It's Trip Through Your Wires - U2

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

Ripple - Grateful dead (One of my favorite lyrics)



And you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls.

[aeroport]

Ha! "La Grange" - ZZ Top

So I'm moving on.
I'll never forget
As you lay there and watched me,
Accepting the end.
I knew you were scared -
You were strong, I was trying.
I gave you my hand,
I said it's okay, let it go,
Time to leave here.
And I'll carry on
The best that I can without you here beside me.
Let'em come take you home.
:bawling:

[papayahed]

then i thought nothing is right
i turned it off

[Basil]

Unsung - Helmet


Take a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will

[kilted exile]

Roses Are Free - Chocolate & Cheese


I'm the state of the art

Cat Steven ~ Trouble (I've never heard of the song or the artist in my life)


Unforgettable, thats what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

[Scheherazade]

Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.

[Basil]

Windmills of Your Mind - Sting


The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. Performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he’ll undertake on solid ground.
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all....

[Idril]

Cat Steven ~ Trouble (I've never heard of the song or the artist in my life)

Oh, I know that one too! Werewolves in London by Warren Zevon.

To talk about the teachers that you hate.

So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long....

Jesus Built My Hot Rod - Ministry



But I won't sit idly by
(Ahhh...)

For what I want to be

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

[Basil]

And I know this one, too: Waiting Room - Fugazi


There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts

[Idril]

Oh, I know that one! I listen to it all the time and I absolutely love it, Birdhouse In Your Soul by They Might Be Giants.

Wonderful Everclear Tluvmcjones12 helps out...

Caught in the chaos in the market square

Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways
The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze
Ah, look at that crowd!

[tluvmcjones12]

[Treesy-boi]

Dashboard Confessional-This is a forgery

I had a dream
When I was young
A dream of sweet illusion
A glimpse of hope and unity
And visions of one sweet union

And a dark rain falls
And in my heart it shows
Look what they've done to my dream, yeah

[papayahed]

Idril: Glorified G - Pearl Jam

Turning Japanese - The Vapors



I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives

[Riesa]

Hells Bells ~ AC/DC :blush:


I was born on this rock
And I've been travelin' through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
You know, I'm ready for the final surprise
There ain't no way around it
Ain't nothing to say
That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin' darker outside

[Idril]

Space Cowboy by Steve Miller


Well, maybe you're a dancer, and maybe I'm the King of Old Siam.
I thought it through... best to let the illusion roll.
I wouldn't say I've never heard that tale before,
my frozen little senorita,
but if your dream is good, why not share it when the nights are cold?

[Treesy-boi]

She Said She Was A Dancer- Crest Of A Knave...googled

I’m just tryin’ to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother, everythin’ to everyone
Up and at ‘em bright and early, I’m all business in my suit
Yeah I’m dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots
I don’t do it for money, there’s bills I that I can’t pay
I don’t do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
Providing for our future’s, my responsibility
Yeah I’m real good under pressure, being all that I can be
And I can’t call in sick on Mondays when the weekend’s been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays, and sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door
Hey I’m solid, hey I’m steady, hey I’m true down to the core.

[Scheherazade]

American Soldier - Toby Keith
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot, then we can die.

[Shalot]

Take Me Out - FRANZ FERDINAND


Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded

If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
with you.

A Good Day In Hell ~ Eagles (I knew it was the Eagles but I had to google the name of the song :blush: )


I keep your picture upon the wall.
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.
So don't you ask me to give it back.
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me.

[aeroport]

Tori Amos! Yes!! "I'm Not in Love"


Look around this world we made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man
Oh what a wide contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the red star proudly high in hand

[Basil]

2112 - Rush

Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says . . . says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.

[Idril]

Tori Amos! Yes!! "I'm Not in Love"

Did Tori Amos do a cover of that song? I was thinking of the original by 10CC but I guess it doesn't matter as long as you got the song right. :D

Basil, I always love your songs because I know them right away and it gives me such a little thrill. :blush: :lol: That's New Year's Day by U2


Well it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you
when you can see you were only high
It's all up to you so you gamble
flat on your face and into the fire

[Treesy-boi]

Alice in Chains-Right Turn Googled the name but not the artist.

"With a little love, and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
We'll take the world together"

[Pendragon]

Hold My Hand ~ Hootie & The Blowfish (Song familiar, had to google the artist, and they are familiar also!)


She was born with her mother's habit:
You could say: "It's in her blood."
She hates that she's gotta have it:
As she fills her glass up.
An she'd love to kill that bottle,
But all she can think about,
Is a, a better life, a second chance,
An' everyone she's letting down.
She throws that bottle down.

[Basil]

Some People Change - Kenny Chesney

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well, something's lost but something's gained
In living every day...

[Idril]

Both Sides Now ~ Joni Mitchell


Hangin' round downtown by myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think about myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly

[Shalot]

Is that Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground? And I thought you were cool.

That reminds me of this little gem of a song:


My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child
Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files
So yo. what' s happening now?
I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds
and a vision of you standing out in a crowd.

Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

[Idril]

Is that Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground? And I thought you were cool.

Ahhh, are you saying Sex and Candy isn't cool? I love that song, it's one of those songs that's just so ridiculous it's charming. :p

And that song is Butterfly by Crazy Town...is it bad that I knew it right away? Does it help that I had to look up the artist? Do I still have any street cred left? ;) :p If it helps at all, I don't actually like the song, I just, for some strange reason, knew it. :blush:


My pain is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

[Shalot]

River of Deceipt - Mad Season

And I know I am not cool ~ I have to google practically everything!

And yeah, that Marcy Playground song is pretty decent except for the fact that it was so overplayed and that detracted from it's overall coolness (as was the butterfly sugar baby song --- I guess that's why I associate the two. But the butterfly song is ridiculous, not cool. Maybe it was goodthe first time you heard it, but really, it's just silly!)


If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is...

[Idril]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I had to google this one:

Ace of Spades ~ Motorhead.


If you were a pill
I'd take a handful at my will
And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong

[Shalot]

Valentine - Replacements



Where is the ritual
And tell me where where is the taste
Where is the sacrifice
And tell me where where is the faith
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away

[Pendragon]

Cure for Pain ~ Elvezio Sciallis (Googled artist)



I was coming to the end of a long long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge
Followed me on to it

[papayahed]

Moments by Emerson drive



I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look what's your game
Are you trying to put me in shame
I said slow don't talk so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love Lord above
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love

[Adolescent09]

Rod Stewart - Alright Now


Somewhere theres a river
Looking for a stream
Somewhere theres a dreamer
Looking for a dream
Somewhere theres a drifter
Trying to find his way
Somewhere someones waiting
To hear somebody say
......
Somewhere theres an angel
Trying to earn his wings
Somewhere theres a silent voice
Learning how to sing
Some of us cant move ahead
Were paralyzed with fear
And everybodys listening
cause we all need to hear

[papayahed]

Rod Stewart - Alright Now:eek: :eek: Rod Stewart remade this song??????????? doh!:sick: I used to like the guy now he seems kinda swarmy.

[Pendragon]

'Dole that's Amanda Marshall - Believe In You


Sweet mother, she sang in the Sunday choir
On her head was a halo, she spoke brimstone and fire
Daddy lived by the bottle, Daddy died by the barn
Well, he froze one night, Mama said "Serves him right"
"The devil can keep him warm"

[Shalot]

It's either called Departure or Old Fashioned Love (sorry, the song title wasn't clear when I googled :blush: )


Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a turnin' back
To livin' that old life no more

[Pendragon]

Actually, neither: Cain's Blood by 4 Runner

Read "Jesus saves" on a bathroom door
Just before I passed out

[Idril]

One More Believer ~ Bobby Pinson (googled)


Hey Jack, now for the tricky part
When you were the brightest star
Who were the shadows?
Of the San Francisco beat boys
You were the favourite
Now they sit and rattle their bones
And think of their blood stoned days

[Basil]

Hey Jack Kerouak - 10000 Maniacs

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

[Idril]

Boys Don't Cry ~ The Cure


The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you

[Basil]

Dear Prudence - The Beatles (GREAT song)


Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"

[Idril]

It is a great song, in fact, I think it may very well be my favorite Beatles song.


That is Down Under by Men at Work.

