(Carly Simon)


TOUCHED BY THE SUN

If you want to be brave
And reach for the top of the sky
And the farthest point on the horizon
Do you know who you'll meet there
Great soldiers and seafarers,
Artists and dreamers
Who need to be close, close to the light
They need to be in danger of burning by fire
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun

Often I want to walk
The safe side of the street
And lull myself to sleep
And dull my pain
But deep down inside I know
I've got to learn from the greats,
Earn my right to be living,
Let my wings of desire
Soar over the night
I need to let them say
"She must have been mad"
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun

I've got to learn from the greats,
Earn my right to be living,
With every breath that I take,
Every heartbeat
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun.

---------------------------------
NOBODY DOES IT BETTER


Nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest,
nobody does it half as good as you, Baby, you're the best.
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me.
I tried to hide from your love light,
but like heaven above me, the spy who loved me,
is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.

Nobody does it better, sometimes I wish someone could.
Nobody does it quite the way you do. Did you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me,
there's some kind of magic inside you,
that keeps me from runnin', but just keep it comin',
how'd you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, baby, baby you're the best!

The Red Strokes
Garth Brooks

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they're painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It's a true work of art

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can't command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this




You Move Me
Garth Brooks

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee

So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground

But you move me
You give me courage I didn't
know I had
You move me on
I can't go with you
And stay where I am
So you move me on

This is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin' what they mean

And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch

Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I'm burning with love
And with hope and desire
How you move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Oh 'cause you move me
You get me dancing and you
make me sing
You move me
Now I'm taking delight
In every little thing
How you move me

[b]The Way You Like it by adema[b]

I?ll get inside you
I?ll get inside you
Don?t live in shame
?Cause feelings change
And fame remains
The reason why you?re gonna wanna take me home tonight
It?s all the same
Up in this game
But people change
The money claims
Everyone from everything
I can?t believe that you would think that **** of me
I was amazed at the torment that you put me through
If you could see
Right through the greed
And all your needs
You?d realize that you?re just about as bad as me

Sometimes I only remember
The days when I was young
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
The way you like it
Come on baby
Help me someone to confide in
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay

My life has changed
But **** the fame
I?ll stay the same
You can?t complain when you can pay the bills and do your thing
Appreciate
Don?t playa hate
Congratulate
I miss the pain and the torment that you put me through
So what?s to fear when everything is crystal clear
You realize that you should do the things you wanna do
Don?t give into
What people say
Don?t be ashamed
To separate the feelings on your mind you can?t sedate

Sometimes I only remember
The days when I was young
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
The way you like it
Come on baby
Help me someone to confide in
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay
I?ll get inside you

They would always say I?d never be ****
You would always say I?d never be ****
But look at me now, look at me now!

I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay
The way you like it!

Sometimes I only remember
The days when I was young
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
The way you like it
Come on baby
Help me someone to confide in
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay
I?ll get inside you

Sometimes I only remember
The days when I was young
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
The way you like it
Come on baby
Help me someone to confide in
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay
I?ll get inside you
Now you?re begging me to stay

The way you like it

SING A SONG

When you feel down and out
Sing a song, it'll make your day
Here's a time to shout
Sing a song, it'll make a way
Sometimes it's hard to care
Sing a song, it'll make your day
A smile so hard to bear
Sing a song, it'll make a way

Bring your heart to believing
Sing a song, it'll make your day

Smile, smile smile and believe
Sing a song, it'll make a way

Songs from The Simpsons

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robs cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do! We do!


Whether igloo, hut, or lean-to
or a geodesic dome.
There's no structure I have been to
which I'd rather call my home...

When I first arrived you were all such jerks,
But now I've come to loooove your quirks.
Maggie with her eyes so bright.
Marge with hair by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Lisa can philosophize,
Bart's adept at spinning lies.
Homer's a delightful fella,
Sorry 'bout the salmonella.

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
Now here's the tricky part.
Oh won't you rhyme with me?
Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart...
(Marge) The floors are sticky-mart!
(Lisa) They make Dad sicky-mart!
(Bart) Let's hurl a bricky-mart!
(Homer) That Kwik-E-Mart is really... DOH!!

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
I dooooooo.

