:popcorn: :popcorn:

Enjoy the Silence

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

1. Under the Milky Way by The Church.

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty,
Sound of their breath fades with the light.
I think about the loveless fascination,
Under the milky way tonight.

Lower the curtain down in memphis,
Lower the curtain down all right.
I got no time for private consultation,
Under the milky way tonight.

Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.

And it’s something quite peculiar,
Something that’s shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight
(chorus)
Under the milky way tonight.

[Guava Jelly]

2. Kajagoogoo.

Tongue tied or short of breath, don't even try, try a little harder.
Something's wrong, I'm not naive you must be strong,
ooh baby try, hey girl, move a little closer

You're too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush hush

Modern medicine falls short of your complaint, try a little harder
You're moving in circles won't you dilate,
ooh baby try, hey girl, move a little closer

You're too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush hush

You're too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush hush

Moving Targets — Fish

Oily river, running deep
Dirty water, racing through the city streets
Swollen gutters, summer storms
Walking wounded, stand to in another dawn
Watching in silence, one eye on the time
One eye on the madness around them
They don't know they're blind

His mind on the trigger he picks up a magazine
exits the underground enters the scene
And check outs the world and all the moving targets
And just his sights step taken the moving targets

Locked and loaded
Safety off
Checks his bearings on the ground before taking off
Middle distance, draws a bead
Allowing a margin for error, he takes a lead
He's out in the open, he's out on his own
So far from his family, so far from home
Came out of his hiding, came out of the trees
He blew all his cover when he entered the killing fields

Only to find he'd become a moving target
He walked out in the world and became a moving target
Where the hunter is hunted, a moving target

And with the breath still in his lungs
He steadies his hand on the barrel of a loaded gun
His sights set on the world, his heartbeat slows
His pulse, marking the time,
He senses the pressure of the moment and clears his mind
He calmly delivers the bullet and recoils from the dream

Moving targets

Rolling numbers
Rolling bones
Lucky ladies
He takes them out and takes them down
Collecting trophies
Hunting game
No remorse as they've only got themselves to blame
Breeding high innocence
Running in herds
The weak and woeful
Get what they deserve
There's no room for pity
There's no space for guilt
In this murderous city it's kill or be killed

When you're running in the field you become a moving target
When you start making marks you become a moving target
You take your first step in the world and become a moving target
When you walk in the world you become a moving target
Wander in shopping malls
Moving targets
The high school assembly halls
Moving targets
At fuel stops and parking lots
Moving targets
In high streets and supermarts
Moving targets

Moving targets
No place to hide
No place to hide
Bang bang bang
Bang bang bang

There's no place to hide

4. ...

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

[BigMcLargehuge]

5. Oh shit!

The cake!!!!!!

[Floogeldy]

6. What good is cake?

If you can't eat it, too? ;)

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. I was gonna eat that cake

but now it's all wet and I don't think I wanna

8. "Tô" ("I am") by Tom Zé (whom I consider the 'Brazilian Frank Zappa')

"Tô" ("I am")
by Tom Zé

Tô bem de baixo prá poder subir
Tô bem de cima prá poder cair
Tô dividindo prá poder sobrar
Disperdiçando prá poder faltar
Devagarinho prá poder caber
Bem de leve prá não perdoar
Tô estudando prá saber ignorar
Eu tô aqui comendo pra vomitar

I’m too low to get up
I’m too high to fall off
I’m too split up to be left over
Too wasted to be gone
Slowly so I can fit
Glancingly so I won’t forgive
I’m studying to know
how not to know)
I’m eating so I can vomit

Tô te explicando
Prá te confundir
Tô te confundindo
Prá te esclarecer
Tô iluminando
Pra te esclarecer
Tô iluminando
Prá poder cegar
Tô ficando cego
Prá poder guiar

I’m making it clear
To confuse you
I’m confusing you
To make things clear
I’m illuminating
So I can blind
I going blind
So I can guide

Devagarinho prá poder rasgar
Olho fechado prá ver melhor
Com alegria prá poder chorar
Desesperado prá ter paciência
Carinhoso prá poder ferir
Lentamente prá não atrasar
Atrás da vida prá poder morrer
Eu tô me despedindo prá poder voltar

Slowly so I can rip
Eyes shut to see you better
Happily so I can cry
Desperately to be patient
Slowly so I won’t be late
Running after life to be able to die
I’m saying goodbye
so I can come back

9. anything for you gloria estephan

(normally i hate this type of music but she has such a wonderful voice)(And also i identify with the lyrics lately)


Anything for you
Though you’re not here
Since you said we’re through
It seems like years
Time keeps draggin on and on
And forever’s been and gone
Still I can’t figure what went wrong

I’d still do anything for you
I’ll play your game
You hurt me through and through
But you can have your way

I can pretend each time I see you
That I don’t care and I don’t need you
And though you’ll never see me cryin’
You know inside I feel like dying
And I’d do anything for you
In spite of it all
I’ve learned so much from you
You made me strong
But don’t you ever think that I don’t love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don’t work out right


And you just have to say goodbye

I hope you find somone to please you
Somone who’ll care and never leave you
But if that someone ever hurts you
You just might need a friend to turn to

And I’d do anything for you
I’ll give you up
If that’s what I should do
To make you happy

I can pretend each time I see you
That I don’t care and I don’t need you
And though inside I feel like dying
You know you’ll never see me crying

Don’t you ever think that I don’t love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don’t work out right
And you just have to say goodbye

[khashka]

12. OK here goes....

I see the people working and see it working for them,
And so I want to join in, but then I find it hurts me.
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have
I see the people happy, so can it happen for me?
'Cos when I have no energy, there's nothing that can move me
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that heaven is hell, some say that hell is heaven.
I must admit, just when I think I'm king (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king
(I just begin)
I've been doing it for years, my goal is moving near
It says "Look I'm over here" then it up and disappears
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
I want to be a lawyer, I want to be a scholar
But I really can't be bothered, ooh just
Gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Some say that heaven is hell, some say that hell is heaven
I must admit, just when I think I'm king (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit (I just begin)
Just when I think everything's going great (I just begin)
Hey I get the break
Hey I'm gonna take it all (I just begin)
When I'm king (just begin)
In my dome of ivory, a home of activity
I want the answers quickly, but I don't have no energy
I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within
My cup she never overfloweth and 'tis I that moan and groaneth
Some grey and white matter (give me the Karma Mama
A jet to Mecca, Tibet or Jeddah
To Salisbury, a monastery
The longest journey, across the desert
Across the weather, across the elements
Across the water)

13. was a hit back in 1979

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee goes cold
Joe Jackson

14. *Love My Way* Psychedelic Furs

Love My Way

There's an army
On the dance floor
It's a fashion
With a gun my love
In a room
Without a door
A kiss is not enough
In
Love my way
It's a new road
I follow where
My mind goes
They'd put us
On a railroad
They'd dearly
Make us pay
For laughing
In their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness
Behind their eyes
There's dust
In all their hearts
They just want to
Steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in
Love my way
It's a new road
I follow where
My mind goes
So swallow
All your tears my love
And put on
Your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't
Run the race

[wildhorses]

15. I wish I could post one of my all time favorite songs. It is called

"Ten Dances" and is by a band called STIR, however I cannot find the lyrics anywhere...if someone out there ever does come across this song I wish they would share it....since I can't post that one I will post one of my current favs:

"The One I Love"

Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love

Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves
There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love

Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
