Inspired by GS's honesty poll...
 

The Stranger

Well, we all have a face
that we hide away forever
& we take them out & show ourselves
when every one has gone
Some are satin, some are steel,
some are silk & some are leather
They're the faces of the Stranger,
but we love to try them on

Well, we all fall in love,
but we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
there are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
that you never saw the Stranger
Did you ever let your lover
see the Stranger in yourself?

Don't be afraid to try again,
Everyone goes south every now & then
You've done it, why can't someone else?
You should know by now, you've been there yourself

Once I used to believe
I was such a great romancer
Then I came home to a woman
that I did not recognize
When I pressed her for a reason,
she refused to even answer
It was then I felt the Stranger
kick me right between the eyes

You may never understand
how the Stranger is inspired
But he isn't always evil,
& he isn't always wrong
Though you drown in good intentions,
you will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire
when the Stranger comes along...

Billy Joel

Ain't Even Done With The Night~ Mellancamp
Well our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well I'm tellinya that I don't know if I know what to do


You say that's all right, hold tight
Well I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

Well I don't know no good come-ons
And I don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burnin you up deep down inside
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well I'm tellin ya that I don't know if I know what to do

You say that's all right, hold tight
Well I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

I didn't check but so sorry if this is a repeat......
 

Every year I just don't get the "spirit" till I hear this song at least once. One year I hadn't heard it at all........as I was sooooooo busy I never got a chance to listen to the radio (believe it or not). So, since then, I have made it a point to tune to a local station that plays newer Christmas songs. Most Pixie members, who know me already, know.......I am an atheist. But the spirit of Christmas surpasses any religious boundries. In this season of celebration.........whatever the cause you celebrate.........I feel close to heart, hearth, family, less fortunate and most of all.............GIVING!

This song says it all for me...............and BTW, I absolutely love Boy George in this tune.........his Ohhhhhhhhhh's give me goose bumps!


(Do They Know It's Christmas?)
Band Aid Christmas Song
M. Ure and Bob Geldof


It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime

It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again





* Sooooooo??????? Have you donated anything this year? A gift of one toy could make a childs life so memorable. A monetary gift could help an entire family.....or in the case of third world countries....an entire community! I am NOT preaching......just touching your heart strings! Those that give.....get back tenfold! Even if you just get back the sense of pride for giving......you got something back.........am I right? It feels so good to give.........so PLEASE Pixies...........give till it feels so good!*

I love you all! TY for taking this in stride! Happy Holidays to all and to all...............I am outta here!

*hugs n kisses*

I Wanna Get To Ya
Billy Gilman

I've got a secret I can't keep
I've got my eyes on something sweet
It feels like my heart's pounding through my chest
You've got a smile I can't resist
I get tongue tied, everytime you and I are close like this
Girl, here's my wish

I wanna get to ya
I wanna be the one that moves ya
I wanna give my heart to ya
I want you so much
Girl I know just what I've been missing
I wanna be the one you're kissin'
So open up your arms and listen
I wanna get to ya

I'm the kind of guy who understands
A simple little thing like holding hands
Or x's and o's on a love note sent to you
I'll make you a promise that I'll keep
I'm telling you, right here, right now
I'll get down on my knees
I'll do anything

I wanna get to ya
I wanna be the one that moves ya
I wanna give my heart to ya
I want you so much
Girl I know just what
I've been missing
I wanna be the one you're kissin'
So open up your arms and listen
I wanna get to ya

The way I feel
I know this love is real
Baby, I'm head over heels for you

One Voice
Billy Gilman

Some kids have and some don't
And some of us are wondering why
Mom won't watch the news at night
There's too much stuff that's making her cry
We need some help
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard

A house, a yard, a neighborhood
Where you can ride your new bike to school
A kind of world where Mom and dad
Still believe in the golden rule
Life's not that simple
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard

One voice, one simple word
Hearts know what to say
One dream can change the world
Keep believing
Till you find a way

Yesterday while walking home
I saw some kid on newberry road
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it in the river below
Thanks for the help
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard
One voice was heard
One voice was heard

Faith
George Michael

well I guess it would be nice
if I could touch your body
I know not everybody
has got a body like you

but I've got to think twice
before I give my heart away
and I know all the games you play
because I play them too

oh but I
need some time off from that emotion
time to pick my heart up off the floor
and when that love comes down
without devotion
well it takes a strong man baby
but I'm showing you the door
'cause I've gotta have faith

baby
I know you're asking me to stay
say please please please don't go away
you say I'm giving you the blues
maybe
you mean every word you say
can't help but think of yesterday
and another one who tied me down to
loverboy rules

before this river becomes an ocean
before you throw my heart back on the floor
oh baby I reconsider
my foolish notion
well I need someone to hold me
but I'll wait for something more

yes I've gotta have faith...

