The Lost MP3 Files
I have three or four MP3 players, mainly because I keep on losing them but they always turn up somehow. One of them was lost for a few years, but it just reappeared, and it's like a time machine. Songs I played over and over as I hiked for miles across vast expanses, back in the days when that was possible. I still walk (a LOT) but not like then.
The past several years have been a different kind of journey. And the MP3 player that I just found is like walking back into a different age, before several cognitive changes took place. A lot of feeling comes through to me in music. Part of my journey has been re-learning the gift of appreciating music. For a while, I lost the capability of comprehending lyrics, or remembering lyrics. Though I could recall every nuance of a tune, the words were lost someplace. Music became a cacophony, mere noise. But then I learned how to read the lyrics while listening to the songs, and in the process something else was regained - my own sure and clear voice, and audio clarity. I also regained the capacity to read and understand written and spoken words, and to convey at least a complete thought (if not perfect syntax). Sound ceased to be noise, and I could differentiate between a bird calling from far away and a plane flying overhead. Honestly, I would have rather been struck deaf than to have sounds competing in a mish-mash. No one will ever comprehend except for me, what a gift it is, that they no longer do. I know how blessed I am for this. This thread is for music coupled with the complete lyrics. Maybe someone else out there is trying to re-learn their own language (whatever that language may be) and could benefit from reading and listening along here. I would also like to see posts in other languages, but I am afraid if I post in anything other than my native language (english) I would not be sure if the lyrics were correct and do not wish to offend anyone by posting wrong lyrics. Anyone who can, is welcome to do so. I'm going to start this off, and I am fully aware I may be alone in this endeavor of trying to improve speech and language by using music and lyrics. That's okay! I'm just grateful for the space in which to do this. I'm probably going to use songs that may be considered "oldies" because it's what is more commonly found in my "long term memory banks"; women's music if I can find it, and lots of stuff from the "lost MP3 files." My first offering, from the lost MP3 files: Cris Williamson, from the album "The Changer And The Changed". I listened to this non-stop I first got it (using something called a "record player"). It was my introduction to "women's music" and I gathered quite an eclectic collection of various artists over the years. Unfortunately, not all of those artists have youtubes of their songs available.

I woke up early with a poundin' in my head I'd been out the night before with all my friends A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did I said, " Lord, please forgive me for my sins." My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first "You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church." I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along And made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake We met the family for dinner at our home Drank some beer, watched a game, and cooked some steaks My little brother had a big fight with his wife And my poor mother sat between'em both all night I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life We said a prayer for Cousin Michael in Iraq We're all aware that he may never make it back We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes And how he loved to be a soldier more than most I laid in bed that night and thought about the day And how my life is like a roller coaster ride The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight You can't really smile until you've shed some tears I could die today or I might live on for years I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life Alright It's a beautiful life Awful, beautiful, life I love this life It's a beautiful life |

I'm gonna make a change for once in my life It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference Gonna make it right As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat This wind is blowing my mind I see the kids in the streets with not enough to eat Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs A summer disregard, a broken bottle top And a one man soul They follow each other on the wind ya' know 'Cause they got nowhere to go That's why I want you to know I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place (If you wanna make the world a better place) Take a look at yourself, and then make a change (Take a look at yourself, and then make a change) (Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah) I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love It's time that I realize That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone? A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart And a washed-out dream (Washed-out dream) They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see 'Cause they got no place to be That's why I'm starting with me (Starting with me!) I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Ooh!) I'm asking him to change his ways (Ooh!) And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place (If you wanna make the world a better place) Take a look at yourself, and then make a change (Take a look at yourself, and then make a change) I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Ooh!) I'm asking him to change his ways (Change his ways - ooh!) And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make that.. (Take a look at yourself and then make that..) CHANGE! I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!) I'm asking him to change his ways (Better change!) No message could have been any clearer (If you wanna make the world a better place) (Take a look at yourself and then make the change) (You gotta get it right, while you got the time) ('Cause when you close your heart) You can't close your... your mind! (Then you close your... mind!) That man, that man, that man, that man With the man in the mirror (Man in the mirror, oh yeah!) That man, that man, that man, I'm asking him to change his ways (Better change!) You know... that man No message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place (If you wanna m ake the world a better place) Take a look at yourself and then make the change (Take a look at yourself and then make the change) Hoo!

His father works some days for fourteen hours And you can bet he barely makes a dollar His mother goes to scrub the floor for many And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy To walk to school she's got to get up early Her clothes are old but never are they dirty Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many His patience's long but soon he won't have any [ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/hXo ] To find a job is like a haystack needle Cause where he lives they don't use colored people Living just enough, just enough for the city... Living just enough... For the city...ooh,ooh [repeat several times] His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty He spends his love walking the streets of New York City He's almost dead from breathing on air pollution He tried to vote but to him there's no solution Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah, yeah, yeah! I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow This place is cruel no where could be much colder If we don't change the world will soon be over Living just enough, just enough for the city!!!!

That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY9tkhEdjfc"]YouTube - That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be - Carly Simon[/nomedia]
My father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the dark. The living room is still; I walk by, no remark. I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines. I hear her call sweet dreams, But I forgot how to dream. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. My friends from college they're all married now; They have their houses and their lawns. They have their silent noons, Tearful nights, angry dawns. Their children hate them for the things they're not; They hate themselves for what they are- And yet they drink, they laugh, Close the wound, hide the scar. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. You say we can keep our love alive Babe - all I know is what I see - The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris. You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, But soon you'll cage me on your shelf - I'll never learn to be just me first By myself. Well O.K., it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be, You want to marry me, we'll marry, We'll marry. |
With A Little Luck - Paul McCartney And Wings
my MP3 player seems to be stuck in the 70's and 80's for a little bit. Still having trouble trying to figure out how to make the youtube be a clickable screen instead of the link, but when it opens a separate screen I just narrow them so both screens are side by side, then I can read and listen at the same time. With a little luck we can help it out We can make this whole damn thing work out With a little love we can lay it down Can't you feel the town exploding? There is no end to what we can do together There is no end The willow turns his back on inclement weather And if he can do it, we can do it just me and you And a little luck we can clear it up We can bring it in for a landing With a little luck we can turn it on There can be no misunderstanding There is no end to what we can do together There is no end The willow turns his back on inclement weather We can do it, just me and you With a little push we could set it off We can send it rocketing skywards With a little love we could shake it up Don't you feel the comet exploding? With a little luck we can help it out We can make this whole damn thing work out With a little love we can lay it down Can't you feel the town exploding With a little luck, baby We could set it off, send it rocketing skywards With a little luck we could shake it up, oh yeah, yeah With a little luck we can help it out We can make this whole damn thing work out With a little love we can lay it down Can't you feel the town exploding? With a little push we could set it off We can send it rocketing skywards With a little love we could shake it up Don't you feel the comet exploding? Woh oh, woo |
Runaway - Bonnie Raitt
I was hummin this tune to the lost MP3 player, LOL it did run away for a bit. As I walk along I wonder what went wrong With our love, a love that was so strong And as still walk on I think of the things we've done Together while our hearts were young I'm a walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder, I wo wo wo wo wonder Why, why why why why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay My little runaway, a run run run run runaway |
Badlands - Bruce Springsteen
Lights out tonight Trouble in the heartland Got a head-on collision Smashin' in my guts man I'm caught in a crossfire That I don't understand I don't give a damn For the same old played out scenes I don't give a damn For just the in-betweens Honey I want the heart, I want the soul I want control right now Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting Badlands, you gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay We'll keep pushin' till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good Workin' in the fields Til you get your back burned Workin' 'neath the wheel Till you get your facts learned Baby got my facts Learned real good right now Poor man wanna be rich Rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied Till he rules everything I wanna go out tonight I wanna find out what I got I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the hope that can save me I believe in the faith And I pray that some day it may raise me Above these badlands Badlands, you gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay We'll keep pushin' till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good For the ones who had a notion A notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me I wanna find one place I wanna spit in the face of these badlands Badlands, you gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay We'll keep pushin' till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good |
Strange Paradise - Cris Williamson
I have more songs by Cris on the mp3, but cannot find youtubes of them. Might have to turn a few of them into youtubes, wonder why there is such a dearth of women's music on the internet. This one, though I know every note by heart, the lyrics seem almost too simple to grasp. strange paradise seems like there is no choice only a pawn in the game it's all the same you win and you lose but still you choose you know you do it's up to you strange paradise ancient fire and ice making their moves once again beginning and end you win and you lose but still you choose you know you do it's up to you stranger in paradise cold and alone later and later now no place to go what does it matter now you are your own home paradise taking your turn at the throw of the dice in the game paradise taking your turn at the throw of the dice in the game danger in paradise taking your turn at the fire and ice once again i'm just a stranger paradise i'm just a stranger paradise |
