    Hey World (Don't Give Up)

    tell me why the grass was greener
    year ago
    I swear it used to grow here
    but no more here

    tell me why
    on this hill
    all the birds they used to come to fly here
    come to die here

    and tell my why i need to know
    sometimes i wish i didn't have to know
    all you show me

    hey world
    what you say
    should i stick around for another day or two
    don't give up on me
    i won't give up on you
    just believe in me like i believe in

    tell me why on the corner
    all the kids that used to come to run here
    load the guns here
    and tell me why
    it's okay
    to kill in the name of the gods we pray

    tell me who said it's okay
    to die in the name of the lies we say
    tell me why there's child soldiers
    tell me why they closed the borders
    tell me how to fight disease
    and tell me now won't you please

    the only thing i want to do
    is to be in the arms of someone who believes in me
    like i believe in you
    i try try try try
    i try try try try for you
    don't give up on me
    and i cry cry cry cry
    i cry cry cry cry for you
    just believe in me
    like i believe in you

    *Younger Than Today* Live

    You and I were looking at old pictures yesterday
    Sitting in disbelief at how time slips away
    Both at a loss for words to say, who knew we'd never be younger than today?

    Foolishness protected us from the world outside
    They could never come between us but we knew they'd try
    We remembered living as if there were a way to forever be younger than today

    Never looked at anything you didn't care to see
    I was the one who wouldn't let you leave
    Even though it was a clear you couldn't stay
    Had to try to be younger than today
    Had to try to be younger than today

    As we parted, you reminded me I'm alive
    To remember when the stars danced just for you and I
    May the shimmer of the summer always light your way and make you feel younger than today

    We all feel the pain, is it necessary?
    When we feel the pain, better stick together.
    Music is the way to relieve the pressure.
    Music on the way, do you get the message?

    me de moi, je suis music.
    Chante moi, je suis music.

    Je suis music.
    Chante moi.
    Je suis music.

    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
    I wonder who's crying now
    Two hearts born to run
    Who'll be the lonely one
    I wonder 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
    Hoo oh hoo oh

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad

    Some say love it is a river
    that drowns the tender reed
    Some say love it is a razor
    that leaves your soul to bleed

    Some say love it is a hunger
    an endless aching need
    I say love it is a flower
    and you it's only seed

    It's the heart afraid of breaking
    that never learns to dance
    It's the dream afraid of waking
    that never takes the chance
    It's the one who won't be taken
    who cannot seem to give
    and the soul afraid of dying
    that never learns to live

    When the night has been too lonely
    and the road has been too long
    and you think that love is only
    for the lucky and the strong

    Just remember in the winter
    far beneath the bitter snow
    lies the seed
    that with the sun's love
    in the spring
    becomes the rose

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad

    Pictures Of You

    I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
    That I almost believe that they're real
    I've been living so long with my pictures of you
    That I almost believe that the pictures are
    All I can feel

    Remembering
    You standing quiet in the rain
    As I ran to your heart to be near
    And we kissed as the sky fell in
    Holding you close
    How I always held close in your fear
    Remembering
    You running soft through the night
    You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
    And screamed at the make-believe
    Screamed at the sky
    And you finally found all your courage
    To let it all go

    Remembering
    You fallen into my arms
    Crying for the death of your heart
    You were stone white
    So delicate
    Lost in the cold
    You were always so lost in the dark
    Remembering
    You how you used to be
    Slow drowned
    You were angels
    So much more than everything
    Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
    Open my eyes
    But i never see anything

    If only I'd thought of the right words
    I could have held on to your heart
    If only I'd thought of the right words
    I wouldn't be breaking apart
    All my pictures of you

    Looking so long at these pictures of you
    But i never hold on to your heart
    Looking so long for the words to be true
    But always just breaking apart
    My pictures of you

    There was nothing in the world
    That I ever wanted more
    Than to feel you deep in my heart
    There was nothing in the world
    That I ever wanted more
    Than to never feel the breaking apart
    All my pictures of you

    Mrs. Bartolozzi

    I remember it was that Wednesday
    Oh when it rained and it rained
    They traipsed mud all over the house
    It took hours and hours to scrub it out
    All over the hall carpet
    I took my mop and bucket
    And I cleaned and I cleaned
    The kitchen floor
    Until it sparkled
    Then I took my laundry basket
    And put the linen all in it
    And everything I could fit in it
    And all our dirty clothes that hadn't gone into the wash
    And all your shirts and jeans and things
    And put them in the new washing machine
    Washing machine
    Washing machine

    I watched them go 'round and 'round
    My blouse wrapping itself around your trousers
    Oh the waves are going out
    My skirt floating up around my waist
    As I wade out into the surf
    Oh and the waves are coming in
    Oh and the waves are going out
    Oh and you're standing right behind me
    Little fish swim between my legs
    Oh and the waves are coming in
    Oh and the waves are going out
    Oh and the waves are coming in
    Out of the corner of my eye
    I think I see you standing outside
    But it's just your shirt
    Hanging on the washing line
    Waving its arm as the wind blows by
    And it looks so alive
    Nice and white
    Just like its climbed right out
    Of my washing machine
    Washing machine
    Washing machine

    Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
    Get that dirty shirty clean
    Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
    Make those cuffs and collars gleam
    Everything clean and shiny

    Washing machine
    Washing machine
    Washing machine

    If you could see the way I act
    When I'm alone
    If you could hear my voice crack
    Over the phone
    You'd know I need you
    You'd know I need you
    You'd know I need you to love me
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
    Dancing on the light from star to star.
    Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
    I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

    You are like a hurricane
    There's calm in your eye.
    And I'm gettin' blown away
    To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
    I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
    You could have been anyone to me.
    Before that moment you touched my lips
    That perfect feeling when time just slips
    Away between us on our foggy trip.

    You are like a hurricane
    There's calm in your eye.
    And I'm gettin' blown away
    To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
    I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

    You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream.
    You could have been anyone to me.
    Before that moment you touched my lips
    That perfect feeling when time just slips
    Away between us on our foggy trip.

    You are like a hurricane
    There's calm in your eye.
    And I'm gettin' blown away
    To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
    I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

    Wish you were here...

    Wake Up Everybody



    Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed
    No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead
    The world has changed so very much
    From what it used to be so
    there is so much hatred war an' poverty

    Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
    Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
    Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
    when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.


    The world won't get no better if we just let it be
    The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me.

    Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
    They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
    But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
    So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.
    Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
    I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
    The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
    Surely things will work out they do it every time.

    There's a light, when my baby's in my arms.
    There's a light, when the window shades are drawn.
    Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her.
    Wash it off cause this feeling we can share.
    And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.

    Byzantine is reflected in our pond.
    There's a cloud, but the water remains calm.
    Reaching in the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass.
    Even out, it's a precious thing to bear.
    And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
    Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air.

    It's not in my past to presume.
    Love can keep on moving in both directions.
    How to be happy and true is the quest we're taking on together.

    Take it on, on, on, on, on.
    Take it on, on, on, on, on.

    There's a light when my baby's in my arms.
    And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
    And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
    And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
    Yes I know she's reached my heart.

    Wish you were here...

    How about these for cheerful lyrics? :D

    Aerial

    The dawn has come
    and the wine will run
    and the song must be sung
    and the flowers are melting
    in the sun

    I feel I want to be up on the roof
    I feel I gotta get up on the roof
    up, up on the roof
    up, up on the roof

    oh the dawn has come
    and the song must be sung
    and the flowers are melting
    what kind of language is this?

    What kind of language is this?
    I can't hear a word you're saying
    tell me, what are you singing?
    in the sun

    All of the birds are laughing
    all of the birds are laughing
    come on let's all join in
    come on let's all join in

    I want to be up on the roof
    I've gotta be up on the roof
    up, up high on the roof
    up, up on the roof
    in the sun

    My lips are shakin
    My nails are bit off
    It's been a month and a day since I've heard myself talk
    Only advantage this lifes got on me
    Picture an empty cup in the middle of the sea

    And I fought back in my mind
    Never lets me be right...
    I got memories, I got shit
    So much it don't show...

    Oh, I walked the line...
    When you held me in at night
    Oh, I walked the line...
    When you held my hand and I...

    On empty shells seem so easy to crack
    Got all these questions
    Don't know who I could even ask
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin at me

    And I'll stay in bed...
    Oh, little I've seen there
    If just once I could be loved...
    Oh, I'd stare back at me

    Oh, I walked the line...
    When you held me in at night
    Oh, I walked the line...
    When you held my hand and I
    Oh, I walked the line...
    When you held me close at night
    Oh, I paid the price...
    Never held you in your eyes

    Wish you were here...

