They Don't Know

You've been around for such a long time now
Oh maybe I could leave you but I don't know how
And why should I be lonely every night
When I can be with you
Oh yes you make it right
And I don't listen to the guys who say
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away
'Cos they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love

I get a feeling when I look at you
Wherever you go now I wanna be there too
They say we're crazy but I just don't care
And if they keep on talking still they get nowhere
So I don't mind if they don't understand
When I look at you and you hold my hand
'Cos they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love

Why should it matter to us if they don't approve
We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose

Baby
There's no need for living in the past
Now I've found good loving gonna make it last
I tell the others don't bother me
'Cos when they look at you they don't see what I see
No I don't listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
But they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love

No I don't listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
But they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love


Walking Down Madison with Johnny Marr

Walking down Madison - I swear I never had a gun
No I never shot no-one - I was only having fun
Walking down Madison - swear I never had a gun
I was philosophizing some
Checking out the bums

See you give 'em your nickels, your pennies and dimes
But you can't give 'em hope in these mercenary times, oh no
And you feel real guilty about the coat on your back
And the sandwich you had, oh no

From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
Oh no it's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to

Walking down Madison - I swear I never had a gun
No I never shot no-one - wouldn't do it just for fun
Walking down Madison - trying to keep my head screwed on
I was philosophizing some
Checking out the nuns

When you get to the corner don't look at those freaks
Keep your head down low and stay quick on your feet, oh yeah
The beaming boy from Harlem with the airforce coat
The ones who died
The ones who tried
The ones that sit and gloat

From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
It's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to

Within every city and town there's a Madison
Frozen lives for whom nothing's happening
Hungry children is a mother's dilemma
Dumpster diving to feed her baby Emma
So you walk on by like it doesn't affect you
The held out hand that you pay no respect to
Nickels and dimes won't even buy your guilt
Another wino dead burnt to death in his quilt
It's a cardboard city, newspaper metrapolis
The system can't cope or keep on top of this
The outhorities come as you're not for display
Do they solve the problem no they move him away
They're in a vicious circle of no fixed abode
The social won't pay 'em the money they're owed
When you got no money you can't pay rent
Hypothermia kills 'cos the system is bent
From an uptown apartment to a knife an the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
It's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to

From an uptown apartment to a knife an the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
It's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to

In the subway sits a vacous man
His grip on life is a bent tin can
It's a holy shrine where he burns his light
It makes things easy and removes his plight
For an hour or two but he can't escape
They're all penned in with government tape
There are good samaritans who bring them soup
The sally army with their bibles and boots
You can see yourselves it's not too far
One short trip you don't know who they are
Till the night comes then it all comes back
Like the smell of patchoulli and the armies of rats
It's a shame to be human it's a human shame
It seems we've forgotten we're one and the same
One and the same
One and the same
No it's not too far
No it's not too far
We're one and the same
 
Firebreather
By RUNNING WILD.

Three days of darkness, eternal light
Celestial sign swallows up the light
A raging storm, Armaggeddon's here
The enslaved's hope is the evil fear

He rides the wind on silent wings, Laserbeams ripping steel
Black helicopters go up in flames, before they know that he's real

Firebreather, raging from the stormy sky
Firebreather, smoke and thunder steal the light away

Black soldiers walk the gates of hell
They drop their mask, they come off their shell
Minotaurs and genetic beasts
Invade the world with a bloody feast

He rides the wind on silent wings, Laserbeams ripping steel
Black helicopters go up in flames, before they know that he's real

Firebreather, raging from the stormy sky
Firebreather, smoke and thunder steal the light away

Man in black your time is up
Universal law, your outta luck
No dirty tricks, no unfair fight
He shoots your head off with his first strike

He rides the wind on silent wings, Laserbeams ripping steel
Black helicopters go up in flames, before they know that he's real

Firebreather, raging for the stormy sky
Firebreather, smoke and thunder steal the light away
 
