LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
Post poems, art, or just links to your favorite song that helps your spirit!!!
Music is language without words Conor Oberst Danny Callahan lyrics Green world, love the chloroform. Front porch in the thunderstorm. Controlled chaos, confused energy. So stop reading the weather charts. Stop counting the playing cards. There's no system, there's no guarantee That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed. But you try, I know you do you still talk To your plans. Ask how are you getting on alone? Some wander the wilderness, Some drink cosmopolitans. Some cold science, some glean astroplanes. I can't tell where the canvas stops, Homesick as an astronaut. Just keep drifting, but still can't explain. How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed. See a brother in the gutter you reach out your hand. Ask how are you getting on alone? What gauge measures miracles? And whose heartbeat's electrical? We feign sickness with our modern joy. But even Western medicine, It couldn't save Danny Callahan. Bad bone marrow, a bald little boy. But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed. He lay still, His mother kissed him goodbye, said 'comeback.' Where are you going to alone? Where are you going all alone? |

KT Tunstall, Universe & You
A fire burns Water comes You cool me down When I'm cold inside You are warm and bright You know you are so good for me,yeah With your child's eyes You are more than you seem You see into space I see in your face The places you've been The things you have learned They sit with you so beautifully You know there's no need to hide away You know I tell the truth We are just the same I can feel everything you do Hear everything you say Even when you're miles away Cause I am me, the universe and you And just like stars burning bright Making holes in the night We are building bridges You know there's no need to hide away You know I tell the truth We are just the same I can feel everything you do Hear everything you say Even when you're miles away Cause I am me, the universe and you I'm the universe and you When you're on your own I'll send you a sign Just so you know I am me, the universe and you The universe and you The universe and you I am the universe and you |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
The wisdom of Larry the cable guy......
1. A day without sunshine is like night. 2. On the other hand, you have different fingers. 3 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. 4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 5. Remember, half the people you know are below average. 6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest. 7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. 8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap 9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have. 10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. 12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments. 13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand. 14 OK, so what's the speed of dark? 15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. 16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now. 17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges? 18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. 19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice? 20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name? 21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the hell happened?' 22. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
O Fortuna
velut luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem. Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris. Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria. Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite! Translation =O O Fortune, like the moon you are constantly changing, ever waxing and waning; hateful life now oppresses and then soothes as fancy takes it; poverty and power it melts them like ice. Fate - monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, you are malevolent, well-being is vain and always fades to nothing, shadowed and veiled you plague me too; now through the game I bring my bare back to your villainy. Fate, in health and virtue, is against me driven on and weighted down, always enslaved. So at this hour without delay pluck the vibrating strings; since Fate strikes down the strong man, everyone weep with me! |

Frank Zappa
Dreamed I was an Eskimo Frozen wind began to blow Under my boots and around my toes The frost that bit the ground below It was a hundred degrees below zero... And my mama cried And my mama cried Nanook, a-no-no Nanook, a-no-no Don't be a naughty Eskimo Save your money, don't go to the show Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh Well I turned around and I said "Ho, Ho" And the northern lights commenced to glow And she said, with a tear in her eye "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow" "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow" Always brings a tear to my eye... |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
EPIPHANY If all men are truly one As it's taught by every Buddha, every Christ, Then I am each and every person, And everyone is me. If, then, I bear all the hurt, all the anger, Every sin and all the blame, I claim as well the exhilaration Of each of history's finest hours. Where then is the level of unity? Do I end with my hands, or my enemy's? The world, the universe, the mind of God, The surge and tuck of magnetic time; All Truth is born in this numinous matrix. I follow the road chanting: SO THIS IS THEE! ©1989 |

Heaven is a Place on Earth - Sung By - Belinda Carlisle
R. Nowels/E. Shipley) When the night falls down I wait for you And you come around And the world's alive With the sound of kids On the street outside When you walk into the room You pull me close and we start to move And we're spinning with the stars above And you lift me up in a wave of love... Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth? Ooh heaven is a place on earth They say in heaven love comes first We'll make heaven a place on earth Ooh heaven is a place on earth When I feel alone I reach for you And you bring me home When I'm lost at sea I hear your voice And it carries me In this world we're just beginning To understand the miracle of living Baby I was afraid before But I'm not afraid anymore Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth? Ooh heaven is a place on earth They say in heaven love comes first We'll make heaven a place on earth Ooh heaven is a place on earth Last edited by eurosceptic; 10-12-2008 at 12:00 PM. |