And a little something from what I'm listening to at the moment,


I'm standing at the altar
As they play the wedding march
I'm in a black tuxedo with my collar full of starch
She looks as lovely as she's ever gonna get
I wake up from this nightmare in a pool of sweat

[Pendragon]

Love Rears It's Ugly Head ~ Living Coulor (googled)



Living in the city where the walls have ears
People judge you by the words they hear
Shake their heads while they chew your name
And then they write it on a wall

People see you and they turn their heads
Whisper words you might have said
Point to a spot where you may have bled
Then they write it on a wall

[Shalot]

Everly Brothers - Born Yesterday


Little TV sets, goin' off inside my ear
Spaceman floating by
Firecracker beer
Chased a demon's lightning
Music hits your eye
Up and down the sidewalk
Take a Doo Doo Pie

[Pendragon]

Looking for love in between

Its a wonderful time to be here
Its nice to be alive
Wonderful people everywhere
The way they comb their hair
Makes me want to say

[Shalot]

I Love You ~ Fiest? (Came from SNL, but who knows where it went? Google is unclear)

Yes, it was song from a Saturday Night Skit when Britney Spears was the host. Woodrow was the character who sang it and he stole a mailbox because it had secrets about him in it. I just love SNL skits.

Me and you

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

I like watchin' the puddles gather rain

"No rain" by Blind Melon.

And I don't hear you anymore

And all the times you lied to yourself
And all the dreams we had just might

[THX-1138]

Breakdown-Joydrop


There are stars
In the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight

[Basil]

Kathy, what on earth are you talking about? :D
Just babbling, as usual. :p

Ok, back to THX-1138's lyrics. :D

We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

Mrs Roinson - Simon and Garfunkel
Why am I so shy, why am I so shy.
Good times you know they just seem to pass me by.
Why am I so shy.

[Idril]

Lisa Says by Velvet Underground


There were girls in the front
There were girls in the back
And there were girls pettin' squirrels
And there were squirrels smokin' crack
With an old Navy Seal and the DEA
And a loaded automatic just to blow me all away

[Shalot]

The Shame of Life - Butthole Surfers


I was looking for some Fudge Tunnel lyrics to follow up but it was all just heavy metal and angry screaming and I couldn't make it out so we'll just go with these:


Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival
Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival

Step right up and don’t be shy,

You get to talk to a pretty girl
She’s everything you dream about

[Basil]

She's A Beauty - The Tubes (man, I used to love this song!)


Reached in his pocket, took all his cash
Left my man standing with an egg moustache
Suckers they come a dime a dozen
And when I say dozen, you know what I'm talking about...boy-ee

[Idril]

Egg Man ~ Beastie Boys


And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.

[Basil]

Jugband Blues - Pink Floyd

You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite
That's choking on the splinters

[Shalot]

James River Blues - Old Crow Medicine Show

What a retard --- I thought I was in Song Title Game

Guess it's too late to correct now, but if someone is ever scrolling through, they'll see this and know that I at least know that I have, on more than one occasion, POSTED IN THE WRONG DAMN THREAD

[Dante Wodehouse]

Don't know if you're going to put lyrics, shalot.


As we divide against each other
And we fight amongst ourselves
Too set in our ways to try to rearrange
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song
Let the bells ring out

[Pendragon]

U2 ~ Like a Song




And the last time I walked in the swamp,
I sat upon a Cypress stump,
I listened close and I heard the ghost,
Of Osceola cry.

[Shalot]

That's Seminole Wind - John Anderson

For some reason that one reminds me of this one (maybe because I went through a country music phase and I was introduced to these two around the same time...)


Then a drunken man in a cowboy suit took me by surprise
Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes
He said 'Friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care'
Then the wind picked up and he was gone
Was he ever really there

Whats a Nudi suit?

[Pendragon]

Dunno, Shalot, but that's a favorite of mine Midnight in Montgomery ~ Alan Jackson

(For the record, I always thought he said "movie suit", as in one presently out of fashion...)



No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection na na
No love injection na na
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'cause it hurts like hell

[Idril]

Ooooh, that's from the movie Labyrinth and it was sung by David Bowie of course but I don't know that I ever knew the actual name of the song...ok, a quick google search says the name of the song is Underground. Good song and a great movie.



In the summer we'll sit in a field and watch the sun melt
In the winter we'll sit by a fire and watch the moon freeze
Me my old man and a hundred and twenty babies

[Shalot]

When I Grow Up - Michelle Shocked


I told the priest, Don't count on any second coming
God got his *** kicked the first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don't wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us

oh yeah, I am going to hell

[papayahed]

Tomorrow Wendy by Concrete Blonde


Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart
Now she's a cool, cool black
Moves like a cat
If you don't get her game
You might not make it back

[Basil]

Looks That Kill - Motley Crue


We got into a car, away we started rollin'
I said, "How much you pay for this," she said "Nothing man, it's stolen."

