"How can people be so heartless
You
know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil
and social injustice
Do you only care about being proud
How
about I need a friend, I need a friend"
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was
a good friend of mine I
never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine And he always had
some mighty fine wine....
If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war....
Sing it now Joy
to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the
deep blue sea
Joy to you and me"
"Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain in Shambala
Wash
away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain in Shambala"

"I took a walk around the world to
Ease
my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands
of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the
moon
I feel there is nothing I can do"

I saw her walking on the water
As the sharks were comin' for

So if you're travelin'
in the sky
Don't be surprised if someone said, 'Hi, I'm Mandy. Fly me ~ "
"Let's get this romance cooking honey, but let us not forget
'Life is a minestrone
served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne suspended in deep freeze....
Love is a fire of flaming brandy, upon a crepe

"Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have
drifted out to sea....
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And
you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.... The things we do for love, the things we do for love"
Godley & Creme
"You don't know how to ease my pain
Don't you hear any voices crying? That's the sound of my love dying
Or is it the rain?"
"Gimme sausage, egg and beans and chips
milkshakes, clambakes, fondue &
dips
and sauces, horses, 17 courses
of barbequed beef with asparagus tips
rashers of bacon, bagels and lox
and tandoori prawns and a box of chocs
spaghetti with mussels, palma hams
& deep frozen waffles with syrup &
jams
My willpower's gone
I'm down on my knees
Praying to the God of cottage cheese"

"The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the
pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I
might cry.
Well, by the force of will my lungs are filled - and so I breathe.
Lately
it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
Shiver in my bones just thinking about
- the weather.
Quiver in my voice as I cry. "

"Angel, angel or so
Wherever you may go

"One time, just once in my life.
Yeah one time, to know it can't happen twice
One
shot on a clear blue sky.
One look, I see the reasons why you cared....
Don't throw your lifeline away"
"I can't see me in this lonely town
Not a friendly face around
Can you
hear me when I speak out loud
Hear my voice above the crowd
And I try and I try and I try
But it never comes
out right
Yes I try and I try and I try
But I never get it right
It's a
Minor Earth Major Sky"
"Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time.
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on T.V."

"Flyin’ high, high
I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle
that
rides on the breeze
High, high
what a feeling to fly
over mountains and forests
and seas
- and
to go anywhere
that I please"
"Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight
hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace
Dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again ~
In the gloom
Like
an angel passing through my room"
"Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of
the city nights
I am behind you
I always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me
Never come near me
I am the tiger
The city is a prison. You'll never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the
shadows, and you'll see the shape
Of me!"
"Flowers in a desert need a drop of rain
Like a woman needs her man
If a man's in love and his woman wants the moon
Then he'll take it down if he can"
"Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building
me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a
fool
Playing by the rules"

"What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird.
Remember her name is recorded,
On the pages of God's Holy Word....
She
is spreading her wings for a journey
She's going to leave by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning
She'll rise and go
up in the sky....
I'll
be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird"
Aerosmith

Who taught me how to see....
I thank God I woke up from the dream
Because here comes the sun and we'll

"We gotta do what it takes
Cause
it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes....
Take
another breath
And say another prayer....
Do you see a bluer sky now
You could have a better life now
Open
your eyes"
"There's a hole in my soul
That's
been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows"
"I wanna keep that dream alive
And
eat that honey from the hive
With all the noise and all the glamor"
"There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes We're seein' things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his....
There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin dim
There's meltdown in the sky"
Caution: "f" word is sung in this version.
"Lord, I must be dreamin'

One

"After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with
it's life underground

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans
will give no love"

Don't make me wait till the morning comes
Light in the

Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye....
When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back"
"When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion
roars at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving
at the last unicorn
When
the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising
And it seems
like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn
I'm alive I'm ALIVE"

Sailin' cross the sea

I live with rain and then the sky will clear"

You're gonna go I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through

no despair
Alligator lizards in the air Wishin'

Watchin' for the early train

"Way down south in the Everglades
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass
waves
The eagles fly and the otters play
In the land of the Seminole....
Progress came and took its toll
And
in the name of flood control They
made their plans and they drained the land
Now the Glades are goin' dry
And the last time I walked in the swamp
I
stood up on a cyprus stump
I listened close and I heard the ghost
Of Oseola cry"

"You can talk about the weather
Or the mayor's sister
You can talk about

You can walk the city limits
In a matter of minutes
Talk about taking a walk
You can count the
stars in the clear night sky
Or sit back and listen while the train rolls by
Hey it's a small town"

"I was on the mend when I fell through
The sky around was anything but blue
I found as I regained my feet, a wound across my memory
That no amount of stitches would repair....
There's no returning
to the spoils
Once you've spoiled the thought of them
There's no falling back asleep
Once you've wakened from
the dream
Now I'm rested and I'm ready and I'm ready to begin"
"Fear like a habit run like a rabbit out and away
Through the screen door to the unknown....
Live like a pharaoh
Sing like a sparrow anyway
Even
if there is no land or love in sight
We bloom like roses, lead like Moses, out and away
Through the bitter crowd to the daylight....
You and I, we're the same
Live and die, we're the same
Hear my voice, know my name
You
and I, we're the same"

And walk

And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
And when the black cloak
drags upon the ground

If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die"

Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun."

For the sunshine day
There's a reason

Like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you
To all living things"
"I didn't care if the sun didn't shine
And the rain didn't fall from the sky
I just cared about myself

Running out of hate
Running out of space for the human race.

"Andrew Bird On Echolocating The Perfect-Sounding Home" (house and Planet Earth)
What is echolocation? Echolocation is the ability of using sound to observe one's environment through soundwaves to bounce
off of nearby objects which, in return, retrieves information by measuring the amount of time it takes for the sound waves
to return, enabling animals (and humans are also animals) to move about and find food, water, and shelter.

