Umm. Right. "lyrics to a song that has a deep meaning to you"? Here we go. They don't write them like this any more:Solomon: Song 7.

How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter!

Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands.

Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine.

Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies.

Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.

Your neck is like an ivory tower.

Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim.

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus.

Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.

Your hair is like royal tapestry; a king would be held captive by its tresses.

How beautiful you are and how pleasing, O love, with your delights!

Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit.

I said, "I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit."

May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine,

the fragrance of your breath like apples,

and your mouth like the best wine.

Matchbox Twenty - Hand me Down Listening to it right now actually.

Someday theyll find your small town world on a big town avenue

Gonna make you like the way they talk when theyre talking to you

Gonna make you break out of the shell cause they tell you to

Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth

Theyll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say

Theyre gonna break your heart, yeah

[chorus]

From what Ive seen

Youre just a one more hand me down

Cause no ones tried to give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down

I am with you now

Somebody ought to take you in

Try to make you love again

Try to make you like the way they feel

When theyre under your skin

Never once did think theyd lie when theyre holding you

You wonder why they havent called

When they said theyd call you

You start to wonder if youre ever gonna make it by

Youll start to think you were born blind

[chorus]

From what Ive seen

Youre just a one more hand me down

Cause no ones tried to give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down

I am with you now

Im here for the hard times

The straight to your heart times

Whenever it aint easy

You can stand up against me

And maybe rely on me

And cry on me, yeah

Oh no, no, no

Some day theyll open up your world

Shake it down on a drawing board

Do their best to change you

They still cant erase you

[chorus]

From what Ive seen

Youre just a one more hand me down

Cause no ones tried to give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down

I am with you now

Lay them down on me

Oh yeah

Youre just one more hand me down

And all those nots dont give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down...on me

In this proud land we grew up strong

We were wanted all along

I was taught to fight, taught to win

I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems

I am a man whose dreams have all deserted

Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose

Dont give up

cos you have friends

Dont give up

Youre not beaten yet

Dont give up

I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around

Never thought I could be affected

Thought that wed be the last to go

It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home

The place that I was born, on the lakeside

As daylight broke, I saw the earth

The trees had burned down to the ground

Dont give up

You still have us

Dont give up

We dont need much of anything

Dont give up

cause somewhere theres a place

Where we belong

Rest your head

You worry too much

Its going to be alright

When times get rough

You can fall back on us

Dont give up

Please dont give up

got to walk out of here

I cant take anymore

Going to stand on that bridge

Keep my eyes down below

Whatever may come

And whatever may go

That rivers flowing

That rivers flowing

Moved on to another town

Tried hard to settle down

For every job, so many men

So many men no-one needs

Dont give up

cause you have friends

Dont give up

Youre not the only one

Dont give up

No reason to be ashamed

Dont give up

You still have us

Dont give up now

Were proud of who you are

Dont give up

You know its never been easy

Dont give up

cause I believe theres the a place

Theres a place where we belong

The distant echo -

Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains

To take them home to

The ones that they love and who love them forever

The glazed, dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts

Cold and uninviting, partially naked

Except for toffee wrapers and this mornings paper

Mr. jones got run down

Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow

Madmen on the rampage

And Im down in the tube station at midnight

I fumble for change - and pull out the queen

Smiling, beguiling

I put in the money and pull out a plum

Behind me

Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices

Hating, waiting

Hey boy they shout - have you got any money?

And I said - Ive a little money and a take away curry,

Im on my way home to my wife.

Shell be lining up the cutlery,

You know shes expecting me

Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork

And Im down in the tube station at midnight

I first felt a fist, and then a kick

I could now smell their breath

They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs

And too many right wing meetings

My life swam around me

It took a look and drowned me in its own existence

The smell of brown leather

It blended in with the weather

It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth

It blocked all my senses

Couldnt see, hear, speak any longer

And Im down in the tube station at midnight

I said I was down in the tube station at midnight

The last thing that I saw

As I lay there on the floor

Was jesus saves painted by an atheist nutter

And a british rail poster read have an awayday - a cheap holiday -

Do it today!

