This one breaks me down every single time.


you believe
you did nothing wrong
to lead us down this road
i wallow in shame, while you sit there on your throne
when i miss you, i cry
i miss you
i'm sorry i lied
if you can't forgive, and i can't forgive
you
we can't forgive

I'm Sorry
i left you no home,
but your words, are shattered by bones
when i miss you, i cry
i miss you
i'm sorry i lied
i'm sorry i lied

don't know if i want you to understand me
don't know if i want you to understand me
don't know if i want you to understand me
or go
don't know if i want you to see through me
i confess this heavy heart has me on my knees
dont know if i want you to see through me, or go
or go
or go
or go

cause it feels like static when you're here
static when you're gone
static everywhere
static everytime

love come and bless me
show me how it feels
been here time before and it wasnt real
don't know if i want you to understand me or go
can't blame you dove when the blame is mine
to love and let go was never the design
don't know if i want you to see through me or go

cause it feels like static when you're here
static when you're gone
static everywhere
static everytime
everytime

even as my demons leave
unsure if i want you to see through me
don't know if i want you to understand me or go
let go
go go.....

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green

You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape

No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

Wow!

I don't know if I like the cd version or the live version of it from the VH1 special. By the way, for those who don't know it's a Culture Club song. This is when they reunited.

It is very cathartic to hear these songs and just let it out. I agree. You feel cleansed after.

This group is truly the best wordsmiths of our time. These words touch my heart in a way others cannot:


It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
And when we are apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do I feel the pain
With or without you

Hey

Baby, I don't understand
Just why we can't be lovers
Things are getting out of hand
Tryin' to much, but baby we can win
Let it go, if you want me girl let me know
I am down, on my knees
I can't take it anymore

hoooooh, all right

Baby don't misunderstand,
(don't misunderstand)
What I'm trying to tell ya
In the corner of my mind, (corner of my mind)
Baby it feels like we're running out of time
Let it go (go) if you want me girl let me know
I am down on my knees, I can't take it anymore ohhhhh..

Tearin' up my heart and soul, when we're apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do I'll feel the pain with or without you

Tearin' up my heart and soul when we're apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do I'll feel the pain with or without you

And no matter what I do I feel the pain with or with out yo

Tearin Up My Heart

Thanks Shawn....it had a good run....

Hey no problem. That post was from the heart.

for Wayno...

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no

You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do ya wanna go higher?

[Chorus:]

There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress

[Chorus2:]

There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye

Alone Again, Naturally

(Gilbert O'Sullivan)

In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour.
I promised myself, to treat myself,
And visit a nearby tower .....
And climbing to the top,
Would throw myself off,
In an effort to, make clear to whoever,
What it's like when your shattered .....
Left standing in a lurch,
In a church with people saying .....
My God, that's tough, she stood him up,
No point in us remaining .....
I may as well go home,
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally.

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay.
Looking forward to, and who wouldn?t do,
The role I was about to play.
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around,
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces.
Leaving me to doubt, all about God and His mercy,
Oh, if He really does exist,
Why did He desert me?
And in my hour of need,
I truely am, indeed,
Alone again, naturally.

It seems to me that there are more hearts,
Broken in the world that can?t be mended,
Left unattended, what do we do?
What do we do?

Now looking back over the years,
And whatever else that appears.
I remember I cried when my father died,
Never wishing to hide the tears.
At sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn?t understand why the only man,
She had ever loved had been taken.
Leaving her to start, with a heart so badly broken,
Despite encouragement from me,
No words were ever spoken.
And when she passed away,
I cried and cried all day,
Alone again, naturally .....
Alone again ....naturally.

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

Done Wrong

The wind is ruthless
the trees shake angry fingers at the sky
the people hunch their shoulders
hold their collars over their ears and run by
it's a cold rain
it's a hard rain
like the kind that you find in songs
i guess that makes me the jerk with the heartache
here to sing you about how i've been done wrong

and i am sitting, watching
out the window of the coffee shop
and i am waiting, waiting
waiting for it to let up
i am rocking like a cradle
warming my hands with the cup in between
i am leaning over the table
holding my face over the steam

and before it gets so cold
that the rain turns to snow
there's just a couple things
i'd like to know

like how could you do nothing
and say, i'm doing my best
how could you take almost everything
and then come back for the rest
how could you beg me to stay,
reach out your hands and plead
and then pack up your eyes and run away
as soon as i agreed

it just all slips
away so slowly
you don't even notice till you've lost a lot
i've been like one of those zombies
in vegas
pouring quarters into a slot
and now i'm tired
and i am broke
and i feel stupid and i feel used
and i'm at the end of my little rope
and i am swinging back and forth
about you

before it gets so cold
that the rain turns to snow
there's just a couple things
i'd like to know

like how could you do nothing
and say, i'm doing my best
how could you take almost everything
and then come back for the rest
how could you beg me to stay,
reach out your hands and plead
and then pack up your eyes and run away
as soon as i agreed

