In My Life

[Dillinger]

How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last.
This change, can people really fall in love so fast?

What's the matter with you, have you been too much on your own?
So many things unclear, so many things unknown.

In my life, there are so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong,
In my life, there are times when I catch in the silence the sigh of a far away song.

And it seems, of a world that I long to see,
Out of reach, just a whisper away, waiting for me!

Does she know I am alive, do I know if she's real?
Did she see what I saw, does she feel what I feel?

In my life, I'm no longer alone now that love in my life is so near
Find me now, find me here.

 

[Dillinger]

True love does not demand fidelity
If there's one sacred place always in your heart for me
If my love could not withstand this jealousy
I'd remember the day I threw our eternity away.

-- Todd Rundgren

 

[Dillinger]

So I ask you all:

What defines a relationship?
What defines true love?
What defines a life?"

 

[seXieleXie]

there are places i remember
all my life
though some have changed
some forever
not for better
some have gone and some remain
all these places have their moments
with lovers and friends
i still can recall
some are dead and some are living
in my life i've loved them all

but of all these friends and lovers
there is no one compares with you
and these memories lose their meaning
when i think of love
as something new
though i know i'll never lose affection
for people and things
i've loved before
i know i'll often stop and think about them
but in my life
i've loved you more

 

[deliciously_naughty]

You really go in for the heavy questions, don't you Dilly?

525,600 minutes, 525,600 journies to plan
525,600 minutes, how do you measure a life of a woman or a man

In diapers, report card, in speeding tickets
In contracts, dollars, in funerals in birth

In 525,600 minutes, how do you measure a last year on earth

FOREIGNER LYRICS

"I Want To Know What Love Is"

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...

God this song brings back memories..

It was playing on the radio when I lost my virginity.

Sorry about the slight hijack. It was rude of me.

 

[Dillinger]

There is a truth about love not easily learned... This truth is that love cannot be diminished, it can only be multiplied. Love is boundless. Love is endless. Love begets more love. There are very few absolute truths in this word. And this is one of them...

 

[Calamity Jane]

So I ask you all:

What defines a relationship?
What defines true love?
What defines a life?"

A relationship is a mutually agreed upon set of circumstances that brings and keeps two people together for a period of time.

True love is a myth, created by Walt Disney in order to sell movies.

A life is a time period.

 

[Dillinger]

Another friend once related the following, when pledging her vows to her love:

I remember when I was a little girl, trying to learn how to swim. My father held me in the water and gently urged me to let go of him. I couldn't do it. The water looked bottomless. I was so scared. It was so deep and it was so dark... and I was so frightened.

"Just put your feet down, darling," he said. "The water is only waist high. I will let go of you gently and you can swim to me." Eventually I did, but it wasn't easy. I had to do it on faith. And that faith was built on the love and strength I had for my father.

...

As I reflect upon that now, I realize that falling in love can be like that water: it looks deep and dark at first. And you don't know how deep it is or what will happen if you let go. But you have to have faith.

... Just put your feet down... The water is only waist high. I will let go of you gently and you can swim to me.

"What a Wonderful World"

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world...

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world...

Karn Evil 9 - 1st Impression, Part 1

(Emerson/Lake)

Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air
About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,
Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold
Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there.

Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.
They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way,
Praying for survival at the end of the day.
There is no compassion for those who stay.
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there.

There must be someone who can set them free:
To take their sorrow from this odyssey
To help the helpless and the refugee
To protect what's left of humanity.
Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see.

I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there;
To heal their sorrow
To beg and borrow
Fight tommorow.

Step inside! Hello! We've the most amazing show
You'll enjoy it all we know
Step inside! Step Inside!

We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks.
Leave your hammers at the box
Come Inside! Come Inside!
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
See the show!

Left behind the bars, rows of Bishops' heads in jars
and a bomb inside a car
Spectacular! Spectacular!

If you follow me there's a speciality
some tears for you to see
Misery, misery,
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
See the show!

Next upon the bill in our House of Vaudeville
We've a stripper in a till
What a thrill! What a thrill!
And not content with that, with our hands behind our backs,
We pull Jesus from a hat,
Get into that! Get into that!
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
See the show!

Karn Evil 9 - 1st Impression, Part 2

(Emerson/Lake)

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside!
There behind a glass is a real blade of grass
be careful as you pass.
Move along! Move along!

Come inside, the show's about to start
guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth.
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo.
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll ....

Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries then he dies then he dies
Come inside the shows about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart

You gotta see the show
It's a dynamo
You gotta see the show
It's rock and roll


Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine
What a scene! What a scene!
Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand
to Alexander's Ragtime Band
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
See the show!

Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool. Keep it cool.
We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
were exclusively our own,
All our own. All our own.
Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Come and see the show!
See the show!

Karn Evil 9 - 3rd Impression

(Emerson/Lake/Sinfield)

Man alone; born of stone;
Will stamp the dust of time
His hands strike the flame of his soul;
Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe
Until the winds of laughter blows cold.

Fear that rattles in men's ears
And rears it's hideous head
Dread .... Death .... in the wind ....

Man of steel pray and kneel
With fever's blazing torch
Thrust in the face of the night;
Draws a blade if compassion
Kissed by countless Kings
Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.

Walls that no man thought would fall
The altars of the just
Crushed .... Dust .... in the wind ....

No man yields who flies in my ship
DANGER!
Let the bridge computer speak
STRANGER!
LOAD YOUR PROGRAM. I AM YOURSELF.

No computer stands in my way
Only blood can cancel my pain
Guardians of a new clear dawn
Let the maps of war be drawn.

Rejoice! Glory is ours!
Our young men have not died in vain,
Their graves need no flowers
The tapes have recorded their names.

I am all there is
NEGATIVE! PRIMITIVE! LIMITED! I LET YOU LIVE!
But I gave you life
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU DO?
To do what was right
I'M PERFECT! ARE YOU?

Love is the fist around your heart. It can squeeze or caress.

Love can be for eternity.
It can also be destroyed prematurely.
Or with maturity.

Or come only with maturity.

It can start as one thing and turn into another.

It sweeps you off your feet, swells your heart and makes you throb. Brings a mindless heat that tries to push all rational thought from your head.

It can motivate to more sensible thought than ever thought before.

Nothing like love to make you either silly or serious.

It can bring you worry or cool your angst.

It can teach self-worth.

It can teach self-sacrifice.

It is a many wondered thing.