I glanced back on my life

And thought about my wife

cause they took the keys - and shell think its me

And Im down in the tube station at midnight

The wine will be flat and the currys gone cold

Im down in the tube station at midnight

Dont want to go down in a tube station at midnight

I wonder whether anyone knows this, or what they make of it?We are a proud land, we stand for freedom

We’ve got the franchise on how to lead them

We’ve got the history and books to prove it

Give us a mountain and we will move it

We rule the waves and the seven seas

We bring the mighty to their knees

We offer hope and inspiration

A fine example to lesser nations

We are Britannia, the Jewel in the crown

We brought a system to the masses

Divide the nation into classes

It’s in our breeding and on our faces

At least we’re all born knowing our places

We stay within our social borders

We only take what our class affords us

It doesn’t matter if it’s not even

This is the nature of the demon

We are Britannia, the Jewel in the crown

We are Britannia, We crown an empire

We came and conquered, we tore their borders down

We need no conscience, God is on our side

We are Britannia, the Jewel in the crown

We are your friendly liberators

We'll free your countries from your dictators

For a small slice of your oil wells

We'll send our boys in with their gunshells

We are a refuge for the needy

always caring, never greedy

Whatever gesture could be finer?

We've given Hong Kong back to China

We are Britannia, the jewel in the crown

We are Britannia, We crown an empire

We came and conquered, we tore their borders down

We need no conscience, God is on our side

We are Britannia, the Jewel in the crown

Satire was always a dangerous concept.

Here you are Nomie, something slightly more direct:Noises on the radio, megaphones on cars

Sermons from the Street of Shame, know-it-alls in bars

Posters in suburbia, experts on TV

Don't let them disturb-i-ya they're just the powers that be.

Hey ho! Don't worry, nobody can win. No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.

Oh great, great slumbering nation, awake! Set yourself free

Oh smell the comforting bacon, taste the bromide tea

And give a little chirrup as I ladle on the syrup, promises are cheap

Let me bear your crosses, make me Boss of Bosses, then you go back to sleep.

Hey ho! Don't worry, nobody can win. No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.

See them in the public eye oozing oily charm

Hear them all personify down on Animal Farm

Dog eat dog, not kock and bull, isms are the game

Ism this and ism that, ism it a shame?

Hey ho! Don't worry, nobody can win. No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.

Amos Lee - Night Train

I've been working on a night train

Drinking coffee, taking cocaine

I'm out here on a night train

Trying to get us safely home

Well in a little country station

Somewhere out in the midwest

I see the people out there waiting

Heart beating in my chest

And I'm thinking about a woman

Who I would put no one above

I'm not looking to replace her

Just need someone to love

Well I'm out here on my night train

Drinking coffee, taking cocaine

I'm out here on a night train

Trying to get us safely home

And I'm living in the city

Where the noise, it never stops

How much pounding on the pavement

Whizzes from traffic cops

Nobody looks you in the eye here

Walking around with clinched fists

I've been searching for a simple place

Don't know if it exists

There's a sunrise out there calling my name

I can see her moving, I can see her moving

Well at a certain time of night, now

I'll become one with the wind

Where there isn't a beginning

And there is no end

Oh when everything is flowing

Everything is on time

And I know that we're all going

To the end of the line

Well I'm out here on my night train

Drinking coffee, taking cocaine

I'm out here on a night train

Trying to get us safely home

Well I'm out here on my night train

Drinking coffee, taking cocaine

I'm out here on a night train

Trying to get us safely home

Trying to get us safely home

Trying to get us safely home

My Moving Song :wah:

New York New York - Frank Sinatra

Start spreading the news

I'm leaving today

I want to be a part of it, New York, New York

These vagabond shoes

Are longing to stray

And make a brand new start of it

New York, New York

I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps

To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap

These little town blues

Are melting away

I'll make a brand new start of it

In old New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you, New York, New York.

I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps

To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap

These little town blues

Are melting away

I'll make a brand new start of it

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you, New York, New York.

Smashing Pumpkins - Beautiful This is one an old friend (pay attention to the stories) has on her play list.