Cool, Clear Water

I want to feel my earth turn over,baby
In this hardened winter ground
Feel my earth turn over, darlin'
Till' I'm rootless and unbound
I want to feel my body tremble
When there's no one else around
Just this cool, clear water runnin'
In this love that I've found

Hey baby
See how it can be
Every time you reveal yourself to me
I'll come runnin'

I want to feel myself go under,baby
Where the deepest river bleeds
I want to feel it pull me under,darlin'
Until it drops me to my knees
I want to know that I can find you
When there's no more eyes to see
In this cool, clear water runnin'
You'll come runnin' to me

hey baby
All my life I have known there's something more
A love to blind me like the sun
Deep in dreams, I will wash upon your shore
Now I know that you're the one

When I feel my baby callin'
It's like a whisperin And when the softest rain is fallin', darlin'
I will crumble in your hand
And when all that's left is wonder
And no need to understand
Well this cool, clear water runnin'
Will be all that I am...

Hopelessly out of season, but it makes me feel happy


So This is Christmas
Originally by John Lennon, but the Corrs do a damn good version

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so Happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so Happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

If You Want To Get To Heaven


HARP INTRO)

I never read it in a book
I never saw it on a show
but I heard it in the alley
on a weird radio
if you want a drink of water
you got to get it from a well
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell

I never felt it in my feet
I never felt it in my soul
but I heard it the alley
now it's in my rock and roll
if you want to know a secret
you got to promise not to tell
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell

(HARP SOLO)

(GUITAR SOLO)

I never thought it'd be so easy
I never thought it'd be so fun
but I heard it in the alley
now I got it on the run
if you want to see an angel
you got to find it where it fell
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell

(GUITARS & HARP STUFF)

if you want to get to heaven
if you want to get to heaven
if you want to get to heaven
if you want to get to heaven

What's Happened Along In My Life


I've been sittin' today, looking out over my land
a home of my own, I'm so lucky for all that I have
if ev'ry one I knew, could feel the way I do...

I'm so amazed at what's happened along in my life
I don't deserve all the right turns along the way
if ev'ry one could see, the smile you've put on me...

I'm so amazed you just happened along in my life
I really like the way it feels with you
and I really think our love will slide on through

(GUITAR SOLO)

(do-do-do-doo...)
(do-do-ee-doo...)
(do-do-do-doo...)
(do-do-ee-doo...)
(do-do-do-doo...)
(do-do-do-doo...)
(do-do-do-ee-doo...)
(doo-e-dooo-e-doo...)

(do-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o-e-o...)

I've been makin' some friends, and oh what good friends they are
like brothers and sisters, they've made my life richer by far
as time slowly rolls on, we'll keep on singin' songs


I'm so amazed at what's happened along in my life

(GUITAR SOLO)

Jackie Blue


GUITAR SOLO INTRO)

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
lives her life from inside of a room
hides that smile when she's wearin' a frown
ooh jackie, you're not so down

you like your life in a free-form style
you'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
there never seems to be quite enough
floating around to fill your lovin' cup

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
what's a game, girl, if you never lose
ask a winner and you'll prob'bly find
ooh jackie, they've lost at sometime

don't try to tell me that you're not aware
of what you're doing and that you don't care
you say it's easy, just a nat'ral thing
like playing music but you never sing

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
making wishes that never come true
going places where you've never been
ooh jackie, you're going again

(GUITAR SOLO)

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
likes a dream that can never come true
making love is like siftin' through sand
ooh jackie, it slips through your hand

ev'ry day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sun set but I don't see it rise
moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
you'd take the world but you won't take the time

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
lives her life from inside of a room
makes you think that her life is a drag
ooh jackie, what fun you have had

ooh jackie, ooh jackie
ooh jackie, ooh jackie
hey, hey, hey, hey

Triple Shot Thursday - Vonda Shepard Suffering from ads?

No prizes for guessing who watched Ally McBeal this afternoon...

Searching My Soul

I've been down this road walkin' the line
That's painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can't hide
Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring
Got myself together, now I'm ready to sing
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home

One by one, the chains around me unwind
Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind

Oh, I've been thinking of you for a long time
There's a side of my life where I've been blind and so...

