COME SAIL AWAY
Styx

I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

SOmetimes Wanna Die by JOydrop Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Don't worry 'bout one thing
Don't worry 'bout nothing
She said I'm not gonna let this one go
Nobody's on my side
Nobody seems to see
How much, how deep, how far these things can be

My eyes are dry and.
I, I still don't even know you
I, I still wish that I could hold you
I, Sometimes Wanna Die

And everywhere I go
And everyone I see
Somehow almost sets me free
And the space where we meet
Is different from the rest
And I just can't seem to forget that

My eyes are dry and.

And you were at the start
And now you are the end
And you left me with nothing to defend
I need the voice of a good friend

Can't stop myself from laughing
No matter how sad these things can be
These things can be

My eyes are bright and.

Bleeding Me

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better
I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with something
I'm pushin' to stay with something better

I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted

This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash
That's leading me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Oh of me
The bleeding of me

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash
That's leading me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Oh, the bleeding of me

I am the beast
That bleeds the feast
I am the blood
I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I'm caught, I'm caught, I'm caught under

Caught under wheels roll
I take that leash
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash
That's leading me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it
Oh, oh the bleeding of me

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to something better

I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin'
I'm pushin' to stay with something better
With something better

The Times That Try Our Souls Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Hero of the Day
Metallica




Mama they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone

They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

'Scuse me while I tend to how to feel
These things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid
But the fist I make
For you,can't hold off fear
No not on me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns

Can't you hear your name?

Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama they try and break me

Mama they try

These are, trying times. You are right, Sprayber.
The end of the innocence.



Knowing Me, Knowing You
Abba


No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Mem'ries, good days, bad days
They'll be, with me always
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Before I Get Totally Depressed Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Now, this song came to my mind for some reason. Of course the best and most Beautiful woman I know came from Ireland, but I must admit that as for American born women the below holds true.

To all the Texas Ladies we have on board.

Texas Women By:
Hank Williams Jr.


I’ve got some fond memories of San Angelo
And I’ve seen some beauty queens in El Paso
But the best lookin’ women that I’ve ever seen
Have all been in Texas, and all wearin’ jeans

I’m a country plowboy not a urban cowboy
And I don’t ride bulls, but I have fought some men
Drive a pickup truck trust in God and luck
And I live to love Texas women Verse:

I thought I’d seen beauty in far away places
‘Til I looked upon those Houston faces
Spent Hollywood nights up in Beverly Hills
But they weren’t nothin’ like one night down in Brownsville

I’m a country plowboy not a urban cowboy
And I don’t ride bulls, but I have fought some men
Drive a pickup truck trust in God and luck
And I live to love Texas women

I’m a pretty fair judge of the opposite sex
I ain’t seen nothin’ that will touch ‘em yet
They may be from Waco or out in Lampasas
But one thing about it they all come from Texas

I’m a country plowboy not a urban cowboy
And I don’t ride bulls, but I have fought some men
Drive a pickup truck trust in God and luck
And I live to love Texas women

I’m an Oilier fan not a soccer man
And my arms are red and so is my blood
And they make it boil with that soft Texas drawl
And I love em all Texas women

MY HOMETOWN
Bruce Springsteen

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown

In `65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My hometown

Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around
This is your hometown

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY hometown.


ABILENE

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I ever seen.
Folks down there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene.

I sit alone most every night
Watch them trains roll out of sight
Wish that they were carryin' me
To Abilene, my Abilene.

Crowded city, ain't nothin' free
Nothin' in this town for me
Wish to God that I could be
In Abilene, my Abilene.

How I wish that train would come
Take me back where I come from.
Take me where I want to be
In Abilene, my Abilene.

Rotgut whiskey numbs the brain
If I stay here I'll go insane.
Think I need a change of scene
To Abilene, my Abilene.

Outside my window cold rain falls,
Sit here starin' at the walls;
If I was home, I'd be serene
In Abilene, my Abilene.

