I can't be losing sleep over this, no, I can't
And now I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours and I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
This is over my head but underneath my feet
'Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
It's been a long and tryin' bad day
Little mockingbirds are out there singing
But the moon plays tricks on my darling
And I ain't done, but I'm going
Feeling wounded, like the army
There's no medic, here to calm me
And my scars are all showing
And I ain't done, but I'm going
When these young winds, they calm down
Maybe one day you'll think off me
When you go out and hit the town
With your love, have a drink for me
'Cause it's been so long, for just half over
They don't make coats for this kind of cold, doll
Sometimes you can't find the thing to free ya
And I ain't done, but I'll see ya
Cause lord I ain't done, but I'll see ya
A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic, all direction blind,
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun,
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Left without a hope of coming home.
Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears,
Frightening him with visions of eternity,
Screaming for a future that could never be.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Left without a hope of coming home.
Left without a hope of coming home.
Left without a hope of coming home.

Gypsy - The Moody Blues
lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~
Now I was sitting, waiting, wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
And in loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
I sing ya songs, I dance a dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
And maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time
So please ignore
The next few lines 'cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your cards
But it's not my scene
Won't this plot not twist?
I have no place to read
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
Well I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
'Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing the fool?
No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing playing your fool, fool.
All my rivals will see what I have in store, MY GUN...
I've been harboring fleets in this reservoir, red sun...
and this nation's about to explode
your disciples are riddled with metaphors, well hung...
better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls, not one...
as we release this unspeakable toll...
(every grain of sand equals)
(all the stars and everyone)
how's our mother to damn these contributors...with mud?
how will the man who made chemicals difficult...shed blood?
how's our father supposed to be told?
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings
Peter Gabriel ~ The Book Of Love
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
I built a house of cards
Built a house of rain
Built a house of love
It's hard to build again
Built a road to reason
Built a road to fate
Built a road
to the promised land
Right up to the gate
Loose change in my pocket
Future in my hand
Too many distractions
For me to understand
Too many distractions
Got to get back home
Get into something solid
Get out of the zone
Some roads bring renewal
Some roads hide and wait
Some roads
promise everything
And steal your fuel away
Loose change in my pocket
Future in my hand
Too many distractions
For me to understand
Some roads I been flyin'
Some roads I crashed
Some roads
I been sleepin' on
Some roads I got back
Some roads I been runnin'
Some roads I was stopped
Some roads
I been walkin down
Some roads I was lost

