    If I had to lose a mile
    If I had to touch feelings
    I would lose my soul
    The way I do

    I don't have to think
    I only have to do it
    The results are always perfect
    But that's old news.

    Would you like to hear my voice
    Sprinkled with emotion
    Invented at your birth?

    I can't see the end of me
    My whole expanse I cannot see
    I formulate infinity
    and store it deep inside of me

    If I had to lose a mile
    If I had to touch feelings
    I would lose my soul
    The way I do

    I don't have to think
    I only have to do it
    The results are always perfect
    And that's old news

    Would you like to hear my voice
    Sprinkled with emotion
    Invented at your birth?

    I can't see the end of me
    My whole expanse I cannot see

    I formulate infinity
    and store it deep inside of me

    Wish you were here...

    Don't wish it away
    Don't look at it like it's forever
    Between you and me
    I could honestly say
    That things can only get better

    And while I'm away
    Dust out the demons inside
    And it won't be long
    Before you and me run
    To the place in our hearts
    Where we hide

    And I guess that's why
    They call it the blues
    Time on my hands
    Could be time spent with you
    Laughing like children
    Living like lovers
    Rolling like thunder under the covers
    And I guess that's why
    They call it the blues

    Just stare into space
    Picture my face in your hands
    Live for each second
    Without hesitation
    And never forget I'm your man

    Without me girl
    Cry in the night if it helps
    But more than ever I simply love you
    More than I love life itself

    And I guess that's why
    They call it the blues
    Time on my hands
    Could be time spent with you
    Laughing like children
    Living like lovers
    Rolling like thunder under the covers
    And I guess that's why
    They call it the blues

    Wait on me girl
    Cry in the night if it helps
    But more than ever I simply love you
    More than I love life itself

    And I guess that's why
    They call it the blues
    Time on my hands
    Could be time spent with you
    Laughing like children
    Living like lovers
    Rolling like thunder under the covers
    And I guess that's why
    They call it the blues

    Wish you were here...

    All of a sudden she
    was on my mind
    I wasn't ready for her kind
    And she was taking her time.

    What if she came to me
    Would she be kind?
    And if she stayed with me
    Do you think that
    she'd like to do anything
    I would, or would she leave me?

    Lately I've found myself
    losing my mind
    Knowing how badly I need her
    It's something hard to find.

    What if she came to me
    Would she be kind?
    And if she stayed with me
    Do you think that she'd
    like to do anything
    I would, or would she leave me?

    If I could have her tonight
    Does she want to go?
    Look at those eyes
    Does she want it?
    If I could have her tonight

    If I could have her tonight
    If I could have her tonight.

    A charmed life it is
    At least they tell yo so
    I got a good idea
    It ain't like they say is so
    And if it is then let me go
    Let me go
    Any day there might be hell to pay
    But in other ways
    It makes it seem ok
    I'll tell you what I mean
    It's not a plot nor a scheme
    It's just peace in my mind
    Again can I use the word kind
    I ain't sorry about it baby
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    I lose myself
    I forget myself
    Sometimes I fault myself
    I might fight myself
    But then I make amends

    I freeze myself
    Rain on myself
    OK, so I stone myself
    And I might even find myself
    But then again what happens if I do
    So unzip my pride

    Open me up wide
    So I can show this to you

    I want to shine for you
    I want to sparkle too

    Just like a diamond cursed
    Well you know it don't get worse

    You know that I'll save you time
    Your trouble now is mine

    Hold me baby
    Hold me girl
    And I will laugh with you
    If you want me to

    Roll me in your splendor
    I'll envy your surrender
    And show you victory

    I hate myself
    Doesn't everybody hate themselves
    I scare myself

    Then I tell myself it's all in my mind
    So I let the poison go
    'Cause I always know
    It will be there for me
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    I've been lost in the headlights
    All night long
    Said I've felt taller, yes I heard
    The dealer's song

    Say babe don't mark me absent
    I only missed out by a fraction
    Be the sun that bursts through my clouds
    It's hard enough just living on this ground

    Say don't pretend to me
    I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need
    Thought nothing would surprise me
    I was wrong now I see
    Come on baby and just do me if you please

    This made me reminiscing
    About the honey we made
    I feel warm in your blizzard
    And your flood I crave
    I won't abuse my anger
    I promise you no lecture
    Come be the sun bursting through my clouds
    It's hard enough just living on the ground
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    :mrgreen: Just for my happy mood-->


    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
    and I say it's all right

    Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
    Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
    and I say it's all right

    Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
    Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
    and I say it's all right

    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

    Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
    Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
    and I say it's all right
    It's all right

    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
    and I say it's all right
    It's all right

    She's a victim of her senses
    Do you know her?
    Can you see her in the distance
    As she tumbles by?
    Veteran of a race
    that should be over
    Can you hear her sigh?
    With wings to fly
    She rolls along
    Doing it wrong.

    Oh, I've loved her so long
    Oh, I've loved her so long
    There's a place that I know
    We could go
    get away for a while
    I can bring her the peace
    That she needs
    Give her reason to smile.

    Oh, I've loved her so long

    A lot of people spend their time just floating
    We were victims together but lonely

    Oh Mr. Pit, oh Mr. Pit, Mr. Pitiful
    Who let you down?
    Who let you down?
    Who let you down?

    You still don't believe, you don't believe
    You don't believe, and your grievances show
    When your soapbox unfolds

    But please come down from that cloud you're sitting on
    I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong

    I just want to know how you've been
    It don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
    Mulling it all over in my head
    I hope that you see through your picket
    I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence
    To make amends
    And still be friends, still be my friend

    So where did you go? Where did you go?
    Where did you go while I was out?
    While I was out? While I was out?
    Well I don't believe, I don't believe
    I don't believe everything I see
    And if you don't like the movie then quit acting

    But please come down from that cloud you're sitting on
    I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong

    I just want to know how you've been
    It don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
    Mulling it all over in my head
    I hope that you see through your picket
    I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence
    To make amends
    And still be friends, still be friends

    Still be my friend

    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...

    Like a soldier standing long under fire
    Any change comes as a relief.
    Let the giver's name remain unspoken
    For she is just a generous thief.

    I was thinkin' 'bout you and me.

    Open up your eyes
    See how life time flies
    Open up and let the light back in.

    Woke up this morning
    with love in mind
    It was raining outside
    but my love still shined
    Kept me warm
    till my plane touched the sky

    And I've seen love
    make a fool of a man
    He tried to make a loser win.
    But I've got nothing to lose
    I can't get back again.

    Man made rules
    been holdin' back my love
    Can't hold it back no more.
    Churches long preach sex is wrong
    Jesus where is nature gone?
    What am I doing here?
    What am I doing here?
    What am I doing here?

    Woke up this morning
    with love in mind
    It was raining outside
    but my love still shined
    Kept me warm
    till my plane touched the sky
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    Here comes the Moon

    Everybody's talking up a storm
    Act like they don't notice it
    But here it is and here it comes...
    Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon.

    Impulse always quickens when it's full
    As it turns my head around me
    Yes it does and here it comes
    Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon.

    God's gift I see that's moving up there into the night...
    Though dark the mirror in the sky reflects us our light:
    Looks like a little brother to the sun
    Or mother to the stars at night
    And here it is and here it comes
    Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon.

    Breath is always taken when it's new
    Enhance upon the clouds around it
    Yes it is and here it comes
    Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon.

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say
    and nothing else matters

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us something new
    Open mind for a different view
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    but I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    but I know

    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us, something new
    Open mind for a different view
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they say
    never cared for games they play
    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    and I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    No, nothing else matters

    Wish you were here...

