Cough Syrup by Young and the Giant

Thank goodness I have my music! "Life's too short to even care at all...A dark world aches for a splash of the sun..."

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh

These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa

Pay For What You Get by Dave Matthews Band

Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Pay your dues, and your debts
Pay your respect, everybody tells you
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
Has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you
I've lost mine

Words, words, words, have you heard
A bird in hand is much better than,
Any number free to wander
Fly away...stay
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you
I'm okay, I'm okay
Surprise, surprise you pay for what you get
You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
has she really lost her...

Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you I'm okay I'm okay
How are you?
You pay for what you get
Pay for what you get..oh..oh...

Us and Them by Pink Floyd

Perfect song for today. "And the lines on the map, Moved from side to side..."

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men

Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)

Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who

Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about

With (with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?

Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things on my mind

For the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died

Boss DJ by Sublime

Perfect Sunday morning driving song! "There's a steel train comin' through, I would take it if I could, And I would not lie to you because Sunday mornin' soon will come, When things will be much easier to say...It's so nice, I want to hear the same song twice..."

There's a steel train comin' through 
I would take it if I could
And I would not lie to you 
because Sunday mornin' soon will come

When things will be much easier to say
Upon the microphone like a boss D.J.
But I won't walk up upon the sea like it was dry land
Boss D.J. ain't nothin' but a man
No trouble, no fuss, I know why

It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
It's so nice don't wanna hear the same song twice

Rumors are spreading all over my town
But it's just stones and sticks
It's on the microphone is where I go to get my fix

Just let the lovin' take a hold 'cause it will if you let it
I'm funky not a junkie, but I know where to get it
No trouble, no fuss, I know why

It's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
It's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice

Ooee girl
Ooee girl
Ooee girl

Ooee girl, and there really ain't no time to waste
Really ain't no time to hate
Ain't got no time to waste, time to hate
Really ain't no time to make the time go away

So Mister D.J. don't stop the music
I wanna know
Are you feelin' the same way too

I wanna rock it with you girl
You girl, you girl, ooh
Don't stop

'Cause it's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
It's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice

Nowadays all the songs on the radio, all
All drive me crazy

Ode To Sad Clown by Joe Purdy

"You know that ones about me, I've been thinking about leaving town."

Darling I've been down and out
Ever since you left town
I ain't been the same no matter how I try
Sometimes we don't get to choose
The ones who wear these walking shoes
I'm just a poor boy with the blues
No I ain't nothin' new

I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup
And I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
I'm gonna play with the tragedies
Singing good time harmonies
B Wright don't you let me down
Play that one called sad clown
You know that ones about me
I've been thinking about leaving town

Well sunshine she came out today
And it don't matter anyways
Cause I still see the water 
That's drippin' down my door
I used to hear the children play
I used to hear the birds sing
One day they just stopped
I don't hear them anymore

I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup
And I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
I'm gonna play with the tragedies
Singing good time harmonies
B Wright don't you let me down
Play that one called sad clown
You know that ones about me
I've been thinking about leaving town

Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind
Doin' my best to regret these sins
Lord would you forgive me if you know that I'm gonna do it again
Its not that I'm not sorry Lord, its just that I'm not strong
Oh cause when that woman looks at me I cant remember right from wrong

I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup
And I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
I'm gonna play with the tragedies
Singing good time harmonies
B Wright don't you let me down
Play that one called sad clown
You know that ones about me
I've been thinking about leaving town

Sad clown, sad clown
Watch the wheels roll around
Take that money into town
Go buy a drink
Sad clown, sad clown
Always with that same frown
Circus train got you down, 
You're thinking bout leaving town

Secret by Joe Purdy

"I am your secret babe, watch me unfold..."

I am your secret babe
Watch me unfold
Dancing in these streets so late
Nobody knows
Nobody knows us

The first time I looked at you
You looked at me
swimmin' in this water so cool
Just like a river queen
Just like a river queen

And I don't remember falling asleep
Must have been holding on tight
And all I can think of and all I can dream
is dancing with you in red lights

The sunshine state is closed
Look at the water on the road
And I'm gonna get in my boat
And to you I will float
And to you I will float

And I don't remember falling asleep
Must have been holding on tight
And all I can think of and all I can dream
is dancing with you in red lights

I am your secret babe
Watch me unfold
Dancing in these streets so late
Nobody knows
Nobody knows us

You Can Tell Georgia by Joe Purdy

Joe Purdy kick...still just love it! "And you can tell Georgia that my thinking is clear, And I've been thinking that I need you near..."

