  • As soon as you're born they make you feel small
    By giving you no time instead of it all
    Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
    A working class hero is something to be
    A working class hero is something to be
    They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
    They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
    Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
    A working class hero is something to be
    A working class hero is something to be

    When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
    Then they expect you to pick a career
    When you can't really function you're so full of fear
    A working class hero is something to be
    A working class hero is something to be

    Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv
    And you think you're so clever and classless and free
    But you're still fucking peasants as far as i can see
    A working class hero is something to be
    A working class hero is something to be

    There's room at the top they are telling you still
    But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
    If you want to be like the folks on the hill
    A working class hero is something to be
    A working class hero is something to be

    If you want to be a hero well just follow me
    If you want to be a hero well just follow me
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen
  • Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
    Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
    I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
    I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
    I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
    I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
    I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
    And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
    And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

    Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
    Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
    I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
    I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
    I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
    I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
    I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
    I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
    I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
    And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
    And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

    And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
    And what did you hear, my darling young one?
    I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
    Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
    Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
    Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
    Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
    Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
    Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
    And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
    And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

    Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
    Who did you meet, my darling young one?
    I met a young child beside a dead pony,
    I met a white man who walked a black dog,
    I met a young woman whose body was burning,
    I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
    I met one man who was wounded in love,
    I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
    And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
    It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

    Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
    Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
    I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
    I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
    Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
    Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
    Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
    Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
    Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
    Where black is the color, where none is the number,
    And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
    And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
    Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
    But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
    And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
    It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
    Life is the riddle
    Of which we're caught in the middle.
    A couple of lucky ones
    Tangled up in too much love
    ~cowboy junkies
  • Well, she's fashionably lean
    And she's fashionably late
    She'll never wreck a scene
    She'll never break a date
    But she's no drag
    Just watch the way she walks

    She's a twentieth century fox
    She's a twentieth century fox
    No tears, no fears
    No ruined years, no clocks
    She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah

    She's the queen of cool
    And she's the lady who waits
    Since her mind left school
    It never hesitates
    She won't waste time
    On elementary talk

    Cause she's a twentieth century fox
    She's a twentieth century fox
    Got the world locked up
    Inside a plastic box
    She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
    Twentieth century fox, oh yeah
    Twentieth century fox
    She's a twentieth century fox.....




    That song is for the lovely ladies of the AET. Wouldn't ya know just as soon as I find somewhere I actually fit, it gets closed? Ah, not to worry. We will find a way....we will find our place.....:)

    Now her paints are dry...
    And I looked outside...
    At the corner boys...

    Ayh, oh, where did you go?
    I don't know.

    I went to see your pictures...
    I spread them across the floor...
    So this is where they are shown...
    Now they're probably saying to you,
    If you keep it up you'll be born.

    But you won't ever listen,
    I'll bet...

    Burnt out, grass scorched by the sun.
    The buildings remain.

    We will beat them all to dust,
    I'll bet...

    Pulled from a headless shell
    That blinked on and off, Hotel.
    Now the nameless dwell.

    They hold your key and turn your knob,
    I'll bet...

    Will you say hello to my ma?
    Will you pay a visit to her?
    She was an artist, just as you were.
    I'd have introduced you to her.

    She would take me out on Sundays.
    We'd go laughing through the garbage.
    She repaired legs like a doctor
    On the kitchen chairs we sat on.

    She was unhappy, just as you were.
    Unhappy, just as you were.
    Unhappy, just as you were.
    Unhappy, just as you were...
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

  • Fix You - ColdPlay

    When you try your best but you don't succeed
    When you get what you want but not what you need
    When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
    Stuck in reverse

    And the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something you can't replace
    When you love someone but it goes to waste
    Could it be worse?

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    And high up above or down below
    When you're too in love to let it go
    But if you never try you'll never know
    Just what you're worth

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    Tears stream down your face
    when you lose something you cannot replace
    Tears stream down your face
    And I

    Tears stream down your face
    I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
    Tears stream down your face
    And I

