    I took a trip on a train
    and I thought about you
    I passed a shadowy lane
    and I thought about you

    Two or three cars parked under the stars
    winding stream
    moon shining down on some little town
    and with each beam,
    the same old dream

    And every stop that we made
    Oh, I thought about you
    and when I pulled down the shade
    then I really felt blue



    what song is that from, justam?

    An old Frank Sinatra song called "I thought about you." :D

    "Doomsday Clock"

    Is everyone afraid?
    Is everyone ashamed?
    They're running towards their holes to find out
    Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead
    A message to our friends to get out
    There's wages on this fear
    Oh so clear
    Depends on what you'll pay to hear

    They're bound to kill us all in whitewashed halls
    Their jackals lick their paws

    Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
    These lonely days when will they ever stop?
    This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
    Not broken

    I love life every day
    In each and every way
    Kafka would be proud, to find out
    I'm certain of the end
    It's the means that has me spooked
    It takes an unknown truth to get out
    I'm guessing I'm born free, silly me
    I was meant to beg from my knees

    Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
    These lonely days when will they ever stop?
    This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
    These lonely days when will they ever stop?

    We gotta dig in
    Gas masks on
    Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
    If this is living?
    Sakes alive!
    Well then they can't win
    No one survives

    Is everyone afraid?
    You should be ashamed
    Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
    Kissing that 'ol sun to know all there is
    Come on, last call
    You should want it all

    Ah, it's lonely at the top
    These lonely days when will they ever stop
    This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
    These lonely days when will they ever stop
    This ticking in my heart
    Is everyone afraid?

    EELS - The Good Old Days

    I know i'm not too much of a bargain
    And you know that's not what you bargained for
    As the hours turn into days
    Pretty soon lost in the haze
    It's up to you and me
    And who's to say
    These could be the good old days

    I like waking up after a bad dream
    Makes it feel like life ain't bad
    Little kids go out to play
    They're just happy it's another day
    It's up to you and me
    And who's to say
    These could be the good old days

    I guess i could be a quiet hero
    No one knows the good i've done
    You're not sure
    Well that's okay
    'cause i am
    And i'm not afraid
    It's up to you and me
    And who's to say
    These could be the good old days

    Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little
    everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little
    why the Gods above me, who must be in the know
    think so little of me, they allow you to go

    When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it
    I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it
    there's no love song finer, but how strange
    the change
    from major to minor, everytime we say goodbye

    Here's that other song called Better Days. 8-)

    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

    And it's someplace simple where we could live
    And something only you can give
    And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
    And the one poor child that saved this world
    And there's 10 million more who probably could
    If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

    So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

    I wish everyone was loved tonight
    And somehow stop this endless fight
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

    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 my cry,
    but that's alright,
    because I love the way you lie.
    I love the way you lie...

    I love that song! Rihanna, right? great song. great voice.

    I believe that was a Eminem song with Rihanna as a guest singer on the track.

    Sometimes is never quite enough
    If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
    Don't forget to win first place
    Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

    Be a good boy
    Try a little harder
    You've got to measure up
    And make me prouder

    How long before you screw it up
    How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
    With everything I do for you
    The least you can do is keep quiet

    Be a good girl
    You've gotta try a little harder
    That simply wasn't good enough
    To make us proud

    I'll live through you
    I'll make you what I never was
    If you're the best, then maybe so am I
    Compared to him compared to her
    I'm doing this for your own damn good
    You'll make up for what I blew
    What's the problem...why are you crying

    Be a good boy
    Push a little farther now
    That wasn't fast enough
    To make us happy
    We'll love you just the way you are
    If you're perfect

    Wish you were here...

    It's dreamy weather we're on
    You waved your crooked wand
    Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
    A murder of silhouette crows I saw
    And the tears on my face
    And the skates on the pond
    They spell Alice

    I disappear in your name
    But you must wait for me
    Somewhere across the sea
    There's a wreck of a ship
    Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
    And the raindrops on my window
    And the ice in my drink
    Baby all I can think of is Alice

    Alice- Tom Waits (What a legend, what amazing poetry!!!!)