Beautiful, youre beautiful, as beautiful as the sun

Wonderful, youre wonderful, as wonderful as they come

And I cant help but feel attached

To the feelings I cant even match

With my face pressed up to the glass, wanting you

Beautiful, youre beautiful, as beautiful as the sky

Wonderful, its wonderful, to know that youre just like i

And Im sure you know me well, as Im sure you dont

But you just cant tell

Wholl you love and who you wont

And I love you, as you love me

So let the clouds roll by your face

Well let the world spin on to another place

Well climb the tallest tree above it all

To look down on you and me and them

And Im sure you know me well, as Im sure you dont

But you just cant tell, who youll love and who you wont

Dont let your life wrap up around you

Dont forget to call, whenever

Ill be here just waiting for you

Ill be under your stars forever

Neither here nor there just right beside you

Ill be under the stairs forever

Neither here nor there just right beside you

"Arms Of A Woman"

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.

Although now,

most of my days i spend alone.

A thousand miles,

from the place i was born.

But when she wakes me,

she takes me back home.

Now, most days,

i spend like a child.

Who's afraid of ghosts in my mind.

I know, there aint nothing out there.

I'm still afraid to turn on the lights.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.

Although now,

most of my days a i spend alone.

A thousand miles,

the place i was born.

When she wakes me,

she takes me back home.

A thousand miles,

the place i was born.

When she wakes me,

she takes me back home.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.

Although now,

most of my days i spend alone.

A thousand miles,

from the place i was born.

When she wakes me,

she takes me..

Ya, when she wakes me,

she takes me back home.

When she wakes me,

she takes me back home.

Oasis-wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day

That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street

That the fire in your heart is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before

But you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody feels

The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to you

I don't know how

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me ?

And after all

You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?

But they'll never throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realized what you're not to do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do

About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding

And all the lights that light the way are blinding

There are many things that I would like to say to you

I don't know how

I said maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me ?

And after all

You're my wonderwall

I said maybe

You're gonna be the one who saves me ?

And after an

You're my wonderwall

This song means so much to me, its mine and my boyfriend's song :-4

[911]

I've been lately thinking

about my life's time

all the things I've done

and how it's been,

and I can't help believin'

in my own mind

I know I'm gonna hate to see it end.

I've seen a lot of sunshine

slept out in the rain

spent a night or two all on my own

I've known my lady's pleasures

had myself some friends

spent a time or two in my own home.

I have to say it now it's been good life all in all,

it's really fine to have a chance to hang around.

and lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire,

while all my friends and my old lady

sit and pass a pipe around

and talk of poems and prayers and promises

and things that we believe in,

how sweet it is to love someone,

how right it is to care,

how long it's been since yesterday

what about tomorrow

and what about our dreams

and all the memories we share,

Days they pass so quickly now,

the nights are seldom long

time around me whispers when it's cold.

The changes somehow frightens me,

still I have to smile

it turns me on to think of growing old.

For tho' my life's been good to me

there's still so much to do

so many things my mind has never known

I'd like to raise a family

I'd like to sail away

and dance across the mountains on the moon.

I have to say it now it's been good life all in all,

it's really fine to have a chance to hang around.

and lie there by the fire

and watch the evening tire,

while all my friends and my old lady

sit and pass a pipe around

and talk of poems and prayers and promises

and things that we believe in,

how sweet it is to love someone,

how right it is to care,

how long it's been since yesterday

what about tomorrow

what about our dreams

and all the memories we share

John Mayer - Gravity

Gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man

With all the love that his heart can stand

Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh Gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much aint twice as good

And can't sustain like one half could

It's wanting more

That's gonna send me to my knees

(repeat)

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me

Oh gravity has taken better men than me now how can that be?

Just keep me where the light is

Just keep me where the light is

Keep you me where the light is

Just keep me where the light is

Ohh¦ where the light is!

[pinkchick]

I'm so sick and tired

of all these things

that drag me down.

I've got nowhere to go

They say that life

is in these hands.

You give everything

you give yourself away

You give and still you choke

and find yourself running for the door.

Come and take me home,

Lead me to your door.

Take me where you are,

Lead me to your door

at least just for a while.

It's some kind of life

forever days

We're in the cold

unfamiliar ways

so take this fear

and fade it out

it wont make me sad

coz I get sentimental

lord in other ways

and I dont want to let you down here anymore

You will search, babe, at any cost.

But how long, babe, can you search for what's not lost?

Ev'rybody will help you, some people are very kind.

But if I can save you any time come on, give it to me,

I'll keep it with mine.

I can't help it if you might think I'm odd,

If I say I'm not loving you for what you are but for what you're not.

