Tim McGraw
Unbroken

How I ever lived and breathed before you loved me, I don't recall
If I walked around at all, it was in bits and pieces
Of a jagged heart
You kissed me and every piece went back in place, every pain got erased
You held me up to the light

No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken

If I doubted the power of love, baby now I understand
I thank God for every day I wake up to the soft touch
Of your magic hands
In this world sometimes the only thing that's real is the way you make me feel
Babe, the changes day and night
I swear it's life

No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken

I still see the night, I fell into your eyes
And when we made love it felt like the first time

No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken

When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
I'm unbroken, oh yeah
I'm unbroken

No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken

Life in a Northern Town
The Dream Academy

A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
All the work shut down.

The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye.

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.

Fishin' in the Dark

by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin' & lightnin' bugs are floatin' in the breeze
Baby get ready
Across the field where the creek bends back by the old stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready, ooo ooo

You & me go fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs & countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Spend the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you

I don't care if we sit forever & the fish don't bite
We'll dip in the river & cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready
Spring's almost over & summer's comin', the days are gettin' long
Been waitin' all season for the time to be right just to take you along
Baby get ready, ooo ooo


You & me go fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs & countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Spend the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you

Human Nature by Madonna

Express yourself, don't repress yourself


And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry]
It's human nature [it's human nature]
And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry]
I'm not your ***** don't hang your **** on me [it's human nature]

You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say
You didn't want to see life through my eyes
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]

Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]
Did I stay too long?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind
[What was I thinking]


You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]

Did I say something true?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]
Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about you
[What was I thinking]


Express yourself, don't repress yourself (repeat twice)
Express yourself, don't repress yourself (repeat twice)


[I'm not apologizing]
[Would it sound better if I were a man?]
[You're the one with the problem]
[Why don't you just deal with it]

[Would you like me better if I was?]
[We all feel the same way]
[I have no regrets]
[Just look in the mirror]

[I don't have to justify anything]
[I'm just like you]
[Why should I be?]
[Deal with it]

[Clear Skies]

Thanks Sloww - it's even more atmospheric when you have Jenny singing it herself, in complete hushed silence with over a hundred people listening raptly. It was just incredible...

James - We're Going To Miss You

This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me

Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone

Your green eyes, poison pen, serpent's tongue
Will return to the source that they came from
Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human

Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone

No words, all's been said and done
No more words, all's been said and done

Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone

SIttin on the Dock of the Bay by Ottis Redding

Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' till the evening's done
Watchin' the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...


I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...


Looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people want me to, so I guess I'll remain the same
Oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
Sittin' here restin' my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone, yeah...
Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...

Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts

See the curtains hangin' in the window, in the evenin' on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

See the paper layin' in the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home from a hard day's work, and you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen, food cookin' and the plates for two.
See the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

Baby I'm-A Want You by Bread

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...

Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...

Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Hey Daddy by KoRn

Let me see (let me see)
All my life has been (taken) taken
This demon (haunts me) haunts me
They're waiting (help me) help me

You **** me up
I gagged and bound
You pick me up
When I am down
I can not live without them
I do not live without them

Hey, daddy (daddy)
They are taking me (away)
Biting
Facing him (what soul)
My soul
They're eating
Please help me

You **** me up
I gagged and bound
You pick me up
When I am down
I can not live without them
I do not live without them

They tell me this thing inside of me
Wants to get out
All it does is scream and shout
I'm trying not to let them out
They tell me to hurt myself
They tell me to hurt myself
They tell me to hurt myself
But I'm not gonna listen

You **** me up
I gagged and bound
You pick me up
When I am down
I can not live without them
I do not live without them

You **** me up
I gagged and bound
You pick me up
When I am down
I can not live without them
I do not live without them

Hey daddy
Hey daddy
(waiting)
Hey daddy
(waiting)



Reflection by TOol

I have come curiously close to the end, down.
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole.
Defeated,
I Conceded and move closer. I may find comfort here.
I may find peace within the emptiness. How pitiful.
And it's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.

And in my darkest moment, feeble and weeping.
The moon tells me a secret. Be confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own, and
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless.
She resuscitates the hole black.
Without her we are lifeless satellites drifting.
And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
You wanna' peer down here? Survey my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I hide away.
Before I hide away.
Before I hide away.
Before I hide away.

So crucify the ego before it's far too late
And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all thats imagined and conceivable

Don't let the light touch you and let the words spill thorough
Don't let them pass right through, bringing out our hope and reason.

Before we hide away.
Before we hide away.
Before we hide away.
Before we hide away.

SHe Works Hard For the Money by Donna Summer

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is.
And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything.
9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell.
And she's looking real pretty. She's waiting for her clientele.

