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

"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"0 -
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 me0 -
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 ....*********************************************************************************************0 -
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.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
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"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

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?

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&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
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.

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 whilePost edited by justam on&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
"Starring at the mirror
I see your smile through my own
Your spark embedded deep inside
Will give me strength
Will give us hope..."

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

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

I am not your rolling wheels, I am the highway.
I am not your carpet ride, I am the sky....

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...0 -
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