    All alone I circle my mind
    trying to catch that clue I missed
    how'd I mess it up again?
    I suspect I was too afraid to believe
    too afraid to consider you wanted me to
    change my mind, a second time

    an' I was too far away to see
    to see your face
    to see your face
    to see
    to see
    to see
    that maybe you wanted to see
    some eyes in love
    some eyes
    in love

    I felt it was an "I'm sorry."
    heard you wrapping it up
    putting a period on it
    emptying the bottle, maybe?
    just to put it in the recycling bin to make room
    thought you'd need to clear it out
    to gain more space for yourself

    an' I was too far away to see
    to see your face
    to see your face
    to see
    to see
    to see
    that maybe you wanted to see
    some eyes in love
    some eyes
    in love

    stupidly I just tried to be brave an' alone
    but I shoulda known!
    you did it for a better response than that
    too afraid to consider you wanted me to
    change my mind, a second time

    an' I was too far away to see
    to see your face
    to see your face
    to see
    to see
    to see
    that maybe you wanted to see
    some eyes in love
    some eyes
    in love

    I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
    All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
    Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
    Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
    All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

    Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

    Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
    It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

    Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

    Wish you were here...

    This is the power
    Since time began
    Every single hour
    That we have known
    And from each moment
    All that is left
    Sleep of the innocent
    Just one desire

    Shine like it does
    Into every heart
    Shine like it does
    And if you're looking
    You will find it
    You will find it

    This is the story
    Since time began
    There will come a day
    When we will know

    Don't ask me, what you know is true
    Don't have to tell you, I love your precious heart

    I, I was standing
    You were there, two worlds collided
    And they could never tear us apart

    We could live for a thousand years
    But if I hurt you I'd make wine from your tears
    I told you that we could fly
    'Cause we all have wings but some of us don't know why

    I, I was standing
    You were there, two worlds collided
    And they could never ever tear us apart

    I (don't ask me) I was standing (you know is true)
    You were there (worlds collided) two worlds collided
    (we're shining through)
    And they could never tear us apart

    You (don't ask me) you were standing (you know is true)
    I was there (worlds collided) two worlds collided
    (we're shining through)
    And they could never tear us apart

    I, I was standing, you were there

    To Look At You...Live

    What is the name to call
    For a different kind of girl
    Who knows the feelings
    But never the words

    To look at you
    And never speak
    Is so good
    For me tonite
    To look at you
    And never speak
    Is so good
    For me tonite
    What is the name to call
    For a different kind of girl
    Who knows the feelings
    But never the words

    Who do you ask when there`s no one
    Left to turn to
    You ask me and I`ll always try to hear
    Past money and colours and make believe
    Good cheap values for a thrifty clown

    To look at you
    And never speak
    Is so good
    For me tonite
    To look at you
    And never speak
    Is so good
    For me tonite
    To look at you
    And never speak
    Is so good
    For me tonite
    What is the name to call
    For a different kind of girl
    Who knows the feelings
    But never the words

    What do you fear in the simple
    Still of a summer`s nite
    I understand I sympathize for a day dream
    Fairytailes and I love you

    What is the name to call
    For a different kind of girl
    Who knows the feelings
    But never the words
    To this . . . real life documentary

    I feel clean again
    I don't waste my sin
    I can't spare a grin
    Because it's bad blood time again

    My morning full on speed
    No it's not so rid of me
    This is, this is a hungry need
    Won't you help me to plant the seed

    And if it grows
    Yes, we'll know, oh we'll know
    If I found you a floating feather
    Sent down to help me fly away
    If I found you a floating feather
    I would be amazed
    I'd be amazed

    Your lips taste dry again
    Death cold has got your skin
    I'm not lost in who loses or wins
    I would just like for this spell to end

    Cause I'm ready
    Ready to begin
    Begin again
    If I found you a floating feather
    Sent down to help me fly away
    If I found you a floating feather
    I would be amazed

    I, Well I remember one time
    You were all smiles
    Nothing stood in our way
    Well so here I am now
    Here I am just wanting to return to those days
    We'll get there baby
    I'll take you there babe
    Oh, we will find, we will find our way
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    I see the world
    Feel the chill
    Which way to go
    Windowsill
    I see the words
    On a rocking horse of time
    I see the birds in the rain

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me
    I'll open up
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad
