So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

In the pub I was in earlier, this song was played. It seemed appropriate to the day, somehow.

Pink Houses by John Mellencamp

There’s a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighbourhood
He’s got an interstate runnin’ through his front yard
You know, he think, that he’s got it so good
And there’s a woman in the kitchen cleanin’ up the evening slop
And he looks at her and says: hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock

Oh but ain’t that America for you and me
Ain’t that America we’re something to see baby
Ain’t that America, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Well there’s a young man in a t-shirt
Listening to a rockin’ rollin’ station
He’s got a greasy hair, greasy smile
He says: lord, this must be my destination
’cuz they told me, when I was younger
Boy, you’re gonna be president
But just like everyting else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went

Oh but ain’t that America for you and me
Ain’t that America we’re something to see baby
Ain’t that America, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Well there’s people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the gulf of mexico
Ohhh yeah
And there’s winners, and there’s losers
But they ain’t no big deal
’cuz the simple man baby pays for the thrills,
The bills and the pills that kill

Oh but ain’t that America for you and me
Ain’t that America we’re something to see baby
Ain’t that America, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Oh but ain’t that America for you and me
Ain’t that America we’re something to see baby
Ain’t that America, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
 
"Crying Out"~ Shinedown

Don't use a weakness,
Don't change the subject,
Don't ask the questions if you fear the answer..
You look distorted,
Lets make you clearer,
Lets flip the switch and use the smoke and mirrors....

Re-invent yourself today..
Re-invent your world today..

Crying out for the last time,
Clear a space for the warning signs,
Crying out for the last time,
And there's no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind..

What guides your vision?
What holds the balance?
Don't think that I can't see you shake and tremble...
Well I know your nervous~ this world is scary..
You have to let go of all the madness you carry..

Re-invent yourself today..
Re-invent your world today..


There is no turning back now..
Everything you've ever wanted..
Everything in this moment..
There is no turning back now..

Crying.. out...
Crying for the last time..
Crying... out...
Crying for the last time...
 
Ace of Spades - Motorhead

Metallica...I always thought you were the coolest Tatelou...but now I know you are. :rose:

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
you win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
the Ace of Spades
the Ace of Spades
Playin' for the high one, dancin' with the devil
going with the flow, it's all a game to me
7 or 11, snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit, double stake or split
the Ace of Spades
the Ace of Spades
You know I'm born to lose
and gamblin's made for fools
But that's the way I like it baby
I don't want to live forever
and don't forget the joker
Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me
read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be
the Ace of Spades
the Ace of Spades

Don't Wanna Know
Toby Lightman

You're no less than perfect
But you're more than real
You're untouchable
How does it make you feel

And I'm waiting in line to be near you
And I can't believe my eyes
The kisses are all blown to you every time

Chorus:
But I'd rather leave you
Than see through the fantasy
And I'd rather stay shy and get high
On what could be
I don't wanna know what you do, where you go
I don't wanna know, who you really are

A glistening smile
A twinkle in your eye
Well I can smile like that
Just give me a try

And I've traveled around just to hear you
And your songs don't leave my mind
So tell me what I should do
To get you to say hi

Chorus

And I've traveled around just to hear you
And your songs don't leave my mind
So tell me what I should do

Chorus
 
I'm a fool for you, V

Led Zeppelin ~ Fool in the Rain

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for a night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right, yeah, it's all right, all right

And if you promised you'd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby
What ever happened to you
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin' here feeling blue, blue
Ha, yeah, I'm blue, hoh, baby

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around, 'round
The clock on the wall's moving slower
Oh, my heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Ohhhh, that I found

Hey babe

Oooh, hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over

Oooh, tired of the light
I just don't seem to find
Have you wait, get away

Whoa oooh, I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you
You I gotta get it all
Gotta get it all, gotta get it all
I've got to get all

(Guitar Solo)

Ooh, now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet, ohh
I've got no reason to doubt you baby
It's all a terrible mess
An' I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, ohhhhhh yeah
Hey now, ohhhhhh-hoh

Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love, hey now
Light of the love, hey now
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
 
John Mellencamp's been dancing in my mind all night.

So, Jack and Diane.

