Song of the moment...

"The Great Destroyer"

~Nine Inch Nails

Say your name.
Try to speak as clearly as you can.
You know everything gets written down.
Nod your head.
Just in case they could be watching.
With their shiny satellite.

I hope they cannot see.
The limitless potential.
Living inside of me.
To murder everything.
I hope they cannot see.
I am the great destroyer.

Turn it up.
Listen to the shit they pump into your head.
Filling you with apathy.
Hold your breath.
Wait until you know the time is right on time.
The end is near.

I hope they cannot see.
The limitless potential
Living inside of me.
To murder everything.
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer

"The Pretender"

~Foo Fighters

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance...that whole defense

It's been an infinity, oh
The wheel is spinning me
It's never ending
Never ending
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one in your place
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

In time or so i'm told
I'm just another soul for sale
Oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary
Temporary
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one in your place
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirroring your stare
I'm what's left
I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one in your place
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

So who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are YOUUUUUU!!!!

“Long Gone Day”~Mad Season
So much blood I'm starting to drown
Runs from cold to colder
Time to time the sky's come down
To help me lose my way
Tears and lies for answers
You and open veins, God knows I'm gone
Girl I just want you to
Come on down
Lord it's a storm and I'm heading to fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong, oh babe
Come on down

Long Gone Day
Mmmm, who ever said
We wash away with the rain

See you all from time to time
Isn't it so strange
How far away we all are now
Am I the only one who remembers that summer
Oh, I remember
Everyday each time the place was saved
The music that we made
The wind has carried all of that away

Long gone day
Mmmm, who ever said
We wash away with the rain

So many tears I'm starting to drown
The rain in heaven's all come down
Silver spoons affix the crown
The luckless ones are broken
Fears and lies for answers
You and open flames
God knows I'm gone
And I just want you to
Come on down, hmmm

Lord it's a storm am I heading to fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong
I want you to, oh, I just want you to
Come on down

I fear again, like then, I've lost my way
And shout to God to bring my sunny day

"I'M SLOWLY TURNING INTO YOU"~The White Stripes

I'm slowly turning into you
But you don't know this
Tell the truth
You say I'm lying and I never really tell you the truth
But your face is getting older
So put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, put your head on my shoulder

Yesterday it hit me that I do all the little things
That you do
Except the same little things that you do are annoying
They're annoying as hell in fact
It kinda struck a little bell in fact
I like to keep my little shell intact

And I'm slowly turning into you
And I'm slowly turning into you

Then something else came to mind
That was the mirror
It made everything clearer
That you're more beautiful compelling and stronger
It didn't take much longer
Just for me to realize I love all the little things
And the beauty that they're gonna bring
I dig your little laugh and I'm lovin' your quick wit
I even love it when you're faking it
And it might sound a little strange for me to say to you
But I'm proud to be you

And I'm slowly turning into you
And I'm slowly turning into you
And I'm slowly turning into you
And I'm slowly turning into you.

"The Patient"

~Tool

A groan of tedium escapes me,
Startling the fearful.
Is this a test? It has to be,
Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience, drain vitality.
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here.

Wait it out,
Gonna wait it out,
Be patient (wait it out).

If there were no reward to (reap / heal),
(No / A) loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
Gonna wait it out.

If there were no desire to heal
A damaged and broken man along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now.

And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may.

Be patient.
I must keep reminding myself of this.

And if there were no rewards to (reap / heal),
(No / A) loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
And I still may.

Gonna wait it out.

"HAIL, HAIL"

~Pearl Jam

Ah, is there room for both of us
Both of us apart
Are we bound out of obligation
Is that all we've got?

I get the words and then I get to thinkin'
I don't wanna think, I wanna feel
How do I feel?
How do I?

If you're the only one will I never be enough, yeah
Hail, Hail the lucky ones
I refer to those in love, yeah

Oh, how I'd love ya till the day I die... and beyond
Are we goin' to the same place?
If so can I come?
It's egg rollin' , thick and heavy
All, the past we carry
Oh, I could be new
You under-estimate me

If you're the only one will I never be enough, yeah
Hail, Hail the lucky ones
I refer to those in love, yeah

I sometimes realize...I could only be as good as you'll let me
Are you woman enough to be my man?
Bandaged hand in hand.

