I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Eh, Oh, way to go Ohio

Well I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
Eh, Oh, Oh way to go Ohio

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, Eh, Oh, Oh way to go Ohio

This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about

Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way

Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?

Billy Joel
"You May Be Right"

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed it out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Stranglehold-Ted Nugent

Here I come again now baby
like a dog in heat
Tell it's me by the way now baby
I like to tap the streets

Now I've been smoking for so long
you know I'm here to stay
Got you in a stanglehold baby
You best get out of the way

Gonna cruise is a b*tch now baby
you know you can't do me 'round
If your house gets in my way baby
You know I'll burn it down

You remember the night that you left me?
You put me in my place
Got you in a stranglehold now baby
you better cross your way

Sometimes you wanna get higher
Sometimes you gotta start low
Some people think their gonna die someday
I got news, you never got to get old

come on, come up (x4)
come on come on baby
come on come on up
come on come on baby
come on come on

Gonna cruise is a b*tch now baby
You know you can't do me 'round
If your house gets in my way baby
You know I'll burn it down

She was born in November 1963
The day Aldous Huxley died
And her mama believed
That every man could be free
So her mama got high, high, high
And her daddy marched on Birmingham
Singing mighty protest songs
And he pictured all the places
That he knew that she belonged
But he failed and taught her young
The only thing she's need to carry on
He taught her how to

Run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run

Past the arms of the familiar
And their talk of better days
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
so long
Baby loves to run

She counts out all her money
In the taxi on the way to meet her plane
Stares hopeful out the window
At the workers fighting
Through the pouring rain
She's searching through the stations
For an unfamiliar song
And she's pictures all the places
Where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile
Because she knows exactly how
To carry on

So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run

Weve got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,
When temptation calls, we just look away.

Chorus
This name is the hairshirt I wear
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
This song is the cross that I bear,
Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me, be with me tonight,
I know that it isnt right, but be with me tonight.

I go to school, I write exams,
If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out,
Does anyone give a damn?
And if they do, theyll soon forget cause it wont take much for me
To show my life aint over yet.
I wake up scared, I wake up strange.
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
And everything around me stays the same.

Chorus

I couldnt tell you that I was wrong,
Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
I couldnt tell you that you were right,
So instead I looked in the mirror,
Watched tv, laid away all night.

Weve got these chains, hang round our necks,
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls ...

Chorus

Cherub Rock

Freak out
And give in
Doesnt matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebodys fool this year
cause they know
Who is righteous, what is bold
So Im told

Who wants honey
As long as theres some money
Who wants that honey?

Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
cause deep down
We are frightened and were scared
If you dont stare

Who wants honey
As long as theres some money
Who wants that honey?

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know
Should have listened when I was told

Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?

Cpn, me too!

been on a Marley kick lately...

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?

Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone,
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light.

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman!
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)

Don't let them change ya, oh! -
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We've got a life to live.
They say: only - only -
only the fittest of the fittest shall survive -
Stay alive! Eh!

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

My son (13) is studying music appreciation in school. He is "doing" Bob Marley, ATM.

He wanted to know if I ever heard of him. lol.

I said don't you remember all the times I would play those songs on trips. ( I like island-y music for trips, keeps things positive and upbeat) He said, "Oh, yeah!"

So I started telling him about Bob's life and death, and about Trenchtown.
The next day he got 5 bonus points because he was the only student to know where Bob Marley was from. YaY, me, I can't help him with algebra, but ask me whatever about music! lol.

my contribution for the day, by memory, so excuse any mistakes......

Yeah, i love that about his music too - how it inspires happy and upbeat feelings in people. You could listen to him on a dreary day and think the sun was out.

I don't mind the worry following me like a dinosaur
I don't fear I am descending into the molten core
So far, I have not found the science
So far, I have not found the science

But the numbers keep on circling me

I don't mind the worry following me like a dinosaur
I don't fear I am descending into the molten core
So far, I have not found the science
So far, I have not found the science

But the numbers keep on circling me
But the numbers keep on circling me

I'm gonna give you most of mine
I'm gonna give it if I don't slip you
I'm gonna give you most of mine
I'm gonna give it if I don't slip you

So far, I have not found the science
So far, I have not found the science

When all goodbyes
Are said and done,
And nighttime finds you home,
Are you all right
To spend a night
Of being all alone?

And do you hide
Between the lines
Of conversations past?
A wall of words,
A heart unheard,
That hides behind a mask?

I'm raining on the inside;
My heart wells up with tears that start to pour.
I'm raining on the inside,
But then Your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with You once more.

When friends who care
Can't be there
To ease away my pain,
And peace of mind,
It's hard to find,
Like sunlight in the rain.

God sees my heart,
The deepest part,
Inside this lonely me,
And reachin' in,
His love begins
To heal the heart in me.

I'm raining on the inside;
Oh, my heart weels up with tears that start to pour.
I'm raining on the inside,
But then Your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with You once more.

Sometimes we're raining on the inside,
And our hearts well up with tears that start to pour.
But when we're raining on the inside,
Let His cries of love break through,
Know that He loves you, once more....

Hey window pane
Do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's one sound
That I just can't stand

Chorus
