Talkin 'bout me, talking at me; talk, talk, talk...

Everybody's talking at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stopping staring,
I can't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone.

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breezeAnd skipping over the ocean like a stone

See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light-a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Oops, embrassing enough when you sing the wrong words in private!

Late last night, did I dream?
Over the hill and far away,
they wanted to live in pleasure.
They wanted to live above
the plains, holier than thou,
banking on a cloud, never
coming down to earth and sky.
Did I dream, so late at night?
I saw dinosaurs and sabre tooth
gambling with the treasure.
Nobody home to tell the truth.
Holier than thou, banking on
a cloud, never coming down
to earth and sky. Down to earth
and sky. I awake. I awake
I think I'm safe in my room.
All my fading dreams just
take a bow, they're bending before
the future, holier than thou.
Banking on a cloud, never
coming down to earth and sky.
Earth and sky. Earth and sky.
Earth and sky.

Graham Nash, Earth and Sky

Songwriters: Ondrasik, John;

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Excellent song. Great writing!

I tried to do this about a year ago, and totally butchered it.

In this world I lock all my worries and my fears.

Always something goin' down on Fridays in the summer...


Lazy Gilly was a flower child
All the summer
Calmly running wild
She'd be silly and her friends just smiled
Pass the bottle
Wash the pills down - what went wrong
What went wrong

She don't care no more
She don't need to fight it
She don't care no more
She gets paid on Friday

Mother and Father
Don't you know
He's doing the best that he can
Burdened at birth to belong
Yet everything you taught him was wrong

He's just not the same

He wants to feel with his own thoughts

Not your lame ideal

Given hope

He'll never cease

It's got to end

No more mindfuck

They'll fuck with your head

Make you think it's their life

Instead of your own

Reduced to hate

To fear anything that deviates away

From their own kind

Their minds

Status symbols mold away

Forcing fate

Products obeys

Not education

It's maniuplation

They're fucking you up

Enough is enough

It's got to stop

No more mindfuck

Secrets can make a woman crazy...

She aint waiting til she gets older,
Her feet are making tracks in the winter snow,
She got a rainbow that touches her shoulder,
She be headed where the thunder rolls,
Ah,ah,ah
She got rhythm,
Got that rhythm,of the road
Ah,ah,ah
She get crazy,

Woman get crazy if she cant go
Ah but ah,she just looking good.
She comes like the secret wind
Shes as strong as the mountains,walks tall as a tree.
She been there before,she'll never give in,
She'll be gone tomorrow like the silent breeze.
Ah,ah,ah

(from Pink Floyd, The Wall)

Life isn't easy from the singular side
Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide.

It's your decision, it's the chance that you take
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break.

Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies?
Would you take me in, are you lonely in the dark?

In the dark.
In the dark.
In the dark.

You never listen to the voices inside.
They fill your ears as your run to a place to hide.

You're never sure if the illusion is real.
You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel.

Can you break away from your alibis?
Can you make a play will you meet me in the dark?

In the dark.
In the dark.
In the dark.

Billy Squier, 1981

Standing in the middle of nowhere
Wondering how to begin
Lost between tomorrow and yesterday
Between now and then
And now we're back where we started
Here we go round again
Day after day I get up and I say
I better do it again

Well I tried to make it sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, sister golden hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Working so hard is hard work...


She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

She already knows she's seen her bad times.
She already knows these are the good times.
She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill.
She works haaaaard.........

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.

Bad boys, whatcha gonna do?


Don't wanna be in a cell
Don't wanna end up in hell
I know I don't like what I see
Don't want it to happen to me
I gotta get out of this town
No sense in hanging around
Time I found out what I want to be

Nobody wants to run, and nobody wants to hide
The moment of truth becomes a burning inside

Hey look at me, and you'll see
How I've changed my ways
I'm not there, you're not here
Won't have people say

Bad boys, bad boysBad boys, see how they run
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, see how they run

REO SPEEDWAGON LYRICS


"Golden Country"


Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah......
