We've got threads for what music you're listening to, and even dedicating a song to someone.

 

I thought perhaps a thread with the lyrics of songs we love, for what ever reason, you don't have to even say, just post the lyric and artist.

 

I'll start.

 

I just think this is an excellent song, and one that reminds me a bit of those of us who hang out on the net, especially a few friends of mine.

 

 

Iris

Goo Goo Dolls

 

 

 

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cuz I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

 

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cuz sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

 

And I don't want the world to see me

Cuz I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

 

And I don't want the world to see me

Cuz I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

And I don't want the world to see me

Cuz I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

And I don't want the world to see me

Cuz I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

Goo Goo Dolls are one of my "guilty pleasure" bands! :lol:

 

Here's another of theirs I really like:

 

Goo Goo Dolls - What A Scene (from Gutterflower)

 

When you're feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again

How does it feel?

When you drop down

Everything's all the same

Oh, yeah

 

Saccharine, caffeine, nicotine gum

All tastes sweet but it's not for long

And I just think you thought it would be

 

And when you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine

How does it feel?

When you found out what you're not going to be

Oh, yeah

 

They give you your image and the things you believe

Open your eyes, tell me what did you see

And I just think you thought it so real

 

[Chorus]

And how does it feel when you're out on your own?

And now it's too late to go home

And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

 

Now your supermarket, punk rock, television, comedy

Out on the scene

Yeah, I been down now there's no hand to feed

Oh, yeah

 

And all the beautiful images lining your walls

Pop radio screaming down the halls

And now you think you found something real

When it's all about money and the things that you need

Live a big lie and they all believe

And I just find that somehow obscene

 

[Chorus]

And how does it feel to be out on your own?

And now it's too late to go home

And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

What a scene

(Yeah)

 

It's all been said before

And all been done

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

 

[Repeated over and over]

La na na na na

La na na na na

 

'Cause lies weigh more than truth

Innocence looks good on you

Now everybody wants to know your name

 

[Repeated over and over to the end]

La na na na na

La na na na na

MB managed to start of with the song that Mt and Steve (EX) chose as our song.

 

Please Remember Me - Tim McGraw

 

I love this song for reasons that I don't even know. It makes me think of my ex, and some things he said when we were breaking up. I love this song because of its pain.

 

 

When all our tears have reached the sea

Part of you will live in me

Way down deep inside my heart

The days keep coming without fail

A new wind is gonna find your sail

That's where your journey starts

 

You'll find better love

Strong as it ever was

Deep as the river runs

Warm as the morning sun

Please remember me

 

Just like the waves down by the shore

We're gonna keep on coming back for more

Cause we don't ever wanna stop

Out in this brave new world you seek

Oh, the valleys and the peaks

And I can see you on the top

 

You'll find better love

Strong as it ever was

Deep as the river runs

Warm as the morning sun

Please remember me

 

Remember me when you're out walkin'

When the snow falls high outside your door

br> Late at night when you're not sleepin' And light falls across your floor

When I can't hurt you anymore

 

You'll find better love

Strong as it ever was

Deep as the river runs

Warm as the morning sun

Please remember me

 

Please remember me

This song never fails to bring a smile to my face, and to sing along with it.

 

I often transfer it over to friends on msn when they need a lift.

 

Johnny Are You Queer?

Josie Cotton

 

 

 

Johny what's the deal boy

Is your love for real boy

when the lights are low

You never hold me close Now I saw you today boy

Walking with them gay boys

Now you hurt me so, now I gotta know Johny are you queer?

'Cause when I see you dancing with your friends

I can't help wondering where I stand

 

I'm so afraid I'll lose you

If I can't seduce you

Is there something wrong?

Johny come on strong.

 

Why are you so weird, boy?

Johny are you queer boy?

When I make a play

You're pushing me away

 

'Cause when I see you dancing with your friends

I can't help wondering where I stand

 

Johny you've forsaken

A love you could be takin'

I want to give it to you,

But you never come through

 

Oh, why are you so weird, boy? Johny are you queer boy? When you asked for a date

I thought that you were straight.

But Johny are you queer?

 

Johny are you queer boy?

Johny are you queer boy?

Johny are you queer boy?

 

Hey Johny.. Johny are you.. you know...

I had assumed you were.

 

Does anyone else remember seeing KC & The Sunshine Band on the Mike Douglas Show?