"Did you give it away
Did you give it away for free
Don't you give it away
Let's try to keep it in the family
I know you know desolation
Coming home with your pockets full of sand
I know it's no vacation
Now you're plowing your tiny patch of land....
Would you hide in the hay
Would you hide in the hay with me
Won't you hide in the hay
Where it's dark and we can scarcely breathe or see
Assured asphyxiation
Where the foxes and field mice make their dens"
"I can hear your tendrils still digging
For everything that's walked this Earth once living

And if you see her, it changes her"

We had a house down there but I lost it long ago
Lost it long ago....

" I spent twenty years trying to get out of this place
I was looking for something
I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known....
I went as far as I could
I tried to find
a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
With
every step I take, I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy
But not the boy from his home
These are
my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home?"

"There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love
that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But
I'll be there for you
As the world falls down"
"See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with
me
You wouldn't believe what I've been through"
"And so the days float through my eyes
But
still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As
they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're
quite aware of what they're goin' through"
"I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form

I gazed a gazley stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone

"I know a government man
He was as blind as the moon....
I saw a black black
stream
Full of white eyed fish
And a drowning man
With no eyes at all
I felt a warm warm breeze
That melted

I got a bad migraine
That lasted three long years
And the pills that I took
Made my fingers disappear....
You
were a talented child
You came to live in our town
We never bothered to scream
When your mask came off
We only
smelt the gas
As we lay down to sleep.... Time
will crawl and our mouths run dry
Time will crawl and our feet grow small
Time will crawl and our tails fall off
Time
will crawl 'til the 21st century lose Time will
crawl and our heads bowed down
Time will crawl and our eyes fall out
Time will crawl and the streets run red
Time
will crawl 'til the 21st century lose"

I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
And
with your kiss my life begins
You are Spring to me,

Oh my darling cling to me
For
we are creatures in the wind
And wild is the wind, wild is the wind, wild is the wind, wild is the wind
Wild - is the WIND"

"You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes....
And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try -
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide"

The Brothers Four
Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run.
Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run.
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields, that we used to roam?
Jackson Browne
"Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
With
the light of the morning

That they've heard their last warning
Standing

Each has his own ticket in his hand
And as the evening
descends
I sit thinking 'bout Everyman"
"Keep a fire for the human race
And let your prayers go drifting into space.... Perhaps a better world is drawing near

"Well the girl in the forest
Reached
out to ease my worried mind
Stopped me from falling into a downward spiral
I was worn by the city until I finally let go
Drifted out to the Sierras on
an empty road....
What
part of nature can you honestly say
Is beyond your explanations for short term gain
Something's got to change before everything's Gonna disappear
right before our eyes
And we finally face ourselves alone in the forest
Where
so much rides on which path we decide oh, mmm"
"I'm in exile with a sign that reads,

As he slowly walked by

"And he said "God, make it a dream!"
"As he rode his last ride down.
And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars,
Clipped off thirteen telephone poles,
Hit two houses, bruised eight trees,
And Blue-Crossed seven people.
It was then he lost his head,
Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped.
And he slid for four hundred yards
Along the hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania.
All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas."

And watch them all twist pretzels by hand, by hand
And if only we all lived in Pretzel Land"

Blow across the home of the Seminole

Teeming green
Green brain facing lobotomy

control centre for the world
Ancient cord of coexistence
Hacked by parasitic greed-head scam
From Sarawak to Amazonas
Costa
Rica to mangy B.C. hills
Cortege rhythm of falling timber.....
Cut and move on
Cut
and move on
Take out trees
Take out wildlife at a rate of
species every single day
Take out people who've lived with this for 100, 000 years
Inject a billion burgers worth of beef
Grain eaters, methane dispensers.
Through thinning ozone,
Waves fall on wrinkled earth
Gravity,
light,… Through thinning ozone,
Waves fall

But I'm thinking
about eternity"

In return"
I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange colored sky
[Flash, Bam, ala-Kazam]
Wonderful you came by
I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange colored view
[Flash, Bam, Ala-Kazam]
I got a look at you....
Out of an orange colored, purple striped
Pretty green polka dot sky
[Flash, Bam] Ala-Kazam and goodbye
Wow, I thought love was much softer than that

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

And everywhere was a song and a celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber

Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust, we are golden
We
are caught in the devils bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Fences will drift

And it called and cried so
And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife,
my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife
Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away"
"See this ancient riverbed
See
where all the follies are led
Down by the water and down by the old main drag"
"What's that crashing sound
That follows us around? That's the sound of all things good breaking....
Would you kindly keep it down?....
Just trying to
get some sleep"
"And here I dreamt I was a soldier
And I marched the streets of Birkenau
And I recall in spring
The perfume that the air would bring
To the indolent town
Where the barkers call the
moon down"
"Down by the lake we were overturning pebbles
And depending all the animals
alive....
And this much I can say, would have waited till the oceans
Fell away and all the sunken cities would reveal themselves
to you
But you won't, will you, because you never do
And the sun burned through, sweet as honey dew"
"And you won't make a dime
On this gray granite mountain mine
Of dirt you're
made and of dirt you will return So while
we're living here
Let's get this little one thing clear
There's plenty of men to die - you
don't jump your turn And it's one, two,
three
On the wrong side of the lee
What were you meant for
What were you meant for"
"When we arrive sons and daughters
We'll make our homes on the water
We'll
build our walls of aluminum
We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon now These currents pull us 'cross the border
Steady your boats arms to shoulder
'Til tides all pull our hull aground
Making
this calm harbor now home"
"And summer arrives with a length of lights
And summer blows away
And quietly
gets swallowed by a wave"
"My tender rose, my limber rose, my slender roping darling
My tender rose, my
slender rose, my limber loping darling
But my darlin's, long long long They came down from the mountain
They strayed too long from the fountain
Oh my girl, oh my love, I've lost
you
But I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't betray our water
No, I won't betray, I won't betray, I won't betray
our water
Till the water's all long gone"

