    You follow your feelings, you follow your dreams
    You follow the leader into the trees
    And what's in there waiting, neither one of us knows
    You gotta keep one eye open the further you go
    You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now
    Who could have seen, you'd be so hard to please somehow
    You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home
    You're just a poor boy, a long way from home

    (Chorus)
    And it's wake up time
    Time to open your eyes
    And rise and shine

    You spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a trace
    You hang out forever and still miss the dance
    And if you get lucky, you might find someone
    To help you get over the pain that will come
    Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened
    You were so sure not to have your spirits dampened
    But you're just a poor boy alone in this world
    You're just a poor boy alone in this world

    (Chorus)

    Well, if he gets lucky, a boy finds a girl
    To help him to shoulder the pain in this world
    And if you follow your feelings
    And you follow your dreams
    You might find the forest there in the trees
    Yeah, you'll be alright, it's just gonna take time, but now
    Who could have seen you'd be so hard to please somehow
    You're just a poor boy alone in this world
    You're just a poor boy alone in this world

    (Chorus)

    'Cause it's wake up time
    It's time to open your eyes
    And rise and shine

    This song wakes up my spirit each morning :)

    When the music fades and all is stripped away
    And I simply come
    Longing just to bring something that's of worth
    That will bless Your heart

    I'll bring You more than a song
    For a song in itself
    Is not what You have required
    You search much deeper within
    Through the way things appear
    You're looking into my heart

    I'm coming back to the heart of worship
    And it's all about You
    All about You, Jesus
    I'm sorry, Lord, for the things I've made it
    When it's all about You
    All about You, Jesus

    King of endless worth, no one could express
    How much You deserve
    Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours
    Every single breath

    I'll bring You more than a song
    For a song in itself
    Is not what You have required
    You search much deeper within
    Through the way things appear
    You're looking into my heart

    I'm coming back to the heart of worship
    And it's all about You
    All about You, Jesus
    I'm sorry, Lord, for the things I've made it
    When it's all about You
    All about You, Jesus

    "Don't go there,"
    I heard her say.
    "You can't stomach what you're gonna see."
    It's down there by the waters edge,
    Wasted and bloated and waiting for someone else.

    Funny how,
    These things come about.
    When you're tied to the teeth and mouth,
    The sound of fury,
    A shot of pain.
    There was no real reason,
    No gain.

    I can't go down to the water's edge,
    I didn't do it,
    I saw who did.
    Don't go down to the waters edge,
    They did it once and they can do it again.

    It ain't no secret to me,
    How she got there down by the stream.
    Cause I'd seen her a minute before,
    The van pulled up and opened the door. (oh my love)

    I can't say a single word,
    About what I saw of her.
    Cause her killers,
    They got their friends,
    In familiar places,
    I tell you man!

    I can't go down to the water's edge,
    I didn't do it,
    I saw who did.
    Don't go down to the waters edge,
    They did it once and they can do it again.

    This ain't no fucking game.
    And I'm feeling so ashamed,
    Cause I didn't do anything.
    No I didn't do anything,
    -to stop,
    -to stop,
    -to stop,
    -to stop,
    This from,
    HAPPENING.
    I did not do,
    ANYTHING!

    Don't go down to the waters edge you said to me,
    I didn't do it but,
    I saw who did you see.
    Don't go down to the waters edge,
    They did it once and they can do it again.

    I swear,
    I swear,
    I swear,
    I swear,
    I didn't do a thing,
    I should have done something

    Seven Mary Three - Water's Edge
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
  • This is our last goodbye
    I hate to feel the love between us die.
    But it's over
    Just hear this and then I'll go:
    You gave me more to live for,
    More than you'll ever know.

    Well, this is our last embrace,
    Must I dream and always see your face?
    Why can't we overcome this wall?
    Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

    Kiss me, please kiss me
    But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
    Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
    I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

    Did you say "no, this can't happen to me"?
    And did you rush to the phone to call?
    Was a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying
    "maybe... you didn't know him at all,
    you didn't know him at all,
    oh, you didn't know"?

    Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
    Bruisin' clues into this heart of mine
    Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
    Offer signs that it's over... it's over...over...
    "No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead."

    And you believe what I say to be true

    This is the way God made me

    No self-reliance, no social skills
    You're confident and you express yourself so well
    Your learned degrees upon your wall
    I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball

    This is the way God made me
    This is the way God made me

    No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
    You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
    You're clean and I'm so ignorant
    I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame

    This is the way God made me
    This is the way (this is the way) God made me
    (I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)

    i think you feel the way i feel
    though you don't want to say
    i think you feel the way i feel
    though it's not the easy way

    wouldn't you like to be with me
    watching the snow come down
    watching the snow come down?

    i don't wanna cause you any pain
    i just wanna love you
    i don't wanna fuck up anything
    i just wanna love you
    i know you think i'm kind of strange
    i just wanna love you
    i just wanna love you

    everytime i see your face
    i can hardly breathe
    everytime i see your face
    i feel stupid and happy

    wouldn't you like to be with me
    watching the snow come down
    watching the snow come down?

    i don't wanna cause you any pain
    i'd like to give you the world
    i don't wanna fuck up anything
    i wanna be your girl
    i know you think i'm kind of strange
    but i just wanna love, i just wanna love
    i just wanna love you

    Come in from the cold,
    And wipe off the rain that bleeds into your bones

    Sit down by the fireside,
    I watch the flame dance in your eyes

    There’s a tear upon your shoulder,
    And a scar upon your soul,
    Do you fear you’re getting older,
    Does it bother you so?

    I’m out on my feet again,
    Is this love lost or found,
    I’m caught in your wires and beginning to tire, baby please...

    We’re silent for hours,
    The candles scream for their release

    Like crumbling towers,
    They melt into pools at your feet

    There’s a tear upon your shoulder,
    And a scar upon your soul,
    Do you fear you’re getting older,
    Does it bother you so?

    I’m out on my feet again,
    Is this love lost or found,
    I’m caught in your wires and beginning to tire, baby please...

    I’m not sorry, I’m not sorry...

    There’s a tear upon your shoulder,
    And a scar upon your soul,
    Do you fear you’re getting older,
    Does it bother you so?

    I’m out on my feet again,
    Is this love lost or found,
    This tale through the years trading smiles for my tears,
    The night is now lost, the sun now appears over the fields and through
    the towns,

    Baby please...

    I'm upper, upper class high society
    God's gift to ballroom notoriety
    And I always fill my ballroom
    The event is never small
    All the social papers say I've got the biggest balls of all

    I've got big balls
    I've got big balls
    And they're such big balls
    Dirty big balls
    And he's got big balls,
    And she's got big balls,
    But we've got the biggest balls of them all!

    And my balls are always bouncing
    My ballroom always full
    And everybody comes and comes again
    If your name is on the guest list
    No one can take you higher
    Everybody says I've got great balls of fire!

    Some balls are held for charity
    And some for fancy dress
    But when they're held for pleasure,
    They're the balls that I like best.
    And my balls are always bouncing,
    To the left and to the right.
    It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night.

    And I'm just itching to tell you about them
    Oh, we have such wonderful fun
    Seafood cocktail
    Crabs
    Crayfish

    If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
    You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
    The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
    I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
    The Ace Of Spades

    Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
    Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
    Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
    Double up or quit, double stake or split,
    The Ace Of Spades

    You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
    But that's the way I like it baby,
    I don't wanna live for ever,
    And don't forget the joker!

    Pushing up the ante, I know you wanna see me,
    Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
    I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
    The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
    The Ace Of Spades

    Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
    Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
    Strawberry Fields forever

    Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see
    It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me
    Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
    Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
    Strawberry Fields forever

    No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low
    That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad

    Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
    Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
    Strawberry Fields forever

    Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream
    I think I know I mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree

    Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
    Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
    Strawberry Fields forever
    Strawberry Fields forever
    Strawberry Fields forever

    You look like an angel
    Walk like an angel
    Talk like an angel
    But I got wise
    You’re the devil in disguise
    Oh yes you are
    The devil in disguise

    You fooled me with your kisses
    You cheated and you schemed
    Heaven knows how you lied to me
    You’re not the way you seemed

    You look like an angel
    Walk like an angel
    Talk like an angel
    But I got wise

    You’re the devil in disguise
    Oh yes you are
    The devil in disguise

    I thought that I was in heaven
    But I was sure surprised
    Heaven help me, I didn’t see
    The devil in your eyes

    You look like an angel
    Walk like an angel
    Talk like an angel

    But I got wise
    You’re the devil in disguise
    Oh yes you are

    Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
    I'm exposed
    And it's no big surprise
    Don't you think I know
    Exactly where I stand
    This world is forcing me
    To hold your hand
    'Cause I'm just a girl, little 'ol me
    Don't let me out of your sight
    I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
    So don't let me have any rights

    Oh...I've had it up to here!
    The moment that I step outside
    So many reasons
    For me to run and hide
    I can't do the little things I hold so dear
    'Cause it's all those little things
    That I fear

    'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be
    'Cause they won't let me drive
    Late at night I'm just a girl,
    Guess I'm some kind of freak
    'Cause they all sit and stare
    With their eyes

    I'm just a girl,
    Take a good look at me
    Just your typical prototype

    Oh...I've had it up to here!
    Oh...am I making myself clear?
    I'm just a girl
    I'm just a girl in the world...
    That's all that you'll let me be!
    I'm just a girl, living in captivity
    Your rule of thumb
    Makes me worry some

    I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
    What I've succumbed to Is making me numb
    I'm just a girl, my apologies
    What I've become is so burdensome
    I'm just a girl, lucky me
    Twiddle-dum there's no comparison

    Oh...I've had it up to!
    Oh...I've had it up to!!
    Oh...I've had it up to here!

