Hello Mz Noor.
Love that song. Thanks for sharing.

Click to expand...

You are welcome! I have some very clear old memories with this song that tend to flood back when I hear this song. It reminds me to pay attention to the beginnings of the new day and that despite all the rotten apples, there are gentleman in this world...

Then there is The Black Freighter for evil louts

you gentlemen can gawk while I'm scrubbing the floors
and I'm scrubbing the floors while you're gawking
and maybe once you tipped me and it made you fell swell
in this ratty waterfront, in this ratty hotel
but you never know to whom you're talking
you never guess to whom you're talking
suddenly one night there's a scream in the night
and a yell: what the hell is that din
and you see me kind of grinning while I'm scrubbing
and you'll say: what's she got to grin?

and the ship, the black freighter
with the skull at the masthead
sails into the bay

then you gentlemen can say: hey girl, scrub the floors
make the beds, get up the stairs, earn you keep here
and you pass out the tips as you look out at the ships
but I'm counting up heads as I'm making up beds
'cause tonight none of you will sleep here
tonight none of you will sleep here
then on that night there's a banging in the night
and you yell: what the hell is that row
and you see me kind of staring out the window
and you'll say: what she got to stare at now?

and the ship, the black freighter
with fifty long cannons
opens fire on the town

then you gentlemen can wipe all the grins off your face
every building in the town is a flat one
the whole stinking place will be down to the ground
only this cheap hotel will be standing safe and sound
and you say: why do they spare that one?
you say: why do they spare that one?
then all night through with a noise and to-do
you'll wonder who's the person lives up there
and you see me stepping out into the morning
looking nice with a ribbon in my hair

and the ship, the black freighter
runs a flag up her masthead
and cheer rings the air

then just before noon there'll be hundreds of men
coming up off that ghostly freighter
and they're moving in the shadows where no-one can see
and they're chaining up the people and they're bringing them to me
asking me: kill them now or later?
asking me: kill them now or later?
noon on the clock and so still on the dock
you could hear a foghorn miles away
in the quiet of death I'll say: kill 'em now
and they'll pile up the bodies and I'll say: hoopla!

and the ship, the black freighter
sails away out to sea
and on it is me

It's A Pity - The Skydiggers

Its A Pity

It's a Pity The things you say about me
It's a Pity What you say about yourself
It's a Pity That we can't talk this over
It's a Pity That we can't work this out
It's a Pity The way that men treat women
It's a Pity The way men treat themselves
It's a Pity The walls we build between us
It's a Pity We build them higher still
It's a Pity The way you treat your husband
It's a Pity The way you treat your wife
It's a Pity The way we treat our children
It's a Pity To waste a single life

Once we thought we were...
Once when we were young
Maybe we've wasted all the good years
Or maybe the best are yet to come
Now I have nothing left to offer
And so I offer you this song
And maybe the chance for a reunion
And maybe a chance to get along
And maybe a chance to live together
And maybe a chance to get along

Dear Henry - The Skydiggers feat. Sarah Harmer

Dear Henry

Dear Henry, you expect so much from me
I’ve settled on what’s easiest it seems
Staying here at your expense doesn’t really make much sense
Oh Henry, why expect so much from me

Well Patience, you’ve not heard the last from me
Not likely I don’t give in easily
If I could recognize what is truth and what are lies
Oh Patience, I will learn eventually

So judgment, turn that blinding light away
It’s easy to be critical of me
I don’t meant to laugh at you but I don’t share your point of view
So judgment, shine that light away from me

There’s a path that led us here
There’s a truth that we still share
In between the two there must be room to reconcile

So Henry, don’t expect too much from me
I’ve settled on what’s easiest it seems (Oh Patience)
Deal with all your demons first before you make this problem worse
Yeah Henry, you expect too much from me

Oh Patience, I will learn eventually
So judgment, turn that light away from me
Oh Henry
Oh Patience
Oh Henry

