the lyrics to that last one reminded me of the lyrics to this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKi83pvwdV0 Samantha ~CIA I loooooved this song in 1990 or 91 Thank goodness for utube, or the chorus that I finally dredged from my memory from the lyrics I wrote in my lyric book would be all that remained. My mind needed the music behind the chorus, although it isn't a masterpiece or anything... I love it though. Now I have the entire song.

There's a shadow just behind me Shrouding every step I take Making every promise empty Pointing every finger at meWaiting like a stalking butler Who upon the finger rests Murder now the path called "must we" Just before the son has come Jesus, won't you f**king whistle Something but the past and done? Jesus, won't you f**king whistle Something but the past and done? Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over Why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over I am just a worthless liar I am just an imbecile I will only complicate you Trust in me and fall as well I will find a center in you I will chew it up and leave I will work to elevate you Just enough to bring you down Mother Mary won't you whisper Something but what's past and done? Mother Mary won't you whisper Something but what's past and done? Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start things over Why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over I am just a worthless liar I am just an imbecile I will only complicate you Trust in me and fall as well I will find a center in you I will chew it up and leave Trust me Trust me Trust me Trust me Trust me Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start things over Why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over I want what I want I want what I want... I want what I want... I want what I want... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8 IP: Logged |

Ohh... that song is so amazingly guttural and intense... I'm always a big fan of sweet, sad songs... but another part of me would rather hear someone scream the pain away...IP: Logged |

many miles awaaaaaayAnother suburban family morning Grandmother screaming at the wall We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies We can't hear anything at all Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all her suicides are fake Daddy only stares into the distance There's only so much more that he can take Many miles away Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake Another industrial ugly morning The factory belches filth into the sky He walks unhindered through the picket lines today He doesn't think to wonder why The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street But all he ever thinks to do is watch And every single meeting with his so-called superior Is a humiliating kick in the crotch Many miles away Something crawls to the surface Of a dark Scottish loch Another working day has ended Only the rush hour hell to face Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes Contestants in a suicidal race Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance He knows that something somewhere has to break He sees the family home now looming in his headlights The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache Many miles away There's a shadow on the door Of a cottage on the shore Of a dark Scottish lake Many miles away, many miles away

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hy0MLU5asxs Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see, And Baby, Baby, Baby, do you like it? There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin' Ah, not trying to fight it. You really don't care if they're coming, oh, oh, I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh. If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better, You better open your eyes. Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't Which, which way the pressure lies, So I've decided what I'm gonna do now. So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains Where the spirits go now, Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0nk2pPMzups Measuring a summers day, I only finds it slips away to grey, The hours, they bring me pain.*tangerine, tangerine, Living reflection from a dream; I was her love, she was my queen, And now a thousand years between. Thinking how it used to be, Does she still remember times like these? To think of us again? And I do.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_swFHp-0_sY Many times I loved Many times been bitten Many times Ive gazed Along the open road. Many times Ive lied Many times Ive listened Many times Ive wondered How much there is to know. Many dreams come true And some have silver linings I live for my dream And a pocketful of gold. Mellow is the man Who knows what hes been missing Many many men Cant see the open road. Many is a word That only leaves you guessing Guessing bout a thing You really ought to know, ooh! You really ought to know I really ought to know! Oooh, you know I should, you know I should, you know I should... IP: Logged |

probably my favorite: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rioYOoFqyAo Life's a Long Song When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day, and you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say, well, don't you fret, don't you fear, I will give you good cheer. Life's a long song. Life's a long song. Life's a long song. If you wait then your plate I will fill. As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day, and the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room, you struggle on your way. Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry, lick the dust from your eye. Life's a long song. Life's a long song. Life's a long song. We will meet in the sweet light of dawn. As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress, and the symphony sounds underground put you under duress, well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel. Life's a long song. Life's a long song. Life's a long song. But the tune ends too soon for us all.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EsCyC1dZiN8 Happy and I'm smiling, walk a mile to drink your water. You know I'd love to love you, and above you there's no other. We'll go walking out while others shout of war's disaster. Oh, we won't give in, let's go living in the past. Once I used to join in every boy and girl was my friend. Now there's revolution, but they don't know what they're fighting. Let us close out eyes; outside their lives go on much faster. Oh, we won't give in, we'll keep living in the past.

one more. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LLAntvVe-OU Songs From The Wood "Let me bring you love from the field: poppies red and roses filled with summer rain. To heal the wound and still the pain that threatens again and again as you drag down every lover's lane."