    But in tha mean while in my town you got to
    BOW

    Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
    Somethin' to fill in the holes
    We think a lot but don't talk much about it
    'Til things get out of control

    How do I know when it's love
    I can't tell you but it lasts forever
    How does it feel when it's love
    It's just something you feel together
    When it's love

    You look at every face in a crowd
    Some shine and some keep you guessin'
    Waiting for someone to come into focus
    Teach you your final love lesson

    How do I know when it's love
    I can't tell you but it lasts forever
    How does it feel when it's love
    It's just something you feel together

    Oh oh oh oh
    Oh when it's love
    Oh oh oh oh
    You can feel it, yeah
    Oh oh oh oh
    Nothing's missing
    Yeah

    Nothing's missing
    How do I know when it's love
    I can't tell you but it lasts forever
    How does it feel when it's love
    It's just something you feel together
    How do I know when it's love
    I can't tell you but it lasts forever
    When it's love
    When it's love
    It'll last forever
    When it's love
    You and I
    We're gonna feel this thing together
    When it's love
    When it's love
    You can feel it
    We'll make it last forever
    When it's love

    Wish you were here...

    When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
    When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
    Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

    Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
    When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
    If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
    When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

    'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
    Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
    If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

    If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
    When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

    Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
    Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
    And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
    Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
    Everybody hurts. You are not alone...

    Wish you were here...

    She'll let you in her house
    If you come knockin' late at night
    She'll let you in her mouth if the
    Words you say are right

    If you pay the price
    She'll let you deep inside
    But there's a secret garden she hides

    She'll let you in her car
    To go drivin' round
    She'll let you into the parts of herself
    That'll bring you down

    She'll let you in her heart
    If you got a hammer and a vise
    But into her secret garden, don't think twice

    You've gone a million miles
    How far'd you get to that place where
    You can't remember and you can't forget

    She'll lead you down a path
    There'll be tenderness in the air
    She'll let you come just far enough
    So you know she's really there
    She'll look at you and smile
    And her eyes will say
    She's got a secret garden
    Where everything you want
    Where everything you need
    Will always stay a million miles away...

    Wish you were here...

    Long Nights by Eddie Vedder

    Have no fear
    For when I'm alone
    I'll be better off than I was before

    I've got this light
    I'll be around to grow
    Who I was before
    I cannot recall

    Long nights allow me to feel...
    I'm falling...I am falling
    The lights go out
    Let me feel
    I'm falling
    I am falling safely to the ground
    Ah...

    I'll take this soul that's inside me now
    Like a brand new friend
    I'll forever know

    I've got this light
    And the will to show
    I will always be better than before

    Long nights allow me to feel...
    I'm falling...I am falling
    The lights go out
    Let me feel
    I'm falling
    I am falling safely to the ground

    Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
    for a break that would make it okay
    there's always some reason to feel not good enough
    and its hard at the end of the day...

    I need some distraction... oh a beautiful release...
    memory seeps from my veins, let me be empty
    oh and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight....

    In the arms of the angel, fly away from here
    from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear
    you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
    you're in the arms of the angel
    may you find some comfort here....

    So tired of the straight life and everywhere you turn
    there's vultures and thieves at your back
    the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lies
    that you make up for all the you lack
    it don't make no difference, escaping one last time
    it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
    this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees...

    You're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here....

    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...

    When you were standing in the wake of devastation
    When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
    And with the cataclysm raining down
    Insides crying, "Save me now"
    You were there impossibly alone

    Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
    You build up hope but failure's all you've known
    Remember all the sadness and frustration
    And let it go
    Let it go

    And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
    As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
    You felt the gravity of tempered grace
    Falling into empty space
    No one there to catch you in their arms

    Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
    You build up hope but failure's all you've known
    Remember all the sadness and frustration
    And let it go
    Let it go

    Before you slip into unconsciousness
    I'd like to have another kiss
    Another flashing chance at bliss
    Another kiss, another kiss

    The days are bright and filled with pain
    Enclose me in your gentle rain
    The time you ran was too insane
    We'll meet again, we'll meet again


    Oh tell me where your freedom lies
    The streets are fields that never die
    Deliver me from reasons why
    You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly


    The crystal ship is being filled
    A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
    A million ways to spend your time
    When we get back, I'll drop a line

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad
