Only Time-Enya

Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time

Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose
- Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time

Who knows? Only time

I'm coming after you-Owl City

I saw your face in a criminal sketch
Don't be alarmed 'cause you don't know me yet
I'm on the prowl now, sniffing around this town for you
Calling all cars, there's an officer down
Shot to the heart on the night on the town, and
The evidence of your fingerprints was found, and now

You got the right to remain right here with me
I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit
Love is a high speed chase racing down the street

Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you

Oh no, here we go once again
We both know you'll never turn yourself in
So I'm driving 'till it's light out, searching for your hideout
(Driving 'till it's light out, searching for your hideout)
Pick up the pace as I chase you around
One of these days I'll end up tracking you down
But yeah, I've got the feeling I'll be letting you loose when I do

Because you, you got the right to remain right here with me
I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit
Love is a high speed chase racing down the street
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you

You got the right to remain right here with me
I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit
Love is a high speed chase racing down the street

Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
(Love is a high speed chase racing down the street)

You got the right to remain right here with me
I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit
Love is a high speed chase racing down the street

Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you
Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you

I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you!

That (Such a Thing) - Hurt (my wedding song!)

There's a place where people dance
While holding hands
To light of the moon.........
They sing to me tunes...
And I'm not ugly
And loved ones that die still survive with no pain
And I'd lose if it went away
Just how do I begin to explain..
By the way, your way or my way's okay 'cause either way it don't have a name
It's when she loved me
The taste of the dew and the music in you

It's the moment that don't let you down
A place you go when there's no one around
The taste you know when the tears touch your mouth

What you think
What you seek
What you find
And I know that it's always around
Yeah I know that it's always around

I know you tend to complicate the choice you make
But please don't lose something so beautiful
It's very lovely
But who am I to stay in this world that I made?
And I knew when your wind went away
Yeah I knew 'cause you whispered my name

And said you loved me
But how could I ever explain such a thing

It's the moment you open your eyes
While you think that they're all still alive
Till the taste of the tears will remind

What you feel
What you'd fear
What you'd find
It's the moment that won't let you down
It's your scream when you can't make a sound
It's all you see with the tears rolling down

It's what you think
It's what you fear
But you know you will find
And you know that it's always around
You know that it's always around

...and I know that it's always around...

Je Suis Un Homme by Zazzie

Je suis un homme de cro-magnon
Je suis un singe ou un poisson
Sur la terre, en toute saison
Moi je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond

Je suis un seul puis des millions
Je suis un homme au coeur de lion
A la guerre, en toute saison
Moi je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond

Je suis un homme plein d'ambitions
Belle voiture et belle maison
Dans la chambre, dans le salon
Moi je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond

Je fais l'amour et la r?volution
Je fais le tour de la question
J'avance, avance ? reculons
Oui je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond

Tu vois, j'suis pas un homme
Je suis le roi de l'illusion
Au fond qu'on me pardonne
Je suis le roi, le roi des cons

J'ai fait le monde ? ma fa?on
Coul? dans l'or et le b?ton
Corps en cage et coeur en prison
Moi je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond

Assis devant ma t?l?vision
Je suis de l'homme la n?gation
Pur produit de consommation
Mais mon compte est bon, mon compte est bon

Tu vois, j'suis pas un homme
Je suis le roi de l'illusion
Au fond qu'on me pardonne
Je suis le roi, le roi des cons

C'est moi le ma?tre du feu, le ma?tre du jeu
Le ma?tre du monde, et vois ce que j'en ai fait
Une terre glac?e, une terre br?l?e
La terre des hommes que les hommes abandonnent!

Je suis un homme au pied du mur
Comme une erreur de la nature
Sur la terre, sans d'autres raisons
Moi je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond

Je suis un homme et je mesure
Toute l'horreur de ma nature
Pour ma peine, ma punition
Moi je tourne en rond, je trourne en rond

Its a long song, but I love it and it makes me feel empowered

Memento Mori by Kamelot

Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes

When your time has come
You know you'll be lonely once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous
But you're not the only who must pretend

We're a second in time
We're the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined

I am the god in my own history
The master of the game
I may believe if she would come to me
And whisper out my name
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone
If life has ever been
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone
Can cut me free from sin

When you close your eyes
Mementos of summer retrieves your mind
Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air
When the winter blows
You're glad you remember you really tried

And it comes to an end
Even winter... life fall
And we all have our beliefs
Pray for mercy for all

I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
And pay for every sin

[Helena]
VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA
MEMENTO MORI

[Mephisto]
UNA VOCE... VOLO, NON VALEO
DULCE ET DECORUM EST
PRO PATRIA MORI
MEMENTO MORI

[Ariel]
So subservant in your embrace
No more denial
No run away
This is the final
My last recall
And that's the price for what we learn
The more we know the more we yearn
'Cause we're so alone

I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
The journey can begin
I'm still the god in my own history
I still believe that she will come to me
And whisper out my name

Some day we will come to peace
And reach beyond behind the lies
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes.....(Ariel)

 

[wyverary]

I couldn't possibly pick a favorite, but this one is up there. (I think I got all y'all beaten on the length front.)

Joanna Newsom
"Only Skin"

And there was a booming above you,
That night black airplanes flew over the sea,
And they were lowing and shifting like
Beaches whales,
Shelled snails,
As you strained and you squinted to see
The retreat of their hairless and blind cavalry.

You froze in your sand shoal,
Prayed for your poor soul;
Sky seemed a bread roll, soaking in a milk-bowl.

And when the bread broke—
Fell in bricks of wet smoke—
My sleeping heart woke, and my waking heart spoke.

Then there was a silence you took to mean something:
Mean, "run, sing,
For alive you will evermore be.
And the plague of the greasy black engines a-skulking
Has gone east,"
While you're left to explain them to me—
Released
From their hairless and blind cavalry.

With your hands in your pockets,
Stubbily running
To where I'm unfresh,
Undressed and yawning—

Well, what is this craziness?
This crazy talking?
You caught some small death
When you were sleepwalking.

It was a dark dream, darlin;
It's over.
The fire breather is beneath the clover.
Beneath his breathing there is cold clay, forever;
A toothless hound dog choking on a feather.

But I took my fishing pole (fearing your fever),
Down to the swimming hole, where there grows a bitter herb
That blooms but one day a year, by the riverside—
I'll bring it here:

Apply it gently
To the love you've lent me.

While the river was twisting and braiding, the bait bobbed
And the string sobbed
As it cut through the hustling breeze.

And I watched how the water was kneading so neatly,
Gone treacly,
Nearly slowed to a stop in this heat;
Frenzy coiling flush along the muscles beneath.

Press on me,
We are restless things.
Webs of seaweed are swaddling.
You call upon the dusk of the
Musk of a squid:
Shot full of ink, until you sink into your crib.

Rowing along, among the reeds, among the rushes,
I heard your song, before my heart had time to hush it!
Smell of a stonefruit being cut and being opened.
Smell of a low and of a lazy cinder smoking

And when the fire moves away,
Fire moves away, son.
Why would you say
I was the last one?

Scrape your knee: it is only skin.
Makes the sound of violins.

When I cut your hair, and leave the birds all the trimmings,
I am the happiest woman among all women.

And the shallow water stretches as far as I can see.
Knee deep, trudging along—
The seagull weeps "so long"—
I'm humming a threshing song—

Until the night is over, hold on,
Hold on;
Hold your horses back from the fickle dawn.

I have got some business out on the edge of town,
Candy weighing both of my pockets down
Till I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
(And knowing how the commonfolk condemn
What it is I do to keep you warm:
Being a woman. Being a woman.)

But always up the mountainside you're clambering,
Groping blindly, hungry for anything;
Picking through your pocket linings—
Well, what is this?
Scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?

I see the blossoms broke and wet after the rain.
Little sister, he will be back again.
I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain.
Spiders' ghosts hang, soaked and
Dangling silently, from all the blooming cherry trees,
In tiny nooses, safe from everyone—
Nothing but a nuisance; gone now, dead and done—
Be a woman. Be a woman.

Though we felt the spray of the waves,
We decided to stay, till the tide rose too far.
We weren't afraid, 'cause we know what you are;
And you know that we know what you are.

Awful atoll—
O, incalculable indiscreetness and sorrow!
Bawl, bellow:
Sibyl sea-cow, all done up in a bow.
Toddle and row;
Teethe an impalpable bit of leather,
While yarrow, heather and hollyhock
Awkwardly molt along the shore.

Are you mine?
My heart?
Mine anymore?

Stay with me for a while.
That's an awfully real gun.
I know life will lay you down,
As the lightning has lately done.

