Good Times Bad Times
Led Zepplin

In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man,
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try,
I find my way into the same old jam.
Good Times, Bad Times,
You know I had my share;
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man,
Well, I still don't seem to care.
Sixteen: I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be,
Only took a couple of days
Till she was rid of me.
She swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end,
But when I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend, oooh.

Good Times, Bad Times,
You know I had my share;
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man,
Well, I still don't seem to care.
I know what it means to be alone,
I sure do wish I was at home.
I don't care what the neighbors say,
I'm gonna love you each and every day.
You can feel the beat within my heart.
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.

Trying To Access Apolyton? Better...

Get It While You Can
Janis Joplin

In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,
You know everybody’s fighting on with each other.
You got no one you can count on, baby,
Not even your own brother.
So if someone comes along,
He’s gonna give you some love and affection
I’d say get it while you can, yeah!
Honey, get it while you can,
Hey, hey, get it while you can,
Don’t you turn your back on love, no, no!

Don’t you know when you’re loving anybody, baby,
You’re taking a gamble on a little sorrow,
But then who cares, baby,
‘Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no.
And if anybody should come along,
He gonna give you any love and affection,
I’d say get it while you can, yeah!
Hey, hey, get it while you can,
Hey, hey, get it while you can.
Don’t you turn your back on love,
No no no, no no no no no.

Oh, get it while you can,
Honey get it when you’re gonna wanna need it dear, yeah yeah,
Hey hey, get it while you can,
Don’t you turn your back on love,
No no no, no no no no, get it while you can,
I said hold on to somebody when you get a little lonely, dear,
Hey hey, hold on to that man’s heart,
Yeah, get it, want it, hold it, need it,
Get it, want it, need it, hold it,
Get it while you can, yeah,
Honey get it while you can, baby, yeah,
Hey hey, get it while you can!

[Provost Harrison]

A song title that is descriptive of my time without Apolyton

Bad Religion - Suffer

did you ever see the concrete stares of everyday?
the lunatic, the hypocrite are all lost in the fray
can't you see their lives are just like ours?
an unturned stone, an undiscovered door
leading too, the gift of hope renewed,
eternity for you,
the masses of humanity
have always had to suffer
the businessmen whose master plan
(controls the world) each day,
is blind to indications of his species
slow decay
people blow their minds
(they choose to resign),
this deformed society is part
of the design it'll never go away,
(it's in the cards that way),
the masses of humanity
will always have to suffer!

[*End Is Forever*]

Jimmy Eat World - Goodbye Sky Harbor

Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest?
How could you know just what you did?
Like all the rest...
How could you know just what you did?
So full of faith, yet full of doubt

I ask again... I shall ask you this once again
He said... "I am but one small instrument"
Do you remember that?

Time and time again you said, "don't be afraid"...
If you believe then you can do it
Don't be afraid...
If you believe then you can do it
The only voice I want to hear is yours...

I ask again... I shall ask you this once again
He said... "I am but one small instrument"
Do you remember that?

So here I am above palm trees, so straight and tall...
You are smaller, getting smaller...
But I still see you...

[*End Is Forever*]

Jimmy Eat World - Just Watch The Fireworks

Here... you can be anything...
And I think that scares you
I think that scares you
Here... I've been here before...
But only by myself... myself...

I promised I'd see it again
I promised i'd see this with you now

What giving up gives you
And where giving up takes you...
I've had, and I've been
Here in centre frame...
Here, there's only air
And just enough space to fit...

I promised I'd see it again
I promised i'd see this with you now

I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I said, said, said it out loud but what do I know?
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I said, said, said it out loud but it did not help...

I'll stop now...
Just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as late as it takes

I promised I'd see it again
I promised i'd see this with you now

I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I said, said, said it out loud but what do I know?

I'll stop now...
Just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as late as it takes

I'll stay up as late as it takes
I'll stay up as long as it takes
As long as it takes...
As long as it takes...
As long as it takes...
I'll stay up as late as it takes
As long, it takes...

[Clear Skies]

Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop

If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.

So don't stop thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be much better than before,
'Cos yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.

So don't stop thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be much better than before,
'Cos yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.

So don't stop thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be much better than before,
'Cos yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Don't you look back,
Don't you look back.

Not to monopolise this thread or anything...

singing in my sleep - SeMiSoNiC

Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes

All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose

And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

I've been living in your cassette
It's the modern equivalent
Singin up to a capulet
On a balcony in your mind

In the city the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice

And all the sounds
Dream for me
Dive me down in a soul so deep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep



Posted this before in another thread but it's sooooooo good it deserves twice
Rebecca St James - Don't Worry

On the corner of Fifth and Broadway
I was walking to the grocery store on Third
I saw a man up on a box and he seemed a little unorthodox
Well, he was preaching up a storm
And as I walked on by he said...

