an all time favorite song -- if it comes on the car radio when I'm driving I can't help but humiliate myself by singing along at the top of my lungs


Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
(Steve Winwood/Jim Capaldi)

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, 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

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, 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 disturbs you 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, high-heeled boys

Butterfly
i won't hurt you
i'll protect you
i won't let the rain fall down
i'll always be around

and baby i will understand if sometimes
you just want to spread your wings and fly
and let your colours shine

and everyday i wanna be a risk you take
make a promise that will never break for life

you're my butterfly
don't fly away open my hands your free
praying you'll come back to me
you're my butterfly
don't fly away
you're my reality
always be my gravity
you're my butterfly
come on and touch the sky
you're my butterfly

i won't forget you
or neglect you
won't let no-one take your place
in your eyes i see my face

and baby do you know that everybody watches
every time that you take flight
they're blinded by your light

every day the feeling's gonna be the same
i can promise that will never change for life

Pollution Pirates - Nina Hagen

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas

One day we will glow,
And one day we will flow
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Let yourself go

One day we may fly,
And the next day we may die
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Give it a try

One day we are fine,
The next day we may decline
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to shine

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

One day you feel great and
The next day you lose your mate
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Have some faith!

One day you feel so free and
The next day you drive into a tree!
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to see

One day they give you a pill and
The next day you feel really ill!
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Use your own will!

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

How many times must these words be said
How many times until it gets inside of your head
Yello, black, brown or white
Man, woman or child
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name...

[Adrian Baggins]

Bring Me To Life
by Evenesence(sp)W/Paul Macoy(I think that's what it said on Fuse formerly known as MMUSA)

How can you see into my eyes,
like open doors?
Leading you down into my core,
where I've become so numb
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me breathe
breathe
me
tonight

The tender soul,
my sprit sleeping somewhere cold,
untill you find it there and
lead it back
home
wake me up
wake me up inside
Can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me form the dark
Wake me up
bid my blood to run
Can't wake up
Before I come un done
Save me
Save me form the nothing I've become
need-------to----------learn-------
I've bin living a lie,
there's nothing inside
need--------to---------learn--------
Now that I know what I'm with out
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me breathe
breathe
me
tonight
wake me up
wake me up inside
Can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me form the dark
Wake me up
bid my blood to run
Can't wake up
Before I come undone
Save me
Save me form the nothing I've become
Frozen
frozen in time
without your touch, without your love darling
only you hold the light amonge the
dead--------------------------------------------------
All this time
I couldn't belive I didn't see
kept in the dark,
but you were there in fount of me
I've bin sleeping for a thousand years it seems
forgot to open my eyes to every thing
without a thought
without a voice
without a soul
Bring me to life---------------------
wake me up
wake me up inside
Can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me form the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
Can't wake up
Before I come un done
Save me
Save me form the nothing I've become
need-------to----------learn-------
I've bin living a lie,
there's nothing inside
need--------to---------learn--------'

I think, I'm getting the Lyrics from a fan fic I read a HP fan fic with Draco/Hermi in love. Oh well, I can blame Bratty_Anthy if this is wrong.

[Agalayth]

That's a really good song.

DEAD IN THE WATER by Even All Out

The clock it ticks and it won't stop
It keeps running life as we know it
The deadlines, appointments, disappointments
That we try and avoid by always being on time
So get all your priorities straight
Cause time may heal wounds, but time won't wait
while you relax and just enjoy your leisure


(Chorus)
We're dead in the water,
Trapped in a cage but it's alright
Cause traffic keeps moving,
So pave your own way and live your life


The mind it races and it changes
But it also makes us who we are
The heartbreak, the best times, and the bullsh*t
Are all what we need to make the best of our time
So just live life at your own pace
Give yourself time, give yourself space
To relax and just enjoy your leisure


(Chorus)


So just keep on moving on
but that doesn't mean run away
We've all got our battle scars
Here are mine
Show me yours I'll help you realize


(Chorus)



SIMPLE by Even All Out


Out of the dark I step
With my life in my hands but can't hold on tight enough
While trying to understand
How to figure things out where I'll be in the end
So i'll just step back
To see what I'm lacking
Caught in my mind
I s the thought of how different things can seem


(Chorus)
It's not simple cause
We'll look back on these day's yet they'll be gone
And if I seem too stuck on today
It's just for now


Just wait, cause time goes by
And I'll be caught in this and forget almost everything
Cause my senses seem dulled
Have i seen too much?
And i wish I was pulled
Into ignorance


Cause into the dark i step
with my life out of reach couldn't hold on tight
But I've still got time
at least I think but it's not a garentee


(Chorus)


Just another life, like mine passes by
Never stop to think, never realize
Just how weak we are
Yet if pushed too far
We can get swept away
I thought it was easy but....


(Chorus)
It's not simple cause
We'll look back on these day's yet they'll be gone

Both Sides, Now - Joni Mitchell

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall;
I really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
When every fairy tale comes real,
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show,
You leave 'em laughing when you go.
And if you care, don't let them know,
Don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall;
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Well something's lost but something's gained,
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall;
I really don't know life at all.