[Inspired by the novel "War & Peace" by Leo Tolstoi]

War & Peace
By RUNNING WILD

The rifles are firing, the cracking of guns break the still
The march of the soldiers, no mercy, no thoughts and no will

They fall one by one, their blood is shed without sense
Trapped in the spell of a nightmare

War & peace, you're walking just straight on the edge
War & peace, you're dying in war, but you even can't live in peace

You gun down your victim and the devil is laughing in scorn
You're killing your brother, cause he's wearing the wrong uniform

They fall one by one, their blood is shed without sense
Trapped in the spell of a nightmare

War & peace, you're walking just straight on the edge
War & peace, you're dying in war, but you even can't live in peace

The essence of all evil is living on madness and hate
So see and take over, to rule the key to your fate

They fall one by one, their blood is shed without sense
Trapped in the spell of a nightmare

War & peace, you're walking just straight on the edge
War & peace, you're dying in war, but you even can't live in peace

you're dying in war, but you even can't live in peace...

:(
 
I dedicate this song to all who think the gods created life!

The Making And The Fall Of Man
By RUNNING WILD.

The question that on man's mind science the beginning of time is
"Where do we come from, where do we go?"
Well, let me tell you a story which took place a long, long time ago.
450 000 years before our time, when the atmosphere on "Nibiru"
the 12th planet was getting worse and worse and when "Alalu" the
sovereign of the "Annunaki-race" was dethroned and dislodged by
his opponent "Anu".
"Alalu" had to flee in his "Vimana" to save his life and he came down
to Earth and found something the "Annunaki" could use to filter the
solar radiation to save their atmosphere from destruction.:

"GOLD"!!

And "Alalu" revealed his discovery to "Anu" and as reward for it
he could return to his own planet.

AND THEN IT ALL BEGAN!!

A reef of gold was the right offering
For soothing with a gift of right size
He handed it over to Anu the King
Alalu's return had its price
Enki the scientist the son of Anu
Came down and dug for gold
Building a haven called Eridu
He mastered his task truely bold

No more gold, the volume decreased
The hair to the throne came down
Enlil brought Edin to seize
Ripping the gold of the ground
Annunaki men dug really hard
They worked their hands to the bone
A serious revolt for setting a mark
Cause the rage and discontent had grown

Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return
Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side

The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man

A daring test in the hour of need
An artificial bio-robot
Annunaki-essence for an exogamy
A fertilized ovum they had
An Annunaki woman was the one who gave birth
Adapa received his science
But Adapa was banned, he was not worth
The cause of malice and evil defiance

Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return
Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side

The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man

The gods created animals and plants
Adapa's daughters they took their chance
They got married to Annunaki men
Enlil got furious from this wicked sin
He knew a huge tidal way would come
His command, no warning to none
He wanted to wipe out man from this place
He wanted to stop this conceited and evil race

As the conspirator Enki took part
Noarch was charged to build up the arche
The water came deluding the spot
So, death flowed with the swallowing waves of the flood!!

Sodom and Gomorrah they fell from grace
But the gods, they had to see for themselves
Mankind was spreading demanding more space
Climbing the throne and its wealth

The gods had to prove, who was right, who was not
Who followed the laws that they gave
Only one called "Lot" at the unholy spot
They saved him and his children from a grave

Firewind blew, that unleashed the storm
Atomic explosions that raged
No more warning, no arousing alarm
Their power set an end to this age

A few good souls were sent by the gods
They tried to save mankind from fall
But the "M.en I.n B.lack" were hatching a plot
Defence and malice's their call
Grinding the earth, turning good into bad
They raged like a maniac beast
Exploiting the being, the evil did spread
Souls made for hellfire's feast

Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return
Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side

The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man
The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man

In the 7th month of the year 1999 an ancient god of wrath will return
bringing fire, water, death and destruction.
That is the day when man will be judged for all evil he has done
and he will be commanded into the eternal fire.
Only the good and righteous souls will be saved to live in eternal peace.

