Really? That's awesome. I want to go to Ireland someday.
Boy in the Bubble Paul Simon It was a slow day The sun was beating on the soldiers by the side of the road There was a bright light A shattering of shop-windows The bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio These are the days of miracle and wonder This is a long-distance call They was the camera follows us in slow mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation that is dying in the corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder and don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry There was a dry wind And it swept across the desert and it curled into the circle of birth And the dead sand Falling on the children And mothers and the fathers and the automatic earth These are the days of miracle and wonder This is a long-distance call They was the camera follows us in slow mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation that is dying in the corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder and don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry It's a turn-around-jump shot It's everybody's jump-start It's every generation throws a hero up the pop-charts Well medicine is magical and magical is art You know the boy in the bubble and the baby with the baboon heart And I believe These are the days of lasers in the jungle Lasers in the jungle somwhere Stuccato signals of constant information A loose affiliation Of millionaires and billionaires and baby These are the days of miracle and wonder This is a long distance call They was the camera follows us in slow mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation that is dying in the corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder and don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!

It's New Years Day, just like the day before; Same old skies of grey, same empty bottles on the floor.

I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year!

The Sound of Silence ~ Paul Simon
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls." And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

Proud by Heather Small
i liked this first time around, and now she's re-released it, I will go buy it I look into the window of my mind Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind I step out of the ordinary I can feel my soul ascending I am on my way Can't stop me now And you can do the same What have you done today to make you feel proud? It's never too late to try What have you done today to make you feel proud? You could be so many people If you make that break for freedom What have you done today to make you feel proud? Still so many answers I don't know Realise that to question is how we grow So I step out of the ordinary I can feel my soul ascending I am on my way Can't stop me now And you can do the same What have you done today to make you feel proud? It's never too late to try What have you done today to make you feel proud? You could be so many people If you make that break for freedom What have you done today to make you feel proud? We need a change Do it today I can feel my spirit rising We need a change So do it today 'Cause I can see a clear horizon What have you done today to make you feel proud? So what have you done today to make you feel proud? 'Cause you could be so many people If you make that break for freedom So what have you done today to make you feel proud? What have you done today to make you feel proud? What have you done today You could be so many people? Just make that break for freedom So what have you done today to make you feel proud? |

Pretty Things
This song really makes me love Rufus Wainwright's newest cd. I mean, I really identify with the lyrics...in a way that's difficult to explain.
Pretty things, so what if I like pretty things? Pretty lies, so what if I like pretty lies? From where you are, to where I am now, I need these pretty things. Surround the planets of my face, Everything's a sign of my astrology, From where you are to where I am now, Is it some galaxy? Be a star, and fall down somewhere next to me And make it past your color TV. This time will pass, and with it will me, And all these pretty things. Dont say that you don't notice them. |

Without you im nothing - PLACEBO
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide I'll take it by your side Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide I'll take it by your side Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies I'll take it by your side Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide I'll take it by your side tick, tock. tick, tock. tick, tock. tick, tick. tick. tick. tick, tock. tick. I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen I seem to lose the power of speech Your slipping slowly from my reach You grow me like an evergreen You never see the lonely me, at all I... Take the plan, spin it sideways I... Fall Without you, I'm Nothing Without you, I'm nothing Without you, I'm nothing Take the plan, spin it sideways Without you, I'm nothing at all

![]() this thread could be all paul simon ![]() Train in the Distance ~ Paul Simon She was beautiful as Southern skies The night he met her She was married to someone He was doggedly determined that he would get her He was old, he was young From time to time he'd tip his heart But each time she withdrew Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Well eventually the boy and the girl get married Sure enough they have a son And though they both were occupied With the child she carried Disagreements had begun And in a while they fell apart It wasn't hard to do Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Two disappointed believers Two people playing the game Negotiations and love songs Are often mistaken for one and the same Now the man and the woman Remain in contact Let us say it's for the child With disagreements about the meaning Of a marriage contract Conversations hard and wild But from time to time He makes her laugh She cooks a meal or two Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance Everybody thinks it's true What is the point of this story What information pertains The thought that life could be better Is woven indelibly Into our hearts And our brains

The Suffolk Miracle, as sung by Jim Moray:
A wealthy squire lived in our town He was a man of high renown He had one daughter, a beauty bright And the name he gave her was his Heart's Delight Many young men to court her came But none of them could her favour gain Till there came one of low degree And above them all, why, she'd fancy he But when her father he came to know That his lovely daughter loved this young man so Over fifty miles he sent her away All to deprive her of her wedding day One night as she lay in her bedroom Her love appeared from out the gloom He kissed her cheek and this did say “Arise my darling and come away” 'Twas with this young man she got on behind And they rode faster than any wind They rode on for an hour or more Till he cries, “My darling, my head feels sore!” A holland handkerchief she's then pulled out And with it tied his aching head about She's kissed him close and this did say “My love, you're colder than any clay” When they came to her father's gate He said, “Get down, love, for the hour is late! Get down, get down, love, and go to bed And I'll see this gallant horse is groomed and fed” And when she's come to her father's hall “Who's that, who's that?” her own father called “It is I dear father, did you send for me By such a messenger”, naming he “Oh no dear daughter, that can not be Your words are false, and you lie to me For on yon mountain your true love died And in the graveyard his body lies” So straightway then went this maiden brave And with her friend she exposed the grave There lay his body though six weeks dead With the Holland handkerchief all around his head

