I know that you hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily

I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
Don't fight your battles far from me
Far too easily

"Save your tears 'cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as
You walk through that door
But still I saw
To hide the pain when I
Turned back the pages
Crying out a windy answer
What if I cried my eyes out and
Begged you not to part?
But now I'm not afraid to say
What's in my heart

Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Make you no longer feel weary
And seem far away
They'll hold you forever

"They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"I'm never coming back"
They heard him cry
And I believe him
Well he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That I can find you
Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no"

"Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But them someday people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind ..."

"Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' outta the gates
Takin' chances. We're the crash n' burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty but you never gave a love
Cross the line where none return

Oh, I watch my television, almost lost my mind
It said "Open your eyes. Leave it all behind."

I heard the wind a-whisp'rin'
Strong magic comin' on
They comin' out for sure

Come see your children, yeah
They're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them anymore (Ha ha)

Wolves at my door, wised up quick
Turned here an' gone, from on the go
Seems the old folks who come up short
Were the pretty little kids who didn't want it, no

I had some crazy vision, one I can't deny it
It said "Open my eyes. Leave it all behind."

I heard the winds a-whisp'rin'
Strong magic comin' on
It's comin' out for sure

Come see your children, yeah
They're lighting up the skies
You won't, recognize them anymore

Ooh, mama, see the firelights
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight
Ooh, mama, see the firelights
Ooh, lightin' up the sky

To:
remember hazy borders of my heart
I can see a place, it's something like this
Morning now and then I don't know what to do
Still I knew that I can never go back

Different things I've seen in those hazy dreams..
Can't compare to what I'm seein' now
Everything's so different that it brings me to my knees
And though I know the world of real emotion has surrounded me..
I won't give in to it
Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice crawling out to me
You'll never be alone

What can't I do for you?

What can't I do for you?
What can't I do for you?
What can't I do for you?

I can't hear you!

And if I fight the rhythm of emotion has surrounded me
And I can't go on, You are there
the moment that I close my eyes you come to me
These are the things we're thinking of I know
I'll never be alone

-FFX-2 Real emotion

"This is my life,
It's not what it was before,
All these feelings I've shared,
These are my dreams,
That I've never lived before,
Somebody shake me cuz I,
I must be sleeping...

I can't believe,
I'm not ashamed...
To be the person that I am today...

These are my words,
I've never said before,
I think I'm doing okay,
This is the smile,
I've never shown before,
Somebody shake me,
Cuz I must be sleeping....

goodbye...
Was all I had to say
now I... I want to come again and stay
Smile, and that will mean that I may

Cause I've seen blue skies, through the tears
In my eyes
And I realise... I'm going home.

Everywhere it's been the same
feeling...
Like I'm outside in the rain
wheeling...
Free, to try and find a game
dealing...
Cards for sorrow, cards for pain

Cause I've seen blue skies through the tears
In my eyes
And I realise... I'm going home.

I'm going home, I'm going home"

"You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again
The light of day

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell

Everything around you
What's it coming to
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you"

What's the connection

Palindat's gettin' sassy...


a febrile shocking violent smack
the children are hoping for a heart attack,
tonight the windows are watching,
the streets all conspire,
and the lamppost can't stop crying,
if i could fly high above the world,
would i see a bunch of living dots
spell the world stupidity?
or would i see hungry lover homicides,
loving brother suicides,
and olly olly oxenfrees,
who pickaside and hide
the world is scratching at my door,
my morning papers got the scores,
the human interest stories, and the obituary
cockroach naps and rattling traps,
how many devils can you fit upon a match head?, caringosity killed the kerouac cat,
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction
in my alley around the corner,
there's a wino with feathered shoulders,
and a spirit giving head for crack,
he'll never want it back,
there's a little kid and his family
eating crackers like thanksgiving
and a pack of wild desperados scornful of living
the world is scratching at my door,
my morning papers got the scores,
the human interest stories, and the obituary
cockroach naps and rattling traps,
how many devils can you fit upon a match head?, caringosity killed the kerouac cat,
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction
cradle for a cat,
wolfe looks back,
how many angels can you fit upon a match?
i want to know why hemingway cracked,
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

life is the crummiest book i ever read,
there isn't a hook,
just a lot of cheap shots,
pictures to shock and characters an amateur would never dream up
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

Waving their arms in the air
Who do they think they are?

