It keeps you runnin - Doobie Brothers

Where you gonna go,

Where are you gonna hide?

You go on leaving out your heart

And all it's saying deep inside.

I can feel your heart beat

You got me all wrong.

You don't have to worry

You just been lonely too long

I know what it means to hide your heart

From a long time ago -

It keeps you running

It keeps you running

I know how you feel

You know I been there

But what you've been keeping to yourself

Well you know it just ain't fair

Are you gonna worry

For the rest of your life

Why are you in such a hurry

To be lonely one more night?

I know what it means to hide your heart

From a long time ago -

The Pretender - Jackson Browne

I'm going to rent myself a house

In the shade of the freeway

Gonna pack my lunch in the morning

And go to work each day

And when the evening rolls around

I'll go on home and lay my body down

And when the morning light comes streaming in

I'll get up and do it again

Amen.

Say it again

Amen.

I want to know what became of the changes

We waited for love to bring

Were they only the fitful dreams

Of some greater awakening?

I've been aware of the time going by

They say in the end it's the wink of an eye

When the morning light comes streaming in

You'll get up and do it again

Amen.

Caught between the longing for love

And the struggle for the legal tender

Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring

And the junk man pounds his fender.

Where the veterans dream of the fight

Fast asleep at the traffic light

And the children solemnly wait

For the ice cream vendor

Out into the cool of the evening

Strolls the Pretender

He knows that all his hopes and dreams

Begin and end there

Ah the laughter of the lovers

As they run through the night

Leaving nothing for the others

But to choose off and fight

And tear at the world with all their might

While the ships bearing their dreams

Sail out of sight

I'm gonna find myself a girl

Who can show me what laughter means

And we'll fill in the missing colors

In each other's paint-by-number dreams

And then we'll put our dark glasses on

And we'll make love until our strength is gone

And when the morning light comes streaming in

We'll get up and do it again

Get it up again

I'm gonna be a happy idiot

And struggle for the legal tender

Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

To the heart and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie

In those things that money can buy

where true love could have been a contender

Are you there?

Say a prayer for the Pretender.

Who started out so young and strong

Only to surrender.

Say a prayer for the pretender

Are you there for the pretender?

Say a prayer for the pretender

Are you there for the pretender?

Are you prepared for the pretender?

Dedicated to CB

**** is for children


Pat Benatar




They cry in the dark, so you cant see their tears

They hide in the light, so you cant see their fears

Forgive and forget, all the while

Love and pain become one and the same

In the eyes of a wounded child

Because ****

**** is for children

And you know that their little lives can become such a mess

****

**** is for children

And you shouldnt have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

Its all so confusing, this brutal abusing

They blacken your eyes, and then apologize

Youre daddys good girl, and dont tell mommy a thing

Be a good little boy, and youll get a new toy

Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because ****

**** is for children

And you know that their little lives can become such a mess

****

**** is for children

And you shouldnt have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

No, **** is for children

****

**** is for ****

**** is for ****

**** is for children

****

**** is for ****

**** is for ****

**** is for children

****

**** is for ****

**** is for ****

**** is for children

**** is for children

**** is for children

Superstar

The Carpenters

Long ago, and, oh, so far away

I fell in love with you before the second show.

Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear, but you're not really here.

It's just the radio.

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?

You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.

Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.

I love you, I really do.

Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait to be with you again.

What to say, to make you come again?

Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar.

Unckle Kracker - In a little while

Heres to the good life or so they say

All those parties and games that all those people play

They tell me this is the place to be

All these beautiful people and nothin to see

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here

Something is wrong here, I dont belong here

Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town

And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

[chorus]

In a little while Ill be thinkin about you

In a little while Ill still be here without you

You never gave me a reason to doubt you

In a little while Ill be thinkin about you baby...Ill be thinkin about you baby

On the other side of a coin

Theres a face theres a memory somewhere that I cant erase

And theres a place that I find someday

But sometimes I feel like its slippin away

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here

Something is wrong here, I dont belong here

Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town

And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

[repeat chorus]

