Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And Im getting blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream.
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.

What a drag it is getting old

Kids are different today,
I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill

She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

Things are different today,
I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husbands just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak

And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

Men just aren't the same today
I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind

So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

Life's just much too hard today,
I hear every mother say
The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose

Fountain of Sorrow

Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true

You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes

Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb
But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
Like a fountain from a pool

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're alright
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
But that magic feeling never seems to last
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
In my lessons at Love's Pain and Heartache School
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
Like a fountain from a pool

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're alright
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright

Been dazed and confused for so long its not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below. yeah!

You hurt and abused tellin all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby, lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I dont know where youve been,
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.

Every day I work so hard
Bringin home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.

Dont know where youre goin
Only know just where youve been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long, its not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

Bron Y Aur Stomp

Ah caught you smiling at me,
That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.
Ah all the good times we had,
I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine.

As we walk down the country lanes,
I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the wind within the trees,
Telling mother nature bout you and me.

Well if the sunshine's so bright,
Or on our way its darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine.
Ah can your love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on?

* chorus

My, my la de la come on now it aint too far,
Tell your friends all around the world,
Aint no companion like a blue eyed merle.
Come on now well let me tell you,
What you're missing, messing round them brick walls.
So of one thing I am sure,
Itss a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around
My dog is so fine.
Yeah, ain't but one thing to do
Spend my natural life with you,
You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.
When you're old and your eyes are dim,
There ain't no old shep gonna happen again,
We'll still go walking down country lanes,
I'll sing the same old songs,
Hear me call your name.

The Rain Song

It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall...It's just a little rain...

Here's a few corkers:

Lounge Act - Nirvana
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's ******* gone
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've make a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you

Dumb - Nirvana

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And I have a hangover
Have a hangover
Had a hangover
Had a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

Save Prayer - Duran Duran

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.

Don't save a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way.)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day.

Don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after. Save it til the morning after

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
but fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save a prayer til the morning after

Bitter's End - Roxy Music

At last the crimson chord cascade
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing fort pink gin

While destiny begins to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realize their fate

You were the raven of October
I knew the sign you flew around
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never though I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me

Give now the host his claret cup
And watch madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

Though I don't like to think I can be intransigent, there is that moment when I have made my mind up....

Well I wont back down, no I wont back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I wont back down

Gonna stand my ground, wont be turned around
And Ill keep this world from draggin me down
Gonna stand my ground and I wont back down

Hey baby, there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down.

Well I know whats right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin me around
But Ill stand my ground and I wont back down

I wear your allegiance like a cloak of trust
wrapped around the heart of me
and no conditions were discussed
when we joined forces helplessly

falling inward, we were linked by chain
across the length of rolling sea
welded by laughter, sealed in pain
floating love has rescued me

I found a map to buried treasure
I found it deep within your smile
and I think that now I've found it
I will study it a while

it's trust that holds it anchored
it's the trust takes years to build
without it there is nothing
just emptiness unfilled

but brick by brick we built it up
built a house to hold a dream
a shape that's rising from the rubble
where the shaking death had been

I found a map to buried treasure
I found it deep within your smile
and I think that now I've found it
I will study it a while

no sticks and stones can hurt us
nor the liars or the thieves
we'll use the stones to ring our garden
and the sticks to gather leaves

brick by brick we built it up
built a house to hold a dream
a shape that's rising from the rubble
where the shaking death had been

I found a map to buried treasure
I found it deep within your smile
and I think that now I've found it
I will study it a while

Darkness

Some of us wind up in shadow
Some of us wind up in shade
There are distinctions
In the darkness to be made

I have made welcome to darkness
When the light's focused in too tight
And said hello as if to a friend
When I should have picked a fight

Darkness with blues is
Different than darkness shared
The blue tones will make you lonely
And lonely leaves you scared

Right at the edge of consciousness
Black meets flickering red
Of the fires in the ruins
And the truth is left unsaid

We are all sparks in the darkness
And there is the oncoming night
Fool that I am I want to touch your wings
And try to make some light

Many of us live in a fog
The wire wizards made
Sucking up a string of electrons
From the screen where they are sprayed

Darkness with blues is
Different than darkness shared
The blue tones will make you lonely
And lonely leaves you scared
The blue tones will make you lonely
And lonely leaves you scared
Some of us wind up in shadow
Some wind up in shade

Eyes Too Blue

She walks into a sideways rain
Hands tucked under her arms
It's cold out there
And it's cold in here

Like a sister sailing ship
Head against the sea
She holds on
She holds on

Arms too empty
Heart too true
Voice too distant
Eyes too blue

The wet stone echoes sound to me
The footfalls hers alone
She walks on
She moves on

Dream and sweet reality
If she returns are one
And I hold on
Yes, I hold on

Arms too empty
Heart too true
Voice too distant
Eyes too blue

Sufficiently Breathless

Sitting on the doorstoop
Watching multiples of people pass me by
Look through the windows, through the houses
Oh, they're made of sky

* Gargoyle watching the bouncing ball
Strangers mystified by all
All the goings on
Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless

Hey Mr. Policeman, can you point the way
Oh, with your hand gun
Heed and the puppy and the space below
Don't you understand 'em

*Repeat

Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless

Hearing and watching all the city sounds
On the street where we live
No one to care about us
Seems it´s falling down around us
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street where we live)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street where we live)

Starglow Energy

Can we live on
In this perpetual dusk day
That changes kind of slow
Into mother night oh yeah
When your thoughts unhinge
From sight and sound
And recess
Into the dungeon of a memory... see

Know what your love means
Know your touch
Leads to distraction
Need you much
More than the ocean needs the cosmic light
Of starglow energy
Yeah, yeah, oh, love you so, I do

Dreams mean more to say it than you know
On those bright-lit sunny afternoons
All the thoughts and words you have being mellow
Be mellow, if your little mind has room to think about it

What are you having for fantasies
Spiral purple jasmine trees
Now take something more from me
A taste of starglow energy
Live a life of peace and love
Forevermore

(Guitar solo)
... it's starting to take me higher...
(Guitar Solo)

What are you having for fantasies
Spiral purple jasmine trees
Now take something more from me
A taste of starglow energy

(Instr.)

Now you listen to me
You got to start out slowly
Come on just let it take, just let take it you away
And now don`t you be fooled by what you have
And I`m certain, that you`re gonna find
Exactly what you need

The first time ever I saw your face,
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies, my love
To the dark, and the endless skies.
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth,
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird that was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you,
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time, my love
And it would last till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face

Thanks for the times that you've given me,
The mem'ries are all in my mind.
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud.
You're once, twice, three times a lady, and I love you.
Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady, and I love you.
I love you.
When we are together the moments I cherish,
with every beat of my heart.
To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you.
There's nothing to keep us apart.
You're once, twice, three times a lady, and I love you.

~ Level Forty Two ~ .. Leaving Me Now

It seems true love is so rare
Seems all Ive known is deceit
Your laughter fills the air
Once more Im sensing defeat
And I suppose youre leaving me now
I was so sure now Im so full of doubt
And I suppose youll be leaving this place
Just like the smile you wiped from my face
This time
I always gave my best
Your memory serves you so badly
Some people kill for less
Yet Id still die for you gladly oh, so gladly
But I suppose its my turn now
To play a scene thats familiar somehow
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time
Walk away
You dont need me
Once more Im learning
In the depths of my despair
Your lies confirming
True love is so rare
And I suppose its my turn now
Theres no more love only feelings of doubt
Gone with the hope your words have erased
Gone with the smile you wiped from my face
Love is a ship we all hope to steer
Through troubled times cross an ocean of tears
A midnight sea that swells in your eyes
Takes just one look to know Im still mesmerized
But I suppose youre leaving me now
I was so sure now Im so full of doubt
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time
Leaving me now
Leaving this place
I watch you walk away with an easy grace

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling thats the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

You dont need money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden and its cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
Thats the power of love
Thats the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But youll be glad baby when youve found
Thats the power makes the world go round

And it dont take money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you dont care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

It dont take money and it dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You wont feel nothin till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
Thats the power, thats the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love
