why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you're getting everything
you ever wanted to
let's not talk about the bad times
we've been through that before
it's not right
for making love anymore
just stop your fussin girl
please stop your fussin girl
for your time will come
yes your time will come

can you lay me down
in meadows soft and green
and can you lay me down
and talk to me of things
like stars that burn into the night
and moons that turn with purple lines
that's what I want

just stop your fussin girl
please stop your fussin girl
your time will come
can't you just stop your fussin, girl
please stop your fussin girl
can someone tell me why it is
how we could spend so
many lonely years
when there's a light at
the end of life
it's enough it's enough it's enough
it's enough to try
we can see the light
we can feel the warmth
we can see it shine
we can see it all in our lifetime

so why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you're getting everything
you ever wanted, too
stop your fussin
just stop your fussin
for your time will come
we can see it in our lifetime
we can see it in our lifetime

Playing In The Band - Grateful Dead

Some folks trust to reason
Others trust to might
I don't trust to nothing
But I know it come out right

Say it once again now
Oh I hope you understand
When it's done and over
Lord, a man is just a man

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just look to see the sights

I can tell your future
Look what's in your hand
But I can't stop for nothing
I'm just playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Standing on a tower
World at my command
You just keep a turning
While I'm playing in the band

If a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak Daybreak on the land

Nobody Knows Me - Lyle Lovett


And I like cream in my coffee
And I like to sleep late on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And I like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby

And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

But it was a dream made to order
South of the border
And nobody knows me like my baby
And she cried man how could you do it
And I swore that there weren't nothing to it
But nobody knows me like my baby

And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

And I like cream in my coffee
And I hate to be alone on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby

:heart:
 
A pirate looks at 40 --Jimmy Buffet

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

(neat bit of guitar work)

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown


I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
 
falling into love - dana glover

Hold on my heart
Remember what you've been through
Be still my song
And let yourself be renewed

You've been here before
So tell me what i must do
Don't lose your way
'Cause i'm following after you

And it feels like im falling into lullaby
Can't believe what i feel like
Falling into love
I'm falling into love

Why do I smile when there's no one else around
These butterflies well they can't seem to settle down

Feels like I'm falling into lullaby
Can't believe what I feel like
Falling into love

OO it feels like I'm falling for the first time
I can't believe that its real life
I'm falling into love
O I'm falling in to love

If I am dreaming please let me never awake
La la la la

And it feels like im falling into lullaby
Can't believe what i feel like
I'm falling into love
Ooo It feels like i'm falling for the first time
I can't believe this love is real
I'm falling into love
I'm falling into love yea
Falling into love
Falling in falling in falling in
I'm falling into love
 
LeAnn Rhimes- How Do I Live

This one's for you baby :heart:

How do I,
Get through the night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,

And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,

And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?

If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Real in my life?

And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

How do I live without you?

How do I live without you baby?

:heart:
 
Little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you
Rave on, this crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on

The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say goodnight
Rave on, this crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on

Rave on, this crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealing
Your love for me

Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me
 
Shambala - Three Dog Night

Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain in Shambala
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain in Shambala

(chorus)
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind
On the road to Shambala
Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind
On the road to Shambala

(repeat chorus)

How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala (2xs)

I can tell my sister by the flowers in her eyes
On the road to Shambala
I can tell my brother by the flowers in his eyes
On the road to Shambala

(repeat chorus)

How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala

(repeat chorus reprise)
 
Valparaiso: Sting

Chase the dog star
Over the sea
Home where my true love is waiting for me
Rope the south wind
Canvas the stars
Harness the moonlight
So she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

Red the port light
Starboard the green
How will she know of the devils I've seen
Cross in the sky, star of the sea
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

And every road I walked would take me down to the sea
With every broken promise in my sack
And every love would always send the ship of my heart
Over the rolling sea

If I should die
And water's my grave
She'll never know if I'm damned or I'm saved
See the ghost fly over the sea
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
 
Slide: Dido

Even on a day like this when you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the phone to ring anyone who knows you anymore
It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something

Staring at the same four walls, have you tried to help yourself?
The rings around your eyes they don't hide, that you need to get some rest

It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment

Don't slide

Even at a time like this when the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you but it's happened to us all

It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment

You brought this on yourself
and it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head
and dream of something else instead

Don't slide
 
My Music at Work - The Tragically Hip

Everything is bleak.
It's the middle of the night.
You're all alone and
the dummies might be right.
You feel like a jerk.
My music at work.
My music at work.

