Wanna put your infant to bed and disturb him/her beyond compare? There is a line of CDs called Rockabye Baby, where songs by famous rock artists are turned into lullabyes. Here is the one for Metallica's "Enter Sandman." I like it, but it's creepy. I couldn't imagine getting a baby to fall asleep to that.

Stealing Cinderella

Chuck Wicks

I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man

It wasn't any secret i'd be asking for her hand

I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself

with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

She was playing Cinderella

She was riding her first bike

Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight

Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin

Dancing with her dad, looking up at him

In her eyes i'm Prince Charming

But to him i'm just some fella

riding in and stealing Cinderella

I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one

When I heard a voice behind me say "Now, ain't she something, son?"

I said "Yes, she quite a woman"

and he just stared at me

Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be

Playing Cinderella

Riding her first bike

Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight

Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin

Dancing with her dad, looking up at him

In her eyes i'm Prince Charming

But to him i'm just some fella

riding in and stealing Cinderella

He slapped me on the shoulder

Then he called her in the room

When she threw her arms around him

That's when I could see it too

She was Playing Cinderella

Riding her first bike

Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight

Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin

Dancing with her dad, looking up at him

If he gives me a hard time

I can't blame the fella

I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella

[Link 3]

I love that song! And yes, that lullaby gave ME the creeps... Onto a song...

Brooks And Dunn - God Must Be Busy

That anchor man

says the fight began

somewhere in the Middle East.

The world prays for peace.

There's a single mom

just got laid off when she lost a job

to some foreign hands

in some faraway land.

Last night in Oklahoma

some twister took thirteen

and they're praying that they find

the missing three.

God must be busy.

That highway sign

went from slow ahead

to traffic's dead.

Thought it couldn't get worse

than that Amber Alert.

They say she's 4,

Colorado plates, headed out-of-state

in a Chevy van.

It's hard to understand.

You can see it in the faces

of all those highway strangers,

they're praying that God

keeps that girl from danger.

God must be busy.

And I know in the big picture

I'm just a speck of sand

and God's got better things to do

than look out for one man.

I know he's heard my prayers

cause he hears everything,

he just ain't answered back

or he'd bring you back to me.

God must be busy.

That evening news,

Ain't much changed

pretty much the same

since I left home.

Yeah that war's still on.

They found that little girl.

She was soaking wet,

half scared to death

on the side of some road.

Them prayers work, you know.

And the Bloods and Cripps are at it,

and theres a killer drought down south,

and old folks can't afford the drugs

they can't live with out.

God must be busy.

And I know in the big picture

I'm just a speck of sand

and God's got better things to do

than look out for one man.

I know he's heard my prayers

cause he hears everything,

he just ain't answered back

or he'd bring you back to me.

God must be busy.

That anchorman,

says the fightings worse,

cities burn in the Middle East.

[The] world prays for peace

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

that's a good one too.

[TheUnknown 39]

Two Smashing Pumpkins songs. They're from the same album and deal with loss, but on a completely different emotional level:

"Tear"

Video

The lights came on fast

Lost in motorcrash

Gone in a flash unreal

But you knew all along

You laugh the light

I sing the songs

To watch you numb

I saw you there

You were on your way

You held the rain

And for the first time

Heaven seemed insane

Cause heaven is to blame

For taking you away

Do you know the way that I can?

Do you know the way that I can't lose?

Do you know the things that I can?

Do you know the things that I can do?

Where is your heart? where is your heart gone to?

Tear me apart

Tear me apart from you

You laugh the light I cry the wound

In gray afternoons

I saw you there

You were on your way

You held the rain

And for the first time

Heaven seemed insane

Cause heaven is to blame

For taking you away

The lights came to pass

Dead opera motorcrash

Gone in a flash unreal

In nitrous overcast

Do you know the way that I can?

Do you know the way that I can't choose?

Do you know the things that I can?

Do you know the things that I can't lose?

Tear me apart

Tear me apart from you

Where is your heart?

Where has your heart run to?