THIS IS THE WAR OF ARMAGGEDDON!

So it has been written, so it shall be done?....

Well, lucky it's only a song!

For my baby, and all the other lovers out there. ;) :love2:

You're The First, The Last, My Everything
Barry White

We got it together, didn't we?
Nobody but you and me.
We got it together, baby.
My first, my last, my everything,
And the answer to all my dreams.
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star.
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are.
I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two.
You're, you're all I'm living for
Your love I'll keep for evermore.
You're the first, my last, my everything.
In you I've found so many things,
A love so new, only you could bring.
Can't you see if you,
You'll make me feel this way,
You're like a first morning dew
on a brand new day.
I see so many ways that I can love you,
'Till the day I die....
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream.
You're my first, my last, my everything.
I know there's only one, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two.
Girl, you're my reality.
But I'm lost in a dream,
You're the first, you're the last, my everything.
 
Could You Lie
Alison Kruass

Go on, I have heard it all before
You have no shameless pain I feel you've never known
The rain outside is shifting in the wind
The road is looking lonelier alone again.

If love is real than love goes on and on
The words you said comdemn you as the guilty one
I guess you're not the kind you claim to be
Always looking out to get your love for free.

Could you lie and say you love me just a little?
One more wrong would keep us one more night
When quiet fades with the light of day
I'll see the truth that's on your face again.

When morning breaks my heart won't understand
I've spent a lifetime raising houses on the sand
The rain outside is shifting in the wind.
The road is looking lonelier alone again.

Could you lie and say you love me just a little?
One more wrong would keep us one more night
When quiet fades with the light of day
I'll see the truth that's on your face again.
 
A smattering of assorted songs.

I Want To Hold Your Hand - An obscure group who's name I forget

I'll tell you something I think you'll understand
When I say that something I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand
Oh, please say to me you'll let me be your man
And please say to me you'll let me hold your hand
Not, let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide

Yeah, you got that something I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide
Yeah, you got that something I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand

King of the Mountain - Midnight Oil

Walking through the high dry grass, pushing my way through slow
Yellow belly black snake, sleeping on a red rock
Waiting for the stranger to go
Sugar train stops at the crossing, cane cockies cursing below
Bad storm coming, better run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light, rain in the valley below
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall, call me the king of the mountain

Blacksmith fires up the bellows, cane cutters burning the load
Workers of the world, run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light, rain in the valley below
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall, call me the king of the mountain

I can't take my hands from my face, there are some things we can't replace

Mountain in the shadow of light, rain in the valley below
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall, call me the king of the mountain

Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat
Down cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheets
Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space
Down the road at a familiar place, across the wilderness
Out further than the bush I will follow you

I'm a Believer- Neil Diamond/ performed by the Monkees



I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the was it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
 
Time of your life

Another turning point ,
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist,
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test,
and don't ask why.
It's not a question,
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable,
But in the end is right,
I hope you have the time of your life.

So take the photographs,
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health,
and good time.
Tattos of memories,
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable,
But in the end is right,
I hope you have the time of your life.


Sniff, sniff. Iv'e always been touched by this song. :love:

Have you ever thought of reporting this to the authorities. We cannot condone songs going round touching poor little neds for their own sick pleasures..;) :lol:

Now, on with the formalities.

MA BAKER - Boney M

FREEZE! I'm Ma Baker - put your hands in the air,
gimme all your money

- This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat
from ol' Chicago town

She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really moved them down
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

She was the meanest cat
Oh she was really tough
She left her husband flat
He wasn't tough enough
She took her boys along
'cos they were mean and strong

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

They left a trail of crime
Across the U.S.A.
And when one boy was killed
She really made them pay
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

she met a man she liked
she thought she'd stay with him
one day he formed with them
they did away with him
she didn't care at all
just didn't care at all

- Here is a special bulletin.
Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman.
Her photo is hanging on every post office wall.
If you have any information about this woman,
please contact the nearest police station...

