Triple Shot Thursday; Seals and Croft Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

DIAMOND GIRL

Diamond Girl - you sure do shine
Glad I found you - glad you're mine
Oh my love you're like a precious stone
Part of earth where heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime you're like a shinin' star
And how could I shine without you
When it's about you that I am

Diamond Girl - roamin' wild
Such a rare thing - radiant child
I could never find another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
Can't you feel the whole world's a-turnin'
We are real and we are a-burnin'
Diamond Girl now that I've found you
It's around you that I am

Diamond Girl - you sure do shine
Diamond Girl - you sure do shine
Diamond Girl - you sure do shine
Diamond Girl - you sure do shine
--------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMER BREEZE

See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everythings alright

CHORUS:
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor

Repeat chorus

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world

See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Repeat chorus
--------------------------------------------------------------------

We May Never Pass This Way Again

Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'.
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.

Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.

So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you.
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend. Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end.
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby.

We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.

Hmm, been awhile since I added some songs, so... Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Time to go back to the early 70s, when they could REALLY write em.

I'm Your Captain
By Grand Funk Railroad

Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Although I'm feeling mighty sick.
I've been lost now, days uncounted,
And it's months since I've seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Or am I all alone.
If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth.
Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it.
So, please don't take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...
I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And it's tightening, around my throat.
Heaven help me, Heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Although I'm feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
Ohhhh ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...

Another from the same band... Suffering from ads?

Just to prove they wern't a one hit wonder...

We're An American Band
By Grand Funk Railroad

On the road for forty days,
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze.
Sweet, sweet Connie -- doin' her act,
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact.
Up all night with Freddy King,
I got to tell you poker's his thing.
A-booze 'n ladies keep me right,
As long as we can make it to the show tonight.
CHORUS
We're an American band.
We're an American band.
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down.
We're an American band.
Four young chaquitas in Omaha,
Was waitin' for the band to return from the show.
Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night,
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight.
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan,
They was out to meet the boys in the band.
They said, "Come on, dudes, let's get it on,"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down.
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo.
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo.
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo.

And one more makes three... Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

And I'll close out with Ozzy's song for the Queen...

Paranoid
By Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but (it's/I'm) too late

Forever Young

- Rod Stewart


May the good life be with you
down every road you roam,
And may sunshine and happiness surround
you when you're far from home.

May you grow to be proud, dignified, and true,
And do unto others as you'd have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave,
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young... (Forever young)
Forever young... (Forever young).

May good fortune be with you and
may your guiding light be strong,
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond.

And may you never love in vain,
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young (Forever young)
Forever young (Forever young)
Forev--er young... Forev--er young.

When you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well,
For all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell,
But whatever road you choose,
I'm right behind you win or lose.
Forever young (Forever young)
Forever young (Forever young)
Forev--er young
For, for--ever young
Forever young.

Increase Your PM Length

A favorite of mine.

Mr. Bojangles
Words and music by Jeff Walker

I knew a man Bojangles
And he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes

With silver hair a ragged shirt
And baggy pants
He did the old soft shoe

He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he lightly touch down

Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a step

He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick across the cell
He grabbed his pants a better stance, oh, he jumped up high, he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around

Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Aw, dance

He danced for those
Minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the South.

He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he
They would travel about.

But his dog up and died
He up and died
And after twenty years he still grieves

He said "I dance now
At every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips

But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit"

Then he shook his head
And as he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone asking please

Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Ah, dance

I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you

Watching The Detectives - Elvis Costello

Nice girls not one with the defects cellophane shrink wrapped so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs she looks so good that he gets down and begs

She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute she's watching the detectives
Oh and they shoot

They beat him up until the tear drops start but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign invisible shivers running Cut the baby taking off her clothes close up of the sign that says we never close
You snatch a tune you match a cigarette she pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake

She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives and they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives oh as they shoot, shoot, shoot

They beat him up until the teardrops start but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Our fear is here to stay love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
There's someone scratching at the window I wonder who is it
The detectives come and check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughters disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away
She's, she's watching oh she's watching oh
She's watching the detectives oh and they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh and they shoot
she's watching the detectives oh as they shoot, shoot, shoot


Horse With No Name - America

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Long Day
by matchbox twenty

It's sitting by the overcoat,
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away...
And also...
Reach, she said, for no one else but you,
'Cause you won't turn away
When someone else is gone

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this **** from me...
And I'm so
Terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away
It's me...yeah, I can't get myself to go away
It's me...and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way

[chorus]

Reach down your hand in your pocket,
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day...always, ain't that right...
And no Lord your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling--
It's been a long day, always, ain't that right...

Well, I'm surprised that you'd believe
In any thing that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so
Set in life man, a pisser, they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long...

