From the album Holidays In Eden

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)

I've got a photograph
I took a picture of you
I took your photograph in front of my favourite view

You play the part so well
You look so sure and free
No one could ever tell that you belong to me

And 'cause you lie so well
I've got to pin you down
Under lock and key
So you will always be in my in my collection

If you can't speak you can't lie
If you can't run and you can't hide
I know a place you can't die
So no one lives inside
My collection

I want to capture you
I want to immortalize
The way you play with your hair
The way you flash your eyes

I taste the air you breathe
I taste the food you eat
I keep your nails and hair
And some of the clothes you wear

If you can't speak you can't lie
If you can't run you can't hide
And if you're dead you can't die
So no one lives inside
No one lives inside
My collection

I've got some photographs
I'd like to show them to you
'though you don't know the girls
You'll recognize the view...

A Cloak of Elvenkind

- Album: Marcy Playground
- Singer: Marcy Playground


From the album Marcy Playground

A cloaking robe of elvenkind
hangs in my wardrobe behind
All those things that mother
said were proper for a boy
And I know I could not say why
On this summer evening
Sixteen books on magic spells
stacked below the cloak of elves
And sixteen books on magic spells
so elegantly bound
And I know I could not say why
On this summer evening
And I know something...something about you
And I know something...something about you

A cloaking robe of elvenkind
hangs in my wardrobe behind
All those things that mother said
were proper for a boy

- Album: Sky Motel
- Singer: Kristin Hersh


From the album Sky Motel

A high
That's a swell take on this situation
I was trying to rectify
I was trying to skip out on this high
Keep away from the freaks on the fringe
They only talk to you
'Cause you give them a good excuse to cry

But in a cleaner light, it's ok
In a cleaner light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok

This strange old sunshine beats me senseless
But it's supposed to be keeping me healthy
It's a lie
You're a strange old thing that keeps me senseless
But you're supposed to be keeping me company

But in a cleaner light, it's ok
In a cleaner light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok

I wake up feeling fragile
It's nothing the TV couldn't cure
Or lying here for my whole life

But in a cleaner light, it's ok
In a cleaner light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok

They only talk to you 'cause you're there

From the album unknown

hear me god i'm on the level
Mapping silence seeing things
Crying laughing like the devil

And before the might
Of all that's seen
I'll raise my head
And wake to dream
With a clean pair of eyes

Murdered gold and colours flashing
Time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing

And before the might
Of all that's true
I'll raise my head
And dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes

A clean pair of eyes
Don't need no one to blame
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to sweet my brain
A clean pair of eyes

Today i need no commentary
Today i do not need to speak
No explanation necessary

And before the might
Of al thats seen
I'll raise my head
And dream again
With a clean pair of eyes

A clean pair of eyes
Don't need no right or wrong
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes

Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tambourine of smoke suns
Love that blinds up fear that cripples

And before the might
Of all that's seen
I'll raise my head
And wake to dream
And before the might
Of all that's true
I'll raise my head
And dream anew
And before the might
Of all unnamed
I'll raise my head
And dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again

From the album Nodes of Ranvier

Pull the syringe away from my arm and watch it fall to the floor
(I have decided) My tomorrow does not need you
All your talk and all your ideals run from your mouth, rapid and dirty.
So all you scene kids,
Bow your heads to the "kings of your scene"
And abide by their punk rock laws and man made ideals.
As for me, Ill stay sober.

Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute i'll wash that love away
Even now we remember what we used to say
Takes a minute to wash that love away
Take a clean break: wash that love away

Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'll be together if we wash that love away

What's tha matter ?
Have to clean up ?
That's true
That's true
And it's taken
To extreme extent
That's why we
Work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away

(an audience is watching a less than distinguished movie.
[in both the original london and new york productions of
Evita, a clip from one of eva peron's own movies was used].
The soundtrack dialogue is in spanish, the music melodramatic.)

(julieta:) carlos.

(carlos:) julieta, mi querida julieta.

(julieta:) carlos, no tendrías que haber venido.

(carlos:) julieta, ni un millar de soldados me puede detener.

(julieta:) pero es peligroso, mi padre te arrestará.

(carlos:) tenía que venir.

(julieta:) ¡carlos!

(carlos:) hasta este momento, mis labios no han osado murmurar
La palabra amor.

(julieta:) carlos.

(carlos:) y mucho más que eso, mi ser todo vibra de deseo.
¯qué fue eso? algo se movió en el balcón de tu
Padre. si fuera ese truhán de rodolfo, juro que mi espada no
Permanecerá en su vaina.

(julieta:) ¡carlos, ten cuidado! te quiero, carlos, te quiero.

(suddenly the film grinds to a halt. the people in the cinema
Begin to protest but are silenced by an announcement.)

(the voice of the secretary of the press:)
It is my sad duty to inform you that eva peron, spiritual leader
Of the nation, entered immortality at 8:25 this evening.

