STORM AND THUNDER (by EARTH & FIRE )
Darkness of the night has gone
a blackbird sings a song at dawn
crystal drops of morning dew
are covering all the grass
the landscape wears its morningdress
The foliage of the wood shines bright
as green as emerald's light
over the fields vibrating air
causes a faintly glance
some cows are grazing near a fence
While lowering clouds accumalate
Midges dancing above the lake
the haymakers, they go away
hiding for a storm
a flash of lightening struck
Storm and thunder
beat the nature
down gushes the rain and
wind cracks the trees

Who'll Stop The Rain - C.C.R.
Long as I remember the rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun;
And I Wonder, still I wOnder, who'lL stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, seekin' shelter froM the STORM.
Caught up in the fable, I watchEd the Tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.
:wink:

I absolutely love this song, it is so true!!
Artist: Lennon John
Album: Imagine
Title: Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one

Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye - L. Cohen
I loved you in the morning; our kisses sweet and warm
your hair upon the pillow; like a sleepy golden storm.
Yes, many loved before us; I know that we are not new
In city and in forest; they smiled like me and you.
But now it’s come to distances; and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow; hey, that’s no way to say
goodbye.
I’m not looking for another; as I wander in my time
walk me to the corner; our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you; as your love stays with me
it’s just the way it changes; like the shoreline and the sea.
But let’s not talk of love or chains; and things we can’t untie
your eyes are soft with sorrow; hey, that’s no way to say
goodbye.
I loved you in the morning; our kisses deep and warm
your hair upon the pillow; like a sleepy golden storm.

Jane Says...Janes Addiction
Jane says
I'm done with sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says 'i don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me or,
Try again tomorrow'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
Jane says
'Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it'
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's ok man
She don't like them anyway
Jane says
'I'm going away to spain when i get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but she can't hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know...
What else to do about it
Jane goes
To the store at eight
She walks up on st. andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
'I've never been in love - no'
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
'I only want 'em if they want me,...'
'I only know they want me...'
Jane says...
Jane says...
Has anyone seen Perry on Jimmy Kimmel this week?

Thanks Storm, I didn't even realize it :oops: I did the copy and paste too quickly, I think. Thank you for completing it for me!! :thumb:
John Lennon had the right idea, I really wish everyone lived by those words, the world would actually be a happier place.

Garnet Rogers - Night Drive
How bright the stars
How dark the night
How long have I been sleeping?
Sleep overtook me on my westward flight
Held me in its keeping
I had a dream; it seemed so real
Its passing left me shaking
I saw you here , behind the wheel
On this very road I'm taking
Hurtling westward through the prairie night
Under the spell of motion
Your eyes were keen and bright in the dashboard light
Dreaming of the western ocean
The dusty towns left far behind
Mountains drawing ever nearer
Your face was then as it was tonight
Ever young
Ever dearer
I know this road
And its every curve
Where the hills commence their climbing
We rested here
If my memory serves
The northern lights were shining
You lit a smoke
We shared some wine
We watched the sky in wonder
Your laughter echoes after all this time
In that high and wild blue yonder
I don't know why I write these lines
It's not like I could send you the letter
It's that I love your more after all this time
It's that I wish I'd shown you better
Years have slipped
Beneath my wheels
Dwindling in my rear view mirror
As time has passed
Your life has seemed less real
But these night drives bring you nearer
So tonight I'll wish upon these stars
As they rise upward to guide me
That I'll see you here just as you are
Now, as then, beside me
Scares me how the years have flown
Like the leaves drift in September
They've lost sight of you as your legends grown
But this road and I
We remember

I'm Gonna Be - The Proclaimers
When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you.
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you.
If I haver, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you.
(refrain)
But I would walk 500 miles
An' I would walk 500 more
Just to be that man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door.
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you.
When the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you.
When I come home, oh I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you.
If I grow old, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you.
(refrain)
When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you.
An' when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you.
When I go out, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.
An' when I come home, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you.
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home...with you!

Upward Over the Mountain
by Iron & Wine
Mother don’t worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don’t worry, I’ve got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with the girl who was with me
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain
Mother I made it up from the bruise of the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons can be birds taken broken up to the mountain
Mother don’t worry, I’ve got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don’t worry, she’s got a garden we’re planting together
Mother remember that night that the dog had her pups in the pantry
Blood on the floor and fleas on their paws and you cried ‘til the morning
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying always over the mountain

In your eye's Peter Gabriel
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for out survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Schism
Tool
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.
There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.
Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers/brothers

Surprised no one's posted the lyrics to this tune...easily one of the greatest songs in rock history! I guess it's about soldiers in Vietnam...obviously I never fought there, nor would I ever wish that upon anyone, but I'd like to think that had I been there, this is how I'd feel....
Baba O'Riley by The Who
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
Sally ,take my hand
Travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older
Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh, oh
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!
Anybody ever seen PJ do this live? Wow, now that's an experience...take it easy everyone...

the sky was sceaming i lost you
i tried, but what could i do ?
get out the bad undo your head until you don't look like a junky
get out the bad undo your head think about what you say
kill the band + kill the band
i was caught dreaming of wealth and
what i was taught was creeping in again
they get ahead you get so mad
why do you care?
it's only money
get out the bad undo your head think about what you say
kill the band, kill the band
kill the band, kill the band
if then it rains, i'll cover your eyes
the past has a way of running our lives
learning to say the words that we hide
kill the band
kill the band, kill the band
pressure coming.
i feel it coming down
cancer's coming, i feel it coming
kill the band : Ours
.