Failing this, failing this,
Follow me, my sweetest friend,
To see what you anointed,
In pointing your gun there.
Lay it down!
Nice and slow!
There is nowhere to go,

Save up;
Up where the light, undiluted, is
Weaving, in a drunk dream,
At the sight of my baby, out back:

Back on the patio,
Watching the bats bring night in

—while, elsewhere,
Estuaries of wax-white
Wend, endlessly, towards seashores unmapped.

Last week, our picture window
Produced a half-word,
Heavy and hollow,
Hit by a brown bird.

We stood and watched her gape like a rattlesnake,
And pant and labor over every intake.

I said a sort of prayer for some rare grace,
Then thought I ought to take her to a higher place.
Said, "dog nor vulture nor cat shall toy with you,
And though you die, bird, you will have a fine view."

Then, in my hot hand, she slumped her sick weight.
We tramped through the poison oak, heartbroke and inchoate.
The dogs were snapping, so you cuffed their collars
While I climbed the treehouse. Then how I hollered!

Cause she'd lain, as still as a stone, in my palm for a lifetime or two;
Then saw the treetops, cocked her head, and up and flew.
(While, back in the world that moves, often, according to
The hoarding of these clues,
Dogs still run roughly around
Little tufts of finch-down.)

The cities we passed were a flickering wasteland,
But his hand, in my hand, Made them hale and harmless.

While down in the lowlands, the crops are all coming;
We have everything.

Life is thundering blissful towards death

In a stampede
Of his fumbling green gentleness.

You stopped by;
I was all alive.
In my doorway, we shucked and jived.
And when you wept, I was gone;
See, I got gone when I got wise.
But I can't with certainty say we survived.

Then down and down
And down and down
And down and deeper,
Stoke, without sound,
The blameless flames,
You endless sleeper.

Through fire below,
And fire above,
And fire within,

Sleep through the things that couldn't have been,
If you hadn't have been.

And when the fire moves away,
Fire moves away, son.
Why would you say
I was the last one?

All my bones, they are gone, gone, gone.
(Take my bones, I don't need none.)
Cold, cold cupboard, lord, nothing to chew on!
(Suck all day on a cherry stone.)
Dig a little hole, not three inches round—
(Spit your seed in a hole in the ground.)
Weep upon the spot for the starving of me!
(Till up grows a fine young cherry tree.)
When the bough breaks, what'll you make for me?
(A little willow cabin to rest on your knee.)
What'll I do with a trinket such as this?
(Think of your woman, who's gone to the west.)
But I'm starving and freezing in my measly old bed!
(Then ill crawl across the salt flats to stroke your sweet head.)
Come across the desert with no shoes on!
(I love you truly,
Or I love no one.)

Fire moves away. Fire moves away, son.
Why would you say I was the last one?

Clear the room! There's a fire, a fire, a fire.
Get going,
And I'm going to be right behind you.

And if the love of a woman or two, dear,
Culd move you to such heights,
Then all I can do
Is do, my darling, right by you.

"Nobody's Fool" -- Cinderella

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It's time you realize

I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again, no, no

You take your road, I'll take mine
The paths have both been beaten
Searchin' for a change of pace
Love needs to be sweetened
I scream my heart out, just to make a dime
And with that dime I bought your love
But now I've changed my mind

I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again, no, no
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
Ohhh

I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool...

You see me soaring through the sky
I see you below as you walk on by
I could clear the sky in 10 second flat
How about that? How about that?

I could be sitting here on a cloud
Watching the sun as it starts to go down
the only thing missing
is you by my side

Give me a smidge of confidence
Give me a speck of something that makes sense
Give me an idea of dependency
Give me a dash of loyalty
Loyalty

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

The sun shines bright, yet the rain pours on
Rainbows here one minute and then they're gone
They remind me of me and you
What did you do?
What did i do?

Determination in those eyes
Where has it gone? Has it said goodbye?
A lot has happened
But I'll stay by your side

Give me a smidge of confidence
Give me a speck of something that makes sense
Give me an idea of dependency
Give me a dash of loyalty
Loyalty

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

Time stands still when you're with me
How can i make you see?
Your crazy antics make me want to scream
Your name so loud till my throat starts to bleed

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

Everywhere - Michelle Branch

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're, you're never there
And when I sleep you're, you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look you're never there
And every time I sleep you're always there

[Chorus]

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes, it's you I see
You're everything I know that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that you might not be real
I sense that now the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

[Chorus]

When I touch your hand
It's then I understand
That beauty lives within
It's now that we begin

You always liked my way
There never comes a day
Where no matter where I go
I always feel you so

[Chorus]

'Cause you're everywhere to me
When I catch my breath
It's you I bleed
You're everything I know that makes me believe
I'm not alone

'Cause you're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

Art of the Dress

Thread by thread, stitching it together
Twilight's dress, cutting out a pattern snip by snip
Making sure the fabric folds nicely
It's the perfect color and so hip
Always got to keep in mind my pacing
Making sure the cloth's correctly facing
I'm stitching Twilight's dress

Yard by yard, fussing on the details.
Jewel neckline. Don't you know a stitch in time saves nine?
Make her something perfect to inspire
Even though she hates formal attire
Got to mind those intimate details,
Even though she's more concerned with sales.
It's Applejack's new dress.

