Cocaine
Eric Clapton (J. J. Cale)


If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out.
Cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground.
Cocaine.


She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine.


If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues.
Cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run.
Cocaine.


Chorus

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on.
Cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back.
Cocaine.

Nirvana - Swap Meet

They lead a lifetime that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make their living off of arts and crafts
The kind with seashells, driftwood and burlap
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show

-- Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
-- Keeps her photographs close to her heart
-- Keeps the bitterness close to the heart

Nirvana - About A Girl

I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I don't think you fit this shoe
I do ... won't you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night for free
I do

I'm standing in your line
I do ... hope you have the time
I do ... pick a number too
I do ... keep a date with you

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night for free

I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I do ... think you fit this shoe
I do ... won't you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
For free

[Clear Skies]

Belinda Carlisle - Live Your Life, Be Free

I see you walking with her
I see you all around
But you don't seem very happy now
You seem very down
I know you feel an obligation
To her emotional state of mind
But this is the time of your life baby
And you should be having a good time

And if you want me I'll be there
To run my fingers through your hair
If you need me it's alright
Come on over baby, and see me tonight (you've got to)
Live your life be free
Live your life be free
Open up your mind and you will see
You should be with me

You know that I'll be waiting
You know my heart is true
I will be your everything
And give everything to you
So is you want me baby, I'm yours
You don't have to knock kick down my doors
Rules are made to be broken every day
You got one life to live, so hey (why don't you)
Live your life be free
Live your life be free
Open up your heart and you will see
You should be with me, baby
You should be with me

Another, How I'm Feeling Songs.

All my rowdy friends (have settled down)
Hank Williams Jr.

All my rowdy friends have settled down
and it seems to be more in the laid back songs.
Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud.
Everybody just wants to go back home.
I myself have seen my wilder days
and I have seen my name at the top of the page,
but I need to find a friend just to run around.
But no one wants to get high on the town
and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

And I think I know what my father meant
when he sang about a lost highway
and old George Jones I'm glad to see he's finally getting straight,
and Waylon staying home and loving Jesse more these days,
and nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

and the hang overs hurt more then they used to
and corn bread and ice tea took the place
of pills and ninety-proof,
and it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do
and nobody wants to get high on the town
and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

Yeah I think I know what my father meant
when he sang about his lost highway
and Johnny Cash don't act like he did back in '68
and Kris he is a movie star and he's moved off to L.A.
and nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
and all my rowdy friends have settled down

yeah me and my rowdy friends have rowdied on down.

how i'm feeling......as always

SHe Hates me by Puddle of Mud (or he inthis case)

Met a girl, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued

in a trap, trip I can’t grip
never thought
I'd be the one who would slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

(Chorus)
she ****in' hates me
trust,
she ****in' hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away

she was queen for about an hour
after that, **** got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no

in a trap, trip I can’t grip
never thought
I'd be the one who would slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

Chorus

that’s my story, as you see
learned my lesson and so did she
now it’s over, and I'm glad
‘cause I'm a fool for all I've said

Chorus

la la la la la la la la la love
trust
la la la la la la la la la love
trust
la la la la la la la la la love
and she tore my feelings like I had none

she ****in' hates me

Speed of Pain by Marilyn Manson


They slit our throats
Like we were flowers
And our milk has been devoured
When you want it, it goes away too fast
Times you hate it, it always seems to last
But just remember when you think you're free
The crack inside your ****ing heart is me

I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day (x2)

I wish I could sleep
But I can't lay on my back
Because there's a knife for everyday
That I've known you

When you want it, it goes away too fast
Times you hate it, it always seems to last
But just remember when you think you're free
The crack inside your ****ing heart is me

I wanna outrace the speed of pain
For another day (x2)

Lie to me cry to me give to me I would
Lie with me die with me give to me I would

Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair (x2)

Lie to me cry to me give to me I would
Lie with me die with me give to me I would

Hope that we die holding hands always(x3)

The Downward SPiral by NIN

He couldn't believe how easy it was
He put the gun into his face
Bang!
(so much blood for such a little hole)

Problems have solutions
A lifetime of ****ing things up fixed in one determined flash

Everything's blue
In this world
The deepest shade of mushroom blue
All fuzzy
Spilling out of my head

Please by NIN

This is how
It begins
Push it away but it all comes back again
All the flesh
All the sin
There was a time when it used to mean just about everything

Just like now

Breathe, echoing the sound
Time starts slowing down
Sink until I drown
(please) I don't ever want to make it stop

And it keeps repeating
Will you please complete me?

Never be enough to fill me up

Watch the white
Turn to red
It fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead
All my life
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
(well guess what?)
The world is over and i realize it was all in my head

Now everything is clear
I erase the fear
I can disappear
(please) I don't ever want to make it stop

You can never leave me
Will you please complete me

Never be enough to fill me up

The Only Time by NIN

I'm drunk
And right now I'm so in love with you
And I don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do
Lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
While the devil wants to **** me in the back of his car

Nothing quite like the feel of something new
Maybe I'm all messed up [2x]
Maybe I'm all messed up in you
Maybe I'm all messed up [3x]
Maybe I'm all messed up in you
Maybe I'm all messed up
This is the only time I really feel alive [2x]

I swear
I just found everything I need
The sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me
Well I want to wrap it up and swim in it until I drown
My moral standing is lying down

Nothing quite like the feel of something new
Maybe I'm all messed up [2x]
Maybe I'm all messed up in you
Maybe I'm all messed up [3x]
Maybe I'm all messed up in you
Maybe I'm all messed up
This is the only time I really feel alive [2x]
Maybe I'm all messed up in you
This is the only time I really feel alive

Suicide Note Pt. 1 by Pantera

Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take
the pain away
Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot
see inside yours and mine

(Pre)
When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me
breathe, for our handle on this life, I don't believe
this time

(Chorus)
Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I'm a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Try to die again.....

