Sing with me!

hand over fist

paper around the stone

scissors cut the paper

cut the paper to the bone

hand over fist

paper around the stone

scissors cut the paper

and the rock must stand alone

 

I could disappear into the crowd

but not if I keep my head in the clouds

I could walk away so proud

it's easy enough if you don't laugh too loud

 

I thought I was okay alone

wait for the postman and the telephone

lost in a world of my own

I thought I could run alone

thought I could run through the night alone

 

Hand over hand

Doesn't seem so much

Hand over hand

Is the strength of the common touch

 

you talk as we walk along

you never imagined I could be so wrong

humming your favorite song

you know I've hated that song for so long

 

how can we ever agree?

like the rest of the world

we grow farther apart

I swear you don't listen to me

holding my hand to my heart

holding my fist to my racing heart

 

Take a walk outside myself

In some exotic land

Greet a passing stranger

Feel the strength in his hand

Feel the world expand

 

I feel my spirit resist

But I open up my fist

Lay hand over hand over

Hand over fist

Where would you rather be?

Anywhere but here

When will the time be right?

Anytime but now

 

On the edge of sleep,

I was drifting for half the night

Anxious and restless,

pressed down by the darkness

Bound up and wound up so tight

So many decisions, a million revisions

Caught between darkness and light...

 

Wilderness of mirrors

World of polished steel

Gears and iron chains

Turn the grinding wheel

I run between the shadows

Some are phantoms, some are real

 

Where would you rather be?

Anywhere but here

When will the time be right?

Anytime but now

The doubt and the fear

I know would all disappear

Anywhere but here

 

On the edge of sleep,

I heard voices behind the door

The known and the nameless,

familiar and faceless

My angels and my demons at war

Which one will lose - depends on what I choose

Or maybe which voice I ignore...

 

Wilderness of mirrors

Streets of cold desire

My precious sense of honor

Just a shield of rusty wire

I hold against the chaos -

And the cross of holy fire

 

Wilderness of mirrors

So easy to deceive

My precious sense of rightness

Is sometimes so naive

So that which I imagine

Is that which I believe

 

On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright

Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness

I knew which direction was right

The case had been tried by the jury inside

The choice between darkness and light...

I've Gone Flying,

Trying To Reach You

You've Been Hiding,

Riding Me To A State Like This

 

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To The World

 

We Are Sailing,

Flailing Through The Ether

You've Been Trailing,

Failing Me

With You're View Of Bliss

 

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To The World

 

A Little More Than This,

A Little Less Than That,

 

You've Got Magic In Your Hands

 

A Little More Like This,

A Little Less Like That,

 

I've Got Magic In My Hands

 

You've Conspired,

Inspired Me

To Find A Place Like This

 

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To The World

Trick Of The Light

Or Just

A Loss Of Perspective

Flaw In The Grand Plan

Just

The Way It Is

 

Looks Good From A Distance

But

The Closer I Come

It...

Becomes More Daunting

But

These Moments Will Pass

 

Still

Halfway Up The Hill

My Fingers May Bleed

But I've Got To Get There

Still

Standing On The Hill

My Spirit's Released

But I've Got To Get There

 

Lost In An Abstract Thought

Dazed And Distracted

Winded Yet Still I'm Caught

With A Fragment Of Doubt

Slowed By Reflection

But

These Moments Will Pass

 

Still

Halfway Up The Hill

My Fingers May Bleed

But I've Got To Get There

Still

Standing On The Hill

My Spirit's Released

But I've Got To Get There

 

It's Just Confusion

An Illusion

Easily Overdone

Here Comes Resolution

Absolution

 

It's Not An Illusion

Not A Fiction

Easily Overcome

Here Comes Revolution

Absolution

 

Trick Of The Light

Or Just

Too Much Perspective

Looks Good From A Distance

But

The Closer I Come

It

Becomes More Daunting

But

These Moments Will Pass

 

Still

 

more Ged!

We are secrets to each other

Each one's life a novel

No-one else has read

Even joined in bonds of love

We're linked to one another

By such slender threads

 

We are planets to each other

Drifting in our orbits

To a brief eclipse

Each of us a world apart

Alone and yet together

Like two passing ships

 

 

Just between us

I think it's time for us to recognize

The differences we sometimes feared to show

Just between us

I think it's time for us to realize

The spaces in between

Leave room

For you and I to grow

 

We are strangers to each other

Full of sliding panels

An illusion show

Acting well-rehearsed routines

Or playing from the heart?

It's hard for one to know

 

We are islands to each other

Building hopeful bridges

On a troubled sea

Some are burned or swept away

Some we would not choose

But we're not always free

Five miles out,

Just hold your heading true

Gotta get your finest out

You're number one, anticipating you

And if it's bad,

Don't let it get you down,

You can take it

 

And if it hurts,

Don't let them see you cry,

You can make it

 

Hold your head up

Hold your head up

Hold your head up

Hold your head high!

One day I feel I'm on top of the world,

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on, I can get back on

 

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on, I can get back on

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

 

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

 

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

 

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

 

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

 

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

It's all right, it's all right

Well it's Saturday night and I just got paid

I'm a fool about my money, don't try to save

My heart says "go go, have a time"

Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine

 

I'm gonna rock it up, whoo

Gonna rip it up

I'm gonna shake it up

Gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rock it

And ball tonight

 

Got me a date and I won't be late,

Picked her up in my eighty-eight.