Dress making's easy
For Pinkie Pie something pink
Fluttershy something breezy
Blend color and form, do you think it looks cheesy?

Something brash, perhaps quite fetching
Hook and eye, couldn't you just simply DIE
Making sure it fits forelock and crest
Don't forget the magic in the dress
Even though it rides high on the flank
Rainbow won't look like a tank
I'm stitching Rainbow's dress

Piece by piece, snip by snip
Croup, dock, haunch, shoulders, hip
Thread by thread, primmed and pressed
Yard by yard, never stress
And that's the art of the dress

Now, the stars on my belt need to be technically accurate.
Orion has three stars on his belt, not four
Stitch by stitch, stitching it together
Deadline looms, don't you know the client's always right
Even if my fabric choice was perfect
Gotta get them all done by tonight
Pinkie Pie, the color is too obtrusive
Wait until you see it in the light
I'm sewing them together

Don't you think my gown would be more me with some lollipops?
Well, I think...
Balloons?
Well...
Do it!
Hour by hour, one more change
I'm sewing them together, take great pains

Fluttershy, you're putting me in a bind
Rainbowdash, what is on your mind
Oh my gosh, there's simply not much time
Don't forget, Applejack's duds must shine

Dressmaking's easy
Every customer's call
Brings a whole new revision
Have to pick up the pace, still hold to my vision

That constellation is Canis Major, not Minor.
French haute couture, please.
Eeeh...
What if it rains? Galoshes!
More balloons! Oh no, that's too many balloons.
More candy! Oh, less candy.
Oh wait, I know! Streamers!
Streamers?
Whose dress is this?
Streamers it is.
What?
Aren't you going to tell me to change something too?
No, I just want my dress to be cool.
Do you not like the color?
The color's fine, just make it look cooler.
Do you not like the shape?
The shape's fine, just make the whole thing, you know, cooler.
It needs to be about 20% cooler.

All we ever want is indecision
All we really like is what we know
Gotta balance style with adherence
Making sure we make a good appearance
Even if you simply have to fudge it
Make sure that it stays within our budget
Got to overcome intimidation
Remember it's all in the presentation

Piece by piece, snip by snip
Croup, dock, haunch, shoulders, hip
Bolt by bolt, primmed and pressed
Yard by yard, always stressed
And that's the art of the dress

Jaymay, gray or blue

"I feel so helpless now
My guitar is not around

• And I'm struggling with the xylophone
  To make these feelings sound
  And I'm remembering you singing
  And bringin' you to life
  It's raining out the window
  And today it looks like night
  
  You haven't written to me in a week
  I'm wondering why that is
  Are you too nervous to be lovers
  Friendship's ruined with just one kiss?
  I watched you very closely, I saw you look away
  Your eyes are either gray or blue
  I'm never close enough to say
  
  But your sweatshirt says it all
  With the hood over your face
  I can't keep starin' at your mouth
  Without wonderin' how it tastes
  I'm with another boy
  (He's asleep, I'm wide awake )
  And he tried to win my heart
  But it's taken
  (Time...)
  
  I know the shape of your hands
  Because I watch 'em when you talk
  And I know the shape of your body
  'Cause I watch it when you walk
  And I want to know it all
  But I'm giving you the lead
  So go on, go on and take it
  Don't fake it, shake it
  
  (Charming
  Crazy eyes have you
  Are they gray or blue?
  I won't make the move
  You must make the move
  If you make the move
  I will then approve
  If you do not move
  We will surely lose...)
  
  Don't second-guess your feelings
  You were right from the start
  And I notice she's your lover
  But she's nowhere near your heart
  This city is for strangers
  Like the sky is for the stars
  But I think it's very dangerous
  If we do not take what's ours
  
  And I'm winning you with words
  Because I have no other way
  I'd love to look into your face
  Without your eyes turning away
  Last night I watched you sing
  Because a person has to try
  And I walked home in the rain
  Because a person cannot lie..."