Everybody will help you discover what you set out to find.

But if I can save you any time, come on, give it to me,

I'll keep it with mine.

The train leaves at half past ten,

But it'll be back tomorrow same time again.

But if I can save you any time, come on, give it to me,

I'll keep it with mine.

Earth Song - Michael Jackson

What about sunrise

What about rain

What about all the things

That you said we were to gain.. .

What about killing fields

Is there a time

What about all the things

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

All the blood we've shed before

Did you ever stop to notice

The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world

Look what we've done

What about all the peace

That you pledge your only son...

What about flowering fields

Is there a time

What about all the dreams

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

All the children dead from war

Did you ever stop to notice

The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah

I used to dream

I used to glance beyond the stars

Now I don't know where we are

Although I know we've drifted far

Let me in

to see you in the morning light

to get me on and all along the tears they come

see they come

I want you to believe in life

but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away

will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be

every little thing you wanted

all the time

I wish I could be

every little thing you wanted

all the time

sometimes

Lift me up

just lift me up don't make a sound

and let me hold you up before you hit the ground

see all come

you say you're alright

but I get the strangest feeling

that you've gone away, you've gone away

and will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be

every little thing you wanted

all the time

I wish I could be

every little thing you wanted

all the time

sometimes

Don't give me up

don't give me up tonight

or soon nothing will be right at all

salvation

will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be

every little thing you wanted

My Faveourite Song

November Rain - Guns 'n' Roses

When I look into your eyes

I can see a love restrained

But darlin' when I hold you

Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever

And we both know hearts can change

And it's hard to hold a candle

In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time

Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go

An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today

Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line

I could rest my head

Just knowin' that you were mine

All mine

So if you want to love me

then darlin' don't refrain

Or I'll just end up walkin'

In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own

Do you need some time...all alone

Everybody needs some time...on their own

Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart

When even friends seem out to harm you

But if you could heal a broken heart

Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my

own Sometimes I need some time...all alone

Everybody needs some time...on their own

Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside

And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh

I know that you can love me

When there's no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness

We still can find a way

'Cause nothin' lasts forever

Even cold November rain



Don't ya think that you need somebody

Don't ya think that you need someone

Everybody needs somebody

You're not the only one

You're not the only one

Ryan Adams' version - When the stars go blue.

Dancin' where the stars go blue

Dancin' where the evening fell

Dancin' in your wooden shoes

In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street

Dancin' through the underground

Dancin' little marionette

Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely

Where do you go when you're blue

Where do you go when you're lonely

I'll follow you

When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth

Laughing with your broken eyes

Laughing with your lover's tongue

In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely

Where do you go when you're blue

Where do you go when you're lonely

I'll follow you

When the stars go blue

The stars go blue, stars go blue

Josh Ritter - Idaho

All that love all those mistakes

What else can a poor man make?

So I gave up a life of crime

I gave it to a friend of mine

Something else was on my mind

The only ghost I'm haunted by

I hear her howling down below

Idaho, Idaho

Wolves oh wolves oh can't you see?

Ain't no wolf can sing like me

And if it could then I suppose

He belongs in Idaho

Packs of dogs and cigarettes

For those who ain't done packing yet

My clothes are packed and I want to go

Idaho, Idaho

Out at sea for seven years

I got your letter in Tangier

Thought that I'd been on a boat

'Til that single word you wrote

That single word it landlocked me

Turned the masts to cedar trees

And the winds to gravel roads

Idaho, Idaho

Turned the winds to gravel roads

Gosh KB, you can post miserable lyrics when you try.

This is from Fairport Convention's "Angel Delight", one of the finest albums ever recorded:



I do hate to see a rover riddled in the stones, now he’s one step nearer to the ground

And I do hate to see a hawker broken in the bones

Everybody’s got the sickness, everybody’s down running to the doctor with a pound

Doctor, doctor, do you have a needle big enough for me?

My friend Willy well he looks so ill, his face as white as milk, everybody runs for miles when he’s in town

He’s got every known disease and some without a name

If you want to live to be a poor man or a prince pay good attention when evil times abound

Always listen to what your mother said and stay in bed at night

Sickness and diseases pull you down, pull you down

Sickness and diseases pull you down.

