Watching The Wheels
John Lennon
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -
Proud swagger out of the school yard
Waiting for the world's applause
Rebel without a conscience
Martyr without a cause
Static on your frequency
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
Straining at invisible chains
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Can't face life on a razor's edge
Nothing's what you thought it would be
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me
It's not as if this barricade
Blocks the only road
It's not as if you're all alone
In wanting to explode
Someone set a bad example
Made surrender seem all right
The act of a noble warrior
Who lost the will to fight
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Done with life on a razor's edge
Nothing's what you thought it would be
No hero in your tragedy
No daring in your escape
No salutes for your surrender
Nothing noble in your fate
Christ, what have you done?
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me

Change -Blind Melon
I don't feel the suns coming out today
It's staying in, its gonna find another way
As I sit here in this misery I don't think I'll ever see the sun from here
And oh as I fade away, they'll all look at me and say,
Hey look at him I'll never live that way
But that's ok their just afraid to change
When you feel your life ain't worth living, you've got to stand up and
take a look around you then a look way up to the sky
And when your deepest thoughts are broken, keep on dreamin boy cause
when you stop dreamin its time to die
And as we all play parts of tomorrow
Some ways we'll work and other ways we'll play
But I know we can't all stay hhere forever
So I want to write my words on the face of today
.....And then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away they'll all look at me and say,
hey look at him and where he is these days
When life is hard you have to change"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -
Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you
I'm sad not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsaken thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish,you don't see what you're doing
to me
I keep on looking through the window again
No, I'm not sorry if I do insult you Owow!
No, I'm not sorry if I do insult you
(chorus)
You told me lies
(And I sighed, and i sighed, and i sighed)
'Cos you lied, lied and
(I cried, yes i cried, yes i cried)
(I cry, I cry, I try) again
I realize as
(he sighed, and he sighed, and he sighed)
'Cos you lied, lied and
(I cried, yes I cried, yes I cried)
(I cry, I cry, I try ) again
Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you
I'm sad not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsaken thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish, you don't see you're doing to
me
I keep on looking through the window again
No I'm not sorry if do detest you Owow!
No I'm not sorry if do detest you
(chorus)
keep on looking through the window again
keep on looking through the window againI know someday you will have a beautiful Life

Who Wants to Live Forever-Queen
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever . . . . . ?
Oh ooo oh
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Ooh
Who dares to love forever
Oh oo woh, when love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway ?"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -

Silent Lucidity...Queensryche
Hush now, don't you cry,
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye.
You're lying safe in bed,
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head.
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain,
Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life).
So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day.
The dream is over, or has it just begun....?
There's a place I like to hide,
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize, and you were scared.
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears
Retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind.
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to you
In silent lucidity
Visualise your dream,
Record it in the present tense,
Put it into a permanent form,
If you persist in all efforts,
You can achieve dream control...
...dream control...
...dream control...
::whispered:: (help me)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see.
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down; a new world will begin.
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly.
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize your dream's alive
You can be the guide, but...
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to youThroughout the course of our lives,we will meet many great people. Friends, family, strangers who somehow cross your path and enemies; they all have something to teach you. Some will leave deep footprints and others will not. Just be sure to wipe your feet before you step into someone's heart.0 -
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...

Swamp Music-Lynrd Skynrd
Going down to the swamp
Gonna watch me a hound dog catch a 'coon
Well, I going down to the swamp
Gonna watch me a hound dog catch a 'coon
You kow the hounddog make a music
On a summer night under a full moon
Fetch my cane pole mama
Gonna catch a bream or maybe two
Fetch my cane pole mama
Gonna catch a bream or maybe two
And when the hound dog starts barkin'
Sounds like ol' Son House singin' the blues
Hound dog sing that
Swamp, swamp swamp, swamp music
Swamp, swamp swamp, swamp music
When the hound dog starts singin'
I ain't got them big ol' city blues
Well, hey pretty mama
Just take that city hike
Said go ahead pretty mama
Just take your city hike
Well, I'd rather live with the hounddogs
For the rest of my natural born life
Singing that
Swamp, swamp swamp, swamp music
Swamp, swamp swamp, swamp music
Well, I'd rather live with the hounddogs
For the rest of my natural born life
Well, I'd wanna live with the hound dogs
For the rest of my natural born life"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -
Let's say I'm feeling better
Let's say I'm feeling fine
Let's say I gave you all I had
And now I'm out of time
And the best wasn't good enough
And now there's time to wonder
Now there's time to heal
Time to let it all come down
And i don't know what i feel
And it aches and it hurts and it burns
Oh it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Now don't you call me baby
Just don't pretend you care
Save your sorry for yourself
When Judas takes you there,
and he will take you there
whooooooo yeah
Once I really believed
There was nothing out there for the lost and lonely
But a voice in my head kept banging on my heart
Says you're not the only one
Oooooooooooooooooooh
But it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
I'll do it all again
I'll do it all again
I'll do it all again
I'll do it all agaaaain
I'll do it all again
I'll do it all again
I'll do it all agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
I'll do it all again
I'll do it all again
I'll do it all again
But I'll do it all again

