Lyrics on my mind...

[Chinaski]

Awesome song, this; The American Dream, by Hank Williams Jr.

Too many lawyers in football
Baseballs gotta few
The pitcher got a million dollars
And the quarterback he got 2
Pitcher threw his arm away
And the quarterback burned his knee
And this they did so they could live the american dream
Now there are some preachers on tv with a suit and a tie and a vest
They want you to send your money to the lord but they give you their address
Cause all of your donations are completely tax free
God bless you all but most of all send your money
Do you really want it?
Do you really need it?
Ya gotta keep on grindin just ta try ta keep it
Ya got no time for yourself ya got more for jim beam
Your goin crazy dreamin
The american dream
Reagan is a cuttin the budget makin the democrats scream
Says we gotta control inflation quit spendin our money on everything
But this years tax increase why its the biggest in history
Round and a round we go where we stop who knows
The american dream
Do you really want it?
Do you really need it?
Ya gotta keep on grindin just ta try ta keep it
We got no time for ourselves ya got more ba roe jim beam
Your goin crazy dreamin
The american dream
Your goin crazy dreamin
The american dream
Hail to the chief

Big Country - Seven Waves

I don't think too much
I don't look inside
For the things I hid away for all those years
Have faded now or died

So don't you look through me
With those stranger's eyes
For the world keeps turning underneath my feet
If I go on with the lies

So hey baby just you go out tonight
It's only me that cries

And love is waves away
We are waves away
Love is waves away
Seven waves away

That's me down here
Shinin' up your shoes
Keeping my head down like I always do
When you walk in with the blues

There's nothing to be said
Nothing to be done
For I laid myself down at your famous feet
When you said I was the one

Hey baby don't you stay out tonight
And say it isn't fun

And love is waves away
We are waves away
Love is waves away
Seven waves away

The sound that comes from you sleepin'
In the darkness
Is a doorway

Yeah the sun that beats on the window
In the morning
Is a doorway

Yeah the sun that calls through the window
Every morning
Is a doorway

It doesn't hurt any more
It doesn't get me down
But I might just swim out on the waves tonight
And lay right down and drown

Do you really want to be here tonight
Or are you just around?

And love is waves away
We are waves away
Love is waves away
Seven waves away

Kathy's Song
Simon & Garfunkel

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To Scotland where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.

[Thinking Aloud]

This is annoying. There's a song running round in my head right now, relentlessly, but I really can't post the lyrics. Cos I wrote them, and that would be a bit... Um.

Well just be thankfull it isn't this one
The Web........lyrics by D.Dick
The rain auditions at my window, its symphony echoes in my womb
My gaze scans the walls of this apartment
To rectify the confines of my tomb

I'm the cyclops in the tenement, I'm the soul without the cause
Crying 'midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors
Clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floor
Stained by the wine from a shattered glass
Meaningless words, yellowed by time, faded photos exposing pain
Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
You've finished playing hangman, you've cast the fateful dice
Advice, advice, advice me
This shroud will not suffice

And thus begins the web

Attempting to discard these clinging memories
I only serve to wallow in our past
I fabricate the weave with my excuses
Its strands I hope and pray shall last
Oh please do last

The flytrap needs the insects, ivy caresses the wall
Needles make love to the junkies, the sirens seduce with their call
Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me
Confused and rejected, despised and alone
I kiss isolation on its fevered brow
Security clutching me, obscurity threatening me
Your reasons were so obvious
As my friend have qualified, I only laughed away your tears
But even jesters cry

I realise I hold the key to freedom
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made
I realise I hold the key to freedom
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made

Now I leave you, the past does have it's say
You're all but forgotten a mote in my heart
Decisions have been made, decisions have been made
I've conquered my fears, the flaming shroud

Thus ends the web

[Pappa]

This is annoying. There's a song running round in my head right now, relentlessly, but I really can't post the lyrics. Cos I wrote them, and that would be a bit... Um.

Come on man, post them! No room for modesty here.

You and I - Queen

Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering
My heart's jittering
Just you and I
Not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's sunny and bright
No No No
Come tomorrow
Cos then we'll be waiting for the moonlight
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
Please stay a while
You know I never could foresee the future years
You know I never could see
where life was leading me
But will we be together for ever
What will be my love, can't you see that I just don't know
No no not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's gonna be alright
Wait and see
If tomorrow
We'll be as happy as we're feeling tonight
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where to lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight
Just you and I

[Dasein]

CAlifornia ~ Joni Mitchell

Sitting in a park in paris, france
Reading
the news and it sure looks bad
They wont give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldnt want to stay here
Its too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh, but california
California Im coming home
Im going to see the folks I dig
Ill even kiss a sunset pig
California Im coming home

I met a redneck on a grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you, california
Oh california Im coming home
Oh make me feel good rockn roll band
Im your biggest fan
California, Im coming home

Chorus:

Oh it gets so lonely
When youre walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues

So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading rolling stone, reading vogue
They said, how long can you hang around?
I said a week, maybe two,
Just until my skin turns brown
Then Im going home to california
California Im coming home
Oh will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California Im coming home

Chorus:

Oh it gets so lonely
When youre walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
More about the war
And the bloody changes
Oh will you take me as l am?
Will you take me as l am?
Will you?

My Sweet Lady
John Denver

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun

Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you

Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never, ever loved before

[Feck]

"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 it's 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 it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

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

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

[Achtland]

you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind

[Dasein]

And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you'll ever need
That's how you fight it

Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time

[Achtland]

[Thinking Aloud]

(Moody Blues)

We're living in a land of make-believe,
And trying not to let it show,
Maybe in that land of make-believe,
Heartache can turn into joy.

We're breathing in the smoke of high and low,
We're taking up a lot of room,
Somewhere in the dark and lonely night,
Our prayer will be heard, make it soon.

So fly little bird,
Up into the clear blue sky,
And carry the word,
Love's the only reason why, why...

Open all the shutters on your windows,
Unlock all the locks upon your doors,
Brush away the cobwebs from your daydreams,
No secrets come between us any more.

Oh say it's true,
Only love can see you though,
You know what love can do to you.