 

Radio has this one and made me remember those flashy costumes they wore. :jaw:

 

Artist: KC & the Sunshine Band

Song: Please Don't Go

 

Babe, I love you so

I want you to know

that I'm going to miss your love

the minute you walk out that door

 

so please don't go

don't go, don't go away

please don't go

don't go, I'm begging you to stay

 

If you live, at least in my life time

I had one dream come true

I was blessed to be loved

by someone as wonderful as you

 

Hey hey hey

I need your love

I'm down on my knees

beggin' please please

please don't go

don't you hear me baby

don't leave me now

oh no no no don't go

Just being honest.

 

 

 

Anyway, does anyone remember School House Rock, those catchy little tunes you'd carry in your head and never get out? :jaw::drool:

 

Well, here's one!! :jaw:

 

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up words and phrases and clauses.

Conjunction Junction, how's that function?

I got three favorite cars

That get most of my job done.

Conjunction Junction, what's their function?

I got "and", "but", and "or",

They'll get you pretty far.

 

"And":

That's an additive, like "this and that".

"But":

That's sort of the opposite,

"Not this but that".

And then there's "or":

O-R, when you have a choice like

"This or that".

"And", "but", and "or",

Get you pretty far.

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up two boxcars and making 'em run right.

Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice.

Hey that's nice!

Dirty but happy, digging and scratching,

Losing your shoe and a button or two.

He's poor but honest, sad but true,

Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up two cars to one

When you say something like this choice:

"Either now or later"

Or no choice:

"Neither now nor ever"

Hey that's clever!

Eat this or that, grow thin or fat,

Never mind, I wouldn't do that,

I'm fat enough now!

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up phrases and clauses that balance, like:

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

He cut loose the sandbags,

But the balloon wouldn't go any higher.

Let's go up to the mountains,

Or down to the sea.

You should always say "thank you",

Or at least say "please".

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up words and phrases and clauses

In complex sentences like:

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up cars and making 'em function.

Conjunction Junction, how's that function?

I like tying up words and phrases and clauses.

Conjunction Junction, watch that function.

I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.

If you write or read,

Or even think about it.

 

Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here.

Got a lot of lolly, jolly adverbs here.

Anything you need and we can make it absolutely clear...

 

An adverb is a word

(That's all it is! and there's a lot of them)

That modifies a verb,

(Sometimes a verb and sometimes)

It modifies an adjective, or else another adverb

And so you see that it's positively, very, very, necessary.

 

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here.

Father, son, and Lolly selling adverbs here.

Hello, folks, this is Lolly, Sr., saying we have every adverb in the book, so come on down and look.

 

Hello folks, Lolly, Jr. here. Suppose your house needs painting -- how are you going to paint it? That's where the adverb comes in. We can also give you a special intensifier so you can paint it very neatly or rather sloppily.

 

Hi! Suppose you're going nut-gathering; your buddy wants to know where and when. Use an adverb and tell him!

 

Get your adverbs!

 

Use it with an adjective, it says much more,

Anything described can be described some more.

Anything you'd ever need is in the store,

And so you choose very carefully every word you use.

 

Use it with a verb, it tells us how you did,

Where it happened, where you're going, where you've been.

Use it with another adverb -- that's the end.

And even more...

 

How, where, or when,

Condition or reason,

These questions are answered

When you use an adverb.

 

Come and get it!

 

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here.

Quickly, quickly, quickly, get those adverbs here.

Slowly, surely, really learn your adverbs here.

You're going need 'em if you read 'em,

If you write or talk or think about 'em ... Lolly! (Lolly, Lolly, Lolly)

 

Announcer: If it's an adverb, we have it at Lolly's! Bring along your old adjectives, too - like slow, soft, and sure. We'll fit 'em out with our L-Y attachment and make perfectly good adverbs out of them!

 

(Get your adverbs here!) Lots of good tricks at Lolly's so come on down.

 

(Lolly, Lolly, Lolly!)

 

Adverbs deal with manner, place, time,

 

(Lolly, Lolly, Lolly!)

 

Condition, reason,

 

(Father, son, and Lolly)

 

Comparison, contrast

 

(Lolly, Lolly, Lolly)

 

Enrich your language with adverbs!

 

(Lolly, Lolly, Lolly)

 

Besides, they're absolutely free!

 

(Lolly, Lolly, Lolly)

 

At your service!

 

Indubitably!