Dead Milkman ~ PunkRock Girl (Knew the song but had to google title and artist! I am so behind the times!) http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/chief.gif



First they’ll you can't sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep
With somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself

My Life ~ Billy Joel


You've got a dozen men behind you
You've got dead flowers on the floor
You're too pretty in the daylight
It keeps them coming back for more

The One Thing - INXS



I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name

Feel Like a Number - Bob Seger


Josie's on a vacation far away

Come around and talk it over.
So many things that I wanna say

You know I like my girls a little bit older.

[Idril]

Your Love ~ The Outfield, I'll never forget that guy's high, squeaky voice.


Well, you can have your yams
You can have your collard greens
But if you want to please little ol' me
You better fix butterbeans

[Shalot]

B-52s Butterbean



The woman was a dream I had though rather hard to keep
For when my eyes were watching hers, they closed, and I was still asleep
For when my hand was holding hers, she whispered words and I awoke
And faintly bouncing around the room the echo of whomever spoke
I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room the echo of whomever spoke
:thumbs_up :thumbs_up

[Pendragon]

Bouncing Around the Room ~ Phish



Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

[Idril]

I'm having flashbacks to bible camp :p...One Tin Soldier ~ Coven


I opened my eyes
While you were kissing me once more than once
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does,
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love

[kathycf]

Fiona Apple-Parting Gift. (had to google that one)


Watch a heel crush, crush.
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

[THX-1138]

R.E.M -Its the end of the world as we know it.



This little light of mine, a gift you passed onto me,
I'm gonna let it shine,

Your way home...

Tool - 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) (I had heard this, but I had to google...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Blues.gif)



Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Upset because her baby just aint treatin her right
So afraid of being alone
Said she heard some stories hes been runnin around
Said somehow she knows its all true
She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
She said she dont know what to do

[Pendragon]

I'm having flashbacks to bible camp :p...One Tin Soldier ~ CovenYep! Also theme song for the Billy Jack films. Which is what I remember it from. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Black_panther.gif

[Idril]

Yep! Also theme song for the Billy Jack films. Which is what I remember it from. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Black_panther.gif

I never saw those, I just remember it from the millions of times we requested to sing it at either bible camp or sunday school. I think the counselors got so sick of that song though because everytime we would request it, they would roll their eyes. My mom, who was the musical director of our sunday school said she didn't have a problem with the song itself but it wasn't "theologically relevant". :lol:

The Harder They Fall ~ John Denver



when the weather's fine, when it's sunny outside
think about the time I kicked a boy 'til he cried
oh, I could've been wrong, but I don't think I was
he was such a child

[Dante Wodehouse]

I Kicked a Boy~ Sundays


We'll scorch the earth,
Set fire to the sky.
We stoop so low
To reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone.
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a hunter child

With long division and writing crop
Anybody can feel like a winner

[Pendragon]

Bad Religion ~ Let Them Eat War? (My son's music!)



He said it's only life's illusions
That bring us to this bar
To pick up these old crutches
And compare each other's scars
'Cuz the things we're calling heartache
Hell, they're hardly worth our time
We ***** about a dollar
When there's those without a dime.

[papayahed]

Ships That Dont Come In - Joe Diffie


You knew that I was coming cause you heard my name
But you don't know my game and never felt my pain
Can't read my brain but you read my lips
And got scared when you heard that I was coming with hits
Now don't even trip, be a man instead
Give thanks I'm alive when I should be dead

[aeroport]

I know this one!
"Devil Without a Cause" -- Kid Rock
Ask not how I know this.


Whiskey, gin and brandy
With a glass I'm pretty handy
I'm trying to walk a straight line
On sour mash and cheap wine
So join me for a drink boys
We're gonna make a big noise

So don't worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the cheque
We'll get hell to pay

[Idril]

Have A Drink On Me ~ AC/DC...I'm not a huge metal fan but I do like that album. :thumbs_up

The choice is yours to be loved
Come away from an emptier boat.

