Voices - Yoko Kanno

Hitotsume no kotoba wa yume
Nemuri no naka kara
Mune no oku no kurayami wo sotto
Tsuredasu no

Futatsume no kotoba wa kaze
Yukute wo oshiete
Kamisama no ude no naka e
Tsubasa wo aoru no

Tokete itta kanashii koto wo
Kazoeru you ni
Kin'iro no ringo ga
Matta hitotsu ochiru

Mita koto mo nai fuukei
Soko ga kaeru basho
Tatta hitotsu no inochi ni
Tadoritsuku basho

Furui mahou no hon
Tsuki no shizuku yoru no tobari
Itsuka aeru yokan dake

We can fly, we have wings
We can touch floating dreams
Call me from so far
Through the wind, in the light


Mitsume no kotoba wa 'hmm'
Mimiwosumashitara
Anata no furueru ude wo
Sotto tokihanatsu


Any transcription errors are mine, of course. A wonderfully haunting song, to me at least. Especially the final verse. :)

Switchfoot - "Meant To Live"

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live


hehe, bad day song. Usually played right before I tell the world to F#$K off and spend the entire day playin SL.

Nice thread Chip - and my best to you all. My favorite songs these days have more than a bit of melacholy - between endings and beginnings. Here are two that are favorites wheen i am in need of Sad Song Therapy - one from the great Canadian poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen and the other from one of your better American song writers - Joe Henry.

In My Secret Life:

I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There’s no one in sight.
And we’re still making love
In My Secret Life.

I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I’d die for the truth
In My Secret Life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank God it’s not that simple
In My Secret Life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.


Lock and Key:

Holy cow, look what you’ve done
You’ve got me now so I can’t speak;
I wonder how you turned out the stars
I hear your laugh
Like falling railway cars,
Far and away, peaking through the bars
Safe behind your own lock and key
--safe for now from me

God only knows how I love you
But God and his ghost
And his roadhouse crew
Ran me out of town on a silver rail
Free at last and begging him for jail


- got to love a song that starts with the words "holy cow."

love to the lovers- iris

From: Xtopherxaos Ixtab
St. Stephen - The Grateful Dead (I heard it live 2 times!!!!)

Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of the garden he goes
Country garland in the wind and the rain
Wherever he goes the people all complain

Stephen prosper in his time
Well he may and he may decline
Did it matter? does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

Wishing well with a golden bell
Bucket hanging clear to hell
Hell halfway twixt now and then
Stephen fill it up and lower down
And lower down again

Lady finger dipped in moonlight
Writing `what for?' across the morning sky
Sunlight splatters dawn with answers
Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye

Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
Several seasons with their treasons
Wrap the babe in scarlet covers call it your own

Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills
One man gathers what another man spills (wisdom!)

Saint Stephen will remain
All he's lost he shall regain
Seashore washed by the suds and the foam
Been here so long he's got to calling it home

Fortune comes a crawlin, Calliope woman
Spinning that curious sense of your own
Can you answer? Yes I can,
but what would be the answer to the answer man?



woohoo another dead fan :)

*nervously walks in* Uh, my favorite song that I know all the lyrics to is a Billy Joel song. does that make me a bad person? o.O

Summer, Highland Falls

They say that these are not the best of times
but they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria.

So we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our seperate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanities
A reason co-exists with our insanities
and though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria.

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And so we stand upon the ledges of our lives
Wih our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria.

Not in the least, Billy Joel is kewl...I still love Piano Man and The Stranger. Some of his '80's stuff was lame, but he is very talented nonetheless

"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,

Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


"Imagine" by John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Love me two times baby,
once for tomorrow,

(1.2.3.4)
Bitchin' Camaro,
Bitchin' Camaro!
I ran over my neighbors
Bitchin' Camaro,
Bitchin' Camaro!
Now I'm in all the papers

My folks bought me a bitchin' Camaro
With no insurance to match
So if I happen to run you down
Please don't leave a scratch

I ran over some old lady
One night at the county fair
And I didn't get arrested
Because my dad's the mayor

Bitchin' Camaro,
Bitchin' Camaro!
Donuts on your lawn
Bitchin' Camaro,
Bitchin' Camaro!
Tony Orlando and Dawn

When I drive past the kids
They all spit and cuss
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And they have to ride the bus

So you'd better get out of my way
When I come through your yard
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And an Exxon credit card

Bitchin' Camaro,
Bitchin' Camaro!
Hey man where ya headed?
Bitchin' Camaro,
Bitchin' Camaro!
I'm drunk on unleaded!


"Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance To Anything)" by The Dead Milkmen

You'll dance to anything [x4]

Oh, baby, look at you
Don't you look like Siouxsie Sioux
How long'd it take to get that way
What a terrible waste of energy
You wear black clothes say you're poetic
The sad truth is you're just pathetic
Get into the groove just get out of my way
I came here to drink not to get laid
So why don't you just go on home
'Cause if you want to moan you'll have to moan alone

You'll dance to anything [x2]

Don't try to tell me that you're an intellectual
Cause you're just another boring bisexual
"I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party"
Blow it out your hairdo 'cause you work at Hardees
80 pounds of make up on your art school skin
80 points of I.Q. located within

Know what you are? You're a bunch of ...
Artfags! Artfags! Artfags! Artfags!
Choke on this you dance-a-teria types!

You'll dance to anything by The Communards
You'll dance to anything by Book of Love
You'll dance to anything by The Smiths
You'll dance to anything by Depeche Commode
You'll dance to anything by Public Image Limited
You'll dance to anything by Naked Truth
You'll dance to anything by any bunch of stupid Europeans who come over here
with their big hairdos intent on taking our money instead of giving your
cash, where it belongs, to a decent American artist like myself!

You'll dance to anything!

"Suberranean Homesick Alien" - Radiohead

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They're all uptight
Uptight..

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..

I'm just uptight
Uptight..

Xavier Naidoo - Und wenn ein Lied (Lyric)
01-14-2005 11:53
Und wenn ein lied

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt,
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst,
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Sag ein kleines Stückchen Wahrheit,
sieh wie die Wüste lebt.
Schaff ein kleines bißchen Klarheit,
und schau wie sich der Schleier hebt.
Eine Wüste aus Beton und Asphalt,
doch sie lebt und öffnet einen Spalt.
Der dir Neues zeigt,
zeigt, das Altes weicht.
Auch wenn dein Schmerz bis an den Himmel reicht.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Dieses Lied ist nur für dich,
schön, wenn es dir gefällt.
Denn es kam so über mich,
wie die Nacht über die Welt.
Schnellt Gefahr aus der Dunkelheit,
bin ich zum ersten Schlag bereit.
Ich bin der erste, der dich befreit,
und einer der letzten, der um dich weint.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

In unserer Sanduhr fällt das letzte Korn,
ich habe gewonnen und hab ebenso verloren.
Jedoch missen möchte ich nichts,
alles bleibt unser gedanklicher Besitz.
Und eine bleibende Erinnerung,
Zwischen Tag und Nacht legt sich die Dämmerung.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt,
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst,
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt,
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst...

Damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst
:)

Son Of A Son Of A Sailor
By: Jimmy Buffett

As the son of a son of a sailor
I went out on the sea for adventure
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture

As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
I have chalked up many a mile
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
And I learned much from both of their styles

Chorus:
Son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer

Now away in the near future
Southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the mango man
As he greats you at the border

And the lady she hails from Trinidad
Island of the spices
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet
And the rum is for all your good vices

Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
That our forefathers harnessed before us
Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings
It's a son of a gun of a chorus

Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I cruise along always searchin' for songs
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker

But a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer

I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer

The Tom Tom Club

"Wordy Rappinghood"


What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

Words in papers, words in books
Words on TV, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but don't go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

Mots pressé, mots sensé,
Mots qui disent la verité,
Mots maudits, mots mentis,
Mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

It's a rap race, with a fast pace
Concrete words, abstract words
Crazy words and lying words
Hazy words and dying words
Words of faith and tell me straight
Rare words and swear words
Good words and bad words