You can tell Georgia that you were wrapped up in my arms last night
And I was holding you like you were mine
You can tell Georgia anytime

And you can tell Georgia that my thinking is clear
And I've been thinking that I need you near
You can tell Georgia I was here
Oh you can tell Georgia I was here

Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up dear
I said no

You can tell Georgia if I see him around
Honey I'm gonna knock him down
Oh everyone be down
Oh if you see him again
Oh you can tell Georgia where I am
Oh you can tell Georgia where I am
I wish you would.

Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up you said to me
Am I waking you up sweet dear

I said no

I wish you would...
And I'll be waiting...

You can tell Georgia I'll be waiting

He's Gone by The Grateful Dead

Perfect song to hear on a long ride! "Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange, Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain..."

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said, 
Steal your face right off your head

Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, he's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride,
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile

Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, he's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone

Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything
A knife in the back and more of the same

Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head

He's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, he's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, he's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone

Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back (he's gone for good)
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back

Some Devil by Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds

This song feel right, right now. "Feel heavy like floating, At the bottom of the sea...I'm broken don't break me..."

One last kiss one only 
Then I'll let you go 
Hard for you I've fallen 
But you can't break my fall 
I'm broken don't break me 
When I hit the ground 

Some devil some angel 
Has got me to the bones 
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever 
Is such a long and lonely time 

Too drunk and still drinking 
It's just the way I feel 
It's alright
Is what you told me
Cause what we had was so beautiful 
Feel heavy like floating 
At the bottom of the sea 

You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time

Some devil some angel
Has got me to the bones
I wish, I wish I was dead and you breathing 
Just so that you could know 

You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Such a long and lonely time

Stuck inside of me

Brain Damage and Eclipse by Pink Floyd

"I'll see you on the dark side of the moon..." Love my Aunt with all my heart! 

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paperboy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Let My Love Open The Door by Pete Townshend

No one can beat the original version of this song! "When everything feels all over, Everybody seems unkind, I'll give you a four leaf clover, Take all worry out of your mind..."

When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

When everything feels all over
Everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four-leaf clover
Take all worry out of your mind

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart, to your heart

I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say

Let my love open the door
It's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love
That's my love

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Square One by Tom Petty

I could listen to this song over and over and over and over..."Had to find some higher ground , Had some fear to get around, You can't say what you don't know..."

Had to find some higher ground 
Had some fear to get around 
You can't say what you don't know 
Later on won't work no more

Last time through I hid my tracks 
So well I could not get back 
Yeah my way was hard to find 
Can't sell your soul for piece of mind

Square one, my slate is clear 
Rest your head on me, my dear 
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears 
Took a long time... to get back here

Try so hard to stand alone 
Struggle to see past my nose 
Always had more dogs than bones 
I could never wear those clothes

It's a dark victory 
You won and you also lost 
Told us you were satisfied 
But it never came across

Square one, my slate is clear
Rest your head on me, my dear
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears
Took a long time... to get back here

Square one, my slate is clear
Rest your head on me, my dear
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears
Took a long time... to get back here

Square one, my slate is clear
Rest your head on me, my dear
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears
And took a long time... to get back here

Bird Song by The Grateful Dead

Love this song. Love that I have such a great life and so many memories to share with my people who also love this song! "Don't you cry anymore... Dry your eyes on the wind..."

All I know is something like a bird within her sang
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain

If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by

Laugh in the sunshine
Sing, cry in the dark
Fly through the night

Don't cry now
Don't you cry
Don't you cry any more
La da da da

Sleep in the stars
Don't you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind!!!!!!
La da da da da da

All I know is something like a bird within her sang
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain

Play with Fire by the Rolling Stones

CALLING KARMA!!! KARMA! KARMA! KARMA I have someone for you to do your work on! "Don't play with me, cause you're playing with fire..."

Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me, cause you're playing with fire!!!!

Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me, cause you're playing with fire

Your old man took her diamond's and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me, cause you're playing with fire

Now you've got some diamonds and you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step, girl
Or start living with your mother
So don't play with me, cause you're playing with fire
So don't play with me, cause you're playing with fire

Time to Move On by Tom Petty

Love my brother. My heart breaks for him when his is so broken..."But under my feet baby, the grass is growing...It's time to move on, it's time to get going..."

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector

Broken skyline, which way to love land
Which way to something better
Which way to forgiveness
Which way do I go

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenalin
Like breakin' up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

I Am Mine by Pearl Jam

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's East and there's West and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in-between is mine
I am mine

And the feeling, it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind
All the innocents broken with lies
Significance, between the lines
We may need to hide

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We're all different behind the eyes
There's no need to hide

Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Night
Falls and I'am alone
Skin
Yeah chilled me to the bone
You
Turned and you ran
Oh yea
Oh slipped
Right from my hand

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
As a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
Blue on black

Blind
Oh now I see!!!
Truth
Lies and in between
Wrong
Can't be undone
Slipped
From the tip of your tongue

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
As a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
Blue on black

One Sweet World by Dave Matthews Band

Happy Earth Day!!! One sweet world, Around a star is spinning, One sweet world, And in her breath we're singing, And here we will rest in peace..."

Nine planets round the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

If green should slip to grey
But our hearts still bloody be
And if mountains crumble away
And the river dry Would it stop the stepping feet

Oh let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury here
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we can rest safely

One sweet world
Around a star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath we are singing
And here we will rest in peace!!!

Brian Wilson by Barenaked Ladies

"Call it impulsive, Call it compulsive, Call it insane, But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop..."

Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, Call it compulsive
Call it insane
But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop

It's a matter of instinct
It's a matter of conditioning and a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's Dog
Ring a bell and I'll salivate
How'd you like that?
Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue

'Cause right now I'm lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did

So I'm lying here
Just staring at the ceiling tiles
And I'm thinking about, oh what to think about
Just listening and relistening
To Smiley Smile
And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought

Because I'm lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am Lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, whoa

And if you want to find me
I'll be out in the sandbox
Just wondering where the hell all the love has gone
I'm playing my guitar and building
Castles in the sun, oh oh oh
And singing "Fun, Fun, Fun"

Lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, whoa

I had a dream
That I was three hundred pounds
And though I was very heavy
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me

Because I'm lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, yeah

Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive
You can call it insane, oh oh
But when I'm surrounded
I just can't stop

Given to Fly by Pearl Jam

"He floated back down becuase he wanted to share his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere...    And he still gives his love he just gives it away...the love he receives is the love that he saves..."

He could've tuned in tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor waiting locked out
He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings "Hey look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh power oh

He's flying
Whole
High wide, oh

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands!!!!!!!!

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

High flying
Oh, oh
High flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh

Fearless by Pink Floyd

Sunday Funday song! "You pick the place and I'll choose the time, And I'll climb the hill in my own way, Just wait a while for the right day..."

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Chiding
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day

And as I rise above
The tree-line and the clouds
I look down
Hear the sound
Of the things you said today

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning

And who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day

And as you rise above
The fear-lines in his brow
You look down
Hear the sound
Of the faces in the crowd

Chloe Dancer & Crown Of Thorns Toronto by Pearl Jam

Chloe don't know better

Chloe is just like me, only beautiful

A couple of years' difference

But those lessons never learned

And you know?

Chloe dances tables in the French Quarter

She's always been given

So I can't always make her laugh

But I tried to say

And I won't forget

The time spent layin' by her side

The time spent layin' by her side

Dreams like this must die

And a dream like this must die

Dream like this must

--------------------------------------------

You ever heard the story of Mr. Faded Glory? 

Say he who rides a pony must someday fall 

Oh I was talkin' to my alter, life is what you make it 

And if you make it death well rest your soul away 

Away, away, yeah child 

It's a broken kind of feeling 

She'd have to tie me to the ceiling 

A bad moon's a comin' better say your prayers, child

I wanna tell you that I love you but does it really matter?!!

