[Nirvanadragones]

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job
It dont pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I¹m looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don¹t have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on.

Circle
by Harry Chapin

All my life's a circle;
Sunrise and sundown;
Moon rolls thru the nighttime;
Till the daybreak comes around.

All my life's a circle;
But I can't tell you why;
Season's spinning round again;
The years keep rollin' by.

It seems like I've been here before;
I can't remember when;
But I have this funny feeling;
That we'll all be together again.

No straight lines make up my life;
And all my roads have bends;
There's no clear-cut beginnings;
And so far no dead-ends.

Chorus:
I found you a thousand times;
I guess you done the same;
But then we lose each other;
It's like a children's game;

As I find you here again;
A thought runs through my mind;
Our love is like a circle;
Let's go 'round one more time.

Chorus

Best when sung with all the members of the band singing different parts and its really a huge group effort.

This

You can call me a sinner
You can call me a saint
Celebrate me for who I am
Dislike me for what I ain't

Put me up on a pedestal
Or drag me down in the dirt
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your names will never hurt

I'll be the garden
You be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

This is who I am
You can
Like it or not
You can
Love me or leave me
Cus I'm never gonna stop
No no

Cleopatra had her way
Matahari too
Whether they were good or bad
Is strictly up to you

Life is a paradox and it doesn't make much sense
Can it be filmed without the photographer ?
Please don't take offense

Don't let the fruit rot under the vine
Fill up your cup and let's drink the wine
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

no no you know

I'll be garden
You'll be the snake
All of my fruit are yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

No no you know

I would definately be singing this right now to my special someone. s to you baby ​

You Light Up My Life

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause You
You light up my life​

I can't wait to see you and hold you in my arms ​

This one is for the most amazing woman I've ever met.... It's pretty darn close (other than the blonde in my bed... ).

Bed Of Roses
Bon Jovi

Sitting here wasted and wounded, at this old piano
Trying hard to capture, the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka, is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares, I think she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies, they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and, French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps, its own beat in my head
While we're talking, About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and, what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away, That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night, Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time, Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you, I'll just close my eyes and whisper
baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry, The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye, I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes, Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me, To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone, But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove, For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

a lil BTO "Takin' Care of Business..."

 

[kiten69]

might as well jump in...ok here is what i would be singing right now to my certain special somebody...

Lay Your Heart Next To Mine

It sure is good to see your smile
At the end of a long hard day
Life out there is easier to bear
When you look at me this way

I can't count the times
You dance through my mind
While I'm trying to be who I am
But you got to believe
I'm not really me
'Till I'm back in your arms again

'Cause it all comes clear
When we're both right here
And you lay your heart next to mine

I'll never get used to those short goodbyes
As I'm runnin' out the door
And I'll always hate walkin' away
While you're tryin' to kiss me once more

But I've got to do what I've got to do
And even when it don't go like I plan
I tell myself, if there's nothin' else
When every day comes to an end

It will be alright
When you hold me tight
And you lay your heart next to mine

Every beat
Every breath
That I have you here with me
Is worth all the rest, oh yes
And every dream
In my mind
Comes alive every night, every time

And the world stands still
That's the way it feels
When you lay your heart next to mine
Come and lay your heart next to mine
