So understand
Don’t waste your time always
Searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you’re living in the golden years

Dude, Iron Maiden ROCKS!!!!!! My band does a cover of that song. Too bad I'm not as good a singer as Bruce Dickenson.


"Well it breaks my heart to see you this way. The beauty and light were's it gone? And somebody told me, you were doing ok. Somehow I guess they were wrong." Flogging Molly- Whistles the Wind. this song brings a tear to my eye.


Oh, and

"Fat Bottomed Girls, You make the rockin' world go round...Get on your bikes and ride!!!"

This song is called beautiful by Christina Aguilera. Having a low opinon of myself, this song spoke out to me!

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay


And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

I saw some sad times I said
I'd had enough of heartbreak
I told myself that I could never fall again
Then sure as fate she came, I,
Just had to get to her and,
She gave me all her numbers, gave me all her names

Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
Maybe you'll hear this song
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true

We left and we went home,
Unbelievable,
I looked into her eyes, thunder in my heart,
And we were joined forever
Our bodies slick together,
I told her everything, confessions in the dark

Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
Maybe you'll hear this song
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true

She painted inspiration
Onto my fractured soul, I
Was never sure she knew how much she meant to me
She never trusted me, I know she didn't see
The night she left she killed the heart inside of me

Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
Maybe you'll hear this song
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true

Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
Maybe you'll hear this song
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true

I Ain't No Nice Guy

When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
I thought I was the chosen one
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
My shine wore off as time wore on
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite
I thought about the times when I turned my back & stalled

I ain't no nice guy after all

When I was young I was the only game in town
I thought I had it down for sure,
But time went by and I was lost in what I found
The reasons blurred, the way unsure
I thought that I was living life the only way
But as I saw that life was more than day to day
I turned around, I read the writing on the wall

I ain't no nice guy after all
I ain't no nice guy after all

In all the years you spend between your birth and death
You find there's lots of times you should have saved your breath
It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to fall

This is a good one for me some days



Basket Case

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned

Great thread

It's funny how this topic should come up, as just the other day I pulled the ol' guitar out of the case and starting strumming a few tunes, and as I was playing, I realized that every song in my repertoire had a memory behind it--and a woman's name and a woman's face. This particular song always reminds me of a special lady I once knew:

July, You're A Woman

I can't hold it on the road when you're sittin' right beside me
'Cause I'm drunk out of my mind merely from the fact that you are here
And I have not been known as the Saint of San Joaquin
And I'd just as soon right now pull on over to the side of the road
And show you what I mean

La la la dah dah dah dah dah
La la la dah dah dah dah dah
July, you're a woman
More than any one I've ever known

And I can't keep my eyes on the white line out before me
With your hand on my collar and you talking in my ear
And I've been running 'round with a Gypsy girl named Shannon
Daughter of the devil
Ain't it strange that I should mention her to you?
I haven't thought of her in years

~~John Stewart

So if you're ever in the downtown Main Avenue business district of Durango, Colorado, drop by the Marias Bookshop and browse the shelves. And if you should happen to see a beautiful Sicilian woman with gold-flecked eyes behind the counter, ask her if they have any John Stewart CDs and tell her I said "Hi" . . .

[earth_spirit]

BTW - in addition to being a talented musician, John Stewart is also a fantastic artist. Here's a sample of how he combines both music and art in his sketches . . .

taproot - I


I am seeing tunnel vision in a world thats dark and cold,
I cannot believe how much I've changed since the days of old,
I know it's temporary but I need to focus straight,
I cannot believe I lost control of my fate,
I need forgiveness from the people I truely care about,
I need support behind my back to help me spit it out I am gonna win,
I can't afford to blow this one,
I hate myself sometimes,
I love myself,
I need this way of life because it holds me.
contradictions the way of life happiness is wealthyness is healthy
now I've made it through those lies and deceit,
I think whats done is done and I can't complain anymore i am sure,
now that I've found myself again it feels great I can't believe
I'd lost control of my fate.

I LOVE GREEN DAY!!!!!

[grendel]

Here's one

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
blue skies from pain
can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail
a smile from a veil
do you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghost
hot ashes for trees
hot air for a cool breeze
cold comfort for change
did you exchange
a walk on part in a war
for a lead role in a cage

How I wish
How I wish you were here
We're just 2 lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
running over the same old ground
what have we found
the same old fears
Wish you were here


Wish you were here - Pink Floyd

No promises, no guarantees
When you come down here
You’re already on your knees
You wanna ride white lightnin’
Then sign your name
If you wanna dance with the devil
You gotta play his way, play the game

You gotta taste that sweetness
Cause you can’t say no
But are you ready for the nightmare
When you can’t let go
Like a soldier of fortune
When the money runs dry
You got rivers of bitter tears in your eyes

You wanna leave but you can’t let go
You wanna stop but you can’t say no
You’ll never laugh about it
You just can’t live without it
You had enough but you just want more
You never get what you’re lookin’ for
You’ll never laugh about it, never

You got both ends burning
You’re like a moth to a flame
You’re going off the rails
Like a runaway train
It’s a no win situation
And there’s no way out
And no one will ever hear you scream and shout

You wanna leave but you can’t let go
You wanna stop but you can’t say no
You’ll never laugh about it
You just can’t live without it
You had enough but you just want more
You never get what you’re lookin’ for
You’ll never laugh about it, never

Such a lonely road you ride
It’s not easy when you don’t know why
Such a heavy load you hide
You never leave no matter how you try

Run - he’s coming to claim you
Run - nowhere to hide away
Run - oh, you dance with danger
Run - oh, you gotta ride the...

White lightnin’ - on a dead end street
White lightnin’ - where the deadbeats meet
White lightnin’ - it’s a one-way ride
White lightnin’ - oh, there’s nowhere to hide

White lightning - can you feel it, can you feel it?
White lightning - it’s so dangerous
White lightning - no promises, no guarantees
White lightning - cause when you come down here, boy
You’re already on your knees
White lightnin’ - both ends burnin, like a moth to a flame

--> White Lightning from Def Leppard!

[angelinayorke]

Grendel~ I LOVE THAT SONG! Has brought a tear to my eye more than once!

[grendel]

I was surprised that noone mentioned it till now.

[angelinayorke]

I agree...Somehow it slipped my mind.
