Somewhere beyond the sea She's there watchin’ for me If I could fly like birds on high Then straight to her arms I’d go sailin’. It's far beyond the stars It's near beyond the moon I know beyond a doubt My heart will lead me there soon. We'll meet beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before Happy we'll be beyond the sea And never again I'll go sailin'. I know beyond a doubt My heart will lead me there soon We'll meet … I know we'll meet … beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before. Happy we'll be beyond the sea And never again I'll go sailin'. No more sailin' … So long sailin' … Bye, bye sailin'... Move on out, captain … So long, ensign …

A place inside my brain, another kind of pain You don't know the chances. I'm so blind! Deeper and deeper and deeper as I journey to live a life that seems to be a lost reality that can never find a way to reach. My inner selfesteem is low. How deep can I go in the ground that I lay? If I don't find a way to see through the gray that clouds my mind. This time I look to see what's between the lines!

"Don't you know that their out of touch?" Should I try to be a straight 'A' student? "If you are then you think too much Don't you know about the new fashion honey?

With the light from the t.v. running parallel to you. But there is no sunken treasure, rumored to be. Wrapped inside my ribs in a sea black with ink. I am so out of tune with you, I am so our of tune with you. If I had a mountain, I'd try to fold it over. If I had a boat (or bone), you know I'd probably roll over. And I leave it on the shore, I'd leave it for somebody. Surely there's somebody who needs it more than me. I am so out of tune with you, I am so our of tune with you. All the leaves will burn and autumn fires then return. All the fires we burn, all will return. Music is my savior, and I was maimed by rock and roll. I was maimed by rock and roll. I was tamed by rock and roll. I got my name from rock and roll.

He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad, What happened to the sweet love you and me had?" Against the door he leans and starts a scene, And his tears fall and burn the garden green. And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually. A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief. Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow He would sing his first war song, And fight his first battle, but something went wrong, Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually. There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown, Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound And she wished and prayed she would stop living, so she decided to die. She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled "You won't hurt me no more." But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY "Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way" And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going. And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, Eventually

I caught your eye with a camera's flash. When the band came out they stood behind you. Cymbals crashed, the lights went blue. You stood alone in the halo's haze. Shinny guitar hung on gold lamay. And you, you were the lonely one. You were the lonely one. When you perform it's so intense. When the critics pan I write in your defense. I understand I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan. When I get home I turn off the alarm. I've checked the phone, no messages on. I play the ones from yesterday. I play you're song just to hear you say that.... You, you're the lonely one.

Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees? Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it? What if this whole crusade's A charade And behind it all there's a price to be paid For the blood On which we dine Justified in the name of the holy and the divine Just how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees? Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it? So naive I keep holding on to what I want to believe I can see But I keep holding on and on and on and on Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees?

Am I not living up to what I’m supposed to be? Why am I seething with this animosity? I think you owe me a great big apology Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie I really don’t know what you mean. Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams. I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme. Can this world really be as sad as it seems Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie Don’t take it away from me. I need someone to hold on to. Don’t take it away from me. I need someone to hold on to There’s nothing left for me to hide. I lost my ignorance, security and pride. I’m all alone in a world you must despise. I believed your promises, your promises and lies Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie You made me throw it all away. My morals left to decay. How many you betray. You’ve taken everything My head is filled with disease. My skin is begging you please. I’m on my hands and knees I want so much to believe. Don’t take it away from me. I need someone to hold on to. Don’t take it away from me. I need someone to hold on to I give you everything. My sweet everything [/font]

Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun Would treat a father so, To wait upon him hand and foot And always tell him, "No"? Tears of rage, tears of grief, Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know We're so alone And life is brief. We pointed out the way to go And scratched your name in sand, Though you just thought it was nothing more Than a place for you to stand. Now, I want you to know that while we watched, You discover there was no one true. Most ev'rybody really thought It was a childish thing to do. Tears of rage, tears of grief, Must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know We're so low And life is brief. It was all very painless When you went out to receive All that false instruction Which we never could believe. And now the heart is filled with gold As if it was a purse. But, oh, what kind of love is this Which goes from bad to worse? Tears of rage, tears of grief, Must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know We're so low And life is brief.

You told us how you weren't afraid to die. Well then, so long. Don't cry. Or feel too down. Not all martyrs see divinity. But at least you tried. Standing above the crowd, He had a voice that was strong and loud. We'll miss him. Ranting and pointing his finger At everything but his heart. We'll miss him. No way to recall What it was that you had said to me, Like I care at all. So loud. You sure could yell. You took a stand on every little thing And so loud. Standing above the crowd, He had a voice so strong and loud and I Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so Eager to identify with Someone above the ground, Someone who seemed to feel the same, Someone prepared to lead the way, with Someone who would die for me. Will you? Will you now? Would you die for me? Don't you _____ lie. Don't you step out of line. Don't you _____ lie. You've claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy? You had alot to say. You had alot of nothing to say. Come down. Get off your _____ cross. We need the ______ space to nail the next fool martyr. To ascend you must die. You must be crucified For your sins and your lies. [sic] Goodbye...

Don't you know me? I'm your native son! I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle And feel the wheels rumblin' neath the floor And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel Good mornin' America, how are you? Say don't you know me? I'm your native son! I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans. I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done. Night time on the City of New Orleans Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee Halfway home, we'll be there by mornin' Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream And the steel rail still ain't heard the news The conductor sings his songs again "The passengers will please refrain: This train got the disappea rin' railroad blues Good night America, how are you?

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again. Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts, Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'. When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I got that feeling once again. I can't explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. Ok. Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more ...Aaaaaahhhhh! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working. Good. That'll keep you going for the show. Come on it's time to go. There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.

firecontrol Hobbyist Posts: 65 Kudos: 59 Votes: 41 Registered: 02-Sep-2005	I landed in this country, With one year of life to give, My only friend a weapon, And my only prayer, to live. I walked away from freedom, The life that I had known, I saw the weary faces Of the others going home. Boonie Rat, Boonie Rat, Scared but not alone, 300 days more or less Then I?m going home. My first few days were busy As they psyched my mind for war, I sometimes got the feeling They're trying to tie the score. I learned to look for danger In the trees and on the ground, I learned to feel with terror When you hear an A-K round. Boonie Rat, Boonie Rat, Scared but not alone, 300 days more or less Then I'm going home. First day in my unit I climbed a two klick hill, To find an enemy soldier, To capture, wound or kill. The air was clear and humid, The sun was hot and dry, Ten times I cursed my rucksack And prayed that I could die. Boonie Rat, Boonie Rat, Scared but not alone, 200 days more or less Then I'm going home. I've humped the hills in sunshine In mud and wind and rain. Some days have passed so quickly, That I thought they never came. My eyes are often weary, My feet are racked with pain, My back is bad and crooked From the loaded rucksack strain. Boonie Rat, Boonie Rat, Scared but not alone, 200 days more or less Then I'm going home. At night I lie back tired And I gaze up at the sky, I hear the mortars thumping, And I see the rockets fly. I hope that Charlie's sleeping, And the last thing that I pray, That the night will pass all quiet, And I'll see another day. Boonie Rat, Boonie Rat, Scared but not alone, 100 days more or less Then I'm going home. "Above The Rest" is our motto, And "Airborne" is our cry, Freedom is our mission, For this we do or die. The Boonie Rat's a legend For now and times to come, Where there's a soldier He will think of what he's done. Boonie Rat, Boonie Rat, Scared but not alone, 50 days, I'm getting SHORT Then I'm going home. My tour is almost over, And I slowly count each day, As I leave the field and say goodbye, To friends along the way. They say there'll always be a war, I hope they're very wrong, To the Boonie Rats of Vietnam I dedicate this song. Boonie Rat, Boonie Rat, Scared but not alone, Today I see my Freedom Bird, Today, I'm going home.

tiny_clanger Fish Guru Posts: 2563 Kudos: 571 Votes: 12 Registered: 17-Sep-2002	Now when I was a young man I carried me pack And I lived the free life of the rover. Then in 1915, my country said, 'Son, It's time you stop ramblin', there's work to be done.' So they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun, And they marched me away to the war. And the band played 'Waltzing Matilda,' As the ship pulled away from the quay, And amidst all the cheers, the flag waving, and tears, We sailed off for Gallipoli. And how well I remember that terrible day, How our blood stained the sand and the water; And of how in that hell that they call Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter. Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head, And when I woke up in my hospital bed And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was dead Never knew there was worse things than dying. For I'll go no more 'Waltzing Matilda,' All around the green bush far and free To hump tents and pegs, a man needs both legs, No more 'Waltzing Matilda' for me. So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed, And they shipped us back home to Australia. The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane, Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla. And as our ship sailed into Circular Quay, I looked at the place where me legs used to be, And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me, To mourn grieve and the pity. And the band plays 'Waltzing Matilda,' And the young men still answer the call, But as year follows year, more young men disappear Someday, no one will march there at all. Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda Who'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me And their ghosts may be heard as you pass the Billabong Who'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me ? ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