Down In The Hole - The Skydiggers

Once I came to you
With reasonable intentions
Now i lay here buried and forgotten

I live my life down under ground
Digging out my ways
Digging my own grave
I breathe the damp and cold musty air
The dust of centuries consumes me

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
I dig for fools gold

Who makes the rules
And shares whats mine
And says whats fair
And tows the line

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
(Ive been digging for my soul)
I dig for fools gold

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
(Ive been digging for my soul)
I dig for fools gold

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
(Ive been digging for my soul)
I dig for fools gold

Once I came to you
With reasonable intentions
Now i lay here buried and forgotten

I had a very rough start to my week. I let someone hurt me, and got knocked off balance pretty good. But only for a short time. This is one of my very favorite songs. It's beautiful, and the lyrics always touch me, but especially this week. If you are not familiar with it, please go take a listen. I hope you enjoy.

Stand Back Up
Sugarland
Twice the Speed of Life

Go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before,
I may stumble, yeah I might fall,
Only human aren't we all?
I might lose my way, but hear me when i say,

I will stand back up,
Youll know just the moment when ive have enough,
Sometimes im afraid, and i dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

I've been beaten up and bruised,
I've been kicked right off my shoes,
Been down on my knees more times than youd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
Theres a light that just wont let me,
It might take my pride, and my tears may fill my eyes,
But I'll stand back up,

I've weathered all these stroms,
But i just turn them into wind, so i can fly,
What dont kill you makes you stronger,
When I take my last breath,
Thats when I'll just give up,

So, go ahead to take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
You might win this round but you cant keep me down,

'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when ive had enough,
Sometimes im afraid and I dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

Youll know just the moment when ive had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.

Her name is Yoshimi

to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me

Empty - Ray Lamontagne

Empty - Live

She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
And I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters

Walk on down the hill
Through grass grown tall and brown
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back
of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field collecting rain

Will I always feel this way ‒
So empty, so estranged?

And of these cut-throat busted sunsets,
these cold and damp white mornings
I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusted dime-store lips
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me?
Lay your blouse across the chair,
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain.
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me it sounds like they're applauding us,
The quiet love we've made.

Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged?

Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me."
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes, and some already dead that walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
Well, it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fires inside me

Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged?

Days Like This - Van Morrison

Days Like This

When it's not always raining there'll be days like this
When there's no one complaining there'll be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well my mama told me there'll be days like this

When you don't need to worry there'll be days like this
When no one's in a hurry there'll be days like this
When you don't get betrayed by that old Judas kiss
Oh my mama told me there'll be days like this

When you don't need an answer there'll be days like this
When you don't meet a chancer there'll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit
Then I must remember there'll be days like this

When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When it's nobody's business the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember there'll be days like this

When no one steps on my dreams there'll be days like this
When people understand what I mean there'll be days like this
When you ring out the changes of how everything is
Well my mama told me there'll be days like this

Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me

Hem, "Not California"

Such a voice...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQNknNX7HoA&ob=av2e

Who's the girl inside of the blue-screen light
The sun is just pouring out
And everything is out of sight

Turn around the room is just black and white
She's whispering
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

And it's not true
And it's not fair
And it's not you
And it's not California here

Later on you're breaking the boxes down
There's nobody out tonight
Nobody's hanging 'round

So you take the drive
That used to be almost right
And now it's just empty lots around you
All these empty lots around you

And they don't know
What you won't dear
And they can't see
That it's not California here

Come a time when I may just walk away
The sun is just barely out
The sky is completely grey

But you're the one I want to be with today
Let them say
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

And I'm not strong
And you're not rich
And we're not lost
Where we don't live

And it's not true
And it's not fair
And they're not us
And it's not California here

I'm the one who wants to be with you tonight
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight

Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider

Lunatic Fringe

Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings

I can hear you coming
We know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
We won't let you kill the laughter

Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far

Cause you gotta blame someone
For your own confusion
We're on guard this time
Against your final solution

We can hear you coming
No you're not going to win this time
We can hear the footsteps
Out along the walkway

Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance?
Can you feel the thunder?

It's My Life - Talk Talk

Talk Talk - It's My Life

Funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I would pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself how much do you
Commit yourself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I would tell myself what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
I would ask myself how much do you
Commit yourself
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

Tightly - Neko Case

Neko Case - Tightly

When I'm walkin' under stars
I covet all the waning hours
All the lonely houses stand like monuments
To thieves

When I'm walkin' in the dark
I'm free to covet all I want
You've made it all so very dangerous
I can't stay away

When I'm walkin' under trees
I'm free to covet all I please
New moons in the alley
And it's madness calls to me

Tonight, tonight, tonight...

If I meet you in the night
You're free to covet all you like
Don't you try and stop me
I cling tightly...to this life

Smoke Without Fire - Duffy

Duffy - Smoke Without Fire

If I'd known you were cheating me,
I would have saved myself and set you free.
If I learned you weren't the loving kind,
I would have saved some peace of mind.

My friends told me you would break my heart,
And never last, we would surely part.

There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.

People talk in this little town,
Rumours keep spreading all around.
And now word has it you've been foolin' me,
I'm so blind that I cannot see.

My friends told me never to believe in you,
You never loved me you were never true.

There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.

No there's no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar
You're a liar
You're a liar
Baby you're a liar

There's no light without a flame,
There's no use in having you to blame.

No
There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar

Don't you be spendin' every day

Because I'm waitin' for you

Listen to me 1, 2, 3
Baby, baby, baby
Spend your time on me

Spend it, spend it, spend it

Amy Winehouse- You Know I'm no Good

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-I2s5zRbHg&feature=related] Amy Winehouse- You Know I'm no Good[/URL]





Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull T-shirt
You say, "What did you do with him today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray

'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear men down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy
He's in a place but I can't get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet you, chips and pitta
You say, "When we married," 'cause you're not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as a I soak my feet

And then you notice likkle carpet burns
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
Yeah, you know that I'm no good

Here come the men in black
It's the mib's, uh, here come's the mib's
Here come the men in black . men in blacck
They won't let you remember

Nah, nah. nah
The good guys dress in black, remember that
Just in case we ever face to face and make contact
The title held by me, mib
Means what you think you saw, you did not see
So don't brink be what was there is now gone
The black suits with the black ray bans on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence
But yo we ain't on no government list
We straight don't exist-no names and no fingerprints
Saw somethin' strange, watch your back
Cause you never quite know where the mibs is at
Uh, eh

* Here come the men in black, men in black
Galaxy defenders

Oho oho oho
Here come the men in black, men in black
They won't let you remember

Aha, aha
Now, from the deepest of the darkest of night
On the horizon, bright light enters sight tight
Cameras zoom, on the impending doom
But then like boom black suits fill the room up
With the quickness, talk with the witnesses
Hypnotizer, neuralizer
Vivid memories turn to fantasies
Ain't no mibs, can I please
Do what we say, that's they way we kick it
D'ya know what I mean
I see my noisy cricket get wicked on ya
We're your first, last and only line of defense
Against the worst scum of the universe
So don't fear us, cheer us
If you ever get near us, don't jeer us, we're fearless
Mib's freezin' up all the flack
What's that stand for? men in black

The men in black
The men in black

Let me see ya just bounce it with me
Just bounce with me (bounce with me)
Just bounce with me
Come on, let me see ya just slide with me
Just slide with me (sline, sline)
Just slide with me (sline, sline)
Come on, let me see ya talk a walk with me
Just walk with me (walk with me)
Talk a walk with me
Come on, and make your neck work
Now freeze

Ohhhhhhhhoh

Here come the men in black, men in black
Galaxy defenders. ohh, ooohh
Here come the men in black, men in black
They won't let you remember. oh nohh

Alright check it
Let me tell you this in closing
I know we might seem imposing
But trust me, if we ever show in your section
Believe me, it's for your own protection
Cause we see things that you need not see
And we be places that you need not be
So go on with your life
Forget that roswell crap
Show love to the black suit, cause
That's the men in....
That's the men in....

Here come the men in black, here they come
Galaxy defenders, galaxy defenders
Here come the men in black, oho, here they come
They won't let you remember. won't let you remember

Here come the men in black, ohh, here they come
Galaxy defenders. oho oho oho
Here come the men in black
They won't let you remember

Adele- Set Fire to the Rain

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBcMKwbMEcQ]Adele- Set Fire to the Rain[/URL]

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cry
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When laying with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here, forever
You and me together, nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt somethin' die, 'cause I knew that
That was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door
Now that you've gone, must be waiting for you
Even now when it's already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt somethin' die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh

Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

James dean, james dean
I know just what you mean
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen
We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules
James dean, james dean
So hungry and so lean
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Little james dean, up on the screen
Wond'rin' who he might be
Along came a spyder and picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity

James dean, james dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye

Hannah - Ray Lamontagne


I lost all of my vanity
When I peered into the pool
I lost all of my innocence
When I fell in love with you
I never knew a man could fall so far until I landed here
Where all of my wounds turn into gold when I kissed your hair

Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me

Ask her why she cries so loud
She Will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake
She takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness
In a Cold and lonely room
Sweep the floor with your long flowered dress
If you cannot find a broom

Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me

She's got hair that flows right down
Right down to the backs of her knees
Her Papa he was a preaching man
And the lord is hard to please
So she comes down from the ozark hills to these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a bible and a fine tooth comb

Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
if you just be kind to me
I'd walk one mile on this broken glass
To fall down at your feet
Oh Hannah you're the queen of the street

I climb the tree with my Hannahlee
My intentions they were pure
Oh the breeze did whip and I lost my grip
I tumbled towards the earth
Where you never would guess who it was that stood below
And his name I will never tell
But His eyes were clear
And His arms were strong
And caught me as I fell

Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'd just be kind to me
I'd walk one mile on broken glass
To fall down at your feet
Hannah you're the queen of the street
Hannah you're the queen of the street

For wee Hannah

Sail - Awolnation

Sail

Sail!

This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
I blame it on my A.D.D. baby

This is how an angel cries
I blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!

La la la la la la oh!

La la la la la la oh!

Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!

Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sail with me, sail with me
Sail!

Brother Up In Heaven

Alan Parsons (written by Ian Bairnson)

A boy flies for freedom
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But there's no release

It's strange here without you
And it's so hard to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

I still see his shadow
His laugh lingers on
When I dream, we're all back together
When I wake, he's gone
It's strange here without you
This was not ment to be
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

And though we try to change the world
A flower when it's cut will surely die
So why do men with so much hate
Destroy what they cannot create
While we all stand by

We will look back in anger
But you helped us to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

Bridge Across Forever

recorded by Transatlantic

written by Neal Morse and Prince

There's a bridge made of light
That crosses between death and life
Where shadows walk in the sun
And desperate lovers run
One day a child and an angel
Stood on either side
Of a magic river
That there was no crossing
But as they tried
The water began to rise
Then they raised their eyes

And as the river fell away
They built a bridge across forever
Between tomorrow and today
There is a bridge across forever

I've had this dream all my life
That doesn't live in black and white
It has no end it just begins
In distant sands and magenta winds
And my love she is standing by the side
Of a magic river that there is no crossing
Maybe someday when our spirits begins to rise
And light fills our eyes

We will meet again someday
On the bridge across forever
I know that we will find our way
To the bridge across forever
Between tomorrow and today
There is a bridge across forever
I know that we will find our way
To the bridge across forever.