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to ife
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home

Baby I been holding back now my whole life
I've decided to move on now
Gonna leave all my worries behind

Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to give
Got myself together now I'm ready to live

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home


Tell Him

I know something about love
You've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him

If you want him to be the very part of you
That makes you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

I know something about love
You gotta show him it and make him
See that moon up above
Reach out and get it

If you want him to
Make your heart sing out
And if you want him to
Only think of you

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

Ever since the world began it's been that way
For woman and man were created
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love be so complicated? Oh

I know something about love
You gotta take it and
Show him what the world is made of
One kiss will prove it

If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride and
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now


Someone You Use

Just a shoulder to cry on
That's all I've been to you
Just someone to rely on
When your world is empty and blue

I'm just someone you call dear
Anytime you choose
I'm someone you run to
Someone you use

I'm just someone to talk to
And that's all I'll ever be
Just a clown you can laugh with
Someone to treat as you need

I'm just a fool you can love on
Any time you choose
I'm just someone you run to
Someone you use

I'm just someone you run to
I'm just someone you use
Don't you know when you need me
My little heart just can't refuse

I'm just someone who loves you, baby
I can't win and I can't lose
I'm just someone you run to
I'm just someone you use

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

When I Close My Eyes
by Kenny Chesney

There's so many things
I didn't say
And even though
It may be too late
I want you to know
I still love you so
Every car I meet
Looks like your car
Every movie I see
You play the leading part
You're on my mind
Can't leave you behind

When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes

In my mind I know
You're far away
But here in my heart
Nothing has changed
I'm still holdin' you
Like I used to
On a busy street
In a crowded room
Wherever I go
It's just me and you
Together again
Girl it never ends

When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes

You're always there
When I close my eyes

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

One Day Closer To You
by Carolyn Dawn Johnson

My married friends keep asking
When I'll settle down.
They tell me time is passing
And there's not too many good ones still around
I tell them I am not afraid to be alone
And there's no need to rush
Into something wrong.

So I'm not gonna worry
No I'm in no hurry
It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
And it might be tomorrow
Or the one that follows
I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
Cause every day is one day closer to you

You might be in Montana, living in the hills
Or you might be in Virginia, working in the mill
All I know is that I haven't found you yet
And who knows
Maybe we've already met

So I'm not gonna worry
No I'm in no hurry
It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
And it might be tomorrow
Or the one that follows
I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
Cause every day is one day closer to you

Oh everyday I pray that God will keep you safe.
Cause I know you're out there somewhere.

So I'm not gonna worry
No I'm in no hurry
It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
And it might be tomorrow
Or the one that follows
I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
Cause every day is one day closer yeah
everyday is one day closer
everyday is one day closer to you
Hey yeah

Don't You (Forget About Me)
Simple Minds

Won't you come see about me
I'll be alone, dancing --- you know it will be me
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out
Love's strange --- so real in the dark
Think of the tender things
That we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, Baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
Will you stand above me
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me
Call my name
Gonna walk on fire
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Don't you try and pretend
It's my beginning
We'll win in the end
I won't harm you
Or touch your defences
Vanity, insecurity

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing --- you know it, Baby
Going to take you apart
I'll build us back together a heart, Baby
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name
As you walk on by
Will you call my name
When you walk away

Oh, will you walk away
Will walk away
Oh, call my name
Will you call my name

Everywhere I go someone's tryin' to be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playin' castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space
But a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool out of me.

Everybody open you're mouth
Everybody just say Ahhhhh (Ah Ahh Ahh Ahhhhh)
Everything will be all right
If you play along

Everywhere I go there's someone in a trench coat staring at me
When I'm not at home I'm sure someone's rummaging through my trash
Whatever could they want from me
Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash.

Everybody open you're mouth
Everybody just say Ahhhhh (Ah Ahh Ahh Ahhhhh)
Everything will be all right
This won't hurt at all

Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough (cooouuuggghhh)
Everything will be all right
If you just lay off

Dictate a memo to myself
Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there's some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league

Every night at Elaine's someone thinks they have to find beyond me
I try to take three deep breaths as I lock and arm my mini-van
Everyone says I'm looking great
But it's hard to stand-up let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to the man

Everybody open you're mouth
Everybody just say Ahhhhh (Ah Ahh Ahh Ahhhhh)
Everything will be all right
This won't hurt at all

Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough (cooouuuggghhh)
Everything will be all right
If you just lay
Everything will be all right
If you just lay
Everything will be all right
If you just lay off

BAREFOOT FLOORS

Sleep, baby sleep,
I know your day has been oh so long
Sleep, baby sleep,
I know your day has been oh so long
The night falls at your feet
Now the day feels so complete
Compared to darkness
Sleep, baby sleep.

Talk, baby talk
Sweet talk is all it's made of
Talk, baby talk
Sweet talk is all it's made of
Promises of the morning ways,
New beginnings for another
Day to spend together
Talk, baby talk.

