Link 3 Posted May 4, 2004 This reminds me of two people who are very special to me... There Goes My Life: Kenny Chesney All he could think about was: "I'm too young for this. "Got my whole life ahead. "Hell, I'm just a kid myself: "How'm I gonna raise one?" All he could see were his dreams, Going up in smoke. So much for ditchin' this town, An' hangin' out on the coast. Oh well, those plans are long gone. And he said: "There goes my life. "There goes my future, my everything. "Might as well kiss it all good-bye: "There goes my life." A couple years of up all night, An' a few thousand diapers later. That mistake he thought he made, Covers up the refrigerator: Oh yeah, he loves that little girl. An' Momma's waiting to tuck her in, As she fumbles up those stairs. She smiles back at him, Dragging that teddy bear: "Sleep tight." Blue eyes and bouncing curls. An' he smiles: "There goes my life "There goes my future, my everything." "I love you, Daddy, goodnight." "There goes my life." She had that Honda loaded down, With Abercrombie clothes, An' and fifteen pairs of shoes, An' his American Express. He checked the oil and slammed the hood, Said: "You're good to go." She hugged them both, An'd headed off to the west coast. An' he cried: "There goes my life. "There goes my future, my everything. "I love you, baby, good-bye. "There goes my life. "There goes my life. "Baby, good-bye." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roethlisberger 0 Posted May 5, 2004 The Clash - Hateful From the album "London Calling" (Written by Joe Strummer and Mick Jones) Well, I got a friend who's a man What man? The man who keeps me from the lovely He gives me what I need What you need? What you got? I need it all so badly Oh, anything I want he gives it to me Anything I want he gives it, but not for free It's hateful And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere This year I've lost some friends Some friends? What friends? I dunno, I ain't even noticed You see, I gotta go out again Again? My friend I gotta see that mainman I killed all my nerves My nerves? What swerves? And I can't drive so steady I've lost my memory My mind? Behind! I can't see so clearly Oh, anything I want he gives it to me Anything I want he gives it, but not for free It's hateful And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere ----------------------------------------------------------- Roy Orbison - In Dreams (This song is used to very creepy effect in Blue Velvet) Words and Music by Roy Orbison In Dreams A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper ?Go to sleep, everything is all right? I close my eyes then I drift away Into the magic night, I softly say A silent prayer like dreamers do Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you In dreams I walk with you In dreams I talk to you In dreams you're mine all the time We're together in dreams, in dreams But just before the dawn I awake and find you gone I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry I remember that you said goodbye Too bad it only seems It only happens in my dreams Only in dreams In beautiful dreams.

