You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for living the way that I have
I give you strength for receiving, it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

Friends Will Be Friends ~ Queen

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctor’s on strike what you need is a rest

It’s not easy love but you’ve got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you’re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End

Now it’s a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You’re getting used to life without him in your way

It’s so easy love cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you’re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End

It’s so easy love cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you’re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End

Friends will be friends
When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you’re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos right till the end-
Friends will be friends
 
I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me

So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

And I'll miss your laugh your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights I hate them
Lets start this again for real

So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

Now here's a little story - I've got to tell
About three bad brothers - you know so well
It started way back in history
With Adrock, M.C.A., and me - Mike D.
Been had a little horsy named Paul Revere
Just me and my horsy and a quart of beer
Riding across the land - kicking up sand
Sheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand
One lonely Beastie I be
All by myself - without nobody
The sun is beating down on my baseball hat
The air is gettin' hot - the beer is getting flat
Lookin' for a girl - I ran into a guy
His name is M.C.A., I said, "Howdy" - he said, "Hi"


He told a little story - that sounded well rehearsed
Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst
The brew was in my hand - and he was on my tip
His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry - he asked me for a sip
He said, "Can I get some?"
I said, "You can't get none!"
Had a chance to run
He pulled out his shotgun
He was quick on the draw - I thought I'd be dead
He put the gun to my head and this is what he said,


"Now my name is M.C.A. - I've got a license to kill
I think you know what time it is - it's time to get ill
Now what do we have here - an outlaw and his beer
I run this land, you understand - I make myself clear."
We stepped into the wind - he had a gun, I had a grin
You think this story's over but it's ready to begin


"Now I got the gun - you got the brew
You got two choices of what you can do
It's not a tough decision as you can see
I can blow you away or you can ride with me" I said, I'll ride with you if you
can get me to the border
The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter
I did it like this - I did it like that
I did it with a whiffleball bat
So I'm on the run - the cop's got my gun
And right about now - it's time to have some fun
The King Adrock - that is my name
And I know the fly spot where they got the champagne."
We rode for six hours then we hit the spot
The beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot
This dude was staring like he knows who we are
We took the empty spot next to him at the bar
M.C.A. said, "Yo, you know this kid?"
I said, "I didn't." - but I know he did
The kid said, "Get ready cause this ain't funny
My name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money."
Pulled out the jammy - aimed it at the sky
He yelled, "Stick 'em up!" - and let two fly
Hands went up and people hit the floor
He wasted two kids that ran for the door
"I'm Mike D. and I get respect
Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect"
M.C.A. was with it and he's my ace
So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face
The piano player's out - the music stopped
His boy had beef - and he got dropped
Mike D. grabbed the money - M.C.A. snatched the gold
I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.

~Beastie Boys

Hearing this song never fails to make me smile.
 
John Lennon-Instant Karma

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
 
Istanbul (Not Constantinople) Lyrics
Artist: They Might Be Giants
Album: Flood


Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way



So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Istanbul (Istanbul)
Istanbul (Istanbul)

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Istanbul
 
Pigs on the Wing (parts 1 & 2)

Pigs On The Wing (part 1)

If you didn't care what happened to me,
And I didn't care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain.
Wondering which of the buggars to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.

Pigs On The Wing (part 2)

You know that I care what happens to you,
And I know that you care for me.
So I don't feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone,
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home,
A shelter from pigs on the wing.
 
Macy Grey - I Try

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe
But we're not

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin

I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll keep my cool but I'm feignin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke
(Yeah)
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there
Goodbye and I choke
(Yeah)
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there

Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
Deny

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
(But I'm dreaming of you babe)
And I'll keep my cool but I'm feenin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke
(Yeah)
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try
(Try to hide it)
To hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there
(When you are not there ahh)
Goodbye and I choke
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I try to walk away and I stumble
(Hey hey hey)
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
(Say it Lord)
My world crumbles (Lord)
When you are not there
(The Lord kisses us)

Goodbye and I choke
(I'm choking)
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(When you are not near yeah yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah
 
Poi Dog Pondering-The Hardest Thing

If we don't snap outta this, I don't know what
I'm gonna do
I'm just tryin' to make it up to you
I see so many lovers policing each other
Nagging and back Biting
One upon another

One thing I never want is for us to slip into this
The hardest thing to bear is when love slips
into this

Love cries for freedom
So let's keep it together (keep it together)
Give it what it needs
Love cries for freedom
So let's keep it together (keep it together)
Give it what it needs

So sit down beside yourself and take a look around
There are no chains here
No shackles to be found
And if we are to be
Together you and me
Then nothing will hold us here But our desire to be

Love cries for freedom
So let's keep it together (keep it together)
Give it what it needs
Love cries for freedom
So let's keep it together (keep it together)
Give it what it needs

And if it's too much to bear, the pain and
disappointment
Then we gotta get up and set each other free
Because in time all things will be revealed
And the truth in our hearts
We won't be able to help but feel

Children of the Sun:
dreamer
you always liked to imagine
what you could have done
wisher
never caring what came next
you were a child of the sun

in the days of sunshine and light
in the times of laughter and friends
we wished on every falling star
we swan races and played guitar

in the days of sandcastles and sunburn
in the times of carelessness
we grinned and held each other's hands
we helped each other up and ran along the sane
in those days

dreamer
i always liked to imagine
what i could have done
wisher
never caring what came next
i was a child of the sun

now in these days of growing up too fast
and in these times where fun can never last
we still like to remember
we still like to light the embers
of memories long past
in these times of so-called maturity
in these days of forgotten infancy
in these times

still every once in a while
something you do makes me smile
and we go back to the times when we would laugh for hours
nothing's lost forever, when we can still dance among the flowers
and we're still quite happily best friends

dreamers
we always liked to imagine
what we could have done
wishers
never caring what came next
we are the children of the sun
yes, we are the children of the sun.....