Merry Christmas Strait To You
George Strait

It's Christmas time
I see the lines of people everywhere
Tryin' to pick out the gifts
That show how much they care
It makes me wish that I could see my friends
On Christmas Day
And fill my list with lots of gifts
But I can only say

Here comes a merry Chritmas strait to you
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue
Right or wrong I'll sing my song
And you will know just who
Sings a merry Christmas strait to you

There's lot of ways to share the days
Of Christmas with your friends
A Christmas card, a tree that stars
And gifts that make you grin
I'd like to share this song with everyone who came our way
Without a doubt the fires not out
It burns for you today

Here comes a merry Chritmas strait to you
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue
Right or wrong I'll sing my song
And you will know just who
Sings a merry Christmas strait to you

Here comes a merry Christmas and to all who might of missed us
A very merry Christmas strait to you

Heartland
George Strait

When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar,
You're listening to the sound of the American heart.
And Opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.

Sing a song about the heartland,
The only place I feel at home.
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight's gone.
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right.
Sing a song about the heartland.
Sing a song about my life.

There’s a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you,
Where simple people living side by side
Still wave to their neighbor when they’re drivin’ by.

Sing a song about the heartland,
The only place I feel at home.
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight's gone.
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right.
Sing a song about the heartland.
Sing a song about my life.

I Cross My Heart
George Strait

Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete,
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see,
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm,
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine,
A love as true as mine

Write This Down
George Strait

I never saw the end in sight; fools are kind of blind.
Thought everything was going alright, but I was running out of time.
'Cause you had one foot out the door, I swear I didn't see
But if you're really going away, here's some final words from me.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away,
So you'll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

I'll sign it at the bottom of the page, I'll swear under oath
'Cause every single word is true, and I think you need to know,
So use it as a bookmark, stick it on your 'frigerator door,
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel where you'll see it for sure.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away,
So you'll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

You can find a chisel, I can find a stone.
Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away,
So you'll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

Oh I love you and I don't want you to go, baby write this down.

Tears In Heaven
Eric Clapton and Will Jennings

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.

First Verse

I Want My Rib Back
Kenny Chesney

Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib.
How the Lord made a woman for companionship.
And the first thing she did ,
Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit.
Well, I guess we'll be paying till the end of time,
At least that's how it is with that woman of mine.
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.
And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night.
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.
Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side,
Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride.
Her daddy calls her angel,
And her momma calls her three times a night.
Her cousins on the sofa, her sister's got my car,
Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar,
Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.
And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night.
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.
Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

With Arms Wide Open
Creed

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

{Guitar Break}

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything..oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open

You Took The Words..
Meatloaf

On a hot summer night.
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth? Yes
Will he offer me his teeth? Yes
Wlll he offer me his jaws? Yes
Will he offer me his hunger? Yes
Again. Will he offer me his hunger? Yes
And will he starve without me? Yes
And does he love me? Yes ... Yes
On a hot summer night.
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses? Yes
I bet you say that to all the boys

It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was a fog crawling over the sand
When I listen to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste

You hold me so close that my knees grow weak
But my soul is flying high above the ground
I'm trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can't seem to make any sound

And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you

Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I'm beginning to grin
Oooh, we're finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And ain't no one gonna know where you
No one gonna know where you
No one's gonna know where you've been

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste

You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me

EPITAPH
 

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments if death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

King Crimson - lyrics by Pete Sinfield

Big Boys
 

Big Boys

I am starting to function
in the usual way
everything is so provocative
very, very temporary
I shall walk
out of this place
I shall walk out on you
'cause you consider if she's really trying so hard
to be like the big boys

so you take her to the pictures
trying to become a fixture
inch by inch trying to reach her
all the way through the second feature
worrying about your physical fitness
tell me how you've got the sickness

I was caught in the suction
by a face like a trunction
I was down upon one knee
stroking her vanity
I was stuck on her hammerhead
I came alive and left for dead
as my face returned to red
choking on my pride and pity

we can talk
until your face is blue
we can talk, but she'll get to you
after you've been loved and hated
by the ones who watched and waited
found that they were overrated
she'll be the one (when the party's over)
she'll be the one (when the girls have gone home)
she'll be the one (that you'll wish you'd held on to)
she'll be the one (but it's too late for you too)
she'll be the one (who knows all your history)
she'll be the one (so you can cross her off your list)
and you try so hard
and you try so hard
and you try so hard
to be like the big boys

Elvis Costello

I Like It, I Love It
Tim McGraw

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair
I throwed out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year
I'm gonna get fired if I don't get some sleep
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in too deep

But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard
I can't rise about it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

My mama and daddy tried to teach me courtesy
But it never sank in 'til that girl got a hold of me
Now I'm holding umbrellas and openin' up doors
I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweepin' my floors
I'm Crossin' my fingers
And countin' every kiss
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this

'Cause I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard
I can't rise about it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

Got to wash my truck
And dress up
To pick her up to watch TV
And she sits down on the sofa
She'll move a little closer
She can't get enough of me

Yeah, and I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard
I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

When you should a-stayed in bed

Didja' ever
Didja' ever get
Didja' ever get one
Didja' ever get one of them

Are You In It For Love
Ricky Martin

Are you in it for love
Are you in it for money
If I lost everything would you be there in the morning

Ay mama, you're my sweet mamacita
You've gonne to my head, like too many margaritas
You say that you sing, that you're some kind of dancer
But the stars in your eyes, never reveal the answer
One fine day, you'll be walking out that door
I hope you find, just what you're looking for

Chorus
Are you in it for love
Are you in it for money
If I lost everything would you be there in the morning
Are you in it for kicks
Private jets and Armani
When the ride's over, would you even bother to call me

Ay mama, you're my sweet senorita
But if I should fall in love, will of your sweetness turn bitter
You swear that you'll stay, that you love me forever
But that's what you'll say to the next fool who's handsome or clever
One fine day, when your name is up in light
You will know what I am asking you tonight

Chorus

Are you in it for money cause to much is never enough
Are you in it for you, Are you in it for me
Are you in it for love.

Are you in it for you, Are you in it for me

Chorus (Various times)

Ben
Michael Jackson

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)

I used to say, "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
(I used to say, "I" and "me")
(Now it's "us", now it's "we")

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

The Way You Make Me Feel
Michael Jackson

Hee - hee!
Ooh!

High heels on

You're just a product of loveliness

The Distance

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving,still making the grade.
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance.

If you wait for me then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.

Kansas~ Carry On My Wayward Son

{Refrain}
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

{Refrain}

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

{Refrain}
No!

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)

I want Candy ~ Bow Wow Wow

I know a guy who's tough but sweet,
he's so fine, he can't be beat
He's got everything that I desire,
sets the summer sun on fire
I want candy,
I want candy
Go to see him when the sun goes down,
ain't no finer boy in town
You're my guy,
you walked up to water,
so sweet,
you make my mouth water
I want candy,
I want candy - yeah
Candy on the beach, there's nothing better
But I like candy when it's wet dance weather
Some day soon I'll make you mine,
then I'll have candy all the time
I want candy,
I want candy
I want candy,
I want candy
Hey,
hey,
hey,
hey,
hey!

Damn a dark song popped in my wee little head ............

I dig my toes into the sand.
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.
I lean against the wind, pretend that i am weightless and in this moment i am happy.

[Chorus:]
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here.

I lay my head onto the sand.
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.
I'm counting ufo's.
I signal them with my lighter
and in this moment i am happy, happy.

[Chorus]

The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in.
Maybe I should hold with care,but my hands are busy in the air.

Wish You Were Here~Incubus

Alice In Chains
Love, Hate, Love

I tried to love you I thought I could
I tried to own you I thought I would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste

You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel you should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell

Cheating myself still you know more
It would be so easy with a whore
Try to understand me little girl
My twisted passion to be your world

Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive
Take my hand before I kill
Still love you, I still burn

Love, hate, love

Poodle doos and saddle shoes don't mean a thing to me,
it's your thigh high nylons that bring me to my knees.
Bring back the classic bob, and drop the shaggy crop.
In your thigh high nylons, my eyes are spinning and they won't stop.

Thigh high nylons, you're alright,
thigh high nylons, you're out of sight,
won't you get those thigh highs on tonight?

Forget the floppy hippy skirt, and lose the sloppy dyes.
In your thigh high nylons, you'll always catch my eye.
No it's not the days of old, so take off that fur.
In your thigh high nylons is all you need and nothing more!

Thigh high nylons, so fine,
thigh high nylons, I'll make you mine,
won't you get those thigh highs on tonight?

I caught you walking in the corner of my eye
and my field of vision was on your thigh highs.
I tried to make my move, but I hit the wall,
lying flat on the floor you make the call.
It wasn't that though, that i heard from the lips,
I take a watch at the swinging hips.
It was like that what was I to do
so I stepped on back and took a sip of my brew.
Said the first time that my face turned red,
you left me lyin' dead with a bullet in my head.
'Cause at the end of it all I just don't know
but your thigh high nylons are stealing the show.
Panty hose? NO, we need thigh high nylons.
Black thights? NO, we need thigh high nylons!
Bobby socks? NO, we need thigh high nylons.
Nothing compares to what i got my eyes on.

Whatever happened to the mini skirt,
that meant so much to me.
In your thigh high nylons, that's what I want to see.
What you wrap around your legs, that fabric of my life.
In your thigh nylons I got you in my sights!

Thigh high nylons, you're alright,
thigh high nylons, you're out of sight,
won't you get those thigh highs on tonight?
Thigh high nylons, so fine,
thigh high nylons, I'll make you mine,
won't you get those thigh highs on tonight?

GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER!

Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas Eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me an' Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinking too much eggnog, And we begged her not to go. But she forgot her medication, And she staggered out the door into the snow.

When we found her Christmas morning, At the scene of the attack She had hoof prints on her forehead, And incriminating Claus marks on her back.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas Eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me an' Grandpa, we believe.

Now we're all so proud of Grandpa, He's been taking this so well. See him in there watching football, Drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel.

It's not Christmas without Grandma, All the family's dressed in black. And we just can't help but wonder Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas Eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me an' Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table And the pudding made of fig (ahhhhh!) And the blue and silver candles, That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours, Better watch out for yourselves. They should never give a license, To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Sing it, Grandpa!

Opeth - The Moor
1. The Moor

The sigh of summer upon my return
Fifteen alike since I was here
Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail
Snuffing the first morning rays

Weary from what might have been ages
Still calm with my mind at peace
Would I prosper or fall, drain the past
The lapse of the moment took it's turn

I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith
Wearing my death-mask at birth
The hands of God, decrepit and thin
Cold caress and then nothing
I was taken away from my plight
A treason bestowed to the crowd
Branded a jonah with fevered blood
Ungodly freak, defiler

Pale touch, writhing in the embers
Damp mud burning in my eyes
All the faces turned away
And all would sneer at my demise

Outcast with dogmas forged below
Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born
No mercy would help me on my way
In the pouring rain nothing is the same

Vows in ashes
I pledge myself to no-one
Seethed and spiteful
All shudder at the call of my name
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me

There is no forgiveness in these eyes
For any of you but one
Dispel the mist for now
Melinda is the reason why I've come

She is waterdrops over the pyre
A thistle in my hands
Stained and torn, aged and brown
Virtous shell with kindred innocense

I awoke from the miasma
Passing swiftly through the moor
This is here, waters stir
And in the distance all that was lost
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me
You'd never leave me to
A fate with you

The Cure - Bloodflowers"This dream never ends," you said. "This feeling never goes
The time will never come to slip away"
"This wave never breaks," you said. "This sun never sets again
These flowers will never fade"

"This world never stops," you said. "This wonder never leaves
The time will never come to say goodbye"
"This tide never turns," you said. "This night never falls again
These flowers will never die"
Never die, never die
These flowers will never die

"This dream always ends," I said. "This feeling always goes
The time always comes to slip away"
"This wave always breaks," I said. "This sun always sets again
And these flowers will always fade"

"This world always stops," I said. "This wonder always leaves
The time always comes to say goodbye"
"This tide always turns" I said. "This night always falls again
And these flowers will always die" Always die, always die
These flowers will always die

