You're going to miss me when I'm gone, like it or not.

[Lonestar]

Yep, probaly

Cotton-Eye Joe

Chorus:

If it had't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'ld been married long time ago
Where did you come from where did you go
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe

Verse:

He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields so hansome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun

Verse:

He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men cause of Cotton-Eye Joe

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Carole King



Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
Aretha Franklin

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you.

BABY I LOVE YOU
Aretha Franklin

If you want my lovin
If you really do
don't be afraid baby
Just ask me
You know I'm gonna give it to you
Oh and I do declare
I want to see you with it
Stretch out your arms little boy,
You're gonna get it
Cause I love you
ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you,
I love you, I love you
I love you, baby I love you

If you feel you want to kiss me
Go right ahead I don't mind
All you got to do is
Snap your fingers and I'll come running
I ain't lying, I ain't lying
I heard you once little boy
You know you got it
I'd deny my own self
Before I see you without it
I love you
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, baby I love you

Someday you might want to run away
And leave me sittin' here cryin'
But if it's all the same to you baby
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye
Baby I love you
Baby I need ya
Said I want ya
Got to have you baby
Don't let your neighbors
Tell you I don't want you

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Green Day


Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and still-frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on the trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Desiderata
Les Crane


Desiderata. Desiderata. Desiderata.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender,
Be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others -
Even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons - they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.


Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career -
However humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is.
Many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love.
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
It is as perenial as the grass.
Take kindly the council of the years,
Gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune,
But do not distress yourself with imaginings -
Many fears are borne of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.


You are a child of the universe.
No less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
Keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.

[SlowwHand]

I'm Free
Jon Secada

Do you see what I see
A rainbow shining over us
In the middle of a hopeless storm
Sometimes I'm blinded by my feelings
And I can't see beyond my troubled mind
Afraid of what I'll find
The story of our lives
But there's tomorrow

Cause I'm free, I'm free
And things are only as important
As I want them to be
We'll have a breath of sunshine
When the rain goes away
I pray, I pray

Do you need a friend right now
In the road that you're going to
If you get lost just call me I'll be there
Yes I'll be right there
Cause though I may not have the answers
At least I know what I'm looking for

Yes I can do without sorrow
There's a day after tommorow
So I'm leaving it behind

I'm free, I'm free
Things are only as important
As I want them to be
We'll have a breath of sunshine
When the rain goes away
I pray, I pray

And if you want to share my dreams
Well all you have to do is say it, say it
Let me hear you loud and clear
Cause I need you if you wanna be, if you wanna be

Do you see what I see
A rainbow shining over us
In the middle of a hopeless storm
We'll be safe and warm

I'm free, I'm free
Things are only as important
As I want them to be
We'll have a breath of sunshine
When the rain goes away
I pray, I pray

Denial by Sevendust

What - never say what you mean
All I hear is a scream
Never say that to me
Never say that to me
Wait - wipe that **** off your face
Let's don't stop till we bleed
The more you spit out your mouth the less I believe

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has LEFT YOU ALL ALONE

I - Can all that **** that you said
Ever make any sense
Where did you run to - *****
While I was holding my breath?
What's sacred faded into nothing
Never put that on me...
Never put that on me...

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has LEFT YOU ALL ALONE

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has LEFT YOU ALL ALONE
Waste

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has LEFT YOU ALL ALONE

Prison Sex by Tool

"It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young and vestal then,
you know it hurt me,
but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound,
my head down , my eyes closed,
and my throat wide open.

Do unto others what has been done to you

I'm treading water,
I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyre, you look so precious.
Won't you come a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this,
I can't stand to burn too long.
Released in this sodomy.
For one sweet moment I am whole.

Do unto you now what has been done to me.

You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won't you come just a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
There's release in this sodomy.
For I am your witness that
blood and flesh can be trusted.
And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.

Got your hands bound, your head down,
your eyes closed.
You look so precious now.

I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
**** blood and *** on my hands.

I've come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon.
You look so precious.

Burn by The Cure

"don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
whispering me away from you
"don't wake at night to watch her sleep
you know that you will always lose
this trembling
adored
tousled bird mad girl... "
but every night i burn
every night i call your name
every night i burn
every night i fall again

"oh don't talk of love" the shadows blow
murmuring me away from you
"don't talk of worlds that never were
the end is all that's ever true
there's nothing you can ever say
nothing you can ever do... "
still every night i burn
every night i scream your name
every night i burn
every night the dream's the same
every night i burn
waiting for my only friend
every night i burn
waiting for the world to end

"just paint your face" the shadows smile
slipping me away from you
"oh it doesn't matter how you hide
find you if we're wanting to
so slide back down and close your eyes
sleep a while
you must be tired... "
but every night i burn
every night i call your name
every night i burn
every night i fall again
every night i burn
scream the animal scream
every night i burn
dream the crow black dream

dream the crow black dream...

