The Lyrics Thread-Part II

Moogle went Moon Crazy :cool_laugh:

I have some more :content:

Pet by A Perfect Circle

Don’t fret precious I’m here
Step away from the window
And go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won’t let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don’t care about you
Like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice
And other poison devils
See, they don’t give a f**k about you
Like I do
Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won’t let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

I’ll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I’ll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I’ll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices, son
They’re one and the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin’ to the rhythm of the new world order
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drum
The boogeymen cometh
The boogeymen cometh
Keep your head down
Go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
I’ll hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don’t love you son
Go back to sleep

This is just one of the many favorites of Floyd :cool:

Fearless By Pink Floyd

You say the hill’s too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you’d like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I’ll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning.

And who’s the fool who wears the crown?
And go down,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

What I am

[i]I’m not aware of too many things,
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a dog.

I’m not aware of too many things,
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?

I’m not aware of too many things,
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.
Religion is a light in the fog.

I’m not aware of too many things,
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?
Don’t let me get too deep.[/i]

Edie Brickell

I was thinking that this might be a good song to MWILD to…
Because it mentions the music taking control, you gotta do it (WILD/LD)…

Billy More
Come On And Do It

Come on and do it
Do it.

Come on and do it
Come on and let your body go
When let the music take control
You gotta do it.
Come on and do it
And let the feelings get you high
But in saturday night life
Come on and do it.

Saturday night life
I love to live it
I love to live my crazy life.
Around the world
I always love to feel it
I love to live it through the lights.

From Milano to Paris
Going to New York city
Everybody hit down
And dance with me.
From Ibiza on tv
Burn in London and Italy
Everybody come on and dance with me.

Come on and do it
Come on and let your body go
When let the music take control
You gotta do it.
Come on and do it
And let the feelings get you high
But in saturday night life
You gotta do it.

Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Come on and do it.

Around the world…
Saturday night life
Around the world

Saturday night life
I love to live it
I love to live my crazy life
Around the world
I always love to feel it
I love to live it through the lights.

From Milano to Paris
Going to New York city
Everybody hit down
And dance with me.
From Ibiza on tv
Burn in London and Italy
Everybody come on
And dance with me.

Come on do it
Come on and let your body go
When let the music take control
You gotta do it.
Come on and do it
And the feelings get you high
But in saturday night life
You gotta do it.
Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Come on and do it.

Come on and do it
Come on and let your body go
When let the music take control
You gotta do it.
Come on and do it
And let the feelings get you high
But in saturday night life
You gotta do it.

This is one of my favorite songs. I could listen to it over and over again!

Solomon Burke:
Cry To Me

When your baby leaves you all alone
And nobody calls you on the phone
Ah, don’t you feel like crying?
Don’t you feel like crying?
Well here I am my honey
Oh, come on you cry to me.

When you’re all alone in your lonely room
And there’s nothing but the smell of her perfume
Ah don’t you feel like crying
Don’t you feel like crying?
Ah don’t you feel like crying?
Come on, come on cry to me.

Well nothing could be sadder
Than a glass of wine, all alone
Loneliness, loneliness, it’s such a waste of time
Oh-oh yeah

You don’t ever have to walk alone, oh you see
Oh come on, take my hand and baby won’t you walk with me?
Oh ya

When you’re waiting for a voice to come
In the night and there is no one
Ah don’t you feel like crying? (cry to me)
Don’t you feel like crying? (cry to me)
Ah don’t you feel like a-ca-ca-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra, (cry to me)
Cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying? (cry to me)
Ah don’t you feel like a-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra,
Cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying?..

Indian Reservation
Artists: Paul Revere and the Raiders

They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I’m still part redman deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return, will return, will return, will return, will return

OUR HOUSE Maddness

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother’s tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister’s sighing in her sleep
Brother’s got a date to keep
He can’t hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our …

Our house it has a crowd
There’s always something happening
And it’s usually quite loud
Our mum she’s so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our …

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our …
Something tells you that you’ve got to get away from it

Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She’s the one they’re going to miss
In lots of ways

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our …

I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we’d play simply waste the day away
Then we’d say nothing would come between us two dreamers

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother’s tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister’s sighing in her sleep
Brother’s got a date to keep
He can’t hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our …

Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

LOVESTRUCK Maddness

Staggering home,
the headlights throw a shadow up and upon
friends and loved ones that have done no wrong
but no longer mean anything to me
am I mummbling on into a crystal glass that echoes a song
the entisement invites you along
A path of exterior colour
But come the morning, shivering and contorting
to border on the brink, for just another sink
Oh, take me down, for one more round

