It's a little early but....

In these shoes? ~ Kirsty Maccoll

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said let’s make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said in these shoes?
I don’t think so
I said honey, let’s do it here.

So I’m sitting at a bar in guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said I’ve got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I’ll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day.
I said in these shoes?
No way, jose
I said honey, let’s stay right here.

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo


Then I met an englishman
Oh he said
Won’t you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive.
I said in these shoes?
I doubt you’d survive.
I said honey, let’s do it!

Let's stay right here

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo

i got choked up listening to this the other day

Pink - "Dear Mr. President"
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

Wow... I think I'ma go download that now.

let me know what you think!

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ain’t nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to
The top of the hill
But since we’re on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
But don’t let that stand in your way
'cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since we’re only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile

Isn’t it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It’s just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time
Isn't really real
It's just your point of view
How does it feel for you
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race

Some kind of lovely ride
I'll be sliding down
I'll be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride

Isn't it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life
Is enjoying the passage of time

Ohhh.. Ohhh..

Life doesn't promise a bed of roses
Or white knights
Fields of emotions I'm trapped in darkness
Why me
Save me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
Life doesn't promise a bed of roses

Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Ohhh.. Ohh..

They paint a picture of perfect nowhere blue skies
Within every lie there's a web of comfort
For them
Not me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
They paint you a picture of perfect nowhere


I said now
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Where do we go from here?
I wish I would disappear
I'm a lonely soul
So far from home

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me, help me
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I.. I said
Lightening strikes, I said lightening strikes
Floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

When the night feels my song- Bedouin Soundclash

I'm on the rocky road
Heading down off the mountain slope
And as my steps echo echo,
louder than before
Another day is done,
say goodbye to the setting sun
See what i found,
Turn back to the ground
Just like before

And Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

Into the undergrowth,
Twist and turn on a lonely road
In the twighlight
the day turns to night
And i'm alone

And when the light has let
I'm not sure of my every step
Follow the wind that pushes me west
Back to my bed

And Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day

When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

you go girl!!

Natisse said:

hope youre all good babe

I'm free and I'm happy
I am free from your hatred
I've parted from the part that I participated in
So I'm free it was easy
I know nothing of your hatred
I've known and shone the light and the darkness abated
So I'm free
run skip jump play my little boy is happy
Look he's smiling because he knows no fear..hear...
My mommy is calling me and I'm running thru the fields
Because I'm free
Every day in every way I'm getting better and better
And better and better and better and better etc
Because there is no fear
Here why I can't tell you now
Cause I'm runnin' through the wood and
I just jumped a little bit higher
Cause I'm free and that's the way he created me to be
I have turned from your hatred I turned on the light
And there was nothing there that waited to get me
This ain't a song about that
This is a song about this

Do you wanna do it lets it get it on
but how you gonna act this time around
before I take it off down to the skin
lets get an understanding
Girl you didn't understand my philosophy
you did not understand
you just ran away from me
Oh I miss you baby
ohh I miss you baby, I miss you
you're the best I ever had
You're so bad baby
but I must like you like that
although you won't let me control this or that
contantly playing this tit for tat
Ah now I see you're coming straight to the point
you say the more you get baby
ah the more you want me
yeah darling you're not waisting my time
what I see baby is so hard to find
although you've been all over town baby
having your affairs I still have to accept you back
angel though you're promiscuious I don't mind a bit cause you're still the greatest lay even when you're miles away
Girl if you run away again
surely my heart would never mend
don't tell me the love we made
was just for old times sake
staying up waiting for you to come home at night
was just so hard to take
she said that pain might never mend
so let's be sometime lovers
oh baby that's when my poor heart broke up
(Chorus) Well if you got a girl and you want her for your wife you got to treat her good and love her all your life.

"all the way around" by marvin gaye

Big daddy said it's o.k. holding out for love
Don't like it much but that's the way it goes
Big talker, thrill stalker, sitting on the time
Deciding every day who is next in line
Sick bitch where's your head looking for a lover
Sick of all the chills time for another

I believed you, and I believed you, I believed you

Bend down lower put your head on my lap
Don't you know that's where it's at?
Everybody's coming, everyone but me
'Cause they don't give me nothin', see?
Trip fit, go ahead, kiss me again
I always like it when it ends

I believed you, and I believed you, I believed you

Play it cool now, and then hit me hard
And don't ever be late
Hesitation rising, 'cause that's what you do
Well I'm full of it, too

Cause I believed you, and I believed you, I believed you

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?

Come on, come on down,
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax, relax, relax
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

When I was a child, I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I’ve got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.

[guitar solo]

I have become comfortably numb.

OK, OK, OK
Just a little pin prick.
There’ll be no more, aaaaahhhhh,
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up, stand up, stand up.
I do believe it's working good.
That’ll keep you going for the show.
Come on, it’s time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look, but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child has grown, the dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb.

Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums - A Perfect Circle

[Heavy Breathing]

Oh! (repeat and fade)

Don't fret precious I'm here
Step away from the window (step away from the window)
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth
And choice and other poison devils.
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)

Oh! (repeat and fade)

Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)

Oh! (repeat and fade)

[Indistinguished Yelling]

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Go back to sleep

Go to sleep [x14]

Go back to sleep (Oh!)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Oh! Counting bodies like sheep...)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep

I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one and the same, I must isolate you, isolate and save you from yourself.

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

Take a good look at it
Look at it now
Might be the last time you'll
Have a go round
I'll let you touch it if you'd
Like to go down
I'll let you go further
If you take the southern route
Don't go too fast
Don't go too slow
You've got to let your body flow
I like 'em attentive
And I like 'em in control

Chorus:
Baby it's yours
All yours
If you want it tonight
I'll give you the red light special
All through the night
Baby it's yours
All yours
If you want it tonight
Just come through my door
Take off my clothes
And turn on the red light

I know that you want me I can
See it in your eyes
You might as well be honest 'cause the
Body never lies
Tell me your secrets and I'll
I'll tell you mine
I'm feelin' quite sexy
And I want you for tonight
If I move too fast just let me know
'Cause it means you move too slow
I like some excitement
And I like a man that goes

Chorus

If you want me
Let me know it
I'll make time but
You've got to show it
If you need me
I want to see
But don't mistake me
I don't want you down on your knees
I need someone a real man
I need someone who understands
I'm a woman a real woman
I know just what I want
I know just who I am

Chorus

It’s good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give ’em a smile
It’s good to get high, and never come down
It’s good to be king of your own little town

Yeah the world would swing if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time

It’s good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You’re out there with winners, it’s good to be king

Yeah, I’ll be king when dogs have wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time

It’s good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it’s good to meet girls
A sweet little queen, who can’t run away
It’s good to be king, whatever it pays

Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time


and...

We gotta get to a higher place
And we gotta leave by night.
Before that river takes us down
We gotta find somewhe re that’s dry
We gotta run like we never run,
Or we’re gonna lose the light.
If we don’t get to a higher place and
Find somebody, can help somebody,
Might be nobody no more

We gotta get to a higher place
And I hope we all arrive together.
We gotta get to a higher place
If we wanna survive the weather

Well, I fool myself and I don’t know why
I thought we could ride this out
I was up all night making up my mind
But now I got my doubts
I got my eye on the waterline
Trying to keep my sense of humor
But if we don’t get to a higher place and
Find somebody, can help somebody,
Might be nobody no more

We gotta get to a higher place
And I hope we all arrive togeth er.
We gotta get to a higher place
If we wanna survive the weather

I remember walking with her in town,
Her hair was in the wind
I gave her my best kiss
She gave it back again
When I add up what I’ve left behind
I don ’t want to lose no more
But if we don’t get to a higher place and
Find somebody, can help somebody,
Might be nobody no more

Have U ever been so lonely
That U felt like U were the
Only one in this world?

Have U ever wanted 2 play
With someone so much U'd take
Any one boy or girl?

Anna Stesia come 2 me
Talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind
Tell me what U think of me
Praise me, craze me
Out this space and time

Between white and black, night and day
Black night seemed like the only way...
So I danced

Music late, nothing great (Music late, nothing great)
No way 2 differentiate (No way 2 differentiate)
I took a chance


Gregory looks just like a ghost
And then a beautiful girl the most
Wets her lip 2 say

"We could live 4 a little while
If U could just learn 2 smile
U and I could fly away, fly away."



Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
I mean the right way, I mean the only way
Perhaps U could show me, baby (show me, baby)

Anna Stesia come 2 me
Talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
If I was just closer 2 somethin' (closer)
Closer 2 your higher self
I don't know
Closer 2 heaven (Maybe) closer 2 God (closer to God)

Save me Jesus, I've been a fool
How could I forget that U are the rule
U are my God, I am Your child
From now on, 4 U I shall be wild
I shall be quick I shall be strong
I'll tell Your story, no matter how long (no matter how... no matter)

We're just a play in Your master plan
Now, my Lord I understand

(I understand)

Love is God, God is love
Girls and boys love God above

India Arie - Ready For Love

"Ready For Love"

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind

Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

I am ready
