Free As A Bird
Free as a bird,
it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.
Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.

LITTLE BIRD
-Annie Lennox
I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
And cry, cry, cry
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here
But my, my I feel so low
My, my, where do I go?
My, my, what do I know?
My, my, we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test
For I am just a troubled soul
Who's weighted...
Weighted to the ground
Give me the strength to carry on
Till I can lay this burden down
Give me the strength to lay this burden down
Down, down, yeah
Give me the strength to lay it down
But my, my I feel so low
My, my, where do I go?
My, my, what do I know?
My, my, we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test
<center>"Little Miss Strange" -Hendrix
No one knows where she comes from
Maybe she's a devil in disguise
I can tell by looking in her eyes.
Little miss strange
Little miss strange.
Little miss strange came into my parlor
I don't know just what to ask her
I don't remember what we did after.
Little miss strange
Little miss strange.
Little miss strange came out of the darkness
Walked across my head, I stood beneath the light
I'm talkin' 'bout the dream I had the other night.
Little miss strange
Little miss strange

Little Dreamer
-Van Halen
They may talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold and baby didn't that
Change with a wink of your eye
Now no one's talkin' 'bout those
Crazy days gone by
No one talks about the
Times you cried
(Oooh) Little dreamer
(Oooh) Uh, little dreamer
And then they voted you
Least likely to succeed
I hadda tell them baby, you were armed with
All you'd need
Seems no one's talkin' 'bout those
Crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were
Really last

Crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were
Really last
(Oooh) You are the little dreamer
(Oooh) Little dreamer, oh yeah, oh
(Oooh) Little dreamer
(Oooh) Little dreamer

Def Leppard
Miss You In A Heartbeat
I believe that there's something deep inside
It shouldn't be from time to time
I sure found out, thought love was such a crime
The more you care, the more you fall
No need to worry, no need to turn away
'Cos it don't matter anyway
Ooh - I'd miss you in a heartbeat
Ooh - I'd miss you right away
Ooh - I'd miss you in a heartbeat
'Cos it ain't love if it don't feel that way
Oh no
When we touch, I just lose my self control
A sense sensation I can't hide
To love is easy, it ain't easy to walk away
I keep the faith and there's a reason why, yeah
No need to worry, no need to turn away
'Cos it don't matter anyway, baby
Ooh - I'd miss you in a heartbeat
Ooh - I'd miss you right away
Ooh - I'd miss you in a heartbeat
'Cos it ain't love if it don't feel that way
Now I ain't big on promises, but I'll be true to you
'Cos I'd do 'bout anything, for someone like
Yeah baby, for you
Ooh - I'd miss you in a heartbeat
Ooh - I'd miss you right away
Ooh - I'd miss you in a heartbeat
'Cos it ain't love if it don't feel that way
:loveya: :loveya:
<center>Miss You
-Rolling Stones
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you.
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! Come on!
I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won't miss you child
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child

Quote:I've been holding out so long
Peter Frampton
Holding On To You
I'll be there where the music goes
I'll be there singing
Working out my life where the feelings right
Well the years keep rolling on
But my heart is strong - I'm holding on
I won't be letting go
I just started to hold on harder to you
I won't be letting go
I just wanted you to know
I won't be letting go
I just wanted to hold on harder to you
All our songs come around again
And our world's ever turning
Somehow everyday there's another way
When my soul's in place
Every song will trace your smiling face
I won't be letting go
I just started to hold on harder to you
I won't be letting go
I just wanted you to know
I won't be letting go
I just wanted to hold on harder to you
All the music that I haven't made
Keeps my soul alive
Gotta make it
For only the song survives
I won't be letting go
I just started to hold on harder to you
I won't be letting go
I just wanted you to know
I won't be letting go
I just wanted to hold on harder to you
I'm holding on to you
Hollies
I Can't Let Go
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Feel so bad, baby Oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby
You got me going I need you, baby
I can't let go, and I want you, baby
I gotta have you, you know, I can't let go
Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby
chorus
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on
chorus x2
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
Let 'Er Rip
Dixie Chicks
I can tell there's something you
Don't wanna tell me
It's killing you cause the words
Are hard to find
I know you want to break it to me gently
Well sweet baby say what's on your mind
Let'er rip, Let it fly
Come on baby say it, do you think
I'm gonna cry
I ain't about to ball, and I ain't gonna die
So if you're gonna say goodbye
Don't take all day and night
Let'er rip, Let it fly
Why the drama, we don't have to drag
Out this situation
It wasn't you, it wasn't me, sometimes
The chemistry don't ignite
There ain't no rings, no mortage, there
ain't any complications
It's just a hyphenated word, get it our
I'm sure I'll be all right
Let'er rip, Let it fly
Come on baby say it, do you think
I'm gonna cry
I ain't about to ball, and I ain't gonna die
So if you're gonna say goodbye
Don't take all day and night
Let'er rip, Let it fly
It ain't no big deal, ain't no great loss
You and I are on the same train of thought
So you don't have to tell me where to get off
Maybe I misunderstood you
If you're leaving baby would you
Let'er rip, Let it fly
Come on baby say it, do you think
I'm gonna cry
I ain't about to ball, and I ain't gonna die
So if you're gonna say goodbye
Don't take all day and night
Let'er rip, Let it fly
So, if you're gonna say goodbye
Don't take all day and night
Let'er rip, let it fly
Live and Let Die
GnR
When you were young and your heart was an open book,
You used to say live and let live,
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give it a cry,
Say live and let die!
Live and let die,
Live and let die,
Live and let die.
What does it matter to ya,
When you've got a job to do you gotta do it well,
You gotta give the other fellow hell!
You used to say live and let live,
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give it a cry,
Say live and let die!
Live and let die,
Live and let die,
Live and let die.
Madonna
Live To Tell
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
Tell Her About It - Billy Joel
Listen boy
Don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away
You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made
She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly
When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure
Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe
Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't want
To wait--you got to
Tell her about it
Left Behind
Slipknot
I've known faces that have disapeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All My friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to calcify
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
Don't even try it! You had to be a liar just to
infiltrate me - I'm still drowing
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, i feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
...Take...this...away...
I can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can hear you like the holy ghost
And kill you if you get to close
<center>My Plague
Slipknot
I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the
Everyday bullshit things that you have done
Your impossible ego fuck is like a
Megalomaniacal tab on my tongue
You fuckin' touch me I will rip you apart
I'll reach in and take a bite out of that
Shit you call a heart...
I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed
Made to feel miniscule
If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know about me is...
...that's all you'll ever know
I know why you blame me (yourself)
I know why you plague me (yourself)
I'm turning it around like a knife in the shell
I wanna understand why, but I'm hurting myself
I haven't seen a lotta reasons to stop it
I can't just drop it
I'm just a bastard, but at least I admit it
At least I admit it
I know why you blame me (yourself)
I know why you plague me (yourself)
Kill you - fuck you - i will never be you
Kill you - fuck you - i will never be you
I can't fuckin' take it anymore
A snap of the synapse
And now it's fuckin' war
Kill you - fuck you - i will never be you</center>
Your Disease
Saliva
In one moment
I'm goin' all the way
I make my poetry everyday
And I'm frozen
Comin' right on time
I froze my mind with
That serious rhyme
And I'm open
Comin' up inside you
Know my mind has
Got a grand design
And I'm flowin'
Goin' all the way
I make my point
To be everyday
Come on
And I wanna take you down,
But your soul cannot be found
It doesn't matter much you see
'Cause your disease is killing me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
I know nothing is for free
'Cause your disease is killing me
My mind's broken
I'm goin' up in smoke
If you breathe my toke
I'm guaranteeing you choke
And I'm chosen
To testify to the masses
Wear dark glasses like
The cops in Texas
All knowing
It's not a premonition