Oh, involve me in libations
stick a rock in my foundation
pickle my relations
put me on probation
I’ll take you down for one last round

Lovestruck, I’ve fallen for a lamppost, given her my up most
spilling out my deepest feelings
now all I want to do, is snuggle up to you
a night cap in the early morning dew

Look! what have I become?
distancing myself so far and from
but gazing up, I wave the night boat on
for now its heaven in deepest Tottenham

what have I done to deserve this fate?
It’s all gone wrong
even the cab fares been and gone
now I’m lagging in deepest Tottenham

frightening, frightening, strike me down with lightning

I’ve given in to fightling
now all I want to do, is get closer to you
a night cap in the early morning dew

I love reading Tool’s lyrics, i always get little bumps, check it out :wink:

Parabola from TOOL

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

Lateralus by TOOL

[color=red]Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I’m reaching up and reaching out,
I’m reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one’s been.
We’ll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one’s been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going…[/color]

I had to put two songs :tongue: One wasnt just enough :grin:

U2- Sunday Bloody Sunday

I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes
And make it go away

How long…
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long…
'Cause tonight… we can be as one / Tonight
Tonight / Tonight

Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Alright let’s go

And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long…
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long…
'Cause tonight… we can be as one tonight
Tonight, Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Tonight, Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I’ll wipe your tears away
I’ll wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle yet begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On…

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday…

:peek:

Hubbs wrote

I have been known to post three :tongue: It’s hard to stop when you start thinking about the different lyrics that you like.

InfectionO …IMO the best line of the lyrics was
The real battle yet begun
To l claim the victory Jesus won


Mama Told Me Not To Come Lyrics by Tom Jones

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions they’re askin’ me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights 'cause I don’t wanna see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said “That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”

Some radio is blastin’
someone’s knockin’ at the door
I’m lookin’ at my girlfriend
She just passed out on the floor
I’ve seen so many things
I ain’t never seen before
Don’t know what it is
I don’t wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me)
She said “That ain’t the way to have fun, no” (no, no)
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”

Mama told me, mama told me
Mana told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son” (Mama told me)

Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun” (oh no, no)…

Stuck In The Middle With You

Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down those stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you
And I’m wondering what it is I should do
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, and I’m all over the place

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started off with nothing
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don’t think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

And you started off with nothing
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Yeah, I don’t know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down those stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I’m struck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

The heck… ok the lyrics site got it wrong… there’s no “I” in there… I’ll fix it right away. Hey thanks for helping me out in FF3 today!! You died (yes I am a bad strategist) for Terra!
:tongue:

The numbers are different in England …the American FF3 is FF VI here. I bet you were using one of the dances so you had no control!

While I’m here :cool:

I Fall To Pieces by Patsy Cline

I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces, how can I be just your friend?

You want me to act like we’ve never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we’ve never met
And I’ve tried and I’ve tried but I haven’t yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces

I fall to pieces, each time someone speakes your name
I fall to pieces, time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who’ll love me too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces

Crazy by Patsy Cline

Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday, you’d leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond’ring, what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you

Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday, you’d leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond’rin’, what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you

Most of the music I listen to doesn’t have lyrics so I’ll have to reach into the faithful Deadhead bag…

Yep, I’d have to say this is my favorite song to sing along to of all time.

Scarlet Begonias by the Grateful Dead

As I was walkin’ round Grosvenor Square
Not a chill to the winter
but a nip to the air
From the other direction
she was calling my eye
It could be an illusion
but I might as well try
Might as well try.

She had rings on her fingers and
bells on her shoes,
And I knew without askin’ she was
into the blues
Scarlet begonias
tucked into her curls
I knew right away
she was not like other girls–
other girls

In the thick of the evening
when the dealing got rough
She was too pat to open and
too cool to bluff
As I picked up my matches and
was closing the door
I had one of those flashes:
I’d been there before–
been there before.

[Bridge]
I ain’t often right
but I’ve never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way
it does in the song
Once in a while
you get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right

Well there ain’t nothin’ wrong
with the way she moves
Or scarlet begonias or a
touch of the blues
And there’s nothing wrong with
the love that’s in her eye
I had to learn the hard way
to let her pass by–
let her pass by

The wind in the willows played Tea for Two
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue
Strangers stopping strangers
just to shake their hand
Everybody’s playing
in the Heart of Gold Band
Heart of Gold Band

Sanitarium/ Welcome Home
Metallica
Based on the book/movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can’t they see it’s why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what’s out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I’m insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he’s getting better, can’t you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it’s such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

Disposable Heros
Metallica

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he’s yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he’s yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he’s yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Back to the front.