Skrillex, scary monsters and nice sprites

"You don't have to hide, my friend, for I am just like you. "

 

[Rocco]

These next two are ultra favorites of mine. San Narciso and Better. San N inspired me to start painting and this painting is my first serious effort at painting.

San Narciso

Out to sea we hear
Los Angeles calling
each one of us falling
into vorticist dreams.
In the air you see
the city cells sprawling
like circuits installing
these silicon dreams.
I run out of mind inside,
and so go out to find you,
but then something reminds you
Oh San Narciso shines
from sea to sea,
the message we’re sending,
we want to believe.
Oh concentrate
and watch us move the sea.
Entropically trending,
but we want to believe,
yeah, we want to believe.
I can work the phones
to sort out these demons
with some formal agreements,
or you could let down your hair.
I can feel your pulse
break free from surveillance,
now it’s the last thing that makes sense,
the only reason I care.
I ran out of mind inside,
and so I’m coming to find you
before something reminds you
Oh San Narciso shines
from sea to sea,
the message we’re sending,
we want to believe.
Oh concentrate
and watch us move the sea.
Entropically trending,
but we want to believe,
yeah, we want to believe.


Better
Better comes so slowly,
almost you forget
you’ll have no regrets.
You’d been looking
at the pages,
you could read them,
but not yourself,
not yourself now.
Letters written slowly
so you don’t forget
the last thing you confessed.
You’d been looking
in the mirror,
you could see her
but not yourself,
not yourself now.
Days were faring well,
the things you could not tell.
Dazed with atmosphere,
you thought you’d find her here,
but not yourself now,
not yourself now..

This is my painted copy of their album cover.

Here are the lyrics to just two of my favorite songs, both from one album... I have a huge music collection so I'll probably make a lot of posts in this thread.

"The Last Sled" by Tuomas Holopainen

There's gold, and it's haunting and haunting
It's moving me on as of old
Yet it isn't the gold I'm wanting so much as just finding the gold
It's the great, big, broad land way up yonder

The great, broad land way up yonder
Haunting him as of old
Yet it ain't the gold itself
So much as finding the gold

Farewell, White Agony Creek
Farewell, the three long years
Can't leave behind what's in this sled

Things we lost
The things we couldn't share
Another rainbow's end
Another memory
Fortuna favet fortibus
Hold on to all that's dear to you
As the last sled to Dawson finally arrives

It's the forests, where silence has lease
It's the beauty that fills me with wonder
It's the stillness that fills me with peace

The stillness that fills him with peace
The beauty of the wild
Rainbow's end with golden dreams
Starlit sky and coffee and beans

Farewell, White Agony Creek
Farewell, the three spring thaws
One day I will return to you

Things we lost
The things we couldn't share
Another rainbow's end
Another memory
Fortuna favet fortibus
Hold on to all that's dear to you
As the last sled to Dawson finally arrives

"A Lifetime of Adventure" by Tuomas Holopainen

To be rich is to still remember
To treasure your first dime
To have that chance to say farewell

Story of your life
Time of solitude and strife
Freedom of an open road
Hope and many miles to go
Promises to keep
Countless goldfields to reap
To be rich is to seek
To relive a memory

Far-off lands, quests of old
Self-respect, true grit
Never cared what a fortune might buy
To seek is to be rich

Story of your life
Time of solitude and strife
Freedom of an open road
Hope and many miles to go
Promises to keep
Countless goldfields to reap
To be rich is to seek
To relive a memory

All the strangers on your path
Crossroads, the letters from home
The cooling embers of a Yuletide hearth
All the songs of wilderness
The truth in which you roamed
Now your lost Rosebud has brought you back home

Story of your life
Time of solitude and strife
Freedom of an open road
Hope and many miles to go
Promises to keep
Countless goldfields to reap
To be rich is to seek
To relive a memory

I consider this to be my theme song. My late husband felt strongly about it too. Because it resonated with both of us, and our first date included watching The Wall, we called this "our song." (Note: Both of us had serious childhood illnesses that caused us to have prolonged high fevers, the like of which is mentioned in this song.)

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Hello. Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?

Come on now,
I hear you're feeling down.
I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax. I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain. You are receding.
The distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child, I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now, I've got that feeling once again.
I can't explain. You would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

I have become comfortably numb.

Okay, just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more, “Aaaaaaaah!”
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going through the show.
Come on, it's time to go.

