"I've Loved You Before"

I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice.
When your smile can be so soothing,
a familiar paradise.
When there's no one else that makes me whole.
I'm never wanting more
I get this feeling that I have loved you before

We were lovers in an army,
marching off for Rome.
Were we side by side in battle,
did we bravely leave our home?
Did I hold you in my arms,
as you were taking your last breath?
Did I shout to all the gods,
that I would love you beyond death?
I swear I've loved you before.

Did we hide in the dark ages,
from a vengeful god above?
Were our names too unfamiliar,
to ever speak of love?
Did I cling to every moment with you,
every parting glance?
An accidental touch,
did we ever take the chance?
I know I've loved you before.

Have I wandered through the desert?
Have I looked at the North Star?
Have I rode the days and nights on rails,
to get back where you are?
And every time I found you,
it's your eyes I know for sure.

When I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice.
When your smile can be so soothing,
a familiar paradise.
When there's no one else that makes me whole.
I'm never needing more.
I get this feeling.
I know I've loved you before.

I know I've loved you before.


I've loved you before.

Chasing Cars ~ Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Right now I have two. Can't Smile Without You and Sleigh Ride. Can't smile without you because of HellBoy 2 and Sleigh ride because it drives my cousin nuts. He hates that particular carol, so I sing right through Christmas to bug him. I'm so mean.

The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie/Nirvana

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me, I never lost control
You're face to face with The Man Who Sold The World


I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
Who knows? Not me, we never lost control
You're face to face with the Man who Sold the World

Oh no, not me, I never lost control
You're face to face with The Man Who Sold The World

This will be a 2fer (provided IE will let me post this w/o crashing on me), since I've had both of these songs stuck in my head tonight

"Screamin' for More" - Dangerous Toys

Like a high flyer, I am reachin' for the stars
Stumble over clouds in the way, I've never tried so hard
With a voice inside my head askin' are you the one
Does an angel fly for answers, can the eagle just fly for fun

Can't you tell me what you're thinkin', can't you see me
Comin' back for more
If you want me, come and get me
Can't you hear me screamin' for more

A million dollars, a house on the hill
A girl that looks like you
Just ain't enough to prey for as I look into this empty room
Seems all I have to do is wrap my wings around the sun
I'll keep on screaming your name, until you call I dream you're the one


Can't you tell me what you're thinkin', can't you see me
Comin' back for more
If you want me, come and get me
Can't you hear me screamin' for more

I've had to ask myself, plenty of times
Do I really want to see this tru
But the look on your face before you turned away from me
Told me it had to be true
Can't you tell me what you're thinkin', can't you see me
Comin' back for more
If you want me, come and get me
Can't you hear me screamin' for more


"Lucky" - Bif Naked
It was a Monday, when my lover told me,
"Never pay the reaper with love only.
What could I say to you, except, "I love you"
and "I'd give my life for yours".

I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones, dear

The first time we made love I I wasn't sober
and you told me you love me over and over
how can i ever love another
when i miss you everday

Remember the time we made love in the roses?
and you took my picture in all sorts of poses
how could I ever get over you, when I'd give my life for yours

I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones, dear

My dear,
It's time to say I thank God for you.
I thank God for you, in each and every single way.
And, I know(I know)..I know(I know)..I know(I know)..
I know(I know)..
It's time to let you know.
Time to let you know.
Time to let you know.
Time to sit here and say:

I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones, dear, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear...
We are the lucky ones, dear.
We are the lucky ones, dear.

Moon River

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

23:59 End of the World

23:59
End of the world
Central European Time
A central European girl

Too scared to love
Unprepared for love
She trips and falls down the stairs for love
Like a princess bride
With an all over bruise
She tries so hard to hide
With make-up and shoes

Too scared to love
Unprepared for love
She trips and falls down the stairs for love

23:59
End of the world

Release the tic-a-tape
Put the candles on the cake
I'll tell the Boys Brigade
To learn the songs from the hit parade
Say it loud and say it proud
All the drinks are on the house
Let the coloured flags unfurl
For a central European girl
Too scared
For love

"Believe" - Savatage

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
One your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't got
Without a home
Aheart of stone
Lies bleeding


And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for allthe fears youhad to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is

