    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

    I am the son
    and the heir
    Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
    I am the son and heir
    Of nothing in particular

    You shut your mouth
    How can you say
    I go about things the wrong way
    I am Human and I need to be loved
    Just like everybody else does

    I am the son
    and the heir
    Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
    I am the son and the heir
    Of nothing in particular

    You shut your mouth
    How can you say
    I go about things the wrong way
    I am Human and I need to be loved
    Just like everybody else does

    There's a club, if you'd like to go
    You could meet somebody who really loves you
    So you go, and you stand on your own
    And you leave on your own
    And you go home
    And you cry
    And you want to die

    When you say it's gonna happen now,
    Well, when exactly do you mean?
    See I've already waited too long
    And all my hope is gone

    I am Human And I need to be loved
    Just like everybody else does

    Wish you were here...

    *I Wish That I Could Be You*....Michael Franti

    I wish that I could be you,
    for a moment or two.
    And you could be me ,
    if you wanted to see,
    what it's like in my shoes.

    Chillin' on a corner cause I gotta kill an hour.
    I see a pretty sister over purchasing some flowers.
    She walks into the grocery, so I take a step and follow.
    She gives me funny feelings in my throat and so I swallow.
    Afraid to approach her, I stand goofy in the isle.
    Shopkeeper starring, but he don't give me know smile.
    He says,"customers only boy, leave if your not buying."
    I turn around to him and say,

    I wish that I could be you,
    for a moment or two.
    And you could be me ,
    if you wanted to see,
    what it's like in my shoes.

    Outside a night club, got know invitation.
    A limosine pulls up, ya know it's causing made comotion.
    So I move alittle closer, maybe see a superstar.
    Just to catch a glimpse of who's coming out the car.
    A man steps out, you know he's dress up like Mac the knife.
    He had a taste of the plastic things in life.
    Mad clothes, fine women, spent the rest on gettig high.
    Laughed at other folks along the way just gettig by.
    I eased up through the crowd just so I could see his face.
    His two security goons come knock me on my ace.
    I say," Yo man you ain't gotta do that, I ain't trying to rock your world."
    And at that same moment I see that pretty girl.
    The one from the grocery, I saw buying flowers.
    Steps out the limo and her face looks kind of sour.
    Plastic man grabs her arm and walks away.
    I sit up, look at him and say'

    I wish that I could be you,
    for a moment or two.
    And you could be me ,
    if you wanted to see,
    what it's like in my shoes.

    That girl looks so damn fine,
    I thought I'd never get her off my mind.
    So I walk around to the back alley,
    Try to sneek into the party.
    I zoom in like binoculars on something that did shock me.
    That plastic man he had that girl up against the wall.
    He was all up in her face, his fist up in a ball.
    I said,"Yo man you better leave that nice young girl alone."
    And he smacked her one more time and said,"oh what, you want some."
    He took a swing at me,
    I ducked, hit him with an uppercut,
    knocked him on his butt like he got struck by mac the truck.
    He grabbed the sisters shoulders
    and then he slammed her to the ground.
    Crack, a deadly sound, red blood soiled the ground.
    Sister wounded, I took in my arms.
    I started praying that she would not be gones.
    I heard sirens going off in my head,
    and I whispered in her ear and said,

    I wish I could be you,
    for a moment or two,
    and you could be me if you wanted to see
    just what I think of you.

    You make me weep, I wanna die
    Just when you said we'd try
    Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other
    When I'm alone all by myself
    You're out with someone else
    Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other

    You're tearin' me apart
    Oh every, everyday
    You're tearin' me apart
    Oh girl what can I say?
    You're tearin' me apart

    It won't be long girl
    till you're alone
    When your lover
    oh, he hasn't come home
    Cause he's lovin', ooh he's touchin'
    he's squeezin' another
    He's tearin' you apart
    Oh, every, everyday
    He's tearin' you apart
    Oh girl what can you say?
    Cause he's lovin', touchin' another
    Now it's your turn, girl to cry

    Wish you were here...

    My lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
    Been a month since I've even heard myself talk
    Only advantage this life's got on me
    Picture 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 don't you go and show it

    Oh, I walked the line, when you held me in at night
    Oh, I walked the line, when you held my hand at night

    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, and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly as you're lookin' at me

    And I sent you to bed
    Oh, in a little while I'll see now
    If just once I found true love
    Oh, I'd say it like I mean it

    But I walked the line
    When you held me in at night
    Oh, I walked the line
    When you held my hand at night
    Oh, I walked the line
    When you held me close at night
    I paid the price
    Never held you in real life

    My lips are shakin'.

    Wish you were here...

    I, I will be king
    And you, you will be queen
    Though nothing will drive them away
    We can beat them, just for one day
    We can be heroes, just for one day

    And you, you can be mean
    And I, I'll drink all the time
    'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
    Yes we're lovers, and that is that

    Though nothing, will keep us together
    We could steal time, just for one day
    We can be heroes, for ever and ever
    What d'you say?

    I, I wish you could swim
    Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
    Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
    We can beat them, for ever and ever
    Oh we can be heroes, just for one day

    I, I will be king
    And you, you will be queen
    Though nothing will drive them away
    We can be heroes, just for one day
    We can be us, just for one day

    I, I can remember (I remember)
    Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
    And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
    And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
    And the shame, was on the other side
    Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
    Then we could be heroes, just for one day

    We can be heroes
    We can be heroes
    We can be heroes
    Just for one day
    We can be heroes

    We're nothing, and nothing will help us
    Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
    But we could be safer, just for one day

    Wish you were here...

    It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
    I'm not one of those who can easily hide
    I don't have much money but boy if I did
    I'd buy a big house where we both could live
    If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
    Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
    I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
    My gift is my song and this one's for you
    And you can tell everybody this is your song
    It may be quite simple but now that it's done
    I hope you don't mind
    I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
    How wonderful life is while you're in the world
    I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
    Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
    But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
    It's for people like you that keep it turned on
    So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
    You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
    Anyway the thing is what I really mean
    Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

  • One time we were down and out and out and in
    Yes we all have problems
    But that's not where I want to begin
    Time's gone by, overnight, just like that
    And I can tell by what you don't tell me
    How much you mean by that
    And remember when this did start
    It was real, never a lark
    It was as deep as we can go
    Now I want you all to know
    This is not a reflection of you
    Or a portrait of me

    It's not make believe
    It's all too real you see
    I want nothing but to know
    It was all it seems
    I just want to think some of the things you said
    You really did mean
    If you wanna go
    Why should I say no?
    That'll be okay by me
    I don't want you to leave
    You can believe what you believe
    That'll be okay by me
    I remember when this did start
    It was real never a lark
    It was deep as deep as it can go
    Now I want you all to know
    If you wanna go
    Why should I say no?
    That'll be okay by me
    I don't want you to leave
    You can believe what you believe
    That will be okay by me
    That'll be okay by me
    That'll be okay by me

    the direction of the eye
    so misleading
    the defection of the soul
    nauseously quick

    I don't question
    our existence
    I just question
    our modern needs

    I will walk...with my hands bound
    I will walk...with my face blood
    I will walk...with my shadow flag
    into your garden
    garden of stone

    after all is done
    we're still alone
    I won't be taken
    yet I'll go...

    I will walk...with my hands bound
    I will walk...with my face blood
    I will walk...with my shadow flag
    into your garden
    garden of stone

    I don't show...
    I don't share...
    I don't need
    what you have to give...

    Wish you were here...

    I really DO love this song. :geek:

    Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
    As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
    Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love
    Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none

    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...

    Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh
    Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
    I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world to make me believe

    Stay with me
    You're all I see...

    Did I say that I need you?
    Did I say that I want you?
    Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
    No one knows this more than me

    As I come clean...
    I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
    Everything you gave
    And nothing you would save, oh no

    Nothing you would take
    Everything you gave...

    Did I say that I need you?
    Oh, did I say that I want you?
    Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
    No one knows this more than me
    And I come clean, ah...

    Nothing you would take
    Everything you gave
    Hold me til I die
    Meet you on the other side...

    i will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
    watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
    i will stand arms outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
    i will make my way, through, one more day in hell...
    how much difference does it make
    how much difference does it make...
    i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
    i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
    i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
    hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
    how much difference does it make
    how much difference does it make..
    how much difference...
    i'll swallow poison, until i grow immune
    i will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
    how much difference
    how much difference
    how much difference does it make
    how much difference does it make...

    Wish you were here...

    I got you - that's all I want
    I won't forget - that's a whole lot
    I don't go out - now that you're in
    Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem

    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

    Look at you - you're a pageant
    You're everything - that I've imagined
    Something's wrong - I feel uneasy
    You show me - tell me you're not teasin'

    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

    There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
    When I'm without - I stay in my room
    Where do you go - I get no answer
    You're always out - it gets on my nerves

    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying
    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying

    Prophets Of War

    It burns deep down inside of me,
    we have ourselves to blame.
    Not questioning, accepted as the truth.