Crazy On You - and Dreamboat Annie - Heart
Nancy can sure play a guitar. I love this intro. If we still have time we might still get by Every time I think about it, I wanna cry With bombs and the devil and the kids keep comin' No way to breathe easy, no time to be young But I tell myself that I'm doin' all right There's nothin' left to do at night But go crazy on you..... crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you... oh... My love is the evening breeze, touchin' your skin The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind The whisper that calls after you in the night And kisses your ear in the early light And you don't need to wonder, you're doin' fine And my love, the pleasure's mine Let me go crazy on you.... crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you.... oh..... Wild man's world is cryin' in pain Whatcha' gonna do whan everybody's insane So afraid of one who's so afraid of you What you gonna do...? Ohhh... (Ah.......) Ooooo... Crazy on you... crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you...... oh.... I was a willow last night in a dream I bent down over a clear running stream I sang you the song that I heard up above And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love Crazy... yeah, crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you... oh... Crazy on you, crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you... yeah! Crazy on you, crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you... oh... A Heart two-fer, and another great intro from Nancy, this one always reminds me of Annie B. Heading out this morning, into the sun Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one Warm wind caress her, her lover it seems Oh Annie, dreamboat Annie, little ship of dreams Oh Annie, dreamboat Annie, little ship of dreams Going down the city sidewalk, alone in the crowd No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds Sad faces painted over with those magazine smiles Heading out to somewhere, won't be back for a while |
Coming Out Of The Dark - Gloria Estefan
The last one for tonight. couldn't find a youtube of her singing this on the american music awards in 1991, which was her first public performance after a death-defying accident in 1990. Years later I came to identify with her 'comeback' for different reasons, but at the time she was an inspiration to me. still is. The ability to come out on the other side from adversity, shows great strength. One of my pet phrases is "nobody gets out of this alive" meaning we all gotta go eventually. But to kick ass and knock death down a few times on the way out, that's how life goes too. This video is symbolic of her life before the accident, showing her singing and dancing, adoring crowds, etc. It feels so reflective... maybe that's not the word. A retrospective? I can imagine her in the hospital, thinking about what she had lost, perhaps forever. but in 1:57, when she knelt on the edge of the stage and then at 1:59 the same stance from years before is superimposed, that is *the moment* that all of her hard work was for. the fact that she COULD bend again, is the miracle that is not lost on me. Then, at 3:00 she goes from sitting upright to leaning all the way back, holding her core tight until she is lying flat on the ground and that was NOT done with ropes or strings... phenomenal. How many people who have NOT had a broken spine, could achieve that feat? She has eight inches of titanium on the sides of her spinal column. In an article, Gloria said: "I found I had discipline I never dreamed possible. I also realized I had the ability to help in the healing process. I believe we all possess the ability to help heal ourselves." So utterly true. In all things, whether it is your spine, your brain, your heart, your arms, your legs, whatever gets broken, we all possess the ability to HELP heal ourselves. It does not mean we will always be restored completely. Nor will we be unscarred. If we do not choose to heal, we will not be healed. It's that simple to me. The word 'discipline' means to teach. There are many ways to learn how to stay stuck, stay broken, and stay in a rut. It's the easiest way, sometimes. It's not 'wrong' for those who choose that path. But I discovered something, and it's that learning how to heal is not more difficult than staying broken, it just requires a different kind of energy. I learn by practicing, over and over the lessons that I learn until they become a habit. Like reading and singing out loud. Nope, I'm not gonna get out alive (never gonna win a grammy either) but I'ma gonna kick death's ass a couple more times on the way out. Why be afraid if I'm not alone life is never easy the rest is unkown Up to now for me it's been hands against stone each and every moment Searching for what to believe Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now It's shining on me Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me You're sharing with me Starting again is part of the plan And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand Step by step I'll make it through I know I can It may not make it easier but I have felt you Near all the way Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now It's shinning on me Coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me You're sharing with me Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love Forever I'll stand on the rock CAN'T NOBODY STOP ME, WATCH ME Forever, forever I stand on the rock of Love is all it takes, no matter what we face (I'm not able yet to write down the ending chorus yet because it repeats with subtle differences, gotta work on that, though I do start with lyrics found on the internet I listen several times to go over the words to make sure they are accurate and complete. Sometimes, though, just get stumped. mea culpa.) |
The Christmas Song - by Mel Torme
A song familiar to most people. Mel Torme (also known as "The Velvet Fog") wrote this with Bob Wells in 1944, Mel was 19 years old and wrote all of the music and some of the lyrics. Bob started writing it not as a Christmas song, but something he wrote to try to keep cool during a sweltering hot day. This version has slightly different lyrics than what we typically hear at the end. I'm not typically down with religious messages or inflicting them on others. This song is intended to be shared by me with goodwill and cheer. With that, I'm out until after Christmas on some "secret missions" (as my parents used to call them, conferring with "Santa" to make sure he can fit his sack down the chimney) so I wish everyone a happy holiday, may your days be merry and bright! Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright, Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh, And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although it's been said Many times, Many ways Merry Christmas to you. And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although it's been said Many times, Many ways Merry Christmas to you. Love and joy come to you and to you your Christmas too and god bless you and send you a happy new year and god send you a happy new year |