From the album unknown

I'm all freaked out
I'm all tweaked out
I'm being chased by insects
And i wanna eat my cigarettes
I can't hang out
I'm all strung out
I've got to grab me by the throat
I've got to herd me like a goat

A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet

I'm all mixed up
I gotta fix me up
I wanna pull my tongue out
And turn my nostrils inside out
I'm all dried up
I'm all fried up
I wanna burn things now and then
If i've been talkin' to businessmen

A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet

I'm all shook up
I wanna get hooked up
I wanna listen to elvis
I wanna shake my pelvis
I wanna take the train downtown
I wanna hear some junior brown
I wanna move my groovy hips
I wanna bite my shaky lips

A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet

A Church, A Courtroom And Then Goodbye

- Album: Patsy Cline
- Singer: Patsy Cline


From the album Patsy Cline

Written by eddie miller and w.s. stevenson
(as released by patsy cline july 20, 1955)

The first scene was the church, then the altar
Where we claimed each other, with tears of joy we cried
Our friends wished us luck there forever
As we walked from the church, side by side

The next scene was a crowded courtroom
And like strangers we sat side by side
Then i heard the judge make his decision
And no longer were we man and wife

I hate the sight of that courtroom
Where man-made laws push god's laws aside
Then the clerk wrote our story in the record
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye

We walked from that courtroom together
We shook hands and once again we cried
Then it was the end of our story
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye

A Christmas To Remember

- Album: Unknown
- Singer: Dolly Parton


From the album unknown

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Strangers meet and they willingly surrender
Oh! what a christmas to remember
Almost went to aspen but something told me no
I considered mammoth but there wasn't enough snow
And i even thought of gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go
So i headed up to tahoe for a christmas on the slopes

And i had fantasized about christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in a tahoe ski chalet
With a fast talking lover and some slow burning wood
But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good and

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Change the radio and i'll turn the lights down dimmer
Oh! what a christmas to remember

Strangers when we met, lovers as we leave
Christmas to remember, too good to believe
Don't know how or when, but i know we'll meet again
We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind

And you've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
Oh! what a christmas to remember

We loved and laughed and played and joked
Sang christmas songs and talked to folks
Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes
Then to the lodge for dinner
But now it's time for us to go
As our hearts melt like chimney snow
There's just one thing i want to know
Can we do this next winter
Oh! what a christmas to remember

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Though the fire is hot, we'll just have to let it simmer
Oh! what a christmas to remember

You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Though it's cold outside we'll just stroke the burning embers
Oh! what a christmas to remember

From the album A Christmas To Remember

Twinkling lights
A chill is in the air
And carols everywhere
Close your eyes, it's almost here
Candles and cards
And favorite movie scenes
The smell of evergreen
As special as it's always been
And i have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true

Chorus:
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight
We'll wake up to a world of white
It's gonna be a christmas to remember
Light up the fire, play some nat king cole
Always sentimental and don't you know that
It's gonna be a christmas to remember

I know it's true
Time doesn't stand still
Many things can change
But we know some things never will
The memories we share
The songs we always sing
The mystery of life
The hopefulness this season brings
And i have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true

Chorus

From the album The Christmas Album

Lyrics by alan & marilyn bergman, music by johnny mandel

All i want for christmas is you
You're the gift that's made my dreams all come true -
All i need for christmas is here
Finding every sweet surprise
Wrapped up in your eyes
Waiting there for me
Underneath the tree

We'll spend the day
Exchanging kisses
Smile and say "what a christmas this is"

Long before the snowflakes appear
Without bells and mistletoe
Or the tinsel's silver glow
You just look at me and oh - christmas is here

Long before the snowflakes appear
Without bells and mistletoe
Or the tinsel's silver glow
You just look at me and oh - christmas is here

From the album Merry Christmas To You

(gene nelson, john greenebaum, paul nelson)

At an antique desk
An old man sits alone
It's christmas eve
And it's almost time to go

He signs his name to a letter he just wrote
Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow

Chorus:
I want peace on earth for christmas
In a world where there's not one hungry child
They would hope and faith
Conquers fear and hate
All i'm asking for is a little more love

Then he walks outside
And he climbs up on his sleigh
And calls out to his reindeer
Off they fly away
Oh tonight he'll make a million dreams appear
While he wishes that his own dreams would come true this year

Repeat chorus

That they would hope and faith
Conquers fear and hate
All i'm asking for is a little more love

A Christmas Carol

- Album: Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer
- Singer: Tom Lehrer


From the album Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer

One very familiar type of song is the christmas carol. although it is perhaps a bit out of season at this time. however, i'm informed by my "disk jockey" friends - of whom i have none,
In order to get a song popular by christmas time, you have to start plugging it well in advance. so here goes. it has always seemed to me after all. that christmas, with its spirit of giving, o
Us all a wonderful opportunity each year to reflect on what we all most sincerely and deeply believe in.

I refer of course, to money. and yet none of the christmas carols that you hear on the radio or in the street, even attempt to capture the true spirit of christmas as we celebrate it in the unit
Ates. that is to say the commercial spirit. so i should like to offer the following christmas carol for next year, as being perhaps a bit more appropriate.

Christmas time is here, by golly,
Disapproval would be folly,
Deck the halls with hunks of holly,
Fill the cup and don't say "when."
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens,
Mix the punch, drag out the dickens,
Even though the prospect sickens,
Brother, here we go again.

On christmas day you can't get sore,
Your fellow man you must adore,
There's time to rob him all the more
The other three hundred and sixty-four.

Relations, sparing no expense'll
Send some useless old utensil,
Or a matching pen and pencil.
"just the thing i need! how nice!"
It doesn't matter how sincere it
Is, nor how heartfelt the spirit,
Sentiment will not endear it,
What's important is the price.

Hark the herald tribune sings,
Advertising wondrous things.
God rest ye merry, merchants,
May you make the yuletide pay.
Angels we have heard on high
Tell us to go out and buy!

So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
Actually i did rather well myself, this last christmas. the nicest present i received was a gift certificate "good at any hospital for a lobotomy". rather thoughtful.

From the album Procol Harum

(brooker / reid)

My amazon six-triggered bride
Now searching for a place to hide
Still sees the truth quite easily
But shrouds all else in mystery
While madmen in top hats and tails
Impale themselves on six-inch nails
And some arabian also-ran
Impersonates a watering can

Some santa claus-like face of note
Entreats my ears to set afloat
My feeble sick and weary brain
And i am overcome with shame
And hide inside my overcoat
And hurriedly begin to quote
While some arabian sheikh most grand
Impersonates a hot-dog stand

The red cross ambulance outside
Can only mean that i must hide
'til dusk and finally the night
When i will make a hasty flight
Across the sea and far away
To where the weary exiles stay
And some arabian oil-well
Impersonates a padded cell

We got this beat rollin man
We might as well start the chorus line, y'all with that?

[tim dog]
Word up, yeah let's do this shit man
Let's get on that

[ced gee]
Yo so how we gonna do this? yo..
Matter of fact, you know how we gon' do it?
Yo tim dog, ?

[tim dog]
Aight

[ced gee]
We gonna, yeah we gonna get out of here man
It's on you, kick it my brother

[tim dog]
Ahhhhhhhhh shit, call me the hick get vick to lick the dick
To spit, cause i'm too quick
I be appraisin, raised with the brave
I'm the headmaster and you're my slave
Metaphor master, rhymes are disaster
Half the class step back, they'll call me the master
You wanna jet, project with a similie
But i'm so large i boned your girl emily
Procrastinator later hater played out sprayed her
You wanna be taught? raider
I'll control, get bold, uphold, re-fold
In tow.. cause i got so
Many dollars, scholars, holla
Girlies wanna stop and talk but i walk
Away, cause dog don't lay
Rappers wanna play? go ride a sleigh
I'll compare and dare with a stare
You can say where? i'm over here
Metaphor physical, rhymes are artistical lyrical mircales
Difficult, to some terrifical
Hypothetically, alphabetically
Energetically, theoretically
No joke hardcore, rhymes will sting more
Dog will get more, yes yes yes y'all
I manifest protest and progress
Confess with reflex, cause i get cold sex
I can't believe how dope i am
Give me a pound, thank you ma'am
So whether you think that i'm just a myth
To rift to lift the gifts that itch the fifth
To shift his clip that's in control to hold the bolo
A bowl i make you take and ache and fake
Whoooo.. hot damn i'm great
I'm on the chorus line

It's a chorus line (3x)
Yo trev (yeah) bust your rhyme

[t.r. love]
Hold the beat, stop the beat, drop the beat
Gimme a second, to think of
The dopest language for lyrical interest
The metaphor better for, if and in awe
Before the score, want more then implore
The rhyme, line, fine, com-bine design
Redefine, intertwine
Down the line, see the sign, stop sign
Pause -- and let me enter your brain
Reachin the full circumfrence then maintain
To build, in which i'm equal to destroy
I'm like a teacher tornado you're just a toyboy
Made manufactured by, parker brothers
You bought your rhymes, from another wholesale
Words are stale, up to bail
Cause you fail, try to trail
My sugar style, words and rhythm for connecting
Dissecting, interjecting, i'm collecting
I'll rewind myself and then begin again
Strike ignite and burn, just like hydrogen
Come again, as i intend to start to end
To go beyond, means of a titan
I'm fightin, releasing my fury to cause static
And shine, the superstar, reign supreme
T.r. the lover has got to be
Dope and def the best that never fessed
Unless you guessed the test to threat in jest
Never mess up from a chorus line