Avoid trends and cliches.
Don't try to be up to date.
And when the sunlight hits the olive-oil,
don't hesitate.
The night's so long it hurts
My music at work.

In a symbol too far
or the anatomy of a stain;
to determine where you are,
in a sink full of Ganges, I'd remain -
No matter what you heard
in my music at work.
My music at work.
My music at work.

I call it, 'Olga Waits;
The Cloud That Entertains
The Dim Possibility of
Showing Some Restraint.'
The rain came down berserk.
My music at work.
My music at work.

On a star beyond the chart
or the dark side of a drop of rain.
determining where you are,
in a sink full of Ganges, I remain -
No matter what you heard.
My music at work.
My music at work.
My music at work.

La-la-la-la-la-la.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
La-la-la-la-la-la.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

Everythng is bleak.
It's the middle of the night.
You're all alone and
the dummies might be right.
Outside, the darkness lurks.
My music at work.
My music at work.

Hey fallen hummingbird,
my music at work.
From the middle of the earth,
my music at work.
Bound for bed without dessert,
my music at work.
My music at work.
My music at work.
 
Matt Pond PA-People Have A Way

People have this way of knowing everything
They take one short look and then move on
If you ever wanted anything
Then you have to disagree.
Make some time with the fire's coals
Who really knows if it isn't coal?

I am hardly shocked to learn it's everywhere
I read two short words and then passed out.
If you ever needed anything
It's got to be more we can see

Like a silver glow after sleepless nights
In the melting dark with the losing light
Making shapes with the praying eyes
Don't ever be that terrified.

Remember when we closed our eyes behind hotels
You spoke three short words and then went down
And if you ever needed anyone
All that's left is to agree

Til the meadow shakes and the tall grass hums
Til the first light breaks and morning comes
There's no way around that you're getting down
We can take everything we've found
There's no way we can lose
When we're proving simple proofs
It's the best thing we can do
While the light is coming through

St. Andrew - Bedouin Soundclash

Speak the truth and speak 'ever
Cost it what it will
For he who hide the wrong he did
Did the wrong thing still


Come back sweet St.An, come of me again
Cause I'm broke again, broke, broke
Yeh I'm broke again, broke, broke
And down on St. Andrew
I'll buy it back from you
But you ain't no lover, lover, lover
No, no your just a pusher, pusher, pushing, pushing

I've been down to St. Andrew
To pay for my sins are you
Love come save me
Love come save me soon

Now I've sung midnight choirs
with beatsets, drunks and liars but theres never fighting, fighting, fighting
No we just get higher, higher, higher
So long since I walked a road
Amongst those midnight souls
They were only stealing, stealing, stealing

Yeah we're stealing for feeling, feeling, feeling

I've been down to St. Andrew
to pay for my sins are you
Love come save me, love come save me soon

yeah love come save me soon
love come save me soon
Yeah love come save me
Love come save me soon

One day my time will end
And who I've been I've been
And bells they are ringing. ringing, ringing
Yeah the band it is marching, marching, marching, marching

I've been down to St. Andrew
To pay for my sins are you
Love come save me
Love come save me soon
Yeah love come save me soon
yeah love come save me soon
yeah love come save me
Yeah love come save me soon, soon
 
Eat My Brain - The Odds

For V. :heart:

My droopy-eyed madonna
a triple fire alarm
all the other rogues and darlings
get sent to the farm

I don't need to decieve you
'cause I feel no pain
maybe I should let you
come on and eat my brain

There's an art to perception
so see it as you will
can you adjust my reception?
just give me the latest pill

I don't need to deceive you
cause I feel no pain
maybe I should let you
come on and eat my brain

I know you tried to forget me
well today is remembrance day
so if you're willing then let me
it's time to make your play

I don't need to deceive you
cause I feel no pain
maybe I should let you
come on and eat my brain
 
Scared - The Tragically Hip

I could make you scared if you want me to
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
He said I can make you scared
It's kinda what I do
If you are prepared
Here is what I propose to do
Your in Russia
And more than a million works of
Are wisked out to the woods
When the Nazis find the hole place dark
They'd think god's
Left the museum for good

I make you scared, if that's what I do
If you're prepared, if I have to
If I make you scared and you pay me to
If that's the deal
Now here's what I can do for you
There's a focus group that can prove
This all nothing but cold calculations

Tests have shown that suspicious or hostile
Their lives need not be shortened
Truth be told
They can live a long, long while
Tickled to death by their importance

If you make me scared
If that's what you do
If I'm unclear can I get out of this thing
With me and you
If you feel scared or a bit confused
I gotta say this sounds a little beyond anything I am used to

Now there's a precious few
That can prove at the root
That is all nothing but cold calculation

Clearly entranced you're leaning back now
Defanged destroyer limps into the bay
Down at the beach it's attracting quite a crowd
As kids wade through blood out to it and play

Okay you make me scared you did what you set out to do
I'm not prepared, you really had me going there for a minute or two
He said, you make me scared too,
I wasn't sure I was getting through
I gotta go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you.
 
:eek: Spooky!

I was just listening to this song on my way home from work thinking, "I think I'll play this on Lit Radio!"

That is spooky cos I was thinking "I bet Mckenna is listening to this song on her way home from work so I should post it on Lit radio to freak her out"
:D
 
I Believe - The Buzzcocks

In these times of contention it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past

I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe in I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in

When I poison my system I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colours that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going if to end or begin

I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I've fallen from favour while trying to savour experience
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line

I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
I believe in my Mum and my Dad
And I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling I just want them to last

I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe in I'm going to be late
So I'll be leavin'
What I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
 
Low - Cracker

Sometimes i wanna take you down.
Sometimes i wanna get you low.
Brush your hair back from your eyes.
Take you down let the river flow.

Sometimes i go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass.
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles

I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned

A million poppies gonna make me sleep.
Just one rose and knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees

Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some junkie cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles

I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned

Blue blue is the sun.
Brown brown is the sky.
Green green of her eyes.
A million miles a million miles

Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles

I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
Hey hey hey like being stoned
 
"Drunken Lullabies" - Flogging Molly

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie
In their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Through these bars of men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though there is nothing left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I sit in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
Singin' drunken lullabies
 
Home For A Rest - Spirit Of The West

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest.

We arrived in December and London was cold
We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

Euston Station the train journey North
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
Then walk us on home and deny us a round

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
And don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells at noon

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home
 
Throw Your Arms Around me - Hunters And Collectors

I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
I'll go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you dissapear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah you will throw you arms around me
 
Broken Hearts For You And Me - Trio

Es ist Zeit für etwas Flottes stimmung
Guts Laune
Die Damen in den Innenkreis
Die Herren in den Außenkreis
In Gegenrichtung, Marach, Fox
And the monkey wrapped his tail around the flag-pole
To show his ass-hole
To the one, two, three

Broken hearts for you and me
I guess we agree
The party's over now, it's plain to see
Broken hearts for you and me
Why should we stay?
You know it's better if we go our own ways
Broken hearts for you and me
We tried our best
Too little future, though, and too much past
Broken hearts for you and me
Don't you cry
Kiss me good-bye
Broken hearts for you and me
We made so many mistakes
We know it better now, but it's too late
Broken hearts for you and me
Why should we stay?
You know it's better if we go our own ways
Broken hearts for you and me
Don't you cry-ie-ie-ie
Just kiss me good-bye-ie-ie-ie
You know why-ie-ie-ie, there are
Broken hearts for you and me
Don't you cry-ie-ie-ie
Just kiss me good-bye-ie-ie-ie
You know why-ie-ie-ie
So don't you cry-ie-ie-ie
So don't you cry-ie-ie-ie
Bye, bye, bye, bye-ie-ie-ie
Bye, bye, bye, bye-ie-ie-ie
Don't cry-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie...
You know why-ie-ie-ie
You know why-ie-ie-ie, there are
Broken hearts
 
you're all i have - snow patrol

Strain this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere

Just give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have

You're cinematic razor sharp
A welcome arrow through the heart
Under your skin feels like home
Electric shocks on aching bones

Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have

There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to

Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