At The Zoo - Simon And Garfunkel
Tonight, in descending alphabetical order, all from the lost 'n found:
Someone told me It's all happening at the zoo. I do believe it, I do believe it's true. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Whoooa. Mmmmm. It's a light and tumble journey From the East Side to the park; Just a fine and fancy ramble To the zoo But you can take the crosstown bus If it's raining or it's cold, And the animals will love it If you do If you do Something tells me It's all happening at the zoo I do believe it, I do believe it's true Mmmmm Mmmmm Whoooa Mmmmm The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb. Orangutans are skeptical Of changes in their cages, And the zookeeper is very fond of rum Zebras are reactionaries, Antelopes are missionaries, Pigeons plot in secrecy, And hamsters turn on frequently What a gas! You gotta come and see At the zoo At the zoo At the zoo At the zoo At the zoo At the zoo At the zoo At the zoo |
And When I Die - Blood, Sweat, And Tears
If you like tuba solos (who could NOT love a tuba solo???) this one delivers at 3:00, goes on for a little over two minutes. This version on youtube is awesome. I'm not scared of dying, And I don't really care. If it's peace you find in dying, Well then let the time be near. If it's peace you find in dying, And if dying time is here, Just bundle up my coffin 'Cause it's cold way down there. I hear that its cold way down there Yeah, crazy cold way down there And when I die, and when I'm gone, There'll be one child born In this world to carry on, to carry on. Now troubles are many, they're as deep as a well. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell, But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell. Yes only my dying will tell. Yeah, only my dying will tell. And when I die, and when I'm gone, There'll be one child born In this world to carry on, to carry on. Give me my freedom for as long as I be. All I ask of living is to have no chains on me. All I ask of living is to have no chains on me, And all I ask of dying is to go naturally. Oh I want to go naturally. Here I go, Hey Hey! Here comes the devil, Right Behind. Look out children, Here he comes! Here he comes! Hey... Don't want to go by the devil. Don't want to go by demon. Don't want to go by Satan, Don't want to die uneasy. Just let me go naturally. and when I die, When I'm dead, dead and gone, There'll be one child born in our world to carry on, To carry on. |
America - Simon And Garfunkel
Let us be lovers, We'll marry our fortunes together. I've got some real estate here in my bag. So we bought a pack of cigarettes, And Mrs. Wagner's pies, And walked off To look for America. "Kathy", I said, As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh, Michigan seems like a dream to me now. It took me four days To hitch-hike from Saginaw. "I've come to look for America." Laughing on the bus, Playing games with the faces, She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy. I said, "Be careful, His bow tie is really a camera." "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat." We smoked the last one an hour ago. So I looked at the scenery, She read her magazine; And the moon rose over an open field. "Kathy, I'm lost", I said, Though I know she was sleeping. "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why." Counting the cars On the New Jersey Turnpike The've all come To look for America, All come to look for America, All come to look for America. |
Ain't Even Done With The Night - John Cougar Mellencamp
The "backup clappers" -- wow, their suits are something else. Well our hearts beat like thunder I don't know why they don't explode You got your hands in my back pockets And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true Well I'm tellinya that I don't know if I know what to do You say that's all right, hold tight Well I don't even know if I'm doin' this right Well all right, hold tight We can stay out all day or we can run around all night Well all night, all night Well it's time to go home And I ain't even done with the night Well I don't know no good come-ons And I don't know no cool lines I feel the heat of your frustration I know it's burnin you up deep down inside You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true Well I'm tellin ya that I don't know if I know what to do You say that's all right, hold tight Well I don't even know if I'm doin' this right Well all right, hold tight We can stay out all day or we can run around all night Well all night, all night Well it's time to go home And I ain't even done with the night |

Ace In The Hole - George Strait
You've got to have an ace in the hole A little secret that nobody knows Life is a gamble, a game we all play But you need to save something for a rainy day You've got to learn to play your cards right If you expect to win in life Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole If you're headed down a one way street And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go In money or love or all the above Have a little more than what you show When life deals out a surprise Have a few surprises of your own No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole You've got to have an ace in the hole A little secret that nobody knows Life is a gamble, a game we all play But you need to save something for a rainy day You've got to learn to play your cards right If you expect to win in life Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole |
A Day In The Life - The Beatles
I read the news today oh boy About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad Well I just had to laugh I saw the photograph. He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before Nobody was really sure If he was from the House of Lords. I saw a film today oh boy The English Army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away but I just had to look Having read the book. I'd love to turn you on Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, And looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke, Somebody spoke and I went into a dream I read the news today oh boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. I'd love to turn you on |
Four bangin like my car
Wow, tonight I sorted them differently and got a blast of British Invasion artists. All those pink fluffy clouds, where nothing could cut or scar us, on the AM radio stations. They live on, on the Lost MP3 player!