There is no pain. You are receding.
The distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child,
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown.
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

I got 5 on it
By Luniz


Creep on it,Woo, see I'm ridin' higher and higher, woo-oo
Kinda broke so ya know all I gots five, I got five

Player, give me some brew an I might just chill,
But I'm the type that like to light another joint Like Cypress Hill
I'm still doobies spit loogies when I puff on it,
I got some bucks on it, but it ain't enough on it
Go get the S-t. I-d-e-s
Never the less, I'm hella Fresh,
Rollin' joints like a cigarette
So pass it cross the table like Ping Pong, I'm gone, beatin' my chest like King Kong,
It's on, wrap my lips around a 40,
And when it comes to get another stogie,
Fools all kick in like Shinobi
No, me ain't my homie to begin with,
It's too many heads to be poppin' at my friend hit it
Unless you pull out the phat, crispy
Five dollar bill on the real before its history
'cause fools be havin' the vacuum lungs,
An if you let em hit it for free,
You hella "dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb"
I come to school with a Taylor on my earlobe
Avoidin' all the thick teasers, skeezers, and weirdos
I be blowin' up the land like where tha bomb at?
Give me two bucks,
You take a puff, and pass my bomb back
Suck up the dank like a slurpy the serious bomb
Will make a nigga go delirious like Eddie Murphy
I got more growin' pains than Maggie
'cause homies nag me,
To take the dank out of the baggie

I got five on it,
Grab your 40, let's get keyed
I got five on it, Messin' wit that Indo' weed I got five on it,
It's got me stuck and not go back
I got five on it,
Potna lets go half on a sack

I take sacks to the face,
Whenever I can,
Don't need no cruch
I'm so keyed up,
Till the joint be burnin' my hand
Next time I roll it in a hampa (slang for hav-a-tampa cigars)
To burn slo',
So the ashes won't be burnin' up my hand, bra
Hoochies can hit,
But they know they got to pitch in,
Then I roll a joint that's longer than your extension
'cause I'll be damned if you get high off me for free
Hell no, you betta' bring your own spliff, chief
Whats up, don't make me sip that,
Better pass the joint!
Stop hittin' 'cause you know ya got Asthma
Crack a 40 open, homie, an guzzel it,
'cause I know the weed in my system is gettin' lonely
I gotta take a whiz test to my P-O
I know how I failed 'cause I done smoked major weed bro,
An every time we with Chris that fool rollin' up a fattie,
But the Tanqueray straight had me

I got five on it,
Grab your 40, let's get keyed
I got five on it,
Messin' wit that Indo' weed
I got five on it,
It's got me stuck and not go back
I got five on it,
Potna lets go half on a sack

Hey, make this right man,
Stop at the light man,
My yester night thang got me hung off the night train
You fade, I face
So let's head to da east
Hit the stroll to 9-0 so we can roll big, hot sheets
I wish I could fade the ache
But I'm low budget,
Still rollin' a 2 door cutglass, same 'ole bucket
Foggy windows, soggy Indo,
I'm in tha land gettin' smoked wit my kinfolk
Been smoked,
Yuk'll, the sprayer lay it down,(yuk stands for yukmouth)
Up in the OAK the Town
Homies don't play around,
We down to blaze a pound
Then eaz up,
Speed up through the ESO drink the V.S.O.P.
P up with the lemon squeeze up
And everybody's rolled up, I'm da rolla
That's quick to fold a blunt out of a buncha sticky dosia
Hold up, suck up my weed as all you do
Kick in feed, cause where I be's we need tab like a foo-foo

I got five on it,
Grab your 40, let's get keyed
I got five on it,
Messin' wit that Indo' weed
I got five on it,
It's got me stuck and not go back
I got five on it,
Potna lets go half on a sack

Blindness
By Metric

Send us a blindfold, send us a blade
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blindfold, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Find us a trap door, find us a plane
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blindfold never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a battle I never chose
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me

 

[tree]

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,

and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,

A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,

And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,

And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;

"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;

The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men." ---Longfellow


There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
Can't add my name into the fight while I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it, I guess I'll have to do it
Guess I'll have to do it while I'm here -------Ochs

Search And Destroy

I'm a street walking cheetah
with a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am a world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys
Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby detonates for me
Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology !
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight
Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby penetrates my mind
And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy said
hey forgotten boy

Iggy Pop & the Stooges

You can't save me, any more than you can save yourself, so stop f*cking trying.

I'll be sorry, so you've said. Well I'm not sorry, BANG, you're dead.