Between you and me
It's had to ever really know who to trust
How to think
What to believe
Between me and you
It's hard to ever really know who to choose
How to feel
What to do

Never fade, never die
You give me flowers of love
Always fade, always die
I let fall flowers of blood

The Cure - The Funeral Party
Two pale figures
Ache in silence
Timeless
In the quiet ground
Side by side
In age and sadness
I watched
And acted wordlessly
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Moving through an unknown past
Dancing at the funeral party

Memories of childrens dreams
Lie lifeless
Fading
Lifeless
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
Crying at the funeral party

I heard a song
And turned away
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Noiselessly across the floor
Dancing at the funeral party

Everyday, the mornin' comes,
I drag my ass out of bed,
My head's pounding
From the night before.
Still can't say what's happening,
Stagnant hours plus no gain,
Pick up some clothes from the floor,
These days it's hard to get up.

My brain is fogged, I see my breath,
as I go stumblin' down the street,
Ten minutes late, I'm only halfway there.
I'll only tell you, I take my days
I pick apart the good ones from teh bad.
Don't seem like things are changin' soon

I stop on a dollar,
Cause it's the last one I got.
Should be me the one who's begging'
But I throw it in another empty pot.

I can't change when the mornin' comes,
I gather up my strength to face the day,
But it's the same as the day before.
What will tomorrow bring, already know,
I get another paycheck for my rent,
It's spent, and now I'm pissed again.
Oh no!

I stop on a dollar,
Cause it's the last one I got
But there it goes again

Do I convince you, do I convince myself?
I break my back just to earn respect.
I get no compensation,
cause I'm on the wrong track.
I'll only tell you, I take my days
I pick apart the good ones from the bad,
Don't seem like things are changin' soon,
And that's too bad.
Just too bad.

Halfway There~The Skoidats

"Follow Me"

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'

Follow me everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear
Cuz as long as no one knows than nobody can care
You're feelin' guilty and I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed and baby I'm not scared
I'm singin'

Won't give you money
I can't give you the sky
You're better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go astray and
We'll be all right if you don't ask me to stay

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'

I am pouring through all the BDSM/ Dominance stories today.....this song keeps running through my head. Maybe if I post it, it will stop:p

Artist : Foo Fighters
Song : All My Life



All my life I've been searching for somethin'
Somethin’ never comes, never leads to nuthin’
Nothin’ satisfies, but I’m getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day,
When it comes around, and it’s taken away
Leaves me with the feelin that I feel the most
And i feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Come down don’t you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my grip
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
One by one hidden up my sleeve, one by one hidden up my sleeve

(2x)
Hey, don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find the believer?
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees

If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I’ve got nothing to hide, on and on I got nothing to hide

(2x)
hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

All my life I've been searching for somethin'
Somethin’ never comes, never leads to nothin’
Nothin’ satisfies, but I’m getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around and it’s taken' away
Leaves me with the feelin that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done onto the next one
Done,Done and i'm onto the next one
Done, Done and i'm onto the next one
Done, i'm Done and i'm onto the next one
Done, Done and i'm onto the next one
Done, Done and i'm onto the next one
Done, Done and i'm onto the next one
Done I'm done and I'm onto the next

DONE! DONE! ONTO THE NEXT ONE DONE
DONE I'M DONE AND I'M ONTO THE NEXT ONE
DONE! DONE! ONTO THE NEXT ONE DONE
DONE! I'M DONE AND I'M ONTO THE NEXT!

hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)

DONE DONE ONTO THE NEXT ONE
DONE I'M DONE AND I'M ONTO THE NEXT...

Another Love Song

You're so impossible
Scream and moan it chills my soul
Don't wanna hear you got left behind
All those times you stayed up and cried
It's no lie
You did it to yourself
Like chewed up gum under my shelf
Don't look surprised
You must have know all along

It's just another love song
Another love song

It's never easy
It's not hard
When you've lost your mind
With you it's sleezy
Don't tell me your worries
I'm sick, I'll leave you blind
Now the time has come
To leave this love that's left you dry
No need to work this out now
Cause you know there's no reason why

It's just another love song
Another love song

I never told you it would last forever
You can't hold this boy for long, dig it
By the time you read my letter
Baby, I'll be gone

You're just another love song
Another love song

makes me feel nostalgic, bittersweet........ most of his stuff does

Boys of Summer~ Henley
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
