I'm A Fool
Dino, Desi and Billy

You know where I can be found
doncha know I'll be waitin' by the telephone, girl
While you're out runnin' around, yeah
I'm sittin' home all alone

I'm a fool, just a silly fool
To be in love with you

You can't be kind to me, girl
You always treat me bad, girl
But I can't let you go, I know
It would only make me sad

I'm a fool, just a silly fool
To be in love with you

You treat me just like dirt
You have all the fun
I stay at home and hurt

Baby I wish I knew, yeah
Just how to get you off my mind, girl
To put you down and say we're through, yeah
I think about you all the time

I'm a fool, just a silly fool
To be in love with you

Baby I wish I knew, yeah
Just how to get you off my mind, girl
To put you down and say we're through, yeah
I think about you all the time

I'm a fool, just a silly fool

Garbage - When I Grow Up

Cut my tongue out, I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours, golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out

We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you, celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you

When I grow up I'll be stable
When I grow up I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected, God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences

When I grow up I'll be stable
When I grow up I'll turn the tables

Blood and blisters on my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper I go mental
I'll try to be gentle

When I grow up I'll be stable
When I grow up I'll turn the tables
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up I'll turn the tables

Don't take offence
Can I make amends?
Rip it up to shreds and let it go

Don't take offence
Can I make amends?
Rip it up to shreds and let it go
How you like it best, you let me know

IF EVER YOU'RE IN MY ARMS AGAIN
(Peabo Bryson)

It all came so easy, all the loving you gave me
The feelings we shared, and I still can remember
How your touch was so tender, it told me you cared
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn't see, until it was gone
A second once in a lifetime, may be too much to ask
But I swear from now on

Chorus:
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end

Now I'm seeing clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There's something between us
That won't ever leave us
There's no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn't know it
Till my life fell apart
A second once in a lifetime
Isn't too much to ask
'Cause I swear from the heart

Chorus

The best of romances,
deserve second chances
I'll get to you somehow
'Cause I promise now


----------------------------

I WANNA TAKE FOREVER TONIGHT
(Peter Cetera & Crystal Bernard)

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough
I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night
I get crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you, baby
I don't wanna play rough
I've been loving you enough, oh baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever tonight

Touch my lips, I'm on fire
You're the only one
I'll ever desire
Turn the lights down low
Make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight
It's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do
When you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you, baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever

And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see what drives you
Out of your mind
Oh baby
I never wanna leave
I only wanna be with you
'Cause I love how I feel
Your love is for real

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
'Cause I can't live without you

Because it seems Willy Nelson is stalking me, here's a Willy Nelson/Lee Ann Womack song.


Mendocino County Line
Willy Nelson, Lee Ann Womack

Counted the stars on the Forth of July,
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky.
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind,
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

Fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away,
I orchastrated paradise; couldn't make you stay.
We danced with the horses through the sands of time.
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time;
These pictures, these photographs,
Let me know I'm doing fine.

I used to make you happy, once upon a time,
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

The two of us together felt nothing but right
Feeling near immortal every Friday night.
Lost in our convictions; lips stained with wine,
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

I don't talk to you too much these days.
I just thank the Lord pictures don't fade.
I spent time with an angel, just passing through,
And all that's left are these pictures of you.

Counted the stars on the Fourth of July,
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky.
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind...

I have these pictures and I keep these photographs to remind me of a time-
These pictures, these photographs, let me know I'm doing fine.
We used to be so happy, once upon a time- Once upon a time-
But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line.

Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line...

