    Concrete Jungle

    No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
    The high yellow moon won't come out to play:
    (that high yellow moon won't come out to play)
    I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
    (and the stage) And has changed my day into night, yeah.
    Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
    Won't someone tell me?
    'Cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found -
    (must be somewhere for me)
    Instead of concrete jungle (jungle!)
    Where the living is harder (concrete, jungle!).

    Concrete jungle (jungle!):
    Man you got to do your (concrete, jungle!) best. Wo-ooh, yeah.

    No chains around my feet,
    But I'm not free, oh-ooh!
    I know I am bound here in captivity;
    G'yeah, now - (never, know) I've never known happiness;
    (never, know) I've never known what sweet caress is -
    Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown;
    Won't someone help me? 'Cause I (sweet life) -
    I've got to pick myself from off the ground
    (must be somewhere for me), he-yeah! -
    In this a concrete jungle (jungle!):
    I said, what do you got for me (concrete, jungle!) now, o-oh!
    Concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah, won't you let me be (concrete, jungle!), now.
    Hey! Oh, now!
    I said that life (sweet life) - it must be somewhere to be found
    (must be somewhere for me)
    Oh, instead of concrete jungle (jungle!) - illusion (concrete, jungle!) -
    confusion (confusion). (concrete, jungle!) Eh!

    Concrete jungle (jungle!): baby, you've got it in.
    Concrete jungle (concrete,jungle!), now. Eh!
    Concrete jungle (jungle!).

    What do you got for me (concrete,jungle!), now?

    Peace

    You moved like honey in my dream last night
    Yeah, some old fires were burning
    You came near to me and you endeared to me
    But you couldn't quite discern me

    Does that scare you ? I'll let you run away
    But your heart will not oblige you
    You'll remember me like a melody
    Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you

    And my big secret, gonna win you over
    Slow like honey, heavy with mood

    I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
    I'll invade your demeanor
    And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
    And you'll wonder what it is about me

    It's my big secret, keeping you coming
    Slow like honey, heavy with mood

    Though dreams can be deceiving
    Like faces are to hearts
    They serve for sweet relieving
    When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

    So I stretch myself across like a bridge
    And I pull you to the edge

    And stand there waiting
    Trying to attain
    The end to satisfy the story
    Shall I release you?
    Must I release you?
    As I rise to meet my glory

    But my big secret
    Gonna hover over your life
    Gonna keep you reaching
    When I'm gone like yesterday
    When I'm high like heaven
    When I'm strong like music
    'Cause I'm slow like honey, and heavy with mood
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    I knew a girl
    Her name was truth
    She was a horrible liar
    She couldnt spend one day alone
    But she couldnt be satisfied
    When you have everything
    You have everything to lose
    She made herself a bed of nails
    And shes planning on putting it to use
    But she had diamonds on the inside
    She had diamonds on the inside
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    Out of the ruins
    Out from the wreckage
    Can't make the same mistake this time
    We are the children
    The last generation
    We are the ones they left behind
    And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
    Living under the fear till nothing else remains

    When you're so lonely lying in bed
    Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
    Everyone's sleeping all through the house
    You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    And if you are waiting, waiting for me
    Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
    I'll be home Sunday just in one week
    Dry up your tears if you start to weep
    And sing this lullaby to yourself
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    Lullaby, I'm not nearby
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    Don't you cry, no don't you cry
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
    No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
    It ain't the first time it won't be the last
    Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
    So when you're so lonely lying in bed
    Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
    Everyone's sleeping all through the house
    You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
    Sing this lullaby to yourself
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    I will wait like nothing
    I have ever waited for
    I will catch your tears from falling
    Until from my hands they fall
    You can leave me abandoned
    I'll be here if you want back in
    Like the rest I have been branded
    Far beneath the skin
    So far beneath the skin

    You shall be
    You shall be
    You shall be forgiven
    You shall be
    You shall be
    You shall be forgiven

    Here I have been standing
    While the time has come and gone
    I tried singing to you
    But you turned my words to stone
    Here I have been waiting
    It seems for quite a while
    Changed all my reflections
    But inside I'm still just a child
    But inside still just a child

    You shall be
    You shall be
    You shall be forgiven
    You shall be
    You shall be
    You shall be forgiven

    These eyes weren't made for crying
    This love wasn't made to waste
    These arms weren't made for battle
    But to share your warm embrace
    But to share your warm embrace

    You shall be
    You shall be
    You shall be forgiven
    You shall be
    You shall be
    You shall be forgiven
    You shall be
    You shall be
    You shall be forgiven
    You shall be
    You shall be
    You... forgiven

    Fade To Black

    Life it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further every day
    Getting lost within myself
    Nothing matters no one else
    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free

    Things are not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly lost, this can't be real
    Cannot stand this hell I feel
    Emptiness is filing me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness taking dawn
    I was me, but now He's gone

    No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
    Now I can't think, think why I should even try
    Yesterday seems as though it never existed
    Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye


    Metallica wrote this after their equipment was stolen in early '84 and they had to start all over again. More specifically, James Hetfield wrote the lyrics in response to one of his amps being stolen. Not only was this amp his favorite, but it was also the first amp he ever owned so it had a lot of sentimental value to him. The song is about losing everything and wondering if it is worth going on.