Dope-Debonaire

 

I don't need diamond rings or highpriced suits that shine

Limosines and flashy things or ancient bottled wine

Designer names and lavish things and million dollar hair

Bonny Dames without a brain I never really cared

I dont care nothin about it wow yeah

I dont care for slitzy things or a fancy neighborhood

Glamour games or plastic fame or the king of Hollywood

Dazzling flamboyant things or a top hat onmy head

Or modeling for magazines and to be a debonaire

I dont care nothing about it wow yeah

I got THREE songs by Cowboy Troy, who's bending and blurring Genre lines with his "Hick Hop", a mix of Country music and Rap.

 

 

 

 

 

"If You Don't Wanna Love Me"

(feat. Sarah Buxton)

Click For Spoiler

[Chorus x 2 - Sarah Buxton]

If you don't wanna love me

Then I'll find somebody else who will

Find another kind of thrill

Find another way to fill this loneliness

 

[Verse 1 - Cowboy Troy]

A married couple with kids and a family pet

He takes for granted that it's all good, and things are set

But she feels no passion in the romance

It's been a year since they had their last slow dance

Even worse her husband treats her like an ornament

Every other week the kids have a tournament

A team meeting or somewhere they gotta be

But her heart's screamin', "Hey what about me?"

Unbeknownst, another hound is in the chicken coop

And he's makin' moves like a player to the hoop

She met him at the gym or was it at the grocery?

It doesn't matter 'cause you know where it's goin' B

'Cause last year, her mister got caught cheatin'

So she figures this is gonna make 'em even

He thought she'd wait like all the times before

Until he found the note she left for him hanging on the door

It read...

 

[Chorus x 2 - Sarah Buxton (Cowboy Troy)]

If you don't wanna love me

Then I'll find somebody else who will (I'll find somebody else who will)

Find another kind of thrill

Find another way to fill this loneliness

 

[Verse 2 - Cowboy Troy (Sarah Buxton)]

She's sixteen, callin' home to her mama

Afraid to talk 'cause she scared of all the noise and drama

She's been gone for a week and a half

All she wants is something to eat and a nap

Cause she's a runaway (runaway, runaway)

Sleepin' under bridges and sleepin' in alleyways

Afraid to go the shelter so at night she prays

That hopefully she's gonna see some better days

Meanwhile Mom and Dad are really frantic

when they saw her clothes were gone

you know they really panicked

thoughts in their mind, "Did she run to the border?"

Or even worse "Will she be a case on Law and Order?"

The silence in her room screams of not feelin' wanted

Of not being good enough it almost seems haunted

All her pain soon will be known

When she leaves her Mom and Dad a message after the tone and says....

 

[Chorus x 2 - Sarah Buxton (Cowboy Troy)]

If you don't wanna love me

Then I'll find somebody else who will (I'll find somebody else who will)

Find another kind of thrill

Find another way to fill this loneliness

 

[sarah Buxton + Cowboy Troy]

If you really wanna know me

I guess you better show me

Is it real or is it phony?

Just love me or leave me alone

 

[Chorus until end - Sarah Buxton (Cowboy Troy)]

If you don't wanna love me

Then I'll find somebody else who will (I'll find somebody else who will)

Find another kind of thrill

Find another way to fill this loneliness

 

"Wrap Around The World"

Click For Spoiler

[Chorus]

Wrap around the world, all the boys and girls

Raise your hands and sing along tonight

Red and yellow, black and white

They are precious in His site

Everybody wrap around the world

 

[Verse 1 - Cowboy Troy]

To the hicks in Russia, zdrasvootya, kak dila, pazhalsta

Be careful 'cause I'm hot to ya, while I'm rockin' ya

And your mouth is hanging open saying, "Shto eta?!"

We've got the cowboy sound all across the seas

Bonjour to the French and the Portuguese

Konnichi wa to the Japanese

I'll even break it down for you in Mandarin Chinese

Yi-ar-san, san-ar-yi, nin hao, wo jiao xiansheng CBT, wo cong meiguo lai

Ji dian liu, wo dong jiankang ra huo che nimen fu yijian yuan jian shi

Cong yirjo so lai, wo dong bian, Beijing, Sichuan, Cian Gang, zai jian

Yi liu ping an!

 

[Chorus (Cowboy Troy)]

Wrap around the world, all the boys and girls

Raise your hands and sing along tonight (sing along tonight!)

