    Save me from this prison
    Lord help me get away
    Cause only you can save me now
    From this misery
    I've been lost in my own place
    And I'm gettin' weary
    How far is heaven
    And I know that I need to change
    My ways of livin'
    How far is heaven,
    Lord can you tell me

    I've been locked up way too long
    In this crazy world,
    How far is heaven
    And I just keep on prayin' Lord
    And just keep on livin',
    How far is heaven
    Yeah, Lord can you tell me,
    How far is heaven
    I just gotta know how far is,
    How far is heaven
    Yeah, Lord can you tell me

    Tu que estas en alto cielo,
    Echame tu bendiciòn
    [translated from Spanish]
    [You that are in at higher heaven
    throw me down your blessing]

    I know there's a better place
    Than this place I'm livin',
    How far is heaven
    And I just got to have some faith
    And just keep on givin',
    How far is heaven
    Yeah, Lord can you tell me,
    How far is heaven
    I just gotta know how far is,
    How far is heaven,
    Yeah, Lord can you tell me,
    How far is heaven,
    I just gotta know how far,
    I just wanna know how far

    Stairway to Heaven
    Led Zep
    There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
    And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
    When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
    With a word she can get what she came for.
    Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

    There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
    'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
    In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
    Ooh, it makes me wonder,
    Ooh, it makes me wonder.

    There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
    And my spirit is crying for leaving.
    In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
    And the voices of those who stand looking.
    Ooh, it makes me wonder,
    Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

    And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
    Then the piper will lead us to reason.
    And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
    And the forests will echo with laughter.

    If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
    It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
    Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
    There's still time to change the road you're on.
    And it makes me wonder.

    Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
    The piper's calling you to join him,
    Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul.
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold.
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last.
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll.

    And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

    Heaven Help
    Lenny Kravitz

    There comes a time to be free of the heart
    I wanna be ready, ready to start
    On a love journey, got places to go
    Made up my mind and I have got to let you know

    Heaven help the heart that lets me inside
    Heaven help the one who comes in my life
    Heaven help the fool that walks through my door
    'Cause I decided right now, I'm ready for love
    Oh, I'm ready for love

    A funny feeling's coming over me
    Now I'm inspired and open to being
    In a love place but it's out of my hands
    I'm telling you baby that you've got to understand

    Heaven help the heart that lets me inside
    Heaven help the one who comes in my life
    Heaven help the fool that walks through my door
    'Cause I decided right now, I'm ready for love
    Ready for love

    I can't see what's out there for me
    And I know love offers no guarantee
    I'll take a chance and I'm telling you something babe
    I got to let you know

    Heaven help the heart that lets me inside
    Heaven help the one who comes in my life
    Heaven help the fool that walks through my door
    'Cause I decided right now, I'm ready for love
    Ah, oh, oh, ready for love (oh)
    Take a chance, take a chance on love (the heart)
    Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah (the fool)

    Only Women Bleed
    Alice Cooper
    Man's got his woman to take his seed
    He's got the power - oh
    She's got the need
    She spends her life through pleasing up her man
    She feeds him dinner or anything she can

    She cries alone at night too often
    He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed

    Man makes your hair gray
    He's your life's mistake
    All you're really lookin' for is an even break

    He lies right at you
    You know you hate this game
    He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain

    She cries alone at night too often
    He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed


    Black eyes all of the time
    Don't spend a dime
    Clean up this grime
    And you there down on your knees begging me please come
    Watch me bleed

    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed
    Only women bleed

    Please come to Boston - Dave Loggins


    Please come to Boston for the springtime
    I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
    You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
    By a café where I hope to be workin' soon
    Please come to Boston
    She said no, would you come home to me

    and she said, hey ramblin' boy, why don't you settle down
    Boston ain't your kind of town
    There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
    I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

    Please come to Denver with the snowfall
    We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
    And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
    And then lie awake at night til they come back around
    Please come to Denver
    She said no, boy, would you come home to me

    Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
    And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
    But of all the dreams I've lost or found
    And all that I ain't got
    I still need to cling to
    Somebody I can sing to

    Please come to LA to live forever
    California life alone is just too hard to build
    I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
    And there's some stars that fell from the sky
    Livin' up on the hill
    Please come to LA
    She just said no, boy, won't you come home to me

    I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

    Saturday Night Special Lyrics
    Artist(Band):Lynyrd Skynyrd



    Two feets they come a creepin'
    Like a black cat do
    And two bodies are layin' naked
    Creeper think he got nothin' to lose
    So he creeps into this house, yeah
    And unlocks the door
    And as a man's reaching for his trousers
    Shoots him full of .38 holes

    (Chorus)
    Mr.Saturday night special
    Got a barrel that's blue and cold
    Ain't no good for nothin'
    But put a man six feet in a hole

    Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey
    And playing poker on a losin' night
    And pretty soon, Big Jim starts a thinkin'
    Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
    So Big Jim commences to fightin'
    I wouldn't tell you no lie
    And Big Jim done pull his pistol
    Shot his friend right between the eyes

    (Chorus)

    [media]

    Oooh Saturday night special...
    For twenty dollars you can buy yourself one too...

    Oooh let me tell you all about it...

    Well hand guns are made for killin'
    They ain't no good for nothin' else
    And if you like to drink your whiskey
    You might even shoot yourself
    So why don't we dump 'em people
    To the bottom of the sea
    Before some ole fool come around here
    Wanna shoot either you or me

    (Chorus)

    Ooooh it's a Saturday night special
    And I'd like to tell you what you can do with it too...

    Die Young
    Black Sabbath

    Gather the wind
    Though the wind won't help you fly at all
    Your back's to the wall
    Then chain the sun
    And then it turns around and face you
    As you run, you run, you run!

    Behind a smile
    There's danger and a promise to be told
    You'll never get old
    Life's fantasy
    To be locked away and still to think you're free
    You're free
    You're free!

    So live for today
    Tomorrow never comes
    Die young, die young
    Can't you see the writing in the air?
    Die young, gonna die young
    Someone stopped the fair

    Gather the wind
    Though the wind won't help you fly at all
    Your back's to the wall
    Then chain the sun
    And then it turns around and face you
    As you run, you run, you run!

    So live for today
    Tomorrow never comes
    Die young, young
    Die young, die young
    Die young, die young, young
    Die young

    Tomorrow
    Silverchair

    It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day,
    I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway,
    Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town,
    The only way to get there's to go straight down,
    There's no bathroom, and there is no sink,
    The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink,
    Very hard to drink,

    You, wait till tomorrow,
    You, wait till tomorrow,


    You say that money, isn't everything,
    But I'd like to see you live without it,
    You think you can keep on going living like a king,
    Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it,

    Very hard to drink,
    Very hard to drink,
    You gonna wait too, fat boy,
    Fat boy, wait till tomorrow,
    You gonna wait too, fat boy,
    Fat boy, wait till tomorrow,

    You, wait till tomorrow,
    You, wait till tomorrow... comes,
    You gonna wait too, fat boy,
    Fat boy, wait till tomorrow,
    You gonna wait too, fat boy,

    hahahaha.. I like the song..

    Here's what Daniel John from the band said it's about in an interview with Aquarian Weekly back in 1996.. Kinda cool from a group of 15 year old Australians at that time..

    AW:What was the inspiration behind Tomorrow?


    DJ:That was on a TV show. There was this poor guy taking a rich guy through a hotel to experience the losses of the less fortunate than him. The rich guy is just complaining because he just wants to get out and the poor guy is saying you have to wait till tomorrow to get out. That's one of our least serious songs but it still has meaning to it.

    Catch the Rainbow
    Rainbow

    When evening falls
    She'll run to me
    Like whispered dreams
    Your eyes can't see
    Soft and warm
    She'll touch my face
    A bed of straw
    Against the lace

    We believed we'd catch the rainbow
    Ride the wind to the sun
    Sail away on ships of wonder
    But life's not a wheel
    With chains made of steel
    So bless me come the dawn
    Come the dawn

    Shame on the night
    For places I've been
    And what I've seen
    For giving me the strangest dreams
    But you never really know just what they mean
    So oh shame on the night

    Shame on you
    You've stolen the day
    Snatched it away
    But I saw the sky
    An I never want to die
    Now you know the reason why
    Oh shame on the night

    You don't care what you've done
    So I think I'd better run

    Shame on the sun
    For the light you sold
    I've lost my hold
    On the magic flame
    But now I know your name
    Oh lord just go the way you came again
    Oh shame on the night

    You don't care what you've done
    So I know I'd better run

    Shame on the night
    For places I've been
    And what I've seen
    For giving me the strangest dreams

    Once upon a time
    I was of the mind
    To lay your burden down
    Leave you where you stood
    You believed I could
    You'd seen it done before
    I could read your thoughts
    And tell you what you saw
    And never say a word
    But now all that is gone
    Over with and done
    Never to return

    And I can tell you why
    people die alone
    I can tell you I'm
    A shadow on the sun

    Staring at the loss
    Looking for the cause
    And never really sure
    Nothing but a hole
    To live without a soul
    And nothing to be learned

    And I can tell you why
    People go insane
    I can show you how
    You could do the same
    I can tell you why
    The end will never come
    I can tell you I'm
    A shadow on the sun

    Shapes of every size
    Move behind my eyes
    Doors inside my head
    Bolted from within
    Every drop of flame
    Lights a candle in
    Memory of the one
    Who lived inside my skin

    I can tell you why
    People go insane
    I can show you how
    You could do the same
    I can tell you why
    The end will never come
    I can tell you I'm

    Strange Dreams
    Frank Marino
    Alone at night in the shadows of my room

    I drift inside of a magical view
    Strange dreams, invade my sleep at night
    Strange dreams, they make me feel all right
    The place I've seen, well you have to understand
    It waits for me, come and meet me if you can
    Strange dreams, invade my sleep at night
    Strange dreams they make me feel all right
    Oh, seems like a million fantasies
    Oh, how can I sing the words to tell you all ...
    Strange dreams, invade my sleep at night
    Strange dreams, they make me feel all right
    The dreams of life they belong to you and me
    They show us why we can live in harmony

    Strange dreams, they make me feel all right

    Audioslave

    I met a man locked away
    for things he hadn't done
    innocence on a ball and chain
    he'll never feel the sun
    Again on his face or roses
    in his hands but when he smiled
    at me i could understand

    if you're free you'll never see the walls
    if your head is clear you'll never freefall
    if you're right you never fear the wrong
    if your head is high you never fear at all

    there was a daughter of a man
    who took his life too young
    she swore she'd never do the same
    and did just what he'd done
    and a boy whose gone insane
    heard voices in his head
    no one knows what they say
    now his mothers dead

    if you're free you'll never see the walls
    if your head is clear you'll never freefall
    if you're right you never fear the wrong
    if your head is high you never fear at all

    there was a man who had a face
    it looked alot like me
    i saw him in the mirror and i fought him in the street
    then when he turned away i shot him in the head
    then i came to realize i had killed myself

    if you're free you'll never see the walls
    if your head is clear you'll never freefall
    if you're right you never fear the wrong
    if your head is high you never fear

    Of a Lifetime
    Journey
    The mist is slowly lifting
    The sound of life misplaced your mind
    You're sitting, spellbound thru out time
    I hope that you remember what you find
    Singin' more of a lifetime
    You put it down-all that I'm thinking
    but take a long and distant search, when all is right
    you take for granted
    You can't look down but you're no worse.
    Singin' more of a lifetime
    The countless visions that are drifting
    The silver dreams you hate to lose.
    There's no harm.
    We've all been waiting.
    well keep your faith.
    Do what you choose.
    Singin' more of a lifetime

    There was a time early in life
    When I hated everything
    Born too young, top of my lungs
    Sitting on the bottom rung
    Took advice from the wrong shoulder
    Took a lot of everything
    I've decided to make it alright with my

    Halo--I'm complete
    Halo--with me underneath
    Halo--I'm reborn
    I can do no wrong

    Black and blue, suffering fools
    By the age of seventeen
    Low and high, just one more time
    Felt like an eternity
    Right or wrong, never too strong
    Friends became my enemies
    God forsaken, but never too late with my

    Halo--I'm complete
    Halo--with me underneath
    Halo--I'm reborn
    I can do no wrong

    You'll never change
    you'll never change

    Halo--I'm complete
    Halo--with me underneath
    Halo--I'm reborn
    I can do no
    Halo--I'm complete
    Halo--with me underneath
    Halo--I'm reborn
    I can do no wrong