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do, this is for you)
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won't regret it, no, no
Young girls they never forget it
Love is their only happiness
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
You've got, you've got, you've got
Just try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah yeah
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I miss the life
I miss the colours of the world
Can anyone tell where I am
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again
I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Doesn't want to go to work today
Doesn't feel it's importance
Wants to live her life like a swinging door
Let everything out, everything in and more
She said
"I don't know what it is that gives
I only know everyday is downhill from here"
And I'm gonna get
I'm gonna want
I'm gonna be where I want to be
And I'm gonna take
I'm gonna give
I'm gonna drag you along
Ready or not, you're ready for me
You've gotta be
Because I want you to be
Everyday
Everyday is here
Everyday, everyday
Everyday is here
I'm using you because I like you
You make me happy
Why shouldn't I keep on with a good thing
Dig myself a little deeper
Did you ever think I could creep up on you?
And I don't know what it is that gives
I only know everyday is downhill from here
Everyday
Everyday is here ....
sittin' in the mornin' sun, i'll be sittin' till the evening's done
watchin' the ships roll in, then i watch 'em roll away again
sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
i left my home in georgia, headed for the 'frisco bay
i've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah...
sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same
i can't do what ten people want me to, so i guess i'll remain the same
oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone
two thousand miles i've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...
i'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
i left my home in georgia, headed for the 'frisco bay
sittin' here restin' my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone, yeah...
two thousand miles i've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...
sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me
Disturbed ~ Down With The Sickness
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
I think I'll go home and mull this over
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat
Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Underneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're now on
Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is
One day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending
All these squawking birds won't quit
Building nothing, laying bricks.
pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
news had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
news guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
cried so much his face was wet, then i knew he was not lying
i heard telephones, opera house, favourite tv's
my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
i had to cram so many things to store everything in there
and all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
and all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
i never thought i'd need so many people
a girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
if the black hadn't a-pulled her off, i think she would have killed them
a soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer
threw up at the sight of that
i think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
and it was cold and it rained so i felt like an actor
and i thought of ma and i wanted to get back there
your face, your race, the way that you talk
i kiss you, you're beautiful, i want you to walk
we've got five years, stuck on my eyes
we've got five years, what a surprise
we've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
we've got five years, that's all we've got
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In the chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lies a dozen
White roses on the grave
Yeah
And be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation
In everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Empty or insane
And be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Even when paid enough
And put upon
Or been held up
Every single memory of
Good or bad
Faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
Even with love
Be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Oh
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
Be Yourself ~ Audioslave :cool:
I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.
Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
(Ahh Yeahhh)
You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper, now
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
Everything, everything...
When how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
Oh And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better any better than this
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this...
tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
crash, then on their way
father, he enjoyed collisions
others walked away
the snowflake falls in may
and the doors are open now
as the bells are ringing out
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
nature has its own religion
gospel from the land
father ruled by long division
young men, they pretend
old men comprehend
and the sky breaks at dawn
shedding light upon this town
we all come 'round
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
and the road, the old men paved
the broken seams along the way
the rusted signs, they're just for me
he was guiding me, love, his own way
now the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
as the curtain comes down
i feel that this is just
goodbye for now
Well, I don't know what I'm looking for
But I know that I just want to look some more
And I won't be satisfied
'Til there's nothing left that I haven't tried
For some people it's an easy choice
But for me there's a devil and an angel's voice
Well, I don't know what I'm looking for
But I know that I just want to look some more
Well, I don't know what I'm living for
But I know that I just want to live some more
And you hear it from the strangers and you hear it from friends
That love never dies and love never ends
And I don't want to argue, no I don't want to fight
'Cause you're always wrong and I'm always right
Well, I don't know what I'm living for
But I know that I just want to live some more
I used to be involved and I felt like a king
Now I've lost it all and I don't feel a thing
I may never grow up, I may never give in
And I blame this world that I live in
I visit hell on a daily basis
And I see the sadness in all your faces
I've got friends who are married and their lives seem complete
And here I am still stumbling down a darkened street
Darkened street...
And I act like a child and I'm insecure
And I'm filled with doubt and I'm immature
Sometimes it creeps up on me
And before I know it I'm lost at sea
But no matter how far I roam
I always find my way back home
But I don't know what I've been waiting for
But I know that I don't want to wait anymore
tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
crash, then on their way
father, he enjoyed collisions
others walked away
the snowflake falls in may
and the doors are open now

cuz the man of the hour

Jason, somehow....you've posted the song that fits the last three days for me. Sorry, I didn't think of this when I was speechless to everyone else these past days. The week ahead will be a hard one. "goodbye for now"
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
fury, you said something that made me think of this song and you.......
I'm wishing you a-well
mind at peace within your cell
covers up, I cast you off
I'll be watching as you breathe
I lie still, you move
I send you off around the bend
I hold your head deep in my arms
my fingertips they close your eyes
off you dream, my little child
there's a sun around the bend (yes)
there's a sun around the bend
all the evenings close like this
all these moments that I've missed
please forgive me, won't you, dear?
please forgive and let me share...
with you around the bend
"you're an angel when you sleep"
how I want your soul to keep
on and on around the bend
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
When you're all alone
And you need a light
Someone to guide you through the night
Just remember that I am here
To hold you close and dry your tears
Oh-ooh
And just when you thought you were falling
But you know I'll always be right there
When you're all alone
And you need a friend
Someone to help you to the end
When you need someone to catch you when you fall
I'll be there through it all
oh-oh
'Cause just when you thought you were losing
But you know I'll always be right there
And I'll be there through the good times
And the bad
And we'll be there for each other
'Cause you're the best friend I've ever had
And just when you thought you were falling
But you know I'll always be right there
oh-oooh whenever you need me
I'll always be right there.
Sit down, sit back and watch the days go by
Are you ever gonna live before you die
And when things fall apart
The world has come undone
Leave it all behind
Leave the loneliness alone
You wait forever blind
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
'Cause while you wait inside
The days go by
So all the memories fade
And the days go by
Forget the lonely yesterdays in mind
I know it's never gonna be the way you like
I know you don't wanna think about the endlessness you find
You wait forever blind
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
You're waiting for your time
All these days gone wrong
Who broke your fall
What a way to learn
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
Time is passing by
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
'Cause while you wait inside
The days go by
................................................................
Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone.
They make it hard to leave you alone.
Leave you here wearinyour wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new.
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost cause.
There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go.
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares.
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost cause.
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause
There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
There's no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for?
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost cause
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause.
Come up to meet you,
Tell you I'm sorry,
You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Oh, let's go back to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Comin' up tails,
Its only science apart.
Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh, take me back to the start.
I was just guessing,
At numbers and figures,
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh, when I rush to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Chasin' tails,
Comin' back as we are.
Nobody said it was easy,
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm goin' back to the start.
Well, a Scottsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
Chorus: Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh,
Ring di diddly ay oh,
(repeat last line of previous verse)
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by,
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye:
"See yon sleeping Scottsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"
(Chours)
They crept up on that sleeping Scottsman quiet as could be;
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth.
(Chorus)
They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star the Scott's kilt did lift and show.
(Chorus)
Now the Scottsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees.
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees.
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,
"Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"
My love, I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words, could not, explain
Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you, cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love…
Chorus:
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song cause you……make me feel brand new
My love, whenever I was insecure
You filled me up and made me sure
You gave, my pride, back to me
Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you, life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay, you for having faith in me. . . . .
Chorus:
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you. . . .
Got to play this entire CD in the car today VERY LOUD!!! It's nice to be alone in the car for a little bit. I seem to never get that anymore, lol.
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is water down a drain
Everybody's moving
Everybody's moving
Everything is moving,
Moving, moving, moving
Please don't leave me to remain
In the waiting room
I don't want the news
(I cannot use it)
I don't want the news
(I won't live by it)
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
(Tell me why)
Because they can't get up
(Ahhh... Come on and get up)
(Come on and get up)
But I won't sit idly by
(Ahhh...)
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight
For what I want to be
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
Inside the waiting room
I don't want the news
(I cannot use it)
I don't want the news
(I won't live by it)
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
(Tell me why)
Because they can't get up
(Ahhh... Come on and get up)
Up from the waiting room
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
(Tell me why)
Because they can't get up

And now I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours and I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
This is over my head but underneath my feet
'Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...
Of What is real and just a dream...

A real live lover, could have been a book
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

Little mockingbirds are out there singing
But the moon plays tricks on my darling
And I ain't done, but I'm going
Feeling wounded, like the army
There's no medic, here to calm me
And my scars are all showing
And I ain't done, but I'm going
When these young winds, they calm down
Maybe one day you'll think off me
When you go out and hit the town
With your love, have a drink for me
'Cause it's been so long, for just half over
They don't make coats for this kind of cold, doll
Sometimes you can't find the thing to free ya
And I ain't done, but I'll see ya
Cause lord I ain't done, but I'll see ya
Jason
Travelling in panic, all direction blind,
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun,
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Left without a hope of coming home.
Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears,
Frightening him with visions of eternity,
Screaming for a future that could never be.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Left without a hope of coming home.
Left without a hope of coming home.
Left without a hope of coming home.

~it is shining it is shining~
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
And in loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
I sing ya songs, I dance a dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
And maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time
So please ignore
The next few lines 'cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your cards
But it's not my scene
Won't this plot not twist?
I have no place to read
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
Well I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
'Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing the fool?
No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing playing your fool, fool.
~ Jack Johnson
I've been harboring fleets in this reservoir, red sun...
and this nation's about to explode
your disciples are riddled with metaphors, well hung...
better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls, not one...
as we release this unspeakable toll...
(every grain of sand equals)
(all the stars and everyone)
how's our mother to damn these contributors...with mud?
how will the man who made chemicals difficult...shed blood?
how's our father supposed to be told?
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings
Peter Gabriel ~ The Book Of Love
Built a house of rain
Built a house of love
It's hard to build again
Built a road to reason
Built a road to fate
Built a road
to the promised land
Right up to the gate
Loose change in my pocket
Future in my hand
Too many distractions
For me to understand
Too many distractions
Got to get back home
Get into something solid
Get out of the zone
Some roads bring renewal
Some roads hide and wait
Some roads
promise everything
And steal your fuel away
Loose change in my pocket
Future in my hand
Too many distractions
For me to understand
Some roads I been flyin'
Some roads I crashed
Some roads
I been sleepin' on
Some roads I got back
Some roads I been runnin'
Some roads I was stopped
Some roads
I been walkin down
Some roads I was lost

See you in June
Could have known
I would reveal
Should have known
I would conceal your way
She knows, she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
How's it
She knows, she knows, she knows
Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way
Open your eyes
To these must I lie?

Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do, this is for you)
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won't regret it, no, no
Young girls they never forget it
Love is their only happiness
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
You've got, you've got, you've got
Just try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah yeah
Jason
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I miss the life
I miss the colours of the world
Can anyone tell where I am
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again
I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Jason
Doesn't feel it's importance
Wants to live her life like a swinging door
Let everything out, everything in and more
She said
"I don't know what it is that gives
I only know everyday is downhill from here"
And I'm gonna get
I'm gonna want
I'm gonna be where I want to be
And I'm gonna take
I'm gonna give
I'm gonna drag you along
Ready or not, you're ready for me
You've gotta be
Because I want you to be
Everyday
Everyday is here
Everyday, everyday
Everyday is here
I'm using you because I like you
You make me happy
Why shouldn't I keep on with a good thing
Dig myself a little deeper
Did you ever think I could creep up on you?
And I don't know what it is that gives
I only know everyday is downhill from here
Everyday
Everyday is here ....
watchin' the ships roll in, then i watch 'em roll away again
sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
i left my home in georgia, headed for the 'frisco bay
i've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah...
sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same
i can't do what ten people want me to, so i guess i'll remain the same
oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone
two thousand miles i've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...
i'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...

Jason
Broken your servant I kneel
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me
Disturbed ~ Down With The Sickness
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat
Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Underneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're now on
Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is
One day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending
All these squawking birds won't quit
Building nothing, laying bricks.
Caring is Creepy ~ The Shins
news had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
news guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
cried so much his face was wet, then i knew he was not lying
i heard telephones, opera house, favourite tv's
my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
i had to cram so many things to store everything in there
and all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
and all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
i never thought i'd need so many people
a girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
if the black hadn't a-pulled her off, i think she would have killed them
a soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer
threw up at the sight of that
i think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
and it was cold and it rained so i felt like an actor
and i thought of ma and i wanted to get back there
your face, your race, the way that you talk
i kiss you, you're beautiful, i want you to walk
we've got five years, stuck on my eyes
we've got five years, what a surprise
we've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
we've got five years, that's all we've got
david bowie - five years
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In the chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lies a dozen
White roses on the grave
Yeah
And be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation
In everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Empty or insane
And be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Even when paid enough
And put upon
Or been held up
Every single memory of
Good or bad
Faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
Even with love
Be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Oh
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
Be Yourself ~ Audioslave :cool:
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
(Ahh Yeahhh)
You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper, now
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
Everything, everything...
When how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
Oh And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better any better than this
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this...
Jason
crash, then on their way
father, he enjoyed collisions
others walked away
the snowflake falls in may
and the doors are open now
as the bells are ringing out
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
nature has its own religion
gospel from the land
father ruled by long division
young men, they pretend
old men comprehend
and the sky breaks at dawn
shedding light upon this town
we all come 'round
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
and the road, the old men paved
the broken seams along the way
the rusted signs, they're just for me
he was guiding me, love, his own way
now the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
as the curtain comes down
i feel that this is just
goodbye for now
Jason
But I know that I just want to look some more
And I won't be satisfied
'Til there's nothing left that I haven't tried
For some people it's an easy choice
But for me there's a devil and an angel's voice
Well, I don't know what I'm looking for
But I know that I just want to look some more
Well, I don't know what I'm living for
But I know that I just want to live some more
And you hear it from the strangers and you hear it from friends
That love never dies and love never ends
And I don't want to argue, no I don't want to fight
'Cause you're always wrong and I'm always right
Well, I don't know what I'm living for
But I know that I just want to live some more
I used to be involved and I felt like a king
Now I've lost it all and I don't feel a thing
I may never grow up, I may never give in
And I blame this world that I live in
I visit hell on a daily basis
And I see the sadness in all your faces
I've got friends who are married and their lives seem complete
And here I am still stumbling down a darkened street
Darkened street...
And I act like a child and I'm insecure
And I'm filled with doubt and I'm immature
Sometimes it creeps up on me
And before I know it I'm lost at sea
But no matter how far I roam
I always find my way back home