- Don't anybody move! The money or your lives!

One day they robbed a bank
it was their last foray
the cops appeared too soon
they couldn't get away
and all the loot they had
it made them mighty mad
and so they shot it out
Ma Baker and her sons
they didn't want to hang
they died with blazing guns
and so the story ends
of one who left no friends

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die


S.O.S - Abba

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
 
Yes!, Yes! i finally have it! One radical song from my most-darling record!

Claw
Written By: Lemmy, Performed By: Motorhead
Album: Orgasmatron, 1986

Watching you watching me
I was hoping you'd be here tonight
Watching him watching you
He'd better watch out too
'Cos he keeps getting in my light
I think he's going overload
Don't know what you're running for
He thinks he got you where he wants you babe
But he don't understand the power of the Claw
The Claw, the Claw, the Claw

You know me I know you
We both know what we came here for
And he thinks he knows you
He thinks he's got you too
Gonna make him cry for sure
He's going to have to make his way home
I don't know what he's smiling for
He thinks you're gonna keep your promise babe
But he don't understand the power of the Claw
The Claw, the Claw, the Claw

Me walking up to you
And whisper in your eager ear
You whisper back to me
And he begins to see
He feels the claw is near

And so the ballet starts again
Exit stage left through the door
And we begin the horisontal dance
And he begins to know just what the claw is for
The Claw, the Claw, the Claw
The Claw, the Claw, the Claw

You know just what the Claw is for
You know just what the Claw is for
You know just what the Claw is for
I know what my Claw is for
 
I dedicate this song to the troopers!

"Back To War"

By SODOM!

The end of armistice
And universal peace
No suspension
Of hostilities
Prophecy of bad news
This is no fun
Come into your own
And take off your gun
The enemy behind
Like an awful drag
You'd better have eyes
In the back of your head
Move into position
Put up a good fight
Don't forget the sleeping pills
A kind of suicide

Forget the rules
Forget the odds
Protect your own
War is guts

Back to war

You will be wrapped up
In your assiduous work
Offer your service
To clean up the world
The hostile scum
If looks could kill
Contact with the enemy
That you will feel
Centered on you
Touch and go
Put up with the pain
Await the blow
Fix them for what
They've done to you
Don't fall into line
Don't care what you do

Forget the rules
Forget the odds
Protect your own
War is guts

Back to war

War of independence
Don't beat a retreat
Combative in
The seasoned league
You are sure
Of your success
Never shut the eyes
To the horrible facts
Revolution and cowardice
To get the might
Never let them
Out of your sight
When you fall on the field
They'll bring you home
To the peaceful place
Where you were born

Forget the rules
Forget the odds
Protect your own
War is guts

Back to war
 
This one's for all the pro-hunting types out there!
Hope you're next to get hunted!

"Hunting Season"
By SODOM!

I was granted no quarter
Because you forgot the rules
The words I said are
Sure to come true
Your empty promises
Treacherous and blind
Your deceitful lies call
The war back to my mind

I learnt a way to survive
The enemy to neutralise
They got no reason
Hunting season

I want to set the world on fire
Like a savage beast - A final desire
I burn my boats surrounded by danger
A soldier in hiding kicked out like a stranger

I learnt a way to survive
The enemy to neutralise
They got no reason
Hunting season

I avail every chance
It's a pleasure for me
To slay one by one
To fight for liberty
Once a lieutenant in higher service
Now I'm nothing
A man without mercy

I learnt a way to survive
The enemy to neutralise
They got no reason
Hunting season

I want to set the world on fire
Like a savage beast - A final desire
I burn my boats surrounded by danger
A soldier in hiding kicked out like a stranger

I learnt a way to survive
The enemy to neutralise
They got no reason
Hunting season
 
"Reincarnation"

By SODOM!

