Here's mine....



I took a flag to a pawn shop.. for a broken guitar
I took a flag to a pawn shop.. how much is that guitar?
I took a flag to a pawn shop.. got me that guitar
What's a flag in a pawn shop to me?

I saw a man on the TV., in a mask with a gun
A man on the TV.. he had a ten year old son.
I saw a man on the TV., his son had a gun, and he said that he's coming for me.

I never loved the soldier, until there was a war
or thought about tomorrow, till my baby hit the floor.
I only talk to God, when somebody's about to die.
I never cherished freedom, freedom never cries

I wrote a song for a dead man, to settle my soul
A song for a dead man, now I'll never grow old.
A song for a dead man, and now I'm out in the cold..
what's a song to a dead man to me?

I never loved the soldier, until there was a war
or thought about tomorrow, till my baby hit the floor.
I only talk to God, when somebody's about to die.
I never cherished freedom, freedom never cries.

You can cry for her, die for her
Lay down your life for her, kiss and wave goodbye to her..
anything at all.

There's a baby on the doorstep, whaling away..
There's a baby on the doorstep.. longing for the day..
there's a baby on the doorstep..
who'd give his life to take.. a flag to a pawn shop.
May he forget why he is crying someday.

FIGURATIVE THEATRE


In the shallow holes
of a thousand eyes
in the knee-deep graves
of future survivors
The fleshless guests live off
children of the past
Their aging fingers cast the
Shadow of Death

(Chorus)
Their razor sharp tongues
invite to relax
as they slip the skin of your
eyelids back
invasive spectators
get into the act

with roses and candles
silver knives and spoons
persona read women dance with
priests on a side road
your vision perspectives are
turning to stone
cabaret slide show starts
shooting their loads
Act one is the end, the show
now begins

(chorus)
Breath ballet prancers spin on
Porcelain backbone
a child's muddled cry turns into
hilarity
ungracious freeloaders leave their
dead on a doorstep
Flowers of doom bloom in prosperity
luxuries of past days are
luxuries of our days
luxuries of past days
luxuries of our days

shall i tell u how i feel
would u consider it too be real?
i'm so afraid to tell you
afraid i'll lose my pride.

whenever i see u, i smile all inside
round and round go my emotions
just like a compass on the north pole.
this feeling is so new to me,
i can't even tell my best friend.

when i look your way
i can't look into your eyes.
i might act like a little girl,
i might start giggling and want to hide.

i'm afraid to reveal this attraction
i'm afraid to let you look inside.

my heart beats out loud
when ever your near
maybe it's just a physical thing
i don't know what it is i feel.

i like the way your voice sounds
and the way you smile
the smell of your cologne intoxicates
my body, and you intoxicate my mind.
i like the kindest you exhibit
and the wonderful smiles u share.

i'm entranced by your sexiness
and the way u style ur hair,
i attracted to the realness
that really seems to be you.

i'm afraid to tell what's going on with me.
i'm afraid to let you look inside.

if i told you what i'm feeling,
if i put my pride aside
what words would give me
what words would you say?
would you find a way to tell your not caught up
in the same way.

how can it tell u
how can i expresss it
what i'm feeling inside
i'm afraid to let go and tell you
i guess it's just a matter of pride...

i want Jesus to walk with me
i want Jesus to walk with me
all along my pilgrim's journey
i want Jesus to walk with me

in my trials, Lord walk with me
in my trials, Lord walk with me
when my heart is almost breaking
i want Jesus to walk with me

when i'm in trouble, walk with me
when i'm in trouble, walk with me
when my head, is bowed in sorrow
i want Jesus
i want Jesus
i want Jesus to walk with me.

Glory Days - Pulp

Come and play the tunes of glory -
raise your voice in celebration
of the days that we have wasted in the cafe
in the station.
And learn the meaning of existence in fortnightly instalments.
Come share this golden age with me
in my single room apartment.
And if it all amounts to nothing -
it doesn't matter,
these are still our glory days.

Oh my face is unappealing and my thoughts are unoriginal.
I did experiments with substances
but all it did was make me ill
and I used to do the I Ching
but then I had to feed the meter.
Now I can't see into the future
but at least I can use the heater.
Oh it doesn't get much better than this
cos this is how we live our glory days.
Oh and I could be a genius if I just put my mind to it
and I,
I could do anything if only I could get round to it.
Oh we were brought up on the Space-Race,
now they expect you to clean toilets.
When you've seen how big the world is,
how can you make do with this?
If you want me I'll be sleeping in -
sleeping in throughout these glory days.
These glory days can take their toll,
so catch me now
before I turn to gold.
Yeah we'd love to hear your story
just as long as it tells us where we are -
that where we are is where we're meant to be.
Oh come on make it up yourself -
you don't need anybody else.
And I promise I won't sell these days to anybody else in the world but you.
No-one but you.
No-one but you
No-one but you

I'm not aspirin to be any lower or higher than,
I get equal as in eye to eye again
I'm the truth, I'm complicated I'm all ready but try again
I've got to die once to never ever die again
And what I believe within I engrave within my skin
And one thang that I ain't is a saint without a sin
How could there be a now if there never was a then?
That is unbalanced just like the yang without the yen
I am distinguishably deeper as opposed to the paper-thin
And I breathe oxygen, and you rhymin bout rocks again
You stagnant, standing still enough to feel the world spin
I'm beginning to smell the end in the path of the blowing wind
Hopefully I'm fortunate enough to spend forever with a friend
I'm slow dancing with destiny every day until then
When I first got my big break I said that I would never bend
And discredit my character to keep up or contend
And my belief beat baseline secrete such a special blend
I am not like them at all and I cannot pretend
I am not like you at all and I cannot pretend.

Rock! Roll! Roll! Roll! Roll!
Well every time that you're allowed to see the morning sun
It's a reminder that your life ain't done
Wake Up and Live
Wake Up and Live RIGHT NOW

I keep believing I can fly find my reasons why
The only way you'll ever earn to die is if you live
You Got To Live RIGHT NOW

And don't you let nobody tell you what you can do
Ain't another minute promised to you
You Better Live
I Said Live RIGHT NOW

You got to cherish every moment, carelessness is a crime
Revelation gon' be right on time
You Better Live
You Better Live RIGHT NOW

Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir
LIVE! I Said Live RIGHT NOW
Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir
LIVE! I Said Live RIGHT NOW

And to the hustlers grindin' on the block every day
I know sometimes it got to be that way
You Got To Live
You Got To Live RIGHT NOW

And every day is like a test you say you doing you best
And you see a nigga dying for less
Try To Live
Start Livin' RIGHT NOW

And all that in and out of jail is getting old
Let this song here save your soul
Brother Live
Start Livin' RIGHT NOW

I bet you never thought you would hear it from me
But I done change from how I used to be
I Want To Live
I Want To Live RIGHT NOW

You guys are too deep for me...

I'm not a virgin so I know I'll make Madonna scream
LL Cool J



That's the lyric runnin' through my head right now.

thank u..... this journey does sometimes get tough... i feel you...
i need him too.. especially during the have u put these words to music?

tamaranow said:

Uh, someone else already has.

When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no debutante.
You asked me what's my pleasure, "A movie or a measure"?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming.
Dreaming is free.
I don't want to live on charity.
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity.
People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming.
Beat feet, walking a two-mile.
Meet me, meet me at the turnstile.
I never met him, I'll never forget him.
Dream dream: even for a little while.
Dream dream: filling up an idle hour.
Fade away, radiate.
I sit by and watch the river flow.
I sit by and watch the traffic go.

Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and hold.
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming.
Dreaming is free.

I love this song.

It's the cart that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in...

-I Grieve by Peter Gabriel

More than this...
There is something out there...

More Than This by Peter Gabriel

might be what u need.....

i see the sorrow in your eyes
i know it's pain u try to hide
i can see thru the disguises
the hurt hides behind ur eyes.
always being the strong one
afraid to show ur heart

if you'd let me hold you
i'd never let you let go
you can come to me
don't hold back
go a head and let go
bury your head in my shoulders
cry the river from ur eyes.

i saw u last night
a smile was on ur face
but i saw the real u
when you turned and walked away
i know life has not been kind
i know what u've been thru
come closer so i can hold u
don't hold back, go a head and cry.

cry to me my lonely friend
whisper your sorrows
whisper them in my ears
no one else will know the sadness
deep inside ur heart
i'm here for you my darling
i just might be what u need.

cry to me my lonely friend
whisper your sorrows
until the night time ends
i'll color you a rainbow
when the morning comes
it's me here for you,
purge the pain from ur heart.

sometimes smiles and laughter
stand in front of pools of tears
just let me hold u my darling
tell me not to let you go
you can come to me my sweet one
don't have to hold back
just go a head and let go...

Nat King Cole
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or Ill never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before its begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or Ill never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

What Im' really feeling right now....

Love
Sometimes It's am empty word
Love
Will I ever be heard?
Love
4 letters one after the next
Love
Is it really the best?
Love
Am not sure what it is
Is it a hug, a kiss, something more?
I want to open the door .....to love

Things holding me back
From the negativity attacks
Who really loves me , Who Do I love
If anyone at all
Love. Am I going to find it. Is it going to find me?

I wish I could go back to being in your arms
Typing this on the computer and tears falling inside
Why can't you come back to me
For one more ride

I never got to say goodbye

Holding me, caressing my hair
Why did you leave, did you need to go there?

Why can't you come back and say hello
Tears falling down my face
Have I already fallen from grace?


um.....will finish this later

My anaconda don't want none
Unless you got buns, hun!

Until Tomorrow Then by Ed Harcourt

If the world did end
Would you be my apocalyptic friend?
Until tomorrow then
If the skies did fall
Would you pick up my last call?
Until tomorrow then
Navigate to the moon
Flee the planet this afternoon
Until tomorrow then
With the waves rising high
We'd be the first most likely to die
Until tomorrow then

I guess it's you I miss
'Cause I just stare at the ceiling
My stomach knots and twists
You've created this feeling
And I may be out of style
But do you know what true love is?
I'll make this all so worthwhile
So let's rise above this
Rise above this

So I dug a tunnel underground
And waited patiently to be found
Until tomorrow then
All my ideas make them laugh
But in the end you will see they're not so daft
And we'll have sorrow to spend

I guess it's you I miss
'Cause I just stare at the ceiling
My stomach knots and twists
You've created this feeling
I may be out of style
But do you know what true love is?
I'll make this all so worthwhile
So let's rise above this
Let's rise above this
Let's rise above this

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you know you can't tune it
but It's all right
That is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

Always know sometimes think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think a "No" will mean a "Yes"
but it's all wrong
that is I think I disagree

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
strawberry fields forever
