Shelter from the Storm- Bob Dylan

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

i think i'm in love again... this is my absolute favorite bob dylan song... well, tied with "sad eyed lady of the low-lands"...

"Lying Eyes"--The Eagles

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
She is headed for the cheating side of town

You can't hide your lying eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the nice anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lying eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide you lying eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lying eyes

"Soft and Wet"

Hey lover, I've got a sugarcane
That I wanna lose in U, baby can U stand the pain?
Hey lover, sugar don't U see?
There's so many things that U do 2 me ... ooh baby!

(Hey lover) All I wanna see is the love in your eyes
And all I wanna hear is your sweet love sighs
(Hey lover) All I wanna feel is your burning flame
Tell me, tell me baby that U feel the same
Tell me that U feel the same way I do
Tell me that U love me girl

If this is lust, then I must confess I feel it everyday
If this is wrong, then I long 2 be as far from right as I may
Soft and wet, soft and wet

Soft and wet, soft and wet

Everytime I am with U, U just love me 2 death
Ooh wee baby, U leave me without breath ... oh baby
Ooh yeah

(Hey lover) U're just as soft as a lion tamed
And U're just as wet as the evening rain
(Hey lover) I really dig it when U call my name
Your love is driving me, U're driving me insane
Crazy baby, oh girl, crazy about your love

Soft and wet
U know U are soft and wet
4 sure girl, your love is soft and wet
Ooh, soft and wet

"How Can I Be Sure?"

How can I be sure in a world that's constantly changing?
How can I be sure where I stand with you?
Whenever I, whenever I am away from you
I wanna die 'cause you know I wanna stay with you.
How do I know? Maybe you're trying to use me.
Flying too high can confuse me. Touch me but don't take me down.
Whenever I, whenever I am away from you
My alibi is telling people I don't care for you.
Maybe I'm just hanging around with my head up upside down.
It's a pity, I can't seem to find someone who's as pretty
and lovely as you.
How can I be sure? I really really really wanna know.
I really really really wanna know. Oh.
How can I be sure in a world that's constantly changing?
How can I be sure? I'll be sure with you.

"Lady"

Look around you, look up here
Take time to make time, make time to be there
Look around, be a part
Feel for the winter, but don't have a cold heart

And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you
You're there when I need
I'm gonna need you

A long time ago I had a lady to love
She made me think of things I never thought of
Now she's gone and I'm on my own
A love song has come into my mind
A love song, it was there all the time

So lady let me take a look at you now
You're there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow
Oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you
"Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do."

(Instrumental break)

Look around, come to me
I have no answers, but know where I wanna be
I look around, play a part
I was born in the winter and cooled by a warm heart

And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you
You're there when I need
I'm gonna need you

So lady, let me take a look at you now
You're there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow
Oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you
"Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do,
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, lady I do."

Illusions - Cypress hill

Some people tell me that I need help
Some people can fuck off and go to hell
God dam why they criticize me
Now shit is on the rise and my family despise me
Fuck em and feed em cuz I don’t need em
I won’t join em if I can beat em
They don’t understand my logic
To my gat, to my money, and I’m hook on chronic.
I never wanted to hurt a nigga
Unless you come flexing that trigger
I’ll dig ya that grave on the east side of town
Now your six feet underground
From man to the dust to the ashes
All I remember tell me where the cash is!
Click clack barrel at my dome
Give all your loot or you ain’t going home
But I ain’t going out on a bang
Wa dada dang wa dada da dang

(hook)

I’m having illusions all this confusion’s
Driving me mad inside
I’m having illusions all this confusion’s
Fuckin me up in the mind.

Mother fuckas be driving me up the walls
Hoping that I fall but they can lick my balls
Straight jacket strap it
In the padded room where some punk niggas can’t hack it
Distracted from all reality now I’m let out
On a minor technicality ... they all fucked up now
Cuz they let a nigga back on the street some how
I’m looking for some one like me
Living in my own world to my own degree
On the loose in the city looking at the ho with the titties
Looking at me and I feel shitty
A lil tensed up getting hot
Cuz she looks like my girl who got smoked at the crack spot
I’m trying to find ways to cope
But I ain’t fuckin around with a gage or a rope.

(hook)

I’m having illusions all this confusion’s
Driving me mad inside
I’m having illusions all this confusion’s
Fuckin me up in the mind.

littlepill im happy for you... whos the lucky chick?

Nelly Furtado-"Hey Man"

Hey, man, don't look so scared.
You know I'm only testing you out.
Hey man, don't look so angry,
you're real close to figuring me out.

We are a part of a circle.
It's like a mobius strip,
and it goes round and round until it loses a link.
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again.

Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes,
so why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
I've got so many questions that I want to ask you.
I am so tired of mirrors- pour me a glass of your wine!

And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again!
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door.
Each morning I try to send them back but they only send me more.
I look at myself in the mirror; am I vital today?
Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way!

And there's a shadow in the sky , and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again,
and I don't mean to rain on your parade,
but pathos has got me once again...
and I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
no I don't want ambivalence no more!

