This Song's For You

[SlowwHand]

Superman (It's Not Easy)
Five for Fighting


I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me
I’m more than a bird…I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd…but don’t be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed…but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me
Up, up and away…away from me
It’s all right…You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy…or anything…
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It’s not easy to be me.

Riding With Private Malone
David Ball from the new album 'Amigo'.

I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds
when an ad that said old chevy some how caught my eye
the lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
but I had that thousand dollars in my hand

It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
when I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
what she'd called a Chevy was a sixty six corvette
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
but what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
the date was nineteen sixty six and this is what he wrote

(chorus) He said my name is Pvt. Andrew Malone
if you're reading this then I didn't make it home
but for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
this car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
and though you may take her and make her your own
you'll always be riding with Pvt. Malone

Well it didn't take me long at all I had her running good
I love to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down
all the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
the buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
but it picked up that oldie show especially late at night
I'd get the feeling sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
a soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me

(chorus) It was a young man named Pvt. Andrew Malone
who fought for his country and never made it home
but for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
this car was once a dream of his back when it was new
he told me to take her and make her my own
and I was proud to be riding with Pvt. Malone

One night it was raining hard I took the curve too fast
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
they didn't get his name but I know without a doubt

(chorus) It was a young man named Pvt. Andrew Malone
who fought for his country and never made it home
but for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
this car was once a dream of his back when it was new
I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
that night I was riding with Pvt. Malone
oh thank god i was riding with Pvt. Malone

That's your problem.
The ramblings of the jealous and the stupid concern me not at all.

A while back I made a rather stupid reply to one of
the posts here, and quite rightly I got a warning.

Looking on my actions I was stricken at how insensitive
I must have seemed. My foolishness in this incident has
been embarrasing me ever since, and I hope this song will
in a small way show my real feelings...

It's a calm ballad by Iron maiden,
And I dedicate these words to all those innocent
who were lost to us on the dark morning of Sept 11....

Como esta amigo
For the death of those we don't know
Shall we kneel and say a prayer
They will never know we care
Shall we keep the fires burning
Shall we keep the flames alight
Shall we try to remember
What is wrong and what is right
No more tears, no more tears
If we live for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears

If we do forget them and
The sacrifice they made
Will the wickedness and
Sadness come to visit us again
Shall we dance the dance in sunlight
Shall we drink the wine of peace
Shall we keep at bay the beast

No more tears, no more tears
If we lived for hundred years
Amigos no more tears

Inside the scream is silent
Inside it must remain
No victory, no vanquished
Only horror, only pain

No more tears, no more tears
If we lived for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears

No more tears, no more tears
If we lived for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears.

*gasp!* I was going to post that song a little while ago but I couldn't remember all the lyrics. I love this song!


Here's a song about Texas...

Songs About Texas
Pat Green

I sing songs about Texas,
Sing them often as if she were some old lover,
I used to know.
Wish I could follow them back to the homeland every time.
I hear one on my radio.
Twin fiddles playing in my memory, my daddy sang
The wonders of old cow town.
Silver haired and he's still there
Under a sky so kind and fair,
I tell you friends there's a song in every town.

Sing me one more song
about old San Antone,
seems like a dream now it was so long ago,
Guy Clark he can be like a coat from the cold,
Songs about Texas sing them often every time
I think I've got no home.

Nothing short of the gospel hymns.
I guess that's why folks keep writing 'um.
When I die, I want to go there too.
Some day I hope to walk along heavens street
I'll still be looking for my taco meat
And I swear I hear a steel guitar rising in the air.

Sing me one more song about those dusty plains
Them honky tonk angels, and their lonely be hive pain.
Wish I stowed away on some fast moving train,
Going home, going home.

When the night is real real still,
Swear I could hear a whippoorwill.
She knows there's music in the dirt down there.
Hill country rain is a cleansing thing,
And all I have to see one, and I'll be sitting in a shallow creek
With nothing to do.