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin´ up in the heartland
Jackie´s gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of Jackie´s car

Suckin´ on chilli dogs outside the tastee freeze
Diane sittin´ on Jackie´s lap
He´s got his hands between her knees
Jackie say, hey Diane let´s run off
Behind a shady tree
Dribble off those bobby brooks
Let me do what I please
And Jackie say a

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin´ is gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin´ is gone they walk on

Jackie sits back reflects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and does his best james dean
Well you know Diane we oughtta run of the city
Diane says, baby you ain´t miss no-thing
Jackie say a

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin´ is gone
Oh yeah life goes on

Hold on to 16 as lang as you can
Changes comin´ round real soon
Make us women and men

JESUS WROTE A BLANK CHECK
~Cake

Jesus wrote a blank check,
One I haven’t cashed quite yet.
I hope I’ve got a little more time.
I hope it’s not the end of the line.
Yeah, Jesus wrote a blank check.
One I haven’t cashed yet, all right.

But if I had to choose a number,
I’d want it to be number one.
I don’t want to be number two.
Yeah, I don’t want to be number four.
But I can hear a knock on the door.
Jesus wrote a blank check, all right.

If Jesus saw me dying,
Would angels come a flying down?
I hope I’ve got a little more time.
I hope somebody lends me a dime.
Now, Jesus wrote a blank check.
Ah, one I haven’t cashed yet.

Still I build my towers high.
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky.
Still I wallow in the mire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.

Still I build my towers high.
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky.
Still I wallow in the mire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
 
I've been having this one go through my mind all day.

Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
 
Load Me up - Mathew Good Band

Picture yourself
sleeping on a plane
there's something ticking in the overhead
and inside your brains
there's bodies in the water
and bodies in the basement
if heaven's for clean people, it's vacant
and hey are you know?
and hey are you being careful?
and hey are you luke warm?
hey ya you are

i'm frantic
so load me up
whatever puts me all the way out

picture yourself swimming in an ocean
a million miles from nowhere and the nearest phone
there's bodies in the water
floating all around you
and all of them are talking, and they're comedians
and hey are you you know?
and hey are you special?
and hey are you deformed?
hey ya you are

i'm frantic
so load me up
it seems so practiced
me fucking this up
whatever puts me all the way out

picture yourself at the MGM grand
one night only, murphy vs. hokem
you're in the stands
there's somebody in the water
in the middle of the ocean
a million miles from nowhere
and they're alone
i'm there alone
so, so deformed

i'm frantic
so load me up
this seems so practiced
so take me all the way out
whatever puts me all the way out

Toby Lightman ~ Frightened

Viewing lights under the surface
Knowing I'm found
Can't run away from
Can't make it undone

While reaching out for anything
Screaming without a sound
How did I find you
How was I supposed to try

I'm frightened by the love that's in you
But it's alright
Oh and I'm frightened by the love that's in me
But I know, it's alright

The only one who understands
The only one who gave me
Something to belong to
With nothing left to undo

With you, everything's beautiful
And I'm not scared to be
Falling into unknown
With you, I find the strength to carry on

I'm frightened by the love that's in you
But it's alright
Oh and I'm frightened by the love that's in me
But I know, it's alright

It's alright
 
Nobody Home - Pink Floyd

I got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in.
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on.
Got those swollen hands blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from.
I got electric light,
And I got second sight.
Got amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know,
When I try to get through,
On the telephone to you,
There'll be nobody home.
I got the obligatory Hendrix perm,
And the inevitable pinhole burns,
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt.
I got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I got a silver spoon on a chain.
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.
I've got wild, staring eyes.
And I got a strong urge to fly,
But I got nowhere to fly to ...fly to... fly to... fly to.
Ooooo Babe,
When I pick up the phone,
There's still nobody home.
I got a pair of Gohill boots,
And I got fading roots.
 
Feeling a little spiritual

Lord, I feel like going home
I’ve tried and I fell and I’m tired and weary
Everything I’ve done is wrong
And I feel like going home


Lord, I tried to see you through
But it was too much for me
Now I'm coming home to you
Yeah, I feel like going home



Clouded skies are closing in
And not a friend around to help me
Of all the places I’ve been
Lord, I feel like going home



Lord, I feel like going home
I’ve tried and I fell and I’m tired and weary
Everything I’ve done is wrong
Lord, I feel like going home



Lord, I tried to see you through
But it was too much for me
Now I’m coming home to you
Yes, I feel like going home



Lord, I feel like going home
I’ve tried and I fell and I’m tired and weary
Everything I’ve done is wrong
Lord, I feel like going home
 
bike - pink floyd

for her

I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.
I've got a cloak. It's a bit of a joke.
There's a tear up the front. It's red and black.
I've had it for months.
If you think it could look good, then I guess it should.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.
I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why. I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.
I've got a clan of gingerbread men.
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish. They're on the dish.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.
I know a room of musical tunes.
Some rhyme, some ching. Most of them are clockwork.
Let's go into the other room and make them work.
 