Black lining,
On the run, in a race that can't be won, yeah

Oh, Hail, Hail the lucky ones
I refer to those in love, yeah

If you're my only one
So good, you, only one
I want to be your one
Enough, you won, your one, your one

“LIFE WASTED”
~Pearl Jam

You're always saying that there's something wrong,...
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...

Death came around, forced to hear its song,...
And know tomorrow can't be depended on.

I seen the home inside your head,...
All locked doors and unmade beds.
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that

I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

I escaped it,... A life wasted,..
I'm never going back again.

Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again

The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else.

Nothing back there for you to find,...
Or was it you, you left behind?

You're always saying you're too weak to be strong,...
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone,...

Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves,... tell me,
why invite it to stay?

You're warm with negativity,
Yes, comfort is an energy,...
But why let the sad song play?

I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

Oh I escaped it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

Oh I erased it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

"ANGEL BABY"
Rosie And The Originals
It's just like heaven being here with you
You're like an angel too good to be true
But after all, I love you, I do
Angel Baby, my Angel Baby
When you are near me my heart skips a beat
I can hardly stand on my own two feet
Because I love you, I love you, I do
Angel Baby, my Angel Baby
Oooh, I love you, ooooh I do
No one could love you like I do
oooooooooh oooooooooh oooooooh ooooooh ooooh ooooh oooooooh ooooh oooh
Please never leave me blue and alone
If you ever go I'm sure you'll come back home
Because I love you, I love you, I do
Angel Baby, my Angel Baby
it's just like heaven being with you dear
I could never stay away without you near
because i love you, i love you
i do, Angel Baby, my Angel Baby
Oooooh, I love you, oooh I do. No one could love you like I do.

"SOMETHING I CAN NEVER HAVE"
~Nine Inch Nails

i still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head 'til i don't want to sleep anymore

you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have

you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart
grey would be the color if i had a heart
come on, tell me

you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have

in this place it seems like such a shame
though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be
come on, tell me

you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make it all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
i just want something i can never have

“Blaze Of Glory”
~ Jon Bon Jovi

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind

When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can

I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun

You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I've known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun

Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a bullet
Let me make my final stand

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun

A little ditty about my soul mate, Denise...

Sorry I’m calling after 2 a.m.

There’s something that I need to say to you

I know it’s lateBut this can’t wait

One love, one woman

You’re my new tattoo

Tonight is the very first night of my life with you

Until the day I die

I promise it’s true

Everyone will see my new tattoo

Tonight I saw your face up in the stars

Stumbled here to paint you on my arm

There’s something that I need to say to you

So I wrote this song

Cause you belong

Right here on my new tattoo

One love, one woman

You’re my new tattoo

Tonight is the very first night of my life with you

Until the day I dieI promise it’s true

Everyone will see my new tattoo

Tonight I saw your face up in the stars

Stumbled here to paint you on my arm

There’s something that I need to say to you

"Every Time I Eat Vegetables It Makes Me Think Of You"

~The Ramones

She was a really good friend

A really good friend to me, yeah

She was a really good friend

A really good friend to me, yeah

But they took her away

Tossed her in the bin

Now she's hanging out

In East Berlin, ow-ooo

She had a very bad affair

With some cat from Hiroshima

She turned into a head of lettuce

She eats Thorazine in her farina

But they took her away

Tossed her in the bin

Now she's hanging outIn East Berlin, ow-ooo

And everytime I eat vegetables

It makes me think of you

And everytime I eat vegetables

I don't know what to do, to do ow-ooo

"I’ll Hold You in My Heart Till I Can Hold You In My Arms"

Elvis Presley... (words & music by t. dilbeck)

I said I’d hold you in my heart ’till I can hold you in my arms

Like you’ve never been held before

Well I’ll think of you each day and then I’ll dream the night away

Oh, ’till you are in my arms once more

The stars up in the sky, you know they know the reason why

I feel so blue ’cause I’m away from you

Yeah I’ll hold you in my heart ’till I can hold you in my arms

Oh darling please wait for me

"Real Love"

~John Lennon

All my little plans and schemes

Lost like some forgotten dream

Seems like all I really was doing

Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys

Playing with their little toys

Seems like all they really were doing

Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone

No need to be alone

It's real love

It's real, yes it's real love

It's real

From this moment on I know

Exactly where my life will go

Seems that all I really was doing

Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid

No need to be afraid

It's real love

It's real, yes it's real love

It's real

Thought I'd been in love before,

But in my heart I wanted more

Seems like all I really was doing

Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone

No need to be alone

It's real love

Yes it's real, yes it's real love

It's real, yes it's real love...

"Sabbra Cadabra"

BLACK SABBATH

Feel so good I feel so fine

Love that little lady always on my mind

Gives me lovin' every night and day

Never gonna leave her, never goin' away

Someone to love me

You know she makes me feel alright

Someone who needs me

Love me every single night

Feel so happy since I met that girl

When we're making love it's something out of this world

Feels so good to know that she's all mine

Going to love that woman 'til the end of time

Someone to live for

Love me 'til the end of time

Makes me feel happy

Good to know that she's all mine

Lovely lady make love all night long

"Land Of Sunshine"

FAITH NO MORE

You have a winning way, so keep itYour future

You are an angel heading for the land of sunshine

And fortune is smiling upon you

Prepare for a series of comfortable miracles

From fasting to feasting

And life to you is a dashing bold adventure

So sing and rejoice

And look for the dream that keeps coming back

Your future

Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a handshake

Cuz everything is not yet lost
Does life seem worthwhile to you?

HERE'S HOW TO ORDER!

Yes, hmm hmm, now for the next question

Does emotional music have quite an effect on you?

Do you feel sometimes like age is against you?

Sing and rejoice and sing and rejoice

Yes, hmm hmm, that's interesting.

But tell me, do you often sing or whistle just for fun?

Do you feel sometimes like age is against you?

I, I can help - I can help you - I can help you help yourself!
Does life seem worthwhile to you?

HERE'S HOW TO ORDER!

"Never Talking To You Again"

Foo Fighters

There are things that I'd like to say,
But I'm never talking to you again.
Things I'd like to phrase someway,
I'm never talking to you again.
Never talking to you again.
Never talking to you.
Tired of wasting all my time
Trying to talk to you.

I'd put you down where you belong,
But I'm never talking to you again.
Show you every way you're wrong,
I'm never talking to you again.
Never talking to you again.
Never talking to you.
Tired of wasting all my time
Trying to talk to you.
Talking to you...

I'm never talking to you again.
Never talking to you again.
Tired of wasting all my time
Trying to talk to you.

"I'LL FOLLOW THE SUN"

The Beatles

One day, you'll look to see I've gone

For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

Some day you'll know I was the one.

But, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

And now the time has come, and so, My Love, I must go.

And though I lose a friend, in the end you will know. Oh, oh...

One day, you'll find that I have gone.

For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

Yes, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

And now the time has come, and so, My Love, I must go.

And though I lose a friend, in the end you will know. Oh, oh...

One day, you'll find that I have gone.

But, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

"THAT'S WHAT I GET"

Nine Inch Nails

Just when everything was making sense

You took away all my self-confidence

Now all that i've been hearing must be true

I guess i'm not the only boy for you

But that's what i get

That's what i get

That's what i get

That's what i get

How could you turn us into this?

After you just taught me how to kiss you.

I told you i'd never say goodbye.

Now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry.

But that's what i get

That's what i get

That's what i get

That's what i get

Why does it come as a surprise

To think that i was so naive

Maybe didn't mean so much

But it meant everything to me

But that's what i get

That's what i get

That's what i get

That's what i get

"Breaking My Heart"

Matt Hales... Aqualung

Need to know
I don't want to know
Already know
I've seen the signs
I watch you as you pull yourself away from me

Can't believe
Want to believe
How can I believe
When you make me doubt
I thought I knew you
I don't even know myself

I'm losing faith, I'm losing all faith

You're breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart again
Don't ask me to start
Ask me to start
Don't ask me to start again
Start again

Want to fight
Afraid to fight
Why don't I fight and make you see
I hold my breath
And disappear inside myself

I'm losing strength, I'm losing all faith

I'm losing you
I'm losing you

---------------------

(Man... I'm telling you, that dude can write songs! I think I'll order the other Aqualung CD. I love that sad-like music!)