"For Martha" (a song that is about the death of the lead singer's mother)

Video

Whenever I run

Whenever I run to you lost one

It's never done

Just hanging on

Just past has let me be

Returning as if dream

Shattered as belief

If you have to go don't say goodbye

If you have to go don't you cry

If you have to go I will get by

Someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side

But for the grace of love

I'd will the meaning of

Heaven from above

Your picture out of time

Left aching in my mind

Shadows kept alive

If you have to go don't say goodbye

If you have to go don't you cry

If you have to go I will get by

I will follow you and see you on the other side

But for the grace of love

I'd will the meaning of

Heaven from above

Long horses we are born

Creatures more than torn

Mourning our way home

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

So Close

Jon McLaughlin (from Disney's Enchanted)

You're in my arms

And all the world is calm

The music playing on for only two

So close together

And when I'm with you

So close to feeling alive

A life goes by

Romantic dreams will stop

So I bid mine goodbye and never knew

So close was waiting, waiting here with you

And now forever I know

All that I wanted to hold you

So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end

Almost believing this was not pretend

And now you're beside me and look how far we've come

So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days

If I should lose you now?

We're so close

To reaching that famous happy end

And almost believing this was not pretend

Let's go on dreaming for we know we are

So close

So close

And still so far

Actually unknown, I just recently changed from working in a daycare and I used to get the babies asleep faster to Queens of the Stone age and Linkin Park than those stupid baby einstein cd's

A Little Priest from Sweeny Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street

MRS. LOVETT:

Seems a downright shame...

TODD: Shame?

LOVETT:

Seems an awful waste...

Such a nice, plump frame

Wot's 'is name has...

Had...

Has!

Nor it can't be traced...

Bus'ness needs a lift,

Debts to be erased...

Think of it as thrift,

As a gift,

If you get my drift!

No?

Seems an awful waste...

I mean, with the price of meat

What it is,

When you get it,

If you get it...

TODD: HAH!

LOVETT:

Good, you got it!

Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!

Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast!

And a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most!

And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!

[simultaneously]

TODD:

Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion

LOVETT:

Well, it does seem a waste...

TODD:

Eminently practical

And yet appropriate as always!

LOVETT:

It's an idea...

TODD:

Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived

Without you all these years, I'll never know!

How delectable!

Also undetectable!

LOVETT:

Think about it!

Lots of other gentlemen'll

Soon be comin' for a shave,

Won't they?

Think of

All them

Pies!

TODD:

How choice!

How

Rare!

TODD:

For what's the sound of the world out there?

LOVETT:

What, Mr. Todd?

What, Mr. Todd?

What is that sound?

TODD:

Those crunching noises pervading the air!

LOVETT:

Yes, Mr. Todd!

Yes, Mr. Todd!

Yes, all around!

TODD:

It's man devouring man, my dear!

BOTH:

And [LOVETT: Then] who are we to deny it in here?

TODD: (spoken) These are desperate times,

Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for!

LOVETT: Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven!

TODD: What is that?

LOVETT:

It's priest. Have a little priest.

TODD:

Is it really good?

LOVETT:

Sir, it's too good, at least!

Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,

So it's pretty fresh.

TODD:

Awful lot of fat.

LOVETT:

Only where it sat.

TODD:

Haven't you got poet, or something like that?

LOVETT:

No, y'see, the trouble with poet is

'Ow do you know it's deceased?

Try the priest!

TODD: (spoken) Heavenly!

Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps,

but then again, not as bland as curate, either!

LOVETT:

And good for business, too -- always leaves you wantin' more!

Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays!

Lawyer's rather nice.

TODD:

If it's for a price.

LOVETT:

Order something else, though, to follow,

Since no one should swallow it twice!

TODD:

Anything that's lean.

LOVETT:

Well, then, if you're British and loyal,

You might enjoy Royal Marine!

Anyway, it's clean.

Though of course, it tastes of wherever it's been!

TODD:

Is that squire,

On the fire?

LOVETT:

Mercy no, sir, look closer,

You'll notice it's grocer!

TODD:

Looks thicker,

More like vicar!

