Rodgers & Hammerstein

Don't throw bouquets at me, don't please my folks too much,

Don't laugh at my jokes too much, people will say we're in love.

Don't sigh and gaze at me, your sighs are so like mine,

Your eyes mustn't glow like mine, people will say we're in love.

Don't start collecting things, give me my rose and my glove,

Sweetheart, they're suspecting things, people will say we're in love.

Don't praise my charm to much, don't look so vain with me,

Don't stand in the rain with me, people will say we're in love.

Don't take my arm too much, don't keep your hand in mine,

You hand feels go grand in mine, people will say we're in love.

Don't dance all night with me, till the stars fade out of sight,

They'll see it's alright with me, people will say we're in love.

Cole Porter

Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
as it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When the summer show'r is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you

Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and sun
Whether near me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day
Day and night

Why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Night and day under the hide of me
There's an Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be trough
'Till you spent my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day

This may be posted already but I really listened to it yesterday and love it!


Broken by Seether

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

amazing song

~California~ Pat Green

Hello, California
Sure is strange to be here today
What's a boy from down in Austin
Doing in a city of angels anyway

So won't you come on out here with me
Find out what you can and cannot see
Maybe gain a new perspective
Why we're so infected by our dreams

Chorus:
yeah, baby I'll be out here dreaming
Thinking about the life we could have
Your're back home in Texas,
I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when is the next time I get to hold you
I just want to hold you

It's the sweetest kind of poision
Tickle you and take away your faith
Whiskey for a lifetime
Wreck your soul with the smallest little taste

Chorus:
yeah, baby I'll be out here dreaming
Thinking about the life we could have
Your're back home in Texas,
I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when is the next time I get to hold you
I just want to hold you

I am just a guitar man who fell in love with you
Times are good or bad I take them all the same
You could have some nine-to-five man coming home to take your hand
You know he's never gonna do

Is this the life I dreamed of
Or is this just the way it all went down
But damn right I sure am happy
A crazy piece of life that I have found

Chorus:
yeah, baby I'll be out here dreaming
Thinking about the life we could have
Your're back home in Texas,
I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when is the next time I get to hold you
I just want to hold you

Leaning on a Lappost ~ George Formby

I’m leaning on a lamp, maybe you think I look a tramp,
Or you may think I’m hanging round to steal a car.
But no, I’m not a crook, and if you think that’s what I look,
I’ll tell you why I’m here and what my motives are.

I’m leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by,
Oh me, oh my, I hope that little lady comes by.
I don’t know if she’ll get away, she doesn’t always get away,
But anyhow I know that she’ll try,
Oh me, oh my, I hope that little lady comes by.

There’s no other girl I could wait for,
This one I’d break any date for,
I won’t have to ask what she’s late for.
She wouldn’t leave me flat, she’s not a girl like that.
Oh she’s absolutely wonderful and marvellous and beautiful,
And anyone can understand why,
I’m leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street,
In case a certain little lady comes by.

give it a sexy swat for me, k?

When you say nothing at all
Ronan Keating


It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you light up the dark.
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand, says you'll catch me wherever ever I fall.
Now, you say it best when you say nothing at all.

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd.
Try as the may, they could never define,
What's being said between your heart and mine.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me.
A touch of your hand, says you'll catch me if ever I fall.
Yeah, you say it best when you say nothing at all.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me.
A touch of your hand, says you'll catch me if ever I fall.
Now, you say it best when you say nothing at all...

Swats Lil's sexy ass... and breaks out wit sum...

Eric B. and Rakim ~ Mahogany

Me and Eric b was coolin' at the Palladium
Seen an all-world covered girl, I said "Hey lady I’m
sorry if you're in a rush - don't let me hold ya up
or intervene or interrupt, but. . .
You got the look - I wanna get to know ya better"
I had to let her know - but yo, I didn't sweat her
'Cause if you woulda seen what I was seein'
Almost looked Korean, but European.
When she spoke, her accent was self-explanatory -
Even her body language told the story
Her name was Mahogany - twin's name was Ebony
I said "my name is Ra - and this is Eric b"
Since the music was loud, I said "let's take a walk,
So we could talk and see New York.
Show time doesn't start until one o'clock
And once I entered your mind I wouldn't wanna stop
Caressin' ya thoughts till we was thinkin' the same
Calm ya nerves, massage ya brain
Each mic is a mineral, poetry's protein
Verse is a vitamin - affects like codeine
So tell me how you feel and i'll reveal
A pill that'll heal ya pain - 'cause I’m real
She musta o-d'd 'cause she couldn't resist
She spoke slowly when she told me this, she said


Over me, she's goin' crazy
She'll rub me on my chest and call me Mr. sexy
She said she'd have my kids and help me make my next G
Tell me I ain't finesse Mahogany . . .


So I prescribed her, something to revive
And surprise her, she's liver and much more wiser
Than the light I shine when my brain cells spark,
Come to me so we can glow in the dark
And soon, you can represent the moon
As long as I keep ya in tune
I'll tell ya who ya are and why ya here
Take it in stride 'cause it might take a year
It's funny - how time flies when ya havin' fun
We got close and it was almost one
She kissed me slow, but you know how far a kiss can go
Fuck around and miss the show
So I told her to hold that thought real tight
We can finish where we left off later on tonight
Back to the scene of the crime on time
As they introduced the 'fiend of the rhyme'
She stood with a birds-eye view of me
Thinkin' of later on of what she would do to me
The back of the room I could see her eyes gloom
Patient, but hopin' that the show was over soon
As the place was ripped in half, she made her way to the front row
So I said "let's go"
I packed my mic as they screamed for an encore
The speakers were blown, plus my mic was sore
Besides I got places to go, ladies to see
And she could tell me how crazy she was over me
We drove off - she said she liked the way that I performed
And couldn't wait to get 'soft and warm', I said,
"I’ve been watchin' you, watchin' me
Looks I received made it hard to emcee
I can take a hint, so I knew that she
Wanted my "agony agony ag-on-y" in her bod-y
Showed her some sights, then I took her to the condo
She was pipin' hot, but I kept my calm so
She asked how come I don't smile
I said, "Everything’s fine, but I’m in a New York state of mind"
As we reached the kingdom, she said bring some
Champagne, she'll entertain then sing some
Sentimental, songs real gentle,
It hit the spot and you know where it went to
As we embraced I felt her heart pumpin'
I knew she was in the mood for somethin'
So I laid on my back and relaxed
It wasn't the Perignon that made her collapse
Over me


Over me, she's goin' crazy
She'll rub me on my chest and call me Mr. sexy
She said she'd have my kids and help me make my next G
Tell me I ain't finesse Mahogany . . .

For Denny-

(van morrison)

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do

For the morning sun in all it’s glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do

There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
Take away all my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
Take away all my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do

You'll Accompany Me Lyrics ~ Bob Seger


A gypsey wind is blowin warm tonight
the sky is starlit and the time is right
and still your tellin me you have to go
before you leave there's somethin you should know

yeah
something you should know babe

I've seen you smilin in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flyin when you run
i've made my mind up that its meant to be
someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

someday lady you'll acomp'ny me
out where rivers meet the soundin sea
your high above me now your wild and free
oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
someday lady you'll accomp'ny me yeah

ohh

Some people say that love's a losin game
you start with fire but you lose the flame.
the ashes smolder but the warmths soon gone
you end cold and loneley own your own

Ill take my chances babe i'll risk it all
i'll win your love or i'll take the fall
ive made my mind up girl its meant to be,
someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

someday lady you'll acomp'ny me
it's written down somewhere its got to be
your high above flyin wild and free
oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
someday lady you'll accomp'ny me yeah

someday lady you'll acomp'ny me
out where rivers meet the soundin sea
i feel it in my soul its meat to be
oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
someday lady you'll accomp'ny me yeah

And let us not forget the timeless classic.....


Tone Loc's Funky Cold Medina!

Alright, dig it

[ VERSE 1 ]
Cold coolin at a bar, and I'm lookin for some action
But like Mike Jagger said, I can't get no satisfaction
The girls are all around, but none of them wanna get with me
My threads are fresh and I'm lookin def, yo, what's up with L-o-c?
The girls is all jockin at the other end of the bar
Havin drinks with some no-name chump, when they know that I'm the star
So I got up and strolled over to the other side of the cantina
I asked the guy, "Why you so fly?" he said, "Funky Cold Medina"

Funky Cold Medina

[ VERSE 2 ]
This brother told me a secret on how to get more chicks
Put a little Medina in your glass, and the girls'll come real quick
It's better than any alcohol or aphrodisiac
A couple of sips of this love potion, and she'll be on your lap
So I gave some to my dog when he began to beg
Then he licked his bowl and he looked at me and did the wild thing on my leg :sex:
He used to scratch and bite me, before he was much much meaner
But now all the poodles run to my house for the Funky Cold Medina

You know what I'm sayin?
I got every dog in my neighborhood breakin down my door
I got Spuds McKenzie
Alex from Stroh's
They won't leave my dog alone with that Medina, pal

[ VERSE 3 ]
I went up to this girl, she said, "Hi, my name is Sheena"
I thought she'd be good to go with a little Funky Cold Medina
She said, "I'd like a drink," I said, "Ehm - ok, I'll go get it"
Then a couple sips she cold licked her lips, and I knew that she was with it
So I took her to my crib, and everything went well as planned
But when she got undressed, it was a big old mess, Sheena was a man :eek:
So I threw him out, I don't fool around with no Oscar Meyer wiener
You must be sure that the girl is pure for the Funky Cold Medina

You know, ain't no plans with a man
This is the 80's, and I'm down with the ladies :boobs:
Ya know?

Break it down

[ VERSE 4 ]
Back in the saddle, lookin for a little affection
I took a shot as a contestant on _The Love Connection_
The audience voted, and you know they picked a winner
I took my date to the Hilton for Medina and some dinner
She had a few drinks, I'm thinkin soon what I'll be gettin
Instead she started talkin 'bout plans for our weddin
I said, "Wait, slow down, love, not so fast says, I'll be seein ya"
That's why I found you don't play around with the Funky Cold Medina

Ya know what I'm sayin
That Medina's a monster, y'all

Feels like today ~ Rascal Flatts~

Woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me that I can't explain
like a weight that I've carried
Been carried away, away

But I know something is coming
I don't know what it is
But I know it's amazing, you save me
My time is coming
And I'll find my way out of this longest drought...

It feels like today I know
It feels like today I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missin'
The one thing I'm wishin'
Life's sacred blessin' and then
It feels like today
Feels like today

You treat life like a picture
But it's not a moment thats frozen in time
It's not gonna wait
Til you make up your mind, at all

So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel
Keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure, that's my heartache
Soon this dam will break

And it feels like today I know,
it feels like today, I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin' and then,
It feels like today

Feels like, feels like your life changes
Feels like, feels like your life changes

It's the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin' and then,
It feels like today

Feels like, feels like your life changes
Feels like, feels like your life changes

The Woman With You by Kenny Chesney
She hit the door, 6:55
Sack full of groceries split down the side
Canned goods scattered all the way to the curb
Look on her face sayin "don't say a word"
So it's me and her and a can of beans
Sittin there on the front porch swing
A western sky all turnin red
Head on my shoulder, she sighed and said

I've been gopherin, chaufferin, company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man
That I don't do
I been jugglin, strugglin, closin big deals
Dancin backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can't make it through
She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman with you

She said, the girl I was with a business degree
Probably wouldn't recognize me
I was gonna run the bank, I was gonna run the math
Now all I wanna run is a bubble bath
Back then, ya know, I had this plan
Before all this reality set in
Here come life, boy, ready or not
Hey, I wanted it all and that's what I got

Cuz I'm gopherin, chaufferin, company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man
That I don't do
I been jugglin, strugglin, closin big deals
Dancin backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can't make it through
She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman with you

She said, I'm gopherin, chaufferin, company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man
That I don't do
I been jugglin, strugglin, closin big deals
Dancin backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can't make it through
She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman, the woman with you
The woman with you

Under Pressure ~ Queen

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay

Chippin' around
Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours

People on streets
People on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher high
Pressure on people
People on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

I like this one!!!

~With Arms Wide Open~ Creed

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close 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...