I Want the ONe i can't have by THe SMiths

On the day that your mentality
Decides to try to catch up with your biology
Come round ...
'Cause I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face
On the day that your mentality
Catches up with your biology
I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face
A double bed
And a stalwart lover for sure
These are the riches of the poor
A double bed
And a stalwart lover for sure
These are the riches of the poor
And I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over my face
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
He killed a policeman when he was
Thirteen
And somehow that really impressed
Me
And it's written all over my face
Oh, these are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor
I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's written all over my face
On the day that your mentality
Catches up with your biology
And if you ever need self-validation
Just meet me in the alley by the
Railway station
It's all over my face

Suffering from ads?

This first one is for my friend Nollage. O who still has the hope of peace for all who are living in his Northen Ireland town and to everyone like him who hope for peace in their own country (this is one of my favourite tunes of all time, the lyrics alone don't do this song justice)

Simple Minds "Belfast Child"


When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's offering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down

One day we'll return here,
When the Belfast Child sings again

Brothers sisters where are you now
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I've spent
With my faith in God the Church and the Government
But there's sadness abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down

One day we'll return here,
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again

Some come back Billy, won't you come on home
Come back Mary, you've been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long
And your father's calling, come on home
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home

Come back people, you've been gone a while
And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
All the girls are crying but all's not lost

The streets are empty, the streets are cold
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home

The streets are empty
Life goes on

One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again


This next song is for little 11 year old Asia. C who found herself on flight 77 on sept 11 2001. And for the family and friends who morn her loss as well as the thousands others (even not related) who suffer the loss of all these wonderful people america and the world, lost......

Jeff Buckley "Last Goodbye"

this is our last goodbye
i hate to feel the love between us die
but it's over
just hear this and then i'll go
you gave me more to live for
more than you'll ever know

this is our last embrace
must i dream and always see your face
why can't we overcome this wall
well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

kiss me, please kiss me
but kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
you know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
i'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
and did you rush to the phone to call
was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
saying maybe you didn't know him at all
you didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

well, the bells out in the church tower chime
burning clues into this heart of mine
thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
offer signs that it's over... it's over

Increase Your PM Length

Just by Radiohead

can't get the stink off,
he's been hanging around for days.
comes like a comet,
suckered you but not your friends.
one day he'll get to you,
teach you how to be a holy cow.

you do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts is
you do it to yourself just you,
you and no-one else
you do it to yourself.

don't get my sympathy hanging out the 15th floor.
you've changed the locks 3 times,
he still comes reeling through the door.
and soon he'll get to you,
teach you how to get to purest hell.

you do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts is
you do it to yourself just you,
you and no-one else
you do it to yourself.

Ten Years Gone
(Page/Plant)

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, The best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time, And you knew you would

Through the eyes an' I sparkle, Senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, See your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, Didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

I'm never gonna leave you. I never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

Rock And Roll
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.

It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Gallows Pole
(Trad. Arr. Jimmy Page)

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,
You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think I see my brother coming, riding a many mile.
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

Brother, I brought you some silver,
I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything
To keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think I see my sister coming, riding a many mile, mile, mile.
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man,
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this man, man.

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile, mile, mile.

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold,
Brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the Gallows Pole,
Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole

Swingin' on the gallows pole!

oh no more love songs.
cover your eyes slowwhand
wouldn't want you to get misty eyed
or anything unmanly

three tear jerkers from martina
just for you meathead.



When You Are Old
Martina McBride


When you are old and tired and gray
Wear you overcoat on sunny days
When your brave tales have all been told
I'll ask for them when you are old

When you are old and full of sleep
And death no longer makes you weep
When your body aches with cold
I'll warm your heart when you are old

You'll still be the same to me
A comfort and a mystery
And I will be old too see
I'll need someone to comfort me

When you are old and pale and gone
And a gentle hand is all you want
I will give you mine to hold
And I'll be here when you are old
Yes I will give you mine to hold
And I'll be here when you are old
------------------------------------

All The Things We've Never Done


They drank their anniversary glass
A silent moment passed
Then they kissed
She knows there's something on his mind
He'll tell her in due time
What it is

He says "I've never built
Your mansion on a hill
Or warmed you in the Spanish sun
I simply blink my eye
And think as years fly by
Of all the things we've never done"

She smiles and takes his hand in hers
And says "It just occured
To me now
The thought that brings you such regret
What hasn't happened yet
It makes me proud..."

"You never walked away
When I needed you to stay
Or made me feel I'm not the one
There've been no broken vows
And there reason we're here now
Is all the things we've never done"

"We've never grown apart
You never broke my heart
With secrets that you've kept me from
We've never been untrue
And I'm still here with you
Through all the things we've never done

--------------------------------
Born To Give My Love To You

I don't know what brought us here
Something in the stars said you and me
I don't know where this feeling comes from
Surely it was meant to be
For I have known you even in my dreams
My eyes are open, my heart can see

As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

Heaven must be holding on
To all the love I'm feeling now
Here we are this is the moment
And I believe it's our turn somehow
Hearts together, hands across the night
One forever, finally in sight

As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

I was born to give my love to you
(I was born to give my love to you)
I was born to give my love to you
I was born to give my love to you

Surfer girl my little surfer girl

I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl surfer girl

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my Woody I would take you everywhere I go
So I say from me to you
I will make your dreams come true
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl

Dedicated to my little surfer girl.

late night with my love Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

As Is by ANi DiFranco

you can't hide
behind social graces
so don't try
to be all touchy feely
cuz you lie
in my face of all places
but i've got no
problem with that really

what bugs me
is that you believe what you're saying
what bothers me
is that you don't know how you feel
what scares me
is that while you're telling me stories
you actually
believe that they are real

and i've got
no illusions about you
and guess what?
i never did
and when i said
when i said i'll take it
i meant,
i meant as is

just give up
and admit you're an *******
you would be
in some good company
i think you'd find
that you friends would forgive you
or maybe i
am just speaking for me

cuz when i look around
i think this, this is good enough
and i try to laugh
at whatever life brings
cuz when i look down
i just miss all the good stuff
when i look up
i just trip over things

and i've got
no illusions about you...

you can't hide
behind social graces
cuz i don't buy it
like everyone else
and you can lie
in my face of all places
just don't
lie to yourself

cuz i've got
no illusions about you
and guess what?
i never did
and when i say
when i say i'll take it
i mean,
i mean as is...

Cheap copies of Ramones but still... :) Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

When I come around

GREEN DAY

I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing
was ever there

You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around

NEGASONIC TEENAGE WARHEAD

MONSTER MAGNET


Saw your face last night on the tube
Strong fine snake in a sucker's vacuum
15 clicks and it's time to say bye
15 trips and a love that won't die

Me and myself killed a world today
Me and myself got a world to save
Broad cast dead revolution don't pay
Strapped up freaks on the Lazarus plane

Chorus
I can tell just by the climate
and I can tell just by the style
I was born and raised on Venus
and I may be here a while
Cause every supersonic jerkoff who plugs into the game
Is just like every subatomic genius who just invented pain
I will deny you, I will deny you

Oh baby, I'm lazy, Oh baby, introduce me to God
Oh baby, I'm lazy, Oh baby, set a place for the dog
Shut me off 'cause I go crazy with this planet in my hands

Chorus
I can tell just by the climate
and I can tell just by the style
I was born and raised on Venus
and I may be here a while
Cause every supersonic jerkoff who plugs into the game
Is like every subatomic genius who just invented pain
I will deny you, I will deny you

Jangling Jack

NICK CAVE

Jangling Jack
Goes Yackety Yack
Visits the home of the brave
Hails a fat yellow cab
Jack wanna celebrate
Jack wanna big drink
Driver drops him at a bar
Called the Rinky Dink
Jack pushes through the door
And crosses the floor
Tips his hat to a man
Grinning in the corner
Going Do da do Do da do

Says, I'm Jangling Jack
I go Do da do
I wanna Rinky Dink Special
I wanna little umbrella too
Jack flops on his stool
Sees the grinning man laugh
So Jack laughs back
Jack raises his glass
Says, God bless this country
And everything in it
The losers and the winners
The good guys and the sinners
The grinning man says, Buddy
It's all Yackety Yack
Whips out a little black pistol
Shoots a bullet in Jack

Jangling Jack Do Da Do Do Da Do
Jangling Jack
How do you Do Da Do

Jangling Jack Flies off his seat
Crashes through the door
Lands in a heap on the street
Hears his mother's voice
Going, Do do do
Jack is shouting
Mummy is that you?
He sees the berserk city
Sees the dead stacked in piles
Sees the screaming crowd
Screams, Where am I?
Going Do da do Going Do da do

Well Jangling Jack
As a matter of fact
Crawls through the crowd
Back into the bar
Jack crawls to his stool
Jack drags himself up
Falls back down on his arse
In a puddle of blood
Going Goodbye Mummy
Goodbye Goodbye
Jack doubles over
And he vomits and dies
Going Do do do Going Do do do

Sometimes Always

JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

I gave you all I had
I gave you good and bad
I gave but you just threw it back

I won't get on my knees
Don't make me do that please
I've been away but now I'm back

Don't be too sure of that
What makes you sure of that
You went away you can't come back

I walked away from you
I hurt you through and through
Aw honey give me one more chance

Aw you're a lucky son
Lucky son of a gun
You went away, you went away
You went away but now youre back

I got down on my knees
And then I begged you please
I always knew you'd take me back

for some reason this is THE party song! Intoxicating rythme Support Apolyton

Jump Around

HOUSE OF PAIN

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin
I came to win
Battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up
Punk you'd better back up
Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up
Get up, stand up, come on!
Come on, throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling
Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk
Yo, I'll bust em in the eye
And then I'll take the punks home
Feel it, funk it
Amps it are junking
And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are dunking
Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops

Chorus

I came to get down (2x)
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around (3x)
Jump up Jump up and get down.
Jump (18x)
I'll serve your ass like John MacEnroe
If your steps up, I'm smacking the ho
Word to your moms I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
Cause I got lyrics and you ain't got none
So if you come to battle bring a shotgun
But if you do you're a fool, cause I duel to the death
Try and step to me you'll take your last breath
I gots the skill, come get your fill
Cause when I shoot ta give, I shoot to kill

Chorus

I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk *****
Get used to one style and you know I might switch
It up up and around, then buck buck you down
Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm coming to get ya, coming to get ya
Spitting out lyrics homie I'll wet ya

Chorus
Jump (x32)

I am the passenger and I ride and I ride

I ride through the city's backsides

I see the stars come out of the sky

yeah the bright and hollow sky

you know it looks so good tonight

I am the passenger

I stay under glass

I look through my window so bright

I see the stars come out tonight

I see the bright and hollow sky

over the city's ripped backsides

and everything looks good tonight


get into the car

we'll be the passenger

we'll ride through the city tonight

we'll see the city's ripped backside

we'll see the bright and hollow sky

we'll see the stars that shine so bright

stars made for us tonight

oh the passenger

oh how he rides

oh the passenger

he rides and he rides

he looks through his window

what does he see?

he sees the bright and hollow sky

he sees the stars come out tonight

he sees the city's ripped backsides

he sees the winding ocean drive

and everything was made for you and me

all of it was made for you and me

'cause it just belongs to you and me

so let's take a ride

and see what's mine


oh the passenger

he rides and he rides

he sees things from under glass

he looks through his window side

he sees the things he knows are his

he sees the bright and hollow sky

he sees the city sleep at night

he sees the stars are out tonight

and all of it is yours and mine

and all of it is yours and mine

so let's ride and ride

Mr. Roboto

Mata ah-oo Hima de
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Himitsu wo Shiri Tai

You're wondering who I am - Machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modern man.

I've got a secret, I've been hiding
Under my skin.
My heart is humn, my blood is boiling
My brain IBM.
So if you see me, acting strangely
Don't be surprised.
I'm just a man who, needed someone
And somewhere to hide
To keep me alive - Just keep me alive.
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive.

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

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

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo (Domo), Domo (Domo)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo (Domo), Domo (Domo)

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto [Repeat several X's]

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

Oh! Oh-ah-oh!

The problem's plain to see
To much technology
Machine's to save our lives
Machines dehumanize

The time has come at last.
To throw away this mask.
Now everyone can see.
My true identity.

I'm Kilroy!
Kilroy!
Kilroy!
Kilroy.

The Eyes of Texas

The eyes of Texas are upon you, all the live-long day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them, at night or early in the morn.
The eyes of Texas are upon you, till Gabriel blows his horn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beautiful, Beautiful Texas

Oh, beautiful, beautiful Texas
The most beautiful state that I know.
We're proud of our forefathers,
Who fought at the Alamo.

You may live on the plains or the mountains
Or down where the sea breezes blow,
But, you'll still be in beautiful Texas
The most beautiful state that I know.

------------------------------------------------
All My Exes Live in Texas

[CHORUS]
All my ex’s live in Texas, and Texas is a place I’d dearly love to be.
But all my ex’s live in Texas, and that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

Rosanna’s down in Texarkana; wanted me to push her broom.
And sweet Ilene’s in Abilene; she forgot I hung the moon.
And Allison in Galveston, somehow lost her sanity.
An Dimples who now lives in Temple’s got the law lookin’ for me. [to chorus]

I remember that old Brazos River where I learned to swim,
But it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome thin.
By transcendental meditation, I go there each night.
But I always com back to myself long before daylight. [to chorus]

Some folks think I hide; It’s been rumored that I died,
but I’m alive and well in Tennessee.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deep in the Heart of Texas

The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas,
The prairie sky is wide and high, deep in the heart of Texas.
The sage in bloom is like perfume, deep in the heart of Texas,
Reminds me of, the one I love, deep in the heart of Texas.

The coyotes wail, along the trail, deep in the heart of Texas,
The rabbits rush, aroung the brush, deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry, "Ki-yip-pee-yi," deep in the heart of Texas,
The dogies bawl, and bawl and bawl, deep in the heart of Texas.




hows that meathead?

Amarillo By Morning

Amarillo by morning
Up from San Antone
Everything that I've got
Is just what I've got on
When that sun is high
In that Texas sky
I'll be bucking it to county fair
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo I'll be there

They took my saddle in Houston
Broke my leg in Sante Fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend
Somewhere along the way
Well I'll be looking for eight
When they pull that gate
And I'm hoping that
Judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's on my mind

Amarillo by morning
Up from San Antone
Everything that I've got
Is just what I've got on
I ain't got a dime
But what I've got is mine
I ain't rich
But Lord I'm free
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's where I'll be

Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's where I'll be

Heartland

When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' to the sound of the American heart
And opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye

Sing a song about the Heartland
The only place I feel at home
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight's gone
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right
Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about my life

There's a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature along with you
Where simple people livin' side by side
Still wave to their neighbor when they're drivin' by

Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about my life

DOES FORT WORTH EVER CROSS YOUR MIND

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous.
I try it night after night.
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Darlin' while you're busy burning bridges,
Burn one for me if you get time.
'Cause good memories don't fade so easy.
Does Fort Worth ever cross you mind?

Chorus:
You left me here to be with him in Dallas,
And I know it hurt you at the time.
But I wonder now if it makes a difference.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Repeat Chorus:

Does Fort Worth ever, does Fort Worth ever,
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

I CAN’T SEE TEXAS FROM HERE

I come and go as I please.
From down here, up North and inbetween,
But baby it’s a shame ‘cause I always feel the same
When I can’t see Texas from here.

Chorus:
I can’t see Texas from here.
No matter how I try, it makes me want to cry.
So if you see me lookin’ down,
I’m tryin’ not to show this frown
‘Cause I can’t see Texas from here.

I can’t say I don’t like Tennessee.
The people here have all been good to me.
So please don’t take offense if I start to get intense
Just ‘cause I can’t see Texas from here.

Repeat Chorus:

Repeat Chorus:

‘Cause I can’t see Texas, I can’t see Texas,
I can’t see Texas from here.

The Cowboy Rides Away

I knew the stakes were high right from the start
And when she dealt the cards I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can't play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday
And this is where the cowboy rides away

We've been in and out of love and in-between
And now we play the final show-down scene
And as the credits roll a sad song starts to play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away

Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away