    Debate this fight it's just cause,
    the facts do not support theirs.
    To liberate a people,
    and rid them of tyrant rule

    Is it time to make the change,
    are we closer than before,
    can we help them break away,
    are we profiting from war?
    It´s time to make the change.

    Intrigued
    Got your attention
    Deceived
    Since the inception
    Our brave
    Fight for what reason

    Compelled
    Can we clean up this mess,
    The loss of loved ones
    A perverse request
    They continue the same rhetoric
    These derelicts that profit
    Win or lose.

    Is it time to make a change,
    Are we closer than before,
    Can we help them break away,
    Are we profiting from war?
    It´s time to make a change.

    Time for change
    Fight the fear
    Find the truth
    Time for change

    The only thing that I believe
    Will help us see this through is faith.
    Pray they will forgive,
    Forgive our arrogance,
    So we can make it right,
    Right for they have wronged.

    See you sweat
    Unexpected, Controversial
    Get used to it
    Things are gonna get personal
    Your sympathy
    A pitiful display you shutter
    Your empathy
    Means nothing if there is no honor
    Responsible
    Of this you are incapable
    We implicate
    Incriminate--Exacerbate
    Too much at stake

    Our Father, Mothers
    Sisters, Brothers
    Sons and Daughters
    Forced
    Perpetuating their ideals
    A mindless act
    To stay the course


    Is it time to make a change,
    Are we closer than before,
    Can we help them break away,
    Are we profiting from war?

    Is it time to make a change,
    Are we closer than before,
    Can we help them break away,
    Are we profiting from war,
    Is it time to make a change?
    A change from what it's been
    Can we help them break away,
    Is our patience wearing thin?
    It´s time to make a change.

    Time for change
    Fight the fear
    Find the truth
    Time for change



    Peace

    I survived
    It's good enough for now

    And some you'll have to bend

    Baby you'll come knocking on
    my front door
    Same old line you used to use before
    I said ya...well...
    what am I supposed to do
    I didn't know what I was getting into
    So you've had a little trouble in town
    Now you're keeping some demon down
    Stop draggin' my...
    Stop draggin' my...
    Stop draggin' my heart around
    It's hard to think about
    what you've wanted
    It's hard to think about what you've lost
    This doesn't have to be the big get even
    This doesn't have to be anything at all
    I know you really want to
    tell me good-bye
    I know you really want to
    be your own girl
    Baby you could never look me in the eye
    Yeah you buckle with the weight
    of the words
    Stop draggin' my...
    Stop draggin' my...
    Stop draggin' my heart around
    There's people running 'round loose
    in the world
    Ain't got nothing better to do
    Than make a meal of some
    bright eyed kid
    You need someone looking after you
    I know you really want to
    tell me good-bye
    I know you really want to
    be your own girl
    Baby you could never look me in the eye
    Yeah you buckle with the weight
    of the words
    Stop draggin' my...
    Stop draggin' my...
    Stop draggin' my heart around

    Wish you were here...

    Hey there, sugar baby,
    saw you twice at the pop show
    You take just like glitter mixed with rock and roll
    I like you a lot, lot,
    think you're really hot, hot

    Lady Gaga - Boys, Boys, Boys

    Moving!

    Let me take you to the movies. Can I take you to the show
    Let me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden grow

    From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
    From the door comes Satan's daughter, and it only goes to show. You know.

    There's an angel on my shoulder, In my hand a sword of gold
    Let me wander in your garden. And the seeds of love I'll sow. You know.

    So the world is spinning faster. Are you dizzy when you're stoned?
    Let the music be your master. Will you heed the master's call
    Oh... Satan and man.

    Said there ain't no use in crying. Cause it will only, only drive you mad
    Does it hurt to hear them lying? Was this the only world you had? Oh-oh

    So let me take you, take you to the movie. Can I take you, baby, to the show.
    Why don't you let me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden grow
    You know.

    Wish you were here...

    vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
    cannot find the comfort in this world
    artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
    vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
    a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
    but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
    as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
    swept out through the cracks beneath the door
    holier than thou, how?
    surrendered...executed anyhow
    scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
    a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
    he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
    immortality...
    i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
    coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
    oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
    and whiskers in the sink...
    truants move on...cannot stay long
    some die just to live...
    ohh...

    Wish you were here...