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

ALl for YOu by Sister Hazel

Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time
But now there's a turnabout
Maybe 'cause I'm trying

1-There's been times, I'm so confused
All my roads, they lead to you
I just can't turn and walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, and I can't do
Enough to prove, it's all for you

I thought I'd seen it all
'Cause it's been a long, long time
Oh but then we'll trip and fall
Wondering if I'm blind


Rain comes pouring down, falling from blue skies
Words without a sound, coming from your eyes


It's hard to say, it's hard to say
It's all for you

Passenger by Deftones (With Maynard James Keenan)

Hear I lay
Still and breathless
Just like always
Still I want some more
Mirrors sideways
Who cares what’s behind
Just like always
Still your passenger
Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time would you please drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything
I’m your passenger
I’m your passenger
Drop these down and
Put them on me
Nice cool seats
There to cushion your knees
Now to calm me
Take me around again
Just don’t pull over
This time would you please drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight
Roll these misty windows down
To catch my breath again
And then go and go and go just drive me home
Then back again
Here I lay just like always
Don’t let me
Go take me to the edge

Swamp SOng by Tool

"My warning meant nothing.
You're dancing in quicksand.
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in.
And you may never come back again.

This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
when you're a stupid,dumb ass, beligerant ****er.

I hope it sucks you down.

Wander in and wandering.
Noone even invited you in.
But still you stumble in stumbling.
So suffocate
or get out while you can.

Noone told you to come.

I hope it sucks you down.

You Really Got A Hold On Me


I don't like you
But I love you
See that I'm always
thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,
you treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I don't want you,
but I need you
Don't want to kiss you
but I need you
Oh, oh, oh
you do me wring now
my love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I love you and all I want you to do
is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

I want to leave you
don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I love you and all I want you to do
is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me

TRACKS OF MY TEARS

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you...
Need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Looking like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break-up with you

Baby, take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Billy Don't Be A Hero
Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods


The marchin' band came down along Main Street
The soldier-blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
>From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say

"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"

The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys"
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"
"I need a volunteer to ride up"
"And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said

She said
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"

I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away

Blondie - Maria

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Ooh Don't ya wanna take her
Ooh Don't ya wanna make her all your own

(Chorus)
Maria
You've got to see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend
And the boy next door
Fool for love
Fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain
Sees oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Ooh Don't you wanna make her
Ooh Don't you wanna take her home

(Repeat Chorus)

She walks like she don't care wanna take her everywhere
Ooh Makes you wanna cry
She's like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Ooh it makes you wanna die

You were the only one
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone


Baz Lurhmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97: Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

Hehe...only just found this, and found it so amusing I figured I had to post it.


Not The Sunscreen Song - John Safran (with no apologies of any sort to Baz Lurhman)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '98,
People often ask me if I have any advice to offer
And when they do, I tell them this:

If you're unsure about what you're going to do with your life,
Try to remember, some of the most interesting people didn't know what they were going to do at age twenty-two or even at forty, and nearly all of them are unemployed drug addicts forced to live on cat food.
Also understand that friends will come and go, this is because of your irritating personality, nobody likes you. So if the only thing getting you thought the day is the misconception that people like you, end it now. (bang)
Learn how to smoke Whinny Blues, if you're under aged, get an older kid to buy them for you.
Get to really know your parents, they're good for money, milk them, then put them in an old people's home.
Travel as often as you can, live in New York City once, live in Northern California once, never live in Adelaide, It's a hole.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, if you do have children, lock them under the stairs.
Do one thing each day that scares you, sing, dance, jump in front of a car.
Do not trust anyone who tries to update Sheakespear for the kids, and if you see Quindon Tarver in the street, punch him in the face for me.

Chorus
Brother and Sister, we can be free (smack)

If you're worried about the way you look, try to remember, you're probably fatter than you think, maybe you should consider an eating disorder. Don't worry too much about the future. If you're nervous about an exam, ring up your school to schedule time, and make a bomb threat. If you're a girl, lie about period pains to get out of anything you don't want to do. Cheat if you think you can get away with it. Remember, someone with richer parents is getting private tuition.
Shop-lift as often as you can, Shopping Centres factor shop-lifting into their prices, so if you don't do it, it's like they're getting money for free.
When you're on work experience, steal a cab-charge, and take a Taxi to Perth.
Wear sunscreen, but only if it's that coconut oil that gives you cancer.
Keep your old love letters, if you see an old lover in the street, try to run them over in your car.
Don't mess too much with your hair, or else by the time you're thirty-five, you'll look like Greg Matthews.
Remember you can wear your underwear four times without washing them, Forwards, Backwards, inside-out Forwards, inside-out Backwards.

