Not sure if all of you are aware of what is happening in Australia with Refugees but these song lyrics by John Butler Trio get to the core of it and are def my fav song lyrics at the moment.'Home is Where the Heart Is' - JBT Hard working people from another land looking for a little more Coming to this country for a helping hand You know they sail their ships upon these shores And they are lookin for a freedom that most of us don't appreciate But you know man we can't let them in Cos the government's full of racial hate And then they got the nerve to say They be takin our culture away even though our ancestors tried to do the same to the Aborigine Seems strange to me man strange to me Don't it seem strange to you That a country founded on immigration is so damned racist too And I say Home Home is where the heart is yeah Home And then they go the nerve to say they be takin our jobs away Even though half the jobs that we're working for are owned from overseas and the other half of the companies Yes that they say we rightly own They operate on aisle three third world That's right yeah the sweat shop zone And I say I don't know what's going on Don't know what the hell to say The government decides on letting refugees in and when they get here yes they are detained And i don't know what's going on Don't know the reason why We live in an educated so called democracy Where everybody decides to believe in lies Believe in lies Home is where the heart is yeah

"Sometimes When We Touch" Dan HillYou asked me if I love you, and I choke on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie. And who am I to judge you, in what you say and do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you. And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much...and I have to close my eyes and hide. I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry, I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides. Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride. But through the insecurity, some tenderness survived. I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truth, A hesitant prize-fighter, still trapped witin my youth - - And sometimes when we touch... At times I want to break you, and drag you to your knees. At times I want to break through, and hold you endlessly. At times I understand you, and I know how hard you try. I've watched while love commands you, and I've watched love pass you by. At times I think we're drifters, still searching for a friend. A brother or a sister...but then the passion flares again. And sometimes when we touch... ------------------ Twin Lady IP: Logged |

If you think that you're strong enough If you think you belong enough. nice dream. " IP: Logged |

Bohemian Rapsody Queen Is this the real life ? Is this just fantasy ? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go A little high, little low Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooo Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine Body's aching all the time Goodbye everybody - I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows) I don't want to die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Figaro - magnifico But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come easy go - will you let me go Bismillah!

THANKS, N_w Evil!!! Jackie, I love that song! Now I'll post Hotel California, courtesy of N_w Evil: Eagles Hotel California On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast The stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before 'Relax,'said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave! Makes you think about WHY exactly California... morgana IP: Logged |

VNV Nation - Kingdom" Our domain, this kingdom come now godless lands whose ways are lost. Without the strength to carry on. All values lost all virtue none. Did you think you would be saved by burning flags to cleanse yourselves of shame? Or are you afraid as you stare back at your face? are you ashamed, are you afraid, by destroying what the gods had made? Did you think you would be saved? I believe that we'll conceive to make in hell for us a heaven. A brave new world. A promised land. A fortitude of hearts and minds. Until I see this kingdom is mine, I'll turn the darkness into light. I'll guide the blind. My will be done until the day I see this kingdom has been won. No more the servants of the weak devoid of thought or light to seek. I'll leave no walls, no stone unturned. Every tower to be razed to the dust from which it came. None will be spared, no remnant saved. Are you ashamed, are you afraid, of the gods and idols you have made? Did you think you would be saved by the gods and idols you have made? None will be saved. None will be saved."

As we dwell inside the safe zones that we've made Where nothing but earthly pleasures seems to matter The only light we see is from the screens No will to feel or explore the forgotten dimensionsSome day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity As the world stands still for a moment And I guess we will be making history When we all join hands just to watch the sky (For a moment) Our selfish lives have made us all go blind One day we'll awake by a bright light on the horizon In one second every eye will see the same And this blinding light will draw all our attention Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity As the world stands still for a moment For the very first time and it's meant to be We'll forget about ourselves and share the moment (For a moment) Can the ALL be my favourites? yes they can. Why? Aquarians have multiple personalities, and im a gemini ascendant so i've got multiple personalities doubled up! hehehe!
But in all seriousness, I find the lyrics of these songs highly effective...in my current mindset, at any rate. IP: Logged |

WE'RE ALL ALONE Boz Scaggs Outside the rain begins And it may never end So cry no more On the shore a dream Will take us out to sea Forever more... forever more Close your eyes my dear And you can be with me 'Neath the waves Through the caves of hours Long forgotten now We're all alone... we're all alone Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Learn how to pretend Once a story's told It can't help but grow old Roses do, lovers too So cast your seasons to the wind And hold me dear... oh, hold me dear Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin All's forgotten now We're all alone... all alone Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Owe it to the wind Hold me dear All's forgotten now We're all alone

OK ... too much time on my hands so I thought maybe I would resurrect some old threads.The Last Remaining Light (Audioslave) Roll me on your frozen fields Break my bones to watch them heal Drown me in your thirsty veins Where I'll watch and I'll wait And pray for the rain Curl like smoke and breathe again Down your throat, inside your ribs Through your spine and every nerve Where I'll watch and I'll wait and yield to the hurt (chorus) And if you don’t believe The sun will rise Stand alone and greet The coming night In the last remaining light Seven moons and seven suns Heaven wait for those who run Down your winter Underneath your waves Where you watch and wait And pray for the day (chorus) And if you don’t believe The sun will rise Stand alone and greet The coming night In the last remaining light Heidi IP: Logged |

Well, hell, I'll keep up the Audioslave trend:Audioslave Like A Stone On a cold wet afternoon no room for love and emptiness by a freeway i confess i was lost in the pages of a book full of death reading how we'll die alone and if a god will lay to rest anywhere we want to go in your house i long to be room by room patiently i'll wait for you there like a stone i'll wait for you there alone and on my death bed i will prey to the gods and the angels like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven to a place i would recall i was there so long ago the sky was bruised the world was black and there you led me on in your house i long to be room by room patiently i'll wait for you there like a stone i'll wait for you there alone in all i read till the day was gone and i sat in regret in all the things i've done for all that i've blessed and all that i've wronged in dreams till my death i will wonder on in your house i long to be room by room patiently i'll wait for you there like a stone i'll wait for you there alone alone And Now: The White Stripes Seven Nation Army
I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talkin' to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message comin' from my eyes says leave it alone... Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it comin' back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home... I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera forevermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding Right before the lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will think no more And the stains comin' from my blood tell me "Go back home"... Well, those're the two songs that I keep finding myself not switching the station from lately...that, and Trapt's "Headstrong" (but it's lyrics aren't exactly poetry). NOTE: Isn't gramatically-correct speech funny? The above would be: Well, those're the two songs from which I keep finding myself not turning... whateva. IP: Logged |

Let It BeThe Beatles When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, "Let it be". And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, "Let it be". "Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be". Whisper words of wisdom, "Let it be"... And when the broken-hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer...let it be. For though they be parted, there is still a chance that they will see. There will be an answer...let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Yeah, there will be an answer...let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be...(repeat) And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me...shine until tomorrow...let it be. I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, "Let it be". Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be. Well, there will be an answer...let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be. Whisper words of wisdom...let it be.

"High Hopes"My fave songster for this is Frank Sinatra! Next time your found, with your chin on the ground There a lot to be learned, so look around Just what makes that little old ant Think he'll move that rubber tree plant Anyone knows an ant, can't Move a rubber tree plant But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes So any time your gettin' low 'stead of lettin' go Just remember that ant Oops there goes another rubber tree plant When troubles call, and your back's to the wall There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall Once there was a silly old ram Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam No one could make that ram, scram He kept buttin' that dam 'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes So any time your feelin' bad 'stead of feelin' sad Just remember that ram Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam All problems just a toy balloon They'll be bursted soon They're just bound to go pop Oops there goes another problem kerplop... This song always reminds me of Linda`s ants & she`s my favorite Ram juniperb IP: Logged |

My favorite lyrics. It’s acoustic and … well, if you’ve heard it you know. Oh Me – Nirvana If I had to lose a mile If I had to touch feelings I would lose my soul The way I do I don’t have to think I only have to do it The results are always perfect And that’s old news Would you like to hear my voice sprinkled with emotion Invented at your birth? I can’t see the end of me My whole expanse I cannot see I formulate infinity Stored deep inside me

Bit of Aussie hip hop flava:Karma - by 1200 Techniques INTRO karma, what goes around comes around right? how you treat people is how they treat you back. disrespect them, or knock them, they're gonna slap you back. and sometimes it hurts, and thats bad karma. watch out for it. CHORUS_ how am i supposed to live in a world full of negative. how am i supposed to love in a world full of push and shove. how am i supposed to breath in a world full of lust and greed. well, i guess i'll have to love day to day, and pray to god that i'll be okay. VERSE 1_ these fat rats think they're fit like they're the iron man, i got the iron tongue, and the iron hand, i'll make the final stand, the final showdowns come round to hit ya, as i throw down my gauntlet to switch the picture. now if ya look in he mirror ya bound to get a reflection, like with every action, there is a reaction. with ya dodgy actions, ya causing negative drama, and if ya know gods law, you best watch for karma. now im a, bomb ya, running ya traps like taps. you think ya floating on the cream, you, and ya rat pack. well um, take that thought back, now lets dwell, how i should lock you like jail cells, so we can exhale. see, im a bull, and you'se a mattador. im seeing red, and ya outa swords. im on target like darts on boards, ya floating in space like astronaughts. i started off last, but now im first, while ya shame game got cut off like umbilicals at birth. VERSE 2_ i look around the city, and its all such a pity, everybody trying to be pretty, dont care for nitty gritty. i look around the block, no kids playing hop-scotch, too busy on the internet, surfing that rot. jerks converse kinda rude like "so what ya trying to prove mate" i say "nothing, im just trying to build the feel and not live like you". i got plans to take this city off the senate, as lifes one big race and i want all entrees to win it. if ya not with it like quiters then get out of my face, you got no place in my grace with your grimace. your a disgrace to the sire, you need to rekindle ya fire, and look higher, higher (look around). i got sounds to help you get down, so you can get up, and avoid them stinking rats that get me fed up. yeah they make me wanna throw up, they gotta grow up, or they'll be failing, and bailing, while i be sailing like noah. VERSE 3_ picture im the boulder, it's time to roll. i will continue like part two with no to & fro. aiming at infinity, starting at zero, out to lead these poor lost souls before they fall slow. i got the key to the door and im searching for the keyhole, when i unlock the door i'll bring new love to my people. unlike the fickle fanatics who wanna cause death, cut hopes length praying we fall to hells depth. as i watch and see all our progress regress, as what goes up, comes down. nevertheless, we're stunned by the horror, cold hearts wear armour, boomerang effect, as we all face our karma.

I am a huge music fan with eclectic tastes, but when asked for my favorite song, the reply is always "Imagine," by John Lennon. It speaks for itself. Imagine John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one

trillian Amen! I almost posted Imagine myself yesterday, but I chose Let It Be in light of what's going on in my life right now.

We must have been on the same wavelength yesterday, Twin Lady, as I almost posted it then, too! But I was at work and ran out of time.Twin Lady, from your nick, you must be a Gemini! I fell in love with a triple Twin from Ireland (he attended the college once attended by Oscar Wilde!), he was awesome, I miss him. Let It Be, an awesome song indeed, ummmm, when I was in High School, I used to tell my friends that "Mother Mary" was slang for pot (Mary Jane), and the song was about getting stoned in times of trouble. Dunno if Lennon/McCartney would appreciate that...well, perhaps Lennon would, dunno about Paul. They were indeed amazing, and gave us many musical gifts... IP: Logged |

Trillian, Juniperb I remember that rumor of "Mary" representing "Mary Jane", too. Actually, Paul's mother's name was Mary; she died when he was about 14 years old from breast cancer. He wrote the song for her, because he had a dream about her one night... she "appeared" to him. This, from his autobiographical book, "Many Years From Now". And yes trillian, I'm a Gemini...so is Paul McCartney! Can you tell I'm a fan? ------------------ "Yes, I am a dreamer.