My Love - Petula Clark My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love Something happened to my heart the day that I met you Something that I never felt before You are always on my mind no matter what I do And everyday, it seems I want you more My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love Once, I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me Once, I thought you'd never come my way Now, it only goes to show how wrong we all can be For now, I have to tell you everyday My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love Elusive Butterfly Of Love - Petula Clark You might wake up some morning To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind And if you're quick enough to rise you'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of Across my dream with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love Out on the new horizon, You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings And if the sleep has left your ears, You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of Across my dream with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love Downtown - Petula Clark When you're alone and life is making you lonely You can always go - downtown. When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry Seems to help I know - downtown. Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there you can forget all your troubles Forget all your cares so go - downtown Things will be great when you're - downtown No finer place for sure - downtown Everything's waiting for you - downtown. Don't hang around and let your problems surround you There are movie shows - downtown. Maybe you know some little places to go to where they never close - downtown. Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over happy again. The lights are much brighter there you can forget all your troubles Forget all your cares so go - downtown Where all the lights are bright - downtown waiting for you tonight - downtown you're gonna be alright now downtown downtown downtown (fade out) Don't Sleep In The Subway - Petula Clark You wander around on your own little cloud When you don't see the why or the wherefore You walk out on me when we both disagree 'Cause to reason is not what you care for I've heard it all a million time before Take off your coat, my love, and close the door Don't sleep in the subway, darlin' Don't stand in the pouring rain Don't sleep in the subway, darlin' The night is long Forget your foolish pride Nothing's wrong Now you're beside me again You try to be smart, then you take it to heart 'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated You don't realize that it's all compromise And the problems are so overrated Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show So why pretend you've somewhere else to go Don't sleep in the subway, darlin' Don't stand in the pouring rain Don't sleep in the subway, darlin' The night is long Forget your foolish pride Nothing's wrong Now you're beside me again Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'...

David Bowie - Changes (one for the road)
Bye bye, 2010. It's been great knowin ya, and I expect 2011 to be full of more of those life changes sure to come!
Oh, yeah Mmm Still don't know what I was waitin' for And my time was runnin' wild A million dead end streets and Every time I thought I'd got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I've never caught a glimpse of How the others must see the faker I'm much too fast to take that test Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Don't want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can't trace time Mmm, yeah I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence So the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're goin' through Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Don't tell them to grow up and out of it Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Where's your shame? You've left us up to our necks in it Time may change me But you can't trace time Strange fascination, fascinatin' Ah, changes are takin' The pace I'm goin' through Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Pretty soon now you're gonna get older Time may change me But I can't trace time I said that time may change me But I can't trace time |
Wonder
Doctors have come From distant cities Just to see me, Stand over my bed Disbelieving what they're seeing. They say I must be one of the wonders, God's own creation, Snd as far as they see they can offer No explanation. Newspapers ask Intimate questions, What confessions; They reach into my head To steal the glory Of my story. They say I must be one of the wonders, God's own creation, And as far as they see they can offer No explanation. I believe Fate smiled at destiny. Laughed as she came to my cradle: "No, this child will be able" Laughed as my body she lifted: "No, this child will be gifted. With love, with patience And with faith, She'll make her way" People see me, I'm a challenge To your balance. I'm over your heads; How I confound you And astound you to know I must be one of the wonders, God's own creation, And as far as you see you can offer me no explanation. I believe Fate smiled and destiny. Laughed as she came to my cradle: "No, this child will be able" Laughed as she came to my mother: "Know this child will not suffer." Laughed as my body she lifted: "No this child will be gifted. With love, with patience, And with faith, She'll make her way." For all the walking wonders on this earth I'm one, too. |