Roethlisberger 0 Posted May 8, 2004 Johnny Cash - Boy Named Sue My daddy left home when I was three And he didn't leave much to Ma and me Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue.' Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk, It seems I had to fight my whole life through. Some gal would giggle and I'd get red And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head, I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue.' Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, My fist got hard and my wits got keen, I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. But I made me a vow to the moon and stars That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars And kill that man that give me that awful name. Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just hit town and my throat was dry, I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. At an old saloon on a street of mud, There at a table, dealing stud, Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue.' Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. He was big and bent and gray and old, And I looked at him and my blood ran cold And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' how do you do! Now you gonna die!" Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes And he went down but, to my surprise, He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. I tell ya, I've fought tougher men But I really can't remember when, He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. And he said: "Son, this world is rough And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along. So I give ya that name and I said good-bye I knew you'd have to get tough or die And it's that name that helped to make you strong." He said: 'Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. But ya ought to thank me, before I die, For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause I'm the son-of-a-bith that named you 'Sue'.' I got all choked up and I threw down my gun And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, And I come away with a different point of view. And I think about him, now and then, Every time I try and every time I win, And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George or Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Ender 8 Posted May 12, 2004 Here's To You by O.A.R. What you see going by is a shadow. You?ve got to live in front of your eyes. In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past. In a typical day we?ll stay to see what?s gonna last. But I didn?t mind at all. I didn't mind at all I didn't mind at all I didn't mind at all Well there was a place we?d chase through the woods in my juvenile days. What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place to stay. But I could have cried but I just left my soul to fly. And I could have chilled at will, but I didn?t know how to die. But I didn?t mind at all. I didn't mind at all I didn't mind at all I didn't mind at all No, I?ve been woken, and I have been broken. But this time it?s gonna change For, I?ve been lazy, and I been crazy. Has been stolen, But from, From this day on I swear to you true. From this day on I swear to you. Well there was at time when I could have flown out of the room. Yet I didn?t care just where I was going after noon. Though I didn?t know and I chose to live my life so fair. And I could have died, but I chose to live here instead But I didn?t mind at all. I didn't mind at all I didn't mind at all I didn't mind at all I?ve been woken, and I have been broken But this time its gonna change For, I?ve been lazy and I have been crazy But this time it?s not hazy at all Cause I?ve been, I?ve been chose my heart has been stolen But from, From this day on, I swear to you true. From this day on, I swear to you true. I say now way back when you and all your friends Had some good times we should do this again we?d say Hey, hey, hey we should do this again, we?d say. But in the mean meanwhile, I?ll just walk the mile. I won?t look back won?t forget your smile Oh no, hey hey hey we should do this again, we?d say. But I swear to you true. From this day on I swear to you true I swear I do. NO. I won?t give you back. From this day on I swear to you true. I swear I do God, I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roethlisberger 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Johnny Cash - Hurt (Yeah, I know it was Nine Inch Nails originally, but this version is much better) I hurt myself today, to see if i still feel, I focus on the pain, the only thing thats real, The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting, try to kill it all away, but I remember everything. (Chorus) What have I become, my sweetest friend? Everyone i know, goes away in the end, and you could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt. I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liars chair, full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair, beneath the stains of time, the feelings dissapear. You are someone else. I am still right here. What have I become, my sweetest friend? Everyone I know, goes away in the end, and you could have it all, my empire of dirt, I will let you down. I will make you hurt. If I could start agian, a million miles away, I will keep myself, I would find a way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsl 7 Posted May 17, 2004 (edited) Hey, it's that song GI was on about before and no one knew but me and him! Memory from the musical Cats Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement. Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone. In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan. Memory. All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then. I remember the time I knew what happiness was, Let the memory live again. Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning. Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters and soon it will be morning. Daylight. I must wait for the sunrise, I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in. When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin. Burnt out ends of smokey days, the stale cold smell of morning. The street lamp dies, another night is over, another day is dawning. Touch me. It's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun. If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is. Look, a new day has begun.

TheUnknown 39 Posted May 25, 2004 The Smashing Pumpkins - "Mayonaise" Fool enough to almost be it Cool enough to not quite see it Doomed Pick your pockets full of sorrow And run away with me tomorrow June We'll try and ease the pain But somehow we'll feel the same Well, no one knows Where our secrets go I send a heart to all my dearies When your life is so, so dreary Dream I'm rumored to the straight and narrow While the harlots of my perils Scream And I fail But when I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will Mother weep the years I'm missing All our time can't be given Back Shut my mouth and strike the demons That cursed you and your reasons Out of hand and out of season Out of love and out of feeling So bad When I can, I will Words defy the plans When I can, I will Fool enough to almost be it And cool enough to not quite see it And old enough to always feel this Always old, I'll always feel this No more promise no more sorrow No longer will I follow Can anybody hear me I just want to be me When I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will Also, please reference "Hurt," which Fett listed above.

My beloved lets get down to business Mental self defensive fitness (Yo) bum rush the show You gotta go for what you know Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be Lemme hear you say... Fight the power! Fight the Power! Fight the power! Fight the power! We gotta fight the powers that be! Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant ---- to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Mother---- him and John Wayne Cause I'm Black and I'm proud I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps Sample a look back you look and find Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check Don't worry be happy Was a number one jam Damn if I say it you can slap me right here (Get it) lets get this party started right Right on, c'mon What we got to say Power to the people no delay To make everybody see In order to fight the powers that be Fight the power!

TheUnknown 39 Posted May 30, 2004 Oasis - "Wonderwall" Today is gonna be the day That they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realised what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now Backbeat the word was on the street That the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels The way I do about you now And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would Like to say to you but I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me ? And after all You're my wonderwall Today was gonna be the day? But they'll never throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realised what you're not to do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do About you now And all the roads that lead you there were winding And all the lights that light the way are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you I don't know how I said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me ? And after all You're my wonderwall I said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me ? And after all You're my wonderwall Said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
