From a Kay Starr song,I forget the title but the words stay forever:-
''Now you've got the baby and I'm all alone,
Gee but I feel so Blue,
Don't teach her to hate me
Whatever you do,tell her I love her,too.'' {It gets worse.}
''I wish I had never seen sunshine ;
I wish I had never been Blue;
I wish I had died as a baby
And then I'd have never known you.''
Beat that.
'' Das gibts nur einmal
Das kehrt nich wieder
Das ist zu schon um wahr zu sein !''
From Der Kongress Tanzt.
I think you could get away with saying more or less ALL of Affirmation.Originally Posted by cipherdecoy
I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I love that song, I wonder if I bought it wth me? anctually savage garden got me through my exams last year
I used to think of the telephone lne as the internet and it was how I managed to rember most of the points for my exam on the social aspects of the networked societyBut on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
My mission in life is to make YOU smile

From Faster by the Manic Street Preachers (a great source of ridiculously good lyrics)
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing
sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake
if you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else
I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
"There are those who think that life
Has nothing left to chance
With a host of holy horrors
To direct our aimless dance
A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
The stars arent aligned ---
Or the gods are malign
Blame is better to give than receive
You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path thats clear
I will choose free will
There are those who think that theyve been dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them ---
They werent born in lotus-land
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You cant pray for a place
In heavens unearthly estate
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt
Thats far too fleet..."
-Freewill by Rush
The same goes for most any Rush song, most of them have a profound meaning. For instance, 2112 is Rush's remake of Anthem, by Ayn Rand. Besides that, the music rocks.
This song to me is all about endings and new beginnings; hitting absolute rock bottom or some kind of dead end, recognising that and moving on. I'm a huge fan of Dylan but this song in particular has always hit home for me. I especially love these lines ...
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.

Well I thought some parts were rather clichédI think you could get away with saying more or less ALL of Affirmation.
Despite the snow,

Real love is all
It takes to walk away from comfort
Real pain to know;
Nothing scares you now

But we all want it too much ...

Cuz nobody walks it alone

a song for Bobby Darin- "SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM"
"No doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let's all build them shelves so they can fight among themselves
and leave us be those who want to sing"
and there's a reason for that, and it's that my country right now have some problems because of those politics people, i just wanna shoot them
"How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here"- Pink Floyd
I don't want to fall again
I don't wanna know this pain
Manhattan Skyline - A-HA
"And the unguarded spirit
wants to float on free wings, so that
in the magic circle of the night
it may live deeply and a thousandfold."
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
Ill be watching you
Every breath you take, Sting & The Police
My lifelong love affair with books and reading continues unaffected by automation, computers, and all other forms of the twentieth-century gadgetry.
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
Logan Pearsall Smith, 1931
I just admire Polly Jean for her crazy unkempt lyrics...who knows..
Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
How the world just turns & turns
How does anybody learn?
Mummy, put your needle down
How did you feel when you were young?
Cos I feel like I've just been born
Even though I'm getting on
How the world slips by so fast
How does anybody last?
As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running
Flowers I can do without
I don't wanna be tied down
White material will stain
My pocket knife's gotta shiny blade
I'm not trying to cause a fuss
I just wanna make my own ****-ups
I'm not trying to break your heart
I'm just trying not to fall apart
