SmokeyVW Strategies 9/11 Couple of Drops How We Hear Heart Sheryl Crow Peter Gabriel Linkin Park

Bill Grundmann's 9/11 Playlist

What is this all about?	This playlist is a music collage meant to tell a story about 9/11. My hope is once you begin to see what I'm up to, you'll hear the meaning of these songs in an entirely new light. Pay close attention to the sound effects in some of the songs (Action), that'll get you started on your journey.
How do I get started?	Gather up these songs. The order is important. Then listen, probably a few times. The story is in three main parts, but the borders are a bit fuzzy. Several songs fit into more than one section. Don't take anything literally, that's NOT the point. The experiences and memories you bring with you are at least as important as the actual songs here.
Why did you do this?	It just happened. I guess I needed to work through this in my own way. And this was the way. (other thoughts)
Technical Notes	I have neither the data space nor the lawyers to include the songs themselves here. I leave it to you to find them. They are all commercially available.
Technical Notes	The lyrics are included here in case you have difficulty finding all these songs, or if you want to read along as you listen. I copied the lyrics from various web sites that I found using Google. Then I tweaked them to my opinion of what the artists were actually singing. (Please forgive the typos and misheard lines!)

BTW, all these songs were written before 20010911 <in case you were wondering>

Premonition

Steve Miller - Jet Airliner

Leavin' home out on the road
I've been down before
Riding along on this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home

But my lovelight seems so far away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I got to stay

Good-bye to all my friends at home,
Good-bye to people I trusted
I got to go out and make my way
I might get rich, you know, I might get busted

But my heart keeps callin' me backwards
As I get on the 707
Riding, I got tears in my eye
You know, you got to go through hell before you get to heaven

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I got to stay

Touching down in New England town,
Feel the heat comin' down
I got to keep on keepin' on
You know, the big wheel keeps a spinnin' around

And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I got to stay

Big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's there that I belong

Motivation

Sargenti - Hold On To The Land

Fagan's Cross over Hana Bay watches the sun's first fiery rays
Warm the pastures and wake a sleepy town.
It's just one man's opinion but for what it's worth
There's no place finer in God's green earth
Than Hana in the morning with the sun shining down.

Hold on, hold on the land you love
Hold on, hold on to the land

The rocky shores of Waikaloa, the turquoise waves and white sands of Hamoa
All feel the warmth of the sun's gentle hand.
As the sunlight fills the morning air, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere
Beauty in all directions anywhere you stand.

Hold on, hold on the land you love
Hold on, hold on to the land

Now there are those who have no shame, who'd destroy this beauty for their own gain
Telling you all the while, it's what you need.
But don't be fooled by clever lies, it's happened before a thousand times
It's the same old tale of broken promises and greed.

Hold on, hold on the land you love
Hold on, hold on to the land

Fagan's Cross over Hana Bay, if the hills could talk what would they say
After all they've seen from where they stand?
And all the voices floating in the breeze of those who still live in our memories,
The ones who are buried in the Aina, the land... what would they say?

Hold on, hold on the land you love
Hold on, hold on to the land

Billy Joel - No Man's Land

I've seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines
Blue suits and bankers with their Volvos and their Ballantines
Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise
Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice
Now we're gonna get the big business
Now we're gonna get the real thing
Everybody's all excited about it

Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man's land
Before they passed the master plan
Out here in no man's land
Low supply and high demand
Here in no man's land
In no man's land

There ain't much work out here in our consumer power base
No major industry, just miles and miles of parking space
This morning's paper says our neighbor's in a cocaine bust
Lots more to read about Lolita and suburban lust
Now we're gonna get the whole story
Now we're gonna be in prime time
Everybody's all excited about it

Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man's land
We've just begun to understand
Out here in no man's land
Low supply and high demand
Here in no man's land

I see these children with their boredom and their vacant stares
God help us all if we're to blame for their unanswered prayers
They roll the sidewalks up at night, this place goes underground
Thanks to the condo kings there's cable now in Zombietown
Now we're gonna get the closed circuit
Now we're gonna get the Top 40
Now we're gonna get the sports franchise
Now we're gonna get the major attractions

Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man's land
Before the whole world was in our hands
Out here in no man's land
Before the banners and the marching bands
Out here in no man's land
Low supply, high demand
Here in no man's land

Here in no man's land

Filter - Cancer

I cross the oceans
I cross the seas
I cross the mountains
Like a new disease
I cross the borders
I cross the line
Never to see the light
'Till the end of time

I've seen the canyons
I've seen the cities
I've seen the prisons
That take such pity
When it comes to you
When it comes to me
It's just money
That sets you free

Hey my children what seems important
Won't last forever
Hey my children what seems important
Won't last forever

Take a look at the Earth
From a plane
You'll see the Earth
Cut up and in pain
Take a look at L.A.
From the sky
What you see
Should make you cry

Hey my children what seems important
Won't last forever
Hey my children what seems important
Won't last forever

I'm the scum of the Earth
I'm the scum of the Earth...
I am a cancer
I am a cancer...
I am Humanity
I am Humanity...

Hey my children what seems important
Won't last forever

Pray my children what's the use and point to last forever

R.E.M. - Exhuming McCarthy

You're beautiful more beautiful than me
You're honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the Bank of America

It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.

Vested interest united ties, landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America

It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.

Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America

Let us not assassinate this man further Senator,
you've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

We're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.

Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
You've seen start and you've seen quit
(I'm addressing the table of content)
I always thought of you as quick

Devo - The Big Picture

Goin' round the world

Don't know where we're goin'
We don't even care
But you just can't be from someplace else
Unless you go somewhere

And we're in the same boat
So as long as it floats
We might as well stop 'n' stare
At the big picture
The big picture
Get the b-i-i-i-i-g picture

We're almost there...

Now we're gonna keep on goin'
'Til that new age dawns
Always keeping an eye on the stars in the sky
In case one starts to fall

And we're in the same boat
As the ones who can't float
So they might freak out and sink us all

And miss the big picture
(Going round the world)
The big picture
(Got to get it now)

Like a fish in the water
You don't know where you've been
'Til you jump out and take a look around
At the b-i-i-i-i-g picture

Preparation

Paul Simon - Killer Wants to Go to College II

I know you're trying to protect me
Searching for another truth
With your language and your poetry
From my ignorance and youth

Hey I did not come to argue
My life never made much sense
I just wish that I could hug you
You're my only defense

I don't understand your writing
I can barely sign my name
All I ever learned was fighting
But I'm not the only one to blame

The streets were dark with danger
I had to stand up for my friends
In a land where I'm a stranger
And the hatred never ends

Killer wants to go on T.V.

What would you say to the parent today?
How old are you now? Thirty?
I'm thirty two years old.
Thirty two years old now...
They would have a thirty two year old boy,
But they don't have a thirty two year old boy.
How would you deal with a situation like that?
That's a very difficult question to answer.
It depends on the parents.
How would the parents deal with me.
If they dealt with me in a forgiving manner,
I would in turn deal with them humanely.
And I would always try to deal with them humanely
Even if they did not have this forgiving attitude.

So you really have no answer for them.

Chumbawamba - Outsider

For over half a million young people every weekend,
a good night out means breaking the law

Outsider, outsider, outsider

I'm not alone, you're not alone.

You see me, you hear me, there are millions think just like me.

Solar Twins - Rock the Casbah

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shaken to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a-standing
On the radiator grille

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Learning to Fly

Well, it started out
Down a dirty road
Started out
All alone
And the sun went down
As I crossed the hill
And the town lit up
The world got still

I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing

Well the good ol' days
May not return
And the rocks might melt
And the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing

Well, some say life
Will beat you down
Break your heart
Steal your crown

So I've started out
For God knows where
I guess I'll know
When I get there

I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds
What goes up
Must come down

I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing

I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds
But what goes up
Must come down

I'm learning to fly

Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
Fatal attraction holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone

My sole intention is learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

8:46

Living Colour - Time's Up

Time's up the rivers have no life
Time's up the world is full of strife
Time's up the sky is falling
Time's up the Lord is calling

How you gonna stop the clock
When the well runs dry
All the rivers have died
Moment by moment, day by day
The world is just slipping away
Your future won't save your past
The time is now, it won't last
The time is nigh
Time to do-or-die

Time waits for no one
If you want to go on
Leave me something to grow on
The forests, the trees, the rivers, the seas
All die of this disease

Time ain't on your side
Don't sit idly by
You've got to just try

R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

That's great, it starts with
an earthquake, birds and snakes
an airplane
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

Eye of a hurricane
listen to yourself churn
world serves its own needs
don't misserve your own needs.

Speed it up a notch, speed
grunt no, strength no
ladder structure clatter with
fear of height, down height.

Wire in a fire
represent the seven games
in a government for hire
and a combat site.

Left her
wasn't coming in a hurry
with the furies breathing
down your neck.

Team by team
reporters baffled, trump tethered crop.
Look at that low plane!

Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow
population, common group
but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.

World serves its own needs
listen to your heartbeat.
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent
in the right
Right.

You vitriolic, patriotic,
slam, fight,
bright light,
feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour.
Don't get caught in foreign tower.
Slash and burn, return,
listen to yourself churn.

Lock him in uniform and
book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate.
Automotive incinerate.

Light a candle, light a votive.
Step down, step down.
Watch a heel crush, crush.
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier.
Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament,
a tournament of lies.

Offer me solutions,
offer me alternatives
and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
can I have some time alone?
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night I tripped
a nice continental drift divide.
Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Banks.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic,
patriotic,
slam, but neck, right?
Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
can I have some time alone?
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...

Eric Burdon and the Animals - Sky Pilot (part two)

9:03

You're soldiers of God
You must understand
The fate of your country
Is in your young hands.

May God give you strength
Do your job real well
If it all was worth it
Only time it will tell.

In the morning they return
With tears in their eyes
The stench of death
Drifts up to the skies.

A young soldier so ill
Looks at the Sky Pilot
Remembers the words
"Thou shalt not kill".

Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You never, never, never reach the sky.

Sargenti - Life Goes On

The day that Hasegawa's burned down, a wave of disbelief washed over the town.
How could it be gone after all these years?
And then the anger settled in, who was guilty of this mortal sin,
Who among us could commit such a crime?

Some people stared and some people cried
It felt a little like a friend had died,
Everybody knew inside it could never be the same,
Ah, but life goes on.

It was arson, there was no doubt and though they tried their best to put the fire out
The fierceness of the flames kept turning them back.
And when the morning sun rose up out of the sea, there was nothing left but a memory
Every rainbow color charred to black.

Some people stared and some people cried
It felt a little like a friend had died,
Everybody knew inside it could never be the same,
Ah, but life goes on.

As the years roll by and our children grow, it's a memory they'll sadly never know
By then they'll have memories of their own.
Then one day one of theirs will die, and some will stare and some will cry
Just like us, they'll wonder where the years have flown.

Some people stared and some people cried
It felt a little like a friend had died,
Everybody knew inside it could be never be the same,
Ah, but life goes on.

Some people stared and some people cried
It felt a little like a friend had died,
Everybody knew inside this town would never be the same,
Ah, but life goes on.

Life goes on.

Talking Heads - Burning Down the House

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet here you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house out of the ordinary
That's might don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

Reaction

Solar Twins - Out There

Hear the sirens in a distant part of town
Hear the rumble of the freeway dying down
Someone calls me but the answer phone's turned down
I'm not sleepin' but there's sleepers all around

Hear the TV say the future's gettin' near
Everybody lives between their hope and fear
I can't tell if anyone is sincere
Lock the door and pull the covers up to here

It's dark out there

Footsteps echoing outside the door
Tomorrow's paper brings the same news as before
No one cares about the truth any more
Now the hurricane is racing to the shore

It's dark out there

All the people are in dream land
All the people are asleep
All the bad things in the world are just outside
I'm falling in too deep, I'm tryin' to get some sleep

Pink Floyd - Lost for Words

I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in a cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralyzed
I thought that everything else would just wait

While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night

To martyr yourself to caution
Is not gonna help at all
'Cause there'll be no safety in numbers
When the right one walks out of the door

Can you see your days blighted by darkness
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy goes over the door

So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win

Ace of Base - Living in Danger

	Live for yourself
	It's a wonderful theme
	You can do what you want
	You can live in a dream
	Get up, get in, get the rhythm, get down

You're living your life in peace and in harmony
You're makin' your own decisions
That's how its got to be for you and me
So many people are runnin' 'round and 'round
Without any sense of logic

I see lies, in the eyes of a stranger	Live for yourself it's a wonderful theme
Whoa-oh, you'll be livin' in danger	You can do what you want you can live in a dream
	Get up
I see lies, in the eyes of a stranger	Keep movin' your feet don't go wasting your time
Whoa-oh, you'll be livin' in danger	Everybody's movin', yeah they're getting in line
	Get up
I see lies, in the eyes of a stranger
Whoa-oh, you'll be livin' in danger

People are the same today as they used to be
The same expectations, so high no one can reach
That high not I nor you get satisfied today
We never get enough

I see lies, in the eyes of a stranger...

People are the same today as they used to be
We never get enough

I see lies, in the eyes of a stranger...

Look into the eyes of a stranger
Oh so much danger, oh so much danger
Look into the eyes of a stranger...
In the eyes of a stranger...
You'll be living in danger...

Crosby, David - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Carry On

One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, I knew
I should see it along
Go your way, I'll go mine and
Carry on

The sky is clearing and the night
Has gone out
The sun, he come, the world
Is all full of love
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
To carry on

The fortunes of fables are able
To sing the song
Now witness the quickness with which
We get along
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and
Carry on

Carry on
Love is coming
Love is coming to us all

Where are you going now my love?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness?
Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

Girl when I was on my own
Chasing you down
What was it made you run?
Trying your best just to get around.
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

Pink Floyd - Keep Talking

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I sit in the corner
And no one can bother me

I think I should speak now	Why won't you talk to me?
I can't seem to speak now	You never talk to me
My words won't come out right	What are you thinking?
I feel like I'm drowning	What are you feeling?
I'm feeling weak now	Why won't you talk to me?
But I can't show my weakness	You never talk to me
I sometimes wonder	What are you thinking?
Where do we go from here	What are you feeling?

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me?	I feel like I'm drowning
You never talk to me	You know I can't breathe now
What are you thinking?	We're going nowhere
What are you feeling?	We're going nowhere
Why won't you talk to me?	...
You never talk to me	...
What are you thinking?	...
...	Where do we go from here?

It doesn't have to be like this

All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Al Stewart - On the Border

The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border

On my wall the colours of the maps are running
From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming
The torches flare up in the night
The hand that sets the farms alight
To spread the word to those who're waiting on the border

In the village where I grew up
Nothin' seems the same
But you never see the change from day to day
And no one notices the customs slip away

Late last night the rain was knockin' at my window
I moved across the darkened room and in the lamp glow
I thought I saw down in the street
The spirit of the century
Telling us that we're all standing on the border

In the islands where I grew up
Nothin' seems the same
All the patterns just remain
An empty shell
There's a strangeness in the air you feel too well

The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border

On the border

Talking Heads - Life During Wartime

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
Don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no Mudd Club, or CBGB
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughtta know not to stand by the window
Somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers
Ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time?
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
I wanna hold you, and I wanna kiss you, but
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
No not that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
Changed my hairstyle so many times now
Don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep

Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, and it burns like a furnace and
The burning keeps me alive

Crosby, Stills & Nash (And Young) - Into the Darkness

Into the darkness
Soon you'll be sinking
What are you doing?
What can you be thinking

All of your friends
Have been trying to warn you
That some of your demons
Are dying to drag you

Away
Into the darkness
Into the darkness
Away

All of your life
You've been making your payments
Alone on the phone with
Your business arrangements

No wonder no-one
Could ever get near you
You're screaming too loud
No one can hear you

I see you coming
To the end of days
And was it worth it?
No one can say

I see your face
It is ghostly pale
Into the sunset
We are watching you sail

Temperature's rising
Over the rainbow
Where are you hiding?
Afraid of your shadow

We have been trying
Trying to find you
There's no use denying
Our love is behind you

Stay
Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness
Stay

Part Three

Reflection

Republica - Out of the Darkness

The Moody Blues - The Voice

Won't you take me back to school
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line
I need to hear it just one more time
Oh oh won't you tell me again
Oh oh can you feel it
Oh oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh oh won't you tell me again
Oh oh can you feel it
Oh oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

'Cos out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling
As it's carried across the waves
You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Make a promise take a vow
And trust your feelings it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the change already beginning
Oh oh won't you tell me again
Oh oh can you feel it
Oh oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

And how many words have I got to say
And how many times will it be this way
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past
You're already falling it's calling you
On to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely lonely one
Won't you tell me again
Oh oh can you feel it
Oh oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

Everything But the Girl - Missing

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there any more.
It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain...

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone.
We'd walk behind while you would run.

I look up at your house,
and I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain...

Back on the train
I ask why did I come again?
Can I confess I've been hanging around your old address?

And the years have proved
To offer nothing since you moved.
You're long gone but I can't move on

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain...

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door
I guess you don't live there any more.

It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
And I've gotta face
You've found some better place

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain...

Sting - After the Rain Has Fallen

The palace guards are all sleeping
Their fires burn into the night
There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And all that's left is a quarter moon of light

He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies

All your money, your pretty necklace
This is my work on such a night
There's a storm coming over the mountains
I'll be gone long before the morning

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I've take nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover'd been before
And the rings she wore for her bride groom
Slipped from her fingers and fell through the floor

Take me with you, take me with you
Before my lonely life is set
I've been promised to another
To a man I've never even met

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I've take nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken, and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken, there'll
Still be love in the world

She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate's wife
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows
Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I've taken nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken, and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken, there'll

Still be love in the world...

Devo - Change is Gonna Cum

Clean Living - In Heaven There Is No Beer

In Heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And when we're gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer.

In Heaven there is no fear
We worry too much here
And we drink ourselves full of beer
To help us when we deal with the fear.

The Eagles - Get over It

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin, and your daddy's too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if they gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well quit
Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt, you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Bitch about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit?

Get over it

Steve Miller - Fly Like an Eagle

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future...

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution

Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future...

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Fly right through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play.
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Sort of fade away.

So I start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head.
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face.
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out.

And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by.
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say.

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day.
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock'n'roll band
Who'll throw it all away.

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head.
Step outside cos summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face,
Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out.

And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say.

So Sally can wait
she knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger,
Don't look back in anger,
I heard you say,
Please not today.

Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere

Well we know where we're going, but we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing, but we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children, and we know what we want
And the future is certain, give us time to work it out

We're on a road to nowhere, come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere, we'll take that ride
Feeling OK this morning, and you know
We're on a road to paradise, here we go, here we go

We're on a ride to nowhere, come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere, we'll take that ride
Maybe he'll want me where you are, I don't care
Even when time isn't on our side, I'll take you there, take you there

We're on a road to nowhere...

There's a city in my mind come along and take that ride, and its all right, baby its alright
And its very far away, but its growing day by day and its alright, baby its alright
Would you like to come along? you can help me sing this song and its alright, baby its alright
They can tell you what to do, but they'll make a fool of you, and its alright, baby its alright

We're on a road to nowhere...

Dubstar - Anywhere

I'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now i'll be around, anywhere
Any time i'm free

In time the stakes will change
Even persistination couldn't stay

Now I don't mind,

Cuz i'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now i'll be around, anywhere
Any time i'm free

In time, this place is mine
You know the inspiration in my smile
Yes i don't mind
No, i don't mind

Cuz i'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now i'll be around, anywhere
Any time i'm free

I don't mind
I don't mind
Leave it all behind
I don't mind

You know the inspiration in my smile
You know the inspiration

Madonna - Nothing Really Matters

When I was very young
Nothing really mattered to me
But making myself happy
I was the only one

Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you

Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me

Lookin' at my life
It's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one

I realize
That nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins

Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me...

Nothin' takes the past away
Like the future
Nothin' makes the darkness go
Like the light

You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in your arms

Nothin' really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