    love I get so lost, sometimes
    days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
    when I want to run away
    I drive off in my car
    but whichever way I go
    I come back to the place you are

    all my instincts, they return
    and the grand facade, so soon will burn
    without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside

    in your eyes
    the light the heat
    in your eyes
    I am complete
    in your eyes
    I see the doorway to a thousand churches
    in your eyes
    the resolution of all the fruitless searches
    in your eyes
    I see the light and the heat
    in your eyes
    oh, I want to be that complete
    I want to touch the light
    the heat I see in your eyes

    love, I don't like to see so much pain
    so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
    I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
    I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

    and all my instincts, they return
    and the grand facade, so soon will burn
    without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside

    in your eyes
    the light the heat
    in your eyes
    I am complete
    in your eyes
    I see the doorway to a thousand churches
    in your eyes
    the resolution of all the fruitless searches
    in your eyes
    I see the light and the heat
    in your eyes
    oh, I want to be that complete
    I want to touch the light,
    the heat I see in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes

    Wish you were here...

    Lover, there will be another one
    Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
    Tomorrow see the things that never come
    Today

    When you see me
    Fly away without you
    Shadow on the things you know
    Feathers fall around you
    And show you the way to go
    It's over, it's over.

    Nestled in your wings my little one
    This special morning brings another sun
    Tomorrow see the things that never come
    Today

    When you see me
    Fly away without you
    Shadow on the things you know
    Feathers fall around you
    And show you the way to go
    It's over, it's over.

    When the dream came

    I held my breath with my eyes closed

    I went insane,

    Like a smoke ring day

    When the wind blows

    Now I won't be back till later on

    If I do come back at all

    But you know me, and I miss you now.



    In a strange game

    I saw myself as you knew me

    When the change came,

    And you had a

    Chance to see through me

    Though the other side is just the same

    You can tell my dream is real

    Because I love you, can you see me now.



    Though we rush ahead to save our time

    We are only what we feel

    And I love you, can you feel it now
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    How I love you baby
    So don't let me wait too long

    How I love you baby
    So don't let me wait too long

    How I miss you baby
    So don't let me wait too long

    How I miss you baby
    So don't let me wait too long

    'Till you're here by my side
    Now only you know how to dry up all
    of those tears that I've cried

    Here, with our love
    Now only you know how to lay it down
    like it came from above

    You know it's you that I love

    Now don't let me wait too long
    Now don't let me wait too long
    Now don't let me wait too long
    Now don't let me wait too long

    I have no idea what this one means, but I love the way it bounces along. :)

    Subterranean Homesick Blues

    Johnny’s in the basement
    Mixing up the medicine
    I’m on the pavement
    Thinking about the government
    The man in the trench coat
    Badge out, laid off
    Says he’s got a bad cough
    Wants to get it paid off
    Look out kid
    It’s somethin’ you did
    God knows when
    But you’re doin’ it again
    You better duck down the alley way
    Lookin’ for a new friend
    The man in the coon-skin cap
    In the big pen
    Wants eleven dollar bills
    You only got ten

    Maggie comes fleet foot
    Face full of black soot
    Talkin’ that the heat put
    Plants in the bed but
    The phone’s tapped anyway
    Maggie says that many say
    They must bust in early May
    Orders from the D.A.
    Look out kid
    Don’t matter what you did
    Walk on your tiptoes
    Don’t try “No-Doz”
    Better stay away from those
    That carry around a fire hose
    Keep a clean nose
    Watch the plain clothes
    You don’t need a weatherman
    To know which way the wind blows

    Get sick, get well
    Hang around a ink well
    Ring bell, hard to tell
    If anything is goin’ to sell
    Try hard, get barred
    Get back, write braille
    Get jailed, jump bail
    Join the army, if you fail
    Look out kid
    You’re gonna get hit
    But users, cheaters
    Six-time losers
    Hang around the theaters
    Girl by the whirlpool
    Lookin’ for a new fool
    Don’t follow leaders
    Watch the parkin’ meters

    Ah get born, keep warm
    Short pants, romance, learn to dance
    Get dressed, get blessed
    Try to be a success
    Please her, please him, buy gifts
    Don’t steal, don’t lift
    Twenty years of schoolin’
    And they put you on the day shift
    Look out kid
    They keep it all hid
    Better jump down a manhole
    Light yourself a candle
    Don’t wear sandals
    Try to avoid the scandals
    Don’t wanna be a bum
    You better chew gum
    The pump don’t work
    ’Cause the vandals took the handles