Some old lady called the cops

nah you aren't losing you're mind lyn...I'm losin mine!!

cause it's the bosstones...yah!!

To put up with the output
I don't think about it,
Hold on and hold out
Or I'd be left out without it
Things better get better
I gotta get
Thing's should get good
But they haven't yet

While these things keep bringing
And bringing me grief
I've got that one something
That still brings relief
Cowboy coffee and chemical cream
Ride, ride, ride on my stallion of green
Midnight flower, sleep in the flowers And dream, hurricane, breakneck speed, rapid fire, dreams

It's not that it's boggin' or cloggin' my head
It's not that I'm swamped
Buried under near dead
It's just the daily grind
To bring the daily bread
I wasn't born rich
I'm good looking instead

While these dailys "dille-dallie"
And I'm daily employed
I've got that daily something
That's daily enjoyed
Cowboy coffee and chemical cream
Ride, ride, ride on my stallion of green
Midnight flower, sleep in the flowers
And dream, hurricane, breakneck speed, rapid fire, dreams

oh yeah....that was car too "stallion of green"

"Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy...."

Left my home in Norfolk Virginia,
California on my mind.
Straddled that Greyhound, rode him past Raleigh,
On across Caroline.

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill,
And we never was a minute late.
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state.

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle,
Half way 'cross Alabam,
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham.

In West Philidelphia,
Born and Raised,
On the playground,
Is where I spent most of my days.

Chillin' out,
Maxin' relaxin' all cool,
And shootin some b-ball,
Outside of the school,

When a couple a guys,
They were up to no good,
Started making trouble in my neighborhood.

I got in one little fight,
And my mom got scared,
And said your moving with your auntie and uncle,
In Bel-Air.

I whistled for a cab,
And when it came near,
The license plate said fresh,
And there were dice in the mirrior!

If anything I could say that this cab was rare,
But I thought, "Nah forget it",
Yo home to Bel-Air!

I pulled up the the house about 7 or 8,
And I yelled the the cabbie, "Yo home, smell ya later!"
Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there,
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

Yet one more Will Smith tune

You know parents are the same
No matter time nor place
They don't understand that us kids
Are going to make some mistakes
So to you, all the kids all across the land
There's no need to argue
Parents just don't understand
I remember one year
My mom took me school shopping
It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister
All hopped in the car
We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
I didn't say nothing at first
I just turned up my nose
She said, "What's wrong? This shirt cost $20"
I said, "Mom, this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar!"
The next half hour was the same old thing
My mother buying me clothes from 1963
And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips!
I said, "Mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep"
She said, "You're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet"
I said, "Mom, let's put these clothes back, please"
She said "no, you go to school to learn not for a fashion show"
I said, "This isn't Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I'm not Bowzer
Mom, please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers
But if you don't want to I can live with that but
You gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks"
She wasn't moved - everything stayed the same
Inevitably the first day of school came
I thought I could get over, I tried to play sick
But my mom said, "No, no way, uh-uh, forget it"
There was nothing I could do, I tried to relax
I got dressed up in those ancient artifacts
And when I walked into school, it was just as I thought
The kids were cracking up laughing at the clothes Mom bought
And those who weren't laughing still had a ball
Because they were pointing and whispering
As I walked down the hall
I got home and told my Mom how my day went
She said, "If they were laughing you don't need them,
"Cause they're not good friends"
For the next six hours I tried to explain to my Mom
That I was gonna have to go through this about 200 more times
So to you all the kids all across the land
There's no need to argue
Parents just don't understand

to:

"let me tell you sonny, let me tell you straight
you kids today ain't never had it tough
always had everything handed to you on a silver plate
you lazy brats think nothing's good enough

well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below
we had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow
worked in the coal mines twenty two hours a day for just half a cent
had to sell my internal organs just to pay the rent

when i was your age
when i was your age
when i was your age
when i was your age

let me tell you something, you whiny little snot
there's something wrong with all you kids today
you just don't appreciate all the things you've got
we were hungry, broken and miserable and we liked it fine that way

there were seventy three of us living in a cardboard box
all i got for Christmas was a lousy bag of rocks
every night for dinner, we had a big ole chunk of dirt
if we were really good, we didn't get dessert

when i was your age
when i was your age
when i was your age
when i was your age

didn't have no telephone, didn't have no fax machine
all we had was a couple cans and a crummy piece of string
didn't have no swimming pool when i was just a lad
our neighbor's septic tank was the closest thing we had
didn't have no dental floss had to use old rusty nails
didn't have nintendo we just poured salt on snails
didn't have no water bed had to sleep on broken glass
didn't have no lawnmower we used our teeth to cut the grass

what's the matter now, sonny, you say you don't believe this junk?
you think my story's wearin' kinda thin?
i tell you one thing, i never was such a disrespectful punk
back in my time, we had a thing called discipline

dad would whoop us every night till a quarter after twelve
then he'd get too tired and he'd make us whoop ourselves
then he'd chop me into pieces and play frisbee with my brain
and let me tell ya,junior, you never heard me complain

when i was your age
when i was your age
when i was your age
when i was your age"

On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame,
And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best,
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down,
I will cling to the old rugged Cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me,
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.

"secure yourself to heaven
hold on tight the night has come
fashion up your earthly burdens
you have just begun

in the ink of an eye i saw you bleed
through the thunder i could hear you scream
solid to the air i breathed
open-eyed and fast asleep

falling softly as the rain
no footsteps ringing in your ears
ragged down worn to the skin
warrior raging have no fear

secure yourself to heaven
hold on tight the night has come
fasten up your earthly burdens
you have just begun

kneeling down with broken prayers
hearts and bones from days of youth
restless with an angels wing
i dig a grave to bury you

no feet to fall you need no ground
allowed to glide right through the sun
released from circles gardens high
now we all are chosen ones

secure yourself to heaven
hold on tight the night has come
fasten up your earthly burdens
you have just begun"

Stairway to Heaven
(Page-Plant)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When youre sure youve had enough of this life, well hang on.
Dont let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.


Sometimes everything is wrong. Now its time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think youve had too much of this life, well hang on.


Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Dont throw your hand. Oh, no. Dont throw your hand.
If you feel like youre alone, no, no, no, you are not alone


If youre on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think youve had too much of this life to hang on.


Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

"in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good

though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn

drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground

don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong

rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up

'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing

moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs

don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong"

I tell you one time only with my business please don't mess

Look at all these rumors running me everyday
I just need some time some time to get away from
from all these rumors I can't take it no more
my best friend say did you hear the one about me
and the girl next door?

Did you hear the one about tina?
some say she's much too loose
that came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice
Did you hear the one about Michael?
Some say he must be gay
I tried to argue but they said if he were straight he would'nt move that way
Did you hear the one about Susan?
some say she's just a tease
in a camosal she's six feet tall she'll knock you to you knees..

I can't show my face cuz when it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer
I'll think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill
the next time they catch somebody started rumors-shoot to kill!

YAY! got the internet up in my new apartment today!

The Kids Aren't Alright

When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole darn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

"I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool

Keep on rockin' in the free world....

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand

We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn got roads to drive

Keep on rockin in the fre world....."

Hope fades into the world of night
Through shadows falling out of memory and time
Don't say we have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms, just sleeping
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water, grey ships pass
Into the west

Don't worry bout me, no no, don't worry bout me, no
And I'm in no hurry, no no no, I know where to go.

California, preaching on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine

My time coming, anyday, don't worry bout me, no
It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin' slow
Still I know I lead the way, they tell me where I go

Don't worry bout me, no no, don't worry bout me, no

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

Connection...the word paradise. I'm so original.

to:

Some rich men came and raped the land
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
And Jesus, people bought 'em

And they called it Paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun
Sinking in the sea


You can leave it all behind
And sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did
So many years ago

They even brought a neon sign
'Jesus is coming'
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs
And justify our bloody deeds
In the name of Destiny
And in the name of God

And you can see them there
On Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about
What it's like up there

And they call it Paradise
I don't know why
You call some place Paradise
Kiss it goodbye.

"Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
oh, won't you please take me home"

As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Cmon! hold on tight!
Cmon! hold on tight!
Though its cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light"

A little wrangler was born
I seen him squirming in the saddle all wet and warm
He's such a changeable form in his very first year

He rides on to wrangler school
With a slingshot and a saddlebag of hand-me-down tools
Doesn't want to look like a fool
Pass the jail without tears

Time machines, remembered scenes
That a wrangler rides through a passing stream
Time's replaced by a peaceful dream
Wrangler space

He reigns his pony to the gate of the school
Feather pens and inkwells of hand-me-down rules
Like trading a pony for an aging mule
He rides away without fear

Time machines, new routines
That a wrangler rides through a passing dream
And time's replaced by a peaceful stream
Space wrangler space

He gets off at a stranger's place
Where the girls dance different with familiar grace
He's knowing that he found the place
That pours the coldest beer

Skol, very cold beer

We're tryin' to make a livin' down here
And keep the children fed"
But, from little dark motel rooms

You don't have to pray to a little tin god
Step out of the way for a little tin god

Sgt. Baker is my name
I'm gonna teach you how to play the game
of warfare
Suddenly it appears to me
You got a bit much dignity
For your own good, boy
Yes sir, yes sir.

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.
Johnny Turk, he was waitin', he primed himself well;
He showered us with bullets, and he rained us with shell --
And in five minutes flat, he'd blown us all to hell,
Nearly blew us right back to Australia.

But the band played "Waltzing Matilda,"
When we stopped to bury our slain,
Well, we buried ours, and the Turks buried theirs,
Then we started all over again.

And those that were left, well, we tried to survive
In that mad world of blood, death and fire.
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive
Though around me the corpses piled higher.
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head,
And when I woke up in me 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.



hey moondog - what was that McVeigh song you wrote called, it sounds cool?

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

Just linking waltz:

When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon,
Where I can watch her waltz for free
'Neath her Panamanian moon.
An' I say, "Aw come on now,
You must know about my debutante."
An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you want."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

to:

"I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz"

Dancing days are here again as the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power, I got a woman who knows.

I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident, In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Sippin'' booze is precedent as the evening starts to glow.

I told your mamma I'd get you home but I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar.

Dancing days are here again as the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.

to:

"your ballroom days are over baby
night is drawing near
shadows on the evening
crawl across the years

you walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
trying to tell me no one understands
trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
gonna make it baby in our prime

get together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time"

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

to:

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
Swing from the beams,
(With a) light shining off the snow.
Well there's a singer in my heart,
Burning up the charts,
With songs about things we all know.
Well there's a blister on his brain,
That's driving him insane,
Cause all good things they gotta go.
Well there's a child on the way,
It could be any day,
But how this life will change him, that we don't know.
Well there's a child on the way,
One day, he's gonna say, "Ain't you my dad?"
Then he's gonna look down and smile,
and after awhile,
He'll say, "That's for sure son, cause you got my eyes."
Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
He's hanging from the beams,
With light shining off the snow.
Well there's a blister on his brain,
It's driving him insane,
And all good things have to go, all right.
There's a dreamer in my dreams,
Swinging from the beams,
With a light shining off the lake.
Well, I know I made mistakes,
I'm passing then all on.
But I hope he gets some before there gone, all right.
Yeah, that's it.
Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
Climbing up the back,
Of a car they used to call a Cadillac.
It's got a brand new set of keys,
It's got a new look, it's got a new look,
And his young one is gonna take it all away.
I believe it...
Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
Swinging from the beams,
All wrapped up in my garage.
He's hanging from a bell,
He don't know what he's done,
Just don't forget to day goodbye when he's gone.
That's it.

to:

Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real

Chorus:
Could you wanna take my picture?
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture?
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture?
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture?
Cuz I won't remember
Yeah