Paul Weller - Porcelain God
Beware false prophets - take a stand! My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand, More advice to fill up your head More empty words from the living dead- Who seek to explain what can't really be said- And how disappointed I was To turn out after all - Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls- Too much will kill you - too little ain't enough You shout my name but I'll call your bluff Most who see me - see me not for real We fake & fawn - play games 'til dawn But I could see what you can see And I hate too what you hate in me - And how disappointed I am To find me part of no plan - Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls I shake it off and start again "Don't lose control" - I tell myself, Life can take many things away - Some people will try - and take it all They'll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl And how disappointed I was To turn out after all - Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls- That shatters when it falls. |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
Waiting for The End of The World - Elvis Costello
The man from the television crawled into the train. I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time. Everyone was looking for a little entertainment, So they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name. And then they shut down the power all along the line, And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine. They got to touchin' all the girls were to scared to call out. Nobody was saying anything at all. We were waiting for the end of the world, Waiting for the end of the world, Waiting for the end of the world. Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming 'Cause you really started something. Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again. We got to the station about twenty minutes later. The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at. Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that, With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes, His suntan lotion and his castanets. He was waiting for the end of the world, Waiting for the end of the world, Waiting for the end of the world. Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming 'Cause you really started something. And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah. Hiding from a scandal in the national press, They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress. You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach, But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach. Waiting for the end of the world. (repeat and fade) LIFE DURING WARTIME by The Talking Heads Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons packed up and ready to go Heard of some gravesites, 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, 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 nightime 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 C. B. G. B. I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, PA? You oughta 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'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you 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 I know that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives or in a suit and a tie I 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 Get you instructions, follow directions then you should change your address Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day whatever you think is best Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace the burning keeps me alive Try to stay healthy, physical fitness don't want to catch no disease Try to be careful, don't take no chances you better watch what you say |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
C. Dion - If that's what it takes
.......................... When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend every beat of my heart, every day without end I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed I will lay down my life, if that's what you need Every second I live, that's the promise I make Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes. Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul I will hold on all night and never let go Every second I live, that's the promise I make Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes ........................... Brings a (happy) tear to my eye believing one can love another selflessly as much as the above lyrics imply. |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
There is a poet in North Carolina, His name is Javan.
Maybe you want to review this next piece from 1984: I'm not very good At this game called Life For I've not learned to see children crying Without feeling pain For I've not learned to watch animals destroyed Without wondering why For I've not yet met a king or celebrity That I would bow down to Or a man so insignificant That I would use for a stepping stone For I've no learned to be a "yes man" To narrow minded bosses Who quote rules without reason And I've not learned to manipulate The feelings of others To be used for my own advantages Then cast aside as I see fit No, I'm not very good At this game called live And if everything goes well Maybe I never will be Javan |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
LIKE HUMANS DO!!!! Yes!!!! One of my favorites. Listen to what he says in the beginning of this video!
"To love human beings despite their failings" WOW!!! Is this relevant or what?!?!?! Enjoy friends! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzmZXYKmTt0 For millions of years, In millions of homes A man loved a woman, A child it was born It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry Like Humans Do I'm breathin in I'm breathin out So slip inside this funky house Dishes in the sink The TV's in repair Don't look at the floor Don't go up the stairs I'm achin I'm shakin I'm breakin Like Humans Do I work & I sleep & I dance & I'm dead I'm eatin, I'm laughin & I'm lovin myself We're eatin off plates & and we kiss with our tongue Like Humans Do I'm breathin in I'm breathin out So slip inside this funky house Dishes in the sink The TV's in repair Don't look at the floor Don't go up the stairs I'm achin I'm shakin I'm breakin Like Humans Do I'm breathin in I'm breathin out So slip Inside this funky house Wiggle while you work Anybody can The rain is pourin' in on a woman & a man I'm achin I'm shakin I'm breakin Like Humans Do I'm breathin in I'm breathin out |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
When you sing
of a joy only love can bring Heaven knows it's in my heart, and my soul We're caught in a world full of tears So many sad times and fears So while there's a chance and you're near Well, lets dance Let's dance There's a world far away from the one we see There's a dream I will never let go One thing is certainly This moment's for me and for you And while there's not a thing that we can do Let's dance Let's dance Chris Rea, "Let's Dance" |

Re: LYRICS FOR YOUR SOUL!! post here!
I AM music
"I AM music, most ancient of the arts. I am more than ancient: I am eternal. Even before life commenced upon this earth, I was here - in the winds and the waves. When the first trees and flowers and grasses appeared, I was among them. And when humanity came, I at once became the most delicate, most subtle, and most powerful medium for the expression of their emotions. When they were little better than beasts, I influenced them for their good. In all ages I have inspired humanity with hope, kindled their love, given a voice to their joys, cheered them on to valorous deeds, and soothed them in times of despair. I have played a great part in the drama of Life, whose end and purpose is the complete perfection of humanity's nature. Through my influence human nature has been uplifted, sweetened and refined. A long line of the brightest minds have devoted themselves to the perfection of instruments through which they may utilize my powers and enjoy my charms. I have myriads of voices and instruments. I am in the hearts of all peoples and on their tongues, in all lands and among all cultures: the ignorant and unlettered know me, not less than the rich and learned. For I speak to all peoples, in a language that all understand. Even the deaf hear me, if they but listen to the voices of their own souls. I am the food of love. I have taught humanity gentleness and peace: and I have led them onward to heroic deeds. I comfort the lonely, and I harmonize the discord of crowds. I am a necessary luxury to all. I AM music." - Allen Inman |

The Healing Room, Sinead O'Connor (Beautiful song, I recommend hearing it)
I have a universe inside me Where I can go, an spirit guides me There I can ask oh any question I get the answers if I listen I have a healing room inside me The loving healers there they feed me They make me happy with their laughter They kiss and tell me I'm their daughter I'm their daughter (Me love you lots of lots of lots) You have a little voice inside you It doesn't matter who you think you may be You're not free if you don't know me See I'm not the lie that lives outside you And it doesn't matter what you think you believe You're not free if you don't know me If you don't know me See I am the universe inside you You come to me and I will guide you And make you happy with my laughter I joy in seeing you're my daughter You're my daughter So believe you're not free if you don't know me if you don't know me if you don't know me if you don't know me if you don't know me if you don't know me if you don't know |