LOVETT:

No, it has to be grocer --

It's green!

TODD:

The history of the world, my love --

LOVETT:

Save a lot of graves,

Do a lot of relatives favors!

TODD:

Is those below serving those up above!

LOVETT:

Ev'rybody shaves,

So there should be plenty of flavors!

TODD:

How gratifying for once to know

BOTH:

That those above will serve those down below!

LOVETT: (spoken) Now let's see, here... We've got tinker.

TODD: Something... pinker.

LOVETT: Tailor?

TODD: Paler.

LOVETT: Butler?

TODD: Subtler.

LOVETT: Potter?

TODD: Hotter.

LOVETT: Locksmith?

Lovely bit of clerk.

TODD:

Maybe for a lark.

LOVETT:

Then again there's sweep

If you want it cheap

And you like it dark!

Try the financier,

Peak of his career!

TODD:

That looks pretty rank.

LOVETT:

Well, he drank,

It's a bank

Cashier.

Never really sold.

Maybe it was old.

TODD:

Have you any Beadle?

LOVETT:

Next week, so I'm told!

Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and

Notice 'ow well it's been greased...

Stick to priest!

(spoken) Now then, this might be a little bit stringy,

but then of course it's... fiddle player!

TODD: No, this isn't fiddle player -- it's piccolo player!

LOVETT: 'Ow can you tell?

TODD: It's piping hot!

LOVETT: Then blow on it first!

TODD:

The history of the world, my sweet --

LOVETT:

Oh, Mr. Todd,

Ooh, Mr. Todd,

What does it tell?

TODD:

Is who gets eaten, and who gets to eat!

LOVETT:

And, Mr. Todd,

Too, Mr. Todd,

Who gets to sell!

TODD:

But fortunately, it's also clear

BOTH:

That [L: But] ev'rybody goes down well with beer!

LOVETT: (spoken)

Since marine doesn't appeal to you, 'ow about... rear admiral?

TODD: Too salty. I prefer general.

LOVETT: With, or without his privates? "With" is extra.

TODD: What is that?

LOVETT:

It's fop.

Finest in the shop.

And we have some shepherd's pie peppered

With actual shepherd on top!

And I've just begun --

Here's the politician, so oily

It's served with a doily,

Have one!

TODD:

Put it on a bun.

Well, you never know if it's going to run!

LOVETT:

Try the friar,

Fried, it's drier!

TODD:

No, the clergy is really

Too coarse and too mealy!

LOVETT:

Then actor,

That's compacter!

TODD:

Yes, and always arrives overdone!

I'll come again when you have JUDGE on the menu!

LOVETT: (spoken) Wait! True, we don't have judge yet,

but we've got something you might fancy even better.

TODD: What's that?

LOVETT: Executioner!

TODD:

Have charity towards the world, my pet!

LOVETT:

Yes, yes, I know, my love!

TODD:

We'll take the customers that we can get!

LOVETT:

High-born and low, my love!

TODD:

We'll not discriminate great from small!

No, we'll serve anyone,

Meaning anyone,

BOTH:

And to anyone

At all!

Defying Gravity

From Wicked

GLINDA:

(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for

once, instead of flying off the handle!

(sung) I hope you're happy!

I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy how you

Hurt your cause forever

I hope you think you're clever!

ELPHABA:

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy, too

I hope you're proud how you

Would grovel in submission

To feed your own ambition

BOTH:

So though I can't imagine how

I hope you're happy right now

GLINDA:

(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:

(sung) You can still be with the Wizard

What you've worked and waited for

You can have all you ever wanted:

ELPHABA:

(spoken) I know:

(sung) But I don't want it -

No - I can't want it

Anymore

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you can't pull me down!

GLINDA:

Can't I make you understand?

You're having delusions of grandeur

ELPHABA:

I'm through accepting limits

'Cuz someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try, I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

And you can't pull me down

(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could

do together.

