    Designs of Love / that's alright....


    Meet me down by the railway station
    I've been waiting
    And I'm through waiting for you
    The train sings the same kind of blues

    Well I don't know why I always trusted
    Sometimes I think I must have
    I must have been crazy
    Crazy to wait on you, baby

    Well I turned around and got pushed down, baby
    Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you
    I'm alright...

    Please, I've been takin' my time
    You know, it's been on my mind
    I hope you find a love
    Your own designs of love
    That's alright...
    That's alright

    I believe, I believe that I know you
    'Cause we've been a long time,
    Now I've got to show you, that I
    Well, I never did beleive in time
    You know, changin' anybody's mind

    Now, I can't define love like it should be
    That's alright,
    That's alright

    Please, I've been takin' my time
    You know, it's been on my mind
    I hope you find a love
    Your own designs of love
    That's alright, yes
    That's alright....

  • We come on the sloop John B
    My grandfather and me
    Around Nassau town we did roam
    Drinking all night
    Got into a fight
    Well I feel so broke up
    I want to go home

    So hoist up the John B's sail
    See how the mainsail sets
    Call for the Captain ashore
    Let me go home, let me go home
    I wanna go home, yeah yeah
    Well I feel so broke up
    I wanna go home

    The first mate he got drunk
    And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
    The constable had to come and take him away
    Sheriff John Stone
    Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
    Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

    So hoist up the John B's sail
    See how the mainsail sets
    Call for the Captain ashore
    Let me go home, let me go home
    I wanna go home, let me go home
    Why don't you let me go home
    (Hoist up the John B's sail)
    Hoist up the John B
    I feel so broke up I wanna go home
    Let me go home

    The poor cook he caught the fits
    And threw away all my grits
    And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
    Let me go home
    Why don't they let me go home
    This is the worst trip I've ever been on

    So hoist up the John B's sail
    See how the mainsail sets
    Call for the Captain ashore
    Let me go home, let me go home
    I wanna go home, let me go home
    Why don't you let me go home

    And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold
    And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told
    And you live in the past of a dream that you're in
    And your selfishness is your cardinal sin

    And you want to be held with highest regard
    If he likes you so much
    If he's trying so hard
    And you're trying to conceal your ordinary way
    With a smile or a shrug
    Or some stolen cliche

    But don't you understand
    And don't you look about
    I'm trying to take nothing from you
    So why should you act so put out, for me

    'Cause emotionally, you're the same basic trip
    And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped
    So don't try to impress me
    You're just pins and paint
    And don't try to charm me
    With things that you ain't

    And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress
    'Cause a monkey in silk is a monkey no less
    So measure for measure, reflect on my said
    And when I won't see 'ya then measure it dead

    'Cause don't you understand
    And don't you look about
    I'm trying to take nothing from you
    So why should you act so put out
    And sit there and wonder in doubt, for me

    Photographs and memories
    Christmas cards you sent to me
    All that I have are these
    To remember you

    Memories that come at night
    Take me to another time
    Back to a happier day
    When I called you mine

    But we sure had a good time
    When we started way back when
    Morning walks and bedroom talks
    Oh how I loved you then

    Summer skies and lullabies
    Nights we couldn't say good-bye
    And of all of the things that we knew
    Not a dream survived

    Photographs and memories
    All the love you gave to me
    Somehow it just can't be true
    That's all I've left of you

    But we sure had a good time
    When we started way back when
    Morning walks and bedroom talks
    Oh how I loved you then ....

    I've been thinking lately about how I understand this idea of always having a place to go that's warm and accepting and safe for my heart. This song is a good one for that.



    There is a town in north Ontario,
    With dream comfort memory to spare,
    And in my mind
    I still need a place to go,
    All my changes were there.

    Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
    Yellow moon on the rise,
    Big birds flying across the sky,
    Throwing shadows on our eyes.
    Leave us

    Helpless, helpless, helpless
    Baby can you hear me now?
    The chains are locked
    and tied across the door,
    Baby, sing with me somehow.

    Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
    Yellow moon on the rise,
    Big birds flying across the sky,
    Throwing shadows on our eyes.
    Leave us

    Helpless, helpless, helpless.

    One little, two little, three margaritas
    Four little, five little, six I wanna see you
    I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had
    My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you
    But it's not so bad
    Best night we've ever had
    My hangovers with you

    Keeping up with me shot for shot
    Getting caught naked making love in the parking lot
    Beach cruisers to cruise the boulevard
    Waking up in the morning
    Another maxed out credit card
    Knowing I will never forget you
    Can't remember much, but who needs to?
    I got these memories in a tattoo
    And I don't regret none of it
    Have fun with it, pour another shot
    Let's see how drunk we get

    One little, two little, three margaritas
    Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya
    I'm feeling bad, best night we've ever had
    And the pleasure's worth all the pain
    Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away
    My hangovers with you

    Well we were wasted blacked out
    Lying on the ground shitfaced
    And I can't remember last night at all
    But I can taste it me and you
    Laughing out louder than the bass is
    Two shots of whiskey with a chaser
    The morning's almost here
    I need a beer so I can face it
    Once the sun comes up and we off to the races
    Time spent with you, girl is never time wasted
    Life's a vacation, straight Chevy Chase-n

    One little, two little, three margaritas
    Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya
    I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had,
    My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you
    But it's not so bad, best night we've ever had
    And the pleasure's worth all the pain
    Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away
    My hangovers with you

    Headache, body ache, stomach turning
    I guess that's what they mean when they say
    You gotta earn it
    Bloody Mary, Sex on the Beach, no cherry
    Whiskey on the rocks
    Dirty heads on the jukebox

    One little, two little, three margaritas
    Four little, five little, six margaritas
    One little, two little, three margaritas
    Four little, five little, six, hangovers with you

    One little, two little, three margaritas
    Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya
    I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had,
    My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you
    Cause it's not so bad, best night we've ever had
    And the pleasure's worth all the pain
    Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away
    (My hangovers) the pleasure's worth all the pain
    Cause the pain it's all the same, it's all the same
    My hangovers with you, you, you, you

    WALL.....Living Colour

    We hate each other 'cause of race and religion
    We hate each other 'cause of class and position
    We want to know why is love so hard to come by
    Give me a reason why you love so hard to try

    The walls between us all must fall
    The walls between us all must fall

    We hate each other 'cause we dance to different music
    We hate each other 'cause we think we know it all
    We hate each other 'cause that's what our parents taught us
    We hate each other for no reason at all

    The wall between us all must fall
    The wall between us all must fall

    We teach our young men how to kill and name and torture
    We teach our young men how to make their mothers cry
    We want to know why is love so hard to come by?
    Give me the answer, why is love so hard to try?

    Peace

    Once we were lovers
    But somehow things have changed
    Now we're just lonely people
    Tryin' to forget each other's names...

    Now we're just lonely people
    Tryin' to forget each other's names....

    What came between us?
    Maybe we were just too young to know

    But now and then
    I feel the same,

    And sometimes at night I think
    I hear you calling my name.....
    Mmm-hmm-mmm these dreams
    They keep me going these days

    Once we were lovers
    But that was long ago
    We lived together then
    And now we do not even say hello...
    We lived together then
    And now we do not even say hello....

    This is a beautiful song from Beck's new Morning Phase.

    "Waking Light"

    Waking light, it grew from the shadow
    Brace yourself to the morning low
    Night is gone, long way turning
    You've waited long enough to know

    When the memory leaves you
    Somewhere you can't make it home
    When the morning comes to meet you
    Lay me down in waking light

    No one sees you here, roots are all covered
    There's such a life to go and how much can you show?
    Day is gone on a landslide of rhythm
    It's in your lamplight burning low

    When the memory leaves you
    Somewhere you can't make it home
    When the morning comes to meet you
    Rest your eyes in waking light

    When the memory leaves you
    Somewhere you can't make it home
    When the morning comes to meet you
    Open your eyes with waking light

    It's still growing up just like me, .
    Still growing, still breathing, still avoiding dying.
    Still playing, still loving, still avoiding crying, yeah.
    As the crow flies, as the tree grows, tomorrow I'll die.
    Something I never thought I'd know.

    Another Beck song

    Volcano

    I’ve been walking on these streets so long
    I don’t know where they’re going to lead anymore
    but I think I must have seen a ghost
    I don’t know if it’s my illusions that keep me alive
    I don’t know what I’ve seen
    Was it all an illusion?
    All a mirage gone bad?
    I’m tired of evil and all that it feeds
    But I don’t know

    I’ve been drifting on this wave so long
    I don’t know if it’s already crashed on the shore
    And I’ve been riding on this train so long
    I can’t tell if it’s you or me who’s driving us into the ground
    I don’t know if I’m sane
    But there’s a ghost in my heart
    who’s trying to see in the dark
    I’m tired of people who only want to be pleased
    but I still want to please you

    and I heard of that Japanese girl
    who jumped into the volcano
    was she trying to make it back?
    back into the womb of the world

    I’ve been drinking all these tears so long
    all I’ve got left is the taste of salt in my mouth
    I don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I’m going
    to that volcano
    I don’t want to fall in though
    just want to warm my bones
    on that fire a while

    "Starring at the mirror
    I see your smile through my own
    Your spark embedded deep inside
    Will give me strength
    Will give us hope..."
    This is for you (seeing XR preform last night brought back a lot of memories, I hope I'm not alone in them)

    Change the names and it sums it up quite nicely.
    "Happy"

    I don't hang around that place no more
    I'm tired of wearing circles in the floor
    And I don't carry myself very well
    I've gotten so much braver, can you tell

    I'm happy, can't you see
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee

    And I line my secrets up all one by one
    I put 'em all away when I was done
    And I would really love to hear your voice sometime
    To close a little distance in my mind

    I'm happy, can't you see
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee

    I believe

    Where have you been all these years
    How could you just disappear
    And when did you stop missing me

    I'm happy, can't you see
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    And if it´s all right with you
    I just talk with myself
    I never was the one to believe that

    And with a light shining down on you
    You sure look tragic too
    And if it´s all right with you
    I just talk with myself


    With all the stars so bright
    And the light shine down
    And everything glows all around
    And you wonder when
    The perfect time for love is
    And when it all gets hard
    And it all gets tough
    And everything won´t be enough
    We´re gonna throw a stone
    And it´ll come true for loving

    And if you just say where and when
    Then I will be there waiting
    ´Cause I would really love to see you again
    Woh-oh oh

    I´ve seen you passing by
    And when you caught my eye
    I though: God, this could be the next big thing
    And how I wish for your command
    Telling me to hold your hand
    Oh baby let it rain
    Woh-oh oh

    Oh yeah

    It´s never real

    Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
    Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
    Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
    Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

    What are you running from?
    Taking pills to get along
    Creating walls to call your own
    So no one catches you drifting off and
    Doing all the things that we all do...

    Touch, touch in the flame's desire
    Feeling the pain's denial
    And your finger's in the fire
    Look, look in the candle light
    See in the flame of life
    And my spell our lie

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    The passion and all the pain are one
    You're sleeping in the fire

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
    You're sleeping in the fire

    I gaze as the flame and fire burn
    And cry out the name of which I yearn

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    The passion and all the pain are one
    You're sleeping in the fire

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
    You're sleeping in the fire