Yo ced, here's your rhyme

[ced gee]
Metaphor layer, kickin it righteous
Ced gee's the hypest, man that might just
Rip into this, rap right through this
Beat that's sweet to eat, i'm not new to this
Rappin with swing and, bein distinct man
Seein the waffle can, rap with me understand
The fact that i sound def means that i'm buildin
I'm so dope i got rhymes by the million
The image maker breaker taker faker shaker
You rhyme like me, you shoulda stayed the
Hell out the industry, cause that mean you're jockin me
Your sweating me, getting me, telling me, you're not ahead of me
But that's not all, i just feel that i'm better than
Cause i'm ultra, and i'm a veteran
With rhymes, by the thous', stacks and piles
I'm a scientist, you say how
The hell can we ever trust, ced gee when he starts to bust
A rhyme with gale force, conducting with mega-thrust
To build or ill or kill or deal a fill the will
That make the people straight and still
To prance and dance and find romance and take the chance
To glance, while i still do
Rhymes that's powerful, we're the illogical
Mystical just to show, what i know when i go
Out, and move on to battle
You rhymes like shit, youse a quick thinker stinkin
Type of hype i like to recite on.. my chorus line

Yeah boy it's a chorus line
Aiyyo keith (yo) you know what?
It's your rhyme

[kool keith]
I'm crankin up with the rhyme, brain tanks need fuel
Sunoco, diesel rhymes are locked in, turbo
Combustion attitude
Gratitude, increasing altitude, levels
But changing latitude
It's very rude when you step on my path
I laugh and giggle, smile and grin my friend
My style within - holds the righs to win
Your brain i bend, like a pound of steel
Lethal power, to me you're weasel power
I'm overloaded with tons of diesel power
Contraction, you're not ready for action
Two hundred rappers a day, i keep waxin and
Buffin cleanin polishin, every act up
You wanna battle with me you must be cracked up
Stop the jokes the games you're playin
You never were sayin or payin, one bit of attention
To me my rhymes my clothes my hat my shoes
My shirt my tie, the glasses on my eye
I try, not to cry
Cause you're wack as ever, never better
Clever to pick up the mic, in any snow or rain
Or whether or not you tried to scheme a dream
Or beam of life, but my lyrics are bright
Like a satellite, with crystal ball knowledge
I got to college, attend to astrology test
A million groups confessed, i'm still the best
Kool keith to impress
I'm like a heat ray, cookin up your brain
I like it well done, on the chorus line

From the album Berserker

Nothing i can say
Can make your picture talk
I feel so tired and
Nothing i can do
Will make your picture move
I feel so helpless but
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away

If i had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
I have some questions
Things only you could know
If i had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
Nothing you can feel
Can feel as cold as this
I'll sing this song and
I'll say goodbye forever

I wonder
If god is all they say
I can't believe in such things.
I suppose
Some games are hard to lose
But you don't have to play 'cos
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away

A child is born
We've suddenly stepped through
A thousand dolls
A child is born
Her chin is like mine
But her eyes are yours
How perfectly formed are her fingers
So far reach, so much to know
What words will be formed by her fingers
We'll hold her close
Then let her go
How sweet to find
A part of ourselves
We knew nothing of
A child is born
A child that is born of our love

From the album Jackson Browne

I am a child in these hills
I am away
I am alone
I am a child in these hills
And looking for water
And looking for life

Who will show me the river and ask my name?
Is there nobody here who'll do that?

Well i have come to these hills
I will come to the river
As i choose to be gone from the house of my father

I am a child in these hills
I am a child

Chased from the gates of the city where no one had touched me
I am away
I am alone
I am a child in these hills
And looking for water
And looking for life

Who will show me the river and ask me my name?
Is there nobody here who'll do that?

Well i have come to these hills
I will come to the river
As i choose to be gone from the house of my father

I am a child in these hills

I don't remember when i got cold
It was when he would lay into me
Told that your worthless from five years old
Is it part of your destiny
He's standing next to me
I cannot breath
When will i have the guts to leave?

Chorus
Runaway
From all that is sacred
Escaping the shadows over me
Run away
You'll never make it
It's al that a child believes

I don't remember when i felt warm
I was never quite good enough
I only wanted the simple things
Like being told you were loved
He's still supporing me but where's the faith
Looking in his eyes i sense his hate

Repeat chorus

I never cry for sadness
I cut off from the pain
I won't forget your madness
But i'll forgive you anyway
But i'll forgive you anyway
He's standing next to me
I cannot breath
When will i have the quts to leave. repeat chorus

From the album Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death

Some clown in sacramento was dragged into court
He shot his lawnmower
It disobeyed, it wouldn't start
Might makes right, it's the american way®
They fined him $60 and sent him on his way

You know, some people don't take no shit
Maybe if they did they'd have half a brain left

From the album Les Plus Grands Succès De Celine Dion

Un enfant
Ça vous décroche un rêve
Ça le porte à ses lèvres
Et ça part en chantant


