Arleen2112 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Everytime that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face gettin clearer The past is gone It went by like dust to dawn Isnt that the way Everybodys got their dues in life to pay I know what nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know its everybodys sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life is in books written pages Live and learn from fools and from sages You know its true All the things come back to you Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me, if its just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away Dream on, dream on Dream yourself a dream come true Dream on, dream on Dream until your dream come true Dream on, dream on, dream on... Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears Sing with me, if its just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the invisible man Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I get up, and nothing gets me down. You got it tough. I've seen the toughest around. And I know, baby, just how you feel. You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real Oh can't you see me standing here, I've got my back against the record machine I ain't the worst that you've seen. Oh can't you see what I mean ? Might as well jump. Jump ! Might as well jump. Go ahead, jump. Jump ! Go ahead, jump. Aaa-ohh Hey you ! Who said that ? Baby how you been ? You say you don't know, you won't know until we begin. Well can't you see me standing here, I've got my back against the record machine I ain't the worst that you've seen. Oh can't you see what I mean ? Might as well jump. Jump! Go ahead, jump. Might as well jump. Jump! Go ahead, jump. Jump! (guitar solo) (keyboard solo) Part of the video version: Aaa-ohh!

the invisible man Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I Think I'm Going Bald" I looked in the mirror today My eyes just didn't seem so bright I've lost a few more hairs I think I'm going bald I think I'm going bald Seems like only yesterday We would sit and talk of dreams all night Dreams of youth And simple truths Now we're so involved So involved with life Walk down vanity fair Memory lane everywhere Wall Street shuffles there Dressed in flowing hair Once we loved the flowers Now we ask the price of the land Once we would take water But now it must be wine Now we've been And now we've seen What price peace of mind Take a piece of my mind My life is slipping away I'm aging every day But even when I'm grey I'll still be grey my way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 In her white lace You can clearly see the lady sadly looking. Saying that she'd take the blame For the crucifixion of her own domain. I get up, I get down, I get up, I get down. Two million people barely satisfy. Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late. The eyes of honesty can achieve. How many millions do we deceive each day? I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down. In charge of who is there in charge of me. Do I look on blindly and say I see the way? The truth is written all along the page. How old will I be before I come of age for you? I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down.

Lerxster Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 It's a god-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling "No" And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? It's on Amerika's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arleen2112 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 On certain nights When the angles are right And the moon is a slender crescent It's circle shows In a ghostly glow Of earthly luminescence Earthshine A beacon in the night I can raise my eyes to Earthshine Earthshine A jewel out of reach Form a dream to rise to Earthshine Floating high In the evening sky I see my faint reflection Pale facsimile Like what others see When they look in my direction Earthshine A beacon in the night I can raise my eyes to Earthshine Earthshine Stretching out your hand Full of starlit diamonds Earthshine Reflected light To another's sight And the moon tells a lover's story My borrowed face And my third-hand grace Only reflect your glory You're still out of reach Form a dream to rise to Earthshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocinanteKid Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 You've got me captured I'm under your spell I guess I'll never learn I have your picture Yes I know it well Another page is turned Are you for real? It's so hard to tell From just a magazine Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells Look what that does to me I'll wait 'Til your love comes down I'm coming straight for your heart No way You can stop me now As fine as you are I wrote a letter And told her these words That meant a lot to me I never sent it She wouldn't have heard Her eyes don't follow me And while she watches I can never be free Such good photography I'll wait 'Til your love comes down I'm coming straight for your heart No way You can stop me now As fine as you are You can't imagine What your image means The pages come alive Your magic free To everyone who reads Heartbreakin' motor drive Are you for real? It's so hard to tell From just a magazine Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells Look what that does to me I'll wait 'Til your love comes down I'm coming straight for your heart No way You can stop me now As fine as you are I'll wait 'Til your love comes down I'm coming straight for your heart No way You can stop me now As fine as you are I'll wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arleen2112 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 "To seek the sacred river Alph To walk the caves of ice To break my fast on honeydew And drink the milk of Paradise..." I had heard the whispered tales of immortality The deepest mystery From an ancient book I took a clue I scaled the frozen mountain tops of eastern lands unknown Time and Man alone Searching for the lost Xanadu Xanadu... To stand within the Pleasure Dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste anew the fruits of life The last immortal man To find the sacred river Alph To walk the caves of ice Oh, I will dine on honeydew And drink the milk of Paradise A thousand years have come and gone but time has passed me by Stars stopped in the sky Frozen in an everlasting view Waiting for the world to end, weary of the night Praying for the light Prison of the lost Xanadu Xanadu... Held within the Pleasure Dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste my bitter triumph As a mad immortal man Nevermore shall I return Escape these caves of ice For I have dined on honeydew And drunk the milk of Paradise Or is it Paradise??