[SlowwHand]

Before I Go
Starship

Turn me around, Don't let me walk out forever
If there's a chance, the slightest chance, darling never say never
You know it's out of my hands
Cause I'm in way over my head

But it won't take me too long
You could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight
There must be one last breath of our life

CHORUS:
Now if there's something I can say
To make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if there's something I can do to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go

Angel of pride
Girl, won't you come and release me
Is it such a crime, oh, such a crime
To surrender so easy
You know how hard I've tried
Well, maybe I've tried too damn hard
But it won't take you long, you can break this liaison

CHORUS

I don't know where this road ever ends
The point of existence, your die-hard resistance
And I don't know where the shoulder begins
And gravity crumbles, tenacity tumbles

But it won't take me long
You could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight
There must be one last breath of our life

CHORUS

And if there's something I can say
To make you, make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go, before I go

Ooh, tell me once before I go
If there, if there's something I can say to make you see it half my way,
Tell me, tell me
If there's something I can say, oh, now baby, to make you turn
around............

[SlowwHand]

Once more, let me tell you

It's In The Way That You Use It
by Eric Clapton and Peter Robertson

It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.

And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.

Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.

Chorus

Chorus

First Verse

I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.

Chorus

[SlowwHand]

Not "last" forever. For a while.

For my Apolyton friends.

The Last Song
Edward Bear

Did you know I go to sleep and
Leave the lights on
Hoping you'd come by and know
That I was home and still awake
But two years go by and still
My light's on
This is hard for me to say
But it is all that I can take

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last time that I'll tell you
Just how much I really care
This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
You'll come looking for the light
And it won't be there
But I love you
Oh yes I do
Yes I do

All the times that I spent waiting
Wondering where you are
Always knew the time would come
When I would start to wonder why
Now the time is here
I don't know where you are
So I'll write you one more song
But it's the last time that I'll ever try

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last time that I'll tell you
Just how much I really care
This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
You'll come looking for the light
And it won't be there
But I love you
Oh yes I do
Yes I do

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you

Keep the thread perpetual.
Each has a limit of 500 posts.
Title it so I might recognize it, should I be able to add.

God bless America.

May the wind be at your back.






Ladies and Gentlemen, SlowwHand has left the building.

Don't Call me baby by Madison Avenue

You and me we have an opportunity
And we can make it something really cool
But you, you think I'm not that kind of girl
I'm here to tell you baby I know how to rock your world
Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't underestimate me boy I'll make you sorry you were born
You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby
You gotta learn that baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby


Behind my smile isn't my IQ
I must admit this does not sit with the likes of you
You're really sweet
Mmmm.. you're really nice
But didn't mama ever tell you not to play with fire
Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't underestimate me boy I'll make you sorry you were born
You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby
You gotta learn that baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby


You gotta learn that baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby

Cradle of Filth - From The Cradle To Enslave

Two thousand fattened years like maniacs
Have despoiled our common grave
Now what necrophagous Second Coming backs
From the cradle to enslave?

Sickle constellations
Stud the belts that welt the sky
Whilst the bitter winter moon
Prowls the cloud, dead-eyed
Like shifting parent flesh
Under silk matricide...

Watchful as she was upon Eden
Where every rose arbour and orchard she swept
Hid the hissing of a serpent Libido
In an ancient tryst with catastrophe
Soon the be kept

Hear that hissing now on the breeze
As through the plundered groves of the carnal garden
A fresh horror blows but ten billion souls
Are blind to see the rotting wood for the trees

This is the theme to a better Armageddon
Nightchords rake the heavens
PAN DAEMON AEAON

And what use are prayers to that god?
As devils bay concensus for the space to piss
On your smouldering faith
And the mouldering face
Of this world long a paradise lost

This is the end of everything
Hear the growing chora that a new dawn shall bring

Danse macabre 'neath the tilt of the zodiac
Now brighter stars shall reflect on our fate
What sick nativities will be freed when those lights burn black?
The darkside of the mirror always threw our malice back...

I see the serpentine in your eyes
The nature of the beast as revelations arrive

Our screams shall trail to Angels
For those damned in flames repay
All sinners lose their lot on Judgement Day
We should have cut our looses as at Calvary
But our hearts like heavy crosses held the vain belief
Salvation, like a promised nation
Gleamed a claim away...

This is the end of everything you have ever known
Buried like vanquished reason
Death is season
Drive like the drifting snow
Peace, a fragile lover, left us fantasising war
On our knees or another f**ker's shore
Heiling new flesh
Read, then roared
To a crooked cross and a Holy Cause
What else be whipped to frenzy for?

This is the end of everything
Rear the tragedies
That the Seraphim shall sing

Old adversaries
Next to Eve
Now they're clawing back
I smell their cumming
As through webbed panes of meat
Led by hoary Death
They never left
Dreaming sodomies
To impress on human failure
When we've bled upon our knees

Tablatures of gravel law
Shall see Gehennah paved
When empires fall
And nightmares crawl
From the cradle to enslave....

This is the end of everything!
This is the end of everything!
This is the end of everything!
This is the end of everything!
This is the end of everything!
This is the end of everything!
This is the end of everything!
This is the end of everything!
