another day breaks n the last one's gone
u dig deep just to carry on
ur debt's paid off but it dont feel gone
so u slip out the back n u move along

i can never figure out how to make a case
that this don't amount to a fall from grace
she wants to know can i replace
this tired wool with satin lace

she says u're on a bridge to nowhere n u're gettin there fast
put it in the past
put it in the past
if this is a race then i hope u come last
u're on a bridge to nowhere n u're gettin there fast

pressure builds til it breaks the dome
u can build a house u can't build a home
n it's a fool who believes love is bred in the bone
n there r no guarantess that u wont get stoned

yeh i'm a fool who believed love is bred in the bone
n there r no guarantees that i wont get stoned

says ur on a bridge to nowhere n ur gettin there fast
put it in the past
put it in the past
if this is a race i hope u come in last
u're on a bridge to nowhere n u're gettin there fast

i dont know where it leads
oh no
all i know is i dont wanna breathe this chemical breeze
no more

so another day breaks n the last one's gone
u dig deep just to carry on
ur debt's paid off but it dont feel gone
so u slip out the back n u move along

says ur on a bridge to nowhere n u're gettin there fast
put it in the past
put it in the past
if this is a race then i hope u come last
u're on a bridge to nowhere n u're gettin there fast

yeh u're on a bridge to nowhere n u're gettin there fast
put it in the past
put it in the past
if this is a race then i hope u come last
u're on a bridge to nowhere n u're gettin there fast

Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush - 1978
Number 1 in the UK for 4 weeks, got no airplay in the USA.

Hear it and watch a beautiful dance interpretation of the original music video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f869ZcWfjmM

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in in your window

Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find a lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master

Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in in a your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in in a your window

Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in a you -window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in a your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold

Black Sabbath - "Master of Reality" album (1971)

Yes, these are actual lyrics from a Black Sabbath album! This is the 2nd song off of the follow-up album to their breakthrough album, "Paranoid".


After Forever

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead
You just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head
Or is he a part of you
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book
When you were at school?

When you think about death do you lose your breathe
Or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope, on the end of a rope
- Do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth. Yes I have seen the light
And I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely
And scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what you friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above
They should realize before they criticise
That God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun

I think it was true it was people like you
That crucified Christ
I think it sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near
Say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down
Now you can't retrieve.

Perhaps you'll think before you say
That God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just, realize that He is the One
The only One Who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear?
Yes! - I think it's too late.

down at the astoria the scene was changin
bingo n rock were pushin out x rating
we were the first band to vomit in the bar
n find the distance to the stage too far
meanwhile it's gettin late at 10:00
rock is dead they say
long live rock

long live rock
i need it everynite
long live rock
cmon n join the line
long live rock
be it dead or alive

ppl walk in sideways pretendin that they're leavin
we put on our makeup n work all the lead-ins
jack is in the alley sellin tickets made in hong kong
promoters in the pay box wonderin where the bands gone
back in the pub the governor stops the clock
rock is dead they say
long live rock

long live rock
i need it everynite
long live rock
cmon n join the line
long live rock
be it dead or alive

landslide
rocks r fallin
fallin down around our very heads
we tried
but u were yawnin
look again
rock is dead
rock is dead
rock is dead

the place is really jumpin to the hi watt amps
til a 20 inch cymbal fell n cut the lamps
in the blackout they dance rite into the aisles
n as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles
some1 takes his pants off n the rafters knock
rock is dead they say
long live rock

long live rock!!!!
long live ro-o-ck!!!!!
LONG LIVE RAWK!!!!!!!!

long live rock!!!!!!!
long live rock!!!!!!!!
long live rock!!!!!!!!!
long live rock!!!!!!!!!!
long live rock!!!!!!!!!!!!

long live rock
i need it everynite
long live rock
cmon n join the line
long live rock
be it dead or alive

[alasdair]

i started with the catalogue of every sunny day
but the wind came over a mountain and blew all my work away
i tried to write another
but the sunny days were gone
they were all replaced by photographs and fibreglass and styrofoam
i knew i should surrender
but a memory remains
of vitamins and flesh and wealth of what i thought was mine
and everything like fruit that was just rotting on the vine

some things are cast off
and some things are kept
a pocket of silver
a lovers caress
there's one thing i've heard that i will never forget
a bird in the hand is worth..........less

a pheasant rose out from the bush and flew across the field
i battered him with bullets
just to see if he would yield
dont take offense if i refuse your offerings of help
sometimes there are birds that i would rather kill myself
i'd learn to pull his feathers off
and stuff him full of salt
i'd eat his breast and wing and stick a feather in my cap
and drink so much i'd speak in tongues until everything went black

some things are cast off
and some things are kept
a pocket of silver
a lovers caress
there's one thing that i've heard that i will never forget
a bird in the hand is worth........less

 

[alasdair]

if it be your will
that i speak no more
and my voice be still
as it was before
i will speak no more
i shall abide until
i'am spoken for
if it be your will

if it be your will
that a voice be true
from this broken hill
i will sing to you
from this broken hill
all your praises they shall ring
if it be your will
to let me sing

from this broken hill
all your praises they shall ring
if it be your will
to let me sing

if it be your will
if there is a choice
let the rivers fill
let the hills rejoice
let your mercy spill
on all these burning hearts in hell
if it be your will
to make us well

and draw us near
and bind us tight
all your children here
in their rags of light
in our rags of light
all dressed to kill
and end this night
if it be your will

if it be your will

We busted outta class, had to get away from these fools.
We learned more from a 3 minute record baby, than we ever learned in school.

