Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The General sat, and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you.
Wish you were here... ♥~RIP Dad

Hand over fist
Paper around the stone
Scissors cut the paper
Cut the paper to the bone
Hand over fist
Paper around the stone
Scissors cut the paper
And the rock must stand alone

I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Only the faintest only the faintest glance buries you buries me
So fire your engine see if I give a damn we'll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise
Use me forever use as rocket fuel I'll be air I'll be fire
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
When the lights go down in the city,
and the sun shines on the bay,
do i want to be there,
in my city,
ohoh ohohoh ohoh
Wish you were here... ♥~RIP Dad

The sun shines
People forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile
People forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
People forget
Forget they're hiding.
Peace

Shout hooray and halleluh!
Now me and mister wrong are through
I'll find myself another beau
Who I know is no rover Forget about the boy
Forget about the boy
Forget about -
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords.
They'll turn the lights out when I die.
And it's good to know you're with somebody half as good as me.
They'll put a statue up outside,
And I can watch with pharaohs eye's,
And then they'll all know I was somebody
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
just want to scream...hello...
my god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are, and here i am
hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Well Hello there everybody, you're very welcome to this evening's cabaret. -Christy Moore-Welcome To The Cabaret Oooops, he doesn't say 'hello' at all-he says" how you going there everybody"
Will work on another :geek:
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything (Skindred-Stand For Something)
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
peace

I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you.

See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate

Here’s the place to get it,
It ain’t pretty
It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad
Yeh!
Wish you were here...

As he rolls on down
And city lights as they fade from sight
Drives the man behind the driving wheels

haven't seen a goddam thing."

No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

Forcin' a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been

Long as we get love we got some that will hate us,
The poison from the poison stream caught up to you ELEVEN years ago and you floated out of here. Sept. 14, 08
my god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are, and here i am
hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Wish you were here...
