“Ball And Chain” - Janis Joplin

Sittin’ down by my window,
Honey, lookin’ out at the rain.
Oh, Lord, Lord, sittin’ down by my window,
Baby, lookin’ out at the rain.
Somethin’ came along, grabbed a hold of me, honey,
And it felt just like a ball and chain.
Honey, that’s exactly what it felt like,
Honey, just dragging me down.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon’, tell me why,
Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on to go wrong ?
Yeah it goes wrong, yeah.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,
Does every thing, every thing.
Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you,
I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long,
Yeah! Alright! Hey!

Love’s got a hold on me, baby,
Feels like a ball and chain.
Now, love’s just draggin’ me down, baby,
Feels like a ball and chain.
I hope there’s someone out there who could tell me
Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain.
Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon’, tell me why,
Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why, yeah.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you,
When I need to know why, c’mon tell me why, hey hey hey,
Here you’ve gone today,
I wanted to love you and hold you
Till the day I die.
I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!

And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey
It ain’t fair, daddy it ain’t fair what you do,
I see what you’re doin’ to me and you know it ain’t fair.
And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby
It ain’t fair, now, now, now, what you do
I said hon’ it ain’t fair what, hon’ it ain’t fair what you do.
Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do
Was to love you
Honey you can still hear me rock and roll the best,
Only it ain’t roll, no, no, no, no, no.

Sittin’ down by my window,
Lookin’ out at the rain.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin’ down by my window,
Lookin’ out at the rain, see the rain.
Somethin’ came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt like a ball and chain.
Oh this can’t be in vain
And I’m gonna tell you one more time, yeah, yeah!

And I say oh, whoa whoa, now baby
This can’t be, no this can’t be in vain,
And I say no no no no no no no no, whoa,
And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Now now now now now now now now now no no not in vain
Hey, hope there is someone that could tell me
Hon’, tell me why love is like
Just like a ball
Just like a ball
Baaaaaaalllll
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
And a chain.
Yeah.

She’s Always A Woman - Billy Joel

only registered users can see external links

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the TRUTH but she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

“Our Truth” - Lacuna Coil

Clock is ticking while I'm killing time
Spinning all around
Nothing else that you can do to turn it back
Wicked partnership in this crime
Ripping off the best
Condescending smile

Trying to forget
We're falling right through
Lying to forget
We're raising our truth
Come tease me

Clock is ticking while I'm killing time
Can't you turn it back?
Stop the cycle, set it free, run away
Silent sneaking along my path
Rugged the road but we feel it like we're flying
(Feel it like we're flying)

Trying to forget
We're falling right through
Lying to forget
We're raising our truth

Trying to forget
We're falling right through
Lying to forget
We're raising our truth

Jokerman

Bob Dylan

Standing on the waters, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the TRUTH so far off, what good will it do?

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh-oh-oh, Jokerman

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh-oh-oh, Jokerman

You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah, but what do you care?
Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh-oh-oh, Jokerman

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo, indeed, could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh-oh-oh, Jokerman

Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
Preacher man seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time 'til night comes stepping in

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh-oh-oh, Jokerman

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street and place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh-oh-oh, Jokerman

Gimme Some Truth
John Lennon

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the TRUTH
Just gimme some truth
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mamas little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now
I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope
Ah, I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

The Wreckers ~ Rush

The breakers roar on an unseen shore
In the teeth of a hurricane
Oh we struggle in vain
A hellish night - a ghostly light
Appears through the driving rain
Salvation in a human chain
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a mircale too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the TRUTH is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
'Cause sometimes the target is you
Driven aground, with that awful sound
Drowned by the cheer from ashore
Oh we wonder what for
The people swarm through the darkling storm
Gather everything they can score
'Til their backs won't bear any more
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a mircale too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the TRUTH is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
'Cause sometimes the target is you
The breakers roar on an unseen shore
In the teeth of an icy grave
In the teeth of an icy grave
Oh the human chain leaves a bloody stain
Washed away in the pounding waves
Washed away in the pounding waves
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a mircale too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the TRUTH is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
'Cause sometimes the target is you
All I know is that memory can be too much to carry
Striking down like a bolt from the blue
All I know is that sometimes the TRUTH is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes the TRUTH is contrary
'Cause sometimes the target is you