I just can't stand to see you dragging down, again 

Again, my friend again, oh yeah

So I'm singing 

This is my kinda love

It's the kind that moves on 

It's the kind that leaves me alone, 

And this is my kinda love

It's the kind that moves on 

It's the kind that leaves me alone

I used to treat you like a lady 

Now you're my substitute teacher

This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight, yeah

I owe the man some money so I'm turnin over honey

See Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin' time, oh yeah

And this is my kinda love

It's the kind that moves on

It's the kind that leaves me alone, yes it does

And this is my kinda love

It's the kind that moves on

It's unkind and it's unkind and

It'll leave me alone, yeah

Like a crown of thorns

It's all who you know, yeah

So don't burn your bridges woman

Cause someday, yeah 

So I'm singing...

This is my kinda love

It's the kind that moves on

It's the kind that leaves me alone, yeah

And this is my kinda love

It's the kind that moves on...

Wildflowers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

What a hard loss to the music world. Beautiful version of this song. "You belong somewhere you feel free..." 

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worries
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free

Long As I Can See The Light performed by Chris Cornell

This is just beautiful and oh so very sad..."Long as I can see the light..."

Put a candle in the window 
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Though I'm goin', goin' 
I'll be comin' home soon 
Long as I can see the light

Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift awhile
Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry
Long as I can see the light

Guess I've got that old travelin' bone 
'Cause this feeling won't leave alone
But I won't, won't 
Be losin' my way 
Long as I can see the light

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah

Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Though I'm goin', goin'
I'll be comin' home soon
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light

Promises by Eric Clapton

Love the story behind all of Eric Claptons' songs. Love that he tells it like it is..."How could we know that promises end..."

I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me

You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
And your lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

I don't care what you do at night
Oh, I don't care how you get you delights
We'll leave it alone and just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me

I got a problem, can you relate
I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end

La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

I tried to love for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
I'd still love you if you'd just love me

I got a problem, can you relate
I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end

La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Wohoo, la la la la la la la

Little Wing by Derek and the Dominos

Well, she's walking through the clouds,

With a circus mind that's running wild,

Butterflies and Zebras,

And Moonbeams and fairy tales.

That's all she ever thinks about.

Riding with the wind.



When I'm sad, she comes to me,

With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.

It's alright, she says it's alright,

Take anything you want from me,

Anything.

Fly on little wing.

Bell Bottom Blues by Eric Clapton

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

It's all wrong, but it's all right
The way that you treat me baby
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
You won't find a better loser

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it 'cause
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye
I'm sure we're gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it 'cause
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

Closer I am to FineThe Indigo Girls

Love this! "The best thing you have ever done for me is to help me take my life less seriously..."

I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all, yeah

Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores

And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine, yeah

I stopped by the bar at three A.M.
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
And I went in seeking clarity

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountain
Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the work out
We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine, yeah

Cough Syrup by Young and The Giant

"A dark world aches for a splash of the sun..."

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa

Guava Jelly/This Train by Sublime

"This train is bound for glory, this train..."

Yeah...
Baby I really want to know
I think you should stop your cryin'
Use my 'kerchief to dry your eyes
You know I love you
Ruby, here I am
A rub upon my belly like some Guava Jelly
Damsel, here I am
A rub upon my belly like some Guava Jelly

This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train
Hear me talkin' about
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train, will carry no unholy stone

That the builder refused
Shall always be the head cornerstone
Stone that the builder refused
Shall always be the head cornerstone

You're a builder baby
Here I am a stone
Don't mean to confuse it girl
'Cause the things you should use
Are the things we should choose
And you hear me
Hear what I say

This Train, Bound For Glory
This Train
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train, carry no unholy
'Cause I
I just can't be sad...

Yesterday by the Beatles

Cancer fucking sucks! Love to my Aunts. "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away..."

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

Every Rose Has It's Thorn (live 1993) by Poisin

My kids know every word of this song becuase I love to belt it out! I sound so horrible that they love me for it:) "Like a knife that cuts you, the wound heals, But the scar, that scar remains...Every rose has it thorn..."

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did the words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you, the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways

But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife I guess

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