Every Dawg by Corey Smith, GO GEORGIA BULLDAWGS!!!

A long ride back from Jacksonville
500 miles from a game we should've won
Man, we oughta' burn down that stadium
Thought this year was gonna' be ours
Talkin' too much junk in those Florida bars
Now I'm stunned
Man, I wish it was 1981

AND I KNOW WHY THEY SAY
EVERY DAWG HAS HIS DAYS
CAN'T WIN EVERY GAME WE PLAY
BUT EVERY DAWG HAS HIS DAYS

Longing for those glory days
Like the one when he cried, "Run, Lindsey, Run!"
I was too young to be there, but I'm sure it was fun
Bet that crowd was flyin' high
And I bet Glory to Ol' Georgia was cried as the band played
Man, I wish I could feel that way today

AND I KNOW WHY THEY SAY
EVERY DAWG HAS HIS DAYS
CAN'T WIN EVERY GAME WE PLAY
BUT EVERY DAWG HAS HIS DAYS

And I play back my favorite victories
Like that last minute win up in Tennessee
I bet them hobnails hurt like hell
And I got sweet memories of 2002
Won the SEC and the Sugar Bowl, too
Man, we had a ball on Bourbon Street
Those were the days

Just got my tickets in the mail
September's coming fast and I can hardly wait
They say these guys, they might take us all the way
And if they do I'll be flyin' high
and there'll prob'ly be a happy tear in my eye
But rain or shine, I'll be yellin'
"Go Dawgs!" from the 20-yard line

AND I KNOW WHY THEY SAY
EVERY DAWG HAS HIS DAYS
CAN'T WIN EVERY GAME WE PLAY
BUT EVERY DAWG HAS HIS DAYS

And we'll be singin',
"Glory, glory to ol' Georgia,
Glory, glory to ol' Georgia,
Glory, glory to ol' Georgia,
Oh, Georgia, hail to thee."

if i gore veil
in my mind
i could turn to reality
i would leave
you behind
put you far away from me
through this veil
i will find
i can see my mortality
i can see it stare back at me
i can see it point and laugh at me

i've been lost
all my life
now i found whats meant for me
on the edge
of a knife
is a calm simplicity
in the storm
and the strife
theres a moments clarity
when the quivering frailty
now is all but fled from me

today i saw an apple in my head
and there was blood on my hands
well everything was fire engine red
and all the gutter pigeons sang

ba bada ba
ba bada ba
ba bada ba

just as a point
of departure
could this veil grow wings and fly?
but the truth
that i harbour
has no veil to make you cry
what a shame
there is no cure
for a fear of things that die
for a need to tell a lie
for a dryness in the eye

today i saw an apple in my head
and there was blood on my hands
well everything was fire engine red
and all the black guys they sang

ba bada ba
ba bada ba
ba bada ba

what am i for?
what am i for?
if not to lie among the palms
what am i for?
what am i for?
if not to sing another song
what am i for?
what am i for?
if not to paint the walls with blood
what am i for?
what am i for?
if not to bury in the mud
what am i for?
what am i for?
if not to build a shelter here
what am i for?
what am i for?
if not to pass another year
what am i for?
what am i for?
if not to wander through the rye
what am i for?
what am i for?
what am i for?

if not to die

ba bada ba
ba bada ba
ba bada ba

ba bada ba
ba bada ba
ba bada ba

ba bada ba
ba bada ba
ba bada ba........

Incubus - Dig

We all have a weakness.
Some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye, and ask for forgiveness
or make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us.
At least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up,
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.

If I turn into another....
Dig me up from under
what is covering the better part of me.
Sing this song.
Remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness,
cleverly attaches and multiplies,
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us.
at least we dig each other.
So when sickness turns my ego up,
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.

If I turn into another...
Dig me up from under
what is covering the better part of me.
Sing this song.
Remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
Oh, each other.
When everything else is gone.

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 could 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 ten 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

Against the Grain

You need not, to climb mountaintops
You need not, to cross the sea
You need not, to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak.

You need not to reach for the stars,
when life becomes so dark
and when the wind
does blow against the grain
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

when all your friends
have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines
and the happiness for which you long
is washed away, like an oceans tide
when all the hard times, outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood

when the day seems lost from the stars
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

If you feel, you paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life,
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake, to find you're abandoned.
and the road you travel, leads to a dead end

when death creeps in, to play it's part.
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

My Friends- Red Hot Chili Peppers

My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide...'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will

Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

Imagine me, taught by tragedy
Release is peace

I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
To give your love no matter what
Is what she said

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
