yes it is, danlo...all there.


sirens ring shots ring out
a stranger cries screams out loud
I had my world
strapped against my back
I held my hands
never knew how to act

and the same black line that was drawn on you
was drawn on me
and now it’s drawn me in
sixth avenue heartache

below me was a homeless man
i’m singin’ songs I knew complete
on the steps alone, his guitar in hand
it’s fifty years, stood where he stands

and the same black line that was drawn on you
was drawn on me
and now it’s drawn me in
sixth avenue heartache

now walkin’ home on those streets
the river winds move my feet
subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
they stood by me just like moonbeams

and the same black line that was drawn on you
was drawn on me
and now it’s drawn me in
sixth avenue heartache

look out the window down upon that street
and gone like a midnight was that man
but I see his six strings laid against that wall
and all his things they all look so small
i got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
just like me-just moved on

and the same black line that was drawn on you
was drawn on me
and now it’s drawn me in
sixth avenue heartache

Kristin Hersh > A Loon

Some store
I’m not going back there anymore
Wandered in
Don’t think I’ll do that again
No I don’t think I’ll do that again

I swear
Look at me cross-eyed and I don’t know what to do
No I don’t know what to do
Crazy loon

There’s a room in his pallet
There’s a pillow for his head
Sees an offshoot in his bottle
When he wants to see me dead
Heirlooms a loon
Never thought I’d see that silly grin
Never thought I’d see that fool again
Never thought I’d love that lunatic

Nothing left to dance around
What a hero
What a black and blue bird
What a loon, a loon
What a loon, a loon

• One Headlight - The Wallflowers
  
  So long ago, I don't remember when
  That's when they say I lost my only friend
  Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
  As I listened through the cemetery trees
  
  I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
  The long broken arm of human law
  Now it always seemed such a waste
  She always had a pretty face
  So I wondered how she hung around this place
  
  Hey, come on try a little
  Nothing is forever
  There's got to be something better than
  In the middle
  But me & Cinderella
  We put it all together
  We can drive it home
  With one headlight
  
  
  
  She said it's cold
  It feels like Independence Day
  And I can't break away from this parade
  But there's got to be an opening
  Somewhere here in front of me
  Through this maze of ugliness and greed
  And I seen the sun up ahead
  At the county line bridge
  Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
  We'll run until she's out of breath
  She ran until there's nothin' left
  She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
  
  Hey, come on try a little
  Nothing is forever
  There's got to be something better than
  In the middle
  But me & Cinderella
  We put it all together
  We can drive it home
  With one headlight
  
  Well this place is old
  It feels just like a beat up truck
  I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
  Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
  This place is always such a mess
  Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
  I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
  Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
  But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
  I think her death it must be killin' me
  
  Hey, come on try a little
  Nothing is forever
  There's got to be something better than
  In the middle
  But me & Cinderella
  We put it all together
  We can drive it home
  With one headlight

The Birds of St. Marks
jackson browne


Oh how sad they sound the songs the queen must sing of dying
A prisoner upon her throne, the melancholy sighing
If she could see her mirror now
She would be free of those who bow
and scrape the ground beneath her feet

Silently she walks among her dying midnight roses
Watches as each moment goes that never really knows us
And so it seems she doesn't care
If she has dreams of no one there
Within the shadows of her room

But all my frozen words agree, and say it's time to
Call back all the birds I sent to
Fly behind her castle walls,
and I'm weary of the nights I've seen
Inside these empty halls

Wooden lady turn and turn among my weary secrets
And wave within the hours past and other empty pockets
Maybe we've found what we have lost
When we've unwound so many crossed entangling
Misunderstandings; but

All my frozen words agree and say it's time to
Call back all the birds I sent to
Fly behind her castle walls, and I'm
Weary of the nights I've seen
Inside these empty walls

[Marv]

Oh very young by cat stevens

Oh very young what will leave us is time. Your only dancing on this earth for a short while. And though your dreams may toss and turn you now. They will vanish away like your Dad's best jeans, demin blue, fading up to the sky. And though you want to last forever you know we never will, you know we never will. And that just makes the good bye harder still.

Oh very young what will leave us is time. There'll never be a better chance to change your mind. And if you want this world to see better days. Then carry the words I will love will you? when you ride the great white bird into heaven. And though you want to last forever you know you never will, you know you never will. And the good bye makes the journey harder still.

OH, I will love,will you? OH, ride the great white bird.

Oh very young what will leave us is time. Your only dancin on this earth for a short while.

Oh very young what will leave us is time.....

[The Laughing Man]

"The Battle Of Evermore"

Queen of light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morn - ing light.
The dark lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses’ thunder
Down in the valley blow,
I’m waiting for the angels of avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh,-------dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.



The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant’s face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the mornin’ light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back, bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes.

A Dream Goes on Forever-Todd Rundgren

A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, I've got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream

A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream

We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And you'll find no exception in me
But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
Over life's biggest tragedy

You're so long ago and so far away
But my dream lives on forever
I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream

You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream goes on forever
And how much I loved you you'll never know
'Til you join me within my dream

Album: Best Of Plumb
Title: Stranded


You know it only breaks my heart
To see you standing in the dark alone
Waiting there for me to come back

I'm too afraid to show

If it's coming over you
Like it's coming over me
I'm crashing like a tidal wave
That drags me out to the sea
And I wanna be with you
And you wanna be with me
I'm crashing like a tidal wave
And I don't wanna be
Stranded, stranded, stranded, stranded

I can only take so much
These tears are turning me to rust
I know you're waiting there for me to
come back

I'm to afraid to show

I miss you, I need you
Without you, I'm stranded
I love you so come back

I'm not afraid to show

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why."

Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"
He laid his hand then on top of her head
And he bowed her down to the ground.

"Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange."

But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on

"Chasing A Bee"

Those seducers [4x]
bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks of mellow seducers, fine [find?] eager seekers, deep deef down
beautiful lines from above and we're all a-glow
raise her head and things get warm, hold on to its leg, before it flies away
sun lit walks, I feel no harm, my primitive words match my primitive heart [hide?]

it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

[chorus] and of course it don't mind, chasing a bee inside a jar [x2]

Then like sheep led to sacrifial slaughter, they don't mind, but they oughta, all the time (they oughta)
their pretty shells are so inviting, well protected
their eyes are rivers, they give me shivers

[chorus]

it's not time for the real life [live?] sign, it's not time for these fears of mine [x2]
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back

it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam [x2]

it's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back
i feel no harm, i feel no harm, ...feel no harm

[chorus]

its not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

what once was lost will never be found, keep spinning in circles until you break new ground

Paranoid Android
radiohead


Please could you stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest?
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that, what's that

When I am king you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that, what's that

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking squealing gucci little piggy

You don't remember, you don't remember, why don't you remember my name
Off with his head man, off with his head man
Why don't you remember my name?-- I guess he does

Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me
From a great height, from a great height, height
Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me
From a great height, from a great height, height

That's it sir, you're leaving,
the crackle of pig skin,
the dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
the panic, the vomit,
the panic, the vomit
God loves his children,
God loves his children, yeah

[Sorus]

Distant earthrise long ago
Lingers at the borders of our minds
Mysteries spinning in the dark
In the frozen emptiness of time
We were lost and we never knew
Who we were, what we left behind
Living half lives we were blind
To the new frontiers that opened up our eyes

To find our minds were spinning
Souls entwined in a spiral dance
The ancient ways have found us again
To give us one last chance

Living in this place,
Staring into space we find
We might share the corners of our lives
Infinity runs deep,
Eternity that we can't keep
Melting through the frozen wastes of time

So we go and we'll not return
To navigate the seas of the Sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the Sun
So we go and we'll not return
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the Sun

We can't go on tomorrow
Living death by gravity
Couldn't stand it anymore,
We'll sail our ships to distant shores

Purple, gold and blue,
Living colors every hue
Flowers in the garden of the gods
No one can ever know
If you never saw them grow
But this darkness is really full of light

[solo]

Well beyond the Earth,
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
If God is throwing dice
And Einstein doesn't mind the chance
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Infinity runs deep,
Eternity that we can't keep
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls
Purple, blue and gold we find
To navigate the seas of the Sun
So we know who we are
Even in this frozen waste
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Living in this place,
Staring into space we find
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Well beyond the Earth
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
If Einstein's throwing dice,
And God he doesn't mind the chance
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Flowers of the soul
Purple blue and gold we find
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
And who we were before
Eternity that we can't keep
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls
Purple blue and gold we find

There've been times when I wander
And times when I don't
Concepts I'll ponder
And concepts I won't ever see
God isn't one of these
Former or latter
Which did you think I meant
It doesn't matter to me

Bug, It doesn't matter

(Don't need it)

Bug, It doesn't matter

(Don't need it)

Bug, it doesn't matter

(Thoughts faded)

Bug, it doesn't matter

(Overrated)

Gold in my hand
In a country pool
Standing and waving
The rain, wind on the runway
Spending or saving
Credit or debt
Which did you think I meant
Nothing I see can be taken from me

Can't Find My Way Home
steve winwood


Come down off your throne and leave your body alone - somebody must change
You are the reason I’ve been waiting so long - somebody holds the key
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone - somebody must change
You are the reason I’ve been waiting all these years - somebody holds the key
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home

[The Laughing Man]

• Spent the last year
  Rocky Mountain way
  Couldn't get much higher
  Out to pasture
  Think it's safe to say
  Time to open fire
  
  And we don't need the ladies
  Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
  'Cause the Rocky Mountain way
  Is better than the way we had.
  
  Well he's tellin' us this
  And he's tellin' us that
  Changes it ev'ry day
  Says it doesn't matter
  Bases are loaded
  And Casey's at bat
  Playin' it play by play
  Time to change the batter
  
  And we don't need the ladies
  Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
  'Cause the Rocky Mountain way
  Is better than the way we had.

Scorpions - Wind of Change


I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

[Loredoctor]

THAT SONG IS FANTASTIC.

[lucimay]

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street
in the morning

He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute

Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody's going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York Minute

Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute

And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool's advice
And take care of your own
One day they're here;
Next day they're gone

I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
"Baby, I've changed. Please come back."

What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there's somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe

In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
You can get out of the rain
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute

The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys by Traffic

If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys

If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this? Don't worry too much
It'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

If I gave you everything that I owned and asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride, and strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
The low spark of high-heeled boys