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

Words can make you pay and pay
Four-letter words I cannot say
Panty, toilet, dirty devil
Words are trouble, words are subtle
Words of anger, words of hate
Words over here, words out there
In the air and everywhere
Words of wisdom, words of strife
Words that write the book I like
Words won't find no right solution
To the planet earth's pollution
Say the right word, make a million
Words are like a certain person
Who can't say what they mean
Don't mean what they say
With a rap rap here and a rap rap there
Here a rap, there a rap
Everywhere a rap rap

Rap it up for the common good
Let us enlist the neighbourhood
It's okay, I've overslept
This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye.

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

He'll stop ... Don't stop ... Stop.


Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

"Pablo Picasso"


Well, some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Well the girls would turn the color
Of the avacado when he would drive
Down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down you street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not like you

Alright

Well he was only 5'3"
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not in New York

Oh well be not schmuck, be not obnoxious,
Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole
Remember the story of Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Alright this is it

well Some people try to pick up girls
And they get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called

Rubber Ducky you're the one

Rubber Ducky I'm awfully fond of you
OOh ooh ooh oh yeah

Rub a damn dubby

Rubber Ducky I really get off with
Rubber Ducky I'll never be dry with you!

Well i love so many songs it's so hard to pick one so i'll just post a random favorite...
some of my top favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, Alanis Morissette, Green Day, No Doubt, Incubus, and many many many more the list goes on and on and on...

The Battle Of Evermore
By Led Zeppelin

Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

Gotta love this song!!!

The Stereophonics...

I'm Alright (You Gotta Go There To Come Back)"

I'll drink another drink for you
One, two, three, four, five, once I drank a fish alive
I'll drop another pill for you
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, did it before, I'll do it again

I'll tell another joke for you
Did you hear the one about the one that looks like you
I'll sleep with sleep arounds for you
Why don't you scratch my back and chew the tongue I chew

I'm alright
I'm alright

I'll tell another lie for you
Tell you what you wanna hear, but that don't make it true
I'll wear another smile for you
That way you know I'm fine, and having fun with you

I'll draw another line for you
That way you know I'm hip, that way you know I'm cool
I'll smoke another smoke for you
I'll blow back in your mouth and you can blow back too

I'm alright
I'm alright
You gotta go there to come back

I'll take another punch for you
Tie my hands behind my back, that way you cannot lose
I'll make another pound for you
So you can drive your motor car, and drive you to the moon

I'm alright
I'm alright, alright

You. Me. Us. Free... we're alright, alright

Love. Pain. Hate. Rain... we're alright, alright

Give. Take. Time. Place... we're alright, alright

Hey I lied... but you guys don't mind :)



Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye

I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking the test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
I couldn't hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel

Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It doesn't take away the pain

That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know

There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We are, the youth of the nation



P.O.D., Youth of the Nation

My favorite has to be Tsubasa wa Pleasure Line sung by Kuribayashi Minami *youll reconize the first half as the Chrno Crusade Theme all you Otakus out there*

ichiban kirei na sora wo tobouyo
tashika na mirai he Try!

negai ha hitomi no naka kagayaite afureru egao
nagare ni tsubasa wo azukete ima ha furikae razuni

meguri aeta kiseki ha Pleasure Line
yakusoku shitayo ne

ichiban kirei na sora he tobouyo
nando taore temo "Try!"
kizutsu kinagara tsukamu ashita
yasashiiku tsuyoku kataru kimi wo wasurenai itsumo...

kokoro wo nurashita ame hitoshi zuku hikari ni tokete
itami ni furueru tsubasa mo chiisa na ai wo mamoru no

wasarenai de sekai ha Pleasure Line
kesshite kowakunai

mihatenu sora wo futari de tobouyo
te wo hanasanai de "Fly!"
samayoi nagara motomeru yume
asayake no matsu oka de kimi wo atsuku dakishimete

omoidaseba hoho ni kaze ha fuite
watashitachi no maeni michishirube oite kureru

mihatenu sora wo futari de tobouyo
te wo hanasanai de "Fly!"
samayoi nagara motomeru yume
asayake no matsu oka de kimi to

ichiban kirei na sora wo tobouyo
tashika na mirai he to
kizutsu kinagara tsukameba ii
yasashiiku tsuyoku kataru kimi ha asayake ni Fly away

One of many that I like is Bobby Brown goes down by Frank Zappa.

Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
They say I'm the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
I'm dressin'sharp 'n' I'm
Actin' cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work 'n' maybe later I'll rape her
Oh God I am the American dream
I do not think I'm too extreme
An' I'm a handsome sonofabitch
I'm gonna get a good job 'n' be real rich

Women's Liberation
Came creepin' across the nation
I tell you people, I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick
Oh God I am the American dream
But now I smell like Vaseline
An' I'm a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady... I don't know which

So I went out 'n' bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute
Got a job doin' radio promo
And none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
Eventually me 'nd a friend
Sorta of drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
As long as I get a little golden shower
Oh God I am the American dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An' I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin,' "Thank you, Fred!"
Oh God, Oh God, I'm so fantastic!
Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down,
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down, etc.

This is a song that's been running through my head the last few days as I scanned the forums.

Army of Me

Stand up
You've got to manage
I won't sympathize
Anymore

And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me

You're alright
There's nothing wrong
Self-sufficience please
And get to work

And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me

You're on your own now
We won't save you
Your rescue-squad
Is too exhausted

And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me

Bjork

And one of my favorite songs for lyrics in general, by one of my favorite bands..

Don Quixote

Honor was not just a word
To Knights of old who pledged their faith
In love over gold, love over gold
Now they laughed at his fantasy world
And maximized all the potentials to earn
The middle class was too blind to see
The true nobility of Don Quixote

Oh, Don Quixote fight your way into their hearts
Commit your hearts all
Oh, Don Quixote fight your way into their hearts
Commit your hearts

How unreal are the dragons he slays
Is his coat of arms just an empty cliche
Colossal ignorance shared by the crowd
The brainless bigots cast an inhuman shroud
Many hearts and minds are going to waste
So many hearts and minds are going to waste
Hearts and minds are going to waste
So many hearts and minds

Liberal philosophies you wear like your clothes
The modern hypocrite he don't even know
Who could be proud of this blank generation
Who could be proud of you blank

I said oh, Don Quixote fight your way into their hearts
Commit your hearts all
Oh, Don Quixote fight your way into their hearts
Commit your hearts

Sit there, sit there watching!

Extreme - More Than Words

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words


This song was played constantly on the radio after a very close friend was murdered. This song brought me comfort and a whole new meaning. I very rarely share these type of thoughts so enjoy :)

Those Sweet Words by Norah Jones

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say

And now the day
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody

All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin

Come on in
Did you have a hard time sleeping
'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake
And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again

See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appear

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody

I just have to hear
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words

Santeria
01-15-2005 17:47
I don't practice santeria
I ain't got no crystal ball
Well I had a million dollars but I'd
I'd spend it all
If I could find that heina
And that sancho that she's found
Well I'd pop a cap in sancho and I'd slap her down.
What I really wanna know
Ah baby
mmm What I really want to say
I can't define
Well it's love, that I neeeeed, oh
My soul will have to-
Wait till I get back
Find heina of my own
Daddy's gonna love one and all

I feel the break, feel the break,
feeeel the break
And I got to live it up, oh yea huh
Well I swear that I

What I really wanna know
Ah baby
What I really want to say
I can't define.
That love make it go-woh
My soul will have to...

What I really wanna say
Ah baby
What I really wanna say
Is I've got mine
And I'll make it
oh Yes, I'm comin' up.

Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him
he best go run and hide
Daddy's got a new .45
And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk ass

What I really wanna know
Ah baby
What I really wanna say
Is there's just one
Way back, and I'll ma-e-a-e-ake it, yeah
My soul will have to wait yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeea, yeah, yeaah