(chorus)

It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way

The Yellow Rose Of Texas
-was # 1 for 6 weeks in 1955



There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her we never more will part

CHORUS
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me.



Where the *Rio* Grande is flowin', and starry skies are bright
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night
I know that she remembers when we parted long ago
I promised to return and not to leave her so

CHORUS



Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe
We'll do the things together we did so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore

CHORUS

LOST IN THE FIFTIES TONIGHT (In the Still Of the Night)
Ronnie Milsap



Close your eyes,Baby
Follow my heart
Call on the memories
Here in the dark
We'll let the magic
Take us away
Back to the feelings
We shared when they played

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin, hold me tight
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

These precious hours
We know can't survive
But loves all that matters
While the past is alive
Now and for always
Till time disappears
We'll hold each other
Whenever we hear

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin, hold me tight
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

UP WHERE WE BELONG
(Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes)

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know, is the way I feel
When it’s real, I keep my pray alive

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb steps every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to "used-to-be"
Live their lives locking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives, out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb steps every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life’s you and I, alive, baby

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl my lord in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we may never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know of your sweet love is gonna save me

"Keeping My Faith In You"

I just love how long we've known each other
And I know you care about me
But I can't tell just where your life is going
You've been quite a mystery
You've got all of these brand new friends
They keep taking your confidence

But I'm keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
You've been worried, puzzled, surrounded by your trouble
But I'm keeping my faith in you

We all cried when your first bow was taken
No one could be prouder of you
But I care more about your heart if it's aching
If I'm your friend, what else can I do?
But those people who hang around
They keep bringing your spirit down

But I'm keeping my faith in you, yeah
Deep in my heart of hearts
If anyone can do it
I know you'll get through it
So I'm keeping my faith in you

I've known you ever since way back when
And I know you, you don't want to change, my friend
But you're under pressure, like no one could imagine
It's not a good time that you've been having
But you're a real strong brother, and I know you'll recover
So I'm keeping my faith in you

Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
If anyone can do it
I know you'll get through it
So I'm keeping my faith in you

Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts

You've been worried, puzzled
Surrounded by big trouble
But I'm keeping my faith in you

Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you

Antifreeze - "Is He Your Boyfriend?"

You were in the second row, I saw you at one of our shows
You were different from every other girl
Maybe it was the way that you smiled when I sang or announced a song title
Thoughts were spinning in my head; you & me, deep wishes, and denial

And I don't know why, the way you looked at me
I thought you were thinking the same as me
And when our set was done, I went to find my true love
But you were with the singer of the other band.

I saw you hold his hand, yes that guy from the other band
Right then I knew he was your boyfriend
I'll never understand, and if I did I wouldn't comprehend
Why you gave me that look when I was up there with my own band

And I don't know why, why you turned away
I thought you were thinking the same as me
And when I looked for you I found you in his Subaru
You were with the the singer... of the other band.

I saw you... hold his hand
Yes that guy, yeah that guy from the other band

I saw you... kiss his cheek
Yes that guy, yeah that guy, is he your boyfriend?

I saw you... I saw you...
With that guy, yeah that guy, please tell me, I'll understand...

Blondie - Dreaming

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure;
"A movie or a measure"?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming

Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free

I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Real to real is living rarity
People stop and stare at me
We just walk on by
We just keep on dreaming

Feet, feet, walking a two mile
Meet, meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own;
something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold
Just to have some dreaming

Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free

Pleasant Valley Sunday
The Monkees

Your local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn this song
To serenade the weekend squire
Just came out to mow his lawn

Another pleasant valley Sunday
Charcoal burnin everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green he's so serene
He's got a TV in every room

Another pleasant valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain
About how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
I need a change of scenery

(Ta ta ta ta....)

Another pleasant valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another pleasant valley Sunday (repeat)

Time Marches On
Tracy Lawrence


Sister cries out from her baby bed
Brother runs in feathers on his head
Momma's in her room learning how to sew
Daddy's drinking beer, listening to the radio
Hank Williams sings "Kaw Liga" and "Dear John"
And time marches on, time marches on
Sister's using rouge and clear complexion soap
Brother's wearing beads and he smokes alot of dope
Momma is depressed, barely makes a sound
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town
Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone"
And time marches on, time marches on

Bridge
The south moves north, the north moves south
A star is born, a star burns out
The only thing that stays the same is
Everything changes, everything changes
Sister calls herself "Sexy Grandma"
Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol
Momma's out of touch with reality
Daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree
As the angels sind an old Hank Williams song

Time marches on, Time marches on
Time marches on, Time marches on
Time marches on, Time marches on

The Beatles - Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comforts me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be


The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Put an end to popups!