Chorus twice
(bang bang bang bang)

Congregate in gangs around train stations and shopping centres, it's a free country, It's public space. Skateboard on War Memorials.
Smoke in your School uniform.
Set off car alarms.
Plant Drugs on a teacher.
Join a cult.
Spike Drinks.
Don't flush public toilets.
Remember, only you will truly take care of you, so carry a concealed weapon.
Don't wear your 'P' plates.
Walk around with your eye lids rolled back.
Touch your tongue on the tip of batteries.
Be open to new love.
Remember, you can't get pregnant the first time you have sex.
Expect others to support you, it's easy to get the doll and still do cash in hand work.
Respect your elders, when your grandma dies, have her stuffed.
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when you're knee capped by a loan shark.
Get revenge, don't forgive anyone for anything,
But most of all, don't aim too high, you're probably only suited to an office or factory job.
And trust me on the Whinny Blues.

Heart In Pieces

Only you can touch me with your eyes
with a look that burns like fire through the lonely night.
Sometimes I run, but I can never hide
from the pieces of my heart that fall like rain from the sky.

When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sound of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.


No one cuts through my soul like you can.
I'm naked to the bone beside your empty hand.
I see your face and I remember.
I'm a prisoner of your fate,
I'm a loser in the race.


When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sounds of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.


I walk the fine line
between fire and the ice.
The memory lives on.
There's always something to remind me.
Every teardrop falling
when your voice keeps calling.

One Night in Bangkok



THE AMERICAN:
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland --
or the Philippines --
or Hastings -- or --
or this place!

COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

THE AMERICAN:
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother

COMPANY:
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

THE AMERICAN:

Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
--

COMPANY:
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

THE AMERICAN:
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

THE AMERICAN:
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

And thank God I'm only watching the game --
controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples,
your massage
parlours --

COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me.

She's So High - Tal Bachman

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything

What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal

'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

MORNING HAS BROKEN
Cat Stevens

Morning has broken like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the world.

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise fore the sweetness of the wet garden,
srung in completeness where his feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight, Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning,
God's resreation of the new day.

Morning has broken ...

WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
(Julio Iglesias and Dolly Parton)

I wanna feel this way
Longer than time
I wanna know your dreams
And make them mine

I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel your pain
I know what’s beautiful
Looking at you
Here in a world of lies
You are the true

(Chorus)
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Anything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything’s easy now
I have you here

(Repeat Chorus)

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

(Repeat Chorus)

------------------------------------------

YOU'VE GOT A WAY
(Shania Twain)

(Anyway you want me)
You've got a way with me
Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I've gotta say, you really got a way

(Anyway you want me)
You've got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means
Can't you see... you got a way with me

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

(Anyway you want me)
You've got a way with words
You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

Oh, how I adore you
Like no one before you
I love you just the way you are

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

(Anyway you want me)
It's just the way you are...

The Wrong Band by Tori Amos

I think it's perfectly clear
we're in the wrong band
Ginger is always sincere
just not to one man
she called me up and she said
you know that I'm drowning
it's the dog trainer again
he says that he thinks that she needs more hands

I think it's perfectly clear
we're in the wrong band
Senator let's be sincere
as much as we can
he called her up and he said
the new prosecutor soon will be wanting a word
so she's got a soft spot for heels and spurs
and there's something believin in her voice again
said there's something believin
instead of just leavin

And she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man
I think it's perfectly clear
we're in the wrong band
Heidi says she'll be sincere
as much as she can
I called her up and I said
you know that I'm drowning
put on your raincoat again
cause even the sun's got a price on it
and there's something believin in her voice again
said there's something believin
instead of just leavin

She said it's time I open my eyes
don't be afraid to open your eyes
maybe she's right
maybe she's right
maybe she's right
maybe she's right

