Virginia Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Tonight I Wanna Cry - Keith Urban Alone in this house again tonight I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me The way that it was and could have been surrounds me I'll never get over you walkin' away (Chorus:) I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes Tonight I wanna cry Would it help if I turned a sad song on "All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes Tonight I wanna cry I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain To hell with this pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes Tonight I wanna cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 the street is cold, the dawn is grey my heart says no but my head says stay my work is finished, or so I've been told can't part the three of us, once we got a hold I forgot the name I took a shot on the chin I'm rearranging my game tell by the shape I'm in in line of fire, you know what to say they gave us no choices, just one shade of grey my legs keep movin', I don't seem to stray but I know each step we take, they're one step away I found the secret, the key to the vault we walked in darkness, kept hittin' the walls I took the time, to feel for the door I found the secret, the key to it all I got the Nouveauree and dragged it home to bed I traded you for me I took it all and said I find my own fun, sometimes for free I got to pay it to come lookin' for me walkin' on Gucci, wearin' Yves St. Laurent barely stay on cause I'm so God damn gaunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagemccartney95 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Time-Pink Floyd Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say Breathe Reprise Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired Its good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells. :wub: , Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0mmunicati0nBreakd0wn Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Falling To Pieces - Faith No More Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark Sometimes I think I'm blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away But I know, there's a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens... Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Layin' face down on the ground My fingers in my ears to block the sound My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight Droplets of "yes" and "no" In an ocean of "maybe" From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline From the top, another downhill slope of mine But I know, the equilibrium's there Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, Would you hear my voice come through the music, Would you hold it near as it were your own? Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, Perhaps they're better left unsung. I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, If your cup is full may it be again, Let it be known there is a fountain, That was not made by the hands of men. There is a road, no simple highway, Between the dawn and the dark of night, And if you go no one may follow, That path is for your steps alone. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. You who choose to lead must follow, But if you fall you fall alone, If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home. La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da, da da, da da da da da La da da da, la da da, da da, la da da da, la da, da da. - by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancin'Days Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q4LvXZNOuI John Barleycorn Traffic There were three men came out of the West, Their fortunes for to try, And these three men made a solemn vow: John Barleycorn must die. They've ploughed, they've sewn, they've harrowed him in, Threw clods upon his head, And these three men made a solemn vow: John Barleycorn was dead. They've let him lie for a very long time, ‘Till the rains from heaven did fall, And little Sir John sprung up his head, And so amazed them all. They've let him stand ‘till midsummer's day, ‘Till he looked both pale and wan, And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard, And so become a man. They've hired men with the scythes so sharp, To cut him off at the knee, They've rolled him and tied him by the way, Serving him most barbarously. They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks, Who pricked him to the heart, And the loader he has served him worse than that, For he's bound him to the cart They've wheeled him around and around the field, ‘Till they came unto a barn, And there they made a solemn oath, On poor John Barleycorn. They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks, To cut him skin from bone, And the miller he has served him worse than that, For he's ground him between two stones. And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl, And he's brandy in the glass; And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl, Proved the strongest man at last. The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox, Nor so loudly to blow his horn, And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pot, Without a little Barleycorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal light Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, I was raised in a sophisticated kind of style. Yeah, my taste in music and women drove my folks half wild. Mom and Dad had a plan for me, It was debutantes and symphonies, But I like my music; I like my women wild. Yeah, an' I like my women just a little on the trashy side, When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed. Too much lipstick an' too much rouge, Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused. An' I like my women just a little on the trashy side. Shoulda seen the looks on the faces of my Dad and Mom, When I showed up at the door with a date for the senior prom. They said: "Well, pardon us son, she ain't no kid. "That's a cocktail waitress in a Dolly Parton wig. I said: "I know it dad, ain't she cool, that's the kind I dig." Yeah, an' I like my women just a little on the trashy side, When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed. Too much lipstick an' and too much rouge, Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused. An' I like my women just a little on the trashy side. Instrumental break. I like 'em sweet, I like 'em with a heart of gold. Yeah an' I like 'em brassy, I like 'em brazen and bold. Well, they say that opposites attract, well, I don't agree I want a woman just as tacky as me. Yeah, I like my women just a little on the trashy side. Yeah, an' I like my women just a little on the trashy side, When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed. Too much lipstick an' er too much rouge, Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused. An' I like my women just a little on the trashy side. Yeah, I like my women an' I like 'em on the trashy side.

So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life (Chorus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djzoso Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 just had it in my head Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-Mary Jane's Last Dance She grew up in a Indiana town, Had a good lookin' mama who never was around. But she grew up tall and she grew up right With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night. Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen, She blew the boys away; was more than they'd seen. I was introduced and we both started groovin' She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin' - on. Keep movin' on." Chorus Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain. I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again. Well I don't know but I've been told, you never slow down, you never grow old. I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of goin' down, Tired of myself, tired of this town, Oh my, my, oh hell yes - Honey put on that party dress. Buy me a drink, sing me a song, Take me as I come . cause I can't stay long. (Repeat Chorus) There's pigeons down on Market Square, She's standing in her underwear. Lookin' down from a hotel room, Nightfall will be coming soon. Oh my, my, oh hell yes, you got to put on that party dress. It was too cold to cry, when I woke up alone. I hit my last number, I walked to the road. (Repeat Chorus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirchris Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I appear brief in a bend of light, Carving the animal from gelignite. Oh I take no form, I am a leision in time, The weight of the world is love. I'm the devil incarnate and I am loose, Feel me in your lungs and your trachea sluice. Oh, I am the music of joy, I am the music of death, The weight of the world is love. [Wright] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
