Aung San Suu Kyi on house arrest
Another Bhutto assassination
Could've stopped Sarajevo we must confess
But we were planning our next invasion
Where are the leaders of the atomic age?
Is it just another working day?
Said he was coming, he was on his way
But he fell down the hole in the ocean
Ay
The levies are full
But the river runs dry
And the desert grows into the grassland
And the space that separates us grows ever wide
As the profiteer stokes the division
Something's not right, something is wrong
With the news at eleven that no one has told them
If we don't come together it won't be long
These are the wars that face the generation
Ay
It's a peculiar situation
When the leaders of the wealthy nations
Don't know all the damage they done
It's so Bohemian
Mother Hubbard cover the investigation
But all they know is their retaliation
So they appeal to the dog's thirst
But he tips his hat and he says, no
I don't need your world control
And the opinion of the inner elite
Oh don't you know
That we are aching for a part in the chance worth taking
Who's to say
That we are destined just to fall at your feet

It's a peculiar situation
When the leaders of the wealthy nations

Walking through the park, it wasn't quite dark
There was a man sitting on a bench
Out of the crowd as his head lowly bowed
He just moaned and he made no sense
He'd just go
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
I just couldn't help myself
Yes, I was born with a curious mind
I asked this man just what did he mean
When he moaned if he'd be so kind
And he'd just go
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Now that I've grown up
And the woman I love she has gone
Now that I'm a man, I think I understand
Sometimes everyone must sing this song
Listen to me sing
Um, um, um, um, um, um

Um, um, um, um, um, um

Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
One more time, now
All of these days into one
Awaken to the silence of the sun
Who can I talk with today?
Why am I still the same?
No reward for calling out your name
As I have done time and time again
You were off in some great distant sun
I am froze in time, to shun
All of my sad songs can't make you change
They'll just keep pushing you further away
One of your great regrets would be staying in place
And I can't hold you back from your dreams
When you figure out what's real I'll be standing here
A little bit older, but forgiving as night into day

Well, I lost my innocence today
I could feel her in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood
And I woke up, tired, scared and sad
Soaked, drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What you still, you still, you still, you still
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow feelings, yeah
I can, done, I just don't care
And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
I swear I didn't know,
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not gods, we're just hacks
All that life amongst the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves
And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it, oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God...
Oh my God, oh my... God
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone

Crying in the morning trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined to fall
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding
What it was I was supposed to say
To say to you today
It wasn't like the others it was nothing at all
It wasn't like anything it was easy to fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined for it all

All the years combine
they melt into a dream
a broken angel sings
from a guitar
In the end there's just a song
comes cryin' up the night
through all the broken dreams
and vanished years
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
When all the cards are down
there's nothing left to see
there's just the pavement left
and broken dreams
and there's still that song
comes cryin' like the wind
down every lonely street
that's ever been
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel...
...can't win for trying...
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time
gonna make them shine--*shine*
It all rolls into one
and nothing comes for free
there's nothing you can hold
for very long
& when you hear that song
come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life
was just a dream
it's easier not to be wise
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this
it's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve
alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
~ ~ ~ ~
oh, now, we took it back too far, ................................only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn ...............................all come runnin' back to you,
all these rhythms that you hide .............................. only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn .................................. yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ve been a walking heartache. I’ve made a mess of me.
The person that I’ve been lately ain’t who I wanna be.
But you stay here right beside me, and watch as the storm blows through. And I need you.
‘Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs.
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
And for when I think I lost my way, when there are no words here left to say, it’s true,
God gave me you…gave me you.
There’s more here than what we’re seeing, a divine conspiracy,
that you an angel lovely would somehow fall for me.
You’ll always be loves great martyr, and I’ll be the flattered fool. And I need you.....
Yeah, God gave me you for the ups and downs.
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
And for when I think I lost my way, when there are no words here left to say, it’s true,
God gave me you…gave me you.....
On my own I’m only half of what I could be.
I can’t do without you. We are stitched together.
And what love has tethered I pray we never undo.