Red and yellow, black and white

They are precious in His site

Everybody wrap around the world

 

[Verse 2 - Cowboy Troy]

Guten abent meine damen und herren

Is what you hear in Germany when speakers are blaring

Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, und Koln

Rackin' up minutes callin' home on my cell phone

I can't wait to rock Tokyo, Nihonjin! Domo arigato!

Okinawa, Kyoto, Osaka, sounds like a job for the chief party rocker

I'm a lyrical black belt, so now you know

Some call it Tongue Fu, I call it Tae Kwon Flo!

Laissez les bon ton roulle

As I'm rockin' Paris and the Champs Elysses

 

[Chorus (Cowboy Troy)]

Wrap around the world, all the boys and girls

Raise your hands and sing along tonight (sing along tonight!)

Red and yellow, black and white

They are precious in His site

Everybody wrap around the world

 

[interlude]

 

[Chorus (Cowboy Troy)]

Wrap around the world, all the boys and girls

Raise your hands and sing along tonight (sing along tonight!)

Red and yellow, black and white

They are precious in His site

Everybody wrap around the world (C'mon c'mon!)

Wrap around the world, all the boys and girls

Raise your hands and sing along tonight (sing along y'all, sing along!)

Red and yellow, black and white

They are precious in His site

Everybody wrap around the world

Hey everybody wrap around the world

Hey everybody wrap around the world

 

"Beast On The Mic"

(feat. James Otto)

Click For Spoiler

[Chorus - James Otto]

I'm a beast on the mic, can't get no satisfaction

Step aside 'cause it's time for some action

I'm a hick rhyme sayer with a kung fu grip

I get the job done 'stead of talkin' 'bout it

 

[Verse 1 - Cowboy Troy]

Early in the mornin I'm up and I'm at 'em

Hopin' one day my album goes platinum

Rockin that mic so viciously, deliciously, not maliciously

When atmospheric pressure and vapor pressure converge

There's a party surge, so I must emerge

Get the people hyped and keep going nonstop

Knock the party off the meter when the bassline drops

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

[Cowboy Troy - Japanese Tag]

Ichi-nichi-ju, Ichi-nichi-ju

Kuroi amerikajin yoru

 

[Verse 2 - Cowboy Troy]

The last of the brohicans is speakin'

The one that you turn to each and every weekend

Risin', peakin', while the bump is beatin'

Don't turn back, no retreatin'

You can see my vision, you can feel my force

Time to hit the trail boy, the mic is my horse

I tantalize and tickle your tympanic with my English

Smile as you listen to the ruckus as I bring this

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

[Cowboy Troy - Japanese Tag]

Ichi-nichi-ju, Ichi-nichi-ju

Kuroi amerikajin yoru

 

All day long, all day long

Cowboy Troy bringin' you this song

All day long, all day long

Cowboy Troy bringin' you this song

 

[Verse 3 - Cowboy Troy]

I'm comin' with the best and fresh from out west

Bus driver takin' you to school to pass the test

See I'm lyrically hypnotic, at times even psychotic

Erotic, bionic and it may leave you catatonic

 

 

[Repeat Chorus 2X]

For My Beloved Lady. :unsure: :P

 

Maybe I don't really want to know

How your garden grows

I just want to fly

Lately did you ever feel the pain

In the morning rain

As it soaks it to the bone

 

Maybe I just want to fly

Want to live I don't want to die

Maybe I just want to breath

Maybe I just don't believe

Maybe you're the same as me

We see things they'll never see

You and I are gonna live forever

 

I said maybe I don't really want to know

How your garden grows

Cos I just want to fly

Lately did you ever feel the pain

In the morning rain

As it soaks it to the bone

 

Maybe I will never be

All the things that I want to be

Now is not the time to cry

Now's the time to find out why

I think you're the same as me

We see things they'll never see

You and I are gonna live forever

 

Maybe I don't really want to know

How your garden grows

Cos I just want to fly

Lately did you ever feel the pain

In the morning rain

As it soaks it to the bone

 

Maybe I just want to fly

Want to live I don't want to die

Maybe I just want to breath

Maybe I just don't believe

Maybe you're the same as me

We see things they'll never see

You and I are gonna live forever

Gonna live forever

Gonna live forever

Gonna live forever

Gonna live forever

Gonna live forever

Gonna live forever

Lose Yourself-Eminem

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

 

Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

He's chokin, how everybody's chokin now

The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy

No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes

It don't matter, he's dope

He knows that, but he's broke

He's so stacked that he knows

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's

Back to the lab again yo

This whole rap city

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

 

[Chorus:]

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo,

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,

 

His soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping

This world is mine for the taking

Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order

A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom

It only grows harder, only grows hotter

He blows us all over these hoes is all on him

Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter

Lonely roads, God only knows

He's grown farther from home, he's no father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water

These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product

They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

He nose dove and sold nada

So the soap opera is told and unfolds

I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on

Da da dum da dum da da

 

[Chorus:]

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, you better

 

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

Tear this motha(I'm trying to say a bad word but can't)in roof off like 2 dogs caged

I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed

I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher

Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper

All the pain inside amplified by the fact

That I can't get by with my 9 to 5

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family

Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers

And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer, this is my life

And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder

Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus

Teeter-totter caught up between trying to be a father and a prima donna

Baby mama drama's screamin on and

Too much for me to wanna

Stay in one spot, another day of monotony

Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail

I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot

Success is my only motha(I'm trying to say a bad word but can't)in option, failure's not

Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go

I cannot grow old in Salem's lot

So here I go is my shot.

Feet fail me not or not this may be the only opportunity that I got

 

[Chorus:]

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,

 

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Click For Spoiler
For My Dearest Darling :P :unsure:

 

Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather

At 57 Mt. Pleasant St.

Now it's the same room but everything's different

You can fight the sleep but not the dream

 

Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen

Strange affliction wash over me

Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire

Couldn't conquer the blue sky

 

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

Everywhere you go you always take the weather

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

Everywhere you go you always take the weather the weather with you

 

Well there's a small boat made of china

That's going nowhere on the mantlepiece

Well do I lie like a lounge room lizard?

Or do I sing like a bird released?

 

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

Everywhere you go you always take the weather

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

Everywhere you go you always take the weather the weather with you

 

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

Everywhere you go you always take the weather

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

Everywhere you go you always take the weather

 

Take the weather the weather with you

Just being honest.

 

 

 

Anyway, does anyone remember School House Rock, those catchy little tunes you'd carry in your head and never get out? :unsure:  B)

 

Well, here's one!! :P

 

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up words and phrases and clauses.

Conjunction Junction, how's that function?

I got three favorite cars

That get most of my job done.

Conjunction Junction, what's their function?

I got "and", "but", and "or",

They'll get you pretty far.

 

"And":

That's an additive, like "this and that".

"But":

That's sort of the opposite,

"Not this but that".

And then there's "or":

O-R, when you have a choice like

"This or that".

"And", "but", and "or",

Get you pretty far.

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up two boxcars and making 'em run right.

Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice.

Hey that's nice!

Dirty but happy, digging and scratching,

Losing your shoe and a button or two.

He's poor but honest, sad but true,

Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up two cars to one

When you say something like this choice:

"Either now or later"

Or no choice:

"Neither now nor ever"

Hey that's clever!

Eat this or that, grow thin or fat,

Never mind, I wouldn't do that,

I'm fat enough now!

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up phrases and clauses that balance, like:

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

He cut loose the sandbags,

But the balloon wouldn't go any higher.

Let's go up to the mountains,

Or down to the sea.

You should always say "thank you",

Or at least say "please".

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up words and phrases and clauses

In complex sentences like:

 

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Hooking up cars and making 'em function.

Conjunction Junction, how's that function?

I like tying up words and phrases and clauses.

Conjunction Junction, watch that function.

I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.

This is one of my favorite songs...

 

Winterborn (This Sacrifice) - The Crüxshadows

 

Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride

For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave

And promise me, they will never see, the fear within our eyes

We will give strength to those who still remain

 

So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith is come that I have never known

I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born

 

Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love

Think of the faces of the people you defend

And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes

Although we are men with mortal sins, angels never cry

 

So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in God that I have never known

I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour

I will be your light

A lifetime for this destiny

For I am Winter born

And in this moment...

I will not run, it is my place to stand

We few shall carry hope

Within our bloodied hands

 

And in our Dying

We're more alive-than we have ever been

I've lived for these few seconds

For I am Winter born

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be the light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in man

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

 

Within this moment now

I am for you, though better men have failed

I will give my life for love

For I am Winter born

 

And in my dying I'm more alive, than I have ever been

I will make this sacrifice for I am Winter born

 

............

Heaven

The Psychodelic Furs

 

 

 

heaven is the whole of the heart

and heaven won't tear you apart

yeah heaven is the whole of the heart

and heaven don't tear you apart

 

there's too many kings wanna hold you down

and a world at the window gone underground

there's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine

and a clock on the wall and it counts my time

 

and heaven is the whole of the heart

and heaven won't tear you apart

yeah heaven is the whole of the heart

and heaven don't tear you apart

 

there's a song on the air with a love-you line

and a face in a glass and it looks like mine

and i'm standing on ice when i say that i don't hear planes

and i scream at the fools, wanna jump my train

 

and heaven is the whole of the heart

and heaven won't tear you apart

yeah heaven is the whole of the heart

and heaven don't tear you apart

yeah heaven

ah heaven

yeah heaven

You Set Me Free

Michelle Branch

 

 

 

Can't you see?

There's a feeling that's come over me

Close my eyes

You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless

 

No need to wonder why

Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny

 

'Cause I wanted to fly,

so you gave me your wings

And time held its breath so I could see, yeah

And you set me free

 

There's a will

There's a way

Sometimes words just can't explain

This is real

I'm afraid

I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting

You make me restless

 

You're in my heart

The only light that shines

there in the dark

 

'Cause I wanted to fly,

so you gave me your wings

And time held its breath so I could see, yeah

And you set me free

 

When I was alone

You came around

When I was down

You pulled me through

And there's nothing that

I wouldn't do for you

 

'Cause I wanted to fly,

so you gave me your wings

And time held its breath so I could see, yeah

And you set me free

The Space Between

Dave Matthews Band

 

You cannot quit me so quickly

There's no hope in you for me

No corner you could squeeze me

But I got all the time for you, love

 

The Space Between

The tears we cry

Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more

The Space Between

The wicked lies we tell

And hope to keep safe from the pain

 

But will I hold you again?

These fickle, fuddled words confuse me

Like 'Will it rain today?'

Waste the hours with talking, talking

These twisted games we're playing

 

We're strange allies

With warring hearts

What wild-eyed beast you be

The Space Between

The wicked lies we tell

And hope to keep safe from the pain

 

Will I hold you again?

Will I hold...

 

Look at us spinning out in

The madness of a roller coaster

You know you went off like a devil

In a church in the middle of a crowded room

All we can do, my love

Is hope we don't take this ship down

 

The Space Between

Where you're smiling high

Is where you'll find me if I get to go

The Space Between

The bullets in our firefight

Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you

The rain that falls

Splash in your heart

Ran like sadness down the window into...

The Space Between

Our wicked lies

Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

 

Take my hand

'Cause we're walking out of here

Oh, right out of here

Love is all we need here

 

The Space Between

What's wrong and right

Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you

The Space Between

Your heart and mine

Is the space we'll fill with time

The Space Between...

Bliss

Alice Peacock with John Mayer

 

Your touch is electric

I felt it the first time you held me

The way we connected

So easily

 

I've tried to define it

Searched for the perfect phrase

I've tried to describe it

In a million different ways

 

 

It's joy,

it's ecstacy,

it's truth,

it's destiny

And even love is not enough to tell you how you make me feel

There's only one word for this

 

I've got to admit it

You took my heart by surprise

Don't know how you did it

But baby, I've never felt so alive

 

 

It's joy,

it's ecstacy,

it's truth,

it's destiny

And even love is not enough to tell you how you make me feel

There's only one word for this

It's bliss

 

Hey, know baby, know what the future holds

As long as you're here with me

 

 

It's joy,

it's ecstacy,

it's truth,

it's destiny

And even love is not enough to tell you how you make me feel

 

It's faith,

it's honesty,

it's life,

it's everything

To say "I love you"'s not enough to tell you how you make me feel

 

It's in your smile,

in your kiss

It's the reason that I exist

There's only one word for this

It's bliss

 

It's bliss

 

It's bliss

To Make You Feel My Love

 

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I would offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

 

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

 

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

 

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

 

I'd go hungry, I'd go blind for you

I'd go crawling down the aisle for you

There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

 

The storms are raging on a rolling sea

Down the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

But you ain't seen nothing like me yet

 

There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

Make you happy, make your dreams come true

To make you feel my love

Collide

Howie Day

 

For some reason this song is soooo relaxing to me. I'm also realizing I'm very soppy today. <_<

 

 

 

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

 

I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

 

I'm quiet you know

You make a frist impression

I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to ryhme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I collide

 

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide
