For Your Love


For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I'd give you everything and more, and that's for sure.
For your love.
I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door.
For your love.

To thrill you with delight,
I'll give you diamonds bright.
There'll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.

For your love.
For your love.
For your love.

For your love, for your love,
I would give the stars above.
For your love, for your love,
I would give you all I could.

For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I'd give the moon if it were mine to give.
For your love.
I'd give the stars and the sun 'fore I live.
For your love.

To thrill you with delight,
I'll give you diamonds bright.
There'll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.

For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.

I Am Yours


I am yours.
However distant you may be,
There blows no wind but wafts your scent to me,
There sings no bird but calls your name to me.
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me.

I am yours.


--------------------------------
Marry You

It's the sugar so sweet,
Kind I'd like to meet
You at midnight
And tell no one else about it.

I'm going to make you mine
'Cause I know we've got the time
Now and then, baby.
Hey, I want you to know,

I want to marry you.
Isn't that what you want, too?
I want to marry you.
Isn't that what you want, too?

Come on in the back of the '57.
Let me show you the way, the way to heaven.
You're looking so sweet, yes you are.
I'm sure that you've got some heat.

I've got you on my mind
You know you've got my time
Now and then, baby.
Hey, I want you to know,


I'm falling in love with you.
You make all my dreams come true.
I'm falling in love with you.

[Playa del Carmen]

Over the Waterfall
Robert Earl Keen

I slipped through you fingers
Into the clouds
Ran down the concrete hallways
Pushed through the crowds
I watched by the water
Reached for the sun
Why did I bother?
What's done is done

And all that's left of me now
Is wating to drown
Over the waterfall
Over the waterfall
Over the waterfall
I fall down

Soldiers of fortune
Stand by your door
You can't remember
What you hired them for
You cleard your conscience
And I left a stain
The beauty of sadness is
Feeling the pain

And all that's left of me now
Is wating to drown
Over the waterfall
Over the waterfall
Over the waterfall
I fall down

And only the sad stone man can hear my cry
And only the tall blue girl can see
I lost my way I left no alibi
So no one will know you knew me

Randomly speaking
Pieces of light
The clowns from the circus
Got drunk here last night
They talked of reunion
Theyn left on their own
What they've never know is
What you've always known

And all that's left of me now
Is wating to drown
Over the waterfall
Over the waterfall
Over the waterfall
I fall down



Goin' Nowhere Blues
Robert Earl Keen

In the corner of the barroom
Lives the ghost of Langston Hughes.
He's taking notes and smoking cigarettes,
Sipping slowly on his booze.

Got them goin' nowhere blues.

And on the stage beneath the spot light,
Woody Guthrie sings the news.
He's always ready for the good fight,
Never thinking that he'll loose.

Got them goin' nowhere blues.

Through the back way in the alley,
Selling all you should refuse,
Looks like Jane has finally given in.
Hey, what the hell? It ain't no use.

Got them goin' nowhere blues.

Out the front around the corner,
Martin Luther shines your shoes.
He's preaching justice and equality.
Looks like Martin's paying dues.

He's got them goin' nowhere blues.

On the other side, it's a free ride.
You got money you can burn.
When the ground shakes and the earth brakes,
Which way you gonna turn?
You ever gonna learn?

In the poolroom on the table
Swillin' wine and smashing cues,
They locked him up last night for fighting.
Ceasar Chavez blew a fuse.

He's got them goin' nowhere blues.

All the members of the union,
All the farm and labor crews,
They used to meet here by the dozens.
They disappeared in ones and twos.

Got them goin' nowhere blues.

So you wonder why the come here?
They come here to look for clues.
Passin' time until they live again,
To fight these goin' nowhere views.

Leave these goin' nowhere blues,
To fight these goin' nowhere views.

[SlowwHand]

Stages
ZZ Top
(Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard)

It's a fine time to fall in love with you,
I ain't got a single thing to do.
It happened before I knew what was going on.
I fell out and knew that I was gone.
Stages keep on changing,
stages rearranging love.

Then you left me standing all alone,
I couldn't even get you on the phone.
Were you just confused and didn't know
if you should stay or if you had to go?
Stages keep on changing,
stages rearranging love.

Now you're back and say you're gonna stay.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Tell me it's for real and let me know
why does lovin' have to come and go.
Stages keep on changing,
stages rearranging love.

[Bereta_Eder]

Turn
THERAPY?
Turn and face the strange
The door is open, you're awake
You're storming heaven without thought
You're storming heaven without God

Remember, I know where you live
And I know you're on your own
I may forget, I don't forgive
I'm always home

You turn and face the strange
You turn and face yourself

I know when you lie
The brightness darkens in your eyes
This is yours to take control
This is yours, now hold your own

Remember, I know where you live
And I know you're on your own
I may forget, I don't forgive
I'm always home

You turn and face the strange
You turn and face yourself

Barging into the presence of God
Barging into the presence of God
Barging into the presence of God
Barging into the presence of God

(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God

[Caligastia]

Dream Theater - Learning to Live


There was no time for pain
No energy for anger
The sightlessness of hatred slips away
Walking through winter streets alone
He stops and takes a breath
With confidence and self control

I look at the world and see no understanding
I'm waiting to find some sense of strength
I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding

I need to live life
Like some people never will
So find me kindness
Find me beauty
Find me truth
When temptation brings me to my knees
And I lay here drained of strength
Show me kindness
Show me beauty
Show me truth

The ways that your heart sounds makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
The way that your heart beats makes all the difference
In learning to live
Here before me is my soul
I'm learning to live
I won't give up
Till I've no more to give

Listening to the city
Whispering its violence
I set out watching from above
The 90's bring new questions
New solutions to be found
I fell in love to be let down

Once again we dance in the crowd
At times a step away
From a common fear that's all spread out
It won't listen to what you say
Once you're touched you stand alone
To face the bitter fight
Once I reached for love
And now I reach for life

Another chance to lift my life
Free the sensation in my heart
To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons
It brings inner peace within my mind,
As I'm lifted from where I've split my life
I hear an innocent voice
I hear kindness, beauty and truth

The way your heart sounds makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
The way your heart beats makes all the difference
In learning to live
Spread before you is your soul
So forever hold the dreams within our hearts
Through nature's inflexible grace
I'm learning to live

Kiss the Flame
Jewel

Please love let's make no impartial vow
Let all fall away
That's not crucial now
I want a brave love,
One that makes me weak in the knees
I want a crazy, crazy love
One that makes me come undone at the seams
'Cause I'm tired of all these pilgrims,
These puritans, these thieves
Of all these unbelievers
Who whittle love down at the knees
Let the world fall into its sleep
For we shall be spared
We shall be left standing
To face what's left of concrete and honey

Kiss the flame
Let's run with the hunted, the untamed
Kiss the flame
Embrace the faceless, the unnamed
Kiss the flame

There are nightmares on the sidewalks
There are jokes on TV
There are people selling thoughtlessness
With such casualty
But wherefore art thou Romeo
Where have all the brave men gone
Show me one man who knows his own heart
To him I shall belong


-------------------------
When I Fall In Love
Nat King Cole


When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

[boann]

TRACE ADKINS ...some C & W


It Was You


Some people say fallin` in love is purely chance
The random blend of time and place, circumstance
That couldn't be farther from the truth
'Cause with you

It wasn't the stars in the sky
That got to me that night
Or the music that we were dancing to
It wasn't the moon up above
That had me falling in love
It was more than all those things alone could do
It was you

I do believe we're all a part of some greater plan
That only angels in our hearts can understand
Somehow I know I'd found my place
When I saw your face

It wasn't the stars in the sky
That got to me that night
Or the music that we were dancing to
It wasn't the moon up above
That had me falling in love
It was more than all those things alone could do
It was you

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



(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing


I been thinkin' 'bout our love situation
All this attraction in the present tense
I've reached the only logical conclusion
Love ain't supposed to make sense

This ain't no thinkin` thing, right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin` that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing

Forget mathematical equations
Self help psychology
Gray matter don't matter much darlin`
When it's gettin` down to you and me

This ain't no thinkin` thing, right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin` that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing

There's nothing that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing
This ain't, no this ain't no thinkin` thing

[Playa del Carmen]

Fallin' Out
Robert Earl Keen

I drove all night to be here
I only stopped for gas
Watched the sun come up this morning
As I came across the path

I'm tired, and wired, and uninspired
And broke in many ways
I'm hoping you won't mind if I
Stay a couple days

Well, I called about a week ago
To let you know the score
I didn't leave a message
'Cause I wasn't really sure

You'd even want to see me
After all I put you through
But I really couldn't help myself
Feeling how I do

My night's a long and lonely road
My days are just the same
And every single song I'm write
Is crying out your name

If I slept a wink at all I can't remember when
'Cause falling out of love ain't half as good as falling in

I'll sleep out on the sofa
I won't take up much room
I'll leave my stuff out in the car
'Cause I'll be going soon

And somewhere down line I'll write you
Letters now and then
I know that you won't read a word
But I can still pretend

My night's a long and lonely road
My days are just the same
And every single song I'm write
Is crying out your name

If I slept a wink at all I can't remember when
'Cause falling out of love ain't half as good as falling in



Guitar Town
Steve Earle

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on

There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town
But no local yokel gonna shut me down
'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town

Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown
And I ain't the kind to just hang around
But I heard someone callin' my name one day
And I followed that voice down the lost highway

Everybody told me you can't get far
On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar
Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down
And a rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town

Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don't stop

Gotta keep rockin' why I still can
I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan
But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
With my back to the riser I make my stand

And hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight
We're loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
And take you back with me to the Guitar Town


Transcendental Blues
Steve Earle

In the darkest hour of the longest night
If it was in my power I'd step into the light
Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe
Walk upon the water - transcendental blues

Happy ever after 'til the day you die
Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til you try
Hands are in your pockets, starin' at your shoes
Wishin' you could stop it - transcendental blues

If I had it my way, everything would change
Out here on this highway the rules are still the same
Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to
They leave you standin' there with them ol' transcendental blues

[Playa del Carmen]

Down To The River
by Pat Green
© 1995 Dead Horse Music (BMI)

Take me down to the river where I can hold your body close to mine
We can listen to the rhythm of that old water rolling
You can stay with me until the morning light

I found you in a Louisiana roadside park,
Beat up broke down no place left to turn,
I took you back to Texas under a harvest moon,
We found a little place to call our own.

We shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years,
Married at the tender age of twenty-one
Rollin' down the highways, dirt roads and the byways,
You liked to drive so I would go shotgun.

We'd go down to the river, where I could hold your body close to mine,
We'd listen to the rhythm, of that old water rollin,
You can stay with me until the morning light.

Now somewhere through the year somebody turned your head,
And has taken my sweet love so far from me,
Yeah he swept you off to Boulder,
Where the air it gets much colder than this southern boy would ever like to see

I think of calling you on lonely nights,
When being alone gets the best of me,
Yeah but this here whiskey bottle, will take me to a place,
Where you and I will always be.

Going down to the river, where I could hold your body close to mine,
We'd listen to the rhythm, of that old water rollin,
You can stay with me until the morning light.

When you came back home everybody said I was a fool,
'Cause I took you back without a word to say,
But I couldn't go on living thinkin' about all I missin',
And I don't give a damn about what those people say.

I wanna go down to the river, where I could hold your body close to mine,
We'd listen to the rhythm, of that old water rollin,
You can stay with me until the morning light.

I wanna go down to the river

Take me down the river

I wanna go down to the river


Bang My Head
Cross Canadian Ragweed

Check me out in my easy chair
Bottle in my hand
How it ever got to go far I guess I'll never understand
Cause I bend and bend until I break
Then I bend some more
Sometimes I feel like a piece of dirt down on your floor

I bang my head against the wall
Bang it until it bleeds
To me it makes no difference at all
I got to bang it till I can't see
Don't know what you think of me
I don't really care
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there

I sit and stare at the telephone
Why don't it ring
Once upon a time I thought I knew it all
Turns out I don't know one damn thing
Pick it up and I throw it down
I pick it up again
I'm gonna keep slammin' it to the floor till someone's on the other end

I bang my head against the wall
Bang it until it bleeds
To me it makes no difference at all
I got to bang it till I can't see
Don't know what you think of me
I don't really care
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there

I don't know why I'm sittin' here
Seems like I used to know
Knew everything I wanted everywhere I needed to go
Friends stop and they smile at me
They say you got it all
But what they don't know what they don't see
Are the holes up and down my hall

I bang my head against the wall
Bang it until it bleeds
To me it makes no difference at all
I got to bang it till I can't see
Don't know what you think of me
I don't really care
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there

Sun comin' up at the break of dawn
I can't shut my eyes
It's like a pile of wire coat hangers inside of my mind
Now I'm down here on the floor
My world spinning around
I get the feeling I ain't ever gonna leave this God forsaken town

I bang my head against the wall
Bang it until it bleeds
To me it makes no difference at all
I got to bang it till I can't see
Don't know what you think of me
I don't really care
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there

[devilmunchkin]

Without YOu I'm Nothing by PLacebo

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side

Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tick
Tick
Tick
Tick tock

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You've never seen the lonely me at all

I
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I
Fall
Without you I'm nothing
Without you I'm nothing
Without you I'm nothing
Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you I'm nothing at all

[devilmunchkin]

Dead Inside by Chimaira

Dead Inside


I felt so alone
You left feeling so empty and needing
Can't see the glitter in you
You called me all the time
Hiding behind your lies materialistic
Go away
You don't know what it's like to be dead inside
You called him a friend to help you get through it
I see your true face now
Well my tears are gone, I am happy now
Thanks for making it clear
Go away
You don't know what it's like to be dead inside
I am dead to you
You take my heart and used it as a tool
I wish that this would just go away
You can't find love you can't cry tears
And you won't be crying alone
Who are you today...another face erased

[Clear Skies]

The "Oh No not ANOTHER Joni Mitchell Song" flame opportunity starts here!

Joni Mitchell - How Do You Stop

Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet
But what about your heart?
Fame and fortune can't hold you tight
In the late late hours of the night
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You think love will wait
So you don't hold on
And then it's gone

You've had success
Lots of fancy friends
You've tasted the good life
You thought it would never end
One day you're too young
Then you're in your prime
Then you're looking back at the hands of time

How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You think love will wait
So you don't hold on
And then it's gone

How do you stop a runaway train?
How do you stop the driving rain?
How do you stop the ripening corn?
How do you stop a baby being born?

How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
How do you stop?
You're lost if you hesitate
How do you stop
Love from slipping away?
How do you stop
Before it's too late?

Two For Tuesday; Procol Harum 1967-1977

CONQUISTADOR
PROCOL HARUM

Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
And like some angel's haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armor plated breast
Has long since lost its sheen
And in your death mask face
There are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath
And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
The sea has washed across your face
And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
Though you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no place to unwind

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

A WHITER SHADE OF PALE
(Keith Reid/Gary Brooker)
as recorded by Procol Harum

We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

------ organ solo ------

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was.... (fade)

[devilmunchkin]

FOrsaken by David Draiman

I'm over it
You see I'm falling in the fast abyss
Clouded by memories of the past
At last I see

I hear it fading, I can't speak it
Oh yes you will take my grave
You feeling, finding, always whining
Take my hand now be alive

Chorus
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone?

I'm over it
Why can't we be together and erase it?
Sleeping so long taking off the mask
At last I see

My fear is fading, I can't speak it
Oh yes you will take my grave
You feeling, finding, always whining
Take my hand now be alive

Everyone
Everyone

Redeemer by Marilyn Manson

The hunger inside given to me, makes me what I am
Always it is calling me, for the blood of man
They say I cannot be this, I am jaded, hiding from the day.
I can't bare, I cannot tame the hunger in me

Oh, I say I did and always searching, you can't **** with me.
So instead you'll taste my pain.
The hunger inside given to me, makes me feel alive.
Always out stalking prey, in the dark I hide.
Feeling, falling, hating, feel like I am fading, hating life.

They say I cannot be this, I am jaded, hiding from the day.
I can't bare, I cannot tame the hunger in me...
Oh, I say I did and always searching, you can't **** with fate.
So instead you'll taste my pain.

You say your life I'm taking, always bothering me, I can't take this anymore, I'm failing, always smothering me

You look down on me, hey what you see, take this gift from me, you will soon be me.

Nothing seems exciting, always the same hiding

It's haunting me. It's haunting me. It's haunting me. It's haunting me.

It's haunting me...

[Clear Skies]

M People - Search For The Hero

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves
It's a shame
Oh life like love that walks out of the door
Of being rich or being poor
Such a shame

But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make you feel at least alive
And that's why you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will find

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

In this life long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you'd live a dream
Aim so high
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find

Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry
Your passport to a feel supreme

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life