"I am a wild child, yes I am

I wanna feel the good vibes and I
Wanna

By my side"

Is telling me to go there
So I'll follow my nose
Go
wherever it goes It's calling from around

Waiting just outside of town
Trailing vapors sweet and tangy
Daring me to track it down.... So fresh it almost makes me want to cry
So fresh it's givin' me

"Far
We've been traveling
far
Without a home
But not without a star....
Home, don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm

Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make
our bed, and we'll say our grace"

"Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two

L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine no more....
Did you ever read about a frog
Who
dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one"
"If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away All the
birds that flew
In the summer sky ....
But
if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again We'll sail the sun
We'll
ride on the rain
Will talk to the trees
And worship the
wind"

I'm riding on a sea of dreams
Far away, long

That moonlight ride with me?"
"You taught me a little 'bout good times
I fought through a little bit of rain
You
brought me a part of your sunshine
You took in the heart of my pain....
You showed what a little bit of love can do
You
opened my eyes and a light came through
Took me to a place that I never knew
Goodbye to my little bit of something blue"

And I'll be there to let the sun in,
And

We're just
two wild flowers that grow.
La la la la la la la la la on stones."

"Oh what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
What'll you do now, my darling young
one?
I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts fallin'
Walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where people
are many and their hands are all empty
Where pellets of poison are flooding the waters
Where the home in the valley
meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are
forgotten
Where black is the color, and none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And
reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinking
But I'll know
my song well before I start singing"
"I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world

You can't win with a losing hand"

"Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's
like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'
It's
magic....
It's a livin' thing
It's
a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible
thing to lose"
"Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome
to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And
today is the day we've waited for....
Hey
there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around
see what you do
Everybody smiles at you"

Holding on tightly to what's not there

We'll rebuild while we
watch the fires burn "
"She sang every day
All her life
Love the sound of her voice bouncing off
the mountain range
Down into the valleys
So she stayed every day"
Erasure
"Can't abide our sad goodbyes
I'll
see you soon my friend
And though we are oceans apart
It seems
you're always there"
"Blue Savannah
Blue Savannah
song
Oh blue Savannah song
Somewhere 'cross the desert
Sometime in the early hours
In a restless world
On
the open highway
My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you"
"I never had to call the tune
'Cause
I always drifted with the tide of the moon
(Ah la luna, my love, my love, my love)
I would go out every night
Looking for someone to treat me
right
Not a chance (chance) not a hope (hope)
In this world
(world)
Oh I want life
Life
wants me
To breath in it's love"
"Do you remember there was a time, ahaha
When people on the street
We're walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever"
"And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had
gone to sleep
Go ahead with your dreamin'
For
what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring
Go ahead with your
schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd
better watch that you don't cut your hands
Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls
are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For
a time when no one's cheating
The sunlight
rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory a dawn chorus
Birds
singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds"
"Chorus"
"Call it new technology
And
they use it to burn
And they show no concern
Work for their
prosperity
While the big wheels turn
Now it's too late to
learn
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
He's
gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting
back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream"
"One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for your
brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?
Well then
poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper (Pick up a pen or paper)
Or go talk to a friend (Go and talk to a friend)
The mystery of the future (The mystery of the future)
No violence
or revenge
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty (Guilty) and
how we ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love
We are guilty and how you
ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows, we're not to sacrifice the art of love"
"I'm talking 'bout the soul inside
Every thought and word and deed
We're running and we don't look back
Some people never see the lightEvery
particle of time
It will be a healing one....
I
wanna know the way you feel
We all want to touch the sun
Send
it to the end of time
Back to the beginning
All across the universe
We can feel the love
Around this crazy world
Fill us with fire
There'll be no sense of pity
We
will fly into heaven
We're choking on the air we breathe
And
I believe it's all a waste of time
It will fill us with fire
There'll
be no sense of pity
We will fly into heaven (heaven, heaven)
Everybody is hurting
Everybody wants freedom
We will fly into heaven"
"Love leave me to sleep, let me wallow in my dreams
See the icy past fade away
The dawning of a brand new day
The echoes of the past that still remind me
How many times will I regret the chances taken?
Why do I end
up always the one who is mistaken?"
"Will you be my port in a storm
And
I want to climb inside your head
I'm stronger to know that you care I love you to the sky, sky, sky, sky
I'll not tell you lies, lies, lies, lies
You can be my summer romance"
"We'll be going home
Where
the passion covers me with love
Covers me with love
Covers
me with love
It won't be out there, it can't be far
Falls like a teardrop to the star
A wall of silence all around
A wall of silence all around
We'll
be going home
Where the passion finds the perfect love"
"I want to be in the witness protection programme
I don't like what we've become
We've become borderline obsessive compulsives
Stop the world I want to get off with you baby
Stop right now
No-one out there wants to see the things
I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What
became of wanting to be free
Oh what a world
We lost power long ago
We
reap what we have sown
We have no conscience to speak of
It's
sheer madness
Don't take the moral high ground
Hide behind
your fake words
It's just an excuse
For your weakness
What a lost opportunity, don't be upset with me
What about all the secrets here on Earth
We unbottled the genie living out
fantasies
Fell for the propaganda badly
Oh what a world And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be"
"I shall pray love your soul to keep
The
river sleeping sound
I shall be dreaming deep of you
On a
bed of silver sand
I'll take you lightly by the hand
And we'll
dance on by the moon"
"You are my, my one true, my world in light
My world in light saving all
as one (My one true, one true)
A love that no one can deny
Only rain"
"I can't believe what is happening to me
My head is spinning (Spinning)
The flowers and the trees are encapsulating
me
And I go spinning (Spinning)"
"I close my eyes to the sound in the sky and I see
Birds in the trees and pastures green
Nothing to do with the time or the place,
I perceive
The rush of the sea beneath my feet
Such a lovely world, oh so magical
Precious like a pearl, wrapped
up in a shell
Build your house of stone on a bed of sand
Time
and tide will rise, washing through your hands
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul
lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel
the soul lift up
I lift my eyes to the sound in the sky and I hear it
The voice on the breeze
is so serene
Nothing to do with the time or the place but I feel it
Like
dust on the moon beneath my feet"
"Hey little wise man
You
got the sweetest notion
Ooh the sweetest thing
Just once in
a lifetime
You need a helping hand
Ooh a caring hand
You keep it wrapped up inside
It´s like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroying....
No other wise man
Could take the hurt like you do
Ooh
the pain like you
Putting on a brave face
But it gets to you
somehow
Ooh gets through somehow
You hold your head in your hands
And the weight of the world
on your shoulders
Come and pour your heart out to me"
"Across the sea, the sea of love
And
when it`s dark I rise above
Move slowly through the quiet air....
We are space, a lonely race
A speck of dust
upon the face"
Melissa Etheridge
"Longing for home again But home is a feeling I've buried in you
I'm
alright
I'm alright ~ it only hurts when I breathe
And I can't ask for things to be still again"

