The Logical Song ~ Supertramp


When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

I say: Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable,
respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
whoa (tick tick tick yeah)

But at night when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am

__________________
Though I am different from you,
We were born involved in one another.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

Ringing, stinging, jerking like a nervous bird
Rattling up against his cage
Calls to me throughout the day
See the feathers fly

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

Rhyming, chiming, got me working all the time
Gives me such a worried mind
?? to me to be unkind
But God, it's such a crime ?

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

Waking, shaking, waking me when I'm asleep
Never lets me go to be ?
?? just one beep
The price we pay is steep

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

I've been on fire, yet I still stay frozen
So deep in the night
My smooth conversations will always be broken
I won't ask, concerns will stay buried and unspoken
No I don't have any change, but here's a few subway tokens

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone

With a Little Luck
Paul McCartney and Wings

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, there is no end.
The wiliow 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, 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.
With a little luck.
With a Little luck, a little luck, a little luck.
(continuing to end).

Finger 11 - One Thing

Verse 1:
Restless tonight,
'Cause I wasted the light.
Between both these times,
I drew a really thin line.
It's nothing I planned,
And nothing I can.
But you should be mine,
Across that line.

Chorus:
If I traded it all,
If I gave it all away for one thing.
Just for one thing.
If I sorted it out,
If I knew all about this one thing,
Wouldn't that be something?

Verse 2:
I promise I might,
Not walk on by.
Maybe next time,
But not this time.
Even though I know,
I don't wanna know.
Yeah I guess I know,
I just hate how it sounds.

Chorus:
If I traded it all,
If I gave it all away for one thing.
Just for one thing.
If I sorted it out,
If I knew all about this one thing,
Wouldn't that be something?
(2x)

Even though I know,
I don't wanna know.
Yeah I guess I know,
I just hate how it sounds.
(2x)

Chorus:
If I traded it all,
If I gave it all away for one thing.
Just for one thing.
If I sorted it out,
If I knew all about this one thing,
Wouldn't that be something?
(3x)

"Everything Happens To Me"

~I love it when Chet Baker sings this one~

I make a date for golf
And you can bet your life it rains
I try to throw a party
And the guy upstairs complains
I guess I’ll go through life
Just catching colds and missin trains
Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing
I’ve had the measles and the mumps
Every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
I guess I’m just a fool
Who never looks
Before she jumps
Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought you
Could break this jinx for me
That love could turn the trick to indespair
But now I just can’t fool
This head that thinks for me
I’ve mortgaged all my castles in the air

I’ve telegraphed and phoned
I sent an airmail special too
Your answer was goodbye
There was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me

Tears For Fears - The Hurting

Is it an horrific dream
Am I sinking fast
Could a person be so mean
As to laugh and laugh
On my own
Could you ease my load
Could you see my Pain
Could you please explain
The Hurting
Could you understand a child
When he cries in Pain
Could you give him all he needs
Or do you feel the same
All along
You've been told you're wrong
When you felt it right
And you're left to fight
The Hurting
Get in line with the things you know
Feel the Pain
Feel the sorrow
Touch the hurt and don't let go
Get in line with the things you know
Learn to cry


Like a baby
Then the hurting won't come back

Tears For Fears - Shout

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are things I can do without
Come On
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Shout
They gave you life
And in return you gave them them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart

I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

Nights in white satin,
never reaching the end
Letters I've written,
never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed,
with these eyes before
Just what the truth is,
I can't say any more
Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you

Gazing at people,
some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through,
they can't understand
Some try to tell me,
thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be,
you'll be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you,
Oh how I love you...

And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you,
Oh how I love you

Rescue ~ Uncle Kracker


I stayed out late last night
But nothing I could drink
Could help me drink you off my mind
Everywhere I looked, I saw your face
And I wonder, and I wonder
If there still might be
A little space in your heart for me
'Cause I'm so cold, I'm so alone
And I miss you, babe

So won't you come to my rescue
Shake this pain from my soul
And take this fool back in your heart baby
I'll go crazy if you don't
'Cause I'm a mess here without you
Ain't no pill for this pain
So please, please come to my rescue baby
Make it right away

I was a fool to leave
Leave behind everything that meant everything to me
Every day and night my heart pays the price
And I'm out here, stranded out here
On this lonely road, I'm so lost won't you lead me home
I need you back, need one more chance
And I miss you, babe

So won't you come to my rescue
Shake this pain from my soul
And take this fool back in your heart baby
I'll go crazy if you don't
'Cause I'm a mess here without you
Ain't no pill for this pain
So please, please come to my rescue baby
Make it right away

I'm drowning baby
I need you to save me, yeah
Don't leave me like this
Throw me a line, baby one more time

Won't you come to my rescue
Shake this pain from my soul
And take this fool back in your heart baby
I'll go crazy if you don't
'Cause I'm a mess here without you
Ain't no pill for this pain
So please, please come to my rescue baby
Make it right away

Make it right away

These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Words and music by Queen

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Thing seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you

You can't turn back the clock you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives - yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find
I still love you

I still love you

"My Immortal" by Evanescence

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

Awesome song, but my singing does it little justice

Check out Longsword's Lair

swingin on a star~ sung by too many to name here but my personal fav: bruce willis and danny aiello in hudson hawk.

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?

A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He ain't got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?

A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
And to fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star

You're My Everything~ Anita Baker

I’ve got the sun in the morning
I’ve got the moon at night
I’ve got your arms around me, everything’s alright
Hold me real tight is how I’d like to spend
The, the rest of my life

Feel the warm breeze below me
Down through the trees, ahh

My heart and soul is wide open to you
Nobody but you sweet baby
Ahhh, but you

Got to know that I want you baby
Got to know that I need you darling
I just want to say you’re my everything
Back for all the songs that I sang of happiness and joy you bring
I just want to say you’re my everything

Want to hold you
How I adore you
You’ve got that special touch that I long for oh so much
Boy, I’m amazed at how you write our laughs

Ooohhhh I
Got to hold you near
Cause, I know that what you do
You bring out the best in me
My heart and soul is wide open darling
Nobody for you sweet darling
No one but you

Got to know that I want you baby
Got to know that I need you darling

Cause I depend on you to keep loving me
Yeah ohhhhh

Cause you baby
Ohhh, Ohhh, darling

Gary Allen ~The One~

No rush though I need your touch
I won't rush your heart
Until you feel on solid ground
Until your strength is found, girl

I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Somebody else was here before
He treated you unkind
And broken wings need time to heal
Before a heart can fly, girl

I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Trust in me and you'll find a heart so true
All I want to do is give the best of me to you
And stand beside you

Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"
