The ground gives as you go
With all them secrets that you know
As if to give nothing away
Of the signals you obey
You're weightless as a child
Falling from above
Helpless to your size
Lonelier than God
Footsteps, empty room
As if a temple or a tomb
The bed gives where you lay
As if to give nothing away
Of the power you betray
You're weightless as a child
Falling from above
Helpless to your size
Lonelier than God
Lonelier than God
Falling from above
You're weightless as a child
helpless to your love
helpless to your love

REM: Carnival Of Sorts (Box Cars)

There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel.
Diminish, a carnival of sorts.
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel.
Stranger, stranger to these parts.

Gentlemen don't get caught, cages under cage. Gentlemen don't get caught,
Boxcars (are pulling) out of town. Boxcars (are pulling) out of town.
Boxcars (are pulling) out of town.

(repeat 1st verse and chorus)

Cages under, cages under, cages under cage.
Cages under, cages under, cages under cage.

(repeat chorus)

There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel.
Stranger, stranger to these parts.
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel.
Diminish, stranger.

(repeat chorus)

[The Laughing Man]

• I have climbed highest mountain
  I have run through the fields
  Only to be with you
  Only to be with you
  
  
  I have run
  I have crawled
  I have scaled these city walls
  These city walls
  Only to be with you
  
  
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
  
  
  I have kissed honey lips
  Felt the healing in her fingertips
  It burned like fire
  This burning desire
  
  
  I have spoke with the tongue of angels
  I have held the hand of a devil
  It was warm in the night
  I was cold as a stone
  
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
  
  
  
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
  
  
  I believe in the kingdom come
  Then all the colors will bleed into one
  Bleed into one
  Well yes I'm still running
  
  
  You broke the bonds and you
  Loosed the chains
  Carried the cross
  Of my shame
  Of my shame
  You know I believed it
  
  
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
  But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

The best thing to listen to first thing in the morning;

The air was more than human
the heat was more than hungry
the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
the bulls were running wild
becuase they're big and mean and sacred
the children were playing cricket with no shoes
the next morning we woke up
with a seven hour drive
there we were in stuck in Port Blaire
where boats break and children stare
there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
disembarking from the port
with no mistakes of ANY STORY
moving south the engine running smooth
officials were quite friendly
once we drowned them with our sweet talk
and bribed them with our cigarettes and booze
the next morning we woke up
with the sunrise to the right
moving back north to Port Blaire
where boats break and children stare
there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
yes and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven

[The Laughing Man]

oh stop...it's BONO, not jesus.

did I not say inspired by?

• You talk too much - George Thorogood
  
  You talk too much, you talk too much,
  I can't believe the things that you say everyday
  If you keep on talking baby,
  you know you're bound to drive me away
  
  Now you get on the telephone with your girlfriend,
  your conversation baby ain't got no end
  Yakety-yakety-yakety-yak all the time,
  you keep on talking baby drive me out of my mind
  You talk too much,
  I can't believe the things that you say everyday
  If you keep on talking baby,
  you know you're bound to drive me away
  
  Well I laid out in the afternoon I start to nappin',
  you walk into the room with them jaws a-flappin'
  You keep that motormouth moving morning, noon and night,
  you keep on talking baby make my head turn white
  You talk too much,
  I can't believe the things that you say everyday
  If you keep on talking baby,
  you know you're bound just to drive me away
  
  I think you're trying to put me through some kind of test,
  I'm begging you baby won't you give it a rest
  You talk about people that you don't even know,
  keep it up baby I'm gonna pick up and blow
  You talk too much,
  I can't believe the things that you say everyday
  If you keep on talking baby,
  you know you're bound to drive me away
  
  Don't get me wrong baby I don't mean to complain,
  but if you keep on talking you're gonna drive me insane
  You keep on talking all around the clock,
  I'm begging you baby won't you please stop
  You talk too much,
  I can't believe the things that you say everyday
  If you keep on talking baby,
  you know you're bound to drive me away

REM's version of Pale Blue Eyes

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep

[The Laughing Man]

The Bitch Is Back


Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Caribou



I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back

Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue

I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back

[Loric]

Solar Angels



Golden halos radiating higher
Diamond visions softly breathing fire
Sky processions we are watching you arrive

Silver crystals arching beams below
What light spirals lifting up to go
Glass formations solar angels spread their wings

Spectral gliders drifting in the air
Wheels of wonder floating everywhere
Draped in rainbows gently we ascend

[wayfriend]

It's number 'One' on the list of top lyrics

LONDON, England (AP) -- The Irish band U2 has given Britain its favorite song lyric, according to a survey released Monday.

The line "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" from the 1992 song "One" topped a poll conducted by music channel VH1.

Works for me.

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to else blame?

You say:
One love,
One life,
When it's one need
In the night.
One love,
We get to share it.
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it.

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without.

Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light.
We're one,
but we're not the same.
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other.

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got.
We're one,
But we're not the same.
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again.

You say
Love is a temple,
Love a higher law.
Love is a temple,
Love the higher law.
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl,
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt.

One love,
One blood,
One life,
You got to do what you should.
One life
With each other,
Sisters,
Brothers.
One life,
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other.

[Lord Mhoram]

The number two winner:

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

[lucimay]

Oh I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far
from here
All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing
in my hair
Sitting on my own not by myself, everybody's here with me
I don't need to touch your face to know, and I don't need to
use my eyes to see
I keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I always wake
up the same (or so)?
And keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I even wake up
again or something
Oh I'm on my way I know I am, but times there were when
I thought not
Bleeding half my soul in bad company, I thank the moon I
had the strength to stop
I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, only for that light I see
'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, that's gonna
be the only thing that's left of me
And if I make it to the waterside, will I even find me a boat
(or so)?
And if I make it to the waterside, I'll be sure to write you
note or something
Oh I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far
from here
All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing
in my hair
Oh life is like a maze of doors and they all open from the
side you're on
Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
You're going to wind up where you started from
You're going to wind up where you started from

[Marv]

In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
