Mmh... now if life could be this easy...

Bob Marley - Kaya

Wake up and turn I loose,
Wake up and turn I loose
For the rain is falling

Got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
Got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
T feel so good in my neighbour-hood
So here I come again

I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
I feel so good in my neighbourhood
So here I come again

I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

Get up and turn I loose
Wake up and tum I loose
Wake up and tum I loose, for the rain is falling
Well kayaman, kaya, kaya

Death Blooms by Mudvayne


Cold seems crippling
lame meander through corridors
aroma's thick with age
mark off the day
reflections of my life are fading

Pull me out of body
don't want it, don't want in
Feeble frail and rotting
descending
I'm lost in
A structure that's collapsing
don't want it
cast into
maker take the body
don't want it
it wants ME

Past has found its place
salvation is no more
will god accept my peace
bleached will pardon me
reflections of my life are fading

Pull me out of body
don't want it, don't want in,
Feeble frail and rotting descending
I'm lost in
A structure that's collapsing
don't want it
cast into,
Maker take the body
don't want it
it wants ME

I just want to run
fly kites
wrestle
jump and play
Swim through waves that crash
to shore
memories in me
cocooned in misery

I'm sick
and tired
of embracing reflections of past time
receive me or cast me away
god please take me away
resistance
futile
suicidal ideas
I will crucify my own being
satisfy selfish needs **** the deities
justify my own right to what's waiting for me

On the other side of me
the time has come
lock and load
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming home

Pull me out of body
don't want it, don't want in,
Pull me out of body
don't want it, don't want in,

Pull me out of body
don't want it, don't want in,
Feeble frail and rotting
descending
I'm lost in
A structure that's collapsing
descending
don't want it,
Maker take the body
don't want it, don't want in,
Pull me out of body
don't want it, don't want in,
Feeble frail and rotting
descending
I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing
descending
don't want it
Maker take the body
don't want it
it wants ME

I just want to run
fly kites
wrestle
jump and play
Swim through waves that crash
to shore
memories in me
cocooned in misery
The darkness overcomes
soul soars to the other plain
Existence past
the door
I sail
through purgatory's bay

I asked a god for poison cradle me
sown to my dreams
souls searching
death blossoms where clouds lie over me
held in god's hands
death blooming

Dark for fear of failure
an inner gloom as wide as an eye and fermenting
roiling hate
death grip in my veins
unveiling rancid petals
flowering forth foul nectar
the space between a blink and a tear
death blooms

[Sprayber]

Livin' my life in a slow hell

Picture
Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow

(Kid Rock)
Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I aint seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways

I put your picture away
Sat down and cried the day
I can't look at you, while I'm lyin' next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her

(Sherly Crow)
I called you lastnight in the hotel
Everyone knows but they wont tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me
Somethin' just ain't right
I been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights

I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I saw ya yesterday with an old friend

(Kid Rock)
It was the same ole same "how have you been"

(Both)
Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey

(Kid Rock)
You reminded me of brighter days

(Sheryl Crow)
I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was head of the church

(Kid Rock)
I was off to drink you away

(Both)
I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't nderstand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I'llc hange my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back home

Two For Tuesday; Songs of Thanks continue

THANK GOD, I'M A COUNTRY BOY
John Denver



Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God, I'm A Country Boy

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy

When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country boy

I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should
Thank God, I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm A country boy

Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
I thank God I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's til the day he died
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy"

My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND
Andrew Gold

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say

Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

Keys To My Heart
lonestar


Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

I gotta admit it's been
wrecked a time or two
A little T.L.C. and it'll
be brand spanking new
Honey slide on in,
I'll let you take it for a spin
You'll like the way it feels
when you get behind the wheel

Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you want to go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

If you hear a little knocking
it might be skipping a beat
When it's hugging those curves
it might just overheat
It's got a lifetime guarantee,
a hot rod built for speed
So go ahead and let it fly,
you'll like the way it rides

Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

[Clear Skies]

Two for Tuesday - Fleetwood Mac

Don't Stop - for DM, because tomorrow always comes

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it take just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Don't you look back
Don't you look back


Go Your Own Way

Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel

If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do

If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

[Anodyne]

For me this this song has a deeper meaning... as it reminds me about someone very important to me (poor girl...).

Babylon Whores - Speed Doll

Did you let loose of all your thoughts
And did you block away the sun
Did you let your world just slip away
with a lullaby in a foreign tongue

Tell me how far did you make it this time
And did ya have a part in the crime
You are so weary eyes sunken so deep
Everything's in your grasp but
just out of reach

There is no up and down
when love is all around

A cute speed doll
went for a ride
eyes on fire
and burning inside
World didn't want her
World didn't care
for a two-bit madonna with her crosses to bear

Well if you could just sleep away your pain
in dark woods and hidden caves
dreaming of solitude
pride fear and lust
kissing a holocaust
And it's gone away
further every day
And it's gone away
Oh so far away
And it's gone a-

No up and down
when love is all around
There is no black and white
There is no wrong or right

(repeat chorus)

Six lullabys in a foreign tongue beyond the sun
Six lullabys in a foreign tongue beyond the sun
Speed doll you gotta slow down
Speed doll you gotta slow it all down

Just sleep
Just sleep
Just sleep for a little while
Just sleep for now
Just sleep 'til everything's all right again

[devilmunchkin]

AMber by 311

Brainstorm, take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song
And it goes like

Whoa, Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally

You ought to know what brings me here, whoa
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why

Whoa, Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally

Whoa,Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally

You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight

Whoa, Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally

Launched a thousand ships in my heart
So easy, still it's fine from afar
And you know that

Whoa, brainstorm take me away from the norm
Whoa, I got to tell you something


I Can't Believe by STone Sour

Chastity
What a virtue to be stolen
Tragedy
Has forsaken into fake
Blasphemy
Shadow stripped me of my reason
Misery
Comes to bed with me tonight
What am I gonna do

And now I can't believe
You let this happen to me
And I can't believe
They put those daggers through me
And I can't believe
You didn't come to save me from my pain

Laughed at me
They hit my face and clutched my rosary
Humility
A lesson best just left alone
Heresy
Because I'm two inside my body
Irony
A child of love from a man I hate
Until my dying day

And now I can't believe
You let this happen to me
And I can't believe
They put those daggers through me
And I can't believe
You didn't come to save me from my pain

And now I can't believe
You let this happen to me
And I can't believe
They put those daggers through me
And I can't believe
You didn't come to save me from my pain

[Bas]

John Lennon - Working Class Hero

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so ****ing crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still ****ing peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

The Replacements - Here Comes A Regular

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

Everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

[SlowwHand]

I was listening to "Working Class Hero", just last night.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Turkey. Dressing. Pecan Pie. Come to Papa !



Thanks For My Child

You came into my life, You just made everything right.
And even though my man has left me behind,

This bundle of love

The love I have for you baby, Is the love I have in me

With you right here with me,
I 'll have the strength to go on.

Thanks for my child
Here we are to today, the years have gone by
Thanks for my child

Thanks for my child
I'll hold you in my arms, I hold you close to me

And all the while, you are wrapped in blankets
You are my love child.

Until you can carry yourself On your own

Not A Day Goes By
lonestar

Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you asked me how I'm doin' I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinkin' you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishin' you were next to me, your head against my heart
If you asked me how I'm doing I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

Minutes turn to hours, and the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

[SlowwHand]

Thank U
ALANIS MORISSETTE

How about getting off of these antibiotics
How about stopping eating when I'm filled up
How about them transparent dangling carrots
How about that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How about me not blaming you for everything
How about me enjoying the moment for once
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
How about grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down

How about no longer being masochistic
How about remembering your divinity
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How about not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence

yeah yeah

Tracy Chapman - All That You Have (Is Your Soul)

Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul


Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul


I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul


Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul


I thought, thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all, take it all, I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul


Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul


All that you have
All that you have
All that you have...

Is your soul

[SlowwHand]

I Want You To Want Me
Cheap Trick

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
l need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll come home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I didn't I didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to hive me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes ....
Didn't I, didn't I, ..........
Feeling all alone without a friend ........
I want you ....................

Life Is Just Peachy

Loser
Three Doors Down

Breathe in right away, nothing seems to fill this place
I nee this every time, take your lies get off my case
Someday I will find, a love that flows through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away

You're getting closer, to pushing me off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah

This is getting old, I can't break these chains that I hold
My body's growing cold, there's nothin left of this mind or my soul
addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of this poison is taking me higher
This will fall away, this will fall away

You're getting closer, to pushing me off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser!

You're getting closer, to pushing me off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser

You're getting closer, to pushing me off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser

Runaway Train
Soul Asylum


Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
I promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now,
I'm in too deep, there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dried,
Day and night, earth and sky,
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, tearing up the track
Runaway train, burning in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same