Forever fooling, free and using, sliding down the
slide that breaks a will
Mothers angel, getting smarter, how smart are
you to regress unfulfilled? It's a damn shame,
but who's to blame?

[SlowwHand]

THE RACE IS ON
George Jones
(Written by Don Rollins)

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
Oh, she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl?

Well, the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My Tears are holding back
They're tryin' not to fall
My Heart's out of the running
True Love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
And the winner loses all.

One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And thinkin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
I came out in second place.

[SlowwHand]

The Boxer
Simon & Garfunkel


I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles (and uh huhs ) such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie la lie ...

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
Lie la lie ...

[boann]

Higher by Creed

When dreaming guided into another world
time and time again
As sore eyes I fight to stay asleep
cause i don't want to leave the comfort of this place
Cause theres a hunger longing to escape
from the life I live when I'm awake
So lets go there
Lets make our escape
Come on lets go there
Lets ask can we stay
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
Although i would like a world of change
it's helps me to appreciate those nights and those dreams
But my friend, i'd sacrafice all those nights if I could make
the earth and
my dreams the same
The only difference is
to let love replace all our hate
So lets go there
Lets make our escape
Come on lets go there
Lets ask can we stay
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
So lets go there
Lets go there
Come on lets go there
Lets ask can we stay
All high and i feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Sailed high i'm strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine
Sailed high i'm strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets

If we're on 'how I'm feeling' songs...

Texas - Tired of Being Alone
originally by Al Green

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

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

I guess that you know that I love you so
Even though you don't want me no more
I'm crying tears, honey, through the years
I tell you like it is, honey
Love me if you want, baby

Tired, baby
Tired of being alone by myself now
Tired, baby
Tired of being on my own at night
In my dreams it's you, baby

Sometimes I wonder if you love me like you say you do
Cause pleasing you has proven to me to be my greatest dream

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


Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

[Sprayber]

Sometimes, Even Good People Can Be A Bastard

A Bad Goodbye
Clint Black & Wynonna

I've been bound to leave you, we've known that for awhile
I'm sure it's something I can't do if I can't leave you with a smile
I don't know how far I'll have to go 'til I'm sure those eyes won't cry
And in my mind I've left enough to know that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye

Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none

I'm still bound to leave you, I surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind says should happen now
I don't know where we'll go from here, there may be no way to fly
And the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye

Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none

How can we be so far between where we are and one more try
And any way I look, I've only seen that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye

[Sprayber]

Appropriate At Times I Think

Bullet With Butterfly wings
Smashing Pumpkins

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know-I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know-I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say what is lost can never be save
And I still believe that i cannot be saved

My Unofficial Theme Song According To An Ex Girlfriend

Behind Blue Eyes
The Who

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like to be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours when only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
If I smile tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
But if I shiver would you give me a blanket
Keep me warm let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

The Waterboys

THE RETURN OF PAN

I stood upon the balcony with my brand new bride
the clink of bells came drifting down the mountainside
when in our sight
something moved
lightning eyed
and cloven hooved
The Great God Pan is alive!

He moves amid the modern world in disguise
It's possible to look into his immortal eyes
He's like a man you'd meet
anyplace
until you recognise
that ancient face
The Great God Pan is alive!

At sea on a ship in a thunderstorm
on the very night that Christ was born
a sailor heard from overhead
a might voice cry "Pan is dead!"
so follow Christ as best you can
Pan is dead! Long Live Pan!

From the olden days and up through all the years
from Arcadia to the stone fields of Inisheer
Some say the Gods are just a myth
but guess who I've been dancing with!
The Great God Pan is Alive!

[Ramo]

Everybody Needs Somebody to Love
The Rolling Stones

I'm so glad to be here tonight and I'm so glad to be home.
And I believe I've got a message for every woman and
Every man here tonight that ever needed somebody to love
Someone to stay with them all the time, when they're
Up and when they're down. You know, sometimes you get what you want
And then you go and lose what you have
And I believe every woman and every man here tonight listen to my song
And it save the whole world.
Listen to me.

[self biased]

i do not want this, nine inch nails.

I'm losing ground
Well you know how this world can beat you down
And I'm made of clay
I fear I'm the only one who thinks this way
I'm always falling down the same hill
Bamboo puncturing this skin
And nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall I'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face
And if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place

I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this

And don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
You don't know just how I feel

I stay inside my bed
I have lived so many lives all in my head
And don't tell me that you care
There really isn't anything. Now is there?
You would know. Wouldn't you?
You extend your hand to those who suffer
To those who know what it really feels like
To those who have had a taste
Like that means something
And oh so sick I am
And maybe I don't have a choice
And maybe that is all I have
And maybe this is a cry for help

I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this

And don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
You don't know just how I feel

I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to **** everyone in the world
And [1,2,3] I want to do something that matters