But I don't know what I've been waiting for
But I know that I don't want to wait anymore
~ Brendan Benson
Jason, somehow....you've posted the song that fits the last three days for me. Sorry, I didn't think of this when I was speechless to everyone else these past days. The week ahead will be a hard one. "goodbye for now"
I'm wishing you a-well
mind at peace within your cell
covers up, I cast you off
I'll be watching as you breathe
I lie still, you move
I send you off around the bend
I hold your head deep in my arms
my fingertips they close your eyes
off you dream, my little child
there's a sun around the bend (yes)
there's a sun around the bend
all the evenings close like this
all these moments that I've missed
please forgive me, won't you, dear?
please forgive and let me share...
with you around the bend
"you're an angel when you sleep"
how I want your soul to keep
on and on around the bend
When you're all alone
And you need a light
Someone to guide you through the night
Just remember that I am here
To hold you close and dry your tears
Oh-ooh
And just when you thought you were falling
But you know I'll always be right there
When you're all alone
And you need a friend
Someone to help you to the end
When you need someone to catch you when you fall
I'll be there through it all
oh-oh
'Cause just when you thought you were losing
But you know I'll always be right there
And I'll be there through the good times
And the bad
And we'll be there for each other
'Cause you're the best friend I've ever had
And just when you thought you were falling
But you know I'll always be right there
oh-oooh whenever you need me
I'll always be right there.
Are you ever gonna live before you die
And when things fall apart
The world has come undone
Leave it all behind
Leave the loneliness alone
You wait forever blind
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
'Cause while you wait inside
The days go by
So all the memories fade
And the days go by
Forget the lonely yesterdays in mind
I know it's never gonna be the way you like
I know you don't wanna think about the endlessness you find
You wait forever blind
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
You're waiting for your time
All these days gone wrong
Who broke your fall
What a way to learn
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
Time is passing by
So come on and leave the years
When you watched the days go by
Come on and leave the fears
That you were afraid to find
'Cause while you wait inside
The days go by
Jason
(for all the sentimental saps out there)
........................................................
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anyway from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up...
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
I just want to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
................................................................
Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone.
They make it hard to leave you alone.
Leave you here wearinyour wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new.
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost cause.
There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go.
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares.
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost cause.
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause
There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
There's no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for?
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost
Baby I'm a lost cause
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause.
Come up to meet you,
Tell you I'm sorry,
You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Oh, let's go back to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Comin' up tails,
Its only science apart.
Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh, take me back to the start.
I was just guessing,
At numbers and figures,
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh, when I rush to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Chasin' tails,
Comin' back as we are.
Nobody said it was easy,
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm goin' back to the start.
Oh-ooooh...
Aaaah...
Well, a Scottsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

(repeat last line of previous verse)
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by,
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye:
"See yon sleeping Scottsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"
(Chours)
They crept up on that sleeping Scottsman quiet as could be;
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth.
(Chorus)
They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star the Scott's kilt did lift and show.
(Chorus)
Now the Scottsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees.
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees.
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,
"Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"
(Chorus)
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words, could not, explain
Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you, cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love…
Chorus:
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song cause you……make me feel brand new
My love, whenever I was insecure
You filled me up and made me sure
You gave, my pride, back to me
Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you, life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay, you for having faith in me. . . . .
Chorus:
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you. . . .
You…………(fade)
Jason
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is water down a drain
Everybody's moving
Everybody's moving
Everything is moving,
Moving, moving, moving
Please don't leave me to remain
In the waiting room
I don't want the news
(I cannot use it)
I don't want the news
(I won't live by it)
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
(Tell me why)
Because they can't get up
(Ahhh... Come on and get up)
(Come on and get up)
But I won't sit idly by
(Ahhh...)
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight
For what I want to be
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
Inside the waiting room
I don't want the news
(I cannot use it)
I don't want the news
(I won't live by it)
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
(Tell me why)
Because they can't get up
(Ahhh... Come on and get up)
Up from the waiting room
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
Sitting in the waiting room
(Ahhh...)
(Tell me why)
Because they can't get up