Believe

shadowsfate 12-15-2008 09:49 AM

It's been one of my favorite songs since the first time I heard it. And as I recall, I was listening to the song the night my son was born. (And, apparently great minds think alike, that was the exact vid I was watching/listening to when I was typing in the lyrics :roflmao:)

shadowsfate 12-15-2008 10:00 AM

Oh, and I think it may be one of me son's least favorite song, due to the fact every time I play it, he has to put up with my attempts to sing it :roflmao:

scotzoidman 12-15-2008 04:32 PM

ask the lonely
 
Just ask the lonely

When you feel that you can make it all alone,
Remember no one is thinking of going alone

Just ask the lonely...
They know the hurt and pain,
Of losing a love you can never regain

Just ask the lonely

The young and foolish laugh at love
So they run away...
Confident and sure that fate
Will bring another love their way

But ask the lonely....
How vainly a heart can yearn,
For losing a love that will never return

Just ask the lonely....
They'll tell you...

They'll tell you a story of sadness,
A story too hard to believe...

They'll tell you the loneliest one is me

Just ask the lonely
Ask me...
I'm the loneliest one you'll see
Just ask the lonely

"Leave the Past Behind" - Fates Warning

And here we are again the door is closed behind us
And the long road lies ahead
Where do we go from here

It's time to make a change
Lets trace the problem to its source
No more riding the waves
On a river that's run its course

I stood at the door to a new beginning
Two choices before me and I was afraid

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Bury your pride and say goodbye
Leave the past behind

Tied to a fading memory
Of something lost in time
Afraid to make the change
Scared to leave the past behind

I stood at the door to a new beginning
The future called and frightened I turned away

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Close your eyes, forget the fear
Leave the past behind

We stand at the door to a new beginning
Two choices before us don't be afraid

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Close your eyes, forget the fear
Leave the past behind

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Close your eyes, forget the fear
Leave the past behind

Cemetary Gate - Pantera

Reverend reverend is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
An image beneath me
Whats within our plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man cut in half in this world
Left in my misery...

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
It's nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)

Well I guess
You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
All alone as the
Memories now unfold.

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates

Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last

Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain

The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates

Gotta Be Somebody - Nickelback

This time
I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough

So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen

So I'll be holdin' my breath
Right up 'til the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with!

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight
Out on the street, out in the moonlight
And, damn it, this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standin' here with you

So I'll be holdin' my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Ooh! You can't give up
When you're lookin' for a diamond in the rough
Because you'll never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh!

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Thanks for that one, FlirtWithMe. I'm a fan of Nickelback, but I haven't kept up with them. I think that is actually the first song I've heard from the new album.And I still haven't heard a song of theirs that I didn't like :thumbs:

Lilith 12-22-2008 10:44 AM

Here is a dirty little song from them that I heard yesterday VIDEO Link
Nickelback - Something in Your Mouth

got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
they say it’s over budget but you’d pay her just to touch it come on
needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
if Hollywood had called her she’d be gone before you holler come on

pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
every sugar daddy hit’n on her all night long
doesn’t care about the money she could be with anybody
ain’t it funny how the honey wanted you all along

(you naughty thing)
you’re rip’n up the dance floor honey
(you naughty women)
you shake your ass around for everyone
(you’re such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(the way you swing)
and tease them all by sucking on your thumb
you’re so much cooler when you never pull it out
’cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

crafty little lip tricks
tattoos on her left hip
she’s bending as you’re spending
there’s no end to it so baby come on…
dressed up like a princess
bet’n that her skin smells
better than the scent of every flower in the desert come on

pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
every sugar daddy hit’n on her all night long
doesn’t care about the money she could be with anybody
ain’t it funny how the honey wanted you all along

(you naughty thing)
you’re rip’n up the dance floor honey
(you naughty women)
you shake your ass around for everyone
(you’re such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(the way you swing)
and tease them all by sucking on your thumb
you’re so much cooler when you never pull it out
’cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

she loves the night scene, bar queen, is living for the fun
taking over every dance floor like she’s the only one
in the spotlight all night diss’n everyone
and try’n to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb

(you’re so much cooler)
when you never pull it out
(you’re so much cuter)
with something in your mouth

(you naughty thing)
you’re rip’n up the dance floor honey
(you naughty women)
you shake your ass around for everyone
(you’re such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(the way you swing)
and tease them all by sucking on your thumb

(you naughty thing)
you’re rip’n up the dance floor honey

you shake your ass around for everyone

Thanks, Lilith, for that one. Based on the last two songs posted, I may have to see if I can talk "Santa" into leaving me a copy of Nickelback's new album :lol:

shadowsfate 12-22-2008 10:59 AM

OK, here's one that took me a while to find the words for. None of the sites I usually use had a copy of the lyrics or even heard of the band. It was a song (and band) introduced to me a long time ago (ok, only 18 years ago, but to my kids, that's a long time ago :roflmao:) by a friend that I've since lost touch with, unfortunately. No promises on if the link will still work, as I had to dig hard for it (found it via the band's MySpace page). And it is a live version of the song, and not nearly as good a version as I hoped to find.

