      MGMT: Kids


      You were a child,
      crawlin' on your knees toward it.
      Makin' mama so proud,
      but your voice is too loud.

      We like to watch you laughing.
      Pickin' insects off plants.
      No time to think of consequences.

      Control yourself.
      Take only what you need from it.
      A family of trees wanting,
      To be haunted.

      Control yourself.
      Take only what you need from it.
      A family of trees wantin',
      To be haunted.

      The water is warm,
      but its sending me shivers.
      A baby is born,
      crying out for attention.
      Memories fade,
      like looking through a fogged mirror
      Decisions to decisions are made and not fought
      But I thought,
      this wouldn't hurt a lot.
      I guess not.

      Control yourself.
      Take only what you need from it.
      A family of trees wantin',
      To be haunted.

      Control yourself.
      Take only what you need from it.
      A family of trees wantin',
      To be haunted.
      Sumedha.

      Your Liege,

      Default So Cruel, U2



      We crossed the line
      Who pushed who over?
      It doesn't matter to you
      It matters to me
      We're cut adrift
      We're still floating
      I'm only hanging on
      To watch you go down
      My love

      I disappeared in you
      You disappeared from me
      I gave you everything you ever wanted
      It wasn't what you wanted

      The men who love you, you hate the most
      They pass RIGHT through you like a ghost
      They look for you, but your spirit is in the air
      Baby, you're nowhere

      Oh...love...
      You say in love there are no rules
      Oh...love...
      Sweetheart,
      You're so cruel

      Desparation is a tender trap
      It gets you every time
      You put your lips to her lips
      To stop the lie

      Her skin is pale like God's only dove
      Screams like an angel for your love
      Then she makes you watch her from above
      And you need her like a drug

      Oh...love...
      You say in love there are no rules
      Oh...love...
      Sweetheart,
      You're so cruel

      She wears my love like a see-through dress
      Her lips say one thing
      Her movements something else
      Oh love, like a screaming flower
      Love...dying every hour...love

      You don't know if it's fear or desire
      Danger the drug that takes you higher
      Head in heaven, fingers in the mire

      Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
      The night is bleeding like a cut
      Between the horses of love and lust
      We are trampled underfoot

      Oh...love... You say in love there are no rules
      Oh...love...
      Sweetheart,
      You're so cruel

      Oh...love...
      To stay with you I'd be a fool
      Sweetheart
      You're so cruel

      -U2

      Find the River by REM

      Hey now, little speedyhead,
      The read on the speedmeter says
      You have to go to task in the city
      Where people drown and people serve.
      Dont be shy. your just deserve
      Is only just light years to go.

      Me, my thoughts are flower strewn
      Ocean storm, bayberry moon.
      I have got to leave to find my way.
      Watch the road and memorize
      This life that pass before my eyes.
      Nothing is going my way.

      The ocean is the rivers goal,
      A need to leave the water knows
      Were closer now than light years to go.

      I have got to find the river,
      Bergamot and vetiver
      Run through my head and fall away.
      Leave the road and memorize
      This life that pass before my eyes.
      Nothing is going my way.

      Theres no one left to take the lead,
      But I tell you and you can see
      Were closer now than light years to go.
      Pick up here and chase the ride.
      The river empties to the tide.
      Fall into the ocean.

      The river to the ocean goes,
      A fortune for the undertow.
      None of this is going my way.
      There is nothing left to throw
      Of ginger, lemon, indigo,
      Coriander stem and rose of hay.
      Strength and courage overrides
      The privileged and weary eyes
      Of river poet search naivete.
      Pick up here and chase the ride.
      The river empties to the tide.
      All of this is coming your way

      Linger by the Cranberries

      Dolores O'Riordan has an amazing voice


      if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.

      I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
      It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.

      I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
      So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
      Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?

      But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
      You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
      Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
      Do you have to let it linger?

      Oh, I thought the world of you.
      I thought nothing could go wrong,
      But I was wrong. I was wrong.
      If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
      Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
      But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

      But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
      You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
      Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
      Do you have to let it linger?

      Blue Pastures by James

      Blue pastures fade away
      Green rivers in silver light
      I'm walking to the sound of distant bells
      So peaceful I don't know who I am
      And just when I think its clear
      It turns all grey again
      And I wonder who will find me in the snow
      And just when I thought I was free
      I got pulled in again
      Once you're in, you're in
      Blue pastures calling home
      I'm Walking but I can't stand anymore
      Hear voices, can't tell near or far
      Weird voices lay me down
      And I don't see why I'm obliged
      To just carry on
      When everything I touch
      Turns out wrong
      And I feel I've committed some crime
      But I don't know what I've done
      One day life just wins
      One day life just wins
      Still breathing
      But I'm tired and I want to go home
      Still breathing
      But I'm not sure anymore
      Still breathing
      But it doesn't really matter if I fade away
      Fall into sleep
      Fall into sleep

      These are amazing lyrics by Bob Dylan

      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

      Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
      My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
      My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
      To be wanderin'.
      I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
      Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
      I promise to go under it.

      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

      Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
      It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
      And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
      And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
      To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
      I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
      Seein' that he's chasing.

      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

      Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
      Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
      The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
      Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
      Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
      Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
      With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
      Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
      Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
      In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

      Lost in the Flood - Bruce Springsteen


      The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a hungry runaway
      He walks through town all alone
      He must be from the fort he hears the high school girls say
      His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
      The hit and run, plead sanctuary, 'neath a holy stone they hide
      They're breakin' beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection
      nuns run round through Vatican halls pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
      And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood
      Sticker smiles sweet as gunner breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud
      And I said "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand, that's quicksand that ain't mud
      Have you thrown your senses to the war or did you lose them in the flood?"

      That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
      races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
      He rides 'er low on the hip, on the side he's got Bound For Glory in red, white and blue flash paint
      He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The Saint
      Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
      He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
      And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
      That is, nothin' left that you could sell
      just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
      And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood"
      I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
      Or was he just lost in the flood?
      Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts they whisper in the air
      Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
      and Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware
      Everything stops, you hear five, quick shots, the cops come up for air
      And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street
      And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose
      and gets blown right off his feet
      And some kid comes blastin' round the corner but a cop puts him right away
      He lays on the street holding his leg screaming something in Spanish
      He still breathing when I walked away
      And somebody said "Hey man did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud"
      I wonder what that dude was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood?
      They said "Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure ****ed up"
      I wonder what they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood?

      Default Wow!!

      That's alot of good stuff there guys,

      there's a song I wanna post - but I'm not sure I can remember
      all the lyrics..

      "Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships
      lying in the yellowy haze of the sun,

      I was lying in a burnt out basement with the full moon in my eyes
      I was hopeing for replacement,
      when the sun burst through the sky

      Look at Mother Nature on the run,
      in the 22nd century...

      Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armour,
      saying something about a Queen,
      there were children crying
      and colours flying all around the chosen ones
      and the archer split the tree,

      I was thinking about what a friend had said,
      I was hopeing it was a lie
      I was hopeing it was a lie


      There was a band playing in my head,
      and I felt like getting high

      Look at Mother Nature on the run
      in 22nd century.

      All in a dream
      All in a dream, the loading had begun
      flying Mother Natures silver seed to a new home in the sun.


      (sorry, that's the best of my recollection, entitled "After the goldrush"
      by Niel Young.

      Freedom,

      That's great,
      Our favorite songs are so special in our life are they not?
      Sometimes I actually think they got these stories right from my
      own life, and then shone some light onto it, so I would understand ,
      Peace and Love,

      Default OH NO!!! The beatles again?

      HAHA

      Really though, (Neil Young Again), I saw N.Y. a month or so ago and
      he closed with two Beatles songs,
      I never would have beleived somebody could actually make them
      sound cool again, HAT's OFF.

      DangerBird.

      Then again, I just heard a punk rendition of a Peter,Pual and Mary song "500 miles",
      I just love it when a song gets reserected like that

      Loreena McKennitt: Skellig




      O light the candle, John
      The daylight has almost gone
      The birds have sung their last
      The bells call all to mass


      Sit here by my side
      For the night is very long
      There's something I must tell
      Before I pass along

      I joined the brotherhood My books were all to me
      I scribed the words of God
      And much of history

      Many a year was I
      Perched out upon the sea
      The waves would wash my tears,
      The wind, my memory

      I'd hear the ocean breathe
      Exhale upon the shore
      I knew the tempest's blood
      Its wrath I would endure

      And so the years went by
      Within my rocky cell
      With only a mouse or bird
      My friend; I loved them well

      And so it came to pass
      I'd come here to Romani
      And many a year it took
      Till I arrived here with thee

      On dusty roads I walked
      And over mountains high
      Through rivers running deep
      Beneath the endless sky

      Beneath these jasmine flowers
      Amidst these cypress trees
      I give you now my books
      And all their mysteries

      Now take the hourglass
      And turn it on its head
      For when the sands are still
      'Tis then you'll find me dead

      O light the candle, John
      The daylight is almost gone
      The birds have sung their last
      The bells call all to mass
      Sumedha.

      Answer

      I will be the answer
      At the end of the line
      I will be there for you
      While you take the time
      In the burning of uncertainty
      I will be your solid ground
      I will hold the balance
      If you can't look down

      If it takes my whole life
      I won't break, I won't bend
      It will all be worth it
      Worth it in the end
      Cause I can only tell you what I know
      That I need you in my life
      When the stars have all gone out
      You'll still be burning so bright

      Cast me gently
      Into morning
      For the night has been unkind
      Take me to a
      Place so holy
      That I can wash this from my mind
      The memory of choosing not to fight

      If it takes my whole life
      I won't break, I won't bend
      It will all be worth it
      Worth it in the end
      'Cause I can only tell you what I know
      That I need you in my life
      When the stars have all burned out
      You'll still be burning so bright

      Cast me gently
      Into morning
      For the night has been unkind


      -Sarah McLachlan

      Born of Frustration by JAMES

      All this frustration
      I cant meet all my desires
      Strange conversation
      Self-control has just expired
      All an illusion
      Only in my head you dont exist
      Who are you fooling
      Dont need a shrink but an exorcist

      Show me the movie
      Of who you are and where youre from
      Born of frustration
      Caught up in the webs youve spun
      Wheres the confusion
      A vision of what life is like
      Show me the movie
      That doesnt deal in black and white

      Stop stop talking about whos to blame
      When all that counts is how to change

      All this frustration
      All this frustration
      Who put round eyes on a butterflys wings
      All this frustration
      All this frustration
      Who gave the leopards spots and taught the birds to sing

      Born of frustration
      Born of frustration

      Im living in the weirdest dream
      Where nothing is the way it seems
      Where no ones who they need to be
      Where nothing seems that real to me
      What can we build our lives upon
      No wall of stone, no solid ground
      The world is spinning endlessly
      Were clinging to our own beliefs

      Born of frustration
      Born of frustration

      Leonard Cohen writes some amazing Lyrics

      Anthem

      The birds they sang
      At the break of day
      Start again
      I heard them say
      Dont dwell on what
      Has passed away
      Or what is yet to be

      The wars they will
      Be fought again
      The holy dove
      Be caught again
      Bought and sold
      And bought again
      The dove is never free

      Chorus
      Ring the bells that still can ring
      Forget your perfect offering
      There is a crack in everything
      Thats how the light gets in

      We asked for signs
      The signs were sent
      The birth betrayed
      The marriage spent
      The widowhood
      Of every government
      Signs for all to see

      Cant run no more
      With the lawless crowd
      While the killers in high places
      Say their prayers out loud
      But theyve summoned up
      A thundercloud
      And theyre going to hear from me

      Chorus

      You can add up the parts
      But you wont have the sum
      You can strike up the march
      There is no drum
      Every heart
      To love will come
      But like a refugee

      Ring the bells that still can ring
      Forget your perfect offering
      There is a crack in everything
      Thats how the light gets in

      "Twelve Fold Chain" The Books

      At last
      It started
      In the middle
      Beginning as it all begins
      It forsook the source of things

      That which flowed over that which stayed
      It made the choice to form a standing wave
      It leaned the out against the in
      Unfolding in a place to call its own

      And it gently draped six senses over
      This house of cards that it built
      It opened ground to the roots of touch
      And let them in

      Incredible sensations
      It was the insatiable feeling of a feeling of insatiable desire

      And all that it could do
      Was hold tight to that that it was not
      It told itself it needed names
      And in so doing, it became

      This is the birth that everyone is always talking about-
      The one assumed, but not remembered
      But death does not forget
      The end will remind it to cure it of itself
