Some Kind Of Wonderful
Grand Funk Railroad

I don't need a whole lot's of money
I don't need a big fine car
I got everything that a man could want
I got more than I could ask for
And I don't have to run around
I don't have to stay out all night
'Cause I got me a sweet, a sweet loving woman
And she know just how to treat me right
CHORUS:
But my baby, she's alright
But my baby, clean out of sight
Don't you know that she's
She's some kind of wonderful
She's some kind of wonderful
Yes, she is, she is
She's some kind of wonderful
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I hold her in my arms
You know she sets my soul on fire
Oh, when my baby kisses me
My heart becomes filled with desire
When she wraps her loving arms around me
It about drives me out of my mind
Yeah, when my baby kisses me
Chills run up and down my spine
CHORUS
Now is there anybody
Got a sweet little woman like mine
There's got to be somebody
Got a, got a sweet little woman like mine
Yeah, now can I get a whiplash
Well, can I get a witness
Well, can I get a witness
Well, can I get a witness
Well, can I get a witness
Well, can I get a witness
I'm talking, talking about my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
I'm talking about my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)........repeat until fade

mercy, severity, mudvayne.

We've come here, from so far away,
I can save you,
If you leave it all behind
This suffering's, been far too long,
Would you take a trip with me
On the back of a star,
I feel like earth's gravity is just hre to pull us down.

Mother of creation wait, embrace the souls of a lost world
Carry them away,
Darkness negative receptive,
Pour firmament between our waters
Separate the space
Mother of destruction wait with a belt of
Skulls strap me down
And send the ship away,
Progress with the process, mine the souls
From their casts
Pour form and reshape

This dark womb,
Wraps and covets me,
Redefining understanding, if you open
Up the heart,
Nurturing, this phenomenon,
We can carry you on our wings, our wings
Through the dark
Lightning flashes of insight,
Into the mirth of a dark sky,
Pain of division is nothing,
Joy of dissolution is everything

Mother of creation wait, embrace the souls of a lost world
Carry them away,
Darkness negative receptive,
Pour firmament between our waters
Separate the space
Mother of destruction wait with a belt of
Skulls strap me down
And send the ship away,
Progress with the process, mine the souls
From their casts
Pour form and reshape

Portal sits deep within the eye,
The eye of yin's severity,
Rewards understanding
Portal sits deep within the eye
The eye of yin's severity,
Rewards understanding

Blackness consumes body comforts
Core of nothing...

Mother I can remember, a vault of security,
Can you take me away,
Would you take me away,
Won't you take me away,
...Away

Gratuis bump

Another Second Time Around

The Goo Goo Dolls


Happy, smilin', cryin,
Outburst to my past.
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.
And now I find myself a-tuggin' at your dress.
The fun of holdin' you down, or seein' you frown, is never gonna pass.

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,
Grey like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.
All our postcards full of things I won't forget,
And now it's comin' down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.

Couldn't help myself,
I felt like everything was gonna pass.
It was an awkward time,
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.

And I didn't know exactly what to say,
'Bout the things you saw me do my evil way.
And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed,
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.
Another second time around
Another second time around

Time Bomb

Rancid



If you wanna make the move
then you better come in
it's just the ability to reason
that wears so thin
living and dying and the stories that are true
secrets to a good life is knowing when you're through

black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac
the boy's a time bomb

he's back in the hole where they got him living
like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives
like a cat take him to the youth authority home
first thing you learn is that you got to make it
in this world alone

black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac
the boy's a time bomb

now he's gotten out he's gotten free he's gotta go
gotta car 21 years old he's runnin' from the
bar his pager's beepin' he's got in deep in
whatever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin'

black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac
the boy's a time bomb

in tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below
his eye his mother cries she knows that he is strong enough
to die he's rollin' in the cadillac it's midnight sunroof is down
three shots rung out the herd's deal
the new king is crowned.



Jesus and Mary Chain

Sidewalking

Chilled to the bone and five miles to home
I'm messing in the dark and feeling all alone
I got ice in my fire got the heat in my wire
Inject a little heat I'm burning up the tyres
Sidewalking
Talking like I'm on and I'm the only one
I'm making like I'm done and staring like a gun
And I got to get a car
And I got to get a ride
Gotta get a car
Got jesus on my side
Sidewalking
Messing in the dark and walking all alone in
The streets
Know just where I'm going
Sidewalking
Chilled to the bone
Hotwired heat all the way home

ARE YOU READY?
Pacific Gas & Electric

There's rumors of war
Men dying and women crying
If you breathe air, you'll die
Perhaps you wonder the reason why
But wait! Don't you worry
A new day is dawning
We'll catch the sun, and away we'll fly...

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

(Are you ready?) (2X)

People say that He won't come
And I don't know what say you
But if He should, would you be the one?
I've got a little question I'd like to ask you

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

(Are you ready?) (2X)

Brothers and sisters, I have many
Stumbling along to do their thing
Love is a song, it's better than any
It's better for music, it's easy to sing

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

(Yes, I'm ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
I've got to know, yeah (Yes, I'm ready)
You sound real good (Yes, I'm ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
Gonna be sunshine again (Yes, I'm ready)
And the flowers growing (Yes, I'm ready)
Children playing (Yes, I'm ready)
Gonna be all right (Yes, I'm ready)
You've got to be ready (Yes, I'm ready)
I know you're ready (Yes, I'm ready)
Say it loud one more time (Yes, yes, I'm ready)
Oh, yeah (Yes, yes, I'm ready)

isolate, paradise lost.

i'm sent for elimination
to where i cannot know, but i'm lost without a chance in hell
and i'm lost with doubts i can avoid this come feel the fire burn i'll slowly drift away
a victim of the future my mind and soul decayed

isolate

i'm sent for eradication
by whom i cannot know, but i'm lost without a chance in hell
i'm the last one out i can't avoid this

exposed to fire but i'll burn another way
a victim of the future i embrace the tourniquet

isolate

lead us all to pastures green
to search and learn
from ones i cannot be

lead us all to harmony
to search and learn
the one i cannot be

the road behind, gwar.

Well I'm traveling down the road
And I'm carrying that heavy load
I walk around in a stupor
Sleazy, I cant do the show
Hanging out backstage
I'm in a homicidal rage
I signed a million dollar contract
I puked on every page
Slaughtered half the crew
Caused they ate the deli-tray
Oh Baby hey
Said I'd do the show
but I Canceled anyway

You were road kill baby
Till I scraped you in my arms
Just another wattle flapping
On the old turkey farm
So baby....

And while the wheels keep rolling
And another signpost gone
All along the road behind
Oh can't you hear me calling
Like the sad whale song
I'm on the road behind

Well there you have it baby
I'm just a sensitive guy
Y'know I snuffed a million planets
But I still find time to cry
Because there's more to life
Then making other people die
Like a little bloody tear
Running out my dirty little eye
And some things baby
They don't make no sense
Does it really matter if it bugs
Your parents?

And while the wheels keep rolling
And another signpost gone
All along the road behind
Oh can't you hear me calling
Like the sad whale song
I'm on the road behind


A sad whale song... sad whale baby

So Much Like My Dad
George Strait

I know that I surprised you comin' home
It's not my usual time of year
But I've got myself a problem
And I know that I might find the answer here
Remember when I was dad's pride and joy
And your little man
Every time that I got hurt
You were there to give a hand
YouÕd pick me up and you'd kiss my hurt away
Remember what you'd say
"Boy, you're gettin' more like him each and everyday"
Can we have a talk like it was yesterday
Your boy's back in trouble and he needs you right away

She said she's gonna leave me momma
Nothing on God's green earth will make her stay
I can't live with out her momma
But this time you can't kiss the hurt away
But if I'm so much like my dad
There must've been times you felt her way
So tell me word for word what he said
That always made you stay

She said she's gonna leave me momma
But if I'm so much like my dad
There must've been times you felt her way
So tell me word for word what he said
That always made you stay

Is it already time

Dixie Chicken

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp I met a Southern belle
Well she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
And in that Southern moonlight, she sang a song so well

If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb
And we can walk together down in dixieland
Down in dixieland

Well we made all the hot spots. My money flowed like wine
Then that low down Southern whiskey began to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town
But boy do I remember the strain of her refrain
The nights we spent together, and the way she called my name

If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb
And we can walk together down in dixieland
Down in dixieland

Well it's been a year since she ran away
Yes that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
She's always handy with a song
Then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song
And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sign along

If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb
And we can walk together down in dixieland
Down in dixieland

Telegraph Road
Dire Straits

A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sac on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
And he made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came riding down the track
And they never went further and they never went back
Then came the churches then came the schools
Then came the lawyers then came the rules
Then came the trains and trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road

Then came the mines - then came the ore
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river ...

