King Crimson - One Time

One eye goes laughing,
One eye goes crying
Through the trials and trying of one life
One hand is tied,
One step gets behind
In one breath we're dying

I've been waiting for the sun to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop
One Time
And I've been standing in a cloud of plans
Standing on the shifting sands
Hoping for an open hand
One Time

[SlowwHand]

Ooooooh. King Crimson.



CAT IN THE WINDOW
Petula Clark

Fly away, fly away
There's a cat in the window
And he's watching all the birds go passing by
He'd love to fly out the window
Go where the wind goes
And so would I
Like that cat in the window
Who keeps wishing for some wings to take a ride
I'd love to glide to a rainbow
Off where the clouds go dancing by
And if I could fly
You wouldn't find me hangin' around
Watching the birds go by

Yes the cat in the window
Has a tear in his eye
I should leave today, fly away
Why should I stay like the cat in the window
Who keeps watching the birds
Go by from the window
If I could fly though
You won't find me
Don't even try to

Have I Told You lately that I love you?


Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To The One, to The One.

Have I Told You Lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To The One, to The One.

Have I Told You Lately That I Love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Rock Lobster by the b52s

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
He's in a giant clam

Down, down...

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Mussels flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down...

Let's rock!

Boys in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stringray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that pirahna
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!

Break it Down Again by Tears for Fears

So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head a strong like a horse

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Break it down again

So these are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound

" No sleep for dreaming" say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Horsin' around
Pray to power
Play to the crowd with your big hit sound
And they won't simmer won't simmer, won't simmer down
Play to the crowd
Play to the crowd
Play yeah yeah

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help you
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down
Break it down again

Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming

Babylon Whores - Love Under Will

And you go down like submarine
In the cigarette haze filled neon sea
A new cat to skin for all the dog days
For every nobody face
Has a story to tell
Has a soul to sell
Different maps of hell
Petty lies are truth just
Optimized
Two bit whores playing penny wise

And you are dying to get a life
And you would kill to find some peace

And you love it all
Love under will
Deadened to horror
Bathed in sin
God damned the Devil may care
For each step further down in hell
For all escatologies and the parables

And the serpent talks to you at night
As you slowly turn away from the light
Poison oracles
Bastard disciples
Running out of peanuts for the human zoo
Living day by day
Withering away
Dyeing black the grey
Just like me and you

Petty lies are truth just
Optimized
Two bit whores playing penny wise

And you would ask if you knew the answers
And you would try if you knew you'd succeed

So nothing is true
And everything's permitted
What's it to you
When your world is breaking loose
Yeah

Pretty love pretty hate inside you
Pretty love pretty hate inside your heart

Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson
for Mrs Cavanagh - god bless you please


And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (whoa whoa whoa)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (whoa whoa whoa)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (whoa whoa whoa)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (ooh ooh ooh)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

A sing along for the EU expansion. (and the end of the world)

Exodus

Metal Command

You're gathered here tonight
To heed our metal cry
Obeying all our wills
All others you defy
A wall of sonic sound
With amps turned up to ten
Our legions are advancing
To battle once again

Fists are in the air banging everywhere
Thrashing to the sound faces melting down
It's time to fight for metal tonight
Bangers take your stand and obey
Our metal command

We go from town to town
And leave a trail of death
And if you don't surrender

You'll breathe you final breath
There will be no survivors
No prisoners of war
Join our ranks or perish

We'll slice you to the core

Fists are in the air thrashing everywhere
Banging to the sound, faces melting down
It s time to fight for metal tonight
Bangers take your stand and obey
Our metal command

Our legions show no mercy
The final hour nears
Sonic blast deafening
It's ripping through your ears
There is no retribution
For those who do not dare
There's only execution
Your dead without a prayer

[boann]

Alone Again, Naturally
- Gilbert O'Sullivan

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying, "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally.