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

Twentyeight years have come and gone.
And she's seen a lot of tears
of the ones who come in. They really seem to need her there.
It's a sacrifice working day to day. For little money just tips for pay.
But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care.

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

She already knows she's seen her bad times.
She already knows these are the good times.
She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill.
She works haaaaard.........


She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

A ROOM IN MY HEART (Faith Hill)

My heart was once just like a home
With many rooms and open doors
And I always let love in
It would change the rooms around and then
Leave them empty

'Til one by one I locked each door
And soon forgot what love was for
But I never gave up hopin'
So I left just one door open
In case you found me

So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you

We'll paint the walls from blue to white
And set the mood by candlelight
Together we'll keep out the cold
And I'll still be there when we're old
If you'll let me

So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you

Triple Shot Thursday; Steppenwolf

MONSTER

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope

Like good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end

While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The Blue and Grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

----- instrumental break -----

America... (three more times, then fade)

MAGIC CARPET RIDE


I like to dream, yes I do
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Every place she goes is right
Flies far, flies near
To the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride

Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

CHORUS
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I found Aladdin's lamp
So I wished that I could stay
But before the thing could answer me
Someone came and took the lamp away

I looked
Around
A lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride

Well, you don't know what
We can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

CHORUS

Born To Be Wild
Steppenwolf

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Here and god are gonna' make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feeling that that I'm under

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
Born to be wild

The Grave - Don McLean

The grave that they dug him had flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
He's gone.

When the wars of our nation did beckon,
A man barely twenty did answer the calling.
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation,
He's gone,
But Eternity knows him, and it knows what we've done.

And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry.
And deep in the trench he waited for hours,
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die.

But the silence of night was shattered by fire
As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air.
And one after another his comrades were slaughtered.
In morgue of Marines, alone standing there.

He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear.
"They can't let me die! The can't let me die here!
I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth.
I'll cover myself! I know I'm not brave!
The earth! the earth! the earth is my grave."

The grave that they dug him had flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
He's gone.

SOmetimes wanna Die by Joydrop (perhaps one of my anthems)

Don’t worry ‘bout one thing
Don’t worry bout nothin she said
I'm not gonna let this one go
Nobody’s on my side
Nobody seems to see how much,
How deep, how far these things can be,
My eyes are dry and I,
My eyes are dry and
I, I, still don’t even know you
I, I, still wish that I could hold you
I, I, I sometimes wanna die

And everywhere I go
And everyone I see
Somehow
Almost sets me free
And the space where we meet
Is different from the rest
And I just can't seem to forget that.
My eyes are dry and
I, I, still don’t even know you
I, I, still wish that I could hold you
I, I, I sometimes wanna die
I sometimes wanna die
I sometimes wanna…

And u were at the start
And now you are the end
And you left me with nothing to defend
I need the voice of a good friend.

Can't stop myself from laughing
No matter how sad
These things can be
These things can be
My eyes r bright and
I, I, still don’t even know you
I, I, still wish that I could hold you
I, I, still don’t even know you
I, I, I sometimes wanna die
I sometimes wanna die
I sometimes wanna die
Yeah I sometimes wanna die…

My Cherie AMour by Stevie Wonder

La la la la la la, La la la la la la

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

Maybe someday, you'll see my face amoung the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

Everybody Get Together by the Dave Clark Five

Love is but a song to sing
Feels the way we'll die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may know not why

Oh! Come on you people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on you people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that let us heal
Returns for us at last
We are but in the morning sunlight
Fading in the grass

Oh! Come on you people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Yes! Come on you people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Come on you people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

"The Mystic's Dream"
Loreena Mckennitt

A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageles light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's there that my heart is longing
All for the love of you

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home

And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
And now I feel you move
Every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war a-go-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Heaven Sent You, I Know
Marvin Gaye


HER:
Every night I say a prayer
Before I go to sleep
Suddenly you were there
Your face so fine, your voice so sweet
In these arms of mine
I found you just in time
In this turn of the world
I was a lost and lonely girl
But then a miracle happened;
Heaven must have sent you, I know
(Yes I know)
I know (yes I know)

HIM:
Funny how my empty heart
Used to feel like a heavy load
Suddenly you were there
Like a friend on a lonesome road
Right into these arms of mine
I found you, I found you just in time
'Cause I was a lonely man
Holding out my helpless hand
Then a miracle happened;
Heaven must have sent you, I know
(Yes I know)

BOTH:
Our time is here now
Now matter how the world is around
In your arms I find
Some kind of love and peace of mind
'Cause a miracle happened;
Heaven must have sent you, I know
(Yes I know)

How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
Marvin Gaye


How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night,
wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore,
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brightened up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I've been to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
