CREED
My Sacrifice

Hello my friend
We meet again
It's been a while
Where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart
Are memories
Of perfect love that
You gave to me
Oh, I remember
When you are with me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes
My sacrifice

We've seen our share
Of ups and downs
Oh, how quickly life
Can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and
Within your mind
Let's find peace there

'Cause when you are
With me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes
My sacrifice

I just want to
Say hello again
I just want to
Say hello again

When you are with me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes

'Cause when you are
With me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes
My sacrifice
My sacrifice

(I just want to
Say hello again)
I just want to
Say hello again

My sacrifice

=======================
CREED
Higher


When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine

[boann]

just heard this on the radio.
its one of my all time fave songs.

-----------------------------------------------

what becomes of the broken hearted


as i walk this land of broken dreams
i have visions of many things
happiness is just an illusion
filled with sadness and confusion

what becomes of the broken hearted
who hath love thats now departed
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind
help me please

the roots of love grow all around
but for me they come a tumbling down
every day heartaches grow a little stronger
i can't stand this pain much longer

i walk in shadows searching for light
cold and alone no comfort in sight
always hoping for someone to care
always moving but going nowhere

what becomes of the broken hearted
who hath love thats now departed
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind
help me please
won't you help me

i'm searching though i don't succeed
for someone's love there's a growing need
all is lost there's no hope for beginning
all that left is an unhappy ending

what becomes of the broken hearted
who hath love thats now departed
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind
i've been searching everywhere
just to find somone to care
i've been looking everywhere
i know i'm gonna find it
yeah i know i'm gonna find it

To Have NOt to HOld by Madonna
To have and not to hold
So hot yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me
to have my way

To love but not to keep
To laugh not to weep
Your eyes they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have
Not to hold

To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have
Not to hold

You're to have not to hold
You're to have not to hold

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have
Not to hold

You're to have not to hold
You're to have not to hold
You're to have not to hold

Take a BOw by Madonna

take a bow
the night is over
this masquerade is
getting older
lights are low
the curtains down

there's no one here
(there's no one here there's no one in the crowd)
say your lines
but do you feel them
do you mean what you say
when there's no one around
(no one around)
watching you watching me
one lonely star
(one lonely star you don't know who you are)

chorus

i've always been in love with you
(always with you)
i guess you've always known its true
(known its true)

you took my love for granted
why oh why
this show is over say goodbye
say goodbye
(goodbye)
say goodbye

make them laugh
it comes so easy
when you get to the part where you're breaking my heart
(breaking my heart)
hide behind your smile
all the world loves a clown
(just make them smile the whole world loves a clown)
wish you well
i cannot stay
you deserve an award for the role that you play
(role that you play)
no more masquerade
you're one lonely star
(one lonely star you don't know who you are)

chorus 2x

all the world is a stage
and everyone has their part
but how was i to know which way the story goes
how was I to know you'd break
you'd break, you'd break, you'd break
you'd break my heart

Triple Shot Thursday, Cat Stevens

On The Road To Findout


Well I left my happy home to see what I could find out
I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there
Many stories told me of the way to get there

So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout

Well in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder

I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song saying not to worry

So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout

Then I found myself alone, hopin' someone would miss me
Thinking about my home, and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me

But sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit ya
But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future

So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout

Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, 'cause there is no use in lying, lying

Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil's sin, pick up, pick up a good book now

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miles From Nowhere


Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
'cause I know when I find it my honey
It's gonna make me feel good

I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that.

Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright

I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yeah, the ones that I choose

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
I Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wild World


Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Take Me Home Tonight
Eddie Money (featuring Ronnie Spector)

I feel hungry it's a hunger
That tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer I shouldn't wonder
When I can feel you whet my appetite
With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation's running through me
Let's find the keys and turn the engine on.

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster.

Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby.

I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone
I need some company a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow.

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster.

Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Be my little baby.

Just like Ronnie sang
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Be my darling
I feel a hunger
It's a hunger.

Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang

Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang

Be my little baby.

Be my little baby.

IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING
carly simon

When the sun is high in the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk till dawn as the clock ticks on
Something happens to you

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the boy
And never ever think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all

[SlowwHand]

Kiss Him Goodbye
Steam

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

He'll never love you, the way that I love you
'Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn't make you cry
He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love)
So dog-gone willin'
So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. Wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss him goodbye, now

Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

Listen to me now

He's never near you to comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin' baby from your eyes
He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love)
So dog-gone willin'
So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. I wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss him goodbye, na-na na-na-na na na

Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

[fade in]
Hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

SWEET CHERRY WINE
Tommy James and The Shondells

Come on everyone, we gotta get together now,
Oh, yeah, love's the only thing that matters anyhow,
And the beauty of life can only survive if we love one another.

