80's had some good music too what were you listening to B. Daddy? or were you even born yet?? Something About You - Level 42 Now, how can it be That a love carved out of caring Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard From the games played once too often But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all? Drawn into the stream of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams, they can't disguise the truth That there is something about you, baby, so right I wouldn't be without you, baby, tonight If ever our love was concealed No-one can say that we didn't feel A million things and a perfect dream of life Gone, fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love And it's not so wrong; we're only human after all These changing years, they add to your confusion Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth You know, there's something about you, baby, so right I wouldn't be without you, baby, tonight Because there's something about you, baby, so right I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight Something about you, the way you are, so right I wouldn't be without you here tonight There's something about you, the way you are so right I couldn't live without you here tonight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbfNuW98AmM&mode=related&search= IP: Logged |

More 80's before I discovered "grunge" and after "new wave" call me fickle Artist: Go West Song: Call Me
Face to face My reflection in your eyes I was scared to say too much Perfect strangers in perfect worlds apart Almost close enough to touch Staring at my shoes Feeling so confused Shot down without a gun Victim of a hit and run Won't you... Call me - call me No time to hesitate - we must communicate Call me - call me Won't you call this number now Mesmerised I go back to where we met A reconstruction of the crime I can't track you down Nowhere to be found Now my one shot at success Is the power of the press Won't you... Call me - call me No time to hesitate - we must communicate Call me - call me Won't you call this number now Worlds apart - we are worlds apart Watch this space There's a message here for you No need to read between the lines I am inside out There can be no doubt I want you and no-one else Please identify yourself Call me - call me No time to hesitate - we must communicate Call me - call me Won't you call this number now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gW6WcwNirk&mode=related&search= IP: Logged |

( rage against the machine ... pearl jam, alice n chains.... )on my way to work today heard one of my favorites: couple of them actually... Spooky by the Atlanta Rhythm Section In the cool of the evening When everything is gettin’ kind of groovy I call you up and ask you If you´d like to go with me and see a movie First you say no, you’ve got some plans for the night And then you stop, and say, all right Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you. You always keep me guessin’, I never seem to know what you are thinkin’ And if some fellow looks at you, It´s for sure your little eye will be a-winkin’ I get confused, ‘cause I don’t know where I stand And then you smile, and hold my hand Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you Spooky! Spooky! Yeah - yeah If you decide Someday to stop this little game that you are playin’ I´m gonna tell you all That my heart´s been a-dyin’ to be sayin´ Just like a ghost, you’ve been a-hauntin’ my dreams So I´ll propose... on Halloween. Baby, love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you Ah, spooky, yeah-uh! IP: Logged |

Seger's so fun to sing along to. Beautiful Loser Words and music by bob seger He wants to dream like a young man With the wisdom of an old man. He wants his home and security, He wants to live like a sailor at sea. Beautiful loser, where you goona fall? You realize you just cant have it all. Hes your oldest and your best friend,
If you need him, hell be there again. Hes always willing to be second best, A perfect lodger, a perfect guest. Beautiful loser, read it on the wall And realize, you just cant have it all. ...you cant have it all, you cant have it all, Oh, oh, ... cant have it all. Hell never make any enemies,
He wont complain if hes caught in a freeze. Hell always ask, hell always say please. Beautiful loser, never take it all
cause its easier, faster when you fall, You just dont need it all Oh, oh, ... you just dont need it all. IP: Logged |

Old time rock & rollJust take those old records off the shelf Ill sit and listen to em by myself Todays music aln t got the same soul I like that old time rock n roll Dont try to take me to a disco Youll never even get me out on the In ten minutes Ill be late for the door I like that old time rockn roll Still like that old time rockn roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n roll Wont go to hear them play a tango Id rather hear some blues or funky old soul Theres only sure way to get me to go Start playing old time rock n roll Call me a relic, call me what you will Say Im old-fashioned, say Im over the hill Today music aint got the same soul I like that old time rock n roll Still like that old time rockn roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n roll IP: Logged |

Honky Cat (whoooooooooooo!)Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Honky Château When I look back boy I must have been green Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream Looking for an answer trying to find a sign Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind They said get back honky cat Better get back to the woods Well I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh the change is gonna do me good You better get back honky cat Living in the city ain't where it's at It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine Well I read some books and I read some magazines About those high class ladies down in New Orleans And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart But how can you stay, when your heart says no How can you stop when your feet say go IP: Logged |

love this song While My Guitar Gently Weeps George Harrison I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I dont know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I dont know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you. I look at the world and I notice its turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I dont know how you were diverted You were perverted too I dont know how you were inverted No one alerted you. I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all . . . Still my guitar gently weeps. IP: Logged |

hehe, yea i was born in '68, so i was alive in the 80's , but was only just becoming aware of music apart from the twangy country stuff my parents listened to.....=Pbut i still have an appreciation for certain country artists......like johnny cash, kenny rogers, and one of my all time favorites.....roger miller!! but in the early 80's, i was just discovering the music of the 60's and 70's....like the doors,led zeppelin,queen and aerosmith.....(although aerosmith came back and did even better stuff in the late 80's and 90's ...imo)
but the new band of the 80's for me was the police....=P IP: Logged |

LED ZEPPELIN "Kashmir"Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen They talk of days for which they sit and wait when all will be revealed Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear though not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear Oh, oh. Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin' I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin' All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land Trying to find, trying to find where I've been. Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir. Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear Ohh. When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down... Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there Let me take you there. Let me take you there

The Doors When The Music's OverWhen the music's over When the music's over When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights For the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end
Cancel my subscription to the resurrection Send my credentials to the house of detention I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop The girl in the window won't drop A feast of friends "alive!" she cried Waitin' for me Outside!
Before i sink Into the big sleep I want to hear I want to hear The scream of the butterfly
Come back, baby Back into my arm We're gettin' tired of hangin' around Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound Very near yet very far Very soft, yeah, very clear Come today, come today
What have they done to the earth? What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn And tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound With your ear down to the ground We want the world and we want it... We want the world and we want it... Now Now? Now!
Persian night, babe See the light, babe Save us! Jesus! Save us!

Listening to Mark Knopfler tonite.....Darling Pretty It's time to come away, my darling pretty It's time to come away on the changing tide Time to come away, darling pretty And I need you darling by my side Heal me with a smile, darling pretty Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold Carry me awhile, my darling pretty Heal my aching heart and soul Just like a castaway Lost upon an endless sea I saw you far away Come to rescue me Cast away the chains, darling pretty Cast away the chains away behind Take away my pain, my darling pretty And the chains that once were yours and mine There will come a day, darling pretty There will come a day when hearts can fly Love will find a way, my darling pretty Find a heaven for you and I Love will find a way, my darling pretty Find a heaven for you and I Darling Pretty Are We In Trouble Now It wasn't just the music It wasn't just the wine Some other kind of magic Was sending shivers up my spine Then I was falling And I fell for you, and how Darling, are we in trouble now They say we're grown up But we've been searching all this time I wouldn't own up Never would admit to flying blind But in the Darkness We found each other anyhow Darling, are we in trouble now When we'd talk it over Love was a cry from a distant shore Then we found each other And all that we'd been searching for And I'm done denying I guess by now you know I'm through with trying Can't bring myself to let you go And of all these feelings We said we never would allow Darling, are we in trouble now Darling, are we in trouble now Are We In Trouble Now Golden Heart She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store A while before we met The most dangerous angles that you ever saw She spied her amulet And she took a loop of leather for around her neck And that was then the start The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck She found her golden heart You found your golden heart Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun To some arcadian band I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum Just to hold time in my hand And you shot me with a cannonball of history And long forgotten art I'd be turning it over as our words ran free I'd hold your golden heart I'd hold your golden heart Nothing in the world prepared me for, your heart, your heart Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart Your golden heart And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore And all the time I sleep I will have a reminder that my baby wore A part of you to keep And I'll send you all my promises across the sea And while we are apart I will carry the wonder that you gave to me I'll wear your golden heart I'll wear your golden heart Nothing in the world prepared me for, your heart, your heart Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart Your golden heart Golden Heart IP: Logged |

oh wow! I missed all this. great songs. i'm a big police fan, too. 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 But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a little black spot on the sun today (That's my soul up there) It's the same old thing as yesterday (That's my soul up there) There's a black hat caught in a high tree top (That's my soul up there) There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop (That's my soul up there) 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 But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall (That's my soul up there) There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall (That's my soul up there) There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb (That's my soul up there) There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web (That's my soul up there) 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 But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread King of pain There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack (That's my soul up there) There's a black-winged gull with a broken back (That's my soul up there) There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday 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 But it's my destiny to be the king of pain king of pain king of pain king of pain I'll always be king of pain...

The Ocean - Led ZeppelinSinging in the sunshine, laughing in the rain Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball. Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more! Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way. 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.

No Time This Time Words and music by StingNo time for the complexities of conversation No time smiles, no time for knowing No time for the intricacies of explanation No time for sharing, even less for showing If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time for a quick kiss at the railway station No time for a suitcase, sandwich and a morning paper Only time for time tables, calls and transportation No time to think no time to dare If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time at all No time at all...

U-2You say you want Diamonds on a ring of gold You say you want Your story to remain untold But all the promises we make From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you'll give me A highway with no one on it Treasure just to look upon it All the riches in the night You say you'll give me Eyes in a moon of blindness A river in a time of dryness A harbour in the tempest But all the promises we make From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you want Your love to work out right To last with me through the night You say you want Diamonds on a ring of gold Your story to remain untold Your love not to grow cold All the promises we break From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You...all I want is...

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone.All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity. Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind. Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea. All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see. Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind. Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy. Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind.

Welcome to your life Theres no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you Acting on your best behaviour Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the worldIts my own design Its my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world Theres a room where the light wont find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do Ill be right behind you So glad weve almost made it So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world I cant stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world Say that youll never never never never need it One headline why believe it ? Everybody wants to rule the world All for freedom and for pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet Junebug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below Double cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin dues down to see That we don't even care as restless as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement, lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope Justine never knew the rules, Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below The street heats the urgency of sound As you can see there's no one around IP: Logged |

A winter's day In a deep and dark December; I am alone, Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. I am a rock, I am an island.I've built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain. I am a rock, I am an island. Don't talk of love, Well, I've heard the word before. It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried. I am a rock, I am an island. I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor, Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain; And an island never cries. IP: Logged |

I went walkin' down by the river Feeling very sad inside When all at once I saw in the sky The little white cloud that criedHe told me he was very lonesome And no one cared if he lived or died And said sometimes the thunder and lightning Make all little clouds hide He said "Have faith in all kinds of weather" "For the sun will always shine" "Do your best and always remember" "The dark clouds pass with time" He asked if I'd tell all my world Just how hard those little clouds try That's how I know I'll always remember The little white cloud that sat right down and cried (The little white cloud that cried)