(sung) Unlimited

Together we're unlimited

Together we'll be the greatest team

There's ever been

Glinda -

Dreams, the way we planned 'em

GLIND

If we work in tandem

BOTH:

There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I

Defying gravity

With you and I

Defying gravity

ELPHABA:

They'll never bring us down!

(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA:

I hope you're happy

Now that you're choosing this

ELPHABA:

(spoken) You too

(sung) I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH:

I really hope you get it

And you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end

I hope you're happy, my friend

ELPHABA:

So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky!

As someone told me lately:

"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"

And if I'm flying solo

At least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me

Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am

Defying gravity

I'm flying high

Defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown

And nobody in all of Oz

No Wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down!

GLINDA:

I hope you're happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ:

Look at her, she's wicked!

Get her!

ELPHABA:

Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ:

No one mourns the wicked

So we've got to bring her

ELPHABA:

Ahhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ:

Down!

[Mara 29]

A few I have been meaning to post:

Heard this one on "Emeril Live" a few weeks ago...

Raul Midon -- Pick Somebody Up

I don't wanna be nobody's fool

And I don't wanna take no one to school

I just wanna pick somebody up

I don't wanna tell you how I live

I just wanna give what I have to give

Maybe it'll pick somebody up

Smiling faces, warm embraces

Love is walking hand in hand

Revolution is no solution

To the tragedy of men, here's my plan

Hope I can: pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Honey when you give your love to me

Together we can make some history

Maybe it'll pick somebody up

Go along and get along and sell my soul

That'a ain't a way this pappa rolls

When a little ? picks somebody up

Take a stranger, out of danger

Help someone to understand

That revolution is no solution

To the tragedy of men, here's my plan

Hope I can: pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Why do you do it, why do you do it

Why do you do it, why do you do it

Some people ask me: why are you're doing this thing

How come you're playing music for people

Getting up early in the morning just to catch a plane, a bus or a train

Going insane, fanning a flame, so then why-

Is it for love? Is it for self-expression?

Is it to combat depression? Is it to make people happy?

I mean, I love it

I can hear it

I can listen when somebody smiles at me

When I'm happy, when I'm sad

When I'm surly, and when I'm glad

When that sunshine turns to rain

And I just can't stand the pain

And I feel I'm going insane

Till I get back home again

When I think I can't compete

And I just can't find the beat

When I'm old, when I'm young

When my final saw this song

I shall hope we have some fun

Spreading love to everyone

So before I tip my cup

I just wanna pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Randy Travis -- Forever and Ever Amen

You may think that i'm talking foolish

You've heard that i'm wild and free

You may wonder how I can promise you now

This love that i'm feeling for you will always be

Your not this time that i'm killing

I'm no longer one of those guys

As sure as I live this love that i give

I'm gonna be yours till the day that i die, oh baby

I'm gonna love you, forever and ever, forever and ever, amen

As long as old men sit and talk about the weather

as long as old women sit and talk about old men

If you wonder how long i'll be faithful

I'll be happy to tell you again

I'm gonna love you, forever and ever, forever and ever, amen

They say that time takes its toll on the body

Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey

But honey, I dont care, i'm not in love with your hair

and if it all fell out, well i'd love you anyway

They say that time can play tricks on a memory

and people forget things that they knew

But its easy to see, its happening to me

I've already forgotten every woman but you, oh baby

I'm gonna love you, forever and ever, forever and ever, amen

As long as old men sit and talk about the weather

as long as old women sit and talk about old men

If you wonder how long i'll be faithful

I'll be happy to tell you again

I'm gonna love you, forever and ever, forever and ever, amen

Just listen to how this song ends,

I'm gonna love you, forever and ever, forever and ever,

forever and ever, forever and ever, amen

Paul Westerberg -- Dyslexic Heart

Na nanana na nanana na na

Na na na na nana etc.

Ah ah ah...

You shoot me glances and they're so hard to read

I misconstrue what you mean

Slip me a napkin and now that you start

Is this your name or a doctor's eye chart?

I try and comprehend you but I got a dyslexic heart

I ain't dying to offend you, I got a dyslexic heart

Thanks for the book, now my table is ready

Is this a library or bar?

Between the covers I thought you were ready

A half-angel, half-tart

Do I read you correctly, lead me directly

Help me with this part

Do I hate you? do I date you?

Do I got a dyslexic heart?

You keep swayin'... what are you sayin'?

Thinking 'bout stayin'?

Or are you just playing, making passes

Well, my heart could use some glasses

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

for evil manager lady:

Linkin Park

Hit the Floor

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me

Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy

Too many times that I?ve held on when I needed to push away

Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to say

Too many things that you've said about me when I?m not around

You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down

But I?ve had too many standoffs with you it?s about as much as I can stand

So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

(One minute you're on top)

The next you're not watch it drop

(Making your heart stop)

Just before you hit the floor

(One minute you're on top)

Next you're not missed your shot

(Making you're heart stop)

You think you've won

(And then it's all gone)

So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies

So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside

So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long

All I know is that all I want is to feel like I?m not stepped on

There are so many things you say that make me feel you've crossed the line

What goes up will surely fall and I?m counting down the time

Cause I?ve had so many standoffs with you it?s about as much as I can stand

So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

(One minute you're on top)

The next you're not watch it drop

(Making your heart stop)

Just before you hit the floor

(One minute you're on top)

Next you're not missed your shot

(Making you're heart stop)

You think you've won

(And then it's all gone)

(And then it?s all gone)

(And then it's all gone)

(And then it?s all gone)

(Now it?s all gone)

I know I?ll never trust a single thing you say

You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway

And all the lies have got you floating up above us all

But what goes up has got to fall

(One minute you're on top)

The next you're not watch it drop

(Making your heart stop)

Just before you hit the floor

(One minute you're on top)

Next you're not missed your shot

(Making you're heart stop)

You think you've won

(And then it's all gone)

(And then it?s all gone)

(And then it's all gone)

(And then it?s all gone)

(Now it?s all gone)

Crawling In The Dark

Hoobastank

I will dedicate

And sacrifice my everything for just a second?s worth

Of how my story?s ending

And I wish I could know if the directions that I take

And all the choices that I make won?t end up all for nothing

Show me what it?s for

Make me understand it

I?ve been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Is there something more than what I?ve been handed?

I?ve been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Help me carry on

Assure me it?s ok to use my heart and not my eyes

To navigate the darkness

Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?

Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

Show me what it?s for

Make me understand it

I?ve been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Is there something more than what I?ve been handed?

I?ve been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

So when and how will I know?

How much further do I have to go?

How much longer until I finally know?

Because I?m looking and I just can?t see what?s in front of me

In front of me

Show me what it?s for

Make me understand it

I?ve been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Is there something more than what I?ve been handed?

I?ve been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Meat Loaf - "I Would Do Anything For Love"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GNhdQRbXhc

And I would do anything for love

I'd run right into hell and back

I would do anything for love

I'll never lie to you and that's a fact

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now--

Oh no--no way--

I would do anything for love

But I won't do that

I won't do that

Anything for love

I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love

But I won't do that

I won't do that

Some days it don't come easy

Some days it don't come hard

Some days it don't come at all

and these are the days that never end

Maybe I'm crazy

But it's crazy and it's true

I know you can save me

No one else can save me but you

As long as the planets are turning

As long as the stars are burning

As long as your dreams are comming true--

You better believe it!--

That I would to anything for love

And I'll be there until the final act--

I would do anything for love!

And I'll take a vow and seal a pact--

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way--

Tonight--

I would do anything for love!

I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love

But I won't do that

I won't do that...

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of

But I just won't do that...

Somedays I pray for silence

Somedays I pray for sould

Somedays I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock'N Roll

Some night I lose the feeling

Some nights I lose control

Some night I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

Maybe I'm lonely

And that's all I'm qualified to be

There's just one and only

The one and only promise I can keep

As long as the wheels are turning

As long as the fires are burning

As long as your prayers are coming true--

You better believe it--!

That I would do anything for love!

And you know it's true and that's a face

I would do anything for love!