Life on earth for you to know
In peace you live in peace you will go
Behind the scenes of salvation
Nobody knows lust and temptation

The mass begins the spirit appears
The man in black nothing he fears
A fatal disguise is what you call holy
Where is god? I want you to show me.

In the name of the father the son
The holy spirit the show has begun
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
Hallowed be thy name

Reincarnation
False celebration
Reincarnation
Mental subordination

Go down on your knees
And pray for peace
Join the club of total devotion
Religious faith and social failure
Once you've been trapped
Death is your saviour

In the name of the father the son
The holy spirit the show has begun
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
Hallowed be thy name

Reincarnation
False celebration
Reincarnation
Mental subordination

In the name of the father the son
The holy spirit the show has begun
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
Hallowed be thy name

Never Got Off the Ground
Alison Krauss

My father was a farmer,
But his head was in the sky.
He worked everyday but Sunday
'Til the day he died.

He prayed for rain and thunder,
And listened for the sound.
In the dryers he went under,
He never got off the ground.

We all dream when we're younger
That we will do great things.
Me? I used have a hunger
To wear a pilot's wings.

But the circles that out ran him
Turned my head around,
And the planes I had my plans in
Never got off the ground.

"Don't raise your hopes," I hear so many say,
"The higher they get the closer they are"
"To flying away,"
"Fly away."

"Don't raise your hopes," I hear so many say,
"The higher they get the closer they are"
"To flying away,"
"Fly away."

They say that but for fortune
Is the way it would've been.
If we could take a bigger portion
It would fill our heads again.

You see them on the sidewalks,
In the parks all over town,
Those who've taken flight
Never got off the ground.
 
That Kind of Love
Alison Kruass

Who would sell there soul for love?
Or waste one tear on compromise?
It should be easy now
To know a heart-ache in disguise.

But the heart rules the mind
And the going gets rough.
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love.

I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost the place inside
Where my heart knew its way
And my soul was ever-wise.

Once innocence was lost
There was not faith enough
Still, my heart held on
When it found that kind of love.

Though beauty is rare enough still, we trust
Somehow we'll find it there.
With no gaurantee
It seemed to me at least it should be fair.

But if it's only tears and pain
Isn't it still worth the cost?
Like some sweet saving grace
Or a river we must cross.

If we don't understand
What this life is made of
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love.

'Cause when innocence is lost
There is not faith enough
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love.
 
As I Went Down to the River to Pray
Alison Krauss from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way.

Oh, sisters lets go down
Let's go down, come on down
Oh sisters lets go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the rob and crown
Good Lord, show me the way.

Oh, brothers lets go down
Let's go down, come on down
Come on brothers, lets go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way.

Oh, fathers lets go down
Let's go down, come on down
Oh fathers lets go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the rob and crown
Good Lord, show me the way.

Oh, mothers lets go down
Come on down, don't you want to come down?
Come on mothers, lets go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way.

Oh, sinners lets go down
Let's go down, let's go down, come on down
Oh sinners lets go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way.
 
How about a little Rush:

Manhattan Project

Imagine a time when it all began
In the dying days of a war
A weapon that would settle the score
Whoever found it first would be sure to do their worst
They always had before

Imagine a man where it all began
A scientist pacing the floor
In each nation, always eager to explore
To build the best big stick
To turn the winning trick
But this was something more

The big bang took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun
The end was begun, it would hit everyone
When the chain reaction was done
The big shots try to hold it back
Fools try to wish it away
The hopeful depend on a world without end
Whatever the hopeless may say

Imagine a place where it all began
They gathered from across the land
To work in the secrecy of the desert sand
All of the brightest boys
To play with the biggest toys
More than they bargained for

Imagine a man when it all began
The pilot of "Enola Gay"
Flying out of the shockwave on that August day
All the powers that be, and the course of history
Would be changed for evermore
 
Boston

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
