    I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
    I wish I was a sacrifice that somehow still lived on
    I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
    The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
    I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the sound
    of 50 million hands upraised and open towards the sky

    I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me!
    I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
    I wish I was the full moon shining off her Camaro's hood

    I wish I was a living being at home behind the sun
    I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
    I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
    I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

    I wish I was a radio song, the one that you couldn't turn off
    I wish...
    I wish...

    I guess it never stops

    Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
    Her legs spread out before me as her body once did
    All five horizons revolved around her soul
    As the earth to the sun
    Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
    Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
    Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
    And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
    Of what was everything?
    Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...

    I take a walk outside
    I'm surrounded by some kids at play
    I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
    Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
    I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can, drop away
    And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything
    All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

    All the love gone bad turned my world to black
    Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
    Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
    Can't it be, can't it be mine...

    Wish you were here...

    It's been a mystery
    but still they try to see
    why something good can hurt so bad
    Caught on a one way street
    the taste of bittersweet
    Love will survive somehow, some way

    One love feeds the fire
    One heart burns desire
    one love, who's crying now
    Two hearts born to roam
    Who'll be the lonely one
    one love, who's crying now

    So many stormy nights
    So many wrongs or rights
    Neither could change their headstrong ways
    And in a lover's rage
    they tore another page
    The fighting is worth the love they save

    Only so many tears you can cry
    Till the heartache is over
    And now you can say your love
    Will never die

    Whoa ooh oh ooh oh
    Wah hoo oh hoo oh

    Wish you were here...

    I took my love and I took it down
    I climbed a mountain and I turned around
    And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
    'Til the landslide brought me down

    Oh, mirror in the sky
    What is love?
    Can the child within my heart rise above?
    Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
    Can I handle the seasons of my life?

    Mmm Mmm... I don't know... Mmm Mmm... Mmm Mmm...

    Well, I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Children get older
    I'm getting older too

    So...

    I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I, I´ve built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Children get older
    I'm getting older too...
    I'm getting older too...

    So, take this love, take it down
    Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
    If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Well the landslide will bring you down, down

    And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Well maybe... The landslide will bring you down
    Well well... the landslide will bring you down

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad

    Is it getting better
    Or do you feel the same
    Will it make it easier on you now
    You got someone to blame
    You say...

    One love
    One life
    When it's one need
    In the night
    One love
    We get to share it
    Leaves you baby if you
    Don't care for it

    Did I disappoint you
    Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
    You act like you never had love
    And you want me to go without
    Well it's...

    Too late
    Tonight
    To drag the past out into the light
    We're one, but we're not the same
    We get to
    Carry each other
    Carry each other
    One...

    Have you come here for forgiveness
    Have you come to raise the dead
    Have you come here to play Jesus
    To the lepers in your head

    Did I ask too much
    More than a lot
    You gave me nothing
    Now it's all I got
    We're one
    But we're not the same
    Well we
    Hurt each other
    Then we do it again
    You say
    Love is a temple
    Love a higher law
    Love is a temple
    Love the higher law
    You ask me to enter
    But then you make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what you got
    When all you got is hurt

    One love
    One blood
    One life
    You got to do what you should
    One life
    With each other
    Sisters
    Brothers
    One life
    But we're not the same
    We get to
    Carry each other
    Carry each other

    One...life

    One

    Wish you were here...

    Those who start Wars, never fight them

    And those who fight Wars, they never like them

    And those who write Laws, can recite them

    And those who fight Laws, they live & die by them"

    Those who build Walls are pretending

    That Forever they can defend them

    Those who dam streams can build fountains

    Those of us who just let them run Free

    Can move mountains.....

    8-) -->

    Sometimes there's no star shining
    Scouting the edge of the universe
    Sometimes you can't see the horizon
    Between the ocean and the earth

    And just when you're thinking about slinkin' down
    I'm gonna pull you up!
    I'm gonna pull ya round!
    Did I remind you of that scene?
    Our spirit is our gasoline
    May I remind you of that scene?
    Let a million mirror balls beam
    We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
    May I remind you of that scene?

    And you say "living is nothing but hassles"
    In a Manilla envelope rain
    And driving coal all night to Newcastle
    It's getting to be, a repetitive strain!
    but just when you thought you're goin' down the drain

    May I remind you of that scene?
    Our spirit is our gasoline
    May I remind you of that scene?
    We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
    May I remind you of that scene?
    Let a million mirror balls beam
    May I remind you of that scene?

    I'm gonna pull you up, I'm gonna pull ya round!

    May I remind you of that scene?
    Our spirit is our gasoline
    May I remind you of that scene?
    We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
    May I remind you of that scene?
    Let a million mirror balls beam
    May I remind you of that scene?
    We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

    They say the stars can't see their rays
    Nor can they count their numbered days
    No flower can says what perfume is
    We got all this and bird and dis
    May I remind you of that scene?
    We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

    May I remind you of that scene?

    I hope some day you'll have a beautiful life...
    I hope you'll be a star...
    In somebody else's sky...
    But, why, why, why can it be, can it be mine......

    Wish you were here...

    One...Two...One...Two
    Know a man
    His face seemed pulled and tense
    Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
    In the strongest winds
    So I approach with tact
    Suggest that he should relax
    But he's always movin' much too fast

    Said he'll see me on the flip side
    On this trip he's taken for a ride
    He's been takin' too much on
    There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
    There he goes

    He's yet to come back
    But I've seen his picture
    It doesn't look the same up on the rack
    We go way back
    I wonder 'bout his insides
    It's like his thoughts are too big for his size

    He's been taken...where, I don't know
    Off he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
    There he goes

    And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
    It seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
    For he still smiles... And he's still strong
    Nothing's changed but the surroundin' bullshit
    That has grown

    And now he's home and we're laughin'
    Like we always did, my same old, same old friend
    Until a quarter to ten
    I saw the strain creep in
    He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next

    Before his first step, he's off again

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad

    I hear the waves, sun beating down on my shoulders
    its a near perfect day, wishing I wouldn't get any older

    soak it all in - its a game you can't win - enjoy the ride...

    and if you're to busy talkin, you're not busy listening, to hear what the land has to say...

    quite your mind....

    We were born before the wind
    also younger than the sun
    ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
    hark, now hear the sailors cry
    smell the sea and feel the sky

    Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic...

    and when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
    I don't have to fear it...

    and I want to Rock your Gypsy Soul...
    just like way back in the days of old
    and magnificently we will flow into the mystic...

    when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
    and when that fog horn whistle blows, I got to hear it
    I dont have to fear it...

    And I want to Rock your Gypsy Soul...
    just like way back when the days of old

    and together we will flow into the mystic....

    For someone very special to me....

    so we live in our old van, travel all across this land
    Me and You...

    we'll end up hand in hand, somewhere down on the sand
    Just Me and You...

    Just as Free, free as we'll ever be...
    just as free, free as we'll ever be...

    drive until the city lights, dissolve into a Country Sky
    just Me and You...

    lay underneath the harvest moon, do all the thing that Lovers do...
    just Me and You...

    just a free, free as we'll ever be, just a free, free as we'll ever be...

    No we don't have a lot of money
    no we don't have a lot of money
    no we don't have a lot of money

    all we need is love...

    we're free as we'll ever be, just as free, free as we'll ever be...

    so we live in our old van
    travel all across this land

    Me and You...

    I saw myself today
    I`ve smiled and looked away
    Saddened by my visible life
    Sorrow cut me like a knife
    Nobody knows you without any doubt
    Nobody wants to know you, when you`re down and out

    So sing a hymn for my soul
    Stand by me as I grow
    I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
    Sing a hymn for my soul

    I saw myself today
    Didn`t like what I had to say
    So right, I could only be wrong
    Trouble is when I`m alone
    No doubt, no self-control, not a reason to cry
    I feel like empty rain, through an empty sky

    So Sing a hymn for my soul
    Stand by me as I grow
    I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
    So sing a hymn for my soul

    I saw myself today
    I looked good, yes I had to say
    Polished TV won`t shine no more
    Flyin` dragons surround my door
    Even when I go crazy
    To my own self I`ll be true
    Ain`t nobody`s business what I do

    So sing a hymn for my soul
    Stand by me as I grow
    I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Tell me about it

    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Stand by me as I grow
    Won`t you stand by me
    Little girl, you know it
    Sing a hymn for my soul
    One more

    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Stand by me as I grow
    I`m just tryin` to climb up nine hills in seven short days
    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Let`s go home

    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Stand by me as I grow
    Won`t you do that for me
    Take me all the way home
    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Sing a hymn for my soul
    Come on baby
    Stand by me as I grow

    I had a dream that we were lovers,
    I had a joke and she would smile when I'd say,
    We could blow, blow a fuse in heaven
    Well today, all the lights went out in heaven.
    And I knew that she was all that I needed.

    Just gonna stand there...
    And watch me burn...
    But that's alright...
    Because I like the way it hurts...

    Just gonna stand there...
    And hear me cry...
    But that's alright...
    Because I love the way you lie...
    I love the way you lie...

    Wish you were here...

    I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
    not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
    Life is good today, Life is good today...

    Well, the plane touched down just about 3 o'clock
    and the city's still on my mind
    bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
    I was still in the baggage line
    concrete and cars are there own prison bars
    like this life I'm living in....

    But the plane brought me farther
    I'm surrounded by water
    and I'm not going back again...

    Yeah I'm leaving GA
    and if it weren't for the tequila and pretty senoritas
    I'd have no reason to stay
    gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
    and grab my guitar and play...

    four days flew by like a drunk Friday night as the summer drew to an end
    they can't believe that I just couldn't leave
    and I bid adieu to my friends
    because my barender she's from the islands
    her body's been kissed by the sun
    and coconut replaces the smell of the bar and I don't know if its her or the sun....

    Give A Little Bit lyrics
    Songwriters: Hodgson, Roger; Davies, Rick;


    Give a little bit
    Give a little bit of your love to me
    I'll give a little bit
    I'll give a little bit of my love to you
    There's so much that we need to share
    So send a smile and show you care

    (Alright)
    I'll give a little bit
    I'll give a little bit of my life for you
    So give a little bit
    Give a little bit of your time to me
    See the man with the lonely eyes
    Oh, take his hand, you'll be surprised
    (Oh take his hand)

    Give a little bit
    Give a little bit of your love to me
    I'll give a little bit
    I'll give a little bit of my life for you
    Now's the time that we need to share
    So find yourself, we're on our way back home

    Ohh goin' home
    Don't you need, don't you need to feel at home?

    Childhood living is easy to do. The things you wanted, I
    bought them for you. Graceless lady, you know who I am,
    you know I can't let you slide through my hands. Wild horses
    couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me
    away.

    I watched you suffer a dull aching pain. Now you decided to
    show me the same. No sweeping exits or offstage lines,
    can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.Wild Horses,
    couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me
    away.

    I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, I have my freedom but I
    don't have much time. Faith has been broken tears must be
    cried, let's do some living after we die. Wild Horses, couldn't
    drag me away. Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

    Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses, we'll
    ride them someday...

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad