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
    -Oscar Wilde

    "Music When The Lights Go Out" The Libertines

    is it cruel to be kind not to speak my mind and to lie to you rather than hurt you
    well ill confess all of my sins after several large gins but still ill hide from you, hide whats
    inside from you
    and alarm bells ring.when you say your heart still sings.when your with me, oh darling please
    forgive me
    but i no longer hear the music oh no no no no
    and all the memories of the pubs and the clubs, and the drugs and the tubs we shared together
    will stay with me forever..
    but all the highs and the lows and the to's and the fro's they left me dizzy oh wont you please
    forgive me

    but i no longer hear the music oh no no no no

    well i no longer hear the music when the lights go out love goes cold in the shades of doubt the
    strange fate in my mind its all too clear, music when the lights come on the girl i thought i
    knew has gone, and with her my heart it dissapeard

    well i no longer hear the music oh no no no no and all the memories of the fights and the nights
    and the blue lights and the kites we flew together i thought theyd fly forever

    but all the highs and the lows and the to's and the fro's they left me dizzy oh wont you please
    forgive me

    but i no longer hear the music oh no no no no

    well i no longer hear the music when the lights go out love goes cold in the shades of doubt the
    strange fate in my mind its all too clear

    i no longer hear the music when the lights go out the girl i thought i knew has gone and with
    her my heart has disapeard
    but i no longer hear the music oh no no no no and i no longer hear the music

    Let me tell you ’bout wayne and his deals of
    Cocaine
    A little more every day
    Holding for a friend till the band do well
    Then the d.e.a. locked him away

    Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors
    Bang bang, go the boots on the floor
    Cry cry, for your lonely mother’s son
    Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors

    An’ I’ll tell you ’bout pete, didn’t want no fame
    Gave all his money away
    Well there’s something wrong, it’ll be good for you, son
    And so they certified him insane

    And then there’s keith, waiting for trial
    Twenty-five thousand bail
    If he goes down you won’t hear his sound
    But his friends carry on anyway
    Fuck ’em!
    Jail guitar doors
    54/46 was my number
    Jail guitar doors
    Right now someone else has that number
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Given every moment I had
    Still I can never seem to keep up with you
    You're done with one mile and onto another one thousand
    Still I can never seem to keep up with you

    I know you'll be better off without me when I'm gone
    You know you're, you're beautiful
    You're beautiful

    Shine on
    You were made to
    Shine on
    And you know I love you
    And even if we can or can't be friends
    I'll be with you until the very end
    So shine on, you want me to

    It's keeping me awake every night
    But I can never seem to give up on you
    I send up a prayer and I'm onto another one thousand
    I can never seem to give up on you

    I know you'll be better off without me when I'm gone
    You know you're, you're beautiful
    You're beautiful

    Shine on
    You were made to
    Shine on
    And you know I love you
    And even if we can or can't be friends
    I'll be with you until the very end
    So shine on, yeah

    Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
    Keep moving on
    Shine on, yeah
    You want me to
    Shine on

    Shine on, you were made to
    Shine on, and you know I love you
    And even if we can or can't be friends
    Were gonna be brighter than we've ever been
    So shine on

    You're gonna be just fine
    Oh, you're gonna be alright, love
    You're gonne be just fine
    Oh, you're gonna be alright, love

    If I say I don't need anyone
    I can say these things to you
    'cause
    I can turn on anyone
    Just like I've turned on you
    I've got a tongue like a razor
    A sweet switchblade knife
    And I can do you favors
    But then you'll do whatever I like

    [Chorus]

    Here I am
    And you're a Rocket Queen
    I might be a little young
    But Honey I ain't naive
    Here I am
    And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah
    I might be too much
    But honey you're a bit obscene

    I've seen everything imaginable
    Pass before these eyes
    I've had everything that's tangible
    Honey you'd be suprised
    I'm a sexual innuendo
    In this burned out paradise
    If you turn me on to anything
    You better turn me on tonight

    [Chorus]

    I see you standin'
    Standin' on your own
    It's such a lonely place for you
    For you to be
    If you need a shoulder
    Or if you need a friend
    I'll be here standing
    Until the bitter end
    No one needs the sorrow
    No one needs the pain
    I hate to see you
    Walking out there
    Out in the rain
    So don't chastise me
    Or think I, I mean you harm
    Of those that take you
    Leave you strung out
    Much too far
    Baby-yeah

    Don't ever leave me
    Say you'll always be there
    All I ever wanted
    Was for you
    To know that I care
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
  • Gypsy~Fleetwood Mac

    So I'm back to the velvet underground
    Back to the floor that I love
    To a room with some lace and paper flowers
    Back to the gypsy that I was
    To the gypsy...that I was

    And it all comes down to you
    Well, you know that it does
    And lightening strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
    Oh, and it lights up the night
    And you see your gypsy
    You see your gypsy

    To the gypsy that remains
    Faces freedom, with a little fear
    I have no fear, I have only love
    And if I was a child
    And the child was enough
    Enough for me to love
    Enough to love