Some things are lost some left behind

Some things are better left for someone else to find

Maybe in time I can finally see

I just wonder, wonder if you think about me

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here

Something is wrong here, I dont belong here

Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town

And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

Shape of my heart - Sting

He deals the cards as a meditation

And those he plays never suspect

He doesn't play for the money he wins

He doesn't play for the respect

He deals the cards to find the answer

The sacred geometry of chance

The hidden law of probable outcome

The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds

He may lay the queen of spades

He may conceal a king in his hand

While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you

You'd maybe think there's something wrong

I'm not a man of too many faces

The mask I wear is one

Those who speak know nothing

And find out to their cost

Like those who curse their luck in too many places

And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

That's not the shape of my heart

Sitting, waiting, wishing


Jack Johnson

I was sitting, waiting, wishing

You believed in superstitions

Then maybe you'd see the signs.

Lord knows that this world is cruel

And I ain't the lord, no I'm just a fool

Learning lovin somebody don't make them love you.

Chorus

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you

Must I always be playing, playing your fool.

I sang your songs, I danced your dance

I gave your friends, all a chance

Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

Oh, maybe you've been through this before

But it's my first time, so please ignore

The next few lines, cause they're directed at you.

Chorus

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you

I can't always be playing, playing your fool.

Bridge

I keep playing your part

But it's not my scene

Want this plot to twist

I've had enough mystery

Keep building it up

Then shooting me down

But I'm already down

Just wait a minute

Just sitting, waiting

Just wait a minute

Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position

I'd put down all my ammunition

I'd wonder why it had taken me so long

But Lord knows that I'm not you

and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel

cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do

Repeat Chorus

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you

Must I always be playing, playing your fool

No I can't always be waiting, waiting on you

I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool

Planet Caravan


Black Sabbath

We sail through endless skies

Stars shine like eyes

The black night sighs

The moon in silver trees

Falls down in tears

Light of the night

The earth, a purple blaze

Of sapphire haze

In orbit always

While down below the trees

Bathed in cool breeze

Silver starlight breaks down the night

And so we pass on by the crimson eye

Of great *** mars

As we travel the universe

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsYxmejYsAw]YouTube - Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan[/ame]

I just heard the Pantera cover of this.. Love it. I like Sabbath better though.

​

Some of the comments people leave at you tube are a riot.. These were on this vid..

"if i ever get my hands on some acid or shrooms listenin to this song is the first thing im doin." ~ InBloom10

"Simply one of the best songs of the 70s. And I generally can't stand Sabbath. Great tune." ~ DroverChicago

"I am sorry for your hellish experiences in Vietnam, but you're firing your guns in the wrong direction on this one. Take your hatred to the lying bigots who run your country into the ground for their personal gain and profit, not the civilians who suffer from their so called leaders' ulterior motives and abuse of power." ~ daemonomaniac

Hahahahahahaha.. wtf?

Wow, cool astronomy pics the guy put with this song.. beautiful.

Good ***.. people at each others throats over there on older comments over who's better, Sabbath or Pantera.. Hahahaha..

Here is a girl doing a cover of it.. I heard a little. She sounded good..

Fairies Wear Boots


Black Sabbath

Goin home, late last night

Suddenly I got a fright

Yeah I looked through the window and surprised what I saw

Fairy boots were dancing with a dwarf,

All right now!

Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me

Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies

Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me

I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes,

Well all right now!

So I went to the doctor

See what he could give me

He said son, son, youve gone too far.

cause smokin and trippin is all that you do.

Limelight


Rush

Living on a lighted stage

Approaches the unreal

For those who think and feel

In touch with some reality

Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role,

Ill-equipped to act

With insufficient tact

One must put up barriers

To keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight

The universal dream

For those who wish to seem

Those who wish to be

Must put aside the alienation

Get on with the fascination

The real relation

The underlying theme

Living in a fisheye lens

Caught in the camera eye

I have no heart to lie

I cant pretend a stranger

Is a long-awaited friend

All the worlds indeed a stage

And we are merely players

Performers and portrayers

Each anothers audience

Outside the gilded cage

Hymn 43

Jethro Tull

Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son

Whose busy with his money games -- his women and his gun.

Oh jesus save me!

And the unsung western hero killed an indian or three

And made his name in hollywood

To set the white man free.

Oh jesus save me!

If jesus saves -- well, hed better save himself

From the gory glory seekers who use his name in death.

Oh jesus save me!

I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon --

His cross was rather ****** --

He could hardly roll his stone.

Oh jesus save me!

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK3YEkfMFJs]YouTube - Jethro Tull: Hymn 43 (07/09/2005)[/ame]

I wish I could find the studio version of this song.. Love it. Some of the comments were negative on this performance. It was in 05'. I saw Tull in the early 90's live.. it was great.

Meh.. I can see a bit of it.. I miss the heavy guitar of the original version..

Hey! There's the guitar on the last verse.. cool.. Awsome flute playin'.. Great, original band..Glad I let it keep loading.. Almost done.

Jim Stafford - Spiders and Snakes

I remember when Mary Lou said

"You wanna walk me home from school"

And I said, "Yes, I do"

She said, "I don't have to go right home

And I'm the kind that likes to be alone

As long as you would"

I said, "Me, too"

And so we took a stroll

Wound up down by the swimmin' hole

And she said, "Do what you want to do"

I got silly and I found a frog

In the water by a hollow log

And I shook it at her

And I said "This frog's for you"

She said, "I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

You fool, you fool

I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

Like I want to be loved by you"

Well, I think of that girl from time to time

I call her up when I got a dime

I say, "Hello, baby"

She says, "Ain't you cool"

I say, "Do you remember when

"And would you like to get together again"

She says, "I'll see you after school"

I was shy and so for a while

Most of my love was touch and smile

Til she said, "Come on over here"

I was nervous as you might guess

Still looking for somethin' to slip down her dress

And she said, "Let's make it perfectly clear"

She said, "I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

You fool, you fool

I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

Like I want to be loved by you"

The more things change - Cinderella

Woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed

I got this feeling like a train's running through my head

Turned on my radio to the same old song

Some big mouth talking trying to tell us where the world went wrong

But all this talk of peace and love

It's only for the news

Cause everytime you trust someone

You end up getting screwed

The more things change

The more they stay the same

Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way

The more things change

The more they stay the same

All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain

Came to this morning I was feeling mighty used

Picked up the telephone but all I got's a major attitude

Turned on the TV to the same old news

Everybody thinks they got the answer to the same old blues

Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night

You gotta go for the throat

You gotta fight for your life

The more things change

The more they stay the same

Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way

The more things change

The more they stay the same

All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain

Take me away

Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night

You gotta go for the throat

You gotta fight for your life

The more things change

The more they stay the same

Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way

The more things change

The more they stay the same

All we need's a miracle to take us all away

The more things change

The more they stay the same

Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way

The more things change

The more they stay the same

All we need's a miracle

The more things change

The more things change

The more things change

What you are


Audioslave

And when you wanted me

I came to you

And when you wanted someone else

I withdrew

And when you asked for light

I set myself on fire

And if I go away I know

You'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood

I cut my veins

And when you wanted love

I bled myself again

Now that I've had my fill of you

I'll give you up forever

And here I go far away

I know you'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

Then the vision came to me

When you came along

I gave you everything

But then you wanted more

Let the arrow fly

When the sin lies bolder

Ill pluck out thine eye

Satan got your thigh

If you steal in hunger

I will kick you when you try

Sad suffering

I knew you when

Fairwell thee friend of mine

I try not to think

I merely blink

Hope to wish away the lies...

I...

Can you protect

Me when Im wrecked

Ill pretend youre still alive

I choose the day

One death and grey,

Thick fog, I hide and smile

Clear all your sins

Get born again

Just repeat a couple lies

Lies... yeah

Sad suffering.....

Get born again....