10's by Pantera

My skin is cold, transfusion with somebody, morose and
old, drop into fruitless dying
It was tempting and bared, the whoring angel rising
Now burning prayers, my silent time of losing

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

Long for the blur, we cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt, disgusted with my cheapness

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

Reaching down, staring up (at the forgiver)

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

No You Don't by NIN

smiling in their faces
while filling up the hole
so many dirty little places
in your filthy little worn out broken down see through soul

baby's got a problem
tries so hard to hide
got to keep it on the surface
because everything else is dead on the other side

teeth in the necks of everyone you know
you can keep on sucking 'til the blood won't flow
when it starts to hurt it only helps it grow
taking all you need
(but not this time)
no, you don't

and just for the record
just so you know
i did not believe
that you could sink so low

you think that you can beat them
i know that you won't
you think you have everything
but no, you don't

no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't

Two For Tuesday; Bryan Adams Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Glad to see you back, D.M.



Summer of '69


I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Straight From The Heart


I could start dreamin' but it'd never end
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
Straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Comin' straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go - as long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart
I'll see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall outta line
While we're dreamin'
Straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go - as long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

One of the most beautiful and uplifting songs I've ever heard:

Iona - Lindisfarne

Slow-rising mists enfolding the land
Seawater shifts on a bed of sand
A forest of kelp dances
Beneath its motion
The water moves
With the tides of the ocean

And here we are
We have come this far
To say a prayer
On Lindisfarne

Here in the rock
Bathed in a gentle glow
The golden half-light
Of the setting sun
A shadow of wings
Flying fast and low
Out of my sight
Into the distance gone

And here we are
We have come this far
To say a prayer
On Lindisfarne

Hey Big Brother
Rare Earth


(Chorus)
Hey big brother,
as soon as you arrive,
you better get in touch with the people, big brother,
and get them on your side, big brother,
and keep them satisfied.

Welcome to the beat of the city street,
walk on now and don't be shy.
Take a closer look at the people you meet,
and notice the fear in their eyes,
watching the time passing by.

(Chorus)

Focus your eye on the filthy sky,
just as far as you can see.
Everybody's gettin' kind of tired of waitin'
cos' nobody wants to cry,
and nobody wants to die.

(Chorus)

Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?
Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?

How could we have a song lyrics thread without what was recently voted the best song ever? (Which featured, of course, in the best movie ever made.)

Judy Garland - Somewhere Over The Rainbow (from The Wizard of Oz)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

But if it's too easy

And isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's bus'ness
It's everybody's game

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

Some Cinderella kid

You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

Who do you want?

And who is it really
Makin' up your mind?

You wanna listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood
Listen to your

Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'

Don't it get you movin'

Whenever I Call You "Friend"
Kenny Loggins (and Stevie Nicks)

Whenever I call you "Friend", I begin to think I understand
Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, ever and ever
I see myself within your eyes, and that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do always takes me home to you, ever and ever
'N now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day, we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on
Chorus:
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light, never seen such a beautiful sight
See love glowin' on us every night, I know forever we'll be doin' it
chorus... right
Whenever I call you "Friend", I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are, you and I were meant to be, forever and ever
I think about the times to come, knowin' I will be the lucky one
And ever our love will last, I always want to call you "Friend"
chorus
(Instrumental break)
An' now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day
We can see, in every moment there's a reason to carry on
chorus repeats 2x - doin' it, doin' it
Sweet love (repeats out)...
(You're the glowin' light in my life, source of pride in my life)
(Everything I do takes me back to you, whenever I call you friend...

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

MY MUSIC
Loggins & Messina

Do do do ...

Hey little girl won't you meet me at the schoolyard gate
I got back stage passes to the biggest show in town
So honey don't you make me late
If we leave really early and we hurry we can get in with the band
'Cause little Tim Smitty's got his old man's van
So let's get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
And roll with the rythm tonight

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

Hey little girl want to dance with you all night long
The music got me buzzin' and I feel pretty loose
I feel the rythm and it's comin' on strong baby baby
Lay the rythm on me baby, there's power in the sound
With everybody jumpin' we can bring the house down
So lets get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
And roll with the rythm tonight

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

(solo)

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my

Do do do ...

Love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

Just d/led this - I know I shouldn't, but I really wanted to know what the second album would be like - and believe me, this song is great.


Dido - Afraid To Sleep

We slept in this room together, but now you're gone
It's so quiet I'll turn the TV on
We lived in this room together, we painted the walls
Now time doesn't stand still, it crawls

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.

I never realized how much I was in love with you
Till you started sleeping with someone new
Last night I dreamed again and you were there
You kissed my face, you touched my hair

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.

Lyin' alone in the darkness with a memory in my head,
There's a big hole where my heart is
And a lonely feeling rolling 'round my bed

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.
On the pillow where I'll weep.

I'm afraid to sleep.
