paul carruthers Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Girl before the mirror Appraises her disguise Child become a mother Tries to fix her eyes No more of his excuses It has to be today She can keep her fantasy If she can get away Paint her name on a one-way street Painted cheeks with angry heat Wounded pride on painted eyes Paint the night with battle cries All puffed up with vanity We see what we want to see To the beautiful and the wise The mirror always lies Boy before the mirror Checks his camouflage Polishes his armor And the charger in the garage No more lame excuses It has to be tonight He can take the princess If he can take the fight Pound the drums with martial beat Pound the streets with marching feet Wounded pride, distorted eyes Paint the night with battle cries All puffed up with vanity We see what we want to see To the powerful and the wise The mirror always lies Boys and girls together Mistake conceit for pride Ambition for illusion Dreams for self-delusion Girls and boys together See what it is we lack Boys and girls together Let's paint the mirror black Paint it black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I want to hold the hand inside you I want to take a breath that's true I look to you and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth You live your life....... You go in shadows You'll come apart and you'll go black Some kind of night into your darkness Colors your eyes with what's not there. Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you ..........I think it's strange you never knew A stranger's light comes on slowly A stranger's heart without a home You put your hands into your head And then it's smiles cover your heart Fade into you ..........Strange you never knew .......Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Shep Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Somewhere a clock strikes midnight And there's a full moon in the sky You hear a dog bark in the distance You hear someone's baby cry A rat runs down the alley And a chill runs down your spine And someone walks across your grave And you wish the sun would shine Cause no one's gonna warn you And no one's gonna yell 'Attack' And you don't feel the steel Till it's hanging out your back I'm your Night Prowler, sleep in the day I'm your Night Prowler, get out of my way Look out for the Night Prowler, watch you tonight I'm the Night Prowler, when you turn out the light ... Too scared to turn your light out 'Cos there's something on your mind Was that a noise outside your window? What's that shadow on the blind? As you lie there naked Like a body in a tomb Suspended animation As I slip into your room I'm your Night Prowler, sleep in the day I'm your Night Prowler, get out of my way Look out for the Night Prowler, watch you tonight I'm the Night Prowler, when you turn out the light ... I'm your Night Prowler, break down your door I'm your Night Prowler, crawling 'cross your floor I'm your Night Prowler, make a mess of you, yes I will Night Prowler, and I am telling this to you There ain't nothing you can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Dirigible Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I read the news today oh, boy About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad Well, I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords I saw a film today oh, boy The English army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away But I just had to look Having read the book I'd love to turn you on. Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up, I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke And somebody spoke and I went into a dream I read the news today oh, boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall I'd love to turn you on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEPFAN17 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 "Sweet Emotion" Talk about things and nobody cares Wearing other things that nobody wears Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year. Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent Said my get up and go musta got up & went. You got good news but you're a real good liar Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire. Riff 8x, then sweet emotion [2x] Pulled into town in a police car Your daddy said I took you just a little too far. Tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied Can't catch me cause the rabbit done died. Standin' in front just shakin' your ass. Take you back stage you can drink from my glass. Talk about something you can sure understand Cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepscoda Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Shake dreams from your hair My pretty child, my sweet one. Choose the day and choose the sign of your day The day's divinity First thing you see. A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon Couples naked race down by it's quiet side And we laugh like soft, mad children Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy The music and voices are all around us. Choose they croon the Ancient Ones The time has come again Choose now, they croon Beneath the moon Beside an ancient lake Enter again the sweet forest Enter the hot dream ......Come with us...... ......... Everything is broken up and dances. Edited January 2, 2013 by zepscoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Dirigible Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Bright light almost blinding, Black night still there shining. I can't stop keep on climbing, Looking for what I knew. Had a friend she once told me, "You got a love, you ain't lonely." Now she's gone and left me only, Looking for what I knew. I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now, Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just. Met a man on the roadside crying, Without a friend there's no denying. You're incomplete there'll be no finding, Looking for what you knew. So anytime somebody needs you, Don't let them down although it grieves you, Someday you'll need someone like they do, Looking for what you knew. I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now, Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner See his eye as he stops one of three Mesmerises one of the wedding guests Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the Sea And the music plays on, as the bride passes by Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale. Driven south to the land of the snow and ice To a place where nobody's been Through the snow fog flies on the albatross Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings. And the ship sails on, back to the North Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on The mariner kills the bird of good omen His shipmates cry against what he's done But when the fog clears, they justify him And make themselves a part of the crime. Sailing on and on and North across the sea Sailing on and on and North 'till all is calm The albatross begins with its vengeance A terrible curse a thirst has begun His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner About his neck, the dead bird is hung. And the curse goes on and on and on at sea And the thirst goes on and on for them and me "Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink." There, calls the mariner there comes a ship over the line But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide. See... onward she comes Onwards she nears, out of the sun See... she has no crew She has no life, wait but there's two Death and she Life in Death, they throw their dice for the crew She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now. Then ... crew one by one They drop down dead, two hundred men She... She, Life in Death. She lets him live, her chosen one. "One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh Each turned his face with a ghastly pang and cursed me with his eye Four times fifty living men (and I heard nor sigh nor groan), With heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one." The curse it lives on in their eyes The Mariner he wished he'd die Along with the sea creatures But they lived on, so did he. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom With heart he blesses them God's creatures all of them too. Then the spell starts to break The albatross falls from his neck Sinks down like lead into the Sea Then down in falls comes the rain. Hear the groans of the long dead seamen See them stir and they start to rise Bodies lifted by good spirits None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes And revenge is still sought, penance starts again Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on. Now the curse is finally lifted And the Mariner sights his home Spirits go from the long dead bodies Form their own light and the Mariner's left alone And then a boat came sailing towards him It was a joy he could not believe The Pilot's boat, his son and the hermit Penance of life will fall onto Him. And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea And the hermit shrives the mariner of his sins The Mariner's bound to tell of his story To tell his tale wherever he goes To teach God's word by his own example That we must love all things that God made. And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man And the tale goes on and on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
