Ballroom Blitz: The Sweet

Are you ready, Steve? Aha.
Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK.
Alright, fellas, let's go!

Oh it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me, aha
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing

Refrain

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Refrain

It's it's a ballroom blitz, it's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz, yeah, it's a ballroom blitz

My favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers song for this year....

STORM IN A TEACUP

Come on come on baby
Let me show you what I'm talking about
You try to be a lady
But your walkin' like a sour kraut
Looka looka lika lika
Like you want to get some
If you never tell a lie
Then you never have to play dumb

Dirty baby time you're gonna take some
Pretty baby love you're make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some

Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitaion
Little lady what a reputation
Kinda shady now you're gonna make again

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the
Masses, dear
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Every other day you say
You're gonna have to bury 'em
Famous last words
Spoken from the laserium
Descendants had to record
Sayin' somethin' 'bout Milo
You can take the a train
But you're gonna have to lie low

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the
Masses, dear
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Dirty baby time you're gonna take some
Pretty baby love you're make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some

Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitaion
Little lady what a reputation
Kinda shady now you're gonna make again

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know we may never get
out of, here
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill

Gary Allan "Life Ain't Always Beautiful"

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggle makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin' its  sweet time

[chorus]
No,life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life aint always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin' all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life dont work that way


But the struggles makes me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin' its sweet time

No, life aint always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life aint always beautiful
But its a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

Nocturnal Rites - Fools Never Die


Trading their lies on the TV-screen
Telling us all what to be
Act like they’re gods, egos inflated
Can’t believe you’d fail to see

Other lives on the great divide
And hungry you swallow their scheme
Small-minded fools, all so conceited
Don’t you know that they’re never quite they seem

As weird as if a dream

Another fool, one more crossing the line
Won’t believe, a mad man leads the blind
So follow your heart and hear them cry
Because fools never die

Crawl on your knees for your world to grow.
A round of applause and you go
In with the freaks, swallow our poison
Never thought you’d stoop this low
Those who would trade their liberty for temporary security will get neither. --Benjamin Franklin.

The Kingsmen (1955)

Louie Louie Lyrics




(I'll bet many of you didn't even think there were real lyrics)

And even fewer know the lyrics were written after it was recorded.

Great piece of trivia.


Thank you.  I just made it up.

There goes that freaking "Trust but Verify" Détente I set up...

I didn't expect you to take it seriously.  I mean - really - a song written after it was recorded?  I'm better than I thought.  :innocent:

Thunderstone - Virus


All systems down, something's wrong
Unplugged and freezed to the bone
Feels like I'm locked out, helpless within
I can feel uncertainty's rising

We trust too much and we are too blue-eyed
We get careless and we will fail
And we will wake up when it's too late
Tower of power is crashing down
My life will be erased, no files will be found

Gazing the screen, feeling the power
Still walking on the thinnest ice
For the last three to five years memories been saved
Without warning everything's gone

We trust too much and we are too blue-eyed
We get careless and we will fail
And we will wake up when it's too late
Tower of power is crashing down
My life will be erased, no files will be found

There's something invisible here with us
Untouchable, spreading like rust
There's something invisible here with us
And it's teasing and tearing our minds apart
There's a virus

There will be time when I will rise again
When all the things are saved and settled down
I'll be awake and I will never fail

There's something invisible here with us
Untouchable, spreading like rust
There's something invisible here with us
And it's teasing and tearing our minds apart
There's a virus
Those who would trade their liberty for temporary security will get neither. --Benjamin Franklin.

Thunderstone - Feeding The Fire

Burn me - with your eyes of fire
Turn me - from faith to desire
Take me - across the line and through the door
Break me - make me your slave forevermore
It feels so good
TO be so bad
I'm flying ever higher
On the wings of desire
Flying too close to the wire
I'm going to take the fall
Just to Feed the Fire
Waiting - for another chance to steal your glance
Watching - you spin around like in a trance
Craving - to be close enough to feel your breath
Knowing - that this will be the kiss of death
It feels too good
To ever turn back
I'm flying ever higher...
It feels so good
To be so bad
I'm flying ever higher...
Those who would trade their liberty for temporary security will get neither. --Benjamin Franklin.