Shag on down to the union hall,

When the joint starts jumpin', I 'll have a ball.

 

I'm gonna rock it up

Gonna rip it up

I'm gonna shake it up

Gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rock it

And ball tonight

 

Well almost 'bout ten I'll be flying high

I'll rock on out unto the sky

I don't care if I spend my dough

Tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul

 

Gonna rip it up,

Gonna rock it up,

Gonna shake it up,

Gonna ball it up,

Gonna rock it up,

And ball the night.

 

Whoa!

 

Goin' to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie,

she's a rock and roll baby, she's the apple of my eye.

I'm ready,

ready, ready, teddy,

I'm ready,

ready, ready, teddy,

I'm ready,

ready, ready, teddy,

I'm ready, ready, teddy to rock and roll.

 

Yes.

This has been stuck in my head since last night:

 

As the sun breaks, above the ground,

 

An old man stands on the hill,

 

As the ground warms, to the first rays of light

 

A birdsong shatters the still.

 

 

His eyes are a blaze,

 

See the madman in his gaze.

 

 

Fly, on your way, like an eagle,

 

Fly as high as the sun,

 

On your way, like an eagle,

 

Fly and touch the sun.

 

 

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears

 

Looks the old man in the eye

 

As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd

 

In the name of God my father I fly.

 

 

His eyes seem so glazed

 

As he flies on the wings of a dream,

 

Now he knows his father betrayed

 

Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave.

 

 

Fly, on your way, like an eagle,

 

Fly as high as the sun,

 

On your way, like an eagle,

 

Fly as high as the sun.

 

 

Bonus points to anyone who can name the song. wink.gif

It's starting to rain again.

Everything's gone now.

Even the sun.

 

It's starting to rain again.

Don't go away.

What have I done?

 

I've been high and I've been low.

I've been wealthy and I've been poor.

I don't know much.

But one thing I know, this ain't no fun.

 

Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.

So that no one could see the tears running down my face.

 

Oh, invisibility would be great.

 

I painted a picture with her in his arms.

It's starting to rain again.

It's all in my mind.

He's done me no harm.

 

I've been up and I've been down.

Through all my drama, he's still around.

I can't believe that even now I put us through the storm.

 

Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.

So that no one could see the tears running down my face.

Oh, invisibility would be great.

 

Couldn't look at myself in the mirror.

Asking myself "How dumb could you be?"

Maybe everything would be much clearer if no one could see me.

 

Oh, invisibility would be great.

 

Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.

So that no one could see the tears running down my face.

Sometimes I wish that I can stand here and fade away.

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!

We're born again, there's new grass on the field.

A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;

Anyone can understand the way I feel.

 

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

 

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench;

You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out.

So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;

Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.

 

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

 

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

 

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;

You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.

Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;

(pop) It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

 

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

 

Yeah!

Shane you've gotta lay down your guns

Pick up the pieces and start again

Shane you've gotta bury away the past

Lose the hatchet and try again

Shane you've gotta realise

It's the way of the world that you made

Shane you've got to lay the ghost to rest

Of another time and back to the grave

 

And Shane the friends we make old

seem somehow to drift away

How can you feel alone with all

the people that you know?

All those friendly faces that

reflect from empty bars

But you will always be a friend of mine

 

Gotta love Neo-Prog cool.gif

What would you think if I sang out of tune,

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,

And I'll try not to sing out of key.

 

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,

Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,

Mmm going to try with a little help from my friends.

 

What do I do when my love is away.

(Does it worry you to be alone)

How do I feel by the end of the day

(Are you sad because you're on your own)

 

No I get by with a little help from my friends,

Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,

Mmm going to try with a little help from my friends.

 

Do you need anybody,

I need somebody to love.

Could it be anybody

I want somebody to love.

 

Would you believe in a love at first sight,

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.

What do you see when you turn out the light,

I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

 

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,

Mmm get high with a little help from my friends,

Oh I'm going to try with a little help from my friends.

 

Do you need anybody,

I just need somebody to love,

Could it be anybody,

I want somebody to love.

 

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,

Mmm going to try with a little help from my friends.

Oh I get high with a little help from my friends,

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,

With a little help from my friends.

We all have a weakness

But some of ours are easier to identify

Look me in the eye and ask for forgiveness

We'll make a pact to never speak that word again

Yes, you are my friend

 

We all have something that digs us

At least we dig each other

So when weakness turns my ego up

I know you'll count on the me from yesterday

If I turn into another

Dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me

Sing this song

Remind me that we'll always have each other

When everything else is gone

 

We all have a sickness

That cleverly attaches and multiplies

No matter how hard we try

 

We all have something that digs us

At least we dig each other

So when weakness turns my ego up

I know you'll act as a clever medicine

If I turn into another

Dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me

Sing this song

Remind me that we'll always have each other

When everything else is gone

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

 

And when the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Yeah there will be answer, let it be

 

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

I think I'll go for a walk outside now,

Summer suns callin' my name

can you hear it now

I just can't stay inside all day

I gotta get out and get me some of those rays

Everybody's smilin'

Sunshine Day

Everybody's laughin'

Sunshine Day

Everybody seems so happy to say......

It's a sunshine day! smile.gif