A child
It unhooks you a dream
It brings it to your lips
And it leaves singing
Un enfant
Avec un peu de chance
Ça entend le silence
Et ça pleure des diamants
Et ça rit
À n'en savoir que faire
Et ça pleure
En nous voyant pleurer
Ça s'endort
De l'or sous les paupières
Et ça dort
Pour mieux nous faire rêver


A child
With a bit of chance
It hears the silence
And it cries diamonds
And it laughs
To not know what to do with it
And it cries
Seeing us cry
It fells asleep
With gold on the eyelids
And it sleeps
To help us dream
Un enfant
Ça écoute le merle
Qui dépose ses perles
Sur la portée du vent
Un enfant
C'est le dernier poète
D'un monde qui s'entête
À vouloir devenir grand
Et ça demande
Si les nuages ont des ailes
Ça s'inquiète
D'une neige tombée
Et ça s'endort
De l'or sous les paupières
Et ça se doute
Qu'il n'y a plus de fée


A child
It listens to the blackbird
That puts its pearls
On the stave of the wind
A child
It's the last poet
Of a world that persists
In wanting becoming big
And it asks
If clouds have wings
It worries
Of a snow fallen
And it fells asleep
With gold on the eyelids
And it guesses
That there ain't fairies anymore
Mais un enfant
Et nous fuyons l'enfance
Un enfant
Et nous voilà passant
Un enfant
Et nous voilà patience
Un enfant
Et nous voilà passés


But a child
And we run from the childhood
A child
And we become passer-by
A child
And we become patience
A child
And we are past

From the album The Very Best of Sheryl Crow

Ten years living in a paper bag
Feedback baby, he's a flipped out cat
He's a platinum canary, drinkin' falstaff beer
Mercedes rule, and a rented lear
Bottom feeder insincere
Prophet lo-fi pioneer
Sell the house and go to school
Get a young girlfriend, daddy's jewel

A change would do you good
A change would do you good

God's little gift is on the rag
Poster girl posing in a fashion mag
Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde
Wear your fake fur on the inside
Queen of south beach, aging blues
Dinner's at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singing your heart out to me
Your lips were syncing and now I see

A change would do you good
A change would do you good

Chasing dragons with plastic swords
Jack off Jimmy, everybody wants more
Scully and angel on the kitchen floor
And I'm calling Buddy on the ouija board
I've been thinking 'bout catching a train
Leave my phone machine by the radar range
Hello it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone

A change would do you good
A change would do you good
Hello, it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone

A change would do you good
A change would do you good

- Album: Unknown
- Singer: Dream Theater


From the album unknown

- (original live version - from the "subconscious" cd)
[recorded live at the limelight, ny, march 4, 1993, with james labrie on ]
[vocals. this is the version of this song from the infamous "dance of ]
[eternity" bootleg recording. ]
- mike portnoy

I remember a time [01:43]
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depths of winter's snow

Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life to see
Yet i knew there must be more

But those days are gone now [02:40]
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And i know where i stand
All of my childhood memories
Left lying in the sand

In my den of inequity [03:22]
Viciousness and delicacy
Struggled to find the sane
Struggled to ease the pain
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
Now i know that there is more
The warmth is gone
But the chill forever here

I'll always remember [04:18]
The chill of november
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall, ticking away
"seize the day"
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way.
Look around, and hear the sound
Another time like this can't be found.

We can learn from the past [05:13]
But those days are gone

In my frail, virgin mind [05:38]
Words have lost my way
I have to seize the day
To home i returned

Preparing for her flight [06:12]
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'i love you... good-bye.'

Please don't go [06:50]

[instrumental section]

So far so few between [09:56]
My eyes filled full
With desire fulfilled
All my dreams came true
All the world,
And all of you
Everyday there's a constant reminder
Of all the pleasures we shared together
Love is not just a passing word
It's a state of heart that goes on forever

I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
The love there will never come away
Deep in sorrow, wandering faraway

I stood outside in the rain for us [11:09]
I tried to work out all of the pain for us
I sat alone and took the blame for us
My mind has torn and gone insane for us

Innocent sinner [11:34]
Repeat offender
Promiscuous promiser
A faith lender
Indecisive decisions
Torn with heartless divisions
Watering all my visions of love

Of all the world, i give to you [12:48]
All of the world,
All the world, i give to you
All of the world

[instrumental section]

I'm much wiser now [17:13]
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
Memories they taught me
For better or worse, alive or dead
I realize, there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track

I sit down with my son [17:53]
Can't you see the crimson sunset
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my day is done
Looking into the sun he said
'don't go, don't go,
Please don't go, now.
Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go.'

I. the crimson sunrise
(instrumental)

Ii. innocence
I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still i longed to search for more
But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
With the last of my might
In my den of inequity
Viciousness and subtlety
Struggle to ease the pain
Struggle to find the sane
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near....