Sea Legs - The Shins



There's a hold up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.
There's a scout troup short a child,
Kruschev's due at Idlewild

Dear God -XTC (love this song)


King meets queen, then the puppy love thing, together dream
Bout that crib with the goodyear swing
On the oak tree, I hope we feel like this forever:
Forever? Forever ever? Forever ever?

[aeroport]

I never understood all the words, but, given the last line, I'm going to say:
"Miss Jackson" -- Outkast


Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

[Basil]

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica

Fun Forum Fact: Papayahed used this song--with the same choice of lyrics--on the very first page of this thread. It is so sad that I know this.


So let it rock, let it roll
Let the bible belt come and save my soul
Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon, make us women and men

[Idril]

Jack and Diane ~ John Cougar...Mellencamp...I don't know what he was going by at the time, I think both.



Half moon in the sky tonight, bright enough
to come up with an answer
to the question why is it that every time I see you
my love grows a little stronger
But your memory leaves my stomach churning,
feeling like a lie about to be revealed

[Pendragon]

The Caution Horses ~ The Sun Comes Up (It's Tuesday Morning)

A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

You're close but not quite. :p The Caution Horses is the album the song is from and The Sun Comes Up... is a different song from that disc but the song I was looking for was Cause Cheap Is How I Feel and it's by the Cowboy Junkies. :)

Big Wave ~ Pearl Jam


I left a man
Asleep in the nude
name in my pocket
With lipstick and rouge
Everything I ever wanted,
What a lovely pie you baked,

Don't the painted birds ever fly away

[Basil]

Ordinary Morning - Sheryl Crow


And on the bus today, I met the queen of L.A.
At least she said she was and who am I to say?
She was sixty-five and full of life,
She had purple-painted cheeks
And glitter on her eyes
And the troll on the corner, I flipped him a quarter
And he looked at me and smiled.

[Idril]

Still In Hollywood ~ Concrete Blonde


I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely

[Basil]

Raspberry Beret - Prince


But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

[Idril]

Oh, I loved that song once upon a time, haven't heard it for ages though...Logical Song by Supertramp, at least that's the version I remember.


I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time

The right band, the wrong song. :p ;) It's Just What I Needed.

And yours is Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams.

And you'll realise that you love me.

Aqualung ~ Strange & Beautiful (Use it for a jeans comercial now!)



Left a good job in the city,
Working for The Man every night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.

[Nightshade]

Proud mary-- tina turner


So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf


Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him

To stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk-***

Santeria - Sublime


Rise up, gather 'round
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up, let's go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke
Rock on! (rock on!)
Drive me crazier
No serenade, no fire brigade
Just a pyromania, cmon!

[Shalot]

Rock of Ages - Def Leppard

Pour Some Sugar On Me -Def Leppard

Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel


There's a sad sort of clanging

An absurd little bird

Coo-coo, coo-coo

Farwell Song from The Sound of Music (Lord, how many times have I seen that?)



Well baby since you ask me
What you can do for me
Now that my heart is broken
And my mind is full of misery--
Don't tell me the truth
My heart can't stand that yet
Wisper me some sweet deceit
To help me to forget...

[Pendragon]

The reason all of you can't find this song is that it is called Tell Me Lies, (C) 1986. I wrote it.



Tell Me Lies

Well baby since you ask me
What you can do for me
Now that my heart is broken
And my mind is full of misery--
Don't tell me the truth
My heart can't stand that yet
Wisper me some sweet deceit
To help me to forget...

Tell me lies...
Whisper softly in my ear
Tell me lies...
Paint a picture sweet and clear
Tell me lies..
The truth hurts to much to hear
So tell me lies...

Tell me I'm sexy
When I know that I'm not
Tell me that you want me
That this body's smoking hot
Tell me that your truly love
Every single thing I say and do
Oh, Baby, tell me anything
As long as it ain't true...

Morrissey - We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful



Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never
coming round
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to
the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best
of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see
the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

Total eclipse of the heart - Bonnie Tyler???? (maybe)

Take it hip to hip rockin through the wilderness
All around the world the trip begins with a kiss...."

[Basil]

So Weird - Veruca Salt


A man walks down the street
He says "Why am I short of attention,
Got a short little span of attention
And oh my nights are so long.
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone, gone."

[Aunty-lion]

You can call me Al - Paul Simon

"I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through

[Basil]

The Winner Takes It All - ABBA


It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places....

[Aunty-lion]

Running up that hill - Kate Bush

"Well, Im a thinkin and thinkin, till theres nothin I aint thunk.

Can't Find My Way Home ~ Steve Winwood (Googled! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Embarassed.gif)



Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town,
Held in time in a world of tears I slowly drown.
Goin' home; I just can't make it all alone.
I really should be holding you, holding you,
Loving you, loving you.


And yep, Auntie, that was Bonnie Tyler! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Goth.gif

Tragedy - The Bee Gees


Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some

Revel in your abandon

Honey, it don't make no difference to me
Baby, everybody's had to fight to be free...

[Idril]

Oh, I love that song, Refugee by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.


We may still have time

Crazy on You - Heart


I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean;
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

[Idril]

Gordon Lightfoot ~ Sundown. That's a good song too, reminds me of summers at the lake.


With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack
Shes touring the facility and picking up slack

Short Skirt/Long Jacket


She was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know how much I loved ya so

LA Guns ~ Ballad of Jayne...I seem to remember we had a conversation about this song once about the fact that there's a made up song on the tv show Firefly called The Ballad of Jayne...or am I dreaming?


We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance

[Shalot]

Safety Dance - Men without hats (or something like that)

yeah, I think that did take place -- had the song on my mind because I found all these eighties hairband videos on MySpace yesterday and that was one of them.



There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

[Basil]

If you never saw the video for Safety Dance, you owe to yourself to check it out. I wish I had a dwarf-jester sidekick. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkyPZ08YhNg

Shalot's song is King of Pain by the Police


I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore

[Shalot]

If you never saw the video for Safety Dance, you owe to yourself to check it out. I wish I had a dwarf-jester sidekick. :D

The Nile Song -Pink Floyd (I knew it was a Pink Floyd song, but I couldn't think which one. AND I own the album. :()


Another Saturday, another date.
She would be ready but she'd always make him wait.
In the hallway, in anticipation,
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.

[Aunty-lion]

Come dancing - The Kinks


A man of riches
May claim a crown of jewels
But the king of heaven
Can be told from the prince of fools

[Idril]

The Nile Song -Pink Floyd (I knew it was a Pink Floyd song, but I couldn't think which one. AND I own the album. :()

It's one of my favorite songs from their early years. Dave has that heavy metal scream which is so incredibly unusual for him. One of the things I love the most about him is his beautiful, melodic voice but it's nice to hear him let it rip at least once in awhile.

Aunty-lion, your song is By The Mark by Gillian Welch...I had to google that one.


’cause I gonna make you see
There’s nobody else here
No one like me
I’m special so special
I gotta have some of your attention give it to me

I hope your chicken's raw inside
And I hope your bun is stale
I'm supposed to tell you
"Please come back"
But how bout this instead?
I hope you both choke on a pickle
Man, that would tickle me to death
I don't know what you're waiting on
You're holding up the line
Oh man, you ain't got no change coming back

Oh my gosh, that song brings back memories...Sister Christian ~ Night Ranger

Beast For Thee - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy


Made of plastic and elastic

Love without complications galore

Many shapes and weights to choose from

I will never cry at night again
Wrap my arms around him and pretend

Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year

[Basil]

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle (googled, but I should've gotten this one)


But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
The torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors, they come slowly undone
Can't this wait 'til I'm old,
Can't I live while I'm young?

[Idril]

Chalk Dust Torture ~ Phish


I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

What I Am by EDIE BRICKELL


My mother was a witch, she was burned alive.

We tore one down and erected another there
The match of the century: absence versus thin air

Heart Cooks Brain ~ Modest Mouse...I just got a bunch of Modest Mouse, not that anyone cares but I just had to add that. :blush:


I tried to love her back
And then I shrunk back into my wrap

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

[Idril]

Great song...Lola ~ The Kinks


You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
A treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me eyes in a world of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest

All I Want is You - U2

We'll hold hands an' then we'll watch the sun rise

But first

Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix


Sitting round, singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start

[Shakira]

The Ocean by Led Zeppelin.