And there'll never be no turning back--

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you

So long--

So long--

I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love

But I won't do that

I won't do that

I would do anything for love

Anything you've been dreaming of

But I won't do that...

But I'll never stop dreaming of you

Every night of my life--

No way--

I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love

But I won't do that

I won't do that!

Girl:

Will you raise me up?

Will you help me down?

Will you get me right out if this Godforsaken town?

Will you make it all a little less cold?

Boy:

I can do that!

I can do that!

Girl:

Will you hold me sacred?

Will you hold me tight?

Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?

Can you make it all a little less old?

Boy:

I can do that!

I can do that!

Girl:

Will you make me some magic

With your own two hands?

Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?

Can you give me something I can take home?

Boy:

I can do that!

I can do that!

Girl:

Will you cater to every fantasy I got?

Will ya hose me down with holy water--if I get to hot--?

Will ya take me to places I've never known?

Boy:

I can do that!

I can do that!

Girl:

After a while you'll forget everything

It was a brief interlude

And a midsummer night's fling

And you'll see that it's time to move on

Boy:

I won't do that!

I won't do that!

"Perfect Insanity"

Disturbed

Album: Indestructable (2008. Note: This song was first written over 10 years ago when the band was playing bar gigs)

Verse One

Come inside

And be afraid

Of this impressive

Mess I've made.

If you take a look

Now you will find

I have thrown

Away my vice

Done away

With paradise,

See what's going on

Inside my mind?

Please let me out

Please let me out

Please let ME!

Chorus

Branded like an animal

I can still feel them burning

In my mind.

I do believe,

That you made your message clear.

[i think I'm losing my mind,

I think I'm losing my mind]

Never been enough to really know

That I feel.

Leaving me with images

I know are not real,

Are those

Words of condemnation

That I hear?

[i think I'm losing my mind,

I think I'm losing my mind]

Verse Two

Come inside

Now I implore,

Do you think

You can restore

Crucial pieces missing

From my brain?

What seems

To be the matter dear?

Why do you cry

And shake with fear?

I only have the best

Of me insane.

Please let me out

Please let me out

Please let ME!

Chorus

Branded like an animal,

I can still feel them burning

In my mind.

I do believe

That you made your message clear.

[i think I'm losing my mind,

I think I'm losing my mind]

Never been enough to really know

That I feel.

Leaving me with images

I know are not real.

Are those

Words of condemnation

That I hear?

[i think I'm losing my mind,

I think I'm losing my mind.]

Bridge

Don't know how much I can take.

Secret thoughts

Inside me wake.

I've lost what was within me

Oh sweet insanity.

Don't know how much I can take.

Secret thoughts

Inside me wake.

I've lost what was within me

Oh sweet insanity...

Hook

Now I try again to find

The thing that was my mind.

The only other sign

Is that I've lost my mind.

I try again to find

The thing that was my mind.

Behold the other side

Cause then I've lost my mind

Outro

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've LOST my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind

I've lost my MIND!

Goo Goo Dolls - "Name"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ice7NydF7RM

And even though the moment passed me by

I still can't turn away

'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose

Got tossed along the way

And letters that you never meant to send

Get lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans

That never knew their names

We don't belong to no one

That's a shame

But if you could hide beside me

Maybe for a while

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em' your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose

The past is never far

Did you lose yourself somewhere out there

Did you get to be a star

And don't it make you sad to know that life

Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast

And now there's nothing to believe

Reruns all become our history

A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em' your name

I won't tell em' your name

Mmm, mmm, mmm,

I won't tell em' your name... Ow!

I think about you all the time

But I don't need the same

It's lonely where you are come back down,

And I won't tell em your name

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

i love the Goo Goo Dolls

Black Balloon

Goo Goo Dolls

Baby's black balloon makes her fly

I almost fell into that hole in your life

And you're not thinking about tomorrow

'Cause you were the same as me

But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you

How could I have been the one

I saw the world spin beneath you

And scatter like ice from the spoon

That was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

Or are you someone's prayer

You know the lies they always told you

And the love you never knew

What's the things they never showed you

That swallowed the light from the sun

Inside your room

Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I'll go on to bring you home

All because I'm

All because I'm

And I'll become

What you became to me

I haven't really been that interested in the Goo Goo Dolls, but I must say "Name" has excellent lyrics.

