    smac..how come you changed your name?

    Dies, nox et omnia (Day, night and everything) from Carmina Burana


    Dies, nox et omnia Day, night and everything
    michi sunt contraria; is against me,
    virginum colloquia the chattering of maidens
    me fay planszer, makes me weep,
    oy suvenz suspirer, and often sigh,
    plu me fay temer. and, most of all, scares me.

    O sodales, ludite, O friends, you are making fun of me,
    vos qui scitis dicite you do not know what you are saying,
    michi mesto parcite, spare me, sorrowful as I am,
    grand ey dolur, great is my grief,
    attamen consulite advise me at least,
    per voster honur. by your honour.

    Tua pulchra facies Your beautiful face,
    me fay planszer milies, makes me weep a thousand times,
    pectus habet glacies. your heart is of ice.
    A remender As a cure,
    statim vivus fierem I would be revived
    per un baser. by a kiss.

      Keller Williams - Best Feeling
      I woke to the world one morning
      did not really know what was going on
      Didn't care about tomorrow
      worry when tomorrow comes
      I went outside that night
      set the ole imagination a flight

      For one second I
      felt like a kid
      on Christmas day
      feeling stops all
      if I said in a word
      I will explain if I may

      I climed up a tree that night
      Sat up in the branches
      and I felt just like a bird
      it was the best feeling in the world

      Felt so good that night
      my soul it seemed to fly around that night
      as I flew that night

      For one second I felt like a bird
      hangin' up in the air
      feelin' stops all
      if I said in a word
      the feeling to be without a care

      Swam in the sea that night
      dove through the waves and I felt like a fish
      it was the best feeling in the world

      Felt so good that night
      my soul it seemed to swim around that night
      as I swam that night

      For one second I
      Felt like a fish
      cruising around in the sea,
      the feeling stops all
      if I said in a word
      the feeling to be free
      the good reverend

        Mother-in-Law
        Ernie K-Doe

        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        The worst person I know
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        She worries me so
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        If she'd leave us alone
        We would have a happy home
        Sent from down below
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        Sin should be her name
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        To me they are about the same
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        Everytime I open my mouth
        Then she tries to put me out
        How could she stoop so low
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        I come home with my pay
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        She ask me what I made
        Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
        She thinks her advice is a constitution
        If she would leave that should be the solution
        And don't come back no more
        My mother-in-law, mother-in-law.....

          dm - just got fed up with the old one. Plus this is my nickname just about everywhere else, so I figured I'd put apolyton into line with everywhere else.
          As to where it comes from - long story, but let's just say it's something I've had to wish to people far too many times this year. One of my friends lost her brother, another her mother, another her grandmother, and a fourth's grandfather has just had a stroke. This has not been a good year
          Anyway.

          Everclear - Wonderful

          I close my eyes when I get too sad
          I think thoughts that I know are bad
          Close my eyes and I count to ten
          Hope it's over when I open them
          I want the things that I had before
          Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
          I wish I could count to ten
          Make everything be wonderful again

          Hope my mom and I hope my dad
          Will figure out why they get so mad
          Hear them scream, I hear them fight
          They say bad words that make me wanna cry

          Close my eyes when I go to bed
          And I dream of angels who make me smile
          I feel better when I hear them say
          Everything will be wonderful someday

          Promises mean everything when you're little
          And the world's so big
          I just don't understand how
          You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
          Tell me everything is wonderful now

          Na na na na na na na

          Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

          I go to school and I run and play
          I tell the kids that it's all okay
          I like to laugh so my friends won't know
          When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

          Go to my room and I close my eyes
          I make believe that I have a new life
          I don't believe you when you say
          Everything will be wonderful someday

          Promises mean everything when you're little
          And the world is so big
          I just don't understand how
          You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
          When you tell me everything is wonderful now

          I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

          I don't wanna hear you say
          That I will understand someday
          No, no, no, no
          I don't wanna hear you say
          You both have grown in a different way
          No, no, no, no
          I don't wanna meet your friends
          And I don't wanna start over again
          I just wanna my life to be the same
          Just like it used to be
          Somedays I hate everything
          I hate everything
          Everyone and everything
          Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

          I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

            By way of friend paiktis.

            Goin' to Acapulco
            by Bob Dylan


            I'm going down to Rose Marie's
            She never does me wrong.
            She puts it to me plain as day
            And gives it to me for a song.

            It's a wicked life but what the hell
            The stars ain't falling down.
            I'm standing outside the Taj Mahal
            I don't see no one around.

            Goin' to Acapulco
            Goin' on the run.
            Goin' down to see fat gut
            Goin' to have some fun.
            Yeah Goin' to have some fun.

            Now, whenever I get up
            And I ain't got what I see
            I just make it down to Rose Marie's
            'Bout a quarter after three.

            There are worse ways of getting there
            And I ain't complainin' none.
            If the clouds don't drop and the train don't stop
            I'm bound to meet the sun.

            Goin' to Acapulco
            Goin' on the run.
            Goin' down to see some girl
            Goin' to have some fun.
            Yeah Goin' to have some fun.

            Now, if someone offers me a joke
            I just say no thanks.
            I try to tell it like it is
            And keep away from pranks.

            Well, sometime you know when the well breaks down
            I just go pump on it some.
            Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places
            And just set there waitin' for me to come.

            Goin' to Acapulco
            Goin' on the run.
            Goin' down to see some girl
            Goin' to have some fun.
            Yeah Goin' to have some fun.

              Dan Seals - Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)

              Saw your picture on a poster in a cafe out in Phoenix;
              Guess you're still the sweet heart of the rodeo.
              As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit,
              In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
              And she still asks about you all the time,
              And I guess we never even cross your mind

              Chorus:
              But oh sometimes I think about you,
              And the way you used to ride out,
              In your rhinestones and your sequins,
              With the sunlight on your hair.
              And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
              But as for me, I've come to know.
              Everything that glitters is not gold.

              Well old Red he's getting older,
              And last Saturday he stumbled.
              But you know I just can't bear to let him go.
              Little Casey, she's still growing,
              And she's started asking questions,
              And there's certain things a man just doesn't know.
              Her birthday came and you never even called:
              I guess we never cross your mind at all.

              Chorus

              Everybody said you'd make it big someday,
              And I guess that we were only in your way,
              But someday I'm sure your gonna know the cost.
              'Cos for everything you win there's something lost.

              Chorus
              Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

                Norah Jones - I Don't Know Why

                I waited 'til I saw the sun
                I don't know why I didn't come
                I left you by the house of fun
                I don't know why I didn't come
                I don't know why I didn't come

                When I saw the break of day
                I wished that I could fly away
                Instead of kneeling in the sand
                Catching teardrops in my hand

                My heart is drenched in wine
                But you'll be on my mind
                Forever

                Out across the endless sea
                I would die in ecstasy
                But I'll be a bag of bones
                Driving down the road alone

                My heart is drenched in wine
                But you'll be on my mind
                Forever

                Something has to make you run
                I don't know why I didn't come
                I feel as empty as a drum
                I don't know why I didn't come
                I don't know why I didn't come


                Al Green - Tired of Being Alone

                I'm so tired of being alone
                I'm so tired of on-my-own
                Won't you help me girl
                Just as soon as you can

                People say that I've found a way
                To make you say that you love me
                Hey baby, you didn't go for that
                It's a natural fact
                That I wanna come back
                Show me where it's at, baby

                I'm so tired of being alone
                I'm so tired of on-my-own
                Won't you help me girl
                Soon as you can

                I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
                Even though you don't want me no more
                Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears
                All through the years
                I'll tell ya like it is
                Honey, love me if you will

                Yeah baby
                Tired of being alone here by myself, now
                I tell ya, I'm tired baby
                I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
                In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
                Sometimes I wonder
                If you love me like you say you do
                You see baby, I been thinkin' about it, yeah
                I been, I been wantin' to get next to you baby
                Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm
                Yeah baby
                Meeting you has proven to be
                To be my greatest dream, yeah

                Tired, baby
                Yeah, you don't know what I'm talkin' about
                Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby
                Oh baby, baby

                    REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE
                    The Marmalade

                    The changing of sunlight to moonlight
                    Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes
                    The greetings of people in trouble
                    Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my mind

                    All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
                    Take me back to my own home
                    All my cryings (all my cryings), feel i'm dying, dying
                    Take me back to my own home (oh i'm going home)

                    I'm changing, arranging, I'm changing
                    I'm changing everything, ah, everything around me
                    The world is a bad place, a bad place
                    A terrible place to live, oh, but i don't wanna die
                    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                      written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

                      That leads to your door
                      Will never disappear, oh
                      I've seen the roads before
                      And it always leads me here
                      Leads me to your door

                      The wild and windy night
                      That the rain washed away
                      Have left a pool of tears
                      Ah crying for the day
                      Why leave me standing here
                      Ah let me know the way

                      Cause many times I have been alone
                      And many time I've cried
                      And any way you never know
                      What many times I tried
                      Still they lead me back

                      To that long winding road
                      You left me standing here dear
                      A long, long time ago
                      Don't leave me standing here
                      Take me to your door

                      But still they lead me back
                      To that long winding road
                      You left me standing here
                      A long, long time ago
                      Oh please don't leave me here alone
                      Take me, take me to your door

                        PROMISES
                        Eric Clapton

                        I don't care if you never come home
                        I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
                        Cuz I don't love you and you don't love me

                        You cause a commotion when you come to town
                        You give 'em a smile and they melt
                        Havin' lovers and friends is all good and fine
                        But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

                        La la la la la la
                        La la la la la la la la

                        I don't care what you do at night
                        Oh, I don't care how you get your delights
                        We'll leave it alone and just let it be
                        I don't love you and you don't love me

                        I got a problem, can you relate ?
                        I got a woman callin' love hate
                        We made a vow we'd always be friends
                        How could we know that promises end

                        I tried to love you for years upon years
                        You refuse to take me for real
                        It's time you saw what I want you to see
                        I'd still love you if you'd just love me
                        Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
                        "Hating America is something best left to Mobius. He is an expert Yank hater.
                        He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

                          Spooky.

                          remake; originally by dusty springfield

                          In the cool of the evening
                          When everything is getting kind of groovy
                          You call me up and ask me
                          Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
                          First I say no, I've got some plans for tonight
                          And then I stop and say all right
                          Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you

                          You always keep me guessing
                          I never seem to know what you are thinking
                          And if a fellow looks at you
                          It's for sure your little eye will be a-winking
                          I get confused, I never know where I stand
                          And then you smile and hold my hand
                          Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you
                          Spooky

                          If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing
                          I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dying to be saying
                          Just like a ghost you've been a-haunting my dreams
                          But now I know you're not what you seem
                          Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you

                                Staying Out For The Summer

                                Dodgy

                                I'm staying out for the summer
                                Playing games in the rain
                                The hills and the fortune
                                Got me fooled again
                                You see I work in a factory (I need the money)
                                I don't want to be late (though I hate this place)
                                I got my debts to pay for (Free me from this race)
                                They're going to have to wait

                                If I ever see you again
                                I will tell you why
                                I was low and insecure
                                I didn't want to make you cry

                                Well my good's turned bad
                                And it's just my luck that
                                You're not on my side
                                So what happens now? Where did you go?
                                With these feelings I hide?

                                I've had enough lining
                                Pockets I've never met
                                They've got me working all hours
                                I ain't gained nothing yet

                                If I ever see you again
                                I will tell you why
                                I was low and insecure (If I ever see you cry)
                                I didn't want to make you cry

                                Well my good's turned bad
                                And it's just my luck that
                                You're not on my side
                                So what happens now? Where did you go?
                                With these feelings I write?
                                I'm staying out for the summer
                                Playing games in the rain
                                The hills and the fortune
                                Won't be the same again

                                I'm staying out for the summer