I don't believe in
I dont believe in
In your sanctity
You privacy
I dont believe in
I dont believe in
In sanctity
A hypocrisy
Could everyone agree that
No one should be left alone
Could everyone agree that
They should not be left alone, yeah
And I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Kicking and screaming

Chorus

Hey dad what do you think about your son now
Oh hey dad what do you think about your son now

Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

to:

"have you got a minute?
a little time that we can spend
open up and let me in
share some memories
people in a hurry
everyday goes by so fast
no one takes the time to ask how it used to be
i wanna know
did your father own an automobile
or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels
i hear you used to walk to school
seven miles a day
did you ever ride a railroad train
and the very first time you saw a plane
did you think the world had gone insane
tell me what you got to say
i want to know

words can paint a picture
sharper than a photograph
i know you can take me back
to times i'll never see
got a lot of questions
there's so much i wanna learn
you can make the pages turn you're living history
i wanna know
did your father own an automobile
or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels
i hear you used to walk to school
seven miles a day
did you ever ride a railroad train
and the very first time you saw a plane
did you think the world had gone insane
tell me what you got to say
i want to know

have you got a minute?
a little time that we can spend
open up and let me in
share some memories"

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

to:

Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought i'd something more to say

Pink Floyd "Time"

Don't want to be an actor pretending on the stage
Don't want to be a writer with my thoughts out on the page
Don't want to be a painter 'cause everyone comes to look
Don't want to be anything where my life's an open book

A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you

Don't want to be a farmer working in the sun
Don't want to be an outlaw always on the run
Don't want to be a climber reaching for the top
Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop

A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you

So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it

Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me

So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it

Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me

from the same album:

"i feed from the bottom you feed from the top
i live upon morsels you happen to drop
the coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup
if nothing comes down then i'm forced to swim up

on the way upwards the colors come back
but all on the bottom is blue gray and black
the darkness is cold and perception goes wrong
and the night seems to go on incredibly long

so i ask you why
as i'm swimming by
don't you see anything that you'd like to try?

pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth
jumbled events that have less than no worth
time in the forest to dig under rocks
or float in the ocean asleep in a box

or sink just below all the churning and froth
and swim to the light source or fly like a moth
so toss away stuff you don't need in the end
but keep what's important and know who's your friend

so i ask you why
as I'm swimming by
don't you see anything that you'd like to try?"

Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can see
Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way

To:

Gramma got run over by a reindeer.
Walking home from our house Christmas eve!
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa,
We bleieve.

Now she's been drinking too much eggnog..
And we begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication,
And she staggered out the door into the snow.

When we found her Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack,
She had hoofprints on her forehead,
And incriminating Clause marks on her back.

From the song"Christmas in Washington"
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Maybe he can help you out
Come back Woody Guthrie to us now

to:

"this land is my land
this land is your land
from california
to the new york island
from the redwood forest
to the gulf stream waters
this land was made for you and me

as i was walking
i saw a sign there
a sign that said
no tresspassing
but on the other side
it didn't say nothing
that side was made for you and me

this land is my land
this land is your land
from california
to the new york island
from the redwood forest
to the gulf stream waters
this land was made for you and me"

Peaches come form a can,
They were put there by a man,
In a factory down town....

You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner

I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run

linking sixteen.

I got sixteen days
One for every time Ive gone away
One for every time I should have stayed
You should have worn my wedding ring
I got sixteen days
Fifteen of those are nights
Cant sleep when the bed sheet fights
Its way back to your side

The ghost has got me running
The ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

to:

"I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store"

Great song moondog
linking st peter
partial song

Got myself a threadbare gypsy soul
Likes to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows
Gotta little threadbare gypsy soul
Gotta little threadbare gypsy soul

Gotta little wild streak in my heart
I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start
I gotta little wild streak in my heart
I gotta little threadbare gypsy soul

I like to hear the highway sounds
And I don't think that I'll ever settle down
I can't change and it's a sin
Hope St. Peter gonna let me in
Come on Pete won't you let me in

Edit: Sorry tetra fan, they will prob link off yours, I might do it myself.