You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

[Idril]

Beautiful Day ~ U2


Well I'm lying in the dew
And I'm staring at the stars
Yeah He laid me down this blanket
Now I call this blanket grass
And the sun is my alarm
And the moon she makes me dream
And my food is wild honey pie
And water from the stream, thank you world

[Pendragon]

World Party ~ Thank You World



Hey baby, is that you?
Wow, your hair got so long
Yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do
'Norma Jean', ain't that the song
We'd sing in the car
Drivin' downtown, top down
Making the rounds
Checking out the bands on Doheny Avenue

[Idril]

These Days ~ Rascal Flatts...had to google that one.


A. You're gay
B. You've got a girlfriend
C. You kinda thought I came on too strong or
D. I just wasn't your thing
no ring

[Aunty-lion]

Hey Boy - The Blow (I googled this which I have not done before. Is this band good??)


This is the story of the boys who loved you
who love you now and loved you then
and some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you
and some just laid around in bed
and some had crumbled you straight to your knees
did it cruel, did it tenderly
and some had crawled their way into your heart
to rend your ventricles apart
this is the story of the boys who loved you...

The other verses of this song are very romantic. It's my song with my boy (like 'our song' you know?)

[Idril]

Hey Boy - The Blow (I googled this which I have not done before. Is this band good??)


I like them for what that's worth. They are different from what I normally listen to, very electronic but they work for me. I don't know if you're old enough to remember the Tom Tom Club but that's who they remind me of.

And your song is the Decemberists ~ Red Right Ankle.


I gotta job waiting for my graduation
Fifty thou a year will buy a lotta beer
Things are going great, and they’re only getting better
I’m doing all right, getting good grades

[Pendragon]

Timbuk 3 - The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades



My brother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole life saving souls
When he looked at me and his blook ran cold
He didnt even try

I had no dreams and I had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
Warden said 'How come you killed that man?'
I said 'I dont know why'

[Shalot]

Born and Raised in Black and White - Brooks and Dunn


If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
you win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is

[kiz_paws]

The Ace of Spades -- Motorhead


Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief

[Pendragon]

U2 ~ From the Movie Afterword



We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But it can't run away from what I am

[kiz_paws]

Half Breed -- Mary Dean and Al Capps

Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills gainst mosquito death
My buddys breathin his dyin breath

[Idril]

Rooster ~ Alice in Chains! Great song!


Fan the flames
With a little lie
Then turn your cheek
Until the fire dies
The skin it peels
Like the truth, away
What it was
I will never say...

[kiz_paws]

Burn The Witch ... Queens of the Stone Age


Don't try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
You hadn't had enough to know what its like
You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position

[p.s. I love Rooster, too, Idril!]

[Pendragon]

Capital G ~ Nine Inch Nails (um, had to google!)

Nice one on my last, Paws! Cher was the original artist, but that was back in my day...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Geezer.gif



She lives in a swamp in a hollow log with a one eyed snake and a three legged dog
She got a bent bony body and stringy hair
And if she ever seen you all messin' round there
She go (greeeeeee) another man done gone

Marie Leveau - By BOBBY BARE


Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

[Idril]

Don't Stop Believin' ~ Journey


Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

[Basil]

We Are Going To Be Friends - White Stripes


Sometimes I don't thrill you
Sometimes I think I'll kill you
Just dont let me f*ck up will you
'cause when I need a friend, it's still you

What a mess.

[ElissaDido]

Freak Scene - Blink 182


So tonight I'll sing a song to all my friends
Also to those we won't be seeing again
To those I knew and those I still adore
And I want to see once more
I just pray that you will love me

[papayahed]

Enjoy the life - by Ngô Minh Tuệ (? I googled)


Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
but that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
now it's a disco, but not for Lola,
still in the dress she used to wear,
faded feathers in her hair

[B-Mental]

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
A ll the good girls are home with broken hearts

[papayahed]

Free Fallin - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers


You play with words you play with love

[ElissaDido]

@papayahead: Hm, it's 'We were Lovers' by Jean-Jacques Burnel not Enjoy the Life... but oh well.

Private Eyes - Hall & Oates

I'm not the man I used to be
And what you see is not what it seems
I traveled through space to be with you
What you don't know you shouldn't fear

[papayahed]

@papayahead: Hm, it's 'We were Lovers' by Jean-Jacques Burnel not Enjoy the Life... but oh well.



Boy was I way off.

ElissiaDido--Gankutsuou ~ You Won't See Me Coming (Ending Song) [Darn right I googled!]