Have this going through my mind.

Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father Mckenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father Mckenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
 
One of my favourite movies, Benny & Joon was on tonight.

So here's 500 Miles by The Proclaimers.

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you.
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.

If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you.
And if I haver, yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm walkin, yes I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's walkin hard for you.
And when the money, comes in for the work I do,
I'll pass almost every penny on to you.

When I come home, (when i come home) oh I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you.
And if I grow old, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream,
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you.

When I go out, (when i go out) well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.

I adore Benny & Joon :heart:

For the moment, I haven't been able to get Rascal Flatts' Bless the Broken Road out of my head all night....

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
 
Another Horsedreamer's Blues
~Counting Crows

Margery's dreaming of the middle of the day
Tiyuri to win
perfect Dozen to place
Money is the matter that's been on her mind
Time ticks by her one race at a time
She's trying to be a good girl
and give 'em what they want
but Margery's dreaming of horses

Looking at a green sky
Sun like a red eye
Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by
She's tired and lonely
scared and depressed
Her visions of one day go racing the next
She's trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
but Margery's dreaming of horses

Margery doesn't say anything all the way home
So afraid she'll awake to find she's all alone

Margery's wingspans all feathers and coke cans, and
TV dinners and letters she won't send, and
Every race night is shot through with sunlight
Trying to hit the big one one last time tonight for...
drunken fathers and stupid mothers and
boys who can't tell one girl from another

So she takes her pills
careful and round
one of these days she's gonna throw the whole bottle down
But she's trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
but Margery's dreaming of...

Trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
but Margery's dreaming of horses
 
Unsatisfied - The Replacements

Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Was you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Hey, are you satisfied?

And it goes so slowly on
Everything I've ever wanted
Tell me what's wrong

Look me in the eye
And tell me that I'm satisfied
Were you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me I'm satisfied
And now are you satisfied?

Everything goes
Well, anything goes all of the time
Everything you dream of
Is right in front of you
And everything is a lie (or) And liberty is a lie

Look me in the eye
And tell me that I'm satisfed
Look me in the eye
Unsatisfied
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so dissatisfied
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so unsatisfied
Well, I'm-a
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so dissatis,dissattis...
I'm so
 
This songs been going through my head all night.

Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol

I’m all out of hope
One more bad dream
could bring a fall
When I’m far from home
Don’t call me on the phone
To tell me you’re alone
It’s easy to deceive
It’s easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else’s pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to las vegas oh, gigolo.
Hanging out by the state line,
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin’ it down
I’m on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin’ to stay hip.
I’m thinkin’ of you you’re out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don’t despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it’s gone from your eyes
I’d better realise

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it’s getting worse.
 
Alicia Keys ~ Never Felt This Way

There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say
That I want
Or need to be without you
I wanna give my all

Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms, they
keep away the lonelies
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life

Cause I never felt
this way about lovin ...Nooooo
Never felt so good..baby
Never felt this way about love

Song From Under the Floorboards - Magazine

I am angry I am ill and I’m as ugly as sin
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking
I know the meaning of life, it doesn’t help me a bit
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it

This is a song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I’m proud as hell of that fact

I know the highest and the best
I accord them all due respect
But the brightest jewel inside of me
Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity

This is a song song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I’m proud as hell of that fact

I used to make phantoms I could later chase
Images of all that could be desired
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings
And then I just got tired

This is a song song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I’m proud as hell of that fact
 
Read a good vampire story on the weekend. Thanks patricia51.

As always, this gets me thinking about immortality, and all the problems and unhappiness associated with it.

So, Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen.

There's no time for us.
There's no place for us.
What is this thing that builds our dreams,
yet slips away from us?

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us.
It's all decided for us.
This world has only one sweet moment,
set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
Oh, when love must die!
 
A Pair of Brown Eyes - The Pogues

One summer evening drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
Where the water lilies grow
And on the jukebox johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it’s how are you kid and what’s your name
And how would you bloody know?
In blood and death ’neath a screaming sky
I lay down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me

And a rovin’ a rovin’ a rovin’ I’ll go
For a pair of brown eyes

I looked at him he looked at me
All I could do was hate him
While ray and philomena sang
Of my elusive dream
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
That waited once for me
So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing

And a rovin’ a rovin’ a rovin’ I’ll go
For a pair of brown eyes