Crumblin' Down


Some people ain't no damn good
You can't trust 'em, you can't love em
No good deed goes unpunished
And I don't mind being their whipping boy
I've had that pleasure for years and years
No, no I never was a sinner-tell me what else can I do
Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend these rules
Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall
They're waiting outside-to claim my crumblin' walls

Saw my picture in the paper
Read the news around my face
And now some people
Don't want to treat me the same

When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy
That I'm uneducated and my opinion means nothin'
But I know I'm a real good dancer
Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after
Everybody's got their problems-ain't no new news here
I'm the same old trouble you've been having for years
Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl,
'Cause it's perfectly clear

Just a human desire to have you come near
Want to put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me You can break me
But you better stand clear

When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

Cherry Bomb


Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethin´ doin´
Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
Stopped by to see me every once in a while
When I think back about those days
All I can do is sit and smile

CHORUS:
That´s when sport was a sport
And groovin´ was groovin´
And dancin´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin´
Laughin´ laughin´ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin´ baby
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpin´
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

The winter days they last forever
And the weekends went by so quick
We ridin´ around this little country town
We were goin´ nuts, girl, out in the stick
One night me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say
Remember when

CHORUS:
That´s when sport was a sport
And groovin´ was groovin´
And dancin´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin´
Laughin´ laughin´ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin´ baby
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpin´
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

Seventeen has turned thirty-five
I´m surprised that we´re still livin´
If we´ve done any wrong
I hope that we´re forgiven
Got a few kids on my own
And some days I still don´t know
What to do
I hope that they´re not laughtin´ too
Loud, when they hear me talkin´ like This to you

CHORUS:
That´s when sport was a sport
And groovin´ was groovin´
And dancin´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin´
Laughin´ laughin´ with our friends
Holding hands meant so much baby
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpin´
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

A SUMMER SONG
Chad & Jeremy


Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by

Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I

Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
And dream of you

"In The End"


(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time

when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time

when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

Fallin'


I keep on fallin' in
And out of love with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Loving you darling
Makes me so confused

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

Oh oh oh I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Cuz when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin'
Back in love with you

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin'

I keep on fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

I'm fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

I'm fallin' in and out of love with you
I never loved someone the way that I love you

And It Won't Change You I Can Tell.

Anyway, I Love You
Everyday I Get More Sure
Anyway, I Love You
More And More And More And More
And More.

I Have So Much I Can Offer You
More To Please You With Than Most.
But Trying To Tie You Down Is Harder
Than
Trying To Hold On To A Ghost.

Uninspired by 8stops7
Took a drive up the coast for the first time
Where the cities are few and far between
Found redemption, the street signs bearing my name
And direction, the last thing on my mind

Cuz I fell once again for believing
And in faith, I began to drive
I left my home to search for a feeling
That I'd lost that must have died. I must have died

I've been feeling uninspired
Battered and...broken tired C
uz there's many things I've never learned
or even decided...What I'm ready to serve

Falling asleep, the back of my car
Who'd have believed I could get this far
Now all of my friends have lost the defense
Doesn't make much sense...I don't need sense

The Becoming by NIN
i beat my machine
it's a part of me
it's inside of me
i'm stuck in this dream
it's changing me
i am becoming

the me that you know he had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
the me that you know he doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore

all pain disappears
it's the nature of
of my circuitry
drowns out all i hear
there's no escape from this
my new consciousness

the me that you know he used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when i'm right with you i'm so far away

i can try to get away but i've strapped myself in
i can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
i can see it killing away all of my bad parts
i don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me
i feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter
i might just slip away

it won't give up it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up it wants me dead

Ballad of The Alamo
written by Dimitri Tiompkin & P.F. Webster

In the southern part of Texas, in the town of San Antone,
there's a fortress all in ruin that the weeds have overgrown.
You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a one,
but sometime between the setting and the rising of the sun
you can hear a ghostly bugle as the men go marching by;
you can hear them as they answer to that roll call in the sky:
Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett and a hundred eighty more;
Captain Dickenson, Jim Bowie, present and accounted for.

Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis,
"Get some volunteers and go - fortify the Alamo."
Well, the men came from Texas and from old Tennessee,
and they joined up with Travis just to fight for the right to be free.

Indian scouts with squirrel guns, men with muzzle loaders
stood together heel and toe to defend the Alamo.
"You may never see your loved ones," Travis told them that day,
"those that want to can leave now, those who'll fight to the death, let 'em stay."

In the sand he drew a line with his army saber,
and out of a hundred eighty five, not a soldier crossed the line.
With his banners a-dancin' in the dawn's golden light,
Santa Anna came prancin' on a horse that was black as the night.

He sent an officer to tell Travis to surrender.
Travis answered with a shell and a rousin' rebel yell.
Santa Anna turned scarlet; "Play Degüello," he roared,
"I will show them no quarter, everyone will be put to the sword."

One hundred and eighty five holdin' back five thousand,
five days, six days, eight days, ten; Travis held and held again,
then he sent for replacements for his wounded and lame,
but the troops that were comin' - never came.

Twice he charged, then blew recall, and on the fatal third time,
Santa Anna breached the wall and he killed them one and all.
Now the bugles are silent and there's rust on each sword,
and the small band of soldiers lie asleep in the arms of The Lord.

In the southern part of Texas, in the town of San Antone,
like a statue on his Pinto rides a cowboy all alone,
and he sees the cattle grazin' where a century before
Santa Anna's guns were blazin' and the cannons used to roar,
and his eyes turn sort of misty, and his heart begins to glow,
and he takes his hat off slowly to the men of Alamo...
to the thirteen days of glory at the seige of Alamo.

That Kind of Love
Alison Krauss

Who would sell their soul for love?
Or waste one tear on compromise?
Should be easy now
To know a heart ache in disguise.

But the heart rules the mind,
And the going gets rough.
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love.

I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost that place inside
Where my heart knew it's way
And my soul was ever-wise.

Once innocense was lost,
There was not faith enough.
Still my heart held on
When it found that kind of love.

Though beauty is rare enough, still, we trust
Somehow we'll find it there.
With no gaurentee, it seemed to me,
At least it should be fair.

But if it's only tears and pain,
Isn't it still worth the cost?
Like some sweet saving grace,
Or a river we must cross.

If we don't understand
What this life is made of
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love.

'Cause, when innocense is lost,
There is not faith enough.
We learn the truth
When we find that kind love.

Kisses In The Moonlight
George Benson


Oh, what a night
Now don’t you feel like flyin’
Everything’s right
You can’t blame me for tryin’

Love, look up there
The stars are all aligned
Now don’t you think it’s time, ho, ho, ho

Closer to me
I want to feel your breathing permanently
‘Cause darling, I’m not leaving here
Till I get what I’ve been waiting for
Some twenty-five or more
That’s all I need, oh

Kisses in the moonlight, sugar
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Most of our days
We get so busy runnin’
Lost in a maze
We’ve got no time for fun and dreams

Every now and then
A dream is real
And this is how it feels, yeah, yeah

For once in your life
Forget about tomorrow
Tonight is the night
Our worries seems so far away

You’ll hold me in your arms
So tenderly
I only want a taste
Of your sweet, sweet, ooh

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me
Oh, fly away with me

Don’t let this night end right now
‘Cause in your arms is where I need to be
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Kisses in the moonlight
And you know
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, hey
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, ho, baby, ho
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Oh, kisses in the moonlight

Don McLean - Vincent

Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer’s day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land
Now, I understand what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps, they’ll listen now

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violent haze, reflecting Vincent’s eyes that shine of blue,
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps, they’ll listen now

For they could not love you but still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life as lovers often do
But, I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
Like the strangers that you’ve met
The ragged men in ragged clothes,
The silver thorn, the bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They’re not listening still
Perhaps, they never will


Don McLean - Castles in the Air

And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
I've got a dream I want the world to share in
Castle walls just lead me to despair