aww.. thank you... you turned the shit into a Sea of Love : )
Your sad eyes never told me
No paradise here for the lonely
But I hold on, half a heart here in my hands
Been so long, would you know me
Who's holding you, who's gonna hold me
If you want me, then I'll be your man
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
Can you take me to heaven
Show me the way cause I'm no angel
I'm lost and can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you was holding you down
WIll I have your memory
Or will your memory have me
I don't know, only time knows if I'll ever know peace of mind
Only time knows if you're mine, if you're mine
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
All I can hold is a shadow of a heart that's gone
And left me shattered I'm lost and can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you was holding you down
I guess me holding you was holding you down
I guess me holding you was holding you down
Well it's better to have loved and lost
Than to never have loved at all
Never have loved, never have loved at all
Well it'll break your heart, tear it apart
But no one understands
No one understands
The affairs of the heart
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
I'm not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
Still we're already paying the price
But you need some rest
My darling, it's best
But we've already passed it, I cried
Ooohee...
Listen to me
My secret love secretly
Died
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
I am not asking salvation from you
I'm just asking to be saved for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
..
Still we're already paying the price
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
I'm not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
Still we're already paying the price
But you need some rest
My darling, it's best
But we've already passed it, I cried
Ooohee...
Listen to me
My secret love secretly
Died
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
I am not asking salvation from you
I'm just asking to be saved for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
..
Still we're already paying the price
isn't this true in so many ways..... ( I'm glad you're enjoying her new c.d. )
Here it comes it's all blowing in tonight
I woke up this morning to a blood red sky
They're burning on the bridge turning off the lights
We're on the run I can see it in your eyes
If nothing is safe then I don't understand
You call me your boy but I'm trying to be the man
One more day and it's all slipping with the sand
You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand
The back of my hand
Guess we both know we're in over our heads
We got nowhere to go and no home that's left
The water is rising on a river turning red
It all might be OK or we might be dead
If everything we've got is slipping away
I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all gone black but you're all I see
You're all I see
The walls are shaking, I hear them sound the alarm
Glass is breaking so don't let go of my arm
Grab your bags and a picture of where we met
All that we'll leave behind and all that's left
If everything we've got is blowing away
We've got a rock and a rock till our dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all we got but it's all I need
You're all I need
And if all we've got, is what no one can break,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take,
the tears are coming down, they're mixing with the rain,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take.
A pool is running for miles on the concrete ground
We're eight feet deep and the rain is still coming down
The TV's playing it all out of town
We're grabbing at the fray for something that won't drown
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to see you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son, not a daughter
'Cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs,
Have a friend who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
And I like mine deep
Tied to the bottom
With a noose around my feet
The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say "I wish he was dead"
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry
I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love yo like tar
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar
Clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say "I wish he was dead"
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry
To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with vultures
And empty saviours like you
Oh, I wish I had a nickel for every miracle
That you easily tricked me into
You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm
I've no time for accusations
Or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do
Just a note from your jailor
Drugs and the relations
To all the people around you
You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm
I've kept secret your superstitions
And all its twisted wisdom
That I fell into
So you think that you've seen it all, is that a fact?
So out your mouth a dictionary spouts about this and that
You've got your dos, your don'ts, because and why
Well I don't trust nobody who don't take their own advice
The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do ...
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance...
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can
You think that a little more money can buy your soul some rest
You better think something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart ...

She'll never see it, oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God...
Oh my God, oh my... God
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I tear, I tear, so hard...
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
and it feels so real,
I can feel it--
and it tasts so real,
I can taste it--
and it sounds so real,
I can hear it--
and it is so real,
I can be it--
But why-y-y-y-y-y
Can't I touch you-u-u?

Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined to fall
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding
What it was I was supposed to say
To say to you today
It wasn't like the others it was nothing at all
It wasn't like anything it was easy to fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined for it all
And it's a better point of view
While you were looking for a landslide
I was looking out for you"
All the years combine
they melt into a dream
a broken angel sings
from a guitar
In the end there's just a song
comes cryin' up the night
through all the broken dreams
and vanished years
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
When all the cards are down
there's nothing left to see
there's just the pavement left
and broken dreams
and there's still that song
comes cryin' like the wind
down every lonely street
that's ever been
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel...
...can't win for trying...
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time
gonna make them shine--*shine*
It all rolls into one
and nothing comes for free
there's nothing you can hold
for very long
& when you hear that song
come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life
was just a dream
Stella Blue
But that burden's not on you
Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that
Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that