Stay tonight,
Let me hold you like I never did before.
Take my arms,
And let me hold you like I never did before.
And I should have tried just to talk about this,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know that I'm,
Still here,
So before you let me go...
Take my hands,
Let me touch you like I never did before.
Take my heart and let me love you,
Like I never did before,
Like I never did before.
And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And we see ourselves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So before you let me go.
Before you let me go.....
Save the dance and let me spin you,
Till your world is turning round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
Save the chance and let me show you,
Just like you need a little more,
Just like you need a little more.
And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see oursleves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.
So before you let me go...
Before you let me go...
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see oursleves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.
But we wast it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And now we bruise with every step.
When we're closing every door.
Can we make it easier.
Some time?
Some time...I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

don't be shy
just let your feelings roll on by
don't wear fear
or nobody will know you're there
just lift your head
and let your feelings out instead
and don't be shy
just let your feelings roll on by
on by, on by, on by...
you know love is better than this song
love is where all of us belong
so don't be shy
just let your feelings roll on by
and don't wear fear
or nobody will know you're there
you're there, you're there, you're there...
so don't be shy
just let your feelings roll on by
and don't wear fear
or no one will know you're there
you know love is better than a song
love is where all of us belong
belong, belong, belong...I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

There is something exciting about leaving everything behind
There is something deep and pulling, leaving everything behind
Something about having everything you think you'll ever need
Sitting in the seat next to you
And I watch
Another white dash
Another white dash
Another white dash
Fly beside us
And I watch
Another white dash
Another white dash
Another white dash
Fly beneath us
Away, away
There is yelling on an engine
A constant rattling door
There is serious deep and mumbled
A conversation I'm not in
Flickering lights, shadows of trees makes me blink my eyes
It makes the land appear like a really old movie
-- CHORUS --
I've got a heart full of rubberbands
That keep getting caught on things
And I count
Another white dash
Another white dash
Another white dash
I drift off at eighty... something
And I count
Another white dash
Another white dash
Another white dash
Out of time for music
And I watch
Another white dash
Another white dash
Fly beside us
And I watch
Another white dash
Another white dash
Another white dash
Fly beneath us
Mmm, there is something exciting about leaving everything behind
There is something deep and pulling leaving everything behind
Something about having everything you think you'll ever need
Sitting in the seat next to you"It only hurts when I breathe"~ Greenwheel
"Love is a tower of strength to me"
"I wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me"
"I'll ride the wave where it takes me"
"I did what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you"
"I hold the hand that holds me down... I will RISE ABOVE!"
"Shit, solo or something"~ Eddie Vedder
"The best way to change something that's around you, something you don't like, is to change yourself. And I don't think you want other people changing you, I think the only person that can change you is yourself. So if you ain't happy, if you're reading magazines about generation x-ers and thinking 'yeah, I'm one of them', well fuck that. Don't let anyone tell you who you are. No, no. No one can tell me who I am."~ Eddie Vedder (9/26/96)0 -
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 bendI know someday you will have a beautiful Life

DISPATCH - OUT LOUD
would you be the wind to blow me home
would you be a dream
on the wings of a poem
and if you were walking through a crowd
you know I'd be proud
if you call my name out loud
do you suppose that I would come running
do you suppose I'd come at all
I suppsose I would
and if we were walking
down a dead end street
would you be the one to let our eyes meet
or would you just keep on walking
down to the turn around
'cause you know I'd be proud
chorus
and if I was gone from the land we know
would you be the dawn
and let your beauty still show
and if you were walking
and heard the cold night coming
would you call my name
'cause you know I'd come runningno time like the present0 -
I WISH I WERE BLIND
I love to see the cottonwood blossom
In the early spring
I love to see the message of love
That the bluebird brings
But when I see you walkin' with him
Down along the strand
I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man
I love to see your hair shining
In the long summer's light
I love to watch the stars fill the sky
On a summer night
The music plays you take his hand
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
And I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
And these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
Now fill me with pain
And the light that once entered here
Is banished from me
And this darkness is all baby that my heart sees
And though the world is filled
With the grace and beauty of God's hand
Oh I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man
--Springsteen...tramps like us...
I miss you Daddy.....10/12/070 -
It's not all been said...been said and done...
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave
Already...in love...
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love
Already...in love... already... in love
...follows torture...follows reward...
Oh, oh my butt...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck Satan's dick...
Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
'Magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...
Already...in love...
Already...sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...0 -
The World I know-Collective Soul
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why.
Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
As the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know."I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -
Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiohead
The breath of the morning,
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air.
I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing,
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement.
High up above, aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home.
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits,
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets.
They're all...
Uptight

Uuup.....
I wish that they'd swoop down, in a country lane,
Late at night when I'm driving.
Take me onboard their beautiful ship, show me the world as I'd love to see it.
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars, and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away, but I'd be alright.
I'm aaalriiiight........alright.
I'm just...

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who’s all dressed up like a union jack
And says, I’ve won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
The telephone is ringing
I say, "hi, it’s me. who is it there on the line? "
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you
Well, I guess I’m doin’ fine"
He says, "it’s three a.m., there’s too much noise
Don’t you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just ’cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head? "
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don’t hang around ’cause two’s a crowd
On my cloudsometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...0
