as logic stands u couldnt meet a man whos from the future
but logic broke as he appeared he spoke about the future
were not gonna make it
he explained how the end will come
u n me were never meant to be part of the future

all we have is now
all we ve ever had is now
all we have is now
all we ve ever had is now

i noticed that he had a watch n hat that looked familiar
he was me from a dimension torn free from the future
were not gonna make it
he explained how the end will come
u n me were never meant to be part of the future

all we have is now
all we ve ever had is now
all we have is now
all we ve ever had is now

all we have is now

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]"I’m tired of waking up
I’m sick of rolling off the bus
I want to sleep forever
In the lies I’ve made
The checks have bounced
But the bills got paid so far
On the Jaguar
I call myself
The lines get crossed
On the short wave
I get cut off
’Cause I can’t behave
Very well
You think you know me
But you don’t know my way around
Hell
Is just below me
And that’s why I keep falling down

I’m praying to resist temptation
Staying within my constellation
Weighing every intonation
Betraying alienation...

[/FONT] I’m feeling the strings of your rejection
Kneeling in the wrong direction
Sealing my heart to your neglection
Revealing no connection..."

^ Sophie B. Hawkins - No Connection

(If anyone has ever heard of her or even like her music, I'd be SO happy to meet you! )

y should i care?
y should i care?

girls of 15
sexually knowin
the ushers r sniffin
eau-de-cologning
the seats r seductive
celibate sittin
pretty girls diggin
prettier women

magically bored
on a quiet street corner
free frustration
in our minds n our toes
quiet stormwater
m-m-mmy generation
uppers n downers
either way blood flows

inside outside
leave me alone
inside outside
nowhere is home
inside outside
where have i been?
outta my brain on the 5:15

a raft in the quarry
slowly sinkin
on the back of a lorry
holy hitchin
dreadfully sorry
apple scrumpin
born in the war
birthday punchin

he man drag
in the glitterin ballroom
greyly outrageous
in my hi heel shoes
tightly undone
know what theyre showin
sadly ecstatic
that their heroes r news

inside outside
leave me alone
inside outside
nowhere is home
inside outside
where have i been?
outta my brain on the 5:15

outta my brain on a train
im outta my brain on a train on a train
im outta my brain.......
here it comes

y should i care?
y should i care?

i dont matter
u dont matter
neither does this mindless clatter
it dont matter where ur from
what matters is ur uniform

wear ur braces round ur seat
doctor martens on ur feet
keep ur barnet very neat
for credibility on street

we r marchin as to war
we wont be obscure no more
in uniform
in uniform

i am really livin inside a jar
im all alone
so i feel forgiven if im under par
a fallen clone
only in the river can i claim a star to call my own
im newly born
in uniform
im up on the throne

i am frightened
u r frightened
should we get our trousers tightened?
where in brighton is ur norm?
who wears enlightened uniform

on my parka is some band
i dont really understand
perry is my guidin hand
scooter polo sweeps the land

we r marchin as to war
we wont be obscure no more
in uniform
in uniform

ppl think we dress alike to segregate identities
pills or drink or puffin pipes in integrated entities
then they wink n snort their line
n say how great their bentley is
they feel so warm
when they conform

they say that nakedness is what our Lord intended
when we stand naked then we all feel the same
but its just fakin it if we all try pretendin
or r we just makin all our prayers in the rain
heaven knows
i need new clothes

we r marchin as to war
but were really fightin for
our uniform
our uniform

when i contemplate my future i go so numb
dont feel a thing
i dont overrate my suitors #1
i always sing
but the state n their computers
make me run for comfort in my uniform
in uniform
i feel like a king

they say that nakedness is what our Lord intended
when we stand naked then we all feel the same
but its just fakin it if we all try pretendin
or r we just makin all our prayers in the rain?
it seems insane
but heaven knows
its all the same
n i need new clothes

 

[alasdair]

in the middle of the day
i can run around with u

excitement lites the way
to worlds for us to play

play play play play

in the middle of the afternoon
u can come around n fly

fly fly fly fly

The rangers had a homecoming in harlem late last night
And the magic rat drove his sleek machine over the jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down flamingo
lane

Well the maximum lawman run down flamingo chasing the rat and
the barefoot girl
And the kids round here look just like shadows: always quiet,
holding hands
From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world
As we take our stand down in jungleland