"I'll do your bidding, comrade mine, If I ride back again. But if you ride back and I am left, You'll do as much for me, Mother, you know, must hear the news, So write to her tenderly. "She's waiting at home like a patient saint, Her fond face pale with woe. Her heart will be broken when I am gone, I'll see her soon, I know." Just then the order came to charge, For an instance hand touched hand. They said, "Aye," and away they rode, That brave and devoted band. Straight was the track to the top of the hill, The rebels they shot and shelled, Plowed furrows of death through the toiling ranks, And guarded them as they fell. There soon came a horrible dying yell From heights that they could not gain, And those whom doom and death had spared Rode slowly back again. But among the dead that were left on the hill Was the boy with the curly hair. The tall dark man who rode by his side Lay dead beside him there. There's no one to write to the blue-eyed girl The words that her lover had said. Momma, you know, awaits the news, And she'll only know he's dead.

You can almost think that you're seein' double On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs. Got to hurry on back to my hotel room, Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece. She promised that she'd be right there with me When I paint my masterpiece. Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum, Dodging lions and wastin' time. Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em, Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb. Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory, When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese. Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody When I paint my masterpiece. Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola. Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola! I left Rome and landed in Brussels, On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried. Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles, Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside. Newspapermen eating candy Had to be held down by big police. Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent When I paint my masterpiece "That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

Blood, sweat and tears, Really don't matter, Just the things that you do, In this garden. I never thought I'd see the day, When you became what you've become, It's easy now just to look away, Leave your consience on the run, Spent so much time not looking for an answer, But someone else to blame, As long as you don't take the drop, To you it's all the same. [Chorus] Sometimes I like to get away, Chase the thought and fly, People round here, they'll never change, They're to scared to look outside, Community spirit - neighbourhood watch, Curtains twitching all the time, You've got to have a look at what next doors got, Cos you're credit's on the line. [Chorus] Don't waste your time with your visions of the future, And your party line, Cos your eyes have blinded to the people in the gutter, Who are fighting to survive. When I was out I saw a fox, He was running for his life, His eyes were wide but his mind was shut, To the red coat bugle cries, When he reached his home his path was blocked, By some "sportsman's" clever guise, If this is as far as your culture's got, I deny it. [Chorus] Blood, sweat and tears, Really don't matter. Blood, sweat and tears, Really don't matter. Really don't matter. Really don't matter. Life Life, Number and a name, Don't know what to think, Don't know what to say. Life, Like the actor and the page, When the curtains rise, You must take to the stage. [Chorus] You want to stand on the roof, You want it too soon, You must give it all away, It's the price that you must pay. Love, Sometimes easy, sometimes strined, Like the pictures that you paint, Sometimes clear and sometimes grey, Love is like a book, With your writing on the page, But the words that you write, Are not the words you want to say. [Chorus] Time, Time just drifts away, Like the ending of the line, Like the parting of the way. Time, Time will never wait, Like the words all in my head, Can't be made to stay.

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded with hatred, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it, And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it, Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', But I'll know my song well before I start singin', And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I 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, up 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 screamin' tires, the bustin' 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 got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world. When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down There were people standing all around Something warm rollin' 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 would miss But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight I lost my love, my life that night.

Won't you meet me by the river, little darling'? I might just let you see my bad tattoo. Well i was gonna bring you flowers, but i didn't. It's the thought that counts and i think i'm a bit too broke. But there's some change in my ashtray--maybe just enough to pay. For a half pint of somethin', probably make us choke. Chorus: Well you know i'd rather not go and meet your family. They'd probably send me back where i belong. Don't want to hear about mr. right. 'cause he's out of town tonight. Baby come and spend some time with mr. wrong. I drive a one-eyed malibu without a muffler. And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough. And baby if you like to read, i've got some great  ography. And a ten pound flashlight rolling in the trunk. Chorus Now, do you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you? Would she like to meet my brother? He'll be out of jail in a month or two. Chorus Where i come from they call me mr. wrong.

Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand, Vanished from my hand, Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin'. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun, It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facin'. And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're Seein' that he's chasing. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

You can almost think that you're seein' double On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs. Got to hurry on back to my hotel room, Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece. She promised that she'd be right there with me When I paint my masterpiece. Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum, Dodging lions and wastin' time. Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em, Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb. Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory, When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese. Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody When I paint my masterpiece. Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola. Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola! I left Rome and landed in Brussels, On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried. Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles, Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside. Newspapermen eating candy Had to be held down by big police. Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent When I paint my masterpiece.