Goo Goo Dolls ---- Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

'Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

And you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

The Song that made me a Queen Fan

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Is this the real life-

Is this just fantasy-

Caught in a landslide-

No escape from reality-

Open your eyes

Look up to the skies and see-

Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-

Because Im easy come,easy go,

A little high,little low,

Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,

To me

Mama,just killed a man,

Put a gun against his head,

Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,

Mama,life had just begun,

But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-

Mama ooo,

Didnt mean to make you cry-

If Im not back again this time tomorrow-

Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,

Sends shivers down my spine-

Bodys aching all the time,

Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-

Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)

I dont want to die,

I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,

Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-

Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-

Galileo,galileo,

Galileo galileo

Galileo figaro-magnifico-

But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-

Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-

Spare him his life from this monstrosity-

Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-

Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-

Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go

Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go

Will not let you go-let me go

Will not let you go let me go

No,no,no,no,no,no,no-

Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-

So you think you can love me and leave me to die-

Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-

Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,

Anyone can see,

Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Let Him Fly - Patty Griffin



Aint no talkin to this man

Aint no pretty other side

Aint no way to understand the stupid words of pride

It would take an acrobat, and I already tried all that so

Im gonna let him fly

Things can move at such a pace

The second hand just waved goodbye

You know the light has left his face

But you cant recall just where or why

So there was really nothing to it

I just went and cut right through it

I said Im gonna let him fly

Theres no mercy in a live wire

No rest at all in freedom

Of the choices we are given its no choice at all

The proof is in the fire

You touch before it moves away

But you must always know how long to stay and when to go

And there aint no talkin to this man

Hes been tryin to tell me so

It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go

Cause it would take an acrobat, I already tried all that

Im gonna let him fly

Im gonna let him fly

Im gonna let him fly

Civil War - Guns 'n' Roses

What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Some men you just can't reach...

So, you get what we had here last week,

which is the way he wants it!

Well, he gets it!

N' I don't like it any more than you men." *



Look at your young men fighting

Look at your women crying

Look at your young men dying

The way they've always done before



Look at the hate we're breeding

Look at the fear we're feeding

Look at the lives we're leading

The way we've always done before



My hands are tied

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with brainwashed pride

For the love of God and our human rights

And all these things are swept aside

By bloody hands time can't deny

And are washed away by your genocide

And history hides the lies of our civil wars



D'you wear a black armband

When they shot the man

Who said "Peace could last forever"

And in my first memories

They shot Kennedy

I went numb when I learned to see

So I never fell for Vietnam

We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all

That you can't trust freedom

When it's not in your hands

When everybody's fightin'

For their promised land



And

I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

I don't need your civil war



Look at the shoes your filling

Look at the blood we're spilling

Look at the world we're killing

The way we've always done before

Look in the doubt we've wallowed

Look at the leaders we've followed

Look at the lies we've swallowed

And I don't want to hear no more



My hands are tied

For all I've seen has changed my mind

But still the wars go on as the years go by

With no love of God or human rights

'Cause all these dreams are swept aside

By bloody hands of the hypnotized

Who carry the cross of homicide

And history bears the scars of our civil wars



"We practice selective annihilation of mayors

And government officials

For example to create a vacuum

Then we fill that vacuum

As popular war advances

Peace is closer" **



I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

And I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

I don't need your civil war

I don't need one more war



I don't need one more war

Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

Simon and Garfunkle

Sounds of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,

Ive come to talk with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dare

Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i, you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you.

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed

In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon God they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning,

In the words that it was forming.

And the sign said, the words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls.

And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Mardy Bum-Arctic Monkeys

Now then Mardy Bum

I see your frown

And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun

And it goes off

And out come all these words

Oh there's a very pleasant side to you

A side I much prefer

It's one that laughs and jokes around

Remember cuddles in the kitchen

Yeah, to get things off the ground

And it was up, up and away

Oh, but it's right hard to remember

That on a day like today when you're all argumentative

And you've got the face on

Well now then Mardy Bum

Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I?

I thought as much

Cause you turned over there

Pulling that silent disappointment face

The one that I can't bear

Can't we laugh and joke around

Remember cuddles in the kitchen

Yeah, to get things off the ground

And it was up, up and away

Oh, but it's right hard to remember

That on a day like today when you're all argumentative

And you've got the face on

Yeah I'm sorry I was late

Well I missed the train

And then the traffic was a state

And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate

That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care

Well of course I do, yeah I clearly do!