Can't you see I'm burning alive....
Somebody bring
me some water
Can't you see it's out of control"
" California
Come rescue me
California
I am almost free"
"Just a twist of fate
Swirling in the heavens
Asking me to
dance
I pick up the broken pieces
I put them back into the sky
I will illuminate the sweetness
It's time for me
to fly"
"Faded By Design" - Acoustic Performance
"When my soul crashed into my body
Falling into consciousness
That's when
my mind began this illusion
Of taking it - step after step
I looked into mother's eyes
I said tell me what I should believe
She drew me a room with a light and said
Just turn it off when you leave
Slow,
slow, this river is slow
We're all out here on our own
Row, row, gently we row
One day we'll find our way home"
"We keep thinking
Life is what it's not
We keep building
This impossible
facade Why do we keep trying
To turn people
into gods When god is in the people"
"The bones get broken
And the skin gets torn
And the scars, they bleed
Like
the day they were born....
When the whole damn world is busted
There's no need in bein' sane
Beyond repair
What
the soul can bear
The nerves, they tear
Dying a death of despair, oh Here comes the pain
Here comes the pain, oh
Here comes the pain
Here comes the pain"
"The promise of this new world
Would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth
That I - need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need
to shake up
I need to speak out
Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
NOW"

Down past an old shack
On a road that goes to nowhere
Ain't
nobody coming back....
There's no one

You might as well scream
They never woke up
From the American dream
And they don't understand"
"Time to come together, time to realize
I cannot blame the other, my life is
my design
Time to come together, time for me to see
My brothers and my sisters, just another part of me
Hey, uh
huh
This human chain will be unbroken
By and by, love, by and by
This human chain goes on forever
It's
you and I, it's you and I"
"You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from
your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets"
Please seek Bruce Springsteen and the East Street Band for Original.
"I am so sorry for the unexpected rain"
"My eyes are wide-open recognizing change
It feeds the fires of the fear
Where human love seems strange....
There's no need for hiding
And there's no need for shame
Come into the sun,
tell everyone
Love has a face it has a name....
A sacred force created me
In that I had no choice"

"On Blueberry Hill) We'll see what we shall see
(On Blueberry Hill) I'll bring
my horn with me
(When I found you) I'll be wit' you where berries are blue
(The moon stood still) Each afternoon we'll
go
(On Blueberry Hill) Higher than the moon we'll go....
The wind in the willow played (do you really love me)
Love's sweet melody (as I love
you?)....
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill"

"Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill
I'd sit there and look at the
deserted lakes and I'd sing
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
That would rise above the mountains and
the stars and the sea
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
Is something that I have heard before
A children's tale, the lonesome
wail of a lion's roar"
"Wolf-mother, where you been?
You look
so worn, so thin....
Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore.... When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The
trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this place
But there
was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace"

And the home got snowed in,
And the yellow moon glowed bright

Who turned you so against you?....
Fire can't doubt its heat
Water can't doubt its power
You're not adrift, you're not a gift
You know you're not a flower"

Down to your grave
Where the birds wait
And the tall grasses wave
They do not
Know you anymore
More, more, more"
"Light ended the night, but the song remained
And I was hiding by the stair, half here
Half there, past the lashing rain
And as the sky would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind
As we stood, congregated, at the firing line....
As if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like leaves?"