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
I'm asking you, to say my last goodbye
The love we knew, ain't worth another try

Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

Oh, but how can words express the feel of sunlight
In the morning in the hills away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife
I'm city born but I love the country life
For I can not be part of her Cocktail-Generation Partner's Waltz,
Devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out, I need a second chance

Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
I've got a dream I want the world to share in
Castle walls just lead me to despair

Bleed by COld

i'm feeling crossed, take it inside
burn up the pain, my thoughts are strange
just like the things i used to know
just like the tree that fell, i heard it
if art is still inside i feel it

i wanna bleed show the whoile world all that i have inside
(i wanna show you all the pain...)
i wanna scream let the blood flow that keeps me alive
(i wanna make you feel the same...)

take all these strings, they call my veins
wrap them around, every ****ing thing
presence of people not for me
well i must remain in tune forever
my love is music life I will marry melody

i wanna bleed show the world all that i have inside
(i wanna show you all the pain...)
i wanna scream let the blood flow that keeps me alive
(i wanna make you feel the same...)
I said
i wanna bleed
i wanna feel
(show you all the pain...)
i wanna scream
i wanna feel
(make you feel the same...)

won't you let me take you for a ride
you can stop the world, try to change my mind
won't you let me show you how it feels
you can stop the world, but you won't change me
i need music
i need music
to set me free
to let me bleed

Utopia
by Alanis Morissette

we'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement

we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
open and reach out and speak up

This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimate

we'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets

we would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion

we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen

we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe

this is utopia this is my utopia
this is my ideal my end in sight
utopia this is my utopia
this is my nirvana
my ultimate

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
(originally by Wayne Cochran in '62)


Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road straight ahead,
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right,
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screaming tires, the busting glass,
The painful scream that I heard last.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up, the rain was falling down,
There were people standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said;
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Triple Shot Thursday; Gary Lewis and The Playboys Increase Your PM Length

Save Your Heart For Me




Walk along the lake with someone new
Have yourself a summer fling or two
But remember I'm in love with you and
Save your heart for me

When the summer moon is on the rise
And you're dancin' under starlit skies
Please don't let stars get in your eyes, just
Save your heart for me

When you're all alone, far away from home
Someone's gonna flirt with you-ou
I won't think it's wrong if you play along
Just don't fall for someone new

When the autumn winds begin to blow
And the summertime is long ago
You'll be in my arms again I know, so
Save your heart for me
Darlin', save your heart for me



Please remember I'm in love with you so
Save your heart for me
Darlin', save your heart for me
---------------------------------------------------------------------



She's Just My Style


Ev'ry time I see her she don't even look my way
Maybe she will notice me but then what would I say?
I would say what's on my mind
But the words are hard to find
But I'm gonna try to tell her anyway

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

Other guys who meet her may not think she's much to see
I can't begin to tell you what she always does to me
Maybe it's the clothes she wears
Or the way she combs her hair
Oh that makes me want to tell her that I care

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?



Maybe it's the clothes she wears
Or the way she combs her hair
Oh that makes me want to tell her that I care

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
(Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
(Don'tcha know that she's) just my style?
Ev'rything about her) drives me wild
FADE
(Don'tcha know that she's) fine so fine?

THE LOSER (WITH A BROKEN HEART)


Have I got the right to call myself a man
Or will I go livin' up to my name again?
When I get the chance to love I let it pass
It's not the first I lost & it won't be the last

CHORUS:
'Cause I'm a (loser) with a broken heart
(Loser) tearin' me apart
(Loser) & The Loser is my name

When I use my heart just like a stepping stone
& when it's torn apart I feel so all alone
Feelin' sorry for myself is all I do
Things don't ever turn out like I want 'em to

(chorus)

I'm not asking much from love
Not expecting much from love
If just once I could win
I could fall in love again

In the end I know that I will always choose
I have only one direction I can choose:
Stay & let me treat her like the fool I am
Have I got the right to call myself a man?

'Cause I'm a (loser) with a broken heart
(Loser) tearin' me apart (loser)
...& fade