Show Don't Tell Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I've stood upon my mountaintop and shouted at the sky walked above the pavement with my sense amplified - I get this feeling all my nerves are naked wires tender to the touch sometimes super-sensitive but who can care too much? - I get this feeling scars of pleasure scars of pain atmospheric changes make them sensitive again each emotional injury leaves behind its mark sometimes they come tumbling out like shadows in the dark - I get this feeling when I think about all I have seen and all I'll never see when I think about the people who have opened up to me - I get this feeling snow falls deep around my house and holds the winter light I've heard the lions hunting in the Serengeti night - I get this feeling forests turned to factories and river, sea, and sky hungry child in the desert and the flies that cloud her eyes - I get this feeling Pleasure leaves a fingerprint As surely as mortal pain In memories they resonate And echo back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 In honor of TP playing the SB-- Let me run with you tonight I'll take you on a moonlight ride There's someone I used to see But she don't give a damn for me But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud You don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels to be me People come, people go Some grow young, some grow old I woke up in between A memory and a dream My old man was born to rock He's still tryin' to beat the clock Think of me what you will I've got a little space to fill So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint And let's head on down the road There's somewhere I got to go And you don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels No, you don't know how it feels to be me You don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels No, you don't know how it feels to be me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestIKenster Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight." We go to a party and everyone turns to see This beautiful lady that's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight." I feel wonderful because I see The love light in your eyes. And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize how much I love you. It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head, So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed. And then I tell her, as I turn out the light, I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestIKenster Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 When they turn the pages of history When these days have passed long ago Will they read of us with sadness For the seeds that we let grow We turned our gaze From the castles in the distance Eyes cast down On the path of least resistance Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise The hypocrites are slandering The sacred halls of Truth Ancient nobles showering Their bitterness on youth Can't we find The minds that made us strong Can't we learn To feel what's right and wrong Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise Can't we raise our eyes And make a start Can't we find the minds To lead us closer to the Heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestIKenster Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 How many times Do we tire of all the little battles Threaten to call it quits Tempted to cut and run How many times Do we weather out the stormy evenings Long to slam the front door Drive away into the setting sun Keep going on till dawn How many times must another line be drawn We could be down and gone But we hold on How many times Do we chafe against the repetition Straining against a fate Measured out in coffee breaks How many times Do we swallow our ambition Long to give up the same old way Find another road to take Keep holding on so long 'Cause there's a chance that we might not be so wrong We could be down and gone But we hold on How many times Do we wonder if it's even worth it Theres got to be some other way Way to get me through the day Keep going on till dawn How many times must another line be drawn We could be down and gone But we hold on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestIKenster Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I've got a livin' that's rough, a future that's tough You know what I mean Blankers and boasters, all the bluffers and posers I'm not into that scene You can tell me that I got no class Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last Don't give me speeches 'cause they're oh so droll Leave me alone, let me rock and roll Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk I'm funny that way Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far But I'll try anyway I just like to please, don't like to tease I'm easy like that Don't like long rests, I must confess I'm an impatient cat I do the best that I can I'm just what I am I do the best I can Well, I know what I am Rock and roll-in's a scream, makin' millions my dream Well, I do that a lot I'll just give it a try, won't let good times pass me by They're all I've got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestIKenster Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Suddenly- You were gone From all the lives You left your mark upon I remember- How we talked and drank Into the misty dawn - I hear the voices We ran by the water On the wet summer lawn - I see the foot prints I remember- - I feel the way you would - I feel the way you would Tried to believe But you know it's no good This is something That just can't be understood I remember- The shouts of joy Skiing fast through the woods - I hear the echoes I learned your love for life I feel the way that you would - I feel your presence I remember- I feel the way you would This just can't be understood...