Animal Kingdom
I saw a friend of mine 2day
In an ad sayin' what would do my body good
I told him he was wasting time I say
If God wanted milk in me
The breast I suck would have a line around the hood

No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity
No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing 2 me
It's why I don't eat red meat or white fish
Don't give me no blue cheese
We're all members of the animal kingdom
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea

Animal, animal kingdom {x2}

Who told us we should eat the swine?
U can bet your final money it damn sure wasn't no friend of mine
What about the clams on the shore?
Souls in progress, here come the fisherman - soul no more

No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity
(Nurses past, oh yeah)
No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing 2 me
(Ever did a damn thing)
So I don't eat no red meat or white fish
Or funky, funky blue cheese
We're all members of the animal kingdom
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea

Animal, animal kingdom {x3

Dang ya'll used a lot of the songs I wanted to so here's one no prolly ever heard of...but it's a good one

World in My Eyes-Depeche Mode


Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
and you don't have to move
you just sit still

Now let you mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the in my eyes

I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depth of the deepest sea
And you won't need a map
Believe me

Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more then you can feel now
That's all there is

Let me put you on a ship
On a long,long trip
Your lips close to my lips

All the islands in the ocean
All the heavens in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is

Let me show you the world in my eyes

"All Time High"-Rita Coolidge



All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two.
Had no intention to do the things we've done.
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find.
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one.

We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep.
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you.
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true.

We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
We're an all time high.

"All Of You"-Julio Iglesias and Diana Ross

I've never had this feeling before
I've never wanted anyone more
And something in your eyes tells me
You feel the way that I do
(i feel like you do)

If you would like to stay here all night
You know that I would say
It's all right
'Though I'm saying yes
I confess
I've got more on my mind
'Cause I want more of you
Than your time

All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything
And I'll take nothing less
All of you as long as you live
Everything you've never shared before
I want all of you that you can give
All your joys and all your sorrows
Your todays and your tomorrows

How I long to feel the warmth of your touch
And then if I'm not asking too much
I'd like to spend my life wand'ring through
All the wonders of you

And when we're lying close in the dark
So close I feel each beat of your heart
I want you to reveal what you feel
All you hold deep inside
There is nothing I want you to hide

All of you, your body and soul
Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you
All that you can give
And in return for all your giving
Let me give you all of me

All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything (everything) everything
All of you as long as you live
(as long as you live)
Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you
All that you can give
In return (in return) I wanna give you

"Right Here Waiting"-Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Pearl Jam
Corduroy

The waiting drove me mad.
You're finally here, and I'm a mess.
Take your entrance back,
Can't let you roam inside my head.

I don't want to take what you can give,
I'd rather starve than eat your bread.
I would rather run, but I can't walk.
Guess I'll lie alone just like before.

I'll take the other's path,
Oh, and I must refuse your test.
Push me and I will resist,
This behavior's not unique.

I don't want to hear from those who know,
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes.
I don't want to limp for them to walk,
Never would have known of me before.

I don't want to be held in your debt,
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed.
I'm already cut up and half dead,
I'll end up alone like I began.

I don't want to take what you can't give,
I'd rather starve than eat your bread.
All the things that others want for me,
Can't buy what I want because it's free.

Why ain't it supposed to be just fun?
To live and die, let it be done.
I figure I'll be damned,
All alone, like I began.

"Dreamin' About You"-

If the wind blew every petal from your precious red rose
Would U be afraid of what U'd find inside?

When I'm alone in my room
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U
When I'm alone in my room
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U
And every time I do what I need 2 do
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U

Revolving around every word that is spoken
Like the planets around the sun
I want U
Your tongue is a great persuader
Yeah, U got me sold
And when I'm alone in my room just watching a rose
I dream about U, I dream about U

When I'm alone in my room, yeah
I can't stop dreaming about U
When I'm alone in my room, baby, baby
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U
And every time I do what I need 2 do
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U

When my sane twin reigns
Claiming your aim is 2 maim my subconscious into being with U
I dream about U
Betting on the notion that if my lustier twin prevails
Like the ruins of Rome, I'll lie helpless at your feet
Yeah, when I'm alone
I dream about U, I dream about U

I dream about U, baby
When I'm alone in my room
I dream about U, my baby
I dream about U, U, U

(And here we stand)
And here we stand amidst your core (U)
Like the petals on this rose I adore (U)
The inside (The inside)
If the inside is kind
Kind in a sense that one would come from all
And the wish that U wish will come true if U call
But if not, (U will fall) U will fall
And I'll still be alone (Just dreaming about U)
With this ball in my stomach just dreaming about U (Dreaming about U)

"Damn U"-Prince


Damn U, U're so fine
Seems 2 happen 2 me each and every time we make love
I can't hold back
It's like having a hundred million little heart attacks
Damn U
Baby, U're so fine

Damn this kooky love affair
All I ever wanna do is play in your hair
2 people crazy in love
Into one another like a hand in a glove

Damn this kooky love affair

(Damn U)

Like animals just born 2 breed
Come 2 think about cha, baby, U're my only need
I'm on fire till U come and put me out
All I'm trying 2 say is that my psychedelic shouts
When U damn me
Damn U
When I'm in your arms it's all that I can do
When we're makin' love, I can't hold back
It's like having a hundred million little heart attacks
Damn U
Baby, U're so fine

Damn U
Baby, U're so fine

"Kiss You All Over"-No Mercy

When I get home babe, I'm gonna light your fire
All day I've been thinking about you babe
You're my one desire
Gonna wrap my arms around you
Hold you close to me
Oh babe I wanna taste your lips
I wanna fill your fantasy
I don't know what I'd do without you, babe
Don't know where I'd be
You're not just another love
No, you're everything to me
Everytime I'm with you baby
Can't believe it's true
When you're laying in my arms
And you do the things you do
You can see it in my eyes
I can feel it in your touch
You don't have to say a thing
Just let me show how much
I love you, I need you, babe
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
No one else can ever make me feel the way you do
Oh keep on loving me baby
And I keep on loving you
It's easy to see when something's right and something wrong
Well stay with me baby
And hold me all night long
So show me, show me everything you do
Cause baby no one does it quite like you
I love you, I need you, babe
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Stay with me
Lay with me
Holding me
Loving me, baby
Here with me
Near with me
Feeling you close to me, baby
So show me, show me everything you do
Cause baby no one does it quite like you
I love you, I need you, babe
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in...

"Noon Rendezvous"-Sheila E.


I've been wondering what 2 wear
I love our noon rendezvous
I know U tell me U missed me
And I want 2 make love 2 U

Your words, they intoxicate me
I shiver each time that U speak
How much more can I endure, my love?
The sound of your voice makes me weak

If my bodily functions operate
This way when U just call my name
I'd hate 2 see when we are finally
Playing that nasty love game

Your words, they intoxicate me
I shiver each time that U speak
How much more can I endure, my love?
The sound of your voice makes me weak

The words are all over your face, my love
What shall U or shall I do?
U could show me some new tricks, my love
I'd love 2 be taught by U

I've been wondering what 2 wear
I love our noon rendezvous

Elton John - The One


I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit


And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one


There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel


For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

Sade
By Your Side

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that.
Think I'd leave you down,
When you're on your knees?
I wouldn't do that.
I'll make it right when you're wrong,
If only you could see into me.

Oh, when you're cold, I'll be there
I'll hold you tight to me.
When you're on the outside, baby,
And you can't get in, I would show you
You're so much better than you know.
When you're lost,
When you're alone and can't get back again
I will find you and I'll bring you home.

And if you want to cry,
I am here to dry your eyes.
And in no time, you'll be fine.

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that.
Think I'd leave you down,
When you're on your knees?
I wouldn't do that.
I'll make it right when you're wrong,
If only you could see into me.

When you're cold, I'll be there.
I'll hold you tight to me.
Oh, when you're alone,
I'll be there by your side.

When you're cold, I'll be there.
I'll hold you tight to me.
Oh, when you're alone,
I'll be there by your side.

Erykah Badu Next Lifetime
{1} - Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl? {2 times}

First time that I saw you boy
It was a warm and sunny day
All I know is I wanted you
I really hoped you looked my way
When you smiled at me
So warm and sweet
I could not stay
You make me feel like a lilting girl
What do you do to me

{Repeat 1 (2 times)}

I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gonna be there

You're imaging
Feels so damn good to me
It picks me up don't wanna come down
You got me spinning all around
Yeah
You need to know
I've got that somebody
You're beautiful
But it ain't that type of party

{Repeat 1 (2 times)}

Well I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Baby we'll be butterflies

That sounds so divine
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I guess I will now
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Wait
Wait a little while

See it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming
Boy don't get me wrong
Cause every time (every time) I see you (every single time)
I know just how strong (every single time)
That my love is for my baby
But emotions just don't lie
Well I know I'm a lot of woman
But not enough to divide the pie

{Repeat 1 (1 time)}

I guess I'll see you next lifetime
You know I want to stay around
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm so confused now

{Repeat 1 (1 time)}

Already
I'm going to be there
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm going to look for you

{Repeat 1 (1 time)}

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

I Miss You by Bjork.

I miss you
But I haven't met you yet
So special
But it hasn't happened yet
You are gorgeous
But I haven't met you yet
I remember
But it hasn't happened yet

And if you believe in dreams
Or what is more important
That a dream can come true
I will meet you

I was peaking
But it hasn't happened yet
I haven't been given
My best souvenir
I miss you
But I haven't met you yet
I know your habits
But wouldn't recognise you yet

And if you believe in dreams
Or what is more important
That a dream can come true
I will meet you

I'm so impatient
I can't stand the wait
When will I get my cuddle?
Who are you?

I know by now that you'll arrive
By the time I stop waiting

I miss you.
