fortress

A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress in you head, oh.
A fortress caging in,
unreal behind your grin.
Security is lie,
a fortress caging in untill you die.

-Rage

In a castle dark or a fortress strong,

With chains apon my feet,

You'll know that ghost is me.

Gordon Lightfoot.

chains

Chains!
My Baby's got me locked up in Chains!
And they ain't the kind
That you can see
These chains of love got a hold on me!!

sung by but not written by - The Beatles
(as well as a "girl group" whose name I
cannot recall)

you

Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh I'd die to find out

~ Savage Garden

need

I've been known to tie one on and honkey tonk til half past three
But the party don't get started til my baby pours her love on me
Shes a hundred proof lord she's smooth
She makes me moan all night long
So I don't need the booze to get a buzz on
-I don't need the booze ~ Alan Jackson

lord

O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.

Saint Augustine

Yet

One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but ends up impoverished.

One

I am the only one who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one that will drown in my desires for you

~Melissa Etheridge

I am

There I am in younger days, star gazing. Painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be. Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection, my compass faith in love's perfection... I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen.


- Indigo Girls

Younger Girl keeps rolling across my mind,
No matter how much I try,
I can't seem to leave her memory behind,
I remember her eyes, soft, dark & brown,
Said she'd never been in trouble, or even in town....

- Lovin' Spoonful

Trouble

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face


Elvis

Nobody knows de trouble I seen,

Nobody knows but Jesus.

Nobody knows the trouble I seen,

Glory hallelujah!

Hallelujah

Mine eyes have seen the coming of the Lord
He is tearing down the alley in a black and yellow Ford
One hand on the throttle, the other on a bottle of
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer!!

Glory Glory Hallelujah
Teacher hit me with a ruler
Smacked her in the bean
with a rotten tangerine
(can't remeber the last line!)

Parody of Battle Hymn of the Republic

<sorry gang, I just couldn't resist>

(SS, the last line is "While school is burning down")

Glory
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot,
and I wear my wooly long-johns in the winter when it's not
and sometimes in the springtime,
and sometimes in the fall,
I jump right in between the sheets,
with nothing on at all!

Glory, glory haleluja!
Glory, glory what's it to ya?
Glory, glory haleluja!
With nothing on at all!

Pink

He takes me deep-sea fishing in a submarine
We got to drive-in movies in a limousine
He's got a whirly-birdy and a 12-foot yacht
Ah, but thats-a not all he's got

He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band
