Song Lyrics. To Our Children's Children's Children.

[Clear Skies]

Triple Shot Thursday it is then!

Capercaillie - Dean Saor an Spiorad

Day by day the haze of city lingers
Burning these hills of stolen liberty
O tir, tir mo run, O tir, tir mo chridhe

One day we'll find a young pretender
Kindle the fire of Gaeldoni's legacy
O tir, tir mo run, O tir, tir mo chridhe

Turning a blind eye to the values of home
Running the fast lane to belong
We'll see the light when the jewels of the crown they are gone.

Dean saor, dean saor an spiorad
Is seinn d'orain beo

The Culaba to Nova Scotia Indians
Carving their dream of pride and dignity
O tir, tir nan oir, O tir, tir na'dhaoine

Turning a blind eye to the values of home
Running fast lane to belong
We'll see the light when the jewels of the crown they are gone

Dean saor, dean saor an spiorad
Is seinn d'orain beo

Tog do shull dh'an larmalit
Machair dubh nan stoir
Faigh reull do'shliagha
Lean I gu dan

Lift your eyes to the sky
A dark (field of jewels)
Find the star of your destiny
And dare to follow it


Semisonic - This Will Be My Year

Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
And a Monday morning cry
It's the tail that you keep chasing
And it gets away every time

New Years Eve and it's hard to believe
Another Zodiac's gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground

Counting down from ten it's time
To make your annual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year

Pound your fist and cross it off your list
But you know you're not that strong
When the man at the stop light catches you
Singing along to a brand new song

Well maybe it's
Trash or the overnight
Smash that brings your
Ship crashing through the wall
So you can make your grand departure
From a world where you feel so small

One wheel in the ditch another
Spinning in the air
Put your pedal down to the floorboards cos you're not
Getting anywhere
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year


Texas - Halo

Bright light city
You're her religion
Superstars in their own private movie
Play just like children
Lies that take her
Places she's never seen
The kiss and tell of it all
To her it seems so obscene

She's so pretty
Her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess

She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her

For their blindness
She sees much further
Like on a wide-screen viewing
Going down on her

She's so pretty
Her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess

She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her

She believes in everything
She believes in nothing, in everything

She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her

She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her

She believes in everything
She believes in nothing, in everything
She believes in everything
She believes in nothing, in everything

For she has a halo
She has a halo

REflecting God by Marilyn Manson

your world is an ashtray
we burn and coil like cigarettes
the more you cry your ashes turn to mud

it's the nature of the leeches
the virgin's feeling cheated
you've only spent a second of your life
my world is unaffected
there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true
there is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
you'll understand when I'm dead

I went to god just to see
and I was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when I'm god everybody dies
scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller

let's jump upon the sharp swords
and cut away our smiles
without the threat of death
there's no reason to live at all
my world is unaffected
there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true
there is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
you'll understand when I'm dead

I went to god just to see
and I was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when I'm god everybody dies
scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller

scar, scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
shoot shoot shoot mother****er (x2)

each thing I show you is a piece of my death
no salvation, no forgiveness (x5)
this is beyond your experionce
forgiveness...

I went to god just to see
and I was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when I'm god everybody dies
scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller
shoot shoot shoot mother****er

Judith by A Perfect Circle

You're such an inspiration
For the ways that I will never ever choose to be.
Oh, so many ways for me to show you how your
Savior has abandoned you.
Thank (****) your God, your Lord, your Christ.
He did this, took all you had
And left you this way
Still you pray never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why.

It's not like you killed someone.
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side.
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed.
He did it all for you.

Oh, so many ways for me to show you how your
Dogma has abandoned you.
Pray to your Christ, to your God.
Never taste of the fruit, never stray, never break.
Never choke on the lie, even though he's the one
Who did this to you, you never thought to question why.

It's not like you killed someone.
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side.
Talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why.
He did it all for you.

Heresy by NIne Inch Nails

He sewed his eyes shut because he was afraid to see
he tries to tell me what I put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed of God and called it Christianity
your God is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell I will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of shhep in line
he made a virus that would kill all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your God is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell I will see you there
burning with your God in humility
will you die for this?

[boann]

I Miss You
incubus

To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you
I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
and I miss you.

Walk Like a Man
The 4 Seasons

Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size
Tellin' dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said "Give her up, don't bother
The world isn't comin' to an end"
(He said)

Walk like a man, talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
No woman's worth crawlin' on the earth
So walk like a man, my son

Bye bye baby, I don't-a mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin'
Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now
(I'm gonna)

Walk like a man, fast as I can
Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world "forget about it, girl"
And walk like a man from you

Can't Fight This Feeling
-reo

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

Lady
-styx

Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown

'Cause you're my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady

Lady, turns me on when I'm lonely
Give me all your charm
Evenings when she lays down beside me
She takes me gently into her arms

Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady
Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my ... lady

SWEET TALKIN' WOMAN
Electric Light Orchestra

I was searchin' on a one-way street
I was hopin' for a chance to meet
I was waitin' for the operator on the line

(She's gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down
Sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin'
You got me searchin'
Hold on sweet talkin' woman
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

I was walkin' many days gone by
I was thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights
Communication break down all around me

(She's gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you
(repeat chorus)

I've been livin' on a dead-end street
I've been askin' ev'rybody I meet
Insufficient data comin' through

(She's gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you
(repeat chorus)

[boann]

some more REO


Till The Rivers Run Dry

You ask how long I'll love you
It's hard to explain but I'll try
Tell me how long has the sun been shining
Above us in the sky?
Till the last day of forever,
If I have it my way we'll stay together
Till the rivers run dry I'll be loving you.
Till the mountains have crumbled
I'll always be true
And if for some reason you say goodbye
Ask me how long I would cry
Till all the rivers run dry

This path that we're walking
May be rough and rocky sometimes
But we'll believe in one another
Whatever we find

And when you need a hand to guide you
I will be there walking beside you
Till the rivers run dry

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

In My Dreams

There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin', you see in my dreams you love me
Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams



Oh, in my dreams

[Clear Skies]

OK, i know it's nowhere near Christmas, but I just downloaded this and it is soooo perfect I had to post it. So sue me.


Dido - Christmas Day

The young gentleman came riding past
on a snow-blue winter's day
He asked to drink by our fire and
I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while
and then he turned and said to me

Your eyes are green
Like summer grass
Your lips are red
like a fresh-cut rose
Your hair is soft
like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

And the night will come but I won't sleep
as I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
but still my heart goes with him
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes for the day
that I'll be leaving
Father knows
My sister knows

And my friends
They're happy for me
And the priest he says
you should thank God
for the blessing of such beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

On Christmas Day
I shall return for you
My love...

And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say

I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I said I will return on Christmas Day
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day
My love
I will return on Christmas Day
I shall return, my love, on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day

Again and Again by TAproot

Sick and angered by my friends
Extremely cold and heartless
talking **** behind my back about me
To my friends
The source a jealous passion towards a spirit
stuck in contention and fame

* Chorus*
Just need some time to myself again,
Need to bring back the old days
When I was in control of my life
Again and Again

Just endangered with my friends extremely bold and honest
I'll be when it comes to me
I said that I was sorry
But you don't hear me


I tried to say that I was sorry to you
but you don't think I speak honestly
Its OK 'cause I can move on now
I am so sorry
NO!

Push the Lil Daisies up by Ween

Tracy Chapman - Talking Bout A Revolution

Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know
They're talking about a revolution
Sounds like a whisper

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution

Black Icon

Theme from "Shaft"
Isaac Hayes

Shaft
Who's the black private ****
that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
You're damn right
Who is the man
that would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft!)
Can ya dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out
when there's danger all about
(Shaft!)
Right on
You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft
(Then we can dig it)
He's a complicated man
but no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)

[Kassiopeia]

Nik Kershaw - The Riddle

I got two strong arms
Blessings of babylon
With time to carry on
And try
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save

[chorus]

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Of for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It's not me you see
Pieces of valentine
With just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

[chorus repeat]

I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise mens child

[chorus repeat (2x)]

..but he'll never, never fight over you

Sexual Healing

Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue teardrops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing
Get up, get up, get up, get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need sexual healing

If This World Were Mine


If this world were mine, I'd place at your feet
All that I own; you've been so good to me
If this world were mine
I'd give you the flowers, the birds and the bees
For with your love inside me, that would be all I need
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything


If this world were mine, I'd make you a king
With wealth untold, you could have anything
If this world were mine
I'd give you each day so sunny and blue
If you wanted the moonlight, I'd give you that too
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything

Oh baby, you're my consolation
And there's no hesitation
When you want me, honey, just call me
And honey, you're my inspiration
And there's so much sensation
When I'm in your arms, when you squeeze me

And the sky would be blue
As long as you're lovin' me
With you here in my arms
Life is so wonderful

Give me pretty lovin', baby
Give me pretty lovin', honey
Keep on lovin' me
You know I need you, baby
Really, really need you, baby