"Heart of Gold" - Sweet F.A.

http://www.youtube.com/v/Vbh12HLj9kY&rel=1

What'cha gonna do when the well runs dry, baby?
Sit on the bank and cry, cry, cry.

What'ca gonna do when all your dreams crumble as they must,
when you realize your name is written in the dust.

I know just how you feel,
I know the pain you feel inside is real,
It's breaking your heart of gold
Oh baby, it's breaking your heart of gold

Stare into your crystal ball, what do you see?
Are the lights so bright, your eyes so blind you've closed the book on me
Everything you're after has been locked behind the door,
Lost without the key, won't be needing any more

I know just how you feel,
I know the pain you feel inside is real,
It's breaking your heart of gold
Oh baby, it's breaking your heart of gold
OOOOO, it can make the world so cold
Oh baby, it's breaking your heart of gold

Step by step, so many times, you just can't win
So you take what you can get before this story ends,
Babe, begin again

I know just how it feels,
I knows the pain that you feel inside is real
It's breaking your heart of gold
Oh baby, it's breaking your heart of gold
OOOOO, it can make the world so cold
Oh baby, it's breaking your heart of gold
OOOOO, now it's breaking your heart of gold
Oh baby, it's breaking your heart of gold
OOOOOO, now it's breaking your heart of gold
OOOO, it's breaking your heart

What'cha gonna do when the well runs dry, baby?
Sit on the bank and cry, cry, cry.

I've been in the Christmas mood and been singing both White Christmas and Walkin' 'Round in Women's underwear.

White Christmas

walkin round in women's underwear

White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white

Truly Madly Deeply - Savage Garden

(Yes, I do have a story related to this song, but it is one that always brings me down when I tell it, so I'll refrain from putting it an open forum)

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cos I'm counting on A new beginning.
A reason for living. A deeper meaning.
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of..
The highest power. In lonely hours. The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...
(BRIDGE)
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes 'cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...

I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do...
(CHORUS)
[repeat until fade]
I want to stand with you on a mountain....

Why Can't I Be You?

You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins
You're so perfect you're so right as rain
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles
Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

Another one...
 
Just Like Heaven

"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

It being Christmas, and me feeling a bit sentimental, I thought I'd thow up this song (and, no, it wasn't meant to play on the title of FWM's post, purely coincidence, lol)

Heaven - Warrant

Got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded
And it's looking pretty worn

See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back
The memories are grey
but man they're really coming back

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say

How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like a blue suburban sky

When I come home late at night
And your in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe

I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

CHORUS
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what you friends might say
We'll find a way (Yeah!)

Now the lights are going out
Along the boulevard
The memories come rushing back
And it makes it pretty hard

I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you

CHORUS

The Divine Comedy
 
Mastermind <<--- Listen here

Every pupil in the classroom will answer the same if you ask them
Every mouth shout the message out as one
Every girl weeps like the willow
Every boy cries into his pillow
Every tear disappears in the morning sun

You don't need an indie song to figure out what's going on
Tell me that I'm normal and tell me that I'm sane

And tell me that you feel this too
All the dreams that we have had are gonna prove that we're not mad to you

Every nose is a vacuum cleaner in the loved-up London arena
Every eye flies a dollar sign for me
Every tongue will wag if you want it
Every lung has a shadow on it
Every heart comes apart at the seams

You don't need a mastermind to read between the long white lines
Tell me that I'm normal and tell me that I'm sane

And tell me that you feel this too
All the dreams that we have had are gonna prove that we're not mad to you

Well we all need reassurance as we play life's game of endurance
Like a nice cup of tea or a cigarette

But don't lean too long on your crutches
Or you'll fall straight into the clutches
Of those who see free expression as a threat

You don't need a law degree to set your mind and spirit free
So tell me what the hell is normal and who the hell is sane
And why the hell care anyway?
All the dreams that we have had are gonna prove that we're all mad and that's OK

Hell Hath No Fury ...
 
Vengeance!