Ego Brain
System of a Down

Life is but a dream,
Drifting on a stream, a stream,
Consciously it seems,
All of what remains,
Ego brain,
Man made shame,
Shame, Love after it rains,
You see my pain is real,
Watch my world dissolve,
And pretend that none of us see the Fall,
As I turn to sand,
You took me by the hand,
And declared, that love prevails over all.
I am just a man,
Fighting other men,
For land, for land,
While I turn to sand,
In spite of the pain,
Ego brain,
Man made Shame,
Shame, Love after it rains,
You see my pain is real,
Watch my world dissolve,
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand,
You took me by the hand,
And declared that love prevails over all.
All of what remains,
Ego brain,
Man made shame,
Shame, Love after it rains,
You see my pain is real,
Watch my world dissolve,
And pretend that none of us see the Fall,
As I turn to sand,
You took me by the hand,
And declared that love prevails over all.

Sorry for the LONG ASS post :grin:

Mine would have been longer but I posted lyrics from Buffy the musical on Cult TV topic. :tongue:

Hurts So Good

First you take my heart
In the palm of your hand
And you squeeze it tight
Then you take my mind
And play with it all night

You take my pride
And throw it up against the wall
You take me in your arms baby
And bounce me like a rubber ball

I ain’t complaining
What you’re doing you see
'Cos this hurting feeling is
Oh so good for me

You take my name
And you scandalise it in the street
Oh anything you wanna do
Say it’s alright by me

Then you turned me around
And check my masculinity
So let me tell you
You sure look good to me

'Cos baby these things you’re doing
believe
They hurt so bad
But it’s worth all the misery

Don’t you know that it’s hurts so good
Hurts so good

Ooh boy please don’t ever
Take the heat off me
'Cos it would hurt even more
If you’d ever leave
Even though sometimes
It’s hard to me to bear
I make myself hold on
'Cos it kills me I don’t care

'Cos baby I don’t want you to ever quit
Ooh, it ain’t no good 'til it
Hurts just a little bit

Don’t you know that it’s hurts so good
Hurts so good

Suicide Is Painless - Theme from MASH

Through early moring fog I see
Vision’s of the things to be
The pains that are with held for me
I realise and I can see

*That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
Gonna to lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

(Repeat *)

All That I Need
ARTIST: BLIND MELON

All that I need is the air that I breathe
And all that I need are things I don’t need
And all that really matters is what matters to me
And who of you are like me

If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand
Because you know if I’m to benefit I’ll do everything that I can
And who of you are like me

It will make you feel good, over my shoulder
It’ll get me down and got me tied up
'Till I grow older, but feel me inside of you
Like you want it to

But is it just the pains in your head
That are thrilling me
Another life’s falling down onto it’s knees
But I’ll never smile the way, that I did like that day

Everything will be okay
It’ll be okay

Opiate

ARTIST: TOOL

Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
what you need is someone strong to use you…
like me,
like me.

If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me .
Don’t judge or question.
You are broken now ,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.

My Gods will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.

Jesus Christ, why don’t you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
and your lies.

The Graping Lotus Experience (FILLS IN THE rest of Opiate,edit*)
I had a friend once he took some acid
Now he thinks he’s a fire engine
It’s okay until he pisses on your lighter
Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway

satan, satan, satan…

I had a friend once he took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and every one in the room
He was sort of loving kinda caring,
kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy
It got a bit messy all over the curtains,
arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting

satan, satan, satan…

I’m getting bored again…

Where My Heart Will Take Me _ Theme from Enterprise
Lyrics by Diane Warren Vocal by Russell Watson

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.

I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long road.