Did you write the book of love
and do you have faith in God above,
if the Bible tells you so,

[Idril]

American Pie ~ Don Mclean


So young to be loose and on her own
Young boys, they all want to take her home
She goes downtown, the boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown, she walks like she just don't care, care

[ElissaDido]

Hot Child in the City - Nick Gilder


My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

[Scheherazade]

Kiss From A Rose - Seal
Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine
You can always find me here and having quite a time

[ElissaDido]

Flowers on the Wall - The Statler Brothers

Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of me
Haven for us

[Idril]

The Light Before We Land ~ Delgados


Thought of you as my mountain top,
Thought of you as my peak.

Without him I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

[Idril]

Stranglehold ~ Ted Nugent


Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
The broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go

[papayahed]

Bringin' on the Heartbreak - Def Leppard


She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune on my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind

[Basil]

Sunspot Baby - Bob Seger (should've known the Michigan girl would go with Seger--do you listen to local boys Grand funk Railroad as well? :D)

That you buy at the store
She likes her hair to be real orange

You gave me love for free

Candy - Iggy Pop (I loooovvveee that song)


Darn it Basil!! Grand Funk was next on my list!!!!


People moving out, people moving in. Why, because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Vote for me and I'll set you free. Rap on, brother, rap on.

[kiz_paws]

Ball Of Confusion ... The Temptations


There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?

[Pendragon]

Take This Waltz ~ Leonard Cohen? (Unsure if the Artist is right, could be Koen)



The stranger that I loved
Was even stranger than he seemed
The honesty I thought we had
Was some crazy thing I dreamed
Another B-grade movie for life's big silver screen
But the king of hearts, he always takes a queen

[Idril]

Everybody Makes Mistakes ~ Lacy J. Dalton...google.


Well she held a bass guitar and
she was playing in a band and

Now I know I'm one of many
who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way
to let you know I'm not like them

Running over the same old ground.

How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical

Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5


The rain that brings you here is heaven blest
The skies begin to clear and I'm at rest
Just hold me in your arms and let it be
Shelter me, comfort me

[Pendragon]

A Little Fall Of Rain ~ Les Miserables



Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Momma, can you help me try to understand
Is innocence the difference 'tween a boy and a man?
My daddy lived to die, that's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slaving away

[Scheherazade]

Have A Nice Day - Bon Jovi
I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun

[papayahed]

Flowers on the Wall - The Statler Brothers



You always won, everytime you placed a bet

You were quicker than they thought

Still The Same ~ Bob Seger

Like Romeo to Juliet

Round and Round - Ratt


Candles raise my desire
Why I'm so far away
No more meaning to my life
No more reason to stay
Freezing feeling, Breathe in--Breathe in
I'm coming back again

Vodoo - Godsmack (Boy, did I google!!! :D)
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

[Idril]

Is that Flowers on the Wall by the Statler Brothers again? That's what I get when I google. I loved Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid by the way. :D


With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past
And in your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe that such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast

[Pendragon]

Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go) ~ Garbage (Had to google for the artist. Dang I'm old!)



In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

[Scheherazade]

The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel (not googled! *beams proudly*)
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

[papayahed]

hmmmmmmm.............

Flowers on the Wall - Statler Brothers:rolleyes:



Four young chiquitas in Omaha
Waitin' for the band to return from the show
A feelin' good, feelin' right and it's Saturday night
The hotel detective, he was outta sight

[kiz_paws]

We're An American Band ... Grand Funk Railroad


Like the sea
There's a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love
Flowed for you

[Pendragon]

C'est la vie ~ I'd have to google for the artist...



And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

[kiz_paws]

Sunday Morning Coming Down ... Johhny Cash

(Love that song!!)

C'est La Vie was recorded by Emerson Lake & Palmer (beautiful!)


I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

[Dante Wodehouse]

Cat Stevens~ Father and Son


This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back
Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face, I can't help thinkin

[Idril]

Last Beautiful Girl ~ Matchbox 20


Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
Who isn't me
So kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost

[Pendragon]

Sunday Morning Coming Down ... Johhny Cash

(Love that song!!)

C'est La Vie was recorded by Emerson Lake & Palmer (beautiful!)
Um, no. Sorry, two very different songs, althought I like Johnny Cash's song also. The song is this:



Eagles - The Last Resort

She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea

She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and
Jesus' people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

Idril's is Soundgarden's Burden in My Hand (Googled)



It was just another story written on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on the bedroom floor
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...
