You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free You won't get wise With the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dream might be

You can never break the chain There is never love without pain A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

A certain degree of surrender

Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe A wondrous dream came into being Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste All shining eyes, but never seeing

Not gonna try to piece together a CDs'worth of songs, but a few examples have stuck with me through the years the standard setters for Neil's lyrics. Ironically (or maybe not so ironically), two come from the same album. Subdivisions - this whole song is, lyrically, perfect. The Analog Kid - great song about youthful innocence, but the line "A fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs dances on the edge of his dreams" is simply amazing. Cut to the Chase - not the whole song, but this bit in particular: Young enough not to care too much About the way things used to be I'm young enough to remember the future The past has no claim on me I'm old enough not to care too much About what you think of me But I'm young enough to remember the future And the way things ought to be I'm sure there is more (I KNOW there is more), but these three typically do it for me.

They say the oaks are just too greedy

And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us