    She is dancing away from me now
    She was just a wish
    She was just a wish
    And a memory is all that is left for you now
    You see your gypsy
    You see your gypsy

    Lightening strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
    And it all comes down to you
    And it all comes down to you

    Lightening strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
    And it all comes down to you

    I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
    I have always loved you
    And it all comes down to you...
  • Go Your Own Way~Fleetwood Mac

    Lovin' you...isn't the right thing to do
    How can I ever change...things that I feel

    If I could...maybe I'd give you my world
    How can I...when you won't take it from me

    You can go your own way
    Go your own way
    You can call it another lonely day
    You can go your own way
    Go your own way

    Tell me why...everything turned around
    Packing up...shacking up's all you wanna do

    If I could...baby I'd give you my world
    Open up...everything's waiting for you

    You can go your own way
    Go your own way
    You can call it another lonely day
    You can go your own way
    Go your own way.....

    In Candy's room there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
    but to get to Candy's room you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
    Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring her toys
    When I come knocking she smiles pretty she knows I wanna be Candy's boy
    There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face
    A sadness all her own from which no man can keep Candy safe

    We kiss, my heart's rushes to my brain
    The blood rushes in my veins fire rushes towards the sky
    We go driving driving deep into the night
    I go driving deep into the light in Candy's eyes

    She says baby if you wanna be wild
    you got a lot to learn, close your eyes
    Let them melt, let them fire, let them burn
    Cause in the darkness there'll be hidden worlds that shine
    When I hold Candy close she makes these hidden worlds mine

    She has fancy clothes and diamond rings
    She has men who give her anything she wants but they don't see
    That what she wants is me,
    oh and I want her so
    I'll never let her go, no no no
    She knows that I'd give
    all that I got to give
    All that I want all that I live
    to make Candy mine
    Tonight
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
  • John Butler Trio - Peaches and Cream
    Well theres far too many questions to ask
    To answer any of them tonight
    For I wear too many masks
    To tell you if any of them are wrong or right

    And confusion casts a shadow upon me
    Like a great big cloud in the sky
    And now I pray for rain
    Cause its been so long since I let myself cry

    CHORUS:
    For so long
    I've sang this sad ole song
    And it feels like my time is up
    For she came and landed in my arms
    And she filled my half empty cup
    Yes she filled my half empty cup

    Now I look up above me and
    I thank that great ole God in the sky
    For telling me my cup aint half empty
    It took my little girl to show me why

    There you are
    Right in front of me
    A brand new day
    Sunrise over sea.

    No longer my cup half empty
    Cause there you are
    You and your mum in front of me
    Your peaches & cream to me
    You both are peaches & cream to me
    You both are peaches & cream to me

    All I know is
    All I know and
    I love you

  • Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
    Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
    And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

    Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
    Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff’s gigantic tail,
    Noble kings and princes would bow whene’er they came,
    Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

    A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
    Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
    One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
    And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

    His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
    Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
    Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
    So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,

    Too low to find my way
    Too high to wonder why
    I've touched this place before
    Somewhere in another time
    Now I can hear the sun
    The clouds drifting through the blinds
    A half a million thoughts
    Are flowing through my mind

    A satellite recalled your voice
    Sent me round the world again
    All the night you've dreamt away
    Sent me round my heart again
    One touch upon my lips
    And all my thoughts are clear
    I feel your smoky mist
    Up to the stratosfear

    Did you notify my way
    To hide a wonder why
    I've touched this place before,
    So we're in another time
    Now I can hear the sound
    The clouds drifting through the blidge
    A half a million thoughts
    Are flowing through my mind

    Did you notify my way
    To hide a wonder why
    I've touched this place before,
    So we're in another time
    Now I can hear the sound
    The clouds drifting through the blidge
    A half a million thoughts
    Are flowing through my mind
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
  • Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
    Inside sleeping, my heart beating
    You know that you tried to hide it
    Couldn't you have said what you meant? Oh...

    Time heals, time congeals around us
    Endless hours of wasted moments
    Understanding, not demanding
    Your eyes tell what you feel inside

    Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
    Inside sleeping, my heart beating
    You know that you tried to hide it
    Shouldn't you have said what you meant?

    YOU LIED!
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
    -Oscar Wilde
  • 'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
    When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
    I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
    I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
    In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
    Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
    Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
    Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
    Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
    With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
    She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
    I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
    Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
    But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
    And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
    And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
    Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
    I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
    I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
    Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
    If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
    "Come in," she said,
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
