Wow, cool. "The Wall" by Kansas



"Again the morning's come,

Again he's on the run,

Sunbeams shining through his hair,

Appearing not to have a care.

Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on."

More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly. Woody Allen (1935 - )

[JJtheCool]

Ooh, ooh! This one I know by heart. 'Melissa' by the 1st version of The Allman Brothers Band.



"I awake to see that no one is free

We're all fugitives, look at the way we live

Down here, I cannot sleep from fear, no

Oh, which way do I turn, I forget everything I learned"



From a band I'll never get tired of listening to.

that is "Spies" by Coldplay - not my fave band but hey



Erm...my go I guess...



"We used to say "There'd come the day we'd all be making songs

Or finding better words" These ideas never lasted long



The way is up along the road, the air is growing thin

Too many friends who tried, blown off this mountain with the wind"



By rights I'm a little too young to know this but I love the band! Extra points for who wrote it also.

"Einstein On The Beach" by Counting Crows



What I am to you is not real

What I am to you you do not need

What I am to you is not what you mean to me

You give me miles and miles of mountains

And I'll ask for the sea



And extra points if you can name the babe who also sings on this song (hint: she shares a last name that is very popular around here )

That's Volcano by my new favorite singer-songwriter Damien Rice w/ Lisa Hannigan. After only hearing the last 45 seconds of this song I bought the cd the same day. I only recently came upon the hidden track which is my favorite song on the album now.





we would share and listen and support and welcome

be propelled by passion

not invest in outcomes

we would breathe and be charmed

and amused by difference

be gentle and make room for every emotion



we'd provide forums

we'd all speak out

we'd all be heard

we'd all feel seen

"Utopia" - Alanis Morissette



Another Google-found effort. Hooray for me!!!!!!



So here we go, cats & kits.



"So you cut all the tall trees down,

You poisoned the sky and the sea.

You've taken what's good from the ground,

But you left precious little for me."

You've got me in a spin but everythings A-okay"

"I Believe In A Thing Called Love Lyrics" by Darkness



ok, let's try this again...anyone?





When the years have done irreparable harm

I can see us walking slowly arm in arm

Just like the couple on the corner do

'Cause girl I will always be in love with you

And when I look in your eyes

I'll still see that spark

Until the shadows fall

Until the room grows dark

"True Companion" by Marc Cohn. (gosh but i love that guy)



ok an easy one....



"Are you thinking

What I'm thinking

Does your pulse

Quicken like mine

Are you dreaming

What I'm dreaming

I can`t read your mind

One step towards you

Two steps back

Feels like I'm crawling"

Oooh, I love that song, Andi. Hey sweetie!



"Consequences of Falling," KD Lang



So it's these women

They keep coming into my life

And they've got the same damn story

Yeah they're living in my strife

But you see they're from a different town

And they got a different last name

But we've got the same lonely frown

Yes and we know how to play this game

"One thing I don't understand," Willow went on, laying herself down on top of Tara's legs, with her head resting on her stomach, "is how you don't just lock yourself in your room and play with yourself all day."
Tara laughed, which caused her chest to shudder quite expressively, and Willow to, "Mmmm," again. "Hellebore," Chapter 20 by Chris Cook

"No Rain" by Blind Melon



Take me now, baby, here as I am

Hold me close, try and understand

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel under your command

Take my hand, come under cover

They can't hurt you now

[Munchkin]

"No Rain", by Blind Melon.



Though I was never a fan of the group per se, I always did like that particular song. Plus, hearing it on the radio just two days ago helpfully jogged it for my memory.



So now that I have a legitimate excuse to post on this thread, here's something for all the folks here to wrap their heads around:



"But she's not afraid to die

The people all call her 'Alaska'

Between worlds so the people ask her

Cause it's all in her mind.

It's all in her mind."



Edited to Add: ARRGGHH!! While I was typing this, Warduke beat me to the answer first. Ah, well..

This is to answer Warduke's entry.



"Because The Night" by The Boss, Bruce Springsteen.



Though it was more of a hit for both Patti Smith & 10,000 Maniacs, the song's his and his alone.



I have no idea about Munchkin's entry so I'll let someone else take a crack at it.

Munchkin's song is Stephanie Says by The Velvet Underground.



Because the Night was co-written by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith.



Sometimes the sun shines on unkind people,

and some nights the spotlight's on shy people,

people like you,

these things are hard to think of,

but you've been broken too, haven't you?

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog...He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world...When all other friends desert, he remains. - George G. Vest

Kenickie - I Would Fix You



Red hair with a curl

well hmm.. that would be "Fell in Love With a Girl" by the White Stripes...



and here's one that proves how big of a doof i really am...



"Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,

We'll both be completely at home in midair.

We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.

We can hold onto love like invisible strings."



*woof*

When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.

[LadyBrymstone]

Ahh, yes, that would be Gozo, of Muppets fame, singing "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" from the Muppet Movie. Yay!! I love that movie. Heh.



So I walk right up to you

And you walk all over me

And I ask you what you want

And you tell me what you need



Can you feel it all come down

Can't you hear it all around

At the place where lost is found

That ______ ______ ______

How about this (UK Kittens might know this one):



I said to you I'd always

Want you and want you only,

Now there's another that I

That I want only.



I miss this other more than

More than I used to miss you

I'm sorry if my being

My being honest hurts you.

Hi Jenn...nice avatar by the way...Angel by Jon Secada..I had that one...sorry couldn't resist. I guess I should now play along with the game...told you I would pop up in threads.



here is my offering...



Walked outside

Summer moon was nearly down

Mist on the fields

Holy stillness all around

Death's no stranger

No stranger than the life I've seen

Still I cry

Still I begged to get you back again

erm... Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs?



Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"

And did you rush to the phone to call

Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind

Saying maybe you didn't know him at all

You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know