"And good God, under starry skies we are lost

"Good planets are hard to find
Temperate zones and tropic climes
True currents
in thriving seas
Winds blowin' through breathing trees
Strong ozone and safe sunshine
Good planets are hard to
find....
Good planets are in demand
Clean beaches and sparkling sand
Land masses with room to spare
Jet streams
and perfect air
High forests and low wetlands
Good planets are in demand....
Good planets are rare indeed
Rain fallin'
on crops and seed
Big rivers and good topsoil
Fuel sources from cane to oil
Green gardens of all we need
Good
planets are rare indeed....
Good planets are scarce and few
Earthworms and caribou
Strong food chains and
tasty meals
Textiles and plants that heal
Iron mountains and skies of blue
Good planets are scarce and few"
"Buildings an' people down under the skies,
I walk down the street lookin'

"'Oh the engine's gone dead,' cried the men who work there
And she passed up
the dock on the wide Delaware
Then the ship ran aground and the oil got away
And they penned that report, 'The Big
Spill' on that day It was hundreds of thousands of gallons galore
Stretching thirty-two miles down the Delaware shore
There were geese in the marshes out looking for food
They got
stuck where they stood in the oncoming crude And it's oil, oil
Ah, drifting to the sea
Oil, oil
Don't buy it at the station, you can have it now for free
Just
come on down to the shoreline, where the water used to be"

"You can't live for yourself on the far side of good
And try to use what you got like you said that you would
Step back from a forest, all you have is the trees
And seeds of doubt that you plant float away with the breeze....
So what's there
to do when you see what you got
And then your mind knocks you out with all the things you
have not
Succumb to the light and it's easy to choose
When you learn that the things that you love you can lose"
Lyrics
"Here we stand
Oaks and willows hand in hand
A breath of air, a grain of

Holding hard to what we have....
And now it's so clear to me
We're hanging on the breeze
And it's hard to
say
And it's harder still to know
We knew we'd have to let this go"

This was a life of

You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness
beneath the neon light
You were born in the city Concrete
under your feet
It's in your blood it's in your moves For a man of the streets"

(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
What a trip just watchin'
as the world goes past
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
There are so many groovy things
to see while grazin' in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can
you dig it)
Flowers with colours bright, makin', everything outta sight
(Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
The sun beamin' out between the leaves

And the birds dartin' in and out of the trees
(Grazin'

tests in geography
But I've seen things, far beyond just the schoolyard
Distant shores of exotic lands
There, the spires of the Turkish Empire

In colors that the canvas cannot show
Keeping secrets no one else could know

Come on rainbow - I can't let you go
Before I reach the end of you someway
So the next time raindrops fall
If it makes you climb the walls just think
Of green"

"I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when you're friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea
I'd like to visit to the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently
So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and the people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon"
"It's not that easy being green
It
seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause

Or

Green
can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, important
Like a mountain, tall like a tree....
But
if green is all there is to be
It may make you wonder why, why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and thati'll do fine, it's beautiful
And it's what I want
to be"

Would
be heard and answered

I hear the Windy City-I hear the gospel singers hymn-and it seems to me
American

oh oh -oh oh-oo-oo
I love the names of the cities - I hear the echo echoing
And it seems to me American music is all
there's ever been"

Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose"

"All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed

A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
When will there be a harvest for the world"

in the wood...
Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all look the same

Washed clean by the water but nursing his

The witch's promise was coming
And you look - and there's where for your own selfish gain"

And blinking, step into the Sun
There's more to be seen than
can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But
all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give....
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till
we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle ~ the

Sometimes it feels like, this world's

Grandpa, take me back to yesterday

Didn't seem so hazy
Grandpa, everything is changing fast

And Grandpa, let's wander back into the past
And paint me the picture of long ago....
Was a promise really something
people kept
Not just something they would say - and then forget"

"Masquerading as a man with a reason
My
charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I
don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about
like I'm a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices
say-"
"Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see....
Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It
slips away
And all… Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts
forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money
won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust
in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind"
"We've strangled all her trees and starved

"When I'm needing a friend I'll remember the wind
And my life here with the breezes of sorrow
I'll be leaving him soon 'cause

And I'll know I've found love and the last song
we'll sing"

With a mind that lives confined
Blind and unaware

"When I was eight I had a friend
With
a pirate smile
Make believe and play pretend
We were innocent
and wild
Hopped a fence and slammed the gate
Running down
my alleyway
In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly
We loved to watch them dive and soar
Circle
in the sky
Free as a bird from three to four
And never knowing
why
Neighbors pulled their wash back in
Put away my Barbie
and Ken
Look out overhead
While Sally's pigeons fly....
And me, I
can't remember when
A pirate smile hasn't made me cry
I close
my eyes
And Sally's pigeons fly~~~~"

In order to survive
And as we disgrace
the truth
Love has lost its way to greedy roots
Sometimes this world’s so cold
Where is all this hatred coming
from....
Until we get it right
The universe will cry
Until we get it
right
Religion will divide
The politics will lie
The blind will lead the blind
An empire for an eye
And still
not satisfied
And still we wonder why
And hate will multiply
Hate will multiply
The universe will cry

We climb the highest mountain
We'll make

We're so ingenious we can walk the moon
But when I hear of how the forest have died
Saltwater wells
in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying
And
time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by ....right before our
eyes"

To know what it is to forgive,
And
to be forgiven?

Isn't it time to stop somehow?

Water our children can't drink
You've heard it hundreds of times
You say you're aware, believe and
you care, but
Do you care enough
To talk with conviction of the heart?"

Your heart fits me like a glove (Heart fits just like a glove)
And I'm gonna be true blue
Baby,
I love you"

"Well I'm from a map dot
A stop sign on a blacktop
I caught the first bus, I could hop from there
But all o' this glitter is gettin' dark
There's concrete glowin' in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
And there's bars on the corner and bars on my heart
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close, to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rockin' chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows"

"When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew

In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light"

"I leave the noise and the dark city canyons
And walk through gates of wrought
iron black
There lies a world that's transformed before me
When I arrive will I ever go back....
We might go walking
hand in hand in the garden
And cross the bridge when it's starting to rain
And then go laughing and looking for shelter
And find a feeling that you can't explain
The colorful birds in botanical gardens
All fly away to a breezy lagoon
Where lovers can swim in the warm summer waters
Surrounded by flowers and the light of the moon
It's getting late
and the gates will be closing
Shall I remain or go back to the world
Shall I remain in botanical gardens
Surrounded
by flowers and those beautiful girls"
"Snarling equinox among the rocks will seize you

"The river of love is risin' at my doorstep, it won't let
me be.
I keep dreamin' of you and what the river will do
As
it starts flowin' over me.
The river of love is risin' by my window, it won't
let me sleep.
It's so windy and black and there's no turnin' back
'Cause
I know I'm in so deep."
"Starry Starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the
Darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and
the daffodils
Catch
the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me....
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
Morning
fields of amber grain
Weathered
faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's
Loving
hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you… How you suffered for
your sanity
How you tried to set them free."

"The comedy of man starts like this
Our brains are way too big for our mothers'
hips
And so Nature, she divines this alternative....
They build fortunes poisoning their offspring
And hand out prizes when someone patents
the cure
Where did they find these goons they elected to rule them?
What makes these clowns they idolize so remarkable?
These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
So they can go on being godless animals....
The only thing
that seems to make them feel alive is the struggle to survive
But the only thing that they request is something to numb
the pain
Until there's nothing human left"

And their search for love that

"The olden summer breeze was blowin' on your face
The light of God was shinin' on your countenance divine
And you were a violet
color as you
Sat beside your father and your mother in the garden The summer breeze was blowin' on
your face
Within your violet you treasure your summery words
And
as… The summer breeze was blowin' on your face
Within your violet
you treasure your summery words
And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden....
Listen no guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature"

And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of
your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And
all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush"

Up in the morning, up in the morning out on the road
And my head is aching and my hands are cold

I'm searching for
And I'm searching for the philosophers stone

"So little snowbird take me with you, when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
where the peaceful waters flow Spread your

And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And
if I could you know, that I would fly away with you
Yeah, if I could you know, that I would fly-y-y-y, Fly away with you"
"I sold my soul, You
bought it back for me
And held me up And gave me dignity Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the
world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high ~ that I could almost see eternity
You needed
me, you needed me ....
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the
end
And turned my lies back into truth again ~
You even called me, 'Friend'"

"Just yesterday night
As I turned out the lights
I heard someone yelling
In

'We live in a world
Where evil never sleeps'
But nothing makes me feel stronger
And nothing
gives me more peace
Than the breath of my baby
While she peacefully sleeps"

Find
wonders for your love,
I sought the best of me,
But all I
showed was what I couldn't be,
Your hush was a beauty I'd not seen,
Your
kindness made a gentle wreck of me

And
once I traveled winter with the sun
Your heart was my home,
The
rest of me will roam into tomorrow, my love,
For tomorrow there's love, there's love
Beneath
the yellow clouded moon,
Where buried hopes rise from their tombs,
The
whispers call to heaven above,
That you caught me up in the windy arms of love"

Unstoppable, untamed and wild

isn't brave I've learned....

And where you finish isn't where you start"

And eagles can't fly

I cry but my word's my only witness

In the early mornin' rain with no place to go."
"Still the world is in labor, She groans in tra-vail, She cries with the Eagle,
the Dolphin She signs in the song of the Whale. While the heart of her people Prays at the wall"
Plant your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
Old crow watchin' hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground

While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice
I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses....
He speaks and the
sound of his voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that he gave to me
Within my heart is
ringing"

"I can't {won't} call it rescue,
What
brought me back here to this old world to drink and decline,
Pretend that the search for another
new world was well worth the burning of mine.
But sometimes at night, in my dreams,
Comes the singing of some unheard tropical bird,
And I smile in my sleep,
Thinking Annabel Lee's finally made it to the top of the world."

"This time my journey to wherever you are I sail
on your river, so far my love we'll never be found....
Moonlight shining on your face
My bridges burned
With all my tears that you replaced
Two
hearts together is a beautiful sight I'll take you to heaven
so far
My love will follow you there ~
If we believe We got eyes that see in the dark
And the
power of love lives for making you mine
Am I the light of someone you need more of
Let me be that love you can be sure of Is it only my imagination? ~ Like the eagle that flies in the sun
I'll
be lost in your fire before we are done
And the view from my window is brighter
Born to be all you need "

"Wild, wild horses we'll ride them some day"
Rush
"What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently, like rain."
"When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance Cities
full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly
guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise"
"A hot and windy August afternoon
Has the trees in constant motion
With
a flash of silver leaves
As they’re rocking in the breeze The
boy lies in the grass with one blade
Stuck between his teeth
A vague sensation quickens
In his young and restless
heart
And a bright and nameless vision
Has him longing to depart"
"Electricity? Biology?
Seems to me it’s Chemistry Emotion transmitted

Do we make contact
With one another?"

"When our weary world was young
The struggle of the ancients first began
The gods of Love and Reason
Sought alone to rule the fate of Man....
They battled through the ages
But still
neither force would yield
The people were divided,
Every soul a battlefield…
We can walk our road together
If our goals
are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim Let the truth of Love be lighted
Let the love of truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the Heart and Mind united
In a single perfect sphere"
"His world is under observation —
We monitor his station
Under faces
and the places
Where he traces points of view He picks up
scraps of conversation —
Radio and radiation
From the dancers and romancers
With the answers — but

"The spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact
In your
happy solitude Invisible airwaves

"Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown....
Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone....
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless
dreams of youth"

"In Mr. Thompson's factory they're making plastic Christmas trees
Complete with
silver tinsel and a geodesic stand
The plastic's mixed in giant vats, from some conglomeration that's
Been piped from

And if you ask them questions they say, 'Why don't you see?
It's
absolutely needed for the economy.'
What will we do when there's nothing left to read
And there's nothing left to need
There's

Nothing left to see
And nothing left to be but garbage"

A time to laugh, a time to weep"

"Think in terms of bridges burned
Think of seasons that must
end
See the rivers rise and fall
They will rise and fall again Everything must have an end
Like an ocean to a shore

Did you really think it could
How you tried to make it last
Did you really think it would?"

"Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my
'60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves....
I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How
far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from nineteen sixty-two
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When
you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in"
"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'"
"Sometimes at night, I see their faces,
I feel the traces they've left on my

Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul"

Every bee that brings the honey
Needs a
sting to be complete
And we all must learn to taste the bitter with the sweet....
For

Let your mercy be complete
Bless the sting and bless the honey
Bless the bitter and the sweet.
"I came upon the water wells
On my way I said,
'This is not sprawled country
From which my love
I have forgotten a city and
a house'
And in following
She was wild
To the water wells, to the water wells
To the spring that which pulsates
on the mountain
My reputation you will find gentle
Who is terrified?
Groundwater recharge
And who is a river
I only
loved
Her giving me a shade in the summer
And in the terrible sandstorm
I just loved it
That She built me a city
and a house
She is my life, and she is
I die every hour
To the cisterns ...
Where he figmed
And there
the olive seedlings
And the wonderful blossoming of pomegranates
Name I liked
The drunk and not the wine
She would
close her eyes slowly
To the water wells ..

You can’t see what we
all see
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when
the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone"

the stars and stripes and the eagle fly"
"Now I know that things are different than they were in Daddy's days
But I
still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a
string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall
for anything "
Toad the Wet Sprocket
"Like water through my hands
You'd
give him any ending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from

To this world again"

You have to cry with your own blue tears
Have to laugh with your own good cheer"

"The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped
an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say,
'Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you....' The wild
dogs cry out in the night.... As sure as Kilimanjaro rises
like Olympus above the Serengeti.... I bless the rains down
in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time
to do the things we never had”
"Africa"
"Africa" continuously played in Namib Desert, Africa

"We're all just ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere
Power stearin' wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really
just along for the ride like ants on a log"
"My love is deeper than the holler Stronger than the rivers
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes, that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime window
sill
And longer than the song - of the whippoorwill"
A Whippoorwill Sings
"Well Honey.... As
long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men"

"An old mail pouch, tobacco sign
Fadin' on the barn,
Bringin' back sweet
memories of Mama's farm
When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road.
[Spoken:] You know, she
almost had me turned around,
But that was years ago.....
Well, I left my soul out in the rain,
Lord, what a
price I've had to pay.
The storms of life are washin' me away.
Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away."
Triumph
"The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running
out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines"
"Music holds the secret,
To
know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes,
It's
the sound inside your soul
The magic of the melody
Runs through
you like a stream
The notes the play flow through your head
Like
a dream
Like a dream
Like a dream"
"I live my life
Like I wanna
live
I got no reasons that I have to give
Now no one's got
No chains on me
I'll tell you somethin' baby
It's
the way it should be"
"We've passed the point of no return
How
can we make amends
All alone I watch the candle burn
Burning
at both ends
Nothin's ever gonna change
Can tears wash away
this pain
Tears in the rain
Here it comes again
I'll never know the reason why
I
cry these tears in the rain (rain)
The time has come to make a stand
We've waited much too long
Nobody's gonna lead us by the hand
How could we be so wrong"
Ike and Tina Turner
"I love you, baby, just like Robin loves to sing
I love you, baby, like a flower

"I wish I found some better sounds no one’s ever heard
I wish I had a
better voice that sang some better words.... Wish we could
turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out.... It’d be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
Same clothes
homegrown A stone’s throw from a creek we used
to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree-house homes - we all would
take the latter"
Bonnie Tyler
"We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks....

"See the world in green and blue
See
China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See
the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See
the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After
the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away The Beautiful Day"
"In the lands you have a garden"

The water is warm till you discover how deep...

It's a long way down to nothing at all"

"'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever

"He said, "I've been where you've been before.
Down every hallway's a slamming door."
No way out, no one to come and save
me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me
Then somebody said what I'm saying to you
Opened my eyes and
told me the truth."
They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better."
So I followed that preacher man down to the river
And now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger There must've been something in the water
Oh, there must've been something in the water"
"'This is our temporary home
It's
not where we belong
Windows in rooms that we're passin' through
This
is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid, because I know this is our
-
Temporary Home.'"
"And when you’re lost out in this crazy world
You got somewhere to go and get found
Thank God for hometowns
Thank God for hometowns"
"She almost turned around
But
that would be like pouring rain drops
Back into a cloud
So
she took another step and said
I see the way out, and I'm gonna take it....
Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side"
"God put us here on this carnival ride.
We
close our eyes, never knowing where it'll take us next.
Babies are born, and at the same time,
someone's taking their last breath....
Its the wheel of the world.
I don't know what it is, I'm flying high, but
I'm wondering why I'm sinking on this ship going down. Life keeps on moving anyway."

Languishes man and flock, the pine tree

The cuckoo begins to sing and at once
Join in the turtledove and the goldfinch....