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play ?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
Alone again, naturally

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Raindrops + Sunshowers by the Smashing Pumpkins

Rain falls on everyone
The same old rain
And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops

I send my echo out
To get your love without
Obscured reflections of my love

Rain falls on everyone
The same old rain
And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops

I'll save a prayer for you
So lost and longing to
Be dragged through dirty streets
Wrapped up in clean white sheets
And if you think they'll watch you now
You should know they won't

Rain falls on everyone
The same old rain
And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops
And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops

I send my echo out
To get your love without
Obscured reflections of
Of my secret love
Force down the words about
To get your love without
Obscured reflections of my love

And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops

Rain falls on everyone
The same old rain
And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops

Rain falls on everyone
The same old rain
And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops
And I'm just trying to walk with you
Between the raindrops

I'm A Loser
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)


I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

My Opening Farewell


Jackson Browne




A lady stands before an open window
looking so far away
she can almost feel the southern winds blow
gently touching his restless day

He turns from his window to me
sad smile his apology
sad eyes reaching to the door

Daylight loses to another evening
still he spares me words goodbye
sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
struggles to speak but in the end can only cry

Suddenly it's so hard to find
the sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
so I'm offering ease to him as if to be kind

There's a train every day
leading either way
there's a world you know
there's a way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
this is my opening farewell

A child's drawings left there on the table
and a woman's silk is lying on the floor
I would keep them here if I were able
to lock you safe behind it's open door

Suddenly it's so clear to me
that I'd ask you to see what you may never see
now my kind words find their way back to me

There's a train every day
leading either way
there's world you know
got a way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
this is my opening farewell

This is my opening farewell.

Two For Tuesday; The O'Jays

I LOVE MUSIC

I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy

Makes me laugh, makes me smile
for the world when I'm with you boy
While we dance make romance
I'm enchanted by the things that you do

I love music, sweet sweet music
Long as it's swinging, all the joy that it's bringing

I'm so happy to be in complete harmony, I love you boy
And to hold you so close in my arms, I'm so glad you're mine
all mine mine

Nothing can be better than a sweet love song
So sweet so sweet so mellow
When you got the girl that you love in your arm
Oh honey I love you I love you yeah
Music is the healing force of the world
It's understood by every man woman boy and girl
And that's why that's why I say
I love music
Any kind of music
Long as it's swinging
All the joy that it's bringing

Music makes the atmosphere so fine
Lights down low just me and you baby you know
'Specially when you got a cold glass of wine
Mellow wine and song

I love music, sweet sweet music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy
I love I love I love I love I love I love music
I love I love I love I love I love I love music
I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy

Deanna
Nick Cave

O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O DEANNA
Sweet Deanna!
O DEANNA
You know you are my friend, yeah
O DEANNA
And I ain't down here for your money
I ain't down here for your love
I ain't down here for your love or money
I'm down here for your soul

No carpet on the floor
And the winding cloth holds many moths
Around your Ku Klux furniture
I *** of death-head in your frock
We discuss the murder plan
We discuss murder and the murder act
Murder takes the wheel of your Cadillac
And death climbs in the back

O DEANNA
This is a car
O DEANNA
This is a gun
O DEANNA
And this a day number one
O DEANNA
Our little crimeworn histories
Black and smoking christmas trees
And honey, it ain't mystery
Why you're a mystery to me

We will eat out of their pantries
And their parlours
Ashy leaving in their beds
And we'll unload into their heads
On this mean season
This little angel that I squeezin'
She ain't been mean to me

O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O DEANNA
You are my friend and my partner
O DEANNA
On this house on the hill
O DEANNA
And I ain't down here for your money
I ain't down here for your love
I ain't down here for your love or money
I'm down here for your soul

O DEANNA
I am a-knocking
O DEANNA
With my toolbox and my stocking
O DEANNA
And I'll meet you on the corner
O DEANNA
Yes, you point it like a finger
O DEANNA
And squeeze its little thing
O DEANNA
Feel its kick, hear its bang
And let no worry about its issue
Don't worry about where its been
and don't worry about where it hits
Cause it just ain't yours to sin

O DEANNA
No it just ain't your to sin
O DEANNA
Sweet Deanna
O DEANNA
And we ain't getting any younger
O DEANNA
And I don't intend gettin' any older
O DEANNA
The sun a hump at my shoulder
O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O DEANNA
Sweet Deanna
O DEANNA
And I ain't down here for your money
I ain't down here for your love
I ain't down here for your love of money
I'm down here for your soul

Circus
Eric Clapton


Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.


And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.


And it's sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round.
And it's sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
'Cause the circus left town.


Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line.


Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
And when I smile I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.


Chorus

Chorus

The circus left town, left town.
The circus left town, left town.