Iii. carpe diem
'carpe diem, seize the day'
I'll always remember
The chill of november
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
'seize the day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around

"gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
Alive from what i've learned
I have to seize the day
To home i returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'i love you...good-bye'

"it's the most awful thing you'll
Ever hear."
"if you're lying to me..."
"oh, you dearly love her."
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"seize the day!"
"something happened.
"gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"she was killed."

Iv. the darkest of winters
(instrumental)

V. another world
So far or so it seems
All is lost with nothing fulfilled
Off the pages and the t.v. screen
Another world where nothing's true
Tripping through the life fantastic
Lose a step and never get up
Left alone with a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Then string him up for all the world to see
I'm sick of all you hypocrites
Holding me at bay
And i don't need your sympathy
To get me through the day
Seasons change and so can i
Hold on boy, no time to cry
Untie these strings, i'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Now it's time for them to deal with me

Vi. the inevitable summer
(instrumental)

Vii. the crimson sunset
I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
They taught me how
For better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the crimson sunset
(gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
'seize the day and don't you cry,
Now it's time to say good-bye
Even though i'll be gone,
I will live on, live on.'

From the album Long After Dark

Well i fought for you
I fought too hard
To do it all again babe,
Its gone to far
You never needed me
You only wanted me around
It gets me down

There's been a change,
Yeah there's been a change of heart
Said there's been a change
You push just a little too far
Made it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart

I'll get over you
It won't take long
I've stood in your gallery
Seen what's hangin' from the wall

You were the moon and sun,
You're just a loaded gun now
It gets me down

There's been a change,
Yeah there's been a change of heart
Said there's been a change
You push just a little too far
You make it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart

Whoa yeah, oh boy
Looks like we finally reachedthe turning point
Oh me, oh my
Looks like its time for me to kiss it good-bye,
Yeah kiss it good-bye

There's been a change,
Yeah there's been a ch ange of heart
Said there's been a change
You push just a little too far
You make it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart

Ice starts meltin' 33 degrees
(a change is gonna cum)
Little girl thinkin' 'bout the birds and bees
(a change is gonna cum)
Man grows up goes down on his knees
(a change is gonna cum)
Here it comes!
Every new beginning is a delicate time
But just like when the end comes it's never very pretty
And every in-between time looks like a perfect picture
It seems to last forever
Because it's standing still
But oh baby
(a change is gonna cum)
Not just maybe
(a change is gonna cum)
Ozone layer starts to disappear
(a change is gonna cum)
Spaceman makes it with an alien girl
(a change is gonna cum)
Scientists prove we were never here!
(a change is gonna cum)
Here it comes!
But oh mama
(a change is gonna cum)

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and like that river i've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

It's been too hard living and i'm affraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

I go to the movies and i go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me "don't hang around"
It's been a long, a long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

Then i go to my brother
And i say "brother, please"
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees

Sometimes i thought i wouldn't last for long
But now i think i'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

Prophet lo-fi pioneer
Sell the house and go to school
Get a young girlfriend, daddy's jewel

Dinner's at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singing your heart out to me
Your lips were syncing and now i see

A change would do you good
A change would do you good

Chasing dragons with plastic swords
Jack off jimmy, everybody wants more
Scully and angel on the kitchen floor
And i'm calling buddy on the ouija board

- Ca sĩ / Ban nhạc: Wu Tang Clan


From the album Wu-tang Forever

[inspectah deck]
Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down
For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it

Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
In this new world the order slaughter men, women, and children
Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet
Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble
Vivid thoughts, devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars
I know the pain the game bring, i did the same thing
Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting
It's hard to keep control, i bless those who seek a scroll
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
Not a role model, i walk a hard role to follow
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
Their life and times, deadly like the virus design
But too, minute to dilute, the science is mine

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[masta killa]
A voice cries from the wilderness of the north
A representation of the families that lost one
All victims of incarceration
Or other divisions of the family structure
Youths are injected with serums that leads
To skin irritations, babies being born with
Disfigurations, experimentations
On their faces there bear world relations
Of mothers that carry the pain
Of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail
Fifth brothers been slain from hails of gun fire
It lightly begins to rain screams of terror
Are hidden by the passing trains
This can't be little shane, his uncle cried
As he drops to his nephew's side, holding his cane
Just give me a name, of who has inflicted this
Bitter sickness, and left us to witness

[u-god]
Yeah, yo
Curses from war, innocent blood spills for days
Soothe in godly ways, hands, solemn in praise
Tree of life, more precious than wu is golden game
The wise self flourish inherit, halls of fame
Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison
While we die hard living people whine about religion, vision
Blow, spin, and sin and killing what's revealing
It's a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen
Zero process, progress, become the hunted
America's most wanted, good life flaunted, want it
Some love the speed, some satisfy a need
Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle breed
The stronger speed, someone die, someone bleed
One flew astray, and then caught my little seed
Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me grab the knife
The righteous man would be within these stripes pipes
Take in my energy, breath and know the rest
Cause the good die young and the hard die best