And so, become yourself, Because the past is just a good bye. Teach your children well, Their father's hell did slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams, The one they picks, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you. And you, of tender years, Can't know the fears that your elders grew by. And so please help them with your youth, They seek the truth before they can die. Teach your parents well, Their children's hell will slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams, The one they picks, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.......

Al said goodbye to his mom and dad for the first time in his life. Tonight, he left the house and walked to the waiting car outside. Yea, somehow he thought they'd never understand. That nothing lasts, and he just knows that time, is just spinning by, and life, is passing him by so fast. And sometimes I think, I'm the only one who feels like going nowhere's like giving up. Sometimes I think, I'm the only one who feels like going. Al said to me a few days ago that he just thought for the first time in his life. He feels that the last few years were only a waste of time (only a waste of time) Yes, it was always a compromise, of what he always felt inside. His declaration, under the orange street light. And sometimes I think, I'm the only one who feels like going nowhere's like giving up. Sometimes I think, I'm the only one who feels like going. Yeah-ah. He was the one, who always did the right things. He was the one who would always listen to everything they say. But today, he's never going back. (Woah-oh-oh) And nobody said, that there would be days like these, there'd be days like these, there'd be days....

My homeroom homeroom angel Always pulled me from my seat She was pure like snowflakes No one could ever stain The memory of my angel Could never cause me pain Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold Slipped me notes under the desk While I was thinkin' about her dress I was shy I turned away Before she caught my eye I was shakin' in my shoes Whenever she flashed those baby-blues Something had a hold on me When angel passed close by Those soft and fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch Too see her in that negligee Is really just too much My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold It's okay I understand This ain't no never-never land I hope that when this issue's gone I'll see you when your clothes are on Take you car, Yes we will We'll take your car and drive it We'll take it to a motel room And take 'em off in private A part of me has just been ripped The pages from my mind are stripped Oh no, I can't deny it Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!

(Freeze-frame!) (REPEAT TWICE) Freeze-frame! Now Freeze! Now I'm lookin' at a flashback Sunday Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear Her hot-spot love for me is strong This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong CHORUS (repeat once) Freeze frame...

A movie made for TV: bad dialogue, bad acting, no interest. Too long with no story & no sex. Is it a kind of weakness to miss someone so much? To wish the day would go away? Like you did yesterday. Just like you did yesterday. & I can't think of a way to get through this pain: To be happy again to make it all alright & I know it must be bad 'cos sitting here right now, all I know is I can't even think, I can't even think of anything clever to say, to say So I say why pretend any longer? 'Cos I need you here with me. It's obvious that I miss you so much so please say you're gonna stay. So please say you're gonna stay. So please say you're gonna stay. The night is getting darker now and there's nothing on TV but I'll sit tight 'til morning light. Yeah, I'll wait until the day. Until the day that you say you're gonna stay. ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

It don't seem the same since cosmic light Came into my life, I thought I was divine... I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go And listen to the music on the radio A saxophone was blowin' on a rock & roll show. You climbed in the back seat, you really had a good time. Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n' roll. My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled My hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine Get back in front, put some hair oil on Buddy Holly was singing his very last song. With your arms around your girl you'd try to sing along. It felt pretty good, oh, you really had a good time. Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n' roll. ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy, She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me. I can't help it if I'm lucky. People see me all the time and they just can't remember how to act Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and distorted facts. Even you, yesterday you had to ask me where it was at, I couldn't believe after all these years, you didn't know me better than that Sweet lady. Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth, Blowing down the backroads headin' south. Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth, You're an idiot, babe. It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe. I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's like. There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door, You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars After losin' every battle. I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars. You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies. One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes, Blood on your saddle. Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb, Blowing through the curtains in your room. Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth, You're an idiot, babe. It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe. It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my heart. Now everything's a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped, What's good is bad, what's bad is good, you'll find out when you reach the top You're on the bottom. I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed, your eyes don't look into mine. The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building burned. I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned Slowly into autumn. Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull, From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol. Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth, You're an idiot, babe. It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe. I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was somebody else instead. Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy, I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory And all your ragin' glory. I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free, I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me. You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above, And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love, And it makes me feel so sorry. Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats, Blowing through the letters that we wrote. Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves, We're idiots, babe. It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.

He was the kind of a man who would gamble on luck, Look you in the eye and never back up, But I saw him cryin' like a little whipped pup because of love. You can't see it with your eyes; hold it in your hand; But like the wind that covers our land; Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, This thing called love. It can lift you up; never let you down; Take your world and turn it all around. Ever since time nothing's ever been found, That's stronger than love. Most men are like me, they struggle in doubt, They trouble their minds, they in and they out, Too busy with livin' to worry about a little word like love. But when I see a mother's tenderness, As she holds her young close to her breast, Then I thank God that the world's been blessed, With a thing called love. You can't see it with your eyes; hold it in your hand; But like the wind that covers our land; Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, This thing called love.

Avarice has led us 'cross the ocean, Toward a land that's better, much more bountiful and wide. When will mankind finally come to realize His surfeit has become his demise? How much is enough to kill yourself? That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away. Tell me is there anything so sure? Rapacity, tenacity, capacity for more! Like a dog that feeds until he suffers, The infirmity of man is brough on by his selfish cure. When will mankind finally come to realize His surfeit has become his demise? How much is enough to kill yourself? That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away.

With your empty smile, And your hungry heart, Feel the bile rising, From your guilty past. With your nerves in tatters, As the cockleshell shatters, And the hammers batter, Down your door, You better run. You better run all day, And run all night. And keep your dirty feelings deep inside. And if you’re taking your girlfriend out tonight, You better park the car well out of sight. ’cause if they catch you in the back seat, Trying to pick her locks, They’re gonna send you back to mother, In a cardboard box. You better run!

In the day we pass like strangers, ’cause we fear the consequences of our love, And we realize the danger, Still we choose to take our chances on our love, And we hide away, love the night away, And we run between the shadows and the light...

The sun is large If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside. and yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star. The sun is far away About 93 million miles away, and that’s why it looks so small. And even when it’s out of sight The sun shines night and day The sun gives heat The sun gives light The sunlight that we see The sunlight comes from our own sun’s Atomic energy Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.* The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degrees ------------------------------------------ this song is hilarious on their live dvd - they might be giants that is

Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there? Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire To the horn on the pole at the bus depot And in the back of the edge of hearing These are the words the voice was repeating: Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge: "I don't want the world, I just want your half" They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me) Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by) And it sticks like a broken record Everything sticks like a broken record Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home) And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know)

I'm not a HUGE fan of PF or Roger Waters actually, but I like RW: The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. Love Eric Clapton's guitar work on it. However, it has never caused me to seek out other Roger Waters albums. One is enough. Some artists are like that for me. I'm almost afraid that, if I didn't like their other stuff, it would taint my adoration for the one album. Make any sense?

The old for her the new That made me think on Ireland dearly. While the soft wind blew down the glade and shook the golden barley. T'was hard the woeful words to frame To break the ties that bound us. But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us. And so I said the mountain glen I'll meet at morning early. And I'll join the bold united men While soft winds shook the barley. T'was sad I kissed away her tears My fond arm round her flinging. When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears From out the wild woods ringing. A bullet pierced my true love's side In life's young spring so early. And on my breast in blood she died While soft winds shook the barley. But blood for blood without remorse I've ta'en at oulart hollow. I've lain my true love's clay like corpse Where I full soon must follow. Around her grave I've wandered drear Noon, night, and morning early. With breaking heart when e'er I hear The wind that shakes the barley.

Oh, sorry, you haven't heard? We are the children of the new world. If you're quiet you can watch if you like. They say the future's beginning tonight. Whole empires will crumble. Civilisations will fall. Lie on the bed, hear the sound of it all. No anger, no guilt and no sorrow; it sounds unlikely, I know, but tomorrow you will wake up to find that your whole life has changed. Although nothing looks different a revolution took place. I love the way you do it. I love the way you put them on. You know the answers but you get it wrong. (Just to confuse things). Why did it seem so difficult to realise a simple truth? The revolution begins and ends with you. Now all the breakdowns and nightmares look small. Now we decided not to die after all. Because the meek shall inherit absolutely nothing at all. If you stopped being so feeble you could have so much more. The answer was here all the time, you see. Just how I missed it is a mystery to me. I have waited and waited for this day to arrive. The revolution was televised. Now it's over, bye bye. It's over, bye bye. Yeah, we made it. Just by the skin of our teeth. Perfection is over (The Rave is over) Sheffield is over. The Fear is over. Guilt is over (Please leave the building quietly) Bergerac is over. The hangover is over Men are over Women are over. Cholesterol is over. Tapers are over. Irony is over. Bye bye. Bye bye. ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

Nothing changes on new year’s day. I will be with you again. I will be with you again. Under a blood-red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white. Arms entwined, the chosen few, Newspapers say, it says it’s true. And we can break through, Though torn in two we can be one. I will begin again, I will begin again. Oh and maybe the time is right, Oh maybe tonight. I will be with you again. I will be with you again. And so we are told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage. Though I want to be with you, To be with you night and day. Nothing changes on new year’s day.

