Haunted Eyes
Your eyes are as big as a quarter when they’re shining
Your fingers reach down in my stomach lining
Your voice sounds just like an alley cat is crying
I got the feeling you have never once stopped trying to undress me
You make yourself into a mirror to reflect me
I see my eyes are shallow stones
In a prison made of bones
Wrapped in a bag of skin
Highlighted by the lines of repetition
That all my fear’s been carvingHaunted eyes
Sing in secret
Haunted eyes
Are huge and empty
Haunted eyes
Flutter just like butterfly wings
Haunted eyes
They always watch you breathingDrenching thunder rolls right by me
I’m only visible when you’re beside me
And what I can’t possess still remains inside of me
Its violence coming out of your mouth now
Is at once menacing and hard to see
Oh but finally I think I see
That you are fat and you are flat
You are a star in a jar
You’re a monster with nothing who’s been chewing
On the worm your best friend your pet fish was pursuingYou’re the only witness so if you die
i don’t think I’m considered guilty of this crime
I take it to bed with me each and every night
The guilt wakes me up and shades my morning light
‘Cause people break
in fact I helped you to destruct
I’ll say anything you want but I can’t reconstruct
You only tell more lies in a darker shade of white
Hurry up and punish me so I can feel alright
Forever, if ever, only ever, neverJoseph Arthur
Say Hello Wave Goodbye
Standin’ at the door of the Pink Flamingo
Cryin’ in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen again
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a runaround
A lost and found
And not for me I feelTake your hands off me
I don’t belong to you
You see
And take a look in my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbyeSay hello and wave goodbye
We tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit but it just wasn’t me
You’re used to wearing less
And now your life’s a mess
So insecure you see
Well I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene that’s goin to be played my wayTake your hands off me
I don’t belong to you
You see
And take a look in my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbyeSay hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light
I can see the make-up slidin down
Well hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
As for me
Well I’ll find someone who’s not goin cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife who’ll give me a steady life
And not keep going off the railsTake your hands off me
I don’t belong to you
You see
And take a look in my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbyeSay hello and wave goodbye
We were born before the wind..

The Heart Of The Matter
I got the call today that I didn’t wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin’ on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love’s open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew I’m learning again
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it’s about
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don’t love me anymoreOh these times are so uncertain
There’s a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
Oh the trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They’re the very things we kill I guess
Oh pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
No it doesn’t keep me warmBut I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you Baby
The more I know the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it’s about
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don’t love me anymoreThere are people in your life who’ve come and gone
They let you down
You know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby
‘Cause life goes on
You keep carryin’ that anger
It’ll eat you up insideBaby I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it’s about
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don’t love meI’ve been tryin’ to get down to the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I’m thinkin’ about
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if
Even if you don’t love meForgiveness..
Even if you don’t love me anymore
Don Henley
Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Well they’re still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she’s got a house up in Fairview
And a style she’s trying to maintainWell if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I’m easily found
Tell her there’s a spot out ‘neath Abram’s Bridge
And tell her..
There’s a darkness on the edge of town
There’s a darkness on the edge of townNow everybody’s got a secret sonny
Just something that they can’t ..
Can’t face
Some folks they spend their whole lives just trying to keep it
And they carry it with them every step that they takeTill some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag ’em down
Where no one asks any questions
Or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of townNow some folks are born into a good life
And other folks just get it anyway anyhow
Well me I lost my money and then I lost my wife
But them things don’t seem to matter much to me now‘Cause tonight I’ll be on that hill ’cause I can’t stop
I’ll be on that hill with everything I got
My life’s on the line where dreams are found and lost
I’ll be there on time and I’ll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of townBruce Springsteen
Nebraska
I saw her standin’ on her front lawn
Just a twirlin’ her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir
And ten innocent people diedFrom the town of Lincoln Nebraska
With a sawed off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
I killed everything in my pathI can’t say that I’m sorry
For the things that we done
At least for a little while sir
Me and her we had us some funNow the jury brought in a guilty verdict
And the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom
With leather straps across my chestSheriff when the man pulls that switch sir
And snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby
Is sittin’ right there on my lapWell they declared me unfit to live
Said into that great void my soul be hurled
They wanna know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess there’s just a meanness in this worldBruce Springsteen
It’s cold outside
And the paint’s peeling off of my walls
There’s a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigaretteNow the light fades out
And I’m wondering what I’m doing in a room like this
There’s a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered youSo now I’m alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And *issues*
And things that I just don’t understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don’t think it meant anything to youSo I open the door
It’s the `friend’ that I’d left in the hallway
Please sit down
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bedYou know I hate to ask
But, are `friends’ electric?
Mine’s broke down
And now I’ve no one to loveSo I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I’m lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it’s time to leave
You see this means everything to meHide And Seek
There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all
Just a distant hum
There was a Being and He lived on His own
He had no one to talk to
And nothing to doHe drew up the plans
Learned to work with His hands
A million years passed by
And His work was done
And His words were these…Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it
Hope you find it
Hope you find Me in YouSo She had built Her elaborate home
With its ups and its downs
It’s rains and it’s sun
She decided that Her work was done
Time to have fun
And find a game to playThen as part of the game
She completely forgot where She’d hidden Herself
And She spent the rest of Her time
Trying to find the partsHope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it
Hope you find it
Hope you find Me in YouThere was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all
Just a distant humHoward Jones
Working Class Hero
GreendayAs soon as you’re born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beThey hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool
Till you’re so
crazy you can’t follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beWhen they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Working Class Hero lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still
peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beThere’s room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beIf you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow meFoo Fighters – Everlong
Hello
I’ve waited here for you
EverlongTonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sangCome down
And waste away with me
Down with meSlow how
You wanted it to be
I’m over my head, out of her head she sang
Chorus-And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good againThe only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Verse 2-Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you inAnd now
I know you’ve always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang
Chorus-And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good againThe only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sangChorus-
And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good againThe only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sangKing Of Pain
There’s a little black spot on the sun today
It’s the same old thing as yesterday
There’s a black cat caught in a high tree top
There’s a flag pole rag and the wind won’t stopI 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 PainThere’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 cat 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 thereI 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 PainThere’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 thereI 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 PainThere’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 breadKing 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 yesterdayI 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 PainKing Of Pain
King Of Pain
King Of Pain
I’ll always be
King of Pain
I’ll always be
King of Pain
I’ll always be