Love, baby love
Has got me walkin' on these
Barefoot floors
Love, baby love
Has got me walkin' on these
Barefoot floors
Find the light
Surrounding you
Sleep the night 'til morning's dew
I will be here for you
Love, baby love.

-----------------------
AIN'T IT THE TRUTH

Ain't it the truth
Ain't it the truth, now, baby
Ain't it the truth, now
What I say?

Eat watermelon
Eat peaches and cream
Eat ripe tomatoes
You know what I mean.

Ain't it the truth
Ain't it the truth, now, baby
Ain't it the truth, now
What I say?

Your majesty
Your curvaceousness
Your highness
Your soulfulness.

Make love to me, babe
Make love to me
Make me feel all right, now
Make me feel so good.

--------------------------
HARVEST MOON

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.


--------------------------------
IF I COULD HAVE HER TONIGHT

All of a sudden she was on my mind
I wasn't ready for her kind
And she was taking her time.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?
And if she stayed with me
Do you think that she'd like to do anything
I would, or would she leave me?

Lately I've found myself losing my mind
Knowing how badly I need her
It's something hard to find.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?
And if she stayed with me
Do you think that she'd like to do anything
I would, or would she leave me?

If I could have her tonight
Does she want to go?
Look at those eyes
Does she want it?
If I could have her tonight

If I could have her tonight
If I could have her tonight.


--------------------
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

I've been looking for a woman to save my life
Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice
Who knows how could it be tomorrow?

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
Such a long time now.

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
Such a long time now.

----------------------
WINTERLONG

I waited for you, Winterlong
You seem to be where I belong.
It's all illusion anyway.

If things should ever turn out wrong
And all the love we have is gone,
It won't be easy on that day.

Waiting to follow
Through the dreamlight of your way
Is not so easy for me now.

Half the time has passed away
Things we thought of yesterday
Come back now, come back now.

Waiting to follow
Through the dreamlight of your way
Is not so easy for me now.

Half the time has passed away
Things we thought of yesterday
Come back now, come back now.

I waited for you Winterlong
You seem to be where I belong.

Ordinary Girl - China Forbes

She's literally the polaroid of perfection
She has everything and she'll give it to you in a second
Looks can deceive
She wears her heart on her sleeve
She'll steal you away
And not just for one day
Every day is an ordinary day
In her world she's an ordinary girl

She gets everything she wants with only a little effort
Lipstick and credit cards and a convertible covered in leopard
And not just for one day
Every day is an ordinary day
In her world she's an ordinary girl
Every day is an ordinary day (not just for one day)
In her world she's an ordinary girl

Looks can deceive
She wears her heart on her sleeve
She'll steal you away
And not just for one day
Every day is an ordinary day
In her world she's an ordinary girl

Not just for one day...
In her world she's an ordinary girl
She's an ordinary girl

Dan Seals - Big Wheels In The Moonlight

I came from a town that was so small
You looked both ways you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out
Every evening I'd slip into town
And stand around at the caution light
And watch the big trucks rollin' by
To me it was a beautiful sight
Big wheels in the moonlight

Now, I had a case of wanderlust
I'd lie awake with the windows up
Out on Highway 59
I could hear some big ol' diesel whine
She was goin' through all the gears
And headin' out to who-knows-where
Fell asleep most every night
Dreamin' 'bout big wheels in the moonlight

Chorus
And I want to put my life on the center line
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a piece I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep a-rollin' through my mind

How I got here it's hard to say
So many things got in my way
Can't complain about all I've got
Kids and a wife and a regular job
But at night when I'm settin' here
All alone in my living room chair
Sometimes I close my eyes
And see big wheels in the moonlight

[/I]Chorus 2x[/I]

Yeah, those big old wheels keep a-rollin through my mind
Yeah, those big old wheels keep a-rollin through my mind

Will The Circle Be Unbroken


I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
undertaker please drive slow
for this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home, my home was lonesome
missed my mother, she was gone
all of my brothers, sisters crying
what a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Hope we haven't started another thread for this yet, seeing as this is getting pretty long; but I haven't seen one so I'll put this here for now.

The song probably loses some of its impact if you only read it and don't hear it, but we'll see how this goes.

Anne Murray - A Little Good News

Rolled out this morning, kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talking 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some Senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse, you see; we need a change of policy
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once, how I'd like to see the headline say:
"Not much to print today; can't find nothing bad to say, because

Nobody robbed a liquor store in the lower part of town;
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down;
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain"
I sure could use a little good news today

Come home this evening, I know the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I wanna hear the anchorman talkin' 'bout a county fair
How we cleaned up the air; how everybody learned to care
Oh, tell me

Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
I sure could use a little good news today

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Jon Lord, keyboard player has left Deep Purple. He's most widely known for his intro in Child in Time. Here's a song he has written and performed on the Live at The Royal Albert Hall album.

