19 March 2009 tagged creed with Comments Off on what if
I can’t find the rhyme in all my reason
Lost sense of time and all seasons
Feel I’ve been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
Can’t sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I’ve seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you’ve been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
{Guitar Break}
I know I can’t hold the hate inside my mind
‘Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I’ll just ask a question
A lonely simple question
I’ll just ask one question
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?

I don’t know what you’re looking for
you haven’t found it baby, that’s for sure
you rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time
and this is not a case of lust, you see
it’s not a matter of you versus me
it’s fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it’s always me alone
And I’m losing my favourite game
you’re losing your mind again
I’m losing my baby
losing my favourite game
I only know what I’ve been king for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue
And I’m losing my favourite game
you’re losing your mind again
I’m losing my favourite game
you’re losing your mind again
I’m losing my baby
losing my favourite game
I’m losin my favourite game
You’re losing your mind again
I’ve tried
I’ve tried
But you’re still the same
I’m losing my baby
you’re losing a saviour and a saint

19 March 2009 tagged the calling with Comments Off on where ever you may go
So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I’m gone you’ll need love to light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own
If I could, then I would,
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I’ll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there’s someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love
I know now, just quite how,
My life and love may still go on
In your heart, in your mind, I’ll stay with you for all of time

19 March 2009 tagged the buggles with Comments Off on video killed the radio star
I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
and now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-a oh
You were the first one
Oh-a oh
You were the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone to far
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR
You are a radio star
Video killed the radio star
You are a radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
You are a radio star

19 March 2009 tagged bon jovi with Comments Off on wanted: dead or alive
It’s all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we’re wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I’d drive all night
Just to get back home
I’m a cowboy,
on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you’re alone all you do is think
I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, ’cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I’m standing tall
I’ve seen a million faces
And I’ve rocked them all
I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
I’m a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

19 March 2009 tagged bon jovi with Comments Off on i’ll be there for you
I guess this time you’re really leaving I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love it’s suicide
You say you’re cried a thousand rivers
And now you’re swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won’t save me anymore
Now I’m praying to God you’ll give me one more chance, girl
I’ll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I’ll be there for you
I’d live and I’d die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can’t say what love can do
I’ll be there for you
I know you know we’re had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well I can promise you tomorrow
But I can’t buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I’ll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I’ll be the wine
I’ll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I’ll be there for you
I’d live and I’d die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can’t say what love can do
I’ll be there for you
And I wan’t there when you were happy
I wasn’t there when you were down
I didn’t mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I’d seen you blow those candles out
I’ll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I’ll be there for you
I’d live and I’d die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can’t say what love can do
I’ll be there for you

19 March 2009 tagged blue oyster cult with Comments Off on (don’t fear) the reaper
All our times — have come
Here but now — they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind
the sun or the rain So come on baby, (don’t fear the reaper)
Take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
We’ll be able to fly, (don’t fear the reaper)
Cause baby, I’m your man
Baby, I’m your man
Valentine — is done
Here but now — they’re gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
Another everyday (we can be like they are)
So come on baby (don’t fear the reaper)
Take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
Cause baby, I’m your man
Baby, I’m your man
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
So come on baby (don’t fear the reaper)
Take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
Baby, I’m your man
Baby, I’m your man

19 March 2009 tagged bad religion with Comments Off on 21st century (digital boy)
I can’t believe it
the way you look sometimes
like a trampled flag on a city street
oh yeah
and I don’t want it
the things you’re offering me
symbolized bar code quick id
oh yeah
I’m a 21st century digital boy
I don’t know how to live (or read)
but I’ve got a lot of toys
my daddy is lazy middle class intellectual
my mommy’s on valium
she’s so ineffectual
ain’t life a mystery?
I can’t explain it
the things they’re saying to me
going yayayayayayaya
oh yeah
I tried to tell you about no control
but now I really don’t know
and then you told me how bad you had to suffer
is that really all you have to offer?

19 March 2009 tagged ash with Comments Off on a life less ordinary
I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon
Enveloped heart, and the air is cool
Put on your dress, white Goddess
And Settle in as the weather folds
In the slow haze of the afternoon
Swaying hips, made like a gun
Blackest sails, the most beautiful
Star….
In the world, in the air, on my tongue
Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun
So….
Take me in your arms again, lead me in my dreams again
So…..
What is it worth?, I’ll sell my soul, what is it worth?
Only you know
You were conceived in my heart, came like a dream
To save me from my mortality
Put on your dress, white Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
Our lives will be entwined, even when I die
You’ll see me through ’till the end of time
No earthly bride, the most beautiful
Star….
In the world, in the air, on my tongue
Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun
So….
Take me in your arms again, lead me in my dreams again
So…..
What is it worth?, I’ll sell my soul, what is it worth?
Only you know

19 March 2009 tagged ani difranco with Comments Off on untouchable face
Think i’m going for a walk now
I feel a little unsteady
I don’t want noone to follow me
Except maybe you
I could make you happy, you know
If you weren’t already
I could do a lot of things
And i do
Tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
She’s not really my type
But i think you two are forever
And i hate to say it but you’re perfect together
So fuck you
And your untouchable face
Fuck you
For existing in the first place
And who am i
That i should be vying for your touch
Who am i
Bet you can’t even tell me that much
2:30 in the morning
My gas tank will be empty soon
Neon sign on the horizon
Rubbing elbows with the moon
Safe haven of the sleepless
Where the deep fryer’s always on
Radio is counting down the top 20 country songs
Out on the porch the fly strip is
Waving like a flag in the wind
You know i really don’t look forward
To seeing you again soon.
You look like a photograph of yourself
Taken from far far away
I won’t know what to do
I won’t know what to say
So fuck you…
See you and i’m so perplexed
What was i thinking
What will i think of next
Where can i hide
In the back room there’s a lamp
That hangs over the pool table
And when the fan is on it swings
Gently side to side
There’s a changing constellation
Of balls as we are playing
I see orion and say nothing
The only thing i can think of saying
Is fuck you…