So laugh and joke around

Remember cuddles in the kitchen

Yeah, to get things off the ground

And it was up, up and away

Still it's right hard to remember

That on a day like today when you're all argumentative

And you've got the face on

Howie Day - Collide

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

I'm quiet you know

You make a frist impression

I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to ryhme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

Howie Day-She Says

Sweet is the sight of her room, Window open by candlelight. How would you know?

Cold winter on the shore Chills the dress she wore It's on the floor, It feels so warn today.

That's why I'm wondering why you had to tell me What's going on in your head? What's wrong? Come around to another time when you don't have to run.

And when she said she wants somebody else, Hope you know that she doesn't mean you And when she breaks down and makes a sound You'll never hear her the way that I do. Yeah, yeah... no...

Swing into flight over hills, Over her hills, it's twilight. Yeah, I guess that's right now.

While we're here, tell me why it's so funny That you're so funny when you're mad Always so mad... so mad...

That's why I'm wondering why you had to tell me What’s going on in your head? What's wrong? Come around to another time when you don’t have to run.

And when she says she wants somebody else, I hope you know that she doesn't mean you. And when she breaks down and makes a sound, You'll never hear her the way that I do. And when she says she wants someone to love, I hope you know that she doesn't mean you. And when she breaks down and lets you dow, I hope you know that she...

She doesn’t mean you...

Yeah... I don’t know where... coming from... I don’t where... coming to... And I don’t know what... means to me... And you don’t know what it means to you (whoah... yeah...)

"Seen It All Before" - Amos Lee

Go ahead baby,

run away again.

Growing tired of chasing you.

I know you only have time,

to love me.

You've got nothing better to do.

Who's bold enough to believe?

Even love or war..

Both just leave you busted,

and broken down.

Wanting more..

Baby, i've seen it all before.

Know that i've seen it all before.

Know that i've seen it all before.

I aint gonna be your fool any more.

I can hear my heart pounding,

oh but i can't decide.

Stuck between the depths of my fears,

and peaks of my pride.

Baby, i've seen it all before.

Know that i've seen it all before.

You know that i've seen it all before.

And I aint gonna be your fool any more.

Seen your tricks,

and i've seen your traitors.

I've seen your evil ways.

I've seen everything,

your twisted smile,

conveying.

I aint gonna be your fool baby [x7]

any more..

Dylan - Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day

It's too hot to sleep time is running away

Feel like my soul has turned into steel

I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal

There's not even room enough to be anywhere

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain

Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain

She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind

She put down in writing what was in her mind

I just don't see why I should even care

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree

I've followed the river and I got to the sea

I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies

I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here against my will

I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still

Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb

I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Bird York - Prozac Day

Hiding under covers

pillow over head

he's not coming out of his safe bed

No matter how close I hold him

or sing his praise

there's a big black cloud inside him

and it's had it's way

Kevin's heading for another Prozac Day

looking for something that's gonna make the world a nicer place

Doesn't feel like talking

no desire to eat

he's too busy boxing with his little joy thief

though, all the clouds swirl above him like a giant Monet

when he looks up he can't see them when he thinks in gray

Kevin's heading for another Prozac Day

looking for something that's gonna make the world a nicer place

Kevin's heading for another Prozac Day

He's so bone tired and stripped inside

his muse has got away (so far away yeah)

skin on skin is the medicine

he'll just have to take now

Kevin's heading for another Prozac Day

looking for something that's gonna make the world a nicer place, yeah

Kevin's heading for another Prozac Day

looking for something that's gonna make the world a nicer, smoother, kinder, lovelier,

lighter, oh-so-happy-wonderful place

yeah, he's looking for a Prozac Day

One of the first Elvis Songs i herd

Were caught in a trap

I cant walk out

Because I love you too much baby

Why cant you see

What youre doing to me

When you dont believe a word I say?

We cant go on together

With suspicious minds

And we cant build our dreams

On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know

Drops by to say hello

Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again

Asking where Ive been

You cant see these tears are real

Im crying

We cant go on together

With suspicious minds

And be cant build our dreams

On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive

Or dry the tears from your eyes

Lets dont let a good thing die

When honey, you know

Ive never lied to you

Mmm yeah, yeah