PICTURED WITHIN (lyrics by Jon Lord)

here be friends...
here be heroes...
here be sunshine...
here be grey...
here be life...
here love lies bleeding...
memories so hazy...
and dreams that drove me crazy

here be down...
here be paradise...
here be starbright...
here be pain...
here be smiles in eyes like rainbows...
my father and my mother...
my sisters and my brother -
pictured within

where there're shadows ill met by moonlight...
there are dragons I have slain...
and here be bright eyes with hair so golden...
sunrise and sunset and running free...
and laughing at the rain

here be home...
here be travellin'...
here be thunder...
here be blue...
and Sometimes heaven and thoughts of wonder...
the Miracle of children...
a poet and a pilgrim

kith and kin - pictured within
lose and win - pictured within

And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
It's in the hands of my love
And my love does it good
My love does it good

And when the cupboards bare
I'll still find something there
With my love
It's understood
It's everywhere with my love

I love oh my love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh....my love oh...my love
Only my love does it good to me

Don't ever ask me why
I never say goodbye to my love

Indian Reservation
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

Wow! What a THREAD...

Great stuff up here (no I won't pretend I read it all...!) So here's some Steinman for you. Wonderful lyricist, composer and playwright. And the source for my sig. I find this one very touching, light in the darkness and all.


The Future Ain't What It Used To Be

Jim Steinman



I never knew so many bad times
They follow me so mercilessly
It's almost surreal
All the pain that I feel
The future ain't what it used to be


It doesn't matter what they're thinking
It doesn't matter what they're thinking of me
It's always so cold
I'm too young to be old
The future ain't what it used to be


Were there ever any stars in the sky?
Did the sun ever shine so bright?
Do you have any dreams I could borrow
Just to get me through the lonely night?
Is there anything left to hold on to
When the rivers wash it all away?
Is there anyone left to hold on to
Is there anything left I can say?


Say a prayer for the falling angels
Stem the tide of the rising waters
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters
The endless night has got a hold of me
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all these tears are washing over me-
And I'm crying, lost forever in a future that ain't what it used to be
No more


It's like a storm that's never ending
It's like a shadow on the land and the sea
There's nothing so sad as a tomorrow gone bad
The future ain't what it used to be


Some days I feel so numb and empty
And those would be the good days for me
Nothing gets to me now unless I'm thinking of how
The future ain't what it used to be
Is there anything left to hold on to
When the rivers wash it all away?
Is there anyone left to hold on to
Is there anything left I can say?


Say a prayer for the falling angels
Stem the tide of the rising waters
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters
The endless night has got a hold of me
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all these tears are washing over me-
And I'm crying, I'm lost forever in a future that ain't what it used to be
No more,
no more,
no more...


The future just ain't what it used to be
It's never gonna be like it was
The future just ain't what it used to be
I wish it wouldn't come,
I wish it wouldn't come,

...but it always does...

Say a prayer for the falling angels
Stem the tide of the rising waters
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters...

Harry Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin

Everybody's talking at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stopping staring,
I can't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone.

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone


Capercaillie - Heart of the Highland

Let the dance begin
Lock away the fine china
And kick up the old stone floor
Where the train divides
Upon Lomondside
Hear the echo from forest to shore
Sailing over deep water
And dancing on air
If you close your eyes
You will be there

Do you dream of a journey
Taking you back to your home
Where the cry from
The heart of the Highland lives on

When the morning breaks
Overground undercover
They're waiting to sound the alarm
Where the jets fly
Look up and wonder now
Could we be easy
Without the armed guard
But the heart beats a river
Flowing all around the world
The call is unspoken never unheard.

Do you dream of a journey
Taking you back to your home
Where the cry from
The heart of the Highland lives on.


Capercaillie - Aodann Srath Bhain

'S mi ri imeachd nam aonar anns an og-mhadaim Mhaigh
Feadh leantaichean uaine mar fhear-fuadain gun stath,
Nuair a chunnaich mi a' ghruagach an taobh shuas dhiom a' tamh
'S i ri nigh' a cuid aodaich mach air aodann Srath Bhain.