Don’t worry about your life
‘Cause if you hold it too close you’ll lose it
Don’t worry about your life
So won’t you let go before it’s gone

A little further on I saw a beggar on the street
He asked for change, then gives me his life story
Said he was a millionaire but he made some bad decisions there
And now a dollar-fifty could feed him for a week
And he said

Don’t worry about your life
‘Cause if you hold it too close you’ll lose it
Don’t worry about your life
So won’t you let go before it’s gone

Then I see the birds
I watch them fly
They’ve got everything they need
They show me why
I can be free
Knowing You will care for me

Now finally at the grocery store
My mind is filled with many thoughts
As I bump into a girl I knew from high school
She said "What’s different about you girl?"
And I smiled and said
This is what I know to be true... and I’ll pass it right along to you

Don’t worry about your life
‘Cause if you hold it too close you’ll lose it
Don’t worry about your life
So won’t you let go before it’s gone

[Monk]

Tonight, tonight

time is never time at all
you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
and our lives are forever changed
we will never be the same
the more you change the less you feel
believe, believe in me, believe
that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
we're not the same, we're different tonight
tonight, so bright, tonight
and you know you're never sure
but you're sure you could be right
if you held yourself up to the light
and the embers never fade in your city by the lake
the place where you were born
believe, believe in me, believe
in the resolute urgency of now
and if you believe there's not a chance tonight
tonight, so bright, tonight
we'll crucify the insincere tonight
we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
we'll find a way to offer up the night, tonight
the indescribable moments of your life, tonight
the impossible is possible tonight
believe in me as i believe in you tonight

how do i live without you
leann rhimes



How do I... get through a night without you
If I had to live without you, what kind of life would that be.
Oh I, I need you in my arms need to hold,
you're my world, my heart, my soul,
if you ever leave,
baby you would take away everything good in my life,
and tell me now...
How do I live without you, I want to know,
How do I breathe without you, if you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive....
How do I, how do I...oh how do I live....

without you
There'd be no sun in my sky,
there would be no love in my life,
there would be no world left for me,
and I...baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
if you ever leave,
baby you would take away everything real in my life
and tell me now...

How do I live without you, I want to know,
How do I breathe without you, if you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive....
How do I, how do I...oh how do I live....

please tell me baby
how do i go on
if you ever leave
baby you would take away everything
need you with me
baby don't you know that your everything good in my life
and tell me now
How do I live without you, I want to know,
How do I breathe without you, if you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive....
How do I, how do I...oh how do I live....

How do I live
How do I live without you

Blinded By the Light
Manfred Mann's Earth Band


Madmen drummers bummers and Indians in the summer
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps
His way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing
The calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot
And throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot
Save the buckshot turn up the band

And she was blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight
But she'll make it alright

Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone
Preacher from the east
He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone
That's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone
Watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone
To remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah he was blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight
But she'll make it alright

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister
Told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
If you play that song with the funky break
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart
To see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly
And asked me if I needed a ride
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep going straight until night
And then boy you're on your own

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap was complaining that he caught the clap
From some mousetrap he bought last night
Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap
But he'd figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh but mama that's where the fun is...

She got down, but she never got uptight
She's gonna make it through the night

[*End Is Forever*]

Descendents - Silly Girl

Started on a summer Sunday, the pink dress on the setting sun
You were going to grandma's house, I was too scared to come

Silly girl, I'm beggin' you
Tell me all the things I want to hear
Silly girl, I'm in love with you

I had to run to catch you, you always move so fast
With your cute little smile and silly laugh, God gave me love at last

Silly girl, I'm beggin' you
Tell me all the things I want to hear
Silly girl, I'm in love with you

They said just stay away and now I wish I had
I'm so in love with you, my silly girl

They made me go away, sometimes life isn't fair
But I'll be back some day, I hope you'll still be there

Silly girl, I'm beggin' you
Tell me all the things I want to hear
Silly girl, I'm in love with you

When you're just a silly boy like me, you're always so scared
I was too scared to love you, even though I really cared

They said just stay away and now I wish I had
I'm so in love with you, my silly girl

[Solly]

Fleetwood Mac - Albatross

[SlowwHand]

From New "Trouble in Shangrila" Album

Too Far From Texas
Stevie Nicks


There's a plane, it's headed for London
Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it
Ooh, I can't stop it

There's a house there, somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
And in that moment what will he think then...
When I can't touch him

Chorus:
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home

In a room just outside of Houston
That's where I spend my nights trying to get through to him
He says he's comin' back in every letter...
But he might never
No he might never

(Chorus)

Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come
Does he know I'm holdin' on
And that won't change no matter where he's gone

(Chorus)

Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day

OK, £10 to anyone who's actually heard of them, so here we go:

East to West - Audacity

There's a little boy who has to leave the landing light turned on
Praying in his innocence that God will make him strong
And there's a little girl trying to figure it out
If she's a rag doll or a daughter
Hoping that someday she will find love

From East to West
We are your children
From East to West to you we cry
From East to West
We're drawn together
Like a curtain closed against the winter night

There's a man on the street with his cap in his hand
Hoping pennies will rain from Heaven
Even though the weatherman, he said it will stay dry
And there's a woman who rides every morning at 8
On the Lichfield to New Street line
Though she's dying inside, if you ask how she is
She'll always say she's fine

From East to West
We are your children
From East to West to you we cry
From East to West
We're drawn together
Like a curtain closed against the winter night

There's a man speaking on a hillside
And the crowd hang on every word
There's a man in a fishing boat
Whom the wind and the waves have heard
There's a man on a Roman cross
Betrayed by a best friend's kiss
What kind of man, what kind of love is this?

From East to West
We are your children
From East to West to you we cry
From East to West
We're drawn together
Like a curtain closed against the winter night
From East to West you are our light
From East to West

For Your Eyes Only .......
James Bond Theme
-Sheena Easton
1981



For your eyes only, can see me through the night.
For your eyes only, I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new.
I never felt until I looked at you.

For your eyes only, only for you.
You'll see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you, only for you.

For your eyes only, the nights are never cold.
You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine,
But you won't need to read between the lines.

For your eyes only, only for you.
You see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me.
Only for you, for your eyes only.