PAMINA
waking
Mother! Oh my mother ...

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
Where is the young man I sent you?

PAMINA
Tamino has withdrawn for ever from the world and people. He has gone over to Sarastro!

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
What do I hear? Sarastro has triumphed again. Do you see this blade? It has been sharpened for Sarastro, and you will kill him!


QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
My heart is seething with hellish vengeance,
death and despair are blazing around me!
Unless Sarastro feels the pangs of death at your hands
you are no longer my daughter.
Forever disowned, forever abandoned,
forever destroyed may all ties of nature be,
unless Sarastro dies at your hands!
Hear! Gods of vengeance! Hear a mother's vow!

She gives Pamina the dagger and disappears.

PAMINA
holding the dagger
Am I to commit murder? - No, I cannot! - Gods, what am I to do?

MONOSTATOS
coming out of hiding
Put your trust in me!

I like the Magic Flute, but jseal, surely it has to be,

Nobody shall sleep!...
Nobody shall sleep!
Even you, o Princess,
in your cold room,
watch the stars,
that tremble with love and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
my name no one shall know...
No!...No!...
On your mouth I will tell it when the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!...
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!

One of the mose beautiful pieces of music ever written, Nessun dorma.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight
To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh darling, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

Rise - The Cult

You are the sun, I am the flame
You are the blood, I am the same
We are the love that rises again
They are the snake that bites on your veins

We are not chained to the wheel

You are the tear, I have no fear
You are so strange, I feel the same
Sorcerous mind, we ride again

We are not chained to the wheel, to the wheel

It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
You got wings upon your back and you can fly

It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
'Cause you're up against the world and still you rise
And still you rise

You are alive and high in my dreams
You are the stars that mystify me
And you are the wolf that frightens the thief
And you are the voice that they disbelieve

We are not chained to the wheel

And you are the spark that sets us all free

We are not chained to the wheel, to the wheel

It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
You got wings upon your back and you can fly

It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
'Cause you're up against the world and still you rise
And still you rise

Whoa, baby

It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
You got wings upon your back and you can fly

It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
'Cause you're up against the world and still you rise
And still you rise
Still you rise
Still you rise

Any Man Of Mine - Shania Twain <<--- click to listen

This is what a woman wants...
Any man of mine better be proud of me
Even when I'm ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date that's fine
But he better be on time

Any man of mine'll say it fits just right
When last year's dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
When I have a bad hair day

And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah I like that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another woman's lookin' better than me
And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
He better say, mmmm, I like it like that

And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

Let me hear you say yeah, (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

You gotta shimmy shake
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, Do Si Do
'Til your boots wanna break
'Til your feet and your back ache
Keep it movin' 'til you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup two, hup
If you wanna be a man of mine, that's right
This is what a woman wants...

Whipping Post

I been run down
Lord, I been lied to
And I don't know why
I let that mean woman make out a fool
She took all my money
Wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good-time buddies,
Drinkin' in some cross-town bar
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
My friends tell me
That I been such a fool
But I got to stand there an' take it
All for loving you
Drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you done
Nothin' seems to change;
That bad times stay the same,
And I can't run
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

Bitter Pill - Warrant

Sometimes I'm lost
And then I'm found
Sometimes I feel
Turned inside out
I'm often silent when I'm screaming inside
Instead of love
We tend to hate
We never quite
Appreciate
How much the other person cares or tries
Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
Cause I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why
Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill
And when I'm right
I'm also wrong
We give and take
To get along
There's so much more to this than I ever dreamed
And when you smile
I have to laugh
And when you cry
I'm torn in half
So calm and yet so loose at the seams
Oh
Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why
Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill
Liebe kann eine bittere pille sein
Eine bittere pille
Liebe ist eine bittere pille
Eine bittere pille
Liebe kann eine bittere pille sein
Ich will ein bier
Ich will besoffen sein
Die ganze welt ist dumm
Mir steht es so im hals
Ich sage dir
Die liebe kann nur luge sein
Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
Cause I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why
Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill
Or a bitter pill

Love you Dad, this one's for you...
 
Tank Park Salute : Billy Bragg

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers
Leave the light on at the top of the stairs
Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
A tree taps on the window pane
That feeling smothers me again
Daddy is it true that we all have to die?

At the top of the stairs
Is darkness
At the top of the stairs
Is darkness

I closed my eyes and when I looked
Your name was in the memorial book
And what had become of all the things we planned
I accepted the commiserations
Of all your friends and your relations
But there's some things I still don't understand

You were so tall
How could you fall?