Imagine a man Where it all began a scientist pacing the floor In each nation -- always eager to explore To build the best big stick To turn the winning trick -- But this was something more... The big bang -- took and shook the world Shot down the rising sun The end was begun -- it would hit everyone When the chain reaction was done The big shots -- try to hold it back Fools try to wish it away The hopeful depend on a world without end Whatever the hopeless may say Imagine a place Where it all began They gathered from across the land To work in the secrecy of the desert sand All of the brightest boys To play with the biggest toys -- More than they bargained for... Imagine a man When it all began The pilot of enola gay Flying out of the shockwave On that august day All the powers that be And the course of history Would be changed for evermore...

He sang a song as on he rode his guns hung at his hips he rode into a cattle town a smile upon his lips He stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down but his mother's words echoed again don't take your guns to town, son leave your guns at home, Bill don't take your guns to town. He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand and tried to tell himself at last he had become a man a dusty cowpoke at his began to laugh him down and he heard again his mother's words don't take your guns to town, son leave your guns at home, Bill don't take your guns to town. Filled with rage then Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw but the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered round and wondered at his final words don't take your guns to town, son leave your guns at home, Bill don't take your guns to town. ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

So we took turns a starin out the window at the darkness til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. He said, son, I’ve made a life out of readin peoples faces, And knowin what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. So if you don’t mind my sayin, I can see youre out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey Ill give you some advice. So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression. Said, if you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right. You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you’re sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done. Now evry gambler knows that the secret to survivin Is knowin what to throw away and knowing what to keep. cause evry hands a winner and evry hands a loser, And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. So when he’d finished speakin, he turned back towards the window, Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even. But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep. You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

She came up to me, she said: 'Wanna know a mistery? There's a whole wide world for you to see You're just a player in the game' Well I've nothing left to say Except take the time to ramble In a million different ways There's a million paths to travel And when there's something in the way Take your time please remember There's hope yet in the rain And a voice in distant thunder ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

But now its time for me to go, The autumn moon lights my way. For now I smell the rain, And with it pain, And its headed my way. Ah, sometimes I grow so tired, But I know Ive got one thing I got to do, Ramble on, And nows the time, the time is now To sing my song. Im goin round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way. Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on, Gotta find the queen of all my dreams. Got no time to for spreadin roots, The time has come to be gone. And tho our health we drank a thousand times, Its time to ramble on. ------------------------------ and on and on and on....yeah this song rambles on for about forever.

Holiday..) Sometimes the system goes on the blink And the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day You've seen what you like And how does it feel for one more time You had a bad day You had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

The shame, the ones who died without a name Hear the dogs howling out of key To a hymn called Faith and Misery (Hey!) And bleed, the company who lost the war today I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday Hear the drum pounding out of time Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!) To find, the moneys on the other side Can I get another Amen (Amen!) Theres a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!) A gag, A plastic bag on a monument I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday..... ----------------------------- hmm...maybe I shouldn't post the rest of it.

Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song, And I’ll try not to sing out of key. I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends, Going to try with a little help from my friends. What do I do when my love is away. (does it worry you to be alone) How do I feel by the end of the day (are you sad because you’re on your own) No I get by with a little help from my friends, Do you need anybody, I need somebody to love. Could it be anybody I want somebody to love. Would you believe in a love at first sight, Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time. What do you see when you turn out the light, I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine. Oh I get by with a little help from my friends, Do you need anybody, I just need someone to love, Could it be anybody, I want somebody to love. I get by with a little help from my friends, Yes I get by with a little help from my friends, With a little help from my friends. ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium.

Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what youre doing to me I have spent all my years in believing you But I just cant get no relief, Lord! Somebody, somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love? I work hard every day of my life I work till I ache my bones At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own - I get down on my knees And I start to pray Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord - somebody - somebody Can anybody find me - somebody to love? (he works hard) Everyday - I try and I try and I try - But everybody wants to put me down They say Im goin crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe Yeah - yeah yeah yeah Oh lord Somebody - somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love? Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat Im ok, Im alright Ain’t gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell Someday Im gonna be free, lord! Find me somebody to love Can anybody find me somebody to love?