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow ...

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always run away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the telegraph road

You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on race between the light
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem care ...
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights these river of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'cos I've run every rod light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again ...

From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
All the way down the telegraph road

Smoke From A Distant Fire
Sanford - Townsend Band


You left me here on your way to paradise
You pulled the rug right out from under my life
I know where you goin’ to I knew when you came home last night
'Cause your eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
Lord, I was stunned shoulda' seen it come a long time ago.
When I realized the reality gave me a roll
If things are the same then explain why your kiss is so cold
and that mist in your eyes feels like rain on the fire in my soul
This lying, and cryin', it's upsettin' and gettin' ya no where
It don't stack up, so slack up then pack up
I just don't care
Don't let the screen door hit you, on your way out.
Don't you drown when your dream boat runs onto the ground
(BREAK)
I'd just like to know do you love him or just making time
by filling his glass with your fast flowing bitter-sweet lime.
You'll face the aftertaste when you come home late some night.
With your eyes all a mist from the smoke of a distant fire.
Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire.
(Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire)
Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire.
(Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire)
Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire.
(Mist in your eyes from a distant fire)
Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a dis..........
A distant Fire

blue, a perfect circle.

I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
Best to keep things in the shallow end
Cause I never quite learned how to swim

I just didn't want to know
Didn't want, didn't want,
Didn't want, didn't want

Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes,
Ignore the smoke,
Ignore the smoke

Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

Because I don't want to know
I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
I just didn't want

Mistook their nods for an approval
Just ignore the smoke and smile

Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a perfect color for your eyes
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

I don't want to know


Schwarzes Glas, Rammstein.

Ein kleiner Wunsch, ach wart ihr blind
wir sind Opfer boser List
schwarzes Glas ist uberall
schuldig weil wir hasslich sind

Schwarzes Glas mich blendet Licht
ein kleiner Wunsch, ach wart ihr blind
schwarzes Glas und wieder seh ich mein Gesicht
was kann ich dafur, da? wir hasslich sind?

Vor der Mitte tiefer Fall
und unter Masken kluftet zart
schwarzes Glas ist uberall
vergessen ist wie schon ihr wart

Schwarzes Glas mich blendet Licht
ein kleiner Wunsch, ach wart ihr blind
schwarzes Glas und wieder seh ich mein Gesicht
was kann ich dafur, da? wir hasslich sind?


Lullaby, Tea Party

You've Been looking for god
You've been down on your knees
Will the Angels believe you now?
Wanting more than the bliss of a buetiful kiss
from the lips of the one who fell
well its hard to tell...

Its like an opium dream
through your psyche it streams
it relieves and believes the painthat you fought in vain
oh no....please don't
wave goodbye, wave goodbye

because your sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus

you've escaped through these means these delirious dreams
helped to shelter an sooth your soul
the regrettable roles
the salvation they sold
satisfied your desire to burn
and now you've learned?
oh no....please don't
wave goodbye, wave goodbye

because your sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus

and were waving goodbye
you're sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus

Two For Tuesday; Toby Keith

I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again

I always heard that his herb was top shelf
I just couldn't wait to find out for myself
Don't knock it till you tried it, well I tried it my friend
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed him around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it began
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I hopped on his old bus, the Honeysuckle Rose
The party was Vegas, it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
With one parting puff grime creeper set in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it began
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Now we're passing the guitar, telling good jokes
I know ones a coming cause I'm smelling smoke
No I do not partake, I just let it pass by
With a smile on my face and a great contact high
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it began
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
In the fetal position with drool on my chin
I messed up and smoked weed with Willie again