Oh, yeah, yesterday my friends were marching out to war,
Oh, yeah, listen now, we ain't marching anymore.

No, we ain't gonna fight,
Only God has the right,
To decide who's to live and to die.

He gave us Sweet Cherry Wine,
So very fine, drink it down, pass it around,
So stimulating, so intoxicating, Sweet Cherry Wine.
To open your mind,
And everybody's gonna feel so fine,
Drinking Sweet Cherry Wine, yes they will.

Watch the mountains turn to dust and blow away.
Oh, Lord, you know there's got to be a better way.
And the old masquerade is a no soul parade,
Marching through the ruins of time.
To save us, he gave us,

(chorus)

Oh, Sweet Cherry Wine.
Come on drink it with your brother,
Trust one another.
Yeah, yeah.
He gave us Sweet Cherry Wine.
Drink it down, pass it around,
People don't know the cup is running over.

[Playa del Carmen]

For my Mountain Flower

6th Avenue Hearthache
The Wallflowers

Sirens ring, the shots ring out
A stranger cries, screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands, never knew how to act


Chorus:
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache


Below me was a homeless man
I'm singin' songs I knew complete
On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
It's fifty years, stood where he stands


Now walkin' home on those streets
The river winds move my feet
Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me, just like moonbeams


Look out the window, down upon that street
And gone like a midnight was that man
But I see his six strings laid against that wall
And all his things, they all look so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
Just like me-just moved on



Snowin' On Raton
Robert Earl Keen, written by Townes Van Zandt

When the wind don't blow in Amarillo,
The moon along the Gunnison don't rise,
I cast my dreams upon your love, babe,
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

Mother thinks the road is long and lonely.
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine.
Little darlin' thinks the road is soft and lovely.
I'm thankful that long road's a friend of mine.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

I'll bid the years good bye; you cannot still them.
You cannot turn the circles of the sun.
You cannot count the miles until you feel them.
You cannot hold a lover that is gone.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

Tomorrow the mountains will be sleepin',
Silent 'neath the blanket, green and blue.
I shall hear the silence they are keepin'.
I'll bring all those promises to you.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

Snowin' on Raton,
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone.

Snowin' on Raton.



Here Comes the Rain
The Mavericks

Your love's a heartache
That's torn me apart.
You've watched my heart break
Righ from the start.

You took everything you wanted
And now that you are gone,

Here comes the rain
Falling down on me.
I'm showered in pain,
Nothing remains
Of what used to be.
Here comes the night,
Dark as my soul.
There's no end in sight,
Not shining light,
No love to hold.
Here comes the rain.

I must have been dreaming.
I must have been blind.
But I never thought you
Could be so unkind.

Tomorrow I'll forget you,
But I can't forget you now.

Here comes the rain
Falling down on me.
I'm showered in pain,
Nothing remains
Of what used to be.
Here comes the night,
Dark as my soul.
There's no end in sight,
No shining light,
No love to hold.
Here comes the rain.

Here comes the rain
Falling down on me.
I'm showered in pain,
Nothing remains
Of what used to be.
Here comes the night,
Dark as my soul.
There's no end in sight,
No shining light,
No love to hold.
Here comes the rain.

Here comes the rain,
Here comes the rain,
Here comes the rain,
Here comes the rain,
Here comes the rain.

Here comes the rain.

[Playa del Carmen]

From Hell To Paradise
The Mavericks

For thirty years they sang the song of promised victory.
But who they've fought and who has won
Didn't matter much to me.
I see them driving in the streets
In their fancy shiny cars.
Crowds of people to their feet,
Their faces full of scars.
No pleasantries, no luxuries,
No little children's milk.
While minister's wives spent all their lives
In China's finest silk.
My back's been broken many times
But my spirit lingers on.
The day it comes my way on Freedom's ship
I will be gone.

From Hell to Paradise,
I'll always pay the price.
From Hell to Paradise,
I'll always pay the price.

The ninety-mile trip has taken thirty years to make.
They tried to keep forever what was never theirs to take.
I cursed and scratched the devil's hand
As he stood in front of me.
One last drag from his big cigar,
And he finally set me free.

From Hell to Paraidse,
I'll always pay the price.
From Hell to Paraidse,
I'll always pay the price.