[color=blue]Love Is the Seventh Wave
Sting
From the album The Dream of the Blue Turtles
Words and music by Sting

In the empire of the senses
You’re the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper world than this
That you don’t understand
There is a deeper world that this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed all the anger
All the weapons all the greed
All the armies all the missiles
All the symbols of your fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the center of the fury
All the angels all the devils
All around us can’t you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave[/color]

DNTel - (This Is) The Dream Of Evan and Chan

it was familiar to me
the smoke too thick to breathe
the tile floors glistened
i slowly stirred my drink
and when you started to sing
you spoke with broken speech
that i could not understand
and then you grabbed me tightly

i wont let go
i wont let go
even if you say so
oh no
i’ve tried and tried with no results
i wont let go
i wont let go

he then played every song from 1993
the crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully
your eyelashes tickled my neck
with every nervous blink
and it was perfect
until the telephone started
ringing ringing ringing ringing off

Nick Drake - Hazey Jane I

Do you curse where you come from,
Do you swear in the night
Will it mean much to you
If I treat you right.
Do you like what you’re doing,
Would you do it some more
Or will you stop once and wonder
What you’re doing it for.
Hey slow Jane, make sense
Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence.

Do you feel like a remnant
Of something that’s past
Do you find things are moving
Just a little too fast.
Do you hope to find new ways
Of quenching your thirst,
Do you hope to find new ways
Of doing better than your worst.
Hey slow Jane, let me prove
Slow, slow Jane, we’re on the move.

Do it for you,
Sure that you would do the same for me one day.
So try to be true,
Even if it’s only in your hazey way.

Can you tell if you’re moving
With no mirror to see,
If you’re just riding a new man
Looks a little like me.
Is it all so confusing,
Is it hard to believe
When the winter is coming
Can you sign up and leave.
Hey slow Jane, live your lie
Slow, slow jane, fly on by.

311 - 8:16 AM

Stranger flowers yet
There will never come a day that will ever regret
The hours days years and the minutes
The joy the pain the sunshine and rain in it
The drives on the coast to nowhere
Nothing to say just sit and stare
There’s nothing like the comfort of a silence that’s comfortable
Not talking small just skip the bull
Then I find myself in servility
Didn’t think that was my ability
I go a yard and a mile to make you smile
But then I’m happy see
I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
Got a ways to go future’s so
Criptical and I’m glad
Just another many things we’ve had

It’s 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open I’m just hopin’ you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You’re right last night I was a hog
Come on I’m sorry
It’s 73 degrees
January easily glides

Stranger flowers still
If you’re gonna wanna go another day I will
Like this make it a deal
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a fell of impermanent bliss
Today my love we shall let the world slide
Turn off the ringer and just glide
For we shall never be younger again than
What do you see

It’s 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open I’m just hopin’ you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You’re right last night I was a hog
Come on I’m sorry
Holiday on the radio
Billie knows that is the way to go

A place where we both can spend out saved time
Not collecting interest
Maybe the same reason we always find ourselves home bound
I’ve got to do some homework
The leave response we want to leave Wisconsin
For a new life a new trailer with an antenna and a porch
Of course we’ll bring the dog

Man Who Shot Liberty Valance sung by Gene Pitney

When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they’d hide
When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside
‘cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin’ straight and fast—he was mighty good.

From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land
‘cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin’ straight and fast—he was mighty good.

Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go, stay on
Just tryin’ to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow
But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good.

Alone and afraid she prayed that he’d return that fateful night, aww that night
When nothin’ she said could keep her man from goin’ out to fight

From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown the very first thing she learns
When two men go out to face each other only one retur-r-r-ns

Everyone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

I was just about to go when I saw I had the devil’s post (666) so I came here to make one more post. :tongue:

[size=150]The Ballad of Waterhole #3[/size]

The code of the west ain’t some words on a page
You just naturally know it when you come of age
You eat when you’re hungry, you drink when you’re dry
You look every man in the eye

It’s the code of the west when the boys talk of women
The code of the west what you know you don’t tell
The code of the west a man soaps his own saddle
Brands his own cattle and some of his neighbour’s as well

If you’re buildin’ fences then I ain’t for hire
You get me for nothin’ and I’ll bring the wire
You patch up my windows, I’ll plumb up your doors
If you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours

It’s the code of the west you must honour your neighbour
The code of the west to your own self be true
The code of the west you must do unto others
Do unto others before them others do it unto you

This is from an old track from the 80’s. I havent heard it since the last time I saw ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ (I remember it being in the intro), but oddly enough, I woke up this morning with these lyrics running through my head-

“Like a child in his fantasies
Punching holes in the walls of reality
You can be what want to be
But you can’t change the course of your destiny”

from “I Can’t Break Away” by Big Pig

Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade

Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall?
It’s the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a ton up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya’ that the old songs are the best?
Then she’s up and rock ‘n’ rollin’ with the rest

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin’ Santa Claus?
Ah ah

alt - What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama givin’ Santa Claus a hug

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you’ve been slayed

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun :xmas:
