On April 20th 1987, U2 recorded live at Los Angeles, Sports Arena "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" with Bob Dylan on backing vocals. Bob Dylan was later to say.......that U2's cover of his song, was the best he heard.

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
"You just better start sniffin' your own
rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just you
against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't
be luck if you could get out of life alive"
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

(just to prove a point.....hehehe)

I absolutely agree.....and it has been posted a couple of times(as it should be).......I play it almost everyday. Excellent choice!:)

In 1991 Guns N' Roses recorded a version of it......which is an infinite number of times better :D

I've told you this once before
Can't control me
If you try to take me down
You're going to break
I feel your every "nothing" that you're doing for me
I'm thinking you ought to make your own way

I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone

You're always hiding behind your so-called goddess
So what
You don't think that we can see your face
Been resurrected back before the final falling
And I'll never rest until I can make my own way
(I'm not afraid of fading)

I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone

And now it's my time
(Now it's my time)
It's my time to dream
(It's my time to dream)
Dream of the skies
(Dream of the skies)
Make me believe that this place isn't plagued by the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe
Breathe into me

I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside

Godsmack.......I Stand Alone.....

for my baby......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
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, 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
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...

:-X

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...

Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...

Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

OK I'm ALL yours ;)

Love Stinks -- The J. Geils Band

You love her, but she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
And so it goes till the day you die
This thing they call love is gonna make you cry
I've had the blues, the reds, and the pinks
One thing's for sure
Love stinks

(Chorus)
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah

Two-by-two and side-by-side
Love's gonna find you, yes it is
You just can't hide
You'll hear it call your heart will fall
Then love will fly, it's gone that's all
I don't care for any things
All I can say is
Love stinks
(Chorus)

I've been through diamonds
And I've been through minks
I've been through it all
Love stinks
(Chorus)
(Chorus)

OK OK I don't really think Love stinks it's a great thing !!

Bread - Make It With You

Hey, have you ever tried
really reaching out for the other side?
I'm maybe climbing on rainbows but baby we'll go.

Dreams, they're for those who sleep, life is for us to keep
and if you're wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.


Ooooh! you don't know me well
and every little thing more the time we'll take
if you believe the things I do and we'll see it through.


Life can be short or long, love can be right or wrong
and if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'll like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.


Baby you know that, dreams they're for those who sleep
life is for us to keep
and if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'll like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Hmmmmmmmmmm?????

Title: Baby


I've got this jones formin in my bones
from a man
who indeed took over my soul
understand
I couldn't breathe if he ever said
he would leave
get on my knees til they bloody red
beggin please
see I don't know if you get it yet
just don't know
he's like a lighter to my cigarette
watch me smoke
I never knew another human life
didn' t know
could have the power to take over mine
so baby

Baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby
I love it when I hear your name
got me sayin
baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby

See I can never feel alone with you
in my life
I'll give up everything I own for you
won't think twice
almost ashamed how I'm mesmerised
such a shame
I lose my thought lookin in your eyes
I know why
because your kisses make my lips quiver
and that's real
and when you touch me my whole body shivers
I can feel
now I can see how another life
another life
could have the power to take over mine
cause you're my

Baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you
baby baby baby baby baby
I love it when I hear your name
got me sayin
baby baby baby baby baby
baby I love you

Different mix......

Title: That's How love Moves


It's such a mystery
How he found something in me
That I never knew was there
But he uncovered it so easily
He turned me like a season, and I began to change
He wrapped his arms around me
Now i'll never be the same

CHORUS:
That's how love works
That's how love moves
Like a river running through you
Sometimes it lifts you
As high as heaven

It consumes you
That's a given
That's how love moves

I've seen walls that could never be broken
Come tumbling down
I've heard the voice of a love calling
Without making a sound
See, I was touched by an angel
The day he took my hand
And you know, he's the miracle
That makes me everything I am

CHORUS:

Learning To Live With Me
~Gary Allan~

I used to wish that I was
Great as any man
Better than I am
Could do things no one can
And I used to wish that I was cool as I could be
But now I'm learning to live with me

Is anybody satisfied with who they really are
You could be the moon
And still be jealous of the stars
You gotta' learn to swim
If you can't walk upon the sea
So I'm learning to live with me

And I used to wish that I was
Braver than the rest
A hero nothin' less
A big duke in the west
But I know the way I am is who I'm gonna be
So I'm learning to live with me

Is anybody satisfied with who they really are
You could be the moon
And still be jealous of the stars
You gotta' learn to swim
If you can't walk upon the sea
So I'm learning to live

Learning to forgive
Learning to live with me

Don't Take The Girl
~Tim McGraw~

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave her behind
Son, I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind
And Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please don't take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm Said "If you do what I tell you to, there
won't be any harm" And Johnny said "Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please don't take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's going to be a little one, and she says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fading fast and Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please don't take the girl

Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old

And Let's not forget........

Title: Interstate Love Song



Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
for what I read between the lines,
your lies.
feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh or does it cry?
reply?
Leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me

Breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye

Leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things I said to you