...And Justice For All
By: Metallica

Halls of justice painted green, money talking
Power wolves beset your door, hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite, they devour
Hammer of justice crushes you, overpower

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe, I can't believe the price
You pay

Nothing can save you
Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone
Pulling your strings, justice is done
Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Apathy their stepping stone, so unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity, so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns, hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you with prying minds

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe, I can't believe the price
You pay

Nothing can save you
Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone
Pulling your strings, justice is done
Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Lady Justice has been raped, truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips, now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again, make your deal
Just what is truth, I cannot tell, cannot feel

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe, I can't believe the price
We pay

Nothing can save us
Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone
Pulling your strings, justice is done
Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so rea

Don't Cry For Me Argentina
(from "Evita" soundtrack)

only registered users can see external links

[Eva:]
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

“Strange Brew” - Cream

Strange brew, killin' what's inside of you

She's a witch of trouble in electric blue
In her own mad mind, she's in love with you
With you, now what you gonna do?
Strange brew, killin' what's inside of you

She's some kind of demon messin' in the glue
If you don't watch out, it'll stick to you
To you, what kind of fool are you?
Strange brew, killin' what's inside of you

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be ignored
And wouldn't you be bored?
Strange brew, killin' what's inside of you

Strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew, killin' what's inside of you

Strange Kind of Woman
Deep Purple

There once was a woman
A STRANGE kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
Ooh, my soul, I love you
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glow with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the STRANGE)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the STRANGE)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
II watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the STRANGE)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the STRANGE)
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
STRANGE fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace
I'm going through

Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers

Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya

Little Miss Strange
By: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

No one knows where she comes from
Maybe she's a devil in disguise
I can't tell by lookin' in her eyes
Little miss Strange
Little miss Strange
Little miss Strange came into my parlour
I didn't know just what to ask her
I don't remember what we did after
Little miss Strange
Little miss Strange
Little miss Strange came out of the darkness
Walked across my head
And stood beneath the light
I told her 'bout the dream I had the other night
Little miss Strange
Little miss Strange

“Either Or Both” - Phoebe Snow

Sometimes these hands get so clumsy
That I drop things and people laugh
Sometimes these hands seem so graceful
I can see them signin' autographs

What I want to know from you
When you hear my plea
Do you like or love
Either or both of me
Do you like or love
Either or both of me

Sometimes this face looks so funny
That I hide it behind a book
But sometimes this face has so much class
That I have to sneak a second look

Sometimes this life gets so empty
That I become afraid
Then I remember you're in it
And I think I might still have it made

(I downloaded the album this song is on. I’ve always like Phoebe Snow.)

The girl of my best friend - Elvis

The way she walks
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can't help it, I'm in love
with the girl of my best friend
Her lovely hair
Her skin so fair
I could go on and never end
Oh I can't help it, I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend
I want to tell her how I love her so
And then hold her in my arms but then
What if she got real mad and told him so
I could never face EITHER one again
oh the way they kiss
Their happiness
Will my aching heart ever mend
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend
Never end
Will it ever end
Please let it end
Will it ever end

A real oldie came to mind. From 1937 !!


