful he hung on every word

She sang, "Hush, my love, granny's little dove is going to take to the sky."

It was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird.

Now the years have passed and memories come and go

He hears that voice that rocked him gently so

A calm will descend and there's peace at the end of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird.

Now the years have passed and memories come and go

He hears that voice that rocked him gently so

Well, the rain's gonna fall and the wind my blow in the darkest night

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird.

A calm will descend and there's peace at the end of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird

Grandmother screaming at the wall

We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies

We can't hear anything at all

Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration

But we know all her suicides are fake

Daddy only stares into the distance

There's only so much more that he can take

Many miles away

Something crawls from the slime

At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning

The factory belches filth into the sky

He walks unhindered through the picket lines today

He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like

cheap tarts in a red light street

But all he ever thinks to do is watch

And every single meeting with his so-called superior

Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away

Something crawls to the surface

Of a dark Scottish lake

Another working day has ended

Only the rush hour hell to face

Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes

Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance

He knows that something somewhere has to break

He sees the family home now looming in the headlights

The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache

Many miles away

There's a shadow on the door

Of a cottage on the shore

Of a dark Scottish lake

Many miles away, many miles away



Synchronicity II lyrics by, The Police


Love this one

[mikeinie]

I see faces and traces of home back in New York City

So you think Im a tough kid? Is that what you heard?

Well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood.

The call me the trail blazer-Rael-electric razor.

Im the pitcher in the chain gang, we dont believe in pain

cos were only as strong, as the weakesst link in the chain.

Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen,

I had to get it out of me, if you know what I mean, what I mean.

You say I must be crazy, cos KI dont care who I hit, who I hit.

But I know its me thats hitting out and Im not full of ****.

I dont care who I hurt, I dont care who I do wrong.

This is your mess Im stuck in, I really dont belong.

When I take out my bottle, filled up high with gasoline,

You can tell by the night fires where Rael has been, has been.

As I cuddled the porcupine

He said I had none to blame, but me.

Held my heart, deep in hair,

Time to shave, shave it off, it off.

No time for romantic escape,

When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!

Off we go.

Youre sitting in your comfort you dont believe Im real,

You cannot buy protection from the way that I feel.

Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash,

But it was mine in the first place, so Ill burn it to ash.

And Ive tasted all the strongest meats,

And laid them down in coloured sheets.

Who needs illusion of love and affection

When youre out walking the streets with your mainline connection? connection.

As I cuddle the porcupine

He said I had none to blame, but me.

Held my heart, deep in hair.

Time to shave, shave it off, it off.

No time for romantic escape,

When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!

Her response was favorable. I think she enjoyed the thought.

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All he asks from me is the food to give him strength

All he ever needs is love and that he knows hell get

So, I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes

I dont need no cold water to make me realize that

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

that one is nice Peter!

[mikeinie]

I woke up with a killer hangover

Hope it was worth all this pain (Id do it all over again)

By the time the party was over

Tequila was my claim to fame (I couldnt remember)

I was dancin with jake when I last saw my keys

That was my first mistake cause what happened to me (oh)

I looked down at my arm baby

And somethings lookin back at me and I cannot believe it

Oh my God I woke up with a snake tattoo

Oh my God and I think that my tongues pierced too

Oh my God oh my god

Its the sunday morning after and baby who the hell are you?

Ah who who who

I remember yellin hey dj

Jake the volume

I love this song (and then it all gets hazy)

And my cloths are sellin on ebay

And I dont know what Im gonna put on (where were my friends to save me)

I blacked out, I came too, and its all such a blur

Had a blast, I assume, but Im really not sure

Exactly where am I now baby

Wake up and tell me your name (excuse me) cause this is insane

Oh my God I woke up with a snake tattoo

Oh my God and I think that my tongues pierced too

Oh my God oh my god

Its the sunday morning after and baby who the hell are you?

Oh my God oh my god

Oh my God oh my god

My ? ? ? ? took over and took me on a fantasy ride (took me on a ride)

You can take me anywhere twice but the second time will be to apologize (hey

Baby)

Oh my God I woke up with a snake tattoo

Oh my God and I think that my tongues pierced too

Oh my God oh my god

Its the sunday morning after and baby who the hell are you?

Oh my God I woke up with a snake tattoo

Oh my God and I think that my tongues pierced too

Oh my God oh my god

Its the sunday morning after and baby who the hell are you?

Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say:

What good is my life

Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say:

What good is my life

Funny how I often seem, to think I'll find never another dream

In my life

Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me

And my life

This is my life

Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me

But that's the way that I was born to be

This is me

This is me

This is my life

And I don't give a damn for lost emotions

I've such a lot of love I've got to give

Let me live

Let me live

Sometime when I feel afraid, I think of what a mess I've made

Of my life

Crying over my mistakes, forgetting all the breaks I've had

In my life

I was put on earth to be, a part of this great world is me

And my life

Guess I'll just add up the score, and count the things I'm grateful for

In my life

This Is my life

Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me

But that's the way that I was born to be

This is me

This is me

This is my life

And I don't give a damn for lost emotions

I've such a lot of love I've got to give

Let me live

Let me live

This is my life..................................

[Oscar Namechange]

For my ex-husband





"Oh Father"

It's funny that way, you can get used

To the tears and the pain

What a child will believe

You never loved me

[Chorus:]

You can't hurt me now

I got away from you, I never thought I would

You can't make me cry, you once had the power

I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday

I lay down next to your boots and I prayed

For your anger to end

Oh Father I have sinned

[chorus]

Oh Father you never wanted to live that way

You never wanted to hurt me

Why am I running away

[repeat]

Maybe someday

When I look back I'll be able to say

You didn't mean to be cruel

Somebody hurt you too

[chorus]

[Oscar Namechange]

Our luck is running out of time

Youre not in love with me anymore

I wish that it would change, but it wont, if you dont

Our luck is running out of time

Youre not in love with me anymore

I wish that it would change, but it wont

cause you dont love me no more

You need so much but not from me

Turn your back in my hour of need

Somethings wrong but you pretend you dont see

I think I interupt your life

When you laugh it cuts me just like a knife

Im not your friend, Im just your little wife

(chorus)

They never laugh, not like before

She takes the keys, he breaks the door

She cannot stay here anymore

Hes not in love with her anymore

The bruises they will fade away

You hit so hard with the things you say

I will not stay to watch your hate as it grows

Youre not in love with someone else

You dont even love yourself

Still I wish youd ask me not to go

(chorus)

He takes a drink, she goes inside

He starts to scream, the vases fly

He wishes that she wouldnt cry

Hes not in love with her anymore

He makes demands, she draws the line

He starts the fight, she starts the lie

But what is truth when something dies

Hes not in love with her anymore

Youre not in love with someone else

You dont even love yourself

Still I wish youd ask me not to go

(chorus)

Shes had enough, she says the end

But shell come back, she knows it then

A chance to start it all again

Till death do us part

[Sunshine]

I can think of younger days when living for my life

Was everything a man could want to do

I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend a this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees

And misty memories of days gone by

We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

Tears In Heaven

by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?



I must be strong

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.



Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven?

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven?



I'll find my way

Through night and day,

'Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven.



Time can bring you down,

Time can bend your knees.

Time can break your heart,

Have you begging please, begging please.



Beyond the door,

There's peace I'm sure,

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in heaven.



Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?



I must be strong

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.