Kill the competition like
A man on a mission
I'm blowin' comin' up inside
Like the Bee Gees cry
I'm just stayin' alive
Come on
And I wanna take you down,
But your soul cannot be found
It doesn't matter much you see
'Cause your disease is killing me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
I know nothing is for free
'Cause your disease is killing me
So now I'm finally
Goin' down
Can I find my
Way back home
Now there's no-one
Else around
Can I find my
Way back home?
Will I ever see the light?
Even though I'm fallin'
Will there ever be
Any peace for me?
Even though I'm falling
Will there ever be
Any peace for me?
Even though I'm falling
Will there ever be
Any peace for me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I wanna take you down,
But your soul cannot be found
It doesn't matter much you see
'Cause your disease is killing me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
I know nothing is for free
'Cause your disease is killing me
And I wanna take you down,
But your soul cannot be found
It doesn't matter much you see
'Cause your disease is killing me
And you know it's only right
'Cause it feels like paradise
I know nothing is for free
'Cause your disease is killing me
Queensryche - Spreading the Disease
She always brings me what I need
Without I beg and sweat and bleed
When we're alone at night
Waiting for the call
She feeds my skin
Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in Times Square
Working Live S&M shows
Twenty-five bucks [a fuck]
And John's a happy man
She wipes the filth away
And it's back on the streets again
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
Father William saved her from the streets
She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet
She's Sister Mary now, eyes as cold as ice
He takes her once a week
On the alter like a sacrifice
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in South America
[Saudi Arabia, on tour]
Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules America
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease
Too Hot
Coolio
Everybody listen up cuz I'm about to get my speak on
Fools be trippin' when it's time to get their freak on
Runnin' round town
Puttin' it down
Without no protection
Funny erection
When it's time for selection
What's your direction?
Before you make a choice you betta do some inspection
If you don't know my aim, an'
Don't know my game, then
Let me explain now
Aiesha slept wit' Mark
Then Mark slept wit' Tina
Then Tina slept wit' Javier
An' the first time he seen her
Javier slept wit' Loopy
An' Loopy slept wit' Rob
Cuz he was rollin' on beeds an' had a goodass job
Rob slept wit' Lisa who slept wit' Steve, an'
Steve was positive
H.I.V.
What started off as a plan
Ended up in the plot
Ya betta cool ya ass off
Cuz it's too damn hot....
(Chorus)
Oooh It's Too Hot
T o o H o t
Too Hot lady
T o o H o t
Gotta run for shelter
Gotta run for shade
It's Too Hot
T o o H o t
Too Hot homie
T o o H o t
Gotta make some sense from this mess that we made
Your doin' everything momma told ya not to do
Now you're tryin' to walk away cuz ya know it's true
Your sister can't explain, an'
Your mother's ashamed
to admit you both had the same last name
I don't have to ask you where you've been
Cuz the matches in your purse say Holiday Inn
A mind is a terrible thing to waste that was the slogan
But now it's '95 an' it's don't forget the Trojan
Explained it to her momma
Before somebody get her got her
Help her to the game with those smooth talkin' niggas
'Love' is the word
So is 'remember' it often heard
Latex
Safe sex
You better learn to get hip to the facts
Before you be yacko
End up in a box on your back
Sometimes ya axed me what you wanted
Get what you got
Don't get up in the plot
It's too damn hot...
-Chorus-
Another day in the city, an'
Know what a pity
Even though we did our duty things are still lookin' shitty
Everybody in the packstack tryin' to make some scraps
Walkin' in the rain but they ain't got no hat
Understand how we livin' in the 90's loc
Nuclear waste, cannibalism, and pistol smoke
Sex, lies, and videotape an' rape
Just a little public crime can seal your fate
We need to do something drastic shit
It's gettin' tragic
And if you don't believe me
Then go ask Magic
Everybody an' their momma preaching abstenence, these
Kids ain't checking for abster shit
So put a condom in their hand and hope it don't bust
Another victim of the lust
In God we trust
What started off as a plan
Ended up in the plot
Water can't cool it off cuz it's too damn hot....
-Chorus(extended)-
Yertle the Turtle
Red Hot Chili Peppers
On a far away island
of Salamasond
Yertle the turtle
Was king of the pond
A nice little pond
It was clean it was neat
The water was warm
There was plenty to eat
Until one day
The king of them all
Decided the kingdom
He ruled was too small
I'm a ruler of all that I see
But I don't see enough
And that's the trouble with me
With this stone for a throne
I am too low down
I cannot look down
Upon the places beyond
So Yertle the turtle king
Lifted his hand
And Yertle the turtle king
Lifted his hand
He ordered all the turtles
Onto one another's back
He piled them high
Into a ten turtle stack
I'm Yertle the turtle
The things I now rule
I'm king of a cow
I'm king of a mule
Then down from below
In the great turtle stack
Came a burp from a plain
Little turtle named Mack
Just part of the throne
This burpin' little turtle
Looked up and said "I beg
Your pardon king Yertle"
I've pains in my back
My shoulders and my knees
How long must we stand
Here your majesty
"Silence !" the king of the
Turtles barked back
To the bad burpin'
Little turtle named Mack
I'm Yertle the turtle
Oh marvelous me for
I am ruler of all that I see
Yertle, Yertle the turtle...
Yertle, Yertle the turtle...
Faith
by George Michael
well I guess it would be nice
if I could touch your body
I know not everybody
has got a body like you
but I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door
Cause I've gotta have faith
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please please please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another one who tied me down to
Loverboy rules
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Yes I've gotta have faith...
