there's too many men
too many people
making too many problems
and not much love to go round

this is a land of confusion

your life is trite and jaded
boring and confiscated
if that's your best
your best won't do...

posted by jonmc 10 October | 14:50

I love the way you use
I love the way that you use me
Oh yeah
I love the way you shoot
I love the way that you shoot to kill me
Oh yeah
It's taken miles and lines to learn the
Right from the wrong
I keep you hanging on...

I'm letting you go

i wish that i had jesse's girl
where can i find a woman like that?

posted by mike9322 10 October | 14:58

She was seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin' on ringside,
on top of the world, oh, yeah.
She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa,
what a beautiful girl, ah, yeah.
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can
turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the look to me like she'd like to fool around.
What a snappy little mammy. Gonna keep her pappy happy
and accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

we're running with the shadows of the night
so baby take my hand, it'll be alright
surrender all your dreams to me tonight
they'll come true in the end

The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while

posted by Daniel Charms 10 October | 15:22

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

posted by item 10 October | 15:29

You can dance if you want to
You can leave your friends behind
'Cos your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine

You say you gotta be
Cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you
Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind

But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell

i come from a land down under
where beer does flow and men chunder
can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
you better run, you better take cover...

I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin'
St. Elmo's Fire

one night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
the bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
you'll find a god in every golden cloister
and if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

Am i the only one that heard this as:

"Caribbean queen,
yeah she's wearing the sunscreen
and our hats will be the one
No more blood on the run"?

So raise your hands to heaven and pray. That we'll be back together someday.

And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight.
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her lock
They're gonna send you back to Mother
In a cardboard box.

Moving on the floor now babe, you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch the mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best.

They were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…
Till you die…oh, till you die

(or become extinct)

And you, don't you know my tears will burn the pillow
Set this place on fire 'cause I'm tired of your lies
All I needed was a simple "Hello"
But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear my cry

Ah, I gave you my love in vain
My body never knew such pleasure
My heart never knew such pain
And you, you leave me so confused
Now I'm all cried out over you

posted by jrossi4r 10 October | 22:51

Saw the signs,
but you can't read.
You're running at
different speeds.
You're so uptight,
You can't breathe;
Another kiss
Is all you need..

SANITARIUM!

LEAVE ME BE!

Take it to the bridge,
throw it overboard,
see if it can swim
back into the shore.
No one's in the house,
everyone is out,
all the lights are on
and the blinds are down.

No one understood what I felt for mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me