Hangs the fearsome storm, and his destiny"

"Can't save the ocean but we sure can save a dime.
We may all look good but I think we're running out of time.
If we looked around
as much as we look at ourselves.
Stop listening to gossip and start listening to cries for
help.
Everybody's

Certain they've got something no one else can

The earth is drying. Planets are dying. Everybody's saying,
'Yea,

Say I will change tomorrow. I will change it all tomorrow"

Wonder

Never give it up now I guess"
The Weavers
"You'll weep for the rocks and mountains
You'll weep for the rocks and mountains

Will there be time to find salvation
When the stars begin to fall"

Helps
you feel your life protects you
Cradles you and connects you to everything"

"Many years I've been looking for a place to call home
But I failed to find
it so I must travel on
I don't care for fine mansions on earth's sinkin' sand
Lord build me a cabin in the corner

Lord build me just a cabin in the corner of Gloryland
In the shade of his tree of life that it may
ever stand"

"Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly....
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The
moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome,
I could cry"
"I saw the light I saw the light
No more darkness no more night
Now I'm so
happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light"
"The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just awaitin' for the grass
to turn green....
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm....
Sunflowers waitin'
for the sunshine
Violets just waitin' for dew
Bees just waitin' for honey
And, honey, I'm just waitin' for you"
"I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But I got to the river
so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry...."
"My tires and tubes are doin' fine but the air is showin' through
You clap hands

Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin', settin' the woods on fire"

"If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing
that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried
Still, I'd look to find a reason to believe"
"And her eyes are like skies about to rain
But there's work to be done, and
she does not complain
Her children are so far away
I heard you crying, I heard you praying
Now you must go, and it's
so hard to say.... We're convinced our intentions are good
But
we live in this world often misunderstood Can you feel it?
(Uh-huh)
I can feel it
And no one seems to care much, and its so hard to say.... Turn around but she's lost in the sun
There was so much to say, but she's already gone"

The Wombles
The Wombles are fictional pointy-nosed, furry creatures created by author Elizabeth
Beresford. Originally appearing in a series of children's books from 1968, to becoming a television show,
and even a band, created a environmental movement, still popular today. The Wombles live in burrows, where collecting
and recycling rubbish in creative ways is their life passion. Although Wombles live in every country in the world, Beresford's
stories are focused on the lives of the inhabitants of the burrow on Wimbledon Common in London, England.
"Underground, overground, wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon
Common are we
Making good use of the things that we find
Things that the everyday folks leave behind
Uncle Bulgaria,
he can remember the days When he wasn't behind the times With his map of the world Pick
up the papers and take them to Tobermory
Wombles
are organised, work as a team
Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean
Underground, overground, Wombling free
The
Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
People don't notice us, they never see
Under their noses a Womble may be
Womble by night and we Womble by day
Looking for litter to trundle away
We're so incredibly utterly devious
Making the most of everything
Even bottles and tins
Pick up the pieces and make them into something new
Is what
we do
Underground, overground, Wombling free
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
Making good use of the
things that we find
Things that the everyday folks leave behind"
"When the sun doesn't shine and it's cloudy and gray
And it's only the beginning
of the wombling day
And you've got to do the washing up for Madame Cholet"
"Some people follow the sun Some people cry when it rains We like a shower, because
it clear the air We don't care, because we've got an umbrella"
"Underground ~ Overground" [Instrumental Song]
Woodkid
"What are the words that I'm supposed to say?
Your white skin, swirling fireflies.
Darkness has surrounded Baltimore bay.
Why don't you open your blue eyes?
Are they things that water can't wash away?
How can your absence leave no trace?
As I let you sink in Baltimore bay.
I drown myself deep in disgrace.
What is the price, am I supposed to pay?
For all the things I try to hide?
What is my fate, am I supposed to pray?
That trouble's gone with the sunlight?
A warm sun rises and ignites the bay.
I come back home and start to cry
I'll never come back to Baltimore bay.
Try to forget the fireflies.
What are the words that I'm supposed to say?
If someone knew about this lie?
If your body rises to the surface?
Through the silence of fireflies "
Neil Young
"When you hear real music, you get lost in it, because it sounds like God."

"Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about
a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare
blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look
at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies."
"Lately I been thinking
About
the changing world
Trying to fit in pieces of the dreams
Just
trying to add it up
Figure out what it means
When a lost planet
comes tumbling home....
While the day is with us
And the birds are near
Singing in the sun, basking in its light
As it just risen
Through the fogs of fear
Can
I take a minute to do what's right
Before that starts me thinking
Distracting
me again"
"Over the rainbow Send
me away Down by the river"
"Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says
keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,"
" There's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where
the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night"

"The summer is here at last
The
sky is overcast
And no one brings a rose for Emily She watches her flowers grow
While
lovers come and go
To give each other roses from her tree....
Her roses are fading now
She keeps her pride
somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain
And as the years go by
She will grow old and die
The
roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not
a rose for Emily" "
"Do you remember summer days
Just
after summer rain
When all the air was damp and warm
In the
green of country lanes?
And the breeze would touch your hair
Kiss
your face and make you care
About your world
Your summer world
And we would count the evening stars....
And I can't forget you
Won't forget you
Won't
forget those days
And Beechwood Park"
"His alone girl fades away
Left
out on a limb"
"I knew her when summer was her crown
And
autumn sad
How brown her eyes
I knew her when winter was her cloak
And spring her voice
She spoke to me
Now
Silver and gold
Strawberry clothes
Money will buy
Something to hold
See in her
eyes
Nothing will last
Like emerald stones
And platinum"
"She takes your hand
When
the world stays outside
That's something to see
That's nothing
to hide"
"You made the sun shine through
And changed my world from black -
Give me
that hunger"
"And from that nameless changing crowd
A
sweet vibration seemed to fill the air
I stood astounded staring hard
At
men with flowers resting in their hair"
"Who can tell where the journey may lead me
Who can say where the rainbow may
be found"
"The warmth of your love
Is like the warmth of the sun
And this will be our
year
Took a long time to come"
"To take you in the sun to promised lands
To show you - every one
It's the time - of the season - for loving"
ZZ Top
"Let's go out to Egypt 'cause it's in the plan,
Sleep beside the pharoahs in
the shifting sand"