The Antlers
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this
it's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve
alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate

oh, now, we took it back too far,
................................only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
...............................all come runnin' back to you,
all these rhythms that you hide
.............................. only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
.................................. yeah, yeah, yeah
The person that I’ve been lately ain’t who I wanna be.
But you stay here right beside me, and watch as the storm blows through. And I need you.
‘Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs.
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
And for when I think I lost my way, when there are no words here left to say, it’s true,
God gave me you…gave me you.
There’s more here than what we’re seeing, a divine conspiracy,
that you an angel lovely would somehow fall for me.
You’ll always be loves great martyr, and I’ll be the flattered fool. And I need you.....
Yeah, God gave me you for the ups and downs.
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
And for when I think I lost my way, when there are no words here left to say, it’s true,
God gave me you…gave me you.....
On my own I’m only half of what I could be.
I can’t do without you. We are stitched together.
And what love has tethered I pray we never undo.
He gave me you.....
yess!!
Sending hugs and kisses to you - Shezhad ( frome across the ocean )
aww.. thank you... you turned the shit into a Sea of Love : )
Your sad eyes never told me
No paradise here for the lonely
But I hold on, half a heart here in my hands
Been so long, would you know me
Who's holding you, who's gonna hold me
If you want me, then I'll be your man
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
Can you take me to heaven
Show me the way cause I'm no angel
I'm lost and can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you was holding you down
WIll I have your memory
Or will your memory have me
I don't know, only time knows if I'll ever know peace of mind
Only time knows if you're mine, if you're mine
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
All I can hold is a shadow of a heart that's gone
And left me shattered I'm lost and can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you was holding you down
I guess me holding you was holding you down
I guess me holding you was holding you down
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
I'm not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
Still we're already paying the price
But you need some rest
My darling, it's best
But we've already passed it, I cried
Ooohee...
Listen to me
My secret love secretly
Died
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears
Than to never have loved at all
Never have loved, never have loved at all
Well it'll break your heart, tear it apart
But no one understands
No one understands
The affairs of the heart
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning
You say I let you down
You know it’s not like that
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it
You say you lost your faith
But that’s not where it’s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I’d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don’t know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it
When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I’d rob them
And now I know you’re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don’t you understand
It’s not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you
I am not asking salvation from you
I'm just asking to be saved for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
..
Still we're already paying the price
isn't this true in so many ways..... ( I'm glad you're enjoying her new c.d. )
I woke up this morning to a blood red sky
They're burning on the bridge turning off the lights
We're on the run I can see it in your eyes
If nothing is safe then I don't understand
You call me your boy but I'm trying to be the man
One more day and it's all slipping with the sand
You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand
The back of my hand
Guess we both know we're in over our heads
We got nowhere to go and no home that's left
The water is rising on a river turning red
It all might be OK or we might be dead
If everything we've got is slipping away
I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all gone black but you're all I see
You're all I see
The walls are shaking, I hear them sound the alarm
Glass is breaking so don't let go of my arm
Grab your bags and a picture of where we met
All that we'll leave behind and all that's left
If everything we've got is blowing away
We've got a rock and a rock till our dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all we got but it's all I need
You're all I need
And if all we've got, is what no one can break,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take,
the tears are coming down, they're mixing with the rain,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take.
A pool is running for miles on the concrete ground
We're eight feet deep and the rain is still coming down
The TV's playing it all out of town
We're grabbing at the fray for something that won't drown
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
But you kiss good and I'd like to see you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son, not a daughter
'Cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs,
Have a friend who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
And I like mine deep
Tied to the bottom
With a noose around my feet
The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say "I wish he was dead"
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry
I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love yo like tar
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar
Clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say "I wish he was dead"
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry

I stopped hanging out with vultures
And empty saviours like you
Oh, I wish I had a nickel for every miracle
That you easily tricked me into
You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm
I've no time for accusations
Or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do
Just a note from your jailor
Drugs and the relations
To all the people around you
You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm
I've kept secret your superstitions
And all its twisted wisdom
That I fell into
Sister can you try and find me?

So out your mouth a dictionary spouts about this and that
You've got your dos, your don'ts, because and why
Well I don't trust nobody who don't take their own advice

Fight The Good Fight .... Triumph
The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do ...
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance...
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can
You think that a little more money can buy your soul some rest
You better think something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart ...