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[rza]
Y'all bitches love dances, and pulling down your pants
While your man's on tour, your spending up his advances
Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink, smoke, and suck dick
The whole projects is trapped in stench
You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop-outs
Fifteen years old, shorty ass and top out
Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking
Fucking so much your ass and titties start shrinking
New world order slave trade, minimum wage, medicaid
Can a devil fool a muslim nowadays
Inside my lab, i'm going mad
Took two drags off the blunts, and started breaking down the flag
The blue is for the crips, the red is for the bloods
The whites for the cops, and the stars come from the clubs
Or the slugs that ignites, through the night, by the dawn
Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe

[method man]
As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home
Mama say, take your time young man and build your own
Don't wind up like your old dad
Still searching for them glory days he never had
So many bad want to scheme for american dream, no more kings
The cash rule everything now, we going down
These babies looking up to us, it's up to us
The million man march mc's, get on the bus
But envy, greed, lust, and hate, separate
Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot relate
No longer, brothers, we unstable
Like kane when he slew abel, killing each other

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

From the album Wu-Tang Forever (Disc One)

[Inspectah Deck]
Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down
For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it

Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
In this New World the Order slaughter men, women, and children
Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet
Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble
Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars
I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing
Spaced out in the staircas e, performing a sting
It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
Not a role model, I walk a hard road to follow
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
their life and times, deadly like the virus design
but too, minute to dilute, the scientist mind

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[Masta Killa]
A voice cries from the wilderness of the North
A representation of the families that lost one
all victims of incarceration
Or other divisions of the family structure
Youths are injected with serums that leads
to skin irritations, babies being born with
disfigurations, experimentations
On their faces there bear world relations
of mothers that carry the pain
of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail
Fifth brothers been slain from hails of gun fire
It lightly begins to rain screams of terror
are hidden by the passing trains
This can't be little Hussein, his uncle cried
As he drops to his nephew's side, holding his cane
Just give me a name, of who has inflicted this
bitter sickness, and left us to witness

[U-God]
Yeah, yo
Curses from war, innocent blood spills for days
Soothe in godly ways, hands, solemn in praise
Tree of life, more precious than Wu is golden game
The wise self flourish inherit, Halls of Fame
Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison
While we die hard living people whine about religion, vision
Blow, spin, and sin and killing what's revealing
It's a never ending battle with n o ending or beginning, listen
Zero process, progress, become the hunted
America's most wanted, good life flaunted, want it
Some love the speed, some satisfy a need
Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle breed
The strong must feed, someone die, someone bleed
One flew astray, and then caught my little seed
Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me grab the knife
The righteous man would be within these stripes pipes
Take in my energy, breath and know the rest
Cause the good die young and the hard die best

You can't party your life away
Drink your life away
Smoke your life away
Fuck your life away
Dream your life away
Scheme your life away
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

[RZA]
Y'all bitches love dances, and pulling down your pants
while your man's on tour, your spendi ng up his advances
Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink, smoke, and suck dick
The whole projects is trapped in stench
You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop-outs
Fifteen years old, shorty ass and top out
Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking
Fucking so much your ass and titties start shrinking
New World Order slave trade, minimum wage, Medicaid
Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays
Inside my lab, I'm going mad
Took two drags off the blunts, and started breaking down the flag
The blue is for the Crips, the red is for the Bloods
The whites for the cops, and the stars come from the clubs
or the slugs that ignites, through the night, by the dawn
Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe

[Method Man]
As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home
Mama say, take your time young man and build your own
Don't wind up like your old dad
Still se arching for them glory days he never had
So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings

From the album Coat Of Many Colors

There's a bit of magic in a simple little smile
Something that just makes life seem a little more worthwhile
And there's a world of meaning in the touch of someone's hand
A gentle touch that let's your brother know you understand
Oh if people would stop taking and just once try to give
We could make the world we're living in a better place to live
La la la la la la la la la la la la

And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults
We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony
Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me

La la la la la la la la la la la la

All life has to offer that's what most folks desire
But offer nothing in return, cause they don't seem to care
And if we'd ask to be forgiven and be willing to forgive
We could make the world we're living in a better place to live
And if we'd all climb together, we could climb the highest hill
We could make the world we're living in a better place to live

And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults
We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony
Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me

La la la la la la la la la la la la

From the album Ian Anderson: The Secret Language Of Birds

I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue.
Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lamp
Down to the river.
Tonight flies a better moon.

Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows;
A splash revealing the fly-catching fishes.
Dark gods silently watching.
Tonight flies a better moon.

I guess you've known lovers here, compliant in passion;
Softly laid in the old reed bed, harshly
Lit in the noon sun.
Tonight flies a better moon.

Now cloaked in this milky light, new as the virgin dawn,
Shrouded sweetly in all kinds of mystery,
You turn, smile and then are gone.
Tonight flies a better moon.

What do you say when it's over?
I don't know if i should say anything at all
One day we're rollin' in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall
Still, i think about the years since i first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And i don't know if words from me can still upset you
But i've just gotta make this memory stand clear
I know i'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things i couldn't do before, now i think i can
And i'm leavin here a better man
I guess i always knew i couldn't hold you
But i'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be
Repeat chorus
Still, i'm leavin' here a better man...
Repeat chorus

Verse 1
Hello
Hello it's me again
You're still not home
Cause if you were
It's after 4 a.m.
I wouldn't be here alone
See, God give me the strength
And the
Courage I need
When my heart aches for you
I have to let it be

Chorus:
But it's OK
I Understand…
You've got to leave
I won't cry no more
Baby what for?
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be, a better man for me, yeah
There's got to be, a better man for me

Verse 2
Hell no
Oh no not this again
I'll be counting down
Your bags are packed
And they're at the door
I've got to get used to not having you around
God gave me the strength
And the
Courage I need
To move forward with my life
I have to let it be…

Chorus:
But it's OK
I Understand…
You've got to leave
I won't cry no more
Baby what for?
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be
Got to be
A better man
A better man
For me
There's got to be, a better man for me

Got to be a better man
Oooh, darlin'
Hear me now
God give me the strength
And the
Courage I need
Cause I know now, baby
There's got to be a better man for me

You've got to leave
Oooh yeah
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be
Got to be a better plan
A better man for me, baby
One more time, yeah, ya'll
There's got to be, a better man for me

See I'm tired of your lying
And I'm tired of trying
You've got to leave
I don't cry no more
Baby what for?
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be, a better plan for me.
Somewhere out there, baby
There's got to be, a better man for me

Oooh
Yeah
Got to be a better man

From the album unknown

Hush little baby, don't you cry
Oh-oh, don't you cry
Maybe tomorrow's, a better life
Oh-oh, if you try

Rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
But if you lose your mind
Weatherman, in his overcoat

Look up in the sky now, the weatherman cry now
Oh-oh, the window pane
Damp in the valley, up in the alley
Oh-oh, it's pouring rain

Rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
So let your mind roll on
Weatherman, dry's the lonely tears

Early in the morning, while the sun's still yawning
Oh-oh, smiles on you
Maybe today is, a better life
Oh-oh, if we try

Sun is shining all around
It warms your heart and melts the cloud
But if your mind can see
Weatherman, smiles a lonely smile

A better lie? don't even try.

Is that the best that you can do?
'cause i don't believe you.

Is that the best that you can do?
'cause you said it's something new.

"come on."

And if i could be bothered i would think of a better lie,
(but i don't like you enough to even try).

From the album Completley

He hung the moon
Raised the sun
Made the lions walk
And the rivers run
Then he sat down, looked around
And thought a bit
Said, "it's all good but that ain't quite it"
So with his mighty hand he created man
And then

Chorus
He had a better idea
A much better idea
He made an angel like sweet perfume
A heavenly smile, someone who
Can light up a room with a heart so true
I thank God he created me
But when I look at you I see
He had a better idea

Thought I'd have to face
This world alone
Just walk through life
Without a hand to hold
And I accepted that
I said in fact it might be nice
To live my way
Now that's paradise
Be he knew all along
I was wrong

Repeat chorus (2x)

He had a better idea
God had a better idea

Please don't tear this world asunder
Please take back

Please make sure we get tomorrow
All this pain and all the sorrow

Or I might just stop needing you
I might just stop needing you
Give my children sunny smile
Give them moon and cloudless sky
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop loving you,
loving you, loving you
When we talk, we talk to you
When we walk, we walk to you
From factory to field
How many tears must fall
Down there below
Nothing is moving
Oo-o

I might just stop needing you
I might just stop loving you

From the album Timothy B.

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

Yesterday i walked a mean street
Looking for a long lost heart beat
Came upon a poor music man just singing

God brought it all together
How we used to play forever
I felt every song i've sung come ringing

You know it's been so long since i felt it in my soul
But from this day on my life is on a roll
If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

I came home and shared my feeling
You said there's a new world stealing
Open up and let the light just fill us

You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul
But from this day on our life is on a roll
If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

There's a world unseen though we know it very well
Where there's harmony that no one can buy and sell
When our voices rise in the innocence of song
Then a better day is coming

We held on through some awful years
We can wait 'til our day appears

You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul
But from this day on our life is on a roll
If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

And in this broken world where we have so much to grieve
We must try so hard to believe what we believe
If we keep a dream of how good it all can be
Then a better day is coming

You know it's been so long since i felt it in my soul
But from this day on my life is on a roll
If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

And in this world of grieving
We must try believing
If we keep our dreams
Then a better day is coming

A better day is coming
Brighter world is dawning
If we all stand up
