Posted: 9/12/2009 11:10:44 PM | ~Tower Of Song~
~ Leonard Cohen~
~From the album I'm Your Man~1988~
~Well my friends are gone and my hair is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the tower of song
I said to Hank Williams, "How lonely does it get?"
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
Oh, a hundred floors above me in the tower of song
I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here in the tower of song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah they don't let a woman kill you not in the tower of song
Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the tower of song
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the tower of song
Yeah, my friends are gone and my head is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the tower of song

Posted: 9/13/2009 5:25:33 PM | This is the song I can most relate to the last several years of my 25 yr relationship that ended this year.
If I said what's on my mind
You'd turn and walk away
Disappearing way back in your
dreams
It's so hard to be unkind
So easy just to say
That everything is just the way it
seems
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
A man I'll never be
If
only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every
day for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
I can't get any
stronger
I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a
little longer
And hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at
me
And somewhere in your mind you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a
way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
To
hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
Boston- A Man I'll Never Be | |

Posted: 9/18/2009 6:47:38 AM | Ayreon- Day Nineteen: Disclosure :
[Best Friend] My good friend, I hope you hear my voice
I must alleviate this ache
I thought about this and found I have no choice
I have to tell you this for conscience sake
I felt alone, forsaken and afraid
Out of work and out of love
I needed someone to ease some of the pain
She was there for me when times were rough
[Wife] My sweet love, my heart belongs to you
But I was lonely and the need for passion grew
You where never here, and even when you were
Most of my words would go unheard
[Best Friend] I'd be there to comfort her
[Wife] We'd shared our distress
[Best Friend] But we were never in love
[Wife] Can you forgive us?
[Best Friend] My good friend, well maybe I am wrong
I think you saw us on that day
I want you to know, she loved you all along
I hope that this will help you in some way
[Wife] My sweet love, my heart belongs to you
But I was lonely and the need for passion grew
You where never here, and even when you were
Most of my words would go unheard
[Best Friend] I'd be there to comfort her
[Wife] We'd shared our distress
[Best Friend] But we were never in love
[Wife] Can you forgive us?
[Love] Don't be afraid, her heart belongs to you
[Passion] Don't be afraid, don't keep her waiting
[Love] It's time to rise, and tell them what you feel
[Passion] You have to let them know
[Love] Here the dream ends, this is real
[Me] I'll be there to comfort her
[Passion] I know you will be!
[Me] I'll come back to life
[Love] I know that you can!
Ayreon-Web Of Lies :
[Simone Simons]:
Dear PX, I feel you are the one
What's your name? Where are you from?
I'm in love, though we never met
Looking for clues, i search the net
Dear PX, I'm waiting for your name
Check every hour, to no avail
Been up all night, couldn't get to sleep
No way out, I'm in too deep
Dear PX, It's been 11 days
I'm kind of lost within the maze
Are you there? Give me but a sign
Are you at home? Are you on-line?
[Phideaux Xavier]:
Dear Simone, I'm sorry for the wait
I've seen your pics, you're looking great
I'm all alone, dying for a date
I think we match, it must be fate
[Simone Simons]:
Dear oh well, I feel you are the one
what's your name? where are you from?
I'm in love, though we never met
Looking for clues, I search the net
Beautiful South- Sound of North America
Ginger Elvis Presley looked a fraction sad
Roaming the whole town from bin to bin
Well living on the streets wasn't all that bad
Where no-one seemed to know that he was King
The sound of New York City
isn't police sirens wailing
It's the sound of Wall Street tills
whilst everyone else is failing
Sometimes you feel expensive
sometimes you feels so cheap
You can roam the streets a King
whilst everyone's asleep
You can mime to any record
with a hairbrush or a spoon
But God help the singer out of tune
A crippled Mohammad Ali
looked at bad luck in the mirror
Bad luck looked back at him and sighed
He looked a good foot smaller
and a couple of stone thinner
And if anyone came toward him
he would hide
The sound of North America
isn't Christians quietly praying
It's the sound of shuffling feet
that don't know where they're staying
Sometimes you feel expensive
sometimes you feels so cheap
You can roam the streets a King
whilst everyone's asleep
You can fight with anybody
with a glimmer of a chance
But God help the boxer with no hands
A homeless Greta Garbo
moves across the street
The moonlight shining clearly
through her skirt
A real life living legend
that no-one wants to meet
And that's when being Garbo
really hurts
The lyrics of "New York"
may have Frank Sinatra singing
But the rhythm and the melody
were dead black men swinging
Sometimes you feel expensive
sometimes you feels so cheap
You can roam the streets a Queen
whilst everyone's asleep
You can act with anybody
from the cradle to the crypt
But God help the actress
who doesn't know the script | |

"let the rain wash away my yesterdays" -is a quote of a disastrous spring I rather forget, and maybe thats why it rained this whole summer to wash away the pain of yesterdays.

Posted: 9/22/2009 5:53:08 PM | (Ominous sounding song from a band with an ominous name...a pleasant and harmless dittie though. Much repetition omitted. )
Death Cab For Cutie
I Will Possess Your Heart
How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound
But in a language you can't read just yet
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily
So easily
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart | |

Only God Knows Why
I've been sittin here
Tryin to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills it helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollar bills, but still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks **** with me
It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love
And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
Yeah
As it...hey
And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the shit that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin
I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep a walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why
Only God
Only God
Only God knows why, why, why, why
Only God...knows...why, why, why
Only God knows why
Take me to the river edge
Take me to the river, hey hey hey | |

| Shakira - Illegal
Posted: 10/3/2009 10:01:32 AM | Who would have thought that you could hurt me
the way you've done it?
So deliberate, so determined
Since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
and question my own questions on and on
So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close
You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive
Baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
I'm starting to believe
it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
I tried so hard to be attentive
To all you wanted, always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
it's clear, it isn't here, where you belong
You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 1:30:08 PM | I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya;
She tied you to her kitchen chair,
She broke your throne, she cut your hair,
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you,
The holy dove was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya;
And it's not a cry that you hear at night,
It's not somebody who's seen the light,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
-- jeff buckley's cover of the leonard cohen masterpiece hallelujah. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 1:39:47 PM | Already Gone - Kelly Clarkson
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die...
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...
I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go
I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone
Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone
Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye...
I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on,
So I'm already gone | |

| "Love is bliss to those amiss.."
Posted: 10/20/2009 9:54:51 AM | Love is bliss to those amiss
who can't control their mind.
They lose their way and are bound to say
I should of been true today those that let their
lust bust every possible dream as they scheme to take
the short cut well below life's tried and true seam.
Few realize love's true compass and how to value strength
they are driven by their bio force and end up an empty tank
The key to all that really wins and finds true joy in love
are those who take the higher road well far up and above.
The chickens always flock the fads they conform today
its the eagles you find one at a time who have learned to
rule their way. Its easy to let passion ruin your every dream
it takes skill to find the will to be true to life's triumphal rules.
The coy are bound to be a toy the silly tag along the sensual
rack up the bills and live with all their pills. Yet, it is the one who
is true to the light within that avoids the path of sin
for only with a pure life true love can finally stream in and
joy behold what few can control to claim the win far away from
sin with the one you finally welcome in.
The bliss is not the key to love its the strength in one's pure soul
without an anchor upon life seas this world will cut you at your knees.
Never forget the lesson they are simple tried and true its the pathetic
who through away ideals and squeal in nights of sin stuck in an empty bin
with no real way to win.

| What fits today
Posted: 11/7/2009 8:00:22 PM | (A little escapist maybe, but it fits.)
SNOW PATROL
"Chasing Cars"
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world? | |

| Patsy Cline- Imagine That
Posted: 11/7/2009 8:22:15 PM | Imagine me still lovin' you
After all you've put me thru
Well, I can't help it, I just do
Imagine that, and that's not the half
Imagine this, if you can
I've stood more, more than I should stand
But I'd still take you back again
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
Can you believe I'd swallow my pride
Well, yes, yes, I guess you can
'Cause you know you've always had my foolish heart
Right in the palm of your hand
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'Cause I'm still waitin' and lovin' you
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh | |

__________________________
I have given, I have given
And got none.
Still I'm driven by something I can't explain
It's not a cross, it is a choice
I cannot help but to hear his voice
I only wish that I could listen without shame
CHORUS
Let it rain
Let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me
I have been a witness to a perfect crime
I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
It isn't worth the tears you cry to have a perfect alibi
Now I'm beaten at the hand of my own game
CHORUS
It isn't easy ot be kinda
With all these demons in my mind
I only hope one day I'll come clean
CHORUS
Let it rain
let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me
Come take my hand
We can walk in to the light
And without fear
We can see through the darkest night
CHORUS repeat | |

Posted: 11/21/2009 3:25:06 PM | You left a big hole, bigger than one the council would have dug
and I tried to fill it, but most of the applicants were duds
Oh you slipped through my hands, like water through sand, and left only dust
and I saw you last week, out with your mum round the waterworks
and it doesn't matter if I was wrong or right
at least you gave me a glimpse of the light
We all make mistakes, and then when you've made enough, you call it experience
I don't want to go back, I don't want a second chance
and it doesn't matter if I was wrong or right, at least you gave me a glimpse of the light
The Supernaturals, Glimpse of the Light. | |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here
Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am
Tainted
The two of us
We're never meant to be
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Gone fading everything
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am
Tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
We're never meant for me
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me | |

Stay with me,
My love I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side if ever I need you
Oh my love
In your arms,
I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year
With the dawn,
Oh I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say
The night is long but you are here
Close at hand, oh I'm better for the smile you give
And while I live
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year there will be | |

Posted: 11/22/2009 6:52:42 PM | Christina Aguilera - Reflection lyrics
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
My heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that i'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that i'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside? | |

I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in a crowd
And smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you
Look in my eyes while you're near
Tell me what's happening here
See that I don't want to say
Goodbye
Our love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion, and you will be mine
I will remember
I will remember you
Later on
When this fire is an ember
Later on
When the night's not so tender
Given time
Though it's hard to remember, darlin'
I will be holding
I'll still be holding to you
I will remember you
So many years come and gone
And yet the mem'ry is strong
One word we never could learn
Goodbye
True love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion, and you will be mine
I will remember you
So please remember
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you | |

Posted: 11/22/2009 7:03:00 PM | I still believe - Mariah Carey
No, oh No.... Yeah, Yeah ... oh..
You look in my eyes and I get
emotional inside
I know it’s crazy, but you still can
touch my heart
And after all this time you think
that I wouldn’t feel the same
But time melts into nothing, and
nothing's changed
I still believe
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again
I had a dream
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again
Each day of my life, I’m filled with
all the joy I could find
You know that I,I'm not the
desperate type
If there’s one spark of hope left in
my grasp, I'm holding it with both
hands
It’s worth the risk of burning, to
have a second chance
No, no, no, no, no, no, I need you,
baby
I still believe that we can be
together, no…
If we believe that true love never
has to end
Then we must know that we will love
again, Mmm..
I still believe
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again (Oh, baby, yeah)
I had a dream
You and me
Will find ourselves
In love again
I still believe (Ooh, baby, I do)
Someday you and me (Just give me one
more try)
In love again
I had a dream (I miss your love)
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again
I still believe
Someday you and me(will find
ourselves in love...) | |