From Hell to Paraidse,
I'll always pay the price.
From Hell to Paraidse,
I'll always pay the price.

Con ojos tiernos algun diat te mirare,
Con brasos abiertos algun dis abrasare,
Hay mi Havana cuando pueda regresare.


[Translation-
"With tender eyes someday I'll look at you,
With open arms someday I'll embrace you.
My old Havana someday I will return."]



A Place In The Sun
Tim McGraw

Long ago, far away
I felt your lovin’ glow upon my face
Was it a dream or just a promise made
What is my destiny

Someday I’ll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there’s got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Darkness hangs overhead
Close to the point where angels fear to tread
I close my eyes and think of you instead
And pray you’ll be here soon

Someday I’ll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there’s got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Sometimes it feels like this whole world’s against me
And every beaten path
Is just another winding road that tempts me
Far from you and all that’s true
I’ve got to find my way again

Someday I’ll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there’s got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Yeah I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Oh, won’t you shine down on me Sunshine?

Thriller
Michael Jackson



1st Verse
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed

Chorus
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

2nd Verse
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

Chorus
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight

Bridge
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

3rd Verse
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
I'll make you see
Chorus
That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

(Rap performed by Vincent Price)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller



(into maniacal laugh, in deep echo)

[Clear Skies]

Cruel Summer (originally by Bananarama IIRC, but Ace of Base's version is sooo much better...)


Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying, oh, what did they say?
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort this heat has got
Right out of hand

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel

The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Well don't you leave me
Come on, come on

Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Well don't you leave me

Come on, come on
It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer


Sunday Girl by Blondie

I know a girl from a lonely street cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl

Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see what your lovin’ means to me

She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
"Baby I would like to go out tonight"
"If I go with you my folks' will get uptight"
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey I say your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday Girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine I could be Sunday Girl

Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see what your lovin’ means to me
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I've got the blues
Please, please, please come see
What you do to me
I got the blues
Hurry up

[Lonestar]

Okay, Cleveland doesn't really rock.

Cleveland Rocks!

Ahhhhhh...
All this energy calling me,
Back where it comes from
It's such a crude attitude
It's back where it belongs.

All the little girls with the crimson lips
Go, "Cleveland Rocks"
"Cleveland Rocks"
Livin' in sin, with a safety pin
Go, "Cleveland Rocks" (Cleveland Rocks)
"Cleveland Rocks" (Cleveland Rocks)

Ohio! (Original Lyrics)

Ahhhhhh...
All this energy callin' me
Back where it comes from
It's such a crude attitude
It's back where it belongs

All the little kids growing up on the skids
Go "Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
Jumpin' Jene Jene and Movin' James Dean
Go "Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
"Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
"Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
"Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"

Mamma knows but she don't care
She's got her worries too
Seven kids and a phoneo player
And the rent too

All the little chicks with their chrimson lips
Go "Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
Livin' in sin with a safety pin
Go "Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
"Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
"Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
"Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"

I've got some records from World War II
I play 'em just like me grandad do
He was a rocker and I am too
Go "Cleeeveland rocks!"
"Yeah Cleeeveland rocks!"

Cleveland rocks!, Cleveland rocks! ,

[Playa del Carmen]

Here Comes My Baby
written by Cat Stevens, performed by the Mavericks

In the midnight moonlight hour,
He's walkin' along that lonely mile.
And every time I do,
I keep seein' this picture of you.

Here comes my baby,
Here she comes now.
And it comes as no surprise to me
With another guy.
Well here comes my baby,
Here she comes now.
Walkin' with, with a love,
That's oh, so fine,
Nevere to be mine no mater how I try.

You'll never walk alone,
And you're forever talkin' on the phone.
AndI try to call your name,
But every time it comes out the same.

Here comes my baby,
Here she comes now.
And it comes as no surprise to me
With another guy.
Well here comes my baby,
Here she comes now
Walkin' with, with a love,
That's oh, so fine,
Nevere to be mine no mater how I try.

Here comes my baby,
Here she comes now.
And it comes as no surprise to me
With another guy.
Well here comes my baby,
Here she comes now
Walkin' with, with a love,
That's oh, so fine,
Nevere to be mine no matter how I try.

Movies by Alien Ant Farm

At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong
In summer we can taste the rain

[Chorus:]
I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene

Two can play this game
We both want power
In winter we can taste the pain

In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away

[Chorus]

You won't cry, I won't scream

In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
And if we make a little space
A science fiction showcase
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away