Frank Sinatra & George Burns - Sunday, Monday or Always Lyrics


Sunday, monday or tuesday, wednesday, thursday or friday
I want you near, every day in the year
Oh, won't you tell me when we will meet again
Sunday, monday or always
If you're satisfied, I'll be at your side
Sunday, monday or always
No need to tell me now what makes the world go around
When at the sight of you, my heart begins to pound and pound
And what am I to do, can't I be with you
Sunday, monday or always

Always and forever I must be with you
Beginning sunday and monday and then forever
Oh, won't you tell me when we will meet again
Sunday, monday or always
If you're satisfied, I'll be at your side
Sunday, monday or always
No need to tell me now what makes the world go around
When at the sight of you, my heart begins to pound, pound, pound
What am I to do, can't I be with you
Sunday, monday or always

Ani DiFranco - Untouchable Face


think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you

i could make you happy, you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

2:30 in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
safe haven of the sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down the top 20 country songs

out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
you know i really don't look forward
to seeing you again soon.

you look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
i won't know what to do
i won't know what to say

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will i think of next
where can i hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

With or Without You ~ U2

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you


Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you


With or without you
With or without you


Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you


With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you


And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away


My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose


And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away


With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you


With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

MoneyTalks AC/DC



Tailored suits, chauffered cars
Fine hotels and big cigars
Up for grabs, up for a price
Where the red hot girls keep on dancing through the night
The claim is in you
The sights are on me
So what do you do
That's guaranteed
Hey little girl, you want it all
The furs, the diamonds, the painting on the wall

Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk
Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk

A French maid, foreign chef
A big house with king size bed
You've had enough, you ship them out
The dollar's up-down, you'd better buy the pound
The claim is on you
The sights are on me

Shelter From the Storm ~ Bob Dylan

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

High and Dry ~ Radiohead

Two jumps in a week,
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror,
you're turning into something you are not

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation,
you'll be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
when you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit on you,
you'll be the one screaming out

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Oh, it's the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing that you ever, ever had.
It's the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing you have had has gone away.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high,
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

This song makes me think of The Gunslinger...

Behind Blue Eyes ~ The Who

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

omg! REMINDS YOU? it's like it was written for him. i never made that connection before and yet it's perfect for him.

the winmills of your mind (various artists...my fav, sting)

like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel
like a snowball down a mountain
or a carnival balloon
like a carousel that’s turning
running rings around the moon

like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its face
and the world is like an apple
whirling silently in space
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind !

like a tunnel that you follow
to a tunnel of its own
down a hollow to a cavern
where the sun has never shone,
like a door that keeps revolving
in a half forgotten dream,
or the ripples from a pebble
someone tosses in a stream

like a clock whose hands are sweeping ....

keys that jingle in your pocket
words that jangle in your head
why did summer go so quickly ?
was it something that you said ?
lovers walk along a shore
and leave their footprints in the sand


is the sound of distant drumming
just the fingers of your hand ?
pictures hanging in a hallway
and the fragment of this song
half remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong ?

he: when you knew
that it was over
you were suddenly aware
that the autumn leaves were turning
to the color
of her hair !

she: when you knew
that it was over
in the autumn of goodbyes
for a moment
you could not recall the color
of his eyes !

like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel

as the images unwind
like the circles
that you find
in the windmills of your mind

wyndhy
The Association


Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's wyndhy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's wyndhy

And wyndhy has stor-my eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And wyndhy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

------ flute ------

And wyndhy has stor-my eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And wyndhy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's wyndhy
[repeat and fade]

by The Cure
"You look like you could do with a friend," she said.
"You look like you could use a hand,
someone to make you smile," she said.
"Someone who can understand
share your trouble
hold you close
and I can do all of these.
I think you need me here with you."

"You look like you could do with a sister," she said.
"You look like you need a girl to call your own...
like fabulous! fabulous!
call me fabulous!"
and rubbing her hands so slow
"You stare at me all strange," she said.
"Are you hungry for more?"
"I've had enough," I said.
"Pease leave me alone.
Please go."

It doesn't touch me at all
It doesn't touch me at all

"You know that you could do with a friend," she said.
"You know that you could use a word
like feel or follow or fuck," she said.
and laughing away as she turned
"You've everything but no-one
like the last man on earth."
"And when I die," I said
I'll leave you it all."
door closes
leave me cold

It doesn't touch me at all
It doesn't touch me at all

"You really do need a sister," she said
"You really do need a girl to call your own...
like wonderful! wonderful!
call me wonderful!"
and running her hands so slow
"You stare at me all strange," she said
"Are you hungry for more?"
"I've had enough," I said.
"Please leave me alone."
please go
please go