Bo Bice

"The Real Thing"

Every word I say, I mean it
Every single day, I feel it

But sometimes when you talk
It's obvious you want to show it
So don't blow it

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
There's a stillness in the air like no one else is there
And every moment stays in the moment
Yeah

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
It feels like you're taking a part of me with you
I never know how it'll be
I guess it's just a mystery
But is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin on)

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
The real thing

Its been awhile-Staind



Staind Outside

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Yeah

All this time
That I could make you breathe
Yeah

All the times
That I felt insecure
Yeah

And I leave
A burning path of flame

(Chorus)
I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All this time
That I felt like this won’t add
Once for you

And I taste
What I could never have
It’s from you

All those times
That I tried
My intentions
Full of pride
And I waist
More time than anyone

I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I’ve cried
All that’s wasted
It’s all inside

And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It’s back again

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can’t mend

And I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
But I know

That I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Sabaton - Nuclear Attack


Dropped from Enola, a city erased, threat of the future displayed
A power unheard of a power unseen
Flash out of nowhere, the sky is burning

At 8:16 AM Tokyo control realized something was wrong
Reports of explosions, destruction and pain
Air raid from hell city gone in a blaze

August in black, B-29's coming back

Prepare for nuclear attack
Warned but did not heed
Prepare for nuclear attack
Extermination
Strike back
Chose not to believe
Another nuclear attack

From the southeast came the second attack, threat of tomorrow unveiled
11:02 on the 9th of August
Over the valley, like ball lightning

The bomb detonates and the land turns to waste, barren for decades to come
The factories burning, the steelworks destroyed
Surrender your war else you'll perish in flames

Second attack, B-29's turning back.
Those who would trade their liberty for temporary security will get neither. --Benjamin Franklin.

Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive (Mister In-Between)

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

(To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark)

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me, hmm?

(Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin' of the negative
And the accent of the positive)
And gather 'round me children in you're willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right

(You've gotta accentutate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between)

You've got to spread joy (up to the maximum)
Bring gloom (down) to the minimum
Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor)
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say (what did they say)
Say when everything looked so dark

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch On to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No! Don't mess with Mister In-Between

Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Animals

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You ****ed up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin.
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hatpin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Hey you, Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?

You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.
“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.”  -Henry Ford

Copperhead Road
(Steve Earle)
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road

Modifed second verse

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
Got a first class white trash get away
I done two tours of duty in Afghanistan
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seeds and the Poppies from Khandar
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a Blackhawk in the air
they use em just like we did over there
I learned a thing or two from Haji don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road

Convoy

By Bill Fries & Chip Davis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon

Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon

Uh, yeah, that's a big 10-4 Pig-Pen,
Yeah, we definitely got us the front door good buddy,
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about to put the hammer on down

Cause we gotta little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck
Uh, you wanna back off them hogs
10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger
Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa-Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
An' them bears 'as wall to wall
Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear-in-the-air
I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck
We about to go a huntin' bear

Cause we gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that Pig-Pen?
Uh, negatory Pig-Pen, yer still too close
Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten

Well we rolled up interstate fourty-four
Like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all a our swindle sheets
An' left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Chi-Town
Them bears was a gittin' smart
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard
There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps
An' rigs of every size
Yeah them chicken coops 'as full a bears
An' choppers filled the skies
Well we shot the line, an' we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreusse microbus

Hey Sod Buster, listen
You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey?
Yeah, he's haulin dynamite
He needs all the help he can git

Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey Shore
An' prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge 'as lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight
I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4

Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, 10-4 Pig-Pen, what's yer 20?
Omaha?!
Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer sure
Well mercy sakes alive good buddy
We gonna back on outta here
So keep the bugs off yer glass
An' the bears off yer... tail
We gonna catch ya on the flip-flop
This here's the Rubber Duck on the side
We gone
Bye, Bye...

Sabaton - In The Name Of God

Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits you
Claim you're just, killing women and children
Fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when you're hunted
Like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear

Chosen by god or a coward insane?
Stand up and show me your face!

Suicidal, in a trance
A religious army
Fight without a uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just
Authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die, and call it gods will

Run when its time to pay, fear consequence of your action
Reappear, when you're almost forgotten
Dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and destruction
Kill your own, a response of your actions

Captured in all you lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who's gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action
Those who would trade their liberty for temporary security will get neither. --Benjamin Franklin.