Let’s call the whole thing off - Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh, I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done
You say EITHER, I say either
You say neither and I say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off, yes
You like potato and I like potato
You like tomato and I like tomato
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas
I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
For we know, we need each other
So we better call the calling off, off
Oh, let's call the whole thing off, yes
You say laughter and I say larfter
You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter, after, arfter
Let's call the whole thing off
You like vanilla and I like vanella
You saspiralla and I saspirella
Vanilla, vanella, chocolate, strawberry
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And, oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters
I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters
For we know, we need each other
So we better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off
Yes, you say either and you say either
You say neither and you say neither
Either, either, a-neither, a-neither
Let's call the whole thing off, oh, yes
You like potato and you like potahto
You like tomato and you like tomahto
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So if you like pyjamas (I like pyjahmas)
I'll wear pyjamas (you got pyjamas)
For we know, we need each other
So we better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off (yes)

Out Of Control - SHE WANTS REVENGE

only registered users can see external links

With her high heel against the wall
Kind of dancing, though not at all
She had stockings running up to her thighs
Snaps her fingers to keep the time

From the back of the room I saw her there
I said she wants to be alone and I shouldn't dare
But then she noticed me glance at her
I had no choice but to dance with her

[Chorus]
The lights that move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady-beating, the sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control

I watched her feet move, her hips they sway
Does a hair flip then starts to say
Oh, my God, it's my favorite song
I pull her close and she sings along

We can't slow down even if we tried
If the record keeps spinning so will I
She likes disco and tastes like a tear
Tells me don't stop dancing and she's pulling me near

[Chorus]

We've got nowhere to go, we've got nothing to prove
Instead of dancing alone, I should be dancing with you
This song is turning me on, the beat is doing me in
Or maybe it's only you, but EITHER way, lets begin

Colorful
The Verve Pipe

The show is over, close the storybook
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Well, they're reaching for the door
I watch the backs as they leave single-file
You stood stubborn, cheering all the while

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be grey
And I know this loser's living fortunate
'Cause I know you will love me EITHER way

Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn't pantomine
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory
You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be grey
And I know this loser's living fortunate
I know you will love me either way

Look ahead as far as you can see
We live in drama, but we'll die in a comedy

I know I can be colorful (when you live in black and white)
I know I can be grey (my colors fade away)
And I know this loser's living fortunate
I know you will love me either way
I know I can be colorful (when you live in black and white)
I know I can be grey (my colors fade away)
And I know this loser's living fortunate
And I know you will love me
Yes, I know you will love me
I know you will love me either way

I Don't Wanna Stop ~ Ozzy Osbourne

I don't know what they're talking about
I'm making my own decisions
This thing that I found
Ain't gonna bring me down
I'm like a junkie without an addiction
Mama, don't cry
I just wanna say hi
Like playing with danger and fear
Everybody's walking, but nobody's talking
It looks a lot better from here
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're EITHER in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
Why don't they ever listen to me?
It's just a one-way conversation
Nothing they say is gonna set me free
Don't need no mental masturbation
Too many religions but only one God
I don't need another savior
Don't try to change my mind
You know I'm one of a kind
Ain't gonna change my bad behavior
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're EITHER in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're EITHER in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
Are you in there?
I don't wanna stop
Are you ever going to stop?
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Are you in there?
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Are you ever going to stop?
I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're EITHER in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're EITHER in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop

Promises ~ Def Leppard

Last night, I was blown away
I said a million things I'd never say
Was knocked right out, it got to me
Gonna get me some of your chemistry
You want me to (oh, oh, oh) promise you
That everything is true
that I can't keep
(I won't make promises) that I don't mean
(I'll even mean the things) I tell you in my sleep, yeah
I won't make promises, babe
I can't keep
Oh my, my, I lost control
I told you everything, I said it all
You came right out and said to me
"Gonna get me some of your honesty"
You want me to (oh, oh, oh) promise you
That everything is true
that I can't keep
(I won't make promises) that I don't mean
(I'll even mean the things) I tell you in my sleep, yeah

You want me to (oh, oh, oh) promise you
That everything is true
that I can't keep
(I won't make promises) that I don't mean

Oh, let me tell you
I won't say a single thing, darling, that you can't believe
You gotta believe me

Oh baby, believe me now

Yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now, touch me, babe
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
Now I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain

“Promises, Promises” - Naked Eyes

Never had a doubt in the beginning
Never a doubt
Trusted you true in the beginning
I loved you right through

Arm in arm, we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did

You made me promises (promises), promises
Knowing I'd believe
Promises (promises), promises
I knew you'd never keep

Second time around and I'm retreating
I'm losing my ground
This time around, there's no believing
What you wanted to have found

You were saying you and me
Are not your style or cup of tea

You made me promises (promises), promises
I knew you'd never keep
Promises (promises), promises
Why do I believe?