    Took a look down a westbound road,
    Right away I made my choice
    Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
    I was tired of my own voice
    Took a bead on the northern plains
    And just rolled that power on

    Twelve hours out of mackinaw city
    Stopped in a bar to have a brew
    Met a girl and we had a few drinks
    And I told her what I’d decided to do
    She looked out the window a long long moment
    Then she looked into my eyes
    She didn’t have to say a thing,
    I knew what she was thinkin’

    Roll, roll me away,
    Won’t you roll me away tonight
    I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
    And I’m sick of what’s wrong and what’s right
    We never even said a word,
    We just walked out and got on that bike
    And we rolled
    And we rolled clean out of sight

    We rolled across the high plains
    Deep into the mountains
    Felt so good to me
    Finally feelin’ free

    Somewhere along a high road
    The air began to turn cold
    She said she missed her home
    I headed on alone

    Stood alone on a mountain top,
    Starin’ out at the great divide
    I could go east, I could go west,
    It was all up to me to decide
    Just then I saw a young hawk flyin’
    And my soul began to rise
    And pretty soon
    My heart was singin’

    Roll, roll me away,
    I’m gonna roll me away tonight
    Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin’,
    Keep searchin’ till I find what’s right
    And as the sunset faded
    I spoke to the faintest first starlight
    And I said next time
    Next time
    We’ll get it right
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...

    She sits alone by a lamppost
    Trying to find a thought that’s escaped her mind
    She says dad’s the one I love the most
    But stipe’s not far behind

    She never lets me in
    Only tell me where’s she’s been
    When she’s had too much to drink
    I say that I don’t care I just run my hands
    Through her dark hair and then I pray to god
    You gotta help me fly away

    And just...
    Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
    Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
    Let her go...let her walk right out on me
    And if the sun comes up tomorrow
    Let her be...let her be.

    This morning I woke up alone
    Found a note by the phone
    Saying maybe, maybe I’ll be back some day
    I wanted to look for you
    You walked in I didn’t know just what I should do
    So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for
    Myself.

    Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
    Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
    Let her go...let her walk right out on me
    And if the sun comes up tomorrow
    Let her be...let her be.

    Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
    Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
    Let her go...let her walk right out on me
    And if the sun comes up tomorrow
    Let her be...let her be.

    Last night I tried to leave
    Cried so much I just
    Could not believe
    She was the same girl i
    Fell in love with long ago
    She went in the back to
    Get high
    I sat down on my couch
    And cried
    Yelling oh mama please
    Help me
    Won’t you hold my hand.

    And
    Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
    Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
    Let her go...let her walk right out on me
    And if the sun comes up tomorrow
    Let her be...let her be.

    We can dance if we want to
    We can leave your friends behind
    'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

    And I can act like an imbecile

    I got my head checked
    By a jumbo jet
    It wasn’t easy
    But nothing is, no

    When I feel heavy metal
    And I’m pins and I’m needles
    Well I lie and I’m easy
    All of the time but I’m never sure when I need you
    Pleased to meet you

    I got my head done
    When I was young
    It’s not my problem
    It’s not my problem

    When I feel heavy metal
    And I’m pins and I’m needles
    Well I lie and I’m easy
    All of the time but I’m never sure when I need you
    Pleased to meet you

    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Oh, yeah
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...

    So this ain’t the end -
    I saw you again today
    I had to turn my heart away
    Smiled like the sun -
    Kisses for real
    And tales - it never fails!

    You lying so low in the weeds
    I bet you gonna ambush me
    You’d have me down down down down on my knees
    Now wouldn’t you, barracuda?

    Back over time we were all
    Trying for free
    You met the porpoise and me
    No right no wrong, selling a song-
    A name, whisper game.

    If the real thing don’t do the trick
    You better make up something quick
    You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
    Ooooooh, barracuda?

    Sell me sell you the porpoise said
    Dive down deep down to save my head
    You...i think you got the blues too.

    All that night and all the next
    Swam without looking back
    Made for the western pools - silly fools!

    If the real thing don’t do the trick
    No, you better make up something quick
    You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
    Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
