Into My Arms

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

Type O Negative - Stay Out Of My Dreams

I shant think of her when I'm awake
However in sleep I can't escape
A Coney Island high when I get inside
All I ask is please stay out of my dreams

Near the streets of Richmond and Hylan
Dwells the Princess of Staten Island
A seven dollar toll will get me in her hole
All I ask is please stay out of my dreams

Though long gone, she won't let me forget
When at night I wake up in her sweat
A lonely Brooklyn troll, a ghost of Red Hook old
All I ask is please stay out of my dreams

With your straight black hair and emerald green eyes
Hippies pointing "That's Pete's sister in disguise"
Maybe you had uttered those words as a jest
I don't mind the allegations of incest

At the time I thought I could love no other
Till I heard you say that I was your brother
In your e-mail said how much we look like twins
How it turned you on just knowing it's a sin

Stay out of my dreams

LIVING LOVING MAID (SHE'S JUST A WOMAN)
Led Zepplin

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hair
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman
Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman

Come on, babe, on the round about
Ride on the merry-go-round
We all know what your name is
So you better lay your money down

Alimony, alimony payin' your bills
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman
When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman

Come on, babe on the roundabout
Ride on the merry-go-round
We all know what ya name is
So you better lay your money down

Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman
With the butler and the maid and the servants three
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman

Ah, hits it now
Guitar Solo)
Oh, you got

Nobody hears a single word you say
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman
But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day
Livin' lovin', she's just a woman

Come on, babe on the round about
Ride on the merry-go-round
We all know what your name is
So you better lay your money down

Livin' lovin', she's just a woman
Livin'(livin') lovin' (lovin'), she's just a woman
Livin' (la-la-live) lovin' (la-la-love), she's just a woman

Triple SHot of Depeche Mode!

Waiting for the Night

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better
Than when they were opened
Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you hear
Is tranquility

In your Room

In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave

In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here
Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
Your favourite slave

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here

In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
Your favourite slave

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here

Will I always be here

[b]Dream ON[b]

Can you feel a little love?

As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see

Hey you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating

Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you

Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching

can you feel little love
dream on dream on

Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed

It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed ground
Where holiness is never found

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

can you feel a little love
dream on dream on

Pulp - Common People (extended lyrics)

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St Martin's college
That's where I....
Caught her eye

She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine,".....
And then in thirty seconds time she said

"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you."

Oh what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started .... there
I said "Pretend you've got no money."
But she just laughed an said "Oh you're so funny."
I said "Yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here

Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like me?"

But she didn't ... understand
She just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what ever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And then dance, and drink, and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool.

Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out.

They'll tear your insides out

`cos everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stain and grease will come out in the bath

You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why.

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching .... roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all, Yeah.

Never live like common people
Never do what common people do
Never fail like common people
Never watch your life .... slide out of view

And then dance, and drink, .... and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

I want to live with common people like you

Mirror, Mirror (Blind Guardian)

Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain
It lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer

chorus (1):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity

Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe
Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames
Alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

chorus (2):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change

Even though
The storm calmed down
The bitter end
Is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

chorus (2)

Don't Come Around Here No More
Tom Petty


Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more

I've given up. I've given up-
I've given up on waiting any longer
I've given up, on this love getting stronger

I don't feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more

I've given up. I've given up
I've given up, you tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please admit it's over

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more

Stop walking down my street
Who do you expect to meet?
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more

Don't do me like that

I was talkin' with a friend of mine
Said a woman done hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so, then
Turned around and let him go

Then he said "you'd better watch your step"
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...

CHORUS:
Don't do me like that, Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby, Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that, Don't do me like that
Someday I'll need ya baby, Don't do me like that

Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies, Cut you down to size...

'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin'
Love doesn't last that long...
I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it
I know I can't take it no more....

Then he said "you'd better watch your step"
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...

The Scotsman

Well Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-odly-oh
Ring-dye-diddly-aye-oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

About that time two young and lovely girls just tapping by
One of them says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-odly-oh
Ring-dye-diddly-aye-oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-odly-oh
Ring-dye-diddly-aye-oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

They marvelled for a moment, then one said "We must be gone,
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-odly-oh
Ring-dye-diddly-aye-oh
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,
"Ack! Lad, I don't know where you been, but I see you've won first prize."

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-odly-oh
Ring-dye-diddly-aye-oh
Lad, I don't know where you been, but I see you've won first prize.

I Will love You by Fisher

Til my body is dust
til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you

Til the sun starts to cry
and the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you

But I need to know
will you stay for all time
forever and a day
Then I'll give my heart
'til the end of all time
forever and a day

And I need to know
will you stay for all time
forever and a day
Then I'll give my heart
'til the end of all time
forever and a day

'Til storms fill my eyes
and we touch the last time
I will love you, love you

I will love you, love you....
I will love you, love you, love you...

Going Down Slow
Little Walter, Eric Clapton

I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
I have had my fun if I never get well no more.
All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.
Tell her to pray for me,
Forgive me for my sin,
For all of my sin.

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
'Cause all of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

The Wildhearts

I wanna go where the people go


Out of the misery
To wash my soul
Out of the cram with new wave can
And I'm the king of rock and roll
Checkin' my mirror
And I don't mind
Same old cracks in the face and class are
Just a little more defined

So I'm making the distance
I'm born in the business

And me?
In time
Let it shine
Let it shine

Well,
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
Take me there
Anywhere
Just so long as there some atmosphere
We'll be round

C'mon
We all went down

Show me a hero
Of head and heart
Rid of the stars and the blah, blah, blahs
Would be a worthy way to start

Rid of the cliches
That go round and round
I wanna be where the ****s like me
Are buried six feet underground

So if pride is a memory
Is nobody angry?

And me?
In time
Let it shine
Let it shine

Well,
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
Take me there
Anywhere
Just so long as there an atmosphere
We'll be round

C'mon down
We all went down

Well,
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
Take me there
Anywhere
Just so long as there an atmosphere
We'll be round

C'mon down
We all went down

We went down
We went down
We went down
We all went down
We went down
We all went down

Grreat song

Dodgy

So Let Me Go Far

So in the morning I awoke
I turned my eyes towards the road
I swallowed hard and smelt the air
I cursed this world for not being fair
Oh in the morning I awoke
And through the seasons I have journeyed
Without a clue to where I'm bound
I lost my bearings long ago
I watched our heroes come and go
And since then I've heard no sound

So let me go far
So let me go far
And when I reach there let me know
'Cos I'll keep walking, please let me know
You got to let me know

My belly yearns for food and drink
And my heart it yearns as always
Those pills you gave me for the pain
Made my mind never feel the same
Oh no, oh no I won't see my home again

The vultures swoop above my love
The wisdom palace steeple shine
My battered longing for the truth
Keeps me clinging to my youth
And what was truly mine

So let me go far
So let me go far
And when I reach there let me know
'Cos I'll keep walking too
You've got to, got to let me know

So let me go far
And when I reach there, I want to know

Oo, yeah, Dixie Highway.
I wish I was in Dixie, Dixie, Dixie.

Get off the internet

it feels so 80's
or early 90's
to be political
where are my friends

(get off the internet)
i'll meet u in the street
(get off the internet)
destroy the right wing
(get off the internet)
I'll meet u in the street
(get off the internet)

this is repetitive
but nothing has changed
and I'm crazy
where are my friends

(get off the internet)
i'll meet u in the street
(get off the internet)
destroy the right wing
(get off the internet)
i'll meet u in the street
