Man, such good songs!!!

One Thing ~ Finger Eleven

Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

Just a few that have touched my heart lately...some skip liked and some he'd *shrug*

Title: Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me


Duet with Elton John

I can't light no more of your darkness
all my pictures seam to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
frozen here on the ladder of my life

it's much to late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed the way of life
but you misread my meaning when I met you
closed the door and left me blinded by the light

chorus
Don't let the sun go down on me
although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
but losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find oh, the right romantic line
but see me once and see the way I feel
don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
but these cuts I have, oh they need love to help them heal

chorus

This is pretty sad...and is hard to post...but here goes

Title: Disappearing Boy


Now you see me now you don't
Don't ask me where I'm at
'Cause I'm a million miles away
Treated like a forbidden heel
Don't say my thoughts are not for real
Or you won't see me again
Am I here or am I there
Or am I playing on the stairs
Am I in my room with my toys
I am the disappearing boy
When I walk in crowded rooms
I feel as if it is my doom
I know that I don't belong
In that room I see her
I see her & she's with him
I turn and then I'm gone
Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home
My whereabouts are now unknown
I vanished from all your joy
I'm the disappearing boy
I have my doubts
Of where I belong
It's something to think about

It speaks for itself...

Title: Rest


Hey can you hear me?
I'm calling your name
Hello? or is this goodbye?
The gleam in your eyes
It troubles my brain
Will I see it again
So I can rest my head
Angel! Dancing away
As all of my thoughts are rearranged
Angel! turning away
To have changed
So I can rest my head

I sang this at my brother's memorial...and I post it here for skip...

Title: Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)


Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it´s worth, it was worth all the while

It´s something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life.
It´s something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life.
It´s something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

He'll be laughing at this one...

Title: Buddy Holly



What's with these homies, dissin' my girl
Why do they gotta front
What did we ever do to these guysi
That made them so violent
Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moorei
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that

Don't you ever fear, I'm always there
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian

Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moorei
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that

Bang! Bang a knock on the door
another big bang and your down on the floori
Oh no! what do I do?
Don't look know but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
What's a matter babe are you feelin' sick?
what's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue? oh-oh!

Last one...for old times sake...

Title: Times Like These (One-Way Motorway)


I am a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away
then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I'm a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
to hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
do I stay or run away
and leave it all behind?

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

so cliche forgive me but it just came on the radio and he loved Clapton

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.

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.

I was out walking with my headset on, blaring, pounding the pavement, walking around the big green lush cowpasture with it's black and chocolate brown cows and calves. Try to just walk, and not think....not think. Then this song comes on...and I think "God I hate this fucking song" . All I can hear is thunder rolling in the distance and the damn song. Finally I can hold it in no longer, and as the first tears start streaming, I am startled by a huge hawk swooping so low I can almost touch him. Wings spread out wide, as he heads out across the open meadow to a tall old majestic oak. I've never see one like that, he was beautiful.....

I will remember you
will you remember me
dont let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories

remember the good times, that we had
dont let them slip away from us when things got bad
clearly i first saw you, smiling in the sun
i feel your warmth around me
i want to be the one

im so tired i cant sleep
standing on the edge of something much too deep
funny how we feel so much but cannot say the words
we are screaming inside oh but we cant be heard

so afraid to love you more afraid to loose
clinging to the past that doesn't let me chose
once there was a darkness a deep and endless night
gave me everything you had oh it gave me light

I will remember you
will you remember me
dont let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories...

(((((LILITH)))))) that is beautiful! I like that song, I have heard it a couple times it seems this week. Always keep the memories fresh and close to heart!

HUGS TO YOU

ADDICTED TO LOVE
Robert Palmer

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love


Might as well face it, you're addicted to love....



Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love


Might as well face it, you're addicted to love...

Took a sad song of one sweet evening
I smiled and quickly turned away.
It's not easy singing sad songs
but still the easiest way I have to say.
So when you look into the sun
and see the things we haven't done --
oh was it better then to run
than to spend the summer crying.
Now summer cannot come anyway.

I had waited for time to change her.
The only change that came was over me.
She pretended not to want love --
I hope she was only fooling me.
So when you look into the sun
look for the pleasures nearly won.
Or was it better then to run
than to spend the summer singing.
And summer could have come in a day.

So if you hear my sad song singing
remember who and what you nearly had.
It's not easy singing sad songs
when you can sing the song to make me glad.
So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung:
It's not too late, only begun,
we can still make summer.
Yes, summer always comes anyway.

So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung:
It's not too late, only begun.
Look into the sun.

Great song, Lion...a Jethro Tull song from one of their early albums, for those who don't know or weren't around then ;)