Arm in arm, we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did
And now you're saying you and me
Are not your style or cup of tea

You made me promises (promises), promises
I knew you'd never keep
Promises (promises), promises
Why do I believe all of your promises?
I knew you'd never keep
Promises (promises), promises
Why do I believe?

Promises (promises)
Promises (promises)

Thank you, Andthisisme, I DID NOT oversleep, I WAS NOT kidnapped, nothing nefarious happened. My relatively brand new iPhone, purchased March 18, 2025, pooped out and I was not able to go online, make calls, heck, I couldn’t answer calls because the darn phone was going CRAZY!

Fields Of Gold - Sting

only registered users can see external links

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love?
Upon the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made PROMISES lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

“The Promise” - Chris Cornell

If I had nothing to my name
But photographs of you
Rescued from the flames
That is all I would ever need
As long as I can read
What's written on your face

The strength that shines
Behind your eyes
The hope and light
That will never die

One promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done

And you said
"The poison in a kiss
Is the lie upon the lips"
Truer words were never shared
When I feel
Like lies are all I hear
I pull my memories near
The one thing they can't take

One promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done

The books still open
On the table
The bells still ringing
In the air
The dreams still clinging
To the pillow
The songs still singing
In a prayer

Now my soul
Is stretching through the roots
To memories of you
Back through time and space
To carry home
The faces and the names
And photographs of you
Rescued from the flames

One promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And dare to rise once more
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And fill the world with life
As we've always done

“Hold Me Now” - Thompson Twins

I have a picture
Pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me
And we're laughing
We're loving it all

But look at our life now
All tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight
And delight in the tears
That we cry until dawn
Oh, oh

Hold me now, oh-whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let lovin' start
Let lovin' start

You say I'm a dreamer
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching
For some perfect world
We know we'll never find

So, perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, yeah, and go far away
But you know that
There's nowhere that I'd rather be
Than with you here today
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa

Hold me now, oh-whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let lovin' start
Let lovin' start, oh-whoa

Hold me now, oh-whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
Whoa-oh-oh

You ask if I love you
Well, what can I say?
You know that I do
And that this is just
One of those games that we play

So, I'll sing you a new song
Please don't cry anymore
I'll even ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know
Just what I'm asking it for
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa

Hold me now (in your lovin' arms), oh-whoa
Warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (you wanna stay with me)
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
Whoa-oh

Hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms), oh-whoa
Warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (you wanna stay with me)
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
Whoa-oh

Hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms), oh-whoa
Warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (you wanna stay with me)
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
Whoa-oh

Hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms), oh-whoa
Warm my heart warm my cold and tired heart
Stay with me (you wanna stay with me)
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
Whoa-oh

Hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms), oh-whoa
Warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (you wanna stay with me)
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
Whoa-oh

I've Gotta Get a Message to You
By: The Bee Gees

The preacher talked to me and he smiled
Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile
Now for once in your life you're alone
But you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone"

I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

I told him I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life I'm alone,
And I've got to let her know just in time before I go

I've just go to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

Well I laughed but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt
Now I'm crying but deep down inside
Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on
Hold on
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on
I've just got to get a message to her, hold on, hold on

Love Will Tear Us Apart Again - JOY DIVISION

only registered users can see external links

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes HOLD
Just that something so good just can't function no more

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine
We been dancin' with
MR. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't' leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone
I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do

Gonna kick him on down the line
I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better

And it, it drove outta my mind
I should've known better, said I wish I never met her
Said, I leave it all behind