Good To Go To Mexico


I can feel the chill of the cold November wind
Here in Oklahoma that means that it's winter time again
Evry time I think about, That rain and sleet and snow
Istart dreamin 'bout siestas underneath the sombrero
Baby if your good to go
We'll go down to Mexico
And get a place in Cabos,
Kick back in the sand
It'll be just you and me
And the moonlight, dancing on the sea
To the spanish guitar melody of a Mariachi band
I got two tickets for
There won't be no second thoughts
The weathers always nice
Down there in paridise
We'll find that little man
Who owns that taco stand
And we'll be drinkin margarita's
while we're workin on our tan
Baby if your good to go
We'll go down to Mexico
And get a place in Cabos,
Kick back in the sand
If you get off that telephone
And put your shorts and sandals on
tomorrow we'll be dancin to the mariachi band
Cancun don't get me high
That's where the snowbirds fly
They like to winter there
Man, they come from evry where
I'll take the baja sun
It ain't over run
We'll have ringos and torista
we might be the only ones
Baby if your good to go
We'll go down to Mexico
And get a place in Cabos,
Kick back in the sand
It'll be just you and me
And the moonlight, dancing on the sea
To the spanish guitar melody of a Mariachi band
Baby if your good to go
We'll go down to Mexico
And get a place in Cabos,
Kick back in the sand
It'll be just you and me
And the moonlight, dancing on the sea
To the spanish guitar melody of a Mariachi band
The spanish guitar melody of a Mariachi band

Oh! Mon Amour
Christophe Rippert

Elle a des yeux qui voient la mer
A travers la pluie qui descend
Elle fait des reves ou elle se perd
Entre les grands nuages blancs
Elle ne sait plus le jour ni l'heure
Elle a des larmes au fond du coeur
Qui lui font peur





Oh ! mon amour ecoute-moi
Deja la vie t'attends la-bas
Non n'ai pas peur il faut me croire
La vie est belle meme sans memoire
Tu sais je te raconterai
Avec le temps tu comprendras
Elle n'entend pas ce que je dis
Et sa main dans ma main s'endort
Je voudrais etre ce pays
Ou elle s'en va chercher encore
Dans le miroir de son passe
Ce reve qui s'etait brise
Un soir d'ete



Oh ! mon amour ecoute-moi
Un autre monde t'attend la-bas
Non n'ai pas peur il faut me croire
La vie est belle et notre histoire
Peut continuer quand tu voudras
Et tout sera comme autrefois



Oh ! mon amour ouvre ton coeur
Tu m'entendras
Pardonne le mal que je t'ai fait
Je ne te quitterai plus jamais
Oui mais demain dans mes cheveux
Je vois des soleils dans tes yeux



Oh ! mon amour
Une autre vie t'attend la-bas
Je t'aime tant il faut me croire
Le monde est beau et notre histoire
Peut continuer quand tu voudras
Et tout sera..

Triple Shot Thursday; Jackson Browne

Lives In The Balance


I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war
And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names
They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

--------------------------------------------------------------
The Next Voice You Hear


Gather your deeds and your possessions
Whatever certainty you've known
Forget your heroes
You don't really need those last few lessons
Stand in the open
The next voice you hear will be your own
Well alright, they knew how they could hurt you
And you let them cut you to the bone
But god forbid
You allow them to rid you of your virtue
Forget their laughter
The next voice you hear will be your own
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear will be your own
Throw down your truth and check your weapons
And don't look to see if you're alone
Just stand your ground
And don't turn around whatever happens
Don't ask directions
The next voice you hear will be your own
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear
The next voice you hear will be your own

The Rebel Jesus


The streets are filled with laughter and light
And the music of the season
And the merchants' windows are all bright
With the faces of the children
And the families hurrying to their homes
As the sky darkens and freezes
Will be gathering around their hearths and tables
Giving thanks for God's graces
And the birth of the rebel Jesus
They call him by the "Prince Of Peace"
And they call him by "The Saviour"
And they pray to him upon the sea
And in every bold endeavour
And they fill his churches with their pride and gold
As their faith in him increases
But they've turned the nature that I worship in
From a temple to a robber's den
In the words of the rebel Jesus
We guard our world with locks and guns
And we guard our fine possessions
And once a year when Christmas comes
We give to our relations
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
If the generosity should sieze us
But if anyone of us should interfere
In the business of why there are poor
They get the same as the rebel Jesus
But pardon me if I have seemed
To take the tone of judgement
For I've no wish to come between
This day and your enjoyment
In a life of hardship and of earthly toil
There's a need for anything that frees us
So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a pagan
On the side of the rebel Jesus