Wow -- haven't 'heard' that one in years -- Thanks, Baby K!

and thanks for the kind words IR -- it's a heavy responsibility for the 'mature' mooters to set the standard for the kids here

My pleasure - I was listening to it on Sunday & couldn't get it outa my head, so I figured I'd share. I didn't know there were others here who enjoyed Joni

THE BOY IN THE PICTURE - SEAHORSES

I asked the boy in the picture what could he see?
He said it's been twenty long years
but you still look like me

(Chorus)
If you find somebody that you need
Go ahead and tell her show her what you mean
And soon you'll find love is blind and free
If you see Sally or Smokey say hello for me
Tell them I hope they're happy
Working the beach, just out of reach, but free

I asked the boy in the picture
how's your brother been?
He said he's doing just fine now but
he's still a little too thin

And then the boy in the picture he asked me
Got any tips where do I go wrong and,
Who am I going to be?

[Coney]

Sally Simpson-The Who

Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
that Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
and she ran inside weeping.
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture
of the new Messiah.
She picked up a book of her fathers life
and threw it on the fire!

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

The theme of the sermon was come unto me,
Love will find a way,
So Sally decided to ignore her dad,
and sneak out anyway!
She spent all afternoon getting ready,
and decided she'd try to touch him,
Maybe he'd see that she was free
and talk to her this Sunday.

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

She arrived at six and the place was swinging
to gospel music by nine.
Group after group appeared on the stage
and Sally just sat there crying.
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture
right in the very front row
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
ran on and said 'here we go!'

The crowd went crazy
As Tommy hit the stage!
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
The crowd back in a rage!

But soon the atmosphere was cooler
as Tommy gave a lesson.
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
and leapt up on the rostrum!
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
and touched him on the face
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man,
threw her of the stage.

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down,
mingling with her tears,
Tommy carried on preaching
and his voice filled Sally's ear
She caught his eye she had to try
but couldn't see through the lights
Her face was gashed and the ambulance men
had to carry her out that night.

The crowd went crazy
As Tommy left the stage!
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
And a gash across her face! OOoooh.

Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said
'don't say I didn't warn yer'.
Sally got married to a rock musician
she met in California
Tommy always talks about the day
the disciples all went wild!
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
to remind her of his smile.

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

America - Simon & Garfunkel

"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America

"Kathy" I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

[Hasty Ent]

I get chills whenever I hear this song -- anyone remember Dylan (and many friends) singing this in Scorsese's movie The Last Waltz?


I Shall Be Released by Bob Dylan

They say ev'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection,
They say ev'ry man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

More local band songs!!

I Can't - Pete Kilpatrick

As I walk into an empty room
I felt myself fall apart
What can I do
I've fallen behind this time
And it's not for you

And you say don't say anything to me
And I turn it's not my turn

Here comes the wind to blow me down
I'm always screaming but can't make a sound
I'm falling faster into you and I can't find my way

I cannot stand much longer
Cause I'm falling down
Thought I'd be much stronger
With you not around
Inside my head my eyes seem fixed on you
What am I supposed to do

Here comes the wind to blow me down
I'm always screaming but can't make a sound
I'm falling faster into you and I can't find my way

Why don't you go on without me
Cause I can't walk no more


Midflight - Pete Kilpatrick

As the man in the sand says
Why does this feel so right
Like the girl with the smile said
Why is the sky so bright
As we drop down in from the clouds
I'm coming home tonight Midflight

You can't let go, Just thought I'd let you know
If you need to fly, Don't let them stand in your way

As the man in the sand says
Why is the ground so white
Like the girl with the sun said
Why can't I sleep tonight
As we drop down in from the clouds
I'm coming home tonight Midflight

You can't let go, Just thought I'd let you know
If you need to fly, Don't let them stand in your way


Through The Glass - Even All Out

As we fall we see our methods lack.
We can't communicate
As we watch through the glass.
There's nothing wrong
When nine out of ten really can't complain.
But wouldn't they hate to be the one?
To find an easy way out of here
It's proving just as bad.


(Chorus)
To find out all the things we still don't know.
We're left out, yeah we really should've known.
We're cold and wounded in the rain,
And I'm wondering why I came.
Because I'm leaving again.


We cannot find we lose our faith,
Yet still, we go on anyway.
But can't walk through the glass.
There's something wrong.
Now we can't pretend that maybe it can wait.
Never thought I'd be the one.
T o find an easy way out of here
It's proven just as bad


(Chorus)


Take back all that you can see.
Don't share all your views with me.


(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm leaving again



All awesome songs!

White Stipes I Can Tell (We're Gonna be Friends)

Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

Well here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphbet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

[Draken]

Bitter Suite III): Blue Angel by Marillion

The sky was Bible black in Lyon
When I met the Magdalene
She was paralysed in a streetlight
She refused to give her name

And a ring of violet bruises
They were pinned upon her arm.
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears
And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear
"'J'entend ton coeur"
I can hear your heart



(bloody hell 200 francs at 80s prices...I hope she was good!)

[Giroth]

here's a cool song from a cool band;

artist:Switchfoot

Song title:Meant to Live

Meant to Live

Fumbling his confidence
And wond’ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

[Silme*Christian]

Do any of you have the lricks for 'May it be' by Enya? I REALLY need it.

[Giroth]

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home

Mornië utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now


Here you go!

[Silme*Christian]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! A thousand thank yous to you!
