U2~ Bullet the Blue Sky~ In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain From the firefly, a red orange glow See the face of fear running scared in the valley below Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Suit and tie comes up to me His face red Like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down, one hundred, two hundred, And I can see the fighter planes And I can see the fighter planes Across the mud huts as the children sleep Through the alleys of a quit city street Up the staircase to the first floor We turn the key and slowly unlock the door A man breathes deep into a saxophone Through the walls we hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America ~ Alanis Morissette~ You Oughta Know~ I want you to know that I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me Is she as perverted as me Would she go down on you in a theater? Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby I'm sure she would make a really excellent mother Cause the love that you gave that we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And everytime you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died 'til you died But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me of the cross I bare that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well, things look peaceful I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap on the face how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me when you fuck her Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me And I'm not going to fade As soon as you close your eyes and you know it And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it ...can you feel it? And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me of the cross I bare that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know why I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me of the cross I bare that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know ~ Pink Floyd~ Comfortably Numb~ Hello hello hello... Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home? Come on, now. I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again. Relax relax relax... I need some information first. Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'. When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I got that feeling once again. I can't explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. Ok ok ok... Just a little pinprick. <ping> There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working. Good. That'll keep you going for the show. Come on it's time to go. There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb. ~ Queensryche~ Empire~ Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown. Innocent, their only crime was Being in the wrong place at the wrong time Too bad, people say What's wrong with the kids today Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose They're building EMPIRE! Johnny used to work after school At the cinema show. Gotta hustle if he wants an education He's got a long way to go. Now he's out on the street all day Selling Crack to the people who pay. Got an AK-47 for his best friend Business the American way. Eastside meets Westside downtown. No time, the walls fall down Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE! Can't you hear it calling? Black man, trapped again. Hold his chain in his hand. Brother killing brother for the profit of another, Game point, nobody wins. Decline, right on time. What happened to the dream sublime? Tear it all down, we'll put it up again. Another EMPIRE? Eastside meets Westside downtown. No time, no line, the walls fall down. Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE! Can't you hear it coming EMPIRE! Can't someone here stop it...? ~ John Lennon~ Imagine~ Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one ~ U2~ I Still Haven't Found What I'm...~ I have climbed the highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run, I have crawled I have scaled these city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for. I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm as the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colours will bleed into one But yes I'm still running You broke the bonds You loosed the chains You carried the cross And my shame And my shame You know I believe it But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for ~ Morrissey~ Jack the Ripper~ Oh you look so tired Mouth slack and wide Ill-housed and ill-advised Your face is as mean as your life has been Crash into my arms I want you You don't agree but you don't refuse I know you And I know a place Where no one is likely to pass Oh you don't care it it's late And you don't care if you're lost And oh you look so tired But tonight you presume too much Too much.. too much And if it's the last thing I ever do Oh I'm gonna get you Crash into my arms I want you You don't agree but you don't refuse I know you Crash into my arms I want you You don't agree but you refuse I know you ~ Steve Miller Band~ The Joker~ Some people call me the space cowboy. Yea... Some call me the gangster of love. Some people call me Maurice. Cause I speak of the pompotous of love. People talk about me baby. Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong. Well you worry, baby, don't worry. Cause I'm right here, right here, Right here, right here at home. Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover, I'm a sinner. I play my music in the sun. I'm a joker, I'm a smoker. I'm midnight toker. I get my lovin' on the run. You're the cutest thing that I ever did see. I really love your peaches. Wanna shake your tree. Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time. Ohey, baby, I'll sure show you a good time. Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover, I'm a sinner. I play my music in the sun. I'm a joker, I'm a smoker. I'm midnight toker. Sure don't want to hurt no one. People keep talking about me, baby. Say I'm doing you wrong. Well you worry, don't worry, No don't worry mama. Cause I'm right here at home. You're the cutest thing that I ever did see. I really love your peaches. Wanna shake your tree. Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time. Come on baby. Show me a good time. ~ Pink Floyd~ One Of My Turns~ Oh my God, what a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars? This place is bigger than our apartment. Uh, could I have a drink of water? Ya want some? Huh? Oh wow! Look at this tub! Wanna take a bath? What're you watching? Hello? Are you feeling ok? Day after day, Our love turns gray, Like the skin on a dying man. And night after night, We pretend it's all right, But I have grown older, And you have grown colder, And nothing is very much fun, anymore. And I can feel, One of all my turns coming on. I feel, Cold as a razor blade, Tight as a tourniquet, Dry as a funeral drum. Run to the bedroom, In the suitcase on the left, You'll find my favorite axe. Don't look so frightened, This is just a passing phase, One of my bad days. Would you like to watch TV? Or get between the sheets? Or contemplate a silent freeway? Would you like something to eat? Would you like to learn to fly? -- Would ya? Would you like to see me try? Ooohh. No! Would you like to call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped? Why are you running away? ~ U2~ Red Hill Mining Town~ From father to son The blood runs thin Our faces frozen (still) against the wind The seam is split The coal face cracked The lines are long And there's no going back Through hands of steel And a heart of stone Our labour day has come and gone And you leave us holding on In Red Hill Town As the lights go down I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm holding on You're all that's left to hold on to The glass is cut The bottle run dry Our love runs cold In the caverns of the night We're wounded by fear Injured in doubt I can lose myself You I can't live without Because you keep me holding on In Red Hill Town as the lights go down I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm holding on You're all that's left to hold on to And we scorched the earth Set fire to the sky Stoop so low to reach so high A link is lost The chain undone Now we wait all day For the night to come And it comes And it comes Like a hunter (child) I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm hanging on We see love slowly stripped away Our love, has seen a better day I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to See the lights go down on Red Hill Town See light go down on Red Hill Town ~ Def Leppard~ Rock of Ages~ I've got something to say It's better to burn out, than fade away Rise up!

We're gonna burn this damn place down down to the ground ~ Queensryche~ Silent Lucidity~ Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize it and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I will be watching over you I am gonna help you see it through I will protect you in the night I am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity Visualize your dream Record it in the present tense Put it into a permanent form If you persist in your efforts You can achieve dream control Dream control How's that then, better? Hug me If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but... I will be watching over you I am gonna help to see it through I will protect you in the night I am smiling next to you.... ~ Guns 'N Roses~ Sweet Child O' Mine~ She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain To quietly pass me by Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine Where do we go Where do we go now Where do we go Sweet child o' mine ~ Guns 'N Roses~ Welcome to the Jungle~ Welcome to the jungle We've got fun 'n' games We got everything you want Honey, we know the names We are the people that can find Whatever you may need If you got the money, honey We got your disease In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your Knees, knees I wanna watch you bleed Welcome to the jungle We take it day by day If you want it you're gonna bleed But it's the price you pay And you're a very sexy girl That's very hard to please You can taste the bright lights But you won't get them for free In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Feel my, my, my serpentine I, I wanna hear you scream Welcome to the jungle It gets worse here everyday Ya learn ta live like an animal In the jungle where we play If you got a hunger for what you see You'll take it eventually You can have anything you want But you better not take it from me In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your Knees, knees I wanna watch you bleed And when you're high you never Ever want to come down, YEAH!

It's all I can do The cities a flood And our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind trampled in dust I'll show you a place High on a desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do ~ U2~ With or Without You~ See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Slight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait....without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing left to win And nothing else to lose With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you ~ Bryan Bowers~ The Scotsman~ Oh, Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair One could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share He staggered 'round until he could no longer keep his feet And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street Ring ding diddle iddle ah dee oh.. ring da diddlie aye oh.. He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts Ring ding diddle iddle ah dee oh.. ring da diddlie aye oh.. I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts. They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as can be Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt Was nothing more than god had graced him with upon his birth Ring ding diddle iddle ah dee oh.. ring da diddlie aye oh.. Was nothing more than god had graced him with upon his birth. They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show Ring ding diddle iddle ah dee oh.. ring da diddlie aye oh.. Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show. Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize! ~ Queen~ Another One Bites the Dust~ Steve walks warily down the street, With the brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, Machine guns ready to go Are you ready, Are you ready for this Are you hanging on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust How do you think I'm going to get along, Without you, when you're gone You took me for everything that I had, And kicked me out on my own Are you happy, are you satisfied How long can you stand the heat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man And bring him to the ground You can beat him You can cheat him You can treat him bad and then leave him when he's down But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip Repeating the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust ~ Alanis Morissette~ Pollyanna Flower~ Through you I see Between a broken nose and a fake smile Between the piety and gunpowder Between the fighting and fleeing the scene Between murder and diplomacy Between agression and end of the odd Between the brutal and realistically well behaved Between the screaming and pulling in the reins Between tiptoeing and ambling What am I to do with all this fire I'd like to hate you but I'd never hate you Why are you still with me in this red space I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you Between violence and silently seething Between my fists and my Pollyanna Flower Between fuck you in your face and its all right Between war and denial Between violence and silently seething Between my fists and my Pollyanna Flower Between fuck you to your face and its all right Between war and denial Between flying vases and secretly weeping Between loose cannons and ever downplaying Between the bruises and rudely differing Between bursting and boiling What am I to do with all this burning I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you Do I overwhelm you in this place I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you Between violence and silently seething Between my fists and my Pollyanna Flower Between fuck you to your face and it's all right Between war and denial Between violence and silently seething Between my fists and my Pollyanna Flower Between fuck you to your face and it's all right Between war and denial What am I to do with all this fire Can you understand me in this place? ~ Collective Soul~ Crowded Head~ All the words that I want to hear Are distorted by your weaknesses and fear And your lies that I push away I might accept them on your good self pity day All of your sadness is crowded in my head All of your madness is crowded in my head And the peace that I really need You substitute it for your policy of greed Still your pride always suffocates Any truth that your heart might want to make All of your sadness is crowded in my head All of your madness is crowded in my head With all your static I can't distinguish between what's being said I have no room for this You see I'm living with a crowded head And the path that I needed shown You left me stranded in the darkness all alone All the promises you fed to me I'm choking from their taste of cruelty All of your sadness is crowded in my head All of your madness is crowded in my head. ~ Sara Evans~ I could not ask for more~ Lying here with you Listening to the rain Smiling just to see the smile upon your face These are the moments I thank God that Im alive These are the moments Ill remember all my life I found all Ive waited for And I could not ask for more Looking in your eyes Seeing all I need Everything you are is everything to me These are the moments I know heaven must exist These are the moments I know all I need is this I have all I've waited for And I could not ask for more I could not ask for more than this time together I could not ask for more than this time with you Every prayer has been answered Every dream I has come true And right here in this moment is right where Im meant to be Here with you here with me These are the moments I thank God that Im alive These are the moments Ill remember all my life Ive got all Ive waited for And I could not ask for more ~ #