Some photographs of a summer's day
A little boy's lifetime away
Is all I've left of everything we've done
Like a pale moon in a sunny sky
Death gazes down as I pass by
To remind me that I'm but my father's son

I offer up to you
This tribute
I offer up to you
This tank park salute

I Walk Alone - Oleander

i can't take this anymore
and i'm almost pretty sure
i've been here before
i can't take this any longer
i won't heal until i'm stronger
strong enough to not be afraid
of what anybody thinks
of what anybody says
about the way
about the way i am
so i'll wait until the day
when those feelings fade away
then i'll make my break
i can't take this anymore
and i'm almost pretty sure
i've been here before
i can't take this any longer
i won't heal until i'm stronger
strong enough to not be afraid
so i leave it up to you
yeah i leave it in your hands
respect your wishes and your demands
but if it was up to me
honey we'd already be back at home
and living out our dreams
living out
everbody and everything i've known
never taught me how to stand up on my own
had to learn it from the one who let me go
now i walk alone, yeah i walk alone, yeah
living blissfully
i guess you had to step away
to make me want to be
a bigger man, a bigger man than that
i need you by my side
as i take it all in stride
I put away, i put away my pride
oh i leave it up to you
yeah i leave it in your hands
respect your wishes and your demands
but if it was up to me
honey we'd already be back at home
and living out?
everbody and everything i've known
never taught me how to stand up on my own
had to learn it from the one who let me go
now i walk alone
yeah I walk alone, yeah
i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk, oh yeah

A Song For You Leon Russell

I've been so many places in my life and time,
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme,
I've acted out my life in stages,
with ten thousand people watching,
but we're alone now, and I'm singing this song for you.

I know your image of me is what I hope to be,
I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see,
there's no one more important to me,
baby can't you please see through me,
cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you.

You taught me precious secrets
of the truth withholding nothing,
you came out in front when I was hiding,
but now I'm so much better,
and if my words don't come together,
listen to the melody, cause my love is in there hiding...

I love you in a place where there's no space or time,
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine,
and when my life is over,
remember when we were together,
we were alone and I was singing this song for you.

We were alone and I was singing this song for you.

This followed the times of my striving to be free & unhindered with my lovely bride & our dreams to dream & our lives to live in love & the rewards of our toils for new prosperous days:


The red-headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana,
Rode into town one day.
And under his knees was a ragin' black stallion,
And walkin' behind was a bay.
The red-headed stranger had eyes like the thunder,
And his lips, they were sad and tight.
His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside,
And his heart was heavy as night.
Don't cross him, don't boss him.
He's wild in his sorrow:
He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
Don't fight him, don't spite him;
Just wait till tomorrow,
Maybe he'll ride on again.
A yellow-haired lady leaned out of her window,
An' watched as he passed her way.
She drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion,
But cast greedy eyes on the bay.
But how could she know that this dancin' bay pony,
Meant more to him than life.
For this was the horse that his little lost darlin',
Had ridden when she was his wife.
Don't cross him, don't boss him.
He's wild in his sorrow:
He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
Don't fight him, don't spite him;
Just wait till tomorrow,
Maybe he'll ride on again.
The yellow-haired lady came down to the tavern,
An' looked up the stranger there.
He bought her a drink, an' he gave her some money,
He just didn't seem to care.
She followed him out as he saddled his stallion,
An' laughed as she grabbed at the bay.
He shot her so quick, they had no time to warn her,
She never heard anyone say:
"Don't cross him, don't boss him.
"He's wild in his sorrow:
"He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
"Don't fight him, don't spite him;
"Just wait till tomorrow,
"Maybe he'll ride on again."
The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset,
the stranger went free, of course.
For you can't hang a man for killin' a woman
whose trying to steal your horse.
Well, this is the tale of the red-headed stranger,
and if he should pass your way,
stay out of the path of the ragin' black stallion,
and don't lay a hand on the bay.
Don't cross him, don't boss him.
He's wild in his sorrow:
He's ridin' an' hidin his pain.
Don't fight him, don't spite him;
Just wait till tomorrow,
Maybe he'll ride on again.
:cboy:

I was thinkin' 'bout the "Time of the Preacher," and how they sometimes are just lofty hopes ridin' on airy words, delivered in such eloquence that the spirit seems to take away our cares and brings comforts and joys, short lived in the swamp of gravity and the sting of the coldness of night.