It's Not Easy Being Green Kermit the Frog
It's not easy being green Having to spend each day the color of the leaves When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow, or gold Or something much more colorful like that It's not easy being green It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over 'Cause you're not standing out Like flashy sparkles in the water Or stars in the sky But green's the color of spring And green can be cool and friendly-like And green can be big like a mountain Or important like a river Or tall like a tree When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why But why wonder why wonder I am green, and it'll do fine It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be

N.I.B by Black Sabbath
Some people say my love cannot be true Please believe me my love and i'll show you I will give you those things you thought unreal The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal Follow me now and you will not regret Living the life you led before we met You are the first to have this love of mine Forever with me till the end of time Your love for me has just got to be real Before you know the way I'm going to feel I'm going to feel I'm going to feel Now I have you with me under my power Our love grows stronger now with ev'ry hour Look into my eyes you'll see who I am My name is Lucifer please take my hand |

A House Is Not A Motel by Love
At my house I've got no shackles You can come and look if you want to In the halls you?ll see the mantles Where the light shines dim all around you And the streets are paved with gold and if Someone asks you, you can call my name You are just a thought that someone Somewhere somehow feels you should be here And it?s so for real to touch To smell, to feel, to know where you are here And the streets are paved with gold and if Someone asks you, you can call my name You can call my name I hear you calling my name yeah all right now By the time that I?m through singing The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing More confusions, blood transfusions The news today will be the movies for tomorrow And the water?s turned to blood, and if You don?t think so Go turn on your tub And it it?s mixed with mud You?ll see it turn to gray And you can call my name I hear you call my name

I will walk...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood I will walk...with my shadow flag into your garden garden of stone I don't show... I don't share... I don't need what you have to give...

100 Years by Five For Fighting
I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment She feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live I'm 33 for a moment Still the man, but you see I'm a they A kid on the way A family on my mind I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life 15 there's still time for you Time to buy, Time to lose yourself Within a morning star 15 I'm all right with you 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live Half time goes by Suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on... I'm 99 for a moment Dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are 15 there's still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you're on your way Every day's a new day... 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live

i love that five for fighting song. rather oddly i came to post a five for fighting song too....
Dying - five for fighting I'm Dying, Dying to wake up without you, without you in my head again I'm Dying, Dying to forget about you, that you ever lived There's a shade come over this heart that's coping with laying down to rest I'm Dying to live without you again I'm Dying, Dying to find a distraction, get you away from me I'm Dying, Dying to reach a conclusion, so that the world can see It's the same old story of love and glory that broke before it bent I'm Dying to live without you again The first time you left I said goodbye Now there's not a prayer that can survive Dying, Dying to die just to come back so we can meet again Dying, Dying to say what I always should have said It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this As long as there's a breath... I'm Dying and I can't live without you again It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this As long as there's a breath... I'm Dying and I can't live without you I'm Dying and I can't live without you again

A Horse With no Name - America
On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And a sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert your can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain (la la la...) After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a riverbed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see... I been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert your can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain (la la la...) ~Guitar jam~ After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see, I been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert your can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain (la la la...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sandman - America
Written by Dewey Bunnell, ©1971 Ain't it foggy outside All the planes have been grounded Ain't the fire inside? Let's all go stand around it Funny, I've been there And you've been here And we ain't had no time to drink that beer 'Cause I understand you've been running from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye Of a hurricane that's abandoned Ain't the years gone by fast I suppose you have missed them Oh, I almost forgot to ask Did you hear of my enlistment? Funny, I've been there And you've been here And we ain't had no time to drink that beer 'Cause I understand you've been running from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye Of a hurricane that's abandoned ...

Cradle Of Filth Presents From The Poison-Hearted Reigning at the feast of Phantasia Heightened pleasures were endeavoured to bow Before My coronation and vocal aspirations To rule this fool creation fallen ?neath Me now I knew deep eyes Of a distant Christ Were scarred from afar under starry lustre Sighting my recitals on the rites of vice Perverting Virtue Enslaving grace Behind the glittering mask of pride Saving face finding thorns to pierce His side Desire, the fire Spread hell throughout my soul And higher the wire The more I sought control Straining from the leash in exultation Head to the wind to breathe with ravenous lungs The global scent of fornication A writhe of many vipers deciphering tongues I whispered schemes to dreamers then To pursue an Eden That screamed of me supreme again As my world bloomed So too the moon Through Adam to Seth,Enos,Cainan Mahalaleel and Jared blew Perverting virtue Enslaving grace Behind the slippery guise of lies Saving face making waves to drown their faith Messiahs, pariahs Aeons reversed the two Thus higher, their sprites The more cursed grew their roots And suffering? I swept cruel seas On the galley of the shadow of death A fist in the c*** of the spread horizon A kiss for the sun risen red once dined on The coast of Menses Discharged from celestial wombs A first degree murder of ravens Followed in fugue through the crack of doom The Goat of Mendes I set regime In the galley of the shadow of death Angels in raiments As pure as coal Taking their payments In tortured mortal souls A bold direction The abyss edge But on cold reflection One they warmed to nonetheless As they preyed the paths of the righteous Through the myth of thistled orchard floors Bearing gifts of plenitude, for The apples of the Lord were rotten to the core Temptation, My ambassador Attila, Herod, Pharisees and Nero All begged of Me for more Down dark steps of history I waged a war with a Heaven I could not see? Beyond My wildest fantasies Throwing sixes over deadly sin I traded those who played to win Skin for precious skin? And that that wormed within Staining the reams of revelation Etching ever-afters in accursed verse The limpid rags of resurrection From papal parapets were to dirt dispersed Desire, the flyers Spread Hell throughout their souls And higher the fire The more I held control Last edited by Last Child of Ungoliant : 03-24-2005 at 06:35 PM.