An sin dhirich mi suas far 'n robh gruagach mo ghraidh
Is labhair mi rithe gu siobhalta tlath:
"Tha bliadhn' agus corr bhon a thoisich an gradh,
Is ma bhitheas tu deonach ni sinn posadh gun dail.'

"Gu posadh, gu posadh ro og tha mi 'n drasd' -
Gu bheil teang' aig do sheorsa dheanadh fogradh 's gach ait;
Gum biodh m'athair 's mo mhathair gam chaineadh gu brath
Nam posainn do leithid, O fhleasgaich gun stath.'

Ach a nionagan oga tha gun phosadh 's gach ait',
Na diultaibh fir oga le morchuis no tair.
Nach muladach dhomhsa bhith gun phosadh gu brath -
'S fheudar fuireach nam aonar mach air aodann Srath Bhain


Translation - The Slopes of Strath Ban
Walking out early alone on a morning in May
Among green fields, an outcast and purposeless,
I saw a maiden who lived some way above me
As she washed her clothes out on the slopes of Strath Ban.

I then climbed upwards to the maiden I loved
And courteously and mildly I spoke to her:
"It's over a year since our love began,
And if you are willing we shall marry at once."

"Marry? I'm too young to marry just now -
Your sort has tongue that could cause trouble anywhere;
My father and mother would scold me forever more
If I were to marry the likes of you, you feckless young man.'

But you young girls everywhere who are still unmarried,
Don't go turning young men down through pride or contempt.
How sad for me to be unmarried forever more -
I'll have to live alone, out on the slopes of Strath Ban.

THERE'LL BE SAD SONGS TO MAKE YOU CRY


Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
When I'm standing beside you there's a fever burning deep inside.
Is there another in your memory?
Do you think of that someone when you hear that special melody?
I always stop and think of you
Especially when the words of love song touch the very heart of me.
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you, I love you.
I often wonder how it could be you loving me, two hearts in perfect harmony.
I'll count the hours until that day, the rhapsody plays a melody for you and me.
Until the moment that you give your love to me,
You're the one I care for, the one I will wait for.
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you, ooh ooh ooh, oh.
You're my desire, you take me higher.
My love is like a river running so deep.
Until the moment that you give your love to me,
You're the one I care for, the one that I will wait for,
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you. Ah. Ah.
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you, I love you.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Ooh.
Saying I love you. (Spoken) I love you.

Restless Heart - The Bluest Eyes In Texas

That lonesome Texas sun was setting slow
And in the rear view mirror I watched it go.
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes for a moment and I'm still there...

The Bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long?
Oh can I make it right...
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

Another town, another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely, prayin' for the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on..

The Bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long?
Oh can I make it right...
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

For every heart you break you pay a price
But I can't forget the tears in her blue eyes..

The Bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long?
Oh can I make it right...
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

My Eyes Adored You
- Frankie Valli


My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far

Carried your books from school
Playing "make-believe you're married to me"
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways

Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss
And the love I left behind

My eyes adored you
All my life I will remember
Though I never laid a hand on you
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
So close, so close and yet so far
I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you

So close, so close and yet so far

Something To Talk About
Bonnie Raitt

People are talking, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, Darlin'.


I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous,
Could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, Darlin'.

Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

Let's give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

Kudos to the guy for getting to number 22 despite the mass media and radio carefully ignoring the single. I'm buying it ASAP.

Billy Bragg - Take Down The Union Jack

Take down the Union Jack, it clashes with the sunset
And put it in the attic with the emperors old clothes
When did it fall apart? Sometime in the 80s
When the Great and the Good gave way to the greedy and the mean
Britain isn’t cool you know, its really not that great
It's not a proper country, it doesn’t even have a patron saint
It's just an economic union that’s passed its sell-by date

Take down the Union Jack, it clashes with the sunset
And ask our Scottish neighbours if independence looks any good
‘Cos they just might understand how to take an abstract notion
Of personal identity and turn it into nationhood
Is this the 19th century that I’m watching on tv?
The dear old Queen of England handing out those MBEs
Member of the British Empire - that doesn’t sound too good to me

Gilbert and George are taking the piss aren’t they?
Gilbert and George are taking the piss.
What could be more British than here’s a picture of my bum?
Gilbert and George are taking the piss

Take down the Union Jack, it clashes with the sunset
And pile all those history books, but don’t throw them away
They just might have some clues about what it really means
To be an Anglo hyphen Saxon in England.co.uk

John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blueridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusky, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice; in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday,
Yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads . . .
