Fallen on hard times but it feels good to know,
that milk and honey’s just around the bend.
Running on bad lines we’d better run as we go,
Tear up, tear up the overdraft again.Oh, dear Prime Minister it’s all such a mess.
Go right ahead and pull the rotten tooth.
Oh, Mr. President you’ve been put to the test.
Come clean, for once, and hit us with the truth.Looking for sunshine oh but it’s black and it’s cold
Yet, you say that milk and honey’s just round the bend.
Giving us a hard time, my friends
Handing us the same line again.Fallen on hard times and there’s nowhere to hide
Now they’ve re-possessed the Rolls Royce and the mink.
Turning on the peace sign and it’s back to the wood.
Soon there will be raised a holy stink.Somebody wake me. I’ve been sleeping too long.
Oh, I don’t have to take this lying down.
You can keep your promises. Shove `em where they belong.
Don’t ask me to the party, won’t be around.Looking for sunshine oh but it’s black and it’s cold
Yet, you say that milk and honey’s just round the bend.
Giving us a hard time, my friends
Handing us the same line again.Fallen on hard times. We’ve fallen on hard times.
Fallen on hard times. If you read between the lines.
Fallen on hard times.Jethro Tull ~ Fallen On Hard Times
2 December, 2005 at 1:31 am #139003Life was a song
You came along
I lay awake the whole night throughIf I should dare
To think you care
This is what I’d say to youYou were meant for me
And I was meant for youNature fashioned you
And when she was done
You were all those good things
Rolled into oneYou’re like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
I’m content the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for meYou’re like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
I’m content the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me9 December, 2005 at 4:26 am #139004They say that you play too loud
Well baby that’s tough
They say that you got too much
Can’t get enough
They tell you that you look a fool
And baby I’m a fool for you
They say that your mind’s diseased
Shake your stuffCHORUS:
And it’s a rock ‘n’ roll damnation
Ma’s own whippin’ boy
Rock ‘n’ roll damnation
Take a chance while you still got the choiceYou say that you want respect
Honey for what?
For everything that you’ve done for me
Thanks a lotGet up off your bended knees
You could set your mind at ease
My temperature’s running hot
I’ve been waiting all night for a bite of what you gotCHORUS
Damnation, they’re puttin’ you down
Damnation, all over town
Damnation, cause you’re way outta reach
Livin’ on the streets you gotta practice what you preachCHORUS
Damnation, left a happy home
Damnation, to live on your own
Damnation, you want to live in sin
Damnation, it’s a rock ‘n’ roll –
Damnation, just a bundle of joy
Damnation, you’re a toy for a boy
Damnation, you got dollars in your eye
Damnation, chasin’ that pie in the sky
Damnation, rock ‘n’ roll –

And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It’s hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can’t take anymoreLet me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You’re not aloneWhen you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You’re caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can’t face the dayLet me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You’re not alone‘Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it’s over you’ll breathe again
You’ll breath againWhen you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heartLet me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You’re not alone11 December, 2005 at 6:53 pm #139006Maybe it’s intuition
But some things you just don’t question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I’ve found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe[chorus:]
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my lifeThere’s just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I’m searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believeI knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my lifeA thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you12 December, 2005 at 7:41 am #139007I LIVE MY LIFE TO BE WITH YOU
NO-ONE CAN DO THE THINGS YOU DOROY ORBISON
12 December, 2005 at 4:31 pm #139008He’s a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.He’s as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don’t worry,
Take your time, don’t hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand.
Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.He’s a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.The Beatles ~ Nowhere Man

I think you were right
That all my angry words
Will keep me up at night
And through the old screen door
I still hear you say
Oh, Honey won’t you stop
Treating me that way..
Sheryl Crow- The Difficult Kind13 December, 2005 at 5:07 am #139010I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own companyYou’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of itI will not forsake the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks, they left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can seeAnd you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now, my, oh myYou’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You’ve got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of itI was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at allYou’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of itAnd if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
It’s just a moment
This time will pass14 December, 2005 at 2:35 am #139011Yes as corny as it seems – this is the song I sing to my little one
to calm him down. Been singing it since he came home from the hospital. Almost 2 years later – I’m still singing it (good thing he doesn’t know how aweful I sound)Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you. -
