It must be love that whispers in my ear
It must be love that we keep trying to hear
Cuz I imagined this kind of wonderful choice
I imagine you hear the very same voice
When I speak to you
You say thats just my imagination

Oh no, no, no
It must be love
It must be love

Perhaps one girl who was moving in a fine line
Finds one boy in back
That she can always stand behind
And its you and me
Cuz thats where we want to be
Oh, it must be love,
It must be love

People look through everything they see
Cuz theres so many other things to be
I have seen you walking in the rain
I wanted to know why you were crying
I wanna fix whats wrong...

It must be love the sailor sails for
Must be love that drives a bottle to the bottom of the ocean floor
Because I imagine all kinds of wonderful water
I would have you there wherever Ill go
Way from the seventh sea,
He brings the bottle back to me
Oh, it must be love
Oh, it must be love
People look through evervthing thev see
Theres so many other things to be
I have seen you walking in the rain
I want to know whv vou were crying
Baby, let me fix whats wrong...

It must be love that fathoms the moonlight
Must be love that shallows
The deepest part of the night
So you can show them with vour eye
The things that make them cry,
Because that must be love
It must be love...
And the way you are
Must be love
And the things vou feel
Oh, it must be love,
Oh, it must be love
Must be love

you're welcome new mexico! ats one of my favorites. :biggrin:


so is this:


Theres something in the way he moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If Im feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
he always seems to make me change my mind.

and I feel fine anytime he's around me now,
he's around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that hes been with me now,
And hes been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
and I feel fine.

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- he has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:

It isnt what hes got to say
Or how he thinks or where hes been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
he says them mostly just to calm me down.


and I feel fine anytime hes around me now,
hes around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that hes been with me now,
And hes been with me now
such a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine.

Breathless
texas
white on blonde



All these posers keep you awake
I guess Im just too tired to sleep
And God only knows Im too lost to cry
Kissing last has kept me true

Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill keep (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill keep (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

He hates so much its love he says
Inside his dark I need to smile
He shouts so loud I never hear
Thats why the truths always abused

As I slip into unconsciousness
I never felt so much to blame
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill keep (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill keep (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

As I slip into unconsciousness
I never felt so much to blame
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill keep (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill keep (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill keep (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

Ill fall (another day another night)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

Ill fall (another day another night)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
...and on the last day we feasted, like carrion, on her dreams.

i have no shame do i. hee.

Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel youre on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see youre doing fine

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For its no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it wont change my mind
Ill feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it wont change my feelings
Ill feel the same
About you

What I am is what you want of me
Yeh, now that Im not there
I took the tables away from you
Its turned that I dont care

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For its no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it wont change my mind
Ill feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it wont change my feelings
Ill feel the same
About you

Well, you can say what you want
But that wont change my mind
Ill feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But that wont change my feelings
Ill feel the same
About you

Ive said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause Ive closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeh

Well, you can say what you want
But it wont change my mind
Ill feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it wont change my feelings
Ill feel the same
About you

Now that I've met you
would you object to
never seeing each other again
cause I can't afford to
climb aboard you
no one's got that much ego to spend

So don't work your stuff
because I've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
deathly
definitely

Cause I'm just a problem
for you to solve and
watch dissolve in the heat of your charm
but what will you do when
you run it through and
you can't get me back on the farm

So don't work your stuff
because I've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
deathly
definitely

You're on your honor
cause I'm a goner
and you haven't even begun
so do me a favor
if I should waver
be my savior
and get out the gun

Just don't work your stuff
because I've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
deathly
definitely

6 am day after christmas
I throw some clothes on in The dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping and
I am numb
Up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down
To charlotte
Theyre not home to find us Out
And we drive
Now that I have founds someone
Im feeling more alone
Than I ever have before


Shes a brick and Im drowning Slowly
Off the coast and Im headed Nowhere
Shes a brick and Im drowning
Slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her Flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Cant you see
Its not me youre dying for
Now shes feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son its time
To tell the truth
And she broke down and I broke Down
cause I was tired of lying
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment were alone
Shes alone
And Im alone
Now I know it


Why do I like such depressing music???!!

I was out on my own in a great big world
Thought I'd seen it all
Then along comes a woman - a fantasy
And I took the fall
I was chasing a dream, I was fancy free
I was so naive
You were all wrapped up in a mystery
You looked good to me
And I needed love I wanted it desperately
But oh, real love, you never came to me
CHORUS:
I was lost in your world of fantasy
I was caught in your game of make-believe
I was lost in your world of fantasy
Lost in your world of fantasy
Look what you've done to me
You were drawin' me in to a spider's web
With your hungry eyes
I was under your power I was in your spell
I was hypnotized
And oh sweet love: you wore such a strange disguise
So neat love: the way I fell for your lies
CHORUS
All the times you lied
And all the times I cried
I'm never gonna be the same again
Lost in your world of fantasy
Look what you've done to me

Sarah McLachlan - Angel
(for those looking ... and for those that have found ...
the arms of an angel)

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
He/She who dies with the most toys wins! Wait a minute ... I can't die!!!

Well, she's walking through the clouds
with a circus mind
that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about...

Riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
with a thousand smiles
she gives to me free

It's alright, she says,
it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
anything

Fly on, little wing

Sweeter Music
scott robinson


your beauty stung me like a blade
i bled red roses from a thorny briar
at once the beast within was slain
as my flesh lost to desire
burning castles and great kingdoms down
smoke rolling straight up to God
poppies blooming on the fertile battleground
crushed where lovers and foot soldiers trod.

flowing down the staircase in a gossamer dress
a spider's web spun on the breeze
you put my passion to the test
you brought my false pride to its knees
a heavy sadness hung my selfish heart
as if my saviour from the tree
my faithful tomb was safe and dark
i had no choice, you resurrected me

and my bleak vision of the future
from this nightmare i did wake
i could see to the horizon
i could see a brand new day

and though i know that i'm not brave
at least i thought i'd fight for what was mine
so easily you won the day
with words of peace both soft and kind
there is nothing that i wanted more
on the day when first we met
never heard i a sweeter chord
nor heard i sweeter music yet
sweeter music.

Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don't see it coming, now
you can't stop yourself.
Now you're out there swimming...
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you... Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

And now you're out there spinning...
And now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

In the silence,
all your secrets, will
raise their worried heads.
Well, you can pin yourself back together,
to who you thought you were.
Now you're out there livin'...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

In the deep...

Now you're out there spinning...
Now you're out there swimming...
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep...

A moment of steel
A dry-eyed house
Did he say goodbye to you
Or did you kick him out
I know youre not afraid
To go alone
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone

Now whatcha gonna do
When the planet shifts
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna slit your wrists
Bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today

Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry love, cry love

The trust of a woman in his hand
But he was a little boy, not a man
You loved him stronger than he could feel
Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now whatcha gonna do
With the booze and the blush
Whatcha gonna do
When theres no rush
Cop a little misery
At the corner store
Well one day that train of pain wont stop no more

Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry love, cry love

Throwning up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love
Well whats it for?
The heart will remember
The burning fire
The next time you feel the flame
Of desire

Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry love, cry love

I'm not in love, so don't forget it.
It's just a silly phase I'm going through.
And just because I call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...
I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me.
So if I call you, don't make a fuss -
Don't tell your friends about the two of us.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

I keep your picture upon the wall.
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.
So don't you ask me to give it back.
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me.
Ooh, you'll wait a long time.
I'm not in love, I'm not in love...

ooo! 10cc! good one Sea! :D


I wish I was a millionire
I'd play rock music and grow long hair
Tell you boys
I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce

Pretty people come to me
I'd give 'em all the third degree
I'd give 'em satin sheets
And keep 'em off the streets.....
Hallaleulah - What's it to ya'?
Praise the Lord and pass the mescaline
Praise Jehovah
And He'll come over
As soon as you see me
boogie-woogie across the silver screen.....

I hang 'em high I hang 'em low
I put 'em on the ceilings wherever I go
And they swing all the night
From the rafter light

Hallaleulah - I'm gonna sock it to ya
You got your coffee, me, I've got my Spanish tea
Praise Jehovah - Maybe He'll come over
As soon as you see me playin' my calliope

I wish I was a millionaire
I'd play rock music and grow long hair
Tell you boys - I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce
Tell you boys - I'd buy a new Rolls-Royce

Luci! Cry Love is a great one! I saw he and Sonny Landreth perform that one in concert! Like wow!


Tom Petty - Magnolia

From a table across the room
She was signaling me with her eyes
I walked over to be introduced
I said hello, she just smiled
And said I know a place not too far from here
We could get away for awhile
Yeah, that's when she kissed me and told me her name
I never did tell her mine

Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet
Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia

Well her lips were as warm
As that wet southern night
Her eyes were as black as the sky
And I wondered aloud
Just what I done right
As I lay there with her by my side
Then she took hold of my hand As she looked up at me
And said now I must tell you goodbye
And there in the moonlight
As I watched her leave
I felt a chill down inside

Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet
Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia
"I use my gun whenever kindness fails"

way over yonder
carole king


Way over yonder is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter from hunger and cold
And the sweet tasting good life is easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden - shining rigth down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me - worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind
Way over yonder is a place I have seen
In a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream
May be tomorrow I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day
And the sweet tasting good life is so easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound

Do you not hear me anymore
I know its not your thing
To care
I know its cool to be so bored
But it sucks me in when youre aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
I guess its cool to be alone


Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who
Could care less
Every day you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was
That way

And you think rockford files
Is cool
But there are some things
That you would change
If it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece
Watch the rockford files and
Call to see if paul can score
Some weed
Will you never rest
Fighting the battle
Of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
Thats alright I guess

Ive got this great idea
Why dont we pitch into the
Franklin fucking mint
Fine pewter portraits of
General apathy and major boredom singing. . .
Whatever and ever amen.
Oh well maybe not try
Again
This should cheer you up
For sure
See Ive got your old i.d.
And youre all dressed up like
The cure

Will you never rest
Fighting the battle
Of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
Youre my hero I confess
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well...

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older, too
Well I'm getting older too

So, take this love and take it down
Year and if you climb a mountain and ya turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe the landslide will bring you down

Ah...the stylings of Nicks and Buckingham.

Here's one by Dylan...The Changing of the Guards...take note of the 8th verse...makes me think of Covenant and his relationship to the Lords EVERY time!


Sixteen years,
Sixteen banners united over the field
Where the good shepherd grieves.
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.

Fortune calls.
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.

The cold-blooded moon.
The captain waits above the celebration
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.

They shaved her head.
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

I stumbled to my feet.
I rode past destruction in the ditches
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.

The palace of mirrors
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.

She wakes him up
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.

Gentlemen, he said,
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.

Peace will come
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
"I use my gun whenever kindness fails"
