    Life inside the music box ain't easy
    The mallets hit the gears are always turning
    And everyone inside the mechanism
    Is yearning
    To get out
    And sing another melody completely
    So different from the one they're always singing
    I close my eyes and think that i have found me
    But then i feel mortality surround
    I want to sing another melody
    So different from the one i always sing
    But when i do the dishes
    I run the water very, very, very hot
    And then i fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap
    And then i set all the bottle caps i own afloat
    And it's the greatest voyage in the history of plastic
    And then i slip my hands in and start to make waves
    And then i dip my tongue in a take a taste
    It tastes like soap but it doesn't really taste like soap
    And then i lower in my whole mouth and take a gulp
    ...and start to feel mortality sorround me
    I close my eyes and think that i have found me
    But life inside the music box ain't easy
    The mallets hit the gears are always turning
    And every one inside the mechanism
    Is yearning to get out...
  • If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through?
    Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel
    I've been waiting out the days,... Come Back.

    I have been planning out,... All that I'd say to you
    Since you slipped away,... Know that I still remain true
    I've been wishing out the days,..

    Please say, that if you hadn't of gone now
    I wouldn't have lost you another way
    From wherever you are,.... Come Back.

    And these days, they linger on
    And I'm the night, as I'm waiting on
    The real possibility I may meet you in my dream
    I go to sleep

    If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear
    So you had to go,......... and I had to remain here

    But the strangest thing to date
    So far away
    And yet you feel so close
    And I'm not gonna question it any other way

    There must be an open door
    For you to
    Come Back

    And the days, they linger on
    And every night, what I'm waiting for
    Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream

    And sometimes you're there
    And you're talking back to me
    Come the morning I could swear you're next to me

    And it's okay.

    It's okay.
    It's okay.

    I'll be here
    Come Back
    Come Back

    I'll be here
    Come Back
    Come Back

    I'll be here
    Come Back
    Come Back

    I will come for you at night time
    I will raise you from your sleep
    I will kiss you in four places
    I'll go running along your street
    I will squeeze the life out of you
    You will make me laugh and make me cry
    We will never forget it
    You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the bluesummer sky
    We may never meet again
    So shed your skin and lets get started
    And you will throw your arms around me

    I dreamed of you at night time
    And I watched you in your sleep
    I met you in high places
    I touched your head and touched your feet
    So if you dissapear out of view
    You know, I will never say goodbye
    Though I try to forget it
    You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the bluesummer sky

    We may never meet again
    So shed your skin and lets get started
    And you will throw your arms around me
    Yeah you will throw you arms around me
    (repeat to end)
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

  • To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real
    To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream
    You do something to me
    That I can't explain
    So would I be out of line, If I said
    I miss you.
    I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine
    You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
    I know I'll see you again
    Whether far or soon
    But I need you to know, that I care
    And I miss you

    Hey remember the time when I found a human tooth down on Delancey?
    Hey remember that time we decided to kiss anywhere except the mouth?
    Hey remember that time when my favorite colors were pink and green?
    Hey remember that month when I only ate boxes of tangerines?
    So cheap and juicy, tangerines.

    Hey remember that time when I would only read Shakespeare?
    Hey remember that other time when I would only read the backs of cereal boxes?
    Hey remember that time I tried to save a pigeon with a broken wing?
    A street cat got him by morning and I had to bury pieces of his body in my building's playground?
    I thought I was going to be sick, I thought I was going to be sick.

    hey boy, take a look at me
    let me dirty up your mind
    i'll strip away your hard veneer
    and see what i can find

    the queerest of the queer
    the strangest of the strange
    the coldest of the cool
    the lamest of the lame
    the numbest of the dumb
    i hate to see you here
    you choke behind a smile
    a fake behind the fear
    the queerest of the queer

    this is what he pays me for
    i'll show you how it's done
    you learn to love the pain you feel
    like father like son

    the queerest of the queer
    hide inside your head
    the blindest of the blind
    the deadest of the dead
    you're hungry cause you starve
    while holding back the tears
    choking on your smile
    a fake behind the fear
    the queerest of the queer

    i know what's good for you (You can touch me if you want)
    i know you're dying to (You can touch me if you want)
    i know what's good for you (You can touch me if you want)
    but you can't stop

    the queerest of the queer
    the strangest of the strange
    the coldest of the cool
    the lamest of the lame
    the numbest of the dumb
    i hate to see you here
    you choke behind a smile
    a fake behind the fear
    the queerest of the queer
    the strangest of the strange
    the coldest of the cool
    you're nothing special here
    a fake behind the fear
    the queerest of the queer

    i know what's good for you
    i know you're dying to
    i know what's good for you
    i bet you're dying to
    you can touch me if you want
    you can touch me if you want
    you can touch me
    you can touch me
    but you can't stop

    ;):p:D
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    Keep you in the dark
    And so it all began

    Send in your skeletons
    Sing as their bones go marching in...again
    They need you buried deep
    The secrets that you keep are ever ready
    Are you ready?
    I'm finished making sense
    Done pleading ignorance
    That whole defense

    Spinning infinity, boy
    The wheel is spinning me
    It's never-ending, never-ending
    Same old story

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?

    In time or so I'm told
    I'm just another soul for sale...oh well
    The page is out of print
    We are not permanent
    We're temporary, temporary
    Same old story

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?

    I'm the voice inside your head
    You refuse to hear
    I'm the face that you have to face
    Mirrored in your stare
    I'm what's left, I'm what's right
    I'm the enemy
    I'm the hand that will take you down
    Bring you to your knees

    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?

    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?

    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    Times are hard and rents are high
    What can a working girl do
    But struggle through another day
    Then I'll take care of you

    Nights are long and dreams are cold
    If they're all you wake up to
    But should you rise with crying eyes
    I'll take care of you

    So let them talk about us
    Let them call us funny things
    People sometimes do
    I don't care as long
    As you know I love you
    Oh, and you know I do

    I'll be there, but you might not see me
    It's never easy to get through
    But when the laughter dies away
    I'll take care of you

    I'll be there, but you might not see me
    It's never easy to get through
    But when the laughter dies away
    Then I'll take care of you

    Darling, I'll take care of you

    POD "Youth of the nation" :) amazing video, and haunting video

    Last day of the rest of my life
    I wish I would've known
    Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye

    I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
    Or thank my pops for all the talks
    And all the wisdom he shared

    Unaware, I just did what I always do
    Everyday, the same routine
    Before I skate off to school

    But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
    Instead of taking a test
    I took two to the chest

    Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
    Everybody was running
    But I couldn't hear nothing

    Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
    I don't really know this kid
    Even though I sit by him in class

    Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
    Or maybe for a moment
    He forgot who he was
    Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
    Whatever it was
    I know it's because

    [chorus:]
    We are, We are, the youth of the nation

    Little Suzy, she was only twelve
    She was given the world
    With every chance to excel

    Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
    She might act kind of proud
    But no respect for herself

    She finds love in all the wrong places
    The same situations
    Just different faces

    Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
    Too bad he never told her
    She deserved much better

    Johnny boy always played the fool
    He broke all the rules
    So you would think he was cool

    He was never really one of the guys
    No matter how hard he tried
    Often thought of suicide

    It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
    He put his life to an end
    They might remember him then

    You cross the line and there's no turning back
    Told the world how he felt
    With the sound of a gat

    [chorus]

    Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
    No matter what you say
    It don't take away the pain

    That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
    Don't nobody know why
    It's the blind leading the blind

    I guess that's the way the story goes
    Will it ever make sense
    Somebody's got to know

    There's got to be more to life than this
    There's got to be more to everything
    I thought exists

    if you could read my mind - gordon lightfoot.


    If you could read my mind love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    Just like an old time movie
    bout a ghost from a wishin well
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    With chains upon my feet
    You know that ghost is me
    And I will never be set free
    As long as Im a ghost that you cant see
    If I could read your mind love
    What a tale your thoughts could tell
    Just like a paperback novel
    The kind that drugstores sell
    When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    The hero would be me
    But heroes often fail
    And you wont read that book again
    Because the endings just too hard to take

    Id walk away like a movie star
    Who gets burned in a three way script
    Enter number two
    A movie queen to play the scene
    Of bringing all the good things out in me
    But for now love, lets be real
    * I never thought I could act this way *
    And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
    I dont know where we went wrong
    But the feelins gone
    And I just cant get it back

    If you could read my mind love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    Just like an old time movie
    bout a ghost from a wishin well
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    With chains upon my feet
    But stories always end
    And if you read between the lines
    Youll know that Im just tryin to understand
    The feelins that you lack
    I never thought I could feel this way
    And Ive got to say that I just to get it
    I dont know where we went wrong
    But the feelins gone
    And I just cant get it back
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    I just listened to that, Johnny Cash version. It's so dramatic, his voice is wavering he was so frail when he recorded it.

    Well brunettes are fine man
    And blondes are fun
    But when it comes to getting the dirty job done

    I'll take a red headed woman
    A red headed woman
    It takes a read headed woman
    To get a dirty job done

    Well listen up stud
    Your life's been wasted
    'Til you've got down on your knees and tasted

    A red headed woman
    A red headed woman
    It takes a read headed woman
    To get a dirty job done

    Tight skirt, strawberry hair
    Tell me what you've got baby, waiting under there
    Big green eyes that look like sun
    They can see every cheap thing that you ever done

    Well I don't know how many girls you've dated, man
    But you ain't lived till you've had your tires rotated

    By a red headed woman
    A red headed woman
    It takes a read headed woman
    To get a dirty job done
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    I hold this letter in my hand
    A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
    I hope it does as I have planned
    Losing her is more than I can bear
    I kiss the cold, white envelope
    I press my lips against her name
    Two hundred words. We live in hope
    The sky hangs heavy with rain

    Love Letter Love Letter
    Go get her Go get her
    Love Letter Love Letter
    Go tell her Go tell her

    A wicked wind whips up the hill
    A handful of hopeful words
    I love her and I always will
    The sky is ready to burst
    Said something I did not mean to say
    Said something I did not mean to say
    Said something I did not mean to say
    It all came out the wrong way

    Love Letter Love letter
    Go get her Go get her
    Love Letter Love letter
    Go tell her Go tell her

    Rain your kisses down upon me
    Rain your kisses down in storms
    And for all who'll come before me
    In your slowly fading forms
    I'm going out of my mind
    Will leave me standing in
    The rain with a letter and a prayer
    Whispered on the wind

    Come back to me
    Come back to me
    O baby please come back to me
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

  • Trade the snow for the beach :D

    I'll be home for Christmas,
    You can count on me.
    Please have snow and mistletoe
    And presents under the tree.
    Christmas Eve will find me,
    Where the love light gleams.
    I'll be home for Christmas,
    If only in my dreams.

    Dashing through the bush
    In a rusty Holden Ute
    Kicking up the dust
    Esky in the boot
    Kelpie by my side
    Singing Christmas songs
    It's summer time and I am in
    My singlet, shorts & thongs
    CHORUS:
    OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
    JINGLE ALL THE WAY
    CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
    ON A SCORCHING SUMMER'S DAY
    JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
    CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
    OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
    IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

    Engine's getting hot
    Dodge the kangaroos
    Swaggy climbs aboard
    He is welcome too
    All the family is there
    Sitting by the pool
    Christmas day, the Aussie way
    By the barbecue!

    CHORUS

    Come the afternoon
    Grandpa has a doze
    The kids and uncle Bruce
    Are swimming in their clothes
    The time comes round to go
    We take a family snap
    Then pack the car and all shoot through
    Before the washing up
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

  • Don't it make you smile?
    Don't it make you smile?
    When the sun don't shine? shine at all
    Don't it make you smile?

    Don't it make you smile?
    Don't it make me smile?
    When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all
    Don't it make me smile?

    I miss you already... I miss you always
    I miss you already... I miss you all day
    This is how I feel...

    I miss you already... I miss you always
    Three crooked hearts and swirls all around... I miss you all day