Sing me one more song
about old San Antone,
seems like a dream now it was so long ago,
Guy Clark he can be like a coat from the cold,
Songs about Texas sing them often every time
I think I've got no home.

Sing me one more song
about old San Antone,
seems like a dream now it was so long ago,
Guy Clark he can be like a coat from the cold,
Songs about Texas sing them often every time
I think I've got no home.

What Is Life
George Harrison

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What I know, I can do
If I give my love now to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make ev'rything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

(fade
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me who am I without you by my side

Cold One Coming On
Montgomery Gentry

Weatherman says it might hit ninety-five.
September's gonna feel more like July.
He's callin' for a night that's warm and mild,
But I think he missed it by a mile.
He just don't know that you're gone.
I feel a cold one coming on.

Drivin' home gets longer everday.
I found new things to do along the way.
A bar room ain't no place to run and hide
From the memory of a love that said goodbye.
I'm sick and tired or right or wrong.
I feel a cold one coming on.

It makes you want to start thinking about drinking.
If I don't find a way to ease my mind
And leave all this behind
I'm gonna go crazy, without you baby,
A bar room or a bed room back at home.
I feel a cold one coming on.

It makes you want to start thinking about drinking.
If I don't find a way to ease my mind
And leave all this behind
I'm gonna go crazy, without you baby,
A bar room or a bed room back at home.
I feel a cold one coming on.

A bar room or that bed room back at home,
I feel a cold one coming on.


Against the Wind
I forgot who did it originally, but I do know Brooks and Dunn re-did it

Seems like yesterday, but it was long ago.
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights.
There in the darkness with the radio playing low.
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved.
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left and nothing left to lose.
I remember what she said to me,
How she swore it would never end.
I rember how she held me so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

Against the wind. We were running against the win.
We were young and strong and running against the wind.

The years rolled slowly past. I found myself alone.
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends,
I found my self further and further from my home.
I guess I lost my way. There were oh so many roads.
I was living to run and running to live.
Never worried about paying
Or even how much I owed.
Moving 8 miles a minute for months at a time.
Breaking the rules that would bend. I began to find myself searching.
Searching for shelter again and again.

Against the wind. A little something against the wind.
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.

Well those days are past me now,
I got so much to think about.
Deadlines and commintments,
What to leave in, what to leave out.

Against the wind, I'm still running against he wind.
I'm older now and still running against the wind.

Yeah, I'm older now and still running against the wind.

 

[SlowwHand]

Bob Seger did "Against The Wind" originally.
Brooks and Dunn do a lot of remixes, like "My Maria", originally by B.W. Stevenson.


Friends in Low Places
Garth Brooks

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same.

EVE OF DESTRUCTION
Barry McGuire

The eastern world it is explodin',
violence flarin', bullets loadin'.
You're old enough to kill but not for votin',
You don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
and marches alone can't bring integration,
when human respect is disintegratin',
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when you return, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, the pride, and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbor, but don't forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

A testimony to the ancient worlds...
FALLEN
By Symphony X

Alone I walk, among the twisting shadows
tempted by the ancient magic, the Power of Five
My desire to mirror my own image -
and I will offer you no soul - offer you no soul

Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the Fathers of Time

Feel my hate, I'm banished to this wasteland
my Serpents plot the overthrow of your temples and shrines
In the night, my army's rage and fury burning my
shadow into the land - Vengeance by myhand

Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the Fathers of Time
Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Paradise denied - the balance of ages forever lost in time

Was I sure of my fateful wish to evoke the night from the day?
Thousands now join as one - be afraid
What have I done? Clouds are dimming
the Sun with his wrath of disease and decay
This masque of vengeance leads my death parade
What have I done?
"My shadow burning - my shadow burns across the land...".

Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Symmetry divine, there's no force greater
Dividing the Fathers of Time
Tonight Darkness will shadow the Light -
Paradise denied - the balance of ages forever lost in time

"...and there was a need for balance, the coming of Ma'at.."

 

[CurtSibling]

In the far reaches of space, the battle for justice is never over...
FIRING THE GUNS
By Iron Savior

Infuriated - electrified
Grim and relentless they ride
Fighters are launching

Onto the stars versing the shadows
Armed and ready to strike
Starwings engaging
The battle is raging

Fires in the sky
Prepared to die - no time to sigh
Thunder roars
Ready to course with no remorse

Firing the guns - explode and reload
Firing the guns - relentless and cold
Time to strike back
Under attack

They're thrusting their way
Throughout the rows
Again man's in the throws
The throws of war
We've seen it before

The world's under fire
The flames burning higher
The Dark must not come to the throne
Man will fight
With all its might

Dragons of light
Infernal ride - defeat the night
Starwings engage
Ready to course with no remorse

Firing the guns...

Fighting in this dreadful war? what is it all good for
In the battle against the Dark - there ain't no turning back
I am a warrior, still I'm strong
I'll raise my blade to carry on - carry on

Fires in the sky...

Firing the guns...

It's Still Rock And Roll To Me
Billy Joel


What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
"Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?"
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
"Welcome back to the age of jive.
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
"Can't you tell that it's out of style?"
Should I get a set of while wall tires?
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me

Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
'Cause it's always been the same old scene.
There's a new band in town
But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
Aimed at your average teen

How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
"You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance.
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me

What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
"Don't you know that they're out of touch?"
Should I try to be a straight `A' student?
"If you are then you think too much.
Don't you know about the new fashion honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

 

[Simon Darkshade]

LONDON CALLING
(STRUMMER/JONES)

London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear
London is drowning and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The Ice age is coming the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
Cos London is drowning and I live by the river

Now get this
London calling, yes I was there too
An' you know what they said - Well some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
An' after all this, won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a' like...

ROCK THE CASBAH
(THE CLASH)

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

CHORUS

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

CHORUS

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends
Phil Ochs

Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.

Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff
Thirteen cars are piled up, they're hanging on a cliff.
Maybe we should pull them back with our towing chain
But we gotta move and we might get sued and it looks like it's gonna rain
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.

Sweating in the ghetto with the colored and the poor
The rats have joined the babies who are sleeping on the floor
Now wouldn't it be a riot if they really blew their tops?
But they got too much already and besides we got the cops
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.

Oh there's a dirty paper using sex to make a sale
The Supreme Court was so upset, they sent him off to jail.
Maybe we should help the fiend and take away his fine.
But we're busy reading Playboy and the Sunday New York Times
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

Smoking marihuana is more fun than drinking beer,
But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years
Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why
But demonstrations are a drag, besides we're much too high
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

Oh look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

Just What I Needed
The Cars
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah

You always knew to wear it well, and
You look so fancy I can tell
I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep

I guess you're just what I needed
Just what I needed
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
Just what I needed
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time, time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

I guess you're just what I needed
Just what I needed
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
Just what I needed
I needed someone to bleed

I guess you're just what I needed
Just what I needed
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
Just what I needed
I needed someone to bleed

So bleed me
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed

People Are Strange
The Doors
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

Rebel Yell
Billy Idol
Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a liscence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to me babe
What set you free I need you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more.


What It's Like
Everlast
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked, and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you ****in' slob's all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like

I've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man sin, I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win, and a sad man grin, I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad, and the down side of up, and everything between
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup, and smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max he used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late, he liked to get ****-faced and keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a pick up fight, and Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some **** and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way, at least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
To have to lose...


Zombie
The Cranberries
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me,
it's not my family
In your head, in your
head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are cryin'
In your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie
Another mother's breakin'
heart is taking over
when the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head they are dyin'
In your head, in your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head

April Sun In Cuba
Dragon

I'm tired of the city life,
Summer's on the run,
People tell me I should stay
But I got to get my fun
So don't try to hold me back
There's nothing you can say
Snake eyes on the paradise
And we got to go today.

Chorus

Take me to the April Sun in Cuba, oh, oh, oh,
Take me where the April sun gonna treat me
So right, so right, so right.

I can almost smell the perfumed nighs
And see the starry sky
I wish you comin' with me baby
'Cause right before my eye
See Castro in the alley way
Talkin' 'bout missile love
Talkin' 'bout J.F.K.
And the way he shook him up.

Chorus

I'm tired of the city life
Summer's on the run
Birds in the winter sky
Are headin' for the sun
Oh, we can stick it out
In this cold and grey
Snake eyes on the paradise,
And we got to go today, yeah.

Chorus

Take me to the APril sun,
C'mon take me, take me to the April sun,
C'mon, c'mon take me, take me to the April sun.


Jailbreak - ACDC

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell,
Jury found him guilty,
Gave him sixteen years in hell.
He said "I ain't spending my life here,
I ain't living alone,
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang,
I'm breakin' out and headin' home.
Gonna make a Jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky,
I'm gonna make a Jailbreak,
Oh, how I wish that I could fly.
All in the name of Liberty
All in the name of Liberty
Just set me free
Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years,
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah."
He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
by another man.
She was down and he was up
He had a gun in his hand.
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been
But it was
All in the name of Liberty
All in the name of Liberty
I got to be free.
Jailbreak, Jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of here.
Heartbeats they were racin',
Freedom he was chasin',
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing,
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back.

I heard a parody of this song titled: "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep." I'll spare you the details and not post the lyrics.

this song is made by the swedish band bob hund. it´s called 'ett fall och en lösning' in swedish and it´s rather good. bob hund is famous in the music 'elite world' and band like blur and the strokes love them.

translated to english:

The girls are away
I'm uninspired
living by night
makes my skin inflamed

everything seems to point to a social infection
a nice little evening doesn't change my situation

my mum threw me out to get some sort of answer
she just wanted to show what bad manners I have
I get so angry that I always have to lose
get going midnight, then I'll take all the intoxication

Don't need a cure
don't need anything
don't need anything but
a case and a solution

buy me a ticket to the fastest thing: one portion
and throw in the bang of an atom bomb explosion
I seem to be a victim
a natural selection
meet me on the other side unusual direction

[refrain]

a solution
I need a solution
so come and give me a
solution....... a solution [4 times]

Jean
Rod McKuen

Jean, Jean, roses are red
All the leaves have gone green
And the clouds are so low
You can touch them, and so
Come out to the meadow, Jean

Jean, Jean, you're young and alive
Come out of your half-dreamed dream
And run, if you will, to the top of the hill
Open your arms, bonnie Jean

Till the sheep in the valley come home my way
Till the stars fall around me and find me alone
When the sun comes a-singin' I'll still be waitin'

For Jean, Jean, roses are red
And all of the leaves have gone green
While the hills are ablaze with the moon's yellow haze
Come into my arms, bonnie Jean

(Jean, Jean)
Jean, you're young and alive!!
Come out of your half-dreamed dream
And run, if you will to the top of the hill
Come into my arms, bonnie Jean

Jean

La-la-la-la,

My Eyes Adored You
- Frankie Valli

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far

Carried your books from school
Playing "make-believe you're married to me"
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways

Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss
And the love I left behind

My eyes adored you
All my life I will remember
Though I never laid a hand on you
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
So close, so close and yet so far
I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you

So close, so close and yet so far

one of the greatest love songs ever


Unchained Melody
Righteous Brothers


Whoa, my love; my darling;
I've hungered for your touch;
A long, lonely time.
And time, goes by, so slowly;
And time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love;
I need your love;
God speed your love, to me.

Lonely rivers flow, to the sea, to the sea;
To the open arms of the sea... yea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me;
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Whoa, my love, my darling,
I've hungered, hungered, for your love,
A long, lonely time.
And time, goes by, so slowly,
And time, can do, so much;
Are you still mine?
I need your love;
I.... I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely mountains gaze
at the stars, at the stars;
dreaming of the dawn, of the day.
All alone I gaze
at the stars, at the stars;
dreaming of my love far away.

Whoa, my love, my darling,
I've hungered, hungered, for your love,
a long, lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
