Gun's N' Roses - November Rain


When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Learning To Fly
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Well it started out
Down a dirty road.
Started out
All alone.

And the sun went down
As I crossed the hill.
And the town lit up,
And the world got still.

I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

Well the good ol' days
May not return.
And the rocks might melt,
And the sea may burn.

I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

Well some say life
Will beat you down,
And BREAK YOUR HEART,
Steal your crown.

So it started out
For God-knows-where.
I guess I'll know
When I get there.

I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds.
What goes up
Must come down.

I'm learnin to fly
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

I'm learnin' to fly
Around the clouds.
But what goes up
Must come down.

I'm learnin' to fly.
I'm learnin' to fly.

What you want?
What you got
Live you life in a crawlspace

Help you out
But you don't
Want a chance at a better life

You said you never took a ride
And now you wanna play?

Well it's a big big city
Let me show you around sometime..
Sometime

And now
You crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now?

Too late
Too much
To forget about
Can't stop now
Tell me how does it feel now?

I'm only asking
Because i wanna know
How you wanna feel?

I'm a wreck
I'm a mess
I'm a spot on the pavement

I'm a number on the wall
I'll make you soul tired

And I don't think i like this game
No more

It goes around and round and round
You take it one more time
One more time
And now
You crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now?

Too late
Too much
To forget about
Can't stop now
Tell me how does it feel now?

I'm only asking
Because i wanna know
How you wanna feel?

My hands are trembling
And my eyes are on fire
This house is crumbling
Left brain, left out, on the wire

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

My past is perilous
But each scar I bear sings
Monuments to where I have been
And melodies to where I am going

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

When will I see you again?
Still-life can only go so far
I need you in front of me
Saying my name
Saying to me...
"I want you the way you are
You, the way you are"

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph
You make me happy

Oh, let me take a moment just to say how much I still positively adore this thread. Let's keep it a-flowin...

Watched from the window
Little red mosquito
I was not allowed to leave the room
I saw the sun go down and now it's comin' up
Somewhere in the time between

I was bitten
Must have been the devil
He was just payin' me a little visit
Oh, reminding me of his presence
Lettin' me know he's waiting, ohh

Red man's your neighbor
Call it behavior
And while you're climbing up slippery hills
Two steps ahead of you, punctures in your neck
Hoverin' just above your bed
Hoverin' just above your bed

I was bitten
Must have been the devil
He was just payin' me a little visit
Oh, reminding me of his presence
Lettin' me know he's waiting
He's waitin'... Hopin'... yeah

If I had known then, what I know now
If I had known then, what I know now
If I had known then, what I know now
If I had known then, what I know now...

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It's try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

May sound corny but I woke up with this song in my head this morning and it says everything I feel right now..someone's watching over me for sure...

Staind:

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Standing in the wind and rain, I'm underneath your wheels tonight,
Was underneath your heal tonight, this truth has brought us to our knees,
Waiting here out in the street a prisoner under these lights,
Was holding fast not holding tight, will time reward us some reprieve.

It's a lie we both believed (fall down)
Now you're lying here with me (fall down)

Just lay your head down

Reading through the news today, I'm picturing your fading smile,
I'm picturing your frozen eyes, those dreaded words slip from your lips,

Could we please just start again, without this sense of pending dread,
These thunderclouds mass overhead, without this cage around your bed love,

It's a lie we both believed (fall down)
Now you're lying here with me (fall down)

Just lay your head down

It's a lie we both believed (fall down)
Now you're lying here with me (fall down)
Can we try to make it clean (fall down)

It's a secret that's unspoken, t'was the cause of all your tears,
We'd rip the night wide open, t'was the morning that we feared,
There's glass upon this playground, there's cocaine in your church,
Is there water in this desert, is there water in this desert?

It Makes No Difference Lyrics



It makes no diff'rence where I turn
I can't get over you and the flame still burns
It makes no diff'rence, night or day
The shadow never seems to fade away
And the sun don't shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door

Now there's no love
As true as the love
That dies untold

But the clouds never hung so low before


It makes no diff'rence how far I go
Like a scar the hurt will always show
It makes no diff'rence who I meet
They're just a face in the crowd
On a dead-end street
And the sun don't shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door

These old love letters
Well, I just can't keep
'Cause like the gambler says
Read 'em and weep
And the dawn don't rescue me no more


Without your love I'm nothing at all
Like an empty hall it's a lonely fall
Since you've gone it's a losing battle
Stampeding cattle
They rattle the walls

And the sun don't shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door

Well, I love you so much
It's all I can do
Just to keep myself from telling you
That I never felt so alone before

vmfury

I never thought I'd grow up so fast, so far
To know yourself is to let yourself be loved

And I want to be addicted
I want to be secure
I want to wake up after the night before
But do you get me?
Do you ever get me?