    I've been there when it appeared I lost everything.

    Peace

    Rural Alberta Advantage- Frank,AB

    I'll hold ..... I'll hold on to your touch
    'til they find the bones of us
    .... save you from this life

    And under the rubble of the mountain that tumbled
    I'll hold you forever
    I'll hold you forever

    They'll build up another on the bodies of our brothers
    I'll love you forever

    that is the last minute of the song sung mostly a cappella. Very good stuff.

    Michael Franti & Spearhead...Say Hey I Love You scene from HBO's *WEEDS*

    This one goes out to you and yours
    worldwide
    I say hey I'll be gone today
    But I'll be back all around the way
    It seems like everywhere I go
    The more I see
    the less I know
    But I know one thing
    That I love you
    I love you
    I love you
    I love you

    I’ve been a lot of places all around the way
    I’ve seen a lot joy and I’ve seen a lot of pain
    but I don’t want to write a love song for the world,
    I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
    Junkies on the corner always calling my name
    And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
    When I saw you getting down well I hoped it was you
    And when I looked into your eyes I knew it was true
    I say Hey I'll be gone today
    But I'll be back all around the way
    It seems like everywhere I go
    The more I see
    the less I know
    But I know one thing
    That I love you
    I love you
    I love you
    I love you

    Now I’m not a highly metaphysical man
    But I know when the stars are aligned you can
    bump into person in the middle of the road
    look into their eyes and you suddenly know
    Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
    Dancing in the night in the middle of June
    My momma told me don’t lose you
    ‘cause the best luck I had was you
    I said Hey I'll be gone today
    But I'll be back all around the way
    It seems like everywhere I go
    The more I see the less I know
    But I know one thing
    That I love you
    I love you
    I love you
    I love you

    And I said rocking in the dance hall moving with you
    I said Hey momma hey momma close to you
    Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
    I said hey papa, hey papa close to you
    Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
    I said Hey Momma close to you
    Rocking in the dance hall moving with you I said
    hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
    hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
    what you gonna do?

    My momma told me don’t lose you
    Cause the best luck I had was you
    And I know one thing that I love you
    I said I'll be gone today
    but I’ll be back all around the way
    It seems like everywhere I go
    The more I see the less I know
    I said I'll be gone today
    but I’ll be back all around the way
    It seems like everywhere I go
    The more I see the less I know
    But I know one thing that I love you
    I love you (3x)
    I love you (3x)
    I love you (3x)

    Armagideon Time

    I stayed around don't played around
    This old town too long
    Seems like I got to
    Travel on

    A lotta people won't get no supper tonight
    A lotta people won't get no justice tonight
    The battle is getting harder
    In this iration, Armagideon time


    A lotta people runnning and hiding tonight, ah
    A lotta people won't get no justice tonight
    Remember to kick it over
    No one will guide you, Armagideon time

    Junior Byles...FADE AWAY

    He who seeks of only vanity
    And no love for humanity
    Shall fade away, fade away.

    He who checks for only wealth
    And not for his physical health
    Shall fade away, fade away.

    Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
    And feel like they're on top of the world,
    They shall fade away, hear what I say.

    The rich is getting richer every day,
    And the little that the poor man got it shall be
    taken away.
    Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say.

    The man who worships silver and gold
    Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul,
    Then fade away.

    The one who's always acting smart
    And don't carry no love in his heart
    Shall fade away.

    God is here and there and everywhere
    And he knows when you play the game unfair,
    So people beware, or else you fade away!
    Hey! Beware, or dare you fade away.
    You've gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now.

    The rich is getting richer every day,
    And the little that the poor man got it shall be
    taken away.
    Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say.

    The one who's always acting smart
    And forgetting to carry love in his heart
    Shall fade away.

    God is here and there and everywhere
    And his eyes, his eyes are watching you,
    You're gonna fade away, yeah, yeah,
    You're goin' to fade, fade, fade, fade away...
    Fade away... Yeah, yeah... !

    'Days are getting long now
    Open all the windows
    And leave it all behind me

    I've come a long, long way
    But I don't know what's worse
    This time in the morning
    Or laying here in the evening light

    I'll be fine

    Seven hours later
    I can feel my poor heart break'

    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)

    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)
    Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition

    From Genesis to Revelation yeah
    And next generation will be hear me

    All the peacemakers turn war officers
