Father And Son
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)
Song Lyrics
Muse
"New Born"
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable
'cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting their last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
"New Born"
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable
'cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting their last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you

Thee Pogues
The Body of an American
The cadillac stood by the house
And the yanks they were within
And the tinker boys they hissed advice
'Hot-wire her with a pin'
We turned and shook as we had a look
In the room where the dead men lay
So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip
To the home where his father's laid
Fifteen minutes later
We had our first taste of whiskey
There was uncles giving lectures
On ancient Irish history
The men all started telling jokes
And the women they got frisky
At five o'clock in the evening
Every bastard there was piskey
Fare thee well going away
There's nothing left to say
Farewell to New York City boys
To Boston and PA
He took them out
With a well-aimed clout
He was often heard to say
I'm a free born man of the USA
He fought the champ in Pittsburgh
And he slashed him to the ground
He took on Tiny Tartanella
And it only went one round
He never had no time for reds
For drink or dice or whores
And he never threw a fight
Unless the fight was right
So they sent him to the war
Fare the well gone away
There's nothing left
to say
With a slainte Joe and Erin go
My love's in Amerikay
The calling of the rosary
Spanish winde from far away
I'm a free born man of the USA
This morning on the harbour
When I said goodbye to you
I remember how I swore
That I'd come back to you one day
And as the sunset came to meet
The evening on the hill
I told you I'd always love
I always did and I always will
Fare thee well gone away
There's nothing left to say
'cept to say adieu
To your eyes as blue
As the water in the bay
And to big Jim Dwyer
The man of wire
Who was often heard to say
I'm a free born man of the USA

The Partisan
When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;
I took my gun and vanished.
I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends,
and some of them are with me.
An old woman gave us shelter,
kept us hidden in the garret,
then the soldiers came;
she died without a whisper.
There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
but I must go on;
the frontiers are my prison.
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows.
Les Allemands étaient chez moi,
ils me dirent, "Signe toi,"
mais je n'ai pas peur;
j'ai repris mon arme.
J'ai changé cent fois de nom,
j'ai perdu femme et enfants
mais j'ai tant d'amis;
j'ai la France entiére.
Un vieil homme dans un grenier
pour la nuit nous a caché,
les Allemands l'ont pris;
il est mort sans surprise.
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come.

Here where the flattering and mendacious swarm
Of lying epitaths their secrets keep,
At last incapable of further harm
The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.

Angel
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason
to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the Angel
far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
and the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel;
may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line,
and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting,
you keep on building the lies
That make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference,
escape one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness,
oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the Angel
far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
and the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel;
may you find some comfort here
In the arms of the Angel;
may you find some comfort here

Children of the Damned
By Iron Maiden
He's walking like a small child...
But watch his eyes, burn you away.
Black holes in his golden stare...
God knows he wants to go home.
Children of The Damned...
Children of The Damned...
Children of The Damned...
He's walking like a dead man;
If he had lived he would have crucified us all!
Now he's standing on the last step...
He thought oblivion, well it beckons us all...
Children of The Damned...
Children of The Damned...
Children of The Damned...
Now it burns his hand... he's turning to laugh...
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh.
Melting his face... screaming in pain...
Peeling the skin from his eyes.
Watch him die... according to plan;
He's dust on the ground. what did we learn?
You're Children of The Damned;
Your back's against the wall.
You turn into the light,
You're Children of The Damned;
Like candles watch them burn...
Burning in the light,
You'll burn again tonight...
You're Children of The Damned.

This is one of my favorite songs by Iron Maiden...
The Trooper
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too;
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through.
So when you're waiting for the next attack,
You'd better stand there's no turning back.
The bugle sounds and the charge begins;
But on this battlefield no one wins...
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath;
As I plunge on into a certain death.
The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns...
And as we race towards the human wall,
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground,
And the Russians fire another round...
We get so near yet so far away;
We won't live to fight another day.
We get so close, near enough to fight...
When a Russian gets me in his sights.
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow;
A burst of rounds take my horse below.
And as I lay there gazing at the sky,
My body's numb and my throat is dry.
And as I lay forgotten and alone...
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

I love this song
Rickie Lee Jones
Rickie Lee Jones (1979)
Danny's All-Star Joint
Downstairs at danny's all-star joint
They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt
The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day
But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey
There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup
I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe
Cecil gives me coffee
And he won't never take my coin
I say, ' I got thirty dollars in my pocket!
Whatchoo doin' ? '
I holler, ' Come on, Cecil, take a dollar!
Come on, Cecil, take a ten!
I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones
And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin' '
He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard
They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard
They look particularly dead-beat
Permanently pale
Cecil picks up his butcher knife
Waves it at the jail
The kid say, ' I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some o.j '
I said, ' Don't look at me ' ( Cuz he was lookin' my way )
Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green
And the kid walks over and puts the quarter in the pinball machine
And he says, ' Come on, Cec, gimme a dollar
Come on Cecil gimme five
I'm in a half-way house on a one-way street
And I'm a quarter past left alive '
He can talk about your people in a wonderful way
He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey

The Last Chance Texaco
A long stretch of headlights
Bends into I-9
Tiptoe into truck stops
And sleepy diesel eyes
Volcanoes rumble in the taxi
And glow in the dark
Camels in the driver's seat
A slow, easy mark
But you ran out of gas
Down the road a piece
Then the battery went dead
And now the cable won't reach...
It's your last chance
To check under the hood
Last chance
She ain't soundin' too good,
Your last chance
To trust the man with the star
You've found the last chance Texaco
Well, he tried to be Standard
He tries to be Mobil
He tried living in a world
And in a shell
There was this block-busted blonde
He loved her - free parts and labor
But she broke down and died
And threw all the rods he gave her
But this one ain't fuel-injected
Her plug's disconnected
She gets scared and she stalls
She just needs a man, that's all
It's her last chance
Her timing's all wrong
Her last chance
She can't idle this long
Her last chance
Turn her over and go
Pullin' out of the last chance texaco
The last chance

I have always loved this song by Tom Waits for some reason... Maybe because of that feeling it evokes.. nostalgia and longing, mingled with regret... while still continuing onwards into the dawn...
Old 55
Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly out to my old '55
As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.
And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.
And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.
And my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks...

At first it may not seem like it, but judging by the video, the intent became clear. This song used irony in, seemingly, every line and phrase. The video's images contradicts just about every line in the song.

May we all be grateful we do not live in despotic regimes wherein our children are taken from us through state-sponsored terror.....
Mothers Of The Disappeared
Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall

Acda En De Munnik
Ol '55
Ineens ben ik wakker
En gewoon als altijd
M'n broek, m'n shirt, m'n sleutels en weg
Ik trek op, ik laat achter
Ik ben leuk voor 1 nacht
En dat weet ik, hoeft niet nog eens gezegd...
En nu komt de zon, de zon komt op
En ik rij er recht op af
Asfalt voor mij alleen
De koning te rijk
Alles van mij waar ik kijk
Met dat gevoel dat zich niet laat verdrijven
Ik had eigenlijk langer willen blijven
Ik doe de radio aan,
Draai het raam naar beneden
Het is koel,
Het is nog geen half zes
Het begint steeds in de kroeg
En het eindigt altijd 's ochtends vroeg
Ik alleen in m'n oude DS
En nu komt de zon, de zon komt op
En ik rij er recht op af
Asfalt voor mij alleen
De koning te rijk
Alles van mij waar ik kijk
Met dat gevoel dat zich niet laat verdrijven
Ik had eigenlijk langer willen blijven
Het is nu zes in de morgen
Ik heb de zon in m'n rug
Ik rij terug naar jouw huis
M'n hoofd in de wind
Maar benieuwd wat ik vind
Misschien eindelijk ergens thuis
En nu komt de zon, de zon komt op
Ik rij er midden in
Asfalt voor mij alleen
Asfalt voor mij alleen
Asfalt voor mij alleen
Never knew they knicked it off Tom Waits....

"Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas"
Love Burns - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Never thought I'd see her go away
She learned I loved her today
Never thought I'd see her cry
And I learned how to love her today
Never thought I'd rather die
Then try to keep her by my side
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Nothing else can hurt us now
No loss, our love's been hung on a cross
Nothing seems to make a sound
And now it's all so clear somehow
Nothing really matters now
Now we're gone and on our way
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
She cuts my skin and bruise my lips
She's everything to me
She tears my clothes and burns my eyes
She's all I want to see
She brings the cold and scars my soul
She's heaven sent to me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Never thought I'd leave you like the way I do, yeah
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone
Never thought I'd leave you like the way that I do
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Never thought I'd see her go away
She learned I loved her today
Never thought I'd see her cry
And I learned how to love her today

In Your Eyes
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for out survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

I Beg Your Pardon by Kon Kan
...another 80's song.
(I Beg Your Pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
along with the sunshine
there`s gotta be a little rain sometime......)
There once was a time and there once was a way
We had something going and to my dismay
Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where
And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say
I bring up a topic and you push it away
You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care
Why do I feel you're using me
Are we an item or are we just two
I need some commitments all I ask of you
Your lifestyle can change
Don't be 'fraid what you think's in store
I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose
Your shallow acquaintances what's there to choose
Yuo won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more
So think about it carefully
Smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
Do you want to hustle?
Do you want to salsa?
Do you want to hustle?
Do you want to salsa?
If that's how you want it; that's how it'll be
There's no use in trying or making you see
That love don't come easy you don't know what it's about
To get things together won't take any pain
Don't need to see/hear from you ever again
From this day on listen but no more
Please count me out, and you know what I'm talkin' about
Smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I know now's the time that I went to find something new
You know it's your crime that I'm out to find someone too

For my dearest Kat...
...although with had an argument last night.
Aaron Lines - You Can't Hide Beautiful
She says don't stare at me
She's afraid that I might see
Those five extra pounds she talks about
Man, I don't know what she's talking about
She looks through magazines
With every page she dreams
Of looking like somebody else
I wish she wasn't so hard on herself
Then she falls asleep with just my T-shirt on
Even when her hair's messed up and her makeup's gone
Chorus:
You can't hide beautiful
You can't hide wonderful
There's nothing that she has to do
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can't hide beautiful
Oh no...
She can take a simple dress
Put it on and turn some heads
Man, every time she moves she gets me
She doesn't even know she's sexy
And the way she think sometimes
Out of nowhere blows my mind
She makes me laugh and makes me dream
I love the way she looks at things
A little piece of heaven God gave to this world
She might think she's just an ordinary girl
Chorus
You can't hide beautiful
Oh no...
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can't hide beautiful
Oh no...
You can't hide beautiful
She's so beautiful...

From the visionary himself
Imagine - John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

@Tam... I was thinking of that song the other day...
here's another...
Blowing in the Wind
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