The midnight gang’s assembled and picked a rendezvous for the
night
They’ll meet `neath that giant exxon sign that brings this fair city
light
Man there’s an opera out on the turnpike
There’s a ballet being fought out in the alley
Until the local cops, cherry tops, rips this holy night
The street’s alive as secret debts are paid
Contacts made, they vanished unseen
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine
The hungry and the hunted explode into rock’n’roll bands
That face off against each other out in the street down in jungleland

In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the d.j.
plays
Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and
they’re gone

Beneath the city two hearts beat
Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked
In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown
The rat’s own dream guns him down as shots echo down them
hallways in the night
No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light

Outside the street’s on fire in a real death waltz
Between flesh and what’s fantasy and the poets down here
Don’t write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not
even dead
Tonight in jungleland

Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen

i read the news today oh boy
about a lucky man who made the grade
n tho the news was rather sad
well i just had to laff
i saw the photograph
he blew his mind out in a car
he didnt notice that the lites had changed
a crowd of ppl stood n stared
theyd seen his face before
nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords

i saw a film today oh boy
the english army had just won the war
a crowd of ppl turned away
but i just had to look
havin read the book

i d luv to......turn.......u.......on.........

woke up
fell outta bed
dragged a comb across my head
found my way downstairs n drank a cup
n lookin up i noticed i was late
found my coat
n grabbed my hat
made the bus in seconds flat
found my way upstairs n had a smoke
somebody spoke n i went into a dream

aaaaaaaaaaahhh aaah aaah........

i read the news today oh boy
4000 holes in blackburn lancashire
n tho the holes were rather small
they had to count them all
now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall

i d luv to........turn......u.......on...........

...and it's too late
to lose
the weight
you used
to need to throw around
So have a good drown
As you go down
all alone
dragged down by the stone

Better Days
Goo Goo Dolls

And you asked me what I want this year
And I tried to make this kind and clear
Just the chance that maybe we'll find better days

'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And designer love and empty things
Just the chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cause everyone...
Is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I need someplace simple where we can live
And something only you can give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive

And the one poor child who saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cause everyone...
Is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just the chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cause everyone...
Is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

in my rearview mirror
the sun is goin down
sinkin behind bridges
in the road
i think of all the good things
that we have lived n done
i suffer premonitions
confirmed suspicions
of the holocaust to come

the rusty wire
that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way n suddenly
its day again
the sun is in the east
even tho the day is done
2 suns in the sunset
could be the human race is run

like the moment when the brakes lock
n u slide towards the big truck
oh no!!!
u stretch the frozen moments with ur fear

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

n u ll never hear their voices
daddy daddy!!!!
n u ll never see their faces
u have no recourse to the law anymore

n as the windshield melts
n my tears eveporate
leavin only charcoal
to defend
finally i understand the feelins of the few
ashes n diamonds
foe n friend
we were all equal in the end

Sam Stone's welcome home
Didn't last too long.
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...​

 

[hardcoreGL1229]

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

[radhead]

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew.
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you.

 

[KnowBeDo]

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsignable songs

There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again, yeah

There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don’t ask much

I just want you
I just want you

There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or
Forgivable sins

There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it’s true,
I don’t ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

I’m sick and tired of bein’ sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I’ll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married lennon’s daughter, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah

There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens, do
You know what I mean? yeah

There are no indisputable truths
And there ain’t no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through,
I don’t ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
I just want you,
Hey, yeah
I just want you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you, hey

Become
Goo Goo Dolls

So much more about you that you never let me see
You turned away,
But not to me
And I know how they tried to take you,
Held you up and meant to break you down
But you can't be

For so long I tried to reach you,
I know I'm almost there,
I'm close enough
For you to see

CHORUS
And you've been hiding in the shadows
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Let me remind you the light doesn't blind you at all
It just helps you see
Oh, can you see
Yeah, you have become
Yeah, you have become beautiful

And I can't be the stranger that's been sleeping in your bed
Just turn around
And come to me
And I feel all the pain inside
And everything you've been denied, you feel
It's all you feel

CHORUS

Brush back your hair and look around you
Feeling like the truth has found you here
You're here with me
Let love become the mirror
With no fear
Where you fall

You have become
Yeah, you have become beautiful