Its been awhile-Staind



Staind Outside

] So happy-Theory of a dead man- Put the bottle down, finally got somethin’ to say
Take another look around and find someone else to play
Needless to say .. That you’ve got problems
There’s no f#kin’ way .. that I’m gonna solve them
It’s never the same .. every time you slip, then you fall down, down, down

Ever wonder what I been thinkin’ about?
I been thinkin’ bout throwin’ you out

Chorus
I’m so happy about you .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I’m so happy now we’re through .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I was so afraid, now you’re gone away
Sent you packing, look who’s laughin’ now
I’m so happy that I feel this way
I’m so happy that I threw you away

Put your problems down and pick up what’s left of the pain
Take a good look at yourself and see who’s really to blame
Needless to say .. you got issues
There’s no f#kin’ way .. that I’m gonna fix you
[ So Happy lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

It’s never the same .. ever since you went fallin’ down, down, down

Ever wonder what I been thinkin’ about?
I been thinkin’ bout throwin’ you out

Chorus
I’m so happy about you .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I’m so happy now we’re through .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I was so afraid, now you’re gone away
Sent you packing, look who’s laughin’ now
I’m so happy that I feel this way
I’m so happy that I threw you away

Chorus
I’m so happy about you .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I’m so happy now we’re through .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I was so afraid, now you’re gone away
Sent you packing, look who’s laughin’ now
I’m so happy that I feel this way
I’m so happy that I threw you away

Lyrically, my personal favorite from Staind.

Epiphany

Quote
Your words they make just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
And the words just disappear
Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said
So i speak to you in riddles
Cuz my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
Cuz i can't take anymore of this
I wanna come apart
And did myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart
Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said
I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for intention
That i always try to hide
Cuz i talk to you like children
Though i don't know how i feel
But i know i'll do the right thing
If the right thing is in fear
Cuz its always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said

I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad

Saxon - Terminal Velocity


Get your kicks in the edge of the sky
Twenty miles up from the borderline
Feel the rush as your body drops through the air
Take a step right into space
Take the blast right in your face
Ya tumbling down, down towards the ground

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
Terminal velocity

Adrenaline rush on a maximum high
Thirty thousand feet to the end of the line
Ya screaming down towards the world below
Push yourself out dive into air
Take a leap the devil may care
Ya ride the wind across the open sky

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
At terminal velocity

Terminal velocity

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
Terminal velocity

Get your kicks in the edge of the sky
Twenty miles up from the borderline
Feel the rush as your body drops through the air
Take a step right into space
Take the blast right in your face
Ya tumbling down, down towards the ground

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
At terminal velocity

Terminal velocity
Terminal velocity

Taylor Swift "Teardrops On My Guitar"  (pop country, I know, but I love the original version of the song, and not that pathetic remix that's playing on the radio more often :whatever:).

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

The Kingsmen (1955)

Louie Louie Lyrics




(I'll bet many of you didn't even think there were real lyrics)

And even fewer know the lyrics were written after it was recorded.

Great piece of trivia.


Thank you.  I just made it up.

There goes that freaking "Trust but Verify" Détente I set up...

I didn't expect you to take it seriously.  I mean - really - a song written after it was recorded?  I'm better than I thought.  :innocent:

LOL -- well, in the case of "Louie Louie" rock lore has it that no one knew what the words were.  Thus retro-lyricing would actually make sense.

Thunderstone - Eyes Of A Stranger


Eyes of a stranger are watching me
Haunting my every single move
I feel like a victim with no reason why
Still there is no fear at all
I feel you, I hear you when you're not around
Presence so powerfull confusing me
Now I am here all alone:with you.

Take a look behind and just realize
There's a stranger watching for all of us
When you think you're alone
Unprepared and so down
You might feel the eyes of a stranger

Protecting and leading my steps through the life
Guiding my way in this world of fears
Sometimes I'm lost and I'm so afraid
It's hard to find my way out by myself
I feel you, I hear you when you're not around
Presence so powerfull confusing me
Now I am here all alone:with you.

Take a look behind and just realize
There's a stranger watching for all of us
When you think you're alone
Unprepared and so down
You might feel the eyes of a stranger
Those who would trade their liberty for temporary security will get neither. --Benjamin Franklin.

It's hard to follow a post like NHSparky's.  :-)

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat

Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat

Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on

But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.
