  • “Do you remember lying in bed

    With your covers pulled up over your head?

    Radio playin’ so one can see

    We need change, we need it fast

    Before rock’s just part of the past

    ‘Cause lately it all sounds the same to me”

    - The Ramones

    Hard cover books and silver frames
    Because they're gone we drink your parents' bar
    Three am not many cars
    We go walking down the avenue
    Doing anything that makes us laugh
    Do it but it's a stupid thing to do

    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed


    You're gonna wish that it was done
    You're gonna wish that you were young again
    You're gonna wish that is was fun
    You're gonna want to have someone again
    See what lands we have become
    Flat horizons everyday

    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed


    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed

    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed

    We were born before the wind
    Also younger than the sun
    Ere the bonnie boat was one 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 will be coming home
    And when the 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 fold 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 don't have to fear it

    And I want to rock your gypsy soul
    Just like way back in the days of old
    And together we will fold into the mystic ...

    Ahh, one of my all time favorite songs. I love playing and singing this one.

    I save it for special shows though cause I tend to get a bit emotional when I perform this one.

    Good choice mikalina. :)
    Peace, Love.

    Praying For Rain Lyrics

    A big sun setting on the fields, I can't sleep on this tractor wheel

    put my seed into the earth, they never tell me just what it's worth



    I'm praying for the rain, the open sky will seal my veins

    when every farmer has made his grain, I'm praying for the rain,

    I'm still praying



    the road was clear the night was too, and that's how I remember you

    I hop a fence, I make my bed, but I can't make you leave my head



    I'm praying for the rain, just to wash away this pain

    another headlight through my brain, I'm praying for the rain,

    I'm still praying



    now all my words have headed north, they rode a taxi or took a horse

    the way i loved you was all in vain, I'm still praying for the rain

    I'm praying for the rain, beat the drum till I'm insane

    give the next dance craze a name, I'm praying for the rain,

    I'm still praying

    Come here my love
    This feeling has me spellbound
    Yet the storyline, in paragraphs, laid down the same
    In fathoms of my inner mind
    I'm mystified, oh, by this mood
    This melancholy feeling that just don't do no good

    Come here my love
    And I will lift my spirits high for you
    I'd like to fly away and spend a day or two
    Just contemplating the fields and leaves and talking about nothing
    Just layin' down in shades of effervescent, effervescent odors
    And shades of time and tide
    And flowing through
    Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature's beauty
    Come along with me
    And take it all in

    Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
    And how do we spend our lives if there's none to lend us a hand ...

    I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
    Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

    Games people play, You take it or you leave it
    Things that they say, Honor Brite
    If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it .....
    Games people play in the middle of the night .....

    I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
    Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away ...

    I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
    I'm not gonna beg you for your love....

    Straight talk, give me the straight talk ....
    Tell me what's on your mind if it ain't love
    I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
    I'm not gonna beg you for your love

    Scared now, what are you scared of?
    Afraid I might fall on my knees and break down?....
    I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
    I'm not gonna beg you for your love ....

    Don't you think you can take me for a pretty little ride ....
    I know "once upon a time" and "ever after" is a lie ....
    I'm not gonna beg
    I'm not gonna beg
    I'm not gonna beg you for nothing at all

    There's nothing I want from you ...
    Nothing you can say or do
    There is nothing I want for you say anyway ....

    I'm not gonna beg you for nothing ...


    Hell NO....

    "Ironic"

    An old man turned ninety-eight
    He won the lottery and died the next day
    It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
    It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
    And isn't it ironic... don't you think

    It's like rain on your wedding day
    It's a free ride when you've already paid
    It's the good advice that you just didn't take
    Who would've thought... it figures

    Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
    He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
    He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
    And as the plane crashed down he thought
    "Well isn't this nice..."
    And isn't it ironic... don't you think

    It's like rain on your wedding day
    It's a free ride when you've already paid
    It's the good advice that you just didn't take
    Who would've thought... it figures

    Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
    When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
    And life has a funny way of helping you out when
    You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
    In your face

    A traffic jam when you're already late
    A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
    It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
    It's meeting the man of my dreams
    And then meeting his beautiful wife
    And isn't it ironic...don't you think
    A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

    It's like rain on your wedding day
    It's a free ride when you've already paid
    It's the good advice that you just didn't take
    Who would've thought... it figures

    Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
    Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
    Helping you out

    Ophelia was a bride of god
    A novice Carmelite
    In sister cells the cloister bells
    Tolled on her wedding night

    Ophelia was a rebel girl
    A blue stocking suffragette
    Who remedied society
    Between her cigarettes

    Ophelia was a sweetheart
    To the nation over night
    Curvaceous thighs
    Vivacious eyes
    Love was at first sight...

    Ophelia was a demigoddess
    In pre war Babylon
    So statuesque a silhouette
    In black satin evening gowns

    Ophelia was the mistress to a
    Vegas gambling man
    Signora Ophelia Maraschina
    Mafia courtesan

    Ophelia was a circus queen
    The female cannonball
    Projected through five flaming hoops
    To wild and shocked applause...

    Ophelia was a tempest, cyclone
    A god damned hurricane
    Your common sense
    Your best defense
    Lay wasted and in vain

    Ophelia'd know your every woe
    And pain you'd ever had
    She'd sympathize
    And dry your eyes
    And help you to forget......

    Ophelia's mind went wandering
    You'd wonder where she'd gone
    Through secret doors
    Down corridors
    She'd wander them alone
    All alone...

    A song for Friday. :)

    If they tell me that the bees
    Don't make honey anymore
    Then what am I supposed to tell you
    And if they tell me that the ocean
    Is tired of her shores
    Then tell me
    What am I supposed to tell you

    When I can't tell you anything
    But the truth

    When I can't tell you anything
    But the truth

    What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
    How does the mama
    Keep the baby warm
    What if the wind
    Is telling us that its time
    And what if we're not ready to fly

    I can't tell you anything
    But the truth
    I can't tell you anything
    But the truth

    Tree tops they touch the ground
    In the morning walk with no sound
    Hear no birds, hear no planes
    Through the mud, feel the clay
    Build it up, make it sing
    Make it strong, give it wings

    But I can't tell you anything
    But the truth

    Buth I can't tell you anything
    But the truth

    [x2]
    What is this place?
    Who am I?
    Why did we come here?

    [x2]
    I don't know I don't know
    But I don't know
    That we're meant to know

    One Sweet World

    Nine planets round the sun
    Only one does the sun embrace
    Upon this watered one
    So much do we take for granted

    So let us sleep outside tonight
    Lay down in the mother's arms
    For here we can rest safely

    If green should slip to grey
    Would our hearts still bloody beat
    If the mountains crumble away
    And the river dry
    Would it stop the stepping feet

    Take all that we can get
    When it's done
    Nobody left to bury
    Nobody left to dig the holes
    And here we will rest safely

    One sweet world
    Around this star is spinning
    One sweet world
    In her breath I'm swimming
    And here we will rest in peace.

    I built my house from barley rice
    Green pepper walls and water ice
    Tables of paper wood, windows of light
    And everything emptying into white

    A simple garden with acres of sky
    A brown haired dogmouse if one dropped by
    Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night
    With everything emptying into white
    &&&&&&&&&&&&&&

    "Do you watch me from the corner of your eye? Do we say goodbye?
    I waited in the wings for you to appear but you're never coming back, it's never gonna feel like we did.

    I waited all night, I tried to let you go like a shadow in the light, the light.

    Do I wait?

    Do I wait for you?

    Do I wait?

    Do I wait for you?

    Do I wait here forever for you? Did you ask me to?"