"Even Flow" by Pearl Jam

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again

Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah

Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah

Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies

Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away

Someday yet, he'll begin his life again

Life again, life again...

Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah

Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything

Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way

Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies

Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away

Someday yet, he'll begin his life again

Whispering hands, gently lead him away

Him away, him away...

Yeah!

Woo...ah yeah...ewok it up...

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies

Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away

Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah

Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away

Him away, him away...

Yeah!

Woo...uh huh...yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...

It's Not My Time

Three Doors Down

Looking back at the beginning of this

And how life was

Just you and me and love and all of our friends

Living life like an ocean

Now the currents slowly pulling me down

It's getting harder to breath

It won't be too long and I'll be going under

Can you save me from this

('Cause) It's not my time,

I'm not going

There's a fear in me

It's not showing

This could be the end of me

And everything I know

Oh, I won't go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made

And the dreams that we had

I'm in a world that tries to take them away

Oh, but I'm taking them back

All this time I've just been to blind to understand

What should matter to me

My friend, this life we live

Is not what we have, it's what we believe

(And) It's not my time

I'm not going

There's a fear in me

It's not showing

This could be the end of me

And everything I know

But, It's not my time

I'm not going

There's a fear in me

Now I know that

This could be the end of me

And everything I know

Oh, I won't go

I won't go

There might be more than you believe

(There might be more than you believe)

There might be more than you can see

But, It's not my time

I'm not going

There's a fear in me

It's not showing

This could be the end of me

And everything I know

But, It's not my time

I'm not going

There's a will in me

Now it's gonna show

This could be the end of me

And everything I know, oh

There might be more than you believe

(There might be more than you believe)

There might be more than you can see

And I won't go

No I won't go down (yeahh)

Dead Man's Ballet, by Sixx: AM

(Absolutely gorgeous but depressing song from an excellent but depressing CD!!!)

Oh no, how could this happen to

Such an amazing young boy

I had my whole life ahead of me--

Oh God, how could you have let this

Happen to such a lovely young child

I was their only son and I tried,

Tried, tried--

[spoken:]

Come on,

Come on get out of the way

Get out of the way man

You're going to have to let go of his arm

You have to let go sir

We've got about two minutes here

We've got about two minutes and we're going to lose him

Yeah, you, you miserable father

The one who ignored me for half of my life

Now I, I can't even look at you

Why? Why? Why?

Don't abandon me now

I don't want to die!

You can lead him to the ambulance

But you cannot make him live

No, you cannot make me live!

You can lead him to the ambulance

Lead me home!

But you cannot make him live

Would, could I have done differently

You never said there was anything wrong

Now the drugs, they give me encouragement

Why? Why? Why?

Oh God, tell me I'll make it

I'll give you my blood if that's all you need

Just don't tell me that I'm gonna die,

Die, die!

Don't abandon me now

I don't want to die

Alone...

You can lead him to the ambulance

But you cannot make him live

No you cannot make me live!

You can lead him to the ambulance

Why can't we celebrate? Lead me home!

But you cannot make him live

"Bull in the Heather" by Sonic Youth

10, 20, 30, 40

Tell me that you wanna hold me

Tell me that you wanna bore me

Tell me that you gotta show me

Tell me that you need to slowly

Tell me that your burning for me

Tell me that you can't afford me

Time to tell your dirty story

Time for turning over and over

Time for turning four leaf clover

Betting on the bull in the heather...

10, 20, 30, 40

Tell me that you wanna scold me

Tell me that you a-dore me

Tell me that you're famous for me

Tell me that yr gonna score me

Tell me that you gotta show me

Tell me that you need to sorely

Time to tell yr love story

Time for turning over and over

Time for turning four leaf clover

Betting on the bull in the heather...
