You've already won me over, in spite of me

And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet

And don't be surprised if I love you, for all that you are

I couldn't help it; its all your fault...

First heard in 1994, and it always comes back to me.

Closer I am to fine"

Hello, darkness, my old friend
(Simon & Garfunkel)

The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightening from the top of a cloud

*~without love in a dream, it will never come true*~

Yes, he's bad, bad LeRoy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junk yard dog.

Hozier - From Eden
 

Idealism sits in prison,
Chivalry fell on its sword,
Innocence died screaming, honey.
Ask me, I should know;
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door.

Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

All I really want is something beautiful to say.

Lucille Bogan: Shave 'em dry
 

"I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
And yet I wanted to save us high water or Hell
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
And in the meantime I lost myself, in the meantime I lost myself
I'm sorry I lost myself, I am"

from "That particular time" - Alanis Morissette

She talks to angels
They all call her by name
Yeah, she talks to angels

Imagine Dragons ~ Demons
 

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever, or love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance
we can find someone to love
and make it last.

Ghost Of A Chance
Rush

Met him on a Thursday, sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
He was brown, deep
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives
Took me for a long walk,
Where butterflies rest easy

(Jill Scott)

Sarah McLachlan, Do What You Have To Do
 

Deep within, I'm shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you

Brett Eldridge ..
 

If mine could be the name that changes yours,
The wine in your glass,
The swing on your porch,
The dollar in your pocket,
And the peaceful in your sleep,
Then I'd be what you mean to me.

Suzanne Vega: Gypsy
 

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name ‘til the neighbors called the cops
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
Don’t know what I did next, all I know I couldn’t stop

Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
My mama’s phone started ringin’ off the hook
I can hear her now sayin’ she ain’t gonna have it
Don’t matter how you feel, it only matters how you look

Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain’t my mama’s broken heart



Mama's Broken Heart by Miranda Lambert

So sweet
 

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

Wicked: Popular
 

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it

Tori Amos "A Sorta Fairytale"

Here comes the sun....

And I.say...it's alright...


I.hear this in my head every time I.watch the sun rise...either that or.Morning has Broke. by Cat Stevens (formerly)

Don't mind me honey
I'm just looking
Smelt your chicken
And I watched you cooking

David Gray, Snow In Vegas
 

Got my money where my mouth is
The sugar’s in the cane
If I had a million dollars
I’d blow it on champagne
A million bucks champagne yeah
It wouldn’t touch the sides
No-one’s gonna put a foot wrong
It’s one of those nights

Love is never gone away
It’s gonna come around some day


from Tokyo Sunrise, by LP

And we'll walk (with our feet on the ground)
And we'll talk (with our heads in the clouds)


Oh Wonder (Body Gold)

Beware of Darkness - George Harrison
 

Watch out now, take care,
Beware of thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head,
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night:

Beware of sadness.

It can hit you,
It can hurt you,
Make you sore, and what is more
That is not what you are here for.

I've seen a newborn child
Puts stars in her mama's eyes
And i pray to the man in the moon
I got drunk with the highway men
Felt the burn of the desert wind
Seen some promising I-dos
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you


Miranda Lambert- holding on to you

You make it look like it’s magic
Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I'm never confused
Hey, hey

I'm so used to being used
So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it

There's no one line i like best, so i put them all.
"The impossible dream"

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go



To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star



This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or cause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause



And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest



And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe, to reach the
unreachable star.

Lynn Anderson
 

But there's something you should know
You'd better look before you leap
Still waters run deep

Where ever is your heart, I call home..

All my underdogs,
We will never be never be, anything but loud
Maybe gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)
Just come on and come on and raise your glass (for me

The Korgis - Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime
 

Change your heart.
It will astound you.

I tried to pick my favorite lines in this song but I discovered I like a lot of the lyrics.

"The Future"
Leonard Cohen

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder

Things are going to slide ...

There'll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'

swoon
 

Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you

What's it been... over a decade?
But it still smarts like it was four minutes ago.