    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...

    on the edge
    windowsill
    ponders his maker
    ponders his will
    to the street below
    he just ain't nothin'
    but he's got a great view...

    on the edge
    know-nothin' town
    feelin' quite superior
    the aged come
    to the sky above
    he just ain't nothin'
    but he's got a great view...

    on the edge of a
    christmas clean love
    young virgin from heaven
    visiting...
    to the man above her
    she just ain't nothin'...
    she doesn't like the view
    doesn't like the view
    doesn't like the view...
    but he sinks himself deep.

    can't touch the bottom
    in too deep
    can't touch the bottom

    can't touch the bottom
    in too deep
    can't touch the bottom

    can't touch the bottom
    in too deep
    can't touch the bottom
    can't touch the bottom

    walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
    future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
    caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    isn't it something?
    nothingman...
    she once believed...in every story he had to tell...
    one day she stiffened...took the other side...
    empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
    one just escapes...one's left inside the well...
    and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    isn't it something?
    nothingman...
    oh, she don't want him...
    oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
    oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
    burn...burn...
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    isn't it something?
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    coulda' been something...
    nothingman...
    oh...ohh...ohh...

    Wish you were here...

    Before you slip into unconsciousness
    I'd like to have another kiss
    Another flashing chance at bliss
    Another kiss, another kiss

    The days are bright and filled with pain
    Enclose me in your gentle rain
    The time you ran was too insane
    We'll meet again, we'll meet again


    Oh tell me where your freedom lies
    The streets are fields that never die
    Deliver me from reasons why
    You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly


    The crystal ship is being filled
    A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
    A million ways to spend your time
    When we get back, I'll drop a line

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad

    I am listening to this most beautiful song right now (a wonderful live version with an extended piano intro)
    lyrics a bit on the sappy side :P

    Roxy Music - A song for Europe

    Here as I sit
    At this empty cafe
    Thinking of you
    I remember
    All those moments
    Lost in wonder
    That we'll never
    Find again
    Though the world
    Is my oyster
    It's only a shell
    Full of memories
    And here by the Seine
    Notre-Dame casts
    A long lonely shadow
    Now only sorrow
    No tomorrow
    There's no today for us
    Nothing is there
    For us to share
    But yesterday

    These cities may change
    But there always remains
    My obsession
    Through silken waters
    My gondola glides
    And the bridge - it sighs ...
    I remember
    All those moments
    Lost in wonder
    That we'll never
    Find again
    There's no more time for us
    Nothing is there
    For us to share
    But yesterdays

    Ecce momenta
    Illa mirabilia
    Quae captabit
    In aeternum
    Memor
    Modo dolores
    Sunt in dies
    Non est reliquum
    Vero tantum
    Comminicamus
    Perdita

    Tous ces moments
    Perdus dans l'enchantement
    Qui ne reviendront
    Jamais
    Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous
    Pour nous il n'y a rien
    A partager
    Sauf le passé

    Tous ces moments
    Perdus dans l`enchantement
    Qui ne reviendront
    Jamais ... jamais jamais jamais jamais....
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.

    I'll do it again
    If I have to love you from afar
    You'll do it again
    Before we get too far

    And I'll hurt you again
    Baby if you'll hurt me one more time
    'Cause love that's bad
    Is better than none

    You know breaking up is half of the fun
    And who would want a dream
    That can't be real
    I'll do it again

    I will let you take me for a ride
    You'll do it again
    Start opening then hide
    And I'll hurt you again

    Baby if you'll hurt me one more time
    'Cause love that's bad
    Is better than none
    You know breaking up is half of the fun

    And who would want a dream
    That can't be real
    I'll do it again...

    A love that's bad
    Is better than none
    You know breaking up is half of the fun
    And who would want a dream
    That can't be real

    And I'll hurt you again
    Baby if you'll hurt me one more time
    'Cause love that's bad
    Is better than none
    You know breaking up is half of the fun

    And who would want a dream
    That can't be real
    I'll do it again
    I'll do it again