I'll press your hand against my face
Weaken my resistance
I'll pull the sheets over our heads
Let the broken sky break above our heads.

And I want to be addictive
I want to be secure
I want to wake up after the night before
But do you get me?
Do you ever get me?

Shower me with affection
And I'll return it kindly
I have no hidden motive
I am blind

I'm a stone inside a box
I'm a spring inside a clock
You can wear me on your wrist
And I'll tell you things ten thousand times
But do you get me?
Do you ever get me?

Oh please let it rain today. This city's so filthy. Like my mind in ways.
Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste.
Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.

Sin for sale. Buying just a need. O who planted all the devils seeds?
And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home.
It's on the inside and I can't get it off. Yeah.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.

What's clean is pure. But hey, I'm white on the outside. Though I stray.
What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow. Bring it back someway.
Bring it back, back, back... to the clean form. To the pure form.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Yeah
Wash my ...wash my...wash my love....yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh

I will light the match this morning, so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
Oh I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh I will make my way, through, one more day in...hell

How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

I will hold the candle, till it burns up my arm
I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down, until my eyes go blind
Hey I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make..
how much difference...

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

How much difference
How much difference
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love

Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I stil believe
And it's

It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Love...~

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
"Wait, what's the sense in life?
Come over me, come over me"

He said,

"Son, why you got to sing that tune?
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see...you will see."

Then he said,

"Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I..."

Picked up my kid from school today
"Did you learn anything 'cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me"

He said,

"Dad, I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well, we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"

"And hey dad
Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I..."

I said,

"Son, for all I've told you
When you get right down to the reason for the world
Who am I?"

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said
"You looking for a clue?
I love you free..."

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it, man, you know we got it all
'Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I.

I Am A Patriot
Jackson Browne

And the river opens for the righteous (5 times)
Someday

I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what's on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our backs this time


I am a patriot
And I love my county
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
The people who understand me
I've got nowhere else to go


And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday


And I was talking with my sister
She looked so fine
I said, Baby, what's on your mind?
She said, I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart tonight


And I ain't no communist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
And I ain't no republican
I only know one party
And it is freedom


I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot
And I love my country
Because my country is all I know


And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday


And the river opens for the righteous...

:rolleyes:

Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the thing's I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause i don't take anymore
or this, I want to come apart.
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious heart

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than a little "girl" inside
That cries out for attention
though I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

locked

step out the front door
like a ghost into the fog
where no one notices the contrast of white on white.
and in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

i walk in the air,
between the rain,
through myself
and back again where?
i don't know

maria says she's dying,
through the door i hear her crying why?
i don't know

round here
we always stand up straight
round here
something radiates

maria came from nashville with a suitcase in her hand
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like elvis.
she walks along the edge of where
the ocean meets the land
just like she's walking on a wire
in the circus.
she parks her car outside of my house
and takes her clothes off,
says she's close to understanding Jesus.
she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood,
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous.

round here
we're carving out our names
round here
we all look the same
round here we talk just like lions,
but we sacrifice like lambs
round here
she's slipping through my hands

oohhh sleeping children better run like the wind,
out of the lightning dream
mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning

she says "it's only in my head."
she says "sshhh...i know it's only in my head."

but the girl on the car in the parking lot says:
"man, you should try to take a shot.
can't you see my walls are crumblin?"
then she looks up at the building
and says she's thinkin of jumping.
she says she's tired of life,
she must be tired of something.

round here
she's always on my mind
round here
(hey man)i got lots of time
round here we're never sent to bed early
and nobody makes us wait
round here we stay up very, very, very, very late.

i can't see nothing, nothing round here (oh)
won't you catch me if i'm falling?
won't you catch me if i'm falling?
won't you catch me cuz i'm falling down on you.

see i'm under the gun
round here
oh man i said i'm under the gun
round here
and i can't see nothing, nothing
ROUND HEEEEREEEE....

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall.