Thank You For Forgiving
Hurtful Things I've Done As A Child
Adolescent Or Woman
Thank You For Embracing A Flaxen-haired Baby
Although I'm Aware You Had Doubts
I Guess Anybody'd Have Had Doubts

Please Be At Peace Father
I'm At Peace With You
Bitterness Isn't Worth Cling To
After All The Anguish We've All Been Through

Thank You For The Mountains
The Lake Of The Clouds
I'm Picturing You And Me There Right Now
As The Crystal Cascades Showered Down

Strange To Feel That Proud, Strong Man
Grip Tightly To My Hand
Hard To See The Life Inside
Wane As The Days Went By
Trying To Preserve Each Word
He Murmured In My Ear
Watch Part Of My Life Disappear

Father, Thanks For Reaching Out And Lovingly
Saying That You've Always Been Proud Of Me
I Needed To Feel That So Desperately
You're Always Alive Inside Of Me
Now You're Shining Like
A Sunflower Up In The Sky
Way Up High

Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton

Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful
Makin' love with you is all i wanna do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that i do is out of lovin' you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old

And we will live each day in springtime
Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with lovin' you

Lovin' you i see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we oooooh
I'm more in love with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

My mother says that
rain is angels
who are crying
up in heaven
and i believe that
'cause when sad things happen
it starts raining
it's been raining

it's been raining
for awhile now
it's been raining
at least forty days
and i've been crying
since the first time
someone i loved
passed away

i'll build an ark
inside my body
in a bottle
and disappear
'cause my soul is drowning
missing people
that i wish could
still be here
but it won't stop raining
and i can't stop crying
my friends keep dying

it's been raining
for awhile now
it's been raining
at least forty days
and i've been crying
since the first time
someone i loved
passed away

it's been raining
for awhile now
it's been raining
at least forty days
and i've been crying
since the first time
someone i loved
passed away

"Inconsolable" by Jonatha Brooke


I never knew what enough was, until I'd had more than my share
I let the darkness in, and it was then I lost the dare
It was then I lost the day

There will be no prayers on your return
And there will be no party thrown
And you will find your inheritance is the silence that's grown
It is the seed that you've sown

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing
Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable
Inconsolable

There is no mystery to be revealed
And so we tell the truth and then run
I love you because I love you
And I did think that you were the one
But now I see who you've become

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing
Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable
Inconsolable

Another Lonely Christmas

some ppl laugh when i say that "Janie's Got A Gun" is a powerfully emotional song.

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From looking straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?

They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell her now it's untrue
What did her daddy do?

He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightnin' and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the pain

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's Janie's last I.O.U.

She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleeze
He ain't never gonna be the same

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody's on the run (Honey, honey what's your problem)
'Cause Janie's got a gun (Tell me it ain't right)
Janie's got a gun (Was it daddy's cradle robbin')
Her dog day's just begun (That made you scream at night)
Now everybody's on the run
Janie's got a gun

It's not that it's serious; it's that it's too catchy for me to take seriously. It's the kinda song I get stuck in my head and walk down the road singing.

Spookymuffin said:

for a long time i had no idea it was so deep cuz it was so catchy. then i paid attention to the lyrics and i was like

InsatiableCream said:

I can't do that with Aerosmith; they're my "don leather and run outside" band. Big Ones is a sick album.

Spookymuffin said:

i love aerosmith

InsatiableCream said:

Get into Nine Inch Nails already.

Not quite as fun as ol' Steve but equally sex-able.

But yes, Aerosmith are enjoyable. Did you play Revolution X as a youngster?

Spookymuffin said:

oh lawd i forgot about that game

i loved it

InsatiableCream said:

Me too. God knows how many times I played it with my brother. Only managed to complete it once.

"Don't give up!"
"Play it agaaaaain!"


My Dad's company made that game.

Spookymuffin said:
