Hey TJ..

I Wouldn't Wanna be Like You
Alan Parsons Project

If I had a mind to
I wouldn't wanna think like you
And if I had a time to
I wouldn't wanna talk to you

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you
whoa, whoa, whoa

Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

Falling Off the Edge of the World
Black Sabbath

I think about closing the door
And lately I think of it more
I'm living well out of my time
I feel like I'm losing my mind
I should be at the table round
A servant of the crown
The keeper of the sign
To sparkle and to shine

Never, no never again
Listen to me and believe what I say if you can
Never, this is the end
You know I've seen the faces of doom
And I'm only a man

Help me
Tell me I'm sane
I feel a change in the earth and the wind
And the rain Save me
By turning away
You know, I've seen some visions of Hell
And I've heard what they say

I've got to be strong, oh, oh,
I'm falling off the edge of the world, mm
Think you're safe, but you're wrong
We are falling off the edge of the world

Look up in danger
Nowhere to run
Seems like desperate measures but sometimes
It's got to be done
Over, it's over at last
And the message inside is we feel the new life
From the past

We're falling off the edge of the world
Yes, the edge of the world
It's the end of the world

Fits Ya Good
Bryan Adams

Waitin' here
For the workin' day to end,
Five o'clock and those walls
just movin' closer
But you don't know like I know better
Did all that I could
Now fits ya good,
It fits ya good,
Fits ya good
Fits you good

Was a time
You were bringin' me down,
But I know
It's just the way you look at life,
But you don't know like I know, baby,
I did all that I could,
Now fits ya good,
Yeah it fits ya good,
Fits ya good
Fits ya good

'Cause you don't know, oh no,
I did all that I could,
Now fits ya good,
Fits ya good,
It fits ya good
Fits ya good.

Fits you good

Flake
Jack Johnson

I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying

It seems to me that maybe,
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go

The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me by

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

Just Like You
3 Days Grace

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you

I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

On my own, cause I can't take living with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you
Want me to

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

Killing Yourself to Live
Black Sabbath

Well people look and people stare
Well I don't think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live

Just take a look around you what do you see
Pain, suffering and misery
It's not the way that the world was meant
It's a pity you don't understand
Killing yourself to live

I'm telling you
Believe in me
Nobody else will tell you
Open your eyes
And see the lies, oh yeah

You think I'm crazy and baby
I know that it's true
Before that you know it I think
That you'll go crazy too

I don't know if I'm up or down
Whether black is white or blue is brown
The colors of my life are all different somehow
Little boy blue's a big girl now

So you think it's me who's strange
But you've never had to make the change
Never give your trust away
You'll end up paying till your dying day

Shadow on the Sun
Audioslave

Once upon a time, I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
Leave you where you stood
You'd believed I could
You'd seen it done before

I could read your thoughts
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 a 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

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

Take me Away
Blue Oyster Cult

​

Strange shapes light up the night
I've never seen 'em though I hope I might
Don't ask if they are real
The men in black, their lips are sealed

Fantasy fills my mind
To leave this place before my time
Release myself from earthly care
My dream may be your nightmare

I turn my hopes up to the sky
I'd like to know before I die
Memories will slowly fade
I lift my eyes and say
Come on take me away
Come on take me away

Come here girl close to me
A thousand stars your eyes can see
First one we see tonight
I wish I may I wish I might

I lift my eyes and say
Come on take me away

Don't Misunderstand Me
Rossington Collins Band

Oh well I know where you're goin'
I see where you've been
Don't you know by now
you never take life on the chin?
Still you sit and wonder
why the past is gone
Baby, you'll go under
if you don't carry on

Don't misunderstand me
I realize it ain't easy to take
But you've been hidin'
and I've been ridin' like
the wind to find you, hey

Just you

I don't need no promises
just tell me the truth
Mister, keep it honest
that's all I ask of you
Don't be second-guessin'
'bout where you want to be
Baby count your blessings
'cause you won't find one like me

Don't misunderstand me
I realize it ain't easy to take
But you've been hidin'
And I've been ridin' like
the wind to find you

Well now lady put your dress on
grab them fancy shoes
Honey I'm ready and waiting on you
Time is surely wastin'
we've so much to do
We're both too smart to be fakin'

And I know it doesn't
matter which road we take
Or if it's your way or my way
Well lady let me tell you
what we're gonna do (uh huh)
We're gonna ride every highway

Don't misunderstand me
Babe I realize it ain't easy to take
But you've been hidin'
And I've been ridin' like
the wind to find you
To find you

To find you
To find you
To find you

The Year of the Cat - Al Stewart


On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came

In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through

The year of the cat

Why she looks at you so coolly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside

The year of the cat

Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on

But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the newborn day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay

In the year of the cat

 

New Years Day
U2

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again

Oh...
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight...

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

Happy New Year Y'all

Undun
The Guess Who

She's come undone
She didn't know
what she was headed for
And when I found
what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undone
She found a mountain
that was far too high
And when she found out
she couldn't fly
It was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone
She wanted truth
but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She's come undone
She didn't know
what she was headed for
And when I found
what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

Too many mountains
and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches
and not enough truth
Too many people
and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives
to lead and not enough time

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone
She didn't know
what she was headed for
And when I found
what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undone
She found a mountain
that was far too high
And when she found out
she couldn't fly
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

Rain When I Die
Alice in Chains

Is she ready to know my frustration?
What she slippin' inside, slow castration
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
Did she come here to try, try to take me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

Was it something I said, held against me?
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can help her but won't, now she hates me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry

Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me
Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me
Could she love me again, or will she hate me
Probably not, I know why, can't explain me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

Don't Dream it's over
Crowded House

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Well, don't let them win
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win
Don't let them win, yeah

The World I know
Collective Soul

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why.

Are we listening?
Hymns of offering.
Have we eyes to see?
Love is gathering.
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.

Sara - Fleetwood Mac


Wait a minute baby,
Stay with me awhile...
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire

Drownin', in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for
So when you build your house, then call me home

And it was just like a great dark wind
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match
He was singin'
And undoing and undoing
Oooooooo, the laces, undoing the laces.

He said "Sara, you're the poet in my heart,
Never change, never stop..."
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for,
But when you build your house, then call me home

Hold on, the night is comin'
And the starling flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time,
I go anywhere - anywhere - anyway...

Ask me and I'm there, yeah,
Ask me and I'm there, 'cause I care
In the sea of love, where every woman would love to drown
But now it's gone, they say it doesn't matter anymore
If you build your house, then please call me home

He said Sara, you're the poet in my heart,
Never change, and dont you ever stop...
But now it's gone; no, it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house, Ill come by

 

Little Wing
Jimi

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

YONI

FATE OF THE UNION
American life is changing direction
Just like the song that Dylan wrote
Who are we now as a people?
Time for a census of the soul

Look all around, what have you noticed?
Political talk is trendy again
Citizen Joe is learning the world beyond the oceans
Now is the call for rock and roll songs about more then sex and drugs

We should become the ones who say no to wastin' away
A generation that will be known for all they saved
No more watching others be
Time to live our own reality
We should be the ones who say no

Have you thought about tomorrow and all the many ways it could come?
What of those who believe that our fall has already begun?
All our days spent gazing at celebrity skin
It always begins from within

We should become the ones who say no to wastin' away
A generation that will be known for all they saved
No more watching others be
Time to live our own reality
We should be the ones who say no
Let us be the ones who say no

Take a look at all the roads to Rome
No one ever thought they'd be gone

But now we're standing at the crossroads of our own
And how do we overcome the fate of Rome before?
Let us ride the winds of change, let it fall on us to behave

No more watching others be
Time to live our own reality
We should be the ones who say no

No more watching others be
Time to live our own reality
We should be the ones who say no
Let us be the ones who say no
We will be the ones who say no

 

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 caf here 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 now won't cha settle down
Boston ain't your kinda 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 till they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said "no, Boy, would you come home to me"


And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down
Denver ain't your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"


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 lean 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"
And she said, "hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down
LA can't be your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"


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