Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed. It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance. It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance. It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give. And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live. When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long, And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong, Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows, Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose. Bette Midler The Rose+ Humor:ah, memoriesIts rather dull in town I think Ill take me to Paris, Ths missus wants to up the castle in Capris, Me doctor recommends a quiet summer by the sea.

Thomas, hey, I think I see the light. I was born tonight. Ive had a hard time leaving this town. Ive been losing everything that Ive found. Im gonna search the sky, kiss the ground, build it up, and tear it back down. Ive had a hard time leaving this place. Ive been counting all the lines on my face. Im gonna curse the sky, hit the ground, and what goes up comes tumbling down. Jimmy, show me how you play that thing. Elvis, will I ever be a king? And, Jerry, all the joy and love you bring.

I cant stand the sound. Your pain is painful, and its tearing me down. I hear glasses breaking, as I sit up in my bed. I told Dad you didnt mean those nasty things you said. You fight about money, `bout me and my brother. And this I come home to, this is my shelter. It aint easy growing up in World War Three. Never knowing what love could be. You see, I dont want love to destroy me like it has done my family. Pink Family portrait+ Romance: this is BEFORE mtv met john. you know, back when we had a close personal relationshipWeve got the afternoon. Youve got this room for two. One thing Ive left to do. Discover me, discovering you. One mile to every inch of your skin like porcelain. One pair of candy lips and your bubble gum tongue. And if you want love, well make it. Swim in a deep sea of blankets. Now take all your big plans and break them. This is bound to be a while. Your body is a wonderland. Your body is a wonderland.(Ill use my hands.) Your body is a wonderland. Something bout the way the hair falls in your face. I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase. You tell me where to go, and, though I might leave to find it,Ill never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it. You want love, well make it. Swim in a deep sea of blankets. Now take all your big plans and break them. This is bound to be a while. Your body is a wonderland. Your body is a wonderland. (Ill use my hands.) Your body is a wonderland. Damn baby, you frustrate me. I know youre mine all mine all mine. But you look so good it hurts sometimes. John Mayer Your body is a wonderland+ Distance: you can never lose with styxIm sailing away. Set an open course for the virgin sea. Cause Ive got to be free, free to face the life thats ahead me. On board Im a captain, so climb aboard. Well search for tomorrow on every shore. And, Ill try, oh lord, Ill try to carry on. I look to the sea. Reflections in the waves spark my memories. Some happy, some sad. I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had. We lived forever, so the story goes. But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold. But well try best that we can to carry on.Styx Come Sail Away+Angerdear, dear poeJohnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell I wanna kill you, I wanna blow you...away I can do it you gently I can do it with an animal's grace I can do it with precision I can do it with gourmet taste Chorus: But either way Either (way), either way I wanna kill you I wanna blow you...

I dont mean a big reduction in the price of beer. But all the people that you made in your image, see them starving on their feet, cause they dont get enough to eat from God. I cant believe in you. Dear God, sorry to disturb you but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears. And all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting in the street, cause they cant make opinions meet about God. I cant believe in you.Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too. Dear God, dont know if you noticed, but, your name is on a lot of quotes in this book. Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look. And all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk is true. Well, I know it aint and so do you. Dear God, I cant believe in, I dont believe in, I wont believe in Heaven and Hell, no saints no sinners no devil as well. No pearly gates, no phony crown, youre always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown, those lost at sea and never found. And its the same the whole world round. The hurt I see helps to compound. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax. And if you're up there, you perceivethat my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in... it's you, dear God.XTC Dear God+ Make you reminisce the most:*tear*... such vivid images of this song still. europe, can we be bff?Lost in the Milky Way,smile at the empty sky and wait forthe moment a million chances may all collide.I'll be the guiding light,swim to me through stars that shine down,and call to the sleeping World as they fall to Earth.So here's your life,we'll find our way,we're sailing blind,but it's certain nothing's certain.I don't mind,I get the feelingyou'll be fine,I still believethat in this World,we've got to find the time...for the Life of Riley.From cradles and sleepless nights,you breathe in life forever,and stare at the World from deep under eiderdown.Although this World is a crazy ride,you just take your seat and hold on tight.So here's your life,we'll find our way,we're sailing blind,but it's certain nothing's certain.I don't mind,I get the feelingyou'll be fine,I still believethat in this World,we've got to find the time...for the first timeThe Lightning Seeds The life of Riley+ Have hit you as poetryobligatory audrey hepburn referenceMoon riverWider than a mileI'm crossing you in styleSome day...Old dream makerYou heart breakerWherever you're goingI'm going your way...Two driftersOff to see the worldThere's such a lot of worldTo see...We're after the same rainbow's endWaiting around the bendMy Huckleberry friendMoon River and me...Audrey Hepburn (it was written for her) Moon River+ Have defined exactly what you felt when you thought no one could:she still says it better than i could ever hope to. i will marry you one day, fionaI was staring at the sky, just looking for a starTo pray on, or wish on, or something like thatI was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boyWhose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be hadBut then the dove of hope began its downward slopeAnd I believed for a moment that my chancesWere approaching to be grabbedBut as it came down near, so did a weary tear-I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it killsCuz I know Im a mess he dont wanna clean upI got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to loveAnd I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climbLooking for a little hopeBaby said he couldnt stay, wouldnt put his lips to mine,And a fail to kiss is a fail to copeI said, Honey, I dont feel so good, dont feel justifiedCome on put a little love here in my void, He said Its all in your head, and I said, Sos everything -But he didnt get it - I thought he was a manBut he was just a little boy-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it killsCuz I know Im a mess he dont wanna clean upI got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it killsCuz I know Im a mess he dont wanna clean upI got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to loveFiona Apple-"Paper Bag" |