Had this song going through my head this morning.

Don Quixote by Gordon Lightfoot.

Through the woodland, through the valley
Comes a horseman wild and free
Tilting at the windmills passing
Who can the brave young horseman be
He is wild but he is mellow
He is strong but he is weak
He is cruel but he is gentle
He is wise but he is meek

Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a battered book into his hand
Standing like a prophet bold
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
Till he can shout no more

I have come o'er moor and mountain
Like the hawk upon the wing
I was once a shining knight
Who was the guardian of a king
I have searched the whole world over
Looking for a place to sleep
I have seen the strong survive
And I have seen the lean grown weak

See the children of the earth
Who wake to find the table bare
See the gentry in the country
Riding off to take the air

Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a rusty sword into his hand
Then striking up a knightly pose
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
Till he can shout no more

See the jailor with his key
Who locks away all trace of sin
See the judge upon the bench
Who tries the case as best he can
See the wise and wicked ones
Who feed upon life's sacred fire
See the soldier with his gun
Who must be dead to be admired

See the man who tips the needle
See the man who buys and sells
See the man who puts the collar
On the ones who dare not tell
See the drunkard in the tavern
Stemming gold to make ends meet
See the youth in ghetto black
Condemned to life upon the street

Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a tarnished cross into his hand
Then standing like a preacher now
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves
He gallops off across the dusty plain
To begin the search again
Where no one will hear

Through the woodland, through the valley
Comes a horseman wild and free
Tilting at the windmills passing
Who can the brave young horseman be
He is wild but he is mellow
He is strong but he is weak
He is cruel but he is gentle
He is wise but he is meek
 
Anna Begins

My friend assures me "it's all or nothing"
I am not worried- I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me " for one time only,
make an exception." I am not not worried

Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried - I am not overly concerned

with the status of my emotions
"oh", She says, "you're changing."
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
and I guess I'm going to have to live with that
but, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray
or something in between
and I can always change my name if that's what you mean

My friend assures me "it's all or nothing`
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned

You try to tell yourself the things you try tell yourself to make
yourself forget
to make yourself forget
I am not worried
"If it's love" she said, "then we're gonna have to think about the
consequences"
cause she can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and.....

This time when kindness falls like rain
it washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering
for days" she says.
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing

But I'm not gonna break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend. And I'm not gonna break and
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore

It seems like I should say "as long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just
snap her up in a butterfly net-
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...

The time when kindness falls like rain
it washes me away and Anna begins change my mind
And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
and oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing

She's talking in her sleep-it's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
oh lord. I m not ready for this sort of thing

Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away. She dissappears,
and oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
 
Simple Plan
Welcome To My Life




Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don?t belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don?t know what it?s like
When nothing feels alright
You don?t know what it?s like to be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you?re down
To feel like you?ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one?s there to save you
No you don?t know what it?s like

Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you?re bleeding

No you don?t know what it?s like
When nothing feels alright
You don?t know what it?s like to be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you?re down
To feel like you?ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one?s there to save you
No you don?t know what it?s like

Welcome to my life

No one ever lies straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I?m happy
But I?m not gonna be ok

Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don?t know what it?s like
What it?s like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you?re down
To feel like you?ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one?s there to save you
No you don?t know what it?s like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you?re down
To feel like you?ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one?s there to save you
No you don?t know what it?s like

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Happy Talk ~ Captain Sensible

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

Talk about things you'd like to do.
You gotta have a dream
if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about a moon floatin' in the sky

Lookin' like a lily on a lake;
Talk about a bird learnin' how to fly
Makin' all the music he can make.

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk
. . .
Let's talk about a star lookin' like a toy

Peekin' through the branches of a tree;
Talk about a girl
talk about a boy
Countin' all the ripples on the sea.

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk
. . .
Talk about a boy sayin' to the girl:
Golly, Baby ! I'm a lucky cuss !
Talk about a girl sayin' to the boy:
'You and me are lucky to be us !"

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk
. . .
If you don't talk happy and you never have a dream
Then you'll never have a dream come true !

Ohio

Tell my uncle tell my aunts
I got my teeth in nice and straight
Chicken nuggets in my pants
I'm on my way to the buckgrass state!
O-hi-o-hi-o
Round on the end, high in the middle
O-hi-o-hi-o
O-hi-o-hi-o (O how hi I o)

Left my home in Timbucthree
With my banjo on my knee
Look at me I'm Sandra D
On your way to Ohio
O-hi-o-hi-o
Round on the end, high in the middle
Here's a riddle what's round on the end and high in the middle?
Oh it's um...Switzerland?
No it's O-hi-o-hi-o! (Oh how hi I o)

Up in Cincinnati-a, there's a gal named Clareibell

One last crybaby ditty before bed, maybe this will exorcise it from my brain

Another Song About The Rain
~ Cracker

Wind of fate has pried us loose
Light of mercy hurts my eyes
Is it worth the things you lose
to board the train and watch the sky?

I sing myself to sleep at night
I sing myself to sleep

Another song about the rain
Coming down it burns through me
Another song about the rain

Got a line straight from my heart
was a time it ran to you.
Another place where we were smart
before the flood and time was through

I sing myself to sleep at night
I sing myself to sleep

Another song about the rain
Coming down it burns through me
Another song about the rain

Sorry now I never made you see
Sorry now sounds so far away
Will our child cry for me
when he hears the dragon's flame?

Highway flares make red the streets
My fingers spin the dial again,
but every station's on to me, yeah

Another song about the rain
Another song about the rain
Another song about the rain
Another song about the rain

Never rained so viciously
